Yutai Bi

Chapter 217
"Madam's embroidery building has also been cleaned, Madam, is she going to take a look?" Mother Tian saw that there were no Xu Shi and Baicao among the girls who followed Cen Sanniang, she was suspicious, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she just kept being courteous. with.

"The main room of the second entrance is sealed up. My father-in-law and I can live in the guest room across the second entrance. Mama Fang, you take Fengchun to tidy up." Cen Sanniang glanced at the embroidered building in the backyard, but did not go up.

The guards were all placed in the front courtyard, and the main courtyard of the second entrance originally lived with Cen Siye and Mrs. Li.Cen Sanniang didn't want to live in it either, she wouldn't stay for long, she would rather live in the guest room across the courtyard.

Tian's mother wiped her tears: "Young Madam is really filial. The Fourth Master and Madam are so relieved to know that you have become the first-rank Duke's wife."

Cen Sanniang couldn't laugh or cry.She felt that she was not the rightful owner, and she felt a little nervous about living in Fourth Master Cen and Mrs. Li's place.She could only appease Mother Tian: "Grandmother stays alone in the Duke's mansion, and I will go back to Chang'an after living with my grandfather for a long time. The main courtyard is a new fan. If Zhilin gets married in Longzhou in the future, I will leave it to him." New house. No need to pick up decorations anymore."

Sanfang also sent some girls and women to wait on them.The kitchen is also fully prepared.In the evening, there are banquets in the three rooms.Seeing that she could rest in the afternoon, Cen Sanniang sealed Mama Tian's ten taels of silver and sent her back to report the letter, and went to the courtyard to rest.

He was falling asleep in a daze, and was kissed on the face.She stretched out her arms to hug Du Yansui, rubbed against him, and asked him vaguely: "Everything is settled? What time is it?"

"It's still early, it's not right yet." Du Yansui yawned, and said softly with her arms around her, "I walked slowly on the road and missed the Dragon Boat Festival. Do you remember the Dragon Boat Festival that year? The fire dragon in Longzhou is so beautiful, I really want to see it again one time."

"It's good to miss it. There will always be entertainment in festivals. I don't want to watch the boat race with Princess Teng." Cen Sanniang just wanted to pay homage to her parents, and then detour back to Chang'an after staying for a few days.Stop wherever the scenery is good on the road.Just go back to the government before the end of the year.

Du Yansui said: "Since we're here, we'll see each other. With me here, are you still afraid of him?"

Cen Sanniang murmured, "The Li family are all lunatics. Zhaoyi can enter the palace...what else can't be done?"

She sighed and said: "Dating with the concubine is considered a date, so I have to go to the palace to meet her."

After talking for a while, she woke up and called Ah Qiu in to wait for her to get up.

She changed into a silver-red one-piece dress with double-breasted and large sleeves, and wore it in a high bun with golden phoenix steps.Seeing Du Yansui sitting on the side smiling and looking at herself.Cen Sanniang sighed: "In the past, I was reluctant to buy altar Jiang Xinshui when I was sent to someone else. Dress up gorgeously for your identity. Grandmother thought I was going to demonstrate."

Hearing this, Du Yansui got up and went over, picked out another six gold tins from the makeup box and put them on her bun, picked up a few gold bracelets and put them on her hands, and picked up a ruby ​​necklace to hang around her neck , laughing and said: "This is all alive!"

Cen Sanniang picked up the comb and wanted to hit her. She saw Aqiu pursing her lips and holding back her smile from the mirror, and then she endured it: "It's not bad. There are a lot of people in the third room. The cousins ​​are gradually getting married, and there seem to be a few more nieces." , I just pulled it out as a gift."

She turned her head and asked Ah Qiu: "Has the ceremony been prepared?"

Ah Qiu laughed and said, "I took them out and put them in boxes."

Du Yansui glanced at the hourglass, held Cen Sanniang's hand and said, "It's half an hour before we go out, just take me to the Xiulou where you lived when you were young."

Cen Sanniang said angrily, "What's so interesting?"

Du Yansui didn't care, and pulled her out excitedly: "Except for me, I'm afraid that your father has never entered your embroidery building. The only one, I must see it. Maybe you still have a child in your room." stuff."

Cen Sanniang had no choice but to go with him to the Xiulou in Linhou Garden.

The stairs are clean and a little cramped.

The two of them went upstairs to the living room, where there was a small round table with a waist inlaid with marble and a few drum stools.There is a landscape painting on the wall of the main hall, which seems to be signed by Master Cen.

Du Yansui glanced at her and said, "You adore your father?"

Cen Sanniang snorted and did not answer.

Adjacent to the living room is the boudoir.Against the wall is a canopy bed with pink curtains.There is a teapot set on the cabinet, and two peacock feathers are inserted in the vase.Next to the window is Zhang Shu'an, and the four treasures of the study are tidy.

As soon as the two entered the room, although Cen Sanniang looked around, Du Yansui also watched curiously.The eyes of the two fell on the dressing table at the same time.

The dressing table is placed on the other side of the room. In the center is a tall bronze mirror, and below it is a huge box for jewelry.

"Look at what jewelry you used when you were young." Du Yansui stepped forward with a smile and opened the box.

Cen Sanniang curled her lips and said, "I was only ten years old when I went to live in the third room. I packed away the valuables long ago, but they were just hair ties..." Before she finished speaking, she saw Du Yansui take out two bags from the box with a livid face. Only dolls come.

She covered her mouth with her hand, only feeling the coldness creeping up from the soles of her feet.

That's what she did when she was in Hongzhou.Made four.She, Baicao, King Teng and Du Yansui.

The box contains the dolls of her and King Teng.King Teng has already been here.

Du Yansui took a deep breath, put down the doll and pulled her into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, maybe he's just thinking about the past...I'm here."

Cen Sanniang hugged him tightly, regretting for a moment that she shouldn't have come back to Longzhou.

After a long time, I heard Du Yansui say dissatisfiedly: "Actually, you are not beautiful enough."

After getting along for a long time, Cen Sanniang knew that Du Yansui was trying to beat around the bush, and when she heard this, she understood that he was comforting herself.She calmed down and said softly: "I used to be unable to understand King Teng's mind. I always felt that he was different from others. He never considered other people's ideas when he did things. Probably because of his noble background. When encountering such unreasonable and For a person with great power, I feel very small and extremely helpless."

"You have different identities now, so you don't need to be afraid of him. The relationship between the emperor Zhaoyi and King Teng is extremely delicate. I guess he came to the Xiulou where you lived before, probably to see how different you are and how you can get Yuan Tiangang's comment." Du Yansui guessed what King Teng was thinking.

"Maybe you are all wrong. The most beautiful woman that night was Liu Niang." Cen Sanniang saw the flint and other things beside the oil lamp on the cabinet, and sighed softly: "Burn it, I feel uncomfortable looking at it."

Two dolls were burned.Du Yansui was also not in the mood to look through Cen Sanniang's childhood belongings, and said after a moment of contemplation: "He must have come here after the cleaning. He should have known that you would return to the embroidery building when you were young, and you would find these two Dolls. San Niang, when you saw these two dolls, what did you think of?"

All Cen Sanniang could think about was whether King Teng would be like the emperor, stealing and plundering.What you can't get is the best, and you still haven't stopped thinking.But when I said it, I felt a bit self-indulgent.

"Prince Teng has a deep meaning in his actions. After the sacrifice, you may be able to see some clues when you go to the palace to pay a visit." Du Yansui was annoyed that King Teng coveted Cen Sanniang, and felt that King Teng would not be so stupid.

The puppet will be discovered by Cen Sanniang, and may also be discovered by herself.

Even if the emperor fell in love with Wu Zhaoyi that day and Wu Zhaoyi refused, it might not be so smooth to welcome her into the palace.Concubine Teng is the daughter of the old Duke Yuchi. The old Duke is still alive, and both Yuchi Dalang and Erlang are reused by the emperor.Du Yansui thought that King Teng would not be so stupid as to offend the Yuchi Mansion and the Du family in order to get Cen Sanniang.Even if he had this intention, wouldn't he be committing suicide if he robbed the wife of a first-rank duke when the emperor was eager to find fault?
Du Yansui always felt that it was difficult to guess what King Teng was thinking, so he simply didn't bother to guess, as soldiers came to block him, and water and earth flooded him.

Cen Sanniang nodded, and a bright light flashed in her mind: "I made four in total, and there are two more, one is Baicao, and the other is you. You said, he wanted to imply that you have something to do with Baicao?"

"What relationship do I have with Baicao?" Du Yansui asked Cen Sanniang back.

Baicao and the Xu family disappeared without a trace, so how could it have anything to do with Du Yansui.Cen Sanniang laughed, she was really thinking wildly.

After a delay in Xiulou, the two went downstairs, left the mansion and took a carriage to the third bedroom of Cen's house.

The door of the third room was opened, and the eldest master, the fourth master, went to the door to greet him in person.

Cen Sanniang didn't get out of the car, she went directly into the second door from the side door, got out of the carriage, and saw the eldest wife, the second wife and the fourth wife leading the daughters-in-law in the Chuihuamen to pick her up with smiles.

Seeing that she was full of wealth and dignity, the fourth lady exclaimed excitedly: "Oh, the third lady is now a first-class lady, and even Aunt Tang can't recognize her attire!"

Cen Sanniang smiled and saluted the aunts.I also greeted my cousins' daughters-in-law.Seeing her as if seeing a family member, Mrs. Zou's eyes turned red and she almost cried.

"The old lady is still waiting. What's the name of meeting here, let's talk about it in the house." The eldest lady said, and accompanied Cen Sanniang to go in.

Compared with the second gate of the Duke's Mansion, which needs a soft bridge, the Cen's ancestral house does not need it. It walks around the main courtyard along the corridor, passes through the hall and patio, and arrives at the old lady's courtyard.

"The third lady is here!" Mother Tian watched from the porch, her face beaming with joy, and she lifted the bamboo curtain herself.

When a group of people walked in, they saw Mrs. Cen sitting on the Luohan couch in the main hall.

The old lady reached out to Tian's mother, probably wanting her to help her up.Cen Sanniang looked at the brocade cushions placed on the floor in front of the couch, walked quickly and bowed down: "Sanniang pays respects to my grandma."

Mrs. Cen helped Mama Tian to get up, stepped forward to help Sanniang Cen herself, patted her hands so excited that she couldn't speak, her eyes gradually became moist: "Okay, good boy."
