The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 317
The capital usually begins to snow heavily at the end of November, and this year is no exception.It's just that after experiencing the snowstorm a few years ago, the resistance of the people in Beijing to the cold seems to have improved a lot.

Originally, Yun Xi was a little worried that if it snowed heavily on Yun Yao's wedding day, it would not be beautiful after all.

It's just that she didn't expect that the fine snow that had been falling for a few days would stop two days before Yun Yao's wedding.

On the day of the big wedding, the sky was even more rarely cleared.The winter sun shines on the body, adding a bit of warmth.

Because of Dai Xiao, even though Yun Xi visited Yun Yao once, she did not stay to attend the wedding banquet.

The younger sister whom she loved for many years was about to get married, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.Other women feel uneasy and nervous when they get married, but Yunyao is already in that heartless and heartless look that makes people itch.

She even said to the red-eyed Mrs. Du Zhou: "Mother, just treat me as a guest for a few days, and I will definitely come back often in the future."

After hearing this, Du Zhou's tears immediately went back, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "What nonsense are you talking about, child, how can you be so casual after you get married."

Yun Yao snorted, "What's wrong? I've already agreed with him."

Yun Xi looked at her sister once, and left after seeing that everything was fine for Yun Yao.Yes, just like what Yunyao said, she has no elders above her, and Deng Changming is not someone who will restrain her temperament. Even if she lives in her mother's house every day, will someone jump out and criticize her?
As for the pointing and pointing from the outside world, it was purely because they were jealous.

Yunyao's dowry was sent to Deng's house first.Deng Changming runs the Baiweizhai, although most of it has to be handed over to the state treasury, the leftover part is enough for him to earn a lot of money.The three-entry house that Chu Xiyuan rewarded him before was decorated very delicately by him, full of the poetic and picturesque charm of the southern water town.

Although Deng Changming had no elders above him, Princess Duanchang came to help him entertain the guests today, acted as an elder for a while, and also gave the couple the greatest respect for their wedding.

After Yun Xi came out of Du's house, she turned directly to an inn near Deng Changming's house. She had booked a private room earlier, and this private room happened to be able to have a panoramic view of the scene below.This can also make it easier for her to watch the show later.

Because she didn't want to be seen by others, she rarely put on the veil, and only took it off after entering the private room.

After a while, someone knocked lightly on the door.

Li Qiu went to open the door, and Zhang Shuangyun came in.After Lu Yiran left the capital, she delegated the power to Zhang Shuangyun and Li Ruowei.These two were single-handedly pulled out by Yiran, they couldn't be more reliable.

"How's the arrangement going?"

Zhang Shuangyun was also aware of this, and she even helped.

The corners of Zhang Shuangyun's lips twitched, and said: "Then Concubine Li's mother, Wen Shi, has already been fooled."

Concubine Li is in the palace, and she wants to plot against the Du family and cannot escape the help of her natal family.So the Wen family knew about it, and Mrs. Wen even shared her daughter's nostrils.This Mrs. Wen's natal family is exactly the Meng family in the north of the mountain. They are descendants of the so-called saints, and they are said to be the most observant of the law.The folk customs in Dachu are open, even girls from noble families in the capital don't like to wear veils when they go out, and it is common for widows to remarry.This Wen family looked down on these things very much, thinking that this is not what a lady of a famous family should look like, and even more that a woman should abide by the three obediences and four virtues, from one to the end, and it is best to live a lifetime with the chastity archway.

This also caused the ladies in the capital to dislike dealing with her, who liked to be taught to be virtuous and to obey the three virtues.

It is conceivable that Yun Xi, who has done so many things, is absolutely restless in the eyes of Mrs. Wen.In particular, Yun Xi's opening of a women's school made her disdainful, thinking that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue.It's just that Mrs. Wen is not a fool. She knows that Yun Xi's reputation in Dachu can be said to be in the sky, and it is even more famous in Qingliu, which controls the right to speak.Some great Confucians said that she started a women's school and said that she was doing it to educate women, which is a meritorious thing.Wen's is not a fool, so naturally he would not oppose Yun Xi in the open, that is, to express his dissatisfaction in private.The servants of the Wen family were not so tight-lipped, so they naturally leaked some rumors.

Yun Xi had long disliked Wen's, which was why she turned her mind on Wen's head this time.

Deng Changming's marriage this time was presided over by Princess Duanchang, so there were quite a few guests who came to join him.Originally, Deng Changming didn't invite Wen's family, but after receiving Yun Xi's news, he also sent invitations to Wen's family.

Deng Changming managed to pass five hurdles and cut six generals before he succeeded in getting Du Zhou's consent to marry Yunyao to him. He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received someone planning to use his wedding as a raft. Deng Changming was not annoyed, now he has a chance Naturally, it is necessary to teach others a lesson.

In normal times, Wen's might not necessarily come to participate.It's just that she also intends to let her grandson go further, so Princess Duanchang's support has become the most important thing.Chu Xiyuan has always been very kind to Princess Duanchang, her elder sister, and she has given her a lot of preferential treatment.He especially dotes on Lu Yiran, the niece, who is also a princess and given military power, she is even more favored than the emperor's daughter.

It's just that Wen didn't think about it, the words she usually disliked Lu Yiran fell into Princess Duanchang's ears, how could she be pleasing to the eye.

Originally, Princess Duanchang wanted to see that Deng Changming's wedding was different from Wen's, but after receiving the news from Yun Xi, Princess Duanchang changed her mind.

She was wearing an elegant and luxurious golden gown, and a casual glance was enough to make the people who glanced over her feel a great pressure. She smiled on the skin and said: "Ms. Wen is really a rare visitor."

Mrs. Wen said with great demeanor, "Today is Mr. Deng County's big day, so I came over to have a glass of wedding wine."

Princess Duanchang rolled her eyes and said with a sudden smile: "It seems that the old lady is in a good mood. I thought that after Mrs. Chen left your house, you are not in the mood to go out recently."

Hitting people doesn't slap people in the face, but Princess Duanchang slapped Mrs. Wen in the face severely.The Shen family she mentioned was originally Mrs. Wen's youngest daughter-in-law.Mrs. Wen loves her youngest son the most. Her son has loved beauty since he was a child, and has taken many beautiful concubines.At the beginning, Shen still endured it, but a few months ago, her husband fell in love with a rare beauty and wanted to accept her as a noble concubine, for fear of wronging her darling.In a fit of rage, Shen immediately started fighting with her husband.Mrs. Wen felt sorry for her youngest son, so she accused Shen of being unvirtuous, not only letting the concubine's room in, but also sending two beauties to her youngest son.

Shen Shi simply reconciled with her husband and left, taking the dowry with her.

Mrs. Wen was naturally very annoyed, even if her son died, Mrs. Shen still had to watch over her son.Her son just took in a few concubines, and Shen's getting so angry was not virtuous at all.After the incident with Li, the reputation of the Wen family was even worse.Mrs. Wen's most proud daughter, Concubine Li, even expressed some dissatisfaction in her words: After all, the Shen family has a good family background, and a good alliance becomes an enemy like this.

Mrs. Wen took a deep breath, barely maintaining proper etiquette, "Where, Mrs. Shen has no destiny with my Che'er after all."

Princess Duanchang smiled lightly, "When you finish drinking today's wedding wine, you will probably have Shen's wedding wine in a few months. Her parents have re-arranged a marriage for her."

Princess Duanchang said with a slight sarcasm in her voice, "Her husband who remarries this time promised her that there will be no messy concubines in the house, and there will be no mother-in-law Aiser in the house. It is really a perfect marriage. She It’s also a blessing.”

Mrs. Wen felt that the tendons in her brain were about to snap, and her nails were about to dig into her palms.She felt that the blood rushed directly to her head, overwhelming her reason.Mrs. Wen was so angry that she trembled, and the maid beside her hurriedly supported her to prevent her from falling directly.

After Princess Duanchang was almost irritated, Shi Shiran left.

Mrs. Wen looked at her back, gritted her teeth and hated.She took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back first."

The maid helped her to leave.

Many of the invited guests were friends of Deng Changming or Du's family. Seeing Mrs. Wen's displeasure, they only gloated in their hearts, but no one talked to her.

After Mrs. Wen walked out of the house, she was suddenly sobered up by the cold wind outside, but the fire in her heart couldn't be extinguished no matter what.

The sound of gongs and drums brought her back to her senses. Mrs. Wen raised her head, her dazzled eyes saw the big red sedan chair being carried from afar, and she suddenly calmed down.Not only that, but the corner of her mouth raised a faint smile.

Although her maid didn't know why the old lady suddenly felt better, she still devoted herself to her duty and asked, "Old lady, why don't we get into the carriage first?" People were blown ill by the cold wind, and the unlucky ones were still the maids who served them.

Mrs. Wen shook her head, pointed to the sedan chair that was approaching, and said, "We'll wait until the bride's sedan chair is carried over."

She remembered the scene where dog blood was splashed on the sedan chair, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Princess Duanchang's attitude towards her is so bad, it must be someone from the Du family who is sowing discord.After today, this Du Yunyao and that Deng Changming will become the biggest joke in the capital.

As soon as she imagined that scene, her elderly body trembled with excitement.

The sedan chair is getting closer and closer, and the sound of playing music and firecrackers is intertwined into a joyful music.

Deng Changming even sent people to Bayangzhai to buy a lot of pastries and preserves, and distributed them to the children at the door.For these children, they may not be able to eat sweets once a month, let alone a time-honored shop like Bafangzhai.They all said congratulatory words very sweetly, so that they could get more snacks from the servants of Deng's family. For a while, the door of Deng's house was full of joy.

The distribution of snacks is over when the sedan chair is about to be brought over.The children who got the candied fruit broke up happily.

When the sedan chair was still about ten meters away from Deng's house, suddenly several men came over carrying buckets of blood.

Others couldn't help asking: "What are you doing collecting so much blood?"

The man sighed and said, "I don't know if my wife is possessed by an evil spirit. She was talking nonsense yesterday. Others said that she was possessed by a ghost and must be poured with dog's blood."

When they said this, the people who watched the wedding gave up their seats so that they could pass by.

Someone else persuaded him, "If dog blood is useless, then go to Taoist Priest Qingxu, Taoist Priest Qingxu has boundless mana, there must be a way."

Mrs. Wen's maid almost vomited when she smelled the smell of dog blood.They really wanted to take Mrs. Wen to the carriage as soon as possible, so as not to be tainted by the blood.

It's just that Mrs. Wen held her breath just now and was waiting to watch the fun, so she didn't want to.

The bridal sedan was getting closer and closer, Mrs. Wen was so excited to watch the man make the gesture of splashing dog blood on the bridal sedan...Suddenly, a few children ran over and bumped into those men.

The dog blood that was about to be spilled immediately turned around, and directly ruthlessly poured on Mrs. Wen.

Mrs. Wen's hair, face and clothes were covered with sticky dog ​​blood, and the smell of blood made her a little limp.

She couldn't react, and her mind was tied up in a knot - shouldn't Du Yunyao be splashed with blood?How did you splash it on her?
Screams sounded one after another.

……

Sitting on the second floor, Yun Xi took the lively scene below into her eyes, and the corners of her eyes unconsciously evoked a pleasant smile.After seeing Mrs. Wen being splashed with dog blood, she felt like she had eaten a ginseng fruit, and she felt relieved in her heart.

Standing next to her, Zhang Shuangyun was equally amused and bent over laughingly, "Ma'am, did you see her expression? She also has today!"

Hahaha, seeing this scene, she was so happy that she could eat three bowls of rice.

Who made this old lady Wen always feel that it is very offensive for their women to come out to be officials.

Zhang Shuangyun asked: "Those local ruffians are going to be okay?" The Wen family must have settled with them after losing such face.

The corners of Yun Xi's mouth twitched, and she said: "No, they really don't dare to kill them openly, otherwise everyone will know that they did it, and that would not discredit the Fourth Prince."

So at this stage, she still has a back hand waiting for the Wen family.

Zhang Shuangyun was thoughtful.

Yun Xi asked, "When will your mother come to the capital?"

Zhang Shuangyun pursed her lips and smiled, a trace of warmth flashed in her eyes, "It's already on the way."

After Zhang Shuangyun came to the capital with Yunxi at that time, her father Zhang Dayuan still wanted her to marry his concubine He Tao. Later, Daoist Wuweizi directly said that the two were incompatible, that they were incompatible with each other, and that the relationship was within the five clothes.Zhang Dayuan was so scared that he didn't dare to mention the marriage again, so he could only grit his teeth and dissolve the engagement between the two.

It's just that after Zhang Shuangyun's status became higher and higher, and she was still Lu Yiran's confidant, many people thought of proposing marriage with Zhang Dayuan.Before Zhang Dayuan sold his daughter for a good price, He Tao's identity as his concubine was exposed.

People in the world pay great attention to ethics and morality. Seeing that Zhang Dayuan wanted to marry his own children, which violated ethics and morality, posts impeaching Zhang Dayuan suddenly flew like snowflakes.In the end, Zhang Dayuan's official position was taken away, and Zhang Wenshi took advantage of the situation to reconcile with him. With the help of Yun Xi and Princess Duanchang, Zhang Shuangyun also successfully broke up the father-daughter relationship with Zhang Dayuan.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shuangyun was very grateful to Yun Xi and Her Royal Highness the Princess.She remembered that four years ago, she suddenly wanted to go to the study to take a collection of essays back home, but happened to overhear a conversation with her father.At that time, she was like falling into an ice cave, feeling that the future was dark, and she often hid in the quilt and cried secretly at night.But in order not to startle the snake, he had to pretend to be innocent and lively in front of his father.

At that time, the memories of being helpless and wandering under the blanket seemed to be far away.

Zhang Shuangyun's eyes shone with scorching brilliance, she likes this kind of life, she doesn't have to entrust her whole life to a man like other women, life depends on luck.

After talking to her for a while, Yun Xi couldn't help laughing when she saw the bloody hooligans being taken away by the yamen.

……

On Yunyao's big wedding day, Mrs. Wen became famous in the capital because of being splashed with blood all over her body.Originally, everyone was eagerly waiting for how the Wen family would deal with those hooligans, but who knew that the Wen family didn't move at all, and let them go lightly, which can be said to have surprised everyone. sex.

But within a few days, that ruffian Xi Tian limped to the Yamen to sue Jiang Gui for murder.

In the courtroom, Xi Tian said with snot and tears that he was bribed, and on the wedding day of Du Yunyao and Deng Changming, he ruined the wedding by splashing blood on the sedan chair.Unexpectedly, some children killed him halfway and ran into him. In the end, the dog's blood didn't splash on the sedan chair, but instead splashed on Mrs. Wen.

After the matter failed, he and his brothers were chased and killed. If there were not a knight-errant who happened to pass by, I'm afraid this little life would be confessed.

It is not difficult to find out that Jiang Gui himself is the adopted son of the fourth prince's grandmother, so he followed the clues to the fourth prince.

Because the prince was involved, it was not easy for the governor of Shuntian Prefecture to make a decision, so he directly wrote this matter into a booklet and sent it to Chu Xiyuan.

As soon as Chu Xiyuan investigated, how could Concubine Li's little tricks have been hidden from him.So the concubine Li in the palace was grounded and demoted to concubine because of her disrespect in front of the imperial court.As for Mrs. Wen, the victim in the eyes of outsiders, she was stripped of her imperial order because of her harsh treatment of her daughter-in-law.

Everyone is not a fool, as soon as they saw Chu Xiyuan's handling, they knew that the dog blood incident was done by Concubine Li and Mrs. Wen, and the result was their own fault, and the retribution was on themselves.Otherwise, it would have been a long time ago that Wen's often asked his daughter-in-law to set the rules. Chu Xiyuan hadn't dealt with it a long time ago, but dealt with it after the dog blood incident. Obviously, he just used this as a reason for the outbreak.

Yun Yao was very relieved, and when she returned to the door, she said to Yun Xi: "Her imperial order has been slapped, and everyone knows that the dog blood was done by their Wen family. I don't think the Wen family will have the face to face other people's accusations in the future." Make irresponsible remarks."

Yun Yao wished that she was the one who spilled blood at that time.

Yun Xi said coolly: "Mr. Wen just fell ill and stayed at home to hide her shame. If this matter persists, she must not dare to go out."

Yun Yao nodded, and said: "The fourth prince was sent a lot of apologies."

"You accepted it?"

Yun Yao said: "If you don't accept it, you won't accept it for nothing." It's impossible for her to turn the fight with the fourth prince into friendship just because she accepted the gift, but it's just maintaining the peace on the surface.

Seeing her ruddy face, Yun Xi knew that she was very comfortable after marrying. She nodded Yun Yao's forehead and asked, "Is the servant of the Deng family easy to manage?"

Yunyao smiled and said, "As soon as I entered, the housekeeper sent me the cards, the warehouse list and the ledger." Yunyao's accounting was taught by her sister.The Deng family has a small population, and there are only her and Deng Changming as serious masters, and there are not many servants serving them.But in half a day, Yun Yao was in order.

Deng Changming is usually smarter than a fox, and his servants dare not lie to him, which greatly facilitates Yun Yao's work.

Yun Xi couldn't help but also heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't object to Deng Changming at the time. On the one hand, it was because Deng Changming was sincere to Yun Yao, and on the other hand, it was because the Deng family had a small population and lived a quiet life, so there wouldn't be too much right and wrong.

She couldn't help but think of Ji Zhizhi, who was about the same age, and the Ji family was anxious to find a suitable marriage for him.Ji Zhizhi's identity is over there, if he wants to, it's easy to find a partner.It's just that Mrs. Ji picked several candidates for him, but he didn't like any of them, and he worried Mrs. Ji to death.

Mrs. Ji even inquired about Yun Xi's side, saying that if she has a suitable partner here, she can introduce one or two.

Yun Xi remembered that Yun Yao and Ji Zhizhi were very close, and Ji Zhizhi had some ambiguous thoughts about Yun Yao before, but he himself was ignorant and seemed to have no idea, so he was taken advantage of by Deng Changming up.

She couldn't help thinking, maybe she could suggest Mrs. Ji to find a lively and cute type.

Yun Yao was talking to her sister, when suddenly she saw her mind wandering, she couldn't help pushing her, "Sister, what are you thinking?"

When Yun Xi came back to her senses, she immediately changed the subject and said, "I'm talking about Taoist Qingxu."

Yun Yao, who was still in high spirits at first, immediately showed a little anger when she heard the name, and said, "This man is really shameless, he actually brought back what happened that day."

Taoist Qingxu prophesied to Yunyao that there would be bloodshed on the day of her wedding, everyone knew, but the blood didn't splash on Yunyao, but instead splashed back on Mrs. Wen.Taoist Qingxu then said that it was because Yunyao often did good deeds, that's why this bloody disaster was successfully resolved, and it returned to the evildoers.

He smoothed things out for himself very well and explained it very well.

Coupled with the help of caring people, many people said that he was not missing anything, and he was worthy of being a generation of masters.

Seeing Yun Yao's angry look, Yun Xi smiled, "Don't worry, he won't be around for long."

Daoist Qingxu has already caught Chu Xiyuan's eyes, including the whole ins and outs of his being found and entering the capital from other places, which cannot escape the investigation of the emperor.As far as Yun Xi was concerned, this grasshopper who belonged to the Queen of Autumn couldn't jump up and down, so she really didn't care much.

Yun Yao just complained a few words, she shook her head and said: "Grandma still wants to go to Taoist Qingxu and ask her to help with divination."

She curled her lips, "It must be divination when He's pregnant. Later, my mother simply took her to Ci'an Temple, and asked Master Chiming to make a divination, saying that it was a life of many children and blessings. Grandma told He attitude has improved a lot.”

Du Yong is Du Zhang's first grandson, and has been raised by her side since he was a child, and Du Zhang loves him the most.Yun Xi felt that Du Zhang's only advantage was that no matter how much she wished for her great-grandson, no matter how much she disliked He's, she would never let Du Yong take a concubine like others.

She and Yunyao were discussing Taoist Qingxu over there, and after a few days, Taoist Qingxu really wanted to meet, or the other party seemed to think that he had gained enough reputation during his stay in the capital to reach him. the goal of.

The disciples of the third prince Chu Ling heard about Taoist Qingxu's reputation, so they invited him over, probably not intending to ask him to help Chu Ling.After seeing Chu Ling, Taoist Qingxu made a divination for him, saying that he will be very rich in the future and will achieve great things within two years.

To be reincarnated as a prince is already extremely rich.Taoist Qingxu said that Chu Ling will be a great noble in the future, even more prominent than now, which is tantamount to bluntly saying that Chu Ling will definitely ascend to the throne.

This is basically cursing Chu Xiyuan's death within two years so that Chu Ling can take over.If this divination was just a private talk, it would be fine, but it happened to be passed on.

The news immediately plunged Chu Ling into a dire situation.

Many censors have impeached him, and it is rare for Chu Xiyuan to be cold-hearted towards this son. Let him rest in the mansion for a month and a half, which is tantamount to confinement.

After Yun Xi heard about this, she just found it a little funny.
