Chapter 21: Stratagem
At the beginning of the heavy snowfall, the entire capital was wrapped in this pure white color. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info As the saying goes: the snow is not cold, the snow is cold. It's almost the Lunar New Year, and there are thousands of things in the house, big and small.
The Nguyen clan is busy with the next 24th day of the lunar month. Early in the morning, the stewards and grandmothers in the house gathered in the Lai Yi Pavilion and reported all the things. Ruan Shi rubbed his temples and said, "Xi'er, you also have to learn some housekeeping things, what you learn in books must be dead." In the future, you are going to marry the most noble person in Izumo, and the things in the back house are the most complicated, so you have to learn from your mother. ”
"Mother, my daughter is still young. I'm going to spend a few more years with you and my dad. Ye Zixi blushed and leaned her head on Ruan's shoulder as if she were coquettish.
Ruan Shi rarely smiled and gently stroked Ye Zixi's back. Needless to say, this daughter of her own. It's just that the temperament has to be sharpened a little. If you enter the palace in the future, you will suffer.
originally thought that the foxy Mo family would be confined, but I didn't want to cheapen the silent fourth aunt Liu. The most hateful thing is the little cheap hoof named Ye Juan, who has made himself deflated several times. The back house of this Ye Mansion is really inexhaustible.
Ruan Shi thought that he had been fighting for most of his life since he married to Yefu at the age of sixteen. If this backhouse is like a pool of stagnant water, it will lose the fun.
"Madam, a few aunts and young ladies have come to say hello. "Green Bead has been acting more and more cautiously since the green mark left, for fear that one will accidentally follow in the footsteps of the green mark.
A group of people sat down one by one, according to their seats. Ruan's ordered people to serve the new alpine cloud tea, which is fresh and sweet, and the tea fragrance is soft and long.
"The fourth sister is really a good means, the girl's family showed up to save the reputation of the Ye Mansion. Ye Zixiao said sarcastically.
"What is the third sister talking about, besides, this matter is related to Wan'er's own innocence, and I can't let those people with ill intentions ruin the reputation of my Ye Mansion. Ye Wan took a sip of tea and continued indifferently: "Besides, I have to thank the eldest mother for her kindness, if it weren't for the eldest lady to send the body of the green mark back, I'm afraid that this future will not happen!
"You, you, you ......" Ye Zixiao was speechless angrily, her pretty face turned red, and she pointed at Ye Wan and said. Then he sat down and said no more.
"Now that it's over, there's no point in talking about it. Thanks to her cleverness, it has eased my burden. Those of you who are sisters should learn from your sister hard, and also share more for the Ye Mansion. Nguyen chuckled and changed the subject.
Ruan's was reprimanded by Ye Fengchun for this. Regardless of Nguyen's years of hard work in running the house. I don't want to bring up this sad past at this time.
"Sister, I've been a big celebrity in the house lately. It's hard to serve the master, right? Ruan's words said to the fourth aunt Liu with an obvious vinegar flavor.
"Serving the master, don't dare, don't dare to say it's hard. This is the duty of a concubine. Liu replied timidly.
"That's a blessing that others can't ask for. You have to hurry. Ruan Shi looked at the empty seat of the third aunt, and then stared at Liu Shi and said with a warning tone.
Liu responded cautiously. With his head down, he drank his tea carefully.
"Mother, it's been really hard to prepare for the Stove Festival these days. I asked the small kitchen to prepare Dong'e Ejiao, and I will send it to my mother to make up for her body later. Ye Zilan said very intimately.
"It's still Lan'er the most caring, and she is more filial than my own daughter. Xi'er, you have to study hard. Ruan Shi smiled and looked at Ye Zixi with doting eyes and quipped.
"That's what a daughter should do. Ye Zilan looked at Ye Zixi, whose face changed slightly, and replied in a low voice.
"Alright, alright. It's okay to disperse. Ruan Shi rubbed the corners of his forehead and said.
Bixia Pavilion, with its splendid decoration style and snow, becomes a different scenery in its own right. It's just that the door is closed, and the door is full of birds. Compared to the old days, the door pavilion is really lively, it is really a world of difference.
Even the people in the house now walk around Bixia Pavilion, and the warmth and coldness of the people can be seen. In addition, Mo's usual commanding posture is now a little down, and everyone avoids it. is not like the fourth lady who is popular today, she is humble and tolerant of her subordinates.
"Mother, you have to think of a way. If the confinement is not lifted, we will not be able to live in Yefu. You didn't see that you came to the Yige Pavilion today to say goodbye, and they laughed at me vigorously. Ye Zixiao's eyes were red and she cried at Mo's.
In the past, when the Mo family was favored, it is no exaggeration to say that Ye Zixiao was the tyrant of the Ye Mansion. No one can take a detour if they see it.
"Good daughter, don't cry. Mother is trying to figure out a way. When Mo saw his daughter's tears, his heart was crumpled into a ball.
"Mother, don't you see, the house is full of people who worship high and low, and a few days ago I wanted to eat a stewed partridge with apricots in the north and south. The villain in the kitchen shirked and said that the fourth lady's house had already been decided, saying that the master would use it at night. There is nothing else. Ye Zixiao said with a smile.
"Now is not the time to cry, I don't believe that the old man is so unmissive. Mo said hatefully. In the past, the slut of the Liu family was not always short for his sister, but now he dares to fight with himself.
Is it true that the tiger is not powerful and is teased by a sick cat?
Mo's dark eyes rolled, and a plan suddenly came to his mind. It's just that......
"Hurry up and prepare water, I'm going to bathe. Mo Shi commanded to the maid.
"Madam, hot water is boiling now, I guess I will wait a while. The maid replied cautiously. Since Madame was locked up and confined, it was a cannon temper, and she could do it at all.
The maid, who was still trembling and waiting to be beaten and scolded, was shocked by Mo's words.
"No, just get me a bucket of cold water. Mohs commanded. Seeing that the maid who was stunned in place was angry, she said sharply: "Do you have to wait for cold water? ”
The maid who came back to her senses hurriedly fled and left.
"Mother, what are you doing here?" Ye Zixiao asked suspiciously.
"I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf. We're going to have to make some tricks this time. Mo gritted his silver teeth and squeezed this sentence out of his teeth.
"By the way, the most important thing is Xiao'er, you cooperate well, and be sure to invite your father to our Bixia Pavilion. Mo Shi explained very solemnly to Ye Zixiao.
Ye Zixiao patted her chest and promised: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely invite my father." Don't let your mother suffer this sin in vain. ”
Mo nodded with satisfaction, whether the predicament in front of him can be resolved, he has to bet on whether Ye Fengchun still remembers his past feelings.
Isn't life a big or small gamble? How bad can it be? What worse situation could there be than to be locked up like a canary in this gorgeous and cold house?
