Original Collection

Just now Du Hengshuang said that he wanted to keep them for dinner, but when he arrived at Xiao Shiji's place, he actually wanted to drive them away!

Both Long Wenping and Cui's complexions were ugly.

Long Xiangye yelled with a full face of grievance, "Boss, your wife..."

Xiao Shiji interrupted her, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, Shuang'er is pregnant. Even if you don't like her, it's not for the sake of our two years of friendship, but also for the child in her belly." For the sake of our Xiao family's flesh and blood, let's take care of her more." After finishing speaking, he nodded to Long Wenping and Cui Shi, "When you two are going to leave the mansion, give me an order, and I will send someone to send you two out. Look In this case, the two of you will not be leaving the house before the curfew. —— I have something to do over there, excuse me." Saying this, she turned and strode away from the house.

When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I met Mrs. Yang who came back from the temple. [

Xiao Shiji greeted her respectfully, "Grandmother is back."

Yang looked at the sky and said with a smile: "It's getting late, have you had dinner yet? I brought some vegetarian food here, would you like to bring some to Shuang'er?"

Xiao Shiji knew that Du Hengshuang didn't eat food made outside now, but Yang's kindness was hard to resist, so he still said: "Grandmother only remembers Shuang'er, not me. ——I want to ask for some vegetarian food."

"No problem. I'm just worried about these vegetarian dishes. You men don't like to eat them. If you want to eat them, I'll send someone to deliver them to you." Yang Shi said, beckoning her little maid over, and ordered: "Take Send the vegetarian dishes brought back from the temple today to Lord Hou."

Xiao Shiji hurriedly said: "Just a part is enough. Great-grandmother should leave some for the old lady."

Knowing that she was talking about Long Xiangye, Yang pursed her lips and lowered her eyebrows with a smile, "Alright, I'll save some for her."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then left.

In Long Xiangye's warm pavilion, Long Wenping and Cui Shi looked at each other.I don't know what to do.

Mrs. Yang walked in, saw Long Wenping and Mrs. Cui here, smiled and said to Long Xiangye: "So you have guests, no wonder you don't want to go to Daxingshan Temple with me today. Let me tell you, today's Daxingshan The temple is very lively, a terrific troupe from the south of the Yangtze River has come to sing Buddhist operas in Daxingshan Temple, and it will take three days and three nights to sing. You, you really have no luck!"

Long Xiangye was taken aback.Doesn't it mean that one cannot watch operas and listen to music if one observes festivals?

Yang saw Long Xiangye's puzzled eyes.After thinking about it for a while, I understood what she meant, and explained to her with a smile, "... the play in front of the Buddha is sung for the Buddha. It is not a violation of the rules." That is to say, the play in the temple is played and sung People who observe festivals can also listen, which is different from ordinary people who call opera troupes in to listen to operas for fun.

Long Xiangye was deeply regretful.If she had known it earlier, she would have gone with the Yang family, so as not to be taken advantage of by Du Hengshuang here today, and be suffocated.There is still suffering that cannot be said!

Seeing this, Long Wenping stepped forward to salute Mrs. Yang, "I have seen Mrs. Yang."

Long Xiangye introduced to Yang Shi, "He is my natal brother, Huangshen. A real brother." He also pointed to Cui Shi, "She is my natal sister-in-law." After a pause, she said triumphantly: "It's a girl from Qinghe Cui's family. "

Yang was taken aback.The girl from the Cui family in Qinghe is the most honorable among the five surnamed girls.How could she marry Long Wenping, who is neither a nobleman nor an official, a merchant and a commoner family?

"May I ask if you are the first wife of the Cui family in Qinghe? Or the girl from the third bedroom?" Yang couldn't help asking.

Cui's face was a little red.She is not a concubine's daughter, but a concubine's daughter, besides, her mother's family had recently taken over Xiao Shiji's favor, so she was brought into the concubine's lineage by the eldest family, which is not the case at all.

Cui's father, that is, Long Shuzhi's grandfather, was also from a concubine, and it was from a maidservant in the side branch of Qinghe Cui's family who gave birth to Wufu.

Cui's own biological mother is also a concubine.She was born as a concubine, so she will marry Long Wenping, who is also a concubine. [

Their family is actually a concubine of the offshoot of the Cui family who gave birth to the five clothes, and they probably have little connection with the Qinghe Cui family, except that they both have the same surname "Cui".

Women with five surnames are noble, originally referring to prostitutes.The concubine daughters of the five surnames, and the concubine daughters of the side branches, are not so honorable.

When Yang asked this, he obviously regarded her as a prostitute.

The Cui family was very airy just now, but now she couldn't bear to say that she was a concubine, so she could only vaguely say: "My natal family is a side branch of the Qinghe Cui family..."

Mrs. Yang understood, so she stopped asking, and said with a smile: "You guys sit down, I'll order someone to heat up the vegetarian food, let's have dinner together."

Long Wenping hurriedly said: "Don't bother. We'll go home right away. We're all in Chang'an City. We just need to walk around more in the future. There's no rush."

Mrs. Yang didn't bother to stay, she nodded with a smile, and said to Long Xiangye: "It's your relative, please settle it well. I'll go clean up and talk to you at night."

Long Xiangye agreed and sent Mrs. Yang out.

After Long Xiangye came back, Cui said to Long Xiangye: "There is no other way, your wife is pregnant now. The pregnant woman is the biggest, no matter how reasonable you are, you have to give up three points in front of her belly. Don't quarrel with her in the future, didn't you see that Shiji's elbow is all bent to her side? How can he still see you as a mother?"

Long Xiangye was already suffocated today, but at this time, hearing Cui's words of building bridges and stoking the fire, she became even more angry, and said with a sneer, "Is it a big deal to be pregnant? With white eyebrows and red face, where did the child come from? How?" I went to Luoyang once? Huh, she just coaxed my son with cotton ears! Even if there is a child, I don’t know the surname Zhao and Qian! You care about that bastard, I don’t care! Who can’t raise children as a woman ? Just like your family Shuzhi, there is no adulteration at all!"

These words went back and forth in Long Xiangye's mind countless times, and she never dared to tell anyone.

Today, I was really annoyed that I said it unknowingly in front of Long Wenping and Cui Shi.

Long Wenping and Cui were stunned, looking at Long Xiangye, unable to say a word.

Long Xiangye also suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, as if she said something outrageous.

The room was suddenly quiet.

boom!

There was a movement under the lattice outside, as if someone had knocked over the broom. In the quiet room, the sound was particularly harsh.

"Who's outside?!" Cui rushed over and opened the lattice, but no one was seen.All I saw was a snow-white cat, which jumped off the courtyard wall and ran outside.

"It scared me to death, it turned out to be a cat." Cui patted her chest with her hand and closed the lattice.

As soon as she closed it, an eleven or twelve-year-old maid, with an ashen complexion, crawled out from under the door, and ran quickly along the corridor to the courtyard gate.He walked sideways through the half-open courtyard door and went to the main courtyard.

Inside the Nuan Pavilion, Long Wenping complained softly to Long Xiangye, "My eldest sister, how can you say such a thing? If you let Hou Ye know, I'm afraid it's my own mother who won't recognize her." Said that the child didn't know the surname Zhao and Qian , doesn't mean it's not Xiao Shiji's species...

No man can stand such a thing. [

Long Xiangye covered her mouth and stayed in a daze for a long time before she came back to her senses and said embarrassingly, "I was talking nonsense just now." Then she warned Long Wenping and Cui Shi, "Don't talk nonsense when you go out. Let me know Fengsheng, everyone's relatives should stop doing it... I don't recognize relatives like you."

"No...Of course not..." Long Wenping quickly assured.He went out to talk nonsense when he was full.Besides.He also knew something about going to Luoyang, and Xiao Shiji went with him, so how could it be that the child didn't belong to him?Big Sister is getting more and more confused...

Cui's eyes flickered.Looking at Long Wenping, and then at Long Xiangye, she always felt that the siblings were hiding something from her, so they endured it again and again.Only then did I plan to go back and ask Long Wenping what was going on.

Could it be the child in Du Hengshuang's belly?really have a problem?

Ah!This is interesting...

Long Wenping and Cui Shi left immediately.

After Yang's bath, she changed her clothes and came over to have dinner with Long Xiangye.

On the table were vegetarian dishes brought back from Daxingshan Temple, which tasted very good, but it was a pity that Long Xiangye had something on his mind and had no appetite at all.

On the way home, Mrs. Cui finally asked about this matter.

After listening to also feel language.

Not at all what she thought.

What she thought was similar to Long Wenping, that is, even though the Xiao family encountered bandits when they returned to Luoyang, with Xiao Shiji and the Xiao family's soldiers accompanying them, it is impossible for the female family members of the Xiao family to have any problems.If Xiao Shiji didn't go back with them, and Du Hengshuang met bandits, it would be interesting.

"Eldest sister is getting more and more confused. I heard from Shuzhi that she often loses things these days, and forgets what she just said when she turns around. Let me see, is she sick?" Cui asked Long Wenping tentatively.

Long Wenping was also a little puzzled, but he didn't want to say that his sister really had hysteria, and said displeasedly: "My elder sister is fine, why is she sick? Even if she is sick, she was made mad by that powerful daughter-in-law!"

Mrs. Cui smiled shyly, put the matter aside and waited for Xiao Taiji to come to her door, so that they could send a letter to Cui's family, asking them to send someone over to talk to Xiao Taiji.

In the main courtyard of Zhu Guohou's mansion, Du Hengshuang took care of the two children and Xiao Shiji having dinner, but he didn't have much appetite. He just drank a bowl of millet porridge and two pieces of rouge duck web, and then put it down. , took the maid to walk in the yard.

Zhishu came out from the wing room, and said to the little maid who was following Du Hengshuang: "Go and have dinner, I'll serve Madam."

The little maid bowed her knees to thank Zhishu, and hurried to have dinner.

Zhishu is now one of the best maids in Zhu Guohou's mansion, and even the chief stewards of the outer courtyard are polite to her, she has long since stopped doing these accompanying jobs.

Du Hengshuang saw that she sent the little maid away, so she knew that she had something to say, and asked with a smile: "What the hell are you doing with your hoof? Mysteriously, what's the big deal?"

Zhishu's face was very serious, and he leaned forward and said to Du Hengshuang: "Ma'am, just now Cai'er, the rough envoy of the Cining Courtyard, came over and said something to the servant girl. The servant girl thinks that the lady should listen to it personally. listen."

Du Hengshuang's heart skipped a beat, "In the Cining Courtyard?" It was Long Xiangye's courtyard.

In that yard, there has never been a pettiness addiction. The wealthy bride is too alluring.No matter how small it is, it will be a major event that will cause an uproar elsewhere.

Du Hengshuang really knew Long Xiangye's temperament very well.

"Then I have to listen." Du Hengshuang said indifferently, "Where is Cai'er?"

"In the servant's room." Zhishu hurriedly led the way, leading Du Hengshuang to the wing where she lived.

Knowing that she is a big maid, she didn't live in the back room like other maids, but lived in the southernmost suite in the east wing next to the hanging flower arch.

Cai'er was waiting in Zhishu's room.

Seeing Du Hengshuang walk in holding Zhishu's hand, Cai'er hurriedly bowed her head in salute.

Du Hengshuang sat down on the kang, looked Caier up and down, and asked first, "How old are you? How long have you been serving in the Court of Compassion and Ning? How did you get into the Hou's residence?"

Cai'er didn't dare to raise her head, she drooped her eyes and said in a low voice: "Returning to Madam, this maidservant is 12 years old, she was specially sent to the Compassionate Courtyard by Chief Steward Xiao in the twelfth lunar month of last year, and it was also Chief Steward Xiao who bought this servant from outside the residence After saying this, he raised his head to look at Du Hengshuang, and boldly said: "My servant's hometown suffered a disaster, my parents brought my servant to escape to the capital, and soon died of illness. At that time, my servant was only eight years old, and she became a beggar and lived on the streets , it was Manager Xiao who bought the servants back and taught the servants how to behave, and after several years of learning, they came to serve in the mansion."

Du Hengshuang frowned, "You were bought by Xiao Yi? Does Lord Hou know?"

Cai'er nodded, "Master Hou also knows." After a pause, he added, "The group of people who entered the inner courtyard in the twelfth lunar month of last year were all selected by Master Hou."

Du Hengshuang's brows suddenly relaxed, knowing that these people were originally arranged by Xiao Shiji, she immediately felt relieved.

"Sit down, don't stand and talk." Du Hengshuang pointed to Jin Wu who was opposite.

Cai'er saw that Zhishu was still standing beside Du Hengshuang, so she didn't dare to sit down, and said with a smile, "Your servant is comfortable standing, Madam, let your servant stand."

Du Hengshuang didn't insist, and nodded, "That's fine. Do you have anything to say?"

Cai'er uttered what Long Xiangye had heard in the Cining Court earlier.

She was very smart and obviously trained.When relaying Long Xiangye's words, there was no embellishment at all, just the original words.

Even if Du Hengshuang was mentally prepared, his face turned pale with anger at Long Xiangye's words, his stomach churned and he almost vomited.

Zhishu hurriedly brought a glass of water over, gave Du Hengshuang a drink, and comforted her by the side, comforting her: "Madam, don't take foolish words from foolish people, Madam."

Du Hengshuang drank the water, felt less uncomfortable, then sighed, and said, "Really... You said how much she must hate me. Susu said, the old lady hated me with her life. What am I going to do with her?" What kind of hatred is there? Even if you don’t like me, it’s not me who is ashamed to say this, but her son, her grandson, and the entire Zhu Guohou Mansion, and the Xiao family. Even herself, too You have no face to see people!"

Zhishu smiled wryly and shook her head: "If she wants to understand this, she won't deal with these moths."

Du Hengshuang lowered his head, thought carefully for a while, and said, "I can't let this matter go, I have to find a way to kill her thoughts."
