The Legitimate Younger Sister Insists on Marriage Exchange, Sending Me to Become a Marquis Wife – Chapter 373

第373章 侯爷和院正大人

秦鸢听着也觉得新鲜,就多问了几句。

顾六爷见状,就干脆隔着窗,吩咐了小厮,让他每天去国子监打探,又对秦鸢道:“就几句话的功夫,也省的沈长乐来跑。”

秦鸢道:“那也好,这件事我全都交给了沈长乐,没怎么过问。”

顾老夫人点头:“这样不错,问得多了,觉得主子不信任,问的少了,有的人奸猾会生事。这事老六挂了个名声,记挂着也是人之常情。”

说了好一会子话,顾侯爷还没有来。

秋菊已经暗示了容嬷嬷好几回,容嬷嬷看看时辰不早了,道:“小少爷只怕都饿了,不如现在摆饭?”

顾老夫人就道:“那就摆吧。”

秦鸢用过午膳后,径直回了梧桐苑,得知侯爷并未回来用膳,也未曾吩咐人回来传话,就问红叶:“出去打听打听,侯爷这是为了什么扰心?他难道出了府了?”

红叶出去转了一圈,回来道:“侯爷没出府,也未曾用午膳,听茶水房的人说,侯爷守在书房里,一步未出,也懒惰见人,推了好多下帖子来访的客人。”

秦鸢皱眉:“?”

红叶又悄声道:“我听说,今日那位跟着九公主来府里吃席的常小姐,递了帖子求见老夫人和侯爷。”

翠茗忙问:“当真?”

这几日针线房忙着赶顾六夫人后事要用东西,翠茗都急得上了火,上嘴唇都出了水泡。

红叶道:“门房的儿媳妇告诉我的,当然是真的。方才在上房,老夫人和容嬷嬷压根没提这件事,也不知道要不要见。”

翠茗恼道:“难道侯爷就是为了这个为难的饭都不吃了?这位常家的小姐是什么来头?”

原本蹙着眉头的秦鸢见状“噗嗤”一声笑了出来,展眉道:“你上什么火?这些事你别管了,常家和顾家以前是定过亲事的,常小姐的姐姐后来没了,侯爷去了塞北,常家也离了京城,看常家的意思是想恢复走动。”

红叶就道:“就是呀,你只管带着那几个婆子缝你的衣裳去,熬的眼睛这么红,咱们还能管得着侯府和谁来往和谁不来往么?侯爷也不会为了这个难过,肯定有别的,等会儿我再问问十六。”

翠茗就下去歇着了。

红叶对秦鸢道:“这一天天的就没个消停的日子,六夫人这边的事情一大堆,忙忙乱乱的,我把十几年前的账本子都翻出来了,才找着旧例,好照葫芦画瓢。”

秦鸢抚了抚红叶消瘦的脸,道:“这要不是你们两个在我身边帮衬,我只怕是要忙昏了,你先理出来再说……六爷身上没功名,六夫人自然也没诰命,丧事的规制还要再斟酌斟酌……这十几年都过去了,侯府的交际往来已今非昔比,单子还要老夫人和侯爷看过之后才能定下来。”

红叶笑道:“这不是我都能撑起来么,我只怕我撑不起来,让别的伶俐人比下去了。”

秦鸢又好气又好笑地戳了红叶一下,半真半假地道:“既然你这么怕,我就把红棉和墨竹都拨给你,她们再厉害,也得听你调遣。这样行了吧。”

红叶喜出望外:“真的?”

“嗯,比珍珠还真。”

红叶笑道:“那我一定能撑起来,小姐只管把这件事交给我。”

秦鸢道:“行,晚些我就把账房和内院的管家定下来,府里的事情就可以交出去大半,不然光和女眷们来往就要累死人了,那里还有心思做别的。”

顾侯爷立下大功回朝,又得皇上重用,必然会有许多人前来吊丧,顾老夫人年纪大撑不了多久,她光是陪客就不得闲,至于顾宝珠……能好好带着侄儿侄女们不生事就是好的。

红叶叹道:“小姐的身子骨柔弱,可要小心些,不要累着了,不如求相熟的族人帮忙支撑几日,或者轮着迎客,这样也好些。”

秦鸢道:“再说吧,到时我和老夫人说说,成嫂子肯定要来帮忙的,和定北侯府走动近的几家也能请来搭把手,但大面上还得是我来。”

顾六爷派了人去国子监打听,又催着曹管家去衙门,逼着推官给他一个交代。

没多久,顾宝珠又出了门。

秦鸢知晓后,只微微点头,不置一词。

顾六夫人也就这几日了,她忙得不行,也顾不上管小姑子,正如顾宝珠说得,关了几个月禁闭,总要出去说说话才好。

府里接下来又要办丧事,顾宝珠怎么也要在家里老实呆些日子。

倒是红叶嘀咕:“七小姐也不知避讳些,府里这么忙,她只顾着出门逛,跟没事人似的,虽然帮不上忙,但总要做做样子。以前不是和六夫人最好么?人还没走茶就凉了。”

秦鸢瞪了她一眼,瞧瞧身边无人,轻叱道:“我看你还不算忙,你若是忙得脚后跟打后脑勺,也没空在这里说嘴了,我真巴不得她不来我这里,本来事就多,她来了就更乱了。她也就这几天能在外面跑动跑动,若是侥幸躲过了乞巧节还好些,若不然,侯爷较真起来,只怕真要窝在府里过完上元节了。”

红叶呆了一呆,也明白过来。

乞巧节也在这几天,若是六夫人在乞巧节前不好了,顾宝珠自然不用再去乞巧大会上比拼绣艺。

若不然,顾宝珠还得去乞巧大会上出丑。

顾侯爷要认真罚起来,顾宝珠上元节前就不用出门了。

红叶还想说话,外面有小丫鬟喊她,“红叶姐姐,二门那边有人找你。”

红叶拍手道:“应当是有了侯爷那边的消息,我过去听听。”

秦鸢道:“去罢。”

红叶匆匆跑出了议事的院子,差点儿撞上来禀事的管事妈妈。

不一会儿,又跑了回来,还没说话,就被秦鸢吩咐:“费妈妈要领更换轿帘的料子和银钱,等你发对牌呢,你快快签了,让她去忙。”

红叶只好按下到了嘴边的话,问费妈妈要了单子来细细验看,算过数量差不离,这才发了对牌,又当面做了登记,画了押。

等屋子里又没了旁人,红叶赶忙道:“小姐,侯爷让人喊了院正大人问话,还诊了病。”

嫡妹非要换亲,送我当上侯夫人
Author:

After being reborn, Qin Yuan discovers that her legitimate younger sister has also been reborn. Not only did her sister steal her husband from her previous life, the impoverished Juren, but she also insists on marrying her off to the Duke of Dingbei, her previous life’s brother-in-law. Although she is puzzled about why her younger sister behaves this way, one must seize a windfall when it falls from the sky!!! In her previous life, her younger sister envied her: “Qin Yuan could only pick what I discarded since childhood. Why is she now the Prime Minister's wife, enjoying honor and prestige while I am rejected by my husband and oppressed by a concubine, living a lonely life?” In this life, her younger sister is despairing: “Why is Qin Yuan doing even better?! Where did my Prime Minister's wife go? Why is my husband still a low-ranking official? Besides the difficult mother-in-law, there’s also a childhood friend cousin watching closely!” Qin Yuan laughs: “This forced title of Duchess handed to me is quite enjoyable. Tsk tsk… I can do business, excel in medicine, and possess strategies both in mind and stomach. In my previous life, this Prime Minister's wife was all planned by me, naïve little sister.” In her past life, her husband was firmly locked with her younger sister, so in this life, she won’t have to exert effort climbing up with him; isn’t it better to achieve success on her own? — The Duke of Dingbei, who married late to defend the border, becomes a god of war in uniform, and when he shaves his beard, he turns into a handsome young man, with countless women yearning for him. On their wedding night, he left his young wife, thinking he could just coax her. Later… he discovers that she doesn’t care at all and has been playing him. Daily life in the Duke’s residence: The Duke of Dingbei kneels at the door: “I know my wife has me in her heart, please give me another chance.” After a long pause, Qin Yuan replies: “Depends on my mood.” Others: Tsk tsk, the Duke is indeed the lady’s devoted dog, a professional.
