128 Go to Hoi Ninh Province
Early in the morning, Gou Ruyun had breakfast at Chengguofu's house, so he took the carriage of Chengguofu and hurried back to Huining Mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Wen came early in the morning to accompany Zeng to have breakfast and take a walk in the garden. The four aunts followed behind in gorgeous clothes, their faces full of caution, one of them holding fruit, one holding tea, one holding snacks, and one holding a towel. Qiaolian and Qiaoxin are like a pair of white butterflies lingering next to Zeng's family.
"Miss Ruyun is back?" Qiao Lian was surprised to see a familiar shadow coming back from outside.
Wen and Zeng were looking at the newly opened water lilies in the pool, and when they heard what Qiao Lian said, they both turned around and looked over, and sure enough, Ruyun came back.
Ruyun saw her stepmother by the pool, hurried over, please be safe, and didn't speak yet. Wen asked eagerly, "Didn't you ask to stay at home for two more days?" β
Ruyun raised Ruhua's little face, smiled lightly, glanced at the four aunts not far away, and said softly: "There are many mosquitoes in the house this summer, I learned a prescription for making incense from the sixth sister yesterday, so I came back early to give the recipe to Sister Qiaolian, so as to improve the use of incense medicine as soon as possible." β
Zeng smiled, "You don't talk much in front of me on weekdays, but I don't get used to seeing you for a day." Go to my house and slowly tell Qiaolian about Fangzi. As he spoke, he took her hand and shook it gently.
Not long after I came out to enjoy the flowers, I had to go back to the house. The four aunts were on the side, their faces were as calm as a lake, but they longed to die in their hearts. The eldest aunt Wan has a daughter named Yi Lin who is married to a relative of the Wen family, and she will marry in the autumn, if it were not for this, Zeng would not have changed her mouth since last year and said that she has a son and a daughter. The second aunt's daughter Yi Ying is thirteen years old this year, and she originally recognized Zeng's mother-in-law, but except for coming to Zeng's in the morning to ask for peace, Zeng's almost didn't let them follow her, and she didn't even have Yi Ying as her daughter. However, Gou Ruyun, an outsider, was recognized as a righteous daughter and gained a lot of benefits, and even Hou Ye liked her very much.
What's the use of hate? Zeng's birth is noble, and she is a first-class lady named by the emperor. They don't worry about eating and drinking, and they also have some assets in their hands, but they don't live comfortably in the house, and it is rare for the Hou Ye to go to their house to sleep twice a year, which is not as good as Qiaolian and their girls.
Zeng didn't need to look at them to know their thoughts, and quietly, just waved his hand to them, "Put your things away, go back to your own house." β
Gou Ruyun's face was full of innocence and ignorance, but she knew very well in her heart that she would never become the same fate as these four aunts in the future, and once the Zeng family was no longer there in the future, these four aunts would inevitably jointly eradicate her.
There are also Qiaolian, Qiaoxin and Qiaomeng, isn't it because of the relationship between his wife that he is good to himself?
It's not the right time for her to do something, but she has to know everything.
Zeng gently pinched her tender little hand again, and he felt strange how he liked Gou Ruyun so much. In fact, Yilin and Yiyu don't have to be stupid, let alone their daughter in their own name.
However, as long as I think of the four handsome aunts, I feel inexplicably indifferent in my heart. Although Hou Ye was almost exclusive to her, they still gave birth to two daughters.
Sometimes blood is not as good as friendship, just like she and the queen have no blood relationship, but the queen is like sisters, the queen controls the concubine and the crown prince very firmly, and a considerable part of the honor of Huining Mansion is also the credit of her efforts to maintain.
Those four aunts are resentful, what can they do?
Gou Ruyun had a heart with her, sensing her thoughts, her fingers moved slightly, and Zeng's held her tighter.
Wen was very happy on the side, Ruyun, this child is simply a treasure, Zeng said that he was a little bored in the morning, and he was much better when he saw Ruyun.
When they arrived at the house, after the four aunts put down their things and said goodbye, Wen said anxiously: "Is the root of your sixth sister's illness found?" β
Gou Ruyun blinked his eyes and said with a light smile: "I don't know if I can find it." It's very special. Yesterday I went back over there and talked to my sisters endlessly, and it was evening, and it was exactly as the legend said..."
After she told her about last night's experience in detail, Zeng pulled her to her side and looked at her back distressedly: "It's hard for you to be so young, you know how to sacrifice yourself to protect your sixth sister." You're such a child who doesn't make people love in vain. Do you have any injuries on your body? β
"It's just a skin injury." Gou Ruyun waved his hand.
Wen was surprised, "Sure enough, people are the most terrifying." It's been so long, everyone thinks that the sixth girl is a ghost, but they didn't expect that they could be prevented when they were beaten! β
Zeng smiled: "It's true, no one has thought of such a simple truth." If it weren't for Yun'er's past trip and sacrificing herself to protect each other, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't have thought of being able to prevent it. β
Wen's eyebrows raised a few times, and he pondered: "Why do I always feel like there is a living person who will make trouble of the six girls when he reaches a certain time?" She's a person, just like us. But when she comes, we can't see it. Could she be invisible? β
Zeng smiled: "It's still like a myth." If it's really stealthy, it's something that can't be prevented. β
Gou Ruyun respectfully blessed and said seriously: "Stepmother." I'm coming back today, mainly to give you a leave. The sixth sister's strange illness must not be eradicated, the stakes are very high, and she wants to go back to her hometown to treat the disease first. She treats me like a biological sister, and Yun'er wants to accompany her to go back, and wants to see my father and mother by the way. β
Wen said reluctantly: "You are gone, who will accompany your stepmother?" Qiaolian: They are all old faces in the house. Only you have been in the house for less than a year, you are small, well-behaved, and you usually don't talk much, and you look at it meekly and meekly. β
Zeng Shi thought for a moment, but said: "I just like Yun'er to be ungrateful, and to repay kindness, there are very few such people in this world." I will grant you leave, go back with your sixth sister, stop by to see your father and mother, and accompany them for a while. If you want to stay longer when you go back, remember to send me letters often. β
"Thank you for your kindness. I have met my sixth sister and stepmother in this life, and I am really fortunate to have three lives. When I go back, I will accompany the sixth sister for a while, see if I can think of the root of her illness together, return to my stepmother in the future, and never leave you again, just serve in front of you wholeheartedly. Gou Ruyun knew that the Zeng family would agree, but she still shed tears of gratitude, knelt down and kowtowed.
"Get up. Don't you have a recipe for incense to tell Qiaolian? Your sixth sister came to the capital to see me, but she was embarrassed to come over due to illness for half a year, and you will leave tomorrow. I told your aunt to invite her and your second cousin over, and you should see your sixth sister before you leave. Zeng's pulled up like a cloud.
"I'm going to ask for them." Wen walked out with a smile.
Qiao Lian smiled and helped Gou Ruyun wipe away her tears: "Miss Ruyun is actually still a child, not yet fifteen years old. β
Zeng smiled, "You guys do things." I'll change my clothes and I'll meet the guests later. β
Qiao Lian took Gou Ruyun and walked out.
More than half an hour later, Wen took Ai's family to Huining Mansion, and just after entering the mansion gate, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind.
Everyone looked back and saw a few tall horses arriving in front of the house with great momentum.
A few people came down immediately, and it was Xia Zhongzheng and Jiang Mingyuan, the brothers, who came with a few male servants.
Wen and Ai hurriedly saluted respectfully, "The courtiers have seen the crown prince. β
Zheng Qianjing was wearing a blue and pearlescent gauze dress and a light purple veil, and while bowing to Yun'er, she looked at Xia Zhongzheng and them with her eyes. She is very familiar with them, and in her past life in the Xing'an Courtyard of Huining Mansion, she did not cook snacks for them by herself.
Xia Zhongzheng saw her for the first time, and guessed who she was at first glance.
"Aunt Wen, cousin of the Zheng family, it should be the juniors who will salute you." Xia Zhongshan replied to them with a smile on his face, turned his head and patted Jiang Mingshuang's head as he spoke, and deliberately looked at Yun'er narrowly.
Yun'er lowered her head and her face flushed.
Ai Shi smiled: "The prince, don't tease a few children." β
After Jiang Mingshuang was complacent at the age of fifteen, he was often taken by his eldest brother, and he had seen a lot of scenes of wind and snow, but he didn't dare to try, and when he met Yun'er, he was so ashamed that his face was flushed.
Jiang Mingshuang politely met the elders, stepped aside, and said politely: "This girl wearing a veil must be the sixth girl of Chengguo Mansion, right?" β
Zheng Qianjing bowed to them generously, "Zheng Qianjing, the sixth girl of Chengguo Mansion, has seen the prince and the prince of the Jiang family, as well as a famous brother. β
Jiang Mingshuang was taken aback, "When we meet for the first time, can you recognize us?" β
Zheng Qianjing chuckled and said, "When I met you at the gate of Huining Mansion, I naturally recognized you." If you meet on the street, I'm afraid you won't recognize it. β
"Hahaha." Xia Zhongzheng looked at her with a smile, although he couldn't see her face, but this exquisite figure, the momentum of his gestures, and this beautiful voice like a lark, made people have to believe her beauty in the legend. It's just that I heard that she has been sick strangely recently, which makes her unsightly, and she is afraid that she will fall into the root of incurability, so she can't help but feel sorry in her heart, and said gently: "I heard that the sixth girl is sick." This diseaseβ"
Zheng Qianjing said: "I have already bumped into this incident, even if I am disfigured, it is the fate of the courtier's daughter, and I can't complain about the sky and anyone." β
She originally exuded a natural noble arrogance, but she was so gentle and reasonable in front of the crown prince. Xia Zhongzheng regretted that such a wonderful person was ruined by a strange illness, and sympathized: "My mother appreciates you very much." I heard that you are ambiguous. I'm sure you'll find a cure for yourself. β
"Prince Xie cares."
"If you have something to say, see the sun above you is getting stronger and stronger."
Wen interrupted everyone at this point.
"It's okay for you. I just came to see Zhikang, he was drunk again last night. Xia Zhongzheng frowned slightly, his face full of worry.
Wen was used to meeting the prince often, so he nodded and led the people from Chengguo Mansion to go inside first.
Xia Zhongzheng slowly followed behind, his eyes kept staring at Zheng Qianjing's moving figure, and there was a faint fragrance faintly wafting between his noses.
When the front walked away, Jiang Mingyuan whispered: "These six girls really have an unusual temperament, if they are not sick, show their faces, let us see how good it is." β
Xia Zhongzheng tapped one hand on his lips, it was indeed a pity.
Jiang Mingshuang's eyes kept looking at Yun'er, and her head was full of her round face and round eyes.
As soon as Ai Shi and the others passed through the peony forest, Xia Zhikang and Xia Zhilin happened to come out of Jinglan Courtyard, looked at them, and stopped.
There is a faint and refreshing fragrance in the air, which makes people feel refreshed from the heat.
"Yo. The one in the blue gauze must be the sixth girl. I heard that I would go back to my hometown tomorrow, so Mrs. Ji'an asked Mrs. Ji'an to invite them over for dinner. Xia Zhilin whispered.
Xia Zhikang likes this smell very much, he doesn't know what this fragrance is called, but he seems to have encountered the first and only flower fragrance in his life that he can like to his bones as soon as he smells it.
He looked at the back of the six girls gloomily for a while, and admitted in his heart that there was only one girl who could compare with Rong'er in this world, but her illness was too strange.
Xia Zhongzheng came over a few times.
Xia Zhikang hurriedly saluted.
Xia Zhongzheng pressed his arm against his chest and teased: "If these six girls are not sick, let my father come forward and promise her to you, can she compare to those vulgar girls you hate?" β
Xia Zhikang glared at him with a blue face.
At this moment, Gou Ruyun and Qiu Tong in front of them came to greet the people of Chengguo Mansion, and when they saw a few men on the edge of the peony forest, they were slightly stunned, and they didn't come to say hello, but just held the six girls and said affectionately: "My stepmother is looking forward to you." β
Zheng Qianjing noticed that there was someone behind her, looked back, and saw Xia Zhongzheng in a blue and black silk dress from a distance, between the tall Xia Zhongzheng and the majestic Jiang Mingyuan, she looked a little sluggish, and she was very shocked in her heart, she couldn't imagine that Xia Zhikang's infatuation with Rong'er was so deep, if she hadn't seen it in person, she wouldn't dare to believe it too much, who was Xia Zhikang? If he is really a person who can devote himself to the end, he is afraid that he will not have the slightest chance to kill Ying Rong'er in his previous life. Men are all very lustful in the end, first lustful and then affectionate, and when lust is defeated, love gradually changes.
This life is the first time to see the man who made me crazy in my previous life, and now I see it, I am bored with Xia Zhikang, a man who has no interest, fortunately, I don't have to be Gou Ruyun in this life, Gou Ruyun and Xia Zhikang are a couple.
Turning his head, he lowered his head and chuckled, feeling a kind of relief in his heart, he was luckier to be Zheng Qianjing in this life.
Wen Shi saw it in his eyes, and his heart moved, isn't it that the sixth girl is a little interesting to Zhikang? Looking back at his nephew, the image in front of him is very depressed, but the prince of Huining Mansion, in this world, except for the prince, who else can compare?
"You. After you go back this time, you have to find a way to cure the root of the disease and restore your stunning beauty. Wen said intimately to the six girls.
Yun'er said: "My sixth sister will definitely be able to regain her beauty." β
Zheng Qianjing chuckled, although she was arrogant, she still had some scruples in front of the Wen family.
Entered the Heung'an Temple.
Zeng Shi was already looking at the house from afar, although these six girls were inconvenient to see people, but there were too few strange women like her in this world, half of them were curious, and half of them had a great impression of her because of the drugs sent by the six girls.
"These six girls are really extraordinary, their figures, gaits, and temperament are really first-class people." Qiaoxin whispered from the side.
"yes." Zeng sighed lightly.
"She knows the art of medicine. Maybe it will be cured in the future. Qiao Lian said.
Wen and the others arrived in front of them, not waiting for Wen's introduction. The sixth girl had already bowed generously to the Zeng family first, "The courtier has seen Mrs. Huining. β
"Just call me aunt."
Zheng Qianjing was born with a luxurious temperament, exhaling like an orchid, just when she saw her for the first time, Zeng's liked it very much, and secretly compared her with Ruyun, the birth of Ruyun was worse, and Zheng Qianjing's comparison was a little worse than her natural magnificence and nobility.
Wen smiled implicitly, she had already calculated, if it weren't for the six girls' unsightly faces, she guaranteed that Zeng would agree to marry Chengguo Mansion as soon as she saw her.
"Come inside and sit and have tea."
Tsang's gait gracefully advanced into the house.
This is Mrs. Huining. Only the first time I saw it, Zheng Qianjing had an inexplicable sense of excitement, Mrs. Huining was in her early forties, and she still retained the eyes and demeanor of a Houmen girl, she really lived up to her reputation, and secretly glanced at the second aunt, in the entire capital, in addition to the queen and the imperial concubine, is there anyone who can compare to her? Unexpectedly, Xia Zhikang's mother was such a rare lady. Thinking about Xia Zhikang's bear-like appearance again, he sighed secretly, maybe if it wasn't for his infatuation with Ying Rong'er, he wouldn't have come to such a field. All around is the once familiar environment, from the moment he entered the Huining Mansion, all kinds of ear and sideburn battles with Xia Zhikang in the past constantly surfaced in his mind.
It was Ying Rong'er who made him like that. She was a little angry and a little depressed.
If the Huining Mansion and the Chengguo Mansion marry, what kind of situation should it be? It's just that Ying Rong'er is dead, and she can't see these spectacular things at all, how much does this mean to herself?
"You smell so good." Zeng was a little fascinated by Zheng Qianjing, pulled her to sit on the couch by himself, and asked curiously.
Zheng Qianjing said: "It's not unusual, it's the sesame oil prepared by dendrobium and some traditional Chinese medicine, which can be used to deodorize in summer and clear the heat." If my aunt likes it, I still have two bottles in my house, and I will ask someone to bring them to you when I get back. β
"You're one of the few wonderful people in the world." Zeng Shi was completely attracted to her, gently patted her white hand, raised it to take a look, and praised it, "There is a person in this world who looks so beautiful as you, look at this hand, there is no second you in this world." β
"Aunt Xie carries love."
"Hey. You're going back tomorrow. It's that I'm not good, I've been afraid that you're not getting better, and I want to wait for you to get better and then invite you to come over. Now that I see you, I really regret it. If you will stay for two more days, I will have a letter to the Empress. β
"Thank you, aunt, for your kindness. Jing'er has already arranged to go back to her hometown tomorrow. β
"Hey. Also. When you are cured, you will come to the capital again, and I will take you all over the capital. β
"Thank you, aunt, for your kindness."
"Don't be too polite. I don't have a daughter myself, but I like Yun'er very much when I see you, and I like you very much when I see you today. If your grandmother had been willing, I would have taken you as a daughter. β
"Jing'er has to tell her grandmother first."
"Yes. The daughter of the Chengguo family has no casual recognition of her father-in-law and mother-in-law. β
Zeng's look at Ruyun, born differently, for such a thing as recognizing a righteous father and mother, the six girls will not rashly agree in order to please Huining Mansion, not like Gou Ruyun was born low, Huining Mansion is her blessing to be the master for her, although Huining Mansion is more powerful than Chengguofu, but she did not casually do the matter of being the daughter of the Chengguo Mansion as a righteous daughter.
Wen smiled, "Six girls." You see that your aunt likes you so much, why don't you stay with the five girls at night and stay overnight, so that your aunt loves you. β
"This Jing'er will definitely agree."
Everyone laughed.
Zheng Qianjing is worthy of being the daughter of Chengguofu, and she and Mrs. Huining answered one by one, both decent and witty.
"Then you go back and tell your grandmother well, saying that you have many daughters in Chengguofu, and I have no daughters except for one son, and I like daughters very much." Zeng liked her more and more, and when he looked at Ruyun, he was afraid that she would be jealous, so he pulled her over with the other hand, "If your grandmother sympathizes with me, I will have the best daughters in the world in the future." β
"Jing'er will do her best."
Everyone laughed together again.
Ai Shi was happy and sad in his heart, if only the sixth girl's illness could be broken.
