Chapter 31: Well, well, moral compensation

When Yi Xiangxiang left the flower hall, the luncheon was already halfway through, and she had just delayed her work in the attic, so when she returned to the flower hall, it was already time to leave.

Yi Huanhuan's children begged for a hug when they saw their sister Yi Xiangxiang, Yi Xiangxiang was about to hug her, but Yi Lele next to her didn't let her, and she also wanted to hug. Because of their young age, Yi Lele's children do not need to pay attention to the defense of men and women, so they also sit at the same table with Yi Xiangxiang and them in the flower hall where the women are entertained. Yi Xiangxiang looked down and saw that two little troublemakers were about to make trouble, it was just one head and two big, and in the end, for the sake of fairness, she could only let Shumei hug one and Qingxuan hug one.

That's right, the woman in Tsing Yi who just split the table in the attic is Qing Xuan, Yi Xiangxiang didn't want to expose the secret guards around her, just when Qing Xuan arrived, the master and servant gave Yi Ruonan a shock.

"Sister, who is this beautiful sister, why haven't I seen it?" Yi Huanhuan was hugged by Qing Xuan, she didn't recognize her life at all, and asked Yi Xiangxiang happily.

"This is your sister Qingxuan! Looks good, right? Yi Xiangxiang said proudly, as if Qing Xuan's good looks were her handiwork,

"It's good-looking, it's beautiful!" Yi Huanhuan said and touched Qing Xuan's face.

Qing Xuan has become a cold and hard beauty by licking blood from the knife edge over the years, but when she sees her own young lady's sister, it must be full of gentleness, I saw her smile and said, "Slave Miss Xie Jiu praises!" ”

Yi Xiangxiang wanted to say something more, but when she heard that the Huang family invited the ladies who were going to leave to go to the Crescent Lake to visit the garden to eliminate food, and said that drinking tea in the pavilion was wonderful! Yi Xiangxiang immediately sneered when she heard it, and then she took Yi Huanhuan and Yi Lele out of the flower hall and sent them back to her courtyard.

The Lin family didn't know what the Huang family was selling, and they were a little worried; But the Huang family said that if she refused, it would seem that she would not have the demeanor of the main family, so she could only cooperate with the invitation of the ladies and ladies to move. Of course, Lin was mindful on the way to the garden, and as the main mother of the middle feed, her keen intuition told her that there might be something wrong here! But fortunately, nothing happened at that time, so until Yi Xiangxiang told her that Yi Ruonan had designed Wu Feng, she still blamed herself for being too careful.

The Lin family blamed himself for being too careful, but the Huang family was puzzled. The eldest daughter asked her to lead the ladies to the attic, but when she entered, she saw Yi Ruofu standing under the porch, and the attic was clean and clean. In front of many people, Huang didn't want to ask Yi Ruofu, so he could only secretly suppress the doubts in his heart at that time. After she and the other ladies finished shopping in the garden, they hurried to Nanfeng Residence, which is the courtyard where Yi Ruonan lives.

"How? Is it done? Huang walked into Yi Ruonan's inner room without waiting for the maid's report and asked.

At this time, Yi Ruonan had already changed out of her soaked dress and put on a pink veil, and her eyebrows were prominent, even if she didn't apply powder, she was not gorgeous.

The beauty of the Li Dynasty is like a cloud, but there are very few people like Yi Ruonan who are as gorgeous as Yi Ruonan in Tongzhou. Jiang Jingshan is known as the first beauty in Tongzhou, and Yi Ruonan has always been ranked second; And Yi Ruonan is good at calligraphy and painting, and she has the potential to become the first talented woman in Tongzhou, so it's no wonder that she has always wanted to climb up; How can a person with such a posture and talent be willing to remain subservient to others?

Yi Ruonan was sitting in front of the dresser, and the maid Xia He was wiping her hair with a towel, and she shook her head when she heard Huang's question.

"Eh, what can I do? Doesn't it say foolproof? Huang was so anxious that she pulled the veil, it seems that she knows the ins and outs of Yi Ruonan's design.

The light in Yi Ruofu's eyes, who followed Huang's footsteps outside the door, went out in an instant, verifying that her mother was also involved, and she silently withdrew from Nanfeng Residence.

The Huang family here didn't find that he had let his little daughter feel sorry again, and was listening to Yi Ruonan tell her about the things by the Crescent Lake.

Yi Ruonan talked to the Huang family back and forth, but omitted some details, and finally Yi Ruonan said again: "Mother, I will definitely choose the Hou Mansion!" Even if I am a concubine, I will have a place in Nafu in the future! In the future, if my brother succeeds in his studies, I can also help him in Kyoto. ”

Yi Ruonan, who has a set of beautiful words, knows very well that her mother will naturally believe her, and Yi Ruonan will not tell the Huang family about the disadvantages of being a concubine. The Huang family didn't have much knowledge except for fiddling with the second room back house, and they couldn't think about how an aunt could walk outside, let alone that her daughter would be accused of being a concubine, she had already been blinded by the wealth of the Hou Mansion described by Yi Ruonan.

"But your uncle and grandmother will definitely not agree!" Huang did not mention Yi Tangquan because she knew that Yi Tangquan would not care about the marriage of her children, but she knew that Yi Kangwen and Mok would not agree.

Yi Ruonan snorted coldly: "It's not my own grandfather and grandmother, if it really blocks me, it's a big deal to tear my face!" However, she turned around and saw the embarrassment on Huang's face, and immediately changed her words and said: "But I thought about it, if my daughter tears her face with the big house, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you and your younger brothers and sisters to gain a foothold in the Yi family in the future. ”

When Huang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you are still sensible and have a plan in your heart, besides, if you really contradict them, what if your eighth sister doesn't help you?" This is a long-term plan! But then again, does your eighth sister really have that ability? ”

"She doesn't have that ability, and the Lin family also has that ability! Mother don't underestimate the Lin family, she is a woman's family and has opened the Joy Building prosperously, but it is not simple at all! And when Miaoqin entered the Hou Mansion, it must have been the handiwork of the Lin family! Also, Mother guess who I just saw? Yi Ruonan asked.

"Who do you see?" Huang asked curiously.

Yi Ruonan stroked Zhu Hai on the table and said slowly: "It's that Qingxuan, the maid who took Miaoqin's place five years ago and served the eighth sister!" She learned some kung fu somewhere, and now she is by her eighth sister's side. I guess it must have been when Yi Xiangxiang was at the foot of Qishan Mountain that Yi Xiangxiang almost became a ghost under the knife, and the Lin family was scared, so Qingxuan's girl learned martial arts and came back to protect her. ”

"That's fine, it's just a maid who knows a little martial arts!" Huang didn't care.

Yi Ruonan thought of Yi Xiangxiang's ruthlessness at that time, and felt that it was still necessary to remind the Huang family, lest she spoil her own good deeds, so she said: "Mother has nothing to do for the time being, don't provoke the big house, let the second brother also restrain a little, don't steal the limelight with that Yi Luochuan first." And the mother has to keep silent about today's events, otherwise her daughter may not be able to enter the Hou Mansion! ”

"Don't worry, I won't say anything. Aren't they just afraid of the good things of the Wu family and the Cui family? Now that we have the Hou Mansion, what is the Wu family? It's imperative that your grandfather and grandmother nod their heads. ”

"Mother said that I will think of a way!" Yi Ruonan showed an inevitable smile, and in the reflection of the bronze mirror, she looked like a blooming rose.

Here, the Huang family and Yi Ruonan discussed how to persuade the old lady and the old lady, and Yi Xiangxiang had already drunk tea in the Chuanhe Courtyard.

"Wu Gongzi is gone?" Yi Xiangxiang sat in the red sandalwood carved wreath chair, with a soft gold silk brocade cushion on the backrest, she was holding a pastel flower duck pattern plate, a bite of pastries with tea, and asked her brother Yi Luochuan.

can't blame Yi Xiangxiang for not eating, she was serving Yi Huanhuan's children in the first half of the banquet, and she didn't eat in the second half, because she is now so hungry that her chest is close to her back.

Yi Luochuan didn't answer Yi Xiangxiang, because he saw that Yi Xiangxiang was followed by a woman in Tsing Yi in addition to Shumei and Painting. When Yi Xiangxiang and a few people walked in from afar just now, Yi Luochuan didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the woman in Tsing Yi was a very rare Leqi who went out of Yongleju now, because Leqi is now married to a wife, and most of them go back and forth between Yongleju and their own home, and they no longer serve Yi Xiangxiang, but generally take care of things in Yongleju. But what Yi Luochuan didn't expect was that when he took a closer look, he found that the woman in Tsing Yi was Qingxuan, who had been missing for a long time! Yi Luochuan was a little surprised in his heart, he had always thought that Qing Xuan had been poisoned, and he didn't know that Zhou Jiaotou had found people, so he was a little shocked when he saw a slim person now.

"Qing Xuan, please say hello to the third young master!" The big room and the second room are in the same row of teeth, and Qing Xuan calls Yi Luochuan the third young master.

In fact, Qing Xuan had already bowed to salute before, but she found that Yi Luochuan did not answer Yi Xiangxiang's words, but stared at herself, so she deliberately saluted again.

"Oh, get up! Uh, sister, what did you just say? Yi Luochuan was a little embarrassed.

Yi Xiangxiang rarely saw Yi Luochuan embarrassed, it was simply a sweep away the haze brought by Yi Ruonan before, she couldn't help but smile and explained Yi Luochuan's confusion and said: "It's nothing, nothing!" Oh, this Qingxuan...... Qing Xuan went out of the house a few years ago to do some things for me, and now he is back. ”

Yi Xiangxiang did not elaborate on what Qing Xuan did, because Yi Luochuan thought that Qing Xuan was helping Yi Xiangxiang take care of business. Yi Luochuan knew that Yi Xiangxiang now not only had Xile Lou and Yipinxiang, but she also ran other shops, but he didn't ask what it was.

Yi Luochuan touched his nose and nodded to indicate that he understood, he picked up the white glazed cup of Xingyao, took a sip of the tea inside, and asked, "How are you going to deal with this matter today?" ”

Yi Xiangxiang told Yi Luochuan about the two choices she gave Yi Ruonan, and then she said: "Although I asked her to think about it slowly, she will inevitably choose to enter the Hou Mansion." But it can be assured that now that she has a new goal, she will not bite Wu Gongzi, and there will be no more incidents in the short term. ”

"But how are you going to send her to the Hou Mansion? And my sister sent my sister to the Hou Mansion as a concubine, if this is passed out, it will be repaid! Yi Luochuan frowned and said that he did not agree with Yi Xiangxiang's arrangement, for fear of affecting her reputation.

Yi Xiangxiang is very happy, compared to Yi Ruonan's disregard for sister and brother, this brother is really a good brother. She smiled and reassured: "Brother, don't worry, since I said it, there will naturally be a way." And Yi Ruonan has already spent it now, it doesn't hurt to spend some more time, she will find a way to make her reputation beautiful, as long as I wish her a helping hand when the time comes. ”

Yi Luochuan saw that Yi Xiangxiang had a good chest, and knew that she had a plan, so he didn't say anything anymore. Although he doesn't like the second room, he is not as repulsive as Yi Xiangxiang, but now that this big sister has caused trouble for the Yi family, they can't be blamed for being ruthless. Yi Luochuan was a well-read person, and he knew that many of the sins came from the family's home, and he knew that if he couldn't cure the tumor, the only way was to remove it.

"I will appease Wu Feng over there, he has a noble character, and we have been cautious all these years, so we will definitely not be angry." Yi Luochuan said.

Yi Xiangxiang ate the last bite of osmanthus cake and said: "Cheng, I'll ask Leqi to prepare a set of good pen and ink when I go back, brother, you send someone to send it over!" Well...... Just when we give moral compensation fees! ”

Yi Luochuan originally felt that it was not very necessary to give gifts, but after hearing the new word "spiritual compensation", he felt that it made sense, they should give Wu Feng a crush!

"Well, Wu Feng likes the food in Xile Building, and I'll set a table for him to drink with when I turn around!" Yi Luochuan is very up-to-the-point, adding a spiritual compensation.

Yi Xiangxiang looked at her brother's serious look, and could only say, "En, you can!" ”

Yi Xiangxiang didn't stay long in Chuanhe Courtyard before leaving, because Qing Xuan told her that when she and Yi Ruonan were talking in the attic, Yi Ruofu stood outside the window and eavesdropped. Therefore, she must now hurry to comfort the fragile heart of the little girl Yi Ruofu. Yi Xiangxiang thought about it since she came to this ancient world, it was really heartbreaking! Even if you lose money, you can even play the role of a psychiatrist at this time, which is really amazing!

Yi Ruofu sat in her yard, watching the little maids play with the braided flower ropes, and when she saw Yi Xiangxiang coming, she asked everyone to retreat.

Yi Xiangxiang looked at the maids who were leaving one after another and secretly scolded herself, Yi Ruofu, you asked someone to bring me a chair first! But fortunately, the maid in her own house hurt the young lady, and the sensible Shumei brought a Huanghuali circle chair from the house to Yi Xiangxiang, and then retreated to the outside of the courtyard with Qingxuan and Huali.

The three who withdrew excitedly shook each other's hands, and even restrained the sound of cheers. Just now, the three of them were in front of the master, and there were other people there, so it was not good to be too affectionate. At this time, there is a gap, and it is natural to express the joy of meeting again.

Calligraphy and painting are more excited than Qingxuan, they have been taught by Mama Li, Miaoqin, Leqi and Qingxuan since they were children, and their feelings for them are like relatives. But the world is unpredictable, and later Miaoqin climbed into wealth, and Mama Li suffered and died, leaving only Leqi and Qingxuan to teach them. Later, Qing Xuan also left, although the two little maids knew that Qing Xuan was sent out by the young lady, but they have been missing her very much since they separated; At this time, they reunited again, if they weren't afraid of disturbing the conversation between their own young lady and the fifth lady inside, they really wanted to cheer.

Yi Ruofu in the courtyard smiled heartlessly and asked Yi Xiangxiang, "Do you know that I heard it?" Specifically to comfort me? ”

"Otherwise, why do you think I'm coming to your yard? The flowers aren't as beautiful as mine! Yi Xiangxiang is also very compatible with Yi Ruofu's pretense of relaxation.

"What! Look at that rich chrysanthemum! It's much brighter than the one in your yard! Yi Ruofu jumped to her feet and pointed to the dazzling chrysanthemum.

Yi Xiangxiang walked over without saying a word, pinched off the chrysanthemum and said, "Then I'll fold the vase, just match the glaze white jade vase I got before!" ”

Yi Ruofu was stunned and watched Yi Xiangxiang's movements, and then burst out: "Ah! I made the flowers with my own hands! That's how you folded? Folded? She wanted to cry without tears, and she made a gesture to pinch Yi Xiangxiang's neck!

Yi Xiangxiang naturally ran quickly, and said as she ran: "Isn't it just a flower!" If you like me, I'll go back and ask Le Qi to send you a few more expensive pots! Although you didn't grow it yourself, you will have feelings after a long time! Why should you be sad for a flower that has been broken, since the flower is broken, it can only mean that the flower has no fate with you! ”

No matter how stupid Yi Ruofu was, she could hear that Yi Xiangxiang was a metaphor for flowers, she waved her hand and said that she would not chase it, and then sat down again in the chair.

Yi Ruofu took a sip of tea and said: "Actually, I really don't have anything, I have always disliked her, she is good-looking, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and smart, so that her mother listens to her for everything." Since she was a child, she has been a knowledgeable sister, and I am an unruly sister. In fact, we didn't have a good relationship before, she was on peace with me on the surface, but behind the scenes, she often sped anger on me. ”

Yi Xiangxiang also sat down at this time, and she only learned later that Yi Ruonan often criticized Yi Ruofu in the name of respecting her eldest sister; This is also the reason why Yi Ruofu once thought that she was her sister, making it difficult for Yi Ruojiao and Yi Ruofan.

"I can't persuade you anything, she is your sister-in-law after all; Truth be told, I have the illusion of being a bad guy right now. Yi Xiangxiang said helplessly. As the daughter of the big house, it is not good for her to say more about Yi Ruonan, although she really hates Yi Ruonan.

"Eh, you're right, she's my own sister after all. But now, what can I say to her? She won't care what we think! She has always been unconvinced in Kyoto before, thinking that if it weren't for our family's no background, she would also be a famous talented woman from a family, and she would be famous in Kyoto. It's only natural that she has a grudge against us. There's nothing to blame for me, and I don't feel sad that she doesn't care about us, I just hope she can really get what she wants! After all, breaking bones also connects tendons, and I also hope that she is well. But you also know that she is not an ordinary person, I just hope that she will see the reality clearly in the future and no longer threaten the Yi family, otherwise I know that you will also be embarrassed. ”

Yi Xiangxiang sighed, she was so embarrassed! If she hadn't read Yi Ruofu, she would have really cut the thread of Yi Ruonan's time bomb quickly! However, she understands Yi Ruofu, the latter said that it was okay, but this time she must have been sad, otherwise with her character, she would have already settled accounts with Yi Ruonan, and now she is so quiet but her heart is cold. Yi Xiangxiang walked over and reached out to hold Yi Ruofu's hand, wanting to give silent comfort.

However, Yi Ruofu didn't give her a chance, and just listened to her words and ruined the atmosphere: "If you don't send me precious chrysanthemums later, you will die, I will tell you!" ”

Yi Xiangxiang was almost angry, this guy was still serious! She lamented why she was ruined again! On the one hand, let Shumei go to Yongle Ju to find Leqi to send someone to move flowers!

Eh, another sum of mental compensation!

Two girls in the courtyard sat in the sun, and the light mixed them in a soft whirlpool; The purple and red chrysanthemums contained several samples, and one pot after another was sent into Yi Ruofu's yard. Yi Xiangxiang tilted her head and listened to Yi Ruofu's twittering praise, thinking in her heart, this earthly fetters are really indescribable.

......
