Chapter 245: Who is the Mistress Mother?
Zhang Yuanyang is deliberately funny, Hua Lianyue is not a serious master. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info made Xiaoxiao gradually relaxed, and even her temperament was a lot more cheerful. No longer so honestly afraid, cautious with everyone.
The carriage quickly passed through the town and drove up the winding mountain road, and Hua Liyue sat in the carriage, watching the trees on both sides continue to retreat, and always felt that the road seemed to have no end.
I remember that day I came out to watch the play with Invite Yue, and the jujube trees that flashed by the side of the road were full of unripe green jujubes. Now all the fruits have been beaten, and only some agate-like dates are faintly shaking on the treetops.
The things in front of her are wrong, which makes Hua Lianyue inexplicably a little sad.
About two quarters of an hour later, the carriage came to the foot of the stone staircase that Liu Hui had taken her that day. Hua Lianyue got out of the carriage and looked up. This glance made her frown slightly. The steps, which were originally hidden in the thick shade and adorned with wildflowers and moss, were cleaned, as spotless as washing.
I remember that on the second day of the wedding, Liu Hui instructed the maid to pull out all the weeds and flowers around the steps, but because she felt that there were some flowers and plants, the stone steps looked a little less tough and more wild, and Liu Hui relied on her to do it.
It is probably because the maids in Dancui Villa have no master to serve, and they are bored, so they make this stone staircase look like this.
At this moment, the sun is setting, half of the sky is dyed red, the maple leaves are like fire in the distance, and the insects are chirping nearby. Hua Lianyue stretched out her hand to Xiaoxiao and said with a smile: "In the future, this Dancui Villa will be your new home." ”
Xiaoxiao nodded shyly, her eyes flashed with joy, and her cheeks were dyed red by the setting sun.
The group soon followed the stone steps to the gate of Daintree Hills, but saw two delicate strange girls sitting on the steps on the right side of the gate, with a bamboo stick and a wooden bucket filled with water.
Hua Lianyue knew that there was a spring behind Dancui Mountain, and the water that came out of it was luscious and clear, much purer than the water of the river or the well. As a result, many large families around the area who are more particular about it will send people to come to the back of the mountain to fetch water and go back to drink.
One of the two girls in front of her was wearing a red pomegranate skirt, with long thick eyebrows and big eyes, which were extremely gorgeous. One is wearing a plain skirt, with long thin eyebrows and very graceful eyes. The beaded flowers on their heads and the rings around their waists are all available. It seems that it must be a girl from a big family, fetching water and resting here.
Hua Lianyue was looking at them, and they also stopped laughing, turned their heads together, and looked at Hua Lianyue and her party with curiosity on their faces.
Because they were in a hurry, Hua Liyue and Xiaoxiao were wearing the most ordinary cloth and black dresses. In order to resist the wind and sand, the bun was only wrapped in a handkerchief, and there was no rouge on her face, and she looked like a village woman fleeing.
Among the group, Zhang Yuanyang deliberately scraped off the slag after entering the boundary of Dongqin, and bought an expensive Shu brocade robe, which looked a little extravagant. It's a pity that there is also a conspicuous oil stain on this expensive robe, like stolen goods.
After the two girls saw the clothes of the people in front of them, the curiosity in their eyes gradually turned into contempt and disdain.
Hua Liyue only glanced at them, and then stopped paying attention to them. She walked slowly towards the steps with Xiaoxiao, getting closer and closer, closer and closer, as her feet stepped on the steps. A girl shouted softly from the side: "Hey, this aunt quickly stops." This is King Xian's Dancui Villa, and it's not something you commoners can just break into. ”
Hua Lianyue paused, she turned her head sideways slowly, and her cold black eyes stared at the two girls tightly.
Xiao Xiaoben followed closely behind Hua Lianyue, she heard the girl speak extremely disrespectfully, and immediately said unceremoniously: "You speak carefully, who do you call aunt? She is Mrs. Xianwang, and she is the mistress of this Dancui Villa." ”
The girls looked at each other and burst out laughing. The girl in the pomegranate skirt stood up, crossed her hands on her waist, and sneered with disdain in her sharp voice: "Where did the crazy woman come from, she dared to pretend to be Mrs. Xianwang, it is not her life." Hurry up, be careful that the guards in the palace come out, and take you to the official palace to eat in the cell. ”
"What a big breath!"
Zhang Yuanyang took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "Where did you come from, stinky girls, dare to make a big fuss here." "Zhang Yuanyang was originally the son-in-law of the Zhang family, and he had experienced a lot of days under Liu Hui, and his whole temperament was tempered like a treasure knife out of the sheath, with a cold and fierce air.
Of course, the premise is to ignore the ridiculous oil stain on his chest.
The girl in the skirt also stood up, and she persuaded in a soft voice: "Xiaoqing, they are all ignorant and foolish people, what is there to quarrel about, just let Brother Feng Qi drive them away." ”
Feng Qi?
Hua Lianyue's body suddenly shook, the chaos that day, she saw him fall in a pool of blood in order to save herself, he actually didn't die? This is probably the only good news Hua Lianyue has heard recently.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Hua Lianyue's face, she didn't pay attention to the two inexplicable girls at all, and continued to walk up the steps.
"Hey, you guys are really impatient, you still dare to break into it......" The girl named Xiaoqing hurriedly came over, stretched out her hand to stop Hua Lianyue, but let Xiaoxiao drag it down. She couldn't break free, and hurriedly turned back to the girl in the skirt and said, "Zhiyu, what are you doing in a daze, you can't come over to help!"
In the midst of the chaos, the gates of the villa suddenly opened, and more than two dozen black-clothed guards with swords trotted out of the villa. The first two people, one is Feng Wu, and the other is Feng Qi, who escaped death.
It turned out that when Xiaoqing and Zhiyu stopped Hua Lianyue and his party, the guards guarding the door had already found out at dawn and immediately reported to them. Feng Wu and Feng Qi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately brought people out to greet them.
Zhiyu originally hid aside, afraid that he would hurt himself in the pull. Seeing Feng Qi and them coming out, he hurriedly lifted his skirt and ran forward, and said in a panicked voice: "Brother Feng Qi, you came just in time." These madmen didn't know where they came from, and they insisted on breaking into the villa, but we couldn't persuade them. ”
Feng Qi didn't pay attention to her complaints at all, and more than two dozen guards lined up in two rows, led by Feng Wu, Feng Qi, hugged his fist at Hua Lianyue, who had stopped the footcloth, and said in unison: "I've seen the master mother!"
The guards behind them fell to one knee and shouted in unison, "I've seen the mistress!" The voice was loud and loud, and it spread to every corner of the villa.
.......
In the west wing of the inner courtyard, the afterglow is sprinkled on a canna tree under the window, and the stretched wide leaves are very fat and green, but it is a pity that the flowers wrapped in the leaves have been in full bloom and decline, and the beautiful color has faded from the original gorgeous and huge flowers, and has become yellow and dry, and a light pinch is a finger of yellow water.
Zhang Jiao stood in front of the window, holding a teacup with a yellow pink peony in her hand. Gently taking a sip of the sweet rain before the rain, she said to the maid beside her: "Huaqiu, tell me to go down, and pull out these cannas tomorrow." Such lowly flower species that can be seen everywhere are really not suitable for appearing in the courtyard of the palace. ”
"Mademoiselle is the best at tending to the garden, and even the old patriarch praises you for your ingenuity. The mansion of King Xian, although it is not as gorgeous as the mansion of the capital, is also small and chic. It's a pity that the flowers and plants in the yard are all mundane things, and if Miss can tidy them up carefully, they will definitely be able to look new. ”
Huaqiu praised Zhang Jiao with a smile, then took the teacup in her hand, put it on the table next to her, and handed over a handful of bamboo scissors.
Zhang Jiao took the bamboo scissors and sighed lightly: "King Xian is a man after all, everything he thinks about is a major military matter, how can he use his mind on such small things as the backyard." ”
Zhang Jiaolian moved lightly and came to the bamboo shelf, where there was a pot of extremely precious ink chrysanthemum, and she carefully cut off the excess leaves with bamboo scissors.
Suddenly, hearing the noise outside, Zhang Jiao paused, then looked at Huaqiu with a puzzled face, and said, "Listen, what are you shouting outside?"
The voice outside was loud and neat, and Hua Qiu naturally heard it clearly, and she said extremely angrily: "Miss, they are crazy, they actually shouted what they have seen the master mother." This Dancui Villa, it is clear that you are the only one who is their master. ”
There was a soft "click", and Zhang Jiao cut off the perfect and huge ink chrysanthemum with a distraction. She was stunned, then threw the bamboo scissors aside, and said with a disgusted face: "Throw away this pot of ink chrysanthemum." ”
Hua Qiu hurriedly said: "Miss, what do you care about this Mo Ju at this time, why don't you go to the front yard to take a look!"
Zhang Jiao's eyes were extremely bright, and she turned her head sideways to look at the canna plant in the afterglow outside the window. After half a ring, he sneered and said, "What's the hurry, it must be the woman that King Xian privately accepted is back." No matter what, she is just an outer room, not even a concubine, and I am the virtuous princess of the emperor's own title, so she should have come to ask me for peace. ”
"Yes, yes, you are the rightful housewife of Dancui Villa, so naturally she should come to invite An. Hua Qiu nodded with a smile and said, "Miss, you just have a good rest in the house, I'll go and throw away this pot of ink chrysanthemums, and casually inquire what's going on." ”
"Go ahead!"
Zhang Jiao waved her hand, and Huaqiu picked up the flower pot and quietly retreated.
Zhang Jiao sat alone in front of the table, there was a thin paper stick in front of her, and after she carefully read the contents of the thin note, she slowly tore the paper stick into pieces. As she moved, the golden tassel hanging diagonally from her head shook gently in front of her eyes.
Zhang Jiao poured all the small handfuls of fragments into the burning incense burner, and after a puff of black smoke, the paper sticks turned into ashes and mixed perfectly with the ashes of the spices.
Gradually, the last rays of light brought by the afterglow gradually dissipated, and the big house was gradually shrouded in darkness.
Zhang Jiao still didn't move, and in the dark, her eyes looked extraordinarily bright. Suddenly, there was a slightly anxious call from outside: "Miss, Miss!"
Zhang Jiao didn't get up, but said lazily: "What's the matter?" ”
Huaqiu lifted the curtain and walked in quickly. She walked quickly to the table and took the flint and light the candle. The warm and bright candle flame instantly dispelled the darkness, and Hua Qiu leaned down and whispered in her ear: "Zhiyu, Xiaoqing was beaten with ten sticks each!"
Zhang Jiao raised her eyebrows and said in surprise: "Who dares to beat the maid sent by the crown princess, what is the crime?"
"It's disrespectful to the hostess!" Hua Qiu bit his lip and said angrily: "I heard that it was Feng Wu's order, and Feng Qi personally supervised the punishment, and those people didn't show any mercy at all." beat the two of them to the point that they almost passed out. ”
Zhang Jiao stroked the corners of her clothes and sneered: "It seems that in the eyes of these Feng Wei, the Hua family is the real housemother. ”
"Phew! she's a lowly Jianghu woman, and she also deserves it. Hua Qiu said with a disgusted face: "Miss, this can't be done, we haven't shown up, that woman may think that we are afraid of her, plus there are these phoenix guards to protect her, I am afraid that I will not see you in the future." ”
"No, you're wrong, I'm wrong. Zhang Jiao hooked the corners of her lips and showed a sneer: "It turns out that the Hua family is not a woman in the rivers and lakes, she is also from an official eunuch lady, even if she is a serious princess, she can do it." ”
Hua Qiu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Where did Miss get the news? It shouldn't be a lie, right? We are in the capital, but we have never heard of a young lady who acts like this." ”
Zhang Jiao stared at the bright moon gradually rising outside the window screen, straightened the golden tassels on her sideburns, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we underestimate the enemy, but we can't let the Hua clan just dodge it." Since she didn't dare to come to me, I went to see her. ”
Hua Qiu immediately echoed: "Yes, look at how she still has the face to call herself the housewife in front of you, the virtuous princess who was personally crowned by the emperor." ”
.......
The moon was as cold as water, Zhang Jiao took the painting autumn and walked unhurriedly towards the east wing where Hua Lianyue lived. In her mind, her trip was a gesture of condescension, and if Hua was a smart person, she should use the donkey to show her closeness. When she enters the palace in the future, she will also be able to get her own care.
Who knew that she had just walked outside the east chamber, and she saw Feng Wu personally leading the guards to guard outside the chamber. Seeing Zhang Jiao coming over with Huaqiu, Feng Wu hurriedly greeted him, hugged his fists and said, "It's getting late, I don't know if Miss Zhang is coming at this time, what's the matter?"
Zhang Jiao furrowed her brows, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in her eyes. Then she quickly covered up this unhappiness, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and she smiled lightly: "I heard that Sister Hua is back, I want to go and take a look!"
Feng Wu is notoriously unsmiling, so he saw him with a straight face and said, "The master mother has already rested, if Miss Zhang has something, you might as well wait until tomorrow and then come to the house mother to talk in detail." ”
The smile on Zhang Jiao's face couldn't hold back any longer, and it was completely cold. Hua Qiu said sharply: "Feng Wu, are you crazy, call an outer room as a mastermother? Don't forget, our young lady is the emperor's own concubine, and she is your future mother." ”
Feng Wu said in a deep voice: "I am a rough person, I don't know anything, I only know how to act according to orders." In front of all our subordinates, King Xian worshipped heaven and earth with his mother, sacrificed to ghosts and gods, and said in person that she was the only mother of our Fengwei. ”
Zhang Jiao's face changed greatly when she heard this, and her voice became extremely sharp, and she shouted angrily: "Feng Wu, I am the virtuous princess of the emperor's imperial seal, but you recognize others as your mother, do you want to resist the decree?"
Is it not allowed to resist the decree?
This crime is quite big, and I don't know if that dead-eyed fool can resist it. Feng Qi stood in the shadows under the wall, quietly listening to their dispute.
I listened to Feng Wu's hard words: "Miss Zhang's words are serious, Princess Xian is Princess Xian, and the main mother is the main mother, you have your own opinions, and there is no contradiction." ”
Speaking of which, there is no law that stipulates that the princess must be the mistress, and it is true that each can have her own opinions. But these words are also suspected of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife, no one dares to say it so blatantly, and he said it confidently.
After a pause, Feng Wu threw out another sentence in shock: "What's more, Miss Zhang has not yet married our prince, and it is really inappropriate to call herself Princess Xian at this moment!"
A real person's words, but there are no flaws, and Zhang Jiao almost choked to death.
