Beautiful step by step

Chapter 10

In Zhenbeihou's mansion, in the main room full of flowers, Mrs. Wu was sitting on the front of the vanity mirror, stroking her unprotruded abdomen, letting Jinshu insert a golden step full of bloodstones on her hair bun.

After inserting it, she looked left and right, and Jin Yi smiled from behind: "Ma'am, the glazed mirror, which is more than a foot high, can illuminate people vividly, unlike a bronze mirror, which makes people blurry. It is Mr. Shang Shu who dotes on Madam. I heard that this It was a loot captured from the northwest, and the wives and ladies of the Shangshu Mansion only had a small piece the size of a palm, and the largest and most delicate one was moved to our Hou Mansion intact."

There is a huge age difference between the Wu family brothers and sisters. The younger sister Wu was born when the eldest brother was discussing marriage.Said she was a younger sister, but actually raised her as a daughter.Thinking of her eldest brother who has always been doting on her now in a high position, Wu frowned and smiled contentedly, but said:
"The booty that the elder brother messed up is naturally dedicated to the Holy Majesty. These small things are just found by Brother Qi from the merchants of the foreign domain, and brought back to Beijing along the way."

Jin Yi was even more flattering: "Young master and his wife grew up together, and the relationship is not normal. This time when I return to Beijing, I will spend more time with the son. In the future, the son will be an official in the court, and he will be able to help each other. The son has benefited, It will definitely hurt Madam more."

Wu pondered, since the Lantern Festival three years ago, the scholar in Tsing Yi won the ringleader by solving riddles, and the handsome figure in the lanterns all over the sky has attracted all her attention.Not long after, he inquired about the identity of the scholar. He thought that the Hou Mansion and the Jiangmen were well-matched, but it happened to make a fool of others. The Zhenbei Hou Mansion, which started with military exploits, loves reading from the Marquis to the sons.

In desperation, on the one hand, she ordered people to spread her reputation as a talented woman, and on the other hand, she secretly attacked the family in Zhenbeihou's mansion.In the end, she got her wish and married her beloved, but on the first day after marriage, when she paid her respects to her elders, she discovered that the beautiful woman who was gifted with the revolving lantern at the Lantern Festival after the eldest son won the head of the Lantern Festival was the old lady in the house. Wait for the maid Hong Ling.

Recalling that her husband had more than respect for her and not enough closeness in the past three years, Wu frowned: "You said that the old matriarch and the son couldn't think about it, let Hong Ling out early, the family will be harmonious and beautiful, and my brother will try his best to help son."

Jin Yi Yinghe: "The red silk seems to be well-behaved, but in fact it is a hidden traitor. Even Mother Wei, the mother and daughter are caged together and say they are good, and even the old lady obeys them. Fortunately, Madam is smart and decisive. The people who went out played tricks, and Mother Wei obediently took the bait, and asked you to pull out these two disturbing things in one fell swoop. Now the house is quiet, and the wife just needs to rest and rest. After giving birth to a brother, the prince will definitely value it more You, the old lady will be able to change her temper at that time."

Wu shi covered her stomach with her hands and let out a long sigh of relief.After three years of patience, it can be regarded as pulling out the eyesore.Hong Ling made her angry for three years, and almost endured internal injuries, and finally became a knife in her hand, which was used to kill the authority of the old matriarch, and it was also an outlet for her anger.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she saw the mother who sent Hong Ling to the dental clinic yesterday hurried into the yard, and knelt down after entering the door.

"Ma'am, I heard from the servant in the study that the son found something old in red silk when he was reading. He went to the old lady's room early in the morning and left the city with a gloomy face."

"what!"

Wu shi couldn't sit still and bumped against the corner of the dressing table. The pain in her ribs woke her up a bit: "Ask me where the prince is?"

"The prince didn't say anything, but news came from the maid this morning that Hong Ling was bought by a military household yesterday. If the military household wants to go back to the northwest, it must go through the post station in the west of the city."

"northwest."

Smacking these two words, Wu's eyes narrowed: "You go to Wu's house and tell brother exactly what happened."

When her mother stepped back, Wu waved her hand to refuse Jin Yi's support.Walking to the window, she looked eastward with a gloomy expression.

In front of an unremarkable courtyard in the east of the city, Yan Heng tightened his reins, got off his horse and walked back.After holding his younger brother down and helping Wei's mother out of the car, he looked at Ah Mao who came out of the car curtain last, his half-stretched hand froze in mid-air.

The man and the woman were not close, and when they were about to take it back, the green onion-like fingers had already touched his palm.The soft touch came, and there was also the unique fragrance of women, mixed with a touch of medicinal fragrance. The Oirat man, who had been smeared with animal blood on his face and had never softened his feet when he rushed over with a spear on horseback, instantly But his whole body went limp.

Wei Wei saw his blank face, with a faint blush under the wheat-colored skin, and she understood it after a little thought.What an innocent young man. In her previous life, she teamed up with Xiaozhengtai to learn ballroom dancing since kindergarten, not to mention climbing mountains and wading with donkey friends, often pulling each other up, even sleeping in a Datong bunk or squeezing into a tent. .

But don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others, and retracted his hand and wanted to jump off by himself. As soon as he bent down, his injured thigh throbbed with pain.

"hiss."

"But it's a wound? Flesh wounds are the most painful. You have to be careful when you walk on weekdays, and don't move too much. I'll help you down."

In concern, Yan Heng didn't care about other things, grabbed her arm, bent down and put his other hand around her thigh, the princess hugged her and helped her out of the carriage.When she stood still, he let go as if he had grabbed something hot, fisting and apologetic.

"excuse me."

Wei Wei said indifferently: "It's nothing."

Not only was it okay, but she also wanted to thank him for his timely action.Just now she was so painful that she couldn't stand still, and almost fell off the carriage.After standing firmly, she couldn't help but miss the healthy body that won the Hong Kong Hundred Gold Medal in her previous life, ignoring the injuries on her body, her current body is too delicate.Thinking of the golden sore medicine in Yan Heng's bag, and the wound medicine that Wei's mother brought, the main raw material is plant ash.Not to mention pain relief, even anti-inflammatory healing is slow to take effect, which made her deeply worried about the level of ancient medical treatment.Traveling to this point, having a healthy body is far more important than previous lives.

After a few more days, the injury will get better, at least until it doesn't hurt to do a few stretching exercises, and she should also pick up the things she practiced in the gym in her previous life.

Wei Wei, who was secretly planning, didn't notice that her face was a little red after being bored in the carriage, and now she was standing there with her head lowered, not daring to glance at Yan Heng, she looked so shy and shy.

Yan Heng only thought of her as being abrupt, and stood more orderly when he was at a loss, as if there was a tendency to evolve from a spear to a tree stump.

Wei's mother thought more deeply. Although her daughter lost her memory, her temperament did not change much.In the past, she had always been generous to Brother Lian, but this time she became shy for the first time, and it seemed that she had grown up.She immediately realized that if it hadn't been for the matter that the prince took over the house, she would have found a good family and asked the matchmaker to come to make peace.Although things have twists and turns, but now they are finally back to the original point.It's just that with such a reputation, it may be difficult to find a good family in Beijing.

If you can’t do it in Beijing, then look outside Beijing.Seeing Yan Heng who was a little restrained, Mother Wei's eyes lit up.But she wasn't too hot-headed. Although Yan Heng was a military member, he was an official anyway, and he looked decent.Such a person is naturally a son-in-law in the eyes of some people. With so many choices, it is inevitable that he will be concerned about Ah Mao's background and past.My own daughter is so good, she looks fresh, she has a transparent temperament, and she has a rich net worth, so she doesn't have to hang herself on this tree.Although it seems that the two are interested in each other, they have to think again.

Now that it has been taken into consideration, she can't help being a little courteous.

"Come in quickly, we have a small family, although the yard is not big, there are all the guest rooms."

He also instructed the little girl to fetch tea and dry the quilts, and after a lot of fuss, they arranged for the two brothers, and Mother Wei was finally able to enter the main room.Seeing her daughter struggling with her hair bun after washing and changing her clothes, she stepped forward to pick up the rhino horn comb.

"You, even though you forgot some things, your temper is still the same as before, and you can't comb well even a slightly complicated bun."

Wei Wei let her fiddle with it, the faces in the bronze mirror can't be seen clearly, let alone the technical work of combing hair.

"Is it really the same as before?"

"That's right, even my liking for rhino horn combs hasn't changed at all. There's a pair of horn combs in the box, and you can pick them out from a pile of wooden combs."

Mother Wei said so, so it must be the same.Surprised, Wei Wei was a little relieved, she was really afraid that people would see the clues when she got along day and night.

"In the past, my eyes were blackened. Is it really the same?"

"If you want to say it's different, it means that you are much more sensible. I always hoped that you would be sensible before, but now I wish you would never have experienced this. Mrs. Shizi's attack was a bit cruel, if I hadn't been familiar with the execution guard. , and I brought you winter cotton clothes to change into, you may suffer a lot of crimes, and the disability will be minor. Does it still hurt?"

Wei Wei remembered the pair of trousers that had been changed in the post station, and a layer of leather was sewn into the thick cotton, so the leather was pierced through.Without these protections, she would be beaten into a ball of meat.

She sighed secretly, but she shook her head: "Thanks to my mother's protection, Ah Heng gave me medicine last night. After a whole day of care, as long as the movements are not too big, it won't hurt too much."

"Aheng, this kid is really nice."

Wei Wei nodded, it was more than good, compared to the little stars that her relatives in her previous life came to seduce her, Yan Heng could be regarded as pure and pure, with the legacy of a gentleman.

Seeing this, Mother Wei tentatively said: "Then how about you promise Ah Mao to him?"

marry him?Wei Wei does not deny that she appreciates A Heng, and she has a slight liking in her appreciation, but she has never had a serious relationship in the past and present, let alone getting married.

"Mom, I'm still young, and I want to stay with you for a few more years."

Could it be that she misunderstood that her daughter didn't want to marry?Mother Wei's mind was full of thoughts. Most of the girls as old as Ah Mao had already talked about marriage, and many of them were already married.Take sister Xian, who was born in the Hou's mansion as an example, she is two months younger than Ah Mao, and she married into Weiyuan Hou's mansion at the beginning of the year.The girl's family can't be wasted, and the old girl can only go up the mountain to be a Taoist nun.

"Get married first..."

Before Wei's mother could chatter, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard, mixed with the clanging of weapons.
