24. Forbearance
"For the first time, I knew how important this power was. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the next three years, you also know how much effort I have to work to really hold the power of the family.
The main mother is still there, but the eldest daughter who has not left the pavilion is in charge, looking at Shengjing, there is only one of our Yunfu.
This matter is better to say, because I am both talented and virtuous and good at general affairs.
At worst, it was because I relied on my grandmother's old age and weak status and the low status of the concubine to hold on to the power of the house.
If I don't protect my reputation, I'm afraid that people will drown in spit sooner.
At that time, for the sake of the face of the Guogong Mansion, I am afraid that Aunt Su will return to power, then everything I have done will be in vain, right?
Moreover, so many things have come over the years, and there has been more than one slap.
I wasn't angry at that time, so why fight at this time? ”
Her face was still calm, as if those hardships were not what she had suffered, and it was unspeakable to see Yun Zhen's heart.
"Sister, I was wrong." Yun Zhen's voice was dumb, and his eyes were red.
How difficult those three years were, he knew, he knew.
"I know you're holding grievances for me," she reached out and gently rubbed Yun Zhen's white porcelain-like face, with a faint warmth in her eyes, "I'm your sister, your sister-in-law." There's a lot to do for you, and that's just a tiny fraction of them.
There are many costs to be paid to hold this power, and today's grievances are also only a small part of it.
Yun Zhen, you have to learn to endure, not only to endure your own grievances, but also to endure my grievances for me. ”
Her voice was as gentle as the melting snow in early spring, and Yun Zhen felt more and more guilty and powerless in her heart.
Looking at the sister in front of him, Yun Zhen hesitated for a moment, then grabbed her hand and said with a firm expression, "Sister, when I grow up, I will definitely protect you." ”
The corners of Yun Qingyan's mouth hooked up a faint smile: "Then I'll wait." ”
Waiting for you to grow up, waiting for you to be on your own.
Just wait until you don't need my protection anymore.
After returning to Qinghao Courtyard, I saw that the stone table in the courtyard was full of breakfast, Yun Luan was quietly eating breakfast, and the people were busy going back and forth.
"Ahem." Yun Zhen looked at her back and coughed awkwardly.
Yun Luan, who was drinking porridge in small sips, stiffened, and when he came back to his senses, he still stubbornly put the porridge in his mouth.
Why did this evil god come here early in the morning, shouldn't he be unable to think about it after going back yesterday, and he was going to come early in the morning to fight the lord of this county, right?
Yun Luan began to pray to the heavens and the earth with a weak heart, hoping that Yun Qingyan would wake up and have breakfast quickly, but she couldn't stop this evil spirit.
A faint voice came from behind, "Miss Jiang, is eating well?" ”
Yun Luan was suddenly overjoyed, it was her voice.
Well, this straw bale god seems to listen to her very much, and with her, she can at least finish this Ansheng meal.
"It's okay, it's okay." Yun Luan resisted the urge to turn back, and gently put down the spoon in his hand, "Why did you get up so early in the morning?" ”
Yun Qingyan walked to the stone table and sat down, picked up a cup of goat's milk, and said warmly, "There is something in the house this morning, so I got up early." ”
Yun Luan was a little curious when he heard the word something: "Huh? What's going on in your house? ”
"Ahem," Yun Zhen also walked to the table and sat down, and took over the conversation a little unnaturally, "A woman from the outer courtyard entered the house with a big belly. ”
"Hmm."
Yun Luan felt a little embarrassed, so he stopped talking and continued to drink porridge.
Occasionally sneaking a few glances at him, his demeanor is more than a star and a half better than yesterday, and his demeanor is gentle and a little restrained.
Seeing this, Yun Luan also took out his upbringing as a county lord, and tried to make his chewing silent, and the meal was surprisingly quiet.
"I still have something to do, you two continue to eat." Yun Qingyan took the Jingpa and wiped her mouth.
Yun Luan frowned and looked at the remaining porridge in her small bowl, "You eat more, can you be full with that?" ”
"No need," Yun Qingyan turned her head and smiled indifferently at Yun Zhen, "Treat Miss Jiang for my sister." ”
"Okay." Yun Zhen nodded with a tense face, trying to hide the discomfort in his heart.
After leaving the Qinghao Courtyard, Jinghua pondered for a moment and said, "Miss, the slave maid heard from the little maid who returned to the house yesterday that we have a scoundrel in Yushulou, do you know about this?" ”
After passing through the verandah, there is a section of ivy veranda, which is heated in spring, and there is a verdant scene on the rattan pergola.
"I know about this," Yun Qingyan stroked the mutton fat jade ring on her index finger, and said indifferently, "I have already ordered it, and I will be able to solve them soon." ”
"Solved?" Jinghua frowned in disappointment, "I thought I could watch the scene!" ”
"You want to see the excitement?" Yun Qingyan looked at her with a faint smile.
"No, no, no," Jinghua immediately straightened her waist weakly, "Of course, everything is focused on the young lady, no matter what kind of excitement it is, I won't go to see it." ”
Yun Qingyan smiled lightly and didn't speak.
Jinghua was so embarrassed that he laughed dryly.
"I'll go tonight," Yun Qingyan smiled lightly and reached out and knocked her forehead, "Lest I say that I only took Miss Jiang and left you behind." ”
"Really?!" Jing Hua was overjoyed for a moment, and felt that she had just asked the wrong question.
"Nature is true."
That day, in Yushu Building, because she was wary of others eavesdropping, she and Steward Liu talked very quietly, and Yun Luan also sulked herself.
Take her to watch this tonight, so as to get rid of the knots in her heart.
Since we have said that we have agreed to form an alliance, we should also show sincerity.
"That's right! And one more fun thing~"
"Well, you name it."
"Miss, have you heard, there is a poetry performance in the Mingzhu Poetry Museum on the day of the spring equinox!" Jinghua said with great interest: "It is said that the students of Qin Yi Academy will come to perform poems at that time, and that Bai Qixian is also among them." ”
Bai Qixian, the son of the Bai family admired by the fourth sister.
Yun Qingyan was a little surprised when she heard this, "Bai Gongzi is also there?" ”
"Yes, miss, do you like Bai Gongzi?" Jinghua raised her eyebrows and said with a wicked smile: "If you like it, the slave will tie him up and round the cave room first~"
Yun Qingyan shook her head indifferently, "You know, I don't care about one thing." ”
"The slave maid remembered that the fourth lady likes Bai Gongzi." When Jinghua said this, her eyebrows suddenly danced: "If the slave maid ties up the white boy to the fourth lady, maybe the fourth miss will set up an immortal tablet for the slave and the maid, haha!" ”
Yun Qingyan glanced at her coldly, "I think too much, I have to set up a tablet for you then." ”
"Actually, it's not uncommon for the fourth lady to kneel down to the slave every day," Jinghua changed her words, shook her head in disgust, and said, "The slave is afraid that Aunt Lin will come to the slave and maid every day to cry and mourn in the future." ”
Yun Qingyan shook her head and smiled helplessly, this Aunt Lin really doesn't have the slightest master.
Several aunts in the house are the most annoying to Aunt Lin, crying and whimpering all day long.
Jinghua also thinks that Aunt Lin can cry, and she spends a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears for a small matter, and she estimates that she will wipe a cloth when the big thing comes.
"Aunt Lin's kung fu of dropping the golden beans, if she goes to the funeral hall to be a crying and mourning lady," Jinghua touched her chin and said, "If you don't say anything, you can cry a silver mountain." ”
All the elderly who have thin children and grandchildren or no daughters, after death, their families will let the mourning lady cry in front of the spirit, and if the kung fu is good, they can even cry for them.
Because the deceased have been the largest since ancient times, they can earn five taels of silver at a time, and they can earn ten taels for those who cry.
"Alright, don't be poor." Yun Qingyan frowned and said coldly: "It's not good to talk about the master behind the back of being a subordinate. ”
Jinghua regained her senses and hurriedly responded, "Yes, yes, yes, not poor." ”
"When did you hear that?"
Hopefully, this hasn't spread yet, so it can save some trouble.
"It was last night, my cousin said it last night when the slave went to run errands."
"Tell me to go down, if the people around Miss Fourth say something that shouldn't be said," Yun Qingyan's eyes gradually became cold, "Then send it to the correctional village outside the city." ”
"Yes. What if Miss Four already knew? ”
"It's okay, let people knock on Aunt Lin on the side, and send more maidservants to watch." Yun Qingyan raised her hand and gently rubbed her sour neck, looked ahead and said lightly, "Forgive her, don't dare to lift the sky." ”
After all, the ancestor said last time that if she dared to go beyond the rules again, she would not only be punished, but also Aunt Lin.
With Aunt Lin looking at her, everything is easy to say.
