The rich and noble peasant daughter
Chapter 230 The thief shouted to catch the thief, the plan failed
Chapter 230 The thief shouted to catch the thief, the plan failed
Yun Xi looked at Yang Jinxiu, who looked very sincere, and said in a playful tone, "Help you?"
Yang Jinxiu lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes made her look innocent and beautiful, "I don't want my stepmother to arrange a random marriage and ruin my life like this."
Yun Xi said lightly: "Why should I help you?"
Yang Jinxiu raised her head and looked at her seriously, "My younger sister was born beautiful, and my stepmother has high hopes for her, but our Yang family's family background is there. No matter what, we can't really marry Gao Big door."
She pursed her lips and continued: "From what I've seen, it seems that he wants to marry his younger sister to the eldest son as a concubine."
"Minnv is willing to help Mrs. Shizi inquire about news, but only asks Mrs. Shizi to find a proper marriage for Minnv. She doesn't want to be a wealthy family, rich and powerful, but only wants to be a couple for the rest of her life."
When she said this, her expression was firm, and her fair face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light, which was so loud and moving.
Yun Xi lowered her gaze, and said with a slight smile in her voice, "You are a smart person, and you don't think like your sister."
Yang Jinxiu said: "Before I met Madam, I also had such hopes... But after seeing Madam, I knew that my thoughts were superfluous. With Madam in front, I am afraid that Shizi Yun will not pretend anymore Why should I humiliate myself if I don’t want to leave others behind?”
She looked frank and frank, and she even said her little thoughts before, and her brows were full of sincere emotions.
Yun Xi sighed and said, "Get up."
Yang Jinxiu continued: "I heard that my sister wants to create a chance encounter with the son in the garden, Madam please be careful."
Yun Xi just hummed, indicating that she knew.
Yang Jinxiu thought she was extremely intelligent, but she couldn't read Yun Xi's inner thoughts from her face.Under normal circumstances, when someone hears that someone covets one's husband, one will inevitably get angry and lose one's composure. When the wife of the eldest son arrives, she is quite calm.
Yang Jinxiu didn't dare to look any further, she just stood up and quietly waited for her next step.
After a while, Yun Xi said: "I will judge for myself whether the matter is true or not. If what you said is true, then you will get what you want."
Yang Jinxiu was overjoyed and bowed profusely, "Thank you Madam Shizi."
Immediately turned and left.
After she left the courtyard, Yin Dan said with a smile: "This Miss Yang is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and she came here immediately to give you my allegiance."
Yun Xi rubbed her temples and said, "In comparison, Miss Yang Er is a bit simpler."
Among the three girls who came to pay their respects today, Yang Jinni was the one who was the easiest to understand.
Yun Xi said; "Beside the three of them, let's put a nail in there."
Yang Jinxiu seemed frank and sincere, but Yun Xi faintly felt that something was wrong, she paused, and said, "Then Madam Yang, we should also arrange one for her."
Yin Dan nodded, anyway, no matter who covets the son-in-law, they can't escape their eyes.
The five members of the Yang family were arranged to live in Yingyue Garden, which was closer to Yang's yard.Feng Yun's grandparent and grandson were arranged to live in Luoxue Courtyard, which was about 5 minutes' walk away from Yun Xi's courtyard.
Yang arranged four servant girls for each of their courtyards, and each of the three girls had a servant girl beside them.Yun Xi also took this opportunity to mix her people into it - of course she also greeted Yang Shi.
As Yang Jinxiu said, Yang Jinni did go to the garden that day.Yun Shen didn't usually go there at all, so he never met him.
Yun Xi also smiled and mentioned the three girls to Yun Shen, Yun Shen frowned directly, "Why lose your mind because of the three of them, if you don't like them, just don't let them come to the yard." He didn't want his wife to be pregnant You have to cheer up and deal with people.
Yun Xi smiled, "Left and right are fine now, it's interesting to watch the show."
It's really fun, at a young age, that little carelessness still looks a little immature in her eyes.She was still in the period of filial piety, and it was not easy to invite the so-called theater troupe on weekdays, but now she can be regarded as watching a good show.
Among the three, Yang Jinxiu was undoubtedly the one Yun Xi paid the most attention to, simply because she had done too much.
With the first snowfall in winter, Yun Xi was rarely in the mood to come, so she simply went to Meilin to admire the plum blossoms.
The plum blossoms in Yunfu are not only found in Meiyuan.Back then, Meng Zhiyun loved plum blossoms, and Yun Mu specially built a plum blossom grove to cater to her.
White snowflakes are falling down one after another, and the plum blossoms on the branches are in full bloom, becoming a beautiful scene in winter, and the unique warm fragrance of plum blossoms is lingering in the nose.
Yun Xi was wearing a white fox cloak, and she was holding Mrs. Tang in her hand. Yun Shen felt that it wasn't enough, and even used her internal energy to warm her hands, so even in this white snow, she didn't feel cold at all.
Suddenly, Yun Xi heard the sound of a piano not far away, melodious and melodious.
She looked at Yun Shen with some amusement, and a teasing smile appeared in her eyes.
Yun Shen's face immediately darkened, "It can be seen that our mansion is too generous, but it has caused the people below to have two hearts, and even our whereabouts can be revealed." He didn't think it would be someone from his yard As I said, the left and right are just those low-sighted servants.
Yun Xi laughed softly, as if she couldn't bear to shake the thin snow on the branches, "It's not even, it's just just right, let's go and have a look."
The sound of the piano is continuous, with a little lingering meaning.
Yun Xi and Yun Shen followed the sound of the piano, and the song just ended. Yang Jinxiu was wearing a pleated skirt embroidered with onion and yellow plum blossoms, and a cloak made of brocade with emerald patterns on a silver and white background. The plum blossoms, yellow pistils and white petals on her skirt , the same size as a real flower, complements the plum blossoms as the background, and the end is picturesque.
The smile on the corner of Yun Xi's mouth deepened—could it be that Yang Jinxiu said that he didn't want to marry as a concubine, but it wasn't the case in action?
Yang Jinxiu didn't seem to have seen them coming, she turned sideways to them, showing half of her pretty face, she put down the guqin in her hand, clasped her hands together, and said in a clear and pious voice, "Yang Jinxiu, the believer girl, fortunately, Mrs. We will take care of you, and I only hope that God can protect the wife of the eldest son in a safe and happy life, with good fortune and longevity, so that she can give birth to the future little son in peace."
Yun Shen looked at this seemingly very touching scene indifferently, with a murderous intent looming on his body. He hated people who used Yun Xi as a raft the most, as if Yun Xi would not be blessed without her prayers.
Yun Xi lowered her eyelids, she had to admit that this Yang Jinxiu was indeed a lot of drama.If other people saw this scene, they would definitely be moved by Yang Jinxiu's selfless, whole-hearted approach to being a human being.However, Yun Xi had read too many novels and so-called betrayal and calculation dramas in her previous life, and she only felt that it was full of routines.
It's amazing.
She intentionally accentuated the footsteps, and Yang Jinxiu seemed startled by the footsteps.
Turning around, a blush quickly appeared on her fair cheeks, she looked even more charming than the plum blossoms on the branches, "Shi, Mrs. Shizi..." She seemed to only see the existence of Yun Xi in her eyes, but never It fell on Yun Shen.
"I, I just want to pray for Mrs. Shizi in private..." She bit her lower lip, looked even more embarrassed, and lowered her neck slightly, "I heard Madam's words and deeds early in Beijing, and I admire them very much. I am even more fortunate to receive the occasional teaching from my wife, and I am extremely grateful. It's just that my wife is pregnant, so even if I am willing to serve you, I don't dare to disturb her too much. I wanted to pray for my wife in private..."
The breeze blew gently, and the plum blossom petals on the branches fell on Yang Jinxiu's body, the corners of her clothes fluttering, tender and lovely.
Yun Xi smiled slightly and said, "You have a heart."
Isn't it intentional?Before praying for blessings, she still didn't forget to play the piano and use the sound of the piano to draw people over. Do you really think she is a fool?
Yun Xi could still watch the play with great interest, but Yun Shen's expression was not so good.It's her business that Yang Jinxiu likes to plan, but she shouldn't use her brains on Yun Xi, which undoubtedly triggered Yun Shen's rebellion.
He said coldly: "Since you want to pray for blessings, then go to the Small Buddha Hall tomorrow and read a hundred volumes of scriptures and copy one volume of scriptures every day."
Yang Jinxiu didn't expect Yun Shen to have such a reaction. She wanted to explain something, but when she raised her head, her eyes met Yun Shen's ice-like eyes, and she trembled a few times.She is also a person with a very quick reaction, knowing that her behavior not only did not leave a good impression on Yun Shen, but also aroused his disgust, she whispered: "This is my blessing."
Yun Xi shook her head, "Jinxiu also has good intentions, why should you do this, the visitor is a guest."
There is no reason to punish guests for copying Buddhist scriptures.
Yun Shen snorted coldly, and in the end didn't say anything, but just pulled Yun Xi away.
After Yun Xi passed, someone gave Yang Jinxiu two bolts of silk as a comfort.
……
After the news that Yang Jinxiu nearly got punished for praying for blessings got out, Feng Dongxiang became more disciplined, and her grandmother's advice was kept in mind, not daring to forget.Yang Jinni, who was at odds with her and Yang Jinxiu, laughed out loud several times.If she didn't want the other servants of the Yunfu to see the joke, she would definitely run to Sister Di and scold Huai to express her anger.
She smiled and said to her mother, Mrs. Yang: "She usually likes to play with such little tricks to buy people's hearts. This is good, it can be regarded as kicking the iron plate."
Then he complained, "Mrs. Shizi is just too kind, why bother to intercede with her? You should let her recite Buddhist scriptures and meditate every day."
Mrs. Yang shook her head and said, "Madam Shizi is right to do this. Jinxiu is not even a distant relative in Yunfu. Even if she is punished, it will not be Shizi's turn, and she is not a woman in his backyard. Madam Shizi It’s just that I don’t want to fall into the trap.”
This lady of the world does this, and no one in the house praises her for being tolerant and kind.
Yang Jinni suddenly realized, sighed, and said: "Although Shizi is good-looking, it's just that he has a really bad temper and is moody. If he stays in front of him, he doesn't know how to make him angry."
Listening to her tone, she has completely let go of those original thoughts, and even felt that her previous thoughts were too naive and ridiculous.
Seeing that her daughter had really turned around completely, Mrs. Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "I heard that your aunt is inviting a lady these days. When the time comes, tighten your skin and learn from the lady."
"As for Mrs. Shizi, don't forget to walk around more, it will be good for your future."
Yang Jinni is a face control herself, she nodded and said: "Mrs. Shizi is pretty, and I am willing to look at her every day."
As for Shi Ziye, although he is more beautiful, he is too cruel, and he may be angered if he is not careful.After weighing it up, Yang Jinni felt that the next best thing was to look at Mrs. Shizi.
……
Yun Xi also admired Yang Jinxiu very much. After being severely slapped by Yun Shen, and even ridiculed by the servants of the Yunfu, Yang Jinxiu still showed a dignified and polite appearance in front of people, and seemed not to be saddened by those rumors.
During these days, these girls went to her yard to say hello to her every day, and Yun Xi decided according to her mood whether to meet them or not.If you are in a good mood, give them some pointers. If you are in a bad mood, it means that you are not feeling well today.
Mrs. Yang even invited two female gentlemen to come here specially for these girls, and they would explain the rules and etiquette on weekdays.Yun Xi also went to half a class, and she talked so-so, but she still couldn't compare to her mother Li and Zhang.But no matter what happened to Yun Xi, she would not take the initiative to say that she would lend the two nuns out to teach them.
When the female teacher started to teach them, the three girls naturally didn't have much time left to pay their respects to Yun Xi because of the need to attend classes—plus, Yun Xi never treated them with respect because of their coming every day and their respectful attitude. Treat them differently.
On the other hand, Yang Jinxiu has been like a day for decades. Every day after class, he comes to Yunxi's place, and gently reports to Yunxi about Yang Jinni's various little moves.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, after the usual greetings, she raised her head and said calmly: "Madam, my concubine, it seems that this New Year's Eve banquet is going to be a big one, Madam, please be careful."
After a few days of silence, Yang Jinxiu continued to inform Yun Xi.What puzzled her was: Even though she had already let Mrs. Shizi see her younger sister's "wolf ambition", why Mrs. Shizi was still indifferent.Could it be that she has so much confidence in Yun Shizi?
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth curled up slightly, "I know, thank you Jinxiu."
This is the first time she has said such words these days.
When Yang Jinxiu heard this, her eyes turned red instantly, and her voice was a little choked up, "It's my honor to be able to do things for Madam, I'm so tired."
Yun Xi took out the emerald jade hairpin Bu Yao from her dressing box, and said with a gentle tone, "I think this jewelry is very suitable for your vows."
Yang Jinxiu took it flattered, put the jewelry on her hair, then lowered her head, showing a shy smile.
After talking to her for a while, Yun Xi sent her away.
After Yang Jinxiu left, Shuang Jiang asked puzzledly, "I still don't understand what the girl is doing to promote her."
Because nails were planted around Yang Jinxiu and the others, Yun Xi and the others were not deceived by Yang Jinxiu's usual attitude of being only her.Yang Jinxiu is by no means as peaceful as she appears on the surface.
Even Mrs. Yang, who she said was very bad to her, was not as bad as she said, but she sincerely wanted to find a suitable marriage as soon as possible, and marry the prostitute daughter who was born earlier, so as to avoid her reputation from being ruined by her successor. The woman's many small actions made it worse and worse.
According to Yang Jinxiu, her younger sister, Yang Jinni, has a heart higher than the sky, and she wholeheartedly wants to seduce Yun Shen as a concubine, and from time to time, she wants to create so-called encounters in the garden, small encounters in the garden.
It's just that Yun Xi's investigation revealed that these actions were basically instigated by Yang Jinni's maid, Chun Tao, and her nanny Gui Mama.
Li Qiu even saw Yang Jinxiu secretly contacting Gui's mother in private, so the truth is self-evident.
Yang Jinxiu's deliberate plan was nothing more than to make her really think that Yang Jinni wanted to marry Yun Shen, and let Yun Xi deal with Mrs. Yang and Yang Jinni instead.
Therefore, after investigating these contents, the maids around Yun Xi were very dissatisfied with Yang Jinxiu. Yang Jinxiu simply deliberately used Yun Xi as a weapon.
Yun Xi felt that things might not be that simple.She was also very angry, Yang Jinxiu said, what is Yang Jinni's so-called big move.
She took a sliced apple and put it in her mouth, bit it lightly, and the taste of apple juice filled her mouth, "Let's see what tricks she has."
If it was before, she would have come up with various reasons to drive out a villain like Yang Jinxiu who likes to provoke.Maybe it's because I've been too boring recently, but in the end I chose to keep her so that I can continue watching the show.
She paused, and then said: "You said that Yang Jinxiu said with certainty that Yang Jinni is going to play a big move today, should I cooperate with her?"
Shuang Jiang and the others felt ashamed when they saw Yun Xi eager to try.My girl's bad taste is really getting stronger and stronger.
Speaking of which, the reason why Yun Xi has such confidence is because the matter is under her control, so she has no fear.She holds two powers in her hands, and she has buried nails around a few girls. It would be a joke if they could still be counted by a few girls in this situation.
At the New Year's Eve banquet at noon today, both Yun Shen and Yun Mu went to the palace for the banquet. As for Yun Xi, because she was pregnant, Yun Shen didn't want his wife to be tired, so he just turned away.
Yun Xi also felt that instead of eating those cold dishes in the palace, it would be better to stay at home and eat her hot soup.
Speaking of which, in the past few months, I don't know if it's because of the age of the month, she seems to be getting more and more lethargic.After Yun Xi had lunch, she went directly to take a rest.
After sleeping for almost an hour, Yun Xi suddenly felt a little hungry and woke up again.
Yin Dan asked the people below to serve bird's nest porridge and goat's milk pastry, and said in a low voice: "Yang Jinni's maid, Chun Tao, asked Yang Jinni for leave, left Yunfu, and went to the pharmacy to buy things."
Yun Xi smiled slightly and said, "What did she buy?"
Yin Dan blinked, and said quickly: "The ones I bought are all aphrodisiacs like Hehuansan, there are several kinds."
When Chuntao and Mother Gui met Yang Jinxiu in private, Yun Xi knew that these two people should belong to Yang Jinxiu, so that means that buying this medicine should be Yang Jinxiu's intention.Thinking about the so-called big things Yang Jinxiu said to her in the morning, I'm afraid that He Huan San will be used on Yun Shen.
"What kind of hatred is this? You have to calculate your sister like this."
Shuang Jiang said seriously: "A girl like this with ulterior motives, it's better for the girl to deal with her early."
Yun Xi nodded, "I remember you said earlier that Yang Jinxiu gave Chuntao and Nanny Gui a lot of things, right?"
Li Qiu nodded, "Those things should belong to her mother's dowry."
Yun Xi smiled softly, "That's fine, it can be considered as evidence."
Halfway through her conversation with Shuangjiang and the others, Yun Shen had already returned from the palace.He didn't want to bring the cold outside into the house, so he specially changed his clothes and re-warmed his cold hands before entering the house.
Yun Xi stretched out her arms to hug him, and told him about Yang Jinxiu's matter, with a smile, "Say, should we add fuel to the flames?"
As soon as Yun Shen heard it, he knew that his wife wanted to do something big, so he raised his eyebrows, "What are you going to do?"
Yun Xi said with deep meaning, "It all depends on what Yang Jinxiu wants to do."
……
This year's Yunfu's New Year's Eve dinner, although Yun Yi and Yun Shu were missing, it was more lively than usual.
Not only the daughter-in-law Yun Xi, but also the grandparents of Feng Yun's family and the Yang family.
Perhaps it was because of Yang's hard work and never causing trouble in these years, it was rare for Yun Mu to give Yang a face and let the Yang family follow him to the table.After all, logically speaking, Yang is a noble concubine, and her relatives are not considered serious relatives of the Duke's Mansion.
Yang's son is five years old this year, he is the most playful age, he looks aggressive, and he is not timid at all.
Yun Xi has always had a high tolerance for cute children, and seeing that he was not much different in age from her two cousins, she couldn't help but love him a little bit, and gave him a transparent jade pendant as a New Year's gift .Yun Mu and Yun Shen also gave gifts, especially Yun Mu, who also gave him a radiant necklace, which was very valuable at first glance.
Originally, Yang Jinxiu had always acted in a low-key manner on such occasions, and she didn't show her dew. Today, she didn't know if she drank too much, her cheeks were flushed, and she held a glass of fruit wine in her hand. cup, "I respect my sister-in-law this time, it's thanks to my sister-in-law for her teaching these days."
The water in Yun Xi's glass was toilet water mixed with sweet-scented osmanthus dew. She used water instead of wine and drank half of the glass as a compliment.No one had any doubts about her actions. First of all, she was pregnant, so she was not suitable for drinking alcohol. Secondly, everyone did not forget that Yun Xi was still in her filial piety period.
After Yang Jinxiu drank it all down, she filled another glass for herself, turned her head to Yun Shen and said, "The young girl acted recklessly earlier, which offended the Master, so I offer three cups to the Master today as an expression of apology."
Then he really drank three glasses of wine in one breath, his face was flushed, and his eyes were a little blurred.
A girl's family mustered up the courage to toast and apologize in front of a large crowd. If Yun Shen continued to haggle with her, it would be quite unreasonable.
Yun Shen's expression was calm. After drinking three glasses of wine, his expression was still clear.
However, Yun Xi noticed that he had clearly used his internal force to evaporate the alcohol in his body.
At this time, Chuntao's maid hurriedly pushed her young lady, and said in a low voice: "Miss, you should also go to toast, how can you make the young lady specialize in the front?" There was a hint of hatred in her tone. .
Yang Jinni thought it was the same, so she toasted with a wine glass.
Yun Shen has a good capacity for alcohol, plus he still has internal strength, even if he drinks dozens of cups, it's not a big problem.Yun Xi finally understood that he had gotten drunk in front of her repeatedly before, and it was clearly on purpose. If he didn't want to get drunk, it would be the same with ten catties of wine.
Both Yang Jinxiu and Yang Jinni toasted, and Feng Dongxiang, who had been eating food in silence, did nothing and made a symbolic toast.
The jug in front of Yun Shen was soon emptied, and the people below filled it with a new one.Cold wine hurts the stomach, so the wine at today's banquet was specially warmed.
The wine in the wine glass was crystal clear, and the faint aroma of the wine confused people's five senses.
Yun Xi, who was sitting next to Yun Shen, noticed that Yun Shen's hand seemed to have paused for a moment, and then, using the cover of his sleeve, he directly spilled the wine in the glass on the ground.
Yun Shen himself is not a targetless person, nor would he use this method to escape just because he doesn't want to drink.Unless there is something wrong with the wine... Yun Xi's eyes fell on the golden jug... After changing to a new jug of wine, Yun Shen didn't even touch his lips, so the problem was the wine.
Yun Shen pretended to be drunk, and Yun Xi ordered: "Help my son to Sansongyuan for a rest." Sansongyuan got its name from the three pine trees planted in the yard, and it was also the yard closest to the main hall.
Mo Yan and the others helped Yun Shen, who seemed a little drunk, to his feet, while Yun Xi stayed on the table to watch the follow-up development.
On the other side, because Yang Jinxiu drank a lot of wine, his head fell directly on the table.
Yang Jinxiu's seat was next to Yang Jinni's, and Yang Jinni's maid Chun Tao couldn't help but exclaimed, "Missy is drunk."
Getting drunk and falling on the table is a very unseemly behavior, let alone it happened to a girl.
Both Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang couldn't help but frown, obviously feeling that Yang Jinxiu had embarrassed the Yang family.
Madam Yang glanced at her, and frowned even tighter, "Where's Yang Liu?"
Yang Liu is Yang Jinxiu's eldest maid.
Yang Jinni said: "My sister was a little cold earlier, Yang Liu went back to the room to get clothes for my sister."
Chuntao said: "The servant will help the young miss to rest."
Yang did not doubt that he was there, she nodded and asked Chuntao to help Yang Jinxiu to rest in the yard.
Thoughts flashed across Yun Xi's eyes; now she can be sure that Yang Jinxiu is pretending to be drunk, normally a completely drunk person, a little maid who doesn't have much strength, can't help her up.It's not that Yun Xi has never met a real alcoholic.
In the previous life, Huanhuan was lovelorn and vomited in the toilet, reeking of alcohol.At that time, Yun Xi was not as powerful as she was later. The four girls in the dormitory used all their strength to change Huanhuan's clothes and help her take a good bath, making everyone miserable.
Chuntao helped Yang Jinxiu up, but it didn't look like it took much effort. It can be seen that Yang Jinxiu was cooperating with her. Chuntao was originally Yang Jinxiu's person... and then contacted Yun Shen who was sent to the nearest Sansongyuan to rest , and the Acacia powder she specially bought this morning, Yun Xi already understood Yang Jinxiu's purpose in her heart.
The intention was on Yun Shen.
Yang Jinxiu had vowed in front of her that she would never be a concubine, and she had repeatedly told her about her younger sister Yang Jinni's thoughts. Her ultimate goal was to gain her trust and make her a target by the way.The only thing she didn't expect was that Yun Xi didn't go to deal with Yang Jinni as she wished.
A hint of watching a good show appeared on Yun Xi's face, and she pretended to be a little tired.She can be said to be the most noble person in the Yun Mansion now, how dare the others make her so tired, they are in a hurry to let her go back to rest.
Back in her yard, Yun Xi saw Yun Shen inside the house.There was no trace of drunkenness on his white jade-like flawless face, which showed that he had never been drunk at all.
He helped Yun Xi onto the couch, and pulled her into his arms.
Yun Xi said helplessly: "Where is the need to be so careful?"
The corner of Yun Shen's lips curled up, and he directly talked about the wine at the banquet, "Sure enough, acacia powder was added to the wine. I knew it after just dipping it, so I poured it all out later."
Yun Xi said: "It was Yang Jinni's maid who went to buy the medicine, and that Chuntao was the one who sent Yang Jinxiu back. If the matter is exposed, others will only think that Yang Jinni instructed her personal maid to do this. She is still the most pitiful victim .”
Yun Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this routine is really unusual.First swear in front of her that she doesn't want to be a concubine, and ask Yun Xi to help find a suitable marriage.Then he was "framed" by his sister very pitifully, and lost his reputation.
In this case, as a proper victim, even if she became Yun Shen's concubine, Yun Xi couldn't blame her.
Yun Shen naturally also saw this, and said with a sneer, "It's really wishful thinking."
Yun Xi glanced at him with a smile, "If you come back like this, it would be a pity to let her calculations come to nothing. At least someone should be left there."
Since Yang Jinxiu wanted to be a concubine, he should give her someone.
The corners of Yun Shen's lips raised a dangerous arc, "I saw that the old king was old and had to keep guard in the cold wind. It was pitiful, so I rewarded him with my coat and let him go to the house to rest. Some. Let Mo Yan guard him at the door."
The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, this is a good show.Yang Jinxiu would think that the room was Yunshen, and one could imagine what would happen then.
"Which old king?" She asked curiously, there are several people surnamed Wang in Yunfu.
Yun Shen said calmly: "His wife passed away two years ago and left no heirs. Recently, he has been wanting to find another step-wife to add blood to him. Didn't he also take a fancy to your maid before?"
Yun Xi immediately thought of this strange creature named Lao Wang.It is said that he suffered from smallpox when he was a child, so there were many pockmarks on his face, and he had a high self-esteem, thinking that he was very capable, and many maids in the house had a crush on him.After Yun Xi married in for a while, the old Wang fell in love with a rough servant girl in her yard——Shuangjiang and the others, he didn't have the guts to make a decision.
So she came to her to beg for this marriage. Yun Xi herself is not the kind of person who would casually point out marriages. Although that maid is not a beautiful person, she is also pretty and lovely. How could she want to marry a pockmarked and People with no future should fill in the house.
Naturally, she cried and said she didn't want to, so Yun Xi directly rejected the marriage on behalf of the old king.
She felt that Yun Shen was the right candidate.
The two talked about it for a while, and Mo Yan came back soon.
Yun Xi asked: "Aren't you going to keep guarding?"
Mo Yan said: "There just happened to be a cat coming, so I chased the cat."
Yun Xi understood in seconds.Under Mo Yan's seemingly serious appearance, there is a heart that loves cute things. For example, he really likes cats. You only need to inquire about this matter a little.
The person in Yang Jinxiu's hand should have deliberately used the cat to distract the ink smoke.If he failed to lure him away, how could he send Yang Jinxiu into the room?
Tsk, with limited people at hand, it is enough for Yang Jinxiu to be able to do this and make the most of what he can use.If she puts her skills on the right path, with her ability, it is really not difficult to find a good marriage.
But she also wanted to be Yun Shen's concubine wholeheartedly.On the contrary, her Yang Jinni, who was splashed with a lot of dirty water by her, really didn't do anything during this time, and she seemed to have given up her previous thoughts.Does this count as a thief calling for a thief?
……
Yun Xi was about to say something when Chuntao suddenly asked to see her outside the door, saying that she had something important to inform her about Shizi Yun.
Yun Xi guessed and knew that she must have been arrested.She looked at Yun Shen with a suppressed smile, "I'll just go out and have a look, but you don't come out." Well, it's not bad for people to fall directly from the sky to the clouds.
Yun Xi walked out, seeing Chun Tao kneel down in a panic in front of her, Yun Xi said indifferently; "What happened?"
Chuntao said in a flustered tone, "Slave, I have something to tell Madam, Madam must not be angry, otherwise it will be the fault of Madam."
After hearing this, Yun Xi found that Yang Jinxiu's heart was bigger than she imagined.As a wife who is seven months pregnant, if she hears her husband doing such a thing with another woman, she is afraid that she will be out of breath and move her fetus directly.If you can't keep the child from talking, it is very likely that you will hurt your body.
If things come true, she must finally vent her anger on Yang Jinni, the "real murderer behind the scenes".
She lowered her eyelids and smiled sweetly, "Just tell me, no matter what you say, I won't blame you."
Chuntao lowered her head and said: "The servant helped the young lady to rest in the nearby yard. She was a little hungry just now, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat. As a result... when the servant came back, she heard some bad movements in the room .”
She paused, and continued: "I heard that the elder son was resting in that room... I really didn't mean it." Her voice was full of tears, and she looked very remorseful.
"Madam, don't get angry. If something goes wrong with the child in your womb, it will be the servant's fault."
Yun Xi watched Chuntao acting in front of her, and was very curious about how she would react when she saw the real scene.
She said to Yindan: "Let's go to Sansongyuan."
Then lift your feet and go straight over.
Chuntao knelt on the ground and looked at Yun Xi's back, a look of pride flashed across her eyes.Even if she was beaten and sold off because of this incident afterwards, she was not afraid at all.The eldest lady has already made arrangements for her. At that time, she can bring a large amount of money and leave here incognito and live a happy life.
The wife of this world, who was praised by other officials in the capital as having everything in the sky and earth, was not played by the eldest lady in the palm of her hand, but that was all. In the future, in the fight between wives and concubines, she would definitely not be able to win against the outstanding eldest lady.
She got up from the ground and ran after her. Next, she had to pour dirty water on Second Miss.
……
Yun Xi was not the first person to come to Sansong Courtyard. Yun Mu and Yang Shi came one step ahead of her. They listened to the movement in the room, their faces as black as ink.
Broken groans and rough roars came from the room, and because of the mediocre sound insulation effect of the room, they were clearly heard in their ears. Anyone could guess what happened inside, and each of them lowered their heads, Minimize your presence.
When Yun Mu turned his head and saw his daughter-in-law approaching, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and he said, "Yun Xi, why are you here? Hurry up and go back to rest."
Yun Mu attached great importance to Yun Xi's pregnancy, so he naturally didn't want anything to happen. His first reaction was to temporarily suppress the matter, and keep Yun Xi from knowing, so as not to arouse the fetus.
Yang's face was full of remorse: If she had known that something like this would happen, she shouldn't have left her brother and sister-in-law's family behind. She originally thought that Jin Ni was the one who worried her the most, but she didn't expect Jin Xiu to be the one who went wrong in the end.She didn't think it would be a good thing for her niece to become Yun Shen's concubine, she could see Yun Shen's feelings for Yun Xi.I'm afraid they will be directly blamed afterwards.
She took a step forward and wanted to whitewash the peace, "I don't know which maid and guard did such a scandal. My master and I are about to teach them a lesson. It's cold and slippery, Yun Xi should go back to rest early."
Yun Mu also nodded, "Yes, this kind of picture is not suitable for you to watch."
Yun Xi said calmly, "Really? But Chuntao's maid told me that the people inside were Yang Jinxiu and Yun Shen?"
Seeing Yun Mu and Yang's complexion changed drastically, she showed a slight smile instead, "Speaking of which, I'm also a little curious. Could it be that when did Yun Shen have the technique of doppelganger? Resting in the yard, why did you come to this house again?"
Yun Mu was shocked, "You mean, it's not Yun Shen?" Then who is it?
Yun Xiyu smiled sweetly, "So I want to know too."
Chun Tao happened to rush over from the back door, and when she heard Yun Xi's words, she couldn't help being startled and angry, "How is that possible?"
(End of this chapter)
Yun Xi looked at Yang Jinxiu, who looked very sincere, and said in a playful tone, "Help you?"
Yang Jinxiu lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes made her look innocent and beautiful, "I don't want my stepmother to arrange a random marriage and ruin my life like this."
Yun Xi said lightly: "Why should I help you?"
Yang Jinxiu raised her head and looked at her seriously, "My younger sister was born beautiful, and my stepmother has high hopes for her, but our Yang family's family background is there. No matter what, we can't really marry Gao Big door."
She pursed her lips and continued: "From what I've seen, it seems that he wants to marry his younger sister to the eldest son as a concubine."
"Minnv is willing to help Mrs. Shizi inquire about news, but only asks Mrs. Shizi to find a proper marriage for Minnv. She doesn't want to be a wealthy family, rich and powerful, but only wants to be a couple for the rest of her life."
When she said this, her expression was firm, and her fair face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light, which was so loud and moving.
Yun Xi lowered her gaze, and said with a slight smile in her voice, "You are a smart person, and you don't think like your sister."
Yang Jinxiu said: "Before I met Madam, I also had such hopes... But after seeing Madam, I knew that my thoughts were superfluous. With Madam in front, I am afraid that Shizi Yun will not pretend anymore Why should I humiliate myself if I don’t want to leave others behind?”
She looked frank and frank, and she even said her little thoughts before, and her brows were full of sincere emotions.
Yun Xi sighed and said, "Get up."
Yang Jinxiu continued: "I heard that my sister wants to create a chance encounter with the son in the garden, Madam please be careful."
Yun Xi just hummed, indicating that she knew.
Yang Jinxiu thought she was extremely intelligent, but she couldn't read Yun Xi's inner thoughts from her face.Under normal circumstances, when someone hears that someone covets one's husband, one will inevitably get angry and lose one's composure. When the wife of the eldest son arrives, she is quite calm.
Yang Jinxiu didn't dare to look any further, she just stood up and quietly waited for her next step.
After a while, Yun Xi said: "I will judge for myself whether the matter is true or not. If what you said is true, then you will get what you want."
Yang Jinxiu was overjoyed and bowed profusely, "Thank you Madam Shizi."
Immediately turned and left.
After she left the courtyard, Yin Dan said with a smile: "This Miss Yang is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and she came here immediately to give you my allegiance."
Yun Xi rubbed her temples and said, "In comparison, Miss Yang Er is a bit simpler."
Among the three girls who came to pay their respects today, Yang Jinni was the one who was the easiest to understand.
Yun Xi said; "Beside the three of them, let's put a nail in there."
Yang Jinxiu seemed frank and sincere, but Yun Xi faintly felt that something was wrong, she paused, and said, "Then Madam Yang, we should also arrange one for her."
Yin Dan nodded, anyway, no matter who covets the son-in-law, they can't escape their eyes.
The five members of the Yang family were arranged to live in Yingyue Garden, which was closer to Yang's yard.Feng Yun's grandparent and grandson were arranged to live in Luoxue Courtyard, which was about 5 minutes' walk away from Yun Xi's courtyard.
Yang arranged four servant girls for each of their courtyards, and each of the three girls had a servant girl beside them.Yun Xi also took this opportunity to mix her people into it - of course she also greeted Yang Shi.
As Yang Jinxiu said, Yang Jinni did go to the garden that day.Yun Shen didn't usually go there at all, so he never met him.
Yun Xi also smiled and mentioned the three girls to Yun Shen, Yun Shen frowned directly, "Why lose your mind because of the three of them, if you don't like them, just don't let them come to the yard." He didn't want his wife to be pregnant You have to cheer up and deal with people.
Yun Xi smiled, "Left and right are fine now, it's interesting to watch the show."
It's really fun, at a young age, that little carelessness still looks a little immature in her eyes.She was still in the period of filial piety, and it was not easy to invite the so-called theater troupe on weekdays, but now she can be regarded as watching a good show.
Among the three, Yang Jinxiu was undoubtedly the one Yun Xi paid the most attention to, simply because she had done too much.
With the first snowfall in winter, Yun Xi was rarely in the mood to come, so she simply went to Meilin to admire the plum blossoms.
The plum blossoms in Yunfu are not only found in Meiyuan.Back then, Meng Zhiyun loved plum blossoms, and Yun Mu specially built a plum blossom grove to cater to her.
White snowflakes are falling down one after another, and the plum blossoms on the branches are in full bloom, becoming a beautiful scene in winter, and the unique warm fragrance of plum blossoms is lingering in the nose.
Yun Xi was wearing a white fox cloak, and she was holding Mrs. Tang in her hand. Yun Shen felt that it wasn't enough, and even used her internal energy to warm her hands, so even in this white snow, she didn't feel cold at all.
Suddenly, Yun Xi heard the sound of a piano not far away, melodious and melodious.
She looked at Yun Shen with some amusement, and a teasing smile appeared in her eyes.
Yun Shen's face immediately darkened, "It can be seen that our mansion is too generous, but it has caused the people below to have two hearts, and even our whereabouts can be revealed." He didn't think it would be someone from his yard As I said, the left and right are just those low-sighted servants.
Yun Xi laughed softly, as if she couldn't bear to shake the thin snow on the branches, "It's not even, it's just just right, let's go and have a look."
The sound of the piano is continuous, with a little lingering meaning.
Yun Xi and Yun Shen followed the sound of the piano, and the song just ended. Yang Jinxiu was wearing a pleated skirt embroidered with onion and yellow plum blossoms, and a cloak made of brocade with emerald patterns on a silver and white background. The plum blossoms, yellow pistils and white petals on her skirt , the same size as a real flower, complements the plum blossoms as the background, and the end is picturesque.
The smile on the corner of Yun Xi's mouth deepened—could it be that Yang Jinxiu said that he didn't want to marry as a concubine, but it wasn't the case in action?
Yang Jinxiu didn't seem to have seen them coming, she turned sideways to them, showing half of her pretty face, she put down the guqin in her hand, clasped her hands together, and said in a clear and pious voice, "Yang Jinxiu, the believer girl, fortunately, Mrs. We will take care of you, and I only hope that God can protect the wife of the eldest son in a safe and happy life, with good fortune and longevity, so that she can give birth to the future little son in peace."
Yun Shen looked at this seemingly very touching scene indifferently, with a murderous intent looming on his body. He hated people who used Yun Xi as a raft the most, as if Yun Xi would not be blessed without her prayers.
Yun Xi lowered her eyelids, she had to admit that this Yang Jinxiu was indeed a lot of drama.If other people saw this scene, they would definitely be moved by Yang Jinxiu's selfless, whole-hearted approach to being a human being.However, Yun Xi had read too many novels and so-called betrayal and calculation dramas in her previous life, and she only felt that it was full of routines.
It's amazing.
She intentionally accentuated the footsteps, and Yang Jinxiu seemed startled by the footsteps.
Turning around, a blush quickly appeared on her fair cheeks, she looked even more charming than the plum blossoms on the branches, "Shi, Mrs. Shizi..." She seemed to only see the existence of Yun Xi in her eyes, but never It fell on Yun Shen.
"I, I just want to pray for Mrs. Shizi in private..." She bit her lower lip, looked even more embarrassed, and lowered her neck slightly, "I heard Madam's words and deeds early in Beijing, and I admire them very much. I am even more fortunate to receive the occasional teaching from my wife, and I am extremely grateful. It's just that my wife is pregnant, so even if I am willing to serve you, I don't dare to disturb her too much. I wanted to pray for my wife in private..."
The breeze blew gently, and the plum blossom petals on the branches fell on Yang Jinxiu's body, the corners of her clothes fluttering, tender and lovely.
Yun Xi smiled slightly and said, "You have a heart."
Isn't it intentional?Before praying for blessings, she still didn't forget to play the piano and use the sound of the piano to draw people over. Do you really think she is a fool?
Yun Xi could still watch the play with great interest, but Yun Shen's expression was not so good.It's her business that Yang Jinxiu likes to plan, but she shouldn't use her brains on Yun Xi, which undoubtedly triggered Yun Shen's rebellion.
He said coldly: "Since you want to pray for blessings, then go to the Small Buddha Hall tomorrow and read a hundred volumes of scriptures and copy one volume of scriptures every day."
Yang Jinxiu didn't expect Yun Shen to have such a reaction. She wanted to explain something, but when she raised her head, her eyes met Yun Shen's ice-like eyes, and she trembled a few times.She is also a person with a very quick reaction, knowing that her behavior not only did not leave a good impression on Yun Shen, but also aroused his disgust, she whispered: "This is my blessing."
Yun Xi shook her head, "Jinxiu also has good intentions, why should you do this, the visitor is a guest."
There is no reason to punish guests for copying Buddhist scriptures.
Yun Shen snorted coldly, and in the end didn't say anything, but just pulled Yun Xi away.
After Yun Xi passed, someone gave Yang Jinxiu two bolts of silk as a comfort.
……
After the news that Yang Jinxiu nearly got punished for praying for blessings got out, Feng Dongxiang became more disciplined, and her grandmother's advice was kept in mind, not daring to forget.Yang Jinni, who was at odds with her and Yang Jinxiu, laughed out loud several times.If she didn't want the other servants of the Yunfu to see the joke, she would definitely run to Sister Di and scold Huai to express her anger.
She smiled and said to her mother, Mrs. Yang: "She usually likes to play with such little tricks to buy people's hearts. This is good, it can be regarded as kicking the iron plate."
Then he complained, "Mrs. Shizi is just too kind, why bother to intercede with her? You should let her recite Buddhist scriptures and meditate every day."
Mrs. Yang shook her head and said, "Madam Shizi is right to do this. Jinxiu is not even a distant relative in Yunfu. Even if she is punished, it will not be Shizi's turn, and she is not a woman in his backyard. Madam Shizi It’s just that I don’t want to fall into the trap.”
This lady of the world does this, and no one in the house praises her for being tolerant and kind.
Yang Jinni suddenly realized, sighed, and said: "Although Shizi is good-looking, it's just that he has a really bad temper and is moody. If he stays in front of him, he doesn't know how to make him angry."
Listening to her tone, she has completely let go of those original thoughts, and even felt that her previous thoughts were too naive and ridiculous.
Seeing that her daughter had really turned around completely, Mrs. Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "I heard that your aunt is inviting a lady these days. When the time comes, tighten your skin and learn from the lady."
"As for Mrs. Shizi, don't forget to walk around more, it will be good for your future."
Yang Jinni is a face control herself, she nodded and said: "Mrs. Shizi is pretty, and I am willing to look at her every day."
As for Shi Ziye, although he is more beautiful, he is too cruel, and he may be angered if he is not careful.After weighing it up, Yang Jinni felt that the next best thing was to look at Mrs. Shizi.
……
Yun Xi also admired Yang Jinxiu very much. After being severely slapped by Yun Shen, and even ridiculed by the servants of the Yunfu, Yang Jinxiu still showed a dignified and polite appearance in front of people, and seemed not to be saddened by those rumors.
During these days, these girls went to her yard to say hello to her every day, and Yun Xi decided according to her mood whether to meet them or not.If you are in a good mood, give them some pointers. If you are in a bad mood, it means that you are not feeling well today.
Mrs. Yang even invited two female gentlemen to come here specially for these girls, and they would explain the rules and etiquette on weekdays.Yun Xi also went to half a class, and she talked so-so, but she still couldn't compare to her mother Li and Zhang.But no matter what happened to Yun Xi, she would not take the initiative to say that she would lend the two nuns out to teach them.
When the female teacher started to teach them, the three girls naturally didn't have much time left to pay their respects to Yun Xi because of the need to attend classes—plus, Yun Xi never treated them with respect because of their coming every day and their respectful attitude. Treat them differently.
On the other hand, Yang Jinxiu has been like a day for decades. Every day after class, he comes to Yunxi's place, and gently reports to Yunxi about Yang Jinni's various little moves.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, after the usual greetings, she raised her head and said calmly: "Madam, my concubine, it seems that this New Year's Eve banquet is going to be a big one, Madam, please be careful."
After a few days of silence, Yang Jinxiu continued to inform Yun Xi.What puzzled her was: Even though she had already let Mrs. Shizi see her younger sister's "wolf ambition", why Mrs. Shizi was still indifferent.Could it be that she has so much confidence in Yun Shizi?
The corners of Yun Xi's mouth curled up slightly, "I know, thank you Jinxiu."
This is the first time she has said such words these days.
When Yang Jinxiu heard this, her eyes turned red instantly, and her voice was a little choked up, "It's my honor to be able to do things for Madam, I'm so tired."
Yun Xi took out the emerald jade hairpin Bu Yao from her dressing box, and said with a gentle tone, "I think this jewelry is very suitable for your vows."
Yang Jinxiu took it flattered, put the jewelry on her hair, then lowered her head, showing a shy smile.
After talking to her for a while, Yun Xi sent her away.
After Yang Jinxiu left, Shuang Jiang asked puzzledly, "I still don't understand what the girl is doing to promote her."
Because nails were planted around Yang Jinxiu and the others, Yun Xi and the others were not deceived by Yang Jinxiu's usual attitude of being only her.Yang Jinxiu is by no means as peaceful as she appears on the surface.
Even Mrs. Yang, who she said was very bad to her, was not as bad as she said, but she sincerely wanted to find a suitable marriage as soon as possible, and marry the prostitute daughter who was born earlier, so as to avoid her reputation from being ruined by her successor. The woman's many small actions made it worse and worse.
According to Yang Jinxiu, her younger sister, Yang Jinni, has a heart higher than the sky, and she wholeheartedly wants to seduce Yun Shen as a concubine, and from time to time, she wants to create so-called encounters in the garden, small encounters in the garden.
It's just that Yun Xi's investigation revealed that these actions were basically instigated by Yang Jinni's maid, Chun Tao, and her nanny Gui Mama.
Li Qiu even saw Yang Jinxiu secretly contacting Gui's mother in private, so the truth is self-evident.
Yang Jinxiu's deliberate plan was nothing more than to make her really think that Yang Jinni wanted to marry Yun Shen, and let Yun Xi deal with Mrs. Yang and Yang Jinni instead.
Therefore, after investigating these contents, the maids around Yun Xi were very dissatisfied with Yang Jinxiu. Yang Jinxiu simply deliberately used Yun Xi as a weapon.
Yun Xi felt that things might not be that simple.She was also very angry, Yang Jinxiu said, what is Yang Jinni's so-called big move.
She took a sliced apple and put it in her mouth, bit it lightly, and the taste of apple juice filled her mouth, "Let's see what tricks she has."
If it was before, she would have come up with various reasons to drive out a villain like Yang Jinxiu who likes to provoke.Maybe it's because I've been too boring recently, but in the end I chose to keep her so that I can continue watching the show.
She paused, and then said: "You said that Yang Jinxiu said with certainty that Yang Jinni is going to play a big move today, should I cooperate with her?"
Shuang Jiang and the others felt ashamed when they saw Yun Xi eager to try.My girl's bad taste is really getting stronger and stronger.
Speaking of which, the reason why Yun Xi has such confidence is because the matter is under her control, so she has no fear.She holds two powers in her hands, and she has buried nails around a few girls. It would be a joke if they could still be counted by a few girls in this situation.
At the New Year's Eve banquet at noon today, both Yun Shen and Yun Mu went to the palace for the banquet. As for Yun Xi, because she was pregnant, Yun Shen didn't want his wife to be tired, so he just turned away.
Yun Xi also felt that instead of eating those cold dishes in the palace, it would be better to stay at home and eat her hot soup.
Speaking of which, in the past few months, I don't know if it's because of the age of the month, she seems to be getting more and more lethargic.After Yun Xi had lunch, she went directly to take a rest.
After sleeping for almost an hour, Yun Xi suddenly felt a little hungry and woke up again.
Yin Dan asked the people below to serve bird's nest porridge and goat's milk pastry, and said in a low voice: "Yang Jinni's maid, Chun Tao, asked Yang Jinni for leave, left Yunfu, and went to the pharmacy to buy things."
Yun Xi smiled slightly and said, "What did she buy?"
Yin Dan blinked, and said quickly: "The ones I bought are all aphrodisiacs like Hehuansan, there are several kinds."
When Chuntao and Mother Gui met Yang Jinxiu in private, Yun Xi knew that these two people should belong to Yang Jinxiu, so that means that buying this medicine should be Yang Jinxiu's intention.Thinking about the so-called big things Yang Jinxiu said to her in the morning, I'm afraid that He Huan San will be used on Yun Shen.
"What kind of hatred is this? You have to calculate your sister like this."
Shuang Jiang said seriously: "A girl like this with ulterior motives, it's better for the girl to deal with her early."
Yun Xi nodded, "I remember you said earlier that Yang Jinxiu gave Chuntao and Nanny Gui a lot of things, right?"
Li Qiu nodded, "Those things should belong to her mother's dowry."
Yun Xi smiled softly, "That's fine, it can be considered as evidence."
Halfway through her conversation with Shuangjiang and the others, Yun Shen had already returned from the palace.He didn't want to bring the cold outside into the house, so he specially changed his clothes and re-warmed his cold hands before entering the house.
Yun Xi stretched out her arms to hug him, and told him about Yang Jinxiu's matter, with a smile, "Say, should we add fuel to the flames?"
As soon as Yun Shen heard it, he knew that his wife wanted to do something big, so he raised his eyebrows, "What are you going to do?"
Yun Xi said with deep meaning, "It all depends on what Yang Jinxiu wants to do."
……
This year's Yunfu's New Year's Eve dinner, although Yun Yi and Yun Shu were missing, it was more lively than usual.
Not only the daughter-in-law Yun Xi, but also the grandparents of Feng Yun's family and the Yang family.
Perhaps it was because of Yang's hard work and never causing trouble in these years, it was rare for Yun Mu to give Yang a face and let the Yang family follow him to the table.After all, logically speaking, Yang is a noble concubine, and her relatives are not considered serious relatives of the Duke's Mansion.
Yang's son is five years old this year, he is the most playful age, he looks aggressive, and he is not timid at all.
Yun Xi has always had a high tolerance for cute children, and seeing that he was not much different in age from her two cousins, she couldn't help but love him a little bit, and gave him a transparent jade pendant as a New Year's gift .Yun Mu and Yun Shen also gave gifts, especially Yun Mu, who also gave him a radiant necklace, which was very valuable at first glance.
Originally, Yang Jinxiu had always acted in a low-key manner on such occasions, and she didn't show her dew. Today, she didn't know if she drank too much, her cheeks were flushed, and she held a glass of fruit wine in her hand. cup, "I respect my sister-in-law this time, it's thanks to my sister-in-law for her teaching these days."
The water in Yun Xi's glass was toilet water mixed with sweet-scented osmanthus dew. She used water instead of wine and drank half of the glass as a compliment.No one had any doubts about her actions. First of all, she was pregnant, so she was not suitable for drinking alcohol. Secondly, everyone did not forget that Yun Xi was still in her filial piety period.
After Yang Jinxiu drank it all down, she filled another glass for herself, turned her head to Yun Shen and said, "The young girl acted recklessly earlier, which offended the Master, so I offer three cups to the Master today as an expression of apology."
Then he really drank three glasses of wine in one breath, his face was flushed, and his eyes were a little blurred.
A girl's family mustered up the courage to toast and apologize in front of a large crowd. If Yun Shen continued to haggle with her, it would be quite unreasonable.
Yun Shen's expression was calm. After drinking three glasses of wine, his expression was still clear.
However, Yun Xi noticed that he had clearly used his internal force to evaporate the alcohol in his body.
At this time, Chuntao's maid hurriedly pushed her young lady, and said in a low voice: "Miss, you should also go to toast, how can you make the young lady specialize in the front?" There was a hint of hatred in her tone. .
Yang Jinni thought it was the same, so she toasted with a wine glass.
Yun Shen has a good capacity for alcohol, plus he still has internal strength, even if he drinks dozens of cups, it's not a big problem.Yun Xi finally understood that he had gotten drunk in front of her repeatedly before, and it was clearly on purpose. If he didn't want to get drunk, it would be the same with ten catties of wine.
Both Yang Jinxiu and Yang Jinni toasted, and Feng Dongxiang, who had been eating food in silence, did nothing and made a symbolic toast.
The jug in front of Yun Shen was soon emptied, and the people below filled it with a new one.Cold wine hurts the stomach, so the wine at today's banquet was specially warmed.
The wine in the wine glass was crystal clear, and the faint aroma of the wine confused people's five senses.
Yun Xi, who was sitting next to Yun Shen, noticed that Yun Shen's hand seemed to have paused for a moment, and then, using the cover of his sleeve, he directly spilled the wine in the glass on the ground.
Yun Shen himself is not a targetless person, nor would he use this method to escape just because he doesn't want to drink.Unless there is something wrong with the wine... Yun Xi's eyes fell on the golden jug... After changing to a new jug of wine, Yun Shen didn't even touch his lips, so the problem was the wine.
Yun Shen pretended to be drunk, and Yun Xi ordered: "Help my son to Sansongyuan for a rest." Sansongyuan got its name from the three pine trees planted in the yard, and it was also the yard closest to the main hall.
Mo Yan and the others helped Yun Shen, who seemed a little drunk, to his feet, while Yun Xi stayed on the table to watch the follow-up development.
On the other side, because Yang Jinxiu drank a lot of wine, his head fell directly on the table.
Yang Jinxiu's seat was next to Yang Jinni's, and Yang Jinni's maid Chun Tao couldn't help but exclaimed, "Missy is drunk."
Getting drunk and falling on the table is a very unseemly behavior, let alone it happened to a girl.
Both Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang couldn't help but frown, obviously feeling that Yang Jinxiu had embarrassed the Yang family.
Madam Yang glanced at her, and frowned even tighter, "Where's Yang Liu?"
Yang Liu is Yang Jinxiu's eldest maid.
Yang Jinni said: "My sister was a little cold earlier, Yang Liu went back to the room to get clothes for my sister."
Chuntao said: "The servant will help the young miss to rest."
Yang did not doubt that he was there, she nodded and asked Chuntao to help Yang Jinxiu to rest in the yard.
Thoughts flashed across Yun Xi's eyes; now she can be sure that Yang Jinxiu is pretending to be drunk, normally a completely drunk person, a little maid who doesn't have much strength, can't help her up.It's not that Yun Xi has never met a real alcoholic.
In the previous life, Huanhuan was lovelorn and vomited in the toilet, reeking of alcohol.At that time, Yun Xi was not as powerful as she was later. The four girls in the dormitory used all their strength to change Huanhuan's clothes and help her take a good bath, making everyone miserable.
Chuntao helped Yang Jinxiu up, but it didn't look like it took much effort. It can be seen that Yang Jinxiu was cooperating with her. Chuntao was originally Yang Jinxiu's person... and then contacted Yun Shen who was sent to the nearest Sansongyuan to rest , and the Acacia powder she specially bought this morning, Yun Xi already understood Yang Jinxiu's purpose in her heart.
The intention was on Yun Shen.
Yang Jinxiu had vowed in front of her that she would never be a concubine, and she had repeatedly told her about her younger sister Yang Jinni's thoughts. Her ultimate goal was to gain her trust and make her a target by the way.The only thing she didn't expect was that Yun Xi didn't go to deal with Yang Jinni as she wished.
A hint of watching a good show appeared on Yun Xi's face, and she pretended to be a little tired.She can be said to be the most noble person in the Yun Mansion now, how dare the others make her so tired, they are in a hurry to let her go back to rest.
Back in her yard, Yun Xi saw Yun Shen inside the house.There was no trace of drunkenness on his white jade-like flawless face, which showed that he had never been drunk at all.
He helped Yun Xi onto the couch, and pulled her into his arms.
Yun Xi said helplessly: "Where is the need to be so careful?"
The corner of Yun Shen's lips curled up, and he directly talked about the wine at the banquet, "Sure enough, acacia powder was added to the wine. I knew it after just dipping it, so I poured it all out later."
Yun Xi said: "It was Yang Jinni's maid who went to buy the medicine, and that Chuntao was the one who sent Yang Jinxiu back. If the matter is exposed, others will only think that Yang Jinni instructed her personal maid to do this. She is still the most pitiful victim .”
Yun Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this routine is really unusual.First swear in front of her that she doesn't want to be a concubine, and ask Yun Xi to help find a suitable marriage.Then he was "framed" by his sister very pitifully, and lost his reputation.
In this case, as a proper victim, even if she became Yun Shen's concubine, Yun Xi couldn't blame her.
Yun Shen naturally also saw this, and said with a sneer, "It's really wishful thinking."
Yun Xi glanced at him with a smile, "If you come back like this, it would be a pity to let her calculations come to nothing. At least someone should be left there."
Since Yang Jinxiu wanted to be a concubine, he should give her someone.
The corners of Yun Shen's lips raised a dangerous arc, "I saw that the old king was old and had to keep guard in the cold wind. It was pitiful, so I rewarded him with my coat and let him go to the house to rest. Some. Let Mo Yan guard him at the door."
The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, this is a good show.Yang Jinxiu would think that the room was Yunshen, and one could imagine what would happen then.
"Which old king?" She asked curiously, there are several people surnamed Wang in Yunfu.
Yun Shen said calmly: "His wife passed away two years ago and left no heirs. Recently, he has been wanting to find another step-wife to add blood to him. Didn't he also take a fancy to your maid before?"
Yun Xi immediately thought of this strange creature named Lao Wang.It is said that he suffered from smallpox when he was a child, so there were many pockmarks on his face, and he had a high self-esteem, thinking that he was very capable, and many maids in the house had a crush on him.After Yun Xi married in for a while, the old Wang fell in love with a rough servant girl in her yard——Shuangjiang and the others, he didn't have the guts to make a decision.
So she came to her to beg for this marriage. Yun Xi herself is not the kind of person who would casually point out marriages. Although that maid is not a beautiful person, she is also pretty and lovely. How could she want to marry a pockmarked and People with no future should fill in the house.
Naturally, she cried and said she didn't want to, so Yun Xi directly rejected the marriage on behalf of the old king.
She felt that Yun Shen was the right candidate.
The two talked about it for a while, and Mo Yan came back soon.
Yun Xi asked: "Aren't you going to keep guarding?"
Mo Yan said: "There just happened to be a cat coming, so I chased the cat."
Yun Xi understood in seconds.Under Mo Yan's seemingly serious appearance, there is a heart that loves cute things. For example, he really likes cats. You only need to inquire about this matter a little.
The person in Yang Jinxiu's hand should have deliberately used the cat to distract the ink smoke.If he failed to lure him away, how could he send Yang Jinxiu into the room?
Tsk, with limited people at hand, it is enough for Yang Jinxiu to be able to do this and make the most of what he can use.If she puts her skills on the right path, with her ability, it is really not difficult to find a good marriage.
But she also wanted to be Yun Shen's concubine wholeheartedly.On the contrary, her Yang Jinni, who was splashed with a lot of dirty water by her, really didn't do anything during this time, and she seemed to have given up her previous thoughts.Does this count as a thief calling for a thief?
……
Yun Xi was about to say something when Chuntao suddenly asked to see her outside the door, saying that she had something important to inform her about Shizi Yun.
Yun Xi guessed and knew that she must have been arrested.She looked at Yun Shen with a suppressed smile, "I'll just go out and have a look, but you don't come out." Well, it's not bad for people to fall directly from the sky to the clouds.
Yun Xi walked out, seeing Chun Tao kneel down in a panic in front of her, Yun Xi said indifferently; "What happened?"
Chuntao said in a flustered tone, "Slave, I have something to tell Madam, Madam must not be angry, otherwise it will be the fault of Madam."
After hearing this, Yun Xi found that Yang Jinxiu's heart was bigger than she imagined.As a wife who is seven months pregnant, if she hears her husband doing such a thing with another woman, she is afraid that she will be out of breath and move her fetus directly.If you can't keep the child from talking, it is very likely that you will hurt your body.
If things come true, she must finally vent her anger on Yang Jinni, the "real murderer behind the scenes".
She lowered her eyelids and smiled sweetly, "Just tell me, no matter what you say, I won't blame you."
Chuntao lowered her head and said: "The servant helped the young lady to rest in the nearby yard. She was a little hungry just now, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat. As a result... when the servant came back, she heard some bad movements in the room .”
She paused, and continued: "I heard that the elder son was resting in that room... I really didn't mean it." Her voice was full of tears, and she looked very remorseful.
"Madam, don't get angry. If something goes wrong with the child in your womb, it will be the servant's fault."
Yun Xi watched Chuntao acting in front of her, and was very curious about how she would react when she saw the real scene.
She said to Yindan: "Let's go to Sansongyuan."
Then lift your feet and go straight over.
Chuntao knelt on the ground and looked at Yun Xi's back, a look of pride flashed across her eyes.Even if she was beaten and sold off because of this incident afterwards, she was not afraid at all.The eldest lady has already made arrangements for her. At that time, she can bring a large amount of money and leave here incognito and live a happy life.
The wife of this world, who was praised by other officials in the capital as having everything in the sky and earth, was not played by the eldest lady in the palm of her hand, but that was all. In the future, in the fight between wives and concubines, she would definitely not be able to win against the outstanding eldest lady.
She got up from the ground and ran after her. Next, she had to pour dirty water on Second Miss.
……
Yun Xi was not the first person to come to Sansong Courtyard. Yun Mu and Yang Shi came one step ahead of her. They listened to the movement in the room, their faces as black as ink.
Broken groans and rough roars came from the room, and because of the mediocre sound insulation effect of the room, they were clearly heard in their ears. Anyone could guess what happened inside, and each of them lowered their heads, Minimize your presence.
When Yun Mu turned his head and saw his daughter-in-law approaching, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and he said, "Yun Xi, why are you here? Hurry up and go back to rest."
Yun Mu attached great importance to Yun Xi's pregnancy, so he naturally didn't want anything to happen. His first reaction was to temporarily suppress the matter, and keep Yun Xi from knowing, so as not to arouse the fetus.
Yang's face was full of remorse: If she had known that something like this would happen, she shouldn't have left her brother and sister-in-law's family behind. She originally thought that Jin Ni was the one who worried her the most, but she didn't expect Jin Xiu to be the one who went wrong in the end.She didn't think it would be a good thing for her niece to become Yun Shen's concubine, she could see Yun Shen's feelings for Yun Xi.I'm afraid they will be directly blamed afterwards.
She took a step forward and wanted to whitewash the peace, "I don't know which maid and guard did such a scandal. My master and I are about to teach them a lesson. It's cold and slippery, Yun Xi should go back to rest early."
Yun Mu also nodded, "Yes, this kind of picture is not suitable for you to watch."
Yun Xi said calmly, "Really? But Chuntao's maid told me that the people inside were Yang Jinxiu and Yun Shen?"
Seeing Yun Mu and Yang's complexion changed drastically, she showed a slight smile instead, "Speaking of which, I'm also a little curious. Could it be that when did Yun Shen have the technique of doppelganger? Resting in the yard, why did you come to this house again?"
Yun Mu was shocked, "You mean, it's not Yun Shen?" Then who is it?
Yun Xiyu smiled sweetly, "So I want to know too."
Chun Tao happened to rush over from the back door, and when she heard Yun Xi's words, she couldn't help being startled and angry, "How is that possible?"
