married daughter

Chapter 328 Chapter 378~379 You Are Happy
Ruan Yunting looked embarrassed, her fair face seemed to have been rubbed with rouge, and the shop waiter also blushed.But he was in business after all, and the person who "eat the overlord's meal" was a gorgeously dressed young lady. Looking at the jasper and precious stones on her jewelry, he didn't know if it was real.But even if you are eating a Bawang meal, you don't just order a plate of fried peanuts, and you haven't moved your chopsticks yet.

Ruan Yunting sighed, and just about to take off the earrings to pay the bill, she saw Jun Lanzhou leaning against the door frame with a smile on her shoulders.

"Lan Zhou?"

Jun Lanzhou came up to him, took out a small piece of broken silver from his pocket and threw it to the shop waiter, saying, "Fry two more side dishes and two bowls of rice for my grandfather." She took a seat in Dai Ming's place just now.

The waiter in the shop got the money, and happily went down to prepare to eat.

Ruan Yunting leaned forward, folded her hands on the table, "Why are you here? Could it be that you followed all the way?"

"No, I just passed by here and wanted to come in for a meal." Jun Lan took out two pieces of bamboo chopsticks from the chopsticks basket, handed one pair to Ruan Yunting, and stretched her neck to look behind her, "Why don't you come, I'm hungry. "

How can there be such a coincidence.Don't worry, just talk about it.Ruan Yunting smiled, took the rough pottery cup, poured two cups of tea after rinsing it with tea, pushed one cup in front of Jun Lanzhou, and followed his words: "Why didn't you use breakfast? The Huitong Hall will not treat you so harshly. you?"

"Today's breakfast in Huitong Hall is porridge and a few dishes of side dishes. It tastes good, but I'm not very hungry."

At this time, the shop waiter brought up two dishes and two bowls of rice.The dishes are served on poor-quality stoneware, and the bowls are also large stoneware sea bowls. There are two hills filled with rice. The two dishes, one with mushroom pork belly and roasted radish, and one with assorted diced lotus root, are also very affordable.

Jun Lanzhou took the rice and praised it, and began to feast on it. He was not elegant in eating, his mouth was full, and he seemed to be hungry for a few meals.Ruan Yunting gulped down her saliva looking at the bowl of rice that looked like a small mountain bun. She was too exhausted to finish eating so much.After seeing Jun Lanzhou, he took half a bowl of rice and said dumbfounded, "You're really hungry."

Jun Lanzhou swallowed his food, and smiled: "I'm sorry, I don't eat very well. The habit I developed since childhood is hard to change. Hey, why don't you eat it. This dish is very good."

"Oh." Ruan Yunting held up her chopsticks, turned around and asked the waiter for an empty bowl, set aside some rice, and handed the rest to Jun Lanzhou: "I haven't touched it, eat it if you don't mind."

"What do you dislike?" Jun Lanzhou gave her a blank look, and the mist flowed, which was very pleasing to the eye. If you ignore the scar on his left face...

The two of them chatted occasionally, they used up the rice, Ruan Yunting finished the few mouthfuls of rice, and Jun Lanzhou's two bowls of rice were also cleaned up. Looking at the plate, there was only vegetable soup left.

Putting down the bamboo chopsticks and dipping the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, Ruan Yunting smiled and said, "I can't tell you have such a big appetite."

Jun Lanzhou took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "It's like your Miss Qianjin everywhere, one bite is not enough to feed the cat. Are you still going to school today?"

"If you don't want to go, just go back to the mansion."

"Then I'll take it to you."

"it is good."

The two left the tavern, only to find a small carriage with a blue carport parked in front of the door.The coachman was dozing against the door, while Jun Lanzhou's "Yan Ying" was chained to the side.

After taking care of the carriage, you said he came here by chance?Ruan Yunting didn't say anything, and stepped into the car.Jun Lanzhou rode his horse and followed outside.After walking for about three quarters of an hour, I arrived at Xu Mansion.

"Come in for a cup of tea and go back?" Ruan Yunting sincerely invited.

"Forget it, it's not convenient for you to come to your house. If you want to have tea, go to Guiyun Pavilion another day." Jun Lanzhou originally wanted to say "go to Beigeer's".

Ruan Yunting heard the pause in his tone, she didn't care, said goodbye to him with a smile, and went up the steps.Just after entering the gate of Jingsi Garden, Chanjuan rushed over.

"Girl! You are back!"

"What's the matter? It's in a hurry."

"Concubine Wangui is not well. This morning, the third wife gave me a bowl of snow clams, saying it was for strengthening her body. Unexpectedly, Concubine Wangui started to vomit after a while after eating it. Bai Wei has already gone to ask the imperial physician Yes. The old lady and a few wives have just come to see it, and they are all in a hurry, and they are all in the main hall right now."

"Is there such a thing?!"

Ruan Yunting's heart skipped a beat, and she walked quickly to Xu Xiangwan's bedroom.

The third wife and Xu Xiangwan have never dealt with each other, but the third wife is not stupid enough to directly poison the snow clams!But thinking that she could directly cause Xu Xiangwan to break the tendons in her palm back then, and that her methods of dealing with people were never devious and straightforward, Ruan Yunting had to wonder if the third wife was because she remembered Xu Xiangwan this time. On the day Xiang Wan returned to the mansion, Qiu, who deliberately made things difficult, couldn't hold back and resorted to tricks.

How confused!Xu Xiangwan is now the emperor's favorite concubine, even if the old lady is not angry with her and refuses to listen to her, but after all, she is no longer a folk girl who can be slaughtered by others. If she does so, it is like an ant shaking a big tree and asking for trouble!
The door of the room was pushed open with a creak, but there were no maids and maids waiting in front of the door.

Xu Xiangwan's weak voice came from behind the screen of Duobao Pavilion, "Who?"

"Sister Wan, it's me."

"Ting'er, close the door."

Ruan Yunting asked Chanjuan to stay outside, closed the door as she said, and entered the inner room, but she saw Xu Xiangwan wearing white pajamas sitting at the Eight Immortals table in front of the bed eating bananas, and it was not cut by the servants. Instead of eating a small piece elegantly, he picked up a banana peel and held it up to eat.

Ruan Yunting was dumbfounded, "Sister Wan, you..."

Xu Xiangwan grinned, and pointed to the bunch of bananas on the table: "I just came here as a tribute, try it, it's sweet and delicious."

Ruan Yunting sat beside her and saw that she was in good spirits, her face was only slightly pale, not as serious as Chanjuan said, "Aren't you sick?"

"That's what I did." Xu Xiangwan's eyes were full of ruthlessness: "She hurt me like that, and now I have the ability and opportunity to retaliate, why don't I do it? I'm not a Bodhisattva."

Ruan Yunting took a long breath, "That's right, but can you talk to me about what you are going to do next time? Are you trying to scare me to death?"

Xu Xiangwan blinked playfully, folded her palms together and bowed like a big-headed doll, and the banana peel shook back and forth with her movements: "Okay Tinger, I get it, I won't do it next time."

"Concubine Wangui, the imperial physician has arrived."

Suddenly, Bai Wei's voice came from outside the door, followed by the creaking sound of pushing the door. Xu Xiangwan stuffed the half-eaten bananas to Ruan Yunting, and jumped onto the wingwood-carved pacing bed like flying, As soon as the quilt was covered, Bai Wei ushered in an imperial physician who was over the middle age.

Seeing Ruan Yunting sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals in a daze, holding a half-eaten banana, Bai Wei felt a little unhappy, and said that she was a good sister, and that Miss Ruan was still in the mood to eat snacks when her mother was ill.

Ruan Yunting has always been good at observing words and expressions, and she knew what Bai Wei was thinking when she saw Bai Wei's eyes, so she put down the banana helplessly and gave Xu Xiangwan a stare.

At this moment, Xu Xiangwan was lying sickly on the step, the purple pillow embroidered with dark gold thread made her pale, and her black hair was disheveled, she looked fragile despite the wind and rain.

Bai Wei put down the curtain, covered Ruan Yunting's sight, took the pulse pillow and put it on the edge of the bed, supported Xu Xiangwan's delicate right hand to put it on the pulse pillow, revealing a delicate wrist, and took another flesh-pink pillow. Spagai was on top, and then said: "Mr. Du, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Doctor Du was holding the medicine box and stood at the back with his head bowed. He only dared to step forward when he was ordered. He pulled up his clothes and knelt on the footrest in front of the bed, meditating on the occipital vein.After a while, he knelt down and took two steps back, saying verbally: "Congratulations, empress, happy pulse!"

"What!" Xu Xiangwan sat up suddenly and lifted the bed curtain.She just wanted to use the introduction to deal with the third wife, why did she get a diagnosis of a happy pulse... Yes, her monthly letter has not come for two months, she still thinks it was the last time she was poisoned and ate badly, and she doesn't know what to do Healing, unexpectedly, she was pregnant!

Seeing that the master was in a daze, Bai Wei hurriedly covered the bed curtain, and thanked the imperial physician with a smile. The imperial physician Du went to the outside room, carefully prescribed the anti-abortion prescription, and ordered the accompanying medical boy to go back to the palace to announce the good news.After a while, the old lady, first lady, second wife and third wife got the news and came to congratulate her one after another.

The third wife looked at Xu Xiangwan, and said sarcastically: "I just said, I am reluctant to use a good bowl of snow clam soup, but I gave it to Concubine Wangui, but something went wrong. It wasn't vomiting and diarrhea, but Congratulations!! Fortunately, the imperial physician is highly skilled, otherwise he would have fallen for me?"

Xu Xiangwan leaned on the soft pillow, half-closed his eyes tiredly, and couldn't speak well when he was weak: "I have vomiting and diarrhea, yes, I, what did I do to frame you."

Xu Xiangwan didn't mention Xueha at first, but the third wife brought it up by herself. The old lady cursed inwardly, with a smile on her face, and said respectfully: "Concubine Wangui, calm down, it's all from my family, I want to come to Concubine Gui Weak, and this is the first pregnancy, and in addition to changing the environment and eating improperly, there are also cases of vomiting and diarrhea."

Xu Xiangwan didn't take back the hand held by the old lady, but she didn't say anything nice: "It's because I'm a family that I'm sad. When I returned to Xu's mansion, I thought I was going home, but someone didn't want to see me. I almost ruined one hand before and left it permanently disabled, but now I feel even more involved in eating and drinking. It doesn’t matter if I am alone, but now I am pregnant with the dragon seed, if there is a mistake, it will bring the whole family to the crime ?"

If Xu Xiangwan was really afraid of bringing the whole family to the crime, he wouldn't make such a publicity.The old lady was like a mirror in her heart, but she had to smile along with her face, and the eldest wife and second wife also smoothed things over.The third wife stood behind and snorted contemptuously.

Just at this moment, the little eunuch suddenly heard a sharp voice from outside: "The emperor is here!"

Ruan Yunting was taken aback, then turned around and looked at the door, and saw the emperor wearing a black cloak embroidered with gold thread, with a horsewhip in his hand, striding in.

"May the emperor be blessed and safe!"

The whole room knelt down.Everyone's eyes were full of astonishment, they never thought that the emperor would come in person, and he came so quickly.

The emperor hurriedly said, "Get flat." He casually threw the whip to the eunuch Detai behind him, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Xu Xiangwan was about to get out of bed to salute, but the emperor held his shoulders: "Don't move, let me have a look."

"Your Majesty." Xu Xiangwan's black hair hangs down on her shoulders, and she looks up to the sky without makeup. She is a little less coquettish and more pure than the usual dressed-up woman. In addition, she looks so weak that her phoenix eyes are like mist, and she is shy. He lowered his head and whispered softly, as if brushing the most itchy part of the emperor's heart with a feather.

The emperor was overjoyed, he put his arms around Xu Xiangwan's shoulders and let him lean on his shoulders, and said happily: "Wan'er, you are pregnant with my child, you are pregnant with my child!"

Ruan Yunting and all the wives knew to avoid it, and retreated under Detai's guidance.

From the emperor's hasty arrival, it can be seen how important Xu Xiangwan is in the emperor's heart. The emperor's performance just now is like a pleasant surprise for a new father.

The old lady's heart is heavy, Xu Xiangwan's tricks, such a holy family, even the imperial concubine Xu Ningmeng has never had.Such an emperor is more humane.

The eldest wife felt even more uncomfortable. She originally thought of sending a good one to the palace during the draft to help her daughter keep her favorite, but the emperor accidentally asked Xu Xiangwan, and Xu Xiangwan refused to obey discipline. The purpose of giving the imperial concubine a firm favor was not achieved, and it became a concubine sent into the palace by the Xu family to compete with Zheng Fang's daughter.

The third wife is even more nervous now.Just now Xu Xiangwan was still talking to the old lady about the poison in the snow clam. Now that the emperor is here, will Xu Xiangwan bite him?
As soon as he thought about it, there was a sound of footsteps in the house.Everyone standing in the yard hurriedly bowed their heads and stood still.

The great eunuch Detai opened the door and saw the emperor walking out with Xu Xiangwan in his arms.Xu Xiangwan leaned softly in the emperor's arms with long hair loose, and the cloak that the emperor had just worn was wrapped around his middle coat.

"Your Majesty." The crowd headed by the old lady knelt down again.

The emperor quickly walked towards the gate of the courtyard with Xu Xiangwan in his arms, and said casually: "Mr. Xu Jun, you tried to murder Concubine Wangui by putting medicine in the snow clam. This is an unforgivable crime. I remember that the loyal officials of the Xu family have made outstanding achievements. They are exempted from capital punishment and sentenced to death with a stick." Thirty." After a pause, the emperor turned his head and glanced at the trembling third wife: "Detai."

"The slave is here."

"Look here and give me a hard hit!"

"According to the order!"

After the explanation, the emperor carried Xu Xiangwan in his arms and continued to move forward, followed by the palace guards who came at random.

The old lady led the crowd and said, "Respectfully send off the emperor."

It wasn't until the emperor and his party walked away that they dared to raise their heads.

Detai smiled and helped the old lady up, "Congratulations, Mrs. Xu. Just now the emperor heard the letter, left the papers he was approving, and rode here in person. It can be seen how favored the concubine Wangui is. Noble concubine, now there is another concubine Wangui, the Xu family is in constant favor!"

"Thank you, father-in-law Jinkou." The old lady thanked with a smile, and Han Bin's family took a stack of bank notes and handed them to Detai with both hands.

Detai was not too polite, took it and put it directly into his sleeve pocket, flicked his whisk, and changed his expression: "The emperor's order, Mrs. Mrs. Xu's third wife, Mrs. Jun, will be punished with thirty rods and executed immediately."

"Yes!"

The little eunuch and Xu's family borrowed a stool, and they held the third wife's arm on the stool, and tied her waist and calves with ropes to prevent her from struggling.Two other young eunuchs took the board and stood aside.

The third wife shook her lips, and looked at the old lady begging for help: "My ancestor, save me, thirty boards, I want it, I want my daughter-in-law's life!"

The old lady's heart is very complicated. Although the third wife acts arrogantly and does not use her brain, there are many excessive things in her daily life. She has long wanted to clean her up, but that is only limited to her own hands, but it does not mean that outsiders can be punished. Dispose of it casually.

However, it was the emperor who spoke today, whether it was Xu Xiangwan's instigation or not, by now the third wife would definitely be beaten.

When the old lady was silent, a lot of people had gathered around the gate of the Jingsi Garden, and Xu Chengming and Luo Shimin, who had just returned from the court, also arrived.

Seeing her mother tied up on the bench, Xu Chengming's eyes were red with anxiety, but she didn't think about things herself, and the emperor was kind enough not to kill her, so what could they do?
"Execution!" Detai gave an order, and the eunuch who was in charge of the execution swung the board from left to right and began to beat him.

After only being hit twice, the third wife screamed and passed out.

Everyone couldn't see it, no matter how hard Ruan Yunting was on the third wife, she would be knocked out after looking at her twice at this moment, and one can imagine that there are many kinds of boards, so her face turned pale.

Seeing that the third wife was unconscious, Detai fetched water and poured it on her face.

The third wife woke up faintly, opened her eyes, and another board fell down.After playing six boards like this, the third wife has already been woken up twice.

Xu Chengming was very anxious, if this went on, the third wife would probably confess after finishing thirty boards.Both the eldest wife and the second wife stamped their feet anxiously, but there was nothing they could do.

Just at this moment, a young eunuch ran in and whispered something in Detai's ear.

Hearing this, Detai called the two young eunuchs who were in charge of the torture, and whispered something to them.

When the execution continued, the third wife's screams were still fierce, but the remaining 24 boards only passed out once, which shows how much lighter the boards were than at the beginning.

However, with the six boards at the beginning and the 24 boards that are not light even if the strength is reduced later, the third wife has already lost half of her life.Detai waited for the eunuch to leave.The third wife fainted from her eyes.

The Jingsi Garden was in chaos again.

The fact that the third wife poisoned Concubine Wangui and nearly hurt Long Zhong was widely known in the mansion, and it became more and more outrageous.The old lady got angry and even punished two talkative women to suppress the evil wind.

The third wife was beaten, Xu Chengming and Luo Shimin, Xu Chengshuo and the girls and boys of the third room were of course waiting at the bedside, but Chang's mother, who had been with the third wife for the longest time, passed out.I don't know, she fainted only when she was in a hurry for the master, and a fire came up.But only Chang's mother knows.She was the accomplice who abolished Xu Xiangwan's hand!Even if the third wife is the master, she is an old mother, Xu Xiangwan wants to deal with her, it is really easier than crushing an ant, so is there any way for her to survive!

The third wife had a high fever for two days in a row, and it was very difficult to save her life. Chang's mother was also seriously ill, and often woke up in panic in her sleep. into this.

However, Ruan Yunting guessed one or two, and Chang's mother was afraid that she was bluffed.

Although Xu Xiangwan's move was vicious, it was really very resolute, and for some people, there was no need to show mercy.Every time Ruan Yunting thinks about it, she feels that she still needs to learn a lot from her.

%%%%
Time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month of the 14th year of Qianyuan. After Laba, the footsteps of the New Year were approaching, and the streets and alleys were bustling.Daliang City, covered in silver, is a bit more solemn, but the streets decorated with lights and festoons paint the gray and white world with some bright colors, adding a lot of joy.

A small and exquisite carriage came out slowly from the lengthy passage of the palace, with crisp bells and melodious rhythm of horseshoes.The curtain of the car was half raised, revealing half of a fair face, a pair of clear and big eyes, looking at the few red plum blossoms coming out of the palace wall.

"Girl, you have only recovered for a few days, why did you open the curtain again!" Sensing the cold wind pouring in, Chanjuan pulled down the curtain, pouted and looked at Ruan Yunting reproachfully, "If you Ill, the gentleman will definitely scold the slaves."

Ruan Yunting was wearing a concubine-colored Xiangfei-colored dress with a plain front and a long waist, and a light green cloak over her head. The neckline and hat were inlaid with snow-white fur. It was both warm and beautiful, and her face was white and tender. .

"You know, and you don't know what benefits Lanzhou has given you, but you just look at me like this behind your back."

A few days ago, I just got wind and cold. I was sick and tried to review the additional issue of "Liangcheng Moon" in the twelfth lunar month. As a result, I was seriously ill and had a fever. I didn't go to school for two days. It happened that Jun Lanzhou went to the academy to look for her but didn't Seeing people and hearing the news that she was ill, he came to Xu's house in a hurry, and even came to the Jingsi Garden to see her illness as a master doctor and apprentice, and he gave her a reprimand even when he knew that there was nothing serious. The girl was also reprimanded, but Jun Lanzhou knows how to behave in the world. Later, I didn’t know how to coax Hongdou and Chanjuan. Now these two girls have the same nostrils as Jun Lanzhou. She didn't allow this or that, and she had to eat soup and supplements regularly.

Seeing Ruan Yun like this, Chanjuan said with a smile: "Young Master Jun is right, the girl is not good at taking care of her body, not only you will suffer, but we will also suffer."

Ruan Yunting sighed helplessly, propping her chin with one hand.

Chanjuan has long been used to it, and said: "When the girl is having dinner with Mr. Jun, the servant wants to go to the market."

"What do you want to buy? Ask Mama Zhang to go with you." Mama Zhang is the rough woman who follows the car, and Chanjuan is getting more and more delicate now. There are dragons and snakes in the market, and she is afraid that something will happen to her.

"This is what the servant wants to say. Just now, the servant and Zhang Ma have agreed to go for a walk. It happens that the girl is having dinner with the gentleman, and she doesn't like being disturbed, does she?"

Chanjuan's tone was teasing, and she was already trembling while hiding her mouth and laughing.

Ruan Yunting's face was hot, and she reached out to squeak her: "Okay, are you talking nonsense?"

"The servant girl is telling the truth."

"Stupid!"

……

While the two were laughing, the carriage stopped slowly, and Zhang's mother said respectfully outside: "Girl, Xiaohu Tavern is here."

"En." Ruan Yunting straightened her clothes, and then stepped on the red-painted wooden stool and got off the carriage.
