14. The storm is rising

Chapter 14 The Storm Rises

On this day, Tian Yunyuan's small kitchen was cleaned up. Yun Wuniang posted a post and invited the sisters to gather in Tian Yunyuan.

It had been snowing for several days, and now there are still snowflakes. The girls were already stuffy in their own rooms. All of them came happily for a while. Even Siniang begged the old lady and sent her over in a warm sedan chair.

Wu Niang entertained guests in the flower hall, the soup made of mushrooms was boiling in the pot, and all kinds of vegetables, vermicelli, bean skin and other dishes were placed around. On the other side, the girls are turning over vegetarian skewers on the wire rack back and forth. When the sauce is smeared on the skewers, the aroma spreads.

Sanniang sniffed hard and said, "This girl will still eat." The roast is so fragrant, after eating and drinking a bowl of hot soup, there is nothing to be unhappy about. ”

Yun Wuniang roasted some of the various dishes, and sent the girl to the elders and brothers, "Although it's not a valuable thing, it's just a fun meal, please enjoy everyone's face." ”

Shuangniang laughed: "The second brother is at home today, you sent this thing over." Maybe he'll ask you for the secret recipe in a moment. These days, I'm struggling to entertain his friends. You've got it in his hands. ”

Yun Wuniang didn't care: "This thing, a barbed wire, a charcoal fire rack, what other secret recipes." It's just those sauces, and it's not worth anything. ”

Yun Liuniang ate a baked cake first: "Out of the country's filial piety, I skewered meat skewers to bake, it tastes better." It has to be a good sauce. ”

Yun Wuniang flipped the skewers in her hand: "Let me boast to you, I think I opened a sauce shop in the city, I'm afraid it's all good business." ”

Yun Sanniang sneered, "You have a reputation, you just open a shop that sells vegetables, and the business is the same fire." ”

A room full of people laughed.

"It's a pity that the eldest sister is not here, so I can't enjoy this deliciousness. Sanniang took a skewer of roasted quail eggs in her hand: "It's really much more convenient to eat like this." ”

Yun Wuniang handed one sweet potato skewer to one person: "The eldest sister is back, just bake it again." No hassle. He pointed to the sweet potato skewers and said, "Don't dislike this thing for being vulgar, it tastes good." ”

Siniang kept eating and didn't stop talking. This stuff is all vegetarian, and I'm not afraid that it can't be digested. Seeing that the girls didn't stop her, they were eating deliciously. When I heard someone talk about Yuan Niang, I answered: "In the past two days, there have been a lot of rumors about the Temple of Mercy and Grace. You know what. ”

We don't know where to go. I'm stuffy in the house these days.

It's Siniang who lives with the old lady, so the news is naturally better than them.

Listening to Siniang's words, several people were stunned. Yun Wuniang handed over the work in her hand to Zi Qi, took a skewer of roasted taro herself, and leaned over.

Sanniang asked, "What rumors?" We haven't heard of it. ”

Siniang put down the bamboo skewer in her hand, took the taro in Wuniang's hand, and took a bite before saying, "It is said that the Bodhisattva has appeared." ”

Wu Niang was stunned, she didn't know if others believed it or not, anyway, she didn't believe it. But how did this happen when Yuan Niang went to Ci'en Temple? Don't get involved.

Shuangniang and Sanniang glanced at each other, obviously thinking of this problem.

Liuniang smiled: "What a manifestation method." "She's really curious.

"It is said that the light of the Buddha has appeared. Outside the Temple of Mercy and Grace, a porridge shed was opened. Many poor people were gathered. So, when the Buddha's light appeared, many people saw it at that time. The Buddha statue in front of the Temple of Mercy and Grace is shrouded in the light of the Buddha. Siniang seemed to know what they were worried about: "But the eldest sister's luck is not good, when the Buddha light appeared, it happened to be the evening before the eldest sister went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace." The eldest sister went early the next morning, and at that time, the news of Buddha Light had not yet come. ”

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether the Buddha is true or not, as long as it has nothing to do with Yuan Niang, there is no need to care about these idle things.

Siniang smiled and said, "However, my grandfather and the second and third uncles didn't come back on time, guess where they went." ”

Sanniang's face changed: "Won't you also go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace." She stood up suddenly: "They are following the Holy Emperor." Isn't it a holy ......?"

Siniang smiled mysteriously: "The saint drove back to Luan, but he didn't just pass by the Temple of Mercy and Grace." Coincidentally, when the Buddha's light appeared, it was when the emperor passed by the Temple of Mercy and Grace. It is said that it is the holy benevolence that the Buddha's light appears. ”

Yun Wu Niang said in her heart, this Buddha light must be treated as real regardless of whether it is true or not. If anyone doubts, they are not questioning the benevolence of God.

What a clever means.

This is because even the Holy One was kidnapped in this incident.

However, make sure you keep your hands and feet clean. But if something goes wrong, someone will find out in secret. That's not fun. Although it can't be punished openly, the methods used in the secret are definitely something that no one wants to try.

The emperor is not a fool.

Liu Niang came over with a bowl of soup and said while drinking: "Eldest sister is afraid that she will not be free in the temple." When the holy car arrives, don't you have to avoid it? ”

"With my grandfather and father here, I'm not afraid of people colliding with me. Shuangniang held the roasted tofu balls in her hand and said casually.

Sanniang is a little distracted. Yuan Niang is not a person who is willing to accept her fate.

How could things be so coincidental, and no matter how you look at it, it seems to be arranged. Yuan Niang goes to the Temple of Mercy and Grace every year. This is not surprising. Even if I went early this year, it was because there was snow on the road and it was inconvenient to walk. This is also said in the past. But it just so happened that the day she chose happened to be when the emperor returned to Luan. Her destination happened to be the only way for the emperor to return to Beijing. Originally, the granddaughter of a courtier should have avoided it when she saw the holy car. But at this time, the Temple of Mercy and Grace, where the emperor must pass, showed the light of the Buddha. The emperor naturally stayed. One is that the sky will snow heavily, and the emperor wants to pray for good wind and rain. Second, the queen mother is newly mourned, and the emperor wants to pray for the queen mother. When encountering such auspiciousness, there is no reason not to stay for a day and a half. So, the purpose of Yuan Niang......

Sanniang felt that her breathing was short. She secretly said in her heart, no! Yuan Niang shouldn't have such courage. Besides, she doesn't have such a manpower. But another voice said, "Why not?" Anyway, there is no way out, fight once, maybe it will be clear.

If Yuan Niang really ran for the emperor, then I'm afraid things are really bad.

Whether it is the queen or the imperial concubine, they will not want the Yun family to have a concubine.

However, looking at it the other way, when my grandfather knew about it, he would have stopped it, or would he have pushed the boat.

The greatest possibility for grandfather and father is to pretend to be confused. If Yuan Niang succeeds, then the Yun family will jump out of the circle of the three princes and become another force alone. If Yuan Niang can't succeed, the loss is just the granddaughter of a concubine.

Over the years, my grandfather and father have not thought about sending the girl from the family into the palace, but under the interference of the queen and the imperial concubine, it has not been successful.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cover her chest, she felt that she had touched the truth.

Sanniang's strangeness, not to mention Wuniang, even the other sisters also noticed it.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Niang understood the strangeness in this. However, these words can only be muttered in the heart, but they can never be pronounced.

All of a sudden, no matter how good the food is, there is no appetite.

The girls in the room didn't know why the girls who were fine just now were silent.

It just so happened that the girl in the courtyard of the second master, Yun Jiawang, came over, saying that she wanted some more skewers, and the other was to ask for a recipe.

Yun Wuniang smiled and broke the stiff atmosphere: "I was really expected by the second sister." With that, he sent the girl to send all kinds of sauces. Take away all the skewers that were grilled to Yun Jiawang.

Several people sat down at the table and drank hot soup. The shabu-shabu didn't move at all, and it all scattered.

Yun Wuniang sent away a few sisters and rewarded the rest of the things to the girls in the yard

Liu Niang accompanied Wu Niang back to the study, and when she saw that there were only two sisters in the room, she asked in a low voice: "The third sister doesn't seem to suspect that this qiē is calculated by the eldest sister." ”

Yun Wuniang nodded: "Don't blame the third sister for suspecting, it's too much of a coincidence." ”

Liuniang's face changed: "Mo Fei, the eldest sister is aiming at ......" She didn't dare to say, she only pointed to the top.

Yun Wuniang smiled bitterly, this time Yuan Niang is really hard enough.

Liuniang's face turned white, and her voice trembled a little: "But this is the filial piety period, if something ugly really happens, our sisters' reputation will be over." ”

Yun Wuniang closed her eyes. Liuniang's worries were right. Even, worse than she thought.

Regardless of whether this thing is successful or not, the reputation of the sisters in the family has to be taken into it by Yuan Niang.

asked Yuan Niang to calculate, she can enter the palace by herself, although it is disgraceful, but it is a way out. But this girl from the Yun family has a reputation for filial piety. The rest of their sisters have to take a future for Yuan Niang's calculations at any cost.

If Yun Niang doesn't succeed, her reputation can only get worse. No one is blind, and her intentions can be understood by a discerning person. Hook up people, haven't hooked up yet. People can only say something more ugly. At that time, the reputation of the sisters was tired, and she herself had to be abandoned by the Guogong Mansion. Otherwise, it will not be able to calm the anger of the queen and the imperial concubine in the palace.

There are thousands of roads, but she chose the most difficult one.

Liuniang's eyes were red: "What should I do now." Grandfather and father are here, and they shouldn't be watching her nonsense. ”

Wu Niang smiled mockingly. Yuan Niang succeeded, and opened another door for the Guogong Mansion. If you have a concubine, you may give birth to a prince. With the prince, the Guogong Mansion will face a new opportunity. It's worth it. Not to mention just a few granddaughters. The granddaughter of the Guogong Mansion, even if she has a bad reputation, can't she get married? It's just that the conditions are lower. As for whether the girls are happy or not, whether their lives are good, none of them are in the grandfather's consideration. If Yuan Niang doesn't succeed, it's just a disdainful granddaughter from the Guogong Mansion, and if she gives it up, what's the big deal. Everything is risky, and if you want a big return, you must be prepared to pay the price. The future of several granddaughters is just that, as long as it doesn't hurt the Guogong Mansion, as the grandfather of the grandfather of the country, what reason is there not to acquiesce.
