Chapter 31: Provocation (2)
As soon as An Beiyue's words came out, everyone was shocked.
Before Li Yu could do anything, Li Heng jumped up, pointed at An Beiyue's nose and scolded: "An Beiyue, you turtle grandson, where is your dog paw worthy of one of my brother's fingernails?
An Beiyue was insulted by Li Heng three times and twice, and at this time he couldn't bear it, and stared at Li Heng with a cold face: "Li Heng! Don't blame me for not warning you! If you dare to speak disrespectfully, be careful that I kill you!"
Li Heng said disdainfully: "Kill me, you come! If you don't kill me, you will be a brute who can only talk big!"
An Beiyue's forehead was bruised, and he was about to speak, but was interrupted impatiently by Li Yu: "An Beiyue, what are you competing with a child?
An Beiyue took a deep breath and sneered: "Since the prince said so, he must not do anything to lose his share?" Okay, I will make an appointment with you today, if you don't dare to respond, you can do it, go out and kneel down and kowtow to me three times in front of people, and the grievances between us will be over." ”
Li Heng wanted to speak again, but was stopped by Li Yu's eyes.
"You just said that the person who lost cut off his palm?" Li Yu looked at An Beiyue, as if thoughtful.
An Beiyue showed a cold smile: "That's right!
Li Yu tilted his head to think about it, and then smiled, his handsome face seemed to be coated with a layer of warm light, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
"Then bet on it. Li Yu said lazily and indifferently, as if he should not make a bet with the palm of his own hand, but something inconsequential.
An Beiyue smiled.
Li Heng was anxious: "Brother, don't bet with him, do you know what the idea behind this turtle grandson is? This grandson is used to playing yin." ”
An Beiyue was in a very good mood when he saw that Li Yu should go, and he didn't care about Li Heng scolding him at this time, and when he finished cleaning up Li Yu, he could rectify the small ones as he wanted, and then let him look good.
"Then it's decided, how about the time set in three days?" An Beiyue said with a smile.
Li Yu didn't bother to look at him anymore, and waved his hand.
An Beiyue smiled coldly, walked away with his hands behind his back, and deliberately stared at Feng Yu before leaving, with an imperative ruthlessness in his eyes.
Seeing that Li Heng and Feng Yu were both looking at him worriedly, Li Yu couldn't help laughing, he got up from the couch and stood in front of the window.
Outside the window, in the middle of the Colosseum, stood a giant wolf with silver hair all over his body, and if this wolf had stood upright, he would have been about the height of an adult, and he would have been born majestic.
The other beasts were all locked in huge iron cages, or roaring or viciously tearing at the bloody raw food under their claws, but this silver wolf was not locked, it did not even have a chain on its body, whether it was against the beast that roared at it or the person who stood far away because it was afraid of it, it did not even look at it, it only stood there, and the cold wolf eyes were full of pride.
When Li Yu stood in front of the window, it turned its head keenly to look over, and then raised its head and let out a loud wolf howl, Li Yu gestured to it, and the silver wolf slowly walked to a large wooden basin with fresh meat, and lowered its head to eat the food that others had put in front of its eyes and it disdained.
Watching the interaction between Li Yu and the silver wolf, Mu Zhizhen, who had not spoken out, spoke: "Changqin, is there no problem with An Beiyue's side? ”
Hearing this, Li Yu leaned against the window lattice and turned around lazily and said: "What's wrong? Do you think that he, a waste who has always been greedy for life and afraid of death, can only play yin, actually challenge me directly, and the bet is still one of his own palms?"
Mu Zhizhen nodded: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, you have to be careful." ”
Li Yu curled the corners of his mouth: "I'm really a little curious, what method they came up with to deal with me this time." ”
"They?" Mu Zhizhen frowned when he heard what Li Yu had already said.
Li Heng, who was listening to it, suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, and said indignantly: "Brother, is there still something about Li Rong's kid?"
Li Yu glanced at Li Heng with some surprise, and said with a smile: "Ah Heng, why do you have a very bright mind every time you encounter something about Li Rong? ”
When Li Heng heard this, he looked at Li Yu strangely and aggrievedly, as if he had eaten something dirty.
Mu Zhizhen frowned: "Li Rong, the eighth prince?"
Li Yu said with a smile: "What do you want to do now, what tricks they want to play will be known when the time comes." By the way, I suddenly remembered that three days later it happened to be the birthday of the Duchess of Yasukuni?"
Mu Zhizhen nodded: "My eldest sister explained early in the morning, and I will go to celebrate my birthday at that time." The Jin Wangfu should have also received the post, right?"
Li Yu blinked and said, "Well, when the time comes, I will go to the Yasukuni Mansion with you to celebrate my birthday, so that your brother-in-law will not let people drive me out." ”
Mu Zhizhen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Nonsense again!"
Li Heng shouted unwillingly on the side: "I'll go too! lest I meet those turtle grandchildren when the time comes, brother, you don't have a helper by your side!"
Li Yu glanced at Li Heng: "For a person who can't even beat a woman, what can I expect him to help?" But then again...... Li Xiaoheng, can we continue the previous topic?"
Li Heng's scalp tightened, pretending to be stupid: "What was the topic before?"
Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was smiling: "What do you say?"
......
After He Linwan went back, Wei asked her about the Yuan family, and He Linwan omitted to gamble with Li Heng, only saying that he swam the Yuan family's lake with Yuan Xiang and Zhao Qingqing.
The maid who has been serving beside a master like He Linwan for a long time, such as Chunxiao, knows what to say and what not to say, what to say when the master asks, and to pretend to be stupid when the master does not take the initiative to ask, so Wei didn't ask her, she kept her mouth shut, and didn't mention the grievances between He Linwan and Li Heng for a word.
When it was time to rest at night, He Linwan lay on the bed with her eyes open, listening to the slight snoring of Chunxiao who was sleeping outside, she couldn't fall asleep over and over, so she simply got up and got out of bed.
Chunxiao heard the sound of snoring and immediately stopped, and her voice was vague when she had just woken up: "Girl, are you up? Do you want to drink tea? ”
He Linwan stopped him in a loud voice: "No need, you continue to sleep, I will call you when I need you." ”
Chunxiao thought that He Linwan was going to be respectful so he didn't like to be served, so he lay down again, and said in a daze: "If the girl needs to call the slave maid, just call the slave maid, the slave maid feels light." ”
Not long after this sentence was finished, He Linwan heard Chunxiao's snoring again.
He Linwan walked to the table and sat down, poured himself a glass of water, sat stunned for a while, and then took out the pendant and the IOU written by Li Heng and put them on the table.
The reason why He Linwan knew that the "Plum Garden" was in Li Heng's hands was because he had inquired. The foundation of the Yang family is mainly in their ancestral hometown of Wuzhou, and their branch has a big mansion in Wuzhou, and my grandfather originally planned to return to the ancestral house in Wuzhou this year to retire. Because his uncle and father had official positions in Beijing, they bought a four-entry courtyard in the east of the capital.
After the Yang family was convicted, all the family property was confiscated, and the ancestral house in Wuzhou did not know what to do, and the four-entry mansion in the capital was later sold by the government.
The "Plum Garden" in the eastern suburbs took a lot of thought because of the construction time, very elegant and exquisite, at first it was also bought by a merchant, and then changed hands twice, somehow it was taken by the prince of Jin who happened to pass by, and bought it from others.
When he met Li Heng in the Yuan family today, He Linwan originally didn't think about Meiyuan, but later he was angry with Li Heng's scoundrel face, and he won Meiyuan on impulse.
Now that Li Heng really lost Mei Yuan to her, she felt that it was a little tricky.
Li Yu, the son of the King of Jin, has met He Lin a few times before, but because his reputation is not very good, and she has a marriage contract and needs to avoid suspicion, she is respectful of people like Li Yu. She heard that this prince was a gentleman who spent a lot of money, and his temper was not very good.
If it was possible, He Linwan really didn't want to confront such a person. But the plum garden was built and given to her by her grandfather with countless painstaking efforts, and there are memories of her and her loved ones, and she must get it back.
This night, He Linwan sat under the lamp and thought about this, and did not sleep all night.
Early the next morning, when He Linwan followed Wei to greet the old lady, his spirit was not very good. Wei asked her, and she only said that it was because of the hot weather and she didn't sleep well.
Recently, the fourth wife, Yu, is particularly active in going to the old lady's yard to ask for peace, and every time she arrives early in the morning, helping to serve the old lady to wash, today Wei took He Lin to the old lady's house late when he heard Yu's courteous voice.
“...... Old lady, you like this taste, this osmanthus head oil is I specially sent people to the best fat powder shop in Beijing to buy it in the fragrance pavilion, and it took several days to keep such a can, knowing that you like the osmanthus flavor of the head oil the most, so I quickly sent it to you. ”
Wei and He Lin opened the curtain and entered the house, and saw that Yu was combing the old lady's hair, and the second lady was picking out the headdress for the old lady to wear today.
Wei was accustomed to the cold treatment of the old lady, so he did not feel disappointed and aggrieved, and saw that there was no place for her to stand in front of the old lady, so he led a pair of children to stand quietly aside.
The old lady continued Yu's previous words: "This smell is strange and good, but this Wenxiang Pavilion's head oil is so difficult to buy?"
Yu was very proud that the old lady talked to her but ignored Wei, and when she heard this, she glanced at Wei and explained with a smile: "Old lady, you don't know, although the things in Wenxiang Pavilion are more popular than other fat powder shops on weekdays, they are not like now, and you have to wait for three or five days to buy a head oil, because the palace is about to draft girls this year, and now not only the business of rouge and gouache shops is good, but also those jewelry shops and clothing shops are also very good." ”
The old lady seemed to think of something when she heard this, and turned her head to the second lady and said, "Speaking of draft girls, I remember that Gillian's daughter is also of the right age this year, right?"
The second lady smiled when she heard this: "Mother remembers well, my aunt's daughter Sister Rong is sixteen years old this year, and she is also going to Beijing to come to the draft." ”
Saying that, the second lady picked out a pair of tourmaline heads and gave them to the old lady, and the old lady looked at it as if it was too plain, and pointed to another pair of red gold inlaid with eight treasures. The second lady did not insist, and took out the head mask selected by the old lady and asked the Yu family to put it on the old lady.
The old lady said: "Sister Rong originally wanted to go to the palace for three years to run for election, but unfortunately there was a drought in the south that year, and it was inevitable that the people and the people would be hurt and the saint would exempt the show girl from entering Beijing that year. I don't want Sister Rong'er's delay to be three years. Gillian doesn't like to listen to my mother's words, and her daughter has to wait to enter the palace to run for election if she doesn't get married when she is so old, if she can't be elected, won't it be delayed in vain?"
The second lady smiled and persuaded: "You also know that Mrs. Gu gave birth to Sister Rong, of course she hoped that she would go to a higher place." I see that Sister Rong looks like an old lady, you are a blessed child. ”
Hearing this, Yu quietly glanced at the old lady's dark, thin, and boring face, and couldn't help pouting in his heart, but he smiled and complimented: "What the second aunt said is reasonable." ”
The old lady felt comfortable listening to it, but she couldn't help but sigh when she thought of her daughter: "I really can't complain about Gillian, she married into the Chu family for ten years and didn't come out, and finally had to let my uncle take a maid and give birth to a son, I don't want the concubine to be born less than half a year after she was pregnant herself, but unfortunately she still has no heirs in her life, and finally gave birth to a daughter." The Chu family is also a big family in Huizhou, and Gillian must not have had a good time over the years, she doesn't expect this only daughter to count on anyone. ”
The second lady comforted her softly: "Isn't there still an old lady here?" I will send a letter to my aunt later, and ask her when Sister Rong will enter Beijing this year, so we can prepare in advance." With us in the capital, it will be more convenient to do it when the time comes. ”
When the old lady heard this, she looked at how the second lady looked and felt satisfied, patted her hand and said, "Good boy, you are still thinking about her sister-in-law, so I will leave this matter to you." ”
The old lady was in a good mood, and when she saw that Yu helped her comb her hair, she was very satisfied with the bright appearance on her head, and praised her casually: "You are also a good boy, skillful." ”
Yu looked at Wei Shi, who was standing silently with his head bowed, and was humble in his mouth and proud in his heart.
The second lady also noticed Wei and said to her with a smile: "By the way, I have something to tell you." The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the Duchess of Yasukuni, and on that day you and I will go to the Yasukuni Mansion to pay respects. ”
Saying that, Wei glanced at He Linwan again, and said with a smile: "Take Ah Wan with you too." ”
