Chapter 508: Trouble
Aunt Caifeng's body trembled slightly.
What a familiar voice! A little brutal, a little tricky, and more, but flattering and sweet.
Since she was a girl, Yan Shuyu has spoken in this voice, as if she is being coquettish to people all the time, and the ears of those who listen to it are itchy.
If you didn't know her before, or if you've never hated her, it's a beautiful sound. But if you have been deceived by her, deceived, lost, or abandoned, you will feel that this voice is really terrible.
Aunt Caifeng's body trembled slightly, as if she had returned to the time when she was serving Aunt Hai.
"Slave maid to meet the queen." Aunt Hai knelt on the ground and kowtowed, trembling for a while, and she couldn't even hold a handkerchief. Yan Shuyu's people were able to intercept her in this place, and they must have been following her for a long time, so when she went to Yan Qingge's place before, she must have been seen clearly.
Yan Shuyu dislikes Yan Qingge, and she knows best how much she has been watching the two sisters fight from childhood to adulthood, and now, she is afraid that she will be finished.
There was no light in the house, but the gloom on Yan Shuyu's body was like substance, penetrating into the air, making Aunt Caifeng tremble, and she couldn't wait to kowtow and beg for mercy.
"What's in my aunt's package?" Yan Shuyu's slightly mocking voice came.
"Yes...... It's a little bit of silver. Aunt Caifeng didn't dare to hide it and replied.
"Open it and show it to Hongu." Yan Shuyu said.
Aunt Caifeng gritted her teeth, trembling and untied the drawstring tied to the mouth of the jacket, revealing a pile of small silver ingots inside, each weighing ten taels, exactly thirty.
"Whew!" A timid voice came out of Yan Shuyu's mouth: "Is this what my sister rewarded you?" Even if you send it to Hanako, it won't be so poor and sour. Auntie, are you satisfied? Yan Shuyu said as she stretched out her crested boots and tossed the pile of silver lightly, as if they were a pile of garbage.
"The nobleman has something to give, but the slave and maid dare not ...... Don't dare to refuse. Aunt Caifeng was shocked and frightened, and there was a faint anger in the depths of her heart.
Obviously, it was she Yan Shuyu who caused her to go to Yan Qingge's door to beg like a flower child, what qualifications did she have to laugh at herself. Even if Yan Qingge sent her to call Huazi, he gave her three hundred taels of silver, what did Yan Shuyu give her?
"Auntie is complaining about me?" Yan Shuyu asked in a delicate voice, with a hint of coldness in her voice: "Auntie, you are too anxious." It's just that I couldn't see a return for a while, so I went to find my sister. Now, do you regret it or not? ”
Caifeng didn't know how to say it, shook her head for a while, and begged dryly: "Niangniang, the slave doesn't mean that, it's just that the family really can't eat." ”
"Tell me what my sister is doing." Yan Shuyu said coldly.
"The eldest lady and Ning Wang Ye were having a barbecue in the garden at home, and the slave didn't dare to disturb it, so she came out after meeting the eldest lady." Caifeng said honestly.
Yan Shuyu's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
Now the whole Great Zhou is eventful, although the news of the emperor's serious illness has not spread, but in fact, it is no longer a big secret, and there are bursts of undercurrents surging in the court and the family, and everyone is very uneasy.
Once the emperor dies and the new monarch is established, the upper echelons of the entire Great Zhou will be reshuffled once. Yan Shuyu's position as the queen was originally unjustifiable, and she was pregnant with a bad seed in her stomach that she didn't know whether it was good or bad. She had been worrying about sleepless days and nights, and she had never had an hour when she could sleep completely with her eyes closed.
But her sister-in-law is still in the mood to barbecue and have fun, she can't bear it!
Bursts of hatred and jealousy churned in Yan Shuyu's heart, why did she live such a precarious life, but Yan Qingge could be so leisurely and comfortable.
Obviously, when she was a child, she was the most pampered, but since she returned to the capital when she was six years old, everything has changed! It's all to blame for her, the sister-in-law, who is getting in the way.
Yan Shuyu's nails buckled into her palm, pressing out a layer of bright red crescents.
"Since there is barbecue, is there any wine on their table?" Yan Shuyu asked.
Aunt Caifeng recalled that she was very impressed by the dazzling array of plates and plates, but she didn't remember that there was wine, but there was a beautiful pink flower dew in a small glass jar on the table, which was very conspicuous.
Seeing Aunt Caifeng shaking her head, Yan Shuyu showed a sneer: "I guessed that there was no wine!" ”
Eating barbecue is suitable for drinking, and Yan Qingge has such a good relationship with Ling Xiao, who opened the wine shop, but there is no wine on her table, which makes Yan Shuyu confirm her guess: The wine shop opened by Ling Xiao must have a ghost! The Ling family is also an old aristocratic family, if she can catch the Ling family's little tail, she will have another help.
Aunt Caifeng didn't know what was going on, Yan Shuyu waved her hand and said, "You must not tell anyone about what I saw you today." Go down! Also, if you have anything to do in the future, go to Ning Wangfu more often, and tell me what you see and hear. ”
Aunt Caifeng's heart was cold, Yan Shuyu was using her as a spy. If Yan Qingge knew, she wouldn't have to live at all.
Lowering her head and pushing down, Aunt Caifeng's heart was heavy. She was fortunate to Yan Songnian at that time, and after becoming the aunt of the Yan family, she thought that she would have no worries about food and clothing in this life, but the good days didn't take long, and the bad days followed. Now she is not as stable as when she was a maid.
Yan Qingge didn't know at all that Yan Shuyu was using Aunt Caifeng to inquire about her.
When she was pregnant with this child, she always felt sleepy, had a fever from time to time, was exhausted all day, and couldn't take medicine casually.
Ouyang Shaoming came to show her twice, and only told her to eat more meat and supplements on weekdays.
The reason why she was not pregnant well this time, Ouyang Shaoming also said, was because she had worked too hard in the past few years, and she was empty inside, and conceiving a child was already a great burden on women, and she would be frequently uncomfortable when her health was already bad. But as long as it is properly conditioned, it will not cause any major problems.
But in the mouth of the mother-in-law in the house, this is not the case.
"Mother, I see, your baby is guaranteed to be a boy! It is said that girls love their mothers, and when they are pregnant, they should have more peace and more peace. It's different when you're pregnant with a boy, it's really tight! We will soon have more young masters in our house. Mrs. Chen, who came to deliver the chicken soup, laughed and said to Yan Qingge.
Yan Qingge shook her head helplessly, she was pregnant twice before, Yuan Sheng and Aman were both boys, but they were not as uncomfortable as when they were pregnant this time, in the final analysis, it was her own poor health.
This Mrs. Chen's family are all refugees she has taken in, this mother-in-law is a cool person, and she knows a few words, she is very simple, although Yan Qingge doesn't care if it's a boy or a girl in her belly, but she is still very grateful to her. After all, in the hearts of most Da Zhou people, the more boys the better.
The chicken soup on the table exudes a faint fragrance, and it contains dried bamboo shoots, mountain delicacies, red dates, wolfberries and old hens, which have been hung in a crockpot overnight, and the thick layer of oil has been skimmed off, leaving only the delicious clear soup and flavorful chicken.
Yan Qingge had just filled a bowl, and Yan Xiuyu took the two children and rubbed them in from outside: "Half of the yard is across the courtyard, and our masters are smelling the fragrance." ”
Yan Qingge sneered: "What a three gluttonous cats! While laughing, he asked the maid to bring out three more bowls of chicken soup.
She didn't have much appetite, but Yan Xiuyu and Ah Man next to her gobbled it up, and even Yan Wan'er ate it very sweetly, and she used half a bowl more.
After eating, Yan Qingge called the people in the sewing room to come and try on the new winter clothes made by the two little ones in the past few days, and the four of them were in harmony.
At this moment, Huaiju hurriedly ran in and said, "Niangniang, Miss Ling reported that someone was making trouble in the embroidery village, and she had to break into our backyard and stop the doorman." ”
Yan Ji Xiuzhuang has been closed for some time, when Yan Qingge was there before, no one went to make trouble, but now there are people making trouble, even Ling Xiao is alarmed, it must not be a trivial matter.
Yan Xiuyu saw Yan Qingge's eyebrows slightly clustered, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'll go and see, you stay at home." Then he beckoned to Aman and Yan Wan'er: "Come with Dad, Dad will take you to the street to play." ”
Ah Man and Yan Wan'er cheered, and one of them took Yan Xiuyu and ran out.
Yan Qingge smiled helplessly and shook his head, a few days after Yan Xiuyu returned home, he completely captured the hearts of a son and a daughter, and turned into a super dad.
Aman ran and shouted, "Dad, you want to ride a big horse!" Yan Xiuyu smiled, grabbed Aman whole, sat down on his left shoulder, and then said to Yan Wan'er: "Do you want Wan'er?" ”
Yan Wan'er is quite beautiful now, her eyes flashed, and she was a little embarrassed: "If you want to go out, Wan'er won't sit!" But if there are no outsiders at home, she will definitely occupy Yan Xiuyu's other shoulder.
Since Yan Xiuyu came back, the house was full of laughter, which made Yan Qingge's heart very warm.
How can a family not have a male host? The more self-reliant Yan Qingge became, the more he realized this. She can rely on her own efforts to replace many things that only men can do, but the meaning of father and mother to children is completely different.
In the afternoon, Yan Xiuyu came back and said, "It's nothing, that person said that there was a problem with the embroidery that the embroidery was sold before." I asked him to take it out and look at it, and the thread on it was a little off, but the purse had been used for months, and I couldn't tell whose problem it was. I asked him why he didn't come to him at that time, and this man didn't dare to be murderous and walked away. ”
Yan Wan'er purred and rolled her big eyes, and said, "That's not the case!" The man didn't listen to his dad at all. Then it was my father who beat all the family members he brought, and that person scared him away. ”
Yan Xiuyu touched his nose embarrassedly: "Dad, this is called convincing people with strength!" ”
Yan Qingge couldn't help laughing, and hugged Yan Wan'er in his arms: "Our Wan'er is a lady, don't learn from your father." ”
"But Daddy looks so imposing." Yan Wan'er showed a mouthful of white millet teeth, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile: "Why doesn't my father dare to admit it to my mother?" Dad, you are very powerful, don't be shy, just tell your mother honestly, your mother won't laugh at you. Isn't it, mother? ”
The family burst into laughter again.
At this moment, a mother-in-law came in and reported: "Niangniang, Aunt Caifeng of the Yan family asks to see you." ”
Yan Qingge was puzzled: "She only came a few days ago, why did she come again." ”
Could it be that the three hundred taels of silver have already been spent by her!
