Chapter 294: Flying Vinegar
On the seventh day of June, it was rainy and rainy.
In the Golden Harvest Garden, which was in the spotlight in the western suburbs of Luojing City, a group of women came early in the morning, looking haggard and uneasy.
Although Zhou Manyun honestly hid in his own small courtyard and fell asleep and got up late, he was still able to use Xiaoqiao's return as a seasoning to accompany his meal at lunch.
The women who braved the wind and rain and worked tirelessly to change places to live were all concubines brought by the prince Xiao Ze from the palace in the city.
Originally, Jinsui Garden was inhabited by the wives and old wives of the Xiao family from Yunzhou, and the mansion in the city was full of fresh "wartime wives".
Just like the two noble concubines that Xiao Zejin accepted in Luojing, one is the second daughter of the old Marquis of the Chen Dynasty, and the other is the third granddaughter of the upstart Luzhou He Laoshuai. These two concubines with extraordinary backgrounds were all called Mrs. Shi and Mrs. He respectively by their subordinates in the city mansion.
But Xiao Ze's wife, Qin, who was serious with a child in the Golden Harvest Garden, was also pressed by the mother-in-law who was supposed to be called the princess with the humble "Mrs. Xu", and continued to be her "grandmother" with low eyebrows.
When Xiao Rui ascends the throne, Madame Xu will take his woman to live in the palace. The adult sons of the Xiao family have now also determined the mansion with only the plaque to be proposed, and the new love and old love will also be victorious in the new territory.
The concubine is humble and humble, and it will not change at all because of the low-key nature of the serious wife.
The original partners in the Golden Harvest Garden are all waiting for each other. Waiting for the two sides to merge on June 25, he took care of the new property that her husband had added to her.
Zhou Manyun also crossed his fingers, looking forward to being able to go back to his own house and live a small life behind closed doors, and the excitement of Xiao Hong's brothers when they arrived could be out of sight and out of mind.
But there are only ten days left before the big day, and Xiao Ze's sudden hand is estimated to be able to confuse the women in the backyards on both sides of him.
And talking about a brother and a brother in everything, it is estimated that Xiao Yuan and others, who also accepted a beautiful concubine in the city, have to hurry up like an elder brother to send their newly acquired beauty to the eyes of their mother and wife.
When we meet in advance, I can't say that I will bang a few sparks in the garden. It's boring to watch!
Zhou Manyun, who consciously has nothing to do with himself. He pursed his lips and smiled very unkindly.
Xiao Qiao, who loves to stab people's privacy, is even less kind, not only talking and dancing, but also giggling from time to time, like a little hen holding a nest.
"The prince summoned the He family to sleep last night, and he was good at first...... In the past three watches, I don't know what the He family said on the pillow, and he was kicked down by the prince...... Then, in the middle of the night, the prince got up and drove the women in the house to come to the Golden Harvest Garden, saying that they were to serve the eldest grandmother and learn what the rules of being a concubine were. ”
Something to do with He Minglan? The smile on Man Yun's face faded unconsciously.
"The eldest grandmother got the letter from the son of the world early. Before the hour, I waited in front of the main gate of the garden to pick up people...... In the courtyard of the long house, the sisters and sisters who saw her for the first time were happy and happy, and the Hu family kindly stepped forward to ask the He family a few more words, but for a while, he didn't notice that the veil covering her face was torn, and as soon as she saw her blue nose and swollen face, everyone surrounded her. ”
What good can a woman who is a concubine really get, and it is not uncommon for her to fall in love before she fades. And for whatever reason, a man who actually beats his own woman is not a thing at all.
Knowing who He Minglan was injured by, Zhou Manyun felt sick for a while. A raised bare hand was placed on his chest.
Xianying, who was listening beside her, immediately called Flowing Water to change the tea, and she brought a flower food box with candied fruits, and intimately handed it to Man Yun with a thin fork to assist in eating.
Man Yun smiled lightly, but he extended the slightly sweet honey fruit to Xiaoqiao's hand.
Xiaoqiao took it and stuffed it into his mouth, and continued to babble vaguely while chewing, "The He family is fierce, and he will have a quarrel with the Hu family right now." There was a fight...... Grandma, I heard that Hu's father and brother are also the prince's old generals in Yunzhou. There is an old relationship with the He family, and they were also called sisters in the boudoir in the past. I don't know why they fought first? ”
Man Yun thought about it and sighed: "Although they are all concubines now, they look average. But if the eldest brother becomes the prince, according to the customization of one concubine, two concubines and four concubines, there will naturally be a difference in position. The sister-in-law has a son and a daughter. The other He family has a good background and has also given birth to a concubine, and the rest of the women who look similar now naturally have to work harder. ”
Wouldn't it be even more pitiful if he was as nameless and powerless as his own sister? Lou Xianying lowered her head, and her eyes shone with a glint of light.
Man Yun glanced at Xian Ying as if he was aware of it, and sighed in his heart.
"Grandma! That He was punished by the eldest grandmother and grounded for three months! Xiao Qiao grinned with white teeth. smiled and squinted his eyes and said, "Or, why will her subordinates go to find out why she will be kicked by the prince?"
Squinting is a thin light, implying a cold glow. He Minglan, who was targeted in Luzhou back then, and the drug-playing Huixin beside her made Xiaoqiao's boring backyard life a little more lively.
"Phew! What are we doing in the privacy of people's houses? Man Yun pulled across the bridge and laughed at her ears, "I think it's imperative to get you married." ”
Married? There is no advance or retreat across the river, and the peace and joy of a life can really be related to oneself? There was a lot of laughter in the room, and I don't know which one was hidden in the sadness when he lowered his eyes.
"That's it!" , Man Yun, who felt that he should be more steady, coughed clearly, sat up straight, and explained to the women in the house with a straight face, "The big house has its own sister-in-law to deal with, and from today on, we will not investigate and ignore it, and we will all block it away." ”
Seeing that Man Yun said solemnly, all the women couldn't help but be awe-struck and responded in unison.
Liufang wants to stay out of the matter, but things will always come to the door.
But the next day, Lou Qiaoying from the big house came to talk to her sister-in-law.
But as expected, Lou Xianying responded to three sentences out of ten, and three or two clicks blocked Lou Qiaoying's intention to share secrets. Lou Qiaoying didn't see Zhou Manyun, so she replied to the master who sent her to be the pioneer with a sad expression.
Lou Qiaoying's more actions were not at the behest of the Cui family or Xiao Ze, and now there is someone else who is in charge of her in the Golden Harvest Garden.
Xu saw that Qiaoying's initial exploration was ineffective, and as soon as the weather cleared the next day, Manyun's sister-in-law Qin specially invited Manyun and a few concubines to her yard to enjoy flowers and tea.
Except for He Minglan, who was grounded for three months, and the Hu family, who had to be closed for half a month after being implicated, the concubines of the long house headed by the Shi family were very courteous and respectful under the leadership of the Qin family.
If Xiao Ze becomes the prince, these sisters-in-law will also rise and have a rank and position. A few younger sisters-in-law didn't dare to really take it, but they were also smiling. Get along well.
The Qin family was quickly tripped up by the fourth daughter-in-law, the Zheng family.
Xiao Laosi had the fastest speed of learning, and on the afternoon of the day when the woman in the long house arrived at the Golden Harvest Garden, he sent his two newly acquired beauties back to his wife.
Brothers and friends, husbands and wives follow!
The men sent people, and how to pick up the newcomers, the younger brother-in-law inevitably had to learn from the eldest sister-in-law.
"How tired!". Seeing that the eldest sister-in-law was pulled by the Zheng family, and surrounded a few genuine sisters-in-law who shared the same hatred, Man Yun, who couldn't bear the summer sleepiness, scolded and sat away from the shade.
There are no concubines in the sixth room, and she is close, which makes people think she is showing off.
"The sixth master is dedicated, and the life of the sixth grandmother is very enviable!" , I don't know when the Qingli woman who approached Manyun sighed in a low voice, and her eyes were full of confusion when she looked ahead.
Man Yun, who was dull and came back to his senses in the midst of a ghostly sigh. first glanced at the Qin clan in the surrounded crowd, and then looked around the area as if the field had been emptied, smiled, got up and saluted Xiao Ze's concubine Shi Shi to sit down on the embroidery pier beside him.
Since people want to speak, they can't hide, so they can only come and be safe, and listen to Changfang's desperate efforts to let himself know what the important thing is.
Shi sat down and talked with Man Yun for a while, and when he saw that Man Yun was kind, he unconsciously took her hand. I feel lamented by my own life.
"Even if a mother's sibling is born, he can't catch up with his eldest brother and sister a few years later! My sister and I of the He family have also been raised in front of the future housemother of someone else's family since we were children. But in the end, the family still sent the concubine who became the prince. ”
Man Yun smiled shyly, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know what the beauty in front of him was talking about.
"Sixth grandmother, in fact, I really envy you for such a day, and I guess Sister He is the same!" , Shi covered his lips and coughed. even revealed the meaning of a cowardly and pitiful relative, and muttered in a low voice: "I can't complain that Sister He can't help but show her regret for not marrying the sixth prince......"
Man Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he was still dumb with a frown.
"Sixth Grandma!" Shi Shi, who noticed that he was speechless, was shocked all of a sudden, and hurriedly took Man Yun's hand and explained: "Sister He called the name of the sixth master when she was serving the prince and was kicked by the master The matter is that the villain said nonsense, don't believe it." ”
Zhou Manyun's eyes widened in shock.
"Although Sister He said that when she was about to marry the boudoir, she said that she would marry the sixth son. But since we have become the concubines of the world, we naturally want to know and accept our fate, how can we shamelessly remember the old things......"
Shi's voice is poignant and graceful, but it is not without losing its ......
Zhou Manyun, the sixth grandmother who is in good health and has the most troubles among the Xiao family's concubines, finally brushed her pretty face, said that she felt unwell, and was the first to ask her eldest sister-in-law to resign.
The Qin family was concerned and greeted Man Yun with warmth, and then he was reluctant to let the person go. Waiting for the master and servant of Man Yun to walk away, he nodded approvingly at Shi Shi, who was standing far away, as if unintentionally.
Xiao Ze's eldest brother who passed away because of He Minglan always had some sympathy for her, and he gave the He family face. Even if he is angry now, he expected that when the name was confirmed, he would still pick up He Minglan again.
Taking advantage of her illness to kill her is good, but the amiable Xiao family's room is not good to mess with the inside, so I have to ask for a kung fu outside the poem.
Zhou Manyun, who is in the sixth room, is jealous by nature, and actually regards men as his own private property, and no one is allowed to touch them at all. When I passed through He's house on the way back to Yunzhou, rumors and rumors of friction with He Minglan had already been spread in private.
And they didn't say anything wrong, but they accidentally revealed the truth about Xiao Ze's scolding when he scolded He Minglan that day.
Zhou Manyun made it best to embarrass He Minglan with vinegar, and even if it was not good, it could make the quiet six-room backyard couple make trouble. Save in front of the husband and father who are about to become the emperor, and the six-room couple are honest and have nothing to do, and they have a sacred heart.
The next year's old rice was deliberately fried. Man Yun was about to vomit.
So she simply took advantage of being frightened to turn up the vinegar waves, immediately avoided it, nested back on her couch and hugged her eyes closed, and leisurely asked Zhou Gong to play chess.
The dream is in full swing, Man Yun doesn't want to pay attention to the broken things in the long house at all, and he feels that as long as he doesn't mess up, nothing will happen at all.
The rumors are long, but they won't stop here in Manyun.
The fragrant story about He Minglan, who was grounded, offended Xiao Ze by gaffe, and was kicked out of the room in the middle of the night without slipping, continued to spread through various channels.
Rumor after legend, there is gradually another plausible version among some special people who dig deeper into the hidden secrets.
He Minglan was cleaned up by her husband. But if you look into the cause, it is actually Xiao Ze who shouted that the thief was the first to strike.
When Xiao Shizi was turning the clouds and raining, he affectionately called the name of another beautiful woman in the ear of the beautiful concubine, which caused the arrogant concubine to be unorthodox and unconventional, and he was unlucky.
Even if the beauty is in her arms, who is the woman who still makes Xiao Ze miss countless gorgeous?
In the face of the curious gaze of the listener, the acquaintance who knows the inside story hooked up a cruel smile on his lips and covered his lips and whispered. (To be continued......)
