Chapter 167: The Old Servant
Yanyun came to the guest room to see Zhong Yazhi, and when she entered the door, she saw her lying on the bed with a white and weak appearance, and Lianzhu secretly shed tears by the bed, but their master and servant found that it was Zhong's dowry Yanyun, and they immediately relaxed a lot, and the original pitiful appearance was also weakened a little.
Yanyun saw Zhong Yazhi in courtesy, her eyes staring at the eldest lady of the Zhong family, her nails clasped her palms tightly, and only then did she hide the resentment that erupted in her heart at that moment. and the mercy bead next to her, who is also her enemy!
In order to send Zhong Yazhi to the six princes as a concubine, the Zhong family did not hesitate to rebel against the party and cause trouble, which was the only way to kill later. And at the beginning, her younger brother obviously said that he would go to the study of Zhong Yazhuo, the son of the Zhong family, to be a little maid waiting for pen and ink, but because Lianzhu wanted her brother to grab this position, she said that Zhong Yazhi would open her mouth to the family, and her brother would be transferred to Master Zhong's study instead, and he lost his life for no reason. If it weren't for the troubles of this pair of master and servant, her brother would still be alive and well, and her parents and family would not be in danger of being sold. Thanks to her in the past, she was so close and attentive to Zhong Yazhi, and she wanted the other party to be the new housemother of Princess Guangping, and she also helped persuade the princess whenever the Zhong family had something, and this is how the Zhong family repaid her!
When Zhong Yazhi saw Yanyun, he felt that he had something to rely on in this huge palace, and he also had a helper for his plan, and his heart suddenly settled down a lot: "Sister Yanyun! When she shouted this, she couldn't help but have red eyes.
She didn't know what Yanyun's family had gone through, she was the pearl of the Zhong family. Even if she learned some housekeeping on weekdays, she only listened to her mother's face-to-face teaching, and did not participate in the household chores - her family expected her to fly on the branches. What she wants to learn, how can it be the same as the middle-feed affairs in the door of ordinary eunuchs' houses? So she didn't pay attention to the kinship between the slaves in the family at all. Seeing Yanyun, she will only remember in her heart that this is the dowry girl of her princess and aunt, and she is also from the Zhong family, she has been very close to her since she was a child, and she is half of her own person who can be trusted.
Rejoo knew better than she did. She knew that Yanyun's younger brother had been killed, and she also knew that he had suffered this disaster because he was on an errand in the eldest master's study. If Yanyun's younger brother had entered the uncle's study to do things. will not die aside, all because she feels that following the uncle is more promising than following the eldest master, and she is dedicated to grabbing this errand for her brother. Only then did Yanyun's younger brother die tragically. Even his parents and family were sold, and I heard that they were sold to Yanjing in Sichuan, and they will never come back in this life.
However, when she knew it, she saw that Yanyun's attitude was no different from the past, so she guessed that she didn't actually know. Originally, it was not easy for the girl who married out with Mrs. Gu to meet her family, since King Guangping retired from the throne. The control of family members is stricter, and family members are not allowed to go out. Yanyun's family is not literate, there is no way to communicate, she wants to see her relatives, in addition to the New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival, the only time in a year is when she goes to the Zhong family to send things to the princess. In the first month of this year, Yanyun has already met his family once, and then Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong angered the princess, and the princess never sent anyone back to her parents' house, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is far from coming, and Yanyun probably doesn't know that his brother died and his family was sold. Lian Zhu felt that it was better to hide it from her first, and when the big thing was done, even if Yanyun knew the truth and resented the old master, it would not be in the way.
She took the initiative to step forward and hold Yanyun's hand, crying: "It's great that my sister can come, our girl ......" and didn't say what the girl was, so she choked and lowered her head to cry.
Yanyun held back the anger in his heart, and still had a kind smile on his face: "What's wrong?" I heard the doctor say that my cousin hasn't eaten for a few days, how can this work? In order not to worry the old lady, the eldest lord and the eldest lady, and not to worry our princess, the cousin should also eat a little bit of food, and it is not in line with filial piety to not eat rice. ”
Zhong Yazhi listened, feeling a little strange in her heart, is Yanyun saying that she is not filial? But looking at the undisguised concern on Yanyun's face, she felt that she was too careful, a girl, how could she have such thoughts? She choked up and said to Yanyun, "I didn't know that this would worry the elders? But I really ......feel bitter in my heart, "I told her fear of marrying the imprisoned Marquis of Shanyin, as well as her anger at Mrs. Zhong's behavior of falling into the well, and finally cried: "It's not that I am greedy for vanity and dislike the Marquis of Shanyin, when the marriage was first agreed, he was still a golden branch and jade leaf, and his status was precious, I was already unwilling, and now I have the same idea." Whether you enter the palace or the mansion, it is difficult to see your parents and family again. My grandmother is old, my parents have always loved me, I can't repay their kindness even if I die, even if I get married, I have to go back to visit from time to time, if there is no hope of Cheng Huan in this life, I would rather never marry! ”
Yanyun sneered in his heart, but said comforting words: "Things may not come to this point, the new emperor may have grace in the future, and when the time comes, the cousin will go back to her parents' house to save her relatives, which is just a matter of words." ”
Lian Zhu said with tears: "My sister is the right-hand man next to the princess, and her knowledge is comparable to that of ordinary people, how can she say such coaxing words?" Everyone knows that if our girl marries the Marquis of Sanyin, this life will be ruined! The old lady, the eldest lady and the eldest lady are worried about this matter every day, and the second lady wants to add to the chaos, and the old lady is so angry that she faints because of this matter. ”
Yanyun said: "The Zhong family came just now, and the princess also heard about it, and she was very worried. It happened that the second wife sent the 500-year-old ginseng she married to the princess to make up for the princess, and the princess ordered someone to send it back to the Zhong family to give it to the old lady as it was. The princess also said that she was afraid that the family would be busy with the old lady's affairs and would not have time to pick up the cousin, so she would let her take the cousin back in a car. Cousin, look, our princess is still very concerned about her parents' relatives, can she still harm you? You just have to go back and wait for news, there is a princess for everything. ”
Zhong Yazhi immediately panicked, if she was sent home, wouldn't she cry in vain today? The hardships of the past few days have been in vain, and he blurted out for a while: "I won't go back!" The words came out. She felt speechless and hurriedly remedied: "I am still dizzy and can't get out of bed." I'm afraid I won't be able to stay at home. Lianzhu also nodded desperately on the side.
Yanyun was unmoved: "Don't worry, cousin, I have already asked the doctor, cousin is hungry and weak, before I came, I have asked the kitchen to make rice soup for cousin, and after a while, cousin girl drank a bowl and had strength." Naturally, you will be able to survive at home. The old lady fainted because she was worried about her cousin, didn't she want to go back to serve the sick? ”
Zhong Yazhi once again felt the hostility in Yanyun's words and looked at her seriously. I was in doubt. Lianzhu didn't notice it, but said in a panic: "The girl can't eat it, she wants to vomit when she smells the smell of rice soup, if she can eat it." I won't be hungry like this! ”
"Can't eat rice soup?" Smoke Cloud was still smiling. "Then ask someone to make the cousin's favorite soup, whatever it is, as long as it is light, and the cousin will drink it." Do you want to call a doctor to give your cousin a few stitches? ”
Zhong Yazhi and Lianzhu both looked embarrassed, could it be that they really wanted to go home without doing anything?
Zhong Yazhi looked at Yanyun and bit her lip: "Sister Yanyun." You...... Am I offending you in something? ”
Yanyun looked at her, and suddenly turned around and sent the two mothers-in-law who came with her: "Go to the kitchen and urge the rice soup made for the cousin." Go to the front yard and ask, can the Zhong family go? When the mother-in-law left, and only the three of them were left in the room, she approached Zhong Yazhi's bedside, sat down and said lightly: "What does the cousin want to do if she has to stay in the palace?" If you don't tell me the truth, how can I help you? If my cousin even wants to hide it from me, it can be seen that she treats me as an outsider? ”
When Zhong Yazhi heard her say this, she thought that she was just angry that she was hiding it, and her heart settled down a little: "How come?" I have often come to the palace to play since I was a child, which time has my sister taken care of me? My sister has always been very grateful for my affection for me, and if there is really something, I will not hide it from anyone, and I will not hide it from my sister. ”
Yanyun glanced at her: "In that case, why doesn't the cousin refuse to get straight to the point?" It's not that I said, the cousin only brought mercy beads, and what the master and servant wanted to do in this palace was not as easy as before. Now he is the steward of the prince, much stricter than when the princess was the housekeeper of the first princess, and the prince does not like the princess's dowry room, and many of the stewards have changed. No matter what the purpose of the cousin girl is, without a helper, it will not be possible. ”
Zhong Yazhi lowered his head and didn't speak, rubbing the handkerchief in his hand, with a little blush on his face, he wanted to open his mouth, but he was embarrassed, so he could only give Lianzhu a look. Lian Zhu knew the opportunity, so she spoke for her: "Since Sister Yanyun asked, I am not afraid to tell you the truth." Before going to the house this time, the eldest lady instructed us girls to think of a way no matter what, so that the princess or the prince could come forward and annul the marriage pointed out by the palace. Our girl is a very good talent, and she was already wronged by the fact that she was promised to be a side room for the six princes, but now that he has become a prisoner of the ranks, how can we let our girl marry him again? How can the girl also be the princess's own niece, the princess has loved her since she was a child, how can she watch the girl jump into the fire pit? ”
Yanyun smiled: "The princess really can't manage this matter, and she can't manage it." To tell the truth, in order to protect the Zhong family, the princess had already worked hard to keep the Zhong family safe. If the cousin girl becomes the Marquis of Shanyin, she is the royal daughter-in-law, and the Zhong family will naturally be more safe and sound in the future. But if the will is violated, not only will the Zhong family be in trouble, but even the princess will be complained. Her eyes rolled: "Besides, if the cousin girl just wants to get rid of this marriage, it is not difficult." ”
Zhong Yazhi immediately sat up from the bed, how could he be a little sick? Lian Zhu also looked at Yanyun with wide eyes: "What good way does my sister have?!" ”
Yanyun smiled: "Didn't the cousin just say that if you can't be happy under your parents' knees, you'd rather never marry?" He simply cut his hair and became a sister-in-law, built a family nunnery at home, chanted scriptures and worshiped Buddha, and could still see the old lady, the old man and the big lady every day. It is impossible for the emperor and the crown prince to marry a monk to the Marquis of Shanyin. ”
Zhong Yazhi's face fell, and he fell down again: "Sister is really good at laughing." Isn't that a clear telling people, I don't want to marry the Marquis of Sanyin? "Maybe it will make the emperor angry and offend the Zhong family again.
Isn't that what she meant? Yanyun smiled, and did not pierce Zhong Yazhi: "If you are worried about the blame in the palace, then the girl will simply let the family report that you are seriously ill and will not get better." It is even more impossible for the emperor and the crown prince to ask the Marquis of Shanyin to marry a sick person. ”
Zhong Yazhi thought to herself that if she really did this, she was afraid that she would not be able to have a good family in the future, so she lowered her head and did not speak.
Lianzhu blurted out: "Why do you have to trouble like this? As long as the prince is engaged to our girl, won't the matter be over? ”
Yanyun raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "It turns out ...... Is this the idea of my cousin? She sneered: "Why is this coming? Originally, there was no need to do anything, there was a good family affair that came naturally, kissing and kissing, and the cousin would also be the princess in the future. Why bother to toss, I'd rather be small than marry into the palace, now that I have fulfilled my wish, the side room has become the main room, which is more noble, and the cousin girl has to dislike it. What does the Zhong family want? What is it about our world that is inferior to others? Do you want to pick and choose for your cousin? Or does my cousin think that our son can't marry anyone else except you?! ”
Face! True! Big! (To be continued......)
