Chapter 1: The Li Family's Request to See
The snow outside was falling one after another, and the entire Yuzhou City seemed to be plunged into a piece of silver, which was the cold winter wax moon season. Yun Zi pushed open the window, the peach branches outside the window had accumulated a layer of snow, heavy, pressed branches a few points lower, the cold wind hit, Yun Zi couldn't help shivering, closed the window, "It's so cold" Yun Zi thought.
Yun Zi's mother loved peach blossoms, and Yun Zheng ordered people to plant peach trees in every yard of Yunfu. Yun Zi was also able to learn the craft of peach blossom winemaking.
The charcoal in the red clay stove is burning, the breath in the study is warm, Bing Yu motioned to the little maid to heat a pot of peach blossoms brewed by Miss herself, picked up the small porcelain cup on the table, poured the wine into the cup, the wine rippled slightly in the small porcelain cup, swaying out a trace of fragrance, the fragrance of pear blossoms contains the fragrance of wine is particularly soft, Bing Yu looked at his own lady with some distress, "Miss, you are still checking the accounts, the weather is cold, drink some hot wine to warm up your body before doing it." ”
Yun Zi put down the Zihao in his hand, took it with a smile, "It's okay", looked up and saw the little girl's disapproving eyes, and quipped, "It seems that it is really my Yu girl who is the most distressed about your young lady, and I know that it is cold, so I am busy sending my favorite pear blossom brew" and laughed as he spoke.
"Miss likes to laugh at slaves", Bingyu's ice-like face turned a little red, turned around and pushed the door out.
"Bingbing, I feel so sorry for my master, I don't see you feel sorry for me, I can have one-tenth, I'm so hurt!" Hua Ying stopped Bingyu with a smile, and made a heart-warming appearance of Xizi and quipped.
"You are so decent, what is there to feel sorry for!" Bing Yu slapped his hand away, glanced at her, coldly dropped such a sentence, and walked away.
Hua Ying looked at her back in a daze for a moment, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a wry smile.
In the study, Yun Zi chuckled and shook her head, Bingyu This girl has a cold face all day long, which makes her can't help but have a teasing mind when she sees it, in fact, it is now lively, and her temperament was much colder than now.
Reminiscing about those years...... Yun Zi's smile gradually narrowed
The Yun family is in the rouge business, when he was ten years old, his parents received a big order, in order to be safe, the husband and wife personally went to the Southern Dynasty to escort them, but on the way, they were frightened and both fell off the cliff and died.
Since that year, Yun Zi, as the only daughter in the family, can no longer be the pampered carefree little princess of the Yun family, and has taken on the burden of continuing the Yun family.
Ten-year-old Yun Zi knew very little about the world and did not know how to do business. Fortunately, there is the housekeeper Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong is the closest and most trusted person of the Yun family couple, and he is very familiar with the business of the Yun family.
It was only at this time that Yun Zi began to know about the existence of Bingyu and Hua Ying. Bingyu and Hua Yingyuan are the secret guards trained by Yunzi's father, Yunqi, to protect the young girl, and the two of them are selected by Yunqi through layers of selection and various strict training, and they have their own expertise.
Bing Yu is good at hidden weapons, and Hua Ying is good at treating poison. The Yun family was unmanned, and it was difficult for the little girl to deter those who had ill intentions, so Uncle Zhong transferred the two of them to the bright place, and transferred a group of guards with high martial arts skills to protect Yun Zi's safety, so as to eliminate the thoughts of some people who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob.
When I first saw Bingyu, Bingyu was a cold face like the cold ice of the moon, and there was a murderous aura around her body, which was in line with her identity as a secret guard. On the other hand, Hua Ying, she looked at a soft and good-tempered appearance, tall, with delicate eyebrows, bright eyes and bright teeth, and two shallow pear vortices when she smiled, which was quite a bit of a small jasper.
It's been three years, Yun Zi always feels that her parents' fall off the cliff is not just a simple accident, over the years, she has also been investigating the things of the year, but she has not found any clues of artificial frame-up.
Yun Zi was so confused that her hand slipped, and the small porcelain cup fell with a crisp sound, waking her up who was immersed in memories, "Hongshang, come in." "Yes" The red dress at the door came in, cleaned up the broken porcelain cups and the wine stains on the ground, and retreated.
A gust of cold air brought in, and Hua Ying was already standing in the study, with falling snow on her cloak, "Miss! ”
Yun Zi got up suddenly, but Hua Ying was scared to take a few steps back, Miss has always been steady and dignified, and she has never been so gaffe. Yun Zi suddenly reacted when she saw Hua Ying's movements, and then sat back in front of the case, "How is the investigation?" ”
Hua Ying stabilized her mind and replied, "The Bai family doesn't seem to have a motive and hasn't found any evidence."
Yun Zi frowned, this kind of result was also expected, she just saw the words "with the Bai family" from one of her father's records of business transactions, but did not elaborate on the cause of the conflict, and how to solve it in the end, or whether it was resolved, so she ordered Hua Ying to investigate the Bai family.
Tomorrow is the death day of his parents, Yun Zi put aside the account books and some booklets approved by the branches, and rested early, definitely not letting his parents see his haggard face under Jiuquan again, and disturbing them not to feel at ease.
Early in the morning, Yun Zi got up early, freshened up under the service of the red clothes, boarded the carriage, and rushed to the outskirts of the city.
"Stop" Yun Zi's voice came out of the carriage, and it was better not to get too close, so as not to disturb their Qingning.
Yun Zi personally put the fruit bowl, desserts, dishes, and other offerings on the table and burned incense. After the screen went to the next person, Yun Zi knelt in front of the grave, and tears slipped down, "Father, mother, Ah Zi has come to see you." With Uncle Zhong's help, Ah Zi can also take care of the Yun family's property very well, and you must be able to be much more relieved, but I can't hear you praise Ah Zi with your own ears. After kneeling quietly for a long time, Yun Zi wiped away the tears on his face, adjusted his expression as before, and slowly walked to the carriage, it was time to go home.
In the pavilion of Yunfu, Yun Zi holds a white child on his right, and his slender and slender fingers shine with a delicate luster in the sun, which is delicate like a fine mutton fat jade. After playing white, he picked up the black piece again, pondered for a moment, didn't know how to fall, frowned, it was still too difficult to play chess with himself.
The lotus pond in winter is inevitably lonely, the lake is calm and waveless, cold and deserted, the pond is sparsely withered lotus, the dead leaves are yellow, and the head is lowered languidly. It could have been removed by a subordinate. But Yun Zi feels that these four seasons have their own style, Xia Lotus has the swaying posture of Xia Lotus, and Winter Lotus also has its own unique artistic conception of Winter Lotus, and there is no need to destroy this beauty that is not very appreciated by the world, and this pool of dry lotus remains.
After all, the wind by the pool was colder than elsewhere, and when the cold wind blew, Yun Zi couldn't help but shiver, and casually picked up the cloak that was placed on the side and draped it.
"Miss, someone from the Li family in the capital has come to ask to see you." A little maid came over to report.
The Li family? Yun Zi thought about it carefully, she didn't have much intersection with the Li family, but the Li family's housewife and her mother had a very close personal relationship when they were not out of the cabinet, and they also had some origins. Either way, it's always a matter of checking it out.
"Yes," the little maid bowed and withdrew.
