The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 163 It's a dirty trick, I don't like it
Chapter 163 It's a dirty trick, I don't like it
"Yun Xi, is this gift really for me?" Aunt Li Yushi couldn't help asking, her tone a little unbelievable.
Yun Xi couldn't help laughing, "Of course it's for you. Grandma gave everyone a good share of the gifts she gave to everyone. Auntie, you took great care of my mother when you were not married, and grandma knew about it, that's why I gave it to everyone." Thinking about giving some thank you gifts." In fact, she got the most of all.Li Yushi had a lot of dowry back then.When she was divorced, her mother-in-law treated her more affectionately than her son, and deeply felt that her son was sorry for her, and even subsidized her a lot in private.Plus her gains over the years... the property under her name is not even less than the Yu family's property.
It's just that the Yu family obviously didn't know about it, otherwise her careless and calculating sister-in-law would definitely have her mind on her property.
Mrs. Yu's daughter, Yu Qingran, passed away, and what she missed most in the world was Yun Xi, her granddaughter, so this time, she sent a lot of things in the name of New Year's gift.What Yun Xi received was not only a title deed for a thousand acres of land, but also a set of gold noodles, silver noodles, pearl noodles, and ruby noodles.These add up to at least 2 taels.
Among all the people, Yun Xi received the heaviest gift, which everyone could understand.
As for the rest of the Du family, they also received presents. Yunyao and Yunxia both had a set of silver jewelry on their heads.Du Yifu and his wife received hundreds of acres of land.Because Li Yushi took good care of Yu Qingran back then, Mrs. Yu also gave Li Yushi 1000 taels of silver, plus a box of jewelry.
Li Yushi had never seen 1000 taels of silver, and the stuffed golden and silver hairpins, so he rushed to look for Yun Xi.
Li Yushi sighed, "I still think it's too precious."
Yun Xi smiled, "Grandma has given away everything, so naturally there is no reason to take it back." She paused and said, "Besides, when Duo Duo gets married in the future, you will definitely have to buy her a dowry , These also need silver.”
Li Yushi thinks about it the same way, she is already very grateful to Yun Xi for taking in their grandparents and grandchildren, so why would she want to give Yun Xi a dowry.At most, it's just a decent gift when you add makeup.
1000 taels of silver and this jewelry are enough for Duo Duo as a dowry.After all, Li Yu didn't expect her granddaughter to marry into such a wealthy family.
Li Yushi was persuaded by Yun Xi so much, and happily accepted the gift.
Then when she went out of the room, she happened to meet Mrs. Du Zhang who brought her two grandsons to the ancestral hall to worship her ancestors.
It can be said that Li Yushi and Du Zhangshi dislike each other.Li Yushi often scolded Du Zhangshi behind his back several times after he knew that Du Zhangshi treated Qingran badly and thought about sending Yun Xi to a nunnery.As for Mrs. Du, it was pure envy, jealousy, jealousy that Mrs. Li could live with Dafang, and that Yunxi treated her so well.
In comparison, treating her as a grandma was lukewarm.
Du Zhangshi smiled and said: "It's almost Chinese New Year, you don't need to go home."
It means, why is Li Yushi still staying here?
Li Yushi supported the hairpin on his head, and turned against the general in a small way, "Yun Xi let us live first, and she is not at ease when she says that we two weak girls are over there."
Mrs. Du was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If it wasn't for Mrs. Hong, she would still be Yun Xi's grandma.Especially after knowing that Yunxi has become the county lord and will be the wife of the Duke in the future, Du Zhang's guts are going to regret it.
Even if Yun Xi is promising again, it has nothing to do with her.The only consolation for her is that the relationship between Dafang and her has eased a lot over the past year. She is now living in the big house that Dafang built in Yanghe Village, and she is paid two taels of silver for one blessing every month. , and usually send some rice grains and meat, and her life is second to none in the village.
She could only comfort herself, she should be content.
Du Zhoushi happened to come over, seeing this scene, he secretly smiled.She thought it would be good for someone to suppress her mother-in-law.Du Zhoushi has no objection to Li Yushi and Dodo living at home.Li Yushi often teaches the maids at home to pinch flowers, put on shoe soles, etc., and he is very easy-going and easy to get along with.She has more people to talk to at home, and there is nothing wrong with it.
She stepped forward and said to Mrs. Du, "Mother, let's go to the ancestral hall."
Du Yilian didn't come over this year, and Du Zhou guessed that he probably didn't come because their eldest family had a better life and didn't want to be stimulated.Occasionally, people from the village would come and walk around, so she knew more or less about Du Yilian's current situation.
The life between him and Widow Chen was not good.Du Yilian, whose reputation is completely rotten, can only do odd jobs every day to support himself and Widow Chen.Widow Chen saw that he was really useless and she was unwilling to be lonely, so she hooked up with the men in the village and started a skin business.
Du Yilian actually endured the green hat on his head because of the money she brought back to support the child.
Mrs. Du and Zhang don't allow the two of them to come to the house at all now - they think it's dirty and embarrassing to the Du family, and they just live with their two grandchildren on weekdays.Because they lived with Du Zhangshi, Du Yong and Du Qiang were raised fat and white, and they are still wearing new clothes today.
Seeing that the two of them seem to have improved in conversation, Yun Xi found out that both of them had also entered school after asking.After thinking about it, she took out four knives of paper, two inkstones, two pieces of ink, added a few more pens, and gave them directly.I just hope that the two of them will read more books so that they can know what is right and what is wrong.
Du Yong was older, so he and his younger brother Du Qiang accepted Yun Xi's gift and thanked Yun Xi.
This year without Du Yilian coming to the door, and Du Zhang's family is still safe, Yun Xi didn't knock down the god tablet this time.
Facing the tablet, Du Yifu babbled about the happy events of the year, such as Du Zhou's giving birth to twins Du Lei and Du Rui.The twins have already begun to speak some simple words. The two Doudings are now at the age when they are most interested in walking. They don't need to be hugged. One hugs Yunyao's leg and the other hugs Yunxi's leg. They are all wearing the same style of clothes, not to mention how pleasing they are.When the two little bean dings heard their names, they gave a curious snort, as if they were wondering why they were called.
Du Rui even said, "Rui Rui, here!"
Yun Xi chuckled, and couldn't help pinching the cute little dimple on his right.
Du Yifu was a little speechless, and continued to talk about the happy events that happened this year.For example, Yun Xi was first canonized as the county lord, then became the county lord, and forged a good marriage.Because of Yun Shen's good performance, Du Yifu also said a few good things about Yun Shen in front of his ancestors.
And Yunxia, who was married, also gave birth to a son smoothly, and her life became prosperous.
After such a detailed count, Du Yifu found that he really had no regrets.Just wait a few years to help the youngest daughter Yunyao find a good marriage, that's all.After speaking, his tone choked up, this is all the blessing of the ancestors.
Yun Xi felt that it was better to trust her than to trust her ancestors.Obviously it's her fault, okay?
To everyone's relief, this year's worship can be said to be smooth, and there will no longer be such a thing as "the ancestors of the Du family will show their spirits and punish their unfilial children and grandchildren".
After leaving the ancestral hall, everyone exchanged glances and couldn't help laughing.
After worshiping the ancestors, they gathered together from top to bottom to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.
The New Year's benefits for the servants of the Du family are also very good. In addition to an extra set of new clothes and an extra red envelope of one month's wages, from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they will have the same meat dishes for every meal.
Yun Xi deliberately took out the peach blossom wine she brewed last year. She remembered that Yun Shen praised him for the delicious wine.At that time, she still kept an jar, and she wanted to keep it longer, but today is a happy day, so she simply took it out.
As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma made everyone who smelled it couldn't help but look forward to it.
Yun Xi poured a glass into everyone's wine glasses, feeling a little regretful in her heart: she felt that the glass wine glasses in her previous life were more suitable for drinking peach blossom wine.
The color of this peach blossom wine is as delicate and beautiful as the petals of peach blossoms. Swaying the wine glass gently, it seems that the wine is filled with the gorgeous color of peach blossoms in the whole spring.
Yun Xi took a sip lightly, and on the next side, that delicate face was almost wrinkled into a ball.
very sour!It's sour and astringent, it's too bad to drink.
She silently put down the glass and decided not to touch the wine.Who would have thought that this wine smells so good but tastes so hard to drink.
After tasting, the others also put down their wine glasses.Everyone was giving Yunxi some face, those who put in vegetables, those who fed the children fed the children, and those who talked, everyone tacitly ignored the jar of wine.
Well, although it doesn't taste good, it does smell mellow enough.In a sense, Yunxi Wine Brewing is indeed very powerful.
Yun Xi suddenly recalled that when Yun Shen came back, she couldn't wait to buy him a drink. Yun Shen only said that the wine was delicious, and drank a whole jar.
Thinking of this, there was nothing she didn't understand. I was afraid that Yun Shen couldn't bear to hurt her heart, so he tricked her into saying that it was delicious.
A person's true heart doesn't need to look at how many sweet words he usually says, but only needs to look at his actions.
At least in a different place, it is really difficult for Yun Xi to drink the whole pot and still say it is delicious against his conscience.
She pursed her lips, feeling a little annoyed, and she developed a fighting spirit again: When the peach blossoms are in full bloom this year, she must make another peach blossom wine. After making it this time, she must taste it by herself first, and she must not make trouble again. Make a joke like today.
I don't know how long Yun Shen will stay in the capital this time.Compared with the turbulent capital, a small place like Fenghuang County can simply enjoy the joy of the New Year.
……
After returning from the New Year's banquet in the palace, Yun Shen didn't change the prince's court clothes, but sat in front of the window and looked at the plum blossoms in front of him.
This courtyard was where his mother, Meng Zhiyun, lived. Since her death, it has been sealed off.It was not until Yunshen came back last year that he lived in again.Those who serve inside are all chosen by him.
Yun Shen has been away for so many years, and he is not used to letting strangers wait on him, so there are only two guards left in the yard, and two maidservants who are responsible for sweeping the floor.The current Duke and Duchess Yun Cao wanted to stuff people into it, but unfortunately she was deprived again of the housekeeper rights that she had so easily obtained because of the real and fake sons.
The concubine Yang, who was specially rewarded by the emperor before, is very clear about her position in the mansion, that is to suppress Yun Cao and help the eldest son Yun Shen.She is a gift from the emperor, and Yun Shen's position is stable, so even if he does not have a son and a half daughter, after Yun Shen inherits the Duke's Mansion in the future, he will definitely take care of her well.Therefore, in the entire Duke's Mansion, she is the one who sincerely helps Yun Shen. After all, their interests are shared.
When Yun Cao wanted to send two beautiful maids to Yun Shen's side, she changed hands and sent them directly to Yun Cao's precious son, saying that she was deliberately burying a nail.
Yun Mu is not a fool either, he can't see his wife's plan, and directly prolongs her time in the small Buddhist hall.
When Yun Shen came back this time, he had never seen Mrs. Yun Cao appearing at the banquet even during the Chinese New Year.Yun Shen knew that this was what Yun Mu meant by wanting to mend the relationship with him.Knowing that his son had experienced disfigurement, disability, and wandering outside, he seemed to be inspired by the so-called fatherly love and guilt.
It's just that Yun Shen didn't buy it. He used to yearn for fatherly love, but all he got was disappointment and despair again and again.It's just that now he no longer needs his hypocrisy.
On the contrary, Yun Cao's sons and daughters didn't know if they heard what the people around them said, and felt that their mother was killed by him, so they kept staring at him with hatred, and were reprimanded by Yun Mu for this.
Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps, Yun Shen came back to his senses, and saw a maid in pink with a food box in her hand, swaying gracefully as she walked.The cold spring was steep, and the clothes on her body seemed a lot thinner compared to the temperature.
Yun Shen's indifferent eyes fell on her face, and his brows furrowed even deeper. Looking closely at the maid's facial features, they were somewhat familiar.
The servant girl's eyes fell on Yun Shen's face that seemed to have descended from the sky, her face blushed slightly, and she whispered softly: "My lord, the second lady asked me to bring some hangover soup."
The second wife she mentioned was Yang Shi.
However, Yun Shen smelled the very faint scent of warmth on her body, and his face completely sank.
He sneered, looking at the servant girl with cold murderous intent, "Mo Yan."
His guard, Mo Yan, appeared in front of him with a whoosh.
Yun Shen said: "Bring this woman to Mrs. Yang, and send her soup to be inspected carefully to see what is added in it."
The servant girl didn't expect that such a thing would happen to her before she even entered the house, so she hurriedly knelt down, with tears in her eyes, "My lord, I don't know what you're talking about."
Before she had time to show her ability to cry, she was dragged away by Mo Yan, and the food box in her hand was also taken away for investigation.
Yun Shen directly said to the maid guarding the gate: "No matter who it is next time, it is not allowed to step into this courtyard without my order."
The servant girl nodded and asked again: "Is the master the same?"
Yun Shen didn't hesitate at all, but the temperature in his voice dropped, "He did the same."
If his mother knew, she probably didn't want this man to step into the courtyard where she lived. She didn't even want to see him for the last time before she died.
……
About half an hour later, Mo Yan came back.
He stated without any ups and downs: "The servant girl's name is Yun'er, and she used to serve in the courtyard of the eldest lady. Yang never asked her to bring hangover soup. Doctor Tang checked it, and added a kind of soup after eating it. Drugs that cause hallucinations."
Yun Shen's tone was cold, "That maid still has a warm scent on her body."
What's more, this maid named Yun'er has somewhat similar facial features to Yun Xi's, so she was obviously found deliberately, and even her name was deliberately chosen as Yun.Thinking of this, the murderous aura on Yun Shen's body almost solidified.
Mo Yan nodded, and added: "The maid named Yun'er was sent by the Cao family. I'm afraid the Cao family deliberately looked for it according to Miss Du's appearance." It must not be easy to find someone who is exactly the same, but It is not difficult to find people who are one or two points similar, and with a little effort in makeup, there will be three points of similarity.
Coupled with the warm fragrance on her body and the ingredients in the soup, it is obvious that Yun Xi wants to make this maid and Yun Shen a fait accompli, so that she will be disgusted by Yun Xi in the future.It would be even more troublesome if this Yun'er was given some kind of medicine to help her conceive and become a man in one fell swoop.
On the one hand, it can be regarded as burying someone beside Yun Shen.
If the will is a little weak, or if you are not cautious enough, you may be tricked.
Thinking of this, the disgust in Yun Shen's heart deepened, he glanced at Mo Yan, "How did Mrs. Yang deal with her?"
Mo Yan said calmly: "I hit [-] big boards in front of everyone, and sent them directly back to the Cao family." Anyone with a discerning eye can see that without the help of the Cao family, what would happen to the Yun Cao family who has been in confinement since last year? Can find this maid who is somewhat similar to Du Yunxi.
Yun Shen lowered his eyes and remained silent, before speaking after a while: "Find an opportunity to ruin that Yun'er's appearance." If he wanted to use that appearance to make trouble, he would naturally not forgive him easily.
Mo Yan nodded to express his understanding, as if he remembered something, a faint smile appeared on his face, "Mo Yang has successfully mixed into the Blood Plum Sect."
Yun Shen had ordered Mo Yang to act like this long ago, but he did not expect it to be so soon.Mo Yang and Mo Yan are brothers, both of them were picked up from mass graves in the past by him, so they can be called confidantes in his confidantes.Even Yun Shen, who thought he was cold-hearted and cold-hearted, cared a little bit about them, "It went so smoothly, wouldn't it be inviting you into the urn?"
After Yun Xi was chased and killed, Yun Shen has been brooding over this incident, trying to find out who was behind the scenes.But the Xuemeimen's location is mysterious and remote. Even though he had people follow several people, he failed to enter it after all.It wasn't until recently that the Blood Plum Sect started to recruit personnel, which gave him a chance to infiltrate.
Mo Yan shook his head, "No, it may be because the Blood Plum Sect suffered a lot of losses due to being chased and killed all over the past year, and some of the killers cultivated before were murdered by others, and they died before they became famous. That’s why they lowered the barrier to entry.”
There was an undisguised joy in his tone, and a cold and hateful smile reflected in his eyes.
Yun Shen thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing.On the contrary, it was thanks to Yun Xi's blessing.Yun Xi didn't know how to get the blood plum at the time, so she kept the blood plum well, kept a part for herself, and gave the rest to him.
When the members of Yunshen's sect set out on missions, they simply deliberately imitated the style of the Blood Plum Sect, silenced them and left the Blood Plum Blossoms behind.Naturally, these cases were successfully blamed on Xuemeimen.Even if the head of the Blood Plum Sect repeatedly explained, it was useless.After all, everyone knows that this blood plum blossom is only available in their organization.
Because of the many bloody cases, including some who had cooperated with the Blood Plum Sect in the past, the current situation of the Blood Plum Sect can be described as precarious.Even if someone thinks that the Blood Plum Sect was framed, they can only use the Blood Plum Sect as an object of anger if they cannot find the mastermind behind it.
Yun Shen didn't feel that his behavior was wrong at all.He killed people who deserved to be killed.
He looked into the distance, as if he was waiting, waiting for the day when he got the result.
After an unknown amount of time, a maid named Fang hurried over, with anger in her eyes.
One side was also a poor servant girl left behind in Yun Shen's yard. She walked up to Yun Shen, saluted, and then said, "Master, Yun'er admits that she was already the master's servant half a month ago. people."
Yun Shen was as black as ink, and when he pinched it with his hand, he crushed a piece of jade pendant with his bare hands.
The jade pendant worth several thousand taels turned into powder, but he seemed to be unconscious, with undisguised hostility and anger surging from the corners of his eyes and brows.
It turns out that the real killer move of the Cao family is here.Raping his father's concubine, if this matter is carried out, Yun Shen's reputation will be completely ruined.Even if Chu Xiyuan dotes on him again, in this case, he may not be able to protect his position.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was naturally beautiful when he smiled, but for some reason, it made the viewers feel terrified.
"I remember that Cao Chengyin is inhumane, right?"
Mo Yan nodded, slandering in his heart: Isn't it the young master who attacked Cao Chengyin at that time?Speaking of which, his master is the same as Nadu county master. One threw Mr. Cao to the pile of beggars, and the other directly made him a eunuch. The degree of cruelty is simply a natural match.
Yun Shen said: "Since this is the case, it is indeed pitiful for Mr. Cao's concubine to stay alone in the vacant room. Why not give it to his father, Lord Cao, as a gift to him as a child."
His tone was full of sarcasm, "Maybe this Marquis Cao can give birth to another descendant who will inherit the Cao family." After all, Cao Chengyin is already a useless person.
So under Yun Shen's arrangement, the story of Empress Cao's younger brother, Cao Le, and his son's two concubines being caught by Mrs. Cao was revealed, and spread all over the streets overnight. lane.
Some people even wrote the so-called small yellow books, which described the details vividly. The sales volume in the capital was not so good, and more than 1000 copies were sold in one day.
The Cao family was so angry that they vomited blood, but they searched for a long time, but they couldn't find the person who wrote the little yellow book.
Even the matter of the Cao family spread to the imperial court, and the imperial envoy naturally impeached the Cao family directly.
In the end, the positions of the Cao family were basically turned into blank slates, and they became people with the title of Master Hou.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the deposed prince has no hope of inheriting the throne.Everyone is naturally desperate to add insult to injury.
After dealing with the messy matter of the Cao family, Chu Xiyuan recruited Yun Shen into the palace, and what they were discussing was the marriage between Yun Shen and Yun Xi.
Because of the sword Yun Shen sent to Yun Xi, even though Chu Xiyuan had never met Yun Xi, he had a very high affection for her.
Coupled with the fact that Yun Xi is still Yun Shen's favorite person, Ai Wu and Wu Xia... are more pleasing to the eye.
"Qin Tianjian has already calculated the appropriate time for the wedding and marriage. You can choose whichever day you like." He paused and said, "But when you get married, you must return to the capital Yes. I plan to be your officiant."
Let the emperor be the officiant, this wedding is enough to have face.
Yun Shen looked at the date marked on the paper, and the corner of his mouth curled up. The small fixed time selected by Qin Tianjian was basically from April to June this year, and the direct marriage would be next year.Perhaps it was time to prepare the dowry for the bride.
Under normal circumstances, it also refers to those who get married within one to three years after marriage.
He put the paper back into his sleeve and said, "I'll discuss it with Yun Xi when I get back." He's not the kind of person who would set the time on his own initiative.
Chu Xiyuan had already started to think about what would be more appropriate to reward at that time.
……
Yun Xi, who was far away in Fenghuang County, didn't know that her fiancé had tricked her enemy again.
At this time, she was bored watching Yiyi tearing goodbye on the stage.This troupe is said to be the best in Chuzhou, and the singing is really melodious and full of true feelings, but it's a pity that Yun Xi couldn't appreciate it.No matter how good the singing is, with the boring and disgusting plot, it is really hard to swallow.
This play is quite famous in Chuzhou recently, and it tells the story of changing children.A nanny, in order to let her son live a good life, in a moment of greed, she exchanged the master's young master with a child of a similar age to her own, and the fate of the two changed from then on.
The nanny's child is also a false young master, well-clothed and well-fed, and taught by a famous teacher invited by his father since he was a child. Naturally, he is both civil and military, and is the dream lover of many women.The real young master was raised and became a so-called local hooligan.
Then the false young master and the real young master fell in love with the same kind and beautiful girl, but the girl fell in love with the false young master.In the process of fighting for the girl, the truth is exposed.
It's just the real young master's biological father, but he prefers the false young master who is taught to be educated, even if he knows that he is not his own son.What else to say, even if there is no blood relationship, the family relationship between them surpasses all of this.
After going through a series of twists and turns, Master Zhen realizes his mistakes, repents and corrects himself.The fake young master... is still the young master, and married the girl he likes as his wife.As for the master, at the end, he was very moved and told the nanny that although she did not behave well in changing sons at the beginning, she has been loyal all these years.Finally, thanks to her move, he has two sons.
Yun Xi's eyelids twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This is so wrong!In the whole story, she sympathized most with the real young master, whose own destiny was taken away by other people's greed, and he had to forgive the enemy who robbed him, and even his father liked the counterfeit better.
Yun Xi couldn't help but said to Yan Ling who was sitting beside her: "No wonder the mistress had to die in childbirth at first. If she knew that the child she gave birth to in October would become the son of a servant and be taken away Everything, I am afraid that I will be so angry that I will die with this group of people directly."
They are now attending a banquet at Ren's house.When Yunxi's "Golden House" opened, Ren Zhongguang also took time out of his busy schedule to pass by.So this time, after receiving Ren Qiushi's post, she brought Yun Yao over here.
Mrs. Du Zhou didn't come, the two children were at the most active age, it was really inconvenient to take them out, and Mrs. Du was not at ease if they were left at home.
Going to a banquet is usually just chatting, watching a play or something.Yun Xi first heard that this drama was very popular recently, and she had great expectations, but in the end... she was confused by this inexplicable plot.
Yan Ling sat next to her and couldn't stop laughing, then smiled and said: "At least the plot of this drama is much better than what I saw before. The drama I saw before made me sick. What is it about poor scholars hooking up?" I went to the rich lady, and later went to Beijing to win the first prize, and felt that the rich lady was so easy to be seduced, it was really frivolous, so I simply abandoned her and married the Shangshu's daughter."
She recalled the plot and added: "In the end, after he had a son and a daughter with Shangshu's daughter, he returned to his hometown and heard that the rich lady was pregnant before he left. All these years, a person has brought his son with him, He lived with hardships. So he was moved and felt guilty, and finally took both the rich lady and the son, and the rich lady also became an equal wife. The family lived happily together."
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth kept twitching. She really shouldn't have so-called expectations for operas of this era.
She felt that there should be more drama excerpts.
A girl in an apricot yellow dress came over with an innocent smile, "Sister Du, Sister Dai, what are you talking about?"
Yun Xi smiled, "I'm talking about this play."
The name of the visitor is Wang Yutong, and it is said that she is a girl from the capital.Although Ren Qiushi never introduced her identity, but judging by the way she took great care of this little girl, it can be seen that her identity should not be low.It is said that Wang Yutong has just passed Jiji, but maybe because she always has an innocent and romantic smile, she looks smaller.The girls who came here today saw that she didn't have the sense of superiority as imagined by the noble girls in the capital, and they also had a certain affection for her, and they were very affectionate.
Wang Yutong sat down directly beside Yunyao, laughing crisply, "I've never seen this play in the capital, it's really interesting."
When the other girls heard her talking about the capital, they unconsciously gathered around and asked, "How is the capital?"
"What kind of drama do you usually listen to?"
Wang Yutong waved his hand, "Oh, I've never been interested in these things, I just listen to the excitement. I don't think Beijing is as fun as your Chuzhou."
Even if what she said may not be the truth, the other girls couldn't help but smile slightly when they heard the words.
Wang Yutong leaned towards Yun Xi affectionately, with admiration in his eyes, "And I think those girls in the capital are not as good-looking as Sister Du."
Yun Yao nodded in agreement, in her eyes, the older sister was the best.
Yun Xi said: "Everyone is beautiful, I think everyone is very good. Sister Yutong is innocent and romantic, Yanling is full of vigor, and Shuhui is gentle and considerate..."
She pointed out the advantages of the girls present one by one, and everyone's eyes and brows were filled with joy.
When the banquet was over, Yun Xi and Yun Yao were about to leave... At this moment Wang Yutong said suddenly: "Sister Yun Xi, your handkerchief is still with me."
After one night, she had already changed her address from "Sister Du" to Sister Yunxi.
Yun Xi's first reaction was that she didn't have a handkerchief by Wang Yutong's side. When her eyes met Wang Yutong's pleading gaze, she couldn't help but paused, walked over, and said, "What's wrong, Sister Yutong?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Yutong sniffled and said aggrievedly, "Sister Yunxi, can I leave with you?"
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, and said calmly: "What's the matter? If you want to live in my house, you can, but you have to tell your family."
Wang Yutong shook her head, "I just don't want them to know where I am."
Tears welled up in her big eyes, and she said, "If I go back with them, my family will soon force me to marry someone I don't like."
She sniffled, "I'm very envious of Sister Yun Xi, it's great to be able to marry someone I like."
Yun Xi frowned slightly, subconsciously lowered her voice, and said, "But even if you can escape for a while, you can't escape forever."
Wang Yutong said: "I just need to delay it for a few months." She paused and said, "My grandma loves me the most. After she receives my letter and comes back, no one can force me. I am Thinking of Sister Yun Xi, your family is in Fenghuang County, even if my parents look for me, they will only look for me in the state capital, how could I have thought that I would go to Fenghuang County."
Yun Yao heard it clearly from the side, and couldn't help but said: "But your family can't find you, so you will be worried?"
Wang Yutong said seriously: "I will find a way to write a letter to report to them when the time comes."
Yun Yao didn't say anything.
"I was thinking, see if I can pretend to be your maid and leave with you."
She bit her lower lip, and it was rare for her to show such a fragile expression when she usually smiled innocently, which made people unconsciously soften their hearts.
Yun Xi smiled slightly and said, "Then you change your clothes and leave with us later."
Wang Yutong was overjoyed and said, "I knew sister Yun Xi that you are as kind-hearted as they said." Then he hurried to change his clothes.
The corner of Yun Xi's lips raised a meaningful smile: So if she didn't help her, wouldn't she be kind?
Wang Yutong was not as careless as she appeared on the outside, not only changed her clothes, but also carefully untied the original bun and tied it into two long braids that little maids like to comb.She put away all the eye-catching jewelry on her body, and even smeared some ash on her fair and tender face.
At first glance, she was really just an ordinary little maid.
Wang Yutong followed behind them with low eyebrows and left Ren's house smoothly.
Yun Xi took her directly to the house where she lived.As soon as he entered the house, Wang Yutong cheered, childishly, "Great, I finally escaped!"
Yun Yao asked curiously: "Your family is engaged to you, won't you ask your opinion?"
Wang Yutong pursed her lips and said, "They think it's good, but I don't like it. I also want to be like Sister Yun Xi, who can be with the person I like." Not tweaking.
Yun Yao shook her head and said: "If I don't like it, no matter how good my parents think it is, they won't force me to nod and agree."
Thinking about it this way, she felt that it would be nice not to be reincarnated into a wealthy family.
Wang Yutong looked envious, "That's great."
Although she didn't know Wang Yutong's identity, Yun Xi still sent Yin Dan to serve her.
After Wang Yutong thanked Yun Xi, she happily went to her room.
After washing up, Yun Xi read half a book and was about to take a rest when there was a knock on the door.
Yun Xi opened the door, saw Yun Yao standing at the door, and quickly turned sideways to let her in.The nights in early spring are very cold, the kind of damp and cold penetrates into the bone marrow, especially freezing people.
Yun Yao went in and sat on her bed to rest.
Seeing her unhappy expression, Yun Xi smiled and said, "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"
Yun Yao tilted her head to see her cousin combing her hair slowly with a comb, and felt that her every move was so beautiful, like a painting.She watched for a while before she came back to her senses and realized that Yun Xi was asking her just now.
Yun Yao sighed like a little adult, and said, "Just now Yutong came to see me, saying that she admires you, and asked me a lot about you."
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Why, don't you like her?"
Yun Yao hugged the pillow directly, then took off her coat, got into the bed, and said, "I don't know why, anyway, I don't like her when I meet her." However, people around praised Wang Yutong as cute and cute, she said this If you talk like that, it seems like you are jealous of others.Only in front of Yun Xi would Yun Yao speak out her inner thoughts without reservation.
Yun Xi combed her hair, and the silky hair fell down. Even after removing the light makeup on her face, it still looked pleasing to the eye under the warm yellow light.
She blew out the lamp, walked to the bed, and then scratched Yunyao's nose accurately in the dark, and said, "Well, not bad. Although not smart enough, at least her intuition is quite accurate."
Before Yun Yao had time to understand the meaning of Yun Xi's words, she heard her say indifferently: "It's just right, I don't like her too much."
Yes, since the first time we met, there has been a faint dislike in my heart.
In the past few days, I can only use my feet to write QAQ
(End of this chapter)
"Yun Xi, is this gift really for me?" Aunt Li Yushi couldn't help asking, her tone a little unbelievable.
Yun Xi couldn't help laughing, "Of course it's for you. Grandma gave everyone a good share of the gifts she gave to everyone. Auntie, you took great care of my mother when you were not married, and grandma knew about it, that's why I gave it to everyone." Thinking about giving some thank you gifts." In fact, she got the most of all.Li Yushi had a lot of dowry back then.When she was divorced, her mother-in-law treated her more affectionately than her son, and deeply felt that her son was sorry for her, and even subsidized her a lot in private.Plus her gains over the years... the property under her name is not even less than the Yu family's property.
It's just that the Yu family obviously didn't know about it, otherwise her careless and calculating sister-in-law would definitely have her mind on her property.
Mrs. Yu's daughter, Yu Qingran, passed away, and what she missed most in the world was Yun Xi, her granddaughter, so this time, she sent a lot of things in the name of New Year's gift.What Yun Xi received was not only a title deed for a thousand acres of land, but also a set of gold noodles, silver noodles, pearl noodles, and ruby noodles.These add up to at least 2 taels.
Among all the people, Yun Xi received the heaviest gift, which everyone could understand.
As for the rest of the Du family, they also received presents. Yunyao and Yunxia both had a set of silver jewelry on their heads.Du Yifu and his wife received hundreds of acres of land.Because Li Yushi took good care of Yu Qingran back then, Mrs. Yu also gave Li Yushi 1000 taels of silver, plus a box of jewelry.
Li Yushi had never seen 1000 taels of silver, and the stuffed golden and silver hairpins, so he rushed to look for Yun Xi.
Li Yushi sighed, "I still think it's too precious."
Yun Xi smiled, "Grandma has given away everything, so naturally there is no reason to take it back." She paused and said, "Besides, when Duo Duo gets married in the future, you will definitely have to buy her a dowry , These also need silver.”
Li Yushi thinks about it the same way, she is already very grateful to Yun Xi for taking in their grandparents and grandchildren, so why would she want to give Yun Xi a dowry.At most, it's just a decent gift when you add makeup.
1000 taels of silver and this jewelry are enough for Duo Duo as a dowry.After all, Li Yu didn't expect her granddaughter to marry into such a wealthy family.
Li Yushi was persuaded by Yun Xi so much, and happily accepted the gift.
Then when she went out of the room, she happened to meet Mrs. Du Zhang who brought her two grandsons to the ancestral hall to worship her ancestors.
It can be said that Li Yushi and Du Zhangshi dislike each other.Li Yushi often scolded Du Zhangshi behind his back several times after he knew that Du Zhangshi treated Qingran badly and thought about sending Yun Xi to a nunnery.As for Mrs. Du, it was pure envy, jealousy, jealousy that Mrs. Li could live with Dafang, and that Yunxi treated her so well.
In comparison, treating her as a grandma was lukewarm.
Du Zhangshi smiled and said: "It's almost Chinese New Year, you don't need to go home."
It means, why is Li Yushi still staying here?
Li Yushi supported the hairpin on his head, and turned against the general in a small way, "Yun Xi let us live first, and she is not at ease when she says that we two weak girls are over there."
Mrs. Du was so angry that she gritted her teeth. If it wasn't for Mrs. Hong, she would still be Yun Xi's grandma.Especially after knowing that Yunxi has become the county lord and will be the wife of the Duke in the future, Du Zhang's guts are going to regret it.
Even if Yun Xi is promising again, it has nothing to do with her.The only consolation for her is that the relationship between Dafang and her has eased a lot over the past year. She is now living in the big house that Dafang built in Yanghe Village, and she is paid two taels of silver for one blessing every month. , and usually send some rice grains and meat, and her life is second to none in the village.
She could only comfort herself, she should be content.
Du Zhoushi happened to come over, seeing this scene, he secretly smiled.She thought it would be good for someone to suppress her mother-in-law.Du Zhoushi has no objection to Li Yushi and Dodo living at home.Li Yushi often teaches the maids at home to pinch flowers, put on shoe soles, etc., and he is very easy-going and easy to get along with.She has more people to talk to at home, and there is nothing wrong with it.
She stepped forward and said to Mrs. Du, "Mother, let's go to the ancestral hall."
Du Yilian didn't come over this year, and Du Zhou guessed that he probably didn't come because their eldest family had a better life and didn't want to be stimulated.Occasionally, people from the village would come and walk around, so she knew more or less about Du Yilian's current situation.
The life between him and Widow Chen was not good.Du Yilian, whose reputation is completely rotten, can only do odd jobs every day to support himself and Widow Chen.Widow Chen saw that he was really useless and she was unwilling to be lonely, so she hooked up with the men in the village and started a skin business.
Du Yilian actually endured the green hat on his head because of the money she brought back to support the child.
Mrs. Du and Zhang don't allow the two of them to come to the house at all now - they think it's dirty and embarrassing to the Du family, and they just live with their two grandchildren on weekdays.Because they lived with Du Zhangshi, Du Yong and Du Qiang were raised fat and white, and they are still wearing new clothes today.
Seeing that the two of them seem to have improved in conversation, Yun Xi found out that both of them had also entered school after asking.After thinking about it, she took out four knives of paper, two inkstones, two pieces of ink, added a few more pens, and gave them directly.I just hope that the two of them will read more books so that they can know what is right and what is wrong.
Du Yong was older, so he and his younger brother Du Qiang accepted Yun Xi's gift and thanked Yun Xi.
This year without Du Yilian coming to the door, and Du Zhang's family is still safe, Yun Xi didn't knock down the god tablet this time.
Facing the tablet, Du Yifu babbled about the happy events of the year, such as Du Zhou's giving birth to twins Du Lei and Du Rui.The twins have already begun to speak some simple words. The two Doudings are now at the age when they are most interested in walking. They don't need to be hugged. One hugs Yunyao's leg and the other hugs Yunxi's leg. They are all wearing the same style of clothes, not to mention how pleasing they are.When the two little bean dings heard their names, they gave a curious snort, as if they were wondering why they were called.
Du Rui even said, "Rui Rui, here!"
Yun Xi chuckled, and couldn't help pinching the cute little dimple on his right.
Du Yifu was a little speechless, and continued to talk about the happy events that happened this year.For example, Yun Xi was first canonized as the county lord, then became the county lord, and forged a good marriage.Because of Yun Shen's good performance, Du Yifu also said a few good things about Yun Shen in front of his ancestors.
And Yunxia, who was married, also gave birth to a son smoothly, and her life became prosperous.
After such a detailed count, Du Yifu found that he really had no regrets.Just wait a few years to help the youngest daughter Yunyao find a good marriage, that's all.After speaking, his tone choked up, this is all the blessing of the ancestors.
Yun Xi felt that it was better to trust her than to trust her ancestors.Obviously it's her fault, okay?
To everyone's relief, this year's worship can be said to be smooth, and there will no longer be such a thing as "the ancestors of the Du family will show their spirits and punish their unfilial children and grandchildren".
After leaving the ancestral hall, everyone exchanged glances and couldn't help laughing.
After worshiping the ancestors, they gathered together from top to bottom to enjoy a sumptuous lunch.
The New Year's benefits for the servants of the Du family are also very good. In addition to an extra set of new clothes and an extra red envelope of one month's wages, from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they will have the same meat dishes for every meal.
Yun Xi deliberately took out the peach blossom wine she brewed last year. She remembered that Yun Shen praised him for the delicious wine.At that time, she still kept an jar, and she wanted to keep it longer, but today is a happy day, so she simply took it out.
As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma made everyone who smelled it couldn't help but look forward to it.
Yun Xi poured a glass into everyone's wine glasses, feeling a little regretful in her heart: she felt that the glass wine glasses in her previous life were more suitable for drinking peach blossom wine.
The color of this peach blossom wine is as delicate and beautiful as the petals of peach blossoms. Swaying the wine glass gently, it seems that the wine is filled with the gorgeous color of peach blossoms in the whole spring.
Yun Xi took a sip lightly, and on the next side, that delicate face was almost wrinkled into a ball.
very sour!It's sour and astringent, it's too bad to drink.
She silently put down the glass and decided not to touch the wine.Who would have thought that this wine smells so good but tastes so hard to drink.
After tasting, the others also put down their wine glasses.Everyone was giving Yunxi some face, those who put in vegetables, those who fed the children fed the children, and those who talked, everyone tacitly ignored the jar of wine.
Well, although it doesn't taste good, it does smell mellow enough.In a sense, Yunxi Wine Brewing is indeed very powerful.
Yun Xi suddenly recalled that when Yun Shen came back, she couldn't wait to buy him a drink. Yun Shen only said that the wine was delicious, and drank a whole jar.
Thinking of this, there was nothing she didn't understand. I was afraid that Yun Shen couldn't bear to hurt her heart, so he tricked her into saying that it was delicious.
A person's true heart doesn't need to look at how many sweet words he usually says, but only needs to look at his actions.
At least in a different place, it is really difficult for Yun Xi to drink the whole pot and still say it is delicious against his conscience.
She pursed her lips, feeling a little annoyed, and she developed a fighting spirit again: When the peach blossoms are in full bloom this year, she must make another peach blossom wine. After making it this time, she must taste it by herself first, and she must not make trouble again. Make a joke like today.
I don't know how long Yun Shen will stay in the capital this time.Compared with the turbulent capital, a small place like Fenghuang County can simply enjoy the joy of the New Year.
……
After returning from the New Year's banquet in the palace, Yun Shen didn't change the prince's court clothes, but sat in front of the window and looked at the plum blossoms in front of him.
This courtyard was where his mother, Meng Zhiyun, lived. Since her death, it has been sealed off.It was not until Yunshen came back last year that he lived in again.Those who serve inside are all chosen by him.
Yun Shen has been away for so many years, and he is not used to letting strangers wait on him, so there are only two guards left in the yard, and two maidservants who are responsible for sweeping the floor.The current Duke and Duchess Yun Cao wanted to stuff people into it, but unfortunately she was deprived again of the housekeeper rights that she had so easily obtained because of the real and fake sons.
The concubine Yang, who was specially rewarded by the emperor before, is very clear about her position in the mansion, that is to suppress Yun Cao and help the eldest son Yun Shen.She is a gift from the emperor, and Yun Shen's position is stable, so even if he does not have a son and a half daughter, after Yun Shen inherits the Duke's Mansion in the future, he will definitely take care of her well.Therefore, in the entire Duke's Mansion, she is the one who sincerely helps Yun Shen. After all, their interests are shared.
When Yun Cao wanted to send two beautiful maids to Yun Shen's side, she changed hands and sent them directly to Yun Cao's precious son, saying that she was deliberately burying a nail.
Yun Mu is not a fool either, he can't see his wife's plan, and directly prolongs her time in the small Buddhist hall.
When Yun Shen came back this time, he had never seen Mrs. Yun Cao appearing at the banquet even during the Chinese New Year.Yun Shen knew that this was what Yun Mu meant by wanting to mend the relationship with him.Knowing that his son had experienced disfigurement, disability, and wandering outside, he seemed to be inspired by the so-called fatherly love and guilt.
It's just that Yun Shen didn't buy it. He used to yearn for fatherly love, but all he got was disappointment and despair again and again.It's just that now he no longer needs his hypocrisy.
On the contrary, Yun Cao's sons and daughters didn't know if they heard what the people around them said, and felt that their mother was killed by him, so they kept staring at him with hatred, and were reprimanded by Yun Mu for this.
Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps, Yun Shen came back to his senses, and saw a maid in pink with a food box in her hand, swaying gracefully as she walked.The cold spring was steep, and the clothes on her body seemed a lot thinner compared to the temperature.
Yun Shen's indifferent eyes fell on her face, and his brows furrowed even deeper. Looking closely at the maid's facial features, they were somewhat familiar.
The servant girl's eyes fell on Yun Shen's face that seemed to have descended from the sky, her face blushed slightly, and she whispered softly: "My lord, the second lady asked me to bring some hangover soup."
The second wife she mentioned was Yang Shi.
However, Yun Shen smelled the very faint scent of warmth on her body, and his face completely sank.
He sneered, looking at the servant girl with cold murderous intent, "Mo Yan."
His guard, Mo Yan, appeared in front of him with a whoosh.
Yun Shen said: "Bring this woman to Mrs. Yang, and send her soup to be inspected carefully to see what is added in it."
The servant girl didn't expect that such a thing would happen to her before she even entered the house, so she hurriedly knelt down, with tears in her eyes, "My lord, I don't know what you're talking about."
Before she had time to show her ability to cry, she was dragged away by Mo Yan, and the food box in her hand was also taken away for investigation.
Yun Shen directly said to the maid guarding the gate: "No matter who it is next time, it is not allowed to step into this courtyard without my order."
The servant girl nodded and asked again: "Is the master the same?"
Yun Shen didn't hesitate at all, but the temperature in his voice dropped, "He did the same."
If his mother knew, she probably didn't want this man to step into the courtyard where she lived. She didn't even want to see him for the last time before she died.
……
About half an hour later, Mo Yan came back.
He stated without any ups and downs: "The servant girl's name is Yun'er, and she used to serve in the courtyard of the eldest lady. Yang never asked her to bring hangover soup. Doctor Tang checked it, and added a kind of soup after eating it. Drugs that cause hallucinations."
Yun Shen's tone was cold, "That maid still has a warm scent on her body."
What's more, this maid named Yun'er has somewhat similar facial features to Yun Xi's, so she was obviously found deliberately, and even her name was deliberately chosen as Yun.Thinking of this, the murderous aura on Yun Shen's body almost solidified.
Mo Yan nodded, and added: "The maid named Yun'er was sent by the Cao family. I'm afraid the Cao family deliberately looked for it according to Miss Du's appearance." It must not be easy to find someone who is exactly the same, but It is not difficult to find people who are one or two points similar, and with a little effort in makeup, there will be three points of similarity.
Coupled with the warm fragrance on her body and the ingredients in the soup, it is obvious that Yun Xi wants to make this maid and Yun Shen a fait accompli, so that she will be disgusted by Yun Xi in the future.It would be even more troublesome if this Yun'er was given some kind of medicine to help her conceive and become a man in one fell swoop.
On the one hand, it can be regarded as burying someone beside Yun Shen.
If the will is a little weak, or if you are not cautious enough, you may be tricked.
Thinking of this, the disgust in Yun Shen's heart deepened, he glanced at Mo Yan, "How did Mrs. Yang deal with her?"
Mo Yan said calmly: "I hit [-] big boards in front of everyone, and sent them directly back to the Cao family." Anyone with a discerning eye can see that without the help of the Cao family, what would happen to the Yun Cao family who has been in confinement since last year? Can find this maid who is somewhat similar to Du Yunxi.
Yun Shen lowered his eyes and remained silent, before speaking after a while: "Find an opportunity to ruin that Yun'er's appearance." If he wanted to use that appearance to make trouble, he would naturally not forgive him easily.
Mo Yan nodded to express his understanding, as if he remembered something, a faint smile appeared on his face, "Mo Yang has successfully mixed into the Blood Plum Sect."
Yun Shen had ordered Mo Yang to act like this long ago, but he did not expect it to be so soon.Mo Yang and Mo Yan are brothers, both of them were picked up from mass graves in the past by him, so they can be called confidantes in his confidantes.Even Yun Shen, who thought he was cold-hearted and cold-hearted, cared a little bit about them, "It went so smoothly, wouldn't it be inviting you into the urn?"
After Yun Xi was chased and killed, Yun Shen has been brooding over this incident, trying to find out who was behind the scenes.But the Xuemeimen's location is mysterious and remote. Even though he had people follow several people, he failed to enter it after all.It wasn't until recently that the Blood Plum Sect started to recruit personnel, which gave him a chance to infiltrate.
Mo Yan shook his head, "No, it may be because the Blood Plum Sect suffered a lot of losses due to being chased and killed all over the past year, and some of the killers cultivated before were murdered by others, and they died before they became famous. That’s why they lowered the barrier to entry.”
There was an undisguised joy in his tone, and a cold and hateful smile reflected in his eyes.
Yun Shen thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing.On the contrary, it was thanks to Yun Xi's blessing.Yun Xi didn't know how to get the blood plum at the time, so she kept the blood plum well, kept a part for herself, and gave the rest to him.
When the members of Yunshen's sect set out on missions, they simply deliberately imitated the style of the Blood Plum Sect, silenced them and left the Blood Plum Blossoms behind.Naturally, these cases were successfully blamed on Xuemeimen.Even if the head of the Blood Plum Sect repeatedly explained, it was useless.After all, everyone knows that this blood plum blossom is only available in their organization.
Because of the many bloody cases, including some who had cooperated with the Blood Plum Sect in the past, the current situation of the Blood Plum Sect can be described as precarious.Even if someone thinks that the Blood Plum Sect was framed, they can only use the Blood Plum Sect as an object of anger if they cannot find the mastermind behind it.
Yun Shen didn't feel that his behavior was wrong at all.He killed people who deserved to be killed.
He looked into the distance, as if he was waiting, waiting for the day when he got the result.
After an unknown amount of time, a maid named Fang hurried over, with anger in her eyes.
One side was also a poor servant girl left behind in Yun Shen's yard. She walked up to Yun Shen, saluted, and then said, "Master, Yun'er admits that she was already the master's servant half a month ago. people."
Yun Shen was as black as ink, and when he pinched it with his hand, he crushed a piece of jade pendant with his bare hands.
The jade pendant worth several thousand taels turned into powder, but he seemed to be unconscious, with undisguised hostility and anger surging from the corners of his eyes and brows.
It turns out that the real killer move of the Cao family is here.Raping his father's concubine, if this matter is carried out, Yun Shen's reputation will be completely ruined.Even if Chu Xiyuan dotes on him again, in this case, he may not be able to protect his position.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, he was naturally beautiful when he smiled, but for some reason, it made the viewers feel terrified.
"I remember that Cao Chengyin is inhumane, right?"
Mo Yan nodded, slandering in his heart: Isn't it the young master who attacked Cao Chengyin at that time?Speaking of which, his master is the same as Nadu county master. One threw Mr. Cao to the pile of beggars, and the other directly made him a eunuch. The degree of cruelty is simply a natural match.
Yun Shen said: "Since this is the case, it is indeed pitiful for Mr. Cao's concubine to stay alone in the vacant room. Why not give it to his father, Lord Cao, as a gift to him as a child."
His tone was full of sarcasm, "Maybe this Marquis Cao can give birth to another descendant who will inherit the Cao family." After all, Cao Chengyin is already a useless person.
So under Yun Shen's arrangement, the story of Empress Cao's younger brother, Cao Le, and his son's two concubines being caught by Mrs. Cao was revealed, and spread all over the streets overnight. lane.
Some people even wrote the so-called small yellow books, which described the details vividly. The sales volume in the capital was not so good, and more than 1000 copies were sold in one day.
The Cao family was so angry that they vomited blood, but they searched for a long time, but they couldn't find the person who wrote the little yellow book.
Even the matter of the Cao family spread to the imperial court, and the imperial envoy naturally impeached the Cao family directly.
In the end, the positions of the Cao family were basically turned into blank slates, and they became people with the title of Master Hou.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the deposed prince has no hope of inheriting the throne.Everyone is naturally desperate to add insult to injury.
After dealing with the messy matter of the Cao family, Chu Xiyuan recruited Yun Shen into the palace, and what they were discussing was the marriage between Yun Shen and Yun Xi.
Because of the sword Yun Shen sent to Yun Xi, even though Chu Xiyuan had never met Yun Xi, he had a very high affection for her.
Coupled with the fact that Yun Xi is still Yun Shen's favorite person, Ai Wu and Wu Xia... are more pleasing to the eye.
"Qin Tianjian has already calculated the appropriate time for the wedding and marriage. You can choose whichever day you like." He paused and said, "But when you get married, you must return to the capital Yes. I plan to be your officiant."
Let the emperor be the officiant, this wedding is enough to have face.
Yun Shen looked at the date marked on the paper, and the corner of his mouth curled up. The small fixed time selected by Qin Tianjian was basically from April to June this year, and the direct marriage would be next year.Perhaps it was time to prepare the dowry for the bride.
Under normal circumstances, it also refers to those who get married within one to three years after marriage.
He put the paper back into his sleeve and said, "I'll discuss it with Yun Xi when I get back." He's not the kind of person who would set the time on his own initiative.
Chu Xiyuan had already started to think about what would be more appropriate to reward at that time.
……
Yun Xi, who was far away in Fenghuang County, didn't know that her fiancé had tricked her enemy again.
At this time, she was bored watching Yiyi tearing goodbye on the stage.This troupe is said to be the best in Chuzhou, and the singing is really melodious and full of true feelings, but it's a pity that Yun Xi couldn't appreciate it.No matter how good the singing is, with the boring and disgusting plot, it is really hard to swallow.
This play is quite famous in Chuzhou recently, and it tells the story of changing children.A nanny, in order to let her son live a good life, in a moment of greed, she exchanged the master's young master with a child of a similar age to her own, and the fate of the two changed from then on.
The nanny's child is also a false young master, well-clothed and well-fed, and taught by a famous teacher invited by his father since he was a child. Naturally, he is both civil and military, and is the dream lover of many women.The real young master was raised and became a so-called local hooligan.
Then the false young master and the real young master fell in love with the same kind and beautiful girl, but the girl fell in love with the false young master.In the process of fighting for the girl, the truth is exposed.
It's just the real young master's biological father, but he prefers the false young master who is taught to be educated, even if he knows that he is not his own son.What else to say, even if there is no blood relationship, the family relationship between them surpasses all of this.
After going through a series of twists and turns, Master Zhen realizes his mistakes, repents and corrects himself.The fake young master... is still the young master, and married the girl he likes as his wife.As for the master, at the end, he was very moved and told the nanny that although she did not behave well in changing sons at the beginning, she has been loyal all these years.Finally, thanks to her move, he has two sons.
Yun Xi's eyelids twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched.
This is so wrong!In the whole story, she sympathized most with the real young master, whose own destiny was taken away by other people's greed, and he had to forgive the enemy who robbed him, and even his father liked the counterfeit better.
Yun Xi couldn't help but said to Yan Ling who was sitting beside her: "No wonder the mistress had to die in childbirth at first. If she knew that the child she gave birth to in October would become the son of a servant and be taken away Everything, I am afraid that I will be so angry that I will die with this group of people directly."
They are now attending a banquet at Ren's house.When Yunxi's "Golden House" opened, Ren Zhongguang also took time out of his busy schedule to pass by.So this time, after receiving Ren Qiushi's post, she brought Yun Yao over here.
Mrs. Du Zhou didn't come, the two children were at the most active age, it was really inconvenient to take them out, and Mrs. Du was not at ease if they were left at home.
Going to a banquet is usually just chatting, watching a play or something.Yun Xi first heard that this drama was very popular recently, and she had great expectations, but in the end... she was confused by this inexplicable plot.
Yan Ling sat next to her and couldn't stop laughing, then smiled and said: "At least the plot of this drama is much better than what I saw before. The drama I saw before made me sick. What is it about poor scholars hooking up?" I went to the rich lady, and later went to Beijing to win the first prize, and felt that the rich lady was so easy to be seduced, it was really frivolous, so I simply abandoned her and married the Shangshu's daughter."
She recalled the plot and added: "In the end, after he had a son and a daughter with Shangshu's daughter, he returned to his hometown and heard that the rich lady was pregnant before he left. All these years, a person has brought his son with him, He lived with hardships. So he was moved and felt guilty, and finally took both the rich lady and the son, and the rich lady also became an equal wife. The family lived happily together."
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth kept twitching. She really shouldn't have so-called expectations for operas of this era.
She felt that there should be more drama excerpts.
A girl in an apricot yellow dress came over with an innocent smile, "Sister Du, Sister Dai, what are you talking about?"
Yun Xi smiled, "I'm talking about this play."
The name of the visitor is Wang Yutong, and it is said that she is a girl from the capital.Although Ren Qiushi never introduced her identity, but judging by the way she took great care of this little girl, it can be seen that her identity should not be low.It is said that Wang Yutong has just passed Jiji, but maybe because she always has an innocent and romantic smile, she looks smaller.The girls who came here today saw that she didn't have the sense of superiority as imagined by the noble girls in the capital, and they also had a certain affection for her, and they were very affectionate.
Wang Yutong sat down directly beside Yunyao, laughing crisply, "I've never seen this play in the capital, it's really interesting."
When the other girls heard her talking about the capital, they unconsciously gathered around and asked, "How is the capital?"
"What kind of drama do you usually listen to?"
Wang Yutong waved his hand, "Oh, I've never been interested in these things, I just listen to the excitement. I don't think Beijing is as fun as your Chuzhou."
Even if what she said may not be the truth, the other girls couldn't help but smile slightly when they heard the words.
Wang Yutong leaned towards Yun Xi affectionately, with admiration in his eyes, "And I think those girls in the capital are not as good-looking as Sister Du."
Yun Yao nodded in agreement, in her eyes, the older sister was the best.
Yun Xi said: "Everyone is beautiful, I think everyone is very good. Sister Yutong is innocent and romantic, Yanling is full of vigor, and Shuhui is gentle and considerate..."
She pointed out the advantages of the girls present one by one, and everyone's eyes and brows were filled with joy.
When the banquet was over, Yun Xi and Yun Yao were about to leave... At this moment Wang Yutong said suddenly: "Sister Yun Xi, your handkerchief is still with me."
After one night, she had already changed her address from "Sister Du" to Sister Yunxi.
Yun Xi's first reaction was that she didn't have a handkerchief by Wang Yutong's side. When her eyes met Wang Yutong's pleading gaze, she couldn't help but paused, walked over, and said, "What's wrong, Sister Yutong?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Yutong sniffled and said aggrievedly, "Sister Yunxi, can I leave with you?"
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, and said calmly: "What's the matter? If you want to live in my house, you can, but you have to tell your family."
Wang Yutong shook her head, "I just don't want them to know where I am."
Tears welled up in her big eyes, and she said, "If I go back with them, my family will soon force me to marry someone I don't like."
She sniffled, "I'm very envious of Sister Yun Xi, it's great to be able to marry someone I like."
Yun Xi frowned slightly, subconsciously lowered her voice, and said, "But even if you can escape for a while, you can't escape forever."
Wang Yutong said: "I just need to delay it for a few months." She paused and said, "My grandma loves me the most. After she receives my letter and comes back, no one can force me. I am Thinking of Sister Yun Xi, your family is in Fenghuang County, even if my parents look for me, they will only look for me in the state capital, how could I have thought that I would go to Fenghuang County."
Yun Yao heard it clearly from the side, and couldn't help but said: "But your family can't find you, so you will be worried?"
Wang Yutong said seriously: "I will find a way to write a letter to report to them when the time comes."
Yun Yao didn't say anything.
"I was thinking, see if I can pretend to be your maid and leave with you."
She bit her lower lip, and it was rare for her to show such a fragile expression when she usually smiled innocently, which made people unconsciously soften their hearts.
Yun Xi smiled slightly and said, "Then you change your clothes and leave with us later."
Wang Yutong was overjoyed and said, "I knew sister Yun Xi that you are as kind-hearted as they said." Then he hurried to change his clothes.
The corner of Yun Xi's lips raised a meaningful smile: So if she didn't help her, wouldn't she be kind?
Wang Yutong was not as careless as she appeared on the outside, not only changed her clothes, but also carefully untied the original bun and tied it into two long braids that little maids like to comb.She put away all the eye-catching jewelry on her body, and even smeared some ash on her fair and tender face.
At first glance, she was really just an ordinary little maid.
Wang Yutong followed behind them with low eyebrows and left Ren's house smoothly.
Yun Xi took her directly to the house where she lived.As soon as he entered the house, Wang Yutong cheered, childishly, "Great, I finally escaped!"
Yun Yao asked curiously: "Your family is engaged to you, won't you ask your opinion?"
Wang Yutong pursed her lips and said, "They think it's good, but I don't like it. I also want to be like Sister Yun Xi, who can be with the person I like." Not tweaking.
Yun Yao shook her head and said: "If I don't like it, no matter how good my parents think it is, they won't force me to nod and agree."
Thinking about it this way, she felt that it would be nice not to be reincarnated into a wealthy family.
Wang Yutong looked envious, "That's great."
Although she didn't know Wang Yutong's identity, Yun Xi still sent Yin Dan to serve her.
After Wang Yutong thanked Yun Xi, she happily went to her room.
After washing up, Yun Xi read half a book and was about to take a rest when there was a knock on the door.
Yun Xi opened the door, saw Yun Yao standing at the door, and quickly turned sideways to let her in.The nights in early spring are very cold, the kind of damp and cold penetrates into the bone marrow, especially freezing people.
Yun Yao went in and sat on her bed to rest.
Seeing her unhappy expression, Yun Xi smiled and said, "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"
Yun Yao tilted her head to see her cousin combing her hair slowly with a comb, and felt that her every move was so beautiful, like a painting.She watched for a while before she came back to her senses and realized that Yun Xi was asking her just now.
Yun Yao sighed like a little adult, and said, "Just now Yutong came to see me, saying that she admires you, and asked me a lot about you."
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Why, don't you like her?"
Yun Yao hugged the pillow directly, then took off her coat, got into the bed, and said, "I don't know why, anyway, I don't like her when I meet her." However, people around praised Wang Yutong as cute and cute, she said this If you talk like that, it seems like you are jealous of others.Only in front of Yun Xi would Yun Yao speak out her inner thoughts without reservation.
Yun Xi combed her hair, and the silky hair fell down. Even after removing the light makeup on her face, it still looked pleasing to the eye under the warm yellow light.
She blew out the lamp, walked to the bed, and then scratched Yunyao's nose accurately in the dark, and said, "Well, not bad. Although not smart enough, at least her intuition is quite accurate."
Before Yun Yao had time to understand the meaning of Yun Xi's words, she heard her say indifferently: "It's just right, I don't like her too much."
Yes, since the first time we met, there has been a faint dislike in my heart.
In the past few days, I can only use my feet to write QAQ
