Chapter 26: Leveraging Strength
Before noon, the mother-in-law at the second gate came to report that the eldest girl and aunt had returned. Zhu Yuyi went to the garden for a long time, and was talking with Zhu Yuyan with Pei's family, and when she heard this, she pursed her mouth, which probably meant that she called someone to invite, and she would only come back at this time, if she hadn't sent someone to invite, wouldn't she have come back today?
After a while, a voice like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley came from the courtyard, "Is Mother in the house?" ”
The maid replied, "Yes, the eldest lady is waiting for the eldest girl!" ”
Zhu Yuyi hurriedly looked towards the door, Zhu Yuyan and Pei also stopped talking, the curtain at the door was opened, and a sound of footsteps came, and then, the screen at the door bypassed people, led by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old woman, who was really born with a beautiful face, a palm-sized face, picturesque eyebrows, black eyes full of aura, a small nose, red lips, and eyes turned around the room, and he already knew it, and came forward, and after saluting Pei, he asked with a smile, "Mother, Where are these guests coming from afar? Don't know what to call it? ”
Zhu Yuyan hurriedly got up to meet Zhong Qianna, for her, Zhong Qianna's face, she couldn't be more familiar, in her previous life, in Xiao Dingquan's harem, she was really fat and thin, which one is not a beauty? Even the Rong concubine, who served him in his early years and gave birth to his eldest son, is older than those who entered the palace after they did it, and they still have charm and do not show their old age.
Zhong Jingna was originally given to Xiao Jingyong by the old king, in the previous life, the old king went up early, Xiao Jingyong later had feelings for her, and when Xiao Dingquan succeeded to the throne, in order to consolidate the Yizhou regime, he accepted Zhong Jingna. The Zhong family originally had a daughter and Xiao Dingquan as a concubine, and after Zhong Qianna entered the palace, the aunt and nephew served a husband together, which was unethical, but in the troubled times, who took these things seriously?
Besides, in Xiao Dingquan's harem, there are one or two widows, both of whom are the wives of the former Jiedu, and Xiao Dingquan is particularly willing to wronged himself for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zhong Qianna was born beautiful and gorgeously dressed, although Zhu Yuyi also paid attention to dressing up today, but in front of Zhong Jingna, she was still compared. Since she can't win in beauty, Zhu Yuyi also has something she can be proud of, that is, she is out of the main room.
Zhu Yuyan saw the change in Zhu Yuyi's expression, she took off the bracelet on her wrist and pushed it to Zhong Qianna's wrist, "It's really rude today, because I came in a hurry, I didn't prepare a gift, so it's better not to dislike my sister." ”
"How is this good?" Zhong Qianna glanced at Pei Shi carefully, and Pei Shi smiled, "Yuyan is not much older than you, only a few months, but she is extremely thoughtful, you should learn from her!" ”
"Mother has taught me a lesson!"
Zhong Qianna saluted generously, and with her exquisite appearance, although most of the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the house were from the Pei family, they could see that Zhong Qianna was pleasing to the eye and liked it very much.
Zhu Yuyi suddenly became more and more uncomfortable, and asked, "Sister Graceful, did you go to your uncle's house?" I heard that your uncle's cousin had an accident? Don't know what's going on? ”
"Nothing? My aunt hadn't been there for many days, and I was worried about it, so I temporarily decided to take a look, but there was nothing. Zhong Qianna looked at Zhu Yuyi's words, but actually looked at Pei's words.
Pei Shi knew in his heart that Zhong Qianna was an exceptionally smart child, and she must have known what the He family's cousin had done, and guessed that Zhu Yuyan must have a purpose, so she refused to say more. Pei's request came to Zhu Yuyan's request, and he was very happy to see Zhong Qiannu so knowledgeable, and nodded, indicating that he knew and appreciated it very much.
Zhu Yuyi snorted coldly in her heart, tilted her head, and looked innocent, "Yesterday, my sister and I were on the street, and we met a disciple who was about to reach out to my sister, but Brother Xiao stepped on his arm and broke his arm, that person's surname is He." Sister Curvaceous, I heard that your uncle's family is also surnamed He, I don't know if it's Sister Curvaceous's cousin? ”
If it weren't for the old Wang Shang that her second sister said that she was ready to marry Zhong Qianna to Brother Xiao, Zhu Yuyi felt that maybe she would not have such a great hostility towards Zhong Qianna, but since she had such an experience, how could Zhu Yuyi tolerate Zhong Qianna being better than her?
"I really didn't expect that a person like a fairy with a curvaceous sister would have such a cousin?"
Zhong Qianna's face suddenly turned red, she looked at Zhu Yuyan resentfully, and saw that she was hanging her head, silent, and the tips of her ears were red, which was even more embarrassing than her. Zhong Qianna understood that she was afraid that Zhu Yuyi's words were said by herself, not Zhu Yuyan.
"I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding!" Pei asked Zhong Qianna, "You went to your uncle's house today, how is your cousin?" ”
At the beginning, Zhong Qianna and her aunt were really distressed when they saw the appearance of their uncle's cousin, and they were connected by blood, how could she not be angry? Originally, when she came back, she also wanted to tell her father, who did such a hand, who is so afraid of death in Yizhou?
When this incident happened yesterday, many people in Yizhou saw it with their own eyes, and it was at the door of the largest restaurant in Yizhou, so it was not difficult to check. After it was investigated, He sneered, feeling that this was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Xiao Jingyong, the former hot imperial grandson, now that his life was in danger, he dared to be so rampant.
In the past, Lao Wang wanted to hire Zhong Jingna and Xiao Jingyong as his wife, but Xiao Jingyong refused to live or die because he didn't know Zhong Jingna. He and Zhong Qianna were laughed at at at the time, where are they willing to let go of this opportunity now?
As long as Yizhou Jiedu sends a letter to Beijing, only to say the matter once, and does not mention a word more, the king will be suspicious, is Xiao Jingyong using the topic to play?
As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog!
In an instant, countless thoughts turned in Zhong Qianna's mind, a hundred times and a thousand times, and finally, she bit her lip, "The master of the He family said that he told the eldest young master about a family matter, so he asked his mother to come over and take a look." The person yesterday that Miss Zhu San said was probably another person surnamed He, not necessarily the young master of the He family. ”
Under Pei's torch-like gaze, Zhong Qianna didn't even dare to call her uncle and cousin, she changed her words, and the color on Pei's face was better.
Only then did Zhu Yuyan raise his head and say to Yuyi, "We are going to the capital soon, if this is the case today, my sister will not say it again in the future." ”
"Not bad!" Pei Shi took Zhu Yuyan's words and taught Yuyi in the tone of an elder, "You can't write two 'Zhu' characters in one stroke, your sisters are both prosperous, if your sister's reputation is not good, how good will you be in the future?" I think your mother has taught you these words, but I will only say them in vain! ”
Zhu Yuyi hurriedly got up, didn't dare to fight a word, swallowed her anger, and said "yes".
Zhong Qianna was suddenly extremely surprised, and looked at Zhu Yuyan again, her eyes were full of caution and jealousy, what kind of person her mother was, she couldn't be clearer, she could ask her mother to speak for her, she could only say that Yuyan had been approved by her mother.
How did she do it in just half a day?
