Chapter 43: The dark tide is surging in the waiting house
Undoubtedly, Lixiang Courtyard is the best location, the largest area, and the most prosperous courtyard in the entire Yongcheng Waiting Mansion.
At first glance, the decoration and furnishings in this courtyard are almost the same as the Rongshou Courtyard where the lord of Anping lives, but if you look closely, you can find many differences.
Or, to put it this way, if the Eisuin Temple, where the lord of Anpyeong lives, gives people a low-key sense of luxury, then Rihyangin is like a nouveau riche who is eager to show the world his wealth and power.
Such a scene is not a big deal in the eyes of outsiders. It's just because the old ladies raised by many nobles in Shengjing live in such similar courtyards. However, in the eyes of Du Zhixuan, a person who keenly guessed the truth of the matter from the words of the ghosts, he immediately understood the old lady's thoughts.
Tut!
This feeling of parting signs between "love rivals"!
Du Zhixuan tightened the flaming red and white fox fur cloak on her body, her eyes swept over the ghosts and ghosts around her, and she had the effect of the arrival of evil ghosts on herself, a living person, every time she looked, the ghosts and ghosts in that place immediately jumped three feet away, and couldn't help rubbing her chin against her fluffy scarf, remembering the scene when she was scared by the ghosts and ghosts in the mansion every time, and her appearance became haggard day by day, and smiled.
Sure enough, ghosts and ghosts are also as selfish as people, there are good and evil, and they are typical "hob meat" - the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal are afraid of not dying!
Behind Du Zhixuan, the maids and daughters-in-law looked in the courtyard or with pride, and they didn't bother to hide the ridicule and ridicule of themselves and others on Du Zhixuan, the eldest daughter of the head of the Yongcheng Waiting Mansion, and their brows frowned, and they had a clearer and more definite understanding of Du Zhixuan's status in the Yongcheng Waiting Mansion.
For these maids and daughters-in-law who did not come forward to greet them after seeing them, let alone greet them with a respectful attitude, but also knocked melon seeds in groups and laughed and chatted, Du Zhixuan just looked indifferent, and was not as angry as before, and then because of this, the old lady and Qian and others grabbed their pigtails, adding to their notoriety that spread all over the streets and alleys of Shengjing.
It's just a group of slaves and maids who deliberately embarrassed and provoked after listening to their master's words!
Qiu Die, Book Butterfly, Zhi Die and Yu Die, the four Anping county lords specially selected and gave Du Zhixuan the maids who were either angry, or thoughtful, or their lips squirmed, but they all pressed down in Du Zhixuan's hand-waving stop action, and hugged Du Zhixuan forward.
Seeing this, the six six people who gave Mama Bai and Mama Yun given by the Queen Mother, Mama Liu and Mama Sun who gave the eldest princess, and Mama Mu and Mama Li who were given by the county lord of Anping lowered their eyes slightly, and the expressions of relief and joy in their eyes flashed away, and soon, they regained their calmness.
The sound of laughter and laughter is not something that can be covered by a heavy curtain, and those words that instigate discord intentionally or unintentionally are also clearly transmitted to Du Zhixuan's ears.
If it was the original body, it is estimated that he would have been full of anger and rushed to the house violently, losing his temper, right? didn't know that such a move only intensified the spread of those rumors again.
Pity the original body who lives in the calculations and frames of his relatives all the time!
Du Zhixuan took off her cloak, patted off the snowflakes stained on it by Qiu Die, and put them next to the stove to roast them warmly, and then signaled Shu Die to stay with her, and then took the two big girl rings of Zhidie and Yu Die, and the two grandmothers of Bai Mama and Mama Yun, turned a huge screen and arrived at the flower hall.
The old lady sitting at the top of the flower hall has green hair, occasionally a few strands of white hair, wearing rose-purple embroidery to wipe her forehead, but, from the big eyes, the high bridge of the nose, you can vaguely see the beauty of her youth. And, from the invisible spots, slightly rosy cheeks, and the corners of her eyes that rarely see wrinkles when she smiles, it can be guessed that she pays great attention to maintenance on weekdays.
The old lady wore a dark red stand-up collar jacket embroidered with gold blessing patterns, a rose-purple cloud bat skirt underneath, a Magu bun on her head, and a pair of red gold phoenix hairpins, with her posture of twisting the Buddha beads in her hand from time to time, and the kind and kind smile on her face, it was like an old lady who enjoyed her old age, lived a happy life, had a happy marriage, and had filial children.
Underneath the old lady sat several young and beautiful women.
At first glance, the momentum exuded by the two people is comparable, and the clothes and ornaments are equally gorgeous, but if you look closely, you can immediately distinguish the identity and status of these two people.
The one on the left wears an apricot-colored embroidered lotus jacket, a red pleated skirt with a morning glow, combs a cloud bun, wears two jade gem hairpins, and wears a pair of jade earrings on her ears, which makes her fair skin more and more moist like jade.
It's a pity that the slightly raised corners of the eyes when looking at people occasionally, and the charming color revealed in the beautiful phoenix eyes, are a big failure.
This kind of concubine, who is obviously a concubine, but is unwilling to serve people in Israel, and is in charge of the housewife everywhere, is the old lady's maiden niece, Du Shilang's noble concubine, Aunt Li!
The one on the right wears a beige jacket, with a lilac embroidered peony flower skirt, combing a falling horse bun, inserting a pair of red gold ruby phoenix hairpins, the phoenix body is densely inlaid with fine gems, the phoenix mouth is holding three strings of mung bean-sized pearls, and the bottom is three large beads in the shape of water drops, which is the style of the finale of the season in Zhenbao Zhai.
On her right sideburns, she wears a peony silk flower with red gold edges, and the ruby drop-shaped earrings under her ears complement the ruby bracelet of the same style on her wrist, with a wealth and style all over her body.
This is Du Shilang's step-room, the Qian family.
And the two women next to them who are also dressed up in makeup, but will not be noticed at a glance because of their seats, etc., are the second wife Yu and the third wife Wang who also live in the waiting house.
As for the long room, the aunts in the second and third rooms who also have countless children are not in the house. Other concubines who can't get on the stage may not be able to see the old lady all year round. It can be seen from this that the backyard of Yongcheng Houfu is currently faintly divided into three factions.
One faction is the Qian family, who has long been privately agreed with Du Shilang for life, but for various reasons, he can only be a steproom, so as to take advantage of Du Shilang's love and guilt to firmly occupy Du Shilang's entire heart and have a certain right to act in the backyard.
One faction was brought up in the mansion by the old lady early, although he and Du Shilang were childhood sweethearts, although they did not give birth to the friendship of "two little guesses", but they used the power of the old lady to operate in the inner house of Yongcheng Hou Mansion for many years and became a noble concubine, and because of the merit of production on the surface, the reason why Qian Hanmeng, the eldest daughter of the lord of Anping, was stillborn in the delivery room, and Aunt Li, the cousin of the concubine who also has a certain right to act in the backyard.
One faction is an alliance of the Yu family, the second wife, and the Wang family, the third wife, to resist the long house, and the goal is to find ways to get the title of Houfu!
And, although she is older, she treats herself as a three-year-old childish child, and the seventeen-year-old girl who snuggles in the old lady's arms affectionately is Aunt Li's daughter, Du Zhixuan's eldest sister, and Du Yu, who is the most favored by the old lady in the entire waiting house.
Another ten-year-old girl snuggled in Qian's arms, at first glance, was slightly worse dressed than Du Zhixuan, but in fact, the clothes and accessories on her body were all good, it was Qian's biological daughter, Du Zhixuan's sister-in-law, Du Zhiwei in the house.
Next to it are the other girls of the Houfu.
At this moment, they may have a gentle smile on the corner of their mouths, quietly looking at the scene in front of them, silently giving people an invisible and low-key feeling; or undisguised ridicule and ridicule of Du Zhixuan because of some reliance; Or looked at Du Zhixuan with a kind of pity, and the corners of her slightly hooked mouth were full of anticipation for the upcoming wonderful drama......
Don't look at these girls who don't deal with each other in private, but they all have a common enemy - Du Zhixuan!
In other words, as long as Du Zhixuan appears, then everyone will not hesitate to put aside their prejudices and personal enmity in their hearts and deal with Du Zhixuan together, just to be able to put Du Zhixuan to death.
- How much does this have to be memorized, or, it should be said, how annoying and hated the original body is on weekdays, so that you can't find an "alliance" in the entire Yongcheng Waiting Mansion, even if it's just a temporary ally?! The author is still in the retreat code.,Here's the manuscript box~~~.
