As soon as he entered the Cloud Pavilion, Banyue greeted him and whispered, "County Lord, the eldest lady is burned." ”
Yi Ying frowned, it took a lot of effort, and someone jumped out to make trouble. "Is it related to Miss Three?"
Half Moon was taken aback: "How do you know?" ”
"Guess." She replied casually, and said, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
"After you entered the palace, the eldest lady went to the courtyard of the eldest aunt and grandmother to chat. Who knew that it didn't take long for the eldest lady to come back, with gauze wrapped around her right arm, and the slave maid stepped forward to ask, but the eldest lady talked about him left and right, and refused to explain the reason. The slave maid saw that Sister Chuxia's face was not good-looking, so she found an opportunity to ask secretly, and Sister Chuxia was very angry, saying that the third lady deliberately knocked over the tea ...... that the eldest lady brought to her.
Yiying glanced at Banyue more. Although she doesn't like to talk much on weekdays, she is careful and smart, and when she speaks, she is very organized, which is very useful.
She nodded, tempting: "Does my mother know?" ”
"I think I know. Sister Hongxiu, who was beside the eldest princess, asked the maid guarding the door a few words, and then went to the yard of the eldest aunt and grandmother, and the eldest princess probably knew about it at this time. ”
"Hongxiu?"
Half Moon hurriedly said: "It's the third-class maid in the main house, and the slave maid met when she went to receive the clothes prepared by the eldest princess for the county lord." ”
But after a morning's work, she even recognized the third-class maid in her mother's yard, and she was really a meticulous person, and she couldn't help but be more satisfied.
"You're a good inquirer. Alright, come with me to see the big sister. Yiying said with a smile. Half Moon was praised, a smile appeared on her face, and she followed Yiying into the main room of the Cloud Pavilion.
Yi Chen was sitting on the kang near the window, wearing a blue skirt, leaning on a large pillow embroidered with green vines, the hairpin ring on the bun had been completely removed, only combed a child, no powder on the face, holding a book in his left hand, and a few circles of gauze wrapped around his right arm, resting on the kang table.
She couldn't help but secretly praise, her sister is really like an empty valley orchid, she was bullied like this by her own sister, and she is in the mood to do such an elegant thing, her heart and strength are far more comparable.
In the early summer, when the two of them came in, they hurriedly saluted and said goodbye, and Yichen turned his head, only to see Yiying with praise in his eyes.
This county lord's sister, she is only seeing her for the first time today, but to her, she is a very special person.
An almost absurd transition when she was a child was caused by her. At that time, the relationship between the two people in the Xue Mansion was already very bad, I don't know who it was, after hearing that Xue Yiying's illness might not be cured, he proposed to his mother that the eldest daughter, who was the same age and temperament as the county lord, often accompany the eldest princess to her knees, as a means of easing the relationship, and the mother agreed.
In the first two years, she watched the eldest princess Min Yuan have nightmares every day because of the loss of her daughter, and when she woke up from the dream, she often saw her as her, but when she was really awake, the grief and disappointment in her eyes were enough to overwhelm her.
She didn't know who to blame. In the big family, women are usually used as a tool for marriage to contribute to the family, and she becomes the heir of another family, and she also contributes to her own small family, she can't blame her mother. How can she blame her mother for the loss of her beloved daughter, the forced thrusting of a daughter, and finally accepting it out of sympathy, and treating the other party as her own, the price she paid was only the sadness of being occasionally used as a substitute?
As for Xue Yiying, she is even more innocent. From the first day she passed to the big house, she understood that the heartache of the eldest princess Minyuan would never be because of an illness, and her Zhaoyuan was obviously lost. A royal daughter of gold and dignity has been wandering in the middle of nowhere for nine years, and in these nine years, she has occupied her parents, her brother, and everything that should belong to her, and now her return is also a matter of course, and she can't blame her.
However, she was helpless and had nowhere to go......
The third sister hurt her today, but her mother's first reaction was to see if the third sister was injured, and at that moment, her heart was cold. And the mother, since Xue Yiying, will not look at her cheap daughter again......
With such a desolate self, why would Xue Yiying show such a gaze to herself? As if she were like a rare treasure, it was clear that she should be the one who was.
Seeing that she didn't react for a long time, Yiying simply sat down by herself and greeted, "I heard that my eldest sister was injured, how do you feel now?" ”
Yi Chen came back to his senses and saw the concern in her eyes, and his heart ached. When Imperial Doctor Du showed her the injury, her mother was also concerned, but she could tell that the concern was full of worry about whether the third sister would be involved, whether she would be scolded, and she couldn't match the almost strange woman in front of her, and her eyes were pure worry.
She was silent, and her tone was a little low: "Sister Xie cares, it's just a small injury, and Imperial Doctor Du said that it can be cured for three or two days." ”
Yiying heard the sound and knew the elegance, nodded with a smile, and changed the topic: "My sister is injured and still reading, she must be a bookworm, I don't know what kind of book this is?" ”
Yi Chen was a little surprised, she thought that she would ask the ins and outs of the matter, but she didn't expect to ask more after only asking about her injuries, it looked like she was just chatting.
"Reading books is also for meditation," Yi Chen smiled, flipped the book cover, and said, "This is a history book from the previous dynasty, and it is interesting to read." ”
"History books are really interesting, but if it's about meditation, I think it's more effective to read Buddhist scriptures." Yiying took a sip of Longjing, her eyebrows and eyes crooked.
"My sister believes in Buddhism?" Yi Chen was surprised, the nobles she had seen all felt that the Buddhist scriptures were boring, and believing in Buddhism was just following the elders to respond to the scene, but there were few who loved to read Buddhist scriptures.
"Well," Yi Ying smiled and nodded, "I didn't believe it, but later I found out that everything is also based on the will of heaven, and some of the words in the Buddhist scriptures are not completely unreasonable." ”
Yi Chen nodded. Since she believes in Buddhism, she is not the kind of person who loves to pinch people, she likes this kind of temperament very much.
The two sisters talked about beautiful patterns from Buddhism, and talked about delicate jade jewelry from patterns, Yichen could detect her kindness to herself from Yiying's eyes and demeanor, and her personality was compatible, she was very speculative for a while, and had lunch together.
After lunch, the two went back to their rooms to rest, and the relationship became a lot closer. It's just that what puzzled Yiying was that her mother never sent someone over to inquire about Yichen's injury.
She thought about something, remembered something, and asked Banyue: "After we return home, what is the movement on the old lady's side?" ”
