Chapter 141: A Woman's Mind
Chen Yuanyuan's real name is Xingyuan, born in a merchant's family, his mother died early, and was later adopted by her uncle, and she took her uncle's surname Chen.
Later, when the valley in the south of the Yangtze River was not established, she let her uncle sell it to the pear orchard. Since then, he has fallen into the dust and become a good girl in the pear orchard.
Since then, Chen Yuanyuan has known that the best destination for a woman like himself in the future is nothing more than to be a concubine for the master of a big family.
When he learned that the Tongzhi Lord of Suzhou Mansion wanted to redeem himself, Chen Yuanyuan was a little frightened. She knew that Tang Yongzhen had always coveted her beauty. It's just because there is a fierce lady in the family that he doesn't dare to attack himself.
Today, is this Tongzhi going to take himself as a concubine?
Not to say that he has no good feelings for that old fellow, just to say that the lady in his family is not a good child. That's a well-known fierce woman in the city of Suzhou.
When he arrives at his house with such an identity, what good life can he have?
Later, I learned that this Tongzhi lord ransomed her body to give it away. I heard that the old man was a messenger from the capital. I just don't know, is that adult good-tempered?
After seeing Li Xiuwen at the door, Chen Yuanyuan was surprised: "Isn't this the son who listened to the play today?" It turned out that he was Lord Qincha from the capital! ”
Seeing Li Xiuwen's deeply frowning expression, Chen Yuanyuan had some doubts in his heart. On weekdays, how can those men not covet their beauty? But now that the Tongzhi Lord gave himself to him, he doesn't seem to be very willing?
"Could it be that he is the Lord Qincha who ransomed his life for Dong Xiaowan?"
As he walked forward with Sun Mingwen, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly understood. The fact that Lord Qincha ransomed Dong Xiaowan with great fanfare had already spread in Suzhou City.
No wonder, this adult doesn't look down on himself.
Sun Mingwen walked to the door of a room and stopped, pushed open the door and said to her, "Yuanyuan girl, you can stay here." If you need to buy something, just say hello to me. ”
"Thank you, Steward Sun."
Chen Yuanyuan nodded lightly and thanked him. I walked straight into the room, and there was only some simple furniture inside.
Putting the burden on the table, Chen Yuanyuan sat on the wooden bench, but he was a little puzzled in his heart: "In the courtyard of Lord Qincha, there is not even a maid to call?" ”
"Chen Yuanyuan?"
A surprised voice suddenly came from the door.
Chen Yuanyuan looked back and saw a woman walking in, it was Dong Xiaowan.
Both of them are in Suzhou, and as peers, they naturally know each other.
Chen Yuanyuan didn't know what the other party's identity was now, so he had to salute and say, "I've seen Sister Xiaowan." ”
Dong Xiaowan frowned and said, "The adult redeemed his sister?" ”
Chen Yuanyuan saw Dong Xiaowan's expression like this, how could he not know the vinegar in her heart? When I first arrived, I naturally couldn't offend her easily, so I replied, "It was Master Tang who gave me to the master." ”
Dong Xiaowan glanced at her suspiciously, and then said softly: "Then my sister can live in peace." ”
Li Xiuwen was sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea leisurely, but saw Dong Xiaowan walking towards him. He smiled, "If you feel bored, you can go out for a walk." ”
Dong Xiaowan said: "Xiaowan didn't feel bored, what do you want to eat for dinner?" ”
"Isn't there a cook for dinner?"
"Xiao Wan is grateful for the kindness of the son, so she naturally has to do these things for the son."
Three days in the kitchen, wash your hands and make soup?
Li Xiuwen sensed her intentions and wanted to refuse.
But when he saw Dong Xiaowan's expectant eyes, he couldn't say anything if he refused. I had to nod and say, "You can do whatever you want, I won't pick it." ”
"I won't disappoint Childe."
Dong Xiaowan's face was happy, she turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, Son, this Tongzhi is not a good match, you have to be careful." ”
When Li Xiuwen heard this, he knew that she was talking about Chen Yuanyuan. This Tang Yongzhen used a beauty trick, how could he not know? If you don't do it, then Chen Yuanyuan may be an undercover agent sent by Tang Yongzhen.
"Don't worry, I'm in control."
At dinner, Li Xiuwen knew that Dong Xiaowan's cooking skills were really good.
When he was in the capital, Yang Yuxuan often cooked and cooked a rich dish for him. However, Yang Yuxuan's cooking skills are a little worse than Dong Xiaowan.
Dong Xiaowan and Zhang Luo's dinners are all local home-cooked dishes in Suzhou. Li Xiuwen also learned today that the legendary "Called Chicken" originally came from Changshu County, Suzhou.
After dinner, Dong Xiaowan suddenly offered to play the song to Li Xiuwen.
Anyway, at this time, there was no entertainment, and Li Xiuwen was not used to going to bed early, so he agreed.
In the yard. The melodious sound of the piano came out of nowhere, Li Xiuwen closed his eyes, lay on the recliner and enjoyed it quietly.
Dong Xiaowan's piano skills are very good, at least Li Xiuwen feels that he is far inferior to her. This time, she played a wind into a loose.
After the song was over, Li Xiuwen praised sincerely: "Miss Xiaowan's piano skills are outstanding, I am ashamed of myself." ”
After being praised by him, Dong Xiaowan smiled and said: "The son is too humble." Xiao Wan has never heard Childe's piano music, why doesn't Childe play a song? ”
Li Xiuwen was in a good mood, so he nodded and agreed, and played his pirated version of the Spring River Flower Moon Night again.
When he finished playing, he naturally attracted Dong Xiaowan's praise again and again, and asked about the origin of the piano music.
In this regard, Li Xiuwen could only say again that he had done it, and then perfunctory.
Chen Yuanyuan on the side just watched quietly and never said a word.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Li Xiuwen felt a little unbearable in his heart, so he smiled and said: "Miss Yuanyuan must also be outstanding in piano skills, can you play a song for us?" ”
Chen Yuanyuan said: "The slave family's piano skills are not as good as my sister's. ”
"It's okay, it's still early at the moment, so you can play a song."
"That slave family is ugly."
Li Xiuwen has to admit that Chen Yuanyuan is indeed very beautiful. At first, when she was just dressed as a matchmaker, she already made herself feel amazing. Now she is wearing a Confucian skirt, and the appearance of sitting upright and stroking the piano is even more charming.
It wasn't until the end of the song that Li Xiuwen came back to his senses. Dare Qing patronized and watched people just now, but he didn't hear what Chen Yuanyuan was playing. He had to give him a few perfunctory compliments, and then left the courtyard and went back to his room.
Li Xiuwen lost his soul, which naturally made Dong Xiaowan appear. She also had to sigh secretly in her heart: "Chen Yuanyuan's appearance can indeed be regarded as a national beauty." ”
Back in his room, Chen Yuanyuan sat on the bed and said in his heart: "I wonder if the master will come over tonight?" ”
She also saw that Li Xiuwen didn't look down on herself, and the other party's distracted appearance was definitely not fake, and he was
