116 And I saw the beads of the clouds
Shangguan Erya fell silent.
Mama Yang was also very helpless, "The eldest lady just woke up and can't eat too greasy, and now during the national mourning period, you can't kill sheep and pigs, you can only be vegetarian." ”
"It's okay." Shangguan Erya smiled, she was stunned that she had forgotten that the emperor's grandfather had cheated to death.
How she wished she would wake up without conspiracy, and it was still that lovely old man sitting on the throne.
But the emperor can let it go, and she also has to be happy for the old man.
Vegetarianism is also filial piety.
Although it was a table of vegetarian dishes, Shangguan Erya still had a great appetite, and when she saw that Xuanji had something to say, she left him alone to speak.
"What did the investigation come about?"
Xuanji nodded, "My subordinates have seen the household registration and found out that Huanxi did not follow Shangguan Peach since he was a child, but bought Fuzhong a few years ago and climbed from the last maid to the top, and later became a confidant because of Shangguan Tao's love." ”
"And where was she a maid before?"
"I can't find it, but when she entered the mansion, she gave some benefits to the director of the outer courtyard at that time......"
Shangguan Erya raised her eyebrows and looked at the mystery, "What benefits?" ”
Xuanji was a little embarrassed on his face, "At that time, Huanxi was still young, but she was also amazingly beautiful, and it was strange that she became more and more ordinary when she followed Shangguan Zhitao." ”
Shangguan Erya's fingers in the vegetables were paused, and he couldn't help but squint, "I heard Zihan say that the Western Regions often sell dancing girls to the south, and they become beautiful with flowers, and they are used by profiteers. ”
"Yes. Although those dancers are young, they are all beautiful, and they are specially skilled. ”
Xuanji immediately understood, "The eldest lady means ......"
"Let's take a good look from here."
Shangguan Erya didn't mention this again, as if she thought of something, and suddenly asked, "How is Ji Xinian now?" ”
Such top-secret information can only be obtained from the news network of the underground corps.
Xuanji had long expected Shangguan Erya to ask this question, and Zhengse said: "According to our report, the prince and his wife hanged themselves that day, and the King of Qin, the eldest princess and the imperial grandson present all witnessed it with their own eyes. ”
Princess Celestia is the eldest of her siblings, and her mother should be regarded as Ji Han's real wife.
It's just that she died of illness before the founding of the country, and the eldest princess was the only child at that time.
But she was slashed in the abdomen by the enemy on the battlefield that year, and she has never had an heir.
Even so, the eldest princess has never resented anyone, and even asked for no marriage in her life.
The emperor felt indebted to her, and told everyone in public that no one was allowed to embarrass her, and he also gave her a gold medal for avoiding death.
Whether it is the king of Qin or the crown prince, or the king of the south in the fiefdom, the eldest princess has taken care of her, and even the queen concubine of the harem respects her a little.
"The imperial grandson is now recuperating in the princess's mansion, but our people say...... The imperial grandson was very ill. ”
Xuanji looked at Shangguan Erya's expression carefully, only to see her nod lightly and say indifferently: "I know." ”
After speaking, Shangguan Erya continued to bow her head and drink porridge.
Seeing that she was not unusual, Xuanji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, only the eldest lady could be as calm as ever.
Even if he didn't say it in detail, Shangguan Erya knew what was already in chaos outside.
Overnight, Nanliang changed hands, the emperor died, the prince hanged himself, and the grandson fell ill, so he could only rely on the king of Qin.
King Qin's chess game is also beautiful, and the people who don't know what to do will only sing praises to him, and they can't say anything wrong.
This is the method of the high-ranking people, playing the country and the people in the moment of applause.
But who knows...... The real arranger is the imperial grandson.
It was he who put the King of Qin on the throne and pushed him to the previous dynasty to deal with the problems left over from the founding of the country to the present.
As Ji Xinian said, whether King Qin can be stable or not is still two words.
Shangguan Erya finished eating slowly, and when she saw that the weather was good, she asked Qingwei to change into a plain skirt.
Qingwei saw that she was in good spirits, and said with a smile: "Is Miss going to the garden to enjoy the plums?" ”
Shangguan Erya smiled, "No, go visit Second Miss." ”
Qingwei was stunned, but she didn't disdain it as unintentionally as before, she just said, "I'm afraid that the second lady won't let me see it." ”
"That's not up to her."
Shangguan Erya was very satisfied with Qingwei's performance just now, and she had really gotten the results of sending her to the county lord's mansion as a supervisor before.
Qingwei's liveliness is an advantage, but you need to be calm when facing things.
After changing her clothes, Shangguan Erya only took Qingwei to the Taiping Garden where Shangguan Yunzhu lived.
Before she got closer, Qingwei saw two servants with big shoulders and round waists standing at the gate of the garden, and she whispered to Shangguan Erya: "Miss, the slave will open the door for you." ”
Shangguan Erya nodded, and let Qingwei deal with it.
Qingwei got the approval, smiled and stepped forward to the two mothers-in-law and said, "The two grandmothers have worked hard, this is the reward given to you by our county lord." ”
The two mothers-in-law were not very happy about this kind of errand, not to mention that there was no oil and water to fish, but now they immediately smiled when they saw the eldest lady so generous.
"It's still the eldest lady who is considerate." The two mothers-in-law also accepted it politely.
Shangguan Erya walked closer and didn't speak, just smiled.
Qingwei continued: "Our eldest lady wants to visit the second miss, I don't know if the two grandmothers can make it convenient. ”
"This ......," one of the mothers-in-law hesitated, "the princess has an explanation and does not let people enter at will." Even Aunt Ye asked the princess to go in twice. ”
Qingwei was not angry when she saw this, and said with a smile: "I know that the princess asked you to guard here, but it is also to prevent the second lady from losing her mind and running out crazy, our county lord and the second lady are sisters, and they have not been able to study in the martial arts academy before, and now they are finally coming back to visit, otherwise they will have to put their beaks when they go out, and our princess will teach that there is no harmony between the sisters, and this word will reach the ears of the princess, and she knows that the county lord has come to you but stopped you, and in the end it will only be the two grandmothers who will be blamed." ”
Another mother-in-law was clever and hurriedly poked the person next to her, "We can't be stupid, this young lady is right, and besides, the county lord is the most amicable to people." ”
Harmony?
It should be cowardice.
Shangguan Erya raised her eyebrows almost invisibly, she didn't dare to speak up when she was bullied by her subordinates in the past.
She didn't say a word, but Qingwei had a little disgust, and her face was angry, "This grandmother is right, isn't it possible that you just don't lose your temper when you see the county lord treating people and bullying her?" You have the order of the princess, the county lord will not be embarrassed with you, then we will personally go to invite the princess, the princess will definitely not disagree with the county lord to enter, and then invite the two grandmothers to do their own thing. ”
Saying that, she invited Shangguan Erya to go with her, and the mother-in-law behind her immediately shouted: "Oh, this sister has tormented the old slaves, where do we dare to offend the county lord, who doesn't know that the princess loves her the most." ”
The mother-in-law who said the wrong thing bowed to Shangguan Erya and knelt down, "The county lord doesn't need to invite the princess, please come in." ”
She also thought clearly, so many pairs of eyes watched Shangguan Erya go in, could it be that she could still harm her own sister?
Besides, these two sisters will marry a husband sooner or later, and there is nothing wrong with getting closer.
After all, Shangguan Erya is the county lord, and it will not end well if he offends everyone.
Shangguan Erya smiled lightly, and took the lead in stepping into the threshold, and heard Qingwei smile behind him again: "Just now I was in a hurry and asked the two grandmothers to forgive me, today's matter The county lord will never tell outsiders, as long as it can't be passed on to the princess, the two grandmothers are doing their best." ”
She took out two more ingots of silver and rewarded them before she ran forward, and saw Shangguan Erya give a big thumbs up, "Enwei and Shi, Qingwei, you have grown, I am very pleased." ”
"The eldest lady values the slave so much, the slave will definitely not let you down." Qingwei was very happy to be complimented.
They didn't walk fast, and they could still hear the voices of the two mothers-in-law behind them, "Even the maid next to the county lord is extraordinary, enough to see that the county lord is even more of a dragon and phoenix among people, but it's a pity to marry ......"
Qingwei frowned dissatisfiedly, this matter has always been a taboo for everyone in Jialiyuan, although the eldest lady doesn't mind, but as long as she thinks of what kind of person Ning Lei is, she will be upset about it.
However, she believes that the eldest lady must have a way to turn things around!
Qingwei shook her head, not caring about the discussion behind her, and followed closely by Shangguan Erya's side.
As soon as you enter the Taiping Garden, you can smell a foul smell.
Even Shangguan Erya couldn't stand it, and when she walked straight to the door, there was a maid standing in front of the house in the courtyard, and when she saw her, she immediately came over to salute.
"Slave Wu'er, I've seen the eldest lady."
"Wu'er, what's the smell in this yard?"
Shangguan Erya glanced at the house when she asked, and she didn't mind that Wu'er deliberately blocked herself at the door and didn't let her in.
Wu'er leaned over, and said in a weak mosquito voice: "If you go back to the eldest lady, yes...... Be...... Second Miss's Toilet. ”
Qingwei thought of this kind of pickled thing, and the eldest lady was inconvenient to ask, so she hurriedly spoke: "Then why didn't you brush it clean?" The smell is so strong, like it hasn't been washed for days. ”
Wu'er sighed: "No one comes to empty the toilet, and I can't clean it by myself, so I can only pile it in the firewood room after the toilet is full, and please don't be surprised." ”
No wonder there was no one else after entering the courtyard, and she was the only one who listened to Wu'er's tone.
The voice was slightly louder, and the people in the room seemed to hear the movement, and raised their voices to ask, "Wu'er, who is it!" ”
The voice was shrill and harsh, and some of the grass and trees were sensitive.
"Yes......"
Before Wu'er could answer, Shangguan Erya stepped into the inner room first.
Before she got closer, she smiled and said, "Sister, I'm here to see you." ”
Wu'er was so frightened that she hurriedly wanted to follow up, Qingwei grabbed her hand and said coldly: "The eldest lady hasn't seen her sister for a long time, presumably the masters have a lot of things to say, we don't need to go in and serve." ”
"Sister...... Said yes. Wu'er bit her lower lip and didn't resist.
Inside the house, Shangguan Erya picked up a corner of the dusty curtain, and saw that the room was full of messes, and a haggard woman sat on the bed and leaned against the wall.
"It turned out to be my sister, I've been waiting for you for a long time......"
