How can I go and play a front-end station for my parents and see what kind of person Shangguan Guojiu is? This is Chu Qianmian’s main idea.

She brought two girls, Dao Dou and Gun Dou, who were the waiters, playmates, and guards. She could go there with confidence in some places. Besides, no matter how much effort their parents put in, Qianmian could still have more insights and do her own feelings.

But how to get out?

She is a girl, and she has a good reason to go out. She is also a guest at a relative's house, so she has to be able to show off her reasons.

When he goes out, how can he meet Shangguan Guojiu? How do he understand whether his mind is vicious or has other intentions?

Chu Qianmian was concentrating on her thoughts, and Cuimei and Wuying seemed to fall into silence until Dao Dou replied outside the room: "The third lady is here, and the girls are here too."

"Cousin, I work hard and make great contributions. The post is my credit for myself." In the cheerful voice of my little cousin Chu Liwen in the big room, Mrs. Chu San and the girls from the Chu family walked in.

Chu Yunfeng has three other brothers. There are two girls in the big room, including Chu Xiuwen and Chu Liwen. Chu Caiwen in the second room. Chu Jiawen, a daughter in the third room, has been married. Chu Ziwen and Chu Huawen in the fourth room. They come together.

The nine-year-old Chu Liwen held a big red post in her hand and sent it to Chu Qianmian: "Cousin, you have to praise me, otherwise, I won't take you to play on the day of your visit. The flowers and plants on Shangguan Guojiu's mansion are famous in Beijing, so I won't lead the way..."

Her own sister Chu Xiuwen joked about her: "Then I'll lead the way." Chu Liwen pouted at her.

It’s just this kind of surprise to throw money from the sky to those who need it most. Chu Qianmian ate: “Shangguan Guojiu’s Mansion is a guest?”

She was just thinking about how to go there, how to go... Now, the luck is so good. She came with a pillow if she wanted to sleep.

Mrs. Chu San no longer had the sad face of returning an hour ago, and explained with a spring breeze: "Just thinking that Shangguan Guojiu was going to have his birthday forty years. This year, the grand celebration will be held. Anyone who you recognize in Beijing can go there no matter whether you are familiar or not. Your sisters have played with his niece for a few times and asked them to see the flowers and plants. Finally, I didn't throw you down, and asked Miss Shangguanfu Lizhu to make up for the post and specially for you. We will go together that day."

Chu Qianmian smiled strongly for her, and the third aunt improved her spirit, so she could feel at ease. She felt relieved again. The women still had personal relationships. It can be seen that the third uncle and Shangguan Guogong were not even apart, so there was still room for relief. After my father came, things would be much easier to handle.

Then he had no worries. Mrs. Chu San sent a lot of clothes and jewelry, saying that she would wear it on the day she was a guest. The sisters helped choose clothes and faces, and then went to the water pavilion to cool off in the evening. The evening ended with joy.

...

Under the stars at night, Chu Yunfeng looked back on today's business as usual, sat on the bed of the Arhat and closed his eyes, and also raised his spirits.

Mrs. Chu San sat down opposite him, and Chu Yunfeng opened his eyes and smiled: "Have your wife's good plan been arranged?"

"I know that the destruction of marriages is unethical, but," Mrs. Chu San began to worry again: "Master, you also know that the child of the Fan family has a reputation as the incurable one, besides the playboy."

Chu Yunfeng smiled in agreement: "I know. But I didn't promise you that once Yunqi entered Beijing, put my affairs behind and first talk about his wrong marriage."

"But I'm not at ease. Qianmian has been here for less than two days. The master and I can see that she is a good child. The marriage is followed by the orders of his parents. If Yunqi's cousin wants too much face and cannot give up the marriage, Qianmian will be the one who suffers." Mrs. Chu San's face looked unhappy.

Chu Yunfeng was amused: "Madam, don't be angry anymore. I have agreed to what Madam wants." He coaxed his wife: "Speak your good plan again and you will not be angry anymore."

"That's right. I think if Qianmian had seen the child of the Fan family, even if she had just a glance, she would not look down on that temperament. Qianmian said she would not agree, and as an aunt, I could stand up for her, which would be reasonable. Otherwise, my cousin would definitely say that I was troublesome. But taking my niece out and pointing out to her to the boy from the Fan family, she would definitely say that I was troublesome and that she would be angry with me if she couldn't say that she would be angry with me. Shangguan Guogong was on birthday, but the boy from the Fan family must be there. Whether the female family sat or walked outside, it was not the same place. But if you let your niece look at him across the river or see him through the flower wall, it was possible."

Chu Yunfeng felt more and more laughing: "Madam, you can be Zhuge Liang, but how do you know that the boy from the Fan family will definitely pass? The playboy teased a business girl from another province two years ago. Shangguan Guojiu lost his temper and personally ordered the purge of Kyoto. The boy from the Fan family said he was not good enough to see him."

Mrs. Chu San smiled but said nothing.

"Madam, please tell me. If you don't say it, I know that your mother's cousin also has a name for a playboy. However, although he is a playboy, he has not lost his studies and practices, and he is useless to Brother Hua of the Fan family."

Mrs. Chu San smiled and said, "It's not to hide it from the master. It's not bad. I'm worried about my niece. When I came back from the Fan family, I called my cousin in front of me. The child respected me and I asked him to make an idea. He also said that Fan Hua could not marry, so he agreed to ask Fan Hua to Shangguan Guojiu Mansion. The girls said that there was a flower room inside and outside the two doors of the Guojiu Mansion, and there was a crossing in the two flower rooms. At that time, I would take Qianmian to see the flowers and let the boy from the Fan family walk out of the crossing in, just take a look, take a look..."

Mrs. Chu San was angry again. Just take a look and you would know that Fan Hua was not a good person. If my cousin refused to break the contract, it would be too confused.

...

The day before going to Shangguan Guojiu's mansion, Lao Cangtou, who was driving the car, said a few words. Gun Dou took it and went into the second door to return to Chu Qianmian.

"Uncle Cang has been in the small teahouse and theater in Beijing these days. It is said that when the Empress did not give birth to the little prince, Shangguan Guojiu's power was greater than that of Taifu Yu. Now the Empress has a little highman under her knees. In order to protect her, the officials arranged for each inquiries, and then they had a disagreement with the third master in charge of the Ministry of Personnel."

Gun Dou sticks out his tongue: "Uncle Cang said that everyone in the capital says that the third master will sooner or later become a subordinate of the uncle and will not be his opponent."

Chu Qianmian said lightly: "Is it the reason why he interfered with the Six Ministry in order to protect himself?" Suddenly he remembered: "Shangguan Guojiu's 40th birthday this year, it's too late to descend this little palace of the Empress."

"Everyone says that old clams have pearls." After Gengdou said that, his little face turned slightly red. Chu Qianmian was involved in this topic of giving birth, and his face turned slightly red.

Old Cangtou also inquired about other things, such as the ending of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Fan family after Chu Qianmian and the third wife left. Is the old lady so angry? What did Mrs. Hou go crazy again?

Gun Dou put down several pieces of broken silver: "Uncle Cang said that the girl gave him some money from the servants of the Fan family, and wanted to separate from the one who was walking in the small teahouse in the theater. He spent eight cents of silver, and this was the rest, and he returned it to the girl."

Chu Qianmian curled the corners of her mouth. Uncle Cang was the old man who was easy to use for his father, and he was reliable in his work and speaking.

He asked, "How is the old lady?"
