Lady Zhao

Chapter 29

The people brought back by Zhao Wenwan were placed in the female family room where the guest lived, right next door to Mrs. Lin's original residence. As soon as Mrs. Lin left, the courtyard became vacant, and Mrs. Xipinghou moved to the old lady's courtyard to be her companion. Son, wait for He Jingyuan to come with you.

Doctor Yuan came over to look at the person, and said that it was caused by fatigue and fright, and that there was nothing serious.When Zhao Wenwan learned about it, she acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, and only said a word to He Jingyuan, and let him send him away when he was ready, and then he didn't care about it.

There were more beautiful women with unknown origins in the mansion, so naturally there were more discussions. He Jingyuan was one of them who brought someone back, so he had to take responsibility for her.

"Master Biao, are you here to see Miss Mu again?" Lu Yun, who was assigned to take care of the wing room, saw the tall and tall figure in the courtyard, and saluted.

He Jingyuan was inexplicably embarrassed, it was inappropriate for him to come and go frequently as a man, but Zhao Wenwan completely disregarded it, which made him confused, "Is Miss Mu awake?"

"Master Biao came at an unlucky time, he was still awake just now, he just complained about his headache, now he drank the medicine and fell asleep again." Lu Yun replied.

He Jingyuan nodded and let her go. He stood in the yard and scratched his head with a headache. In three days, he ran four times. It was so unfortunate that each time he planned to send her away while she was awake. I have to wait.

In the room, the girl's half-opened small window faced the courtyard, and a pair of eyes that were always watery and tender, framed the figure of the man's back.On the table, a white jade bone china unicorn double-headed incense burner has long since extinguished its incense sticks, leaving only a faint scent that seems to be there.The woman who was supposed to be lying down was hiding at the side of the window, watching secretly.

Tall and slender, with broad shoulders and narrow belly, she was so healthy, even if she turned her back at this moment, she could still describe the man's handsome face.

After the figure in the courtyard left, Mu Lanyan looked back, a blush bloomed on her fair face, her eyes darkened, she sat down straight, her posture was like a blue orchid, and she was as light and elegant as a lady from an aristocratic family. He took a sip of the tea in the cup, then looked at the exquisite cup again and again, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and murmured as if to tell himself, "This trip to the capital really is the right time. .”

Then he thought about the thrill of the night when he first came here, his face turned pale, his fingertips clenched the rim of the cup tightly, if it wasn't for the chance he got later, he would almost be destroyed by that pig-headed person, when he thought of the person who looked at her naked She still feels disgusting at the moment, how could such a vulgar thing be worthy of her, God gave her such a look, but it was not for her to be spoiled by such a disgusting person.

Fortunately, God still treated her kindly, and let her find a chance...

The majestic Dingguo Mansion, with carved beams and painted buildings, is magnificent. She can only touch and see such wealth and luxury in her dreams.

Now that I am in it, there is something in my heart that is unreal, why did she come to the capital, and fell out with her adoptive parents? Isn't it because she was fed up with the poor life in the countryside and wanted to live a life of a superior person, besides, the county town Those who proposed marriage to his family were all low-level, but they still thought it was very good.

Looking down, there is a simple beech wood dressing table in front of her. The rhombic mirror on the top is very polished, which just reflects the woman's face. Kun's divine flying, such a graceful and youthful appearance, is indeed rare in the world. Unlike Zhao Wenwan, who is so beautiful and domineering, her beauty is graceful and restrained, and she is reluctant to speak, which can even fascinate men.

Mu Lanyan touched her cheek, her expression was a little dazed, and for a moment, her eyes suddenly brightened, evoking a smug smile, she must match the best man in the world.

I thought I'd come across...

That night, the young master in brocade clothes stood in front of him, handsome and outstanding, with an indifferent expression, so noble that he couldn't climb rocks, he was really on the same ground and the same sky as the toad who dreamed of her wishful thinking.

It's rare for her to fall in love with her, but why did she suddenly become a daughter!Mu Lanyan clenched the mahogany comb tightly in her hand, her expression changed, turning blue and red.

For the sake of the man she adores, she purposely pretended to faint in his arms, trembling all the way, not daring to miss every word he said, but the voices of the young miss and young master Biao made her stiffen, thinking it was Dingguo The son of the mansion became the eldest lady not long after entering the door. This blow was not a small blow to Mu Lanyan who originally wanted to cling to her wholeheartedly. What's more, if such a man became a woman, she would be as beautiful and stunning as her. How could he bear the existence of such a woman.

If it's a man, it's fine to promise him life-saving grace, but if it's a woman, what should I do?

Besides, after seeing the luxury of Duke Dingguo's mansion, how could she want to leave again, so she excused herself to delay because she had a headache. She had never seen the eldest lady, but the young cousin came frequently. I heard that he was the son of Marquis Xiping, and his family background was not bad. , this is on her list.

After thinking for a long time, Mu Lanyan settled down and waited for He Jingyuan to come again.

In the boudoir of Xiangzhuyuan, there is a bowl of small wontons, all round and fat, lying in clear soup, with chicken shreds and fresh green onions sprinkled on top.Zhao Wenwan took it and ate it slowly. There was also a plate of fried golden snacks on the table, which looked like bananas, but the first bite tasted like pumpkin, and after another bite, you could eat glutinous rice and red beans. It's a bit hot to get up, but it's quite comfortable to eat warm in the cool morning.

Bailing is good at cooking food, and is quite creative. Cook glutinous rice and red beans, mix them together, knead them into a long strip, then knead the steamed pumpkin, mix it with honey, wrap it around the glutinous rice and red beans, and knead it into a banana. It is fried in a pan in a curved shape, which is very delicious.

Zhao Wenwan had used the court meal and asked Baochan to ask, "The girl in the West Wing still lives?"

"Stay here, Master Biao has gone several times and he hasn't seen anyone. He said that the girl is weak, and I guess she will have to take care of her for two more days." Thinking of the rumors in the past two days, Baochan couldn't help talking, " Everyone is spreading the word that Young Master Biao likes the new and dislikes the old, so he has his eyes on that girl."

Zhao Wenwan was taken aback when he heard the words. Thinking of the quietness of the past two days, he curled his lips. In this way, it doesn't hurt to let people stay for a few more days.

On the other hand, He Jingyuan's life was not easy, he was originally a guest, and he was going to go with his mother after the Qiqiao Festival, and I don't know if Uncle Zhao did it on purpose, so he insisted on staying with him for a few more days.Every time he saw Zhao Wenwan's meaningful smile and the ambiguous gazes of the people below, He Jingyuan, who was not as thick-skinned as Zhao Wenwan, couldn't stand it at all.

Bite the bullet, He Jingyuan made another trip to the West Wing, and this time he was determined to send him away, at best, just give him more money.

But this trip went smoothly beyond his expectation. He was invited into the house by Lu Yun, and he saw the woman waiting in the living room. It looks very elegant.

When Luyun approached, he realized that there were many people in the room, and his eyes were almost on He Jingyuan's, and he was a little panicked like a little rabbit. Then Shi Shiran got up and saluted, "Mr. He .”

He Jingyuan was a little taken aback by that gaze, but when he heard the woman Qingling's voice, he subconsciously replied that you are welcome, girl, so as not to lose his composure.Lu Yun looked at this scene, lowered her head, covered her lips, let out a low laugh, said "Don't disturb me" and then backed out. He Jingyuan was not in a hurry to stay, and could only watch the little girl rushing out with a gossiping expression on her face.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent, and He Jingyuan coughed a little uncomfortably, and found a topic and said, "Miss, are you feeling better?"

"Thanks to the young master's care, it's already much better." Mu Lanyan invited him to sit down, put an empty teacup in front of him, poured tea slowly, and revealed a slender white wrist with the movement, with the sapphire bracelet, it looks even more beautiful. Thin and slender.

He Jingyuan subconsciously turned his gaze away, and was about to go straight to today's topic when he heard the woman speak softly first. "If it hadn't been for Mr. Meng's rescue that day, Mu Lanyan would have no face to live in the world now."

"Miss is serious. My cousin is kind enough not to be bullied by bullies. The girl should be grateful to her." He Jingyuan also recalled the situation that day. The two people who had no communication created a fog like this. If Zhao Wenwan heard his words , it is no surprise that they will stare blankly at them.

Mu Lanyan looked at the softened lines when he mentioned someone, concealed the emotion in her eyes, and continued, "Mu Lanyan came to the capital alone to find relatives, but unexpectedly her relatives passed away and went to no avail. ..." He choked up his voice as he spoke.

He Jingyuan had nothing to do with weak women, and when You Qi cried, his head hurt even more, "Miss, don't be sad, there are still people in my hometown, I can ask someone to send a carriage to take the girl back."

"I was originally the daughter of Mu Shinian, a porcelain merchant in Licheng. Later, my family fell into poverty, and my father died of a serious illness. The property in my family was taken by two evil servants. They couldn't tolerate me. They told me that the matchmaker promised to be the concubine of a rich merchant in the town. I didn't want to be humiliated, so I packed my bags and escaped overnight, and went to my uncle and grandpa in the capital, but...unexpectedly, my uncle and grandpa left early, and now I am left alone." Mu Lanyan seemed to mention a sad thing , Tears slapped down like beads with a broken thread, crying pitifully.

When He Jingyuan heard the words, he also felt a little pity when he saw her crying pear blossom with rain on her worried face.

"I know it's unreasonable to disturb the mansion for many days. It's just that I'm a weak woman. I really don't know what to do when I get out of this door. I will inevitably encounter that dangerous situation again. I feel panic and don't know how to face it. It’s been delayed until now.” Mu Lanyan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, showing a bit of strength in her weak posture, “Today I invited my benefactor to drink tea and thank you, and it’s also a farewell. After all, I can’t do it for the little girl. Cause trouble to benefactor."

For some reason, He Jingyuan opened his mouth, but changed his original meaning, "It's inconvenient for the girl to be alone outside, I... Let's think of a way."

"The little girl doesn't know how to repay the kindness of the young master." Mu Yan raised her head when she heard the words, her pointed chin was charming, and pearl-like tears were gathering here, turning into a drop of bright luster.

He Jingyuan had already spoken, so he hurriedly went to find Zhao Wenwan to think of a way without stopping. The cousin should not be desperate... shall we?

In Xiangzhuyuan, a chair was moved in the courtyard. Zhao Wenwan basked in the sun, quite leisurely. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his eyelids. Seeing He Jingyuan's appearance of hesitant to speak, he simply closed his eyes, thinking that Suffocate him.

Later, He Jingyuan didn't hold back, told the truth about Mu Lanyan's life experience, and looked at Zhao Wenwan expectantly with blinking eyes.

"You mean to let me take it in?" Zhao Wenwan took a bowl of red pomegranates, biting them one by one, sneering in her heart, if she is pitiful and wants to take her in, there are so many poor people in the world , and said that she is not in charge of the government of this country.

"It couldn't be better." He Jingyuan said with a smile on his face.

"But cousin, have you ever thought about what capacity she will be allowed to stay in the Duke's Mansion? She is not related to the Zhao family, what can we do? Guest? It's just for a while. Maid? Don't you feel wronged by someone who is as beautiful as a flower? .”

"Uh……"

Zhao Wenwan suddenly smiled, "I have an idea."

"what?"

She said bluntly, "Since ancient times, when a hero saves a beauty, beauties promise each other with their own body. Cousin might as well accept her as a wife and concubine. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? I think she looks pretty good. Cousin is so lucky."

He Jingyuan was slightly taken aback, his chest stopped "..." For some reason, he panicked even more when he heard these words.
