Chapter 174: Falling Horses
The Jockey Club of Ningjia Villa is undoubtedly the most concerned and gossip in recent times, who is the most beautiful, who is the most expensive in the whole shop to show off at the Jockey Club, who who and who who showed off the piano skills at the banquet after the Jockey Club...... From before the meeting to after the meeting, the streets and alleys are really full of avenues and gossip.
However, the most touching thing is that Qiu Yanran, the concubine of the Marquis of Qingyuan, fell off the horse and broke her leg. How sad you say this girl must be, who one moment was in the limelight with a dazzling and splendid riding costume and exquisite riding skills, and the next moment she fell from her horse without warning, and was trampled on her knees by the horse's hooves. Didn't you say that the jujube red horse named "Red Flame" was a good friend who had accompanied the autumn girl for many years, and was the most humane?
Zhiruo was also taken aback when she heard the news: "Falling off the horse? Is it Ruqiu's hands and feet?" She had seen Qiu Yanran run a horse in her previous life, her riding skills were indeed very good, and she was a familiar mount that had been raised for many years, if no one deliberately did anything, how could such an accident occur?
Don't forget to nod: "It should be." I deliberately ordered someone to keep an eye on Ruqiu, she asked people to pick a lot of herbs, grind out the juice, and put the silk threads in it to soak for a day and a night, and Qiu Yanran's riding costume was sewn and embroidered with those soaked silk threads. β
"Herbs?" Zhiruo had never even heard of, "what is it? Is it poisonous?"
Mo Forget shook his head: "Poison is not poisonous, it is still a secret recipe, which is used to make the color of the silk thread more dazzling, the embroidered color is more colorful, and the embroidery will leave a faint fragrance." However, if the smell of rue grass is mixed with orchid, it is a stimulus to horses. It will make the horse lose control and run wild. β
"Orchid?" Zhiruo narrowed her eyes, "There shouldn't be any orchids this season, and Qiu Yanran used orchid-scented balm that day?"
Ruchun reacted: "Girl, doesn't it mean that the one that has changed the fragrance for the longest time is the orchid?" Butterfly seven spices. is so hot, as a girl from the owner's family, can Qiu Yanran use it first?
Definitely. In the past, Liu Yun often had a quiet orchid fragrance, and if she suddenly realized, this Ruqiu was really a brave and resourceful person, no wonder she was unwilling to bow down to the naΓ―ve and ignorant self in her previous life.
Knowing that Ruqiu is going to destroy Qiu Yanran's good deeds. Zhiruo was also curious about what she would do. Think about it, and Ruqiu can control the conditions of use. It's nothing more than using hands and feet on the clothes, so that the clothes will crack or something out of time, or let people spread the gossip that Qiu Yanran has made a marriage with the fool of the Ding family and intends to lure Pan Shizi first......
Unexpectedly, Ren Ruqiu not only started more ruthlessly, but also adopted unaware technical means. is much more clever than she can think of, this is deliberately preparing to let Qiu Yanran go to half her life without dying!
However, no one should know what kind of herb it is, right?
"As far as I know. Herbacea is relatively rare in the north, and it mainly grows in the places where the Fan people live on the southern border. Therefore, very few people here know about the herb, and even fewer people know the secret recipe, and as for the miraculous effect of the combination of grass fragrance and orchid, it is even more mysterious as you can imagine. Mo Forget seemed to know Zhiruo's question, and explained first, "Inexplicably, I just thought that Ruqiu wouldn't get those grasses for no reason, so I was curious, so I took one back." Coincidentally, I took this grass that day and asked Uncle Zhang who knew it, and I happened to be seen by Ah Xiu, and asked me with a look of surprise if there is a lot of fragrant rue grass on Zhuangzi?
"Ah Xiu recognizes the herbs?" Zhiruo asked, too, Ah Xiu is good at embroidery, because he knows the herbs and knows the secret recipe of the herbs, so he will be surprised when he sees the herbs, "So, the matter of the grass fragrance is also what Ah Xiu said?"
"Yes," said Don't forget, "Ah Xiu once saw Xiao Liuzi and them walking on the back side of the mountain, so she reminded me that the aroma of the herb mixed with the orchid would irritate the horse, which her aunt had specifically mentioned when she taught her the secret recipe. β
The secret recipe to make embroidery more gorgeous? If you understand, Ruqiu's mother used to be the best embroiderer in the General's Mansion, it seems that she is a person in the south, and it should be the secret recipe left by her mother, right? Yes, in the previous life, after entering the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, Ruqiu's embroidery skills seem to be more exquisite, is it because the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion just happened to have the rare herb in the north?
Ruchun was stunned: "Ruqiu, this is killing people without seeing blood! It's terrible!" The sisters who used to get along day and night, the sisters who grew up together, although they have always had a lot of hearts, but they really didn't expect that they are so ruthless now!
The ruthless Aunt Xiu was sitting beside the bed of Qiu Yanran, who was still unconscious, with tears streaming down her eyes at this moment: "How could this be? How could this be? Didn't you say that the second girl's riding skills were very good? Didn't you say that there were many people there? Why did you see that our second girl fell and no one rescued her? Master, aren't you also there? Is someone deliberately bad because of jealousy?" "Really, why didn't you fall to your death? I was trampled on by a horse's hooves and only broke my left foot, this slut is really hard!"
"It was fine, but I don't know what's going on, they all started to slow down and were about to stop, and the red flame suddenly went crazy, and Pan Shizi, who was closest to him, was talking to his little guy and didn't notice it. Qiu Yiran also looked depressed, "Old lady Ning immediately asked people to check the scene, there was no abnormality, Chiyan also asked the professional Lang Zhong of Xishan Horse Farm to check, there was no problem, and there was no sign of being drugged, saying that it was a livestock after all, maybe it was suddenly uncomfortable or something." β
Aunt Xiu picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears, covered the smugness in her eyes, and drugged her?
Mrs. Qiu said impatiently: "I said a long time ago, this Ji family's mother and daughter are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, you don't believe it, and you still expect her to climb the high branches, what is happening now? Shame on our Qiu family again, right? Fortunately, this dead girl's life is hard, there is no big problem, Lang Zhong also said that the legs can be raised, otherwise, the Ding family will change from the in-laws to the enemy! Hmph, what did I say, this girl doesn't have that blessing, no matter how big her heart is, she must have that life, right? Her luck has long been tossed up by her mother, and it is already her blessing that the Ding family can take a fancy to her, or it is the blessing of me, an old woman. β
If Qiu Yanran is well-behaved and obedient enough, she also hopes that this granddaughter can climb to Pan Shizi and become the queen, and help Qiu Yiran and the Qiu family in the future, but this little slut has never been close to her, since the Ji family went to the family temple, she has become more perverse, and even has a ruthless attitude towards her and the Qiu family after marrying, the more developed Qiu Yanran is, the more uneasy she will be, and she will not retaliate against her in the future? It's better to marry into the Ding family, a fool's daughter-in-law, even if she is lucky enough to give birth to a boy and a girl, she can only have no worries about food and clothing, what can she rely on, and she can't rely on her mother's family, look at her ancestor's face?
Old Marquis Qiu glanced at his pale daughter on the bed who was still not awake, and sighed: "Mother, Yan'er is already like this, don't say those words, let her feel uncomfortable when she hears it." "But this daughter is really decrepit, Chiyan has been riding a horse for four or five years, how can she suddenly go crazy for a while, and after falling her, she has been fine again.
Maybe this is Yan'er's life, right? Old Marquis Qiu sighed: "Mother, Yan'er is like this, why don't you let the Ji family come back to take care of it?" Anyway, Qiu Yanran is the only concubine he has been in pain since she was a child.
Mrs. Qiu frowned, but thinking of Lang Zhong's repeated emphasis on "you must take care of it", "if something goes wrong, it is very likely to become lame", and she can't say no, the Ding family wants to save face, and they already have a stupid grandson, so they definitely don't want to marry another lame granddaughter-in-law, right?" After Ji came back, she couldn't take care of the house, so she could only walk in her own yard and Yan'er's yard, and she couldn't walk around anywhere else, which could be regarded as grounding. β
Old Marquis Qiu has no objection to this, indeed, if the punishment is completely canceled in less than a year, even if there is an excuse to take care of Qiu Yanran, it will not be justified. (To be continued) R466
