Yutai Bi

Chapter 158 Fire
She blocked the door to arrange things, and Du Yanwan controlled the horse irritably, but she couldn't rush over.She called her sister-in-law a few times, but Cen Sanniang pretended not to hear her.Seeing Du Xifu leave, Cen Sanniang looked at her with her chin propped up: "There are only three of us, including me and the girl next to me. There are so many of you, it's easy to rush out of the house!"

The guards looked at each other.

Du Yanwan got off her horse, rushed to Cen Sanniang's side in a few steps, and stretched out her hand to grab her: "Sister-in-law, get out of the way!"

Cen Sanniang raised her hand and slapped her across the face.

Du Yanwan was stunned by the slap, covered her hot face and murmured: "You hit me?!"

"Grandmother fainted, you are not filial if you don't wait by the bed! Dare to do something to the eldest sister-in-law, it is disrespectful! Riding a horse in the mansion almost hurt people, arrogant and domineering! Go smash the Duke's Mansion, Du Yanwan, do you want others to say that the Duke's Mansion wants to resist the edict? If you make a fool of yourself again, believe it or not, I'll give you another blow!" Cen Sanniang hardened her heart and said coldly.

Tears rolled out of Du Yanwan's eyes drop by drop, she cried out with a cry, threw the whip and ran away.

"Ah Qiuxia Chu went to see the second girl, and brought a few more wives. As long as she doesn't run away or seek death, she will be free to demolish the house!"

Ah Qiu and Xia Chu hurried away.

Cen Sanniang got up, and looked coldly at the guards present: "You, Du Zhien, as the leader, did not listen to the orders of the mistress, and took the lead in indulging the second girl to mess around. Which one of the house rules has been silently violated in my heart! The affairs of the outer court are decided by the Lord, and at night Let him deal with it when he comes back. From now on, the Duke's Mansion is only allowed to enter but not to leave. Anyone who breaks the access control will be expelled from the mansion."

After speaking, he walked away.

When she arrived at the Zhengqi Hall, the doctor had already arrived, and said that the old lady was in a hurry and was fine, and prescribed Anshen Decoction.

Mrs. Du's body was strong, and she woke up after a while.She struggled to get up, and a light burst out of her eyes: "Grandma is fine. Go, get my clothes, I want to go to the palace to face saints!"

Cen Sanniang glanced at Yin's mother and signaled her not to go.She helped the old lady to lie down, and said softly: "Grandmother, don't worry. When he came out of the palace, Hei Qi went to the north palace gate. After he asks Mr. Xiang what he means, can we discuss it?"

"Yan Sui!" Mrs. Du muttered her grandson's name, and lay down with tears streaming from the corner of her eyes, "If the old man is still here, how dare a mere founder of the country dare to bully you!"

Cen Sanniang secretly thought it was broken.One of the two sons was beheaded, and the other was exiled and died of illness.Du Yansui, the only grandson, wandered abroad for several years in the name of learning art from a teacher before returning home.The sad things that can make an old lady think about it can hold a basket.The more you think about sad things, the more you get stuck, and the more you get stuck, the more you feel depressed. If you are not sick, you will think of a serious illness.For a while, she didn't know what to say to comfort the old lady, so she winked at Yin's mother anxiously.

"Old madam, do you still remember the old lady of the Fang family resisting the decree and drinking jealousy?" Mother Yin understood and asked.

Mrs. Fang Xuanling refused the late emperor to bestow her husband Meiji, but the late emperor said that she resisted the decree, put the vinegar in a jug and said it was poisoned wine for her.Mrs. Fang was not afraid, and drank it all in one gulp.The first emperor withdrew his will.Since then, the wives of rich families often use this to make fun of their husbands.

When Yin's mother mentioned this, the old lady must have been very impressed.

Cen Sanniang took the conversation and said with a smile: "So, who said that there is no room for change in the marriage given by the empress? You just rest. Come back tonight and listen to what he has to say."

After a few rounds of persuasion, the old lady finally calmed down: "Let's discuss it after Yan Sui comes back. How is Yan Wan?"

Cen Sanniang stood up and said, "I asked the girl to watch her. I'll go and have a look."

When she left the main room, she saw Mr. Du leading Hei Qi in.

Hei Qi came to see the old lady, probably got a message from Du Yansui.Cen Sanniang felt relieved.

"I met the young lady. Young master Sun asked the young lady to tell the old lady and you that the mansion should hurry up to prepare for the wedding. The more lively the better, the younger one will go see the old lady first." Hei Qi said politely.

Cen Sanniang was stunned, and said to Du Xifu: "I'll go and see the second girl. The manager will take care of it first. If you need money, go to the inner courtyard to find Mother Fang to get the right card."

Du Xifu agreed.

Cen Sanniang didn't understand why Du Yansui gave such an order, so she looked at the sky and thought that he would be back at night, so she put away her questions.First went to see Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang didn't know the situation yet, but she was still in good spirits.Cen Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief again, and told the girl who was waiting on Mrs. Zhang to keep her mouth shut and not to startle her, and went to the other side of the courtyard to see Du Yanwan.

A Qiuxia came up to greet her: "Second Miss locked herself in the room and drove Duo'er out."

Duo'er was standing at the door wiping tears.

Cen Sanniang ordered: "At the beginning of Xia, you and the wives should keep a close watch on this yard, and don't let anyone out. Don't disturb mother."

Xia Chu took orders and went.

Cen Sanniang signaled Duo'er to take her to see Du Yanwan.

The carved wooden door of Du Yanwan's bedroom was tightly closed.Duo Er shouted at the door: "Second Miss, the Young Madam is here."

Probably a porcelain bottle was smashed, and there was a crisp sound from the door.

Duo'er started to cry again: "Second Miss, you are hurting yourself."

Cen Sanniang asked Ah Qiu to put a chair at the door, sat down and said slowly: "You didn't smash the Jianguohou's mansion, but you didn't feel sorry for money when you smashed your own home?"

There was another loud bang from the door, but a round drum stool was thrown from the sound.

Aqiu was startled, and said in a low voice, "Young madam, would you like to sit a little further away?"

"What are you afraid of? The second girl only has the potential to smash things to vent her anger!" Cen Sanniang raised her voice and said, "Don't think that I am not as strong as her, and I am not as tall as her. I can solve this marriage without smashing things. Call it your job!"

The door was pulled open abruptly, Du Yanwan glared at her with red eyes: "What do you think?"

"Hey! I was shocked! Look at this appearance, she is the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, she is clearly the queen of the mountains! First wash and dress up, and then ask me." Cen Sanniang slanted and Du Yanwan covered her mouth with a smile, got up and went to the main hall sat down.

Ah Qiu hurried to order the rough envoy to boil water and make tea.

Du Yanwan's temple hair is loose, her eyes are swollen like peaches, and her makeup is also faded.Seeing Cen Sanniang's smiling face, she immediately called Duo'er loudly, "Bring me a basin of water."

Duoer went happily.

Before finishing a cup of tea, Du Yanwan rushed in: "Sister-in-law, tell me what to do?"

"Why, shouldn't you ask grandma first?" Cen Sanniang placed the tea bowl on the table heavily.

Du Yanwan shuddered when she heard the sound of the teacup touching the table, and lowered her head guiltily: "I was wrong. Grandma... are you okay?"

Cen Sanniang hummed: "The doctor has seen it, and prescribed an antiseptic soup, and I'm resting."

Du Yanwan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Cen Sanniang eagerly.

"Come on!" Cen Sanniang got up and took her hand and sat next to her, "Do you hate me for hitting you?"

Du Yanwan had calmed down now, she shook her head and said, "I don't hate it. I know I was wrong. If we really went to the Jianguohou's mansion, our family can't stand up. I...I can't swallow that breath."

Said the eye circles are red again.

Cen Sanniang wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "If the Cui family hadn't cut off ties with our family in the past ten years. The Cui family is a talented man, and the Qinghe Cui family is a famous family. Would you reject this marriage?"

Du Yanwan said: "No ifs. Sister-in-law, do you know why grandma fainted from anger? When my father went to work, he took away my elder brother. Grandmother thought of my father's promise of my marriage with Cui Dalang, so she kept me by her side and raised me. The Cui family joked about the narrow vision in a remote place. King Jin named the crown prince, and the Cui family became the princess. Grandma was quite happy. With the Cui family, as time goes on, the matter of the uncle will gradually fade away, maybe The son was able to transfer his father back to Chang'an. I never thought that my father would be depressed and died of illness within two years of taking office. Because it was a verbal relationship, the Cui family cut off contact with our family as soon as my father left. Assuming that this relative does not exist. No matter how good Cui Dalang is, no matter how handsome he is, grandma will never agree to marry the Cui family."

The old lady is stiff.Biansheng Cui's family asked the queen to marry him.Let the old lady hold her breath so that she has nowhere to attack, can she not be dizzy?
"Sister-in-law, just tell me what you can do. I'm willing to do anything!" Du Yanwan asked stubbornly.

Cen Sanniang said with a smile: "The mountain people have their own tricks. You only let people know that you are happy with the empress's wedding, don't show any dissatisfaction. I have already told Director Du to arrange the marriage in a lively manner."

Du Yanwan was confused: "Sister-in-law, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?"

Cen Sanniang got up: "Anyway, our house is going to make a big deal of the marriage right now. When your brother comes back, he will tell you. It's best to pack up and go see grandma, don't let her worry. Understand?"

She left with a smile.Du Yanwan agreed in a daze.

After leaving Zhengqi Hall, Hei Qi has been waiting outside.Seeing her come out, Fang stepped forward and said: "Young Madam, Young Master Sun also told Madam not to let Madam know about this for now, so as not to cause her mood swings and harm her health."

Cen Sanniang nodded and said, "I've already given orders. Hei Qi, do you know what Xianggong wants to do?"

Hei Qi shook his head, and said seriously: "Young Madam, I really don't know. Young Master Sun always has his considerations when doing things. Just follow orders."

Cen Sanniang thought, anyway, Du Yansui will be back in the evening.She coaxed and lied to temporarily appease Du Yanwan.The rest depends on Du Yansui's ability.

In the evening, when Du Yansui returned to the mansion, red lanterns were hung at the gate of the mansion, and debris from firecrackers was still scattered on the steps.Even the stone lions on both sides are hung red.Knowing that the mansion had already put on a gesture of joy for the gift of marriage, he smiled.

He went straight to Zhengqi hall, saw several women looking at him eagerly, Du Yansui smiled and said: "I have already negotiated with the empress."
