The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 290 Visiting the Garden, Uninvited

Besides Hua Cheng, Yun Xi also asked people to check on Guan Qiu's whereabouts.Although she was very displeased with Guan Qiu in her heart, she couldn't just watch her have an accident.

It's a pity that Guan Qiu didn't know where she was hiding. She searched for Wanshiwu and Yinmen for several days, but she still couldn't be found.Yun Xi knew in her heart that Guan Qiu was deliberately avoiding them...but she didn't understand what Guan Qiu was thinking.

Huacheng was still young and still ignorant, and he didn't quite understand the specific meaning of death, so he just cried and said he wanted to find his grandma.After all, this child was brought up by Nanny Hua since he was a child, and he couldn't do without Nanny Hua.

Yun Xi sent a nanny and a maid to look after him, and sometimes met with Hua Cheng.Yun Xi has always been patient with children.

As for Nanny Hua's ashes, they were buried directly on the spot.

After the investigation by Yinmen, everything was normal before Nanny Hua died, and she never dismissed the so-called suspicious objects, as if her death was just a matter of course.

Yun Xi just held back, let her own people pretend to give up after finding nothing, and turned from the investigation on the surface to the underground. This can also paralyze the other party, so as not to overwhelm the enemy.Yun Xi never believed that Nanny Hua's death was not man-made.

She continued to raise the baby quietly at home, and the time slipped into October without any haste.

October [-]th is also the time for Yurong to formally perform filial piety. Under normal circumstances, people will hold a filial piety feast, usually by inviting their relatives to dinner.Du Yiming's surviving relatives are Du Yifu's family, except for the Du Zhang family who returned to Fenghuang County with their two grandchildren.

At the banquet, Yun Xi also brought topaz noodles and pearl noodles to Yu Rong, counting them as gifts of filial piety.She ordered someone to make several sets of clothes for Yu Rong before, and when she was in the filial piety period, she could only dress in a simple and clean way.A little girl at her age still has to wear red and green to look good, and look beautiful.In particular, Yurong herself is as delicate and charming as Yunyao.

After filial piety, it was her 16th birthday soon.The other girls in the capital are about the same age and have made plans to get married, but Yurong was implicated by Du Yiming earlier, so she had no choice but to let go of her promising marriage.Her mother, Li Shi, is trying her best to find a suitable partner for her.

Yun Xi originally wanted to save face for her sister, and planned to have a banquet for many guests on Yurong's 16th birthday, and the venue was set in the Grand View Garden.

Because she was pregnant, she was not easy to suffer, so she directly handed over the work to Yunyao and the others.The relationship between Yunyao and Yurong has always been very good, in order to save face for Yurong, they took over this matter.

She also said to Yu Rong: "It can be seen that my sister loves you. The Grand View Garden has been built for almost half a year. It has been closed to the public because of you." Speaking of which, Yun Yao's birthday is also at the end of the month, but Yu Rong is older than her. It's been ten days or so.

The Grand View Garden of Yunxi was originally designed according to the design in the Dream of Red Mansions, so it is needless to mention its elegance and magnificence.She still trusts Cao Xueqin's aesthetics.

Yun Yao has also visited this garden, and feels that every yard is so beautiful that she wishes to live in it for a long time. She doesn't need to guess to know how much commotion this yard will cause when it is opened to the public.

Yunyao and Yurong, one is a cousin who grew up closer than a real sister, and the other is a half-sister. The two have always liked to compete for favor in front of Yunxi.Regardless of the frequent bickering between the two, the relationship between the two is actually not bad.

Yun Xi couldn't help but tap Yunyao's forehead, "It's as if I don't love you, if you want to live in Yihong Courtyard, I'll give it to you."

Yun Yao chuckled and didn't say anything more.

After drawing up the guest list, she gave Yun Xi a look.

Yun Xi took a look and found that the girls who were invited were all girls who had a good relationship with them, some were married and some were not yet out of the cabinet.For example, Lu Yiran, Dai Yanling, Ye Yushan, Tao Huanhuan... There are many girls with noble status among them.

Yun Xi didn't forget to post a message to Mingyue Song. This girl lived with Wu Weizi on the mountain recently, and she rarely appeared in front of people.Yun Xi didn't know how her father, Wen Yanhui, planned to arrange for her daughter.

All she can do is let Mingyue come over to relax from time to time.

Yun Xi pinched the list of guests and said, "Add Na Shuerya's name too."

Shu Erya, the princess of the prairie, is considered a celebrity in the capital. Even if a woman in this era has someone she likes, she carefully hides it.Fortunately, she has been infatuated with Wen Yanhui ever since she fell in love with him at first sight, and now she has even chased him directly to the capital, and she has the spirit of not giving up until she catches her.

Yun Xi's impression of Shu Erya is not bad, although she is a bit stubborn, she has no bad intentions anyway.

Yun Yao nodded, and suddenly said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this Shu Erya whipped Pei Zhenghai and her stepmother earlier."

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, and she started to slap people directly. Shu Erya should have a common topic with Yi Ran, the princess who also slaps people when she disagrees.

Yun Yao said: "It's also that Mrs. Hou's dirty mouth. People say that Princess Shuerya is chasing men everywhere, which is not what a good girl should do. In the end, this princess just listened to her and said straight away. The whip was thrown, and her face was disfigured, but she didn't dare to say anything, who told her to talk about people's rights and wrongs first."

Moreover, he was talking about the princess of a country, and this carelessness would cause the so-called diplomatic issues, so no one dared to speak up for Mrs. Pei.This Mrs. Pei is Pei Zhenghai's stepmother. When Pei Zhenghai was a child, she would often act gentle and considerate to lure him to play instead of studying.When Pei Zhenghai got older, he arranged several beautiful maids around him, trying to seduce Pei Zhenghai's body to death.

Pei Zhenghai is also a capable person. He hangs around the place of fireworks all day long. He only said to the outside world that it was because of his stepmother's love for her, which made Mrs. Pei's reputation in the capital circle all of a sudden. The favored son, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit securely in this position.As for the beautiful maids that Mrs. Pei sent to Pei Zhenghai, they were all recognized by Pei Zhenghai as righteous sisters. When they got married, Pei Zhenghai deliberately took money from his father to prepare a generous dowry for these maids, so as to anger Mrs. Pei. It was enough, knowing that this stepson is not easy to mess with, and after Pei Zhenghai favored Yuan Lingya, the princess of Nanling, Mrs. Pei calmed down a lot.

As a result, just a few years after it stopped, she offended Shu Erya again. Shu Erya was not an easy person to provoke, and now she lost all face. It is said that she was ill.But who doesn't know, she is hiding her shame.

Yun Xi said: "Then write Yuan Lingya's name on it too." She had a good impression of Yuan Lingya, she only remembered that she was a gentle and quiet girl, but there was a sense of flexibility in her bones.

Yun Xi paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered Qu Sang who had a relationship with Guanyin Temple once, the corners of her lips curled up, and she said, "Add the name of the eldest daughter of Marquis of Pingcheng as well, and give her a copy when the time comes." post."

Yun Yao looked at her in surprise, "Sister, isn't our family in Hepingcheng Houfu, who is in dire straits?" Seeing her brother-in-law's rectification of Pingcheng Houfu, she knew it was miserable.

Yun Xi smiled and said, "Ms. Qu is quite interesting." She felt that the girl was a little bit wronged by staying in the Qu family.

"Will Qu Hong invite you?"

Yun Xi snorted coldly, "Farewell, ordinary people like us, it's better not to invite Miss Qu Er."

……

After finalizing the list, Yunyao and the others enthusiastically took the newly made peach blossom notes and posted posts to the guests, and almost everyone who received the invitation came.After all, this Grand View Garden has never been opened since it was built, and everyone has been curious about it for a long time.

Zhang Shuangyun came here with Lu Yiran. We haven't seen each other for a few months. Her skin is tanned a lot, but her eyes are very bright. She is no longer confused and energetic as before.

Yun Xi smiled and said, "I almost didn't recognize it."

Zhang Shuangyun touched his rough cheeks, smiled, and said nothing.She didn't need to look in the mirror to know that she was much ugly now, but she felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

The only thing she was worried about was her mother, but Her Royal Highness had already promised her that she would take her over.Her destiny must be in her own hands, so as not to become an abandoned child in her father's hands.

Lu Yiran looked at her stomach in awe, and said, "It's five months now. If you count the time, it should be born in February."

Yun Xi ticked off and said, "You won't be able to be a foster mother this time, Yan Ling has already made an appointment."

Originally, Yan Ling wanted to be Zhu Zhu's adoptive mother, but Lu Yiran snatched her away first, and hated her for a long time, and beat her chest every time she mentioned it.This time she was a good learner. As soon as the news of Yun Xi's pregnancy came out, she came to the door with great interest and said that she wanted to be a foster mother.

Lu Yiran said: "It's enough for me to have Zhuzhu. Anyway, this baby is definitely not as good-looking as Zhuzhu."

She took out a dagger and said, "This is the toy I made for Zhuzhu, please remember to put it away for her."

Yun Xi's eyelids twitched, others gave children toys as presents, but this one was lucky, he just gave him a sharp dagger, and he was not afraid that Zhuzhu would accidentally cut his hand.However, it is impossible for Yun Xi to give this thing to her daughter to play with.

She took out the dagger and looked at it, and found that the dagger looked unexpectedly familiar.She tried to pass the ability into the dagger, and she really felt a familiar energy inside.

Lu Yiran was still showing off over there, "I spent tens of thousands of dollars to get this, and it's even better than what the emperor's uncle rewarded me before."

Yun Xi inserted the dagger back silently, and said, "This dagger... I actually made it. I took it out and sold it for silver." At that time, it was sold for about 1 taels, so Lu Yiran was at a loss. Woolen cloth.But a certain person is also very powerful, buying a dagger for tens of thousands of taels without even blinking.

Lu Yiran was stunned for a moment, and then rushed forward, "You pay me back 5 taels!"

Fortunately, she was worried about Yun Xi's stomach, so she didn't dare to make a real move, but she still looked unhappy.

While asking people to put the dagger away, Yun Xi promised her that when she gave birth next year, she would make another better one for her.Only then did Lu Yiran calm down.

Before the time of the post, the invited guests had already arrived one after another.

Just seeing a few uninvited guests, Yun Xi couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

She has a good relationship with Su Wan, so she was invited over this time.Su Wan was followed by Hu Jinxuan in a light yellow dress, holding Chu Tianzhan by her hand.

Chu Tianzhan raised his head and looked at Yun Xi expectantly, "Sister, I want to play with sister Zhuzhu." Since meeting Zhuzhu, this girl has always wanted to have such a beautiful and soft sister. .

Lu Yiran couldn't help pinching his cheek, and said with a smile, "You should call her aunt, not sister."

Chu Tianzhan frowned and said, "But my sister is pretty."

Yun Xi understood what he meant. What this kid meant was that the good-looking one is the elder sister, and the unattractive one is the aunt.

Lu Yiran pretended to be angry, "Hmph, then you didn't call me sister before, you only called me aunt, did you think I was ugly?"

Chu Tianzhan still had a sweet mouth, "Auntie is pretty."

Immediately made Lu Yiran amused.

He was born somewhat similar to the third prince Chu Ling, but he was not as strict as Chu Ling, but had a sweet mouth, which was why everyone liked to tease him and watch him change his face.

Yun Xi patted his head and asked someone to lead Chu Tianzhan to play with Zhuzhu.Dai Yanling also brought her son Wen Yao here, and the three children happened to be together.

After Yun Xi watched Chu Tianzhan being taken away, her eyes fell on Hu Jinxuan, "Why is Concubine Hu Shu here?"

The tone was a little more cold.

Hu Jinxuan still had that desolate appearance, "I heard that the plum blossoms in Mrs. Yun's garden are growing well, and there is a Biejiaowanshui plant among them that is even more extraordinary. I love plum blossoms the most, and I have only seen this Biejiaowanshui in books. Only then did I ask Concubine Su's permission to come here with her."

Yun Xi said meaningfully: "Oh, I didn't expect Concubine Hu Shu to be so well-informed that she even knew that there was someone else on my side."

Biejiaowanshui's plum blossoms are bowl-shaped, with layers of petals, and hers has five or six layers, which is very unique.Under normal circumstances, Biejiao Wanshui would only open in early spring, but Yunxi specially spent some abilities to make the plum blossoms bloom earlier for this visit to the garden.

It's just... She never leaked any news before, but Hu Jinxuan was able to know that there was this plum blossom on her side.Considering that she is winning Chu Ling's heart now, Yun Xi has enough reasons to suspect that Chu Ling buried a nail in the mansion unknowingly.

She lowered her eyelids, it seemed that Li Qiu and Mo Yan hadn't cleaned up enough before, and there were still fish that slipped through the net.

The corner of Yun Xi's mouth still had a gentle smile, "I don't know where Concubine Hu Shu heard the news from?"

Lu Yiran sneered, "I have such a good relationship with Yun Xi, I didn't know that she raised such a plum blossom, but Concubine Hu Shu is amazing."

Hu Jinxuan didn't expect Yun Xi to bite out her unintentional words, and her face was a little flustered.She forced herself to be calm and said, "Probably she overheard someone mention it."

Lu Yiran said: "A small concubine's room, the hands are so deep that they are really long. The third brother's vision is getting worse and worse."

Lu Yiran usually directly refers to Chu Ling as the third brother.

Just as Yun Xi was about to say something, Qu Sang had already arrived, followed by her younger sister Qu Hong.

Well, there is one more uninvited person.
