Yipin Tianxia

After two consecutive autumn rains, the weather gradually cooled down.Especially in the morning and evening, you have to wear a jacket.

Watching the rain gradually stop outside the window, Ouyang Kang turned around and asked, "Sister, do you think we can go now?"

Dou Rongruo was also thinking about this matter. Originally, they planned to rush to Yangjiaqiao today, but unexpectedly, a sudden heavy rain trapped them in this small town.

Find a restaurant to rest for a while, but I didn't expect that it would take a long time to wait.If we go again now, we should be able to reach Yangjiaqiao before dark, even if we can't, there is a market along the way, so we don't have to worry about no place to stay.

"Then let's go." Ouyang Kang knew that she was in a hurry, so he didn't ask why, but cooperated very well.

Dou Rongruo was originally a straightforward woman, so after weighing it up, seeing that the sky was already clouded and the rain had dispersed, she decided to go on the road.

Quickly packed up his things, drove out of the carriage, Ouyang Kang rode on the horse, she got into the carriage, and the group continued on the road.

I just didn't expect that the place where I walked before had already opened and the rain had stopped, but there was another cloud in front of me.Now I can't go back, I can only go forward in the rain.

Seeing that Ouyang Kang was getting wet quickly, but the only two coir raincoats were worn on Lao Yang who was driving the car, and Shui Sheng who was sitting outside the car, Dou Rongruo said, "You also get in the car, be careful if you get wet, it will delay things. "

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Ouyang Kang asked Shuisheng to give him the coir raincoat. He got into the car, tied the horse to the back of the car, and sat in front with Lao Yang to drive the car.

That's fine, Dou Rongruo didn't say much.

In the evening, the rain finally stopped.They also went to a market.Hearing Ouyang Kang sniffing his nose non-stop in front, thinking that he was still getting some rain, Dou Rongruo refused to let him go.

"Find a store to rest for the night, and make some ginger soup for everyone to drink."

Ouyang Kangben said no, but Dou Rongruo said, "Even if people can last, horses can't. They have been walking in the rain for so long, let them rest."

Only then did Ouyang Kang give up and get out of the car.Go to the inn to inquire about accommodation.Unexpectedly, a woman suddenly called out his name in a shop.

"Ouyang Kang?"

Ouyang Kang heard the voice quite familiar, and instinctively turned his head, but saw Dou Rongruo coming out behind him, and took his arm pretending to be affectionate.whispered. "Don't look back."

Then he pretended to wipe the rainwater off his face with a handkerchief.He said quickly, "That woman looks not young, and she is still dressed as an unmarried woman. The people next to her seem to be practicing family members. Worse, it must have alarmed someone."

Ouyang Kang whispered, "If you get in the car now, it will be suspicious. Why don't you go to the silk shop in front to buy some things and see if you can slip through the back door."

Dou Rongruo responded, then turned around and told Ah Zhi and the others, "Let's stroll here for a while, you go home first, so that Daddy won't worry about it."

These Caobang children are all used to the family, and they will know what it means when they hear it.

Driving the carriage away as if nothing had happened, Ouyang Kang took Dou Rongruo into the small shop, only to pretend to buy something, but suddenly a three or four year old boy came out of the shop, pointed at him and asked, "Your surname is Ouyang?" Is it? Are you going to hide from the people behind?"

Ouyang Kang was amazed, and Dou Rongruo was also puzzled, before deciding whether to tell the truth, Ouyang Kang nodded first.

The little boy was not very suspicious, "Then you come with me."

Ouyang Kang didn't know what he meant, he could see that this little boy had clean features and better clothes, he didn't look like a treacherous person, so he came out with him.The little boy led them around the back hall, but did not go to the back door, but followed the door on the wall, took them around and around, and turned into another shop.

"If you go from here, those people won't be able to catch you."

From this perspective, you can just take a look over there.Ouyang Kang turned his head and asked, "Why did you help me?"

The little boy scratched his head, "My mother said that my family has received great kindness from Princess Jiashan. She reminded me that if I meet her in the future, or someone with the surname Shi and Ouyang, remember to help her."

Dou Rongruo couldn't help asking, "Then who is your mother? What kind of favor did you receive from that princess?"

The little boy opened his eyes wide, "My mother is my mother, but she's not at home. Well, she said that she had eaten a dessert made by the Princess, called Jiaqi Tiancheng, and it was delicious!"

Dou Rongruo looked at Ouyang Kang, but his eyes were full of confusion, he just reached out and touched the little boy, "Thank you, let's go."

He pulled Dou Rongruo to leave quickly, the little boy turned back, but the group couldn't find anyone, so they came to inquire.

The little boy returned to the store, still squatting down to grab the chess pieces to play, and said "I don't know" when asked.

The woman was surprised, "Could it be that I made a mistake?"

Suddenly her eyes lit up, "No! That's Ouyang Kang, otherwise why would he hide when he sees me? Hurry up, go back and report to Uncle Chai!"

On the other side, Dou Rongruo, who knew his whereabouts had been leaked, had to split into two groups again after reuniting with Lao Yang and the others.

"You go to Yingfeng Bridge as originally planned, and find a way to inform the leader, saying that we are waiting for him at Sansheng Lake on the opposite side."

Now that young men and women are on the road alone, Dou Rongruo had no choice but to put up her hair in a bun, change into women's attire, and set off with Ouyang Kang.I was afraid that someone would come after me to inquire, so I didn't dare to stay in an inn, so I had to stay in a private house.

Since they were husband and wife, they only gave them a quilt, so Dou Rongruo couldn't say anything, and felt awkward. Fortunately, Ouyang Kang was very polite all the way, and he didn't sleep on the same bed with her, but just leaned a little on the table and chair.

But within two days of this, the person looked haggard. He had caught a cold before, and even had a fever.Even taking medicine is not good.

Dou Rongruo gritted her teeth, and when she stayed again this day, she pulled him back, "I believe you are a gentleman, now you are in a hurry, we all lie down with our clothes on, it's important to take care of yourself."

Seeing that she was already lying on her side facing inward with red ears, Ouyang Kang thought about it, and then lay down on the outside.

He had been ill for several days, and he didn't have a good rest, but fell asleep very quickly, but Dou Rongruo was a little restless.

It's easy to say, but as an unmarried woman sharing the bed with a man, even if it's nothing, it will always damage her reputation.If Ouyang Kang was an unmarried man, there could be some arguments.But he happened to be married...

For a moment, Dou Rongruo was in a state of confusion, and he couldn't tell whether he was regretful, sad or what. He just wanted to bring Ouyang Kang to meet his adoptive father as soon as possible, so that the matter could be resolved.

Walking on the road is always slow, and the waiting time is even more like years.

broken garden.

Nianfu leaned in front of the window, watched the autumn scenery after the rain on the porch for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "Chun Miao, go and tell Ayao. When the crabs are fat, I'd better make some crab sauce and keep them. Mr. loves to take this Eat it with noodles. Don’t ban it because I can’t eat it. Buy some fresh ones and bring them back for you to try. Just hide the potatoes. We’ll make them later. Send them to Shen’s house too. Okay? Alright, let them have a taste of our craft as well."

"Then can I ask for a jar?" Suddenly, someone with a smile opened the door curtain and entered the room.

Nianfu turned his head to look.But it was Deqing.

Just about to say why she came here again, Deqing laughed to himself first, "When I just entered the garden, I saw your relatives, and that uncle of the Kang family sent two big baskets of fresh crabs. You have to do it, It just happens to be something ready-made.”

When Nianfu heard about it, he quickly got up and asked her to sit down and pour tea, and then asked someone to bring Xiaoshuzi, and then ordered someone to pack something, so that he could give Kang Shoujing a reward in a while.

Deqing said, "Don't be too busy, we are not serious customers, you come here the same way."

In the end, Nianfu still confessed one by one, and then gossiped with her, "It's all about you, but my big cousin is also very difficult. Since the reconciliation, because I have never married again, there is not even a younger maid in the family. It's easy to use. The other things are fine, but the clothes on the body are a bit out of shape. Every time he comes, I can take care of it, so I take care of it for him."

Deqing was quite curious, "Then why doesn't he want to remarry? You seem to have said last time that his ex-wife has already remarried?"

Nianfu sighed softly, "You are not considered an outsider, so I will not lie to you. His grandmother is not in good health, and she has suffered from many illnesses in the past few years. On the side of the uncle and aunt, the disturbance has become more and more outrageous. It was said that the outer room was pregnant, but it was later found out that it was false, and now his second uncle has got two little girls aged sixteen or seventeen in the room, day and night thinking about having a son... Such a family is just a daughter-in-law It's also difficult to come in, not to mention that their family doesn't really want to pick him up."

Deqing is not a golden branch and jade leaf who is not ignorant of the world and the world. Hearing this, he understood most of it in his heart.

As the eldest grandson of the eldest house, the grandma who is the head of the house must be taken care of, not to mention that she is sick and it is even more difficult to take care of her.It's better to just stay for a few years, get over the old man, and pick up the wife later, which will save a lot of trouble.

After all, no matter how close uncle and aunt are, as long as they don't kiss grandma, they will be separated by one layer after all, and there is no need to worry so much about many things.

But Second Aunt Kang regretted that she didn't take advantage of Kang Shouyi's young age to adopt him.Now that they are grown up there, and have their own farm property, even if they reluctantly adopt him, they will definitely not be sincere.

It turned out that when the He family had an accident, Nian Fu still wondered if their family would pester him and asked her to rescue Kang Jierong.Unexpectedly, the second uncle of the Kang family had given up on that daughter a long time ago, and although the second aunt Kang couldn't bear it, she was even more afraid of being implicated by her daughter. Let him not meddle in his own business.

Since then, Kang Shoujing has seen through the selfishness of the uncle and aunt. At most, he sent clothes and food to Kang Jierong a few times in the prison, just doing his best.

Speaking of which, this cousin is also to blame. If she hadn't acted on her own way back then, and had the wrong idea, how could this trouble have ended like this?Or, if she wants to get married, she will accept her fate and live a stable life, and she will always live a comfortable life for a few years, and she will not be "lingering on the sick bed" for a few years, and then go to jail with the He family.

Kang Shoujing now only focuses on helping his younger brother take care of the farm, but there are always fruits and vegetables all year round.Nianfu saw that he still had the energy to spare, so he simply handed over several imperial estates in the suburbs of Beijing to him to take care of.

Went to invite Anlai to the old lady and Su Cheng, and brought Xiaoshuzi here to recite blessings on the way.

Because Deqing was there, he only chatted with them outside the curtain.

Xiao Shuzai got a new cage of grasshoppers, which was very novel, and lay on Kang Shoujing's lap, listening to the adults' gossip, while teasing the grasshoppers with vegetable leaves.

"...This year's harvest is good, only the autumn harvest is about to come, and there is another busy work. Maybe it will come again, it will have to be harvested next year. This basket of crabs is not from our field, but a bee catcher sent them to try them out. In our area The crops are good. I allowed him to release the bees before, but I didn’t expect this time to be kind and bring us some things. Now that there are many wild osmanthus flowers behind the forest, I also asked him to release them for a while. Honey, I’ll bring it to you again.”

Nianfu smiled, and just wanted to say something, Deqing couldn't help but interjected, "Since that's the case, why don't you let someone go to your Prince Ping's mansion for a while? I remember that the flowers there are very popular. Especially the sweet-scented osmanthus. It’s almost the season. Why don’t you raise a few hives of bees yourself. Can you want any nectar in the future?”

Kang Shoujing hurriedly said, "The flowers in the mansion are raised for the nobles to reward. It's scary to get some bees back. If someone gets stung, it won't be good."

Nianfu said. "It's okay. The matter of beekeeping. Someone mentioned it in Poyuan before, but because there are so many people here, it feels a little inconvenient. Let's just let it go. The Pingwang Mansion is quiet. I'm afraid Ah Shun has already thought about it. It’s hard to mention. You can go back and discuss with Ah Shun. If you can, bring the beekeeper and let him have a try. Give him a few hard-earned money, and he can collect some honey. If you are willing, willing to teach Our people are better."

Kang Shoujing smiled and said, "I dare not say about my apprenticeship, but if I invite you, I will definitely come. The sweet-scented osmanthus in Prince Ping's Mansion is famous in the entire capital."

Woo!

Suddenly, Xiao Shuzai tore the grass-woven grasshopper cage for no reason, and the grasshopper jumped out, seemingly trying to escape.

Xiaoshuzi was in a hurry, and he was about to chase after Kang Shoujing.

Nianfu saw it through the curtain, and his face sank, "Let him go! I deserve it if I can't catch up. It's always like this every time. If you break a toy, you will find someone to cry. You can't get used to this problem!"

uh-uh-

Hearing what she said inside, Xiaoshuzai became more and more anxious and wanted to cry.He ran after him twice, but missed. Seeing that the grasshopper was about to jump into the grass, his small mouth was shriveled like a bitter melon, and he came back pitifully and grabbed Kang Shoujing's sleeve.

Deqing couldn't bear it anymore, and Kang Shoujing couldn't bear it even more when he saw that teary little face.He caught the grasshopper back for him in two or three times, afraid of being scolded by the blessing, so he quickly led him to weave a grass cage.

Seeing that Nianfu was still sullen, Deqing persuaded, "Okay, kid, it's true that you don't care about the severity of your actions. How can you control those?"

Nianfu glanced at her angrily, "You guys can sing together, but if that bastard doesn't teach you well, he doesn't know how to act!"

Deqing listened to the singing of the four characters one and one, and felt a little warm in his ears. Knowing that Nianfu had no intentions, he quickly changed the subject, "Look, I was too busy talking about nothing, but I forgot one important thing."

"what?"

"Do you know who the empress brought back?"

Nianfu was taken aback, does it have something to do with her?

"Lu Ying." De Hai sneered, "She said she was a cook sent by her natal family. Who doesn't know how many pairs of eyes in this palace are all blind?"

Nianfu was really surprised this time. She knew that Empress Wang was in a bad situation recently, but as for getting Lu Ying back, was she looking for trouble for herself?

Deqing said, "Be careful, that woman has been against you in the past, and now she has come back, she might make trouble with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lai Xi, who was already in charge of the leisure garden, came to report in a hurry, "Princess, that Lu Ying is back again, and even ran to our place to make trouble, ordered a table of dishes, and everyone was picking on each other there, talking a lot. If it sounds bad, we will have to pay for it. Sister Cui Rong can't handle it, so she asked what to do."

Deqing's face changed, and he was about to get angry.Nianfu patted her hand, "It would be great if you could come and tell me. Go back, these things are not something you should get involved in, I can handle it."

Deqing was still worried, "Then I'll take a look with you."

Nianfu shook his head, "It's not good for you to go, she came looking for me, so I'll go."

Order people to send Deqing back, stay in Kang Shoujing for dinner, think about blessings, change clothes, and go to Xianyuan.

Xianyuan is now the number one place in the capital, and it is a meeting place for women and relatives of wealthy families to discuss and meet.The biggest advantage of coming to such a place is the tranquility.The gardens are staggered one by one, and unless you deliberately show your signs, you will never be seen.And even if there is a lot of noise in a garden, as long as you deliberately cover it up, others will not know it.

So Lu Ying saved the energy of quarreling, although she came to criticize, she sat there in a friendly manner, and only criticized the tea and food in the broken garden as useless.

Then the request is simple, a refund.

Cui Rong was so angry that her face turned pale. If the money is refunded, will their reputation still be lost?Can you do business in the future?But no matter what she said, Lu Ying just said:

Unappetizing.Not worthy of the name.Do not believe let her come.

If it wasn't really forced, Cui Rong wouldn't let Laixi go to ask for blessings.When the blessing came, she was ashamed, "It's useless to be a slave..."

Nianfu waved his hand, "Follow me in."

In the elegant guest room, Lu Ying is drinking tea.

When Nianfu came in, she took a deep look at Nianfu, saw her glamorous but not ostentatious attire, saw her swollen belly and slightly haggard face, and then stood up with a faint smile. "Greetings to the princess."

Reciting blessings does not return gifts.He went straight to the top and sat down, without asking her to get up, and said old-fashionedly, "Long time no see. You are old."

Lu Ying was startled.Then his face turned pale.Almost gritted his teeth, "The princess's complexion is not very good either."

Nianfu glanced down at her and said calmly. "I am going to be the mother of two children soon, how can I not grow old? Why are you still not married? No one wants it, but there are a few servants in my family who can be assigned to you."

Lu Ying was so angry that she trembled all over, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood, the arrogance that she wanted to find fault with before was turned into hatred, and she took a deep breath before she could speak, "Even if the servant does not marry, she is doing well .Don't bother the princess."

Nianfu said indifferently, "It's a little effort, but it's not a matter of worrying or not. Well, you can go."

Lu Ying raised her head coldly, "The maidservant's business is over, and I can't leave yet."

"how?"

Lu Ying finally found an opportunity, and immediately said, "Even if the servants are humble, they are still guests here. But these dishes are not delicious..."

"Cui Rong." Nian Fu interrupted her suddenly, and said, "Since we opened, has any customer said anything like this?"

Cui Rong said angrily, "No!"

Nianfu nodded, "How many princes and wives, Miss Qianjin didn't pick me up after eating it, but you are a slave, so what should people say? Say you are more noble than those princes, ladies, and Miss Qianjin, they What you can eat, but you can't eat it. To make it appear that you, a slave, are more capable?"

Lu Ying choked again, choking almost to the point of dying.

After a while, she stopped pretending, "Princess, it's useless for us to say those boring things. Since you and I are both cooks, why don't we compete in cooking today. If I lose, let the princess handle it. If I win , just ask the princess to admit it. Princess, you will not dare?"

Nianfu smiled, and said more and more slowly, "So what if you dare, so what if you don't dare? I have also learned cooking skills, but I am also a princess. And you are just a servant who uses cooking skills to earn a living .Why do I want to compete with you? Why do you want me to compete with you? What's more, if you lose, you say it's up to me to deal with it, and I let you die, will you go? Even if you are willing to die, but this What good is it for me. But I lost, but I have to let you, a little servant, step on the shoulders of me, the princess, to climb up, you are very good at treating people as fools?"

In the end, there was already a chill in her words.

Lu Ying had nothing to say, and suddenly said, "Did you have a hard time conceiving the princess?"

Before Nianfu could answer, she said, "On the way to Beijing, I once met the county horse, and I was with a young and beautiful woman, very intimate."

Looking at her provocative gaze, Nianfu suddenly smiled again, "Thank you."

With Lu Ying's astonished expression, she read a blessing and said, "Thank you for telling me that he is safe. If there is nothing else, you can go."

Lu Ying got angry and left in anger.

Cui Rong breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly became worried again, "Don't trust her about the county horse."

Nianfu said, "Why don't you believe it? If others say this, I may not believe it, but if she is willing to say it, I will believe it."

"How could the county horse be like that?"

Nianfu smiled, "Since you don't even believe it, why do you still doubt it? We know that the county horse is safe. You have worked hard today, but if she dares to make trouble, there are probably people behind her to support her. Be careful recently."

She got up to leave, but suddenly frowned slightly, Cui Rong was startled, "What's wrong?"

Nianfu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's okay, the little thing kicked me. Maybe I know his father is safe, so I'm happy."

Seeing her leaving indifferently, Cui Rong was relieved.

"Then I'll go and tell Princess Zhenshun that it's inconvenient to ask her to come forward in this matter today, but if Lu Ying really comes to make trouble later, it's better for her to think of a way."

Nianfu nodded, "Get busy."

She went back with her own people.Tell Su Cheng the news, like Nian Fu, he believes it [-]% or [-]% of the time.

The old lady became even more anxious when she heard this, "If Kang'er is fine, why hasn't he come back?"

Everyone wants to know this question.
