————————————————————————————

A few months later, Huang Jiyun went to see Wang Xifeng several times at Jia Lian's invitation and Daiyu's begging.Under Huang Jiyun's conditioning, Wang Xifeng's body gradually recovered, at least her complexion was rosy, and her movements were like wind.

After this experience, Dengzhou could not go to Dengzhou anymore, but Wang Xifeng was in Jia's residence, but no one provoked her anymore, and even Jia Lian was avoided by most people in Jia's residence.

Of course, Mrs. Jia is an exception.In Jia's mansion, and even in the entire Jia family, there is no one that Mrs. Jia dare not provoke.But Wang Xifeng was never rude every morning and evening. Even though Mrs. Jia told her to rest more and not come so early, Wang Xifeng never came late once.

Even Mrs. Wang said before that Wang Xifeng, as a sister-in-law, should teach Tanchun and Xichun about housekeeping, and Wang Xifeng also took over.Although Jia Lian didn't understand, he didn't ask anything, and Wang Xifeng didn't explain.

After Wang Xifeng recovered from her body, the only thing that made people feel changed was that she loved to go out, especially to Daiyu's Zhuangzi, and sometimes even went with Xichun, but she rarely waited for Tanchun to go out.The reason, of course, is that Tanchun is getting old and should learn how to manage the house, so Tanchun is responsible for many things in Jia's house.

Tanchun regrets not being able to go to Daiyu Zhuangzi, but compared to the manager, Tanchun prefers to stay in the mansion to manage the affairs of the manager.

On the last day of April, Wang Xifeng went to Daiyu's Zhuangzi again in a carriage alone.In her opinion, only with Daiyu can she find inner peace, but she still can't erase the soul-devouring pain!That child, after she inquired about it later, was a well-formed boy...

Thinking of that child, Wang Xifeng couldn't help stroking her flat belly again.If the child is still there, my stomach should be bulging at this moment... Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng's tightly closed eyes rolled down a string of clear tears.

Ping'er watched from the side, and knew that Wang Xifeng must have thought of the child again, but she didn't dare to speak out to comfort her. Once she tried to persuade her, but what Wang Xifeng gave her was just a heavy slap in the face and almost irrational anger.From then on, whenever Wang Xifeng thought of that child, he would come to Daiyu's Zhuangzi, and Ping'er could only quietly accompany her.

As soon as the carriage approached, Wang Xifeng noticed that Daiyu's peaceful village in the past was extremely lively today.It's not that there are many people, but that the servants are all busy and don't know what they are busy with.

When Daiyu heard that Wang Xifeng was coming, she greeted her personally.When Wang Xifeng saw Daiyu from a distance, he was taken aback.

When Daiyu doesn't go out, she always wears very simple attire, especially now that the weather is getting hotter, Wang Xifeng knows that Daiyu would like to just wear a bellyband, or soak in the water all day long.

But today's Daiyu is wearing a moon-white long robe that drags the floor, which looks a bit like a deep garment, but it's not. There is no waist, but it wraps her figure very well.The long robe was spread out, somewhat like a skirt.A green lotus grows from the skirt of the robe.

The collar is the peach-heart collar that Daiyu once said, embroidered with a circle of small and delicate lotus leaves, and half of the arm is connected to the same-colored veil sleeves.The movement is like two pieces of green smoke and mist floating beside him.Two translucent and pure suet white jade hairpins are inserted obliquely on the single snail bun, and a thin braid is draped behind the shoulders.

Wang Xifeng could tell that even without more attires, Daiyu had dressed up very carefully today.

Daiyu looked at Wang Xifeng with a good complexion, before she approached, she went up to meet her and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that my sister-in-law is here, it just so happens that my mother and concubine brought sister Wanyu to my village today." Wang Xifeng knew it by raising her eyebrows. The reason why she was so hardworking today, before Wang Xifeng secretly thought that something might be wrong, this girl is amazingly lazy, and she is also afraid of heat!

Wang Xifeng showed a relaxed smile that only appeared in front of Daiyu, nodded her forehead angrily and said, "I think it's because you girl is working hard today, I don't think it's Princess Wujun who came." Then she took Daiyu's arm He walked in with his hand, and said as he walked: "Why don't you lead me to see Princess Wujun? You don't have to say that I have lost my manners."

As soon as Wang Xifeng finished speaking, someone laughed and said: "Who dares to say that sister Feng, you have lost your manners? I will be the first one not to spare him!" out.

The three of them did not go to the main hall, but went to Tingying Xiaozhu in the garden. It was still hot, so Daiyu built it on the small lotus pond according to the Taihu stone in the pond in order to get close to the water.

It is said to be a small building, but it is not fake at all, but it is two circles larger than the Eight Immortals Table, and according to Daiyu's previous calculation, it is only three or four square meters in size.Sitting on the ground inside, playing the piano or cooking tea are all excellent.

Daiyu led the two of them along the wide and narrow single-plank bridge into Tingying Xiaozhu.Princess Wujun was reclining on a low couch built around three walls in the small building.In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is a low couch, this couch is only a little over one foot wide and narrow, it must be uncomfortable to lie on, but it is extremely comfortable to sit on.

On a small table in the middle, there are pickled melons, grapes and other fruits, which are self-produced in Daiyu Zhuangzi, and taste good.Wang Xifeng used to like to eat the grapes here the most.

After Wang Xifeng saluted Princess Wujun and sat down, Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Princess Wang has time to see Yu'er today? It's time for Yuer to go to the city to greet you." Princess Wujun was upset when she heard this. She glanced at Daiyu, and Daiyu hurriedly lowered her head, but she still heard Princess Wujun complain: "This heartless girl, will she think about seeing me in time?"

Daiyu had no choice but to make amends quickly: "Look at how unfilial Yu'er said, but Yu'er never forgets her mother and sister."

Princess Wujun sneered and said: "I didn't forget my concubine mother, but I didn't see you go to see my concubine mother. Your father and king have been away for so long, and only your concubine mother and your sister are left in the huge palace, and I don't see you either." Come visit often."

Princess Wujun said so, but Daiyu knew that there would never be only Princess Wujun and Wanyu left in the palace. Not to mention anything else, there were only two side concubines of Prince Wujun. It's just that Daiyu has never seen the concubine and her children.

Princess Wujun didn't mention it, so Daiyu naturally wouldn't mention those people who hurt her heart, so she smiled and said: "Yu'er wears filial piety, I am afraid that going to the palace will embarrass mother and concubine. Mother concubine does not praise Yu'er for being thoughtful. , I complained instead." He pouted his mouth as he spoke, looking very dissatisfied, which made Princess Wujun amused for a while, so he finally revealed it.

A few people chatted for a while, Wujun Wangfei didn't know if she just remembered it, or she suddenly caught Wang Xifeng's eyes, or Wang Xifeng's words caught Wujun Wangfei's meaning.Princess Wujun smiled and said: "It's a hot day, if it wasn't for Wanyu, I wouldn't have made this trip." Wang Xifeng hurriedly answered and asked, "I don't know what the princess said?"

Princess Wujun laughed and said, "We Wanyu are engaged on the fifth day of May, so you can come here too." Then she gave Daiyu another look and said, "Yu'er can figure it out for herself, your elder sister Wanyu is really good today. Whatever you say, I will come to Zhuangzi to see you, and get married in a few days, if you don't come, you will break her heart."

Before Wang Xifeng arrived, Princess Wujun also told Daiyu about Wanyu's engagement. At this time, she mentioned it again. I just don't want Wanyu to leave regrets.

Daiyu looked up at Wanyu in embarrassment, seeing Wanyu's eyes full of distress and anticipation, she couldn't help lowering her head again.

Daiyu thought for a long time, raised her head and was about to speak, but Wang Xifeng pushed her lightly and interrupted: "Okay, what's the big deal? Even though you haven't taken off your clothes yet, you can't go to the formal table. But the relationship between you and the princess is different, the county lord is so happy, you should go back, even if you stay for two days to express your gratitude."

When Princess Wujun heard this, she immediately smiled and said: "It can be considered that I have met a sensible person! This girl used to look very intelligent and sensible, but every time she encounters these things, she is confused!" Said He tapped Daiyu's forehead angrily and said, "Could it be possible that the mother concubine can embarrass you and lose courtesy?"

That's why Daiyu bowed her head and smiled in embarrassment, but she heard Princess Wujun say: "Don't wait a few days before going back. Later today, you will go back with your mother and concubine. Your small building, I clean it for you every day! You don't need to bring anything, there is everything in the house, and there is nothing missing, as long as you have your sister Wanyu, there will be you."

Princess Wujun's words made Daiyu's eyes turn red and said: "It's my daughter who is not filial, and these days I never thought that my mother would be lonely in the mansion."

Princess Wujun snorted coldly: "Have you thought about it now?" Daiyu pursed her lips and nodded lightly with a smile. My sister is young after all, how can she think so thoughtfully?"

The four of them had dinner at Daiyu Zhuangzi. As expected, when they returned to the city, Princess Wu led Daiyu back together. Naturally, Nanny Tang and Hanxiao Zhixuan were indispensable for the trip, so Zhuangzi entrusted her to grandson. Nanny and Nanny Yang.

Even Aunt Luo was invited back by Princess Wujun, asking her to help Wanyu embroider the dowry.In fact, where does Wanyu need to do it herself for her dowry?However, Princess Wujun knew that Aunt Luo's craftsmanship was the best in the palace back then, and she was asked to go back to teach those embroiderers.

Walking into Meixiangju again and stepping into Nuanyun Pavilion, Daiyu was also very excited.Seeing this, Wan Yu pushed open the window lattice and looked outside and murmured: "At that time, my sister also said that she wanted to paint pictures with me in the plum forest, or play the piano and cook tea, or take a stroll and chat with me. Time, come back again, I should go again." His expression was indescribably lonely.

The person who is engaged to Wan Yu is also very good, he is Cai Rong, the eldest son of Cai Yu, governor of Huguang.But in the end Wanyu is just the lord of the county, not the princess.After marrying him, she will live away from her parents in her hometown and go to Huguang in the future.How much reluctance and anxiety in my heart.

But Wanyu knew that she couldn't refuse, not even Princess Wujun. This was not a marriage appointed by the emperor for her, but it was chosen for her by the empress herself, for the sake of the family!

Daiyu looked at Wanyu's thin back, knowing that she was always disturbed, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only stay silent with her.At this time, Daiyu once again deeply felt the sadness of not being able to control her own destiny, and the powerlessness of not being able to help Wanyu who has always cared for her and cherished her...
