Chapter 9: Overboard
When playing in the painting boat, there are servant women who are familiar with the water to guard the side, just in case. After Yan Furong and Song Yan were quickly rescued, they were sent to Zhengqiu Hall together. The doctor came to take a look, prescribed a few pairs of medicines, and told him not to catch a cold again, and that's it.
Yan Furong couldn't remember what she said when she was drunk, but Songyan remembered it clearly. She forced her composure in front of Xue Ya and a few maids, but she was a little panicked in her heart. Among the maids on the ship, can everyone be tight-lipped, and none of them do not go to the master of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion and the Dingyuan Marquis?
Yan Furong was weak, and she caught a little cold when she fell into the water, so she lay on the bed and raised her. Songyan drank a bowl of ginger soup, and it was fine. Although Shao Ding did not come to question Yan Furong, he did not come to visit the patient. The people in the Hou Mansion have not been suppressed by a serious hostess all year round, and they are somewhat high and low. The days in the Zhengqiu Hall were a little difficult.
In the scorching summer, there was not enough ice in Yan Furong's room. Cao's mother, Jin's mother, is old, and she can't stand it at first, so she finds Songyan and complains a few words. Songyan sent people away, and the two mothers took advantage of the fact that a few big girls were not paying attention, and even complained in front of Yan Furong, saying that the people in the Hou Mansion don't take Zhengqiutang in their eyes now. Yan Furong listened, supported her sick body, and even pulled her hair loosely into a bun, and was about to go to see Shao Ding.
When Songyan knew, Yan Furong had already gone to Houhu.
Today's guests from Shao Ding came to visit, and they also played on the painting boat. The guest is a famous prodigal son in the capital, and Yan Furong also has some antecedents, that is, Cao Ruizhong, who laughed and called "gold ten thousand taels, not as good as Hibiscus". He took a few dancing girls who were both beautiful and artistic to Shao Ding's Mansion to make amends for his uncle in a vague manner, and his posture was not low, but fortunately, he himself was free and easy, but he could still be a little humble and not arrogant.
Yan Furong instructed the servant woman to prop up a boat and take her to the painting boat, how dare the servant woman disturb the Hou Ye to entertain the guests? I had to support myself and refuse wholeheartedly. On the painting boat, Shao Ding was tired of the dancing queen's prodigal appearance, so he and Cao Ruizhong had a secret conversation in the cabin, and let a few singers have fun on the deck. Several dancing girls who are full of phoenix marshes have always been held to the sky by the ministers under the skirt, but it is the first time they have met Shao Ding like this, and it is too much to look at them.
One of them, named Qingge, was bored by the railing, and when he saw the emaciated Yan Furong on the shore, he beckoned the sisters around him to see, "There is a crazy woman on the shore!" ”
The rest of the dancing girls saw it, and they also teased Yan Furong, "Is it the concubine of the Hou Ye?" ”
"Master Hou, don't lose interest in us women because of such a person."
This lake is not big, although Yan Furong can't hear the ridicule of these dancing girls, she can clearly see the smiling appearance of these people. Yan Furong was furious, seeing that the servant woman in front of her was still dodging, she reached out and grabbed the penny and jumped on the boat, she didn't know the nature of the water, all with a breath of heart, she wanted to go to the same person to argue about the level, the boat was slowly moving towards the painting boat in the lake, and it caused the laughter of several dancing girls.
Shao Ding and Cao Ruizhong in the cabin heard it and looked out. Shao Ding saw Yan Furong on the boat, but he couldn't recognize it for a while. The Yan Furong in his impression was still the radiant and beautiful person he had been a few years ago, so he casually ordered the soldiers around him, "Send that person back to the shore and don't bother him again." ”
He frowned again and looked at the dancing girls on the deck who couldn't suppress their laughter, and said to Cao Ruizhong, "Send these girls back, I don't need them here." ”
Cao Rui sighed in the center that he didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and agreed with a smile on his face.
The pro-soldier got the order, jumped up from the boat, and got to the boat, Yan Furong was stubbornly competing with the boat, and the pro-soldier didn't know her, seeing that her clothes were a little untidy and her hair was messy, but she didn't touch her rashly, but just lightly snatched the penny in Yan Furong's hand, and when she was in the water, she turned the boat to the shore. Yan Furong has not recovered from a serious illness, and she is trying to reason with others, but she is a little tired when she is interrupted at this time.
When they arrived on the shore, Songyan had already arrived, and when the soldiers saw it, they said to Songyan, "Master Hou has ordered, no idle people are allowed to disturb around the painting boat." After he finished speaking, he did not stop, turned and crossed the lake, and returned to the painting boat.
Songyan was busy helping Yan Furong, and at this time it was difficult to say that this was Mrs. Hou, so she just responded casually.
The dancing girl on the deck didn't know that she was going to be kicked out by her master, and when she saw the crazy woman being escorted back to the shore by her own soldiers, she thought that Shao Ding was accompanying them to have fun, and the laughter was louder, and even the shore could hear it clearly.
Yan Furong listened, and slowly stood up with Songyan's hand. Songyan helped her worriedly and said, "Madam......"
Yan Furong actually showed a smile at this time, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Song Yan didn't dare to say more, and helped Yan Furong back to Zhengqiu Hall.
The night was supposed to be a vigil with nectar and clouds, Songyan was not worried about Yan Furong, so he simply changed the day of night with manna, and slept on Yan Furong's feet tonight. In the dead of night, Yan Furong slowly sat up and walked out of the room. Songyan hurriedly put on his clothes, woke up Yunwu, and followed behind Yan Furong. Seeing Yan Furong walking towards Houhu, Song Yan felt bad in her heart, and Yun Wu trembled with fear, Song Yan instructed, "Go back quickly, and ask Mother Cao and Mother Jin to bring a few people who are familiar with water." ”
Yunwu listened, and hurriedly ran back with her skirt.
Songyan followed Yan Furong to the back lake, seeing that she didn't even hesitate at all, wearing the bright moonlight, she slowly approached the cold lake, Songyan rushed out and grabbed Yan Furong tightly, "Madam!" How could you not think of it! ”
Yan Furong smiled at Songyan, "Songyan, what does it mean for me to live?" ”
Song Yan said eagerly, "Think about Mrs. Yan, think about the son, how can you bear to let them lose their relatives?" ”
Yan Furong sneered, "Since I married Shao Ding, hasn't the Yan family gotten enough?" Without me, I'm afraid that they will be able to wagging their tails and begging for more mercy from Shao Ding. ”
"As for that child," Yan Furong showed a complicated expression on her face, with disgust, guilt, and pity, "Fortunately, I never gave him anything, whether I have it or not, it doesn't matter to him." ”
Song Yan said again, "What about Young Master Youqing?" Don't you want to see him again? ”
Yan Furong was dazed, "Cousin...... At the beginning, I ran away from home to see him, wanting to make it clear to Shao Ding and begging him to break the marriage contract. It's a big deal, I resist the decree with my cousin, I can't live with Qiu, but I want to die with the same hole. It's a pity...... The mother quickly came to find her, and told her aunt to take her cousin into custody. ”
Yan Furong raised her head, tears sliding down her cheeks, "In this life, I am affected by this appearance, and I have nothing to do with my cousin, in the next life, I only want to live in an ordinary family and be an ordinary person!" ”
She made up her mind to shake off the loose smoke and jump into the lake. The two backyard women, pulling and pulling, were entangled, and they fell into the water at the same time. The clear moonlight shone on the lake, and the backyard of the Hou Mansion was quiet, and there was a bang on the lake, only a few circles of ripples and bubbles.
