After Sui Zhan left his uncle's house, he hurried back home in the carriage.
As soon as he entered the house, Sui Zhan shouted loudly: "Sui San, where is Sui San?"
Sui San is the housekeeper of Zhongyong Hou Mansion. He is the eldest brother of one of Sui Zhan's favorite concubines. The old housekeeper who used to serve the old man in the house has been dismissed by Sui Zhan and given a few hundred taels of silver.
, sent him back to the countryside to retire.
Not long after, Sui San rushed out and gasped: "Master, you... why are you back..."
Sui Zhan asked back: "What do you mean, I came back early and am I in your way?"
"No, no, sir, don't get me wrong. What I mean is, sir, why didn't you play with the young gentlemen for a while?" Sui Sandui said with a smile.
Sui Zhan said: "Why are you playing? I am not in the mood to play now. I have important things to do!"
"A big deal?" Sui San was stunned and said hurriedly: "Master, have you found the right person to treat that kid?"
Sui San thought that Sui Zhan went out early in the morning to find someone to deal with Chai Yan in order to avenge yesterday.
"Nonsense! Who are you looking for?" Sui Zhan said: "That kid can defeat the masters of Piz Country, can ordinary characters be his opponent?"
Sui San nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, that's what the master said."
"Okay, I will take revenge on that boy Chai Yan sooner or later, but right now I have very important things to do!" Sui Zhan said seriously.
Sui San hurriedly asked: "Master, what's going on?"
"Go to the back and ask Yanzhi to call out all the girls. I have something to announce!" Sui Zhan ordered.
Sui San was very curious about what was going on, but he couldn't ask now, so he had to go and inform someone behind the scenes.
After a while, Sui San arrived outside the inner courtyard gate.
Sui San called the maid in the courtyard and said, "Call my sister out quickly. It's urgent."
The maid agreed and trotted off to call for someone.
After waiting for a long time, Yanzhi walked out of the courtyard with her waist twisted. When she saw Sui San, she asked: "Brother, why did you call me out so early in the morning?"
Yanzhi's real name is Wu Guihua, and she is Sui San's biological sister. Their family was very poor, and Wu Guihua was later sold to a brothel. Unexpectedly, she was lucky. Not long after she entered the brothel, she was attracted by Sui Zhan. Later, Wu Guihua was also arrested.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, she tried her best to please Sui Zhan, and finally got the title of concubine and was very favored by Sui Zhan.
A few months later, Wu Guihua also got her eldest brother into the Hou Mansion by virtue of her good pillow skills, and changed her name to Sui San and became the housekeeper of Zhongyong Hou Mansion.
Sui San said: "Sister, the master just came back and asked you to gather the people in the backyard and go to the front. The master has something to announce."
"Something's wrong? What's the matter?" Yanzhi asked.
Sui San shook his head: "I don't know. He seems to be in a hurry. I don't have much time to ask."
Rouge guessed: "It must have something to do with what happened yesterday."
"Okay, don't make blind guesses. Hurry up and call everyone to the front hall. The master is still waiting." Sui San urged.
After saying that, Sui San returned to the front hall.
At this time, Sui Zhan was drinking tea in the front hall. His slightly lowered head and furrowed brows told others that he was thinking about something.
Sui San didn't dare to disturb him, so he walked over quietly and waited quietly aside.
After a long time, Sui Zhan put down the teacup and called out: "Sui San, I have something to do for me later."
"Master, please give me your orders." Sui San bowed and said.
Sui Zhan asked: "You should know where my outhouses live, right?"
Sui San nodded immediately and said: "I understand, sir, one is in Liuye Hutong, one is in Changya Street, and the other one is in..."
"...Okay, okay, don't count them one by one, just know them all!" Sui Zhan didn't have the patience to listen anymore.
After a pause, Sui Zhan said: "In a while, you go and pay some silver taels to the account and send them to my outer rooms... In this way, two hundred taels per person, tell them that I will not go there in the future, call
They can live well by themselves and stop bothering me."
Sui San was very surprised. After thinking about it for a while, he finally couldn't hold it back and asked: "Master, did something happen?"
"How should I put it? That's right..." Sui Zhan nodded and suddenly laughed: "Because I am going to get married soon, so those outhouses must be cleaned up as soon as possible, otherwise it will be ruined."
People gossip."
Sui Zhan had actually wanted to break up with those outer chambers for a long time, but he had never found the opportunity. Now he had an excuse and an opportunity.
Sui San was shocked: "Marry a wife?"
At this moment, Sui San thought of his sister Wu Guihua, and thought to himself: Could it be that the master wants to straighten his sister and make her become the Marquis's wife?
But when I thought about it again, I realized that I was fanciful. With my sister's background in a brothel, how could she become the wife of a marquis? The title of a concubine in the marquis's house was already smoking in the ancestral grave!
If you want to be the wife of Marquis Zhongyong, you must at least be a well-matched lady!
Thinking of this, Sui San also understood what the master wanted to announce by summoning the concubine from the backyard.
"Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir..." Sui San said a few auspicious words first, and then asked in a low voice: "Sir, whose lady is she so lucky?"
Sui San's words made Sui Zhan feel comfortable, and he opened his mouth to say the name "Jimo Qiao".
But at the last moment, Sui Zhan still held back and just said: "Now is not the time, I will tell you later."
Sui San didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only stand aside and wait patiently.
After waiting for almost half a stick of incense, the concubines came to the front hall one after another to gather. Because each concubine brought their own maid, the front hall was suddenly overcrowded, and everywhere was colorful and blooming.
Women would chatter when crowded together, and the front hall suddenly became lively.
"Quiet!" Sui Zhan shouted.
Yanzhi also said hurriedly: "Sisters, please be quiet, please be quiet..."
Under Rouge's restraint, the hall immediately became quiet.
Yanzhi then said: "Master, I heard that you have something to announce. What is it?"
Sui Zhan glanced at Yanzhi and announced to everyone: "You will all go back to your house to pack your things in a while. We will leave the city by car tomorrow morning and go to live in my village outside the city!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Sui San and Yan Zhi, looked confused. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. For a moment, they couldn't understand what happened and why the Marquis suddenly made this decision.
.
Rouge was still calm and hurriedly asked everyone to calm down and asked: "Master, has something happened? Why are we suddenly asked to move to a village outside the city?"
"Yes, sir, why?"
"Master Hou, isn't this a nice place to live? What's wrong?"
As soon as Yanzhi's question came out, the rest of the people also started asking questions, and the front hall soon became noisy and noisy.
Sui Zhan suddenly felt noisy, got angry, and said loudly: "Shut up! I support you, let you live wherever you want, let alone the village outside the city, I just let you live in stables and pigs
Circle, you have to go too! Go, go, go back to your houses quickly, pack your things and wait to leave the city!"
Although the Yingying Yanyans all closed their mouths at this time, the expressions on their faces were the same, they were all sad and disappointed.
"Okay, okay, everyone, go back to the house, pack your things quickly, and be obedient..."
Yanzhi knew Sui Zhan's temper best, so he quickly persuaded the concubines to disperse and let them return to the inner courtyard first.
Soon, only brother and sister Sui Zhan and Yanzhi were left in the front hall.
Seeing that her brother hadn't left, Yanzhi gave him a wink. Sui San received the wink, thought about it and said: "Master, that little man will leave first and go do the errands you asked him to do."
Sui Zhan waved his hand casually and asked Sui San to leave.
After Sui San left, Yanzhi changed her aggrieved look and said leisurely: "Master, what are you doing?"
Sui Zhan glanced at Rouge and said seriously: "Why not, I have my own plan!"
Yanzhi said even more aggrievedly: "Master, if you think us women are noisy and annoying, we don't have to disturb you in the future. Why do you have to let us all move outside the city?"
After saying that, Yanzhi sat on the chair farthest from Sui Zhan in the hall and began to feel sad.
Sui Zhan felt sorry for Yanzhi and said: "Rangzhi, it's not what you think. Why should I bother you? It's because of other things."
Yanzhi said nothing and turned his head away silently.
Sui Zhan had no choice but to say: "Forget it, let me tell you, in fact, I plan to get a wife!"
"What? Get a wife!" Yanzhi was shocked, and her face suddenly froze.
