The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 286
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes dangerously, "So you haven't come back for so many days because you were worried that I would find you injured?"

Although the tone was calm, it was clearly the calm before the storm, and a storm was about to break out at any moment.

Yun Shen coughed, with a guilty tone, and said, "It's really not a serious injury." It's not that he hasn't suffered more serious injuries in the past few years, but it's just that he doesn't want to make her worry.

Yun Xi directly tore off his clothes, revealing a lean but fleshy chest. Near the heart, there was a long scar, which had not yet scabbed completely, like a centipede hovering over it, fierce and ferocious.

Yun Xi glared at him, her tone became more and more unfriendly, "Is this the so-called minor injury?"

Yun Shen put on his clothes again, his movements were elegant and leisurely, he stared at Yun Xi quietly, the corners of his mouth curled up, "It's really not a serious injury, if the other party hadn't almost hurt Master Li at that time, I wouldn't have been hurt either." It hurts."

"But this time, the so-called big fish was also caught." His eyes turned cold, and there were specks of murderous intent brewing in his eyes that were as dark as the night.

Yun Xi put her slender fingers on his clothes, buttoned the first button of his clothes, and said, "Could it be that the big fish you caught is from the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Judging from Lin Miaoqin's return to Beijing, it is obvious that she is involved with the second prince behind the scenes.

Yun Shen nodded, "The officials involved in the account book have swallowed at least 20 taels of silver. I am afraid that this money will be sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Yun Xi couldn't help grinding her teeth. She worked hard in the capital, organizing a charity event and a disaster relief party, but later on someone handed money to the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and she couldn't help being angry.

Yun Shen held her hand, played with her fingers, and said calmly, "Don't panic, His Majesty has already known these people, and they will settle their accounts after the fall. That money...will not fall into the hands of the Northern Wei Dynasty."

This is equivalent to betraying the country!

Yun Xi was surprised, "They are also officials of the Great Chu, why did they help the Northern Wei?"

The smile on Yun Shen's face was a bit cold, "It's just a petition."

"In the first two months of the Northern Wei Dynasty, [-] soldiers were secretly sent to the Valley of No Return."

No return to the valley, as the name suggests, there is no return.

Yun Shen said: "The Northern Wei Dynasty should have cracked the secret of the Valley of No Return, so they hid their troops in it. If some spies from the Northern Wei Dynasty hadn't secretly sent news a few days ago, we, Da Chu, would still be kept in the dark."

If a war is launched, what is most needed is food and grass.In order to deal with successive snowstorms and floods, Da Chu sent a lot of food relief to the affected areas.The Northern Wei Dynasty obviously had the idea of ​​this food relief.If things are done, there is no shortage of food and grass in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and this can be used to make Da Chu fall into the quagmire.This calculation was resounding. If Yun Shen hadn't listened to Yun Xi's words and used those monks to put a lot of eyeliner in the Northern Wei Dynasty, he might not have known the news.

When he thought of this, his eyes became sharp, murderous intent looming.

After hearing what he meant, Yun Xi probably understood, and asked again: "Why does the other party want the account book so much?"

Looking at her curious eyes, Yun Shen couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed her eyes.He hadn't seen his wife for many days, so he couldn't bear the thought of getting close.

Yun Xi felt that the temperature of this kiss was getting hotter and hotter. The corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pushed him, her tone was a little embarrassing, but it was mostly shame, "Be serious! You're talking about business!"

Don't move your hands!
It's a pity that Yun Shen came back this time to hide the secrets from all the eyeliners who were staring at the Yun family. Even if Yun Xi wanted to fork him out, he couldn't.

Yun Shen smiled lowly, his chest trembled slightly, and his tone was a little more charming and ambiguous, "Is what I'm doing now not a business? Passing on the family line, this is a first-class important thing."

She believed in his evil!

His lips stretched continuously from the corners of his eyes to the corners of his mouth.

Even though there were already two ice basins in the room, Yun Xi felt that the temperature didn't seem to drop, but got hotter and hotter instead.

……

Yun Xi looked out of the window, the sun rises early in summer, with such a delay, the sun will come out in about a quarter of an hour.

She felt lazy all over and didn't want to move at all.

"The most important things have been done..." When Yun Xi said the word "important", she couldn't help but want to grind her teeth again, "Should you tell me what's wrong with that account book?"

Yun Shen put his hands on Yun Xiguang's bare back, making small movements from time to time.If it wasn't for Yun Xi being quite tired now, she would have just clapped her hands and knocked his hand off.

"The officials involved in the account book are just pawns on the surface. To be precise, they are useless pieces."

Yun Shen's voice was full of satisfaction, "The other party tried every means to get the ledger. On the one hand, they want us to feel that the ledger is very important, and focus all our attention on those useless people, so that we can easily let go of those who are buried deeper. .”

Yun Xi nodded, she also felt that the other party would not be so stupid.

"Another reason is that the original account book does hide the real people." Yun Shen is different from other men, he likes to keep these things from his wife.In his eyes, if he couldn't even trust Yun Xi, then there would be no one in this world he could trust.

"As long as the ledger is soaked in lime water for half a day, some words on it will be displayed."

Yun Xi didn't ask who those buried deeper were, anyway, Chu Xiyuan would definitely deal with it.She propped herself up with her hands, her hair was scattered, the dark black was a touch unmatched by the best satin, it formed a stark contrast with her fair skin, there was a kind of beauty intertwined with purity and charm.

"Then should I send the ledger?"

She only cared about what she was going to do next.

Yun Shen said casually: "Then give it away, it can be regarded as a blessing to the other party, the other party has planned so hard."

In this way, pushing the boat smoothly can also lower the opponent's embankment.

Yun Shen said: "But you should pay attention. It just so happened that the eldest daughter of Marquis Pingcheng invited many people to admire the lotus at the Guanyin Temple."

Yun Xi understood what Yun Shen meant, and the other party set the time and place exactly there, obviously planning something.Bao Buqi wanted to design Yun Xi.

According to Lin Miaoqin's resentment towards her, it is very possible.

Yun Xi stroked her chin, so she wouldn't be so stupid as to risk herself.

She blinked, already having an idea in her mind.

Yun Shen lowered his head to catch a glimpse of the sly smile in her eyes, and his heart moved slightly.

However, Yun Xi sat up directly, put on her clothes slowly, and carried out her ruthlessness to the end, "You should go."

Obviously, it will take a few days for Yun Shen to appear in front of people.The person is seen and seen, the bed is laid, and everything that should be known is known, so someone can leave naturally.

Yun Shen's eyelids couldn't help twitching, don't cross the river too fast and tear down the bridge.The most irritating thing is that this person doesn't seem to show any reluctance at all, obviously he will have a few days before he can appear in front of people.

He didn't hold back, but still bit Yun Xi's neck lightly, but he couldn't bear to say something that really made him swear, it was just an insignificant hickey on Yun Xi's neck .

After Yun Xi put on all the clothes, Yun Shen had already disappeared into the room.

If it wasn't for the warmth remaining on the pillow and the traces on the bed, she couldn't help but wonder if the meeting just now was just a dream.

She was about to get off the bed when there was a knock on the door, obviously it was Yin Dan.

Although Yin Dan is Yun Xi's personal servant girl, before entering the door, she will habitually knock on the door with a very soft voice. If Yun Xi wakes up, she can just come in to serve her. If she hasn't woken up, then Just don't wake her up for a while.

"come in."

Yun Xi's voice was a little lazy.

Yin Dan has served the couple for many years. When she came in, she smelled the smell in the room and didn't understand what happened. She closed the door directly, her voice lowered a lot, as if she was a thief, "Girl, my uncle last night came back?"

Yun Xi nodded, it's okay to let Yindan Shuangjiang and the others know about it, Yun Xi doesn't think these maids will betray her.

Yin Dan nodded, showing a little smile, "It's good that my uncle is fine." Seeing that my uncle is not here now, she also guessed that this matter must be concealed.The girl and uncle must have their reasons for making this decision, and what she has to do is to help them cover it up.

Yun Xi glanced at her sideways, "You never thought that Hong Xing would have sex with her."

Yin Dan snickered, "Young lady's heart is high, I'm used to seeing my uncle's face, how can I look up to other people?"

Yun Xi tilted her head, feeling that what the maid said made sense.

Yin Dan put away the bed and said seriously: "According to the time, it is indeed time to wash this quilt."

Yun Xi couldn't help giving her a blank look, and combed herself a simple long bun, wearing a suet white jade hairpin, and applying a little rouge to her lips to make a little vermilion, no need to apply other rouge and gouache , is already beautiful and moving enough.

Because of Yin Dan's help to deal with the traces, the traces of Yun Shen's infiltration last night were quickly wiped away.

Li Qiu took a piece of cloth, and said happily, "Girl, this is the bone-shaking gauze sent by Lai San, what do you think?"

"Bone gauze? Is this new? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Li Qiu smiled, "Yes, it is said that it was made in the southern area. He happened to pass by and found this good thing, so he bought a lot of it. I don't think it's bad."

Li Qiu has been by Yun Xi's side for many years, and her vision has grown a lot. She can describe it as not bad, which shows that this thing has its own advantages.

Yun Xi touched the smooth yarn with her hand, and immediately understood its benefits. Its texture was cold and refreshing, no wonder it was called bone-stimulating yarn.It is indeed very comfortable to wear the gown made of this gauze in summer, and its cool feeling makes people linger on.

Yun Xi asked: "How much did he buy this thing?"

Li Qiu said: "He directly cooperated with the mountain people over there. He collected four or five thousand horses in the vicinity, selected the best hundred horses, and sent them to us. He plans to sell the rest directly."

Yun Xi nodded, bone gauze must be very popular in summer, there is no need to worry about losing sales.

She laughed and said, "See if we can learn the method. Our own textile factory can also make these things. You guys will also go to the warehouse to get one to make clothes." A piece of cloth is considered a waste of fabric, At least five or six clothes can be made.

Li Qiu smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss."

Yun Xi also planned to divide up these bone-shaking yarns and distribute them to their relatives and friends according to their relationship.

After she finished drinking a cup of jujube tea, Shuang Jiang walked in and nodded slightly, "Girl, Miss Guan is here."

The Guan girl she was talking about was Nanny Hua's granddaughter Guan Qiu, who would occasionally come over to say hello to Yun Xi.

"Let her in."

Guan Qiu was quickly led in. She was wearing a pink dress, taking advantage of the tear mole at the corner of her mouth to look even more pretty.

After greeting us, Guan Qiu took out a small coat and two purses, his cheeks blushed slightly, "This is the clothes I made for the little princess in the past few days, Madam treats us so well, so even if you know Madam I don’t need these, but I still want to make something to express my heart.”

The corners of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, and she said, "You have a heart."

She took Guan Qiu's things, flipped through them, and had to admit that this girl's embroidery is really good, not at all inferior to the embroiderers in their house. The materials are also good, and the fine cotton cloth is very suitable for babies. .The lotus flowers of the season are also embroidered on the small middle coat, which can be described as lifelike.

But no matter how well she did it, Yun Xi would not put it on for her daughter.The underwear and clothes that Zhuzhu wears are all sewn by her confidants, so she is really worried about other people's words.

Yun Xi asked someone to cut another piece of bone gauze that had just been put into the warehouse, and said: "Although this thing is not as good as cloud silk, it is better to wear it in summer to cool off the heat, so you can take some back with you."

She also asked to add two purses containing silver naked seeds and a bag of yam cake with date paste.Nanny Hua really likes this melt-in-your-mouth pastry.

After Guan Qiu thanked him, he said a few auspicious words to Yun Xi and left.

Yun Xi pulled herself together and began to look through the account books of the past few days. She is not idle every day in the mansion.

……

Guan Qiu got off the carriage, hugged the Xinggusha, and thanked the driver, "Thank you, big brother."

The driver put his hand on his hat and nodded, "It's nothing, I'm just following Miss Li Qiu's orders."

When Guan Qiu heard the word Li Qiu, his eyebrows twitched unconsciously. She was only a little girl, so she entered the small courtyard of her own house.Although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, the yard has been tidy and tidy by their grandparents and grandchildren, full of the warmth of home, and the yard is full of eggplants and vegetables.

With these green vegetables, they saved some money to buy vegetables.

Nanny Hua asked, "Have the things been delivered?" Nanny Hua also took a few pairs of shoe soles for her granddaughter to send along.She didn't have any other intentions in doing this, she just wanted to do her best because she felt that she was being taken care of by Madam and the others in the capital.

Guan Qiu looked at the cotton clothes on his grandmother, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.For ordinary people, cotton cloth is a good cloth, but it is far different from the wealth of the Princess Mansion.In the princess mansion, even the gatekeepers are better dressed than their family.

Is this the so-called rich and powerful?The sum of all the things in the courtyard where they live may not be worth more than a tea tray casually used by the wife.

Guan Qiu pursed his lips, "Grandma, why don't you go back to the house?"

The grandmother is the nanny of the old lady, if she stays in the princess mansion, she must be offered respectfully.

Nanny Hua smiled slightly, and said, "Even if I stay there, I can't do anything for the young master and his wife, so why go in?"

She glanced at Guan Qiu and said, "Although I am the wife's nanny, I have never taken care of the young master. How can I have the face to stay there and rely on the old to sell the old? It is their kindness that we can have such a peaceful and peaceful life. Wangwang can't win Longwangshu. By the way, what are you holding in your hand? Is it from Madam? Madam is too polite."

Guan Qiu lowered his head, bit his lower lip, and suppressed that bit of unwillingness.Her hand gently caressed the bone gauze—she had never thought of owning such a good thing before entering the capital.

She recalled Madam's lazy expression, and the red dot on her neck that she saw at a glance, subconsciously lowered her voice, and said, "Grandma... the young master has not returned home for a long time, and even bad news spread frequently. But I see Madam... she doesn't look worried at all."

"Fortunately, in front of outsiders, she still looked worried about the young master and got sick."

"Madam, she is not worthy of the young master's deep love."

Guan Qiu was living in Yunfu at that time, and what he heard the most were the maids in Yunfu talking about how the young master loved his wife so much, and after having her, he couldn't let others go.Even if there is a beauty who recommends a pillow mat, she ruthlessly refuses, saying that the madam and the young master are a heavenly figure, the other is beautiful, and they are a perfect match.

Thinking of the scene he saw when he greeted him in the morning, Guan Qiu couldn't help but feel sorry for the young master.

she!How could she let the young master down and do such a scandal?

Nanny Hua has eaten more salt than her granddaughter has ever eaten rice. When she heard this, her first reaction was that she was afraid that the young master would be safe, but that there was something that could not be shown to others temporarily.Her tone was a little harsh, and she said: "Okay, such nonsense is not allowed. What kind of person is the young master? Anyone who can win his heart and soul must be worthy of him."

Moreover, she has met Madam several times, and whenever she talks about the young master, the affection in her eyes is not deceiving.

When Guan Qiu was reprimanded by her grandmother, she became rebellious, and her voice was aggrieved, "I'm really right." She was anxious, and told her grandmother what she saw in the morning.

"The young master just disappeared for a while, and she couldn't keep it... It's just..."

She couldn't speak the words that followed.

Nanny Hua said sharply: "Bury this matter in your heart and don't let it out. Young Mistress is not the kind of person you said you were."

"Maybe it involves a plan between the two of them."

Although Guan Qiu was still unconvinced, he still insisted on his own opinion.It's just that she knew that her grandma would never believe her words, so she could only forcefully suppress her displeasure.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the time mentioned in the letter, and Yun Xi asked people to gather up the ledger and put it in a small cloth bag.

Originally, she wanted to choose a servant girl to dress up as her to go to Ci'an Temple, but after thinking about it, she felt that it would be bad if the little girl was accidentally recruited.After a little thought, Yun Xi already had an idea.

She coughed lightly, and called Li Qiu over, "See if I can find a handsome young man with a stature similar to mine."

Seeing that Li Qiu was puzzled, Yun Xi explained a little more, "I plan to ask the other party to deliver the account book instead of me. Anyway, once the veil is put on, who knows who it is."

Li Qiu immediately understood, and said with a smile: "It really is a good idea."

She couldn't help laughing when she thought of the good boy dressed up as a girl.

Li Qiu turned around and went to arrange this matter. There were quite a few people in the house of masters, and she quickly found a suitable partner.The boy was about 13 years old. He put two small cloth bags on his chest, tried his best to tie his waist with a belt, and finally changed into the clothes Yun Xi usually wears. Put it on and sit over there, people who don't know really think it's Yun Xi.

Li Qiu also put in a lot of effort to find the right candidate.

The handsome young man was still a little reluctant to wear women's clothes, with a sad face, if it wasn't for Yun Xi who was ordering him, he would have run away long ago.Speaking of which, the boy's name is Zhao Liu, and he is also Lai Sanshou's disciple.

Yun Xi said directly: "If you do well, I will personally give you a sword in a few days."

She hasn't forged a sword for a long time, because she doesn't need to make a move.Although the group of people taught below are not as capable as hers, they are quite capable.The swords that Yun Xi forged before would become legends, and the ones that can be obtained are all of the confidant level of Wanshiwu and Yinmen.

As soon as Zhao Liu heard this, he didn't dislike wearing women's clothing at once, and smiled happily.

Yun Xi also planned to go to see a wave of good shows. After Zhao Liu got dressed and left with the account book, she also changed into a skirt she didn't usually wear, put on a veiled hat, and set off for Guanyin Temple together.

……

June is the hottest period of the year. Yun Xi was sitting in a small carriage with a basin of ice placed inside, but it still couldn't dispel too much heat.

In order not to attract attention, she deliberately chose a small carriage without much decoration.The carriage followed Zhao Liu's carriage unhurriedly one after the other.

After arriving at Ci'an Temple, Yun Xi got out of the car.

Zhao Liu had already walked gracefully to the agreed wing.Speaking of which, this boy is also a natural acting school. Before he set off, he even thought about the woman's walking posture. After practicing for half an hour, he walked decently.

Yun Xi was the only one who asked him to wear a jade pendant made of green luan wood just in case, and this young man also had kung fu skills, so Yun Xi was not worried that something would happen to him.

She didn't take off the hood, but walked slowly to the backyard.

It's not too far from the wing room over there, which is only 60 meters away.

Yun Xi looked at the lotus pond in the center. Last year, Ci'an Temple transplanted a lot of lotus.As soon as the wind blows, it brings a faint fragrance of lotus, and the greenery itself can give people a refreshing feeling.

A row of willow trees are planted around the pond, weeping willows, and the greenery is everywhere.

Yun Xi suddenly heard Yingying Yanyan's voice.

She turned her head, just in time to see a group of young girls walking over, laughing and laughing.The leading girl is not as fair as Da Chu's pursuit, but has a healthy wheat color, and her appearance is familiar.

Yun Xi's eyebrows twitched, isn't this Shu Erya, the flower of the prairie?This Shu Erya fell in love with Wen Yanhui at first sight at Chu Xiyuan's [-]th birthday party, and because of him, she still did not marry at the age of twenty.

Now it is directly chasing after Da Chu.

Yun Xi knew in her heart that this should be the flower viewing banquet held by the eldest daughter of Pingcheng Marquis that Yun Shen was talking about, but she did not expect that she would also invite Shu Erya.When Mingyue came to the house a few days ago, she also talked about Shu Erya's visit to Dachu. Her impression of Shu Erya was neither good nor bad.

Qu Sang, the eldest daughter of Marquis Pingcheng, is a legendary figure. It is said that she was in poor health when she was a child. After being shown to her by several masters, she said that she can only be healthy after entering Buddhism. Her family does not want her to continue to be weak. , and sent her to Guanyin Temple to practice on her behalf.Strange to say, she was getting better after being always sick every three days.After waiting for a long time, he returned to the Hou's mansion and appeared in front of people.

Perhaps because he grew up in Guanyin Temple, Qu Sang has a lot of affection for this place, and even chooses this place for the flower viewing feast.

Yun Xi herself was wearing a veiled hat, and her attire was inconspicuous, and the girls just regarded her as a pilgrim who came to offer incense, and didn't pay much attention to her.

Yun Xi had nothing to do, but admired the lotus in the pond.

At this time, the lotus is blooming just right, slim and graceful, like a slim girl.

Those girls have already started to write poems in front of the lotus.

Yun Xi listened to her ears, and Shu Erya was the one with the lowest level. After all, she is a prairie native, and the prairie respects force, so she doesn't pay much attention to talent and learning.Her poems can only be called doggerel.

On the contrary, Qu Sang's level is the highest, but although the poems are good, there is a sense of coldness.Qu Sang's concubine sister, Qu Hong, is not at a low level. Compared with her elder sister, her poems are more dignified and generous.

Since it is a poem review, it is natural to score high and low. Everyone agrees that the poems of the Qujia sisters are the best, but there is no conclusion as to which of the two is better.There are those who like Qu Sang's beauty, and those who like Qu Hong's elegance, both stick to their own opinions.

In comparison, Yun Xi actually likes Qu Sang's poems better. Although they are a little colder, the poems are transparent, while her sister Qu Hong's poems are a bit vulgar.

Yun Xi asked Li Qiu in a low voice, "According to logic, shouldn't Qu Sang win?"

When the poems on both sides are almost as good, people will be more inclined to people with noble status.

As the eldest daughter of Marquis Pingcheng, Qu Sang has a natural advantage over her concubine sister Qu Hong.

Li Qiu said in a low voice: "Qu Sang's mother died young, and she was sent to Guanyin Temple when she was young, so Marquis Ping Cheng didn't have a deep relationship with her. Qu Hong's biological mother was Marquis Ping Cheng's concubine, and Marquis Ping Cheng loved her the most. This daughter."

Yun Xi immediately understood, and was a little speechless.I'm afraid that among the people invited today, many of them were handed over by Qu Hong's handkerchief.

Grassland princess Shu Erya saw that the two sides were still arguing, and suddenly saw Yun Xi standing not far away, pointed at her and said, "Isn't there another person over there? Just let her choose."

Qu Hong frowned and said, "At first glance, it looks like a small family, how can there be such a level of appreciation."

There was a slight disdain in his tone.

Qu Sang said calmly, "I don't have any objections."

Shu Erya curled her lips and asked someone to invite Yun Xi over.

The distance between Yun Xi and them was not too far, so she heard Qu Hong's words, and she naturally felt a little bit displeased with her.

She walked over with Li Qiu, and a girl smiled and said, "Can this girl comment on these two poems for us?" Then she read both poems.

Yun Xi said: "Miss Qu's poems are beautiful and refined, and won my heart. As for Miss Qu's poems, although they are good, the words are a bit vulgar. From the perspective of poetry, she is just a layman, so there is nothing to say of."

Qu Hong was so angry that her face turned red. She was shut up at home because of being spoiled, and seeing that Yun Xi's dress was just ordinary, she couldn't help but angrily said: "My poems are not something that any cat or dog can comment on."

Yun Xi snorted coldly, could this be from embarrassment to anger?
She was about to speak when suddenly there was a scream, and the voice came from the side room.

The two maids rushed out with panic on their faces.

Shu Erya loves to watch the excitement, so she quickly stopped them, "What happened?"

Her Da Chu dialect is now very standard.

The lips of the maid in Tsing Yi trembled, "Well, there are people in that wing who are doing mediocre things."

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched - Zhao Liu?
The other servant girl's face was pale, but a trace of excitement flashed in her lowered eyes, "I just saw Mrs. Yun enter that room."
