164 Under the Veneer

Chapter 164: Beneath the Surface

Qi Youfang?

Suddenly hearing this name again, a flash of light flashed in Liuniang's eyes. This girl from the Qi family, she really heard the fifth sister mention it. In the days before leaving Beijing, the fifth sister told herself a lot about the Qi family. Among them, this Qi Youfang was mentioned. What's more, he also personally experienced the incident of Qingping Garden. After seeing how she coerced the cousin of the Su family, she committed it.

Therefore, it was never her brain that this girl called herself jealous, but her force.

Liu Niang didn't show any other emotions, with a subtle smile on the corner of her mouth.

Yi Gu didn't see what Liu Niang was thinking about anything else. The Yun family and the Qi family are in-laws, and it is not strange that these girls know each other's rankings and lives.

Seeing that Liuniang didn't speak, Aunt Yi had no choice but to say: "Before, the Qi family didn't dare to put forward such conditions. But now, the Qi family is self-reliant, and there will be no more jealousy of the imperial court. Tu Hun naturally had to choose between Great Qin and the Qi family that was more favorable to them. And in this comparison, Daqin should be at a loss. After all, Tuhun borders the Qi family, and he is more afraid. And Da Qin seems to be a little out of reach. ”

Liu Niang lowered her head slightly, not very approving with her analysis. At the same time, I began to think about the purpose of Aunt Yi's visit.

It is true that Yi Gu is an old person of the Yun family. Even if there are some grievances, there will be no malice towards yourself. But if you want to use Yi Gu, this possibility is not very likely. She's just a woman who clings to a man, and she can't really help anything. It's not easy to stand on your own feet. In addition, she is also the same as herself, and it will only take ten days to get to Tuhun. The only difference is that she can't be free, while she can.

But even if she was free, would she really be able to approach her yard and come and see herself?

Liu Niang shook her head in her heart, this is absolutely impossible.

Then Aunt Yi is just a spokesperson. It was Yang Xiangguo who called her.

So what about the purpose?

Is it just for the sake of ventilation?

Or go to yourself to ask for credit. After all, it was Yang Xiangguo who supported her as the queen.

Liu Niang's heart was pounding, if she was really a little girl who didn't know anything, she was only afraid that she could only hug Aunt Yi and cry, and then she didn't let go of Yang Xiangguo.

Is he trying to gain his trust?

Liu Niang gently turned the bracelet on her wrist. Their sister's husband was also a great Confucian.

Before he left the capital, Mr. brought a gift, in addition to the history books, that is, the art of war.

The moment she got these things, she knew that she was no longer a girl who could eat and drink in the back house. She had to rely on what she had learned in the past to struggle to survive.

She even thought of another possibility at the moment. Is it really the turbulent lord who locked himself up here? Such a young lord with no rights, as for Yang Xiangguo's face for such a friendly princess? What's more, his identity is not an insult to this lord. On the contrary, it is the Qi family, no matter what happens in the future, at least for now, they can't get rid of the reputation of anti-thieves. How stupid it is to call such a girl a queen.

In the final analysis, Yang Xiangguo just wants to make himself desperate, wants to collapse himself, and wants to make himself unable to live, so he can manipulate his life.

Liu Niang smiled in her heart, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world.

My life has been dominated by someone else once, can I do it again?

If that's the case - I'd rather die!

Liuniang still smiled so shallowly, "I don't want anything else, as long as this small courtyard, with my girl, I can live a life in peace." If Aunt Yi could ask Lord Xiangguo to be accommodating and allow one person to come and go freely every day, I would be grateful. Of course, if my people go out to buy, they can also ask people from outside to follow. As she spoke, there were tears in her eyes, "What kind of person am I, others don't know, Aunt Yi doesn't know? No second sister will endure and know how to make trade-offs. It's not as good as the third sister, who has hills and ravines in her heart. The fourth sister is a good fate, and there are four uncles and four aunts to arrange the future. Behind the fifth sister stands the Jin family, and no one dares to underestimate such a background. What do I have? I don't have anything? There is an aunt in the capital who wants to live on my status as a princess. So, I can't even die. As long as I live, others will have to respect my aunt for one day. For her sake, I don't dare to make a mistake. In the past, my mother treated me harshly, but I didn't dare to say it, because I was afraid that my mother would turn around and bully my aunt even more. Today, the situation is still similar. The only thing I can do is do my part. It doesn't matter who becomes queen, I don't care. In my own home, I'm like that. Now that I am not familiar with life, what can I do?" she said, ignoring Aunt Yi's strange look, she put away the sadness on her face, and showed a heartless smile, pointed to the eaves, and said to Aunt Yi: "I have thought about it, under this roof, build a stove, shelter from the wind and rain, and make some delicious food by yourself." When I came, I also brought the seeds left in Tian Yunyuan, and in the future, I reclaimed the two parts of the yard and planted some onions, garlic and coriander. There are no outsiders in this courtyard, as long as one person walks through. Coarse tea and light rice to keep safe. If Aunt Yi looked at the past friendship and occasionally came to talk to me, I would be content. ”

A look of poverty and happiness, and no distractions.

It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, Aunt Yi believes it anyway. That's how Liu Niang lives in the Yun family. In the winter, I would rather freeze to death than complain.

It's something she can do.

Aunt Yi's mouth opened, "Sixth girl...... Now it's no better than at home. Whether the family doesn't dare to treat you too much, there is a bottom line. But here, once the Qi family's Qi Youfang really becomes the queen, you can't want to live like this. ”

"That's just right!" there was a hint of determination in Liu Niang's eyes, "The girl of the Qi family killed the princess of Daqin, and I am dead, and I will die at the hands of Daqin's enemies." The emperor will also give me a posthumous mourning, and my aunt will be guaranteed. And I, too, can be regarded as a relief. On days like this, if you say something good, you call it duty, and if you say something bad, you just wait for death. Sooner or later, you have to die, and if you die sooner, you will be liberated. ”

Aunt Yi felt inexplicably uncomfortable, Liuniang really watched her voice and grew up. I've been getting along for more than ten years, and now when I listen to such words, what flashes in front of me is indeed what Liu Niang looked like when she was a child. Well-behaved and clever, never annoying.

Her throat seemed to be blocked for a moment, and she couldn't say a word, "If there really is that day...... I'm not going to look at the six girls...... Dead. ”

Yi Gu raised her head and did not let the tears fall. "The six girls are now living in peace in the courtyard. If I want to send someone out to buy, I will go and ask Lord Xiangguo. So saying, she turned around and walked out, and when she reached the door, she stood still, did not look back, but said, "Don't say anything about death in the future." Let's live well. I can live, why can't the girl. ”

After saying that, he opened the door and went out. There was only a 'clang' and the sound of the door closing.

Liu Niang looked at the door and was stunned. turned around, and there was still the slightest determination and cowardice on his face. Her eyelids drooped, but she exuded a sense of stability and composure.

When a person grows up, he may only need an opportunity.

For example, now, when you can't rely on anyone, then you have to grow up.

Even if you stumble and hit your head, you will break the blood flow.

The girls didn't dare to speak, so Liuniang sat like that. The rain here stops and goes, and most of the time it's a foggy drizzle. With a strong dampness.

A few girls lit up the smoked cage, and the quilts and clothes had to be smoked every day, otherwise they really couldn't forget the covers.

Er Qiao came out and asked Liuniang, "Girl, do you want to go out and ask someone to buy things?"

"Wait. Before Liu Niang's words fell, the door opened from the outside. More than a dozen local women carrying burdens came in, and they put down their burdens and left.

There is charcoal in it, and there are things for daily use.

The mother-in-law who guards the door will speak Chinese, only saying that someone will send things every day.

but he did not say anything to let them out.

A few girls were tidying up outside, but Liuniang went in and lay on the bed. The freshly smoked quilt has a familiar scent. She lay on the bed and looked through the window at the rain and fog outside.

If it is in the mountains and forests, by the streams, in the verdant bamboo forests, such rain is beautiful.

But now, it has added a bit of unspeakable sadness.

Outside the courtyard wall, stood two young men.

One was richly dressed, with a tall posture and a handsome face. One is dressed ordinarily, with a hunched chest and low eyebrows.

Both of them were pressed against the wall, listening to the movement inside the wall.

When there were really only the girls discussing how to build the stove and how to put things away, the young man in brocade stood up straight and turned to leave.

"Master, aren't you curious to go in and take a look?" the attendant said to the brocade-clothed boy.

"Look at what?" the brocade boy laughed shamefully, "Is it good, can you really replace her?"

Long-distance friends and close attacks, really calling the girl of the Qi family the queen is a fool. Although he wants to be pro-government and wants to get back what belongs to him, it does not mean that he will be willing to become a pawn at the mercy of the Qi family. Become their puppet.

He whispered: "Look at the little one, this sixth girl of the Yun family is not bad." The sisters of the Yun family are all well married, and they have never insulted their masters in terms of identity. ”

The brocade-clothed young man smiled, it didn't matter at all. The important thing is that this future queen of her own is smarter and tougher than she imagined.

She not only distrusts Yang Xiangguo, but even has a strong rejection.

This was something he hadn't thought of beforehand. Now, he was a little happy in his heart.

As long as the temperament is good and the person is smart, nothing else matters. 166 Reading Network
