Chapter 56: Glory and Sorrow
The Ling Zhu and his party also left the Baylor Mansion under the guidance of Li Wei, and Li Wei helped load the things into the carriage before leaving. The carriage slowly drove away from the Baylor Mansion with a slight sway, Yilan leaned on the window edge and looked at the Baylor Mansion that was gradually moving away, and looked back from time to time at the various gifts piled up in the carriage, and her delicate little face showed a deep look of envy, and for a long time she seemed to have made up her mind, and said solemnly to Ling Zhu, who was talking to the Fucha clan: "Amma, when Lan'er grows up, she will become a master like her sister." ”
Ling Zhu was stunned for a moment, hugged Yilan and let her sit on his lap and asked, "Why do you suddenly think like this?" ”
Ilan played with his braided hair tied with a blue ribbon and said with a strange expression, "Doesn't Amma think so?" You see how good my sister is now, brocade clothes and food, there are people who serve us in and out, and they have given us so many good things, those satin are so smooth and comfortable, better than the court clothes that Ama wore when she went to court. ”
Ling Zhu was stunned, she didn't expect her to have such an idea, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, but Rong Xiang, who was gnawing an apple on the side, wrinkled his nose and spit out two words, "Superficial." ”
As soon as he heard this, Yilan was immediately unhappy, like a fried kitten, and raised his eyebrows upside down and shouted, "What did you say?" ”
Rong Xiang gnawed the apple clean, threw the kernel outside, wiped his mouth, and said: "I said that you are superficial, my sister is now a fine dress, but it is not a finch in a golden cage, don't say that it is difficult to see relatives when you go out, you didn't see how sad my sister was when we left just now, and you still envy your sister, not superficial." ”
Yilan retorted disapprovingly: "Although my sister can't leave Baylor Mansion, there is no trace of grievances in the place next to her, and she can even help us, is it better to endure the cold and starve?" ”
"Don't speculate more than half a sentence!" The two snorted, each turned their faces to the side and stopped talking, Ling Zhu patted Yilan's head and said, "Do you really think that your sister is just restricted from her freedom?" ”
"And what else?" Ilan asked with a blank expression.
Ling Zhu sighed and looked at the Fucha clan and said, "Madam, do you feel that except for Jing Siju, no matter where we go, there seems to be someone staring?" ”
Fucha looked surprised, and blurted out: "Does the master also feel this way, the concubine thought it was an illusion at first." ”
Ling Zhu shook his head, looked at the curtain of the car that was blown up by the wind from time to time, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that Ruo'er's life in Baylor Mansion is not as easy as she herself said, and her words and deeds are being monitored. He stroked Yilan's back and said: "Behind the glory of the wind is the unimaginable sword light and sword shadow and life and death, everywhere is full of murderous opportunities, the slightest bit will end up with a broken body, and there will be no return." I'm afraid that every night your sister has spent in Baylor House has never really been at ease. Speaking of this, he sighed and looked up and said, "If so, Amma would rather your sister never intersect with the royal family, and live a quiet and indifferent life." ”
Yilan pouted and said displeasedly: "Ama scares people, how can it be as terrible as you say." ”
Ling Zhu glanced at her with pity and said, "You are still young, you don't understand many things, and when you grow up in the future, you will naturally understand." ”
Ilan pursed her lips disapprovingly and turned her gaze to the drizzling car, and as the carriage turned, she could only see the corner of the cornices of Baylor House, but the heavy luxury had already been deeply ingrained in her mind, and she could not erase it.
At that time, in the Chaoyun Pavilion, Nian was leaning on the chaise longue with his eyes closed, two little maids squatting on both sides with a jade wheel massaging on his legs, and a gilded Boshan incense burner resting on the small table next to the couch, at this moment was burning the best lily incense, wisps of light smoke with a pleasant light incense from the furnace leisurely, silently spread all over every corner of the house.
This lily incense is made of more than 20 kinds of spices such as agarwood incense, cloves, chicken bone incense and so on, and after being made, it must be mixed with white honey and then put into porcelain and then sealed with wax paper, so that it will not leak the aroma. Legend has it that this ancient method has been lost, and even the most skilled perfumers cannot mix true lily incense. Nian Qianyao knew that his sister was fond of incense, and he didn't know where to buy the ancient recipe of lily incense, and handed it over to the most famous incense maker in the capital to develop, and finally partially restored this ancient fragrance.
"Fujin, you don't know what to do, she doesn't know what kind of soup she poured into Lord Belle, she has only been in the mansion for a year, so she let her family get together in the mansion, and the concubine waited for three years to wait for this opportunity. What's even more excessive is that lunch, not counting snacks and fruits, there are enough dishes to have 12 dishes, which is extremely ostentatious; Chang Fujin even sent someone to send a roast suckling pig over. Next to her, the Song family was talking, and there was a sour and jealousy that could not be concealed between the words, she had survived for so many years and even lost a daughter to get to the position of Shufujin, but Niu Hulu Lingruo, she didn't do anything, and easily sat on an equal footing with her, which taught her how to be willing.
Song twisted his handkerchief and pouted: "Just when they left, the concubine saw with her own eyes that she took a lot of things back, what satin, jewelry, supplements, everything, dare to love our Baylor Mansion is the gold and silver mountain of their Niu Hulu family." ”
"Is that enough?" Nian Shi opened his half-closed eyes, raised his hand and motioned for Lu Yi to pick her up, and a ruby the size of a little finger hung down from the golden silk phoenix hairpin in the middle of the bun, and the streamer flickered, reflecting the golden flower in the center of the eyebrows.
Nian Shi helped Yun Shi to help Yun sideburns, and his eyes casually swept over the angry Song Shi and said: "She can make Bei Leye and Yan Fujin lift, it is her ability, why be angry?" You say so much in the hope that I will come out against her. ”
The Song family was mercilessly touched by the Nian family, and he didn't know what to say, so he held back a sentence for a long time, "Concubine...... The concubine is not worth it for Fu Jin, Niu Hulu always thinks that he is disrespectful to Fu Jin, and even poisoned Fu Jin's favorite pom-pom, which is simply a great crime, does Fu Jin really want to watch her become a climate? ”
Nian Shi chuckled, and his soft and boneless hand gently rested on Song's shoulder, "Do you know who I hate the most in my life?" ”
Song was stunned, tilted his face, and the moment his eyes inadvertently intertwined, his body shrank back, and there was an unconcealable fear in it, although Nian was laughing, but those eyes were as cold as ice that would not melt for thousands of years, there was no temperature at all, and only one glance could freeze people.
"I ...... Concubinage...... The concubine is ignorant, how can she guess Fujin...... of thoughts. She wanted to stand up, but the hand on her shoulder was so heavy that she didn't have the slightest desire to resist, so she could only stammer, and her hands were tightly wringing the handkerchief, and she pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying.
Song's fear was exactly what Nian wanted, she bent down and said word by word in Song's ear: "What I hate most is people who have different hearts and mouths and think they are smart." ”
At this time, it was late autumn in September, and it had not yet entered winter, but Li had a feeling of standing naked in the ice and snow, even the blood seemed to be frozen, and the voice in her ears was even more like the urging of the king of Hades, which frightened her soul, and she quickly bent her knees and knelt down and kowtowed, "The concubine knows the mistake, the concubine knows the mistake, ask for forgiveness!" ”
Nian smiled silently, turned around and sat down, took the tea handed by Lu Yi and slowly sipped it, silence is often the best deterrent, because it will make others unable to figure out their intentions and unable to deal with them. After finishing a cup, he said to the frightened Song who was kneeling on the ground: "Do you think you can hide your little caution from me?" Hmph, it's a joke! ”
Nian's cold snort sounded like a thunderbolt in Song's ears, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat, regretting the little trick she had just saved, but now it was too late to say anything, tears and snot cost her makeup, making her look like a clown, but now Song can't take care of much, she climbed to Nian's feet and grabbed the hem of her skirt and begged: "Fu Jin, the concubine knows that the way is wrong, the concubine will never dare to do it again next time, and she must be loyal to Fu Jin." ”
Although Nian's entry into the house for less than a year, the Song family has already learned her methods, not to mention the time of Jing Siju, that is, the Song family has seen it more than once, Cheng Gege thinks that the color of the material sent to her to make winter clothes is not good-looking, and he goes to the executive's house to change the material, which makes it very difficult for the executive's family to do. This happened to be seen by Nian's, and she asked the executive's family to go to the warehouse to take out the materials that were ready to be distributed to all of you, and there were hundreds of Shu brocade, Yun brocade, and Jing brocade.
Cheng Gege didn't have time to thank him, Nian had already lightly ordered the executives to unfold each brocade and wrap it around Cheng Gege's body, and after the hundred brocades were wrapped, Cheng Gege had become a round ball, not to mention that it was difficult to walk and even move, so he stood in the courtyard all night, no one dared to untie the cloth, and it happened to rain that night, so that Cheng Gege shivered, and kept begging for mercy and shouting for help, but in exchange for a merciless slap, Chaoyun Pavilion's subordinates were ordered by Nian, As long as Cheng Gege dared to speak, he slapped her mouth until she passed out.
Cheng Gege was seriously ill after being rescued, and even after he recovered from his illness, he was frightened, and since then he has become submissive, seeing Nian's like a mouse seeing a cat, and he will leave from afar. And Nian's thunderous means also shocked everyone, and made people see the power of the Nian family clearly, those nearly 100 horses of material in the house, within two days, people were transported from outside the house, and all of them were from the best silk in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Song secretly hated how he was confused and forgot Nian's methods for a while, but now it was too late to say anything, so he could only keep begging for mercy.
Nian glanced at the Song family who had spent makeup with disgust, if there was still a place to use her, I really wanted to kick it out, this wretched look was disturbing when I saw it, such a stupid person like a pig dared to play tricks in front of her, I was really impatient. Waving his hand to signal the maid who came with the Song family to help her up, he said, "Remember your words today, if you don't say anything sincerely, I will not spare it." As for Niu Hulu Lingruo...... Naturally, I will teach her well, so that she can do whatever she wants if she is not favored by Lord Belle. She fiddled with the gold rhombus inlaid pearl armor on her finger and sneered: "Didn't Chang Fujin let us go to Qingyin Pavilion to watch a play in three days?" Then let's watch this scene well, don't let down Chang Fujin's intentions. ”
Niu Hulu Lingruo, you escaped last time, so what about this time, can you still be so lucky?
On this night, many people could not sleep......
