The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 336
One flower blooms, another branch.

Although the Han family's mansion is still magnificent and full of wealth, the servants who come and go hold their breaths, and all of them have melancholy on their faces. shadows.It's no wonder that the servants of the Han family reacted like this. During this period of time, the life of the Japanese and Han family was not good at all.

The name of Huangshang was slapped, and the business of the shops under the Han family's name was squeezed out and several of them were closed, but the little Jiangge barely survived by relying on its past reputation.There are also many people outside who fell into trouble and stepped forward to share a piece of the pie.The original family property of several million has shrunk to [-]% of its original value in less than half a month.Although he can still hold on to the airs, he will eventually become an ordinary wealthy businessman if he continues day after day.

The people in the other rooms of the Han family felt a lot of resentment towards Han Ping, thinking that it was because he indulged his daughter too much and made the other party offend Yunfu, which caused this disaster.Many people even took advantage of Han Ping's prestige being knocked down, and wanted to adopt their son.Not only did Han Ping have to work hard to manage his business, but he also had to deal with relatives who had stabbed him in the back. After a few days, his head was covered with gray hair and he was in a state of desperation.

The servants of the Han family have also been cut in half these days, and the remaining people see the life of the master's family getting worse day by day, and they can't help but feel sad and worry about their own future.

Han Ruyi was sitting in her boudoir with a dazed look and a haggard face. It was obvious that she was having a hard time during this time.In the past, those who flattered her would shy away when they saw her, as if there was some plague on her body, for fear of getting involved with her.

The status of the Han family plummeted even more, and everyone blamed her.

Thinking of this, Han Ruyi's eyes filled with tears, and she felt extremely wronged. This was completely different from what she had imagined. The Yunfu did not compromise with them because they had the ice flame in their hands, but rather ruthlessly attacked them. hot.

Their family was cheated by that man!
There was a knock on the door, and Han Ruyi didn't want people to see her appearance at this time, so she quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and let people in.

It was Han Ping who came in.

Half of Han Ping's hair is black and the other half is white.

He walked in, heaved a long sigh, and said, "Ruyi, let's leave the capital as a family."

Han Ping didn't blame his daughter. After all, it was a decision he and his daughter made at the time. During this period of time, Ruyi's life was no better than hers, and I didn't know how much cynicism I heard.

Han Ruyi suddenly raised her head, subconsciously grasped the hem of the skirt with her hands, and bit her lower lip with her white teeth, leaving a few light lip marks.

Are you leaving the capital?As long as they leave the capital and go to a remote place, no one will know how their family lost face in the capital.

It's just that when I leave the bustling capital city, I won't be able to get the latest jewelry and wear the most exquisite silk and satin immediately. Even if I want to get married, I will be a gentleman at most.As long as he imagined that scene, Han Ruyi's heart was full of unwillingness.

She is not reconciled, she is not reconciled to leaving here like a bereaved dog, and will be lost to everyone for the rest of her life.

She raised her head, her eyes seemed to be lit with fireworks, "Father, I, I don't want to leave the capital."

"Even if we leave the capital and live in a place where we don't know us. We have so much wealth, can we keep it? In the capital, anyway, our family is now the focus of people's attention. Even if other people want to occupy the family property , and will not be too blatant."

Han Ping showed bitterness, "But if we don't come up with a good solution and continue, our family property will be almost ruined."

Thinking of the century-old foundation ruined in his hands, Han Ping was filled with bitter regret, "If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have listened to that person."

The man talked wildly, and took the initiative to give Bingyan to their home, and said that it was something that Yunfu had been looking for.Their family can rely on this ice flame to make a big start to the Lion of Yunfu, and even let Han Ruyi be a noble concubine without any problem.

In addition, during that period of time, the Lu family was struggling with each other, so they were moved and planned to take Bingyan to let Ruyi marry to Yunfu.Ruyi was a little reluctant to be a concubine at first, thinking that if she released the Han family's property as a dowry, even the Hou family would be able to marry, and then after she secretly met Yun Guogong, she was willing.

It's just that the development of the matter is not at all what they imagined. The Yunfu did not accept their conditions at all, and let them fall to the present situation.

It's just that it's too late to regret, the so-called one mistake will cause eternal hatred.

Han Ruyi took a deep breath and said, "Father, since we have offended Yunfu, let's find another backer."

Han Ping said: "Who would dare to risk the news of offending Yunfu to be our backer?"

After being ruthlessly beaten by Han Ruyi, she really didn't have those charming thoughts towards Yun Shen, if anything, she only had hatred.

Han Ruyi said: "There is also His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is neither hot nor cold with the Yun family."

"However, the Crown Princess has a very good relationship with Mrs. Yun."

Han Ruyi resolutely said: "The Crown Princess is the Crown Princess, and His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness. Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. I believe that His Royal Highness will be able to ascend the throne in a few years. After he becomes the Son of Heaven, will the Yun family dare to be different from the Son of Heaven? "

"As long as we sell the property in the seller's house and seek refuge with the crown prince, His Royal Highness the crown prince will be able to protect us somewhat for the sake of our loyalty."

The more Han Ruyi talked, the more she felt that her thoughts made sense. She pursed her lips and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness's aide, Prince Wang Yue, is not yet married..."

These days, she didn't just sit at home and feel sad, but also searched a lot of news, and only then did she find the most suitable candidate.And she can know that this matter is still wrong.

Han Ping was finally persuaded by his daughter and nodded in agreement.

Han Ru thought that her father was successfully persuaded, and imagined the scene after the crown prince ascended the throne in the future, and his heart suddenly burst into excitement.

It's just that even if you marry the prince's confidant, if you want to fight Yunfu, it's still like an ant shaking a tree.

Han Ruyi suddenly remembered something, and lowered her voice subconsciously, "Father, after His Highness ascends the throne, as the emperor, he will definitely have the idea of ​​wanting to live forever."

"I heard that there is a Daoist Zhang who is usually good at practicing elixir. After eating his elixir, he can make people feel refreshed and refreshed. It's just because Taoist Qingxu has learned from the past, so this Daoist Zhang is very low-key. , and only a few believers know his abilities."

"After His Highness ascends the throne, we will tell him about the existence of Zhang Zhenren, and we will definitely be able to get into His Highness's eyes because of this credit."

Han Ruyi thought of everything very beautifully.

Han Ping nodded, so he can't be blamed for being partial to his daughter. His daughter has always had dimples in her breasts. The only pity is that she was born with the wrong gender, otherwise she would be able to make a lot of difference.

such a pity……

He thought of the Bingyan, and asked: "As for the Bingyan that caused trouble, do you still want to keep it?" This thing is not easy to preserve at all, it must be stored in a cold environment all year round, so the Han family wanted to save the Bingyan. , and dug a cellar underground, covered with ice on all sides.The weather is hot now, and the ice cubes melt quickly, so every time they have to be replaced with new ice cubes before they completely melt.The money spent on it in a day is tens of taels, and it costs thousands of taels a month.

Han Ping actually didn't want to keep this thing in his heart, not only because it cost a lot, but also because he thought it was unlucky and brought a lot of bad luck to their family.

A trace of disgust flashed in Han Ruyi's eyes, "Then destroy it." If this thing is really important to Yunfu, judging from the fact that they and Yunfu are at odds, destroying this thing will cause some troubles for Yunfu also good.

It can only be said that Han Ruyi really thinks too highly of herself.To Yun Xi, the Han family is just that dust, and unless she takes the initiative to do something about it, she really doesn't care about it.

……

Ever since the incident of Bingyan, Yun Xi had planted a nail in the Han residence.Han Ruyi and her father's calculations are also clear.

She looked at the flame contained in a lantern made of ice, and after admiring it for a while, she asked enthusiastically, "Is this the ice flame?"

Li Qiu nodded, "The Han family planned to destroy this thing, so our people stole it out."

Ice Flame is not only difficult to store, but what is needed to ignite it is not ordinary oil, but ice crystals from the Tianshan Mountains that are more than a thousand years old.

Yun Xi said; "Put this thing away. Although it is no longer needed, it is still a rare item."

Yun Mansion is not short of saltpeter, so there is no need to go to the Royal Ice Factory to buy those ice cubes, which saves a lot of expenses, especially in summer.

Waving her hand to ask Li Qiu to send Bing Yan down, Yun Xi gently caressed her swollen belly, thinking about Han Ruyi.

Knowing that someone was like a poisonous snake lurking in the grass, waiting for an opportunity to deal with their family, Yun Xi's first reaction was to eliminate the source of danger and not leave the other party with the slightest hope.

But after knowing the method Han Ruyi planned to use to charm her, she changed her mind.

The so-called elixir of this era is unknown to others, but doesn't she know it?The main ingredients are the so-called cinnabar, mercury, jade spring, etc... If these things are eaten for a long time, the body will have problems sooner or later.

Which one of the emperors who thought they could live as long as heaven after taking the elixir went away early?

For Yun Xi, the longer Chu Ling lived, the more unfavorable it was for Chu Tianzhan. Since ancient times, how many princes have successfully ascended the throne?As long as he gets older and older, he can't help but look at his son who is in full bloom and prosperity.

Rather than waiting until Chu Tianzhan is abolished, it is better to let Chu Ling go early.

It's just that the crime of regicide cannot be related to Chu Tianzhan anyway.Based on Han Ruyi's resentment towards Yunfu, she will definitely choose to support the other concubines in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion. Even if this incident is revealed, it has nothing to do with Yang Yeqing and Tian Zhan.

Yun Xi would not kill Han Ruyi directly just because she hated her, such a good pawn was useless.

The corner of her mouth curled up, and she decided to help match Han Ruyi and Wang Yue.It's fine even if it's not Wang Yue, anyway, Chu Ling's confidant is not just him.

……

Before Yun Xi could help arrange for the so-called hero to save the beauty, Han Ruyi had already married Niu Qun with lightning speed.

Niu Quan is another disciple of Chu Ling, and he has already achieved the position of fellow acquaintance.He is almost 30 years old this year. He originally had a wife, but his wife died after giving birth to a daughter.After he was filial piety, Niu Quan thought about finding another house to fill in the house.

Han Ruyi is young and beautiful, plus he has millions of belongings behind him, the two hit it off, and asked the master to make a match, and after finding out that it was a match made in heaven, they made a marriage agreement.

Everyone knew that Niu Quan belonged to Chu Ling, and Chu Ling was the next emperor. Because of this, no one targeted the Han family anymore.It's just that the Lu family couldn't help dropping some more porcelain, after all, from now on, they lost a money bag.

Yun Xi was really surprised, after all, Han Ruyi's target was Wang Yue from the beginning.Wang Yue is younger than Niu Quan, capable, and more highly valued. What's more important is that as soon as he enters the door, he is a real lady, not a stepmother.

After some inquiring, I found out that it was because Wang Yue was already engaged, and his wife was the daughter of his mentor.Han Ruyi had no choice but to take the next best thing and shift his target to the whole body of the cow.

Perhaps in order to avoid new accidents caused by Ye Changmeng, the two got married very quickly. By the time everyone realized it, the two had already exchanged numbers, and they were going to get married at the end of the year.

Li Qiu asked: "Girl, after this marriage is settled, will she still be there without us?"

Yun Xi smiled, she would not cancel her previous words just because Niu Quan is Chu Ling's disciple.

She said casually: "It's natural, people have to keep their promises, don't they?"

Yun Shen also had the same point of view as hers, and he was more direct than Yun Xi. When Niu Quan was present, he would just throw up his sleeves and leave without giving anyone face at all.

After everyone watched the excitement for a while, soon there was new gossip in the capital, so they put it aside for the time being.

As for Yun Xi, she basically stayed at home during this time.

I don't know if it's because of the spell before, but the appearance of her pregnancy is not very good.Throwing up whatever you eat is just normal, and the whole person is sick.Zhuzhu was worried about her, and even asked for leave from school to take care of her.

He also washed his hands and made soup for Yun Xi.

Yun Xi's culinary skills can be described as unparalleled, well-known in the capital, but her daughter has not inherited any of them.It's a kitchen killer. Every time I cook, it makes a mess of smoke. After several visits, the kitchen has been rebuilt several times.

It's just that she is still practicing unremittingly. Although the final product is not very good-looking, it can barely be eaten.

Maybe it's because of the daughter's filial piety, or maybe the baby in the stomach also has the instinct to drive away benefits and avoid harm. I feel that if I die, my sister doesn't know what to make of it. After eating her daughter's bowl of millet porridge that exudes a burnt smell , Yun Xi didn't vomit anymore.

Zhuzhu suddenly became elated, feeling that it was all due to her, and happily showed off in front of Yun Shen.

Yun Shen loved this daughter the most, and when he saw her cute appearance, he directly gave her a hot spring Zhuang Zi as a reward.

Zhuzhu happily accepted it, and she said with her fingers that she would post a post in a few days to ask her friends to play on Zhuangzi.

After getting rid of all the disturbances from the outside world, the Yun family still lived a leisurely life.

On the fifth day of October, Yun Xi suddenly felt labor pains and started to mobilize.

She was not the first child, and her body was always in good shape, so she gave birth to her second son, Little Sheep, in less than three hours.This nickname was taken together by Zhuzhu and Little Pudding.Her younger sister Yang Yurong just gave birth to a daughter more than a month earlier than her.

Zhuzhu felt very sorry for not being her younger sister. She had prepared a lot of small gifts for her younger sister, but now they were all in vain.Fortunately, Yurong had a girl there, so she gave the gift to her little cousin instead.She was only depressed for a while, and soon teased her brother happily.

Little Pudding was also very happy to be an older brother for the first time, and every day he took the Four Books and Five Classics and ran to Little Sheep's cradle to endorse, expressing that he would teach his younger brother to read, which made Yun Xi dumbfounded, and hurriedly told her that Little Sheep was too young to read. When it comes to studying.

Chu Xiyuan still sent a lot of rewards for the little sheep's three baptisms and the full moon ceremony.But I didn't come here in person.

Yun Xi accepted the reward, and the original joy in her heart also decreased a bit.In the past, Zhuzhu and Little Pudding had full moon ceremonies, and Chu Xiyuan paid private visits in surreptitious clothes, but this time he did not receive such treatment. It was not because the Yun family was not favored, but because Chu Xiyuan's health was declining.

The frequency of going to court has been greatly reduced, and most of the papers in hand have been handed over to Chu Ling for correction.

Many people have prepared for the possibility of the Holy Majesty's death at any time.

When Yun Xi entered the palace, under the cover of Yun Shen, he also tried to inject supernatural powers into Chu Xiyuan's body, but unfortunately his body is riddled with holes. It's like nothing happens, and the effect is not great.

After trying various methods, Chu Xiyuan was more open-minded than the others.

I just don't know if it's because Chu Xiyuan also knows that the relationship between Yunfu and Chu Ling is not easy to deal with, and he has made several preparations during this period.For example, Yun Shen, Lu Yiran and Zhao Wenshu were all promoted.

Yun Shen changed from a third-rank guard to a commander of the capital, Lu Yiran was also awarded as a third-rank general Guide, and Zhao Wenshu, who was Yun Xi's stepfather, became a minister of the interior.

The combined power of these few people alone is enough to make many people afraid, not to mention that Yun Xi's brothers-in-law are also quite capable, and those who are close to her have more or less been promoted.

Even if something happened to Chu Xiyuan, Chu Ling really thought that the Yun family was not pleasing to the eye and wanted to do something. The combination of these forces would make him more or less scrupulous.

Yun Xi was just thinking about the worst. She felt that although Chu Ling had many shortcomings, she didn't care about it like this.

On November 28th, Chu Xiyuan suddenly ordered her and Yun Shen to be called into the palace.

Although they didn't know why, the couple quickly changed their clothes and entered the palace in a hurry.

When seeing Chu Xiyuan, Yun Xi was really taken aback.It's just that I haven't seen him for a while, but Chu Xiyuan's condition has gotten worse. He has completely lost weight. The dragon robe looks empty on him, and the part of his arm is even more shockingly skinny.His eyes were sunken, but those eyes were still full of wise light.

As soon as the two saluted, they were called up by Chu Xiyuan and rewarded with a seat.

But after sitting down, Chu Xiyuan did not speak for a long time.

He didn't speak, and Yun Xi and Yun Shen couldn't take the initiative, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Even though Yun Xi lowered her head, she used her abilities to carefully sense every inch of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Well, in this room, except for the three of them, all the servants and maids were sent away, and no one was even left at the door, as if they were afraid that someone would eavesdrop on their conversation.Yun Xi could feel that Chu Xiyuan had been looking at Yun Shen.

In addition to the usual kindness in his eyes, there was also excitement and hesitation desperately suppressed.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Xiyuan coughed and said, "Yun Xi, the noble concubine hasn't seen you for a long time, and she misses you very much. You can talk to the noble concubine."

Yun Xi's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, so she came into the palace just to sit in charge for a quarter of an hour?
It's just that it's not her turn to question Chu Xiyuan's decision, she nodded, and retreated to Concubine Degui's palace after another half-gift.

Now the concubine Defei in the harem is the only one, but perhaps because she is worried about Chu Xiyuan's body, the corners of her eyes and brows are covered with a faint sadness, and she only smiled faintly after seeing Yun Xi.

"I heard that your little sheep is very cute."

When Yun Xi talked about her son, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile, "It's only been over a month, how can you tell if it's cute or not."

Concubine De pursed her lips and smiled, "You and Yun Shen's looks tell you that your two children will not be far behind. It's a pity that I don't have a daughter of the same age, otherwise I would have to kidnap a child from your family to be my son-in-law."

Her tone was a touch of regret.

Yun Xi chatted with Concubine De for almost half an hour, and Yun Shen also came.

Before she left, Concubine De rewarded her with many gifts as usual, saying it was for the little sheep.

At the end, she casually pointed to one of the boxes and said, "Here are the books you told me about earlier. I copied a copy and put them in the box."

After hearing this, Yun Xi understood that she was afraid that there was something in the box that Concubine De intended to give to her but was inconvenient to say, but she smiled and said: "I was just talking casually at the time, but who knew it was exhausting?" It's a show for my wife."

Concubine De said: "It's not considered tiring, I haven't much to do these days, so I started writing."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yun Xi and Yun Shen went back home.
