Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 64
Shen Ziling was surprised: "Aside from the Queen Mother, whose birthday is it?"

She has a close relationship with Shen Ziling, and Yun Wanqin does not shy away from it: "I heard that Concubine Helian is also celebrating her late birthday."

When Shen Ziling heard this, she narrowed her eyes, shook her head, and said, "Miss Helian still thinks about celebrating her birthday?"

Yun Wanqin was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Shen Ziling also heard it from her sister Shengqin when she was at home, took a sip of honey tea, and lowered her voice: "It is said that she was jealous with Concubine Wei, and the defendant was brought before the Holy Majesty. Tell me, isn't this hitting a stone with an egg? Who doesn't know that Concubine Wei is a big red Man, the Holy Majesty's heart must be biased, so he naturally protected the imperial concubine, so he slapped Concubine Helian on the spot, and punished Concubine Helian for not being able to copy books in her own palace. …I heard that Empress Nahelian copied for several days without eating or drinking, and she dared not stop writing even when she was sick, even the King of Qin couldn’t persuade her.”

Yun Wan raised her eyebrows: "Prince Qin?"

"Well, I heard that King Qin came to the palace to persuade your concubine to take care of her body. A few days later, she was reported to the Holy Majesty. Although it was not a big mistake, and it was because of her filial piety to her mother, during the time that your concubine was confined and punished, He entered the palace without purpose, and it was still unjustifiable in the end, the Holy Admiral reprimanded King Qin, but King Qin didn't make any excuses, and consciously took the initiative to accept the punishment, saying that he was forbidden to stay in the palace and never leave the house."

No wonder there was no movement, it turned out that he was punished automatically and was grounded in the palace?
Yun Wanqin was meditating, and the servants came to report, saying that the carriages had been arranged, and the young master's place was also ready, please ask the eldest girl to go out.

Yun Wanqin and Shen Ziling left Yingfuyuan together, bid farewell at the gate of Shi Lang's mansion, got into the car with her younger brother, and headed for Youxian Villa in the suburbs of Beijing.

Longding Mountain, Youxian Villa.

The temperature in the outskirts of the mountains and forests was much lower than that in the capital city. As soon as the carriage left the city gate, Yun Wanqin felt a lot refreshed, and the sweat from traveling all the way was dry.

The suburbs are full of shade, and there are towering trees along the road. In the distance, there are green fields and rippling lake water. The cool summer wind blows gently with the fragrance of the soil, which makes Yun Jinzhong unable to bear it several times. Wanting to lift the curtain and go down to play, Miao'er and Chu Xia almost couldn't stop them, Yun Wanqin raised her eyebrows: "I haven't arrived at the Zhuangzi yet, if the servants who follow find you are pretending to be sick, I'm afraid you will Gotta go back."

Yun Jin heard it again, and then settled down obediently.

When I arrived at Zhuangzi, there was already a servant guarding the door. It was Hu Dachuan, the old manager of the flower garden and field in Zhuangzi. He was wearing a brown blouse from a villager's family. With a thin face and kind eyes, he looks very kind, just like Hu Dachuan, wearing a peasant woman's linen clothes, clean and tidy, surnamed Wei, and Hu Dachuan is a couple.

The other woman was born round and round, with a plump and short stature. Although she was not young, she behaved poorly. Her eyes were unusually shrewd. Her surname was Ma. There is an oil-green pearl hairpin stuck in it, not like the steward of a Zhuangzi in the mountains, but more like the housekeeper of a wealthy family in the capital.

These three people have come to help the master's family take care of Youxian Villa and some nearby industries since a few years before Xu's death. Four or five girls, followed by a brocade robe and tasseled crown, handsome young master brother, who knew that he was the daughter and young master of the master's family, bowed together and shouted: "Miss, young master."

Hu and his wife are the sons of the Xu family. They have been servants of the Xu family all their lives.

And Mrs. Ma was originally from the servant's mansion, and was transferred by Yun Xuanchang to manage Zhuangzi together.

When Mrs. Wei was in Xu's residence, she had nursed Mrs. Xu, who had just given birth to a daughter when she married into the Yun's family. During confinement, she also helped to take care of the Yun's family. She also met the infant Yun Wanqin. As soon as the son saw the eldest girl, she was carved out of the same mold as the Xu family, and rushed forward, grabbed her hand and choked up: "Miss, I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to see you in my lifetime... It's a pity, miss, But the slaves can only see each other after a hundred years..."

Although Hu Dachuan was also emotional, he was afraid that the eldest girl would not like it, so he scolded his wife with tears in his eyes: "You nonsense mother-in-law, what are you talking about, the eldest girl was crying when she first arrived, thinking we are not welcome. "

Mrs. Wei burst into tears, but she kept crying, holding onto Yun Wanqin's hand and not letting go.

Yun Wanqin asked Chu Xia to take out some silver, and the three managers gave a reward of five taels of silver plus small accessories, and distributed another ten taels of silver, and asked Hu Dachuan to go to the market in a nearby town to buy some wine and meat. After cooking a good meal, at night, ask the servants of the Zhuangzi to have a meal with the farmhands and hunters who are familiar with the Zhuangzi, and then reward the rest of the money equally.When the servants heard this, they couldn't help being overjoyed, thinking that this big girl really knows how to behave, and they rolled up their sleeves and were very grateful.

Hu Dachuan saw that this big girl was not yet old enough, but she had an account in her mind, she was methodical, no worse than an adult, and she was very good at buying people's hearts, even the farmers and hunters who often dealt with around her were never missed, and she was serious and thoughtful , was a little surprised, and happily persuaded his wife: "Look, the eldest girl is so promising, why are you crying, it's too late to laugh!"

Only then did Mrs. Wei feel a little relieved, her young lady had a hard life, she thought she would marry a good husband, but she ended up in depression, fortunately her daughter was quite lucky, she shed some tears silently after thinking about it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ma also wept dryly, but her eyes kept sweeping Yun Wanqin's body.

In these years of managing the Zhuangzi, Pozi Ma and Hu Dachuan and his wife are friendly on the surface, but in fact there are many conflicts. She is protective, selfish, and greedy for petty gains. She often invites relatives from the countryside to work in the Zhuangzi, earning the difference and making profits. Hu Dachuan found out, but he refused to admit it.

It is not uncommon for the stewards of rich families to play tricks, and Hu Dachuan also knows that seeing that this old woman is sent by the master, the mistakes she made are not too serious. Control too much.

Although these three old people are all in charge of Zhuangzi, who is sincere and who is perfunctory, what calculations are in each person's mind, Yun Wanqin already has a demon mirror, and without much talk, he advanced to Zhuangzi.

In the evening, when the servants were having dinner in the main courtyard, Yun Wanqin took her brother by the hand and led Chu Xia, Miao'er, and Brother Qiao over there.

The long-term servants in the village did not expect that the hostess and the young master would condescend and come to eat together, and they were all flattered.

Yun Wanqin, however, smiled and pulled Yun Jin to sit next to Manager Hu, raised a bowl, filled it with tea, replaced the wine with tea, and exchanged a few words to make everyone enjoy themselves, so don't let yourself down here trip.

A meal in the countryside is extremely satisfying.

The banquet is gone, the night is bright and the stars are sparse, Zhuangzi's night is quiet and beautiful, only the singing of frogs and insects.
