Chapter 232~233
Jiang Wei was a well-known "Hedong Lion" when she was not out of the cabinet, and after following Huo Nineteen, she had a domineering husband, and her temper could still be good? Cui's family and his entourage treated each other carefully and politely along the way, just for fear of asking Jiang Yu to catch something wrong and then make a mistake, they were afraid of traitorous ministers, even Lord Du was very tired every day as an official, and it was possible to lose the black yarn if he stood in the wrong team a little, and losing the official was still a trivial matter, and even his family would be tired if he was not careful.
Now that the court is already in chaos, the emperor is young, and the traitorous ministers are in charge, where is there a place to reason? I can only be very careful.
I don't want to, but I still got into trouble with this evil star's wife.
"What did Mrs. Jinning Hou say?" Cui Shi smiled all over his face and said, "I heard that Mrs. Jinninghou likes to joke with people very much, but I really saw it today." ”
When the words fell, the mothers and daughters-in-law on both sides smiled together.
They laughed dryly, but Jiang Yan's expression remained unchanged, and she turned around and walked directly to the main house.
The smiles of Cui Shi and everyone froze on their faces, and they hurriedly chased after them to explain: "Sister Kite is a little bit of a problem, she just went out, ...... you"
"Aren't you sick and recuperating? Get out? Where did it go? ”
When I entered the house, I found that the public stove in the house was empty, not to mention charcoal fire, not even charcoal ash. The bedding on the bed was also neatly folded, a silk lamp was placed on the table, no candles were placed in the yarn, and there was a faint amount of dust on the white porcelain teapot and tea bowl in the tea tray in the table of the Eight Immortals.
Jiang Yu only glanced at it, and there was a vague number in her heart, and she sat down in the first place, and said, "I can also be regarded as having enjoyed great glory and wealth." No matter how clean the ground is, I haven't seen anything so clean. People just 'get out and have something to do'. The charcoal basin was no longer burning on a snowy day, the house was dried into an ice cellar, and the cups on the tea tray were dusty. The index finger slid across the table and showed the dust on his fingertips to Cui: "Look, it's also gray here." The white fox fur and gown on my body were all given to me by my lord, how good is it if it is dirty. ”
Cui's nervous face turned pale, Rao is the strongest "overlord" on weekdays, and he has lost the confidence to speak in the face of absolute power. What's more, this matter was deceived by her first.
Ye Angel had already seen some clues, thinking of a gentle and generous person like Du Mingyuan, at this time I didn't know what it would be like to be abused by this old pious woman, I thought that her parents were dead and it was hard enough to live under the fence, but it turned out that an inhuman stepmother was even more miserable. She hated so much that the roots of her teeth itched, and Shui Ling's big eyes were full of resentment and glared at Cui's, and she couldn't go up and bite off a piece of her meat.
Cui's cuffs wiped sweat, and finally found a voice, "Madame misunderstood...... Your outfit is extremely precious, and the concubine will give you a new indemnity when you turn around. ”
Jiang Wei waved her hand in annoyance: "I'm not half a star behind you." The kite is unharmed. It's easy to say. If she is half wrong, you can wait for a pot of drink with Master Du. ”
Cui's body shook. If it weren't for the support of the old mothers on both sides, he would have fallen to the ground long ago.
Du Mingkite's father didn't know. If a man's career is affected because she has thoughts about the daughter in front of her, she is afraid that she will not be able to turn over for the rest of her life.
When he was scratching his heart and liver, and wanted to order someone to go out and urge again, there was a sound of footsteps outside to the porch, and when he lifted the door curtain, he saw Du Mingyuan, who was wearing a cyan cotton gown, rubbing his hands and lowering his head, and entered the door. Du Mingkite's original round and jade figure no longer exists, but now she is much thinner, but her face is becoming more and more beautiful.
When she came in the door, she didn't have time to look at the people on the main seat, so she first saluted the Cui family in front of the door, "Mother." ”
Cui Shi secretly scolded Du Ming in his heart for having too many ghost ideas, obviously it was the one above who was more important, she didn't forget to put one for her when she entered the door, for fear that people wouldn't see her fear of her?
"Mrs. Jinninghou is here, Sister Kite ......" wants to instruct, but I don't know how to instruct.
"Kites." Jiang Yu had already stood up and approached side by side with Ye Angel.
Du Mingyuan raised his eyes at this time, and as soon as he saw Jiang Yan, who was extremely powerful, tears immediately welled up, and he stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and grabbed Jiang Yan's hand: "Girl!" You're back! That's great! ”
It seems that Du Mingyuan didn't know that she had returned to Kyoto. This is strange, she has done everything to burn her mother's house outside, presumably everyone in the capital knows about it, why doesn't Du Mingyuan know? Her bedroom has been uninhabited for a long time, she is still wearing thin single clothes, and she has lost so much weight......
Jiang Yu untied the white fox cloak and put it on for Du Mingkite without refusal.
A burst of warmth enveloped her, Du Mingyuan shivered, her heart was warm, but her tears couldn't be stopped, "Girl, it's good for you to come back." We'll be able to see each other more often in the future. ”
Cui Shi laughed and said: "How can this make this fox fur a gift from Jinninghou to his wife, how can I feel that Sister Kite is ruined." ”
Jiang Wei raised her eyebrows: "My things, who am I willing to give is my freedom, why, Mrs. Du's family doesn't understand, and her hands are stretched out to my Huo family?" ”
"Oh, what did Madame say. Where do you dare to be a concubine. Cui Shi saw sweat on his forehead.
Jiang Yu was much softer in the face of Du Mingyuan: "Iris, haven't you been in the mansion recently?" Where do you live now? Why did you wear so thinly and pay off so much? ”
"I ......" Du Mingyuan glanced at Cui Shi quickly, biting his lip and lowering his eyes.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "If you don't sue me, you won't treat me as a sister." I've been sick for the past two days since I came back, and I just had time to see you today, you can't be angry with me, right? ”
"How so!" Du Mingyuan eagerly took Jiang Yan's hand and shook his head and said: "We have been good since we were children, our ears and temples have grown to such a big size, even if you leave the cabinet, we have not broken contact, you went to Jinzhou, I miss you too late, now that you are back, I am very happy, how can I be angry...... I naturally treat you as a sister, but this matter is also my own decision. ”
"What decision?"
"I ...... I'm repairing in the hut at the back, and I want to twist my hair and be my sister-in-law. ”
Ye Angel exclaimed, "Sister Kite, what are you talking about!" What to do as a sister-in-law, bah bah! ”
Jiang Yan looked at Cui Shi with a smile: "This won't be Mrs. Du's good idea, right?" Qing Xiu? It's funny, and although I'm not heard of it, it's the first time I've heard of such an interesting thing in Kyoto City. How. The lady of the one in front of him went. A stepmother, who raised the two sons in front of her into useless people, and forced other people's daughters to be sisters-in-law? ”
Madame laughed again. Cui Shi smiled awkwardly.
"Jokes? I remember that Kite's biological mother had a lot of dowries, some of which were quite profitable shops and granges. She was still a child, and these were all handed over to you to manage, and now she ...... Tsk, I know, now that your daughter is older, and Kite'er's two brothers are not fighting for the dowry. You just want to force Kite out of the house, and then all the dowry of Kite Mother's mother will go to you? ”
"Ma'am, you can't say that." Although Cui's is afraid of Jiang Yu, he also insists on "arguing with reason": "It was the kite who damaged the reputation of the girl first, and I was just a ......"
"Fart!" Jiang Wei raised her eyebrows and slapped over the table of the Eight Immortals, and the tea tray and porcelain on the table fell to the ground with the wooden tabletop. The frightened Cui and the maid screamed in shock.
"I don't know what kind of temperament is the kite? She called you your mother for so many years, you don't think about how to treat her well, and you still have the face to abuse her, your heart is boundless! You're clearly looking at the kite and the flute. It's time to talk about marriage again, for fear that if you don't give those dowries to the kites, you will tarnish your virtuous reputation. If it is given to you, I can't bear it! Over the years, you have earned the profits of those shops and Zhuangzi, but you have no face for Kite, dare to abuse her, and ruin her life! You wicked bite, you should chop it up and feed it to the dogs! ”
Jiang Wei rushed forward angrily, grabbed Cui's hair, Cui's frightened "Mom" screamed, lying on her back and lying on the ground, Jiang Yan was in front of outsiders, she couldn't use kung fu, and she didn't want to use kung fu, so she simply slapped her round slap and first opened the bow left and right and slapped her more than ten mouths, and then ripped off the hair on her head with two handfuls of hair.
When she "committed the murder", Du Mingyuan was pulled by Ye Cheng to "stay away from the battlefield", and the servants and maids on both sides were at a loss, wanting to pull the fight, but they were forced by Jiang Yan's momentum, and besides, the maid next to Jiang Yan also had a fierce look in her eyes, not to mention, who dared to move Jiang Yan? Huo Nineteen, that evil star turned around and didn't swallow anyone alive!
Du Mingfei and Du Mingyi's little sisters both rushed forward to pull Jiang Yan, but they were pulled aside by listening to the rain effortlessly, and grabbed one with one hand, and their fingers like iron tongs held their wrists, and they inhaled cold air in pain.
"Don't make a mistake with the two Du girls, my wife is the person on the tip of the Hou Ye's heart, she has always been the only one who teaches people, and I haven't seen anyone dare to touch her, if you two don't care about life or death, and don't care about the rest of your life, just pass." The servant is not in the way. ”
Listening to the rain, he slowly let go of his hand.
Du Mingfei and Du Mingyi both hesitated and didn't dare to move forward.
Cui Shi was stunned at first, he wanted to fight with Jiang Yan twice but didn't dare, he wanted to fight back and was afraid of her powerful husband, he was already beaten under hesitation, and under the rising anger, he couldn't help but reach out to grab Jiang Yan.
But where would Jiang Yu let her catch it? Her seemingly casual movements happened to dodge Cui's nails that smeared bright red Kodan.
Xu was tired, maybe she had enough, Jiang Yan got up and patted the dust on her palm, as if she had dirty her hands, "You asked Kite to be a sister-in-law, believe it or not, I will send you and the two you raised to be a sister-in-law together?" ”
Cui's hair was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and the most important thing was that his face was swollen, the slap marks on both sides were very obvious, and his makeup was crying, and he whimpered: "How can there be such an unreasonable person, I discipline my daughter, and it is the turn of outsiders to interfere...... This matter also has to be reasonable, it is not the kite herself to say it, who is that she and her cousin teach each other privately, I don't publicize it, I just tell her to think about it, but she seduced outsiders to beat me, and I haven't sent it this day! I'm faceless today, it's a big deal to die clean! ”
At the end, Cui sobbed and stomped, and as soon as he stomped his foot, he was about to hit the doorpost.
The maids and maids were nervously blocking them.
Jiang Yu said: "You all let go and let her die!" Typical one crying, two troubles, and three hangings, although these scenes have fallen, I haven't seen them for a long time. Don't worry, she's dead, and I have a way to shut up your family! ”
When the servants and maids heard this, if someone really let go of their hands and did not stop the Cui family, there were also loyal to the Lord and stopped her from doing stupid things.
Jiang Yu took Du Ming's hand and said, "You guys make a fuss, I'll take the kite into the palace to face the saint." Anyway, the emperor also called me sister. It doesn't make sense that my friend who is a sister is being abused. The emperor still sat idly by. You should touch the pillars and touch the pillars. Don't stop hanging those who should be hanged, I'll bring the emperor up to settle old accounts when I turn back! Pull Du Mingkite and walk out: "Kite, go, follow me into the palace to face the saint." I want the emperor to see what the six-rank official's house is like at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the stepmother is in charge and treats the children of his wife harshly. also framed and did not leave a way for people to live, there is still such a thing in the world that has no royal law! I believe that the emperor is willing to play the role of 'Lord Qingtian' again! ”
Du Mingyuan had already been suppressed by Jiang Yu's sudden splash just now. Not only did she fight with people for her disregard for her image, but she also wanted to take her to face the saint...... She was very moved in her heart, but she didn't want to cause trouble to Jiang Wei.
"Girl, don't go......"
"I'm going, I'm going, the emperor is bored these days, and he's worried about not having fun, he must like it if he wants to know the 'interesting things' here."
Talking here, Cui Shi didn't touch the pillar with his head over there.
She almost forgot. The little emperor also recognized the "shrew" in front of him as his sister......
Although it was verbal, there was no princess. But when did the emperor of Dayan do things according to the regulations? The truth of a qiē is not a truth in his eyes, as long as the emperor is willing, he can live whoever he wants......
Cui's body trembled like a leaf in the wind, and he didn't know what to do at all.
Jiang Yu also saw the begging in Du Mingyuan's eyes. sighed secretly in his heart, Du Mingyuan was too kind.
If she really had a ruthless heart, she wouldn't have been bullied by her stepmother to this point, and she would have ruined her reputation.
She said that she wanted to take Du Mingyuan away, but she couldn't. After all, her identity is the wife of Marquis Jinning, and if she takes Du Mingyuan to the Huo family, it will really ruin her reputation. After all, Du Mingyuan is different from Jiang Jiao, after all, Jiang Jiao is still young, and she is her blood sister. Du Mingyuan is a big girl like a flower, if she is really fanned by someone with a heart, then does she want to get married, is it possible to really twist her hair and become a sister-in-law? That's not cheap for those villains.
"Mrs. Jinninghou, I have something to say, this matter is true, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." It was so easy, Cui Shi forced a smile and trotted to catch up.
Jiang Yu stopped and squinted at her, "What did you say about misunderstanding?" Did I misunderstand you, or did you misunderstand Kite? ”
"Yes, it was the concubine who misunderstood the kite, I think the kiteer has always been sensible and obedient, and it will definitely not be such a debaucher, it must be my nephew who is not sensible."
"Oh." Jiang Yu stretched out her cause: "The relationship is your nephew's troublemaker, why, do you still want to let the dowry of Kite's biological mother be carried directly to your Cui family?" ”
Cui Shi was choked and almost rolled his eyes. Although she thought about retreating, if she couldn't let Du Mingyuan be her sister-in-law, she would also let the dowry enter Cui Jia's door.
Jiang Yu pulled Du Mingyuan back to the main seat and sat down.
Hearing the rain, he casually pointed to the mess on the ground: "That, replace it." He pointed to the charcoal basin again: "Who do you want to freeze to death on a cold day!" And what about hot tea? Our lady doesn't eat Lao Junmei and Lu'an tea! ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The people were scurrying around with their heads instructed by the rain.
After a while, the room was lit with silver frost charcoal, and the table that had been turned over was straightened, and the clean pale pink tablecloth was replaced, and the new blue and white porcelain tea set was put on, and the tea was brewed.
At this time, Cui's hair had been combed again, but his face was red and swollen and no longer looked like he was present.
Jiang Yu said: "Your nephew, either you let him get out of the capital and never come back, or I will personally let him get out." ”
"Where do you dare to do such a trivial matter, Mrs. Lao will let him go."
"Hmm. Also, all the books of the dowry of the kite's biological mother are with you, right? Thinking that you also have hard work, we don't want the previous business income, from now on, within a month, I want to see the kite get all the account books. ”
"This ......" Cui's heart was like a knife, the fat chicken that had been covered in her hand for so many years was about to fly, and she didn't dare to offend the other party.
"What? Questions? ”
"No, no, that's as it should be. I'm just worried that Kite hasn't taken care of the account books and doesn't know the details. ”
"Have you ever seen a pig run if you haven't eaten pork? Kite Bingxue is smart, one point is clear, I will arrange a proper shopkeeper to take over all the time, so I won't bother Mrs. Laodu, I think Mrs. Du is still a good student to teach you what filial piety is. Jiang Yan glanced at Du Mingyi and Du Mingfei, and sneered: "If their sisters are fighting, I may beat you a few less." Look what kind of girl you're raising. When encountering things, I only take care of myself. Regardless of whether your mother lives or dies, such a scum is not as good as you laid an egg and now you can cook and eat. ”
It's pigs running again, and it's laying eggs again......
Cui's rib fan hurts.
Du Mingfei and Du Mingyi also blushed their cheeks, lowered their heads and dared not speak angrily.
Jiang Yu turned back to Tingyu and said: "It's not early today, you stay and serve the kite, and then go back to the house when it is ready, remember to return the situation here to me every day." ”
Listening to the rain curtsied, "Yes, the maid will definitely serve the third girl." ”
Du Mingyuan hurriedly wanted to resign. "Tingyu is a powerful person by your side, how can I keep her, girl, you better bring people back."
"Don't worry, Tingyu has kung fu, and I feel at ease when she is here." Jiang Yu stood up and said, "I will ask the owner of the Bandung ticket number to personally help you recommend a big shopkeeper to come over, and always take care of your dowry, so as to ensure that you will be beautiful when you leave the cabinet in the future." ”
Bandung ticket number!
That is now Dayan's number that is second to none, and it is said that the owner is still a mysterious figure.
Unexpectedly. Mrs. Jinninghou can still say that she can move the Bandung ticket number, and she is not at ease. It's like there's no difficulty at all.
Cui's forehead also began to hurt, and he jumped with his temples.
Jiang Yu took Ye Angel and Bingsong out of the door, Cui Shi and others will inevitably send each other, and when they arrived at the porch, Du Mingyuan wanted to return the white fox Qiu to Jiang Yan, but Jiang Yan refused: "You keep it, lest the slaves who don't have long eyes snub you and let you get frozen." ”
Cui Shi hurriedly said: "It's the negligence of the subordinates, I will turn around and order to go down." ”
Jiang Wei smiled: "I know that Mrs. Du has this ability. If I hear that your nephew hasn't gotten out yet, or if someone is disrespectful to the kite, or if someone is spreading rumors outside, you know what I'll do. ”
"Yes." Choi was humbly taught.
Jiang Yu smiled at Du Mingyuan, and then left with Ye Angel and Bingsong.
After they left, Cui's didn't dare to stay in Du Mingyuan's room, so when they heard the rain, they served her with Du Mingyuan's maid Tonghua to change clothes and wash up, and the house was also cleaned and renewed.
On the carriage, Ye Angel said adoringly: "Sister Concubine, you are really majestic, and the cheeks of that ugly woman with a bad heart are swollen, which can be regarded as a breath for Sister Kite." ”
"It's useless. If Cui's doesn't see it, he won't change it. It's not that she has a biased heart, but she doesn't have a heart at all, for such a person, she doesn't have to think too much about it at all, and when the kite comes out of the cabinet in the future, just ignore her. ”
Ye Angel still admired Jiang Yan's "fist technique" on Cui's body just now, and took Jiang Yan's arm and said, "If I can do whatever I want like my sister, it would be good." ”
Jiang Yu smiled and joked to her: "Whether you can do this depends on whether your future husband has the measure for you to do it, and it also depends on whether he has the ability to deal with the aftermath for you if you cause trouble, and it depends on whether he wants to deal with the aftermath for you." ”
Jiang Yu suddenly remembered Tang Xiao.
The last time he was in Huo Mansion, Tang Xiao's eyes were straight when he saw the little beauty, and he also asked her for help to get the jade card back.
Jiang Yu said, "Angel, do you have an accidental jade plate in your hand?" ”
Ye Angel was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "How does Sister Yu know?" ”
Jiang Yu said: "I have a friend who lost a jade plate, and it took several twists and turns to find out that the jade card was in your hand, but he didn't know you, and it was not good to come to you rashly to ask for it, so he asked me to help him say something." The jade plaque was heirloom from his family, and if he lost it, he said that his grandfather would chop him into pieces. ”
Ye Angel sneered, took out a money bag from his arms, and poured it into his palm, and a jade plaque fell into his hand, and there was a bright and bright word "Xiao" on it.
Jiang Yu thought about Tang Xiao, looking at this jade brand, but tasted a little bit of taste, but she would not ruin the girl's family's name, only said: "This jade card? ”
"Since it's my sister's friend, I naturally have to return it to others, and I don't want to see an innocent person being 'cut into pieces'" said and handed the jade plate to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Then I will thank you on his behalf, and let him thank you another day." ”
"No, I got it by accident, my money bag was touched by a little flower child that day, and when it was returned to me, there was more of this jade plate here, and now I think about it, it should be the one who called the flower child to steal and fall into it carelessly." (To be continued......)
