A couple of newlyweds visited the church, sent them into the cave room, sat on the bed, picked up a hijab, knotted their hair together, drank the wine, and the bride fed Jiang Qi dumplings, "Bride, do you have a baby?" โ
Jiang Qi said with a shy smile: "Raw." โ
The dowry girl rushed outside and said loudly: "Birth, birth." โ
The people outside the room laughed, "Husband and wife are loving, and they give birth to a noble son early." โ
After these ceremonies in the new house are over, Zhang Weide will go outside to toast, "I'll go back when I go." โ
Zhang Weide went out, and the bride said a few pleasing words, and then retreated, and the bridal girl went out to ask for hot water; Jiang Qi sat upright on the bed, his eyes lowered and looked at the clasped hands.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Yan Hagi crossed the threshold with some difficulty, followed by two maidservants carrying food boxes.
Jiang Qi raised his head and smiled, "Xiaoxiao." โ
"Sister-in-law is hungry, I'm here to deliver food." Yan Hao said with a smile, it was the sister-in-law who gave the bride food, Zhang Weide did not have a sister, and there was no suitable one in the Zhang family; The king of Dongning County has three daughters, but all of them are concubines. The British duchess, a well-known jealous woman in Kyoto, does not say that she rejects concubines, but she definitely doesn't like them very much, and it is impossible to promote them. So the heavy task of delivering food to the bride can only be handed over to Yan Hao.
Jiang Qi ate six small rice balls in the morning, and now he is so hungry that his chest is close to his back, and Yan Hao sent the food in, which is simply timely rain; Jiang Qi is also full of gratitude to the British duchess, you must know that not every mother-in-law is so careful that she will prepare food for her new daughter-in-law. It's not that the mother-in-law is deliberately starving the new daughter-in-law, but the mother-in-law is too busy to take care of it.
At this time, the bridal girl who asked for hot water also came, waiting for Jiang Qi to take off the heavy phoenix crown, take off the red wedding dress, wash her face, and change into a light coat. Yan Hagi had already instructed the maid to put the food on the table, "Sister-in-law, come and eat." โ
Jiang Qi walked over and sat down at the table, and saw six small dishes and a bowl of red japonica rice on the table; The six dishes are: braised shrimp balls, chicken wings in honey sauce, beef fillet with bean curd, steamed osmanthus fish, crispy pigeon and lily lotus seed soup; Not only does it mean good, but it is also Jiang Qi's favorite food.
"Xiaoxiao, thank you." Jiang Qi said with a smile.
"No thanks, no thanks, these are all prepared by my aunt, I just ran an errand." Yan Hagi smiled on his back.
Of course, Jiang Qi knew that this was her mother-in-law's arrangement, and asked with a smile, "Do you want Xiaoxiao to eat with your sister-in-law?" โ
"No, no, sister-in-law, you eat slowly, I'll go out first." Yan Hagi took the maidservant and left.
After eating the wedding wine of the British Mansion, the weather was even colder, Yan Hagi was weak, couldn't stand the cold, and fell ill again; Yan Qian looked in the direction of Yi Nian Courtyard and said hatefully: "It's better to die of illness." โ
Qiu Yan happened to come over with a food box, and when she heard it, she saw Yan Qian's hideous face again, and she couldn't help but shudder. In the evening, Qiu Yan went to the needlework room to get the fabric and met Ai Ye, and when she saw that there was no one around, she told her about Yan Qian cursing Yan Hao.
Ai Ye gritted her teeth in anger, returned to the courtyard, and said to Licorice: "Miss Six is really bad, Miss is just sick from the cold, so she cursed Miss." โ
"The bad spirit, the good spirit, she is not speaking, it is Wang Ba chanting the scriptures." Although Licorice is also angry, now is not the time to deal with Yan Qian.
Yan Hagi didn't get sick as Yan Qian wished, she drank the medicine for more than ten days, and slowly got better; It's just this disease, a little bit of flesh that has grown, and the disease is gone, and I have lost a lot of weight, and I only have a small face the size of a palm, and my chin is so sharp that it can be used as an awl. So the county lord of Nanping, who felt sorry for his daughter, didn't let her go out, and Yan Hagi began to spend the winter at home in October, and he didn't even go to school.
Although Yan Hagi didn't go to school, he practiced calligraphy very obediently every day, on this day, Yan Hagi had just practiced for a while, and heard the maidservant girl outside say: "Slave maid please the fourth young master, please say hello to the sixth young master, please say hello to Miss Qiao, please say goodbye to the ninth young master." Yan Tongliang's arm was already healed, but Qiao Huaiqing still ran to Yan's house every day.
Yan Hagi put down his pen and saw Yan Tongming, who was wearing a blue cotton robe, walking in first, "Little sister, guess what Brother Jiu brought you in?" โ
Yan Hagi took a deep breath, smelled a rich sweet fragrance, and said with a smile: "It's roasted sweet potato!" โ
"Little sister is so smart, you guessed right!" Yan Tongming took out the oiled paper bag from behind him and put it on the table.
Yan Tongzhu, Yan Tongliang and Qiao Huaiqing walked in, Yan Tongming had already opened the oil paper package, blew and made one of the roasted sweet potatoes, broke them in half, blew a few mouthfuls, and came to Yan Hao's mouth, and said, "Little sister, it's a little hot, you take a small bite." โ
The golden, soft, and hot roasted sweet potatoes are so attractive.
Yan Hagi opened his mouth and took a small bite, it was really hot, he opened his mouth wide and sighed, while fanning the wind with his hand. Seeing this, Yan Tongming hurriedly leaned over to help her blow.
The lord of Nanping is a noble daughter of the palace, and she pays attention to "color, fragrance, and taste" in eating, and she raises her daughter exquisitely, and this kind of coarse food such as sweet potatoes will never let her daughter eat, Yan Hagi has eaten roasted sweet potatoes for the first time in her six years of life, "delicious, and, more." โ
"Fourth brother, I just said, my little sister must love to eat, you still don't believe it." Yan Tongming fed Yan Hagi another bite, "Little sister eat slowly, and Brother Nine will buy it for you in a few days." โ
Yan Hagi said happily: "Okay." โ
"Eating this sweet potato is good for the body, but if you eat too much, there will be indecent things, so it's better not to eat more." Yan Tongzhu is a few years older, and he is more thoughtful; If you eat too much food like sweet potato, you will fart.
"I don't eat that much, I eat a little bit." Yan Hagi smiled up, she didn't want to fart in public and make a fool of herself.
The four brothers and sisters and Qiao Huaiqing shared the sweet potatoes, and when they saw that Yan Hao's mouth was darkened, Yan Tongzhu called the maidservant to bring hot water in and help Yan Hao wash it up, and then left the Yi Nian Pavilion with his two younger brothers and Qiao Huaiqing.
In the afternoon of the next day, Ai Ye walked into the warm pavilion and said to Yan Hao, who was practicing calligraphy: "Miss, the ticket is in hand." โ
Yan Hagi put the pen away, "Take it to me and take a look." โ
Ai Ye took out the pawn ticket and handed it to Yan Hao; Yan Hagi looked at it, "Find a way to send it to the eldest lady." "The eldest aunt is the head of the house, so it's better for her to check this matter, so don't bother the grandmother.
It is not difficult to send the pawn ticket to Mrs. Yan, but when Mrs. Yan saw the pawn ticket, her face was very ugly, so she sent her henchmen to Yongxing to investigate. Just like Yan Hao said, as long as you make a move, there will be traces, and Mrs. Yan quickly found out that the person who went to face her was Chunjuan Niang.
"It's hard to guard against house thieves day and night." Mrs. Yan thought that Chunjuan stole Yan Xiang's head and took it out, but she didn't expect that Yan Qian wanted to be it.
Mrs. Yan tactfully hinted to Mrs. Yan San, asking her to help control the people around Yan Qian, so as not to let Yan Xiang be taken badly; However, Mrs. Yan's attention was distracted by other things, and besides, she originally ignored her second daughter, and she didn't care after hearing Mrs. Yan's words.
Mrs. Yan saw that Mrs. Yan had not moved, so she had no choice but to find an excuse to catch Chunjuan Niang, and sent her mother-in-law to Juyun Pavilion, "Miss Six, Chunjuan Niang's hands and feet are not clean, she stole the fabric of the needlework room, and Mrs. Yan asked Chunjuan to go and ask questions together." โ
Yan Qian didn't doubt that he had him, so he let Chunjuan go.
As soon as Chunjuan entered the west wing of the chamber, she was kicked to her knees by her mother-in-law. Mrs. Yan threw the pawn ticket in front of her, "You are so bold, the master trusts you and lets you manage the jewelry and money, and you actually guard and steal from yourself." โ
"Slave slave no slave slave no Chunjuan shook her head desperately.
"No?" Mrs. Yan sneered, "If you didn't steal property, where would your two younger brothers get the money to go to school?" Where did your mother get the money to do business? โ
"It's the sixth lady's reward." Chunjuan was telling the truth, but how could Mrs. Yan believe it.
"The red gold head noodles are worth six hundred taels, and the six girls are just such a set, she will never reward you with red gold heads. Saying, "Where is the rest of the silver taels?" "Mrs. Yan sent someone to search Chunjuan's house, but only found about 20 taels of silver.
Chunjuan Niang replied: "Miss Six rewarded Chunjuan with fifty taels of silver, and Miss Six took the rest of the silver." โ
"It seems that you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. beat the board until they confessed. Mrs. Yan said in a deep voice.
"Big lady, the slave is not lying, the slave is true." Chunjuan Niang is going to cry to death, and the dream of changing the lintel is too short.
Chunjuan was beaten to a blur of flesh and blood, "Big lady, it is the meaning of Miss Six in front of you, and all the silver slaves and maids in front of you have been handed over to Miss Six." โ
Mrs. Yan saw that she never changed her words, and believed her words a little, but Yan Qian, a young lady raised in the deep boudoir, did not go out of the door, did not lack food and clothing, what did she want so much silver? "Why does Miss Six have to face it? Did you smuggle it? โ
"It's not a slave who is smuggling, Miss Six......" Chunjuan didn't dare to tell the truth, she wanted to say that Yan Qian was to harm Yan Hao, and Mrs. Yan would definitely ask Yan Xiang; Yan Qian will never admit it, and then she will have one more charge of framing her master.
"What is Miss Six going to do with so much silver?" Mrs. Yan asked.
"The slave maid doesn't know, Miss Six didn't tell the slave maid." Chunjuan burst into tears.
Although Chunjuan did not steal the master's head to be the head, she couldn't condone the fact that she helped the master to be the head; Chunjuan failed to return to Yan Xiang on an errand, and the family was sold to the northwest by Mrs. Yan.
Getting rid of Chunjuan is exactly the intention of Yan Hagi to let Qiuyan steal the pawn ticket. If Yan Qian is a poisonous snake, then the spring cuckoo is the sharp teeth of this snake, and if the sharp teeth are removed, the poisonous snake will not be able to succeed.
Mrs. Yan asked people to go to the pawnshop to redeem the set of heads, in Ai Ye's place, death cannot be redeemed, but in the hands of the powerful, there is no distinction between death and life. Mrs. Yan put her head and face into a brocade box and instructed her henchmen, "Send this to Miss Six, you don't have to say anything." โ
The maid sent the brocade box to the Juyun Pavilion according to her words, Yan Qian opened the box, and saw that it was the red gold head that she had lost, her face changed slightly, and she finally knew why Chunjuan was sold. What happened to her in front of her was known to the eldest aunt!
But this thing is done so secretly, how did the eldest aunt know? Could it be that there is someone in this courtyard who is installed by the eldest aunt? Yan Qian suddenly became suspicious, she was in a hurry to check the people around her, and she didn't have time to think about how to harm Yan Hagi for the time being.
