078: Sow discord and return to Beijing with a good injury
readx;
In the past few days, all the courtyards in the mansion have been very quiet, Zhong Yueyue and Lou Qiqi have never come to disturb her, and the servants of the Ningguo Mansion have been trained, so they naturally dare not chew the root of their tongues more. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Peiyun naturally knew that Lou Yichen could not die, but she was worried about his injury, there was no news for so many days, and her mood was getting heavier and heavier day by day, and she was inevitably a little anxious.
Xun'er said in a low voice, "The second young lady said that she was afraid that you would be bored, so she came to chat with you, and brought some snacks over, please try them!"
You can't keep it out.
A touch of contemplation crossed between his delicate eyebrows, and then he ordered, "Please wait in the front hall for my brother and sister, and I'll go over later!"
"Yes!"
Xun'er went out, and Xianglan, the personal maid who had been waiting by her side, asked, "Miss, these two young ladies have never come out in the past few days, how are they ······ today?"
How could he come up to see Lin Peiyun when there were rumors outside?
Lin Peiyun smiled faintly when she heard this, and said helplessly, "If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I can't refuse to see it, right?"
Zhong Yueyue is not treated by Mrs. Ning Guo, as if it is not a secret in the house, Lin Peiyun has been in the door for a while, naturally she sees it in her eyes, in her cognition, Mrs. Ning Guo is gentle and virtuous, generous, not a narrow-minded and mean person, but she is so unkind to this daughter-in-law, although she doesn't understand why, but she understands that since Mrs. Ning Guo doesn't like her but never hides it, there must be a reason
So she rarely had contact with this concubine, and during the days when she entered the door, she didn't have more contact except for a few polite greetings.
Come over at this time······ Scold!
Xianglan gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "When this second young lady looks at it, she is not easy to get along with, and the slave maid is afraid of ·····."
Although Lin Peiyun has a good temperament, she is a little kind and weak, and she never competes with others, if she is wronged, what should she do?
Now there is no one in charge of the house, the lady has not returned from the outing, the county lord is not there, the uncle is also seriously injured, Lin Peiyun is not in power, the housekeeper in the house and the maids of the county lord are in charge of things, but once Lin Peiyun and Zhong Yueyue have a conflict, what can they do?
"Alright, don't say anything more, let's take a look!"
"Yes!"
When she walked to the front hall of Songhuazhai, Zhong Yueyue was sitting below quietly sipping tea, and the maid next to her was still carrying a food box in her hand, which must be her so-called dim sum.
Zhong Yueyue is wearing a light purple gorgeous long skirt today, wearing gorgeous gold ornaments on her head, a delicate peony flower golden hairpin pinned to the side of her hair bun, tassels falling into her hair, her face is ruddy, sitting there quietly, her body is full of grace and luxury.
This reminded Lin Peiyun of the concubine Niangniang who had seen several times in the palace, there were not many concubines in the palace, except for the queen of the middle palace and Qin Guifei, that is, the concubine had the highest status, although she was not favored, but because of her extreme filial piety to the queen mother, no one dared to treat her slowly, I have to say that these two sisters are somewhat similar.
Accustomed to the end of the shelf!
Compared with Lin Peiyun's non-powdered delicacy, Zhong Yueyue is much more radiant, as if it is ······ Be in a good mood!
Thinking of this, Lin Peiyun's eyes flashed with displeasure, but it was not shown on her face, the maid opened the bead curtain, and the crisp sound of the beads colliding sounded, alarming Zhong Yueyue, who was drinking tea, she raised her eyes to see Lin Peiyun, who was wearing a light blue dress, and had a simple bun on her head but no embellishment, hurriedly put down the teacup, stood up and bowed with a smile.
"I've seen my sister-in-law!"
The attitude is respectful, not arrogant or impatient.
Lin Peiyun is a first-class lady, and she doesn't have any seals!
Xianglan helped Lin Peiyun to sit on the top, and Lin Peiyun sat down and said with a smile, "Brother and sister, get up quickly, the family doesn't need to be so polite, sit down!"
When Zhong Yueyue heard this, she sat back in her original position, raised her eyes to look at Lin Peiyun, and saw that her face was a little haggard, so she couldn't help but ask with concern, "Sister-in-law's complexion is not very good, but she is not feeling well?"
Ask while knowing the answer!
Lin Peiyun took the cup handed by Xianglan and took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and said with a smile, "Not really, it's just that the weather is hot and humid, and I can't sleep well at night."
。 ”
Then he looked at Zhong Yueyue and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why did my brother and sister come over today?"
took the food box in the maid's hand, put it on the table beside her, opened it, took out a few plates of delicate pastries, and said with a smile, "I made some snacks to bring and give my sister-in-law a taste, no, I also made some chestnut cakes that Ling'er loves to eat, hey, why doesn't the little girl see anyone today?"
Looking around······
Lin Peiyun couldn't help but chuckle when she saw her behaving like this, as if she didn't mean to, "That girl loves to stay in Lanyue Tower, and my brother and sister don't know, why did they come to me to find someone?"
Ling'er lived in Lanyue Tower half a month ago, and only occasionally came over to accompany her during the day to relieve her boredom, and this morning she came over to stay in the morning, and it didn't take long to leave, the house is so big, Zhong Yueyue really doesn't know?
Oh, come prepared!
Zhong Yueyue's face stiffened, and then she smiled, "I just heard that Ling'er is here, it seems that she is leaving, but I came unfortunately, but this is all my heart, sister-in-law don't dislike it!"
Naturally, she didn't really come to find Ling'er's stinky girl, not to mention whether she likes the child or not, Ling'er smiled at everyone in the house, but she didn't like to deal with her, it must be Lou Yueqing who taught her not to contact herself, Zhong Yueyue knew, Lou Yueqing didn't want to see her, and she could only be regarded as having done enough work on the face, and she couldn't see through the sister-in-law who came back not long ago, obviously she looked weak, but she could never see through what she was thinking, and her status in the Ningguo Mansion was not something she could provoke, so she was deeply favored by that girl, even if she didn't like it anymore, she naturally had to express the love of an elder。
"I've never liked to eat these sweet things, but Ling'er loves to eat them!" After that, Brick looked at Xianglan beside him and said with a smile, "Send the pastries made by the second young lady to Lanyue Building to Miss, she will definitely be hungry when she takes a lunch break later!"
Pandan bowed, "Yes!"
Then he walked to Zhong Yueyue's side, saluted, boxed a few plates of dim sum, and bowed out.
Seeing Lin Peiyun quietly sipping tea and not planning to speak, the corners of Zhong Yueyue's mouth twitched slightly, as if she had no intention of saying, "That kid has always relied on the county lord, the county lord has been away for so many days, and I don't know if I miss the county lord, does my sister-in-law know when the county lord will come back?"
Lou Yueqing's news is Lou Yichen's news.
If Lou Yichen is really dead, she will laugh in her dreams!
In addition to Lou Yichen, it is Lou Yimin!
Zhong Yueyue's words paused, Lin Peiyun's hand holding the cup shrank slightly, and then put the cup down, looked at Zhong Yueyue with a faint gaze, and said with a smile, "Brother and sister may as well say it directly, don't beat around the bush!"
Although Lin Peiyun doesn't have many eyes, she is not a fool, she was born in a big family like the Lin family, if she is really stupid, how can she survive?
She just doesn't like to compete, so she doesn't see all the pickled things in the Fuguo Mansion, and she reads and paints in her yard all day long, but it doesn't mean that she can really be led by the nose.
Lin Peiyun's straightforwardness made Zhong Yueyue's originally brewed words so that she could only hold back and grit her teeth secretly.
"Sister-in-law, it's been a month since you entered the house, and I don't know whether to say some things or not······"
looked at the latter maids in the living room in embarrassment, entangled
Lin Peiyun took her face into her eyes and said lightly, "Let's go down!"
"Yes!"
Several maids bowed down and retreated, and Zhong Yueyue motioned for her maids to go down as well.
There were only two women left in the living room, but after Lin Peiyun withdrew from the people, Zhong Yueyue suddenly quieted down, didn't say a word, and just sat there.
One sat on top, the other on the bottom, and was quiet for a long time.
Lin Peiyun was not in a hurry at all, just sat like this, she originally planned to take a nap, it was difficult to fall asleep these days and nights, and she slept for a while when she was sleepy during the day, but she was not sleepy at all.
She has time, Zhong Yueyue doesn't speak, she naturally won't speak.
Zhong Yueyue tugged on her cuffs tightly, lowered her head, and sometimes glanced at the people above, but Lin Peiyun didn't
After being quiet for half a pillar of incense, Zhong Yueyue spoke.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that before the sister-in-law got married, she followed Mrs. Lin to learn to run the family in the Fuguo Mansion, and this eldest daughter-in-law housekeeper is also a matter of course, but now the power of the family has fallen to the county lord, but the sister-in-law has been wronged!"
Mrs. Ning Guo delegated power, it should have been Lin Peiyun in charge of the house, which is also a reasonable thing, she thought that if Lin Peiyun was in charge, she would definitely be able to find a way to make Lin Peiyun powerless, in this way, everything would be easy to do, but who would have thought that they would not only take Lou Yueqing back, but also let the girl who had just come back be in charge.
A man she couldn't figure out anything on her mind!
"Wronged?" Lin Peiyun was surprised, Zhong Yueyue said it directly, she was beautiful and slightly picky, and her tone was light, "What do you mean by my brother and sister? I don't feel wronged, why do my brothers and sisters feel wronged for me?"
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Lou Yueqing being in charge.
As soon as I entered the door, I didn't know much about many things, not to mention, before I got married, my father said that the Ningguo Mansion was different from other mansions, because it was not a day or two to encounter the royal jealousy because of the heavy soldiers, if you want to be a good mother of the family, you must follow the teachings of Mrs. Ning Guo, and Mrs. Ning Guo will naturally not lose her.
Moreover, before the wedding, Mrs. Ning Guo went to see her and also said about it, she did not object, but her mother felt that she had been wronged like this at first, but if she was able to marry such a good husband, how could she talk about grievances?
Moreover, Lou Yueqing also listened to and respected her, and Mrs. Ning Guo treated her very well, compared to other women of the world, she was lucky.
What's more, Lou Yueqing will marry sooner or later, so she naturally doesn't have to worry about this.
"This ······"
Zhong Yueyue was surprised by Lin Peiyun's attitude, she really didn't care?
"Mother is far-sighted, I also think I don't have the ability to run this family, since my sister has this ability, my mother and husband are optimistic about her, why should I make more trouble?"
Mrs. Ning Guo loves her daughter, Lou Yichen dotes on her sister, and this sister is not difficult to get along with, she is never embarrassed by her, Lou Yueqing is seventeen years old, she will never be in the Lou family for the rest of her life, sooner or later it will be hers, why should she rob it?
Zhong Yueyue's face froze, and she tugged at her skirt, secretly annoyed.
The corner of her mouth smiled far-fetched, "Sister-in-law's heart is really ······"
Which woman of the family doesn't want to get the right to take charge of the family after marrying into her husband's family? Even if she worked hard for this after marrying in, she later learned that as long as Lou Yichen lived, Lou Yimin would not be qualified to inherit the title, and she would be subservient to others for the rest of her life
When she obeyed her sister's words and married into the Lou family, how could she be willing to succumb to others like this?
She is not low-born, although she is not as good as Lin Peiyun was born in the Guogong Mansion, but her father is a second-grade Shangshu, and her sister is a concubine in the palace, and she, in addition to being a few years younger than her sister, is also the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, she was not very happy to marry a concubine like Lou Yimin, but the status of Ningguo Mansion and Mrs. Ning Guo's attitude towards Lou Yimin, as well as Lou Yimin's good reputation, she still married in, with the queen mother's will, and became Lou Yimin's wife!
After entering the door, I found that what Lou Yimin got in the house was the treatment of the concubine, Mrs. Ning Guo was very good to her, my sister said, as long as Lou Yichen is gone, Lou Yimin must be the only heir to the Ningguo Mansion, and when the time comes, she will become the housewife of the Ningguo Mansion, compared to her sister in the palace, becoming the housewife of the Ningguo Mansion, it will not be any worse!
The corners of Lin Peiyun's mouth were slightly hooked, looking at Zhong Yueyue, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she said with a smile, "If your younger siblings think it's inappropriate for your mother to do this, you can go and tell your mother yourself, if my younger siblings are here to be my companions, I am very happy, if so, if ······ Brother and sister, don't want to be a fool and use me at will!"
The last sentence, with a thick displeasure and sarcasm, looked at Zhong Yueyue's gaze, with a dazzling disdain, which made Zhong Yueyue's face change slightly.
Even a layer of shame!
Biting his lips lightly, there was some grievance in his eyes, he looked at Lin Peiyun, and said with a sad face, "What does sister-in-law mean by this? Yueyue is also feeling worthless for her sister-in-law, and she was so misunderstood by her sister-in-law, and she was so blamed·······
Lin Peiyun was a little impatient, as if she was looking at her father's concubines in the mansion and the pitiful appearance of her father's loving father, she couldn't help but feel disgusted, and looked at Zhong Yueyue's eyes a little impatiently, and said lightly, "If it is really me who misunderstood my younger sister, then it is my sister-in-law's fault, but, yes or no, my younger sister is like a mirror in his own heart, I am tired, my younger brother and sister will go back if they have nothing to do!"
The order to evict the guest has been issued, and after being sarcastically ridiculed like this, Zhong Yueyue naturally didn't want to stay any longer, so she immediately gritted her teeth and stood up, bending her knees slightly, "Then I'll go back first, sister-in-law have a good rest!"
She just waited, waiting for the day when Lou Yichen died, and saw who dared to treat her like this!
Turning around and about to leave, Lin Peiyun's maid Xun'er walked in, holding a bowl of soothing tea for Lin Peiyun to drink, looking at the maid's coquettish appearance, Zhong Yueyue's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and then smiled coldly and turned to leave!
Seeing Zhong Yueyue leave unwillingly, Lin Peiyun breathed a sigh of relief, took the soothing tea handed over by Xun'er and drank it, and then said with relief, "Finally left······
Xun'er smiled and said in a low voice, "If Miss doesn't like the second young lady, if she doesn't see it, why is it not happy to find it for herself?"
Lin Peiyun sighed lightly, "After all, it's a concubine, if it weren't for her provocative words, I would have endured it······"
Zhong Yueyue wanted to provoke herself to fight for power with Lou Yueqing, but she couldn't hear it, if she changed to another time, she would naturally not care, but now that her husband is seriously injured, there are already discussions outside, she is worried day and night, she is already a little impetuous, and Zhong Yueyue bumps into her again······
She was indeed a little anxious.
When Xun'er heard this, she wanted to stop talking, but she still stubbornly whispered, "But the words of the second young lady are not unreasonable, originally······ The county lord is in charge, which is a bit unreasonable
!”
Originally, as the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ning Guo delegated power, so it was reasonable to let Lin Peiyun take charge of the house, but now it seems that as long as the county lord is in the mansion for a day, Mrs. will not let her young lady be in charge of the house.
Last time, the county lord fell ill, and the lady preferred to take care of it herself. Don't let your own lady get contaminated in the slightest.
Lin Peiyun smiled faintly, "Mother has her own plans for doing this, how can I manage it? What's more, my husband also said that my mother is for my good, in that case, why should I present a piece for a while? Qing'er also looks like she has an excellent personality, she will not embarrass me, and she also has great respect for me, so it is enough!"
In fact, which mansion is the same, the ultimate goal of wanting to gain power is to make herself superior to others without being bound by anyone, but in this Ningguo Mansion, no one is bound to her, what does she want to do, Lou Yueqing never interferes, and she never stingy with money, so, why is she dissatisfied?
Xun'er's eyes flashed slightly, and she said in a low voice, "Miss thinks it's good, that's good, but now my aunt's situation is still unknown, and the county lord doesn't let you know any news, and the slave just thinks that the county lord is like this, which is a little inappropriate!"
The life and death of the elder brother is unknown, but as a younger sister, he does not let his sister-in-law know anything about her husband, so ······
Lin Peiyun didn't think so, and said slowly, "My husband's injury is related to national politics, and there is nothing wrong with my sister doing this, don't mention this kind of thing in the future!"
"Yes!"
"Is Pandan back?"
How did it take so long to go to deliver something?
"No, Miss wants the slave to look for her?"
"Well, find her back!"
She planned to take a break, but she was used to Xianglan serving by her side, others serving, she was not very used to it, she used to have two maids, but one of them was promoted as a concubine by her brother, so there was only one Xianglan, Xun'er was a maid given to her by her mother before she got married, and on weekdays, there was no other trustworthy person around her except Xianglan, so she brought Xun'er too.
"Yes!"
Xun'er retreated.
Chu Jing is indeed spreading everywhere that Lou Yichen has been assassinated in Pingcheng and has died, and the regent is not mourning in order to stabilize the army, and it is getting more and more intense, but the Duke of Ningguo Mansion closes its doors and refuses to meet with anyone, even if it is from the Shenwang Mansion and the Fuguo Mansion, the housekeeper directly refuses to meet with Mrs. Ning Guo on the grounds that she ordered the door to be closed.
Both families have an in-law relationship with the Ningguo Mansion, naturally they are worried, the old prince Shen sent a few groups of people, but they couldn't get the news, and they almost fell ill, but fortunately, Mrs. Ningguo, who was in Putuo's Nunnery, sent a message to her, and she quieted down, but the Fuguo Mansion was different, Lin Peiyun married into the Ningguo Mansion for a month, and her husband's life and death were unknown, so she was naturally anxious to die, Mrs. Lin came a few times, but she couldn't enter the door and could only do it in a hurry.
The other mansions are waiting with their necks open to see the drama of the Ningguo Mansion!
After resting for two days, Lou Yichen's injuries improved and he could go to the ground, but it was not suitable for bumping, but Lou Yichen insisted on going back, and Rong Zhi didn't want to wait any longer, so he could only go back to Beijing first.
Prepare the carriage and help Lou Yichen onto the couch of the carriage, the carriage is made of nanmu, the space is huge, you can put down a soft couch, let Lou Yichen be comfortable, Mo Li took care of it on the side, in case the wound on the road deteriorated.
Back at the gate of Yecheng, it was already evening, the long king drove at the gate of the city was very spectacular, Rong Zhi did not go directly to the Ningguo Mansion, but entered the palace, so it was separated at the street entrance, the two carriages drove to the Ningguo Mansion, and several Wang Cavalry escorts accompanied the protection, until they returned to the gate of the Ningguo Mansion, and did not leave
Lin Peiyun had already heard the news and was waiting at the door.
Seeing the carriage slowly approaching, she was naturally overjoyed.
Lou Yichen's face was pale and he was helped out of the carriage by Lou Yueqing, because the carriage was bumpy for a day, the wound was cracked again, and his face was much paler, and the whole person was holding on.
Lin Peiyun immediately stepped forward to help him.
"Husband······"
A thousand words, only turned into silence, looking at Lou Yichen's bloodless face, the whole person lost his former look, and couldn't help but feel sad.
Lou Yichen looked at her, so haggard, he knew that she was worried about herself, gave her a reassuring look, and then looked at the subordinates beside her, and said hard, "Help me go back!"
"Yes!"
Helped Lou Yichen walk up the stairs in front of the mansion gate and walked into the mansion gate.
Lin Peiyun watched Lou Yichen come back safely, naturally happy, and walked in the door.
Lou Yueqing looked at the people who were watching this side not far away, lowered her eyes and pondered, then smiled coldly and walked in the door.
Lou Yichen came back, and the news of his death was naturally self-defeating.
It's just that as soon as he entered the door, Lou Yichen's injuries worsened.
The wound was already very dangerous in the chest, and there was no antidote at that time, and the injury worsened due to the fact that there was no antidote and did not dare to use the medicine indiscriminately, so it was only two days, and it should have been a good rest, but there was a bump back, and naturally the iron body could not withstand it.
If it weren't for Lou Yichen's physique, he would have been unconscious.
Fortunately, the poison has been removed, and the remaining injuries can be treated.
That night, Lou Yueqing was deteriorating because of Lou Yichen's injury, although she knew that there was no life, but she was still worried and didn't sleep all night, of course, she was not the only one who couldn't sleep.
When Rong Zhi entered the palace, he first went to see Rong Yan, and then returned to the Xuanzheng Palace to deal with the government affairs that had been put aside for a long time, and he did not stop until late at night.
Rong Zhi diligent government, this is undoubted, when the first emperor died, the court situation left behind a period of chaos, the treasury could not make ends meet, the people were miserable, after Rong Zhi ascended the throne, he immediately issued a decree to make him the regent, and he never paid attention to the government, the originally decadent Chu State, under his hands in just a few years became the strongest among the four countries, naturally his diligence is inevitable, but it is also inevitable that his wrist.
It wasn't until late at night that he finished reading the notes and left the palace.
The news of Lou Yichen's return spread throughout the major mansions in Chujing that night, and some people were happy and some were worried.
On the second day, Princess Shen came in person, and not long after, someone from the Lin family also came, who was Lin Peiyun's mother, Mrs. Lin.
The rest of the people came to Lou Yueqing and made people refuse, after all, Lou Yichen's injury was not healed, so naturally no one who could see it should be seen.
But when people from the Queen Mother's palace came to visit, Lou Yueqing couldn't refuse.
Early in the morning, the queen mother sent her confidant eunuch Wang Wei to visit Lou Yichen with a lot of internal goods, and even brought the imperial doctor like last time
"The Queen Mother said that Ning Guogong is the minister of the humerus in the court, and when she heard that Ning Guogong's injury was not yet healed, she asked the old slave to stay at the head of the Tai Hospital to take a look, so that she could rest assured!"
The Queen Mother's concern and compassion, knowing that it was redundant and ill-intentioned, Lou Yueqing still did not refuse.
Looking at Lou Yichen, who was asking the imperial doctor to take the pulse and his face was already better, Lou Yueqing turned her head to look at Wang Wei and said lightly, "I also ask my father-in-law to convey my gratitude to the Ningguo Mansion after returning to the palace, the Queen Mother's concern is deeply honored!"
Wang Wei had been looking at Lou Yichen's face, and when he heard Lou Yueqing's voice, he hurriedly said respectfully with a smile, "The county lord is polite, the queen mother said that the Ningguo Mansion is the pillar of the Chu State, and the well-being of the Ning Guogong is the great fortune of the Chu State, so let the old slave bring a lot of tonic elixirs, and I hope that the Ning Guogong will recover as soon as possible!"
Lou Yueqing smiled silently.
The doctor checked the pulse and confirmed that Lou Yichen would recover after a few days of rest, so he left with Wang Wei.
Before leaving, Wang Wei looked at Lou Yueqing with a smile and said, "The Queen Mother asked the county lord to enter the palace if he has time these days!"
did not indicate the intention of summoning, but Lou Yueqing couldn't refuse.
"I see!"
After sending Wang Wei away, Lou Yueqing asked the housekeeper to put the things brought by Wang Wei into the warehouse, then turned back to the inner courtyard of Songhuazhai and walked into Lou Yichen's room.
Sitting opposite Lou Yichen with a smile, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Big brother is better today?"
Lou Yichen bowed his head and said with a light smile, "Well, I think it will be cured in a few days!"
Now he no longer needs to lie on the bed, and the wound has begun to heal, I don't know what medicine Mo Li gave him, the wound healed quite quickly.
Lou Yueqing poured herself a glass of water and drank it.
Lou Yichen suddenly asked, "I seem to have heard Wang Wei say that the Queen Mother wants to see you?"
Although he said it in the outer courtyard, Lou Yichen knew martial arts and his hearing was also excellent, so he asked, his expression was a little serious.
"Well, I didn't say what day it was, just let me pick a time to enter the palace by myself, it's fresh!"
Lou Yichen said lightly, "Indeed!"
The people in the palace have always set the time, this queen mother is interesting, let Lou Yueqing choose a time to enter the palace, that is, wait to see her!
With a low eyebrow smile, Lou Yueqing hooked her lips slightly and said, "But since it was summoned by the Queen Mother, it is naturally better to go earlier, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the Queen Mother, I don't dare to do this!"
Lou Yichen looked at his sister who was smiling but fearless, his eyebrows and eyes were full of gentleness, and he immediately heard it, "The palace is not as cautious as at home, take the maid into the palace!"
If no one accompanies him, he must bring his personal maid into the palace.
"Hmm!"
------Off topic------
The eldest aunt is here, so the diarrhea is very uncomfortable, and the code word is slower, so I will come to the first watch first, and the second watch will be in the evening
