Chapter 13: Defeat
Rong Yu thought for a while and carefully explained the treasure bottle: "Although it is just a trivial matter, it happened at King Chen's wedding banquet, and it involved King Duan and the six princes. ”
"Then there are the ...... of the six princes"
"The six princes and their brothers are studying in the same country, and they are happy with the second lady in our house, the second sister treats the six princes coldly, and the six princes are never annoyed......"
"No matter what people outside say about him, let's be cautious, so as not to give birth to right and wrong."
The treasure bottle nodded hurriedly, and his face was full of self-reproach: "Miss, I am not a shallow person who likes to chew the root of the tongue, you, you must not have sex with the minions......"
Rong Yu smiled: "It's not that I can't trust you, but I beware of the ...... that the partition wall has ears."
The treasure bottle responded and kowtowed to Rong Yu gratefully.
Rong Yu looked at the treasure bottle meaningfully.
Of course she believed in the vase......
Among the four first-class maids, the jewel and the treasure mirror are all born to the family, and although the treasure pot was bought into the house, it has also been with her since she was a child.
The vase was only entered when she was four years old, and I heard Mama Wu say that the young vase squatted at the door of the Hou Mansion and cried for a long time, and the steward in front of her asked her which child she was, but she couldn't say clearly, just cried blindly.
The steward saw that she was neatly dressed, and when she was separated from her family, she led her to report to the official, but no one came to the door to pick her up after waiting for several days, and the steward saw that she was young and had nowhere to go, so he left her in the house to help do some small work and give her food.
Soon after, the original "treasure vase" around Rong Yu was sent to Zhuangzi in the suburbs due to illness, and now this vase is diligent and has been mentioned to Rong Yu's side.
Although the origin of the vase is somewhat unusual, there is nothing suspicious about it.
In his previous life, the vase performed average in the Taining Marquis Mansion, and it was not outstanding among the four first-class maids, but there was nothing wrong with it.
The ability of the treasure bottle was gradually revealed after Rong Yu married into King Ning's mansion.
The people in the palace are all human spirits, and King Ning doesn't want to see Rong Yu, so the son is keen to stumble on Rong Yu secretly.
Where have Rong Yu and the grandmothers and maids around him seen those methods, when everyone suffered a lot of secret losses and misery, the treasure bottle fought fiercely with those evil slaves, not only could see through the other party's tricks, but also occasionally counterattacked, and if a few times, those evil slaves stopped.
Rong Yu naturally wanted to ask why the treasure bottle suddenly grew like that, but the treasure bottle only said that he couldn't get used to those snobbish dog slaves bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, so he learned their methods to deal with them.
Fifteen-year-old Rong Yu would believe that answer, but twenty-five-year-old Rong Yu did not.
Later, she learned the rules of survival in the palace little by little, and realized that the method used by the vase back then was by no means something that an ordinary maid could comprehend by herself in just a few months.
However, she did not have a chance to ask the truth, because the vase had already gone by then.
After the vase took action to rectify the minions of King Ning's mansion, it attracted the attention of King Ning, and King Ning actually said that he wanted to take her into the house.
Rong Yu mistakenly thought that the vase showed all those skills to arouse King Ning's idea, and he was so angry that he didn't want to see her again.
It wasn't until the day of the tea ceremony that her anger finally eased a little, thinking that King Hengzhu Ning was going to marry a side concubine and take a concubine, and it would be good for the people around her to get that dignity, so she specially prepared a pair of red gold blessing bracelets and a red seal, planning to reward her after the tea ceremony in the vase.
After the treasure bottle respectfully toasted her tea, she said: "Niangniang, the slave will never have the intention of hooking up with the prince, and will never do anything to betray you", and then took poison and committed suicide.
Later, Rong Yu often thought of the treasure bottle.
She lived a good life as the master, and the maids around her did not live a good life.
The treasure bottle that committed suicide by taking poison, the treasure pot that she had suffered for her and was beaten to death in front of her, the treasure jewel that she confessed to her guilt and hanged herself......
The only treasure mirror who betrayed her and reported to King Ning that she had drugged and begged for a child, but he was alive.
She now knew what the maids meant for her and what happened to her, but she still couldn't figure out who the Aquarius was.
She couldn't understand how the vase had become a sharp sword, why the sword was willing to be driven by her, and she regretted that she couldn't use it as a chopping knife......
It's just that whether it's a treasure bottle or a treasure mirror, she can't take care of it for the time being.
She waited anxiously......
The day passed peacefully, and all that happened was trivial:
In the afternoon, Rong Hua led her to see Rong Lian, who was recuperating in bed, and looked at Rong Lian's weak appearance, which would not get better until the dust settled on the marriage letter......
At dinner, Rong Ying replied that Rong Heng had changed the place of residence for Mu Linyuan, and they were all inconsequential words, which mattered, and she would not say it in front of everyone.
Since Rong Ying and Mu Linyuan met this time, Rong Heng's tense emotions in the past two days have relaxed a lot, so that Rong Yu has to sigh: Rong Ying is really a person with ability and means!
How Rong Ying resolved the marriage letter, Rong Yu knew on the fourth day.
On this day, Mu Linyuan sent someone to hand a letter to Rong Yu and asked her to meet in Guiyun Tower.
As time passed, Rong Yu's heart became more and more uneasy, and she really didn't want to leave the house and leave Rong Hua's side half a step at such a time.
But in the final analysis, she took the initiative to visit Mu Linyuan first, and there was no reason not to go to Mu Linyuan's appointment at this time.
Moreover, in his previous life, Rong Hua committed suicide at night......
Rong Yu left the treasure bottle to take care of Rong Hua secretly, and took the treasure bead to Guiyun Tower.
In the center of Kyoto City is the forbidden palace where the emperor and the ladies live, around the forbidden palace is divided into the inner city, the outer city, the suburbs, the east inner city is the prince, the clan relatives, the west inner city was lived in the first are nobles, now there are also high-ranking officials who bought the house of the declining nobles to live, the rest of the civil and military officials, citizens and businessmen are scattered in the east and west outer cities, tea snacks, clothes fat powder, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, restaurants and hostels and other shops are mostly opened in the east and west outer cities.
Among them, the Guiyun Building in the East Outer City is the most magnificent restaurant and hostel in Kyoto City today.
The businessman has a humble status but makes a lot of profits, so if he wants to make the biggest business safely and steadily, he must have a powerful backer behind him.
The person behind Guiyun Tower is the only favored Xu Guifei.
Xu Guifei is also the biological mother of King Chen and Princess Zhaohuai.
The emperor favored Xu Guifei, and the world also sought after Guiyunlou.
What's more, Guiyunlou's dishes and services are indeed unique, and over time, it has become a dominant situation.
Rong Yu stood at the main entrance of Guiyun Building and looked up.
The three-storey pavilion with vermilion walls and cornices is still the magnificent style in her memory, and the plaque of the emperor's imperial pen hangs in the center, but she is no longer the former her.
In order to invite the six princes to have a meal in Guiyun Tower, a who saves money for one penny or two;
Because he couldn't understand the elegant names of Guiyunlou's dishes, he was teased by the six princes and made jokes;
When she was lonely, she returned to Yunlou alone and bought Princess Ning, who was drunk and drunk......
She remembered all those pasts, but she never wanted to go through them again.
At present, Rong Ying has changed the accommodation of Guiyun Building for Mu Linyuan, which shows sincerity.
Rong Yu calmed down, walked into Guiyun Tower, and easily saw Mu Linyuan sitting alone in the corner of the hall on the first floor.
The first floor of Guiyun Building is a scattered seat, where you can order food or drink tea, the second floor is separated by a private room, and the third floor is a guest room.
Rong Yu walked over, Mu Linyuan got up to greet her and said, "I'm sorry, the fee here is very high, I just need a pot of free boiling water, don't blame the third lady." ”
Rong Yu sat down and took a sip of white water: "It is said that the water used in Guiyunlou is the living spring water that is transported into the city from Lingyan Mountain in the western suburbs every morning, thank you Mu Gongzi, this white water tastes very good." ”
Rong Yu looked at Mu Linyuan: "Mu Gongzi invited the little girl to meet today, but he has already thought it through?" ”
Mu Linyuan nodded: "The conditions offered by the third lady say that Mu Mou's heart is true, making it difficult for Mu to make a choice......
"However, the ancestors of the Mu family used to return a hundred taels of gold to your mansion, with the intention of teaching future generations that doctors are not for fame and fortune to save people, and even half a penny will not be taken in addition to the consultation money."
"If I agree to the conditions proposed by the third lady and exchange the marriage letter for the medical hall, although it sounds noble, it is actually against the ancestors' teachings."
Don't want a doctor......
So what about the marriage certificate?
Rong Yu looked at Mu Linyuan quietly.
Mu Linyuan got up and saluted Rong Yu, and said, "Third Miss, Mu doesn't want a medical hall, and I don't want Miss Houfu to commit to marrying, tomorrow I will officially return the marriage book to the Marquis of Taining." ”
Rong Yu was surprised.
Nothing......
She couldn't judge for a while, whether it was Mu Linyuan's noble nature, whether he had come to withdraw from the marriage book, or whether Rong Ying was resourceful and persuaded him......
She asked casually, "What are Mu Gongzi's plans in the future?" ”
was thinking in his heart: If Mu Linyuan plans to leave Beijing, what should Rong Hua do?
She relived her life and tried her best to help Ronghua, not to cause her to lose her life......
Mu Linyuan replied: "Mu has no ambitions, he just wants to travel all over the world, enjoy the rivers and mountains, if he can save a few poor people and discover one or two new medicines, he will have no regrets......
Rong Yu listened casually, and quickly thought about what reason he could use to leave Mu Linyuan behind......
What else can impress a healer in Kyoto?
Healer......
A flash of inspiration occurred in her mind, and she suddenly thought of a major event that would happen after the beginning of spring next year: the prince seeking medical treatment.
After the defeat of Wucheng's three-year northern expedition, the emperor changed the yuan to Youning, and in the winter of the first year of Youning, the news of the prince's illness gradually spread......
It is true that the last famous doctor was invited by Rong Ying for the crown prince, but Mu Linyuan's medical skills are also very exquisite, and he is also Rong Ying's person......
What's more, the prince was already terminally ill, and no famous doctor could save his life......
Rong Yu was thinking about whether to open her mouth and how to speak, when an unusual noise suddenly sounded on the street, and she felt a strong uneasiness in her heart, and was about to go to the street to find out, when pedestrians rushed into the hall and shouted in panic: "Defeated!" Defeated! ”
Defeated?!
All Rong Yu's thoughts were emptied in an instant, and only this thunderous word remained: defeated!
