302: Favors
If you say Aunt Di of Junlan Courtyard...... That is not comparable to ordinary women's families, and many people even secretly call him Mr. Kong among women!
When it comes to Aunt Di, the story is long.
Aunt Di's original name was Di Junlan, if the Di family goes back to a hundred years ago, it was also a powerful scholar gatekeeper, but the incompetence of several successive family heads, coupled with the rapid change of the situation in the world, and then stood on the wrong side in the battle between the kings, it was inevitable that it would gradually be replaced by the dynasty. By the time Di Junlan and Lu were in decline, it was already in decline, but this did not prevent the world from knowing that the Di family had produced a talented woman who was rare in a century.
Di Junlan was already famous in the capital when she was thirteen years old, not only did she have the talent of Li Du, who could not be asked for by men, but she also had a look of alluring the country and the city, and she was really talented and beautiful, and there was no place in her body that caused the envy and hatred of countless women.
However, the most worth mentioning is that this woman was also born with a strong temperament that does not let the eyebrows be shaved, not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also familiar with the art of war, and since she was a child, she is different from other warrior women, she actually loves the way of martial arts, and her father probably saw that the decline of the family has been decided, so he simply broke the jar and broke it, and did not hold on to the only daughter, and thought that Xi Yiwu at least married in the future, no one dared to bully lightly, so he met Di Junlan's requirements very much.
In the year of Di Junlan and Lu, she married Yin Shiming, who was only a prince at the time and was ten years older than her.
And this marriage, which was not favored at the time, was her own idea.
Yin Shiming was just a little-known marquis in the troubled times at that time, and he was nothing compared to the rest of the major forces. But he has an ambition that is bigger than the sky.
As the saying goes, marry a chicken and marry a dog with a dog, not to mention that Di Junlan is not an ordinary woman who can be satisfied with raising flowers and grass in the house, after marrying Yin Shiming, giving advice, and even fighting on the battlefield have become commonplace, and he dares to be the first in terms of whimsy.
Even when she won over the Jin family, it was all her own credit.
In the third year of marrying Yin Shiming, Di Junlan, who had been recuperating for a long time, became pregnant.
The fetus was stable until August, but Yin Shiming, who was besieged by the enemy due to an accident to save him, was splashed with blood on the spot.
Yin Shiming was rescued. The fetus was not born.
and diagnosed. Di Junlan is no longer qualified to be a mother from now on.
Five years later, Yin Shiming ascended the throne as emperor, and the first prince was born, named Yin Ziyu. His mother is Yin Yuanmin, the daughter of the most powerful king of Pingnan.
A month later. Yin Yuanmin was made queen.
Another month passed. It was reported that Di Junlan left a 'letter of closure' and left the palace alone.
It stands to reason that Di Junlan, who was only named a concubine, is not qualified to talk about the word "merger and separation". But none of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty dared to refute this matter.
Who is Yin Shiming's real husband and wife, and who is the one who brought down most of the country of Fengguo, in fact, no one needs to remind him, everyone in the world knows it.
This fact proves that Di's father's idea that his daughter would not be bullied if she married someone after learning martial arts was too naïve.
After Di Junlan left the palace, she did not return to the Di family, nor did she remarry, but only founded a Junlan Courtyard for women to study and learn etiquette, and created the first women's school in the country of Feng, which was relied on.
About fifteen or sixteen years later, the sad news of the emperor's death came from the palace.
It is said that before his death, Yin Shiming ordered someone to carry a sedan chair to Junlan Courtyard, wanting to ask Di Junlan for forgiveness, but until he died, Di Junlan did not want to see him again.
It's just that since the day she entered the imperial mausoleum, Aunt Di has gradually handed over everything in the Junlan Courtyard to her henchmen brought out of the palace, and she has slowly faded out of the public eye.
Aunt Di, who has not appeared in front of people for 20 years, has made an exception today, and everyone is not surprised!
And the two women behind Aunt Di, one on the left and one on the right, are not ordinary people.
One is Ruan Shi, the wife of Zhong Lin Miao, the great priest of the country, and the other is Ouyang Yu, a talented woman who teaches calligraphy in Junlan Courtyard and has her own style of penmanship - Ouyang Yu is the youngest of the three, and is known for her arrogance, she is twenty-eight this year, and she married Gao Feng, the prime minister of the dynasty, at the beginning of last year. And after getting married, he ignored the trivial matters of the back house, and still worked as a female gentleman in Junlan Courtyard.
As soon as Ouyang Yu stepped into the hall, his eyes fell on Jiang Ying, glanced at it, and said expressionlessly: "It's a well-behaved and cute birth, and it's not too much of a loss to follow Aunt Di's hurry to make this trip." ”
Such a straightforward temperament made Jiang Ying stunned.
Forgive her for being lonely and unaware of these three ladies of different ages. Although I feel that my bearing is extraordinary, my eyes are very raw.
"Come, girl, introduce you to ......" Kong Fu said with a pleasant smile, "This is Mrs. Di, this is Mrs. Zhong, and this is Mrs. Gao...... They all came here to help you.
It's also thanks to Jiang Ying who is lonely enough to salute the three of them very calmly.
also calmly accepted the addition of the three people.
"You're a rare doll."
After the ceremony was completed, Aunt Di said to Kong Fu before leaving.
"It's okay...... Mr. Kong is more 'modest', but it is difficult to hide his color.
Aunt Di frowned slightly and glanced at him, and asked as she walked out, "Didn't Dean come out with you today?" ”
"I seemed to have a cold yesterday, and I was afraid that the wind would aggravate my condition when I went out, so I stayed in the museum to rest." Confer replied with a smile.
Aunt Di frowned again, and after a while, she said with a solemn face: "People are old like this, and they are still as strong as they are young?" I don't even know how to pay attention to my body bones. ”
"yes......" Comover just smiled and nodded.
"You're even more so, why are you greedy when you're old?" Aunt Di's brows furrowed even deeper, and she looked at the pot-bellied Kong Fu with disgust.
"Uh...... Ahem! Mr. Kong coughed dryly, then touched his round belly, and sighed with a shy face, but he did not have the consciousness of 'reforming', so he said helplessly: "No way, there is no one next to my granddaughter." But he has a good craft, and he can't live up to the waste......"
"You took in a granddaughter just to cook for you?"
"You can't say that......" Cornford laughed.
……
After Jiang Ying and Liang Wenqing followed Zhuang's to clean up the house, they returned to Yushu Hutong.
As soon as the front foot unlocked and walked into the yard, the back foot saw Song Chunfeng, who had just finished the things in the medicine store, rushed back in a hurry.
"What's going on at the ceremony today, why are you talking about Sakura outside?"
As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Song Chunfeng couldn't wait to ask.
“…… Don't mention it. Zhuang, who was about to go to the kitchen to cook, got angry when he talked about this, and said angrily: "There is a shrew who doesn't know what kind of crazy disease she has come to make a scene!" But now that she has been taken to the government to ask for guilt, with your Uncle Liang here, she can't make any moths! A few months of prison food is settled! ”
"Huh?" Song Chunfeng was very surprised when he heard this, and expressed his indignation. After comforting Jiang Ying again. But he said, "But that's not what I've heard outside—"
"And what did you hear?"
"I didn't hear it too clearly, it seems to mean that many ladies have come to add to Ah Ying-" Song Chunfeng looked puzzled, because he really didn't know how this kind of thing could be spread so hotly.
Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.
It was also at this time. She suddenly realized. Tse attended her ceremony. It would have had such an impact -- so big that it overshadowed the fact that she had been in a big trouble with her courtesy.
“…… I knew it! Hearing this, Zhuang immediately became excited, patted his chest with a happy face, and let out a long sigh of relief. said: "With so many well-known ladies coming to cheer, it is sure that the shrew's troubles will be suppressed...... Thank God, we have to thank Mrs. Jin this time! That's a big help! ”
Jiang Ying nodded with a stunned expression.
Anyway, judging from the situation in front of her, Xie Shi did help her out of the siege.
Although she was not very good at braining, she did not expect this result at the time.
But the truth is that Xie helped her once.
Thinking that she suddenly owed such a favor to the Xie family, Jiang Ying suddenly felt complicated.
…… It's better to be messed up like that.
A good little girl suddenly withered, all thinking negatively, and sighed secretly.
Isn't this a typical cut and mess?
……
Jiang Ying spent a whole afternoon in this kind of situation, so she simply closed the door and ran to the space vegetable garden to tease Bai Xiao to relieve her boredom.
Around the time of Shen, Liang Ping came back from the county office.
"The matter is simple and clear, she didn't say anything quibbling herself, in fact, she had already dealt with it......" As soon as Liang Ping entered the door, he smiled and said to the Zhuang family waiting in the hall: "It's all because Ji Zhixian pulled me to stay for dinner at noon, and refused to let me go no matter how I refused, so it was delayed until ......now" At the end, he didn't forget to say with a flattering face: "If you want me to say, the cook in his house is really too bad for your craftsmanship!"
Liang Ping's face was full of red, obviously eating wine.
Zhuang Shi came up and frowned and said, "It's just a meal, why are you still drinking?" Don't you know what kind of virtue you have after you have eaten and drunk? Fortunately, I didn't show up in front of Master Ji! ”
Liang Ping smiled and claimed that he was, and said that he was a measured person, even if he was drunk, he had always been very picky.
"Don't talk about what you have!" Zhuang stuffed a cup of warm tea over, watched Liang Ping eat it and asked, "What did the crazy woman say in court?" Why did she come to Sister Sakura's ceremony to make trouble? ”
Liang Ping shook his head, "I just said that I couldn't get used to Sister Sakura's rules and behaviors, and when I was adding a flute, I took a peach pit hand to skewer Sister Sakura's face, which was also a temporary idea." As for humiliating Sister Sakura in front of everyone later, she said that it was because Wen Qing took the lead in making disrespectful remarks, and she was angry, so she shook out the rumors that Sister Sakura had harmed Jiang Shipin from others before——"
"Can't get used to Sister Sakura's rules and behavior? There are so many ladies present, just count her alone, and her eyes are good? Bah, she doesn't look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue she is-" Speaking of this, Zhuang frowned fiercely, and suddenly changed his tone and guessed: "Could it be really crazy?" ”
Liang Ping sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "She lives at the back of our yard, in the small courtyard on the river bank in the westernmost part of Yushu Hutong, or did you invite her to come to watch the ceremony, can't you see if she is crazy or not?"
Zhuang choked and said, "What do you mean by that?" The neighbors in Yushu Hutong I visited as a family, and they all said that the more female guests at my daughter's house, the better. If I had expected such a bad incident, I would not have dared to invite these half-baked people to watch the ceremony again if I had given me a hundred guts, and now you would be better to say these remorseful words to poke my heart......?"
Liang Ping saw that she was aggrieved and depressed, and couldn't help but smile and sigh, and reminded helplessly: "I remember that it happened to rain outside on the day you went out to send posts, and when you came back, didn't you say that the road was too slippery and didn't go to the west riverbank?"
On that day, it was raining and the road was slippery, and secondly, because of the perennial humidity on the bank of the West River, several houses were empty almost all the year round, and there were no residents.
Zhuang was stunned when he heard this, and after saying "ah", he slapped his head and suddenly said, "That's right!" I didn't have much left of the post that day, and I thought that there weren't many families living in the future...... Seeing that it was raining heavily, I simply came back directly! I don't ...... at all I never sent her a post! ”
"Remember?"
"Hmm...... That's not right! Since I didn't invite her, she took the initiative to come and watch the ceremony...... When he was adding a flute, he fell on Sister Sakura's face like that, didn't he make it clear that he was eyeing Sister Sakura early in the morning! What else do you say about temporary intentions, it is clearly a cover-up! Zhuang woke up in shock - this was a premeditated case of smashing the field!
"Then you didn't say it in court?" Zhuang asked Liang Ping again.
"I don't have proof." Liang Ping's answer is a matter of course.
Zhuang reprimanded speechlessly: "Then you...... Let's find out what's going on! ”
"Don't worry, we don't have to worry about it." Liang Ping said with a soothing smile: "There must be someone who is more concerned than us, this time I may have checked it clearly." ”
……
At the beginning of the day, the sky outside has become a light ink color, and if there is about half a cup of tea, the heaven and the earth will be shrouded in a heavy night.
Jiang Ying's room is lit with bright gauze lights, and the orange and yellow lights are reflected on the carved windows covered with bamboo strips and paper, which looks warm.
The man's long figure silently broke into the silent courtyard.
Coming to the door unhurriedly, the man reached out and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in—" Jiang Ying's voice came from inside the room, sounding a little slurred.
The man pushed the door open and entered.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the two people inside and outside the room looked at each other, but they were all stunned.
