Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife
Chapter 114 Mysterious life experience
Chapter 114 Mysterious Life Experience (Part [-])
Unable to move his body, Xu Han could only blink and blink his eyes hard, and finally confirmed that this was not an illusion.
Then, my brain exploded.
He he he... what did he just say!
"I..." Xu Han's heart beat a little faster.
Having grown up so big, many people came to her door to say kisses, but he was the first one who dared to express his heart to her directly like him.
Don't know how to react at all.
"Second Highness, is there some misunderstanding between us?" Xu Han calmed down slowly, swallowed his saliva, and gasped for breath.They've only met a few times, how could he like her?
"I'm sorry, I was so innocent just now, which frightened the girl." He Lianjin let go of his hand suddenly, the scarlet in his narrow eyes slowly receded, and finally returned to calm.
Xu Han thought this person was very strange, "Then what you just said..."
"I mistook the person." He Lianjin didn't look at her again, turned and walked towards the horse, "Don't you want to go back, this place is far from the city, I'll see you off."
It turned out that she was regarded as another girl!
Xu Han touched his nose, feeling inexplicably bored.
On the way to send Xu Han back, He Lianjin didn't say a word.
Before talking about that, in fact, he really wanted to be completely frank.
But at the last moment, he was still discouraged.
Doing so was too abrupt for her, and even more sudden for He Lianyu and He Lianxun, they would immediately look at Han'er.
She is not the younger sister of Zhuangyuan Lang yet, and she does not have any self-protection ability and strong background, so she must not be pushed to the forefront like this.
When he arrived at the gate of Dongyang Marquis Mansion, Xu Han stepped on the stirrup slowly and thanked He Lianjin.
He Lianjin didn't even look at him, and his voice was cold, "He Lianyu doesn't like you, so stop thinking about it."
Xu Han was a little funny, she didn't have any thoughts about He Lianyu at all, okay?
Since He Lianjin has already misunderstood, let him continue to misunderstand. It seems that there is no need to explain to him at all.
Watching He Lianjin ride away on his horse, Xu Han entered the corner gate.
Xu Mao had been waiting outside her yard, and finally seeing her come back, his eyebrows were almost frosted, "Han'er, where have you been?"
"Brother, what's the matter?"
"Godfather has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Godfather?" Xu Han suddenly realized that godmother said that godfather will come back for the Spring Festival in a few days.
She smiled, "Okay, I see, I'll go to Hefengyuan to meet him now."
After going back to the house and tidying up, Xu Han followed Xu Mao to Hefengyuan.
When Yun Chong left half a year ago, the siblings were just the grandchildren of the old lady's best friend. When he came back half a year later, the two of them became godsons and daughters of their husband and wife, which was really surprising.
Carefully looking at Xu Mao with a straight figure and Xu Han with a delicate face, Yun Chong nodded in satisfaction, "It seems that Xu Xiaozi and girl Han have had a good life in the past six months."
Without the old lady dictating the house, Fan treated the siblings very well.
Fan looked at Yun Chong with a smile, then looked at Xu Han, "Sister Han, quickly serve tea to your godfather."
"Hey." Xu Han stood up, poured a cup of tea in a regular manner, knelt down in front of Yun Chong, and called out crisply, "Godfather."
Yun Chong raised his brows with joy, handed her a few gold leaves, and gave her a Hetian jade pendant.
In northern Xinjiang, things like gold leaves are very popular, and they are rare in the capital. Gold leaves are light and thin, and they are not too expensive in themselves.
As for the Hetian jade pendant, it is really a special product in northern Xinjiang. Although it is not priceless, it is still a rare item.
Xu Han thanked again.
The last time Fan recognized his goddaughter, Xu Mao even recognized his godson, so he also had the godfather's meeting gift.
Xu Mao was a literati, and Yun Chong brought him a set of the Four Treasures of the High-Class Study.
He liked it very much and put it away like a baby.
After seeing the two relatives, the cousin came.
Yun Anjun, Yun Xirong, and Yun Xueyao of the second bedroom.
Yun Qilan and Yun Anyou of the third room.
Plus a niece Qiu Xia.
Yun Chong is a person who cares about his family and relatives. On weekdays, no matter what grievances there are between the three families, every time he comes back from northern Xinjiang, he will definitely prepare a gift for each of the children of the three families.
Some of the juniors who came to pay their respects to Yun Chong would rather respect the surprise he brought.
Because every year the gift is different.
Only now did he enter the hall, and before he started taking turns to greet him, the seven-year-old Yun Anyou hugged Yun Chong's thigh, "Uncle, Uncle, what fun things did you bring to Anyou this year?"
The third wife Ding's complexion changed, and she hurriedly scolded: "An You, don't be rude!"
Yun Chong stroked his beard with a smile, stroked his little head and asked, "What fun does An You want?"
"I want a sword, like Big Brother."
Yun Chong said "Oh", "Why do you like swords?"
"I will kill anyone who bullies me."
After speaking, the whole room roared with laughter.
Ding's embarrassment was extremely embarrassing, Yun Qilan grabbed her several times when she wanted to go out and drag her son back, and whispered, "Mother, haven't you seen that Uncle likes An You? Let him spend more time with Uncle! "
Ding was worried, "This child talks inexplicable things all day long, so how can he annoy your uncle all of a sudden?"
Yun Qilan said: "No, although uncle is strict with us, he has a very good attitude towards children. He won't annoy An You in front of so many people."
Ding thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there was some truth in it, so he didn't make any more moves to pull Yun Anyou.
Seeing that Yun Chong was so interested in the children of the third room, the second wife Huang was displeased, and said in a sharp voice: "You are such an old man, and you can still speak freely. If the old lady is here, designate Arrange a few more nuns to be trained and educated. It is said that they were not taught well when they were young, and no one taught them when they grew up. We are a noble family with a title. The dignified third young master said this in public and spread it. Wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?"
Mrs. Huang has always been unable to hide her words. She said something, not only slapped Sanfang in the face, but also accused Fan's family management methods in a disguised way compared to the old lady.
For a moment, Ding's and Fan's expressions were a little ugly.
But Yun Qilan suddenly laughed.
Huang raised her eyebrows, "What are you laughing at?"
"I laughed at Second Aunt, who is so old, and said wrong things in public." Yun Qilan said unhurriedly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Huang was furious.
This Yun Qilan, ever since she went to Yingmei Nunnery and came back, she has been completely reborn, her former timidity and cowardice are all gone, she has learned to be sharp and sharp, and she can compete with Yun Xirong's little hoof.
Yun Qilan looked at Huang with a smile, "The second aunt said just now that we are a noble family with a title, isn't that wrong? The one with a title is the eldest uncle, so what does it matter to our family? Even if we can Living in this big mansion is all due to the honor of the long house, and now the second aunt should take all the credit for herself, if it gets out, others will laugh at you for being so old. Don't know the facts."
The face was slapped and slapped.
Huang grinned in anger.
Seeing that she was going to have a seizure, Fan immediately yelled, "Okay!"
Huang secretly clenched his fists and stopped temporarily.
"Since they are all here to greet Lord Hou, why are you arguing? If you go out of this door, if you want to quarrel, go back to your own yard and quarrel. I won't stop you, but Hefengyuan is my territory. If you yell, don't blame me for being rude." Fan became angry, and his momentum should not be underestimated.
Yun Qilan had nothing to say, of course Huang was not convinced, but right now is not the place to get angry, no matter how dissatisfied she has to bear it.
After they made such a fuss, Yun Chong lost interest, so he asked his mother to take Yun Anyou away, distributed the presents to his nephews and nieces, and went to the study in the outer courtyard.
Yun An Yao didn't come to the inner courtyard, and had been waiting for Yun Chong there.
"Father." Seeing Yun Chong, Yun An Yao went up to meet him.
"Brother Yao, have you practiced martial arts seriously in the past six months?"
Yun An Yao was most afraid of his father, so he naturally didn't dare to show his temper in front of Yun Chong, "Father, the boy is serious about studying, if you don't believe me, how about trying some tricks with the boy?"
"Let the horse come here." Yun Chong stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, his appearance as stable as Mount Tai made Yun Anyao secretly admire him.
After warming up, the father and son began to fight.
When Yun Chong comes back every year, he will use this to check whether Yun An Yao has been lazy in the past year.
Except for not being able to handle the relationship with Yun Chuwei, his own sister, Yun Anyao was very concerned about martial arts, and after a few rounds with Yun Chong, he didn't fall behind at all.
Broken leaves flew around, and snow splashed mud.
After an hour of incense sticks, he finally withdrew his hand.
Although Yun An Yao was defeated, he improved much more than half a year ago, but Yun Chong was still not too satisfied, "If you have time, go to Su Xiaozi to discuss and learn from each other. He can give you a lot of experience in this regard."
When Yun Anyao thought that his relationship with Yun Chuwei was still the same, he couldn't help but faint.
Yun Chong asked: "Why, the conflict with Wei girl has not been resolved yet?"
Yun An Yao muffled, "Father, it's not that I don't want to work hard, it's that sister Wei is too cold-tempered, no matter what I do or do, I can't catch her eyes."
Yun Chong snorted coldly, "That's because you didn't find the right one, so it's no wonder she doesn't like it."
Yun An Yao's eyes moved, "Since father knows her so well, why don't you teach the child, how can we make sister Wei willing to recognize me as a brother?"
"I won't teach you." Yun Chong flatly refused, "If you need someone to teach you about this kind of thing, it means that you don't have the consciousness to please them at all, and it's useless to go. A person as transparent as a little girl can't see through it. Are you that careful?"
Yun An Yao pursed her lips.
Yun Chong went to the side and sat down. The maids came to serve tea. He took a sip of the hot tea and asked Yun An Yao, "How is Yun Jingshu?"
Mentioning that person, Yun An Yao's heart twitched, "Ever since she went to Su's house, mother won't let me go and see her. I don't know how she is doing. I only know that she is pregnant. At least in a short time, the Su family's It won't be too difficult for her."
Yun Chong just asked a symbolic question. In fact, he didn't have any feelings about Yun Jingshu. One is because he didn't like Yun Jingshu very much. Li, the Su family was tolerant if they didn't take her life, and even if they live a life worse than a pig or a dog, that's the retribution she deserves.
Yun Anyao could tell that Yun Chong didn't want to continue talking about Yun Jingshu, "Father, I'll follow you to Northern Xinjiang after the New Year!"
Yun Chong was stunned for a moment, "Didn't it be agreed that we will go again the next year?"
"I'm not young anymore." Yun An Yao said: "It's too shameful to stay in the capital all day doing nothing, so I want to go to practice with my father in advance."
"Yes." Yun Chong said: "But before you leave, you must get married first."
Yun Anyao frowned, "Do you have to get married to go to Northern Xinjiang?"
Yun Chong reminded: "You should know why I can't take you all to Northern Xinjiang."
Yunchong runs across the northern border of the capital city every year, which is actually very tiring. If possible, he also wants to take his family to the northern border, so that he doesn't have to travel all the way back during the holidays.
But the fact is that in order to restrain the generals who hold military power, the emperor stipulated that their relatives must stay in the capital, so Yun Chong was also very helpless.
"Once you seal the young master, you must get married as soon as possible, otherwise you will not be able to go to northern Xinjiang." Yun Chong said: "This is a means of governing the country today, and no one can make an exception, including Su Xiaozi. .”
Yun Anyao was startled, "Father, you mean that the Duke will also go to guard the southern border in the future?"
"En." Yun Chong nodded, "At that time, Wei Yatou will only be able to see Su Xiaozi during the Spring Festival a few days a year."
Yun Anyao put away her astonishment, "Father, if you really have to get married before going, then I..."
"I'll talk to your mother in a while, and I'll find you a nice girl right away, and we'll get married next year."
"Father, I, I don't mean that."
"Then what do you mean?"
"I...I don't want to get married." Yun An Yao muttered, the old wound hadn't healed yet, what kind of mentality should he have to marry a woman he doesn't like?
"Bastard!" Yun Chong was furious, "You think this is a joke? After you become a young master, if you don't choose a girl to marry yourself, the emperor will take the initiative to give you a marriage. He wants to find someone he likes." , I still want the emperor to pick someone you haven't met, and you should think about it yourself."
Yun Anyao was silent.
Comparing the two, he naturally prefers to choose the one he likes.
But he already has his own heart, so in such a short period of time, where can he find someone he wants?
-
Yun Anyao, the eldest son of Dongyang Houfu, is going to discuss marriage.
The news quickly spread.
Huangfu, Zhilanyuan.
Huang Miaoyu bit her lower lip and tried her best to hold back, but she still couldn't help coughing out, each sound was weaker than the sound of scratching her heart.
Cui Fu felt distressed when she heard it, "Girl, I will send you the doctor."
Huang Miaoyu's thin fingers grabbed Cuifu's arm, covered her lips with a handkerchief and asked while panting and coughing: "Master Yun is going to discuss a marriage, cough cough... this news, is this news true?"
After these few days, Cuifu could tell that her daughter was interested in Young Master Yun, but the other party didn't know about it at all.
The girl was not a sentimental master before, but she fell ill after hearing that Mr. Yun wanted to discuss marriage. In those originally clear and bright eyes, there were often tears, and she looked very pitiful.
Cuifu couldn't bear to tell the truth again to stab the girl's heart.
"Cuifu, tell the truth." Huang Miaoyu stared at her with watery eyes.
Cuifu lowered her head, "Yes, Mr. Yun is going to discuss marriage. The maidservant heard that after the new year, she will be made a young master, and the big marriage will follow."
Huang Miaoyu coughed harder, and became more and more weak, "Did you tell me which family the girl is from?"
"This..." Cui Fu shook her head, "I haven't heard of it yet."
"Cuifu, go and invite my mother over here." Huang Miaoyu was panting heavily, and it was difficult for her to speak a complete sentence.
Cuifu quickly went to the main courtyard.
Not long after, Mrs. Huang came.
When I entered the door and saw Huang Miaoyu's appearance, I was shocked, "Miaoyu, my son, what's wrong with you?"
"Mother." Huang Miaoyu tried her best not to let herself cry, "You asked me last time, what kind of husband and son-in-law do you want, and whether mother will satisfy everything my daughter asks for?"
Mrs. Huang was terrified a long time ago, "Shut up, I'll send someone to find a doctor."
"If the mother refuses to agree to the daughter's request, the daughter will not see the doctor."
Mrs. Huang has nothing to do with her, "Say it."
"Daughter heard that Mr. Yun of Dongyang Hou's Mansion is going to discuss marriage."
"You mean, the one you fell in love with?" Mrs. Huang's face became weird, "Miaoyu, you don't go out all day, why did you suddenly mention the eldest son of the Yun family? If I remember correctly, you and him Not familiar with it?"
"My daughter met him at the palace banquet before." Huang Miaoyu didn't dare to say that she had met Yun Anyao several times in private, so she could only lie.
"But..." Mrs. Huang hesitated, "Our family and the Yun family have no intersection other than your aunt's line. I'm worried that your grandfather will disagree."
Huang Miaoyu smiled wryly, "It is said that it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one family. Grandfather is a reasonable person, so he must not be so pedantic."
"No, I have to think about this matter again. At least, I have to invite Mrs. Hou to our house. Otherwise, they have never met you formally, so how could they choose you?"
Huang Miaoyu finally saw a glimmer of hope. As long as this marriage is completed, she will be obedient and get well soon.
-
Taking advantage of her free time, Mrs. Huang handed over a post and invited Fan to her house as a guest.
"Sister, it's my first time here." Fan admired the snow scene in the Huangfu Garden while praising, "The scenery is really nice!"
Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "That's because my sister is usually too busy. I wanted to send you a post many times to invite you to come and play, but I was afraid of disturbing you. No, please come here while I have time before the Chinese New Year. Have a cup of tea."
At this time, Huang Miaoyu, who was wearing a squirrel fur cloak, came in with the help of the maid, and knelt in front of Fan, "I have seen my aunt."
"This is Miao Yu, right?" Fan looked her over carefully, "I heard that the child is in poor health, why didn't he stay indoors in such a cold day?"
Huang Miaoyu said: "The doctor said, often coming out to get some fresh air is helpful for recovery."
Fan understood, "Then you can't stay outside for too long, and catch a cold carefully."
Huang Miaoyu smiled at Fan Shi, and when she turned her head, she frequently gave Mrs. Huang winks.
Mrs. Huang thought about it secretly, "Well, good sister, I heard that your boy is going to discuss marriage?"
"Yeah!" Speaking of this, Fan became worried, "Isn't this going to invite you to be a young master next year? He's going to northern Xinjiang. His father said that he must get married before he can go."
Mrs. Huang's eyes flickered, "Has it ever been decided?"
"Not yet." Fan's brows and eyes were full of worry, "I found him several well-known families with good character, but he shook his head when he didn't even meet him. I asked him what kind of one he wanted. He didn't say anything."
Dongyanghou's mansion is the home of nobles, and Dongyanghou holds military power in his hands. He is a military general and important minister, and his father-in-law is the chief assistant of the dynasty and leads the cabinet.The family backgrounds of the two families are really well-matched, but it's a pity that Miaoyu's body is...
Mrs. Huang thought about it, and decided to fight for her daughter, "My dear sister, what do you think of our Miaoyu?"
Fan was stunned, even though she knew that Mrs. Huang would not let people send her posts for no reason, she never thought that the Huang family wanted to facilitate the marriage between Huang Miaoyu and brother Yao.
It is said that Huang Miaoyu's appearance and conduct are good, but she was born with a thin and thin body, and had to drink medicine every day, so it seemed that it was difficult to give birth. Consider the next generation.
She doesn't like this daughter-in-law very much.
I thought so in my heart, but didn't show it on my face, "My sister asked me so much that I didn't know how to answer. Miaoyu is a very nice girl, but you also know the temper of our brat, so I agreed alone. It's useless if he doesn't like it. Let's do it, when our sister Wei returns home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, they will all go to the temple fair. If Miaoyu can go out then, I can go with them to have fun. Get along with each other more, as for the result, it depends on your luck."
Not only did it give the Huang family enough face, but it also wouldn't rashly decide Brother Yao's marriage.
This was something that people couldn't refute. Mrs. Huang looked at Huang Miaoyu, "What do you think?"
Huang Miaoyu blushed and nodded, "Okay, I will be there on time on the second day of the new year."
-
Fan Shi had just returned to the Dongyang Marquis Mansion when the eldest maid, Qiu Yu, said, "Ma'am, the old lady is here."
"When did you come?" I had already received a letter saying that the old lady was coming back for the Spring Festival, but I didn't expect to arrive so early.
"I've been here for a while." Qiu Yu asked, "Shall we go there now?"
Fan thought about it, "What will happen after the old lady comes?"
The removal of Yun Jingshu from the clan was the first time she had made a good idea, and the old lady had never given a positive response. Fan felt that she must have held back her anger, and now she still asked the old lady about it. It is up to the situation to decide whether to pass immediately, otherwise it will not be worthwhile to be used as a gas bucket as soon as you enter the door.
"I'm talking to my aunt right now!" Qiu Yu said, "I don't have any special reactions for now."
Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's go over and say hello."
The master and servant came to Qinfang Garden one after the other.
Although the old lady left for a few months, all the layout here is still the same. Fan's people come in to clean up every day, which is not much different from before the old lady left.
"Mother." Turning around the twelve floor-to-ceiling screens, Fan bowed his knees in the hall.
The face of the old lady who was talking to Yun Lian suddenly became tense, she sent away unnecessary idlers, and fixed her cold eyes directly on Fan Shi, "You seem to owe the old man a reasonable explanation for Yun Jingshu's matter." .”
Fan asked, "What kind of explanation does mother want?"
The old lady was furious, "You cut it first and then played it!"
She left an eyeliner in the mansion before, but she was probably found out later, so she was assigned to work in the utility room, and no useful information was sent to her.
The Fan family is so courageous that they dared to arrogate their authority and cut Yun Jingshu's family status before writing a letter and going back to deal with her.
In this matter, the old lady felt that her authority in the family had been greatly challenged.
"The situation forced the daughter-in-law to make this decision." Fan said calmly: "Yun Jingshu killed Su Li, and the Su family came to ask for an explanation. If she is not expelled from the family, she will be implicated." In Dongyang Marquis Mansion, the daughter-in-law also chooses the lesser of two powers."
That being said, the old lady was still dissatisfied with her behavior of chopping first and playing later, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the jade pendant on Yun Jingshu's neck still there?"
Fan thought about it seriously, "The day my daughter-in-law went to Su Mansion to express her condolences, she was still wearing it around her neck. Why, is there something wrong with that jade pendant?"
There was an undercurrent in the old lady's deep old eyes, "I heard that that is the only thing that can prove her identity."
"Identity?" Fan opened her mouth, her face full of surprise, "Isn't Yun Jingshu's identity the farm girl who was swapped with Sister Wei?"
"No."
The old lady said: "Actually, she was not born to that family. As for who handed over this child to that family, I don't know, but one thing is certain, there is an unknown person behind Yun Jingshu. Identity, she can't die, or we'll all get into big trouble."
What the old lady didn't know about this was that after she returned to her ancestral home, the couple who adopted Yun Jingshu came to ask about Yun Jingshu's situation, told the truth, and told the old lady that those who were looking for Yun Jingshu People have already started to act, and I believe they will be able to reach the capital in a short time.
The old lady was also in astonishment for a long time at that time, she never thought that a mistaken transfer would end up offending an unknown big shot.
She asked the couple, since Yun Jingshu's status was so special, why did they dare to change her to the Hou Mansion, and the couple cried and said that it was because of Yun Jingshu's special status that they didn't dare to raise her, This is the only way to agree to exchange her, but I didn't expect that after so many years, another group of people would start looking for Yun Jingshu and the whereabouts of the jade pendant. When the couple received the news, they were terrified and turned pale with fright. Go to the old lady to discuss.
Fan was taken aback, "But she has already left the Yun family tree and entered the Su family, no matter how good we are, we can't control her!"
"If you can't control it, you have to control it!" The old lady said sternly, "If there is any terrible force behind her, and it will be known that Yun Jingshu was planted in our hands, then it will really bring the whole family of Dongyang Houfu to the fore. His life is at stake."
Fan became anxious.
Since Yun Jingshu entered the Su family, no one here has ever visited her, let alone asked how she is doing, and now she suddenly wants to take care of her life, what should I do?Where do you start?
The old lady said: "Since Yun Jingshu is no longer from the Yun family, no matter what reason we use to get close to her, it is inappropriate after all, but there is one person who can legitimately enter the gate of the Su family, and can also legitimately go to see Yun." Jingshu."
Fan suddenly realized, "Mother, Sister Wei is from the other side of Duke Xuan's mansion, she is not close to Su's mansion."
"No matter how close she is, she is also from the Su family." The old lady snorted coldly, "I don't care what method you use, in a word, take good care of Yun Jingshu for me, and she must not make any mistakes, otherwise, if something happens, the people behind her Come here, you and my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have to finish playing!"
Fan Shi bit her lip, but said nothing.
-
The 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
After recuperating for a period of time, Mrs. Su finally improved and was able to walk around on the ground.
Looking at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, the old lady asked, "How is Yun Jingshu?"
Mother Qian said: "Since I came back from the Guanyin Temple last time, I have behaved properly. I haven't seen any movement during this period of time."
"That's good." Mrs. Su picked up the porridge bowl, "Before the baby is born, as long as she is obedient and doesn't mess with her, I won't move her for now."
Mother Qian nodded, "This old servant went to see her just now. She was severely lethargic, and she took a rest after breakfast."
The old lady paused as she drank the porridge, "Where is the Duke's Mansion?"
Mother Qian frowned, "Lu Chuan is determined to confront us. He never obeyed the old lady's orders."
"He and Qu Shi, what progress has been made?"
"This...doesn't seem to be there." Qian's mother replied: "According to the eyeliner, since Lu Chuan entered the mansion, he has only messed with the flowers and plants in the Duke's mansion all day long, and the number of times he talked with Mrs. Jingyao is also very few, but every time What I said was all about flowers and plants, as for private talk, there was not a single word."
"Hmph!" Mrs. Su sneered, "I went to the temple for 20 years for a woman, and now I am returning to the vulgar for her. If there is really nothing, it is impossible. The key is what they want us to see."
"The old lady said that Lu Chuan was just acting?"
"That's all he is capable of." The old lady recalled how she exposed Lu Chuan and Qu's adulterous relationship in front of the old lady, but was reversed and paid for a concubine Feng De and the entire Feng family by an army, secretly swallowed a mouthful of the old lady. Xue, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. You can give orders in a while, and say that the servants, servants and maids on the other side of the Duke's Mansion have worked hard for a year and deserve to be rewarded. We don't care about the rewards at the Duke's Mansion. Let them do it tomorrow night." Come here and collect the reward here again."
On New Year's Eve, the old man will definitely come out to sit in town. When Lu Chuan shows up, the scene will be wonderful.
Mother Qian understood, and immediately sent someone to the Duke's Mansion to notify her.
-
At that time, Yun Chuwei and the little maids were sitting around the small stove talking and laughing, Su Yan went to the yamen to finish the final work of this year and hadn't come back yet.
It's Chinese New Year, and the shop has already given holidays to long-term workers, and also issued year-end bonuses. It's not Yun Chuwei's turn to worry about things like posting New Year pictures, couplets, and window grilles. They are all arranged by Butler Xu.
As for setting the world's table, killing chickens and geese for food on the fifth watch, it was not Yun Chuwei's turn to worry about it, it was all done at the Su's house.
Therefore, she has been particularly free these days.
Small appetizing fish soup is simmering on the stove, and the hot air from the cracks in the lid wafts out the rich smell of fish soup.
Yun Chuwei has not had a good appetite recently, and nothing tastes good to eat. This soup was made by the little girl Baitan herself.
In his own mansion, Yun Chuwei didn't pay much attention to the maids, so he ordered Meizi to bring five sets of bowls and chopsticks, and asked Poria and Licorice to try something new as well.
Bai Tan shared food with everyone, and was about to start eating when the servant from the second door came in, "Ma'am, there are people from the Su residence."
"Please come in." Yun Chuwei sat still.
Tomorrow will be New Year's Eve, so people from the Su residence at this time must have announced that they will go to worship the ancestors early in the morning, so there is nothing strange about it.
It was the old lady's wife from the Rongxi Hall who came, and after saluting Yun Chuwei, she said, "Ma'am, the old lady said that the servants and maids of the Duke's Mansion have worked hard for a year. In the evening, I will all go to the Su Mansion to collect the reward money."
Yun Chu said slightly: "We will distribute the rewards ourselves."
The mother-in-law said: "The old lady also said that the ones issued by the Duke's Mansion belong to the Duke's Mansion, and the ones from the Su Mansion belong to the Su Mansion. .”
Fuling and Licorice looked at each other, full of joy.
To be able to get a reward more than the maids of the Su Mansion, it is very face-saving just to say it.
Yun Chuwei said "Oh" with no emotion on his face, "Then when you go back, thank the old lady for me. Tomorrow night, all the servants of the Duke's Mansion will arrive on time."
After the mother-in-law left, Yun Chuwei continued to drink soup.
Meizi sent away Licorice, Fuling and Baitan, and looked at Yun Chuwei in surprise, "Girl, there is nothing wrong with Su's house, there is obviously a problem, why are you in no hurry?"
anxious?
The old lady made it clear that she wanted Lu Chuan to show his face in front of the old lady and make things worse. What's the use of such a thing?
After drinking the last sip of soup as if nothing had happened, Yun Chu said slightly: "For some things, no matter how much you prepare, it's useless, you can only adapt to the situation."
Meizi was very anxious, "The old lady of the Su family is so old, and she still thinks about it all day long, and she doesn't know how to stop for a while."
Yun Chuwei didn't say a word, remembering that Su Yan told her that Mrs. Su's biggest goal now is to bring down Mrs. Jingyao, so that Su Yan can adopt her under her name to support her in the old age.
Last time, he failed to set up a trap against Lu Chuan, but this time he thought of the simplest method—letting Lu Chuan show his face in front of the old man.
This time and time again, Yun Chuwei had to admire Mrs. Su's energy.
Okay, just show your face. What the old lady will see then depends on what she wants him to see.
(End of this chapter)
Unable to move his body, Xu Han could only blink and blink his eyes hard, and finally confirmed that this was not an illusion.
Then, my brain exploded.
He he he... what did he just say!
"I..." Xu Han's heart beat a little faster.
Having grown up so big, many people came to her door to say kisses, but he was the first one who dared to express his heart to her directly like him.
Don't know how to react at all.
"Second Highness, is there some misunderstanding between us?" Xu Han calmed down slowly, swallowed his saliva, and gasped for breath.They've only met a few times, how could he like her?
"I'm sorry, I was so innocent just now, which frightened the girl." He Lianjin let go of his hand suddenly, the scarlet in his narrow eyes slowly receded, and finally returned to calm.
Xu Han thought this person was very strange, "Then what you just said..."
"I mistook the person." He Lianjin didn't look at her again, turned and walked towards the horse, "Don't you want to go back, this place is far from the city, I'll see you off."
It turned out that she was regarded as another girl!
Xu Han touched his nose, feeling inexplicably bored.
On the way to send Xu Han back, He Lianjin didn't say a word.
Before talking about that, in fact, he really wanted to be completely frank.
But at the last moment, he was still discouraged.
Doing so was too abrupt for her, and even more sudden for He Lianyu and He Lianxun, they would immediately look at Han'er.
She is not the younger sister of Zhuangyuan Lang yet, and she does not have any self-protection ability and strong background, so she must not be pushed to the forefront like this.
When he arrived at the gate of Dongyang Marquis Mansion, Xu Han stepped on the stirrup slowly and thanked He Lianjin.
He Lianjin didn't even look at him, and his voice was cold, "He Lianyu doesn't like you, so stop thinking about it."
Xu Han was a little funny, she didn't have any thoughts about He Lianyu at all, okay?
Since He Lianjin has already misunderstood, let him continue to misunderstand. It seems that there is no need to explain to him at all.
Watching He Lianjin ride away on his horse, Xu Han entered the corner gate.
Xu Mao had been waiting outside her yard, and finally seeing her come back, his eyebrows were almost frosted, "Han'er, where have you been?"
"Brother, what's the matter?"
"Godfather has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Godfather?" Xu Han suddenly realized that godmother said that godfather will come back for the Spring Festival in a few days.
She smiled, "Okay, I see, I'll go to Hefengyuan to meet him now."
After going back to the house and tidying up, Xu Han followed Xu Mao to Hefengyuan.
When Yun Chong left half a year ago, the siblings were just the grandchildren of the old lady's best friend. When he came back half a year later, the two of them became godsons and daughters of their husband and wife, which was really surprising.
Carefully looking at Xu Mao with a straight figure and Xu Han with a delicate face, Yun Chong nodded in satisfaction, "It seems that Xu Xiaozi and girl Han have had a good life in the past six months."
Without the old lady dictating the house, Fan treated the siblings very well.
Fan looked at Yun Chong with a smile, then looked at Xu Han, "Sister Han, quickly serve tea to your godfather."
"Hey." Xu Han stood up, poured a cup of tea in a regular manner, knelt down in front of Yun Chong, and called out crisply, "Godfather."
Yun Chong raised his brows with joy, handed her a few gold leaves, and gave her a Hetian jade pendant.
In northern Xinjiang, things like gold leaves are very popular, and they are rare in the capital. Gold leaves are light and thin, and they are not too expensive in themselves.
As for the Hetian jade pendant, it is really a special product in northern Xinjiang. Although it is not priceless, it is still a rare item.
Xu Han thanked again.
The last time Fan recognized his goddaughter, Xu Mao even recognized his godson, so he also had the godfather's meeting gift.
Xu Mao was a literati, and Yun Chong brought him a set of the Four Treasures of the High-Class Study.
He liked it very much and put it away like a baby.
After seeing the two relatives, the cousin came.
Yun Anjun, Yun Xirong, and Yun Xueyao of the second bedroom.
Yun Qilan and Yun Anyou of the third room.
Plus a niece Qiu Xia.
Yun Chong is a person who cares about his family and relatives. On weekdays, no matter what grievances there are between the three families, every time he comes back from northern Xinjiang, he will definitely prepare a gift for each of the children of the three families.
Some of the juniors who came to pay their respects to Yun Chong would rather respect the surprise he brought.
Because every year the gift is different.
Only now did he enter the hall, and before he started taking turns to greet him, the seven-year-old Yun Anyou hugged Yun Chong's thigh, "Uncle, Uncle, what fun things did you bring to Anyou this year?"
The third wife Ding's complexion changed, and she hurriedly scolded: "An You, don't be rude!"
Yun Chong stroked his beard with a smile, stroked his little head and asked, "What fun does An You want?"
"I want a sword, like Big Brother."
Yun Chong said "Oh", "Why do you like swords?"
"I will kill anyone who bullies me."
After speaking, the whole room roared with laughter.
Ding's embarrassment was extremely embarrassing, Yun Qilan grabbed her several times when she wanted to go out and drag her son back, and whispered, "Mother, haven't you seen that Uncle likes An You? Let him spend more time with Uncle! "
Ding was worried, "This child talks inexplicable things all day long, so how can he annoy your uncle all of a sudden?"
Yun Qilan said: "No, although uncle is strict with us, he has a very good attitude towards children. He won't annoy An You in front of so many people."
Ding thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there was some truth in it, so he didn't make any more moves to pull Yun Anyou.
Seeing that Yun Chong was so interested in the children of the third room, the second wife Huang was displeased, and said in a sharp voice: "You are such an old man, and you can still speak freely. If the old lady is here, designate Arrange a few more nuns to be trained and educated. It is said that they were not taught well when they were young, and no one taught them when they grew up. We are a noble family with a title. The dignified third young master said this in public and spread it. Wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?"
Mrs. Huang has always been unable to hide her words. She said something, not only slapped Sanfang in the face, but also accused Fan's family management methods in a disguised way compared to the old lady.
For a moment, Ding's and Fan's expressions were a little ugly.
But Yun Qilan suddenly laughed.
Huang raised her eyebrows, "What are you laughing at?"
"I laughed at Second Aunt, who is so old, and said wrong things in public." Yun Qilan said unhurriedly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Huang was furious.
This Yun Qilan, ever since she went to Yingmei Nunnery and came back, she has been completely reborn, her former timidity and cowardice are all gone, she has learned to be sharp and sharp, and she can compete with Yun Xirong's little hoof.
Yun Qilan looked at Huang with a smile, "The second aunt said just now that we are a noble family with a title, isn't that wrong? The one with a title is the eldest uncle, so what does it matter to our family? Even if we can Living in this big mansion is all due to the honor of the long house, and now the second aunt should take all the credit for herself, if it gets out, others will laugh at you for being so old. Don't know the facts."
The face was slapped and slapped.
Huang grinned in anger.
Seeing that she was going to have a seizure, Fan immediately yelled, "Okay!"
Huang secretly clenched his fists and stopped temporarily.
"Since they are all here to greet Lord Hou, why are you arguing? If you go out of this door, if you want to quarrel, go back to your own yard and quarrel. I won't stop you, but Hefengyuan is my territory. If you yell, don't blame me for being rude." Fan became angry, and his momentum should not be underestimated.
Yun Qilan had nothing to say, of course Huang was not convinced, but right now is not the place to get angry, no matter how dissatisfied she has to bear it.
After they made such a fuss, Yun Chong lost interest, so he asked his mother to take Yun Anyou away, distributed the presents to his nephews and nieces, and went to the study in the outer courtyard.
Yun An Yao didn't come to the inner courtyard, and had been waiting for Yun Chong there.
"Father." Seeing Yun Chong, Yun An Yao went up to meet him.
"Brother Yao, have you practiced martial arts seriously in the past six months?"
Yun An Yao was most afraid of his father, so he naturally didn't dare to show his temper in front of Yun Chong, "Father, the boy is serious about studying, if you don't believe me, how about trying some tricks with the boy?"
"Let the horse come here." Yun Chong stood on the spot with his hands behind his back, his appearance as stable as Mount Tai made Yun Anyao secretly admire him.
After warming up, the father and son began to fight.
When Yun Chong comes back every year, he will use this to check whether Yun An Yao has been lazy in the past year.
Except for not being able to handle the relationship with Yun Chuwei, his own sister, Yun Anyao was very concerned about martial arts, and after a few rounds with Yun Chong, he didn't fall behind at all.
Broken leaves flew around, and snow splashed mud.
After an hour of incense sticks, he finally withdrew his hand.
Although Yun An Yao was defeated, he improved much more than half a year ago, but Yun Chong was still not too satisfied, "If you have time, go to Su Xiaozi to discuss and learn from each other. He can give you a lot of experience in this regard."
When Yun Anyao thought that his relationship with Yun Chuwei was still the same, he couldn't help but faint.
Yun Chong asked: "Why, the conflict with Wei girl has not been resolved yet?"
Yun An Yao muffled, "Father, it's not that I don't want to work hard, it's that sister Wei is too cold-tempered, no matter what I do or do, I can't catch her eyes."
Yun Chong snorted coldly, "That's because you didn't find the right one, so it's no wonder she doesn't like it."
Yun An Yao's eyes moved, "Since father knows her so well, why don't you teach the child, how can we make sister Wei willing to recognize me as a brother?"
"I won't teach you." Yun Chong flatly refused, "If you need someone to teach you about this kind of thing, it means that you don't have the consciousness to please them at all, and it's useless to go. A person as transparent as a little girl can't see through it. Are you that careful?"
Yun An Yao pursed her lips.
Yun Chong went to the side and sat down. The maids came to serve tea. He took a sip of the hot tea and asked Yun An Yao, "How is Yun Jingshu?"
Mentioning that person, Yun An Yao's heart twitched, "Ever since she went to Su's house, mother won't let me go and see her. I don't know how she is doing. I only know that she is pregnant. At least in a short time, the Su family's It won't be too difficult for her."
Yun Chong just asked a symbolic question. In fact, he didn't have any feelings about Yun Jingshu. One is because he didn't like Yun Jingshu very much. Li, the Su family was tolerant if they didn't take her life, and even if they live a life worse than a pig or a dog, that's the retribution she deserves.
Yun Anyao could tell that Yun Chong didn't want to continue talking about Yun Jingshu, "Father, I'll follow you to Northern Xinjiang after the New Year!"
Yun Chong was stunned for a moment, "Didn't it be agreed that we will go again the next year?"
"I'm not young anymore." Yun An Yao said: "It's too shameful to stay in the capital all day doing nothing, so I want to go to practice with my father in advance."
"Yes." Yun Chong said: "But before you leave, you must get married first."
Yun Anyao frowned, "Do you have to get married to go to Northern Xinjiang?"
Yun Chong reminded: "You should know why I can't take you all to Northern Xinjiang."
Yunchong runs across the northern border of the capital city every year, which is actually very tiring. If possible, he also wants to take his family to the northern border, so that he doesn't have to travel all the way back during the holidays.
But the fact is that in order to restrain the generals who hold military power, the emperor stipulated that their relatives must stay in the capital, so Yun Chong was also very helpless.
"Once you seal the young master, you must get married as soon as possible, otherwise you will not be able to go to northern Xinjiang." Yun Chong said: "This is a means of governing the country today, and no one can make an exception, including Su Xiaozi. .”
Yun Anyao was startled, "Father, you mean that the Duke will also go to guard the southern border in the future?"
"En." Yun Chong nodded, "At that time, Wei Yatou will only be able to see Su Xiaozi during the Spring Festival a few days a year."
Yun Anyao put away her astonishment, "Father, if you really have to get married before going, then I..."
"I'll talk to your mother in a while, and I'll find you a nice girl right away, and we'll get married next year."
"Father, I, I don't mean that."
"Then what do you mean?"
"I...I don't want to get married." Yun An Yao muttered, the old wound hadn't healed yet, what kind of mentality should he have to marry a woman he doesn't like?
"Bastard!" Yun Chong was furious, "You think this is a joke? After you become a young master, if you don't choose a girl to marry yourself, the emperor will take the initiative to give you a marriage. He wants to find someone he likes." , I still want the emperor to pick someone you haven't met, and you should think about it yourself."
Yun Anyao was silent.
Comparing the two, he naturally prefers to choose the one he likes.
But he already has his own heart, so in such a short period of time, where can he find someone he wants?
-
Yun Anyao, the eldest son of Dongyang Houfu, is going to discuss marriage.
The news quickly spread.
Huangfu, Zhilanyuan.
Huang Miaoyu bit her lower lip and tried her best to hold back, but she still couldn't help coughing out, each sound was weaker than the sound of scratching her heart.
Cui Fu felt distressed when she heard it, "Girl, I will send you the doctor."
Huang Miaoyu's thin fingers grabbed Cuifu's arm, covered her lips with a handkerchief and asked while panting and coughing: "Master Yun is going to discuss a marriage, cough cough... this news, is this news true?"
After these few days, Cuifu could tell that her daughter was interested in Young Master Yun, but the other party didn't know about it at all.
The girl was not a sentimental master before, but she fell ill after hearing that Mr. Yun wanted to discuss marriage. In those originally clear and bright eyes, there were often tears, and she looked very pitiful.
Cuifu couldn't bear to tell the truth again to stab the girl's heart.
"Cuifu, tell the truth." Huang Miaoyu stared at her with watery eyes.
Cuifu lowered her head, "Yes, Mr. Yun is going to discuss marriage. The maidservant heard that after the new year, she will be made a young master, and the big marriage will follow."
Huang Miaoyu coughed harder, and became more and more weak, "Did you tell me which family the girl is from?"
"This..." Cui Fu shook her head, "I haven't heard of it yet."
"Cuifu, go and invite my mother over here." Huang Miaoyu was panting heavily, and it was difficult for her to speak a complete sentence.
Cuifu quickly went to the main courtyard.
Not long after, Mrs. Huang came.
When I entered the door and saw Huang Miaoyu's appearance, I was shocked, "Miaoyu, my son, what's wrong with you?"
"Mother." Huang Miaoyu tried her best not to let herself cry, "You asked me last time, what kind of husband and son-in-law do you want, and whether mother will satisfy everything my daughter asks for?"
Mrs. Huang was terrified a long time ago, "Shut up, I'll send someone to find a doctor."
"If the mother refuses to agree to the daughter's request, the daughter will not see the doctor."
Mrs. Huang has nothing to do with her, "Say it."
"Daughter heard that Mr. Yun of Dongyang Hou's Mansion is going to discuss marriage."
"You mean, the one you fell in love with?" Mrs. Huang's face became weird, "Miaoyu, you don't go out all day, why did you suddenly mention the eldest son of the Yun family? If I remember correctly, you and him Not familiar with it?"
"My daughter met him at the palace banquet before." Huang Miaoyu didn't dare to say that she had met Yun Anyao several times in private, so she could only lie.
"But..." Mrs. Huang hesitated, "Our family and the Yun family have no intersection other than your aunt's line. I'm worried that your grandfather will disagree."
Huang Miaoyu smiled wryly, "It is said that it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one family. Grandfather is a reasonable person, so he must not be so pedantic."
"No, I have to think about this matter again. At least, I have to invite Mrs. Hou to our house. Otherwise, they have never met you formally, so how could they choose you?"
Huang Miaoyu finally saw a glimmer of hope. As long as this marriage is completed, she will be obedient and get well soon.
-
Taking advantage of her free time, Mrs. Huang handed over a post and invited Fan to her house as a guest.
"Sister, it's my first time here." Fan admired the snow scene in the Huangfu Garden while praising, "The scenery is really nice!"
Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "That's because my sister is usually too busy. I wanted to send you a post many times to invite you to come and play, but I was afraid of disturbing you. No, please come here while I have time before the Chinese New Year. Have a cup of tea."
At this time, Huang Miaoyu, who was wearing a squirrel fur cloak, came in with the help of the maid, and knelt in front of Fan, "I have seen my aunt."
"This is Miao Yu, right?" Fan looked her over carefully, "I heard that the child is in poor health, why didn't he stay indoors in such a cold day?"
Huang Miaoyu said: "The doctor said, often coming out to get some fresh air is helpful for recovery."
Fan understood, "Then you can't stay outside for too long, and catch a cold carefully."
Huang Miaoyu smiled at Fan Shi, and when she turned her head, she frequently gave Mrs. Huang winks.
Mrs. Huang thought about it secretly, "Well, good sister, I heard that your boy is going to discuss marriage?"
"Yeah!" Speaking of this, Fan became worried, "Isn't this going to invite you to be a young master next year? He's going to northern Xinjiang. His father said that he must get married before he can go."
Mrs. Huang's eyes flickered, "Has it ever been decided?"
"Not yet." Fan's brows and eyes were full of worry, "I found him several well-known families with good character, but he shook his head when he didn't even meet him. I asked him what kind of one he wanted. He didn't say anything."
Dongyanghou's mansion is the home of nobles, and Dongyanghou holds military power in his hands. He is a military general and important minister, and his father-in-law is the chief assistant of the dynasty and leads the cabinet.The family backgrounds of the two families are really well-matched, but it's a pity that Miaoyu's body is...
Mrs. Huang thought about it, and decided to fight for her daughter, "My dear sister, what do you think of our Miaoyu?"
Fan was stunned, even though she knew that Mrs. Huang would not let people send her posts for no reason, she never thought that the Huang family wanted to facilitate the marriage between Huang Miaoyu and brother Yao.
It is said that Huang Miaoyu's appearance and conduct are good, but she was born with a thin and thin body, and had to drink medicine every day, so it seemed that it was difficult to give birth. Consider the next generation.
She doesn't like this daughter-in-law very much.
I thought so in my heart, but didn't show it on my face, "My sister asked me so much that I didn't know how to answer. Miaoyu is a very nice girl, but you also know the temper of our brat, so I agreed alone. It's useless if he doesn't like it. Let's do it, when our sister Wei returns home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, they will all go to the temple fair. If Miaoyu can go out then, I can go with them to have fun. Get along with each other more, as for the result, it depends on your luck."
Not only did it give the Huang family enough face, but it also wouldn't rashly decide Brother Yao's marriage.
This was something that people couldn't refute. Mrs. Huang looked at Huang Miaoyu, "What do you think?"
Huang Miaoyu blushed and nodded, "Okay, I will be there on time on the second day of the new year."
-
Fan Shi had just returned to the Dongyang Marquis Mansion when the eldest maid, Qiu Yu, said, "Ma'am, the old lady is here."
"When did you come?" I had already received a letter saying that the old lady was coming back for the Spring Festival, but I didn't expect to arrive so early.
"I've been here for a while." Qiu Yu asked, "Shall we go there now?"
Fan thought about it, "What will happen after the old lady comes?"
The removal of Yun Jingshu from the clan was the first time she had made a good idea, and the old lady had never given a positive response. Fan felt that she must have held back her anger, and now she still asked the old lady about it. It is up to the situation to decide whether to pass immediately, otherwise it will not be worthwhile to be used as a gas bucket as soon as you enter the door.
"I'm talking to my aunt right now!" Qiu Yu said, "I don't have any special reactions for now."
Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's go over and say hello."
The master and servant came to Qinfang Garden one after the other.
Although the old lady left for a few months, all the layout here is still the same. Fan's people come in to clean up every day, which is not much different from before the old lady left.
"Mother." Turning around the twelve floor-to-ceiling screens, Fan bowed his knees in the hall.
The face of the old lady who was talking to Yun Lian suddenly became tense, she sent away unnecessary idlers, and fixed her cold eyes directly on Fan Shi, "You seem to owe the old man a reasonable explanation for Yun Jingshu's matter." .”
Fan asked, "What kind of explanation does mother want?"
The old lady was furious, "You cut it first and then played it!"
She left an eyeliner in the mansion before, but she was probably found out later, so she was assigned to work in the utility room, and no useful information was sent to her.
The Fan family is so courageous that they dared to arrogate their authority and cut Yun Jingshu's family status before writing a letter and going back to deal with her.
In this matter, the old lady felt that her authority in the family had been greatly challenged.
"The situation forced the daughter-in-law to make this decision." Fan said calmly: "Yun Jingshu killed Su Li, and the Su family came to ask for an explanation. If she is not expelled from the family, she will be implicated." In Dongyang Marquis Mansion, the daughter-in-law also chooses the lesser of two powers."
That being said, the old lady was still dissatisfied with her behavior of chopping first and playing later, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the jade pendant on Yun Jingshu's neck still there?"
Fan thought about it seriously, "The day my daughter-in-law went to Su Mansion to express her condolences, she was still wearing it around her neck. Why, is there something wrong with that jade pendant?"
There was an undercurrent in the old lady's deep old eyes, "I heard that that is the only thing that can prove her identity."
"Identity?" Fan opened her mouth, her face full of surprise, "Isn't Yun Jingshu's identity the farm girl who was swapped with Sister Wei?"
"No."
The old lady said: "Actually, she was not born to that family. As for who handed over this child to that family, I don't know, but one thing is certain, there is an unknown person behind Yun Jingshu. Identity, she can't die, or we'll all get into big trouble."
What the old lady didn't know about this was that after she returned to her ancestral home, the couple who adopted Yun Jingshu came to ask about Yun Jingshu's situation, told the truth, and told the old lady that those who were looking for Yun Jingshu People have already started to act, and I believe they will be able to reach the capital in a short time.
The old lady was also in astonishment for a long time at that time, she never thought that a mistaken transfer would end up offending an unknown big shot.
She asked the couple, since Yun Jingshu's status was so special, why did they dare to change her to the Hou Mansion, and the couple cried and said that it was because of Yun Jingshu's special status that they didn't dare to raise her, This is the only way to agree to exchange her, but I didn't expect that after so many years, another group of people would start looking for Yun Jingshu and the whereabouts of the jade pendant. When the couple received the news, they were terrified and turned pale with fright. Go to the old lady to discuss.
Fan was taken aback, "But she has already left the Yun family tree and entered the Su family, no matter how good we are, we can't control her!"
"If you can't control it, you have to control it!" The old lady said sternly, "If there is any terrible force behind her, and it will be known that Yun Jingshu was planted in our hands, then it will really bring the whole family of Dongyang Houfu to the fore. His life is at stake."
Fan became anxious.
Since Yun Jingshu entered the Su family, no one here has ever visited her, let alone asked how she is doing, and now she suddenly wants to take care of her life, what should I do?Where do you start?
The old lady said: "Since Yun Jingshu is no longer from the Yun family, no matter what reason we use to get close to her, it is inappropriate after all, but there is one person who can legitimately enter the gate of the Su family, and can also legitimately go to see Yun." Jingshu."
Fan suddenly realized, "Mother, Sister Wei is from the other side of Duke Xuan's mansion, she is not close to Su's mansion."
"No matter how close she is, she is also from the Su family." The old lady snorted coldly, "I don't care what method you use, in a word, take good care of Yun Jingshu for me, and she must not make any mistakes, otherwise, if something happens, the people behind her Come here, you and my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have to finish playing!"
Fan Shi bit her lip, but said nothing.
-
The 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
After recuperating for a period of time, Mrs. Su finally improved and was able to walk around on the ground.
Looking at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, the old lady asked, "How is Yun Jingshu?"
Mother Qian said: "Since I came back from the Guanyin Temple last time, I have behaved properly. I haven't seen any movement during this period of time."
"That's good." Mrs. Su picked up the porridge bowl, "Before the baby is born, as long as she is obedient and doesn't mess with her, I won't move her for now."
Mother Qian nodded, "This old servant went to see her just now. She was severely lethargic, and she took a rest after breakfast."
The old lady paused as she drank the porridge, "Where is the Duke's Mansion?"
Mother Qian frowned, "Lu Chuan is determined to confront us. He never obeyed the old lady's orders."
"He and Qu Shi, what progress has been made?"
"This...doesn't seem to be there." Qian's mother replied: "According to the eyeliner, since Lu Chuan entered the mansion, he has only messed with the flowers and plants in the Duke's mansion all day long, and the number of times he talked with Mrs. Jingyao is also very few, but every time What I said was all about flowers and plants, as for private talk, there was not a single word."
"Hmph!" Mrs. Su sneered, "I went to the temple for 20 years for a woman, and now I am returning to the vulgar for her. If there is really nothing, it is impossible. The key is what they want us to see."
"The old lady said that Lu Chuan was just acting?"
"That's all he is capable of." The old lady recalled how she exposed Lu Chuan and Qu's adulterous relationship in front of the old lady, but was reversed and paid for a concubine Feng De and the entire Feng family by an army, secretly swallowed a mouthful of the old lady. Xue, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. You can give orders in a while, and say that the servants, servants and maids on the other side of the Duke's Mansion have worked hard for a year and deserve to be rewarded. We don't care about the rewards at the Duke's Mansion. Let them do it tomorrow night." Come here and collect the reward here again."
On New Year's Eve, the old man will definitely come out to sit in town. When Lu Chuan shows up, the scene will be wonderful.
Mother Qian understood, and immediately sent someone to the Duke's Mansion to notify her.
-
At that time, Yun Chuwei and the little maids were sitting around the small stove talking and laughing, Su Yan went to the yamen to finish the final work of this year and hadn't come back yet.
It's Chinese New Year, and the shop has already given holidays to long-term workers, and also issued year-end bonuses. It's not Yun Chuwei's turn to worry about things like posting New Year pictures, couplets, and window grilles. They are all arranged by Butler Xu.
As for setting the world's table, killing chickens and geese for food on the fifth watch, it was not Yun Chuwei's turn to worry about it, it was all done at the Su's house.
Therefore, she has been particularly free these days.
Small appetizing fish soup is simmering on the stove, and the hot air from the cracks in the lid wafts out the rich smell of fish soup.
Yun Chuwei has not had a good appetite recently, and nothing tastes good to eat. This soup was made by the little girl Baitan herself.
In his own mansion, Yun Chuwei didn't pay much attention to the maids, so he ordered Meizi to bring five sets of bowls and chopsticks, and asked Poria and Licorice to try something new as well.
Bai Tan shared food with everyone, and was about to start eating when the servant from the second door came in, "Ma'am, there are people from the Su residence."
"Please come in." Yun Chuwei sat still.
Tomorrow will be New Year's Eve, so people from the Su residence at this time must have announced that they will go to worship the ancestors early in the morning, so there is nothing strange about it.
It was the old lady's wife from the Rongxi Hall who came, and after saluting Yun Chuwei, she said, "Ma'am, the old lady said that the servants and maids of the Duke's Mansion have worked hard for a year. In the evening, I will all go to the Su Mansion to collect the reward money."
Yun Chu said slightly: "We will distribute the rewards ourselves."
The mother-in-law said: "The old lady also said that the ones issued by the Duke's Mansion belong to the Duke's Mansion, and the ones from the Su Mansion belong to the Su Mansion. .”
Fuling and Licorice looked at each other, full of joy.
To be able to get a reward more than the maids of the Su Mansion, it is very face-saving just to say it.
Yun Chuwei said "Oh" with no emotion on his face, "Then when you go back, thank the old lady for me. Tomorrow night, all the servants of the Duke's Mansion will arrive on time."
After the mother-in-law left, Yun Chuwei continued to drink soup.
Meizi sent away Licorice, Fuling and Baitan, and looked at Yun Chuwei in surprise, "Girl, there is nothing wrong with Su's house, there is obviously a problem, why are you in no hurry?"
anxious?
The old lady made it clear that she wanted Lu Chuan to show his face in front of the old lady and make things worse. What's the use of such a thing?
After drinking the last sip of soup as if nothing had happened, Yun Chu said slightly: "For some things, no matter how much you prepare, it's useless, you can only adapt to the situation."
Meizi was very anxious, "The old lady of the Su family is so old, and she still thinks about it all day long, and she doesn't know how to stop for a while."
Yun Chuwei didn't say a word, remembering that Su Yan told her that Mrs. Su's biggest goal now is to bring down Mrs. Jingyao, so that Su Yan can adopt her under her name to support her in the old age.
Last time, he failed to set up a trap against Lu Chuan, but this time he thought of the simplest method—letting Lu Chuan show his face in front of the old man.
This time and time again, Yun Chuwei had to admire Mrs. Su's energy.
Okay, just show your face. What the old lady will see then depends on what she wants him to see.
