Chapter 95 Please eat hot pot in the courtyard next door
Gu's and Lian's swallowed their saliva, and Feng's paused, "The matter of feedback is meticulous and trivial. It is not easy to do well, but it is easy to make mistakes. I am old and don't want to work hard, so I want to give this to you. thing…"
Gu and Lian were so nervous that they clenched their hands tightly, their ears pricked up, and they only heard Feng say, "Let the two nieces and daughters-in-law do it for now."
Two people in charge?
Then how to divide it?The two couldn't believe what they heard!
Lian Shi reacted first, and said with a smile: "Auntie, our second wife has been greatly favored by the Marquis Mansion. Now that the Marquis Manor has something to do, we should serve it. My aunt's orders are not respectful to my niece and daughter-in-law! , the niece and daughter-in-law are a little confused, how to divide and manage this? Who is the older and who is the younger? Who will report to whom? Who will take the responsibility if something goes wrong?"
Gu Shi was stunned for a moment before realizing it, then smiled and said: "Yes, auntie, my niece and daughter-in-law are willing to share the worries for my auntie, but at the same time, my niece and daughter-in-law don't quite understand how to share the responsibility, so I ask my auntie for advice."
Feng smiled and said, "It's my fault that I didn't make it clear for you to be confused. In fact, it's like this. After the eldest daughter-in-law suddenly became insane last night, I was not only worried about her condition, but also worried about who would take care of the middle class in this mansion. , The first time I thought of the two nieces and daughters-in-law.
The two nieces and daughters-in-law each have their own strengths, the second niece and daughter-in-law are kind-hearted and sincere, the third niece and daughter-in-law are exquisite, smart and flexible, and both have the qualities that a person in charge of a middle-income family should have. So I came up with the idea of letting the two of you share some time at the same time to see who is more suitable. "
It turned out that they were to compete, and whoever performed well would be in charge temporarily!It seems that Auntie doesn't want to dominate the family, and she wants to let her take over when the sister-in-law recovers!
The eyeballs under Lian's eyelids rolled, and soon he lifted his eyelids, and said with a smile: "I don't know how my aunt wants my nephew and second sister-in-law to share the management. How long will it take? Who will report to during the division?"
Feng said: "It will last for half a month, and I will be in charge for the time being. The second nephew is in charge of the kitchen and storeroom, and the third niece is in charge of the sewing room and laundry room." Feng said, "Do you two have any objections?"
Lian's heart was filled with dissatisfaction, the kitchen and the warehouse were the big ones, the kitchen involved external purchases, the warehouse involved all kinds of human relations, both internally and externally, and the needlework, pulp and laundry were mostly for the people in the house, this aunt was clearly a Partial to the second sister-in-law!
But she thought again, if you do more, you will make more mistakes, and if you have more power, you will have more loopholes and more chances of making mistakes. At that time, you can think of a way to make the second sister-in-law make a mistake. In the end, the power to manage the family will not fall to on your head?
Lian's face quickly burst into a smile, "Auntie's arrangement is very appropriate, and my niece and daughter-in-law have no objections."
Gu felt that she had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and of course she had no objection, her eyes were narrowed into slits with a smile, "My niece and daughter-in-law will follow the arrangements of my aunt."
Lu Xinyan listened to Feng's arrangement with a smile, without saying a word from beginning to end, as if she had no objection to Feng's arrangement, or didn't care about it at all.
After everything was arranged properly, Lu Xinyan and the others bid farewell and left.
Back in the Pomegranate Yard, Lu Xinyan picked up the ledger and flipped through it, then rubbed between her brows with a headache.
Then, as if thinking of something, he summoned Qingtong Baizhi Lu Mama and others, and asked, "Is there a accountant, Mr. Li, in Aniang's village?"
In the original owner's memory, the original owner's mother would occasionally take her to the Zhuangzi, and she had solemnly introduced Mr. Li to the original owner.
However, the original owner was young and had a weird temper, so he didn't take people seriously, so he was not sure if it was the accountant.
Qingtong and Baizhi looked at each other and shook their heads to express their ignorance.
Nanny Lu on the side said: "Miss remembers correctly, when Madam was still alive, she would often go to the Zhuangzi to ask Mr. Li for advice."
It turns out that such a person really exists!Lu Xinyan said: "Let Uncle Tian invite him back tomorrow."
"Why did Miss suddenly invite Mr. Li over?" Nanny Lu asked curiously.
Lu Xinyan said: "Grandmother gave me full control of the dowry, but I feel a headache when I look at the account book. In the past, grandmother checked it herself, so I can't bother grandma anymore, so I need a trustworthy accountant."
"Why did it happen so suddenly?" Nanny Lu was surprised: "Even if it's handing over to Miss, you should teach and teach a little bit. How could you hand it over all at once?"
Lu Xinyan smiled indifferently, "Maybe grandma trusts me, or... grandma wants to test me."
She could guess Feng's thoughts.
She is no longer what she used to be now, she has her own ideas, and Feng knows that it is difficult to control her with her current affection, so she hopes to let her beg her and make her owe more affection through the account book. For her sake, if there is anything in the future, let her see that she will make more concessions.
Lu Xinyan didn't want to speculate and suspect each other with Feng's family, and fight secretly, but obviously, there are some things that cannot be avoided, so there is no need to avoid them!
Nanny Lu seemed to have realized something, "Got it, Miss."
Lu Xinyan changed the subject, "The Third Prince will come over tomorrow, how is the preparation of Madam Cheng's ingredients?"
Nanny Lu replied: "I heard from Nanny Cheng in the morning that the freshest ingredients will be delivered tomorrow morning! As for the soup base, Nanny Cheng has cooked it several times, and we all tried it. It tastes very good , I guarantee that the third prince and the others will be full of praise tomorrow!"
Lu Xinyan nodded, "What about the hot sauce?"
The hot pot this time is mainly to thank Xiao Yichen for saving him. He likes spicy food, and the hot sauce is the key point.
Although he refused, but the third prince and the others came, that guy was always worried that she would seduce the soul of one of them, so Lu Xinyan didn't believe that he would not come!
Nanny Lu said: "Miss, you have to try it yourself, none of us can take spicy food very well."
"Then I'll try the hot sauce, and you all go your own way."
"Yes, ma'am."
In the early morning of the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, the Pomegranate Yard began to get busy.
The chickens and ducks are all delivered and killed immediately. As soon as those chickens and ducks land on the ground, the yard is full of thumping, clucking, clucking, and quacking.
The fish and shrimp were also very vigorous, jumping out of the big wooden barrel from time to time, splashing water everywhere, making Xiao He, who was watching from the sidelines, water all over his face.
"Ah! You fish, you dare to splash water on my face, I will fight with you!" Xiao He was originally elated, but finally became angry and began to compete with the fish in the barrel.
But the fish was very slippery, and it was hard to catch it in his hand, and it was quickly broken free. He didn't let go of his anger, but instead made his body full of water and his hands smell like fish.
Xiao He screamed angrily, "Miss, these fish are bullying me! Come and help me!"
Qingtong and the others stopped their work, looked at Xiao He who was in a panic, and laughed happily, "This lady can't help you! Xiao He, you have to find a way..."
Zhen Guogong Shizi Mansion.
Xiao Yichen, who was dressed in a crescent brocade robe, was processing official documents in the study when he heard the little monkey report, "Master, the third prince, Gongsun Gongzi, and Li Gongzi are here."
again?I came here only once last month, and finally had a day off, why are you here again?
In the past few days, because the legend of Bingyu has spread secretly, wherever Xiao Yichen goes, he will receive a lot of inexplicable and bold eyes, unintentionally scanning his waist and abdomen, although he is afraid of his cold aura and dare not approach him, but that There were whispers and low laughter everywhere, and he was so angry that he almost suffocated internally.
He secretly asked Qi Fei to beat up a few sons and buddies who openly alluded to him in their speech, and then suppressed this matter a little on the bright side, but he knew it well in his heart, and the private rumors were probably getting worse. More and more intense!
Now it is rare to avoid these gossips and gossip quietly, how many people are there again?Especially that Gongsun Mobai, maybe he deliberately came to see his jokes!
Xiao Yichen frowned, and said impatiently: "What did you say?"
"It seems to be Mrs. Hou Shizi of Guangping next door, invite them to eat hot pot!" The little monkey held his breath and whispered.
Lu Xinyan told him not to tell the young master that he was the one who invited him, so the little monkey didn't tell Xiao Yichen about this matter.
Hearing this, Xiao Yichen suddenly felt that his chest was congested for no reason and became even more panicked.
Didn't come to see his jokes, but was invited by the woman next door?
What does that woman want to do?He didn't warn clearly before! ?Now he dared to openly pass through his mansion and invite them to meet in the past! ?
"Master." The little monkey couldn't help reminding, "It's not good for the third prince to wait for a long time."
"Invite them in!" Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth and snorted heavily, "Little monkey, did the neighbor next door say he wanted to treat me to hot pot last time, to thank me for saving my life?"
"Yes, Master." The little monkey dutifully reminded, "But Master, you let me refuse."
Xiao Yichen automatically ignored the last half of his sentence, his glazed eyes were cold, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Little monkey, let's go there together later."
The little monkey opened its mouth wide silently, and thought inwardly: Mrs. Gong Shao is so amazing!It's a godsend!
She said that as long as the third prince and others are invited to come over, his young master will definitely go there!
She really hit it off!
"Little monkey, why are you still staring blankly?" Xiao Yichen opened the study door, the sudden breeze blew the corner of his crescent robe, like blowing away the white clouds in the blue sky, it was so quiet and moving.
The little monkey came back to his senses, "Yes, master."
Before noon, Xiao Yichen and Wu Sheng came to the pomegranate courtyard.
Gongsun Mobai thought about his shrunken purse, and looked at Xiao Yichen's resentment. Xiao Yichen robbed his painting book, but he had no choice but to spend a lot of money to buy a new one, and gave it back to Duo'er.
Qingtong Baizhi and the other two exchanged tacit winks, and after taking a sneak peek at Xiao Yichen, they pursed their lips and smirked where outsiders could not see.
When Lu Xinyan saw the crescent moon, she curled her lips quietly, and the little monkey gave her a thumbs up.
Under the black oilcloth in the courtyard, there is a large shelf made of bamboo and a long yellow wooden table.
On the shelves are rows of small ingredients on plates, a row of meat such as chicken, duck and fish, and two rows of vegetarian dishes such as eggplants, potatoes, and greens.
There are a dozen large white porcelain bowls on the table, each with a small porcelain spoon, each containing chopped green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, tempeh, chili, sesame oil, etc.
At the other end were some small bowls with white jade and blue borders, and several large glass bottles filled with liquids of different colors, such as crimson and orange, with ice floe and a large spoon on top.
The dark red one I drank last time was plum juice.
The others didn't know what it was.
After seeing the ceremony, Wu Sheng asked suspiciously, "Young Madam, what is this?"
"Third prince, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Gongsun, Mr. Li, please sit down first, the bottom of the hot pot will be here soon."
A huanghuali round table in front of several people was specially made, with a hole dug in the middle, and charcoal was placed in it. At this time, a flame burst out from the middle.
As soon as Lu Xinyan finished speaking, Qingtong came over with a big iron basin.
She put the iron basin up, and after a while, the soup in it started to boil.
The iron basin is divided into two in the shape of eight trigrams, one side is white and rich in color, and the other side is bright red and hot.
"Let me demonstrate to you first."
Lu Xinyan walked to the side of the shelf, picked up a small bowl, and according to her own preferences, added different amounts of onions, garlic, vinegar, tempeh, chili, sesame oil, etc. and stirred.
After preparing the seasoning, she took a small plate of fish fillets and poured half of the spicy and non-spicy sides.
When the fish fillet was slightly curled, Lu Xinyan took it out with chopsticks, dipped it in her own seasoning, and put it on the plates of four people.
Immediately put down the chopsticks, waved his plain hand, raised his lips and smiled slightly, "Everyone, please try the taste."
The beautiful and white jade hand drew a graceful arc in the air, like a ray of light, which involuntarily attracted someone's attention from the very beginning.
The hand dropped, the light dissipated, someone gritted his teeth and looked away, and the glazed eyes quickly returned to normal.
Wu Sheng eagerly picked up the chopsticks and put the fish fillet into his mouth.
Delicious and slightly spicy spread from the tip of the tongue, and the aroma of onion and garlic made Wu Sheng's eyes shine.
Seeing his appearance, Gongsun Mobai and Li Yu couldn't wait to raise their chopsticks.
Xiao Yichen picked up the fish fillets on the plate slowly.
Only his is spicy.
different from the three.
Noticing this, for some reason, the corners of Xiao Yichen's lips curled up unconsciously, and suddenly he felt two points of satisfaction in his heart, and he had long forgotten about eating too much spicy food and drinking half a night of tea last time.
As soon as the fish fillet was in his mouth, the familiar yet somewhat different spicy taste immediately hooked Xiao Yichen's stomach.
This time it was very spicy, and it happened to be as spicy as he could accept.
Oh, this woman!Sure enough, he has some skills!
Seeing the astonishment on the faces of Wu Sheng and the others, Lu Xinyan pursed her lips and chuckled, "Everyone can season it according to their own preferences."
"Young madam, I think you tuned well, why don't you help me tune?" Gongsun Mobai's peachy eyes blinked slowly, his handsome and evil expression made people irresistible.
"It's disrespectful." Lu Xinyan smiled back brightly, as if the stars in the sky suddenly burst into dazzling light.
Someone's face couldn't help but darken a bit, and the fists in the sleeve robe began to clenched slowly.
"Young Madam, I want to try it myself." Li Yu laughed.
"I'll try it myself too." After Wu Sheng finished speaking, he rushed to the table with various ingredients.
"Where is Xiao Shizi?" Lu Xinyan's eyes seemed to fall on Xiao Yichen casually, and there was a touching but harmless smile on his lips.
Because of the Bingyu biography, she felt a little guilty in her heart, no matter what, he was her savior.
"Young Madam." Someone said plainly.
Gongsun Mobai seemed to be underestimated, and teased: "Young madam, Yichen is so dull and ignorant of style, that's why he is too old to be called a daughter-in-law. Don't be so fussy with him! Of course, cough cough , or it may be that she has some hidden disease and cannot be called a daughter-in-law..."
"It's as if you said you fell in love with a daughter-in-law." Liuli's eyes automatically darkened by two points, Xiao Yichen's thin lips parted slightly, "If I remember correctly, your mother fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Youdu Yushi's family a few days ago. Miss, I heard that you were rejected! With your appearance and status, Mo Bai, it stands to reason that no one would refuse, but now that you are rejected, is it because people know that you have some kind of shady hidden disease..."
Gongsun Mobai was furious in an instant, he used the content in the drawing book to make fun of Xiao Yichen, but he got ridiculed instead!
"Xiao Yichen, the reason why I was rejected for marriage is clearly that the other party thought I was too beautiful! What did you say... Hidden disease..."
The reason why You Du Yu sent his family to refuse the marriage was that he was too beautiful, and he was afraid that his daughter would not be able to control him!
What the hell?
Is it his fault for being beautiful? !
For this matter, he has already been severely taught by his mother. If the third prince hadn't stepped forward today, he wouldn't be able to get out at all!
What's even more frustrating is that he was born so beautiful, it's obviously his mother's fault who gave birth to him, why did his mother teach him the other way around?
Although he didn't like that young lady, but he was rejected by others, and he was still very depressed.
However, Xiao Yichen didn't mention which pot he didn't open and which pot he lifted, and even hinted that he was rejected for the reason of hurting a man's self-esteem, how could he not be allowed to go berserk!
"What's the matter? Are your bones itchy? Want to practice your hands?" Xiao Yichen cast a sideways glance at him and said calmly.
snort!I don't like you a long time ago, a romantic ghost who discharges everywhere!
Gongsun Mobai took a few quick breaths, and just when Lu Xinyan thought he would respond, he saw Gongsun Mobai quickly take a seat, snorted, with a proud face, "I think you see that I am more beautiful than you, and you are not convinced and want to Take this opportunity to beat me up and make me lose my beauty, so I won't be fooled!"
Xiao Yichen's face sank, and he wanted to seal his mouth with a fist.
Li Yu smoothed things over with an awkward smile, "Young Madam, let's season it."
As soon as the words fell, a gaze as cold as snow fell on him.
Li Yu shuddered, thinking that Xiao Yichen was blaming him for meddling, so he hurriedly got up, tugged on Lu Xinyan's sleeve, and walked towards the seasoning table.
The ice skates whizzed after him, and Li Yu walked faster and faster.
Taking advantage of Wu Sheng's return, Li Yu approached Lu Xinyan quietly, and said shyly, "Young Madam, how is Fourth Miss?"
"same as usual."
"Did you mention me?"
She doesn't know your thoughts, how can she talk about you?Lu Xinyan rolled her eyes speechlessly, "The incense you gave her last time, she gave it to Gong Rou."
"I...I... specially transferred it to her, how could she give it to someone else?" Li Yu asked anxiously.
"Since you gave it to her, it belongs to her. Whoever she likes to give it to is her freedom." Lu Xinyan exposed him mercilessly, "In the eyes of Fourth Aunt, you are just a junior."
"Then I... Should I express my heart to her directly?"
"Your mother agrees?"
Li Yu slumped his shoulders, "I didn't agree."
"Then does your mother know that the person you want to marry is Fourth Gu?"
"do not know."
I dare not say it, I am afraid that his mother will come and make trouble!
Lu Xinyan was speechless, "Then you can figure it out yourself!"
"I...I...I don't want to tell my mother, but I'm afraid that my mother will make trouble if she finds out!" Li Yu hastily defended, "It's not good for Fourth Aunt then."
Lu Xinyan hates this kind of mother boy the most, and her voice turned cold, "Since you can't convince your mother, why don't you let it go!"
"No! I can't ruin the Fourth Girl's reputation and ignore her!"
Fourth Aunt doesn't care about it at all!You are the only one struggling, and you can't figure out why!
Lu Xinyan rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Li Yu blushed, "My grandfather will come back from the front line during the Chinese New Year, and I will ask my grandfather to make the decision for me! My grandfather will agree with my decision!"
"Forgive me! You are the one who wants to marry the fourth aunt, not your grandfather!" Lu Xinyan was a little impatient, "If your grandfather can say the same in your family, today's son of the general's mansion should kill the enemy on the front line, not Wearing incense, eating hot pot leisurely in my small courtyard, thinking twice about whether to marry a woman!"
When Li Yu's father died in battle, his mother, Xiao Dong, was heartbroken. After giving birth to him, she took him as the only sustenance in her life, and she had to take care of everything by herself. Even General Li and Mrs. Li couldn't touch her!
When Li Yu was five years old, General Li took Li Yu out of Dong's courtyard and wanted to teach him martial arts himself!Little Dong knelt at the gate of General Li's couple's courtyard and cried for three days and three nights.
She said that since the death of her husband, her heart has long been ashamed, and she has nothing else to ask for in this life, but for Li Yu to grow old safely, even if nothing is achieved!Otherwise, it would be better to reunite with your husband underground early, than to lose a husband when young, or lose a child when middle-aged!
Old General Li felt sorry for her being a widow at a young age, and was also worried that the Li family's blood would be cut off, so he had to send Li Yu back to Xiao Dong's courtyard in a moment of resignation.
After this soft heart, he never hardened his heart, and every time he wanted to give advice on Li Yu's future, he would always be defeated by Xiao Dong's tears.
Later, Old General Li simply stayed in the frontier, out of sight and out of mind, and tried his best to keep the lintel of the general's mansion during his lifetime.
Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, and Lu Xinyan doesn't want to criticize Xiao Dong's way of raising children. After all, from the perspective of friends, Li Yu has not been raised strictly speaking, except for being too gentle and a little different in her hobbies.
But if you want to marry a wife and have children, you are definitely not a woman's lover!In particular, he should want to marry Gong Jin whose age does not match him. If he can't stand up on his own, can't make decisions about his own affairs, and doesn't have any ability to support his family, it will be an inevitable tragedy for Gong Jin to marry him!
"Young...Young Madam?" Lu Xinyan's blunt words were like a thunderbolt splitting through the haze that Li Yuming knew but dared not face!His face was red and white at times, he was dumbfounded, and soon, the redness spread all over his face, even his neck was red.
This kind of embarrassing expression, in someone's eyes, thought that Li Yu was shy because of the little deer in his heart!At the moment, his eyes darkened, as if covered with ice.
The two of them whispered there for a long time, what did that woman say to make Li Yu, who is so simple and stupid, show such an expression?
The slim and slim figure made Xiao Yichen unconsciously think of the feeling of being hugged in Wuyang Hou's mansion that day, it was soft and fragrant, making people want to move.
At this time, Li Yu, who was standing side by side with her, was also eager to move in his heart?
Xiao Yichen stood up abruptly, Wu Sheng and Gongsun Mobai who were eating well were startled.
"Cousin Xiao, doesn't my concoction suit your taste?" Wu Shengxue landed on Lu Xinyan, dipped the cooked meat and vegetables into small bowls, and distributed them to Gongsun Mobai and Xiao Yichen.
It was the first time he made the flavor himself, Wu Sheng felt that it was extremely delicious, and he ate it with great joy. At this moment Xiao Yichen made a movement, only to find that he had just given him a chopstick, and he hadn't touched a single chopstick.
"I'm going to learn Young Madam's craft, you guys use it first." Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth, and after finishing speaking, he walked directly towards Lu Xinyan and the other two.
"Li Yu, Mobai has something to look for you, and by the way, help me bring the spice that the young lady prepared for him!"
"Ah? Oh." Li Yu recovered from his daze, took the bowl from Lu Xinyan's hand without any doubt, and returned to the hot pot table.
At this time, Lu Xinyan was still grateful to Xiao Yichen, "Xiao Shizi, I would like to express my solemn thanks again for the matter of the Wuyanghou Mansion last time..."
"Mrs. Gong Shao!" Xiao Yichen interrupted her angrily in a low voice, as if the frost had fallen suddenly in June, "You seem to have completely ignored the words of this eldest son! This eldest son has warned you repeatedly, don't tell him again What kind of tricks are the three playing! You are acting like this now, how do you know how to write the word "honesty?"
Most of the gratitude in Lu Xinyan's heart disappeared immediately, she tried to explain, "Xiao Shizi..."
Xiao Yichen's Liuli eyes were as if frozen, cold and hard, "If next time you openly invite the three of them regardless of your shame or status, I will never let you go easily!"
Ah!
Lu Xinyan laughed back angrily, but her voice was as soft as water, "If the concubine wants to invite you, what can Xiao Shizi do? Kill the concubine? But the concubine is the wife of the second-rank marquis mansion, and the grandmother is the first-rank wife. Her old man loves the concubine very much, if something happens to the concubine, the grandmother will definitely uphold justice for the concubine, I am afraid that the noble son will not be able to get away so easily~"
Xiao Yichen's eyes dimmed, and then he evoked an extremely cruel and blood-thirsty smile.
As the most beautiful man in Tianwu Kingdom, he was extremely handsome, but he seldom smiled. Under this smile, like dark clouds parted to reveal a bright and clear sky, handsome and moist, he was extremely beautiful.
Lu Xinyan was slightly absent-minded.
"You're right! It's too much trouble to kill you!" The cold smile on his lips never disappeared, "So if you don't restrain yourself, this son will take the people around you! The first one is you My favorite little girl..."
"You bastard!" Lu Xinyan finally couldn't help changing her color, her eyes opened angrily, and she let the aura of her whole body spread wantonly, and the dangerous aura between her brows was rampant, "If you dare to hurt a hair on them, no matter how far you hide, I will kill you Shredded to pieces!"
The original coldness of the man on the other side suddenly subsided, and he returned to the appearance of an alienated and indifferent hypocrite.
Xiao Yichen brushed off his sleeves and robe, and said slowly: "As long as Young Madam follows what my son said, the people around you will naturally not lose a single hair."
"You..." Lu Xinyan gritted her teeth angrily.
"As for the seasoning, there is Mrs. Lao!" After he saluted like a gentleman, Shi Shiran left, leaving Lu Xinyan so angry that he almost jumped.
After daring to threaten her, send her to do things again?Miss you!
Lu Xinyan's eyes rolled, and she reached out her hand to call for Madam Cheng.
After a while, a night of chili sauce-based seasoning was placed in front of Xiao Yichen, and Lu Xinyan smiled sweetly, "Xiao Shizi, I know you like spicy food, so this is specially made for you."
That smile was obviously beautiful and pure, but it made Xiao Yichen feel as cunning as a fox.
At the same time, Qingtong came over with another big iron basin.
Mother Cheng picked up the original one, and Lu Xinyan explained, "If this hot pot is cooked for a long time, the taste of the soup base will become weaker. If you change the pot at intervals, you can always enjoy the original taste."
As she spoke, she did it herself, poured a plate of pork belly into the spicy side, stirred it a few times, and put it into Xiao Yichen's seasoning bowl, "I can't repay the kindness of Xiao Shizi's life-saving last time, this plate of pork belly Let's talk about it."
Lu Xinyan smiled and put down her chopsticks, "Master Xiao, please!"
Xiao Yichen had a hunch that it was not a good thing, but the meat was taken in front of him, put into the hot pot in front of him, and picked up in front of him!
With so many people present, it is expected that this woman will not dare to poison him to death!
Xiao Yichen lowered his eyes slightly, "Young Madam, you are welcome!"
In her expectant eyes, he picked up a piece of meat and put it into his lips.
Chewing and swallowing, without changing expression, he calmly put down his chopsticks, "Young Madam, Xiao has already received, but the weather is dry recently, so it is better to eat light food and eat less spicy food."
"Your Majesty Xiao, don't need to worry. The bottom of the clear soup pot here is filled with fire-removing medicinal materials. After eating spicy food, drink two bowls of clear soup to ensure that Prince Xiao is healthy!" Lu Xinyan did not wait for Xiao Yichen to refuse, and directly called Come to Xiaohe, "Xiaohe, even though Shizi Xiao didn't save you at that time, if Shizi Xiao didn't go into the water to save people first, I'm afraid you wouldn't be saved so quickly. Today, you will serve Shizi Xiao specially to repay Xiao Shizi. The kindness of the son!"
Xiao He said crisply: "Yes, Miss!"
Lu Xinyan blinked, "By the way, Xiao Shizi likes spicy food."
"Understood, Miss." Xiao He picked up a plate of fish fillets, "Xiao Shizi, I killed this fish with my own hands, why don't you try this first?"
The so-called killing by Xiao He's own hands is that those fish made her clothes wet, and she was so angry that she knocked them out with stones one by one.
As for removing the scales and viscera and cutting them into thin slices, it has nothing to do with her at all.
The girl's pure and clean eyes looked at him without any impurities. Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes nearby, Xiao Yichen suddenly stuck in his throat when he wanted to refuse, "En."
Xiao He happily poured the fish fillets into the spicy side.
Lu Xinyan commanded from the side, "You can pick it up, it's not tender enough when you're old."
Xiao He picked it up and put it into Xiao Yichen's bowl, and looked at him eagerly, "Master Xiao, eat quickly."
That expression is really hard to refuse.
Xiao Yichen held it silently.
Gritting his teeth in his heart: Sure enough, the most poisonous woman's heart!He won't give up until he's hot!
He never expected that that woman would openly replace it with the super hot chili from last time!
Gongsun Mobai looked enviously at Xiao Yichen who was being served, without knowing the pain in his heart at this moment, "Young Madam, why don't you let the girl named Baizhi serve me?"
Lu Xinyan said quietly: "Our family Bai Zhi, but I have never let her serve you, Mr. Gongsun, do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Baizhi has studied medicine since she was a child, and she is quite accomplished in medical skills. She usually likes to touch poisons, poisonous centipedes and the like, so I am worried that if she forgets to wash her hands when serving, or accidentally spills the poison in her sleeve Coming out is really not worth the loss. Gongsun Gongzi, are you right?"
Gongsun Mobai shivered, "Young Madam is very worried! You can cook this hot pot yourself, and you can control the rawness and ripeness by yourself. It's so special!"
"Young madam, this hot pot is so unique, does it have a name?" Wu Sheng asked with his belly full.
"This is called Mandarin Duck Pot!"
"Mandarin duck pot?" Wu Sheng thought for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more appropriate he felt, and he couldn't help laughing, "That's right, mandarin ducks, one white and one red, leaning on each other without interfering with each other, isn't it like a couple?" Mandarin duck? Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful!"
Li Yu was so preoccupied with eating, he kept thinking about what Lu Xinyan said just now.
He is not stupid, he knows that she despises him for his incompetence, and is afraid that he will not be able to support Miss Gongsi.
But he didn't want to, but when his mother cried, it's not an exaggeration to see the landslides, the earth crack, and the mountains and rivers change color. He is a son of man and a man, so he can't be disobedient!
But what Lu Xinyan said is right, if he becomes a family in the future, he will be the head of the family, he has to have right and wrong, he can't always follow his mother's wishes, and he can't let the old man worry about him at his age!
Thinking of Old General Li, Li Yu suddenly felt extremely ashamed!
My grandfather is nearly sixty years old, and he suffered many ailments from fighting on the battlefield when he was young. Now that he is old, he should be at home with his grandchildren and caring for his life. Hold on!
Thinking of this, Li Yu's tears were about to flow out.
Gongsun Mobai noticed his strangeness, "Cousin, what's going on?"
Li Yu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's okay, it's too hot, and I'm choking my eyes."
Gongsun Mobai snorted, but didn't take it to heart.
Xiao Yichen's eyelids twitched.
hot?Have you eaten?
What I eat now is called spicy!
"Xiao He," the melodious and life-threatening voice sounded cheerfully, "Don't just let Prince Xiao eat meat, help him boil some vegetables!"
The green vegetables are delicious, not only spicy, but also with chili water, it must be more exciting!
"Yes, miss!"
Xiao He obediently poured a small dish of cabbage leaves into the spicy soup base.
After several times of teaching by Lu Xinyan, she is now very experienced, and picked up the cabbage in two or three strokes, "Xiao Shizi, try the cabbage that Xiao He cooked for you."
Look at the peppercorns on the cabbage leaves, Xiao Yichen's whole face is full of resistance, "Miss Xiaohe, Xiao is full."
Xiao He looked at Lu Xinyan aggrievedly, Lu Xinyan winked at the little monkey, Xiao He understood, and immediately shifted her pitiful eyes to the little monkey.
The little monkey couldn't bear the aggrieved look in his clear eyes, "Master, you usually eat much more than this."
Xiao Yichen was so angry that he would eat the guy who cheated inside and out!Waiting for Grandpa to go back and clean you up!
The conscience of heaven and earth, the little monkey didn't know that Lu Xinyan had changed the pepper. In his memory, Lu Xinyan told her that the pepper in the barbecue last time was gone, and now the pepper is hot enough for ordinary people.
He simply thought that his young master was too embarrassed to eat too much!
"Xiao Shizi, is it that Xiao He's hot food is not tasty, Xiao He will help you re-burn it." Xiao He bit her lip, with a pitiful face of being bullied.
Who can refuse that delicate and innocent little pitiful appearance in front of everyone?
The corners of Xiao Yichen's mouth twitched, the veins on his forehead twitched, and he silently picked up the chopsticks.
Lu Xinyan laughed secretly and cramped: Mr. Xiao, didn't you want to trouble the people around me?Then let you experience it first, so that you can weigh it when you want to make trouble in the future!
This little girl, Xiao He, begged for someone, and even she couldn't refuse, let alone you, a big man, in public, do you have the nerve to refuse?
When Xiao Yichen realized that Lu Xinyan was using a man's face-saving nature to deal with him, he had already had a bad stomach because of eating too much spicy food, and he had diarrhea for two days and two nights!
As for the bottom of the clear soup pot that was removed from the fire, of course he didn't have a share!
"Young Madam, I came here today not only to eat hot pot, but also to bring good news!" Wu Sheng took out a bronzing and fragrant invitation from his sleeve.
Lu Xinyan took it and unfolded it, "Hua Yi Ji?"
The last time in the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion, Princess Changping Wu Wan once mentioned it after she and Shen Yuyan had finished exchanging ideas.
It is said that the Huayi Sacrifice is a feast of costumes held in memory of the first empress who was born in the Sijianfang. It lasts for two days on the ninth day of September every year.
There are two types of participants, one is self-registration, and the ranking is obtained through the divisional competitions held by local governments. On the eighth day of September, there will be a rematch at Lanying Royal Villa in the capital, and the top five will enter the final.
The other is directly invited by the royal family, a total of five people.
The invitees are all well-known clothing design and production experts from all over the Tianwu Kingdom, as well as the ladies who are talented in clothing design in Beijing and China.
The ten finalists will compete in the final on the ninth day of September. The referees are three concubines, seven first-class wives, and a think tank composed of twenty famous princes.
Finally, the top three contestants can enter the palace to show the clothes they designed in front of the queen mother and queen, and if they are lucky, they can also see the beauty of the sky.
It is said that the winners of the Huayi Festival have a very smooth marriage path, either entering the palace to become a concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine, or concubine, or marrying into the family of the emperor's relatives and first-class dignitaries.
Let’s not talk about it, let’s just say that the queen mother in the palace was the one who made a big splash at the Huayi Sacrifice back then, but was favored by the previous emperor and made a concubine. Empress dowager!
At the Huayi Festival three years ago, Lu Xinyan's mother passed away less than half a year ago, so she couldn't go to watch it.
Six years ago, her mother originally wanted to take her to watch, but suddenly her condition worsened and she failed to get her wish.
The memory in Lu Xinyan's mind now stays on the picture that the original owner saw nine years ago when he was seven years old.
At that time, I was young, small, and the quality of the uncle's house was not high. I saw a few times from the main stage, only saw a lot of beautiful colors, heard a lot of praise and applause, and knew nothing about the rest.
But thinking about it with her current brain, she probably understood that it was a fashion show similar to modern times.
Wu Sheng coughed lightly, "The chief referee for the Huayi Festival this time is Concubine Kong Shu. Originally, the postings of the five direct invitees had already been sent out early in the morning. It was the third sister who begged Concubine Kong Shu to say that you are quite talented in this area." , specially asked for one for you, knowing that I know you, and specially entrusted me to hand it over to you."
Princess Changping Wu Wan?Asked for it?I want to see her make a fool of myself!
It seems that last time she won consecutively against her two friends, Shen Yuyan and Wen Ruxiang, she really took it to heart!
Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "Third Prince, please take care of Princess Changping in the future."
If it wasn't for Wu Sheng's sudden appearance last time, she wouldn't have competed with Shen Yuyan, and she wouldn't have let Wu Wan hold grudges against her!
Wu Sheng took a special look at Xiao Yichen, "Young Madam, you don't need to worry, as long as you don't touch the bottom line that Sanhuangmei can't touch, I will take care of the rest, so I can guarantee you no worries!"
Lu Xinyan understood, "Hehe, it's only natural! Thank you, Third Prince, for your guidance."
The two opened their eyes to play riddles, completely ignoring Xiao Yichen's darkened face, and interrupted them very unkindly, "Madam Gong, the river is shallow, don't accidentally fall, you will be covered in mud."
Lu Xinyan pouted secretly, she was threatening her with the incident that she pushed Gong Rou into the river last time!
Wu Sheng and the others were at a loss, "Why is the water shallow and why is it covered in mud?"
Lu Xinyan smirked, "Xiao Shizi is asking if I am in any physical condition after I fell into the water last time? Thank you Xiao Shizi for your concern, everything is fine."
"Cousin Xiao is still careful." Wu Sheng's young face was rather embarrassed, he ate other people's food, drank other people's food, and used others to save face, but he didn't ask if he was healthy! "Young Madam, let's not bother you anymore, take your leave."
After several people left, Wu Sheng suddenly remembered something, why the collapsed wall hadn't been built after 20 days?
Then there was a full belch, and the delicious feeling just now revived instantly.
Wu Sheng felt that it was better not to build the wall properly, otherwise where would he eat such delicious food in the future?
He is an imposing third prince, he can't climb the wall, can he?
So Wu Sheng completely put this question behind him.
Xiao Yichen returned to Shizi's Mansion, while the little monkey stayed in the Pomegranate Court.
Just now, he could only watch a few people eat, but now it was finally his turn.
Qingtong replaced the pot with a clean pot bottom, Madam Cheng and the others put clean bowls and chopsticks, and everyone gathered around to eat steaming hot.
The pomegranate yard soon filled with joy and laughter, but the Shizi's mansion was deserted.
Xiao Yichen loves tranquility and loves tranquility, in the past he didn't feel deserted, but today he felt that the laughter in the courtyard next door was extremely ear-piercing.
Even though it was so far away, he could hear it clearly.
In particular, a certain melodious, crisp, sly and insolent laugh stood out from the crowd and fell straight into his heart.
If there is fire in the chest and abdomen, it is hot and hot, and the lips and tongue have long since lost consciousness, and I only hope that there is something that can relieve the spicy taste.
But there seems to be nothing to solve.
Accompanied by that laughter, Xiao Yichen felt extremely irritable in his heart, and he really couldn't find a better way except to pour cold water.
After a while, severe pain came from the abdomen, either from eating too much spicy food, or from drinking too much cold water.
He rushed to the latrine, wishing in his heart to tear that hateful woman who brought him here to pieces!
-
At night, when Nanny Lu brought Lu Xinyan bath water, she casually said, "There are a few good-looking maids in the mansion tonight."
These hands and feet are very fast!Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Whose idea?"
"Third lady."
Lien?Lu Xinyan's beautiful eyes sparkled, and there was a faint smile on her lips, "The third cousin's intention is too obvious."
The next day when I went to Fushou Yuan to say hello, Lu Xinyan had just stepped in when she heard Lian's smile and said: "Don't think too much, auntie, my niece and daughter-in-law are just thinking that the sister-in-law in the hall is going insane. It couldn't be cured either, Aunt Qin was sent to Zhuangzi again, Bingqiao was sick and sent away, Master Hou always needs someone to take care of him, so he tried to find some caring maids.
I didn't expect the other party to be so quick, so I sent him here last night. It was already late at that time, and my niece and daughter-in-law didn't want to disturb my aunt's rest. Seeing that the person really liked me, I stayed for now, and my niece and daughter-in-law brought it to me later. Look at the aunt, if the aunt doesn't like it, the niece and daughter-in-law will send him away immediately. "
After Bingqiao gave birth, she left. Feng claimed that she was seriously ill, and she was afraid of offending Lord Hou, so she sent her away.
No joy could be seen on Feng's face, and he said lightly: "Since you have left the capital, don't bother any more. It is rumored that outsiders think that our Houfu is acting in reverse! You have considered this matter carefully, and I believe your vision."
Jiang shi dislikes concubines in Gongxuan the most, and now there are four of them here, so Jiang shi must be restless in the Buddhist hall!
Lian smiled even brighter, "Auntie Xie praised me."
Gu Shi was a bit unconvinced, and in the past two days she went to the kitchen and warehouse to check one by one and inquired about the process, while Lian Shi just walked around casually twice a day.
Gu's wholeheartedly thought that she worked hard and was appreciated, but she didn't know that Lian's sword was deviant, waiting for work with ease, and gaining support by currying favor with Gong Xuan!
At that time, two words of approval from Gong Xuan will carry more weight than anything else!At that time, the position of head of the family may fall into Lian's hands.
no!Gu's heart made up her mind, for Mei'er's future, she must get the head of the family.
Seeing Lu Xinyan, Lian greeted her with a smile, "Zhuzhu came to say hello to Auntie, come quickly, Auntie was still talking about you just now."
"Hello second cousin, third cousin." Lu Xinyan asked with a smile, "How is grandma today?"
When Feng Shi saw her, he smiled a little more, "Okay."
Lian Shi said: "Zhuzhu, it's almost autumn, if you need any autumn clothes, tell me in advance, I'll let the sewing room make it for you first!"
"Zhuzhu thanked Third Cousin first."
"My brother and sister are right. It's autumn now and the weather is dry. Auntie, would you like to change the soup tonight to pear and snow fungus soup?" Gu asked.
"Sydney snow fungus nourishes the lungs, it's very good to eat in autumn, the second nephew's daughter-in-law is a good idea!" Feng Shi praised.
Gu Shi was overjoyed, and said again: "If Zhuzhu wants to eat, just mention it to me. You're welcome. I'll let the kitchen be well-organized."
Lu Xinyan's position in Feng's heart is well known, so Gu and Lian tried their best to curry favor.
"Thank you, Second Cousin." Lu Xinyan replied casually, her heart brightened.
After coming out of the Fushouyuan, Lu Xinyan went directly back to the Pomegranate Courtyard. As soon as she returned to the courtyard, she called Qingtong Baizhi and said that she wanted to paint.
"Huahua?" Qingtong's eyes lit up, and she volunteered, "I'll do it!"
Xiao Yichen secretly threatened yesterday, but the anger in Lu Xinyan's heart was still there.
Xiao Yichen was very good at martial arts, and he didn't have much contact with him, so she couldn't do anything to him, so she turned her anger into motivation to paint.
Bai Zhi's ears were reddish, pointing at Qing Tong.
One of the two studied medicine, the other practiced martial arts, and they were no strangers to the structure of the human body.
Lu Xinyan took a brush and brushed, and drew several pictures in one go.
Looking at the miserable state of Pei Ziyu being "tortured" in the picture, she smiled immorally.
Qingtong was very excited when she saw the sinister smile on her lips, rushed up to take a look, and exclaimed, "Wonderful! Wonderful! I want to keep these photos privately!"
In the previous Bingyu Biography, the three o'clock were not revealed, which was rather cryptic. While watching the ecstasy posture made people's blood boil, I always felt that something was missing, which was quite regrettable.
Now in these few photos, the facial expression is also vivid, but the other places are quite different, only the key parts are covered with tulle, and the graceful and powerful body lines are clearly visible.
Bai Zhi was also very satisfied, but she thought more about it, "Miss, do you have any problems with Xiao Shizi?"
When she asked, Qingtong also responded.
Obviously two days ago I said that my hands were tired and I didn’t want to draw. After a hot pot meal yesterday, I suddenly became more interested in drawing today. I drew so many eye-catching and nosebleed... pictures!
"It's wrong, it's not a holiday!" Lu Xinyan's eyes glowed dangerously, "It's a deep hatred!"
"What deep hatred?" Qingtong's eyes lit up, "Do you want me to help you avenge?"
If you take revenge, you can ask for a reward. As for the reward, hehehe...
Qingtong was thinking about something wretched in her heart.
"Can you beat him?" Lu Xinyan squinted at her.
The calculation was wrong!Qingtong lowered her head, "I can't beat it."
He raised his head again in an instant, "Miss, Bai Zhi can prepare poison, I can secretly poison, it is impossible to guard against!"
For some kind of welfare, Qingtong also worked hard.
It stands to reason that Qingtong's idea is quite good, but for some reason, Lu Xinyan frowned secretly.
Although there is a "deep enmity" between her and him, it seems that it hasn't risen to the point where she insists on killing each other!
At most, it would be a tricky trick, such as drawing him into some kind of unsightly painting!
"That's the son of the Duke's Mansion. If something really happened, our entire Marquis Mansion will have to be buried with us!" Lu Xinyan was upright, "And what if the little monkey is injured by mistake? Xiao He will be sad."
What she said was absolutely correct, but Qingtong and Bai Zhi felt that this was not the only reason.
Lu Xinyan didn't give them a chance to ask questions again, so she stretched her waist, "I ate too much yesterday and didn't sleep well at night, so I just took this opportunity to catch up on sleep."
Qingtong Baizhi had no choice but to leave with doubts.
After resting in the afternoon, Lu Xinyan began to polish the new painting. While polishing, she thought in her heart whether she should republish Bingyu Biography.
Only [-] limited editions were released before, and it has already caused a sensation in the public. This time, with the addition of these few limited-edition pictures, I am afraid that the entire capital will be a sensation.
At that time, there will definitely be many people who will associate Xiao Yichen and Pei Ziyu together. After all, the two have similar temperaments and hobbies, as well as the small details of their bodies!
As long as you see the real person and the person in this book, no one will not make this association!Lu Xinyan is very confident about this!
However, although his behavior of threatening to dislike her was very annoying, but no matter what, it was an undeniable fact that he saved her!
Grace, repay it ten times, revenge, repay it ten times.
The two have offset each other, it seems that it is better to leave it to your own people to appreciate in secret for the time being!
After Lu Xinyan made up her mind, she was about to put the newly drawn manuscripts together with the original manuscripts when there was a sudden noise outside.
"What happened outside?" She asked loudly while closing.
It was Yue Yue who came in, "Miss, the prince is here."
Prince?Xiao Yichen?Just thought of him and he came?
Lu Xinyan blinked and realized instantly that this son is not that son.
She frowned and asked, "What is he doing here?"
The last time I came here was to demonstrate with Cui Yingluan, what do I want to do this time?
Could it be that he wants to vent his anger on Jiang and scold her?
If he dared to open his mouth to curse, Lu Xinyan would definitely throw him out without hesitation!
"The prince said that he came...he came..." Lueyue suddenly blushed, "He came to consummate the house with Miss..."
"What?" Lu Xinyan suspected that she had misheard.
At this time, a slightly drunk man's voice sounded, "Lu Xinyan! My son is here, why don't you come out to greet him?"
Lu Xinyan heheed twice, and opened the door as she said.
She would like to see what the guy who treats herself like an onion wants to do?
The door opened, and there was a beautiful plain-clothed woman standing there, her silky hair and the corners of her gown moved automatically without wind, forming a natural beauty of her own.
Miyata Yu was stunned, no matter what, he had to recognize his own wife who was favored by him, she was indeed extremely beautiful!
With this thought, the mentality of being at a disadvantage has been balanced a lot.
What's more, there is a beauty like Shu Yun...
Not only that, out of the corner of Miyata Yu's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Lueyue standing behind Lu Xinyan with his head bowed, his naturally shy posture like a little white rabbit instantly seduced Miyata Yu's soul.
Not bad!Among other things, Miyata Yu thinks that Lu Xinyan should forgive her a little bit if she has the eyes of two beauties!
He said brazenly: "Lu Xinyan, my son will come to consummate the house with you tonight, as you wish, and make you the legitimate mistress of the Guangping Marquis Mansion!"
Lu Xinyan chuckled, "Yo, I have wronged the prince, but does the prince still remember the vows he made?"
"This son is a man who promises everything, how can he not remember? I just don't want to be as knowledgeable as a little woman like you." Miyata Yu put on a high-ranking posture, "Also, after this son consummates the marriage with you, you must Say a few good words for your mother in front of the grandmother, so that the grandmother will release your mother as soon as possible! If you are filial and generous in the future, this son will favor you, let you give birth to a boy and a half girl, and secure the position of wife of this son!"
Lu Xinyan couldn't help laughing out loud at the dignified and condescending look, "Hahaha..."
Miyata Yu's proud expression was gradually replaced by annoyance, "Lu Xinyan, you don't show your teeth when you smile, why are you smiling like this?"
"Yes...I'm sorry, it's not me who wants to laugh, it's you...you are so funny, I can't help it! Hahaha..."
"Lu Xinyan!" Gong Tianyu became furious, "I finally decided to forgive you for your rudeness and rudeness in the past. How dare you laugh at me? Tonight is your last chance. You should think about it clearly." !"
"Thank you son for the opportunity." Lu Xinyan straightened up, tears came out of the corners of her eyes from laughing so hard, her whole face was flushed with blush, and she became more and more charming.
She smiled sweetly, and in Miyata Yu's lost soul, she closed the door heavily, "But I thank you very much! Don't have such an opportunity in the future, I have a heart disease, and I can't stand being scared!"
Miyata Yu stared blankly at the closed door, unable to react.
"Qingtong, send him away! If he dares to say anything unpleasant, throw it out immediately!"
"Yes, miss!"
Miyata Yu finally came to his senses when there was a burning pain in his arm, "Lu Xinyan! You are so ignorant? Don't think I dare not divorce you..."
"boom!"
"Lu Xinyan! How dare you let someone throw me away!?..." The courtyard door closed, roaring in disbelief and being cut off from the outside.
On the second night, Uncle Tian brought back a person in a hurry.
Mr. Li, the accountant on Zhuangzi.
His full name is Li Xiaotian, and everyone calls him Mr. Li.
About forty, with pale skin, tall and thin, wearing a green shirt and long robe, as proud as a bamboo, quite a bit of a celebrity.
The appearance looks like a scholar, but when he looked at Lu Xinyan sharply with scrutiny, Lu Xinyan smiled, what kind of scholar is clearly a businessman!A savvy tradesman up for grabs!
If she doesn't suit him and doesn't fall into his eyes, I'm afraid he will find a reason that you can't refuse at any time, and even make you feel uneasy in turn, and leave with his hands.
"Zhuzhu met Mr. Li!" Lu Xinyan saluted generously, looking at him with neither humble nor overbearing eyes, neither avoiding nor giving in.
Strictly speaking, this is the first meeting between them.
When the original owner met him, he was too young, and after seeing him in a hurry, neither of them left a deep impression.
A few days ago, the original owner was sent to the countryside. After Lu Xinyan came to this ancient time, she stayed there for more than 20 days. First, there was no need to meet each other. Second, Lu Xinyan didn't think of this person at all, so this time, it was two people. A real meeting.
Lu Xinyan was six points satisfied with Mr. Li first.
Three points are satisfied with his natural shrewdness.
The two points are that he did not judge her lightly based on hearsay, but came to confirm in person whether she was worthy of his following and service.
There is still one point, but it is because he is different from Bai Zhiqingtong's stupid loyalty!
It seems to be unfair to Qingtong Baizhi and the other two!
Is there anyone who doesn't like others to be true to themselves?
Indeed not!
It's just that Lu Xinyan traveled to this ancient time as a modern person, and although she was happy with the situation, she always kept the sobriety of an outsider in her heart!
When she uses these two points of sobriety to judge Qingtong Baizhi's actions, she will give birth to a point of disapproval!
If she was still the Lu Xinyan she used to be, with a gloomy and irritable personality, who listened and believed, their attitude of not asking why and only implementing, would probably become her accomplices in crimes, and thus put themselves in a desperate situation!
But now Mr. Li's scrutiny, obeying his master within the scope of his own principles, this kind of self-awareness character, makes Lu Xinyan, who is a modern person, appreciate it even more!
The sharpness in Mr. Li's eyes slowly dissipated, and he gradually changed into a satisfied expression. He bowed his hands, "I've seen Miss!"
It seems that the first hurdle has passed, Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "Mr. Li has been working hard for the past two days, please go down and rest first, I will send someone to deliver the account book tomorrow."
Then he turned to Uncle Tian and said, "Thank you, Uncle Tian! Luaoyue, send Uncle Tian off for me!"
Uncle Tian's eyelids twitched.
He didn't forget that she asked him last time, which type of combing the moon would he prefer, so that she could play the joke of helping him find a wife!
Lueyue was suddenly called upon, and Rou Rou stood up in a daze, "Mr. Li, Mr. Tian, please!"
Mr. Li smiled and cupped his hands: "Miss Lao Piaoyue."
Uncle Tian was expressionless.
Tonight is the twelfth day, the moon is very bright, and the pure moonlight shrouds the entire Quang Binh Marquis Mansion.
Sleeping in the middle of the night, when everything was silent, there was a sudden sound of slight, hurried and noisy footsteps, followed by a piercing scream, followed by howling, and the masters and servants of the entire Guangping Marquis Mansion were shocked. , all woke up.
Feng Shi was a light sleeper, she finally fell asleep and was woken up again, feeling very unhappy, seeing Nanny Sun coming in through the curtain, she frowned and said, "A Ying, go and see what happened in the middle of the night, why is she crazy?"
The woman Feng Shi spoke of was Jiang Shi who was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall.
The scream just now came from Jiang's mouth, and he is still crying until now, as if he has encountered something extremely sad and heart-wrenching, and he is crying heartbreakingly!
Lu Xinyan was also woken up, "Nurse Lu, go and have a look."
A quarter of an hour later, Nanny Lu came back with a very bad complexion.
"Nurse Lu, what happened in the Buddhist hall?"
"No major incident happened in the Buddhist hall, except that the incense candle altar was overturned by Madam." Madam Lu said, "Madam's natal uncle and young master passed away."
"Madam's younger brother is dead?" Lu Xinyan asked in shock.
"Madam's natal family sent someone to report the news. Uncle Fu didn't dare to delay, so he took someone to see Madam. When Madam heard this, she fainted on the spot, and when she woke up, she screamed and cried bitterly!"
"What was the cause of death? I remember that Young Master Jiang was only 22."
Nanny Lu said: "The person who reported the letter said that my uncle was drunk with his colleagues tonight, and he stumbled and fell into the river on the way back. Later, he was found on the surface of the water. The person happened to know the young master, so he sent the body to Jiangfu to leave. gone."
Nanny Lu sighed, "It's such a pity for someone so young to leave his wife and three-year-old daughter behind."
She looked at Lu Xinyan's expression, saw that she seemed to be in a trance, and said nothing, "It's only been quiet for a few days, I'm afraid there will be no peace soon."
Jiang Huai, the only direct brother of the Jiang family, has died, and the Jiang family will definitely be released to return to the manor to help prepare for the funeral. This time, this release coincides with the pain of bereavement, coupled with Feng's selfishness, it is very likely that he will not be imprisoned in the Buddhist hall again. .
After the Jiang family regains their freedom, they are afraid that they will intensify their efforts to deal with Lu Xinyan and seize her dowry!
Regardless of whether Lu Xinyan took the initiative to attack or passively responded to the challenge, there would definitely be no more peaceful days.
Lu Xinyan understood what Nanny Lu was thinking, but she was thinking about something else.
Just after Jiang's crimes were exposed, Jiang Huai died suddenly. This timing is too coincidental!
So was Jianghuai's death accidental or man-made?
A person in the book city asked how many chapters will be updated every day in the future, and the wind and rain replied four times and they were all swallowed.
(End of this chapter)
Gu's and Lian's swallowed their saliva, and Feng's paused, "The matter of feedback is meticulous and trivial. It is not easy to do well, but it is easy to make mistakes. I am old and don't want to work hard, so I want to give this to you. thing…"
Gu and Lian were so nervous that they clenched their hands tightly, their ears pricked up, and they only heard Feng say, "Let the two nieces and daughters-in-law do it for now."
Two people in charge?
Then how to divide it?The two couldn't believe what they heard!
Lian Shi reacted first, and said with a smile: "Auntie, our second wife has been greatly favored by the Marquis Mansion. Now that the Marquis Manor has something to do, we should serve it. My aunt's orders are not respectful to my niece and daughter-in-law! , the niece and daughter-in-law are a little confused, how to divide and manage this? Who is the older and who is the younger? Who will report to whom? Who will take the responsibility if something goes wrong?"
Gu Shi was stunned for a moment before realizing it, then smiled and said: "Yes, auntie, my niece and daughter-in-law are willing to share the worries for my auntie, but at the same time, my niece and daughter-in-law don't quite understand how to share the responsibility, so I ask my auntie for advice."
Feng smiled and said, "It's my fault that I didn't make it clear for you to be confused. In fact, it's like this. After the eldest daughter-in-law suddenly became insane last night, I was not only worried about her condition, but also worried about who would take care of the middle class in this mansion. , The first time I thought of the two nieces and daughters-in-law.
The two nieces and daughters-in-law each have their own strengths, the second niece and daughter-in-law are kind-hearted and sincere, the third niece and daughter-in-law are exquisite, smart and flexible, and both have the qualities that a person in charge of a middle-income family should have. So I came up with the idea of letting the two of you share some time at the same time to see who is more suitable. "
It turned out that they were to compete, and whoever performed well would be in charge temporarily!It seems that Auntie doesn't want to dominate the family, and she wants to let her take over when the sister-in-law recovers!
The eyeballs under Lian's eyelids rolled, and soon he lifted his eyelids, and said with a smile: "I don't know how my aunt wants my nephew and second sister-in-law to share the management. How long will it take? Who will report to during the division?"
Feng said: "It will last for half a month, and I will be in charge for the time being. The second nephew is in charge of the kitchen and storeroom, and the third niece is in charge of the sewing room and laundry room." Feng said, "Do you two have any objections?"
Lian's heart was filled with dissatisfaction, the kitchen and the warehouse were the big ones, the kitchen involved external purchases, the warehouse involved all kinds of human relations, both internally and externally, and the needlework, pulp and laundry were mostly for the people in the house, this aunt was clearly a Partial to the second sister-in-law!
But she thought again, if you do more, you will make more mistakes, and if you have more power, you will have more loopholes and more chances of making mistakes. At that time, you can think of a way to make the second sister-in-law make a mistake. In the end, the power to manage the family will not fall to on your head?
Lian's face quickly burst into a smile, "Auntie's arrangement is very appropriate, and my niece and daughter-in-law have no objections."
Gu felt that she had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and of course she had no objection, her eyes were narrowed into slits with a smile, "My niece and daughter-in-law will follow the arrangements of my aunt."
Lu Xinyan listened to Feng's arrangement with a smile, without saying a word from beginning to end, as if she had no objection to Feng's arrangement, or didn't care about it at all.
After everything was arranged properly, Lu Xinyan and the others bid farewell and left.
Back in the Pomegranate Yard, Lu Xinyan picked up the ledger and flipped through it, then rubbed between her brows with a headache.
Then, as if thinking of something, he summoned Qingtong Baizhi Lu Mama and others, and asked, "Is there a accountant, Mr. Li, in Aniang's village?"
In the original owner's memory, the original owner's mother would occasionally take her to the Zhuangzi, and she had solemnly introduced Mr. Li to the original owner.
However, the original owner was young and had a weird temper, so he didn't take people seriously, so he was not sure if it was the accountant.
Qingtong and Baizhi looked at each other and shook their heads to express their ignorance.
Nanny Lu on the side said: "Miss remembers correctly, when Madam was still alive, she would often go to the Zhuangzi to ask Mr. Li for advice."
It turns out that such a person really exists!Lu Xinyan said: "Let Uncle Tian invite him back tomorrow."
"Why did Miss suddenly invite Mr. Li over?" Nanny Lu asked curiously.
Lu Xinyan said: "Grandmother gave me full control of the dowry, but I feel a headache when I look at the account book. In the past, grandmother checked it herself, so I can't bother grandma anymore, so I need a trustworthy accountant."
"Why did it happen so suddenly?" Nanny Lu was surprised: "Even if it's handing over to Miss, you should teach and teach a little bit. How could you hand it over all at once?"
Lu Xinyan smiled indifferently, "Maybe grandma trusts me, or... grandma wants to test me."
She could guess Feng's thoughts.
She is no longer what she used to be now, she has her own ideas, and Feng knows that it is difficult to control her with her current affection, so she hopes to let her beg her and make her owe more affection through the account book. For her sake, if there is anything in the future, let her see that she will make more concessions.
Lu Xinyan didn't want to speculate and suspect each other with Feng's family, and fight secretly, but obviously, there are some things that cannot be avoided, so there is no need to avoid them!
Nanny Lu seemed to have realized something, "Got it, Miss."
Lu Xinyan changed the subject, "The Third Prince will come over tomorrow, how is the preparation of Madam Cheng's ingredients?"
Nanny Lu replied: "I heard from Nanny Cheng in the morning that the freshest ingredients will be delivered tomorrow morning! As for the soup base, Nanny Cheng has cooked it several times, and we all tried it. It tastes very good , I guarantee that the third prince and the others will be full of praise tomorrow!"
Lu Xinyan nodded, "What about the hot sauce?"
The hot pot this time is mainly to thank Xiao Yichen for saving him. He likes spicy food, and the hot sauce is the key point.
Although he refused, but the third prince and the others came, that guy was always worried that she would seduce the soul of one of them, so Lu Xinyan didn't believe that he would not come!
Nanny Lu said: "Miss, you have to try it yourself, none of us can take spicy food very well."
"Then I'll try the hot sauce, and you all go your own way."
"Yes, ma'am."
In the early morning of the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, the Pomegranate Yard began to get busy.
The chickens and ducks are all delivered and killed immediately. As soon as those chickens and ducks land on the ground, the yard is full of thumping, clucking, clucking, and quacking.
The fish and shrimp were also very vigorous, jumping out of the big wooden barrel from time to time, splashing water everywhere, making Xiao He, who was watching from the sidelines, water all over his face.
"Ah! You fish, you dare to splash water on my face, I will fight with you!" Xiao He was originally elated, but finally became angry and began to compete with the fish in the barrel.
But the fish was very slippery, and it was hard to catch it in his hand, and it was quickly broken free. He didn't let go of his anger, but instead made his body full of water and his hands smell like fish.
Xiao He screamed angrily, "Miss, these fish are bullying me! Come and help me!"
Qingtong and the others stopped their work, looked at Xiao He who was in a panic, and laughed happily, "This lady can't help you! Xiao He, you have to find a way..."
Zhen Guogong Shizi Mansion.
Xiao Yichen, who was dressed in a crescent brocade robe, was processing official documents in the study when he heard the little monkey report, "Master, the third prince, Gongsun Gongzi, and Li Gongzi are here."
again?I came here only once last month, and finally had a day off, why are you here again?
In the past few days, because the legend of Bingyu has spread secretly, wherever Xiao Yichen goes, he will receive a lot of inexplicable and bold eyes, unintentionally scanning his waist and abdomen, although he is afraid of his cold aura and dare not approach him, but that There were whispers and low laughter everywhere, and he was so angry that he almost suffocated internally.
He secretly asked Qi Fei to beat up a few sons and buddies who openly alluded to him in their speech, and then suppressed this matter a little on the bright side, but he knew it well in his heart, and the private rumors were probably getting worse. More and more intense!
Now it is rare to avoid these gossips and gossip quietly, how many people are there again?Especially that Gongsun Mobai, maybe he deliberately came to see his jokes!
Xiao Yichen frowned, and said impatiently: "What did you say?"
"It seems to be Mrs. Hou Shizi of Guangping next door, invite them to eat hot pot!" The little monkey held his breath and whispered.
Lu Xinyan told him not to tell the young master that he was the one who invited him, so the little monkey didn't tell Xiao Yichen about this matter.
Hearing this, Xiao Yichen suddenly felt that his chest was congested for no reason and became even more panicked.
Didn't come to see his jokes, but was invited by the woman next door?
What does that woman want to do?He didn't warn clearly before! ?Now he dared to openly pass through his mansion and invite them to meet in the past! ?
"Master." The little monkey couldn't help reminding, "It's not good for the third prince to wait for a long time."
"Invite them in!" Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth and snorted heavily, "Little monkey, did the neighbor next door say he wanted to treat me to hot pot last time, to thank me for saving my life?"
"Yes, Master." The little monkey dutifully reminded, "But Master, you let me refuse."
Xiao Yichen automatically ignored the last half of his sentence, his glazed eyes were cold, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Little monkey, let's go there together later."
The little monkey opened its mouth wide silently, and thought inwardly: Mrs. Gong Shao is so amazing!It's a godsend!
She said that as long as the third prince and others are invited to come over, his young master will definitely go there!
She really hit it off!
"Little monkey, why are you still staring blankly?" Xiao Yichen opened the study door, the sudden breeze blew the corner of his crescent robe, like blowing away the white clouds in the blue sky, it was so quiet and moving.
The little monkey came back to his senses, "Yes, master."
Before noon, Xiao Yichen and Wu Sheng came to the pomegranate courtyard.
Gongsun Mobai thought about his shrunken purse, and looked at Xiao Yichen's resentment. Xiao Yichen robbed his painting book, but he had no choice but to spend a lot of money to buy a new one, and gave it back to Duo'er.
Qingtong Baizhi and the other two exchanged tacit winks, and after taking a sneak peek at Xiao Yichen, they pursed their lips and smirked where outsiders could not see.
When Lu Xinyan saw the crescent moon, she curled her lips quietly, and the little monkey gave her a thumbs up.
Under the black oilcloth in the courtyard, there is a large shelf made of bamboo and a long yellow wooden table.
On the shelves are rows of small ingredients on plates, a row of meat such as chicken, duck and fish, and two rows of vegetarian dishes such as eggplants, potatoes, and greens.
There are a dozen large white porcelain bowls on the table, each with a small porcelain spoon, each containing chopped green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, tempeh, chili, sesame oil, etc.
At the other end were some small bowls with white jade and blue borders, and several large glass bottles filled with liquids of different colors, such as crimson and orange, with ice floe and a large spoon on top.
The dark red one I drank last time was plum juice.
The others didn't know what it was.
After seeing the ceremony, Wu Sheng asked suspiciously, "Young Madam, what is this?"
"Third prince, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Gongsun, Mr. Li, please sit down first, the bottom of the hot pot will be here soon."
A huanghuali round table in front of several people was specially made, with a hole dug in the middle, and charcoal was placed in it. At this time, a flame burst out from the middle.
As soon as Lu Xinyan finished speaking, Qingtong came over with a big iron basin.
She put the iron basin up, and after a while, the soup in it started to boil.
The iron basin is divided into two in the shape of eight trigrams, one side is white and rich in color, and the other side is bright red and hot.
"Let me demonstrate to you first."
Lu Xinyan walked to the side of the shelf, picked up a small bowl, and according to her own preferences, added different amounts of onions, garlic, vinegar, tempeh, chili, sesame oil, etc. and stirred.
After preparing the seasoning, she took a small plate of fish fillets and poured half of the spicy and non-spicy sides.
When the fish fillet was slightly curled, Lu Xinyan took it out with chopsticks, dipped it in her own seasoning, and put it on the plates of four people.
Immediately put down the chopsticks, waved his plain hand, raised his lips and smiled slightly, "Everyone, please try the taste."
The beautiful and white jade hand drew a graceful arc in the air, like a ray of light, which involuntarily attracted someone's attention from the very beginning.
The hand dropped, the light dissipated, someone gritted his teeth and looked away, and the glazed eyes quickly returned to normal.
Wu Sheng eagerly picked up the chopsticks and put the fish fillet into his mouth.
Delicious and slightly spicy spread from the tip of the tongue, and the aroma of onion and garlic made Wu Sheng's eyes shine.
Seeing his appearance, Gongsun Mobai and Li Yu couldn't wait to raise their chopsticks.
Xiao Yichen picked up the fish fillets on the plate slowly.
Only his is spicy.
different from the three.
Noticing this, for some reason, the corners of Xiao Yichen's lips curled up unconsciously, and suddenly he felt two points of satisfaction in his heart, and he had long forgotten about eating too much spicy food and drinking half a night of tea last time.
As soon as the fish fillet was in his mouth, the familiar yet somewhat different spicy taste immediately hooked Xiao Yichen's stomach.
This time it was very spicy, and it happened to be as spicy as he could accept.
Oh, this woman!Sure enough, he has some skills!
Seeing the astonishment on the faces of Wu Sheng and the others, Lu Xinyan pursed her lips and chuckled, "Everyone can season it according to their own preferences."
"Young madam, I think you tuned well, why don't you help me tune?" Gongsun Mobai's peachy eyes blinked slowly, his handsome and evil expression made people irresistible.
"It's disrespectful." Lu Xinyan smiled back brightly, as if the stars in the sky suddenly burst into dazzling light.
Someone's face couldn't help but darken a bit, and the fists in the sleeve robe began to clenched slowly.
"Young Madam, I want to try it myself." Li Yu laughed.
"I'll try it myself too." After Wu Sheng finished speaking, he rushed to the table with various ingredients.
"Where is Xiao Shizi?" Lu Xinyan's eyes seemed to fall on Xiao Yichen casually, and there was a touching but harmless smile on his lips.
Because of the Bingyu biography, she felt a little guilty in her heart, no matter what, he was her savior.
"Young Madam." Someone said plainly.
Gongsun Mobai seemed to be underestimated, and teased: "Young madam, Yichen is so dull and ignorant of style, that's why he is too old to be called a daughter-in-law. Don't be so fussy with him! Of course, cough cough , or it may be that she has some hidden disease and cannot be called a daughter-in-law..."
"It's as if you said you fell in love with a daughter-in-law." Liuli's eyes automatically darkened by two points, Xiao Yichen's thin lips parted slightly, "If I remember correctly, your mother fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Youdu Yushi's family a few days ago. Miss, I heard that you were rejected! With your appearance and status, Mo Bai, it stands to reason that no one would refuse, but now that you are rejected, is it because people know that you have some kind of shady hidden disease..."
Gongsun Mobai was furious in an instant, he used the content in the drawing book to make fun of Xiao Yichen, but he got ridiculed instead!
"Xiao Yichen, the reason why I was rejected for marriage is clearly that the other party thought I was too beautiful! What did you say... Hidden disease..."
The reason why You Du Yu sent his family to refuse the marriage was that he was too beautiful, and he was afraid that his daughter would not be able to control him!
What the hell?
Is it his fault for being beautiful? !
For this matter, he has already been severely taught by his mother. If the third prince hadn't stepped forward today, he wouldn't be able to get out at all!
What's even more frustrating is that he was born so beautiful, it's obviously his mother's fault who gave birth to him, why did his mother teach him the other way around?
Although he didn't like that young lady, but he was rejected by others, and he was still very depressed.
However, Xiao Yichen didn't mention which pot he didn't open and which pot he lifted, and even hinted that he was rejected for the reason of hurting a man's self-esteem, how could he not be allowed to go berserk!
"What's the matter? Are your bones itchy? Want to practice your hands?" Xiao Yichen cast a sideways glance at him and said calmly.
snort!I don't like you a long time ago, a romantic ghost who discharges everywhere!
Gongsun Mobai took a few quick breaths, and just when Lu Xinyan thought he would respond, he saw Gongsun Mobai quickly take a seat, snorted, with a proud face, "I think you see that I am more beautiful than you, and you are not convinced and want to Take this opportunity to beat me up and make me lose my beauty, so I won't be fooled!"
Xiao Yichen's face sank, and he wanted to seal his mouth with a fist.
Li Yu smoothed things over with an awkward smile, "Young Madam, let's season it."
As soon as the words fell, a gaze as cold as snow fell on him.
Li Yu shuddered, thinking that Xiao Yichen was blaming him for meddling, so he hurriedly got up, tugged on Lu Xinyan's sleeve, and walked towards the seasoning table.
The ice skates whizzed after him, and Li Yu walked faster and faster.
Taking advantage of Wu Sheng's return, Li Yu approached Lu Xinyan quietly, and said shyly, "Young Madam, how is Fourth Miss?"
"same as usual."
"Did you mention me?"
She doesn't know your thoughts, how can she talk about you?Lu Xinyan rolled her eyes speechlessly, "The incense you gave her last time, she gave it to Gong Rou."
"I...I... specially transferred it to her, how could she give it to someone else?" Li Yu asked anxiously.
"Since you gave it to her, it belongs to her. Whoever she likes to give it to is her freedom." Lu Xinyan exposed him mercilessly, "In the eyes of Fourth Aunt, you are just a junior."
"Then I... Should I express my heart to her directly?"
"Your mother agrees?"
Li Yu slumped his shoulders, "I didn't agree."
"Then does your mother know that the person you want to marry is Fourth Gu?"
"do not know."
I dare not say it, I am afraid that his mother will come and make trouble!
Lu Xinyan was speechless, "Then you can figure it out yourself!"
"I...I...I don't want to tell my mother, but I'm afraid that my mother will make trouble if she finds out!" Li Yu hastily defended, "It's not good for Fourth Aunt then."
Lu Xinyan hates this kind of mother boy the most, and her voice turned cold, "Since you can't convince your mother, why don't you let it go!"
"No! I can't ruin the Fourth Girl's reputation and ignore her!"
Fourth Aunt doesn't care about it at all!You are the only one struggling, and you can't figure out why!
Lu Xinyan rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Li Yu blushed, "My grandfather will come back from the front line during the Chinese New Year, and I will ask my grandfather to make the decision for me! My grandfather will agree with my decision!"
"Forgive me! You are the one who wants to marry the fourth aunt, not your grandfather!" Lu Xinyan was a little impatient, "If your grandfather can say the same in your family, today's son of the general's mansion should kill the enemy on the front line, not Wearing incense, eating hot pot leisurely in my small courtyard, thinking twice about whether to marry a woman!"
When Li Yu's father died in battle, his mother, Xiao Dong, was heartbroken. After giving birth to him, she took him as the only sustenance in her life, and she had to take care of everything by herself. Even General Li and Mrs. Li couldn't touch her!
When Li Yu was five years old, General Li took Li Yu out of Dong's courtyard and wanted to teach him martial arts himself!Little Dong knelt at the gate of General Li's couple's courtyard and cried for three days and three nights.
She said that since the death of her husband, her heart has long been ashamed, and she has nothing else to ask for in this life, but for Li Yu to grow old safely, even if nothing is achieved!Otherwise, it would be better to reunite with your husband underground early, than to lose a husband when young, or lose a child when middle-aged!
Old General Li felt sorry for her being a widow at a young age, and was also worried that the Li family's blood would be cut off, so he had to send Li Yu back to Xiao Dong's courtyard in a moment of resignation.
After this soft heart, he never hardened his heart, and every time he wanted to give advice on Li Yu's future, he would always be defeated by Xiao Dong's tears.
Later, Old General Li simply stayed in the frontier, out of sight and out of mind, and tried his best to keep the lintel of the general's mansion during his lifetime.
Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, and Lu Xinyan doesn't want to criticize Xiao Dong's way of raising children. After all, from the perspective of friends, Li Yu has not been raised strictly speaking, except for being too gentle and a little different in her hobbies.
But if you want to marry a wife and have children, you are definitely not a woman's lover!In particular, he should want to marry Gong Jin whose age does not match him. If he can't stand up on his own, can't make decisions about his own affairs, and doesn't have any ability to support his family, it will be an inevitable tragedy for Gong Jin to marry him!
"Young...Young Madam?" Lu Xinyan's blunt words were like a thunderbolt splitting through the haze that Li Yuming knew but dared not face!His face was red and white at times, he was dumbfounded, and soon, the redness spread all over his face, even his neck was red.
This kind of embarrassing expression, in someone's eyes, thought that Li Yu was shy because of the little deer in his heart!At the moment, his eyes darkened, as if covered with ice.
The two of them whispered there for a long time, what did that woman say to make Li Yu, who is so simple and stupid, show such an expression?
The slim and slim figure made Xiao Yichen unconsciously think of the feeling of being hugged in Wuyang Hou's mansion that day, it was soft and fragrant, making people want to move.
At this time, Li Yu, who was standing side by side with her, was also eager to move in his heart?
Xiao Yichen stood up abruptly, Wu Sheng and Gongsun Mobai who were eating well were startled.
"Cousin Xiao, doesn't my concoction suit your taste?" Wu Shengxue landed on Lu Xinyan, dipped the cooked meat and vegetables into small bowls, and distributed them to Gongsun Mobai and Xiao Yichen.
It was the first time he made the flavor himself, Wu Sheng felt that it was extremely delicious, and he ate it with great joy. At this moment Xiao Yichen made a movement, only to find that he had just given him a chopstick, and he hadn't touched a single chopstick.
"I'm going to learn Young Madam's craft, you guys use it first." Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth, and after finishing speaking, he walked directly towards Lu Xinyan and the other two.
"Li Yu, Mobai has something to look for you, and by the way, help me bring the spice that the young lady prepared for him!"
"Ah? Oh." Li Yu recovered from his daze, took the bowl from Lu Xinyan's hand without any doubt, and returned to the hot pot table.
At this time, Lu Xinyan was still grateful to Xiao Yichen, "Xiao Shizi, I would like to express my solemn thanks again for the matter of the Wuyanghou Mansion last time..."
"Mrs. Gong Shao!" Xiao Yichen interrupted her angrily in a low voice, as if the frost had fallen suddenly in June, "You seem to have completely ignored the words of this eldest son! This eldest son has warned you repeatedly, don't tell him again What kind of tricks are the three playing! You are acting like this now, how do you know how to write the word "honesty?"
Most of the gratitude in Lu Xinyan's heart disappeared immediately, she tried to explain, "Xiao Shizi..."
Xiao Yichen's Liuli eyes were as if frozen, cold and hard, "If next time you openly invite the three of them regardless of your shame or status, I will never let you go easily!"
Ah!
Lu Xinyan laughed back angrily, but her voice was as soft as water, "If the concubine wants to invite you, what can Xiao Shizi do? Kill the concubine? But the concubine is the wife of the second-rank marquis mansion, and the grandmother is the first-rank wife. Her old man loves the concubine very much, if something happens to the concubine, the grandmother will definitely uphold justice for the concubine, I am afraid that the noble son will not be able to get away so easily~"
Xiao Yichen's eyes dimmed, and then he evoked an extremely cruel and blood-thirsty smile.
As the most beautiful man in Tianwu Kingdom, he was extremely handsome, but he seldom smiled. Under this smile, like dark clouds parted to reveal a bright and clear sky, handsome and moist, he was extremely beautiful.
Lu Xinyan was slightly absent-minded.
"You're right! It's too much trouble to kill you!" The cold smile on his lips never disappeared, "So if you don't restrain yourself, this son will take the people around you! The first one is you My favorite little girl..."
"You bastard!" Lu Xinyan finally couldn't help changing her color, her eyes opened angrily, and she let the aura of her whole body spread wantonly, and the dangerous aura between her brows was rampant, "If you dare to hurt a hair on them, no matter how far you hide, I will kill you Shredded to pieces!"
The original coldness of the man on the other side suddenly subsided, and he returned to the appearance of an alienated and indifferent hypocrite.
Xiao Yichen brushed off his sleeves and robe, and said slowly: "As long as Young Madam follows what my son said, the people around you will naturally not lose a single hair."
"You..." Lu Xinyan gritted her teeth angrily.
"As for the seasoning, there is Mrs. Lao!" After he saluted like a gentleman, Shi Shiran left, leaving Lu Xinyan so angry that he almost jumped.
After daring to threaten her, send her to do things again?Miss you!
Lu Xinyan's eyes rolled, and she reached out her hand to call for Madam Cheng.
After a while, a night of chili sauce-based seasoning was placed in front of Xiao Yichen, and Lu Xinyan smiled sweetly, "Xiao Shizi, I know you like spicy food, so this is specially made for you."
That smile was obviously beautiful and pure, but it made Xiao Yichen feel as cunning as a fox.
At the same time, Qingtong came over with another big iron basin.
Mother Cheng picked up the original one, and Lu Xinyan explained, "If this hot pot is cooked for a long time, the taste of the soup base will become weaker. If you change the pot at intervals, you can always enjoy the original taste."
As she spoke, she did it herself, poured a plate of pork belly into the spicy side, stirred it a few times, and put it into Xiao Yichen's seasoning bowl, "I can't repay the kindness of Xiao Shizi's life-saving last time, this plate of pork belly Let's talk about it."
Lu Xinyan smiled and put down her chopsticks, "Master Xiao, please!"
Xiao Yichen had a hunch that it was not a good thing, but the meat was taken in front of him, put into the hot pot in front of him, and picked up in front of him!
With so many people present, it is expected that this woman will not dare to poison him to death!
Xiao Yichen lowered his eyes slightly, "Young Madam, you are welcome!"
In her expectant eyes, he picked up a piece of meat and put it into his lips.
Chewing and swallowing, without changing expression, he calmly put down his chopsticks, "Young Madam, Xiao has already received, but the weather is dry recently, so it is better to eat light food and eat less spicy food."
"Your Majesty Xiao, don't need to worry. The bottom of the clear soup pot here is filled with fire-removing medicinal materials. After eating spicy food, drink two bowls of clear soup to ensure that Prince Xiao is healthy!" Lu Xinyan did not wait for Xiao Yichen to refuse, and directly called Come to Xiaohe, "Xiaohe, even though Shizi Xiao didn't save you at that time, if Shizi Xiao didn't go into the water to save people first, I'm afraid you wouldn't be saved so quickly. Today, you will serve Shizi Xiao specially to repay Xiao Shizi. The kindness of the son!"
Xiao He said crisply: "Yes, Miss!"
Lu Xinyan blinked, "By the way, Xiao Shizi likes spicy food."
"Understood, Miss." Xiao He picked up a plate of fish fillets, "Xiao Shizi, I killed this fish with my own hands, why don't you try this first?"
The so-called killing by Xiao He's own hands is that those fish made her clothes wet, and she was so angry that she knocked them out with stones one by one.
As for removing the scales and viscera and cutting them into thin slices, it has nothing to do with her at all.
The girl's pure and clean eyes looked at him without any impurities. Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes nearby, Xiao Yichen suddenly stuck in his throat when he wanted to refuse, "En."
Xiao He happily poured the fish fillets into the spicy side.
Lu Xinyan commanded from the side, "You can pick it up, it's not tender enough when you're old."
Xiao He picked it up and put it into Xiao Yichen's bowl, and looked at him eagerly, "Master Xiao, eat quickly."
That expression is really hard to refuse.
Xiao Yichen held it silently.
Gritting his teeth in his heart: Sure enough, the most poisonous woman's heart!He won't give up until he's hot!
He never expected that that woman would openly replace it with the super hot chili from last time!
Gongsun Mobai looked enviously at Xiao Yichen who was being served, without knowing the pain in his heart at this moment, "Young Madam, why don't you let the girl named Baizhi serve me?"
Lu Xinyan said quietly: "Our family Bai Zhi, but I have never let her serve you, Mr. Gongsun, do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Baizhi has studied medicine since she was a child, and she is quite accomplished in medical skills. She usually likes to touch poisons, poisonous centipedes and the like, so I am worried that if she forgets to wash her hands when serving, or accidentally spills the poison in her sleeve Coming out is really not worth the loss. Gongsun Gongzi, are you right?"
Gongsun Mobai shivered, "Young Madam is very worried! You can cook this hot pot yourself, and you can control the rawness and ripeness by yourself. It's so special!"
"Young madam, this hot pot is so unique, does it have a name?" Wu Sheng asked with his belly full.
"This is called Mandarin Duck Pot!"
"Mandarin duck pot?" Wu Sheng thought for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more appropriate he felt, and he couldn't help laughing, "That's right, mandarin ducks, one white and one red, leaning on each other without interfering with each other, isn't it like a couple?" Mandarin duck? Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful!"
Li Yu was so preoccupied with eating, he kept thinking about what Lu Xinyan said just now.
He is not stupid, he knows that she despises him for his incompetence, and is afraid that he will not be able to support Miss Gongsi.
But he didn't want to, but when his mother cried, it's not an exaggeration to see the landslides, the earth crack, and the mountains and rivers change color. He is a son of man and a man, so he can't be disobedient!
But what Lu Xinyan said is right, if he becomes a family in the future, he will be the head of the family, he has to have right and wrong, he can't always follow his mother's wishes, and he can't let the old man worry about him at his age!
Thinking of Old General Li, Li Yu suddenly felt extremely ashamed!
My grandfather is nearly sixty years old, and he suffered many ailments from fighting on the battlefield when he was young. Now that he is old, he should be at home with his grandchildren and caring for his life. Hold on!
Thinking of this, Li Yu's tears were about to flow out.
Gongsun Mobai noticed his strangeness, "Cousin, what's going on?"
Li Yu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's okay, it's too hot, and I'm choking my eyes."
Gongsun Mobai snorted, but didn't take it to heart.
Xiao Yichen's eyelids twitched.
hot?Have you eaten?
What I eat now is called spicy!
"Xiao He," the melodious and life-threatening voice sounded cheerfully, "Don't just let Prince Xiao eat meat, help him boil some vegetables!"
The green vegetables are delicious, not only spicy, but also with chili water, it must be more exciting!
"Yes, miss!"
Xiao He obediently poured a small dish of cabbage leaves into the spicy soup base.
After several times of teaching by Lu Xinyan, she is now very experienced, and picked up the cabbage in two or three strokes, "Xiao Shizi, try the cabbage that Xiao He cooked for you."
Look at the peppercorns on the cabbage leaves, Xiao Yichen's whole face is full of resistance, "Miss Xiaohe, Xiao is full."
Xiao He looked at Lu Xinyan aggrievedly, Lu Xinyan winked at the little monkey, Xiao He understood, and immediately shifted her pitiful eyes to the little monkey.
The little monkey couldn't bear the aggrieved look in his clear eyes, "Master, you usually eat much more than this."
Xiao Yichen was so angry that he would eat the guy who cheated inside and out!Waiting for Grandpa to go back and clean you up!
The conscience of heaven and earth, the little monkey didn't know that Lu Xinyan had changed the pepper. In his memory, Lu Xinyan told her that the pepper in the barbecue last time was gone, and now the pepper is hot enough for ordinary people.
He simply thought that his young master was too embarrassed to eat too much!
"Xiao Shizi, is it that Xiao He's hot food is not tasty, Xiao He will help you re-burn it." Xiao He bit her lip, with a pitiful face of being bullied.
Who can refuse that delicate and innocent little pitiful appearance in front of everyone?
The corners of Xiao Yichen's mouth twitched, the veins on his forehead twitched, and he silently picked up the chopsticks.
Lu Xinyan laughed secretly and cramped: Mr. Xiao, didn't you want to trouble the people around me?Then let you experience it first, so that you can weigh it when you want to make trouble in the future!
This little girl, Xiao He, begged for someone, and even she couldn't refuse, let alone you, a big man, in public, do you have the nerve to refuse?
When Xiao Yichen realized that Lu Xinyan was using a man's face-saving nature to deal with him, he had already had a bad stomach because of eating too much spicy food, and he had diarrhea for two days and two nights!
As for the bottom of the clear soup pot that was removed from the fire, of course he didn't have a share!
"Young Madam, I came here today not only to eat hot pot, but also to bring good news!" Wu Sheng took out a bronzing and fragrant invitation from his sleeve.
Lu Xinyan took it and unfolded it, "Hua Yi Ji?"
The last time in the Marquis of Wuyang Mansion, Princess Changping Wu Wan once mentioned it after she and Shen Yuyan had finished exchanging ideas.
It is said that the Huayi Sacrifice is a feast of costumes held in memory of the first empress who was born in the Sijianfang. It lasts for two days on the ninth day of September every year.
There are two types of participants, one is self-registration, and the ranking is obtained through the divisional competitions held by local governments. On the eighth day of September, there will be a rematch at Lanying Royal Villa in the capital, and the top five will enter the final.
The other is directly invited by the royal family, a total of five people.
The invitees are all well-known clothing design and production experts from all over the Tianwu Kingdom, as well as the ladies who are talented in clothing design in Beijing and China.
The ten finalists will compete in the final on the ninth day of September. The referees are three concubines, seven first-class wives, and a think tank composed of twenty famous princes.
Finally, the top three contestants can enter the palace to show the clothes they designed in front of the queen mother and queen, and if they are lucky, they can also see the beauty of the sky.
It is said that the winners of the Huayi Festival have a very smooth marriage path, either entering the palace to become a concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine, or concubine, or marrying into the family of the emperor's relatives and first-class dignitaries.
Let’s not talk about it, let’s just say that the queen mother in the palace was the one who made a big splash at the Huayi Sacrifice back then, but was favored by the previous emperor and made a concubine. Empress dowager!
At the Huayi Festival three years ago, Lu Xinyan's mother passed away less than half a year ago, so she couldn't go to watch it.
Six years ago, her mother originally wanted to take her to watch, but suddenly her condition worsened and she failed to get her wish.
The memory in Lu Xinyan's mind now stays on the picture that the original owner saw nine years ago when he was seven years old.
At that time, I was young, small, and the quality of the uncle's house was not high. I saw a few times from the main stage, only saw a lot of beautiful colors, heard a lot of praise and applause, and knew nothing about the rest.
But thinking about it with her current brain, she probably understood that it was a fashion show similar to modern times.
Wu Sheng coughed lightly, "The chief referee for the Huayi Festival this time is Concubine Kong Shu. Originally, the postings of the five direct invitees had already been sent out early in the morning. It was the third sister who begged Concubine Kong Shu to say that you are quite talented in this area." , specially asked for one for you, knowing that I know you, and specially entrusted me to hand it over to you."
Princess Changping Wu Wan?Asked for it?I want to see her make a fool of myself!
It seems that last time she won consecutively against her two friends, Shen Yuyan and Wen Ruxiang, she really took it to heart!
Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "Third Prince, please take care of Princess Changping in the future."
If it wasn't for Wu Sheng's sudden appearance last time, she wouldn't have competed with Shen Yuyan, and she wouldn't have let Wu Wan hold grudges against her!
Wu Sheng took a special look at Xiao Yichen, "Young Madam, you don't need to worry, as long as you don't touch the bottom line that Sanhuangmei can't touch, I will take care of the rest, so I can guarantee you no worries!"
Lu Xinyan understood, "Hehe, it's only natural! Thank you, Third Prince, for your guidance."
The two opened their eyes to play riddles, completely ignoring Xiao Yichen's darkened face, and interrupted them very unkindly, "Madam Gong, the river is shallow, don't accidentally fall, you will be covered in mud."
Lu Xinyan pouted secretly, she was threatening her with the incident that she pushed Gong Rou into the river last time!
Wu Sheng and the others were at a loss, "Why is the water shallow and why is it covered in mud?"
Lu Xinyan smirked, "Xiao Shizi is asking if I am in any physical condition after I fell into the water last time? Thank you Xiao Shizi for your concern, everything is fine."
"Cousin Xiao is still careful." Wu Sheng's young face was rather embarrassed, he ate other people's food, drank other people's food, and used others to save face, but he didn't ask if he was healthy! "Young Madam, let's not bother you anymore, take your leave."
After several people left, Wu Sheng suddenly remembered something, why the collapsed wall hadn't been built after 20 days?
Then there was a full belch, and the delicious feeling just now revived instantly.
Wu Sheng felt that it was better not to build the wall properly, otherwise where would he eat such delicious food in the future?
He is an imposing third prince, he can't climb the wall, can he?
So Wu Sheng completely put this question behind him.
Xiao Yichen returned to Shizi's Mansion, while the little monkey stayed in the Pomegranate Court.
Just now, he could only watch a few people eat, but now it was finally his turn.
Qingtong replaced the pot with a clean pot bottom, Madam Cheng and the others put clean bowls and chopsticks, and everyone gathered around to eat steaming hot.
The pomegranate yard soon filled with joy and laughter, but the Shizi's mansion was deserted.
Xiao Yichen loves tranquility and loves tranquility, in the past he didn't feel deserted, but today he felt that the laughter in the courtyard next door was extremely ear-piercing.
Even though it was so far away, he could hear it clearly.
In particular, a certain melodious, crisp, sly and insolent laugh stood out from the crowd and fell straight into his heart.
If there is fire in the chest and abdomen, it is hot and hot, and the lips and tongue have long since lost consciousness, and I only hope that there is something that can relieve the spicy taste.
But there seems to be nothing to solve.
Accompanied by that laughter, Xiao Yichen felt extremely irritable in his heart, and he really couldn't find a better way except to pour cold water.
After a while, severe pain came from the abdomen, either from eating too much spicy food, or from drinking too much cold water.
He rushed to the latrine, wishing in his heart to tear that hateful woman who brought him here to pieces!
-
At night, when Nanny Lu brought Lu Xinyan bath water, she casually said, "There are a few good-looking maids in the mansion tonight."
These hands and feet are very fast!Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Whose idea?"
"Third lady."
Lien?Lu Xinyan's beautiful eyes sparkled, and there was a faint smile on her lips, "The third cousin's intention is too obvious."
The next day when I went to Fushou Yuan to say hello, Lu Xinyan had just stepped in when she heard Lian's smile and said: "Don't think too much, auntie, my niece and daughter-in-law are just thinking that the sister-in-law in the hall is going insane. It couldn't be cured either, Aunt Qin was sent to Zhuangzi again, Bingqiao was sick and sent away, Master Hou always needs someone to take care of him, so he tried to find some caring maids.
I didn't expect the other party to be so quick, so I sent him here last night. It was already late at that time, and my niece and daughter-in-law didn't want to disturb my aunt's rest. Seeing that the person really liked me, I stayed for now, and my niece and daughter-in-law brought it to me later. Look at the aunt, if the aunt doesn't like it, the niece and daughter-in-law will send him away immediately. "
After Bingqiao gave birth, she left. Feng claimed that she was seriously ill, and she was afraid of offending Lord Hou, so she sent her away.
No joy could be seen on Feng's face, and he said lightly: "Since you have left the capital, don't bother any more. It is rumored that outsiders think that our Houfu is acting in reverse! You have considered this matter carefully, and I believe your vision."
Jiang shi dislikes concubines in Gongxuan the most, and now there are four of them here, so Jiang shi must be restless in the Buddhist hall!
Lian smiled even brighter, "Auntie Xie praised me."
Gu Shi was a bit unconvinced, and in the past two days she went to the kitchen and warehouse to check one by one and inquired about the process, while Lian Shi just walked around casually twice a day.
Gu's wholeheartedly thought that she worked hard and was appreciated, but she didn't know that Lian's sword was deviant, waiting for work with ease, and gaining support by currying favor with Gong Xuan!
At that time, two words of approval from Gong Xuan will carry more weight than anything else!At that time, the position of head of the family may fall into Lian's hands.
no!Gu's heart made up her mind, for Mei'er's future, she must get the head of the family.
Seeing Lu Xinyan, Lian greeted her with a smile, "Zhuzhu came to say hello to Auntie, come quickly, Auntie was still talking about you just now."
"Hello second cousin, third cousin." Lu Xinyan asked with a smile, "How is grandma today?"
When Feng Shi saw her, he smiled a little more, "Okay."
Lian Shi said: "Zhuzhu, it's almost autumn, if you need any autumn clothes, tell me in advance, I'll let the sewing room make it for you first!"
"Zhuzhu thanked Third Cousin first."
"My brother and sister are right. It's autumn now and the weather is dry. Auntie, would you like to change the soup tonight to pear and snow fungus soup?" Gu asked.
"Sydney snow fungus nourishes the lungs, it's very good to eat in autumn, the second nephew's daughter-in-law is a good idea!" Feng Shi praised.
Gu Shi was overjoyed, and said again: "If Zhuzhu wants to eat, just mention it to me. You're welcome. I'll let the kitchen be well-organized."
Lu Xinyan's position in Feng's heart is well known, so Gu and Lian tried their best to curry favor.
"Thank you, Second Cousin." Lu Xinyan replied casually, her heart brightened.
After coming out of the Fushouyuan, Lu Xinyan went directly back to the Pomegranate Courtyard. As soon as she returned to the courtyard, she called Qingtong Baizhi and said that she wanted to paint.
"Huahua?" Qingtong's eyes lit up, and she volunteered, "I'll do it!"
Xiao Yichen secretly threatened yesterday, but the anger in Lu Xinyan's heart was still there.
Xiao Yichen was very good at martial arts, and he didn't have much contact with him, so she couldn't do anything to him, so she turned her anger into motivation to paint.
Bai Zhi's ears were reddish, pointing at Qing Tong.
One of the two studied medicine, the other practiced martial arts, and they were no strangers to the structure of the human body.
Lu Xinyan took a brush and brushed, and drew several pictures in one go.
Looking at the miserable state of Pei Ziyu being "tortured" in the picture, she smiled immorally.
Qingtong was very excited when she saw the sinister smile on her lips, rushed up to take a look, and exclaimed, "Wonderful! Wonderful! I want to keep these photos privately!"
In the previous Bingyu Biography, the three o'clock were not revealed, which was rather cryptic. While watching the ecstasy posture made people's blood boil, I always felt that something was missing, which was quite regrettable.
Now in these few photos, the facial expression is also vivid, but the other places are quite different, only the key parts are covered with tulle, and the graceful and powerful body lines are clearly visible.
Bai Zhi was also very satisfied, but she thought more about it, "Miss, do you have any problems with Xiao Shizi?"
When she asked, Qingtong also responded.
Obviously two days ago I said that my hands were tired and I didn’t want to draw. After a hot pot meal yesterday, I suddenly became more interested in drawing today. I drew so many eye-catching and nosebleed... pictures!
"It's wrong, it's not a holiday!" Lu Xinyan's eyes glowed dangerously, "It's a deep hatred!"
"What deep hatred?" Qingtong's eyes lit up, "Do you want me to help you avenge?"
If you take revenge, you can ask for a reward. As for the reward, hehehe...
Qingtong was thinking about something wretched in her heart.
"Can you beat him?" Lu Xinyan squinted at her.
The calculation was wrong!Qingtong lowered her head, "I can't beat it."
He raised his head again in an instant, "Miss, Bai Zhi can prepare poison, I can secretly poison, it is impossible to guard against!"
For some kind of welfare, Qingtong also worked hard.
It stands to reason that Qingtong's idea is quite good, but for some reason, Lu Xinyan frowned secretly.
Although there is a "deep enmity" between her and him, it seems that it hasn't risen to the point where she insists on killing each other!
At most, it would be a tricky trick, such as drawing him into some kind of unsightly painting!
"That's the son of the Duke's Mansion. If something really happened, our entire Marquis Mansion will have to be buried with us!" Lu Xinyan was upright, "And what if the little monkey is injured by mistake? Xiao He will be sad."
What she said was absolutely correct, but Qingtong and Bai Zhi felt that this was not the only reason.
Lu Xinyan didn't give them a chance to ask questions again, so she stretched her waist, "I ate too much yesterday and didn't sleep well at night, so I just took this opportunity to catch up on sleep."
Qingtong Baizhi had no choice but to leave with doubts.
After resting in the afternoon, Lu Xinyan began to polish the new painting. While polishing, she thought in her heart whether she should republish Bingyu Biography.
Only [-] limited editions were released before, and it has already caused a sensation in the public. This time, with the addition of these few limited-edition pictures, I am afraid that the entire capital will be a sensation.
At that time, there will definitely be many people who will associate Xiao Yichen and Pei Ziyu together. After all, the two have similar temperaments and hobbies, as well as the small details of their bodies!
As long as you see the real person and the person in this book, no one will not make this association!Lu Xinyan is very confident about this!
However, although his behavior of threatening to dislike her was very annoying, but no matter what, it was an undeniable fact that he saved her!
Grace, repay it ten times, revenge, repay it ten times.
The two have offset each other, it seems that it is better to leave it to your own people to appreciate in secret for the time being!
After Lu Xinyan made up her mind, she was about to put the newly drawn manuscripts together with the original manuscripts when there was a sudden noise outside.
"What happened outside?" She asked loudly while closing.
It was Yue Yue who came in, "Miss, the prince is here."
Prince?Xiao Yichen?Just thought of him and he came?
Lu Xinyan blinked and realized instantly that this son is not that son.
She frowned and asked, "What is he doing here?"
The last time I came here was to demonstrate with Cui Yingluan, what do I want to do this time?
Could it be that he wants to vent his anger on Jiang and scold her?
If he dared to open his mouth to curse, Lu Xinyan would definitely throw him out without hesitation!
"The prince said that he came...he came..." Lueyue suddenly blushed, "He came to consummate the house with Miss..."
"What?" Lu Xinyan suspected that she had misheard.
At this time, a slightly drunk man's voice sounded, "Lu Xinyan! My son is here, why don't you come out to greet him?"
Lu Xinyan heheed twice, and opened the door as she said.
She would like to see what the guy who treats herself like an onion wants to do?
The door opened, and there was a beautiful plain-clothed woman standing there, her silky hair and the corners of her gown moved automatically without wind, forming a natural beauty of her own.
Miyata Yu was stunned, no matter what, he had to recognize his own wife who was favored by him, she was indeed extremely beautiful!
With this thought, the mentality of being at a disadvantage has been balanced a lot.
What's more, there is a beauty like Shu Yun...
Not only that, out of the corner of Miyata Yu's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Lueyue standing behind Lu Xinyan with his head bowed, his naturally shy posture like a little white rabbit instantly seduced Miyata Yu's soul.
Not bad!Among other things, Miyata Yu thinks that Lu Xinyan should forgive her a little bit if she has the eyes of two beauties!
He said brazenly: "Lu Xinyan, my son will come to consummate the house with you tonight, as you wish, and make you the legitimate mistress of the Guangping Marquis Mansion!"
Lu Xinyan chuckled, "Yo, I have wronged the prince, but does the prince still remember the vows he made?"
"This son is a man who promises everything, how can he not remember? I just don't want to be as knowledgeable as a little woman like you." Miyata Yu put on a high-ranking posture, "Also, after this son consummates the marriage with you, you must Say a few good words for your mother in front of the grandmother, so that the grandmother will release your mother as soon as possible! If you are filial and generous in the future, this son will favor you, let you give birth to a boy and a half girl, and secure the position of wife of this son!"
Lu Xinyan couldn't help laughing out loud at the dignified and condescending look, "Hahaha..."
Miyata Yu's proud expression was gradually replaced by annoyance, "Lu Xinyan, you don't show your teeth when you smile, why are you smiling like this?"
"Yes...I'm sorry, it's not me who wants to laugh, it's you...you are so funny, I can't help it! Hahaha..."
"Lu Xinyan!" Gong Tianyu became furious, "I finally decided to forgive you for your rudeness and rudeness in the past. How dare you laugh at me? Tonight is your last chance. You should think about it clearly." !"
"Thank you son for the opportunity." Lu Xinyan straightened up, tears came out of the corners of her eyes from laughing so hard, her whole face was flushed with blush, and she became more and more charming.
She smiled sweetly, and in Miyata Yu's lost soul, she closed the door heavily, "But I thank you very much! Don't have such an opportunity in the future, I have a heart disease, and I can't stand being scared!"
Miyata Yu stared blankly at the closed door, unable to react.
"Qingtong, send him away! If he dares to say anything unpleasant, throw it out immediately!"
"Yes, miss!"
Miyata Yu finally came to his senses when there was a burning pain in his arm, "Lu Xinyan! You are so ignorant? Don't think I dare not divorce you..."
"boom!"
"Lu Xinyan! How dare you let someone throw me away!?..." The courtyard door closed, roaring in disbelief and being cut off from the outside.
On the second night, Uncle Tian brought back a person in a hurry.
Mr. Li, the accountant on Zhuangzi.
His full name is Li Xiaotian, and everyone calls him Mr. Li.
About forty, with pale skin, tall and thin, wearing a green shirt and long robe, as proud as a bamboo, quite a bit of a celebrity.
The appearance looks like a scholar, but when he looked at Lu Xinyan sharply with scrutiny, Lu Xinyan smiled, what kind of scholar is clearly a businessman!A savvy tradesman up for grabs!
If she doesn't suit him and doesn't fall into his eyes, I'm afraid he will find a reason that you can't refuse at any time, and even make you feel uneasy in turn, and leave with his hands.
"Zhuzhu met Mr. Li!" Lu Xinyan saluted generously, looking at him with neither humble nor overbearing eyes, neither avoiding nor giving in.
Strictly speaking, this is the first meeting between them.
When the original owner met him, he was too young, and after seeing him in a hurry, neither of them left a deep impression.
A few days ago, the original owner was sent to the countryside. After Lu Xinyan came to this ancient time, she stayed there for more than 20 days. First, there was no need to meet each other. Second, Lu Xinyan didn't think of this person at all, so this time, it was two people. A real meeting.
Lu Xinyan was six points satisfied with Mr. Li first.
Three points are satisfied with his natural shrewdness.
The two points are that he did not judge her lightly based on hearsay, but came to confirm in person whether she was worthy of his following and service.
There is still one point, but it is because he is different from Bai Zhiqingtong's stupid loyalty!
It seems to be unfair to Qingtong Baizhi and the other two!
Is there anyone who doesn't like others to be true to themselves?
Indeed not!
It's just that Lu Xinyan traveled to this ancient time as a modern person, and although she was happy with the situation, she always kept the sobriety of an outsider in her heart!
When she uses these two points of sobriety to judge Qingtong Baizhi's actions, she will give birth to a point of disapproval!
If she was still the Lu Xinyan she used to be, with a gloomy and irritable personality, who listened and believed, their attitude of not asking why and only implementing, would probably become her accomplices in crimes, and thus put themselves in a desperate situation!
But now Mr. Li's scrutiny, obeying his master within the scope of his own principles, this kind of self-awareness character, makes Lu Xinyan, who is a modern person, appreciate it even more!
The sharpness in Mr. Li's eyes slowly dissipated, and he gradually changed into a satisfied expression. He bowed his hands, "I've seen Miss!"
It seems that the first hurdle has passed, Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, "Mr. Li has been working hard for the past two days, please go down and rest first, I will send someone to deliver the account book tomorrow."
Then he turned to Uncle Tian and said, "Thank you, Uncle Tian! Luaoyue, send Uncle Tian off for me!"
Uncle Tian's eyelids twitched.
He didn't forget that she asked him last time, which type of combing the moon would he prefer, so that she could play the joke of helping him find a wife!
Lueyue was suddenly called upon, and Rou Rou stood up in a daze, "Mr. Li, Mr. Tian, please!"
Mr. Li smiled and cupped his hands: "Miss Lao Piaoyue."
Uncle Tian was expressionless.
Tonight is the twelfth day, the moon is very bright, and the pure moonlight shrouds the entire Quang Binh Marquis Mansion.
Sleeping in the middle of the night, when everything was silent, there was a sudden sound of slight, hurried and noisy footsteps, followed by a piercing scream, followed by howling, and the masters and servants of the entire Guangping Marquis Mansion were shocked. , all woke up.
Feng Shi was a light sleeper, she finally fell asleep and was woken up again, feeling very unhappy, seeing Nanny Sun coming in through the curtain, she frowned and said, "A Ying, go and see what happened in the middle of the night, why is she crazy?"
The woman Feng Shi spoke of was Jiang Shi who was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall.
The scream just now came from Jiang's mouth, and he is still crying until now, as if he has encountered something extremely sad and heart-wrenching, and he is crying heartbreakingly!
Lu Xinyan was also woken up, "Nurse Lu, go and have a look."
A quarter of an hour later, Nanny Lu came back with a very bad complexion.
"Nurse Lu, what happened in the Buddhist hall?"
"No major incident happened in the Buddhist hall, except that the incense candle altar was overturned by Madam." Madam Lu said, "Madam's natal uncle and young master passed away."
"Madam's younger brother is dead?" Lu Xinyan asked in shock.
"Madam's natal family sent someone to report the news. Uncle Fu didn't dare to delay, so he took someone to see Madam. When Madam heard this, she fainted on the spot, and when she woke up, she screamed and cried bitterly!"
"What was the cause of death? I remember that Young Master Jiang was only 22."
Nanny Lu said: "The person who reported the letter said that my uncle was drunk with his colleagues tonight, and he stumbled and fell into the river on the way back. Later, he was found on the surface of the water. The person happened to know the young master, so he sent the body to Jiangfu to leave. gone."
Nanny Lu sighed, "It's such a pity for someone so young to leave his wife and three-year-old daughter behind."
She looked at Lu Xinyan's expression, saw that she seemed to be in a trance, and said nothing, "It's only been quiet for a few days, I'm afraid there will be no peace soon."
Jiang Huai, the only direct brother of the Jiang family, has died, and the Jiang family will definitely be released to return to the manor to help prepare for the funeral. This time, this release coincides with the pain of bereavement, coupled with Feng's selfishness, it is very likely that he will not be imprisoned in the Buddhist hall again. .
After the Jiang family regains their freedom, they are afraid that they will intensify their efforts to deal with Lu Xinyan and seize her dowry!
Regardless of whether Lu Xinyan took the initiative to attack or passively responded to the challenge, there would definitely be no more peaceful days.
Lu Xinyan understood what Nanny Lu was thinking, but she was thinking about something else.
Just after Jiang's crimes were exposed, Jiang Huai died suddenly. This timing is too coincidental!
So was Jianghuai's death accidental or man-made?
A person in the book city asked how many chapters will be updated every day in the future, and the wind and rain replied four times and they were all swallowed.
