Chapter 21

The second young lady of the Yun family, Yun Qianhan, has peach cheeks and almond eyes, and there is always a fragrance lingering around her body, which she could smell even when she was outside the gazebo.

Third Miss Yun Xiaomei sat alone at one end. A 14-year-old girl with simple hair accessories, a small pointed face, and a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye.Yun Xiaomei wore a plain white dress with no decorations. Most of the time her eyelashes were drooping, and when they were raised, there was nothing but emptiness in her pupils.

In front of Xiaomei Yun, there is a complete set of tea sets such as tea tray, tea cup, tea spoon, tea lotus, etc., and the long-mouthed kettle next to it is constantly steaming on the stove.

When Feng Xihe was looking at her, she also raised her eyes and looked at Feng Xihe, but she quickly lowered them again, seeming to have neglected the head of the family.

While the two were inquiring about each other, Yun Changyi turned around and picked up a cup of tea that he had poured, handed it to Feng Xihe, and said with a smile: "Little sister learned her tea skills from a wonderful monk. Xihe You have to try it."

Wonderful monk?

Feng Xihe had heard of this strange man. It was said that he had sores on his head, his behavior and things did not follow common sense, and he liked to talk nonsense on weekdays, and many of them turned out to be prophecies.Therefore, the princes and nobles of several countries are trying their best to find him.

It's a pity that this person has no fixed place to live, and he doesn't love gold, silver, and power. A few years ago, when he passed by Jinling, he even uttered lies, saying that Gu Shiyin, the king of Yu in the dynasty, had no destiny for the throne in this life. After ordering to hunt him down, his whereabouts became even more strange.

It turns out that Yun Xiaomei and Miaoseng still have this relationship, so it's no wonder that she will be appreciated by the Queen Mother in the future.Feng Xihe looked at the tea-scented cup of justice, and did not take it immediately, but said with a little doubt: "In the past few days, the people in Jinling City have been talking about the eldest cousin and the third prince after dinner, but the eldest cousin can Drinking tea like a normal person, I really admire this boldness."

After speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became uncomfortable.Yun Changyi choked on one sentence, Feng Xihe didn't give her face so much, she didn't give or accept the justice cup in her hand.

"It's too hot to drink tea in this weather, why don't you let me chill a cup for Miss Feng." At this time, Xiaomei Yun suddenly raised her eyes and spoke in a calm voice.

iced?Everyone was stunned for a moment, although it is so pleasant to drink a cup of iced tea soup on a summer afternoon, but it does not take half a day, how can it be iced well.

"This is the Jade Dragon Jue." Yun Xiaomei asked a maid to bring a whole piece of white jade that was bigger than a saucer, put it on the tea tray, then took the justice cup from Yun Changyi, and put it on the Jade Dragon Jue .

I saw that the Jade Dragon Jue was crystal clear and moist, revealing a trace of coldness.The originally steaming justice cup disappeared within a short while, and when Miss Yun brought the justice cup to Feng Xihe herself, Feng Xihe could feel that even the walls of the cup were completely cold.

"Miss Feng, please." Yun Xiaomei finally smiled lightly, but she didn't smile.A tear mole made her smile even more sad.

Feng Xi and Mo Ran took it, drank it all in one gulp, and suddenly felt a coolness in their stomachs, which made people want to drink a few more glasses.

Xiaomei Yun also chilled the tea soup of the others according to the method just now.After everyone drank it, they felt that it was even more miraculous than the tea trick performed by Yun Xiaomei before.

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Feng was overjoyed. She couldn't help but think that the daughters of the Yun family were all stunning, and immediately rewarded them with a lot of things, and even Feng Ruolan followed suit. Light.

Feng Xihe looked at him coldly, and thought to himself, this little girl Yun not only helped Yun Changyi out of the siege quickly, but also got a reward from Mrs. Feng, and she has already understood the means.Compared with Yun Qianhan, who is all charming and charming, she is obviously more curious about Yun Xiaomei.

Mrs. Feng rewarded some common gold and silver jewelry, but she knew that Miss Yun liked simplicity, so she also rewarded several suet jade hairpins of different styles.

"Sister, these bracelets are so beautiful. Look, which one should I wear at the book exhibition?" Yun Qianhan, the second young lady of the Yun family, has never seen such a luxurious thing, and can't wait to pick it out from the red lacquer tray. He bought a few red gold silk bracelets and tortoiseshell cloud-patterned pearl hairpins, and dangled them in front of Yun Changyi.

"Han'er, take these and keep the rest for your elder sister." Feng Ruolan showed a greedy look, she quickly knocked off Yun Qianhan's hand, and moved a few red lacquer plates to her eyes.

She is also shallow-sighted, what's more, after she was kicked out of Zhitan Courtyard, Mrs. Feng took back part of the power in charge of the backyard, and her quality of life seriously declined.So, at this time, she can fish when she can.

Yun Changyi only felt that these two things were too embarrassing, but he didn't speak to stop them.After all, they are ashamed, so she will shine.

The full trays of jewelry and jade were quickly divided up by the two of them.

However, Yun Qianhan didn't seem to be satisfied, and after a while, her pretty face flushed red, she seemed to be a little distressed, and said to herself: "It's a pity, I don't have any clothes to match such fine jewelry. .”

When talking, Yun Qianhan's eyes turned to Feng Xihe from time to time, feeling aggrieved in his heart.She has always loved beauty, and she knows more about the things that women use than anyone else.But there is no money to buy it.Feng Ruolan was too stingy, and she and Yun Xiaomei were not Feng Ruolan's biological children, so the treatment was not much better.

Today, seeing Feng Xi and her clothes are of the highest quality, her eyes couldn't help but shine.This Feng Xihe looks so ugly, but how can he be born so well!Although she is not as beautiful as Yun Changyi, she is confident that she is more beautiful than most of the daughters in Jinling.She should be worthy of Feng Xihe's outfit.

"Lvzhu, you will take a few girls to the clothing store later, and make some new clothes for each of them." Mrs. Feng couldn't see Yun Qianhan's little thought.It's just that Mrs. Feng is happy, so she doesn't spare a few clothes.

"Xihe thinks it's inappropriate to do this." Just as Yun Qianhan was secretly proud, Feng Xihe poured a basin of cold water on her, "Grandma, do you still remember, after the snow disaster last year, what disaster relief strategies did my cousin offer?" ?”

Originally, Mrs. Feng's face darkened, but after hearing what happened later, she didn't say anything.Such a big matter, of course she remembered that the snow disaster at that time had caused the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty to be anxious, and finally it was Yun Changyi's plan that was adopted, and it was considered a solution.

Feng Xihe said: "One of the strategies proposed by my cousin is to lighten the tax and reduce the tax. After the tax is reduced or exempted for the common people, the income of the national treasury will inevitably decrease. On the border battlefield, the military salary of the soldiers will also be affected. Therefore, my cousin said that she was willing to take the lead in spending all her private money, and even organized a fundraising event in the city herself."

"Then other princes and ladies responded one after another and took out their belongings. This year, even the wealthiest family in Jinling has reduced their clothing and food. Even on grand occasions, they have not dressed up well. Too expensive."

"There are so many people present at the sixth day's book exhibition, and Lord Yushi will also come. If the two girls are too gorgeously dressed, it will be difficult to guarantee that they will not be gossiped about."

"Cousin, do you think so? No, I should be called Anle County Lord." As she spoke, she tilted her head halfway again, looking at Yun Changyi with a little confusion, and Yun Changyi also felt a little guilty.

She is not blind, Yun Qianhan is not very good at concealing it at this age, she naturally understands that look just now.But if you want to extort something from her house, you have to ask her if she agrees.

In the past life, they cheated the Duke's mansion so much. In this life, even if she feeds them to the dogs, she will not give them anything.

Mrs. Feng took a sip of tea, nodded in relief, and agreed with Feng Xihe's words. This granddaughter is becoming more and more sensible.At the same time, she also felt that Feng Ruolan and Yun Qianhan were too ignorant.

"Put your things away first. After the wind has passed, I'll have someone take you to make clothes."

The imperial censor at that time was a stabbing head, stabbing whoever caught him.Yun Changyi is the county head who was banned because of the disaster relief plan. If he is read in a book at that time, he will be slapped in the face.

"Xihe is right." Yun Changyi forced a smile and snatched the red lacquer tray from Feng Ruolan's hand, "Chang Yi accepts the old lady's wishes on behalf of her mother and two younger sisters. But since Chang Yi mentioned If you have an idea, you have to take them as a good example. Please take these jewelry back first, and hand them in if the national treasury needs it. We will not get in the way here."

Feng Xihe sneered in his heart, Yun Changyi was Yun Changyi, and she would not let her be alone in the limelight of being reasonable.

"Okay, you sisters should work together like today." Mrs. Feng put down the prayer beads, grinned and patted Feng Xi and Yun Changyi's shoulders.

But the two looked at each other, each with their own thoughts, Feng Xihe turned and said angrily: "That's right, otherwise the last time I haven't paid off, my cousin will have to bear another debt."

"What debt?" Madam Feng was a little puzzled, and Yun Changyi was nervous. She didn't want the old lady to know about the secret evidence.

"It's nothing, it's just a joke between me and my cousin." Feng Xi and Yingying smiled, and then the maids around Mrs. Feng went to put away the trays.

Yun Xiaomei is indifferent to everything, but she doesn't care about a few hairpins, and puts them back on the tray on her own initiative.Feng Ruolan and Yun Qianhan are different.The duck that reached its mouth just flew away, how could it be reconciled.

"Little bitch, take it slowly and you won't die." Feng Ruolan complained in a low voice, she vented her anger on Yun Qianhan, and pinched Yun Qianhan's waist so hard that Yun Qianhan was in pain Cried out, but didn't dare to attack, so he could only gouged Feng Xihe with his eyes.

Until everyone had almost left, she was looking at the empty stone table with nostalgia, thinking about the wealth and honor that passed by.

Yun Changyi came over quietly, and comforted softly, "Second sister, don't be sad. When you shine, everyone will look up to you. At that time, there will be fewer sons queuing up to give you gifts and pursuing you." ?”

Yun Qianhan's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he understood.

*
It didn't take long for the book exhibition on the sixth day of June. On this day, the Duke's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, but all the decorations were simple and elegant, and the maids and servants greeted the guests outside the gate early.

At the beginning of the night, when Feng Xihe came to the waterside pavilion in the back garden, most of the guests had arrived, but Mrs. Feng hadn't come yet.

In front of the waterside pavilion, cigarette smoke curls from a bronze censer as tall as a person.All the lantern riddles were drawn on the lanterns, and the lanterns were hung on silk ribbons of various colors.Countless flower pots are placed around the water pavilion, some of which have not yet bloomed, but have a pleasant fragrance.

"Feng Xihe, why are you so shameless that you dare to attend this kind of occasion." Gu Jinnian's leg injury is still not healed, but he couldn't bear the longing, so he came to the Duke's Mansion early in the morning without hesitation .

Feng Xihe looked at Yun Changyi who was sitting next to Gu Jinnian, with a few tears remaining in the corners of his eyes, and understood that Yun Changyi probably had a lot of good things to say.

"Your Highness, the third prince, you got it wrong, I'm the victim. I didn't complain about you, so you blamed me first. Do you need this lady to tell everyone about the two of you! And, This is my home, anyone who feels uncomfortable staying here can get out!"

Feng Xihe stabbed back very rudely, took a whip, found the best seat and sat down, crossed his legs, and yanked wildly.
