69.Chapter 69
The matter is now in trouble, even if Wan Jiamerlin is big, it should be discovered. After all, the woman's screams are too penetrating and widespread, and there are always a few who are shocked.
Wei Banniang went from the northwest border city to Shangdu, relying on his father's favor, almost to the wind and rain, and never tasted the taste of loss. The only two or two experiences came from one person.
Looking at the mighty two eagles on the plum tree not far away, she was a little scared for the first time, this was a feeling she didn't have when facing the Wei family's six mothers. Wei Banniang didn't care about accusing the woman next to her who was rudely pulling her hair, she could only remember that this woman was Su Shi Niang's friend, and it should be safer to stay by her side, and she wouldn't be disfigured by the eagle like those useless girls.
No matter how pampered she is, she understands that if her appearance is ruined, no matter how much her father loves her, it is impossible for her to enter the Zhou Palace. The man she fell in love with at first sight would never have been able to look at her.
"Miss Su, it's all rude, can you please raise your noble hand." A slightly muffled female voice suddenly sounded in the warm pavilion, and then the curtain was raised high, and eight maidservants in snow-blue dresses came out of the pavilion, standing in two columns in front of the door, with low eyebrows and respectful expressions, followed by four maidservants in blue dresses, and finally two beautiful maidservants in goose yellow dresses helped out a girl dressed in red fox fur and with some sharp eyebrows.
The girl glanced at Wei Banniang, who was shrunk beside Guan Qiwen, and her eyes clearly showed disdain, her voice was neither high nor low, with a kind of condensation, "Eighth sister, don't come yet." He owed a little to Guan Qiwen again, "The princess is good." ”
This girl with her own aura is recognized by Su Yan and Guan Qiwen, but she doesn't have much contact. She is the eldest daughter of the second son of the Wei family, the sixth mother of the Wei family, in the case that the Wei family has no daughters, the sixth mother of the Wei family can be said to be the most noble little lady of the Wei family.
Guan Qiwen had already raised the shelf of the princess again, bowed her head slightly, and let out a faint "um", and the momentum on her body was not lost to Wei Liuniang at all.
Wei Liuniang's focus has never been on Guan Qi's tattoo, a vase-like woman who is already destined to be just an empty status, and she doesn't need to pay more attention to it at all. Her eyes fell on Su Yan, and she sighed secretly in her heart, it seemed that every time she saw this ten ladies of the Su family, she would feel that she was a little more beautiful than what she had seen before.
"Miss Su, it was all rude to the sister just now, and Liuniang is here to apologize to you." Wei Liuniang owed slightly, and the momentum on her body was not reduced because of the apology, but became a little stronger.
Su Yan's expression didn't move, and he only looked sideways at Wang Shuyun, who was half-leaning on the maid, "The sixth lady seems to have mentioned one less person." "Wang Shuyun is the niece and granddaughter of her maternal grandmother, the Wang family and the Su family are related, and they are in the same camp, and they have been bullied by your Wei family, just apologize to me casually? My cousin's injury was in vain, and Wei Banniang's offense to her just now is in the past, how can there be such a cheap thing! Su Yan's attitude is also clear, I don't want to be so understanding.
Wei Liuniang smiled, and when she came, her sharp eyebrows and eyes became a little colder, and her tone was a little more oppressive, "Miss Su is not going to give Liuniang this face?" ”
Cut, how much face can you have, I won't give it to you, what can you do, Su Yan thought disdainfully. She still knew that she would say it so clearly, and she was too hateful, so she deliberately tacted, "My cousin is a little seriously injured, so I can't accompany her." Miss Su's delicate chin was raised slightly, her phoenix eyes were shining, and she said arrogantly, I just don't give you face, what's the matter, hum!
Wei Liuniang couldn't let Su Yan go like this, Wei Banniang was so stupid that she didn't take advantage of the opportunity, and she had to come out to clean up the aftermath for her, it was really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and her aunt and grandfather also said that she was a miracle soldier! Phew, the defeated army is pretty much the same.
"Eighth sister, don't come over to kowtow to Girl Su and Girl Wang to apologize." Wei Liuniang raised her voice a little, she stood on the steps, and faced Su Yan and their path, and naturally saw several waves of people coming not far away.
Guan Qiwen laughed, and sneered before Su Yan: "Yo, you can't afford it, what a big face you Wei family girl is, even King Zhou's family can be the family, if you don't let anyone come to the door, you won't let anyone come to the door, Princess Zhou is not as arrogant as her, what is this to His Royal Highness King Zhou, and I don't know what Concubine De will think." ”
Wei Liuniang could see the people behind them, and Guan Qiwen also saw Princess Zhou and her party who turned over from there, she consciously provoked the big beam and pulled a wave of hatred for the Wei sisters.
The Ping Wangfu has no rights in the Great Xia Dynasty, but people have status, and in some cases, this status is also necessary, at least Wei Liuniang can't directly scold Guan Qiwen to keep her mouth shut, and she has to listen to what Guan Qiwen says.
Wei Liuniang knew that she had lost this game today no matter what, and her responsibility now was how to make her lose better and save some more reputation. She glared at Wei Banniang, and there was some threat in her tone: "Eighth sister! ”
Wei Banniang shook her head and bit her lower lip hard, she was not afraid of Wei Liuniang, whether at home or in the court, her father was much stronger than Wei Liuniang's father, the only difference between her and Wei Liuniang was her background, if she was not a concubine, she would not have to be under Wei Liuniang. Besides, it is not okay to apologize to Su Yan and Wang Shuyun, kowtow. If she kowtows to them, where will she have her face in the circle of noble women in Shangdu in the future, and she will be laughed to death.
Seeing that Wei Banniang was stubborn and unwilling to obey, Wei Liuniang's eyes flashed, she walked in front of her in a few steps, raised her hand, and gave Wei Banniang two slaps neatly, Wei Banniang's delicate little face slowly became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye. Wei Liuniang turned around and smiled, "In this way, can Miss Su and Miss Wang be satisfied?" ”
Su Yan raised her eyebrows, "The sixth lady might as well ask Princess Zhou if she is satisfied." After speaking, she pulled Guan Qiwen, bowed to Princess Zhou, and turned around without hesitation. Wei Banniang, who was full of grievances and hatred, and Wei Liuniang, who had a gloomy face, faced Princess Zhou, who looked at the two of them with a smile.
Wei Liuniang quickly cleaned up her mood and took the lead in saluting Princess Zhou, before she smiled and said, "When did the princess arrive, but she is tired, let's go into the warm pavilion and rest." ”
Princess Zhou is from the Wanjia family, Wei Liuniang and Wei Banniang joined forces to make a scene at their own banquet, how could she be happy, let alone Wei Banniang was still aiming at her husband. Speaking of which, she doesn't have a good impression of anyone who covets her husband, whether it is Wang Shuyun or her mother's concubine, but Wei Banniang annoys her even more. Zhou Wangfu will definitely have a side concubine next year, if she is asked to choose, she would rather choose Wang Shuyun than her sister-in-law or Wei Banniang.
"Hehe, Liuniang should take Banniang to clean up, the girl's face is very important." Princess Zhou glanced at the maid who was faint all over the ground in front of the warm pavilion, and mentioned it in a good mood, "The pet beast White Eagle next to the ten ladies of the Su family was the favorite of His Royal Highness the Prince before, and he made great contributions during the autumn hunting. Banniang really has to thank Shi Niang for not letting Xiaobai ruin you. The meaning of his words was heard by everyone present.
The pets tamed by the beast slaves in the palace are docile and obedient in one direction, and on the other hand, they can protect the master, especially around the emperor and the prince, which is even more powerful. Don't look at these pets on weekdays, they can sell cute and spoiled everything, once someone dares to be unfavorable to their owners, they can immediately kill them, and where they can kill people, they will rush to where they are.
Princess Zhou and Wei Liuniang, one is the princess, and the other often walks in the palace, so they both know a little about these. Wei Liuniang was also remorseful, no one thought that Su Siniang would go out with two eagles as a guest. As a result, the good opportunity was not taken advantage of.
Wei Liuniang pressed the chagrin in her heart, and once again owed to Princess Zhou, "Thank you Her Royal Highness the princess for mentioning it, tomorrow Liuniang will prepare a generous gift and take the eighth sister to the Su family to apologize." ”
Princess Zhou waved her hand a little tiredly, "Liuniang, take Banniang to clean up." She secretly said in her heart, she has long known that the sixth mother of the Wei family is a character, and today it seems that the means are ruthless enough, not to mention, if necessary, she can bend and stretch, and act decisively, if she is really made the princess, coupled with the military power of the Wei family, the prince's position will be more stable, and the little thought of her own prince is afraid that it is......
Alas, she can live for a few days, do so much to do, and still be happy for a day if she can be happy. It's a pity that she realized this too late, and it took her body to live.
Su Yan didn't take a few steps on his side, and happened to meet Su Rong, who was hanging out with Wang Jing and Liu Wenxuan. When Wang Jing and Su Rong saw Wang Shuyun's wolf appearance, they hurriedly surrounded him and asked anxiously, "What's the matter, who beat this?" ”
Su Yan briefly explained the matter before saying, "Third cousin, you came just in time, let's take the second cousin to find my aunt and aunt, and say goodbye to Mrs. Wan by the way." ”
Su Rong hesitated a little, "Just call a maid to whisper, let's go over with such fanfare, I'm afraid that Wanjia's face won't come." ”
Su Yan sneered, "For the sake of the face of the Wan family, should we throw our family's face on the ground." Today's matter, Wanjia should have given our family an explanation. Hmph, I've never seen a little lady go out as a guest and bring dozens of thugs. "The two sisters of the Wei family are clearly prepared, and the Wan family doesn't know anything about it, who believes it? She didn't believe it anyway.
Su Rong's face was full of disapproval, she felt that if she could offend less people, she would offend less people, and the Wan family could be regarded as a victim of this matter, they pressed this matter not to make a big fuss, but also gave the Wan family a step, so that they could inherit their own favors, why did they have to break up?
Su Yan was very helpless about Su Rong's idea, "Seventh sister, when it's time to fight for power and profit, no one will release water for today's favor." "Their family and Wan family are not in the same camp, when they really fight, who would have thought that there would be a personal favor that has not been returned? And the usual little things, basically the two have a tacit understanding and will not die.
Su Rong wanted to say more, but was stopped by Wang Jing, she said in a low voice: "It's okay for us to make a fuss, Wanjia and the Wei family ......" She just clicked to the end, who knows if there is an alliance between the Wanjia family and the Wei family, if there is this idea, just take advantage of this time to make them a little rift between the two families. If they don't have an alliance, let them have a worse relationship.
Wang Jing is the girl of the Wang family, and this time it is Wang Shuyun who is the most seriously injured, and her decision also represents the attitude of the Wang family, so Su Rong is naturally not good at saying anything.
As soon as a few girls appeared in the main hall, they immediately attracted countless voices of concern. The old lady of the Wang family had a cold face, and she was about to take her family away, and Su Yan's grandmother followed her sister-in-law in her own family. The old lady of the Wan family stopped twice and didn't stop her, so she had to apologize again and again, coaxed with kind words, and laughed all the way, sending the Wang and Su families away, and her face turned cloudy.
She didn't wait for the banquet to end, she directly called her eldest daughter-in-law over, slapped the table and shouted, "What's the matter?" "At the banquet at their house, the little lady of the human family was almost disfigured, and when the news spread, who would dare to come to their house as a guest.
Wan's daughter-in-law also just figured things out, she sighed deeply, and learned what happened from her mother-in-law, "Speaking of which, the second mother of the Wang family also has some responsibilities, a young lady who runs to the Zhou Wangfu every day, it is really not like words." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she was slapped by her mother-in-law, "Phew, this matter is Wei Ba's fault, don't climb the second mother of the Wang family." She glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law coldly and warned: "You have to remember, you are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wan family, and your maiden name is Yang, which has nothing to do with the Wei family." "How the Wei family and the Su family want to fight for the crown princess, that is the business of the two of them, and it has nothing to do with their ten thousand families, as long as they don't involve the ten families in their fight.
Wan's daughter-in-law was very weak-hearted, and she lowered her head silently and stopped making a sound. At today's banquet, she listened to her mother's words, and she didn't say anything about the Wei family's six mothers and eight mothers who brought so many people in, who would have thought that they would make such a big fuss. I feel scared when I think about it, but fortunately something happened to the concubine of the Wang family, if something happened to the future Princess An or the seventh and tenth mothers of the Su family, it would be difficult for her to explain it clearly even if she had a hundred mouths, and she would not be able to affect her husband, son or mother's family.
Lu sat in the carriage, hugging his daughter, afraid for a while, if Xiaobai was not here today, maybe his daughter would be injured. She touched her daughter's little face, "Auntie, are you afraid today?" ”
Su Yan buried her face in her mother's arms and rubbed it, before she smiled coquettishly: "Don't be afraid, just those few girls can't hurt me." But she saw that Guan Qiwen rushed to Wei Banniang's side very bravely, and caught people, even if Xiaobai didn't appear, she could coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Besides, she is not unprepared, Xiaobai is just a backup.
"Didn't you say that there are dozens of people who can bear it?" Lu said with a smile.
Su Yan raised his hand and touched two hairpins from his head, both of which were seven or eight inches long, the tips of the hairpins were flattened, and the edges were very sharp, like two small knives. She carefully showed it to the Lu family, "Auntie, look, this is specially used by the second brother for me to defend myself." The second brother also specially taught her how to use it, no matter how many people Wei Liuniang brings, they are all little girls, as long as she scratches a few, probably no one will dare to come up.
Lu's whole person was wooden, she didn't expect her daughter to bring such a dangerous thing on her body, it was actually given by her son, what were the two brothers and sisters thinking! She really wanted to pull her daughter and say that she was not allowed to bring such a dangerous thing again, but thinking about today's events, there is a Wei Banniang in Beijing, who can only do things without brains, and her daughter has some self-defense.
"I remember that your grandfather gave me two daggers before, saying that they were given by the emperor, and they should be better than this, so I will turn them out at night and let Suyu send them to you." Lu took out two practical things from his memory and decided to arm his daughter. also specially instructed his daughter, "When you go out in the future, you will go with you." "I don't believe it, the one who dared to hurt her daughter in front of the obedient.
Su Yan nodded obediently, she snuggled back into her mother's arms, and whispered, "Ah Niang, why do I think Wei Liuniang and Wei Banniang are coming for me?" When Wei Banniang provoked her, she had this feeling, and after Wei Liuniang came out, this feeling became even stronger. That's why she refused to reconcile with the Wei sisters.
Lu patted his daughter comfortingly, and also lowered his voice, "Tell me, why do you have this idea?" ”
"Wei Liuniang has been in the warm pavilion for a long time, why didn't she come out at first, and didn't appear until Wei Banniang made things so difficult that they couldn't end it." Su Yan first asked a question, and then gave an answer herself, "She didn't show up before, because she wanted to use the chaos to make me have something, and then push the matter on the maid who did it and Wei Banniang, who caused trouble." If the thing is done, the scene will be even more chaotic, Ah Wen will take me away as soon as possible, and no one will find out that Wei Liuniang is present, and the matter will naturally have nothing to do with her. ”
"At that time, I had always been very strange before, although I didn't have much contact with the little ladies of the Wei family, they had their own plans, and Wei Banniang was simply an outlier among them. She is in the northwest border city, it is normal to be arrogant, it is the territory of the Wei family, but when it comes to Shangdu, she still acts like this, it is not right, at least the Wei family will suppress her. ”
Su Yan tilted her head, playing with the gold bracelet on her wrist, thoughtfully, "But the Wei family seems to be raising her confidence, deliberately being her backer, and doesn't care at all that she offends the quasi-......" It's strange, doesn't the Wei family want Wei Banniang to be the concubine of King Zhou, why don't they teach Wei Banniang well?"
The Lu family touched her daughter's little head lovingly, "Because the Wei family treats Wei Banniang as a miracle soldier and wants her to play a miracle effect." It's a pity that the child was raised too stupidly and became a stinky chess. The Lu family has experienced more, she has long guessed what the Wei family has in mind, doesn't she want to use Wei Banniang's hand to destroy her daughter and remove the most favorable competitor. Is it true that everyone in their family is stupid and can't understand their thoughts? Perhaps, after seeing it clearly, I don't want to care, waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
When he returned home, Lu specially sent his daughter back to Yutang Courtyard and put her to sleep before returning to his house, planning to discuss it with her husband. However, she had to find the dagger first, and then arm her daughter.
"Su Xin, go and find out the account books in the treasury." Lu turned around the subordinates in the courtyard, and finally turned out the pair of daggers given by the emperor under a box piled up in the corner, and found a sandalwood box with a clear heart, and asked Suyu to send it to her daughter, and then she sat down to drink tea and wait for her husband.
When Su Zhoucheng came back, there was still anger on his face, and when he entered the door, he asked his wife, "Is Ashu okay, is she scared?" "Obviously, I know what happened in Wanjia today.
Lu shook his head, "Fortunately, Ah Shu didn't suffer." "Instead, it scared the people who did it. Lu didn't need her husband to ask, so she learned today's things all over again.
Su Zhoucheng stayed for a while and asked, "How could Ah Shu think of taking Xiaobai and Xuanyu to Wanjia together." "Didn't you go to Wanjia to go to the plum blossom banquet, and you didn't hunt, how could you think of taking two eagles with you.
mentioned this Lu was also very helpless, "When Ah Shu was about to go out in the morning, Xiao Bai refused to let her go, and Ah Shu had no choice but to bring them out." I thought, anyway, Xiaobai and Xuanyu are flying in the sky, and no one sees it, so bring it. Now that I think about it, it's good to bring it, otherwise who knows what would have happened. Lu is still a little frightened when he thinks about it now.
Su Zhoucheng hugged his wife in his arms, slowly patted her back to soothe, and echoed, "I once said that Xiaobai is a rui beast and can avoid evil, and now it seems that there is some truth in this statement." "Otherwise, why didn't Auntie go out to play before, and she didn't make a fuss about going out with her, so she had to rely on her daughter today.
Those who understood what happened, not only Su Zhoucheng himself thought so, but the Yongping Emperor in the palace obviously had a lot of brains. He didn't think that the Su family knew the Wei family's plans in advance, but he just felt that Su Yan, the girl, was very lucky.
"Jiayi, you said that Shi Niang's little girl is really lucky. I saw that she could tame the beast before, and I thought that she also had some background, but I didn't think that luck was good, and she should be my daughter-in-law. Emperor Yongping stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Jia Yi still knelt quietly in the corner and didn't make a sound, he was ordered to protect Su Yan, but he didn't expect that the little girl didn't need him to protect him at all, and he would do it himself.
Emperor Yongping thought of his elegant and handsome son, and then thought about Su Yan's little face that was captivating to his family, and the picture of the two standing side by side appeared in front of him, and the emperor suddenly gave birth to a kind of little girl who was more compatible with his son except Su Yan. Not to mention, there is also the criticism of the Zen master and the Shangshan Taoist on the two of them, the dragon and phoenix are auspicious, which makes the emperor very satisfied, is this a beautiful woman. "Jiayi, take care of that little girl of the Su family, I don't want her to be hurt in any way."
"Yes." A replied in a low voice, and disappeared from the house silently.
