Jing Ci's eyes told her that the Xiao family was still the original Xiao family, and Uncle Xiao was still the upright Uncle Xiao. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Silly sister," Yang Shouyan looked helpless, "That's for you to see, in the final analysis, we are a family whose blood is thicker than water, will the eldest sister lie to you?" β
"Didn't the eldest sister ask me to take a closer look? That's what I looked at closely. Jing Ci was unmoved.
Yang Shouyan stared at the younger sister in front of her, and sighed secretly, I really don't know whether to say that she is smart or stupid.
"Come on, step aside."
Jing Ci then retired.
She thought to herself, the eldest sister should know early in the morning that she couldn't find anything when she went to the Xiao Mansion, right? said that Uncle Xiao was Wu Sansi's comrade, but he wanted to give her psychological hints.
The Yang Mansion has formed an alliance with Princess Taiping, isn't it that the Taiping Duke mainly deals with the Xiao family? The Xiao family didn't offend anyone, and they didn't stand in line, these things were very messy. Suddenly, she thought of Qingyun's matter, she couldn't ask the eldest sister directly, should she ask the third sister? See what she knows.
In fact, Jing Ci knows that this third sister hurts her and loves her, and some things can be cleared, in the subconscious of the third sister, she is the daughter of Wang Yang after all.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Yang Mansion, Sheng Courtyard, Ear Room.
Yang Weixiao sat in front of the desk and carefully flipped through an account book. There was only one maid waiting in the house, waiting quietly by the master's side, listening to the orders.
After Yang Weiwei finished reading the account book, she handed it to Yao Tao and instructed, "Take it down and put it away." β
"Yes."
"In addition, I instructed the five shopkeepers to take in more skullcap, coptis, cork, branches, chrysanthemums, gentian, honeysuckle, soybean grass, white flower snake tongue grass, and half branch lotus."
Spring turns from cold to warm, and people are prone to fire.
"The slave and maid are guilty, and they have taken it upon themselves to give orders. In previous years, these medicinal materials had been entered in the shop at this time, so when the shopkeeper Chen handed over the account book, he asked the slave maid for instructions, because you had not yet instructed, the slave maid thought that you should have forgotten, so he made his own opinion...... "Yao Tao is quite cautious."
"It's just that I've been busy lately and I've forgotten about it." Yang Weiwei didn't pursue it, but she was a personal maid who had been with her for many years, and she kept an eye on five pharmacies for her, she trusted her.
Yang Weiwei has been good at pharmacology since she was a child, and since the age of twelve, she has used the private money she has saved for many years to open a medicinal herb shop in Chang'an, and has opened five in four years. No one in the Yang Mansion knew about this except for the maid he trusted. The gold that Li Chen borrowed last time was taken from the profits of her pharmacy.
She knew very well that although she was from the Yang Mansion of the Shi family, she was a concubine, and it was certain that she would marry a prince and a nobleman, but it was unlikely to be the main family. In this case, it is natural to earn more money while you are able, so that you can plan in the future. She deliberately avoided Yang Shouyan's eyeliner in Shengyuan, as long as she didn't show her feet, no one would know.
"The slave has one more thing to report."
Yang Weixiao took a sip of tea, raised her eyes and said, "What's the matter?" β
"The king of Linzi accepted a wife a few days ago, and she is the eldest daughter of Dong Lin, the messenger of Dushui, and the little lady of Dong Zhidong."
When Yang Weiwei heard this, her heart sank, and he took a concubine again.
At the end, she reacted, "Dong Zhi......"
"The Dong Zhi you treated her in Changque Tower last time."
It's her...... Unexpectedly, she entered the Linzi Palace, and became Li Longji's concubine.
"The third lady doesn't have to care, the will of the king is just that, the little lady Dong is a small family, but she is weak, and the king of Linzi may not like her." Yao Tao comforted her master, and she knew the master's painstaking thoughts.
Since the master came back from the last time he came back from the fourth lady of the Weiwang Mansion, he sent her to instruct the five shops to inquire and pay attention to the news of the Linzi Palace. This Linzi king Li Longji has already married the princess Wang, it is said that the princess is very virtuous and beautiful, won Li Longji's heart, and now he has a concubine, delicate and soft.
These princes and noble sons, alas......
"It's not the slave maid who said it, Sanniang and Siniang have reached the age of leaving the cabinet, and the maid should fight for some status in the house anyway, and the ladies can only say a few words when they choose a son-in-law in the future, like now...... Eat fasting and chanting Buddha every day, but not necessarily the old lady and the eldest lady will treat you well. "Yao Tao is unhappy for the master, Wan Niangzi is obviously the master's mother, but she ignores her children, and she doesn't think about the future of the third lady.
"A-Niang is this indifferent character, but she still cares about me and Jing Ci in her heart," Yang Weiwei smiled helplessly, "Don't think about who to rely on, you are the most reliable." β
"The third lady is right."
Yang Weiwei walked out of the ear room and saw the maid hoeing in the yard, so she leaned forward.
In the spring, everything revives, and the seeds that float from nowhere fall on the muddy ground in the yard, and grow very fast. There are some colorful wildflowers at the foot of the wall, all of them fall at the foot of the wall, although they are delicate wildflowers, but they are still visible to be dotted like this, and there is a hoe next to them, which has the meaning of landscape and pastoral.
"Put it all down."
Yang Weixiao told everyone to stop, then turned to Yao Tao and said, "Take pen and ink paint." β
"Yes."
After a while, Yao Tao ordered someone to fetch paint and a stand, and she understood that her master wanted to paint.
Yang Weixiao stood in the corner of the Sheng Courtyard, observed for a moment, and then moved her pen......
The breeze is blowing, the grass is swaying, the low walls of the earth are slightly uneven, but the wild flowers and grasses under the corners are lively and bright.
For a while......
A painting is finally finished.
"Third sisterβ"
Jing Ci walked in from the gate and saw Yang Weixiao standing in the courtyard painting, wearing a light red skirt and long hair fluttering slightly.
Yang Weiwei sank into the painting, and did not seem to hear her voice, she quietly approached......
"It's so pretty......"
Yang Weixiao was pulled out by a sudden voice, and suddenly shook her senses, "When did you come?" β
"I just came in, third sister, you are too focused on painting, so naturally you didn't hear my voice."
"Sit down."
"No need, the weather is so good, Yao Tao, move a few cases to the courtyard, and the third sister and I will enjoy this spring breeze." Jing Ci said with a smile.
Yang Weixiao smiled and shook her head helplessly, "You can do it yourself." β
Then he continued to immerse himself in sketching the scroll.
Jing Ci also paid attention to the painting, looked at the courtyard, looked at the scroll, and muttered puzzledly, "Why are the flowers and plants in the scroll more gorgeous than those in the courtyard?" Such as...... In the fight for beauty. "The flowers and plants in the corner of the courtyard are so leisurely, how they are free from the world, they grow independently, and there is no sense of struggle at all.
Yang Weixiao's heart trembled unconsciously, is it so obvious?
She channeled all her emotions into the painting......
"Sanniang, Siniang, several cases have been laid out."
The two sat cross-legged at the foot of the tree.
Yang Weiwei took a sip of wine and looked at Jing Ci, "What are you looking for me?" β
"What did the third sister say, can't I look for you if it's okay?" Jing Zi pouted and was dissatisfied.
Yang Weixiao smiled, "I don't know about you?" Recently, I've been tossing a lot, always running out, and I think I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. β
Jing Ci was slightly embarrassed, "Actually, it's nothing...... After a pause, she lowered her voice, "I want to ask the third sister, do you still have an impression of Qingyun?" β
Yang Weiwei was stunned when she heard this.
