Chapter 8: The Cause of the Stormy Past (3)
As soon as the general's mansion was settled, everyone began to be busy preparing for the general's return to the mansion, Yuwen Zhihong was busy receiving guests from all walks of life, and in his spare time, he had to visit the former teachers, and he was very busy;
The dark line in the capital is called more than one, Yan Shu once joked: "Ten random people are caught on the street, six of them are hidden piles, three have been favored by others, and one is an outsider." ”
Ah Qi and Yuwen Yanshu were not idle, they turned Yanshu's Shutong Garden over again, and all the flowers and plants that were useless were uprooted and thrown out. Ah Qi has superb medical skills, usually indispensable to tinker with medicinal herbs, and all kinds of herbs are planted in the new land that is secluded, Ah Qi needs to practice swords every morning, and has to vacate a vacant space to keep his sword dance in the sky, and Yuwen Yanshu, who is a young lady, has no preferences or specialties, what she does the most every day is to eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and then rack her brains to tease others.
Therefore, they thought about it and had to tie a swing next to the sword field, and Shutong Yuan could be regarded as having a place for Yuwen Yanshu, and the stunned Yuwen Yanshu looked up to the sky and sighed: "The wind is going down." ”
On this day, Yuwen Zhihong went to pay homage to Lin Xueru, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had already resigned at home. In the past, when he was in Chang'an, he had listened to Lin Xueru's lectures, this person explained incisively, and always had his own set of opinions on literature and things, and was deeply admired by Yuwen Zhihong. Ah went to Yu Wenyi's army, and could only arrive in Beijing after half a month with the army, and even the Bai family was invited away by the nobles in the palace.
Thinking of Bai's empty eyes and high-spirited expression when he left, Ah Qi gritted his silver teeth and creaked, and unexpectedly something even more unexpected came - it was rumored that Dou Qianjiao, the woman who was in love with Young Master Liu at first sight, came to visit.
When they saw Dou Qianjiao at first glance, Yuwen Yanshu and Ah Qi were startled, obediently Dongdong, this Liu Chengbiao's aesthetic vision is really unique. Although Dou Qianjiao is said to be young and cardamom, she can be regarded as having beautiful eyebrows and good facial features, but this figure is indeed rare and plump. Especially wearing a dazzling red gold thread embroidered dress with a jeweled jewelry made them amazed, it turned out that the charming Miss Qianjiao is a real "golden" lady, it is really difficult for those palanquin drivers.
Yuwen Yanshu flashed four gorgeous big words in his mind: Sister Furong.
Immediately afterwards, a touching and tearful "sisterly meeting" scene was staged in the side hall of the General's Mansion.
"It's hard for my sister to stay away from the capital for a long time at such a young age, and my aunt has passed away again, why is my sister so miserable. Saying that, he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and changed his smiling face: "It's good now, my sister is back, and my sister is also relieved, after all, it can't compare to Chang'an, although my sister can be in and out of the water in the water, but she is too thin, no wonder Liu Lang chose to withdraw from his family, fortunately, there are still some good men in the capital." ”
Ah Qi stood aside and forcibly endured the twitching of the corners of her mouth, relatives, relatives, relatives, relatives, sisters, brothers, sisters, sisters, And where are you here to visit, do you talk like that?
"Sister, sister is used to it, it's the same everywhere. Yuwen Yanshu looked miserable, as if he had seen through it a long time ago: "I don't want to come back this time, this is my mother's hometown, I was sad when I saw my mother's previous things, but there was such a thing as Young Master Liu again." ”
"Sister, this is my sister sorry for you, if my sister hadn't met him, my sister wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles for this matter. Dou Qianjiao's eyes were slightly red, and she sighed again and again.
"Sister, what are you talking about, everyone's fate is just that, and no one can force it. ”
In the side hall, there is still a scene of sisterly harmony, friendship and warmth, and someone has come to report that Liu Chengbiao and Young Master Liu are here.
In all fairness, this Liu Cheng's appearance is still good, with a long figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a hidden unruly color in the corners of his eyes, a slightly dark complexion, and a healthy wheat color.
"Why do you fall in love with Dou Qianjiao?" Yuwen Yanshu and Ah Qi muttered in their hearts at the same time
"Miss Yuwen" sounded like gold and jade, and there was a sound on the ground, "I heard that Miss Dou came to your mansion, and I want to discuss something with Miss Dou in the future, and I also asked Miss Dou to come out and talk about it." "Long body, one pole, courteous, modest and humble from beginning to end.
Yuwen Yanshu was stunned, how could he be so calm, as if it was none of his business. Dou Qianjiao in the hall walked out quickly, her bloated figure trembling violently up and down, holding on to the door frame, panting, affectionate: "Liu Lang." ”
Yuwen Yanshu, whose voice was shrill and delicate, trembled violently and looked at her in horror. Looking at Liu Chengbiao again, he seems to be accustomed to it, his smile remains the same, and his tenderness is undiminished: "Miss Dou, it's not early, let's send Miss back home first." ”
Dou Qianjiao was full of shyness, lowered her head slightly, nodded, and said embarrassedly: "Sister, I'm really sorry for bothering me for a long time today, so my sister will leave first." ”
Yuwen Yanshu was reluctant: "Sister, today, Fang Hate met very late, and he will visit another day." Then he called Aqi: "Go and bring the black box in the mahogany box on my dressing table." ”
Ah Qi left in response, and after a while came over with a black box, the box was carved with a bewitching peony, Yuwen Yanshu ignored Dou Qianjiao's words, turned to Liu Chengbiao, and wanted to cry: "Brother Liu, Yanshu knows that Pu Liu's posture is difficult to match the quality of his brother's gold and jade, and this night pearl does not dare to have it, and the little sister will return it here." ”
Liu Chengbiao's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Why did Sister Shu'er say this, the marriage event, the life of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker, how can you and I be allowed to do it." ”
"Brother Liu," Yuwen Yan Shumei's eyes were already full of tears, "Sister Dou, you see that I am to blame, if I return this thing to the Liu family as soon as possible, I will not be tired of my sister and brother going all the way to this trip, now my brother is unwilling to accept it because of his face, sister, you can accept it, anyway, sooner or later it will be yours." ”
Dou Qianjiao, who was stunned because of Liu Chengbiao's words, said very unnaturally when she heard the words: "Where is my sister, my sister just wants to come to see my sister, and I have no other intentions, my sister doesn't need to be careful, she hurt her body carefully." The two sister's cries were far-fetched.
Yuwen Yanshu raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and said with a smile: "My sister still loves me." He sighed: "What my sister taught just now is that there are many young talents in the capital, and my sister will have more opportunities in the future, so she is not in a hurry." “
The corners of Dou Qianjiao's forehead twitched constantly, and she had to show the signature smile of a famous lady on her face: "Sister will leave first, and I will come back to visit another day." Before the words fell, the person was already a few meters away, and the big red water sleeves rolled up a gust of wind and blew up piles of floating dust on the ground.
Liu Chengbiao laughed: "Sister Shu'er, Liu also said goodbye first, and visited the door another day." ”
The black box was still in Yuwen Yanshu's hand, glowing with a faint light. Yuwen Yanshu's sad expression disappeared, replaced by a sneer and a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Come on, send this thing to Liu's Mansion." ”
Going away with the people, Ah Qi stomped her feet fiercely and hurriedly ordered someone to dip Dou Qianjiao over, wash and wash the places she touched, and said to the calm Yuwen Yanshu: "It's a shame that you can calm down, as soon as I saw her fleshy face huddled together, my heart was full of evil, what did you say?"
"Gotta get it", Yuwen Yanshu waved his hand: "This woman doesn't have any calculations in her heart, she only knows how to show off blindly, and she is not as good as Bai Rouxin, let her suffer two secret losses in front of people, and she won't dare to come to the door in the future." ”
Ah Qi laughed: "Fortunately, Liu Chengbiao came in time, not only took the woman away, but also let you put on a good show." ”
Yuwen Yanshu rolled his eyes, glanced at her, and lamented: "Do you really think that he is in time for the rain, but I gave the sedan chair man a thousand dollars, and they agreed to carry the sedan chair around the gate of Liufu a few times, a thousand." ”
Ah Qi was speechless, no wonder, Yuwen Zhihong has been chattering, Yan Shu is born to be a strong man on the battlefield without gunsmoke.
The faint crying of a woman came from the Shaohua Palace, which provoked the little eunuch outside the hall to peek. The woman who called herself General Yuwen's wife had been in for half an hour.
"Niangniang, you want to be the master of the slave and maid, their brother and sister began to tease me openly and secretly as soon as the little hooves of Yuwen Yanshu landed, and after her mother's death, she intensified her efforts, putting poisonous insects in my diet, and putting safflower in the fetal pills, and now she has forced me to the water purification institute that has been in disrepair for a long time, Niangniang, you save the slave and maid. Bai sat on his knees on the ground and whimpered about the humiliation accumulated over the years.
The woman on the main seat leaned lazily on the cushion, her well-maintained face still charmed, and her charm was not reduced, and she listened to Bai's complaints, and was a little impatient: "You have been Yuwenyi's concubine for so many years, and you can't even fight a child?"
"Niangniang", Bai Shi wailed, "You don't know that she is overbearing and arrogant, on the day I returned to the house, the Qin steward only mentioned me briefly, and the little slut scolded loudly, saying that their general's mansion has their own Yuwen family's affairs, although her mother is dead, and the Yuwen Zhihong family, don't say that I am a nameless slave and maid, even if you go in person, you have no right to meddle in his family." ”
"Huh?" Liu Xinyun's eyebrows gradually twisted, Dugu Rong is a scar in her heart, since she was sensible, people have constantly compared them, Dugu Rong's gentle and chaste has always been loved by everyone, even her family often mentions that she should learn more from her, and even Yu Wenyi once commented that Dugu Rong is as elegant as a cloud and gentle as water. But she never felt that Dugu Rong was better than her, and even disgusted with her, in her eyes, Dugu Rong was a weak and pretentious lady, who was always sick and moaned and coaxed people to love her. Especially when I learned later that Dugu Rong married the man she wanted to marry, and gave birth to a son in less than a year, I couldn't help but be jealous, Dugu Rong was the shadow she couldn't cross in her life.
Liu Xinyun gritted his teeth: "Yu Wenyi, don't you care, just let them do whatever they want?"
Bai Shi was stabbed in the sore spot, and he couldn't cry even more: "Don't say that the general is not at home now, even if he is, he also listens to that little slut for everything, once that little slut burned the battle map of the night attack on the Turks, the general not only didn't blame him, but also hugged her and said, 'It's just a piece of broken paper, my son is far-sighted, and he has a plan for everything'?"
"Wait," Liu Xinyun's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered something, and sat up straight suddenly, "The battle map you said was brought by the third prince three years ago?"
Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, and looked at it from afar: "This, the slave maid doesn't know, the slave maid only knows, Yuwen Yanshu took two teenagers to the main camp of the army in the early morning of that day, and I heard that it was discovered by the guards of Huaiyuan County, and the general treated the two very grandly, and this picture was brought by them." ”
"You mean the three princes were brought back by Miss Yuwen?"
"Yes, sis. Bai replied in the affirmative: "That day, the two were covered in blood and mud, and the wolves were unbearable. ”
"Oh-" Liu Xinyun nodded thoughtfully, "You go down first, don't talk to the second person about today's events." ”
"But Niangniang," Bai said anxiously.
Liu Xinyun glanced at her coldly: "I will take your affairs to heart, and after returning home, I will be more comfortable and think about the fate of Chunlan and them."
Bai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, Chunlan was one of the first five women Liu Xinyun gave to Yuwenyi, they were too flamboyant and domineering in Yuwen Mansion, bullying Dugu Rong at will, and was known by today's queen that Queen Dugu and Dugu Rong have the same father and mother, only two years older than Dugu Rong, how can they stand idly by and watch this matter, after that, Chunlan and they died of violent illness one after another, and there is no news about two so far.
Bai Shi hurriedly kowtowed and left with a thousand thanks.
In the huge and gorgeous Shaohua Palace, the colorful flags fluttered, and Liu Xinyun was reclining alone, quietly falling into contemplation.
