The remarriage of the high-ranking daughter

Chapter 34 The Sister-in-Law's Calculation ([-])
There is a saying that one only envies mandarin ducks but not immortals. This is how many infatuated men and women are extremely envious. According to legend, in the past ten years, every couple in the Shen residence will make a wish by the mandarin duck pool, in order to seek love between husband and wife, Happiness lasts forever, from girls and young masters, down to maids and servants, everything is wrong.

Stopping by the mandarin duck pool, Chang An couldn't help but linger on the pair of mandarin ducks.

Mandarin refers to male, and duck refers to female. The male has beautiful feathers, with a purple-black crest on the head, the upper part of the wings is yellowish brown, and the female is pale brown. This pair of mandarin ducks inhabits the pond together, which looks very beautiful.

Even animals are still nostalgic for the feeling of being together and cherishing each other, but people are not. At least she and Chen Yutao have never been to this mandarin duck pool together.

Now, thinking about it, it is even more impossible.

"Why are sisters in a daze here?"

Chen Yuqing turned back from the octagonal gazebo with the overhanging eaves beside the mandarin duck pool, took Chang'an's hand, and said with a smile, "I asked Xiaowen to prepare some drinks and snacks, and my sister-in-law will sit and talk with me, and let's enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mandarin duck pool again." Wouldn't it be better!"

Chang An twitched the corners of his lips, glanced at Chen Yuqing indifferently, and spoke with deep meaning, "My sister has a heart, and she has prepared snacks and drinks. If I don't come today, I will not let my sister down."

Chen Yuqing was startled, and glanced at Chang'an suspiciously. Seeing that her complexion was normal, she let go of her doubts and said with a smile: "It's good that sister-in-law understands my intentions. You are the closest to me in our house. No matter how that red silk makes trouble, I just stand by your side. If you want to step on that lowly servant girl, my sister won't even bat an eye!"

"What's the point of mentioning her? Wouldn't such a beautiful and beautiful day be a disappointment?"

Chang An restrained his emotions, cast a reproachful glance at Chen Yuqing, turned his head to look at the well-arranged drinks and snacks in the octagonal gazebo, sniffed lightly, and couldn't help laughing, "My sister is considerate in her work, she knows I like sweet-scented osmanthus, and she specially brought them Osmanthus brewed!"

The golden osmanthus in "Hengzhi Garden" is now blooming in clumps, and you can smell the fragrance of flowers even when you walk outside the garden. She likes the elegance and fragrance of osmanthus, which reveals a kind of fragrance from the inside to the outside. Share demure and tranquility.

It seems that Chen Yuqing really took great pains to plot against her!
"Sister-in-law treats me so well on weekdays, but my younger sister only pays attention this time, how can she deserve such praise from sister-in-law?"

Chen Yuqing walked towards the pavilion with Chang'an on his arm. Although he said so, there was a smug smile on his lips.

The stone benches in the pavilion had already been placed on Yunyan woven brocade cushions with golden patterns, and the purple and gold eight-treasure incense burner was burning in the corner. In the button, Ziyun cast a disdainful glance aside, with his hands behind his back, obviously not ready to help.

Chen Yuqing warmly invited Chang An to take a seat, as if she was the owner of the place, watching her carefully hold the mandarin duck jade pot, Chang An's eyes darkened suddenly.

Chang'an still remembered that she had seen this mandarin duck jade pot in the miscellaneous notes of court secrets. The body of the bottle was round like a pear, and the neck was slightly narrow. And inside, the top of the jade pot is activated by red and green gemstones to activate the hidden compartment inside the bottle body, and when it is opened or closed, you can pour the wine you prepared in advance into the other party's cup, if that person wants to put you to death , This is a kind of murderous weapon without anyone noticing.

Chang'an observed Chen Yuqing's movements calmly, and saw that she carefully filled a glass with her thumb on the red gemstone and pushed it in front of Chang'an, and pressed the green gemstone when it came to herself.

Chen Yuqing thought that no one knew about it, but she didn't know that she had already understood the mystery.

"Sister-in-law, my sister toasts you!"

Chen Yuqing held his breath excitedly, looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus wine rippling in the cup, even his mood floated up, if Changan drank this cup, then everything would be staged according to his own script, and at this moment, in the front yard Wang Zhi, who was drinking freely, should have received the secret note, right?

Yuanyangchi, oh Yuanyangchi, she made this pair of wild mandarin ducks perfect today!

"Not urgent!"

Chang An pushed slightly, and Chen Yuqing's wine swayed in the cup, almost spilling some wine and staining her dress, Chen Yuqing couldn't help but glared at Chang An angrily.

Chang An pretended not to see it, and played with the cup between his fingers, but his eyes drifted to the surface of the pool, "Didn't my sister say that she wanted to see the scenery of the Mandarin Duck Pool? Why did I drink the wine before I saw the scenery... ...Could it be that my sister's ulterior motives are not in drinking?"

At the end of the words, Chang An's eyes suddenly froze, and there seemed to be light in his eyes. Chen Yuqing was startled, and his guilty eyes almost didn't dare to meet him. Even the hand holding the cup trembled, spilling a few drops of crystal clear water. The wine is coming.

It was Xiaowen who felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Ma'am, you are wrong to blame the young lady. The young lady just saw that the lady was tired from walking, so she ordered the servants to prepare some drinks in advance. If this intention is misunderstood, How sad that lady must be!"

When Xiaowen said this, Chen Yuqing hurriedly put down the cup, pulled out a soft white silk handkerchief hidden in the sleeve at the right time, bowed her head sideways, as if she was really wiping tears, Xiaowen hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her .

"Sister, don't be like this, sister-in-law can't bear it!"

After saying this, Chang An hurriedly got up, wiped his sleeve between the two cups, and twirled his fingers, the cups that were originally placed on the table had already been replaced with each other.

In fact, it is not difficult to achieve this. Chen Yuqing's master and servant put all their attention on acting, so how could they be aware of Chang'an's exquisite heart, let alone think that they were plotting against others, but in the end they were the ones who suffered!
Ziyun was standing behind Chang'an, and she could only see the hand piercing the flowers in the fog a little bit. After recollecting everything she saw just now, the corners of her lips began to smile, and she was afraid of being discovered by the master and servant of the Chen family. Only then slightly lowered his head, covering his lips with a sneer.

She thought that the young lady was really confused by the Chen family's master and servant who randomly poured some sugar water, but she knew it very well in her heart!

If the women's table in the backyard is still a bit reserved and delicate, and only whispers and whispers can be heard on the entire table, then compared to such a scene, the men's table in the front yard is a mess. The hustle and bustle broke out.

Fighting fists, clinking glasses, tasting banquets, appreciating chrysanthemums, and reciting poems, all kinds of talented scholars and literati gathered at a table, serving a variety of dishes, showing their talents, and everyone just wanted to get drunk.

Chen Yutao sat on a table in the corner with a cup in his hand and watched the surroundings quietly, but was dragged by Shen Ping and walked around to say hello to the acquaintances, so he found this secluded corner, and the table was full of He didn't feel guilty about the unfamiliar face.

Because of entrusting Shen Ping, or because the emperor was afraid of the power of the Shen family, although the imperial decree bestowed marriage to the Chen and Chen families, it failed to allow him to take on important positions. Comparable to the top three in the same discipline, the second place and Tanhua both entered the Hanlin Academy, and worshiped under the Wenhua Palace and the Wuying Palace successively. How can he not complain or hate when people care about him?
