The Lofty Fierce Consort

?Since Shen Yiyao promised to go to Mengshan Qiuhun, Yan Ting has become happy, including the old lady.

Regardless of Yan Ting, the old lady suddenly changed a lot. If there is nothing tricky in it, ghosts don't believe it!

Regarding Yan Qian's ban, the two did not raise any objections. Yan Ting even made a statement, asking Shen Yiyao to find Yan Qian for marriage as soon as possible.

Although Shen Yiyao was prepared to do it regardless of anyone's opposition. But the words came out of Yan Ting's mouth, but she felt particularly chilling. As a father, no matter how many wrong things the children do, they shouldn’t be so indifferent and ruthless, even without asking.

Is this man still the indomitable husband in his mind back then? Or he has never changed, it's just that she hasn't been able to see clearly. Every time she sees it clearly, Shen Yiyao's heart becomes cold, until it is cold to the bone.

But what about him now, she didn't want to care anymore, if it weren't for the two children, she didn't want to stay in this Weiyuanhou mansion at all.

Compared with Shen Yiyao, Chen's life is quite anxious these days. First of all, she had no housekeeping in the past. No matter how bad Weiyuanhou is, she still has three catties of iron in a bad boat. Since she has no experience in housekeeping, how could she manage well? .

In addition, she was suspicious of the Xue family, and as soon as she won the Zhongkui, she replaced all the people Xue had used before. There is nothing wrong with doing this, otherwise, how can one person get to the heavens and ascend to heaven? If the wife of the three rooms is in the house, it is naturally indispensable for the people of the three rooms. But the key problem was that not only was she inexperienced, her staff also had little experience, and they didn't understand the gradual changes, so she was impatient and replaced them all, making the whole house messed up.

The first thing that exposed the problem was the large kitchen. This kitchen has always been the place with the most oil and water. Now it is managed by the mother of Chen's milk mother. The old woman who was in charge of the kitchen was sent off to wash the vegetables.

How about saying that people are stupid and untreated?

It is impossible for Xue to be able to take care of things in the big kitchen alone. Mother Zhao is standing behind this woman. She was replaced, and Mother Zhao didn't say anything, leaving her to wash the vegetables in the kitchen.

The Chen clan was also very proud that he had changed the Xue clan, but he didn't know that the Xue clan was laughing and waiting for the Chen clan to be cleaned up.

That mother Wang is also useless, seemingly majestic, but in fact she can't control things at all. Someone below made her unable to see the trip, and within a few days the masters in the mansion began to complain.

You ordered sea bass, she made you a mandarin fish and brought it to you, or it was the food that should be given here and sent there. There are too many to list. In recent days, the standard of dishes has also been lowered. Obviously, it has been reduced and reduced. Now I want to order a dish, either this is not, or that is not.

Of course, it is indispensable for someone to stumble and deliberately fail to do well, but there are also Chen's reasons.

It turned out that Chen was eager to behave in front of the old lady. In order to save money, she cut a lot of the regular dishes in the big kitchen. These dishes were all prepared for the masters to order and change their mouths. Chen considered that many times they could not be used at all, and it was cheaper to keep them, so they reduced them a bit.

Xue did not jump out for a certain purpose. Shen Yiyao was a good-natured person. After eating for a few days, it was unpalatable and did not make a sound. She set up the small kitchen in Jinseyuan by herself and did not plan to use the meals in the large kitchen. .

Seeing that there was no utterance in the second room of the big room, Chen became even more proud, and directly cut all the spare dishes and changed to a daily menu in the big kitchen. What to eat in each room was ordered from the menu.

This idea was approved by the old lady. The Chen family calculated the accounts for the old lady. Every month, she can save a lot of expenses. Anyway, the reduction of anyone else can not be reduced to the old lady. The old lady has nothing to say.

Yan Yan did not eat in the large kitchen for a long time, but it did not mean that she was used to seeing people jumping up and down in front of her. After discussing with Shen Yiyao, Shen Yiyao ordered someone to talk to Chen, saying that the meals in Jinseyuan will not be served in the large kitchen in the future. Go, let Chen directly transfer the silver.

Shen Yiyao didn't care about this little silver, but Yan Yan said, even if you don't want it, it will be enough for others. In that case, why should it be cheaper?

Chen didn't think much about it, so he agreed.

Then one day later, the Xue family also called in and said that the meals in the big room would not be left from the large kitchen in the future, and asked the Chen family to transfer the extra money.

Only Shen Yiyao's Jinseyuan, the Chen family didn't think there was anything. Yan Yan and Yan Mo's meal money was allocated regularly as early as the housekeeper of Aunt Pei Niang, and now it is natural that Xiao is following Cao Gui.

But now that the meals in the entire large room are not taken from the large kitchen, the situation is a bit bad. You know the reason why the big kitchen is so much oily and water is because the big kitchen takes care of the meals of the masters, and you can pull some from any place, and you can make a lot of money in a month. Now the masters don’t eat in the big kitchen. Where else can they get money? Even though the wool is on the sheep, there must be sheep!

Of course, you can also say that even without Dafang, Jinseyuan and Ningxiang Pavilion, there are Ziyuxuan, Lanyuexuan and Yan Ting, Rong'antang and Sanfang. But you must know that no one dared to deduct the meals of Yan Ting and the old lady. The rest of Zi Yuxuan and Lan Yuexuan are small heads, and the big heads are Sanfang, and they deduct silver from themselves. , Isn't that a joke!

But the Chen family didn't dare not agree to Xue family. Xue family blocked her back with a single sentence. How could the second younger siblings be OK? I'm a eldest sister-in-law. Could it be that the third younger siblings look down on me, my sister-in-law? It doesn't matter if I look down on my sister-in-law, but don't forget that our uncle is the elder brother of San Ye.

The Chen family had no choice but to honestly transfer the money. Xue family asked for a payment a year, but Chen did not agree, because there was no extra money on the account.

Xue did not make any noise anymore, turned his head and left.

This matter let the old lady know, she was furious, called Chen to curse **** head, and said she was okay.

This is a headache for Chen's, but it's a pain for the old lady.

It turns out that every host in the mansion has a fixed amount of food money, but that amount is actually a stale amount. The large kitchen is based on a fixed amount. In fact, the situation in the mansion has been poor in the past two years, and it has been reduced a lot on the surface. Leaving aside, secretly, Mama Zhao had already been instigated by the old lady and cut another knife with the old lady in charge of the kitchen.

To use the simplest analogy, in previous years, only Shen Yiyao’s monthly dietary silver was rated at one hundred taels. After several reductions in the past few years, it has been reduced to sixty taels. But even with these sixty taels, Shen Yiyao can’t finish it. of. The old lady chopped off some of the silver according to the previous example.

Now Shen Yiyao asks to allocate money for meals, that is to say, 60 taels of money will be allocated every month if the thunder cannot be beaten, not only the people below are deprived of oil and water, even the old lady has to spend more every month here.

There used to be Yan Yan and Yan Mo, but now there is another Shen Yiyao, plus the Dafang family, who have to spend nearly two hundred taels of silver each month. The old lady's heart, liver, lungs and kidneys are all painful.

But apart from scolding Chen for nothing to toss about, she can't say too much. She can't say that she feels bad for this little bit of money. It's not that she has gotten all that little bit of her own.

Within two days, the old lady slapped her mouth, all because of her anxiety. When I met my daughter-in-law, she couldn't tell the truth, she could only say that she had been upset recently. In order to show that she was really upset, the old lady ate the porridge for three days in a row.

Is it really getting angry? Except for Chen's stupid letter, Dafang and Erfangju didn't believe it.

The old lady was already overworked, and she was exhausted in recent years. After eating porridge for three days, she finally fainted.

The people below thought that the old lady was the culprit of an old problem, but they didn’t know that she was hungry and fainted. She was preparing to call someone to set up a car to invite the doctor. Who knows that the old lady woke up again. It turned out that Zhao’s mother was in a hurry and pinched the old lady’s people. .

She knew her own body, and the old lady might go to the doctor, and she ate some softly before she came back to life. That night, the old lady was leaning on the big pillow and calculating the money at hand, thinking that she was getting old, and she was living like this, she couldn't help tears streaming down her life.

Mother Zhao was also very sad, and the master and servant cried in each other's arms.

I cried and cried, and when I got up the next day, I still had to live my life.

In a blink of an eye came the day of autumn hunting in Mengshan.

**

Mengshan Paddock is not far from the capital, it's just over a day away.

This place was designated as a royal paddock as early as Tai/Zu's time for royal hunting.

The Mengshan paddock occupies a large area, with mountains, waters and a vast expanse of endless grassland. Tai/zu came here that year and was delighted to see that the landforms here are rare and very good for hunting, so he decreed to open up this place as a royal enclosure.

In the early days of the Daxi Kai dynasty, the people were sturdy, everyone admired martial arts, and the emperor of the horse, in order to let the descendants remember the demeanor of their ancestors and not to be greedy for pleasure, they set the rules of autumn hunting every year.

It has been passed down to this day, although it is not once a year as it did in the past, it is also held every two or three years.

When Yan Yan and the others arrived, many people had already arrived at the Mengshan Paddock Camp. The felt tents on the top of the cone-shaped tents have been erected.

Weiyuan Hou Mansion divided two felt tents, next to each other. One is smaller and the other is larger. After Shen Yiyao stopped, she took her son and daughter into the larger and smaller one and left it to Yan Ting.

This felt tent has a large area. As soon as you enter it, there is an open space. The floor is covered with red felt. A screen is placed in the center. There is a small table in front of the screen, and two on each side of the lower head. It's a cyan cushion, which is a place for hospitality. There is a door in the center and on the left and right of the screen, leading to the resting place. Shen Yiyao is in the middle, Yan Mo is on the left, and Yan Yan is on the right. The room is about the same size, with a low couch in the back, a few low tables and a screen, and then nothing else.

The cages on the carriage and the small soft pieces are unloaded one by one. The people responsible for moving the cages are all family members of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion. After the things are put down and put back, they still have to go back to the capital, waiting for the masters to return. When I was in the mansion, I set up a car to pick it up again. The camp cannot accommodate so many people.

This time, Yan Yan took Yiyun and Yimeng, Yan Mo took Yinger and Yaner, and Shen Yiyao took Cuiqiao and Cuiping. The place is only this big, but there are no slaves and maids to live in. Fortunately, everyone's room is not small, so it's good for the close girl and the master to live in the same room.

In a short while, the felt tent was set up. The low couch was covered with a soft and smooth bedding, surrounded by a thin gauze tent, and a low table served as a dressing table, on which was placed a makeup cushion and a bronze mirror comb. Evian and Yimeng’s quilt was placed at the corner of the felt tent, and the floor was covered with a clean and soft red felt cushion. When it was time to open the quilt, put a layer of quilt on, and you could rest.

As soon as Yan Yan sat down, Liu Shuyi found her.

It turned out that the people from Yiyong Hou's Mansion arrived first, and Liu Shuyi was bored. Hearing that Yan Yan had also arrived, she came to play with her.

She wore a water-blue riding outfit with a wide-brimmed aqua-brimmed belt around her waist, which was even more slender and slender. The black crow's long hair was pulled up in a bun at the back, but there were two thin braids on the left and right sides, which looked quite delicate.

"Oh, why are you still wearing these? Quickly change your clothes and let's go out on horseback."

Liu Shuyi likes to come to the Mengshan paddock the most, because it is unrestrained, and there is no need to wear cumbersome dresses, beautiful hair buns, and all kinds of jewelry on her head, hands and neck. Her father Yiyong Hou Shizi is the commander of Jinwuwei, who is a confidant of the sage, and will follow every time Mengshan hunts, so Liu Shuyi is very familiar with this place.

Yan Yan had been here twice, but when she was still young, she didn't understand the situation around Liu Shuyi.

Yan Yan smiled at Liu Shuyi and went to change clothes behind the screen, but when she came out she was wearing a Haitang red narrow-sleeved riding attire. She went to sit down in front of the dressing table, Evian removed her hair bun and combed her hair again, Liu Shuyi clamored for Yan Yan to have the same hairstyle as her, and Evian combed Yan Yan according to her hairstyle. Exactly the same.

When the makeup was done, the two went to Shen Yiyao, who seemed to be a pair of sisters. One is playful and cute, the other is tall and beautiful, and looks beautiful as a flower.

Yan Mo knew that the two were going to ride a horse, and were eager. Liu Shuyi squeezed his little cheek, and she had to let him call her sister before taking him there. Yan Mo was also refreshed and called Sister Shuyi with a smile, but if she gave Liu Shuyi to Mei De, she couldn't find Bei.

The three of them left the tent together and went to the camp where the horses were released.

The horses of various houses are posted here, and the handyman in the paddock is responsible for keeping them. Yan Yan came out this time to bring the black jade, and there is a maroon mare for Yan Mo. Yan Mo already knows how to ride a horse, but he is not adept enough, so he can only ride this kind of docile pony.

Liu Shuyi's horse, named Duo'er, is a white mare. She cherishes Duo'er. She keeps touching her nose and feeding her sweets.

"Ayan, do you see if my Doer is very beautiful!"

Duoer is indeed a very beautiful steed, handsome and handsome, with beautiful stature, big amber eyes and wet, he can be seen extremely docile.

As soon as Liu Shuyi finished being proud, her eyes were attracted by a black horse.

This black horse is taller than Do'er. It has black hair and no trace of variegated color. Every part of the body is matched so well. The muscles are full of beauty of strength. I saw it hiss lightly, its head raised proudly, shaking its plump mane, and flying freely.

"This horse is so beautiful!"

Liu Shuyi's eyes were straight.

Then she saw the horseman handing the reins of the horse to Yan Yan's hands, and said in amazement: "A Yan, this is your horse? What's its name, it's so beautiful, can I touch it?"

As he said, people just leaned forward on their own.

It's a pity that Heiyu wouldn't let her touch, and when she saw her hand stretched out, he avoided it. Duo'er gently scratched his hoof behind Liu Shuyi and snorted, as if a little jealous.

"It's called Black Jade, and it's more than two years old this year."

Yan Yan turned around and stroked Heiyu's nose, soothing it, and Liu Shuyi's hand touched it.

Liu Shuyi glanced at the black jade, then went to see her own duoer, and looked back and forth several times, she had to admit that the black jade was more beautiful.

She squashed her small mouth, wrinkled her face, turned around and touched Duoer again, "Although your black jade is very beautiful, my Duoer is not bad, I still like Duoer."

The look of Liu Shuyi made Yan Yan amused, and Yan Mo also pouted and laughed.

Duoer put out her tongue to lick Liu Shuyi's face, licking her so hard that she laughed.

"Okay, okay, you little vinegar bag, I'm just looking at it, it's not that I don't want you anymore."

The black jade who stood beside Yan Yan snorted and turned his horse's head to look at the place, seeming to be very disdainful of the same kind of charms and cuteness.

Yan Mo's little mare was also led over. He looked at the meek little mare with a bitter face, and then looked at the two horses that were tall, strong, and handsome.

He is a boy, but not as good as two girls!

Yan Yan seemed to see his younger brother's thoughts and rubbed his head, "When you get good equestrian skills and grow taller, I will find you a horse like black jade."

Yan Mo grabbed the reins, pursed his lips and nodded solemnly. He decided that he must take advantage of these days in the paddock to practice his equestrian skills, instead of just riding on a pony.

The three of them got on their horses and left the camp. Liu Shuyi rode Doer in front, Yan Yan in the middle, and Yan Mo in the end. All the way to an extremely empty grassland, the three stopped.

"A Yan, let's compare with each other?"

Yan Yan nodded readily, "Okay."

If Yan Mo told him to stay where he was, the two could relax the reins and let the two horses run.

The steed should belong to the prairie, not the narrow horse house. Although Yan Yan has tried his best to take care of the black jade, it can be seen that she still likes a wider place.

The black jade's long mane was scattered, and Lei Chi sprinted forward, his four hooves were not touching the ground, like a gust of wind. Yan Yan could feel Heiyu's excitement, and even felt the pulse beating under its muscles. She didn't want to hold it, let it run forward wantonly.

After running for a while, Hei Yu slowed down, and Yan Yan heard Liu Shuyi's shout behind her.

She held the rein of the horse, stopped and waited.

"Knowing that I can't run you, you don't have to be so fierce, I am exhausted!"

Liu Shuyi saw Yan Yan running away in a hurry. At first, she chased her for a while, but later saw that Yan Yan couldn't catch up, and she saw Yan Yan running farther and farther, but she was even more worried about her losing her way. .

Yan Yan smiled embarrassedly, and touched the horse under her body, "Heiyu has been detained for a long time, and once he let it go, he didn't stop it."

Liu Shuyi can understand the feelings of this, because she had been in the paddock earlier, and when she came out for a stroll, she had the same behavior.

"Let's go, let's go back, your brother is still waiting there, don't make him wait in a hurry."

The two horses ran back, feeling fast when they came, but they ran back for a quarter of an hour.

Seeing a few small black spots there from a distance, Yan Yan's eyes were much better than Liu Shuyi's. She narrowed her eyes and ran over with her horse's belly.

Yan Mo stopped at the same place and waited for the two of them to return from the race, feeling a little bored, so he rode on the little mare and ran slowly on the spot.

He has just learned to ride a horse, but he dare not run too fast.

While practicing, suddenly a few people came.

Most of these teenagers are around 13 or 14 years old, all riding horses. Most of the children who can appear here are from the family of the minister of honor in Beijing.

They seem to have made an appointment to come here for a horse race. Seeing that there is a child running in a circle here, they stepped forward and drove Yan Mo away. Yan Mo ignored them and ran away on his horse. Unexpectedly, these people rushed forward again, saying that they were going to race here and let Yan Mo go farther.

With such a large venue, you can race horses between the eyes, but to catch a child, it seems a bit too domineering. The young man who had no choice but to take the lead was so domineering, and Yan Mo started arguing with these people.

Yan Mo was so obedient in front of Yan Yan. In fact, he was not a good-looking person. Perhaps due to his childhood illness and weakness, he was incapable of using his hands, but he was a personality that could anger a group of people.

With a shy smile on his mouth, his attitude was leisurely, but what he said made these teenagers wow, wow, wow.

The gorgeously dressed young man in the lead raised his whip angrily. Yan Mo's insight was not good, so he prepared to avoid the immediate loss, and hid first, and waited for Sister A to come back before taking revenge. It's a pity that he has more than enough energy. His equestrian skills are so bad. He obviously wants to avoid him, but he doesn't listen to his commands.

Just at this moment, a brown whip flew over, rolled up his waist, and tore him off the horse.

He squinted his eyes and was not afraid, he felt that someone had caught him. He took the opportunity to lie down in his sister's arms, tearful, "Sister, they bullied me!"

The sharp gaze swept over like a knife, and the boys were stunned at the spot.

I saw a girl in the red riding attire of Begonia, riding on a black horse. She has a pair of eyebrows that look like ink paintings, flying diagonally into the temple, a straight nose, and a nice shape. The skin is better than snow, and the red lips are even more beautiful. Especially her demeanor, self-conscious and confident, revealing an unusual domineering attitude inadvertently.

She was as beautiful as a flame, scorching and dazzling, and she seemed to sting people accidentally.

"Courageous?"

The horses under the hips of these teenagers are all good horses, but they are a lot worse than the black jade. The black jade has long and strong legs. In comparison, their horses have short legs. Riding on the same horse, but shiningly shorter than the human.

Liu Shuyi ran over on Duo'er and looked at the leader boy intently. She immediately scolded: "Wow, Chu Mingchen is you again! You will die if you don't bully people for one day?!"

The young man named Chu Mingchen hesitated and his eyes flickered: "How can I bully people, willow branches, don't spit people!"

"I just saw you raising your whip and wanting to hit someone, so I said no!"

"It's that kid who is too annoying."

He wanted to point at Yan Mo, but Yan Mo sat in front of Yan Yan, and he seemed a little afraid to look at Yan Yan. She stiffened her neck to stare at Liu Shuyi, grunted her nose, and straightened her chest.

"I just want to scare him, yes! That's it!"

Yan Yan was a little angry at first, but when she saw the boy's extremely childish behavior, her anger disappeared. What's more, she also knows the character of her younger brother. She is quite familiar with Luo Xiaopang's true biography, and she is well versed in the way of being angry with one's life.

She glared at Yan Mo, and Yan Mo shrank her neck, as honest as a quail. ?
