Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 287
After He Lian Shuang gave birth, it was the first time that he brought his youngest daughter Wu Qinlan to the Duke's mansion as a guest.

This premature baby born in August was not favored at all at the beginning. Although many people said that he would be lucky and live a long life, but in his heart, everyone agreed with the saying that he would live seven years and not live eight years. Sooner or later something will happen.

Emperor Yonglong was a little displeased when he heard the rumors in the palace, and let Helian Shuang carry his daughter into the palace, and after only a few months, he was named the princess, named August.

Emperor Yonglong said: "Shuang'er doesn't have to worry about what others say. Originally, the daughter of a princess had to be granted the title when she became an adult, but I gave her the title in advance, so that this honor will overwhelm the 'evil spirit' in the mouths of the common people. Don't worry, Nothing will happen to the kid."

After being told by Emperor Yonglong, all Helianshuang's worries were relieved, and he left the palace with gratitude, and the first thing he did after leaving the palace was to come to the Duke's Mansion, intending to share this joy with Yun Chuwei.

After hearing her finished speaking, Yun Chuwei was of course happy, but at the same time he was a little envious, "The emperor treats the princess as well as ever!"

He Lian Shuang didn't deny it, and smiled, "Father has always treated me like this, but the attitude I have now is even more surprising. After all, my natal family committed such a serious crime. I originally thought that Father would probably even treat me like this." Also bear the grudge, in the end, looking at it this way, I think I was overthinking."

Yun Chu's eyes flickered slightly. In fact, Emperor Yonglong's attitude is not difficult to imagine. Hearing the truth from Luo Lan's mouth and knowing that the Luo family was wronged, he must feel guilty, but he can't do anything openly. What, I can only make up for that layer of guilt on He Lian Shuang and He Lian Jin, so He Lian Shuang can clearly feel that her father treats her better than before.

Smiling lightly, Yun Chu winked at her slightly, "Isn't he right to be nice to you?"

"But..." Helian Shuang always felt that something was wrong.

"You, don't worry too much." Yun Chuwei was really afraid that she would think too much, so he hurriedly said, "Today I made a special trip to ask the cook to make Qinhuai Bajue, how about it, try it?"

When He Lian Shuang heard this, her eyes lit up. She still remembered that Angkor took her to the night market on the first Chinese Valentine's Day when she was first married. At that time, she only tasted two of Qinhuai's eight specialties: crispy pancakes with duck oil and shredded chicken noodles. But later Yun Chuwei told her that the cooking in the capital was not authentic, and when she had a chance in the future, she would directly invite the best chef from Yingtian Mansion to cook a table of serious Qinhuai Bajue from her home. "Wei Wei, this cook..."

"I asked someone to invite someone from Yingtian Mansion with the help of Master Jiu." Yun Chuwei knew what she wanted to ask, and frowned, "After receiving your invitation letter, I asked the big kitchen to prepare it in advance. Alright, I guess it won’t be long before it’s on the table, you’ll have to taste it in a while, and let’s talk about how it tastes compared to the ones you’ve eaten before.”

There's nothing wrong with Yun Chuwei's vision, so Helian Shuang naturally had nothing to say, "Wei Wei, you really know how to enjoy yourself. You've eaten all the good things from all over the world, right?"

"Where is it?" Yun Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I just wanted to eat something authentic because I was looking for something special. If you want to say that the person who has tasted everything from all over the world, shouldn't it be that young master from the Lu family? That's called heaven." Flying, crawling and swimming in the water, there is nothing he has not eaten."

Speaking of that one, He Lian Shuang let out a "huh", "A few days ago, I heard women gossiping about this Young Master Lu who failed to negotiate marriage several times. What's going on?"

Speaking of this issue, Yun Chuwei really gave birth to a sorrow of "unfortunate family" for her natal family, "Don't mention it, the girl of her natal family is ignorant, and she couldn't please Young Master Lu, so she resorted to tricks and hurt her three times." If we fail to discuss it a few times, we will lose our reputation.”

During these days, He Lian Shuang's heart was all on her little daughter, and she didn't pay much attention to the outside world. When she heard this, she was aroused curiosity, "Is it the unmarried fifth girl?"

"It's her." Yun Chu shook his head slightly and sighed, "My third uncle and aunt, it's been a waste of raising her, and now she's in prison, and it's a certainty that she will be executed after next autumn, besides This matter involves the Lu family and the Gong family in Niangniangmiao Hutong, even if your father comes, it may not be easy."

There is a saying in the south that "half of the world's food and tax comes from Jiangnan" to describe the wealth of Jiangnan, while in the north there is a saying that "half of the treasury in Nanliang comes from the Lu family" to describe the wealth of the Lu family.

This is not an exaggeration at all, the Lu family has a big business, covering more than half of Nanliang, and the Lu family is undoubtedly the big head of annual taxes.

Emperor Yonglong was actually very happy to see such a situation. The so-called scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen were located at the bottom of the Lu family. The bigger the family business, the higher the taxes, and the treasury never had to worry.

Furthermore, Emperor Yonglong was a man with a long-term vision. Farming was important, but he discovered that commerce had become an indispensable factor in promoting the rapid development of a country.

To give a simple example, although Emperor Yonglong allowed the opening of sea trade, in fact, no one dared to try it at the beginning. It was the Lu family who first proposed the establishment of a commercial fleet and voluntarily donated money to the royal family. The sea trade kicked off, and the Lu family was the first to eat crabs. That's why it's only in Nanliang now that new things such as dressing mirrors and American ginseng can be seen.

Emperor Yonglong maintained at least one or two points of courtesy to the Lu family, not to mention how close he was.

In his heart, he sincerely admired the two helmsmen, Lu Jiaping and Lu Jiaxing, and the heir Lu Xiuyuan. Under the hands of these three, the Lu family's business is booming, and the Lu family's name can be heard everywhere they go.

Now that Yun Qilan's matter involved the Lu family, and it was a murder with conclusive evidence, even if Emperor Yonglong came, how could he still offend the Lu family because of Dongyang Hou Yunchong's face?Leaving aside the fact that this matter has nothing to do with Dongyang Hou, even if it does, Emperor Yonglong will probably pretend not to know.

He Lian Shuang knew that Yun Chuwei was right, so he didn't refute, but just smiled, "Lu Xiuyuan, the son-in-law who rides the dragon, I don't know who will end up in the end."

"I'm not sure about this." Yun Chuwei felt a little headache when he thought of the flowers that Su Yan said before that Lu Xiuyuan couldn't let go of them for three to five years.

If you really counted it, she didn't have much contact with Lu Xiuyuan, and except for the first two times, Su Yan either accompanied her to discuss business, or Su Yan came forward directly, and she didn't go.

She has never understood when Lu Xiuyuan fell in love with her, let alone what is special about her that deserves his concern. You know, when he first met Lu Xiuyuan, Yun Chuwei himself was "notorious". Yes, among the girls in the capital, whoever mentions her is not disgusted and looked down upon, Lu Xiuyuan can't be interested in such a notorious girl like her, but according to Master Jiu, Lu Xiuyuan's "coveting" towards her is probably from the beginning. It's been there since the beginning.

Therefore, Yun Chuwei avoided as much as he could, and tried not to contact Lu Xiuyuan directly.

It is said that women in love have zero IQ. Yun Chuwei really wants to say that some men can do crazier and more eye-popping actions for the sake of the word "love". The reason why she hides from Lu Xiuyuan is because In order to avoid suspicion, on the other hand, he wanted to keep Lu Xiuyuan's "noble son" image in his mind.

Yun Chuwei is the last thing Yun Chuwei wants to see from Lu Xiuyuan because of the blackening of love. He finally has a friend who is so elegant to the bottom of his heart. Naturally, he hopes that he can maintain his current disposition for the rest of his life.

It's just that Yun Chuwei probably won't have a chance to find out. Lu Xiuyuan will never be blackened because of her once boasting, and will always keep her the most authentic, gentle and jade-like, most "noble" image of a gentleman. He will never confess his feelings or even bother her.

So even if he saw Lu Xiuyuan whose temperament hadn't changed at all, Yun Chuwei would only be amazed by his open-minded and magnanimous temperament, and would not think that it was because of him.

Qinhuai Bajue is indeed authentic. Originally, Helian Shuang had something hidden in his heart and had no appetite, so he ate double the amount of food he used to eat. He was full of praise, "It's the first time I have eaten authentic food." What did I remember? , and said: "However, no matter how delicious Qinhuai Bajue is, it can't compare to the skewers that I ate at Phoenix Mountain. Although I only tasted a small skewer, ah, the taste is still in my mouth. What about it." Saying that, the saliva started to swirl, "Wei Wei, you see that we don't have to be so taboo now, you can make it again sometime, so that I can taste it all at once."

It's a pity that Yun Chuwei didn't taste a piece of meat that time, "If you want to grill skewers, you have to wait a little longer. The charcoal is more difficult to get. Last time I asked someone to burn it in advance. Now, it's half a hour I won't be able to find so much pear charcoal in a while, otherwise, we have an appointment to play outside on the first day of the new year, and then I will get everyone ready to roast it to my heart's content, how about it?"

"Really?" Helian Shuang became excited. She loved the taste so much, especially when she was eating lightly during the confinement period. She thought and thought and hoped and hoped all day long, hoping that Yun Chuwei would bring it up again. Baked it once, but after looking forward to it for so long, she didn't hear Yun Chuwei mention it, so she simply spoke up brazenly.

Seeing her happy face, Yun Chu smiled slightly, "However, since you have come here, how about playing all day, and I will let you taste the authentic mutton pot in the evening."

"Okay, okay!" He Lianshuang is now like Cong Yun Chuwei who gets excited when he hears new words from Yun Chuwei's mouth, because she knows very well that Yun Chuwei is very pursuing food, and he doesn't want anything but good ones, so don't worry about it Whether she can understand what she said, all she needs to do is nod and say she wants to eat.

However, the mutton pot?What is this way of eating?
Yun Chuwei saw her doubts, "I just had someone make a pot two days ago, and it just so happens that you are here today, to try the water tonight."

Therefore, He Lian Shuang was not in a hurry to leave, and played with her daughter in Yunchu Weifang for a day. Although Lanlan was born prematurely, she was actually only more than a month younger than Su Yunkai and Su Yueming. They are small, but they can crawl easily on the blanket. The three little ones gathered together, grabbed the rattles and other toys on the stall, and babbled with each other. Anyway, Yun Chuwei couldn't understand a sentence, see Wu Qinlan crawled over, she hugged her and kissed her, "It seems that Lanlan likes to play with our Xiaoba and Xiaoshi very much, we will come here often in the future, okay?"

When Lanlan heard a strange voice, she tilted her head to look at Yun Chuwei, seeing that it wasn't her mother, she pouted all of a sudden, struggling to throw herself into Helian's arms.

He Lianshuang was very helpless, and carried her over to nurse her. Lanlan's physical strength was not as good as those of Yunchuwei's family, so she fell asleep not long after.

When Wu Yong went down to the Yamen, he asked Helian Shuang who hadn't returned after entering the palace. He was in a hurry, so he rode a fast horse and headed towards the imperial city. When he arrived outside Chengtian Gate, he was told that the princess had already left the palace in a chariot. Thinking about it, I knew that I must go to find Yun Chuwei, so I turned around and ran to the Duke's mansion.

At that time, Yun Chuwei had just had someone set up a stove in the small courtyard to set up a pot, and the soup had already boiled away, and the aroma filled the entire courtyard. There were several plates on the small table next to them, and the two plates were as thin as paper. Lamb, two plates of meatballs, and a plate of green vegetables. In addition, there was a tall glass bottle, which contained the juice that Yun Chuwei had squeezed out by someone. It matched the color of the glass bottle, which was very pleasing to the eye.

The two were about to start, when the woman from the second door came in and said Concubine Wu was here, Yun Chu smiled and glanced at the embarrassed Helian Shuang, "Hurry up and ask Concubine Consort to come in."

"This..." The mother-in-law hesitated. After all, it is the inner courtyard, so it is appropriate for the son-in-law to come in like this?

Seeing her hesitation, Yun Chuwei said, "Bring Master Jiu along!"

"Hey." Master Jiu is also here, so there is no need to worry about anything.

He Lian Shuang asked: "Where is Mrs. Tai?"

Yun Chu slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "I just sent someone to notify me, and the servant replied that Mrs. Tai has fasted recently and she doesn't touch meat."

In fact, it was also the "how to maintain health" that Yun Chuwei taught Madam Tai, fasting for a day or two every once in a while.

The life expectancy of ancient people is generally shorter, and there are very few people who can live to seventy and eighty, so Yunchu Wei usually pays attention to health preservation and exercise. She thinks that even if she doesn't live to seventy and eighty, she should at least live a few years longer than people of this era That's all right, otherwise, if you leave in such a muddle-headed way before you've made a living, what's the point, who knows if you'll meet Master Jiu in the next life.

While Yun Chuwei pays attention to himself, he will also intentionally or unconsciously spread to Mrs. Tai what he thinks is not beyond the rules but is useful.

Under her subtle influence, Mrs. Tai has broken through many overly conservative ideas. Anyway, for Mrs. Tai, whose children and grandchildren live together, the most important thing to do now is to "live" well. This "living" method can be Be particular about it, it's no longer the simple pursuit of material things in the past, so Yun Chuwei formulated a small health care plan for her, Mrs. Tai is very useful, she follows the plan every day, and her complexion is getting better and better recently.

When Su Yan and Wu Yong came over, they were both taken aback when they saw the so-called "mutton pot".

"Sister Yun, how did you come up with the idea of ​​eating mutton in this way?" Wu Yong thought it was novel and fun. When he went to the Phoenix Mountain barbecue last time, he realized that Sister Yun had a lot of thoughts in her head. It can surprise people every time, and the smell of barbecue is still endless aftertaste.

Su Yan also looked sideways.

Yun Chuwei felt a little embarrassed, and said, "I just feel tired of eating ordinary mutton, so I want to eat it differently!"

Su Yan's eyes flickered slightly, it wasn't like someone who thought of "Mutton Pot" for the first time could say it, but he was very happy to see such Wei Wei, he didn't have to tell him everything, let him point it out one by one. Wouldn't it be more pleasant to find out a little bit?

Skin care products, barbecue, clogs, mutton pot, Su Yan is very curious, what will be next?Why does Wei Wei have so many novel things in his head that do not deviate from the etiquette.

In fact, this is often the case. People's ideological laziness has formed a fixed pattern. When they encounter similar things in the future, they will follow the track of their predecessors. If one day someone suddenly breaks this After you find out that the other method he used is so simple, you will have a feeling of "I didn't expect it". The same is true for barbecue, and the same is true for mutton pot. It is the same food, change a way of eating, The taste is different, which will bring you a very novel experience.

However, in this era of strict etiquette, even if someone wants to diverge their thinking, if they don't handle it well, they may be deviant and will be punished by etiquette, so many people stick to the rules.

Yun Chuwei is different from them, the things before her time travel are equivalent to golden fingers, allowing her to stand in God's vision to pick out things that fit this era and present them bit by bit.

But at the moment, when He Lianshuang put the extremely thin mutton slices into the pot for a while, then scooped them up and dipped them into his mouth, he immediately had a feeling of "why didn't I think of this way of eating?" "Wei Wei, you are amazing, you always surprise me."

Yun Chu smiled, poured a glass of freshly squeezed juice and handed it to her.

He Lianshuang looked curiously at the fruit juice that was colored attractively by the glazed cup, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Juice!" Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's made by squeezing out seasonal fruits and adding a little sugar. Would you like to try it?"

He Lian Shuang put down his chopsticks, took a sip of it, his eyes straightened immediately, "This... this is a peach, why don't I never think that a peach can be so delicious?" He shook the beautiful glass cup , "Hey, it's amazing, Master Jiu, where did your daughter-in-law come up with such crazy ideas? Could it be you who taught her?"

Su Yan smiled, "I don't dare to take credit for it, it's the first time I drink this juice like you, and it feels pretty good."

With Su Yan's praise, Yun Chu's tiny tail almost went up to the sky, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "The princess mainly likes it, and I will squeeze other things for you when I come another day."

"No, no, no." Helian Shuang had an idea, and laughed, "Why don't you teach me this unique skill, and I'll squeeze some for our old lady when I go back?"

"Okay!"

As long as others are willing to learn, Yun Chuwei is not stingy with teaching, besides, the other party is a princess, if many things that have just been released can be released through the hands of a noble person like He Lianshuang, the world will have less questioning eyes, and it will be very easy. spread quickly.

Yun Chuwei's doing this is actually for her own "enjoyment" in the future. After all, some things in this era are really too old-fashioned. If things go on like this, 50 years later, she will be able to eat and drink exactly the same as she does now, so stagnant. , is not a good thing for the whole country.

After eating and drinking enough, Wu Yong hugged his sleeping daughter and left with He Lian Shuang. Su Yan stayed in Yunchu Wei's room, just sitting quietly without saying a word.

Yun Chu glanced at him with a smile, "I thought Master Jiu would ask me why I knew those things."

Su Yan shook his head, "It doesn't matter how you know, what I care more about is what else do you know?"

Yun Chuwei rolled his eyes, "It's gone."

Su Yan didn't believe it, "It's really gone?"

"It's really gone." Yun Chu pointed slightly at his head, "Look, I'm just like you, I only have one head, how can I come up with so many new things, but they're all little cleverness .”

Su Yan hugged her into his arms and said softly, "Do you know that your so-called 'little cleverness' has a great influence."

"Really?" Of course she knows that these things can have a great impact, but they are all good influences, and that's enough.

"Of course." Su Yan kissed her forehead, "You broke the rules and will affect the thinking of contemporary people."

Yun Chu blinked slightly, "Then, does Master Jiu think it's good or bad?"

"Of course it's good." Su Yan smiled, "Since the opening of sea trade, the people of Nanliang have actually accepted new things very quickly, so if Wei Wei still has some good ideas, you can come up with them and treat them as good ideas." benefit the people."

Yun Chuwei knew that he would say that, "Well, when I think about it later, I will definitely not be stingy."

-

A few days later, at noon, the mother-in-law from the Su family came to say that the third aunt asked Yun Chuwei to come over.

Yun Chu was slightly taken aback, "What is Sangu Grandma looking for?"

The mother-in-law whispered: "It's the cousin girl and the young master who came."

Biao girl, of course it is Qin Shan.

She asked someone to inquire about it before, saying that Prime Minister Qin had restrained Qin Shan and not allowed her to step out of the inner courtyard. Qin Shan was able to bring Qin Yan to Su's house today. Could it be that Prime Minister Qin figured it out?

Yun Chuwei cleaned up briefly, handed over Xiaoba and Xiaoshi to Meizi and the others, and took Aunt Han to the Su Mansion in a soft sedan chair.

The third aunt Su Yirou received Qin Shan and Qin Yan in the flower hall.

The young man probably didn't go out often, and he was a bit introverted. When he saw Yun Chuwei and the others coming, he blushed a little, and hurriedly got up to salute, "Aunt."

Qin Shan is quite generous, just like the ones I have seen before.

Yun Chu smiled and nodded, "Shan'er, why are you free today?"

Qin Shan gave Qin Yan a wink, and Qin Shan immediately handed the bronzing wedding invitation to Yun Chuwei.

"This...is this?" Yun Chuwei hastily opened it to look, it was the marriage between Qin Shan and Xia Yan, the eldest son of the Xiping Marquis Mansion, and they got married on the twelfth lunar month.

Su Yirou had tears in her eyes, "Shan'er, didn't you want to marry the prince of the Xiping Marquis?"

Qin Shan forced a smile and pretended to blush, "Mother, I hadn't met Shizi before, but I was lucky enough to meet him, and I think he is nice, so..."

In fact, this is not the case. Qin Tao grounded her, not to mention seeing Xia Yan, even if she wanted to get out of her yard, she didn't see her mother when she brought Qin Yan last time. complain.

Qin Shan wanted to fulfill his younger brother's wish, so he made a condition with Qin Tao, if she agreed to marry, then Qin Tao had to agree to bring her younger brother to Su's residence to meet her mother.

The top priority is her being able to marry. As for the others, they all stand aside. Prime Minister Qin is naturally more than happy, so he nodded without saying a word, so before Yun Chuwei and the others came, there was a scene where mother and child were separated for several years. tear gas drama.

Yun Chu looked at Qin Shan slightly, and asked her, "Shan'er, have you really thought about it?"

Others may not be able to see it, but Yun Chuwei is so perceptive, she can detect something is wrong with a small detail, a small movement or a slight expression, and roughly guessed that the reason why Qin Shan agreed to marry him was because of Qin Yan.

It is true that Xia Yan, this kid, Yun Chuwei, has met before. He is handsome, and his character is nothing to say. As for his family background, he is from an honorable family, and he is even closer to Qin Shan.

Yun Chu thought slightly, unless Qin Shan had someone in her heart, with her temperament, she would not easily reject such a person who could not make any serious mistakes.

If Qin Shan has no one in her heart, it is because she hates that this is the marriage her father arranged for her for her own benefit, so she also hates the eldest son without even meeting him.

Qin Shan said with a smile: "The wedding date is set, and my aunt asked me if I've thought about it. How should I think about it?"

Yun Chuwei pulled Qin Shan aside alone, and said earnestly: "Shan'er should understand what auntie means, I know you didn't do it voluntarily, but in order to let your younger brother see your mother, is it worth sacrificing your life's happiness?"

Qin Shan didn't expect Yun Chuwei to see through everything directly, and after being surprised, his face became serious, "It's worth it!"

In the past, when she hadn't discussed marriage, she was the only one in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion who really loved her younger brother. The others were either hypocritical or had ulterior motives. Qin Shan was very worried about what would happen to her younger brother after she got married, so she told her father The purpose of making such a deal is that my younger brother can come to Su's residence often in the future, and also so that more people can feel sorry for him.

In this way, Yun Chuwei had nothing more to say, and sighed softly, "Shan'er is a smart and assertive child, I can understand your painstaking efforts, then would you like to listen to your aunt's persuasion?"

Qin Shan said respectfully: "Auntie, please tell me."

Yun Chu said slightly: "Actually, I met that son of the Marquis of Xiping when our baby was full moon. He is a person with good looks and character. If you marry him, it may be a good relationship. You don't need to turn your resentment towards your father on him, otherwise it's not an option to have such a deadlocked relationship, after all, you will spend your whole life with him, and besides, Auntie has to tell you a little secret."

"What secret?" Qin Shan became curious.

Yun Chu slightly lowered his voice and said: "Actually, the eldest son of Xiping Houfu has been in love with Shan'er for a long time!"

Qin Shan's fair face turned red all of a sudden, "Auntie, you're making fun of me again."

"It's true, it's something out of the question, as an elder, can I joke around at will?" This was what Master Jiu told her, otherwise she would know where to go.

Jiuye's news, of course, can't be wrong.

Therefore, Yun Chuwei felt that although Qin Shan's marriage was for profit, Qin Shan might not be unhappy after marrying. After all, it is better to marry someone who really loves and respects her than someone who doesn't want to see her. Be strong, like Qiu Xia, she thinks that she is married to her heart's content, but it turned out to be like this, and now she must be struggling to survive in her husband's house.
