Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife
Chapter 182 Kebab
Chapter 182 Kebab
"Girl, did Princess Yongping tell you something?" Cui Fu looked at Huang Miaoyu's face and suddenly felt flustered.
When he went back to the Fan Mansion to let the court envoy Fan Qi look at it, he told her that his girl's sanity was already unstable, so it was best not to be stimulated, otherwise she would easily deteriorate in the direction of insanity.
When Princess Yongping called the girl aside alone, Cuifu didn't hear what the two said, but just by looking at the girl's face, she guessed that she must be irritated.
"Girl..." Seeing that Huang Miaoyu didn't speak, Cuifu lowered her voice again. She has been serving the girl since she was a child. Although she is a master and servant in name, she has long been regarded as a relative in her heart, so she is really worried about her.
"I'm fine, I'm calm." Huang Miaoyu said suddenly.
This sudden calm made Cui Fu feel more like the short peace before the storm.
"Girl, before Princess Yongping got married, she was at odds with Princess Yongchun. Princess Yongping must be jealous of the two of you, so she tried to sow discord. No matter what she said, you must not believe it. !"
She has been with Huang Miaoyu for so long, and in those years she often accompanied Huang Miaoyu into the palace to find He Lian Shuang, so Cuifu still knows a little about the estrangement between the two princesses.
Princess Yongping and her own girl have never met before, even if they met by chance, her girl would just salute her according to her status and never had a close relationship, but Princess Yongping chose to find her on such a special day today , there is something strange at first glance.
Huang Miaoyu didn't speak, and the words of He Lianzhu came to her mind: "It's ironic enough, you regard her as a close friend in your boudoir for many years, but she secretly has an affair with your husband, what do you think He Lianzhu is doing?" She is going to Phoenix Mountain while she is pregnant, and it is not because she wants to take the opportunity to privately meet someone who came back early, this palace even doubts who the child in her belly is."
Could it be...Could it be that Yun An Yao didn't write her a letter in the past two months because he came back a long time ago, but he didn't go back to his house, but lived in a place that was so hidden that she couldn't find it. Are you meeting Helian Shuang?
Is there any personal relationship between them?
Why did she suddenly feel like everyone around her was hiding something from her?
In the dark car with the curtains closed, no one could see. Huang Miaoyu's grim expression seemed to be on the verge of collapse. That face full of hatred was distorted to the point of ferocity, and the last bit of beauty was wiped away. Exhausted.
When they arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Cui Fu carefully helped her get out of the car and enter the mansion.
Yun Chuwei and He Lianshuang were discussing what they should pay attention to when they were pregnant, but when they saw Huang Miaoyu approaching, the two of them stopped talking at the same time.
Huang Miaoyu's body was extremely difficult to give birth to. He Lianshuang and Yun Chuwei understood it very well, so they tacitly did not want to mention the issue of children in front of her, so as not to arouse her unhappiness.
But for Huang Miaoyu, who was psychologically twisted to the limit, the reason why they stopped suddenly was because they had something to hide from her.
"What are you talking about, why did I stop as soon as I came?" She couldn't see it, but she could hear it.
Yun Chu took a slight look at Cuifu, seeing the helplessness on this little girl's face, and felt a little speechless, stood up and personally helped her to sit down, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go to Phoenix Mountain with us?"
Huang Miaoyu retorted directly, "Why, could it be that I can't go?" She was sure of Yun Chuwei in her bones before she spoke privately with He Lian Shuang.
What made Yun Chuwei not even say anything to his sister-in-law, but to confide in an outsider instead?
Yun Chuwei originally wanted to say that you would not be able to go if you were like this, and it would be a hindrance to others, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words back and said politely: "Of course we can go, but our carriage can only go to At the foot of Phoenix Mountain, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself, I'm worried that you won't be able to bear it, sister-in-law."
After hearing this, Huang Miaoyu smiled coolly, "Anyone with a pregnant body can climb up. It doesn't make sense for me to be a burden all alone. Princess Yongchun, do you think I'm right?"
He Lian Shuang glanced at Huang Miaoyu worriedly. The person in front of her now was no longer the Miao Yu she knew before. She had so many things hidden in her heart that she became gloomy, especially with the When speaking in this tone, it was indescribably weird, which made people feel creepy.
"Miaoyu, Weiwei is also worried about you, that's why I asked you to think twice. The road to Phoenix Mountain is not easy to walk. If you feel tired, don't go. It's best to stay in the mansion and rest." After all, she was still worried, or I can't let it go, I still want to see her back to normal.
"Princess Yongchun thinks I'm blind and can't see?" Huang Miaoyu's voice became colder, and her face completely sank.
"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that." Helian Shuang's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly explained, "Miaoyu, you misunderstood me, we are all for your own good."
Huang Miaoyu snorted softly, "Grandfather said, I can't stay in the house all day, I have to go out for a walk, it's rare to have this opportunity right now, but Princess Yongchun keeps blocking it, don't tell me you have something in Phoenix Mountain that you can't see Or are you afraid that I will see you?"
This kind of words are really heartbreaking, but He Lian Shuang will not care about these things with her, and said softly: "If you just want to go out for a walk, then I don't have to go to Phoenix Mountain, I will stay with you, we can go out to go shopping , to play on the boat in Yuye Lake, oh yes, your favorite calendula is blooming, let's go see it together!"
"Don't!" Huang Miaoyu interrupted her, "Phoenix Mountain is so beautiful, and it's rare for Weiwei to gather everyone together. If they all go, and you and I stay, wouldn't it be a shame for Weiwei?"
He Lian Shuang was choked speechless by her, it seemed that no matter what she said, Huang Miaoyu would have dozens of words waiting for her.
Since speaking is wrong, then simply do not say.
Yun Chuwei and Xu Han on the side looked at each other and chose to remain silent.
Yun Chuwei finally knew why Mrs. Fan ran to the Duke's mansion when she was fine on the day Mrs. Su died. Huang Miaoyu was not crazy, she was a completely different person. The former Huang Miaoyu was dead, and now she is on guard With a strong heart and a sensitive mind, she can automatically understand any disturbance as something related to her.Especially for He Lianshuang, no matter what she said or what she did, in her opinion, it was because the other party had done something wrong to her, and when she felt guilty, she wanted to come back to please her and make up for her. He would think that even if He Lian Shuang knelt down and served her as her slave, it was justified.
The atmosphere became so stiff and awkward, Helian Shuang sat very uncomfortable, she stood up helplessly, and said to Yun Chuwei: "You guys talk first, I'll go out and see if my outfit is packed."
Yun Chuwei didn't stop her, but just instructed in a warm voice, "Be careful when you walk, pay attention to your feet, and be careful when you fall."
"Well, I see." Helian Shuang escaped from Yun Chuwei's room as if fleeing.
Only Xu Han, Huang Miaoyu and Yun Chuwei were left in the room.
Both Xu Han and Yun Chuwei were quite generous. Although they were left speechless by Huang Miaoyu's actions, they still managed to hold on.
Sitting down again, Yun Chuwei personally poured tea for Huang Miaoyu and handed it to her, "I heard that my brother will be back in the middle of next month. Sister-in-law has been looking forward to it for so long, and it is considered that my wish will be fulfilled."
Huang Miaoyu didn't show much surprise on her face, she just asked softly, "Really?"
"My mother told me about this. She said that my brother sent a letter. The letter said that he would be back in the middle of next month. Why, doesn't sister-in-law know about this letter?"
Huang Miaoyu smiled slightly, "I know." She just found out today that letters can be lied to. As for whether the other person has returned to Beijing long ago or really will return next month, only he himself knows.
Seeing this expression, Yun Chuwei knew that it was a waste of time to ask. It's better not to ask. There is something wrong with this person today. When he arrives at Phoenix Mountain in a while, it's best not to cause trouble for her, otherwise she won't guarantee whether she will meet with her in public. She turned her face.
Huang Miaoyu was not the only one who went to Dongyang Houfu, Yun Xirong and Yun Qilan were also there.
The cold atmosphere in Yun Chuwei's room was broken by those two people.
"Sister Wei, what are you all doing blankly?"
Yun Qilan had just arrived, and she was a little curious when she saw that everyone was silent.
Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's nothing, just now we were talking about going to Phoenix Mountain to watch the sunrise, since you two have gone, you have to follow my arrangement, we are going to stay at Phoenix Mountain at night, tents and other supplies They are all ready for you. Later, I will send someone to Dongyang Hou Mansion to inform you. I will greet you in advance. At night, no one is allowed to go home. Phoenix Mountain is far away from the city, and no one will escort you back. of."
Although both of them were shocked when Yun Chuwei said that she would not return overnight, but fortunately she said that she would let someone go to Dongyang Houfu to inform her, so as not to leave a bad impression on the elders. Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Xirong nodded, "I have only seen the sunrise in the nunnery. I heard people say that the sunrise is more beautiful from the top of the mountain. Now I have the opportunity."
"Yes, yes!" Yun Qilan's eyes were shining, full of longing, "I've heard people say that standing on the top of Phoenix Mountain, you can not only see the sunrise, but also the sea of clouds, Sister Wei, it's like this Bar?"
Seeing Yun Chu nodded slightly, she quickly said, "Then why don't we prepare our brushes and draw this rare landscape when the time comes?"
"Yes, yes." Yun Xirong hesitated, "But after all, we have to go a long way, and with so many things, will it be too troublesome?"
"It's just some paper, paint and brushes. If you are interested, I'll get someone to prepare it right away." Yun Chu smiled gently and said, "There is a Double Ninth Festival every year, but not every year we can have it." Gathering together with such an opportunity, maybe things will be different in the coming year, so I have to take advantage of this year to record the most beautiful things. In the future, no matter whether it is gathering together or being apart from each other, looking back on today, I hope everyone can have The feeling of nostalgia."
"Sister Wei is very right." Xu Han agreed with her words, "It is possible to have scenery every year, even decades, but people are changing every day. Today next year, who said It depends on what each of us is doing, and whether there is a chance to gather together like today, so, take advantage of the opportunity now, and enjoy yourself to live up to this great time."
Looking at the faces looking forward to going to Phoenix Mountain, Yun Chu smiled sincerely.
Even Huang Miaoyu, who had a gloomy complexion, felt a lot of emotion.
What will she be doing next year today?Do you continue to wait for that person in the empty room, or can't you hold back a quarrel?
When the outer courtyard was ready, Helian Shuang personally came in to inform.
Yun Chu hurriedly beckoned everyone to go out.
Huang Miaoyu walked in front with the help of her maid Cuifu, Xu Han and the others followed closely behind, Yun Chuwei and He Lianshuang led their maidservants to the rear.
"Princess, don't worry about what happened before. My sister-in-law may have said such unrestrained words because she was overly stimulated. In fact, she may not mean to hurt you."
He Lian shook his head hurriedly, "You don't need to explain, I understand, I can understand the pain of losing her eyes, so after hearing those words, it was only a moment of discomfort at the time, and it will be fine afterwards, I don't hold grudges. "
Not holding grudges doesn't mean you don't care, right?
Yun Chuwei caught the faint trace of loneliness in Helian's eyes.
Friends who talked about everything in the past have developed into such an incompatible situation because of a lot of suspicion in the past. Anyone who changes them will find it difficult to accept.
After leaving the gate, Su Yan, Wu Yong, and Xu Mao were already waiting outside. There were three horses standing beside them. It was obvious that these three wanted to go on horseback.
Yun Chuwei, He Lianshuang, and Xu Han had a carriage, and Yun Xirong and Yun Qilan had a carriage. The maidservants of the masters in these two carriages followed on foot. Huang Miaoyu wanted someone to take care of her, so she rode with Cuifu.
Yun Chuwei counted the number of people, and after confirming, he told Su Yan to set off.
She knew that He Lianjin would definitely come, but it was impossible for that person to go with them. He had to go first, or take his time later. Anyway, his focus would not be on skewers, chrysanthemum wine, or even watching the sunrise , she didn't bother to take care of him.
"Sister Han, last time your old lady asked Brother Xu to discuss marriage, is this done?" After the motorcade set off, Yun Chu asked slightly.
"Yeah." Xu Han nodded, "It's the right minister's daughter."
"The right minister's daughter?" Yun Chuwei and He Lian Shuang exclaimed at the same time.
"What's the matter?" Xu Han said: "I haven't seen this girl, neither has my brother, but I heard from my grandmother that it was the daughter from the Right Prime Minister's family who first took a fancy to my brother. As for the time? It was probably early when my brother was the number one scholar in high school, so the prime minister should have observed my brother for more than half a year, and only when he felt satisfied would he agree with his daughter's vision."
Yun Chuwei understands, Prime Minister Right is also imitating Feng Zuoxiang back then and wants to come to the list to catch his son-in-law?Coincidentally, the right minister's prostitute is Su Yirou's biological daughter, the granddaughter of the late Mrs. Su, Yun Chuwei has never had contact with this person, so she doesn't know her nature, and only hopes that She is a dignified and virtuous person like Brother Xu, so he shouldn't go to the mansion to recruit concubines every now and then, so he won't treat her badly.
Xu Han blushed a little, "If it was in Yangzhou, at my brother's age, he would have had sons and daughters long ago. It's just that he has been busy with the scientific research before and didn't care about it, so it was delayed. My brother hasn't married yet. I'll do it this way." It is even more unreasonable for my younger sister to get married first, so it has been delayed until now. Two days ago, my grandmother called him over to talk alone, and he suddenly realized that he has delayed me by not getting married, so he came from the Right Prime Minister's mansion. He agreed without even thinking about it. In fact, it doesn’t matter if I marry later. I am not afraid of other people’s eyes and gossip, mainly because of my brother. I am worried that he will lose his life because of this. I've never seen her before, and if you discuss marriage in such a hurry, if you find out that the other party is not good, wouldn't you regret it for the rest of your life?"
"Are you talking about Qin Shan, the daughter of the Right Prime Minister?" He Lian Shuang asked.
Xu Han nodded, "That's her."
He Lian Shuang recalled it carefully, "This one, I have seen her a few times during the palace banquets before. Although I haven't had much contact with her, I have the impression that she is very cute. If it is her, then there should be no problem."
Hearing He Lianshuang's words, Xu Han's heart dropped a lot, "Princess, are you serious?"
"Of course it's true." He Lian said: "Can I still lie to you? Then Qin Shan is a great beauty, but she doesn't go out all the year round, and she is rarely known by outsiders, so I didn't arrange a beauty for her It's just a name, she and Mr. Xu are quite a good match, she is a man and a woman."
Xu Han said: "Appearance is second to none. The most important thing is that the two of you have to be in harmony. If your temperament is twisted, it will be difficult for you to live in the future."
"That's true." Yun Chu nodded slightly, "A good match in appearance is not as good as a good match in character. After all, you are a person who will live a lifetime, so you can't do it."
"You guys, just be more reassuring!" Helian smiled and cast a glance at the two of them, "Qin Shan's temperament is not as strong as her mother's, but more soft and gentle, doesn't it match Mr. Xu's gentleness like jade?"
Yun Chuwei suddenly remembered that this year's rankings will be announced, He Lianjin personally held a banquet at the Tanxianglou, and invited everyone from the Dongyang Hou Mansion to dinner, the way Xu Mao looked at Yun Xirong...how can I say that look? , with a bit of appreciation, a bit of throbbing, and a bit of... embarrassment.
At that time, Yun Chuwei felt that if he had the chance to get along with each other, brother Xu would definitely be interested in Yun Xirong, but he didn't expect him to discuss marriage so soon.
Of course, Yun Chuwei hopes that lovers will eventually get married, but the current era is strictly hierarchical, Xu Mao is the champion of the new family, an upstart in the court, and "a son-in-law who rides the dragon quickly" in the eyes of the senior officials of the family, and Yun Xirong is just a concubine. Personally, it is really intentional, so it is too difficult to break through the obstacles in the middle and really be together.
What's more, Xu Mao obviously agreed to discuss the marriage in a hurry because he didn't want to delay Xu Han. If nothing happened, he would have to prepare for the wedding after the Double Ninth Festival.
Forget it, since the fate hasn't arisen yet, it's better to let it go out early, otherwise it will only evolve into a bad fate after a long time.
-
Behind the convoy at this time, three people on horseback walked side by side.
Su Yan glanced at Xu Mao, and asked with a smile, "I heard Mr. Xu has discussed marriage?"
"Yeah." Xu Mao nodded a little embarrassedly.
"Which daughter is it?"
"The right minister's daughter." Xu Mao said.
"You mean Qin Shan?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"This..." Su Yan paused, "Qin Shan's mother is my first sister."
Xu Mao almost fell off his horse, that is to say, after marrying Qin Shan, he still has to call Su Yan "uncle"?He didn't know this at all.
Wu Yong couldn't hold back and laughed.
Xu Maojun's face turned red from holding back, "No way, Master Jiu, are you kidding me?"
Su Yan explained unhurriedly, "Qin Shan's biological mother reconciled with the Right Prime Minister in the early years, and now the stepmother is in charge of Zhongfu. You probably mistook Qin Shan for the current Right Prime Minister's wife's biological daughter."
Xu Mao slandered, it was true.
If Su Yan hadn't said anything, he would have been kept in the dark.
Wu Yong looked at Xu Mao's shocked and shy look, and joked, "Master Xu, if you want to be of the same generation as Lord Jiu, you should either marry Mrs. Qingluan's sister, or marry someone who has nothing to do with the Su family, otherwise Your shout of 'uncle' is decided."
Xu Mao really felt as if he wanted to cry without tears. If he and Su Yan were close friends regardless of their seniority, but once Su Yan became his uncle, the difference in seniority would come out. How could he feel uncomfortable? It doesn't matter if they are distant relatives, but Qin Shan's biological mother and Su Yan have the same father. In this situation, it's impossible not to shout.
Su Yan glanced at him with a smile, "Do you regret it?"
Xu Mao was not in a hurry to reply, for a while, he still hadn't cleared his mind, but regretted it a little bit, even though the kiss was hastily proposed for the sake of his sister, it was a bit too absurd.
-
At the same time, Yun Chuwei in the carriage also came to his senses, "Sister Han, Qin Shan's mother is the half-sister of Master Jiu, and Brother Xu is going to marry her, so don't you have to follow Brother Xu to call her?" I say 'aunt'?"
Xu Han's eyes widened instantly, "No way?"
"Why not?" Yun Chuwei said: "Although the third aunt and the right minister reconciled, but Qin Shan was born to my third aunt, how can the mother-daughter relationship be broken? Besides, Qin Shan Mother and Master Jiu are not distant relatives, but a family, once married, the seniority will be messed up, by the way, did you not know about this in advance?"
Xu Han said angrily, "I really don't know."
Yun Chuwei understood, even if he wanted to come to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't know that this new champion had already recognized Mrs. Dongyang Hou as his godmother, and that's why he made such a big oolong.
"It seems that this marriage is not settled." Yun Chuwei said: "When we return from Phoenix Mountain, let Brother Xu go to the door of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to make it clear that Brother Xu is my mother's godson, and he is going to marry me. Niece, this is too outrageous. But it’s okay, Prime Minister Right is not such an unreasonable person. If you clarify your relationship with the Dongyang Hou Mansion, he will not understand. As for the engagement, now is the right time to retire."
Xu Han sighed, "I thought my brother could find a sister-in-law who could stand up to him, but I didn't expect it to be like this."
"I can't blame you for this." He Lian Shuang said: "Your Prime Minister's House didn't know that your brothers and sisters recognized Mrs. Hou as a godmother, and you mistakenly thought that Qin Shan was the biological daughter of the current Mrs. Right, that's why this trouble happened. It's a big misunderstanding, but fortunately there are not many insiders, just your two families, this kind of thing is nothing, just let it go."
-
The last of the convoy.
Su Yan looked at Xu Mao with a funny face like he had eaten a fly, thinking that He Lianjin probably didn't know about it, otherwise he would have to follow Xu Mao to call him "uncle" if he wanted to let the devil in the world know. It has already come to the door.
"Isn't this matter easy to solve?" Su Yan said: "After you go back, you will go to the right minister's mansion to explain clearly, and say that your brothers and sisters have long recognized Mrs. Hou as a godmother, and are of the same generation as Wei Wei. If you marry Qin Shan, your seniority will be messed up, and the people over there dare not embarrass you." Even if the right minister dares to embarrass you, He Lianjin still has a way to make him shut up obediently.
After hearing this, Xu Mao frowned again.
He hastily agreed to his grandmother's marriage proposal in order not to delay his sister, but he didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding in the end. It's okay for him to be laughed at. He was afraid that if he didn't get married again, he would delay his sister's age.
Wu Yong said: "Mr. Xu is a talented person, and he is the champion of this year's new discipline. If you want to discuss marriage, are you afraid that no girl will marry? No matter how bad it is, isn't there Mrs. Qingluan's cousin in the carriage in front, and that one is also Lichu, why don't you think about it?"
Xu Maobai glanced at him, "You also said that she is sister Wei's cousin. I married her. Can I make sister Wei call her sister-in-law?"
Seeing Xu Mao's impatient look, Wu Yong couldn't help but want to laugh, "Cousin can't make it, isn't there a cousin?"
Cousin... Yun Xirong?
Mentioning this person, Xu Mao suddenly thought of a pair of eyes, which were black and white, and the ancient well was quiet. He would try to hold a banquet in a restaurant that day. He had seen those eyes with his own eyes, as if too many things had accumulated in them, which made people There is an indescribable feeling, always feeling that such a person is smart and wise, unmatched by ordinary women.
Su Yan reminded: "Although you have no blood relationship with the Yun family, you have to think about this kind of thing. Yun Xirong is a concubine. Whether marrying her will cause an uproar is a question worth pondering. You know, how old are you?" In the eyes of the aristocratic family, if the son-in-law who rides the dragon quickly marries a concubine in the end, how many people will be willing?"
It's not that Su Yan looks down on the concubine, on the contrary, he is a concubine himself, and suffered a lot in his early years because of the words "the difference between concubine and concubine". No one understands the difference between the words "concubine and concubine" better than him. other strong feelings.
It was precisely because he had experienced it himself that he kindly reminded Xu Mao.It was because I had no other choice, and Xu Mao's condition was that he could marry a concubine daughter from a wealthy family. Marrying a concubine daughter was a risky thing, not to mention whether his grandmother would agree to it, but the few people in the court stared at him. Seeing Xu Mao as a son-in-law, can they be willing to watch Xu Mao marry a concubine?In the future, it will be inevitable to embarrass Xu Mao in the officialdom.
Xu Mao pursed his lips. What Su Yan said, he didn't think about it, but at present he is thinking more about his younger sister's marriage. Once the new year is over, Xu Han will be 19 years old. A girl who has not yet discussed marriage at this age , who would dare to ask for it?
So he must find a way to get married as soon as possible, so that Xu Han can discuss marriage this year, and get married immediately after the new year.
His eyes fell on the carriage where Yun Xirong was, Xu Mao was full of worries, if Yun Xirong was willing, then this would be a good candidate, after all, he was his favorite.
And Yun Xirong, who had already been missed, didn't even know that she was talking to Yun Qilan in the carriage.
"Second sister, you are not young anymore. Last time, the old lady announced that she would hand over your marriage to the eldest aunt. Does the eldest aunt have any letter?" Yun Qilan asked.
Yun Xirong frowned slightly, Fan shi was quite concerned about this matter, every time she went out to a party, she would find a suitable condition for herself, and when she came back, she would tell her, but she felt dissatisfied as soon as she heard the introduction, it was clear in her heart She clearly recognizes that she is just a concubine, and the marriage is all decided by the head of the house, but she is not reconciled. She always wants to marry someone she likes. some.
Yun Qilan understood most of her reaction when she saw her reaction, "Is it because Second Sister herself doesn't like it?"
Yun Xirong didn't answer, it was a tacit consent.
"Then, what does Second Sister think of a Ruyi Langjun?"
what does it look like
Who can explain this kind of thing clearly, don't they all emphasize the word "fate"?Some people match at a glance, maybe because of their appearance, maybe because of their special temperament, or maybe because of other things. All in all, there is no standard for such things as "feeling".
"I can't say for sure." Yun Xirong said lightly, "But I'm just a concubine, even if I have a wishful husband that I imagined, who can say that I will be able to marry?"
"That's not necessarily true." Yun Qilan said: "Isn't the second aunt a concubine? Didn't she marry the second uncle anyway, so whoever said that there is no way out for a concubine? Bind yourself!"
Yun Xirong didn't say anything, but she was thinking in her heart that there were two reasons why Huang could marry her father.
First, the Huang family was originally the daughter of the chief assistant. Although she was a concubine, she was fundamentally different from the concubine daughters of a small family, at least a little bit more noble.
Second, her biological father, the second master, had conceived and gave birth to the Tongfang girl before her big wedding, and had two children in succession, which damaged her reputation, so in the end she had no choice but to choose a concubine as his wife. Otherwise, who would want to be a mother as soon as she enters the door?Even if it were her own change, if the husband had concubine children before getting married, and asked her to marry and become the aunt, then she would definitely be unwilling.
It was exactly noon when the carriage arrived at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.
Everyone came here after breakfast, so Yun Chuwei suggested to go up the mountain directly at this time, and then have lunch when they are on the mountain.
Everyone has no objection.
There were quite a few servants from the Duke's Mansion, and they started to act as soon as the convoy stopped, and they worked together to move all the things for the picnic on the open-air carriage up the mountain.
After Su Yan explained a few words, he led everyone up the mountain.
He Lianshuang and Yun Chuwei deliberately walked behind Huang Miaoyu.
After being blind for almost a year, Huang Miaoyu has developed the ability to measure the stone steps by feeling, but at the beginning it was a bit difficult to walk, but later on it was faster, and Yun Chuwei and He Lian were far away. left behind.
Yun Chuwei was a little surprised, "I thought she was incapable of going up, but I didn't expect that I underestimated her."
He Lianshuang looked at Huang Miaoyu's appearance on the stone steps, "Actually, if Miaoyu can put her mind in order, she will become a good wife who pleases her mother-in-law and her husband cares about her. But I didn't expect that it was only a year, and the pain of blindness To be able to twist a person's mind to such a twisted point, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would almost think that the current Huang Miaoyu is not my close friend who has been with me for several years, but has been transferred."
Yun Chu thought slightly, He Lianshuang probably didn't know that the root cause of Huang Miaoyu's insanity was her, right?It doesn't matter if you don't know, Huang Miaoyu is just making trouble for no reason. It is enough for her to be crazy alone, so is it possible that someone else will accompany her to be crazy?Helian Shuang is already pregnant and cannot be stimulated anymore.
"Princess, you can't compare to them. If you are tired, sit down and rest for a while before you go." Nanny Nie reminded in a low voice behind her.
Aunt Han also said: "Ma'am is five months pregnant, how can she climb up without a break, it's safer to take a rest for a while before walking."
Su Yan and the others walked quickly because they wanted to arrange things on the mountain, and they had already gone up, but they were not by Yun Chuwei's side at this time.
Yun Chuwei took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked up and saw a green pine forest. He couldn't see the top of the mountain at all, and it was still a long way away.
It could be seen that Helian Shuang was a little tired, so Yun Chuwei called her to sit down in the pavilion next to her and rest for a while.
Aunt Han hurriedly poured warm water for the two of them.
After the two drank it, they continued to sit and take a breath before climbing up.
Yun Xirong and Yun Qilan, who were walking in the front, slowed down at the same time and waited for Yun Chuwei and the others.
But seeing Huang Miaoyu follow up without any pressure, the two looked at each other, dumbfounded.
"Sister-in-law, take a break!" Yun Xirong signaled Cuifu, "After climbing for so long, help your master to rest and drink some water, Master Jiu and the others are probably still making arrangements, and we will just sit when we go up. It’s better to rest enough on the road, and it’s not so tiring to get up, and when you reach the top of the mountain, maybe the tent will be set up.”
Cuifu nodded, helped Huang Miaoyu into the pavilion, and poured water for her.
Huang Miaoyu asked after drinking, "Where are they?"
Of course Cuifu knew who she was asking, and replied: "Girl, Princess Yongchun and Mrs. Qingluan still have a long way to go to catch up with us!" Then she said happily: "I never knew that girl is so powerful, that she can rely on her strength. Measuring the stone steps, the servant feels that the girl's eyes are about to recover."
Huang Miaoyu smiled faintly, she just wanted to prove to He Lianshuang that she was not useless, nor was she completely defeated.There is always one thing, that I can be stronger than her.
When Yun Chuwei and the others caught up, they had almost rested.
"You guys are too powerful." Yun Chu gasped slightly, "Especially sister-in-law, I almost doubt that you can see it."
"Isn't that so?" Yun Xirong said with a smile, "Just now when Qilan and I turned around, we were shocked to see the sister-in-law following behind!"
Huang Miaoyu raised her chin proudly, "It's because sister Wei is pregnant, so she can't walk fast."
"Anyway, sister-in-law is pretty amazing." Yun Chu gave a slight compliment.
"Take a break." Yun Xirong said, "There is still a long way to go up the mountain, but it's still early, and it doesn't look like it will rain. Let's take it easy and wait until we get up. They will also arrange It's almost there."
Yun Chu nodded slightly, and took Helian Shuang to the pavilion to sit down.
After resting for about a cup of tea, they got up and continued walking up the mountain.
In late autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the afternoon sun blows with a little coolness. Occasionally, rows of wild geese can be seen flying to the south, leaving no trace of where they pass.
When Yun Chuwei and the others reached the top of the mountain, Su Yan had already instructed the boys to put the tents and other necessities in place, and even started a fire.
"Jiuye, is there anything wrong?" Yun Chuwei walked over.
Su Yan looked at her and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
Yun Chu smiled, "I came here to exercise after being bored at home for too long, so I have to bear it no matter how tired I am."
Su Yan said, "Go and rest in the tent."
"I'm hungry!" Yun Chu flattened his mouth slightly, "We'll talk about filling our stomachs first. By the way, we agreed to give them barbecue, but I'm like this, I can't even eat, and I can't even smell the smell of charcoal grilling. So, for today's barbecue, I have to trouble Lord Jiu to roast it for them?"
"No problem." Su Yan agreed.
In the past when they were marching and fighting, they camped halfway and roasted prey from the mountains, so Su Yan just cooked the food and didn't see it, but there is still some skill in roasting meat.
The grill was made by Yun Chuwei earlier. It was placed on the red-hot smokeless pear charcoal, and the maids of Meizi Baitan went to bring the skewered meat. There were many kinds of meat, including beef and sheep. Pork tenderloin, tendon wing tip chicken feet, and a lot of vegetables.
Su Yan seemed to expect that today's affairs would fall on his own head, so he specially wore a robe with narrow sleeves, and when the maids brought the meat skewers, he began to brush and roast them.
When it is half cooked, sprinkle the cumin powder on it, only to hear the sound of "sizzling", and the irresistible aroma of mutton skewers enters everyone's nostrils.
Yun Chu covered his nose slightly, gave Su Yan a resentful look, and quietly hid back in the tent.
He Lian's saliva was about to drip down, and he scratched his heart and scratched his liver as he looked at the mutton skewers in Su Yan's hands that were enriched with salt and pepper sauce, and finally couldn't help standing up, his small eyes were full of prayers, "I... can I have a bite?" A string, just a string."
(End of this chapter)
"Girl, did Princess Yongping tell you something?" Cui Fu looked at Huang Miaoyu's face and suddenly felt flustered.
When he went back to the Fan Mansion to let the court envoy Fan Qi look at it, he told her that his girl's sanity was already unstable, so it was best not to be stimulated, otherwise she would easily deteriorate in the direction of insanity.
When Princess Yongping called the girl aside alone, Cuifu didn't hear what the two said, but just by looking at the girl's face, she guessed that she must be irritated.
"Girl..." Seeing that Huang Miaoyu didn't speak, Cuifu lowered her voice again. She has been serving the girl since she was a child. Although she is a master and servant in name, she has long been regarded as a relative in her heart, so she is really worried about her.
"I'm fine, I'm calm." Huang Miaoyu said suddenly.
This sudden calm made Cui Fu feel more like the short peace before the storm.
"Girl, before Princess Yongping got married, she was at odds with Princess Yongchun. Princess Yongping must be jealous of the two of you, so she tried to sow discord. No matter what she said, you must not believe it. !"
She has been with Huang Miaoyu for so long, and in those years she often accompanied Huang Miaoyu into the palace to find He Lian Shuang, so Cuifu still knows a little about the estrangement between the two princesses.
Princess Yongping and her own girl have never met before, even if they met by chance, her girl would just salute her according to her status and never had a close relationship, but Princess Yongping chose to find her on such a special day today , there is something strange at first glance.
Huang Miaoyu didn't speak, and the words of He Lianzhu came to her mind: "It's ironic enough, you regard her as a close friend in your boudoir for many years, but she secretly has an affair with your husband, what do you think He Lianzhu is doing?" She is going to Phoenix Mountain while she is pregnant, and it is not because she wants to take the opportunity to privately meet someone who came back early, this palace even doubts who the child in her belly is."
Could it be...Could it be that Yun An Yao didn't write her a letter in the past two months because he came back a long time ago, but he didn't go back to his house, but lived in a place that was so hidden that she couldn't find it. Are you meeting Helian Shuang?
Is there any personal relationship between them?
Why did she suddenly feel like everyone around her was hiding something from her?
In the dark car with the curtains closed, no one could see. Huang Miaoyu's grim expression seemed to be on the verge of collapse. That face full of hatred was distorted to the point of ferocity, and the last bit of beauty was wiped away. Exhausted.
When they arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Cui Fu carefully helped her get out of the car and enter the mansion.
Yun Chuwei and He Lianshuang were discussing what they should pay attention to when they were pregnant, but when they saw Huang Miaoyu approaching, the two of them stopped talking at the same time.
Huang Miaoyu's body was extremely difficult to give birth to. He Lianshuang and Yun Chuwei understood it very well, so they tacitly did not want to mention the issue of children in front of her, so as not to arouse her unhappiness.
But for Huang Miaoyu, who was psychologically twisted to the limit, the reason why they stopped suddenly was because they had something to hide from her.
"What are you talking about, why did I stop as soon as I came?" She couldn't see it, but she could hear it.
Yun Chu took a slight look at Cuifu, seeing the helplessness on this little girl's face, and felt a little speechless, stood up and personally helped her to sit down, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go to Phoenix Mountain with us?"
Huang Miaoyu retorted directly, "Why, could it be that I can't go?" She was sure of Yun Chuwei in her bones before she spoke privately with He Lian Shuang.
What made Yun Chuwei not even say anything to his sister-in-law, but to confide in an outsider instead?
Yun Chuwei originally wanted to say that you would not be able to go if you were like this, and it would be a hindrance to others, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words back and said politely: "Of course we can go, but our carriage can only go to At the foot of Phoenix Mountain, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself, I'm worried that you won't be able to bear it, sister-in-law."
After hearing this, Huang Miaoyu smiled coolly, "Anyone with a pregnant body can climb up. It doesn't make sense for me to be a burden all alone. Princess Yongchun, do you think I'm right?"
He Lian Shuang glanced at Huang Miaoyu worriedly. The person in front of her now was no longer the Miao Yu she knew before. She had so many things hidden in her heart that she became gloomy, especially with the When speaking in this tone, it was indescribably weird, which made people feel creepy.
"Miaoyu, Weiwei is also worried about you, that's why I asked you to think twice. The road to Phoenix Mountain is not easy to walk. If you feel tired, don't go. It's best to stay in the mansion and rest." After all, she was still worried, or I can't let it go, I still want to see her back to normal.
"Princess Yongchun thinks I'm blind and can't see?" Huang Miaoyu's voice became colder, and her face completely sank.
"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that." Helian Shuang's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly explained, "Miaoyu, you misunderstood me, we are all for your own good."
Huang Miaoyu snorted softly, "Grandfather said, I can't stay in the house all day, I have to go out for a walk, it's rare to have this opportunity right now, but Princess Yongchun keeps blocking it, don't tell me you have something in Phoenix Mountain that you can't see Or are you afraid that I will see you?"
This kind of words are really heartbreaking, but He Lian Shuang will not care about these things with her, and said softly: "If you just want to go out for a walk, then I don't have to go to Phoenix Mountain, I will stay with you, we can go out to go shopping , to play on the boat in Yuye Lake, oh yes, your favorite calendula is blooming, let's go see it together!"
"Don't!" Huang Miaoyu interrupted her, "Phoenix Mountain is so beautiful, and it's rare for Weiwei to gather everyone together. If they all go, and you and I stay, wouldn't it be a shame for Weiwei?"
He Lian Shuang was choked speechless by her, it seemed that no matter what she said, Huang Miaoyu would have dozens of words waiting for her.
Since speaking is wrong, then simply do not say.
Yun Chuwei and Xu Han on the side looked at each other and chose to remain silent.
Yun Chuwei finally knew why Mrs. Fan ran to the Duke's mansion when she was fine on the day Mrs. Su died. Huang Miaoyu was not crazy, she was a completely different person. The former Huang Miaoyu was dead, and now she is on guard With a strong heart and a sensitive mind, she can automatically understand any disturbance as something related to her.Especially for He Lianshuang, no matter what she said or what she did, in her opinion, it was because the other party had done something wrong to her, and when she felt guilty, she wanted to come back to please her and make up for her. He would think that even if He Lian Shuang knelt down and served her as her slave, it was justified.
The atmosphere became so stiff and awkward, Helian Shuang sat very uncomfortable, she stood up helplessly, and said to Yun Chuwei: "You guys talk first, I'll go out and see if my outfit is packed."
Yun Chuwei didn't stop her, but just instructed in a warm voice, "Be careful when you walk, pay attention to your feet, and be careful when you fall."
"Well, I see." Helian Shuang escaped from Yun Chuwei's room as if fleeing.
Only Xu Han, Huang Miaoyu and Yun Chuwei were left in the room.
Both Xu Han and Yun Chuwei were quite generous. Although they were left speechless by Huang Miaoyu's actions, they still managed to hold on.
Sitting down again, Yun Chuwei personally poured tea for Huang Miaoyu and handed it to her, "I heard that my brother will be back in the middle of next month. Sister-in-law has been looking forward to it for so long, and it is considered that my wish will be fulfilled."
Huang Miaoyu didn't show much surprise on her face, she just asked softly, "Really?"
"My mother told me about this. She said that my brother sent a letter. The letter said that he would be back in the middle of next month. Why, doesn't sister-in-law know about this letter?"
Huang Miaoyu smiled slightly, "I know." She just found out today that letters can be lied to. As for whether the other person has returned to Beijing long ago or really will return next month, only he himself knows.
Seeing this expression, Yun Chuwei knew that it was a waste of time to ask. It's better not to ask. There is something wrong with this person today. When he arrives at Phoenix Mountain in a while, it's best not to cause trouble for her, otherwise she won't guarantee whether she will meet with her in public. She turned her face.
Huang Miaoyu was not the only one who went to Dongyang Houfu, Yun Xirong and Yun Qilan were also there.
The cold atmosphere in Yun Chuwei's room was broken by those two people.
"Sister Wei, what are you all doing blankly?"
Yun Qilan had just arrived, and she was a little curious when she saw that everyone was silent.
Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's nothing, just now we were talking about going to Phoenix Mountain to watch the sunrise, since you two have gone, you have to follow my arrangement, we are going to stay at Phoenix Mountain at night, tents and other supplies They are all ready for you. Later, I will send someone to Dongyang Hou Mansion to inform you. I will greet you in advance. At night, no one is allowed to go home. Phoenix Mountain is far away from the city, and no one will escort you back. of."
Although both of them were shocked when Yun Chuwei said that she would not return overnight, but fortunately she said that she would let someone go to Dongyang Houfu to inform her, so as not to leave a bad impression on the elders. Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Xirong nodded, "I have only seen the sunrise in the nunnery. I heard people say that the sunrise is more beautiful from the top of the mountain. Now I have the opportunity."
"Yes, yes!" Yun Qilan's eyes were shining, full of longing, "I've heard people say that standing on the top of Phoenix Mountain, you can not only see the sunrise, but also the sea of clouds, Sister Wei, it's like this Bar?"
Seeing Yun Chu nodded slightly, she quickly said, "Then why don't we prepare our brushes and draw this rare landscape when the time comes?"
"Yes, yes." Yun Xirong hesitated, "But after all, we have to go a long way, and with so many things, will it be too troublesome?"
"It's just some paper, paint and brushes. If you are interested, I'll get someone to prepare it right away." Yun Chu smiled gently and said, "There is a Double Ninth Festival every year, but not every year we can have it." Gathering together with such an opportunity, maybe things will be different in the coming year, so I have to take advantage of this year to record the most beautiful things. In the future, no matter whether it is gathering together or being apart from each other, looking back on today, I hope everyone can have The feeling of nostalgia."
"Sister Wei is very right." Xu Han agreed with her words, "It is possible to have scenery every year, even decades, but people are changing every day. Today next year, who said It depends on what each of us is doing, and whether there is a chance to gather together like today, so, take advantage of the opportunity now, and enjoy yourself to live up to this great time."
Looking at the faces looking forward to going to Phoenix Mountain, Yun Chu smiled sincerely.
Even Huang Miaoyu, who had a gloomy complexion, felt a lot of emotion.
What will she be doing next year today?Do you continue to wait for that person in the empty room, or can't you hold back a quarrel?
When the outer courtyard was ready, Helian Shuang personally came in to inform.
Yun Chu hurriedly beckoned everyone to go out.
Huang Miaoyu walked in front with the help of her maid Cuifu, Xu Han and the others followed closely behind, Yun Chuwei and He Lianshuang led their maidservants to the rear.
"Princess, don't worry about what happened before. My sister-in-law may have said such unrestrained words because she was overly stimulated. In fact, she may not mean to hurt you."
He Lian shook his head hurriedly, "You don't need to explain, I understand, I can understand the pain of losing her eyes, so after hearing those words, it was only a moment of discomfort at the time, and it will be fine afterwards, I don't hold grudges. "
Not holding grudges doesn't mean you don't care, right?
Yun Chuwei caught the faint trace of loneliness in Helian's eyes.
Friends who talked about everything in the past have developed into such an incompatible situation because of a lot of suspicion in the past. Anyone who changes them will find it difficult to accept.
After leaving the gate, Su Yan, Wu Yong, and Xu Mao were already waiting outside. There were three horses standing beside them. It was obvious that these three wanted to go on horseback.
Yun Chuwei, He Lianshuang, and Xu Han had a carriage, and Yun Xirong and Yun Qilan had a carriage. The maidservants of the masters in these two carriages followed on foot. Huang Miaoyu wanted someone to take care of her, so she rode with Cuifu.
Yun Chuwei counted the number of people, and after confirming, he told Su Yan to set off.
She knew that He Lianjin would definitely come, but it was impossible for that person to go with them. He had to go first, or take his time later. Anyway, his focus would not be on skewers, chrysanthemum wine, or even watching the sunrise , she didn't bother to take care of him.
"Sister Han, last time your old lady asked Brother Xu to discuss marriage, is this done?" After the motorcade set off, Yun Chu asked slightly.
"Yeah." Xu Han nodded, "It's the right minister's daughter."
"The right minister's daughter?" Yun Chuwei and He Lian Shuang exclaimed at the same time.
"What's the matter?" Xu Han said: "I haven't seen this girl, neither has my brother, but I heard from my grandmother that it was the daughter from the Right Prime Minister's family who first took a fancy to my brother. As for the time? It was probably early when my brother was the number one scholar in high school, so the prime minister should have observed my brother for more than half a year, and only when he felt satisfied would he agree with his daughter's vision."
Yun Chuwei understands, Prime Minister Right is also imitating Feng Zuoxiang back then and wants to come to the list to catch his son-in-law?Coincidentally, the right minister's prostitute is Su Yirou's biological daughter, the granddaughter of the late Mrs. Su, Yun Chuwei has never had contact with this person, so she doesn't know her nature, and only hopes that She is a dignified and virtuous person like Brother Xu, so he shouldn't go to the mansion to recruit concubines every now and then, so he won't treat her badly.
Xu Han blushed a little, "If it was in Yangzhou, at my brother's age, he would have had sons and daughters long ago. It's just that he has been busy with the scientific research before and didn't care about it, so it was delayed. My brother hasn't married yet. I'll do it this way." It is even more unreasonable for my younger sister to get married first, so it has been delayed until now. Two days ago, my grandmother called him over to talk alone, and he suddenly realized that he has delayed me by not getting married, so he came from the Right Prime Minister's mansion. He agreed without even thinking about it. In fact, it doesn’t matter if I marry later. I am not afraid of other people’s eyes and gossip, mainly because of my brother. I am worried that he will lose his life because of this. I've never seen her before, and if you discuss marriage in such a hurry, if you find out that the other party is not good, wouldn't you regret it for the rest of your life?"
"Are you talking about Qin Shan, the daughter of the Right Prime Minister?" He Lian Shuang asked.
Xu Han nodded, "That's her."
He Lian Shuang recalled it carefully, "This one, I have seen her a few times during the palace banquets before. Although I haven't had much contact with her, I have the impression that she is very cute. If it is her, then there should be no problem."
Hearing He Lianshuang's words, Xu Han's heart dropped a lot, "Princess, are you serious?"
"Of course it's true." He Lian said: "Can I still lie to you? Then Qin Shan is a great beauty, but she doesn't go out all the year round, and she is rarely known by outsiders, so I didn't arrange a beauty for her It's just a name, she and Mr. Xu are quite a good match, she is a man and a woman."
Xu Han said: "Appearance is second to none. The most important thing is that the two of you have to be in harmony. If your temperament is twisted, it will be difficult for you to live in the future."
"That's true." Yun Chu nodded slightly, "A good match in appearance is not as good as a good match in character. After all, you are a person who will live a lifetime, so you can't do it."
"You guys, just be more reassuring!" Helian smiled and cast a glance at the two of them, "Qin Shan's temperament is not as strong as her mother's, but more soft and gentle, doesn't it match Mr. Xu's gentleness like jade?"
Yun Chuwei suddenly remembered that this year's rankings will be announced, He Lianjin personally held a banquet at the Tanxianglou, and invited everyone from the Dongyang Hou Mansion to dinner, the way Xu Mao looked at Yun Xirong...how can I say that look? , with a bit of appreciation, a bit of throbbing, and a bit of... embarrassment.
At that time, Yun Chuwei felt that if he had the chance to get along with each other, brother Xu would definitely be interested in Yun Xirong, but he didn't expect him to discuss marriage so soon.
Of course, Yun Chuwei hopes that lovers will eventually get married, but the current era is strictly hierarchical, Xu Mao is the champion of the new family, an upstart in the court, and "a son-in-law who rides the dragon quickly" in the eyes of the senior officials of the family, and Yun Xirong is just a concubine. Personally, it is really intentional, so it is too difficult to break through the obstacles in the middle and really be together.
What's more, Xu Mao obviously agreed to discuss the marriage in a hurry because he didn't want to delay Xu Han. If nothing happened, he would have to prepare for the wedding after the Double Ninth Festival.
Forget it, since the fate hasn't arisen yet, it's better to let it go out early, otherwise it will only evolve into a bad fate after a long time.
-
Behind the convoy at this time, three people on horseback walked side by side.
Su Yan glanced at Xu Mao, and asked with a smile, "I heard Mr. Xu has discussed marriage?"
"Yeah." Xu Mao nodded a little embarrassedly.
"Which daughter is it?"
"The right minister's daughter." Xu Mao said.
"You mean Qin Shan?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"This..." Su Yan paused, "Qin Shan's mother is my first sister."
Xu Mao almost fell off his horse, that is to say, after marrying Qin Shan, he still has to call Su Yan "uncle"?He didn't know this at all.
Wu Yong couldn't hold back and laughed.
Xu Maojun's face turned red from holding back, "No way, Master Jiu, are you kidding me?"
Su Yan explained unhurriedly, "Qin Shan's biological mother reconciled with the Right Prime Minister in the early years, and now the stepmother is in charge of Zhongfu. You probably mistook Qin Shan for the current Right Prime Minister's wife's biological daughter."
Xu Mao slandered, it was true.
If Su Yan hadn't said anything, he would have been kept in the dark.
Wu Yong looked at Xu Mao's shocked and shy look, and joked, "Master Xu, if you want to be of the same generation as Lord Jiu, you should either marry Mrs. Qingluan's sister, or marry someone who has nothing to do with the Su family, otherwise Your shout of 'uncle' is decided."
Xu Mao really felt as if he wanted to cry without tears. If he and Su Yan were close friends regardless of their seniority, but once Su Yan became his uncle, the difference in seniority would come out. How could he feel uncomfortable? It doesn't matter if they are distant relatives, but Qin Shan's biological mother and Su Yan have the same father. In this situation, it's impossible not to shout.
Su Yan glanced at him with a smile, "Do you regret it?"
Xu Mao was not in a hurry to reply, for a while, he still hadn't cleared his mind, but regretted it a little bit, even though the kiss was hastily proposed for the sake of his sister, it was a bit too absurd.
-
At the same time, Yun Chuwei in the carriage also came to his senses, "Sister Han, Qin Shan's mother is the half-sister of Master Jiu, and Brother Xu is going to marry her, so don't you have to follow Brother Xu to call her?" I say 'aunt'?"
Xu Han's eyes widened instantly, "No way?"
"Why not?" Yun Chuwei said: "Although the third aunt and the right minister reconciled, but Qin Shan was born to my third aunt, how can the mother-daughter relationship be broken? Besides, Qin Shan Mother and Master Jiu are not distant relatives, but a family, once married, the seniority will be messed up, by the way, did you not know about this in advance?"
Xu Han said angrily, "I really don't know."
Yun Chuwei understood, even if he wanted to come to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't know that this new champion had already recognized Mrs. Dongyang Hou as his godmother, and that's why he made such a big oolong.
"It seems that this marriage is not settled." Yun Chuwei said: "When we return from Phoenix Mountain, let Brother Xu go to the door of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to make it clear that Brother Xu is my mother's godson, and he is going to marry me. Niece, this is too outrageous. But it’s okay, Prime Minister Right is not such an unreasonable person. If you clarify your relationship with the Dongyang Hou Mansion, he will not understand. As for the engagement, now is the right time to retire."
Xu Han sighed, "I thought my brother could find a sister-in-law who could stand up to him, but I didn't expect it to be like this."
"I can't blame you for this." He Lian Shuang said: "Your Prime Minister's House didn't know that your brothers and sisters recognized Mrs. Hou as a godmother, and you mistakenly thought that Qin Shan was the biological daughter of the current Mrs. Right, that's why this trouble happened. It's a big misunderstanding, but fortunately there are not many insiders, just your two families, this kind of thing is nothing, just let it go."
-
The last of the convoy.
Su Yan looked at Xu Mao with a funny face like he had eaten a fly, thinking that He Lianjin probably didn't know about it, otherwise he would have to follow Xu Mao to call him "uncle" if he wanted to let the devil in the world know. It has already come to the door.
"Isn't this matter easy to solve?" Su Yan said: "After you go back, you will go to the right minister's mansion to explain clearly, and say that your brothers and sisters have long recognized Mrs. Hou as a godmother, and are of the same generation as Wei Wei. If you marry Qin Shan, your seniority will be messed up, and the people over there dare not embarrass you." Even if the right minister dares to embarrass you, He Lianjin still has a way to make him shut up obediently.
After hearing this, Xu Mao frowned again.
He hastily agreed to his grandmother's marriage proposal in order not to delay his sister, but he didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding in the end. It's okay for him to be laughed at. He was afraid that if he didn't get married again, he would delay his sister's age.
Wu Yong said: "Mr. Xu is a talented person, and he is the champion of this year's new discipline. If you want to discuss marriage, are you afraid that no girl will marry? No matter how bad it is, isn't there Mrs. Qingluan's cousin in the carriage in front, and that one is also Lichu, why don't you think about it?"
Xu Maobai glanced at him, "You also said that she is sister Wei's cousin. I married her. Can I make sister Wei call her sister-in-law?"
Seeing Xu Mao's impatient look, Wu Yong couldn't help but want to laugh, "Cousin can't make it, isn't there a cousin?"
Cousin... Yun Xirong?
Mentioning this person, Xu Mao suddenly thought of a pair of eyes, which were black and white, and the ancient well was quiet. He would try to hold a banquet in a restaurant that day. He had seen those eyes with his own eyes, as if too many things had accumulated in them, which made people There is an indescribable feeling, always feeling that such a person is smart and wise, unmatched by ordinary women.
Su Yan reminded: "Although you have no blood relationship with the Yun family, you have to think about this kind of thing. Yun Xirong is a concubine. Whether marrying her will cause an uproar is a question worth pondering. You know, how old are you?" In the eyes of the aristocratic family, if the son-in-law who rides the dragon quickly marries a concubine in the end, how many people will be willing?"
It's not that Su Yan looks down on the concubine, on the contrary, he is a concubine himself, and suffered a lot in his early years because of the words "the difference between concubine and concubine". No one understands the difference between the words "concubine and concubine" better than him. other strong feelings.
It was precisely because he had experienced it himself that he kindly reminded Xu Mao.It was because I had no other choice, and Xu Mao's condition was that he could marry a concubine daughter from a wealthy family. Marrying a concubine daughter was a risky thing, not to mention whether his grandmother would agree to it, but the few people in the court stared at him. Seeing Xu Mao as a son-in-law, can they be willing to watch Xu Mao marry a concubine?In the future, it will be inevitable to embarrass Xu Mao in the officialdom.
Xu Mao pursed his lips. What Su Yan said, he didn't think about it, but at present he is thinking more about his younger sister's marriage. Once the new year is over, Xu Han will be 19 years old. A girl who has not yet discussed marriage at this age , who would dare to ask for it?
So he must find a way to get married as soon as possible, so that Xu Han can discuss marriage this year, and get married immediately after the new year.
His eyes fell on the carriage where Yun Xirong was, Xu Mao was full of worries, if Yun Xirong was willing, then this would be a good candidate, after all, he was his favorite.
And Yun Xirong, who had already been missed, didn't even know that she was talking to Yun Qilan in the carriage.
"Second sister, you are not young anymore. Last time, the old lady announced that she would hand over your marriage to the eldest aunt. Does the eldest aunt have any letter?" Yun Qilan asked.
Yun Xirong frowned slightly, Fan shi was quite concerned about this matter, every time she went out to a party, she would find a suitable condition for herself, and when she came back, she would tell her, but she felt dissatisfied as soon as she heard the introduction, it was clear in her heart She clearly recognizes that she is just a concubine, and the marriage is all decided by the head of the house, but she is not reconciled. She always wants to marry someone she likes. some.
Yun Qilan understood most of her reaction when she saw her reaction, "Is it because Second Sister herself doesn't like it?"
Yun Xirong didn't answer, it was a tacit consent.
"Then, what does Second Sister think of a Ruyi Langjun?"
what does it look like
Who can explain this kind of thing clearly, don't they all emphasize the word "fate"?Some people match at a glance, maybe because of their appearance, maybe because of their special temperament, or maybe because of other things. All in all, there is no standard for such things as "feeling".
"I can't say for sure." Yun Xirong said lightly, "But I'm just a concubine, even if I have a wishful husband that I imagined, who can say that I will be able to marry?"
"That's not necessarily true." Yun Qilan said: "Isn't the second aunt a concubine? Didn't she marry the second uncle anyway, so whoever said that there is no way out for a concubine? Bind yourself!"
Yun Xirong didn't say anything, but she was thinking in her heart that there were two reasons why Huang could marry her father.
First, the Huang family was originally the daughter of the chief assistant. Although she was a concubine, she was fundamentally different from the concubine daughters of a small family, at least a little bit more noble.
Second, her biological father, the second master, had conceived and gave birth to the Tongfang girl before her big wedding, and had two children in succession, which damaged her reputation, so in the end she had no choice but to choose a concubine as his wife. Otherwise, who would want to be a mother as soon as she enters the door?Even if it were her own change, if the husband had concubine children before getting married, and asked her to marry and become the aunt, then she would definitely be unwilling.
It was exactly noon when the carriage arrived at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.
Everyone came here after breakfast, so Yun Chuwei suggested to go up the mountain directly at this time, and then have lunch when they are on the mountain.
Everyone has no objection.
There were quite a few servants from the Duke's Mansion, and they started to act as soon as the convoy stopped, and they worked together to move all the things for the picnic on the open-air carriage up the mountain.
After Su Yan explained a few words, he led everyone up the mountain.
He Lianshuang and Yun Chuwei deliberately walked behind Huang Miaoyu.
After being blind for almost a year, Huang Miaoyu has developed the ability to measure the stone steps by feeling, but at the beginning it was a bit difficult to walk, but later on it was faster, and Yun Chuwei and He Lian were far away. left behind.
Yun Chuwei was a little surprised, "I thought she was incapable of going up, but I didn't expect that I underestimated her."
He Lianshuang looked at Huang Miaoyu's appearance on the stone steps, "Actually, if Miaoyu can put her mind in order, she will become a good wife who pleases her mother-in-law and her husband cares about her. But I didn't expect that it was only a year, and the pain of blindness To be able to twist a person's mind to such a twisted point, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would almost think that the current Huang Miaoyu is not my close friend who has been with me for several years, but has been transferred."
Yun Chu thought slightly, He Lianshuang probably didn't know that the root cause of Huang Miaoyu's insanity was her, right?It doesn't matter if you don't know, Huang Miaoyu is just making trouble for no reason. It is enough for her to be crazy alone, so is it possible that someone else will accompany her to be crazy?Helian Shuang is already pregnant and cannot be stimulated anymore.
"Princess, you can't compare to them. If you are tired, sit down and rest for a while before you go." Nanny Nie reminded in a low voice behind her.
Aunt Han also said: "Ma'am is five months pregnant, how can she climb up without a break, it's safer to take a rest for a while before walking."
Su Yan and the others walked quickly because they wanted to arrange things on the mountain, and they had already gone up, but they were not by Yun Chuwei's side at this time.
Yun Chuwei took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked up and saw a green pine forest. He couldn't see the top of the mountain at all, and it was still a long way away.
It could be seen that Helian Shuang was a little tired, so Yun Chuwei called her to sit down in the pavilion next to her and rest for a while.
Aunt Han hurriedly poured warm water for the two of them.
After the two drank it, they continued to sit and take a breath before climbing up.
Yun Xirong and Yun Qilan, who were walking in the front, slowed down at the same time and waited for Yun Chuwei and the others.
But seeing Huang Miaoyu follow up without any pressure, the two looked at each other, dumbfounded.
"Sister-in-law, take a break!" Yun Xirong signaled Cuifu, "After climbing for so long, help your master to rest and drink some water, Master Jiu and the others are probably still making arrangements, and we will just sit when we go up. It’s better to rest enough on the road, and it’s not so tiring to get up, and when you reach the top of the mountain, maybe the tent will be set up.”
Cuifu nodded, helped Huang Miaoyu into the pavilion, and poured water for her.
Huang Miaoyu asked after drinking, "Where are they?"
Of course Cuifu knew who she was asking, and replied: "Girl, Princess Yongchun and Mrs. Qingluan still have a long way to go to catch up with us!" Then she said happily: "I never knew that girl is so powerful, that she can rely on her strength. Measuring the stone steps, the servant feels that the girl's eyes are about to recover."
Huang Miaoyu smiled faintly, she just wanted to prove to He Lianshuang that she was not useless, nor was she completely defeated.There is always one thing, that I can be stronger than her.
When Yun Chuwei and the others caught up, they had almost rested.
"You guys are too powerful." Yun Chu gasped slightly, "Especially sister-in-law, I almost doubt that you can see it."
"Isn't that so?" Yun Xirong said with a smile, "Just now when Qilan and I turned around, we were shocked to see the sister-in-law following behind!"
Huang Miaoyu raised her chin proudly, "It's because sister Wei is pregnant, so she can't walk fast."
"Anyway, sister-in-law is pretty amazing." Yun Chu gave a slight compliment.
"Take a break." Yun Xirong said, "There is still a long way to go up the mountain, but it's still early, and it doesn't look like it will rain. Let's take it easy and wait until we get up. They will also arrange It's almost there."
Yun Chu nodded slightly, and took Helian Shuang to the pavilion to sit down.
After resting for about a cup of tea, they got up and continued walking up the mountain.
In late autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the afternoon sun blows with a little coolness. Occasionally, rows of wild geese can be seen flying to the south, leaving no trace of where they pass.
When Yun Chuwei and the others reached the top of the mountain, Su Yan had already instructed the boys to put the tents and other necessities in place, and even started a fire.
"Jiuye, is there anything wrong?" Yun Chuwei walked over.
Su Yan looked at her and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
Yun Chu smiled, "I came here to exercise after being bored at home for too long, so I have to bear it no matter how tired I am."
Su Yan said, "Go and rest in the tent."
"I'm hungry!" Yun Chu flattened his mouth slightly, "We'll talk about filling our stomachs first. By the way, we agreed to give them barbecue, but I'm like this, I can't even eat, and I can't even smell the smell of charcoal grilling. So, for today's barbecue, I have to trouble Lord Jiu to roast it for them?"
"No problem." Su Yan agreed.
In the past when they were marching and fighting, they camped halfway and roasted prey from the mountains, so Su Yan just cooked the food and didn't see it, but there is still some skill in roasting meat.
The grill was made by Yun Chuwei earlier. It was placed on the red-hot smokeless pear charcoal, and the maids of Meizi Baitan went to bring the skewered meat. There were many kinds of meat, including beef and sheep. Pork tenderloin, tendon wing tip chicken feet, and a lot of vegetables.
Su Yan seemed to expect that today's affairs would fall on his own head, so he specially wore a robe with narrow sleeves, and when the maids brought the meat skewers, he began to brush and roast them.
When it is half cooked, sprinkle the cumin powder on it, only to hear the sound of "sizzling", and the irresistible aroma of mutton skewers enters everyone's nostrils.
Yun Chu covered his nose slightly, gave Su Yan a resentful look, and quietly hid back in the tent.
He Lian's saliva was about to drip down, and he scratched his heart and scratched his liver as he looked at the mutton skewers in Su Yan's hands that were enriched with salt and pepper sauce, and finally couldn't help standing up, his small eyes were full of prayers, "I... can I have a bite?" A string, just a string."
