Chapter 166: Chess Pieces (Including Light Smile and Shibi+)
"It's dark outside, how can anyone knock on the door?" Chen Yuejiao gently pushed open the window drawer covered with thick cotton paper, and looked into the courtyard.
Their courtyard is not large, only once you enter, you can see the front gate through the window of the inner room of the main house. There is only a small boxwood frame interstitial screen in the courtyard, which is just used as an embellishment.
"Open the door, open the door!" Someone outside shouted loudly.
It sounds familiar.
Chen Yuejiao's heart moved, put on Aunt Jin's big cotton jacket, stepped on the kang under her shoes, and came to the gate of the courtyard with one foot deep and one foot shallow, looking out through the crack in the door.
It's actually a mother-in-law next to the crown princess!
The mother-in-law who used to come to their house to spread the word.
Chen Yuejiao was overjoyed, hurriedly pulled the latch open, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect you to come." ”
The woman wore a big wool jacket with big sleeves and a sheepskin skirt tied underneath, but her feet walked in the snow for a while, and when she got into the snow, now they turned into water, and she was so cold that she was in pain.
Chen Yuejiao looked out of the door, and saw that there were a few people who looked like little girls shoveling snow in front of her door, and they had already shoveled out a way, so that the woman could walk in, otherwise, the heavy snow piled up to half of the gate would be exhausting Chen Yuejiao and Aunt Jin, and they would not be able to shovel this road.
"...... this?" Chen Yuejiao asked, pointing outside.
The woman was so cold that her teeth were chattering, and she was anxious to return to the East Palace after finishing her errand, so she turned back to the alley and shouted, "It's here, bring things over." He turned his head to Chen Yuejiao and said, "Little lady, why did you move here quietly?" Let's find it. ”
Chen Yuejiao remembered that when she went to the prince's East Palace, she was not allowed to enter at all. I was a little unhappy in my heart, but I didn't dare to show it on my face at all, and I took the woman's arm and said, "What do you say?" It's a big deal for your old man. Now, alas, it is difficult to say a word, come in and sit down, and I will tell you about it, and see what Your Highness means. ”
As soon as the mother-in-law heard what Chen Yuejiao said, she thought of the princess's instructions, and said patiently: "It's done." ”
Between words. A few small servants came to the gate of the courtyard with a few big bags on their backs.
The woman pointed to the bags and said, "Our Highness knows that the little lady is not as good as before. These rice, noodles, oil, salt, pickled meat, frozen meat, and charcoal are all used for the New Year by the little lady. ”
Chen Yuejiao was surprised and delighted, and her whole body suddenly became warm.
What kindness could be more memorable than sending charcoal in the snow?
Chen Yuejiao's complaints about the crown prince and the crown princess were thrown out of the clouds at once.
At this moment, she understood deeply. No matter what the fate of the crown prince will be in the future. For her Chen Yuejiao. The crown prince and the crown princess are her only reliance.
For the sake of her future future, she can't give up the big tree of the prince......
The little guy carried the bag and sent it to the kitchen in the yard like a running water.
Two other rough women followed. Cook on the fire.
The stove in the kitchen was on fire, and the big kang in the main room was quickly warmed up.
Aunt Jin sat on the kang, folded the quilt and put it aside, and cleaned up an open space on the kang that could sit on it, and invited the woman to take a seat.
The mother-in-law was also not polite, sat on the kang, and said to Chen Yuejiao: "The prince and the princess are not in Chang'an for a while, they went to Luoyang Palace to play, and they have just returned to Chang'an recently. As soon as I came back and found that the little lady had moved, I was anxious to inquire around. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a large number of capable people and has finally found your new place to live. Then he sighed and said, "The house you lived in before was originally given by Mrs. Xiao, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Chen Yuejiao's eyes were red, and she wiped her tears with a silk and said, "I won't tell you, we didn't expect it either." Who would have thought that even the deed was given to us for the things that were sent away, and we could take them back after the last time? At that time, I went to look for the crown prince and the crown princess, but there was no one to see, I thought that the two highnesses were deliberately avoiding, how did I think that they had left Chang'an? Alas, we also deserve this calamity. ”
The woman nodded and said sympathetically: "I have suffered a lot." Look at the old lady, you are really a lot older, and the little lady is also haggard. - That Mrs. Xiao is so femme fatale, she really knows people and faces, but she doesn't know her heart. ”
Chen Yuejiao felt like a confidant when she heard it, and said with emotion: "I won't tell you, I have lived in the Xiao family for so long, and I know that Uncle Xiao is very good, but his wife is ...... To put it mildly, with this lady, his future road is not easy. This lady, where is the foil? It turned out to be the enemy of the previous life, and the debt collection in this life came. ”
Soon dinner was served, and the three of them had a full meal.
Aunt Jin hadn't eaten so comfortably for a long time, and the room had never been so warm. When she had finished eating, she became sleepy, and went into the back room to sleep.
Only Chen Yuejiao and the mother-in-law were left in the warm pavilion.
It was very late, and the mother-in-law didn't go back, so she went out to greet the people she brought today to live in Chen Yuejiao's wing, and go back tomorrow at dawn.
Fortunately, in Chen Yuejiao's courtyard, there are still a few wing rooms, and after burning the kang, it can still live in people.
The mother-in-law was huddled on the same bed with Chen Yuejiao.
In the dead of night, the mother-in-law said the prince's instructions and asked Chen Yuejiao: "What are your plans in the future?" The prince said that if you want to get married, he can help you be a matchmaker and marry into a good family to be a young grandmother. ”
The prince's meaning, of course, was to test Chen Yuejiao.
He also knew that he was reborn in another life, and many things had to be rearranged.
For example, Chen Yuejiao, although he knew that Chen Yuejiao was Xiao Shi and the most painful lady in the last life, but in this life, she was driven out of the Xiao family by Du Hengshuang before she grew up.
Without the water grinding kung fu of more than ten years in the previous life, can she still touch Xiao Shiji's heart?
It's not for nothing that the building near the water gets the moon first.
Now that she lives far away, that month is even more out of reach.
Although the prince also has a way to help Chen Yuejiao, the most important thing is that Chen Yuejiao has to have her own heart. If she didn't want to, it would be useless for the prince to interfere no matter how he did.
"Marry?" Chen Yuejiao sneered, "If it's just to marry someone else, how could I end up like this?" ”
The woman's eyebrows jumped heavily. I looked at the little lady who had only turned fourteen years old again. - It's really not to be underestimated......
"The prince said, if you don't want to get married, then what are your plans?" The woman continued. She is the crown princess on the surface, but in fact, secretly, the prince is her master.
These words were passed on to Chen Yuejiao without the crown princess.
Chen Yuejiao was silent for a long time, she had some vague thoughts about the prince's actions in her heart, and after being silent in the dark for a while, Chen Yuejiao said: "There are some things that I only say to the prince." If the prince has a heart. Please meet us. If unintentional. Forget it. ”
The mother-in-law secretly praised Chen Yuejiao for her courage, and said with a smile: "Then my wife will go back tomorrow and ask." ”
Chen Yuejiao said "um" and fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, the woman got up. First command the servant to sweep the snow in the yard to the corner. The two rough mothers-in-law who brought it made breakfast. Then he left a wooden box for Chen Yuejiao before taking people away.
Chen Yuejiao opened the box and saw that there was a deed with her name written on it. It's the courtyard where they live. and a silver ticket of a thousand taels of silver, and fifty taels of broken silver.
Seeing these two things, Chen Yuejiao was so excited that she burst into tears, hugged the wooden box on her chest, and cried fiercely.
In two lives, no one has ever planned for her like this.
Du Yu's last life and Xiao Shihe once had a beautiful time of affection, but after ten years, the kindness is no more, the magnanimous Xiao Shiji who held her in the palm of his hand is gone, replaced by a scumbag who is always suspicious, gloomy and temperamental, tormenting her all the time.
And Chen Yuejiao has to rely on her own plans for everything. Not long after giving birth to her son, Xiao Shiji died, and she could only rely on herself.
The two of them were able to become one because they had the same pain in their previous life, right?
It's all caused by Xiao Shi and this guy.
Thinking of the enemy in her previous life, Chen Yuejiao gritted her teeth for a while, and swore that when he changed his mind and recognized the truth, she would "abuse" him well, and there was a faint fear for a while, for fear that Du Hengshuang would always occupy her position, so that she would not have a chance to let Xiao Shihe recognize the truth.
She spent two days in a state of gain and loss.
On the morning of the tenth day of the lunar month, the prince came to Chen Yuejiao's small courtyard in civilian clothes.
Chen Yuejiao gave a big salute to the prince in the warm pavilion.
The prince sent a mother-in-law over before and coaxed Aunt Jin out of the house to visit the door.
Now there are only two people in the house, the prince and Chen Yuejiao.
The prince sat on the kang and looked at Chen Yuejiao with a smile and said, "I heard that you want to see Lone, is there anything wrong?" ”
Chen Yuejiao knelt down, gritted her teeth, and said, "The prince's kindness to the people's daughter, the people's daughter is unforgettable. ”
The prince let out an "um" and said lightly: "And then?" ”
Chen Yuejiao asked calmly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the people have always had a question in their hearts. - Why did the prince show favor to the people's daughters? The women of the people have no ability to help the world, and they do not have a prominent family background. only depends on the widowed mother for his life, and after thinking about it, he really can't think of a place that can bring benefits to the prince. ”
The crown prince laughed twice, looked down at Chen Yuejiao who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "You finally asked." I thought you wouldn't ask, and you'd keep making mistakes. ”
Chen Yuejiao didn't understand what the prince meant, and looked at the prince with some surprise.
The prince wanted to say what happened in the future, but when he saw Chen Yuejiao's flickering eyes, he intuitively felt that something was wrong, so he swallowed the words in his mouth again, changed his words, got up from the kang, walked around the warm pavilion, turned his head to look at Chen Yuejiao and said: "Actually, Lone values Xiao Duwei and wants to put a reliable person by his side." - It's not that you have to, if you don't want to, you won't be reluctant. A lot of people out there think about this errand. ”
Sure enough, it was for Xiao Shi and ......
Chen Yuejiao had mixed feelings in her heart, and she said after a long time: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I am just a distant relative of the Xiao family......"
"Exactly, that's why I said, you don't have to. Lone can also find someone else. - Lone is looking for you now because you need a backer the most, and it is also the most convenient. ”
Chen Yuejiao saw that the prince seemed to want to change his mind. yes, it's not her, it's just a coincidence.
Thinking that she has no power and no power, she has no advantage in front of Du Hengshuang, now she is just driving herself out, if Brother Xiao really makes a promise to herself in the future, Du Hengshuang will definitely kill herself! When the time comes, what do you want to fight with Du Hengshuang?
Chen Yuejiao immediately made a decision, and immediately said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I am willing." As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not embarrass Brother Xiao, I am willing to help the Prince be this middleman. ”
The prince nodded, "You have to think about it." Du Hengshuang I don't like it to look at, and I have long wanted to take her. Do you have the guts to pull her off the horse? ”
Chen Yue raised her head sharply and looked at the prince in disbelief. - How did he know what was going on in her mind? Is he telling the truth, or is he testing himself?
The prince put his hands behind his back and looked at Chen Yuejiao fixedly.
The early morning sun shines on the snowdrifts in the courtyard, reflecting a dazzling light, shining on the thick window paper, making the warm pavilion much brighter than usual.
Chen Yuejiao's face was reflected in the morning light, with maturity and stability that did not suit her age.
A young lady who was not yet fourteen years old, with a beautiful complexion, and beautiful eyes like deep purple grapes. Although she has lived a poor life in the past six months, her complexion is a little haggard, but a beauty is a beauty, as long as she sleeps well, she will immediately recover as before.
The prince hoped that he had not seen the wrong person.
Chen Yuejiao stood up from the ground and saluted the prince Yingying, "Please fulfill the prince." ”
The prince smiled instead, "Lonely day is in charge, how can I have time to care about these trivial things in the backyard?" ”
Chen Yuejiao couldn't understand, "Didn't the prince say that it was not pleasing to the eye when he saw Du Hengshuang?" ”
"Yes, Lone doesn't like her. However, no matter how unpleasant it is, she has nothing to do with Lonely. The prince said it meaningfully.
Chen Yuejiao's face darkened, she lowered her head and looked at the calluses on her hands. After only half a year of labor, she became like those poor peasant women. What is too much to overdo on such a day?
"His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as you stretch out your little finger, Du Hengshuang will be swept out of the house......" Chen Yuejiao still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that the prince could make a move and take Du Hengshuang off.
The crown prince shook his head with a smile, "Chen Yuejiao, Chen Yuejiao, I still think that you have a lot of talent, but that's it." He smiled and walked out.
Chen Yuejiao was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't you talk nonsense?" ”
The prince turned his head and looked at Chen Yuejiao and smiled slightly, "You have to have the ability to know what to do by yourself." - Loneliness can help you for a while, but not for a lifetime. You said that you want to put you in the position of 'Mrs. Xiao' alone, and then leave it alone. Or do you climb to the position of 'Mrs. Xiao' by yourself, and then sit alone on your backer, and let you turn your hands into clouds and rain in Xiao's mansion? ”
Chen Yuejiao's face turned white all of a sudden. She understood what the prince meant.
The prince's help depends on her ability. If she fails to show her abilities to the prince, the prince will throw her away as an outcast.
