Chapter 113 Climb the wall again, have you regretted it?
Chapter 113 Climb the wall again, have you regretted it?
He stroked the cat's hair again and again, humming from time to time.
Qi Fei, who was in front of him, was reporting the big and small things about the masters of the Guangping Hou Mansion that he had found in the past few days.
"Mrs. Gong's body was damaged when she was young, and she has been in poor health. Since the death of Lord Hou, her health has been deteriorating. She fell ill many times in June this year. The doctor once said that it might not last this year, but at the end of June, Mrs. Gong brought back a The famous maid, Bai Zhi, stabilized the illness for the old lady of the palace. It seems that there is no problem in living for three to five years! The nephew and daughter-in-law of the most trusted person around Mrs. Gong! Although the concierge is not important, he knows exactly who comes and goes in and out of the house every day. Let me do it! These two points alone show that although Mrs. Gong doesn't care about things, she is well aware of everything that happened in the mansion!
Guangping Hou Gongxuan, his person is consistent with the outside world's comments, he is just passing by, cowardly, incompetent, timid and lustful, but Mrs. Gong and Mrs. Gong are very strict, and only dare to go out to drink flower wine occasionally!A while ago, Mrs. Gong Shao revealed that Mrs. Gong drugged him 15 years ago, making him infertile. This matter has spread in Beijing. In order to avoid the limelight, Guangping Hou was sent back to his hometown by Mrs. Gong to worship his ancestors. .
Mrs. Gong's Jiang family is petty, narrow-minded and greedy. She framed Mrs. Gong Shao many times. On the wedding night between Mrs. Gong Shao and Prince Guangping Hou, she provoked Mrs. Guangping Hou to go to the concubine's room, causing Mrs. Gong to make a fuss and become angry. The old madam of the faint palace, sent the young lady of the palace to the countryside, and then let the accompanying maid give medicine to the young lady of the palace..."
"Wait, you said that Mrs. Gong Shao was drugged after she was sent to the countryside?" The slender hand that licked the cat stopped immediately.
"Yes!" Qi Fei took a sneak peek, "You are the one who was plotted against and injured and hid in a cave to heal your wounds, young master! Before the young master asked his subordinates to investigate, the subordinates thought that most of them were palaces. Young Madam..."
One was injured and couldn't move, and the other was drugged. The scenery in the cave, hehe...
No wonder the young master's injury did not heal for a long time afterwards. It seems that it is not the inner demon that Doctor Qin said at all. I am afraid that he did not restrain himself at the time and hurt the root, so...
According to the young master's injuries at the time, nine out of ten he was forced to...
No wonder the young master insisted on investigating the woman who passed by the cave in those few days, but he refused to say the specific reason. It turned out that he was insulted like this!
If it were him, he would definitely be eager to find that woman, take off her skin... or her clothes, and win back a city!
Qi Fei felt that he was the truth!Then he looked at Xiao Yichen with a somewhat ambiguous gaze.
The young master pointed out that he wanted to investigate Guangping Hou's family, especially Mrs. Gong Shao. It seems that the young master already knew that Mrs. Gong Shao was the woman that day!
It's just that the young master's investigation is to seize the opportunity for revenge, or is it because he is so attached to him that he has other thoughts?
"Continue." The calm and waveless voice interrupted Qi Fei's distracted thinking, and his heart shivered, "Yes, young master."
Xiao Yichen groaned in his heart, why is it most likely that woman, it's clearly that woman, okay?
It's just that he thought she was a slut at the time, and wanted to seduce him because of his beauty, but he didn't know that she was drugged to approach him. It seems that she can't be blamed for that incident On the head, he threatened to cut off her hand, but he went too far.
Xiao Yichen listened absent-mindedly to Qi Fei's report, while involuntarily recalling the situation in the cave at that time...
"No!" He exerted force with his hands, and the black cat meowed uncontrollably.
Qi Fei who was reporting was stunned for a moment, "Master, what's wrong?"
Nothing is right!Xiao Yichen's complexion was livid.
He clearly remembered that the woman approached the hook for the second time and left suddenly. If she hadn't taken the medicine off her body at that time, how could she have left?
And when he finally left, that cold snort, thinking about it now, was clearly disdainful!It means that she was sober at all at that time, and it was on purpose!She was slapping her away before taking revenge on him, and she was taking revenge on him for calling her "a wife!"
Including the night of Qixi Festival later, she knew that someone wanted to frame her with the veil, but she didn't throw it away, and deliberately handed it to him. It was clear that she had recognized him and was teasing him!
These days, he has accepted her "Water-like Flowers", but from the beginning to the end, she has been playing tricks on him, watching the show from the sidelines!
That woman, that woman... This move is even more hateful than promiscuity!
Xiao Yichen couldn't help his anger and blood surging, and he slammed his hand on the desk heavily.
The black cat in his arms felt the terrifying aura emanating from him, so he didn't dare to bark, and just slipped away quietly.
"Master...Master?"
"Continue to talk!" Xiao Yichen squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
This account should be settled first no matter what!
"Since Mrs. Gong Shao came back from Zhuangzi, Mrs. Gong deliberately framed her, and wanted to divorce her and win her dowry! But why didn't Mrs. Gong let Mrs. Gong give birth to an heir, and took the opportunity to leave the son to the mother, so as to get Mrs. Gong grandiosely? The dowry, and not hesitate to use the method of destroying her reputation and making her son wear a cuckold, this is very suspicious! The subordinates are still investigating!"
"Quick check!" He hasn't finished calculating, who dares to bully her?snort!
"Yes, master!" Qi Fei continued: "Guangping Hou Shigong Tianyu, soft-hearted and lecherous, has both the shortcomings of Guangping Hou and Mrs. Gong. Provoking confusion, being displeased with Mrs. Gong, leaving Mrs. Gong behind on the wedding night, and causing the following things..."
This Cui Yingluan, well done!Someone thought to himself.
"A few days ago, Prince Hou of Guangping made a big disturbance in the pomegranate courtyard, and was hanged upside down on a tree by Mrs. Gong's wife for a whole night. After getting drunk the next day, he met the maid Lueyue next to Mrs. Gong's, and almost ruined her innocence. Fearing that Mrs. Gong Shao would settle accounts in the fall, she went to the brothel to drink flower wine, but has not returned yet..."
Get drunk and mess around?In case that woman is alone one day and meets a drunk Miyata Yu... "Send someone to watch Miyata Yu secretly, and don't allow him to get close to anyone in the pomegranate yard!" Especially that woman.
"Master, this..." Qi Fei was in a dilemma, what's the matter with you, Master Guan, about the quarrel between the couple?
Ah, no!If Mrs. Gong's wife raped the young master in the cave, then the real husband and wife is the young master and Mrs. Gong's wife. In this way, of course, the young master can't let other men touch Mrs. Gong's wife!
Qi Fei felt that he wanted to understand the truth again, and said loudly: "Understood, young master! I will arrange people tomorrow!"
"The second lady of the Gong family, Gong Yu, is noble and quite talented. She has always been a loner. It is said that she has a lot of intentions for the position of the third concubine! A few days ago, she suddenly got in touch with Wen Ruxiang, the fifth lady of the Wen family, and planned to frame her at the Lanying Villa. Young Master, regarding the matter between you and Mrs. Gong Shao, as for the reason for her drastic change in temperament, my subordinates have not found out yet!
Gong Rou, the third lady of the palace, only wants to marry a good family. Except for the Qingyan Temple incident, which was planned by her and her biological mother Aunt Qin, she is an important accomplice in the rest of the framing of Mrs. Gong Shao!Later, when the Jiang family was imprisoned, she took refuge in Miss Gongwu, and jointly assassinated Miss Gongsi in Lanying Villa. In the end, Mr. Li disrupted the situation and harmed herself.
Speaking of Miss Gongsi, it turned out that after Mr. Li was in Qingyan Temple, he had the intention of marrying Miss Gongsi, and he didn't tell the truth until that day when he did something inappropriate to Miss Gongsi under the eyes of everyone... "
Although the matter of Li Yu and Gong Jin was shocking, it was still far from Gong Rou and Cai Yuanyu's public performance, so although there were many people talking about it, they basically all mentioned it!
Xiao Yichen has always been not very interested in these elegant things, and because of the shoulder injury and the excessive spicy food caused the wound pain, he rested at home for a few days, and because the matter of someone next door occupied most of his mind, for Li Yu and Gong Jin's matter, I didn't know until now!
It turned out that Li Yu got close to that woman before, not because she was seduced by her, but to find out about Gong Jin!
The note that Li Yu gave her the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the person mentioned above was also Gong Jin!
The suppressed anger in Xiao Yichen's heart dissipated a lot after learning the truth.
"There are also two aunts in the Gong family. One is Gong Rou's biological mother, Aunt Qin. She was originally a servant girl in the mansion. The matter of the temple was sent to the countryside;
The other is Aunt Feng, the biological mother of the fifth girl of the palace. Aunt Feng was originally the distant cousin of Mrs. Gong when she was in her natal family. Because of his gentleness and filial piety, he is loved by the Feng family.One time, Mrs. Gong's mother fell ill, and she was concerned about her daughter who was far away in the capital. Aunt Feng invited Ying to deliver a letter to the capital. After arriving in the capital, she contracted a cold, so Mrs. Gong left her in the mansion to visit her family.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Aunt Feng to get entangled with the old Marquis of Guangping.Regarding this matter, some people say that the old Guangping Hou was drunk and mistook Aunt Feng for the old lady of the palace, and some people said that Feng Auntie drugged the old Guangping Hou's wine and sent it to the door on purpose, just to stay in the capital. .It's been too long, and the truth is, I'm afraid only the living Auntie Feng knows.
Regarding Aunt Feng's temperament, judging from the news from the Feng family and the Feng family, it is a bit strange.Some say that Aunt Feng will be revenged if she has a small heart, and some say that Aunt Feng is gentle, generous, and good-natured. Because time is tight, it will take time to find out who belongs to her. "
Qi Fei took the initiative to stop, in fact, he wanted Xiao Yichen to speak up, an old aunt with no power, no power and no children, don't check.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a few breaths, no one made a sound, so I could only resign myself to my fate and continued: "As for Mrs. Gong Shao, she was raised by Mrs. Qianlu as a treasure since she was a child. Even her biological father, Uncle Ankang, wanted to get close to her. Mrs. Lu agrees. Because of the lack of contact with people, her temperament is a little weird, naive, capricious, arrogant, selfish, stupid, soft-hearted..."
"Wait, did you hear the news correctly?" Xiao Yichen interrupted, is this the woman?
Qi Fei spread his hands, "I didn't believe it at first, so I personally asked some servants of the Lu family, including some people in the Guangping Hou's mansion, that they all said so! But this is the former Mrs. Gong Shao, Hou Everyone in the manor said that since she came back from Zhuangzi, Mrs. Gong Shao's appearance has been completely changed except for her appearance! She has many strange ideas, can make beautiful and peculiar clothes, has a bold and decisive personality, is smart and shrewd. It's like a different person... Young master, you... But what do you think is wrong?"
A person's temperament suddenly changes, of course something is wrong!But if he returns to his previous temperament, I'm afraid it will be even more unacceptable!
"What else? Continue!"
"Mrs. Gong Shao's dowry's subordinates sent people to check it out. Judging from the information so far, it is really quite scary! When Mrs. Qianlu handed her over to Mrs. Gong before she died, she said that she wanted to see it with her own eyes. When my daughter got married, I was actually worried that after she left, with Mrs. Gong's original temperament, she would be eaten up by the Lu family! But the former Mrs. Lu probably didn't expect that someone would covet her and leave it to her in the Guangping Hou Mansion. Daughter's dowry! After analyzing the whole situation, I always feel that there are some unknown forces secretly plotting behind, otherwise Mrs. Gong's unreasonable behavior can't be explained!"
"Your analysis is right! Everything that goes against common sense must have hidden secrets behind it! Continue to investigate!"
"Yes! Young Master!" Qi Fei, who received such affirmative praise, was immediately overwhelmed and motivated, "By the way, Master, my subordinates have also found out the people under Madam Gong Shao, Uncle Tian, Bai Zhi, Qing Tong, Mr. Li... All of them come from different backgrounds, Uncle Tian was originally named Tian Cheng, he is the younger brother of the owner of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets..."
After Qi Fei explained everyone's background one by one, he finally said: "After the Lanying Villa incident, Mrs. Gong Shao intends to build her own power secretly, and now Uncle Tian is recruiting troops outside, young master, look, do we want to put someone in here?" ?”
"Choose ten all-round players from the hall and send them in!"
ten?All-rounder?Qi Fei wished he could slap himself. If an all-around expert cut off his finger, sending away ten would mean breaking his hands?
"Young Master, it's just to be inserted in, so you don't need to send such a good person?"
"It's not an arrangement, it's a gift!" Xiao Yichen said lightly: "From now on, those ten people must fully obey the instructions of Mrs. Gong Shao, and they must not have two hearts!"
"Master!" Qi Fei couldn't help but protest, do you know how much effort it takes to train ten talents with excellent intelligence, martial arts, strategy and heart?Just give it away for nothing?Even if Mrs. Gong Shao is your actual... madam, you can't pamper her like this, can you?
Xiao Yichen slowly raised his eyes, and there was an irresistible majesty in the glazed eyes, "Continue to report if you have something to do, and go to rest if you have nothing to do!"
Qi Fei could only hold back the bleeding heart, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yichen with both hands, and continued to report, "News from the southwest front line, not long ago the Wacha State invaded, General Li led troops to stop it with all his strength, but The opponent has been plotting for a long time, and our army has retreated steadily, and has retreated to the Qiyun Mountain east of the Mo River. Based on this situation, General Li may not be able to support it for two months! According to the judgment of the subordinates, after half a month at most, General Li Then they will send someone to ask the emperor for help. Now several generals in Beijing have been sent to various places, and the rest of them either have no ambitions, or are greedy for life and fear of death! Except for you, young master, there is no more suitable person in the court! You, young master The time has come for you to show off your skills and feel proud, brothers!"
After Qi Fei left, Xiao Yichen got up and walked to the bookshelf on the left, took down a landscape painting on the wall, stretched out his hand and pushed the place where the painting was originally hung, the wall suddenly moved up, revealing a small square black hole.
There was a brocade box carved in black gold wood, Xiao Yichen carefully took it out, and returned to the desk with an almost pious expression on his face.
He gently opened the lock cover, took out several pieces of cowhide from it, and spread them out on the desk one by one.
Each cowhide is painted with mountains, rivers, forests and rivers, and when several pieces are put together, it is actually a map of the Tianwu Kingdom!
Some of the cowhide scrolls have turned yellow, and the markings have begun to blur, while some are newly added, and the black ink is smooth and clear, some have been altered, and some have not changed.
This map is the painstaking effort of several generations of ancestors of the Xiao family!It cost the Xiao family countless money!
The Xiao family followed the first generation of Emperor Tianwu to fight the world, made great military exploits, and was named the general of the country. Successive generations of descendants are brave and good at fighting, and their prestige in the army exceeds anyone, including the emperors of all dynasties.
And the reason why the Xiao family is invincible on the battlefield is because of this map. The ancestors of the Xiao family have a saying that leading an army in battle must follow the four laws: the law of the heavens and the earth, the sky is the time of the sky, the earth is the terrain, the generals are the generals, and the law is the system.
The terrain is the map. Only with a full understanding of the geographical environment, such as the distance, roughness and flatness, whether to attack and defend, etc., can we lead our troops to the final victory if we can truly strategize!
Xiao Yichen looked at the terrain of Southwest Anchu, moved his fingers on it, drew a sand table in his mind, and practiced the battle.
I don't know how many times I did it, until I determined several feasible solutions, I put the cowhide away, put it into a brocade box, and put it back in place.
He rubbed his tired eyes and looked outside. At this time, the moon was rising in midair, as bright as water.
"Meow", a flattering meow at the foot broke the silence in the study.
Xiao Yichen's thoughts were brought back to reality from the battle of killing the enemy with thousands of troops in his mind. Unexpectedly, he thought of the purpose of buying this black cat, and then thought of that woman.
Thinking of her deliberate teasing, the anger that had been suppressed in her heart slowly rose again.
Xiao Yichen picked up the black cat and piglet in his feet, and gently stroked the cat's fur, "I've raised you for a few days, and it's time for you to show off. I don't keep useless things in my house."
The black cat and the little pig chrysanthemum are tight: meow~
One person and one cat walked through the courtyard, stepped on the moonlight, came to the collapsed wall, and walked leisurely directly to the pomegranate courtyard.
Everything is silent, because the moonlight is bright, and the lanterns in the pomegranate courtyard are all extinguished. The swings, deck chairs, sun umbrellas are all available in the courtyard, and they have returned to the appearance of the previous few days. Under the moonlight, they stand in an eternal posture.
The parrot named Little Tail on the iron shelf under the eaves, with its head buried in its wings and one foot tucked up, apparently also fell asleep.
However, it seems to be very alert to danger. When it senses that danger is approaching, it immediately wakes up, with small round eyes.
When it saw the group of black natural enemies, its wings fluttered in panic, and when it was about to scream "There are thieves", that extremely beautiful human suddenly stretched out an index finger and put it in his lips, with a small tail I know, that means shut up and keep quiet.
It looked at the person and the cat in horror, only to see that the person put the black cat on the ground and made another silent movement.
Does it mean to keep it quiet and let it go?
The black cat and piggy flashed its little paws in warning, and its little tail almost fell off the iron frame.
I know Brother Cat, I don’t want to make a sound, okay?Just sit there and watch me, don't come over and get in touch with me, you know?I am born and shy, I can't bear your enthusiasm!
Xiao Yichen gently pushed open the door, and floated into Lu Xinyan's room like a white ghost.
When he stretched out his hand to touch the woman's sleeping hole on the bed, Lu Xinyan, who had her eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them.
One person stretched out his hand, the other stared at him, and time suddenly seemed to be frozen.
"Xiao Shizi, you are so elegant." Lu Xinyan came back to her senses first, yawned very indecently, then sat up slowly, folded her hands on the quilt, and smiled teasingly at Xiao Yichen, "If I don't remember Wrong, Xiao Shizi hates people who do not obey the rules and behave inappropriately, so how to explain Xiao Shizi's behavior tonight? Sleepwalking?"
A certain person who was caught on the spot showed no panic or guilt about being caught. Instead, Shi Shiran walked to the table and sat down, the corners of his lips curling slightly, "I suddenly remembered my hand in the middle of the night, let's take a look." Is it? If Ms. Lu is not willing, then I will take it and put it in my house to watch?"
In front of Mrs. Gong Shao and behind Miss Lu, Lu Xinyan didn't have time to think about what this person meant, because she choked on his words, "I'll take it now".
She stared at his face, carefully observing his facial expression by the moonlight, trying to judge whether what he said was true or not.
The moonlight softly shone on one side of his face, the bridge of his nose was straight, his thin lips were lightly pursed, in the half-light and half-darkness, his facial features became more profound, blurred and moving, his expression was as cold as ever.
Lu Xinyan curled her lips, thinking that it was impossible for him to cut off her hand, but she didn't dare to bet on it.
So the hand on the autumn-colored quilt slowly spread out, "Want to see it? Please just watch it!"
His slender fingers were as tender as green onions, as if carved from white jade, Xiao Yichen beckoned, "Come here."
Lu Xinyan gritted her teeth and smiled, "Xiao Shizi, aren't you afraid that I'm not wearing anything underneath?"
Liuli's eyes darkened calmly, "If you don't wear it, just wear it well, it shouldn't be, I won't read it, besides, what's so good about it."
Even if you are a fairy and stand in front of me naked, the tone that I would not care about, deeply angered Lu Xinyan.
Fame guy!I don't believe that this girl can't cure you anymore!
She lifted the quilt rudely, strode to the table and sat next to Xiao Yichen, and put her hands in front of him, "Xiao Shizi, are you satisfied?"
Xiao Yichen grabbed her wrist, he didn't know if he wanted to see those hands better, or what, he pulled her closer, so close that he could feel the breath of both of them.
The eyes of the man in front of him were slightly drooping, and the verdant and slender eyelashes could be counted. After counting for a while, Lu Xinyan deliberately asked: "How did you come in? My little tail is awake. A few nights ago, he called out for a thief." Woolen cloth."
Then she opened her eyes, "You didn't kill Xiaowei, did you? Xiaohe is a treasure, she won't give up without a parrot feather!"
Someone slowly raised his eyes, the glazed eyes under the moonlight were like a pale emptiness, which could directly suck the soul of a person, "I bought a black cat..."
Lu Xinyan was absent-minded for a moment, and subconsciously hummed.
"Give it a name..."
"What's your name?" Lu Xinyan cooperated subconsciously, completely unaware that she had jumped into someone's trap.
"Little pig, a pig called pork..."
Little pig, little Zhu, little bead, bead bead? "What?" Lu Xinyan suddenly recovered, gritted her teeth and repeated, "Little pig?"
It's really annoying, just now I was distracted by the beauty and asked such a stupid question!Lu Xinyan scolded herself secretly.
That belated appearance clearly pleased someone, and he said happily, "Yes, little pig, I'm in the yard right now, staring at your little tail, as long as it dares to bark, the little pig will eat it right away." it."
Aniang, Aniang, what name is hard to choose for you, you want to give me a nickname Zhuzhu, if you know it is like a jewel, if you don’t know it, you will think that even pigs and dogs are inferior, such as the one in front of you, And again and again, use the name to make fun of me!
Lu Xinyan snorted secretly, "Xiao Shizi, have you finished reading this hand?"
Xiao Yichen lowered his eyes, and answered irrelevant questions, "In the cave, when you offended me, the medicine on your body had already expired, right? On Qixi night, you deliberately slipped the hand into my hand because you recognized me on purpose, right?"
Lu Xinyan's heart skipped a beat, what does this mean, come to Qiu Hou to settle accounts again? "Xiao Shizi, didn't I agree to give you this hand? What do you mean by bringing up the old matter now?"
After finishing speaking, she suddenly turned her eyes and chuckled, "Elder Xiao still feels that he wants to go back on his word, and he will only be angry if he comes back? If he is a concubine, he would definitely wish for it! What does Shizi Xiao want not to come back?"
She couldn't help laughing at someone in her heart, being prudish!hypocrite!
Xiao Yichen's hand was gradually exerting force, and the small hand in the palm of his hand was gradually turning red, Lu Xinyan called out tenderly, "Oh, Mr. Xiao, you hurt my concubine."
Xiao Yichen suddenly let go of his hands and got up, but Lu Xinyan, who wanted to lean on him, was caught off guard and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"Ouch."
The atmosphere that was finally created suddenly disappeared without a trace.
A pleasant chuckle came from above her head, Lu Xinyan just wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in, but how could she be so easy to admit defeat?
Gently lifted up her hair with her slender hand, sat back on the stool in an extremely elegant and charming posture, then slowly raised her hand, regretfully said: "Since Prince Xiao doesn't appreciate it, forget it."
The slight smile on Xiao Yichen's face couldn't help froze.
"Master Xiao, it's even more serious. My body is thin, and I'm afraid I'll catch the wind and cold after sitting for a long time. If Mr. Xiao has seen enough of your 'hands', can you let me sit on the bed?"
Xiao Yichen looked at the little face that seemed to be a little pale under the moonlit night, and secretly scolded himself for being careless, but when the worried words came to his lips, they turned into accusations, "You are such a big man, don't you even feel cold? Why didn't you say it in the first place?"
Dare it be my fault?Lu Xinyan stared at him several times in anger.
"Why are you still sitting here?" Someone raised his voice with a bit of anger.
I really want to kick this guy to death!Lu Xinyan angrily walked to the edge of the bed and lay down, pulled the quilt directly over her head, wrapped herself in the shape of a rice dumpling, and said in a muffled voice, "Go slowly, I won't see you off!"
Xiao Yichen stood motionless for a long while, he didn't know if he was annoyed by Lu Xinyan's attitude or something, before he left, he said in a deep voice, "If you don't feel well when you wake up tomorrow morning, remember to ask Bai Zhi to feel your pulse."
He turned around and took two steps, then turned back suddenly, "Where's the quilt? I'll get you another quilt and cover it up."
"No, you go."
After a while, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets came, and Lu Xinyan got her head out of the quilt, "What are you doing?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her body suddenly became heavy, and a quilt pressed on her body, wrapping her like a fat silkworm baby.
Lu Xinyan couldn't move, and couldn't help complaining, "Xiao Shizi, do you hate me and want to kill me for revenge?"
Someone held her down, "You just caught a cold, Gaiduo sweated a little, and you'll be fine tomorrow morning."
"I don't catch a cold, the wind is not cold, what does it matter to you?" Lu Xinyan cut a disdainful voice, "Can you please go quickly? People know that you are in my room in the middle of the night. You are a royal family. You are fine, but I am You will be soaked in a pig cage!"
An ignorant woman!Xiao Yichen was so angry that he wanted to run away, but his feet seemed to be rooted and he couldn't move.
Unable to hit or scold, Xiao Yichen, who was secretly angry for a long time, finally had to soften, "You obediently cover yourself with the blanket, and the matter of deliberately teasing me in the cave and Qixi Festival before, is wiped out."
"You mean you gave me back my hand?" Lu Xinyan's eyes lit up.
"Beautiful thinking!" Someone tapped her forehead, "Don't overdo it, the hand is still mine, I keep it here for now, I thought it was an unintentional mistake before, so I just chopped off my hand, now I know you are teasing on purpose, According to my nature, what I want to cut off is not your hands, but your head!"
This gesture was too intimate, but neither of them noticed it. When Lu Xinyan heard the beheading, she only felt that her neck was cold. How could she have any other thoughts?
"Okay, it's settled like this!" After he left, it would be fine for her to lift the quilt again, so she agreed first before talking.
"Don't try to play tricks!" Xiao Yichen snorted coldly, "If you let me know that you are sick tomorrow, it means that you have violated my conditions, then wash your neck and wait for me!"
Lu Xinyan pursed her lips, "Got it!"
After Xiao Yichen left, Lu Xinyan lay motionless on the bed until she was sweating all over, got up and changed into a set of clean pajamas, then climbed back to bed and fell asleep.
By this time, she was already sleepy to death, and she didn't even have the thought of slandering Xiao Yichen.
Early the next morning, Qingtong yawned and knocked on Lu Xinyan's door, "Miss, it's time to get up, I'm going to attend the tea tasting party today."
Lu Xinyan opened her eyes reluctantly, and said lazily, "Come in."
After Qingtong came in, she suddenly remembered that although there was not much movement last night, others in the courtyard could not hear it, so there is no reason why Qingtong could not hear it?
Lu Xinyan narrowed her eyes, and said slowly: "Qingtong, did you sleep well yesterday?"
Qingtong chuckled, "To tell you the truth, I took Bai Zhi to review the Bingyu Biography last night, and I only fell asleep in the middle of the night, and I slept quite soundly."
Seeing the dangerous gleam in Lu Xinyan's eyes after hearing this, she hurriedly changed the subject, "Miss, why did you cover two quilts last night? Is it so cold?"
Lu Xinyan: "...I'm afraid the weather will change, so take precautions in advance."
Qingtong: It's only mid-September, so it's early!
"What's the matter with the wet clothes over there? Was the lady sick last night?"
"Last night, I couldn't sleep and got up and walked for a while and wet my clothes." Lu Xinyan was afraid that she would show her feet, and waved her hand, "Okay, go and ask Bai Zhi to get ready to go out."
"Yes, ma'am."
The location of the Tea Tasting Poetry Club is in a manor in the south of the city, Furong Mountain Villa, hence the name Siyi. The most famous thing in it is the hibiscus flower, which can be white or pink or vermilion.
It is said that there is a rare species called Drunken Hibiscus, the flower color is white and red at dusk, and many people go there admiringly.
At this time, mid-September is the time when hibiscus flowers are in full bloom. Coupled with the annual tea tasting and poetry meeting, Furong Villa is very lively, with fragrant cars and BMWs, and sweet and witty chatter.
When Lu Xinyan and the others came, there was only a red-covered carriage. Among the many luxurious and exquisite carriages, it did not attract much attention.
Until Shen Yuyan, one of the chairpersons, came to greet her in person. The lotus root silk pipa skirt and the pleated skirt scattered with flowers, water mist and green grass were elegant and moving, and the smile on her lips was like a spring breeze. "Madam Gong, can you please?" It is really an honor for the poetry club to come here to show your face."
It turned out that she was Mrs. Gong Shao who won the first place in the Huayi Festival!No wonder the clothes on her body are so beautiful.
Lu Xinyan is wearing a cloud brocade skirt with flowing flowers and dark patterns today, covered with a layer of light lilac-colored gauze. The gauze is different in that there is no open front, but an ultramarine girdle in the middle from the hood to the feet. , the slender figure is fully displayed, elegant and free and easy, just one stop, you can stand out from the crowd.
At the Huayi Festival before, because the stands were far away, most people only knew the name of Lu Xinyan, but they didn't really see her real face.
As soon as Shen Yuyan yelled, the girls and boys who passed by stopped to watch.
Lu Xinyan smiled, as beautiful as a hibiscus in full bloom, "Miss Shen has won the prize, it is my honor to be invited by Miss Shen personally."
Shen Yuyan came forward to invite her affectionately, as if the previous rift between the two had never happened, "Mrs. Gong Shao, let me take you to meet the persons in charge of this poetry meeting."
She showed her generosity in front of people, and Lu Xinyan would not tear her down, her smile became more elegant and decent, "Miss Lao Chen."
The organizers of the Tea Tasting Poetry Club are four men and one woman, and this woman is naturally Shen Yuyan. Among the remaining four men, one is Shen Yuyan's elder brother Shen Qingzhu, and the other three, who impressed Lu Xinyan more, are Shang Shujia from the Ministry of Industry Yan Yulang, the 17-year-old eldest grandson of his father, is as his name suggests, with a face like a beautiful jade, a tall body, and a humble and gentle son.
This Yan Yulang is also a well-known young master in Beijing, Xiao Yichen has never talked about marriage because he is not close to women, Gongsun Mobai is hindered in getting married because of his womanly face, Li Yu is in decline because of his family and has a penchant for love, In addition, Xiao Dong is picky and has never been able to talk about a good marriage. Yan Yulang is because he is too good and his vision is too high. Although there are many people to choose from, no one has been able to fall into his eyes, and he has not talked about marriage so far. .
"I have heard for a long time that Mrs. Gong Shao is ethereal, clear, and unparalleled in beauty. When I see you today, she really lives up to her reputation!" Yan Yulang smiled and praised without hesitation.
His eyes were clean and pure, without any distracting thoughts. Lu Xinyan thanked generously: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan is extravagant and elegant, and his demeanor is not far from the rumors."
"Hahaha!" Yan Yulang laughed heartily. It's rare to see such a generous and unaffected woman. worthy of that reputation."
This person is really cute, Lu Xinyan was about to answer the words, Shen Qingzhu's eyes wavered slightly, and Shen Yuyan, whose smile was fixed on the vermilion lips, took two steps forward, smiling lightly, "Mr. Yan, I'm sorry, Princess Changping told me before." , if Mrs. Gong Shao is here, I have to take her to say hello to her."
Yan Yulang cupped his hands and said: "Mrs. Gong, Yan has heard that the poems on the Qixi Festival night and the poems of Wuyanghoufu are all written by Mrs. Gong. I am looking forward to Mrs. Gong's performance today. I will see you later."
Lu Xinyan nodded and smiled, and saluted gracefully, "My lords, take my leave."
"Mrs. Gong Shao, the princess is in the osmanthus garden over there, admiring the flowers and throwing pots with all the ladies. Go this way, and you will be there soon."
"Miss Shen, please lead the way."
"Madam Gong Shao doesn't have to be so polite." Shen Yuyan took her arm affectionately, "I used to be narrow-minded, and I was not convinced after losing to Madam Gong Shao last time, so my words and deeds offended me a lot, but after being enlightened by my grandfather Finally, I figured it out, there is no limit to learning, and there will always be people who are stronger than me on the road of life. I can’t be jealous when I meet a stronger person, but I should not be ashamed to ask others and work hard to explore. One day I will have better achievements. So Please forgive me for my ignorance before, from now on, please give me some advice from Mrs. Gong Shao."
"It's best for Ms. Shen to think like this, but I've already said that those poems are not written by me, they are just hearsay and borrowed! With Ms. Shen's talent, I can't afford to give advice."
Regardless of Shen Yuyan's purpose in saying these words, Lu Xinyan spoke the truth.
But Shen Yuyan obviously took her as an excuse, "Threesomes, there must be my teacher. Even if Mrs. Gong Shao can't give guidance in poetry, other aspects are always available, such as making clothes, making sachets and so on!"
She took out an exquisite purple sachet embroidered with golden osmanthus from her sleeve, "I almost forgot, I sewed a sachet two days ago, and put some medicinal herbs in it, and I specially planned to give it to Mrs. Gong Shao as an apology today." Madam Gong Shao, you must accept it, otherwise I think you are still angry with me."
She couldn't help but gesture towards Lu Xinyan, "This color matches Madam Gong's body, Madam Gong, let me put it on for you."
"Hiss, wait!" Lu Xinyan frowned suddenly, covering her stomach with one hand, with a troubled expression on her face.
Shen Yuyan's hands froze in mid-air, "Mrs. Gong Shao, what are you?"
"I... suddenly feel anxious!" Lu Xinyan said in embarrassment: "I drank two bowls of porridge in the morning, and now my stomach is a little distended. Miss Shen, is there a latrine near here? I want to solve it first, so as not to wait for others to see It’s not good for the princess to be disgraceful.”
Seeing that Shen Yuyan was stunned for a while, Lu Xinyan said again: "Since Ms. Shen is not clear, then I will ask someone else! Bai Zhi, take the sachet sent by Ms. Shen and keep it together with my cloak. Put it on after you come out of the hut."
"Yes, Miss." Bai Zhi took the purple sachet from Shen Yuyan's hand calmly, with a dark purple cloak hanging on one arm, and the sachet in the other hand.
Shen Yuyan came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "I was just thinking about where the nearest hut is, and I was too absorbed in thinking about it. You are not familiar with this villa, so I'll take Mrs. Gong Shao there."
"That's Miss Lao Chen." Lu Xinyan said: "The hut is filthy, so that this sachet won't be contaminated with unclean air, Bai Zhi, you wait here for us to come back."
"Got it, miss."
Shen Yuyan's smile became brighter, "Mrs. Gong Shao, this way."
After going to the hut to clean their hands, they returned to the original place, and Bai Zhi tied the sachet around Lu Xinyan's waist in front of Shen Yuyan.
"Miss Shen has such a good eye. After wearing this sachet, it really adds a lot to my whole outfit." Lu Xinyan praised with a smile.
Shen Yuyan covered her lips and smiled lightly, "Mrs. Gong was born well, and this dress is exquisite, which is why it has such an effect. Let's go quickly, lest the princess wait for a long time."
After walking two steps, she suddenly said to the servant girl beside her, "I was in a hurry just now, and I forgot to tell my eldest brother about something, Xiaocao, go and tell the eldest son, the prizes ordered for today's winners haven't arrived yet. Let the eldest son go to remind you!"
"Yes, miss, this servant will do it now."
Passing through a rugged path, several people came to the plum garden, "Sister, please let me know that Yu Yan and Mrs. Gong Shao are asking to see the princess."
The maid outside the plum garden blessed, "Miss Shen, Mrs. Gong, the princess accidentally wet her clothes while drinking tea, and now she is going to the wing room to change. Please wait here for a while, Miss Shen and Mrs. Gong. , or go to another place to play for a while and come back again.”
"Mrs. Gong Shao, there is a quiet pavilion over there with a very nice view. How about we go over there and wait for the princess to come back?"
Lu Xinyan nodded noncommittally, "According to Miss Shen."
The pavilion that Shen Yuyan mentioned is called the pavilion, not far from the plum garden, it is very quiet, the terrain is quite high, sitting in it, the flowers bloom in the distance, the maple leaves are like fire, the mountains and rocks are steep, intertwined together, it has a magnificent beauty.
"Miss Shen really knows about this Furong Villa, and she was able to find such a beautiful and quiet place."
"Young Madam Gong is overwhelmed. As one of the organizers of the Poetry Tasting Club, I must be familiar with the terrain so that the guests feel at home."
"Ah, what Ms. Shen said reminded me that there are a lot of guests at this poetry meeting. As one of the organizers, Ms. Shen should greet other guests. Now that she spends so much time on me, I feel very uneasy. "Lu Xinyan said guiltily: "Miss Shen, why don't you go and do your work first. The two maids and I will wait here for a while, and then we can go to see the princess by ourselves."
"Young Madam Gong is an important guest of this poetry meeting, and she is worthy of my private reception, and I also have something to report to the princess, if I leave at this time, it will take more time to go back and forth, Madam Gong, don't blame yourself! "Shen Yuyan changed the subject in an instant, "By the way, Mrs. Gong, when will the clothes on the Huayi Festival start to be sold? Several of my sisters are clamoring to buy them. Mrs. Gong asked about the time and wanted to be the first to buy."
"I have handed over this matter to Master Ye of Suranfang. It will be listed in the market about seven days after entering the palace to perform, that is, around the beginning of October."
Shen Yuyan was surprised and said: "Mrs. Gong Shao and Master Ye...cooperate?"
Lu Xinyan said: "That's right, we are now a partnership, but I am only responsible for providing design drawings. As for all other operations, Ye Da has full authority to intervene, and I will ignore them."
Shen Yuyan was thoughtful, "No wonder at the Huayi Festival, Master Ye would suddenly appear and help Mrs. Gong Shao to prove the plagiarism..."
As if she felt that she had said something wrong, she quickly waved her hand and explained hastily, "Mrs. Gong Shao, I don't mean anything else. It's not that Master Ye is partial to you and intentionally distorting the facts..."
It's all so obvious, why don't you say anything else?Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, but didn't take it seriously, "Miss Shen, don't worry, as long as you don't think too much, I won't think too much."
As soon as those clothes are on the market, her cooperative relationship with Ye Shuang will be exposed sooner or later. Instead of everyone talking about it, it is better to let her speak out in advance.
Concubine Kong Shu's plagiarism case at the Huayi Festival has been settled, Lu Xinyan has a clear conscience, and these people can't figure out anything about her cooperation with Ye Shuang!
"Mrs. Gong Shao said so, I am relieved. When the time comes, I will definitely bring my sisters to join in the show!" Shen Yuyan smiled, looked in the direction of the plum garden and let out a sigh, "It seems that the princess is here. Wait a minute, young lady, I will ask."
"How can I let Miss Shen go in person?" Lu Xinyan stretched out her hand to hold her, "Qingtong, you are walking fast, go and have a look. If the princess comes back, then wave your hand from below, if not, then wave your hand."
"Understood, Miss." Qing Tong responded and left.
Qingtong quickly walked to the entrance of the plum garden, chatted with the maid guarding there, then walked to an open space that could be seen from the gazebo, and waved her hand to indicate that the princess hadn't come yet.
Lu Xinyan waved to her, gesturing for her to come back, at this moment a maid suddenly appeared, pulled Qingtong and said a few words, her face was full of anxiety, as if she wanted to ask her for help.
Shen Yuyan snorted, "That maid seems to be in trouble and needs help, Mrs. Gong, look..."
Lu Xinyan waved her hand, "Since I've come to you, please help, it's just a matter of lifting my hands."
Qingtong at the bottom understood the meaning of her gesture, nodded, and followed the maid.
"Mrs. Gong Shao is really kind." Shen Yuyan couldn't help but praise.
Lu Xinyan smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter, and it's nothing to worry about. If it were Miss Shen, she would definitely do the same thing as me."
"Mrs. Gong Shao, look over there!" Shen Yuyan pointed to the distance as if discovering something novel, "There is a piece of white hibiscus over there, looking from a distance, does it look like floating clouds in the sky?"
Lu Xinyan looked in the direction of her finger, "It really is beautiful, as white as jade and as bright as moonlight."
Shen Yuyan sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have the chance to take a closer look today."
"Why is this so difficult?" Lu Xinyan said, "Bai Zhi, go pick some white hibiscus flowers for Miss Shen to watch."
"Why is this so embarrassing?" Shen Yuyan quickly refused.
"It's nothing, I just want to see it too. Bai Zhi, put the cloak here, you can go."
"Yes, Miss." Bai Zhi put the cloak on the stone table in the pavilion, saluted and left.
"Thank you Madam Gong Shao!" Shen Yuyan showed a grateful expression.
"It's just a small matter, Miss Shen is too polite."
The two chatted again, and Lu Xinyan put her hand on her forehead, panting slightly, "I feel a little dizzy."
Shen Yuyan hurriedly said: "Mrs. Gong Shao, are you okay? I'll find someone to take a look for you."
Lu Xinyan grabbed her hand, "No need, it's good that Miss Shen stays here with me."
"This can't be done! The dizziness can be big or small, so don't hide it from the doctor! Wait a minute, I'll bring someone here right away."
Shen Yuyan was about to break free, but found that the hand on her wrist was so strong that she couldn't break free.
(Tao) The law of heaven and earth comes from Sun Tzu's art of war, and the wind and rain have abandoned the previous Tao (politics).
(End of this chapter)
He stroked the cat's hair again and again, humming from time to time.
Qi Fei, who was in front of him, was reporting the big and small things about the masters of the Guangping Hou Mansion that he had found in the past few days.
"Mrs. Gong's body was damaged when she was young, and she has been in poor health. Since the death of Lord Hou, her health has been deteriorating. She fell ill many times in June this year. The doctor once said that it might not last this year, but at the end of June, Mrs. Gong brought back a The famous maid, Bai Zhi, stabilized the illness for the old lady of the palace. It seems that there is no problem in living for three to five years! The nephew and daughter-in-law of the most trusted person around Mrs. Gong! Although the concierge is not important, he knows exactly who comes and goes in and out of the house every day. Let me do it! These two points alone show that although Mrs. Gong doesn't care about things, she is well aware of everything that happened in the mansion!
Guangping Hou Gongxuan, his person is consistent with the outside world's comments, he is just passing by, cowardly, incompetent, timid and lustful, but Mrs. Gong and Mrs. Gong are very strict, and only dare to go out to drink flower wine occasionally!A while ago, Mrs. Gong Shao revealed that Mrs. Gong drugged him 15 years ago, making him infertile. This matter has spread in Beijing. In order to avoid the limelight, Guangping Hou was sent back to his hometown by Mrs. Gong to worship his ancestors. .
Mrs. Gong's Jiang family is petty, narrow-minded and greedy. She framed Mrs. Gong Shao many times. On the wedding night between Mrs. Gong Shao and Prince Guangping Hou, she provoked Mrs. Guangping Hou to go to the concubine's room, causing Mrs. Gong to make a fuss and become angry. The old madam of the faint palace, sent the young lady of the palace to the countryside, and then let the accompanying maid give medicine to the young lady of the palace..."
"Wait, you said that Mrs. Gong Shao was drugged after she was sent to the countryside?" The slender hand that licked the cat stopped immediately.
"Yes!" Qi Fei took a sneak peek, "You are the one who was plotted against and injured and hid in a cave to heal your wounds, young master! Before the young master asked his subordinates to investigate, the subordinates thought that most of them were palaces. Young Madam..."
One was injured and couldn't move, and the other was drugged. The scenery in the cave, hehe...
No wonder the young master's injury did not heal for a long time afterwards. It seems that it is not the inner demon that Doctor Qin said at all. I am afraid that he did not restrain himself at the time and hurt the root, so...
According to the young master's injuries at the time, nine out of ten he was forced to...
No wonder the young master insisted on investigating the woman who passed by the cave in those few days, but he refused to say the specific reason. It turned out that he was insulted like this!
If it were him, he would definitely be eager to find that woman, take off her skin... or her clothes, and win back a city!
Qi Fei felt that he was the truth!Then he looked at Xiao Yichen with a somewhat ambiguous gaze.
The young master pointed out that he wanted to investigate Guangping Hou's family, especially Mrs. Gong Shao. It seems that the young master already knew that Mrs. Gong Shao was the woman that day!
It's just that the young master's investigation is to seize the opportunity for revenge, or is it because he is so attached to him that he has other thoughts?
"Continue." The calm and waveless voice interrupted Qi Fei's distracted thinking, and his heart shivered, "Yes, young master."
Xiao Yichen groaned in his heart, why is it most likely that woman, it's clearly that woman, okay?
It's just that he thought she was a slut at the time, and wanted to seduce him because of his beauty, but he didn't know that she was drugged to approach him. It seems that she can't be blamed for that incident On the head, he threatened to cut off her hand, but he went too far.
Xiao Yichen listened absent-mindedly to Qi Fei's report, while involuntarily recalling the situation in the cave at that time...
"No!" He exerted force with his hands, and the black cat meowed uncontrollably.
Qi Fei who was reporting was stunned for a moment, "Master, what's wrong?"
Nothing is right!Xiao Yichen's complexion was livid.
He clearly remembered that the woman approached the hook for the second time and left suddenly. If she hadn't taken the medicine off her body at that time, how could she have left?
And when he finally left, that cold snort, thinking about it now, was clearly disdainful!It means that she was sober at all at that time, and it was on purpose!She was slapping her away before taking revenge on him, and she was taking revenge on him for calling her "a wife!"
Including the night of Qixi Festival later, she knew that someone wanted to frame her with the veil, but she didn't throw it away, and deliberately handed it to him. It was clear that she had recognized him and was teasing him!
These days, he has accepted her "Water-like Flowers", but from the beginning to the end, she has been playing tricks on him, watching the show from the sidelines!
That woman, that woman... This move is even more hateful than promiscuity!
Xiao Yichen couldn't help his anger and blood surging, and he slammed his hand on the desk heavily.
The black cat in his arms felt the terrifying aura emanating from him, so he didn't dare to bark, and just slipped away quietly.
"Master...Master?"
"Continue to talk!" Xiao Yichen squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
This account should be settled first no matter what!
"Since Mrs. Gong Shao came back from Zhuangzi, Mrs. Gong deliberately framed her, and wanted to divorce her and win her dowry! But why didn't Mrs. Gong let Mrs. Gong give birth to an heir, and took the opportunity to leave the son to the mother, so as to get Mrs. Gong grandiosely? The dowry, and not hesitate to use the method of destroying her reputation and making her son wear a cuckold, this is very suspicious! The subordinates are still investigating!"
"Quick check!" He hasn't finished calculating, who dares to bully her?snort!
"Yes, master!" Qi Fei continued: "Guangping Hou Shigong Tianyu, soft-hearted and lecherous, has both the shortcomings of Guangping Hou and Mrs. Gong. Provoking confusion, being displeased with Mrs. Gong, leaving Mrs. Gong behind on the wedding night, and causing the following things..."
This Cui Yingluan, well done!Someone thought to himself.
"A few days ago, Prince Hou of Guangping made a big disturbance in the pomegranate courtyard, and was hanged upside down on a tree by Mrs. Gong's wife for a whole night. After getting drunk the next day, he met the maid Lueyue next to Mrs. Gong's, and almost ruined her innocence. Fearing that Mrs. Gong Shao would settle accounts in the fall, she went to the brothel to drink flower wine, but has not returned yet..."
Get drunk and mess around?In case that woman is alone one day and meets a drunk Miyata Yu... "Send someone to watch Miyata Yu secretly, and don't allow him to get close to anyone in the pomegranate yard!" Especially that woman.
"Master, this..." Qi Fei was in a dilemma, what's the matter with you, Master Guan, about the quarrel between the couple?
Ah, no!If Mrs. Gong's wife raped the young master in the cave, then the real husband and wife is the young master and Mrs. Gong's wife. In this way, of course, the young master can't let other men touch Mrs. Gong's wife!
Qi Fei felt that he wanted to understand the truth again, and said loudly: "Understood, young master! I will arrange people tomorrow!"
"The second lady of the Gong family, Gong Yu, is noble and quite talented. She has always been a loner. It is said that she has a lot of intentions for the position of the third concubine! A few days ago, she suddenly got in touch with Wen Ruxiang, the fifth lady of the Wen family, and planned to frame her at the Lanying Villa. Young Master, regarding the matter between you and Mrs. Gong Shao, as for the reason for her drastic change in temperament, my subordinates have not found out yet!
Gong Rou, the third lady of the palace, only wants to marry a good family. Except for the Qingyan Temple incident, which was planned by her and her biological mother Aunt Qin, she is an important accomplice in the rest of the framing of Mrs. Gong Shao!Later, when the Jiang family was imprisoned, she took refuge in Miss Gongwu, and jointly assassinated Miss Gongsi in Lanying Villa. In the end, Mr. Li disrupted the situation and harmed herself.
Speaking of Miss Gongsi, it turned out that after Mr. Li was in Qingyan Temple, he had the intention of marrying Miss Gongsi, and he didn't tell the truth until that day when he did something inappropriate to Miss Gongsi under the eyes of everyone... "
Although the matter of Li Yu and Gong Jin was shocking, it was still far from Gong Rou and Cai Yuanyu's public performance, so although there were many people talking about it, they basically all mentioned it!
Xiao Yichen has always been not very interested in these elegant things, and because of the shoulder injury and the excessive spicy food caused the wound pain, he rested at home for a few days, and because the matter of someone next door occupied most of his mind, for Li Yu and Gong Jin's matter, I didn't know until now!
It turned out that Li Yu got close to that woman before, not because she was seduced by her, but to find out about Gong Jin!
The note that Li Yu gave her the night before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the person mentioned above was also Gong Jin!
The suppressed anger in Xiao Yichen's heart dissipated a lot after learning the truth.
"There are also two aunts in the Gong family. One is Gong Rou's biological mother, Aunt Qin. She was originally a servant girl in the mansion. The matter of the temple was sent to the countryside;
The other is Aunt Feng, the biological mother of the fifth girl of the palace. Aunt Feng was originally the distant cousin of Mrs. Gong when she was in her natal family. Because of his gentleness and filial piety, he is loved by the Feng family.One time, Mrs. Gong's mother fell ill, and she was concerned about her daughter who was far away in the capital. Aunt Feng invited Ying to deliver a letter to the capital. After arriving in the capital, she contracted a cold, so Mrs. Gong left her in the mansion to visit her family.
Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Aunt Feng to get entangled with the old Marquis of Guangping.Regarding this matter, some people say that the old Guangping Hou was drunk and mistook Aunt Feng for the old lady of the palace, and some people said that Feng Auntie drugged the old Guangping Hou's wine and sent it to the door on purpose, just to stay in the capital. .It's been too long, and the truth is, I'm afraid only the living Auntie Feng knows.
Regarding Aunt Feng's temperament, judging from the news from the Feng family and the Feng family, it is a bit strange.Some say that Aunt Feng will be revenged if she has a small heart, and some say that Aunt Feng is gentle, generous, and good-natured. Because time is tight, it will take time to find out who belongs to her. "
Qi Fei took the initiative to stop, in fact, he wanted Xiao Yichen to speak up, an old aunt with no power, no power and no children, don't check.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a few breaths, no one made a sound, so I could only resign myself to my fate and continued: "As for Mrs. Gong Shao, she was raised by Mrs. Qianlu as a treasure since she was a child. Even her biological father, Uncle Ankang, wanted to get close to her. Mrs. Lu agrees. Because of the lack of contact with people, her temperament is a little weird, naive, capricious, arrogant, selfish, stupid, soft-hearted..."
"Wait, did you hear the news correctly?" Xiao Yichen interrupted, is this the woman?
Qi Fei spread his hands, "I didn't believe it at first, so I personally asked some servants of the Lu family, including some people in the Guangping Hou's mansion, that they all said so! But this is the former Mrs. Gong Shao, Hou Everyone in the manor said that since she came back from Zhuangzi, Mrs. Gong Shao's appearance has been completely changed except for her appearance! She has many strange ideas, can make beautiful and peculiar clothes, has a bold and decisive personality, is smart and shrewd. It's like a different person... Young master, you... But what do you think is wrong?"
A person's temperament suddenly changes, of course something is wrong!But if he returns to his previous temperament, I'm afraid it will be even more unacceptable!
"What else? Continue!"
"Mrs. Gong Shao's dowry's subordinates sent people to check it out. Judging from the information so far, it is really quite scary! When Mrs. Qianlu handed her over to Mrs. Gong before she died, she said that she wanted to see it with her own eyes. When my daughter got married, I was actually worried that after she left, with Mrs. Gong's original temperament, she would be eaten up by the Lu family! But the former Mrs. Lu probably didn't expect that someone would covet her and leave it to her in the Guangping Hou Mansion. Daughter's dowry! After analyzing the whole situation, I always feel that there are some unknown forces secretly plotting behind, otherwise Mrs. Gong's unreasonable behavior can't be explained!"
"Your analysis is right! Everything that goes against common sense must have hidden secrets behind it! Continue to investigate!"
"Yes! Young Master!" Qi Fei, who received such affirmative praise, was immediately overwhelmed and motivated, "By the way, Master, my subordinates have also found out the people under Madam Gong Shao, Uncle Tian, Bai Zhi, Qing Tong, Mr. Li... All of them come from different backgrounds, Uncle Tian was originally named Tian Cheng, he is the younger brother of the owner of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets..."
After Qi Fei explained everyone's background one by one, he finally said: "After the Lanying Villa incident, Mrs. Gong Shao intends to build her own power secretly, and now Uncle Tian is recruiting troops outside, young master, look, do we want to put someone in here?" ?”
"Choose ten all-round players from the hall and send them in!"
ten?All-rounder?Qi Fei wished he could slap himself. If an all-around expert cut off his finger, sending away ten would mean breaking his hands?
"Young Master, it's just to be inserted in, so you don't need to send such a good person?"
"It's not an arrangement, it's a gift!" Xiao Yichen said lightly: "From now on, those ten people must fully obey the instructions of Mrs. Gong Shao, and they must not have two hearts!"
"Master!" Qi Fei couldn't help but protest, do you know how much effort it takes to train ten talents with excellent intelligence, martial arts, strategy and heart?Just give it away for nothing?Even if Mrs. Gong Shao is your actual... madam, you can't pamper her like this, can you?
Xiao Yichen slowly raised his eyes, and there was an irresistible majesty in the glazed eyes, "Continue to report if you have something to do, and go to rest if you have nothing to do!"
Qi Fei could only hold back the bleeding heart, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yichen with both hands, and continued to report, "News from the southwest front line, not long ago the Wacha State invaded, General Li led troops to stop it with all his strength, but The opponent has been plotting for a long time, and our army has retreated steadily, and has retreated to the Qiyun Mountain east of the Mo River. Based on this situation, General Li may not be able to support it for two months! According to the judgment of the subordinates, after half a month at most, General Li Then they will send someone to ask the emperor for help. Now several generals in Beijing have been sent to various places, and the rest of them either have no ambitions, or are greedy for life and fear of death! Except for you, young master, there is no more suitable person in the court! You, young master The time has come for you to show off your skills and feel proud, brothers!"
After Qi Fei left, Xiao Yichen got up and walked to the bookshelf on the left, took down a landscape painting on the wall, stretched out his hand and pushed the place where the painting was originally hung, the wall suddenly moved up, revealing a small square black hole.
There was a brocade box carved in black gold wood, Xiao Yichen carefully took it out, and returned to the desk with an almost pious expression on his face.
He gently opened the lock cover, took out several pieces of cowhide from it, and spread them out on the desk one by one.
Each cowhide is painted with mountains, rivers, forests and rivers, and when several pieces are put together, it is actually a map of the Tianwu Kingdom!
Some of the cowhide scrolls have turned yellow, and the markings have begun to blur, while some are newly added, and the black ink is smooth and clear, some have been altered, and some have not changed.
This map is the painstaking effort of several generations of ancestors of the Xiao family!It cost the Xiao family countless money!
The Xiao family followed the first generation of Emperor Tianwu to fight the world, made great military exploits, and was named the general of the country. Successive generations of descendants are brave and good at fighting, and their prestige in the army exceeds anyone, including the emperors of all dynasties.
And the reason why the Xiao family is invincible on the battlefield is because of this map. The ancestors of the Xiao family have a saying that leading an army in battle must follow the four laws: the law of the heavens and the earth, the sky is the time of the sky, the earth is the terrain, the generals are the generals, and the law is the system.
The terrain is the map. Only with a full understanding of the geographical environment, such as the distance, roughness and flatness, whether to attack and defend, etc., can we lead our troops to the final victory if we can truly strategize!
Xiao Yichen looked at the terrain of Southwest Anchu, moved his fingers on it, drew a sand table in his mind, and practiced the battle.
I don't know how many times I did it, until I determined several feasible solutions, I put the cowhide away, put it into a brocade box, and put it back in place.
He rubbed his tired eyes and looked outside. At this time, the moon was rising in midair, as bright as water.
"Meow", a flattering meow at the foot broke the silence in the study.
Xiao Yichen's thoughts were brought back to reality from the battle of killing the enemy with thousands of troops in his mind. Unexpectedly, he thought of the purpose of buying this black cat, and then thought of that woman.
Thinking of her deliberate teasing, the anger that had been suppressed in her heart slowly rose again.
Xiao Yichen picked up the black cat and piglet in his feet, and gently stroked the cat's fur, "I've raised you for a few days, and it's time for you to show off. I don't keep useless things in my house."
The black cat and the little pig chrysanthemum are tight: meow~
One person and one cat walked through the courtyard, stepped on the moonlight, came to the collapsed wall, and walked leisurely directly to the pomegranate courtyard.
Everything is silent, because the moonlight is bright, and the lanterns in the pomegranate courtyard are all extinguished. The swings, deck chairs, sun umbrellas are all available in the courtyard, and they have returned to the appearance of the previous few days. Under the moonlight, they stand in an eternal posture.
The parrot named Little Tail on the iron shelf under the eaves, with its head buried in its wings and one foot tucked up, apparently also fell asleep.
However, it seems to be very alert to danger. When it senses that danger is approaching, it immediately wakes up, with small round eyes.
When it saw the group of black natural enemies, its wings fluttered in panic, and when it was about to scream "There are thieves", that extremely beautiful human suddenly stretched out an index finger and put it in his lips, with a small tail I know, that means shut up and keep quiet.
It looked at the person and the cat in horror, only to see that the person put the black cat on the ground and made another silent movement.
Does it mean to keep it quiet and let it go?
The black cat and piggy flashed its little paws in warning, and its little tail almost fell off the iron frame.
I know Brother Cat, I don’t want to make a sound, okay?Just sit there and watch me, don't come over and get in touch with me, you know?I am born and shy, I can't bear your enthusiasm!
Xiao Yichen gently pushed open the door, and floated into Lu Xinyan's room like a white ghost.
When he stretched out his hand to touch the woman's sleeping hole on the bed, Lu Xinyan, who had her eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them.
One person stretched out his hand, the other stared at him, and time suddenly seemed to be frozen.
"Xiao Shizi, you are so elegant." Lu Xinyan came back to her senses first, yawned very indecently, then sat up slowly, folded her hands on the quilt, and smiled teasingly at Xiao Yichen, "If I don't remember Wrong, Xiao Shizi hates people who do not obey the rules and behave inappropriately, so how to explain Xiao Shizi's behavior tonight? Sleepwalking?"
A certain person who was caught on the spot showed no panic or guilt about being caught. Instead, Shi Shiran walked to the table and sat down, the corners of his lips curling slightly, "I suddenly remembered my hand in the middle of the night, let's take a look." Is it? If Ms. Lu is not willing, then I will take it and put it in my house to watch?"
In front of Mrs. Gong Shao and behind Miss Lu, Lu Xinyan didn't have time to think about what this person meant, because she choked on his words, "I'll take it now".
She stared at his face, carefully observing his facial expression by the moonlight, trying to judge whether what he said was true or not.
The moonlight softly shone on one side of his face, the bridge of his nose was straight, his thin lips were lightly pursed, in the half-light and half-darkness, his facial features became more profound, blurred and moving, his expression was as cold as ever.
Lu Xinyan curled her lips, thinking that it was impossible for him to cut off her hand, but she didn't dare to bet on it.
So the hand on the autumn-colored quilt slowly spread out, "Want to see it? Please just watch it!"
His slender fingers were as tender as green onions, as if carved from white jade, Xiao Yichen beckoned, "Come here."
Lu Xinyan gritted her teeth and smiled, "Xiao Shizi, aren't you afraid that I'm not wearing anything underneath?"
Liuli's eyes darkened calmly, "If you don't wear it, just wear it well, it shouldn't be, I won't read it, besides, what's so good about it."
Even if you are a fairy and stand in front of me naked, the tone that I would not care about, deeply angered Lu Xinyan.
Fame guy!I don't believe that this girl can't cure you anymore!
She lifted the quilt rudely, strode to the table and sat next to Xiao Yichen, and put her hands in front of him, "Xiao Shizi, are you satisfied?"
Xiao Yichen grabbed her wrist, he didn't know if he wanted to see those hands better, or what, he pulled her closer, so close that he could feel the breath of both of them.
The eyes of the man in front of him were slightly drooping, and the verdant and slender eyelashes could be counted. After counting for a while, Lu Xinyan deliberately asked: "How did you come in? My little tail is awake. A few nights ago, he called out for a thief." Woolen cloth."
Then she opened her eyes, "You didn't kill Xiaowei, did you? Xiaohe is a treasure, she won't give up without a parrot feather!"
Someone slowly raised his eyes, the glazed eyes under the moonlight were like a pale emptiness, which could directly suck the soul of a person, "I bought a black cat..."
Lu Xinyan was absent-minded for a moment, and subconsciously hummed.
"Give it a name..."
"What's your name?" Lu Xinyan cooperated subconsciously, completely unaware that she had jumped into someone's trap.
"Little pig, a pig called pork..."
Little pig, little Zhu, little bead, bead bead? "What?" Lu Xinyan suddenly recovered, gritted her teeth and repeated, "Little pig?"
It's really annoying, just now I was distracted by the beauty and asked such a stupid question!Lu Xinyan scolded herself secretly.
That belated appearance clearly pleased someone, and he said happily, "Yes, little pig, I'm in the yard right now, staring at your little tail, as long as it dares to bark, the little pig will eat it right away." it."
Aniang, Aniang, what name is hard to choose for you, you want to give me a nickname Zhuzhu, if you know it is like a jewel, if you don’t know it, you will think that even pigs and dogs are inferior, such as the one in front of you, And again and again, use the name to make fun of me!
Lu Xinyan snorted secretly, "Xiao Shizi, have you finished reading this hand?"
Xiao Yichen lowered his eyes, and answered irrelevant questions, "In the cave, when you offended me, the medicine on your body had already expired, right? On Qixi night, you deliberately slipped the hand into my hand because you recognized me on purpose, right?"
Lu Xinyan's heart skipped a beat, what does this mean, come to Qiu Hou to settle accounts again? "Xiao Shizi, didn't I agree to give you this hand? What do you mean by bringing up the old matter now?"
After finishing speaking, she suddenly turned her eyes and chuckled, "Elder Xiao still feels that he wants to go back on his word, and he will only be angry if he comes back? If he is a concubine, he would definitely wish for it! What does Shizi Xiao want not to come back?"
She couldn't help laughing at someone in her heart, being prudish!hypocrite!
Xiao Yichen's hand was gradually exerting force, and the small hand in the palm of his hand was gradually turning red, Lu Xinyan called out tenderly, "Oh, Mr. Xiao, you hurt my concubine."
Xiao Yichen suddenly let go of his hands and got up, but Lu Xinyan, who wanted to lean on him, was caught off guard and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"Ouch."
The atmosphere that was finally created suddenly disappeared without a trace.
A pleasant chuckle came from above her head, Lu Xinyan just wanted to find a hole in the ground to get in, but how could she be so easy to admit defeat?
Gently lifted up her hair with her slender hand, sat back on the stool in an extremely elegant and charming posture, then slowly raised her hand, regretfully said: "Since Prince Xiao doesn't appreciate it, forget it."
The slight smile on Xiao Yichen's face couldn't help froze.
"Master Xiao, it's even more serious. My body is thin, and I'm afraid I'll catch the wind and cold after sitting for a long time. If Mr. Xiao has seen enough of your 'hands', can you let me sit on the bed?"
Xiao Yichen looked at the little face that seemed to be a little pale under the moonlit night, and secretly scolded himself for being careless, but when the worried words came to his lips, they turned into accusations, "You are such a big man, don't you even feel cold? Why didn't you say it in the first place?"
Dare it be my fault?Lu Xinyan stared at him several times in anger.
"Why are you still sitting here?" Someone raised his voice with a bit of anger.
I really want to kick this guy to death!Lu Xinyan angrily walked to the edge of the bed and lay down, pulled the quilt directly over her head, wrapped herself in the shape of a rice dumpling, and said in a muffled voice, "Go slowly, I won't see you off!"
Xiao Yichen stood motionless for a long while, he didn't know if he was annoyed by Lu Xinyan's attitude or something, before he left, he said in a deep voice, "If you don't feel well when you wake up tomorrow morning, remember to ask Bai Zhi to feel your pulse."
He turned around and took two steps, then turned back suddenly, "Where's the quilt? I'll get you another quilt and cover it up."
"No, you go."
After a while, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets came, and Lu Xinyan got her head out of the quilt, "What are you doing?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her body suddenly became heavy, and a quilt pressed on her body, wrapping her like a fat silkworm baby.
Lu Xinyan couldn't move, and couldn't help complaining, "Xiao Shizi, do you hate me and want to kill me for revenge?"
Someone held her down, "You just caught a cold, Gaiduo sweated a little, and you'll be fine tomorrow morning."
"I don't catch a cold, the wind is not cold, what does it matter to you?" Lu Xinyan cut a disdainful voice, "Can you please go quickly? People know that you are in my room in the middle of the night. You are a royal family. You are fine, but I am You will be soaked in a pig cage!"
An ignorant woman!Xiao Yichen was so angry that he wanted to run away, but his feet seemed to be rooted and he couldn't move.
Unable to hit or scold, Xiao Yichen, who was secretly angry for a long time, finally had to soften, "You obediently cover yourself with the blanket, and the matter of deliberately teasing me in the cave and Qixi Festival before, is wiped out."
"You mean you gave me back my hand?" Lu Xinyan's eyes lit up.
"Beautiful thinking!" Someone tapped her forehead, "Don't overdo it, the hand is still mine, I keep it here for now, I thought it was an unintentional mistake before, so I just chopped off my hand, now I know you are teasing on purpose, According to my nature, what I want to cut off is not your hands, but your head!"
This gesture was too intimate, but neither of them noticed it. When Lu Xinyan heard the beheading, she only felt that her neck was cold. How could she have any other thoughts?
"Okay, it's settled like this!" After he left, it would be fine for her to lift the quilt again, so she agreed first before talking.
"Don't try to play tricks!" Xiao Yichen snorted coldly, "If you let me know that you are sick tomorrow, it means that you have violated my conditions, then wash your neck and wait for me!"
Lu Xinyan pursed her lips, "Got it!"
After Xiao Yichen left, Lu Xinyan lay motionless on the bed until she was sweating all over, got up and changed into a set of clean pajamas, then climbed back to bed and fell asleep.
By this time, she was already sleepy to death, and she didn't even have the thought of slandering Xiao Yichen.
Early the next morning, Qingtong yawned and knocked on Lu Xinyan's door, "Miss, it's time to get up, I'm going to attend the tea tasting party today."
Lu Xinyan opened her eyes reluctantly, and said lazily, "Come in."
After Qingtong came in, she suddenly remembered that although there was not much movement last night, others in the courtyard could not hear it, so there is no reason why Qingtong could not hear it?
Lu Xinyan narrowed her eyes, and said slowly: "Qingtong, did you sleep well yesterday?"
Qingtong chuckled, "To tell you the truth, I took Bai Zhi to review the Bingyu Biography last night, and I only fell asleep in the middle of the night, and I slept quite soundly."
Seeing the dangerous gleam in Lu Xinyan's eyes after hearing this, she hurriedly changed the subject, "Miss, why did you cover two quilts last night? Is it so cold?"
Lu Xinyan: "...I'm afraid the weather will change, so take precautions in advance."
Qingtong: It's only mid-September, so it's early!
"What's the matter with the wet clothes over there? Was the lady sick last night?"
"Last night, I couldn't sleep and got up and walked for a while and wet my clothes." Lu Xinyan was afraid that she would show her feet, and waved her hand, "Okay, go and ask Bai Zhi to get ready to go out."
"Yes, ma'am."
The location of the Tea Tasting Poetry Club is in a manor in the south of the city, Furong Mountain Villa, hence the name Siyi. The most famous thing in it is the hibiscus flower, which can be white or pink or vermilion.
It is said that there is a rare species called Drunken Hibiscus, the flower color is white and red at dusk, and many people go there admiringly.
At this time, mid-September is the time when hibiscus flowers are in full bloom. Coupled with the annual tea tasting and poetry meeting, Furong Villa is very lively, with fragrant cars and BMWs, and sweet and witty chatter.
When Lu Xinyan and the others came, there was only a red-covered carriage. Among the many luxurious and exquisite carriages, it did not attract much attention.
Until Shen Yuyan, one of the chairpersons, came to greet her in person. The lotus root silk pipa skirt and the pleated skirt scattered with flowers, water mist and green grass were elegant and moving, and the smile on her lips was like a spring breeze. "Madam Gong, can you please?" It is really an honor for the poetry club to come here to show your face."
It turned out that she was Mrs. Gong Shao who won the first place in the Huayi Festival!No wonder the clothes on her body are so beautiful.
Lu Xinyan is wearing a cloud brocade skirt with flowing flowers and dark patterns today, covered with a layer of light lilac-colored gauze. The gauze is different in that there is no open front, but an ultramarine girdle in the middle from the hood to the feet. , the slender figure is fully displayed, elegant and free and easy, just one stop, you can stand out from the crowd.
At the Huayi Festival before, because the stands were far away, most people only knew the name of Lu Xinyan, but they didn't really see her real face.
As soon as Shen Yuyan yelled, the girls and boys who passed by stopped to watch.
Lu Xinyan smiled, as beautiful as a hibiscus in full bloom, "Miss Shen has won the prize, it is my honor to be invited by Miss Shen personally."
Shen Yuyan came forward to invite her affectionately, as if the previous rift between the two had never happened, "Mrs. Gong Shao, let me take you to meet the persons in charge of this poetry meeting."
She showed her generosity in front of people, and Lu Xinyan would not tear her down, her smile became more elegant and decent, "Miss Lao Chen."
The organizers of the Tea Tasting Poetry Club are four men and one woman, and this woman is naturally Shen Yuyan. Among the remaining four men, one is Shen Yuyan's elder brother Shen Qingzhu, and the other three, who impressed Lu Xinyan more, are Shang Shujia from the Ministry of Industry Yan Yulang, the 17-year-old eldest grandson of his father, is as his name suggests, with a face like a beautiful jade, a tall body, and a humble and gentle son.
This Yan Yulang is also a well-known young master in Beijing, Xiao Yichen has never talked about marriage because he is not close to women, Gongsun Mobai is hindered in getting married because of his womanly face, Li Yu is in decline because of his family and has a penchant for love, In addition, Xiao Dong is picky and has never been able to talk about a good marriage. Yan Yulang is because he is too good and his vision is too high. Although there are many people to choose from, no one has been able to fall into his eyes, and he has not talked about marriage so far. .
"I have heard for a long time that Mrs. Gong Shao is ethereal, clear, and unparalleled in beauty. When I see you today, she really lives up to her reputation!" Yan Yulang smiled and praised without hesitation.
His eyes were clean and pure, without any distracting thoughts. Lu Xinyan thanked generously: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan is extravagant and elegant, and his demeanor is not far from the rumors."
"Hahaha!" Yan Yulang laughed heartily. It's rare to see such a generous and unaffected woman. worthy of that reputation."
This person is really cute, Lu Xinyan was about to answer the words, Shen Qingzhu's eyes wavered slightly, and Shen Yuyan, whose smile was fixed on the vermilion lips, took two steps forward, smiling lightly, "Mr. Yan, I'm sorry, Princess Changping told me before." , if Mrs. Gong Shao is here, I have to take her to say hello to her."
Yan Yulang cupped his hands and said: "Mrs. Gong, Yan has heard that the poems on the Qixi Festival night and the poems of Wuyanghoufu are all written by Mrs. Gong. I am looking forward to Mrs. Gong's performance today. I will see you later."
Lu Xinyan nodded and smiled, and saluted gracefully, "My lords, take my leave."
"Mrs. Gong Shao, the princess is in the osmanthus garden over there, admiring the flowers and throwing pots with all the ladies. Go this way, and you will be there soon."
"Miss Shen, please lead the way."
"Madam Gong Shao doesn't have to be so polite." Shen Yuyan took her arm affectionately, "I used to be narrow-minded, and I was not convinced after losing to Madam Gong Shao last time, so my words and deeds offended me a lot, but after being enlightened by my grandfather Finally, I figured it out, there is no limit to learning, and there will always be people who are stronger than me on the road of life. I can’t be jealous when I meet a stronger person, but I should not be ashamed to ask others and work hard to explore. One day I will have better achievements. So Please forgive me for my ignorance before, from now on, please give me some advice from Mrs. Gong Shao."
"It's best for Ms. Shen to think like this, but I've already said that those poems are not written by me, they are just hearsay and borrowed! With Ms. Shen's talent, I can't afford to give advice."
Regardless of Shen Yuyan's purpose in saying these words, Lu Xinyan spoke the truth.
But Shen Yuyan obviously took her as an excuse, "Threesomes, there must be my teacher. Even if Mrs. Gong Shao can't give guidance in poetry, other aspects are always available, such as making clothes, making sachets and so on!"
She took out an exquisite purple sachet embroidered with golden osmanthus from her sleeve, "I almost forgot, I sewed a sachet two days ago, and put some medicinal herbs in it, and I specially planned to give it to Mrs. Gong Shao as an apology today." Madam Gong Shao, you must accept it, otherwise I think you are still angry with me."
She couldn't help but gesture towards Lu Xinyan, "This color matches Madam Gong's body, Madam Gong, let me put it on for you."
"Hiss, wait!" Lu Xinyan frowned suddenly, covering her stomach with one hand, with a troubled expression on her face.
Shen Yuyan's hands froze in mid-air, "Mrs. Gong Shao, what are you?"
"I... suddenly feel anxious!" Lu Xinyan said in embarrassment: "I drank two bowls of porridge in the morning, and now my stomach is a little distended. Miss Shen, is there a latrine near here? I want to solve it first, so as not to wait for others to see It’s not good for the princess to be disgraceful.”
Seeing that Shen Yuyan was stunned for a while, Lu Xinyan said again: "Since Ms. Shen is not clear, then I will ask someone else! Bai Zhi, take the sachet sent by Ms. Shen and keep it together with my cloak. Put it on after you come out of the hut."
"Yes, Miss." Bai Zhi took the purple sachet from Shen Yuyan's hand calmly, with a dark purple cloak hanging on one arm, and the sachet in the other hand.
Shen Yuyan came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "I was just thinking about where the nearest hut is, and I was too absorbed in thinking about it. You are not familiar with this villa, so I'll take Mrs. Gong Shao there."
"That's Miss Lao Chen." Lu Xinyan said: "The hut is filthy, so that this sachet won't be contaminated with unclean air, Bai Zhi, you wait here for us to come back."
"Got it, miss."
Shen Yuyan's smile became brighter, "Mrs. Gong Shao, this way."
After going to the hut to clean their hands, they returned to the original place, and Bai Zhi tied the sachet around Lu Xinyan's waist in front of Shen Yuyan.
"Miss Shen has such a good eye. After wearing this sachet, it really adds a lot to my whole outfit." Lu Xinyan praised with a smile.
Shen Yuyan covered her lips and smiled lightly, "Mrs. Gong was born well, and this dress is exquisite, which is why it has such an effect. Let's go quickly, lest the princess wait for a long time."
After walking two steps, she suddenly said to the servant girl beside her, "I was in a hurry just now, and I forgot to tell my eldest brother about something, Xiaocao, go and tell the eldest son, the prizes ordered for today's winners haven't arrived yet. Let the eldest son go to remind you!"
"Yes, miss, this servant will do it now."
Passing through a rugged path, several people came to the plum garden, "Sister, please let me know that Yu Yan and Mrs. Gong Shao are asking to see the princess."
The maid outside the plum garden blessed, "Miss Shen, Mrs. Gong, the princess accidentally wet her clothes while drinking tea, and now she is going to the wing room to change. Please wait here for a while, Miss Shen and Mrs. Gong. , or go to another place to play for a while and come back again.”
"Mrs. Gong Shao, there is a quiet pavilion over there with a very nice view. How about we go over there and wait for the princess to come back?"
Lu Xinyan nodded noncommittally, "According to Miss Shen."
The pavilion that Shen Yuyan mentioned is called the pavilion, not far from the plum garden, it is very quiet, the terrain is quite high, sitting in it, the flowers bloom in the distance, the maple leaves are like fire, the mountains and rocks are steep, intertwined together, it has a magnificent beauty.
"Miss Shen really knows about this Furong Villa, and she was able to find such a beautiful and quiet place."
"Young Madam Gong is overwhelmed. As one of the organizers of the Poetry Tasting Club, I must be familiar with the terrain so that the guests feel at home."
"Ah, what Ms. Shen said reminded me that there are a lot of guests at this poetry meeting. As one of the organizers, Ms. Shen should greet other guests. Now that she spends so much time on me, I feel very uneasy. "Lu Xinyan said guiltily: "Miss Shen, why don't you go and do your work first. The two maids and I will wait here for a while, and then we can go to see the princess by ourselves."
"Young Madam Gong is an important guest of this poetry meeting, and she is worthy of my private reception, and I also have something to report to the princess, if I leave at this time, it will take more time to go back and forth, Madam Gong, don't blame yourself! "Shen Yuyan changed the subject in an instant, "By the way, Mrs. Gong, when will the clothes on the Huayi Festival start to be sold? Several of my sisters are clamoring to buy them. Mrs. Gong asked about the time and wanted to be the first to buy."
"I have handed over this matter to Master Ye of Suranfang. It will be listed in the market about seven days after entering the palace to perform, that is, around the beginning of October."
Shen Yuyan was surprised and said: "Mrs. Gong Shao and Master Ye...cooperate?"
Lu Xinyan said: "That's right, we are now a partnership, but I am only responsible for providing design drawings. As for all other operations, Ye Da has full authority to intervene, and I will ignore them."
Shen Yuyan was thoughtful, "No wonder at the Huayi Festival, Master Ye would suddenly appear and help Mrs. Gong Shao to prove the plagiarism..."
As if she felt that she had said something wrong, she quickly waved her hand and explained hastily, "Mrs. Gong Shao, I don't mean anything else. It's not that Master Ye is partial to you and intentionally distorting the facts..."
It's all so obvious, why don't you say anything else?Lu Xinyan smiled slightly, but didn't take it seriously, "Miss Shen, don't worry, as long as you don't think too much, I won't think too much."
As soon as those clothes are on the market, her cooperative relationship with Ye Shuang will be exposed sooner or later. Instead of everyone talking about it, it is better to let her speak out in advance.
Concubine Kong Shu's plagiarism case at the Huayi Festival has been settled, Lu Xinyan has a clear conscience, and these people can't figure out anything about her cooperation with Ye Shuang!
"Mrs. Gong Shao said so, I am relieved. When the time comes, I will definitely bring my sisters to join in the show!" Shen Yuyan smiled, looked in the direction of the plum garden and let out a sigh, "It seems that the princess is here. Wait a minute, young lady, I will ask."
"How can I let Miss Shen go in person?" Lu Xinyan stretched out her hand to hold her, "Qingtong, you are walking fast, go and have a look. If the princess comes back, then wave your hand from below, if not, then wave your hand."
"Understood, Miss." Qing Tong responded and left.
Qingtong quickly walked to the entrance of the plum garden, chatted with the maid guarding there, then walked to an open space that could be seen from the gazebo, and waved her hand to indicate that the princess hadn't come yet.
Lu Xinyan waved to her, gesturing for her to come back, at this moment a maid suddenly appeared, pulled Qingtong and said a few words, her face was full of anxiety, as if she wanted to ask her for help.
Shen Yuyan snorted, "That maid seems to be in trouble and needs help, Mrs. Gong, look..."
Lu Xinyan waved her hand, "Since I've come to you, please help, it's just a matter of lifting my hands."
Qingtong at the bottom understood the meaning of her gesture, nodded, and followed the maid.
"Mrs. Gong Shao is really kind." Shen Yuyan couldn't help but praise.
Lu Xinyan smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter, and it's nothing to worry about. If it were Miss Shen, she would definitely do the same thing as me."
"Mrs. Gong Shao, look over there!" Shen Yuyan pointed to the distance as if discovering something novel, "There is a piece of white hibiscus over there, looking from a distance, does it look like floating clouds in the sky?"
Lu Xinyan looked in the direction of her finger, "It really is beautiful, as white as jade and as bright as moonlight."
Shen Yuyan sighed, "It's a pity that I don't have the chance to take a closer look today."
"Why is this so difficult?" Lu Xinyan said, "Bai Zhi, go pick some white hibiscus flowers for Miss Shen to watch."
"Why is this so embarrassing?" Shen Yuyan quickly refused.
"It's nothing, I just want to see it too. Bai Zhi, put the cloak here, you can go."
"Yes, Miss." Bai Zhi put the cloak on the stone table in the pavilion, saluted and left.
"Thank you Madam Gong Shao!" Shen Yuyan showed a grateful expression.
"It's just a small matter, Miss Shen is too polite."
The two chatted again, and Lu Xinyan put her hand on her forehead, panting slightly, "I feel a little dizzy."
Shen Yuyan hurriedly said: "Mrs. Gong Shao, are you okay? I'll find someone to take a look for you."
Lu Xinyan grabbed her hand, "No need, it's good that Miss Shen stays here with me."
"This can't be done! The dizziness can be big or small, so don't hide it from the doctor! Wait a minute, I'll bring someone here right away."
Shen Yuyan was about to break free, but found that the hand on her wrist was so strong that she couldn't break free.
