The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 319 Touring the mountains and rivers, climbing

"Could it be that someone used Concubine De's hands to frame Concubine De?"

It's not impossible, after all, Yun Xi still didn't want to believe that Concubine De would want to hurt them.

Yun Shen said lightly: "Concubine De went to the warehouse to pick these out in person."

Unless the person who framed Concubine De knew in advance that Concubine De would pick out these ginseng, and then tampered with the ginseng.It's just that Chu Xiyuan rewarded the medicinal materials on a whim, and then Concubine De went to pick them.There are too many accidental factors in this. If these tampered ginsengs have been kept in the warehouse, the imperial physicians who often go to look for medicine can easily find the tricks in them.

Yun Xi raised her head, and exchanged a look with Yun Shen—unless Concubine De had prepared the ginseng in advance, and there was a drop.

"At that time, there was a silver leaf in the prescription used by my father."

Yun Xi suddenly came to her senses, De Concubine's goal is Yun Mu!Since this medicinal material was given to Yun Mu by Chu Xiyuan, and it was of good quality, they would definitely use it on Yun Mu directly.As a result, mutual restraint is formed.Yun Mu was originally in poor health, and if the medicinal materials restrained him, he would die soon, and he couldn't diagnose the slightest mistake, so it was just that there was no cure for his body.Concubine De has a good relationship with their Yunfu, and the medicinal materials she sent will not be checked too carefully by the people below.

Yun Xi sighed, "Does Concubine De hate father that much?" She even gave him a ride herself.

Yun Shen was not surprised by this, "The Empress Dowager has a very good relationship with my mother. When my mother came to Beijing, she lived in the Su family, and she lived in the same yard as the Empress Dowager at that time."

After guessing the reason for Concubine De's attack on Yun Mu, Yun Xi felt very complicated, but she still couldn't hate Concubine De after all.To be honest, because of the destruction of the Meng family, she has always been very displeased with Yun Mu, and she couldn't have the idea of ​​so-called respect. She just maintained the superficial obedience, and it was more just to silence outsiders.

Although Yun Mu loves Zhu Zhu very much, Yun Xi knows very well that it is because Zhu Zhu looks like her mother-in-law who died young.If Zhuzhu didn't have this advantage in appearance, Yunmu would definitely try to urge her to give birth to a boy as soon as possible.

Yun Xi looked up at Yun Shen, "Then what should we do?"

The sun that is not scorching in winter is projected from the window.Obsessed with Yun Shen's impeccable and perfect lines, Yun Xi couldn't see clearly the ups and downs of emotions in Yun Shen's eyes, and only heard his voice as calm as ever, "Destroy all these problematic medicinal materials. Bar."

Yun Xi understood what he meant: destroy all the evidence, and then pretend it didn't happen?
She pursed her lips and said, "Even if my father's body didn't have this medicine, it would be delayed for another month or two at most."

After all, her words were an excuse for Concubine De.

It's a pity that she is still in filial piety, otherwise she could go to the palace and discuss this matter with Concubine De.No, she soon felt that she wanted to be too beautiful.Walls have ears, and it would be bad if this matter is accidentally leaked out during the discussion. The best way is to destroy the evidence and forget about it.

Yun Shen changed the subject, "It's rare for us to have free time in the past two years, why don't we find a place to go sightseeing next year?"

Anyway, one of the two children is more than one year old and the other is almost four years old. In addition, they are always in good health, so there is no problem even if they are taken out together.

Yun Xi's eyes lit up.

It's funny to say that she has traveled to the present, and she really has no chance to travel around the mountains and rivers. Apart from being busy, she is still busy.

She pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and put aside the little depression that she knew about Concubine De before, and held Yun Shen's hand, "Okay, after Duoduo gets married, we will leave the capital."

……

days and 25 September.

"Mother, how long do you think it will take us to reach the capital?" A five or six-year-old girl sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the rushing water boredly, and asked the woman beside her.

The little girl has a very good appearance, long eyelashes, black eyes, and tender cheeks that can be squeezed out of water. She is just like the fairy boy under the seat of Guanyin who came down from the portrait.The woman beside her looks unparalleled, with elegant temperament, and she is fishing slowly.

This little girl is Zhu Zhu, Yun Xi's favorite daughter, and her name is He Huan.

After Yun Xi and Yun Shen made a plan to go out to play in the mountains and rivers in the study, after Duoduo got married, they left in the stunned eyes of the people in the capital, and they left for nearly two years after they left.Of course, for the sake of keeping filial piety, they certainly cannot say that they are going out to visit mountains and rivers, but only that they are going out to investigate the people's conditions in various places, so as to facilitate the establishment of more libraries.

And in the past two years, Yun Xi has indeed balanced play and work, and has established eighteen libraries in various places in Dachu, and the money spent is all taken from her own account.Because I have a printing workshop, the cost is not high.The local yamen was also very cooperative and directly allocated a piece of land to her.In addition, the glass bought by the royal family was sold to her at cost price, which also greatly reduced her cost. The construction of eighteen libraries cost less than 3 taels of silver.

Yun Shen also used an outsider as a pseudonym, and wrote two or three travel notes, and the sales were pretty good.

After Yun Xi and Yun Shen wandered outside for almost two years, they received the order from Chu Xiyuan, so they could only obediently put away their playfulness and return to the capital.

After all, Yun Shen has already passed his filial piety and can return to his post.

Yun Xi also happened to come back to attend Feng Dongxiang's wedding in October.Feng Dongxiang is now 20 years old, and in everyone's eyes, she is considered an old girl.After Li Lin successfully became a second-class Jinshi last year, he came to propose marriage to Feng Yunshi.After Feng Yunshi inspected him, he saw that he was sincere to Feng Dongxiang, so he accepted the marriage.

At that time, after Li Lin became a Jinshi, Lord Wang, the Tuntian doctor, wanted to betroth his daughter to him, but Li Lin firmly refused.

Feng Yun himself was very satisfied with this marriage. After Li Lin became a Jinshi, he was also a Shujishi.Da Chu itself has a saying that non-jinshi cannot enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin cannot enter the cabinet, and Shujishi is also known as the prime minister.Li Lin was able to be a Jinshi at a young age, and he was admitted to a Shujishi, so he was young and promising.It's no wonder that Mr. Wang was happy to see Lie Xin, and wanted to betroth his daughter to him.

Yun Xi came back to her senses, and keenly realized that because of Zhuzhu's words, all the original fish ran away. She said helplessly, "We will arrive in the capital in five days."

Zhuzhu sighed, and said old-fashionedly: "I'm tired of sitting on a boat." It's so funny for a child to have such an expression.

At the beginning, I was very excited to take the boat Zhuzhu, but after waiting for a few days, I felt very bored.

Yun Xi said: "You girl is troublesome. I was asked whether you want to take a carriage or a boat. You insisted on taking a boat, but now you don't like taking a boat."

But it is true that by boat is much faster than by horse-drawn carriage.Yun Xi and the others returned to the capital from the southernmost end. If they took a carriage, because of the children, they couldn't speed up, and it would take at least fifteen days.

And the boat is more stable.

Yun Xi said: "If you have nothing to do, how about going to play the piano?"

Zhuzhu has already started to learn the guqin. The guqin she learned was a guqin that Yunxi found out from the warehouse. It was made with the essence of paulownia and zinc wood. It took a year to build it with the most skilled craftsmen. time.Zhuzhu liked it very much after getting it, and used it to play the piano every day.

In the process of her playing the piano, Yun Xi also discovered that her supernatural ability was really related to the rhythm, she could attack people with sound, and even hypnotized to a certain extent.It's just that she is still young and her ability is not stable, so Yun Xi just asks her to practice guqin more now.In addition, Yun Xi asked her to start practicing flute, piccolo, Xiao and other musical instruments.When Zhuzhu grows up, he can't carry Guqin with him all the time. It's not bad to use flute as a weapon.

After the hidden gate general Tianyinmen was destroyed earlier, he also got some martial arts cheats of Tianyinmen, and Zhuzhu can also combine this martial arts with supernatural powers at that time.

Zhuzhu thought for a while, and felt that it was really boring to continue watching her mother go fishing, so she might as well go back and play the piano.So she went back to her room to practice the piano.

After she left, Yun Xi's ears became much quieter, and she was finally able to seriously fish.

In the end, she caught several sea bass. This season's sea bass is very plump. Yun Xi took two of them as sashimi, and the others as hand-made fish balls, which were the most juicy.

Zhuzhu especially likes to eat, and she ate a bowl full, but Yun Xi was worried that she would accumulate food if she ate too much, so she didn't let her eat more.

Little Pudding is fine, and Little Pudding is now three years old.Although he is young, his words and deeds are very classy. According to Yun Xi, he is pretending to the extreme.Her son looked up to Yun Shen in everything, and after eating, he gently wiped the corners of his mouth with his own small handkerchief, looking dignified.

Although Yun Xi loves her children, she will still ask for what should be asked.Other children of this age have to be fed, and Pudding started to learn to eat by himself when he was two years old.When he started eating, his face was covered with rice grains, but after a few months of practice, he was able to eat freely.

Up to now, the manner of eating is no worse than that of some adults.

Seeing this, Yun Xi was also very proud.

After dinner, the servant girls put away the bowls and chopsticks.

Yin Dan combed the woman's hair in a bun, and put a coat on Yun Xi very naturally, the night was cool.Yindan married Yunda last year, and still stays by Yunxi's side to serve.When she found out about the adulterous relationship between the two, Yun Xi was really shocked, and felt that the confidentiality between the two was too good.

One is Yun Xi's little butler, and the other is Yun Shen's right-hand man. The two are a strong alliance.

"Girl, do you want to stop at the pier in Hanzhou tomorrow, so that you can replenish some vegetables?"

They have almost eaten enough vegetables and meat these days, and they need to add some.

Yun Xi nodded, "It's time to restock. I remember that Hanzhou's makeup satin is very good, and I can just pick some for Dongxiang as a makeup gift."

After they returned to the capital, they could just catch up with the makeup ceremony.In the past two years, Dongxiang has printed the real booklet, plus serialized comics, earning herself a generous dowry.When Yun Xi and Yun Shen ran out to visit the mountains and rivers, the butlers of the Yun Mansion were basically handed over to her, Mrs. Yang and the two nuns.

Speaking of Dongxiang, Yun Xi recalled that her younger sister Yurong's marriage had already been decided, and it was Chu Xiyuan who pointed out that she was married to Ke Chenglei, a third-class guard of Yunshen's subordinate, who was going to get married next year.Ke Chenglei has a loyal personality, and Yun Xi is not worried about his character.In addition, he was still Yun Shen's subordinate, so he didn't dare to treat Yu Rong badly.

Thinking that her younger sisters were all married, Yun Xi couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

Yindan said: "Hanzhou released a new type of fine cotton cloth some time ago. The cotton cloth looks like satin, but it is as breathable and soft as cotton cloth when worn on the body. I don't know how it is made. Why don't you buy some Go back, and next year I can add makeup to Miss Yurong."

It's okay for Yun Xi to think about it, and talk to Yun Shen, and decide to stay here in Hanzhou for a day to buy things.

Yun Shen naturally didn't care, anyway, they just needed to rush back to the capital before the end of the month.

Early the next morning, before Yun Xi woke up, Zhuzhu had already run to their room.Fortunately, Yun Xi and Yun Shen didn't do any harmonious sports last night, otherwise it would be bad for the children to come in and see them.

Yun Xi got up helplessly, changed her clothes, and yawned, "Why did Zhuzhu wake up so early?"

Zhuzhu smiled and said, "Mother, aren't we going to go shopping in Hanzhou today?"

Yun Xi said speechlessly: "It hasn't landed yet!"

This girl is too excited.But Yun Xi could also understand her, she was really tired of staying on the boat during this time.

After washing up, the boat slowly approached the shore of Hanzhou.

Zhuzhu said: "Mom, I want to eat tofu curd."

Yun Xi looked at her daughter's delicate appearance, and said, "Okay, let's go eat Douhua."

Yun Shen has always been out of interest in shopping, so he still stayed on the boat, just bringing Little Pudding with him.Yun Xi felt that she should give Yunshen the title of the best dad in Dachu.

At the end was Yun Xi holding Zhu Zhu, with Yin Dan, Shuang Jiang, and six guards beside her.However, these six are more appropriate to say that they are carrying bags rather than guards.

"Which store sells that silk floss?"

Yin Dan collected the information quite completely, and said: "It's just at Wanjia Cloth Shop, they may not open so early, but we can go to the nearby Yuelai Building for breakfast first."

Zhuzhu doesn't care where to eat at all, as long as there is the bean curd she wants to eat.She still has a strong taste when eating bean curd, and likes to eat salty ones.

Yun Xi decided to go to Yuelai Building together first, and then ordered a box, and ordered some good breakfasts from their family.

After Zhuzhu ate a bowl of bean curd and a cage of shrimp dumplings, she rubbed her belly with satisfaction.In the past two years of floating outside, the food must not be as fine as that in the mansion, which has also improved the hardship level of the two children in the family, and they are no longer as delicate as before.

The shrimp dumplings in Yue Lai Lou are very good. Once you taste the shrimp inside, you will know that they are freshly caught in the morning and made directly.

It also costs three liang of silver to eat this table, which is considered expensive in a place like Hanzhou, but Yun Xi thinks it is worth the money.She and Yun Shen have been together for the past few years, and their tastes have become closer.She thinks it's okay, and Yun Shen should be able to accept it.Yun Xi then booked another table and asked them to deliver it to the boat.

Their ship was an official ship anyway, and it was of the best class, very conspicuous, and Yue Lai Fu's men would not worry about finding it.When the shopkeeper heard that it was sent to the official ship, his tone became more respectful.

After breakfast, Wanjia Cloth also opened its shop.After Yun Xi said that she wanted to buy silk floss, the shop assistant led them to the innermost part.The price of this silk floss is even more expensive than ordinary silk and satin, one piece costs ten taels of silver.

Yun Xi took a look, there are many styles here, rich and noble, elegant, all kinds of styles.

All kinds of tribute silks and satins are piled up in her house, except for the makeup brocade and this silk cotton, there is really no need to waste money to buy them.Silk cotton is a new product launched by Wanjia this year, and even the capital doesn't have it, so Yun Xi bought some more, directly purchased [-] horses, and it's okay to give it away when the time comes.

Her generosity really stunned the buddy, and quickly invited the shopkeeper out.

Wanjia itself specializes in making fabrics, and the shopkeeper has good eyesight. Looking at the clothes on Yunxi and Zhuzhu, he knew that they were either rich or expensive, and said very respectfully: "Since Madam bought so much, why don't you leave your address. How about we send it to you directly later?"

Yun Xi nodded, which also saved her effort.In addition to the silk cotton, she bought ten bolts of makeup brocade and it was almost there.

Zhuzhu also picked a few horses for herself in a decent manner.

Yun Xi deliberately joked, "Since you want these two kinds yourself, you have to actually wear the clothes you make when the time comes, so you can't waste them."

Zhuzhu nodded vigorously, "I know, you have to be responsible!"

It's like when Zhuzhu is eating, Yun Xi will stare at her and finish eating as much as she puts into the bowl.

After buying the cloth, Yun Xi bought the vegetables and meat needed for three days in one go.Especially buy more eggs, both Zhuzhu and Pudding like to eat egg custard.

Yun Xi saw someone selling fresh milk in the market, and bought another bottle back.When they are on the boat, they can also make sugar steamed shortbread, which is also a compliment to the two children who have been well-behaved recently.

Yun Xi didn't return to the boat until everything was purchased.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on her body, outlining slender and soft lines.

Just as Yun Xi was about to board the boat, she saw an official step forward and saluted them, "I've seen Madam."

Yun Xi paused, her attitude was gentle and distant, "What's the matter?"

The little official quickly explained his purpose of coming.The main reason is that someone surnamed Feng wanted to ask if they could borrow a ride.

It is said that this family surnamed Feng is still from Mrs. Tongzhi. They took an official boat to go to the capital, but they were unlucky, the boat broke down, and they docked here in Hanzhou.The official ships on Hanzhou's side had already been used, and it happened that Yun Xi and the others docked, so this little official was entrusted to see if he could take a ride.

If the official position is relatively low, the small official must arrange it directly.But the official ship that Yun Xi and the others were on could only be boarded by ministers of the third rank and their family members, how could a petty official dare to offend such a person, his tone was extremely humble.

It is common for people to encounter difficulties when they go out, and Yun Xi doesn't mind lending a helping hand.

She nodded and asked, "How many people are coming?"

The little official said: "There are 12 people in a family, and there are about [-] servants."

Even if 100 people could live in the boat that Yun Xi was on, it was big enough.Generally, there are dozens of officials and eunuchs when they go out.

She nodded and agreed.

After boarding the boat, she told Yun Shen about it.

Yun Shen said lightly: "The little official asked me first, and I let them ask you directly. After all, you are the one who is in charge of our family."

Yun Shen is a big man, he is not ashamed at all of being taken care of by his wife, on the contrary he is proud of it.

Yun Xi chuckled, laughed directly, and asked again: "Have you eaten the breakfast I sent you? I think the shrimp dumplings taste very good, you should like it."

Yun Shen said, "It's delicious, but it's not as good as what you made."

Yun Xi said: "It's good to be able to eat this kind of food outside. When we get back to our house, I'll make you some more delicious food."

The husband and wife are talking softly here.About half an hour later, the Feng family came on board.

Yun Xi arranged them on the other side. They settled in fifteen houses, and there were two small kitchens where they could cook for themselves.

Yun Xi practiced calligraphy with Yun Shen for a while, and after the boat reopened, Shuang Jiang came in and said, "Then Mrs. Feng wants to come over to say hello, and thank you for your help."

Yun Xi put down the pen in her hand and said, "Then go and meet them."

She washed her hands, freshened her hair, put a daffodil hairpin carved from Hetian jade and a golden phoenix pendant on her hair, and wore sapphire earrings on her ears before going out to the main room.

It is said to be the main room, but it is actually the largest room on the ship, located in the center.

Just as Yun Xi entered, a woman about forty years old stood up and blessed her body slightly.There are three girls standing behind her, ranging in age from fourteen to sixteen, all dressed in the same style, but the colors and patterns are slightly different, they are sisters from the same family.

Mrs. Feng said: "My concubine is the Feng family. I have met Madam, but I don't know what Madam is called."

Feng Shi originally thought that the third grade's wife should be at least five or sixty years old, but who knew it was such a young and beautiful woman.She thought she was well-informed, but she still had never seen such an amazing appearance, which set off her pretty daughter into a vulgar fan, especially the other party's demeanor, which they couldn't even catch up with.

Yun Xi sat down and said lightly, "You can call me Mrs. Yun."

After Feng thanked her for her assistance, he also introduced himself.It was only then that Yun Xi found out that her husband was Tongzhou Tongzhi's wife, and she came to Beijing specially to attend the marriage of a niece.Of the three people behind her, the oldest and best-looking one is her daughter Feng Donghua, and the other two are her nieces in the next room, one is Feng Dongxiu and the other is Feng Donglan.

Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, remembering that Dong Xiang's hometown was in Tongzhou.Plus the names of a few girls, and the fact that the other party came to attend the wedding banquet of her niece... She somewhat understood the identities of these people.

I'm afraid these are members of the Feng family...

Dongxiang would occasionally bring up things at home, so she knew something about it.Her life in Feng's family was really not easy, and many clansmen saw that there was no male in their house, so they wanted to forcefully adopt their own son. After all, Feng Yun was a princess of the state at the beginning, with a generous dowry.After being resolutely rejected by Feng Yunshi, the nephew of an aunt of Erfang even used his brains, and with the help of Erfang, he almost succeeded.Thanks to Feng Yunshi's carefulness, a disaster was avoided. After that, Feng Yunshi took his granddaughter directly to her natal family.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi's attitude became a little colder, and he went back after exchanging casual greetings with them.

After she left, Mrs. Feng also took her daughter and niece back to the room, and told them: "This Mrs. Yun is an extraordinary person at first glance. When you get along with her, be more respectful. If you please the nobleman, it will be good for your future." .”

Feng Donglan said: "No matter how powerful she is, she can't be more powerful than Mrs. Guogong. Dongxiang's aunt is a dignified Mrs. Guogong. Hey, she is also Mrs. Yun. Could it be that she is a side branch of the Yunfu?"

It's no wonder that such an age can sit on this official ship, it must be in the name of the Duke's Mansion.

Feng Donglan suddenly became envious, jealous and hated, the people in the Duke's Mansion are just different.The opponent's aura was so oppressive that she didn't dare to look up at that time, she just felt that the opponent's hairpin was so delicate.

Feng said: "Dongxiang has no father or mother, but the Yun family must have arranged for her to be able to marry a promising Jinshi. It seems that she is doing well in the Yun residence. When you go this time, remember to marry me together." She gets along well and reminds her that everyone, as daughters of the Feng family, should watch over and get along with each other, and don't lose your relationship because of a little conflict in the past."

From Dongxiang's marriage, he knew that Duke Yun's family valued her very much.Feng regretted that she didn't get in touch with their grandparents and grandchildren more and more.Otherwise, if the third aunt said a few good words in front of Duke Yun, her husband would be able to go to the next level if he didn't keep his husband.

This is also one of the purposes of Feng's bringing people all the way to Beijing to attend the wedding banquet, in order to mend the relationship.It's just that she thought beautifully, but she didn't think about whether Feng Dongxiang and Feng Yunshi would like to have friendly contacts with them.

Feng Donghua was a little displeased. As the daughter of the head of the Feng clan, she was the most sought after since she was a child, and she even looked down on Feng Dongxiang, who was ordinary in appearance and restrained her parents.Who knew that Feng Shui would take turns, but now she had to flatter Feng Dongxiang's shabby household, and dissatisfaction was revealed on her face.

Feng Donglan and Feng Dongxiu nodded again and again, "We will. Although we have quarreled with Sister Dongxiang, it was because we were young and ignorant. After all, we are sisters."

Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then let the two nieces go down to rest.

After ordering people to close the doors and windows, she looked at her spoiled daughter and couldn't help sighing, "You have to admit that Dongxiang married better than you."

She also found a marriage for her daughter. The future son-in-law is a scholar, and the future father-in-law is also a sixth-rank official.It's just that it's not as good as Feng Dongxiang's.

"Dongxiang's husband is promising, and there is the Duke's Mansion behind her. All she knows are the daughters of high-class people in the capital, and these are all her connections. Otherwise, why do you think Donglan and Dongxiu want to follow here?"

Originally, she only planned to bring her daughter and son, but because of the request of the other rooms, she still brought two more nieces.

"As for the second bedroom...they offended the third bedroom so badly, how dare they appear in front of Dongxiang and the third aunt."

Feng's talking and talking, let her daughter understand that although she is the daughter of the patriarch, she is also a famous task in Tongzhou, but it is really nothing to put in the capital.Although Feng Donghua was still very unwilling, he put away his previous reluctance.

Feng Shi said: "You have been sweet-talking since you were a child, and you have gotten very close to that Mrs. Yun during the past few days on the boat. I think her dress is not a simple person."

She could still recognize the Yun brocade that was a tribute, and with that exquisite jewelry, Mrs. Yun couldn't afford even 1000 taels of it. 1000 taels is equivalent to chewing for their whole family for a year.

Feng Donghua recalled the startled glance, nodded, and complained again: "It's just that Mrs. Yun is really cold to me, and she doesn't seem like an easy-going person."

Feng Shi said: "It's normal for them to be a little bit arrogant with their backgrounds. The other party was able to allow us to board the boat, which shows that they are also kind. After all, you have a little knowledge, and you haven't seen a really proud person. That's amazing. Don't look straight at people."

Feng Shi thought that she and her daughter were the only ones in the room, so she spoke out what was in her heart.

It's just that she didn't know that Shuang Jiang had already told Yun Xi directly about their conversation.

Yin Dan pouted, "I didn't expect them to be relatives of Miss Dongxiang's family."

There is a lot of disdain between words.

With such a personality, it is really a good idea to want to cling to their Yunfu.

Yun Xi said: "Don't worry about them, Dongxiang is a measured person and won't be easily fooled by them."

Dongxiang has no feelings for the Feng family, but in the eyes of the world, she is still a daughter of the Feng family after all, so after the marriage is settled, she tells the Feng family symbolically.Unexpectedly, the Feng family really came to Beijing.

It's fine if the Feng family keeps their own law and order, but if they are obsessed with obsession, she doesn't mind using them as the first chickens to be killed back in Beijing.
