The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 289 doorman, strange
It is said that this troupe was bought by Yang Yeqing's natal family and given to her. Yun Xi thought it sounded good, and it was not much worse than Lu Yiran's own troupe.It's just that she is not a person who particularly likes to listen to operas, and she gets a little bored after listening to the two folds.

The same is true for Zhuzhu. She is a child of Jiajia. At the beginning, it was still fresh to listen to the opera, but later she thought about going down to play.

Seeing her like this, Yun Xi sent someone to tell Yang Yeqing, "I'll go to the garden to blow some air."

Seeing the unhappy face of this little ancestor, she had better take her away first, so as not to wait for Zhuzhu to cry directly.

Yang Yeqing said: "Concubine Su was not feeling well a few days ago, Mrs. Yun has a good relationship with her, it's better to go and see her."

Yun Xi was still wondering why she didn't see Su Wan today, it turned out that it was because she was sick.She nodded, and led Zhuzhu directly to Su Wan's yard.

Dai Yanling really liked going to the theater, but her precious son seemed impatient, so Yun Xi simply brought Wen Yao along with him.

Dai Yanling had a close relationship with her, and was not polite to her.

Yun Xi originally planned to hold Wen Yao with his left hand and Zhuzhu with his right hand, but Wen Yao insisted on holding hands with Zhuzhu, so Yun Xi simply complied with him.Because the two little kids walked and listened, what should have been a few minutes' journey was turned into a quarter of an hour.

When they arrived at Su Wan's yard, thin beads of sweat oozed from the foreheads of the two children.

The maids in Su Wan's yard hurriedly fetched two basins of hot water, and after twisting the wet towels, they gently wiped the sweat off their bodies.

When she came over, Su Wan was holding a volume of books in her hand, leaning against the bed with a calm expression.She was very happy to see Yun Xi, "You're here."

Her house has never had too many gorgeous decorations, mostly calligraphy and paintings, which has an elegant taste.

Su Wan put down the book and said with a smile: "There is a toy room next to me, let the two children play there."

Yun Xi also saw this so-called dollhouse. The floor was covered with soft and clean blankets, and some children's favorite toys were scattered on it, such as rattles, jigsaw puzzles, building blocks, and big puppets. .

Su Wan pursed her lips and smiled, "This is still like your dollhouse. The little prince also likes it very much."

She and Yang Yeqing belonged to the same camp, and when Yang Yeqing was overwhelmed, she would throw her son directly to Su Wan's side.

Yun Xi has nothing to worry about on her side, leaving Yin Dan and Xing Yue to watch the two children, and then went back to the room with Su Wan.

Su Wan ordered someone to serve a glass of honey water because Yun Xi was pregnant.Looking at Yun Xi's rosy complexion, she knew that her life was going extremely smoothly, and she was not without envy in her heart.It's just that since she chose to bet her whole life to take revenge on her father, there is no need to regret it.

"By the way, I have found some clues about the book you asked me to find earlier."

Su Wan never asked Yun Xi to look for the so-called book. She has always been smart, so she didn't understand that it was just an excuse. Yun Xi had something to say to her.

She directly found an excuse, sent the other people in the room away, and gave her a sideways glance with a smile, "What's the matter? Do you want to ask me?"

Yun Xi said: "Then what happened to Hu Jinxuan?"

Su Wan said: "This Hu family was given to the lord by the people below. According to the people in the mansion, it is as noble as a plum blossom and as cold as moonlight. Now the lord is very concerned about her and even made her a concubine."

With Hu Jinxuan's status, being the concubine of the third prince is quite remarkable, which shows Chu Ling's love for her.

Thinking of Ruan Wenshan before and Hu Jinxuan now, the corners of Yun Xi's mouth twitched.This Chu Ling is good at politics, but he really doesn't have a good eye for women. Look at what he likes.

Both Yang Yeqing and Su Wan have abandoned these two, but he treats them indifferently.Using the means of managing officials in the backyard, insisting on creating a so-called check and balance, Yun Xi really looked down on him.

Su Wan looked at her curiously, "Why did you suddenly ask about Concubine Hu?"

Yun Xi didn't hide anything from her, and told about her encounter with Hu Jinxuan back then.

Su Wan was stunned, and when she heard the laughing behind her, she didn't have the usual demeanor of a lady from a family, especially when she heard about Hu Jinxuan's front tooth falling out.After she burst into tears, she was puzzled again: "I think Mrs. Hu's teeth are pretty good. It's just that she doesn't smile very much and looks as cold as ice."

But Chu Ling just followed suit, feeling that the other party didn't treat him differently because of his status.It's just that Hu Jinxuan's status is over there, and she hasn't given birth to a son or a daughter. Even if Chu Ling likes this concubine, she won't be able to lift her up as a side concubine.

Thinking of Chu Ling, traces of sarcasm appeared in Su Wan's eyes.

Yun Xi said: "It seems that she doesn't know how to repair the missing front teeth." She was really curious about this.

Su Wan smiled softly, "I can guess a thing or two, the teeth should be made of jade similar to the color of the teeth, and put in the mouth."

"There are not many craftsmen with this skill. It can be seen that the Hu family has put a lot of thought into it."

After the two chatted for a while, the nanny next to Yang Yeqing came with Chu Tianzhan, followed by two maids.

Chu Tianzhan's appearance has made the best of Chu Ling and Yang Yeqing's advantages, and he can tell at a glance that he will be a handsome man when he grows up.

Yang Yeqing's nanny was very affectionate towards Su Wan, "The little prince said he wanted to play with the little princess."

Seeing Chu Tianzhan staring at her without blinking, Yun Xi asked softly, "Does the little prince still remember me?"

Chu Tianzhan tilted his head, and his eyes were a little confused. He felt that the person in front of him was very familiar and gave him a kind feeling, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it in his small head.

He tried hard to think back with a bitter face, his expression was almost tangled, and he directly amused Yun Xi.She hugged Chu Tianzhan, feeling heavy.She tried to send another supernatural power into Chu Tianzhan's body.

Chu Tianzhan seemed to feel it, and couldn't help showing a big smile, and arched into Yun Xi's arms.

Su Wan remembered that Yun Xi was pregnant, afraid that the child would accidentally hurt Yun Xi, so she hugged Chu Tianzhan down.

Chu Tianzhan usually likes the gentle Aunt Su, but he prefers this beautiful sister who is familiar to him more than Aunt Su, so he pouted with a displeased expression on his face.

Su Wan was very annoyed, "Usually she said she liked me, but when she saw Yun Xi, she forgot about me." When Yang Yeqing was busy, she often helped take care of Chu Tianzhan, so her relationship with him was not good. very close.

The nanny also felt strange looking at it, and said: "I didn't expect Xiao Shizi to be so sympathetic with Mrs. Yun."

She remembered that when Xiao Shizi was arresting Zhou, he grabbed Mrs. Yun.

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, she had no choice but to please children and animals.She coaxed Chu Tianzhan softly, "How about going to play with my sister?"

The reason why she gave Chu Tianzhan the power was that on the one hand, she found that her power had an unexpected effect on him, and on the other hand, it was for the sake of Yang Yeqing and Su Wan.

Chu Tianzhan thought of his very cute younger sister. He wanted to play with his younger sister, but at the same time he couldn't bear to part with Yun Xi.

He got down from Yun Xi's arms, and said very reluctantly: "Then I will play with my sister first, and then with my sister."

Afterwards, he stepped back three times with great reluctance.

Yun Xi thinks this kid is so cute, her brows and eyes are crooked when she smiles, and the others can't help but laugh too.Mammy and a few maidservants followed.

Without these people in the room, it suddenly became quiet again.

But Li Qiu suddenly asked: "Concubine Su, which girl is that wearing the pomegranate hairpin?"

Yun Xi looked at Li Qiu suspiciously, wondering why she suddenly asked about a maid in the palace.The maid was dressed in a light blue dress, with delicate features, but she was also fresh and pleasant.

Su Wan said: "That's Miss Qing He, the maid next to the prince. She is the most stable and generous. The prince only has a son like Xiao Shizi, so he is the most caring, so he put the maid who needs to be by Xiao Shizi's side. What's the matter?"

Li Qiu Luoluo said generously: "It's nothing, it's just that when I went to Guanyin Temple, I also saw this Qinghe girl. At that time, I felt that she was not an ordinary person when I saw her demeanor throughout the article, so I remember it deeply."

When Yun Xi heard her mention Guanyin Temple, her heart couldn't help but move.The maid of the rich family who met Wang Yue at that time, couldn't it be the girl Qinghe?
Although Li Qiu never said that Yue He's half-sentence was not good, he praised it endlessly.Su Wan has a delicate heart, she has no chance of getting pregnant in this life, and usually raises Chu Tianzhan and treats him as her own, and cares about him very much, so she has secretly decided to investigate Qinghe when the time comes.

Pressing down on this matter in her heart, she gave Yun Xi a prescription for rouge powder, which was a kind of powder made from orchids.

"Earlier, when you were not in the capital on your birthday, I couldn't even give you a gift, but now I just make up for this gift."

"I've also used this recipe, and the gouache it makes is delicate and sweet, you should like it." She usually has nothing to do in the mansion, except for growing flowers, just thinking about some rouge gouache.

Yun Xi was also not polite to her, and accepted the gift with a smile.

Although she and Su Wan met less than a few times a year, their temperaments were very congenial, and they would not feel alienated because of this.

After staying with Su Wan for about an hour, it's time for her to say goodbye and go back.

But when he was leaving, Chu Tianzhan was not happy.Hugging Zhuzhu, frowning, "Sister, don't go, let my sister come to my house."

Chu Tianzhan was the only child in the third prince's mansion. It was rare for him to find a beautiful and lovely younger sister to play with him, and he was immediately unwilling to let her go away like this.

Wen Yao followed suit, "Sister, don't go."

Dai Yanling happened to come over to pick up her son, and she immediately laughed when she heard this, "What are you calling sister, you should be calling me sister!"

Wen Yao said in a daze, "Sister, let's go."

Yun Xi was almost dying of laughter from these children.She picked up Zhuzhu and coaxed Chu Tianzhan, "How about I bring Zhuzhu to play with you next time?"

"My younger sister is used to living at home. If she doesn't go back, she will definitely not be able to eat well or sleep well." She didn't underestimate Chu Tianzhan because of his young age, but reasoned with him, even if he might not understand .

Chu Tianzhan is still a very considerate young man in essence. Although he was very reluctant, he still nodded, "Then my sister will bring her sister to play in a few days."

He called Sister Yunxi and Sister Zhuzhu, and his seniority was messed up.

After leaving the Third Prince's Mansion, Yun Xi got into the carriage and asked, "Is Miss Qing He the maid who met Wang Yue?"

Li Qiu nodded and said: "I have seen her appearance, she is indeed right."

Yun Xi frowned slightly, and Chu Ling's maid ran to meet Wang Yue, a young scholar, who looked weird no matter how she looked.The only thing she was lucky about was that since she told him about Wang Yue's inappropriateness, Dongxiang gradually became colder with Wang Yue.Suffering emotional trauma, she turned all her energies to comic strips.

Since Li Qiu mentioned Qing He in front of Su Wan, with Su Wan's temperament, she will definitely investigate, and Wang Yue will inevitably be involved.

Yun Xi pursed her lips, but she didn't know whether Su Wan would tell her about it, it depended on whether Su Wan was on the side of the third prince or on Yun Xi's side.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi's mood became heavy unconsciously.

Zhuzhu also seemed to notice that she was in a bad mood, so she pulled her sleeve and called mother.

Yun Xi looked at the daughter in her arms, her eyes were much gentler.

……

A few days after Yun Xi came back, she received a letter from Su Wan.The letter only said one thing: Wang Yue was Chu Ling's disciple a year ago.

When receiving this letter, Yun Xi was very happy.

Between her and the third prince, Su Wan chose her as a friend and told her what she shouldn't have known.

She burned the note to ashes, thinking about Wang Yue.Since Wang Yue and Dongxiang have known each other for less than a year, it means that when the two of them met, he was already a member of Chu Ling.

This made her think in the direction of conspiracy theory. Was Chu Ling's instigation of his encounter with Feng Dongxiang?

Yun Xi didn't think that a simple and kind person would be reused by Chu Ling.It can be seen that what he usually shows in front of Dongxiang is just his disguise.Not to mention that while he was arguing with Qing Hela, he also told Dongxiang that he would not marry her.

Yun Xi simply asked Dong Xiang to be called over.

Seeing the light blue color under Dongxiang's eyes, she knew that she hadn't had a good rest during this period, and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Did you not rest well during this period? Wait until I go back to my warehouse to return the bag of bloody bird's nest and stew it before going to bed." Eat a bowl of rock candy."

Feng Dongxiang blushed, and said, "No, it's just that I wanted to finish drawing the new series of comics earlier, so I stayed up a little bit late."

Yun Xi said: "Your body is your capital. No matter how important comic books are, they are not as important as your body. If you are too tired and sick, it will delay things even more."

Feng Dongxiang knew that her aunt was doing it for her own good, and said with a smile, "It won't be like this in the future."

Yun Xi saw that because of her success in her career, she was no longer as inferior as before, and her brows and eyes were a little more confident, and she was very happy for her.Although Feng Dongxiang wasn't very likable at the beginning, she has transformed into a good girl.

She asked straight to the point, "Are you still in contact with Wang Yue?"

After hearing this name, Feng Dongxiang's calm heart still hurt a little. She shook her head and said, "He wrote me a few letters, but I didn't read them."

She just kept it, but never took it apart.Or she was worried that she would be shaken after seeing the above explanation.

Yun Xi felt that short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, and continued: "Then Wang Yue is actually the third prince's disciple."

Feng Dongxiang obviously didn't know about this, if she knew, she would definitely tell Yun Xi.

She just stared blankly, and it took a long while before she regained her language function, her voice was a bit bitter, "Is this true?"

Yun Xi said: "There will be no mistakes."

Feng Dongxiang took a deep breath, she stayed by Yun Xi's side for a while, and Yun Xi often asked Nanny Zhang and the others to teach her, so she is not the young girl she was at the beginning.If she had known Wang Yue's identity from the beginning, she would not have associated with him anyway.

"The girl who met Wang Yue earlier was the third prince's maid, and now he sent him to take care of his son."

Feng Dongxiang recalled the details of the relationship between the two of them in the past, how many of them were sincere, and how many of them were just lies?She couldn't tell the difference.

She lowered her eyelids, her eyelashes were wet with water vapor, and when she blinked, the water vapor condensed into teardrops and slid down.She seemed to feel that she was too embarrassing, so she quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes.

She gritted her teeth, and ordered the maid beside her to go back and bring her nanmu box that was placed in the second drawer of the dressing table.

After opening the box, there were four letters inside.They were all written to her by Wang Yue during this period, but she didn't open them to read them at all.

Feng Dongxiang opened the letters, read them one by one, and handed the letters to Yun Xi after reading them.

After Yun Xi read it, the first letter asked Feng Dongxiang why he suddenly became cold and if something happened. The second letter said affectionately that he had obtained the consent of his parents and was ready to propose marriage at any time.The third letter was because Feng Dongxiang hadn't contacted him for a long time. In the letter, he vaguely accused Feng Dongxiang of whether he had empathized with someone else.The fourth letter humbly stated that even if Feng Dongxiang didn't love him anymore, he still hoped to meet her. The time was set in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, and the place was the place where the two met for the first time.

It's a pity that although Feng Dongxiang received the letter, he never read it, let alone went to the appointment.

Holding the letter paper in her hand, Yun Xi said slowly, "I remember that there was a heavy rain the afternoon before yesterday."

If Wang Yue had been waiting, he might be caught in the rain.

Yun Xi ordered Li Qiu to check Wang Yue's situation.

After Li Qiu came back, he said to Feng Dongxiang who was out of his mind: "The smell of medicine has been coming from Wang Yue's yard for the past two days. It seems that he is sick."

Yun Xi smiled, "This bitter trick is really good."

It's just that she doesn't know if she is really sick.

"After he falls asleep, let Yun Qi check on his physical condition."

Li Qiu nodded and said yes.That night, Yun Qiye came back after visiting Wang Yue, and said, "Although the room smells like medicine, I checked his pulse and he is very healthy, so it doesn't seem like he's really sick."

Feng Dongxiang originally had a fluke mentality, but after hearing this, she finally lost the last trace of affection for Wang Yue.

Men are unreliable, not every man is like uncle, she might as well earn more money for herself and keep it by her side.

It's just that Feng Dongxiang didn't want to let himself bear the hat of seeing things differently, so he directly asked someone to write notes and send them to Wang Yue.There are only two words on the note: Qinghe.

After Wang Yue read it, he thought that Feng Dongxiang knew about him and Qinghe, but he didn't know that Dongxiang knew that she was a member of the third prince's family, so he finally calmed down and stopped trying to send letters to Dongxiang.

The relationship between the two slowly faded away like this, as if the previous exchange was just an illusion.

After Dongxiang put him down, she put all her energy into painting. Even Yun Yao couldn't help complaining to Yun Xi that Dongxiang was a madman, even more powerful than her.

……

Yun Xi also talked to Yun Shen about this matter, and said, "What do you think is going on with Chu Ling?" Because of Dongxiang's matter, she felt resentful towards Chu Ling, and her tone became extremely blunt.

Yun Shen squeezed her hand, and said calmly: "Everyone knows that you are good to your younger sisters and Dongxiang, but he just wants to insert a son by our side."

If Wang Yue really married Feng Dongxiang, it would be much easier to get some news through Dongxiang's channel in the future.

"The eldest prince and the second prince have lost their Sacred Heart, and Chu Ling is highly valued by His Majesty. It is impossible to say that he has no intention of aspiring for that position."

Yun Shen was like picking up a grape with the fingers of the finest suet white jade, and the skin of the grape peeled off automatically as soon as he exerted his secret strength, as if a pair of invisible hands were peeling it off.

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, it was really speechless to use her internal energy in such a place.

Yun Shen brought the peeled grapes to her mouth, and Yun Xi opened her mouth happily, accepting her husband's respect.The grapes at this time are very sweet with a slight sour taste.She was pregnant, and happened to like to eat this, so she ate about half a plate in Yun Shen's hands before resting.

Yun Shen himself didn't eat much, and basically used it to honor his wife.

He was so considerate, Yun Xi also offered peaches and plums once, she sat on the couch, Yun Shen's head rested on her legs, and her fingers gently pressed his temples to relieve his fatigue.In the past few days, Yun Shen has been arrested by Chu Xiyuan, and he has been busy for a month without much rest.

Yun Shen continued the previous topic, "The third prince has privately entered an intelligence-gathering department."

Yun Xi thought it was nothing, the only thing she disliked was that the other party's hand was stretched too far, reaching towards her.Speaking of it, Chu Ling is really capable of doing practical things, with a rigorous personality and good skills, and he treats the common people much better than other princes with high eyesight and low hands. These are his advantages. The husband and wife had a harmonious relationship, but he felt that it was not good for a family to be dominant, so he insisted on raising several concubines to maintain the so-called balance of the back house.

Yun Xi was speechless as hell.Don't look at Yang Yeqing's face, but you can tell from Su Wan's occasional letters that Yang Yeqing has been chilled by his actions, and now she is guarding her son and living her own quiet life.Su Wan straightforwardly told her about Wang Yue, on the one hand, it was because of their friendship, on the other hand, it might also have Yang Yeqing's intentions.

Yun Shen said: "The population of our family has increased a lot now, I will ask Mo Yan and Li Qiu to investigate carefully to see if there are any nails that have been pushed in from outside."

Yun Xi nodded in agreement, she didn't want to hunt geese all day and end up being pecked by geese.

……

Yun Xi raised the baby peacefully at home, the weather was hot, and she herself didn't like to walk outside.

Everyone in the capital knew that she was pregnant, and they could understand her cautious thoughts.After all, Yun Shen has only one daughter, and no son yet.In the eyes of the world, the son who can carry on the family line is the most important thing.

Yun Shen's previous performance was over there, and sending him a beauty would directly offend him.In addition, some time ago, he punished Pingcheng Hou and Nanyue King so miserable that no one dared to provoke him at all, let alone sending him beautiful women to warm his bed.

Besides, everyone thinks that Yun Xi has a group of beauties who are good at singing and dancing, and that Yun Shen can be ashamed of all these people every day, but they can't find a more beautiful partner.All of a sudden, Yun Xi's side was much more relaxed.

On the contrary, she was not used to it, and said to Yunyao, "I thought there would be people who don't have long eyes this time."

Yun Yao felt that her elder sister was born to work hard, so she said disapprovingly, "Who would be so reckless in rushing to offend you?"

After all, she looked at her sister's belly in awe.Although my sister is not pregnant for the first time, she is still very curious every time she sees the gradually rising belly.

Yun Yao couldn't help asking: "Sister, why do women get pregnant? I asked my mother, and she said that it was inserted from the foot. Hmph, you are just fooling me."

Yun Xi couldn't help but choked. Could it be that she wanted to give her younger sister a physiology class in advance?

She can only use the dragging formula, "You will know when you get married."

Yun Yao snorted loudly, said nothing, and discussed the advertisement with Yun Xi instead.Because of the comic strips, the sales of Kapok, a newspaper, are getting better and better. Many stores have achieved good results after trying to advertise.In addition, Yunxi only advertised three times a month, which made things even more expensive than rare.

Now it is basically an advertisement for merchants in the capital who want to get ahead with money.After a month, the advertising fee can get nearly a thousand taels of silver.Coupled with the popular Cuju newspaper, the two newspapers are now in a fairly good state of profitability.

Yun Xi instructed: "Those shops that advertise, we have to have someone review them carefully, and we can't make a false propaganda." Such words are not good for the reputation of the newspaper.

Yun Yao nodded to express her understanding.Yunxi took [-]% of the proceeds from these advertisements, and the other two went to Yunyao and Feng Dongxiang. After all, the comic strips they collaborated on were considered to be the greatest contribution.

After Yunyao finished talking about the newspaper, she added that Duoduo's 16th birthday is coming.Last year, in order to save face for Duo Duo, Yun Xi took care of it.This year, Dodo wished that others would not think of her, and would just persuade the family to have a family dinner casually.

Yun Xi didn't force her, so she went along with her.

When she and Yunyao were in the middle of chatting, Li Qiu came in with a hurried look, her brows were tightly frowned.

"What happened?" Looking at this expression, it seems that it is not a trivial matter.

Li Qiu said: "Nurse Hua passed away."

Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, "It's so good, why did you go?"

When she left the capital, Nanny Hua was obviously in good health, with good hearing and eyesight, and it would be no problem to live another five or six years depending on her condition.

Li Qiu said: "Her body has been buried on the spot, it is said that she accidentally contracted a cold."

Li Qiu also hated Guan Qiu, but had a good impression of Nanny Hua. Now that she had passed away, he felt very sad.

Li Qiu pursed his lips and said, "It's just that Nanny Hua was the one who buried the ashes directly."

When Yun Xi heard this, her eyebrows furrowed fiercely.People in this era are very obsessed with keeping the whole body alive, and they would not choose cremation unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Our people also asked that girl Guan, and she only said that it was Nanny Hua's last wish." Liqiu paused, and continued: "Miss Guan entrusted her cousin Huacheng to us. She herself is gone.”

"According to people who have seen her, the expression on her face before she disappeared seems not right."

When Yun Xi heard Li Qiu say this, it was obvious that there must be something tricky about Nanny Hua's death.Originally, she had secretly performed an autopsy, but Nanny Hua left her last words saying that she would be cremated... Wait, Yun Xi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, Nanny Hua chose to destroy all the evidence just to cover up something, right?The whole thing smacked of something strange.

Her expression became serious, "Go and find out, did Nanny Hua have any contact with anyone before she fell ill? By the way, find out if the medicinal materials used in her illness are still there."

"As for Hua Cheng..." She sighed, after all, he was only a five-year-old child, "Let's take him to the mansion first."

When the time comes, she will ask Yun Shen how to arrange him.

　La la la, slowly dig out the hole ahead

　　Cover your face, go out to eat and drink with your friends every day these days, I'm so happy
