Chapter 13: My Cousin Visits
Not long after Liu Yunyun returned to the Yun Courtyard, Liu Tingting took Xiao Tao to the Yun Courtyard with a serious expression.
"Second Miss, Eldest Miss is here." Huanhuan raised her voice to report, and directly lifted the curtain to let Liu Tingting enter the house. Liu Tingting walked in with a weird smile on her face, threw off her cloak, and waved her hand again and again: "You all stand down." Huan Huan Xiao Xiao and Xiao Tao, you go to the door to guard, someone comes quietly and comes over quietly and says, "Xiao Xiao hurriedly pushed Huan Huan out." Liu Yunyun looked at Liu Tingting and wondered a little, what kind of expression is this sister who has always been dignified?
Liu Tingting stared at Liu Yunyun fixedly, still with that weird smile on her face, and said: "I think our family is about to soar, and it is estimated that there will be news about you and my family soon." Liu Yunyun looked at Liu Tingting in surprise, although the matter of the father and brothers is suspicious, but how can this be a man's business, how old is my sister and herself, just a family matter? The two sisters are the age of the first year of junior high school, and they haven't even had a menstrual affair yet, so what's the matter!
Liu Tingting looked at the uncertainty on Liu Yunyun's face, so she didn't fight angrily, raised her hand and pointed at Liu Yunyun's little head, and said with hatred: "Why don't you have anything to do at all, you can't get married, you can get married first." Look at how happy my mother is today for my father and eldest brother. In the future, if you want to make your eldest brother's career smooth, you may not be guilty of soft ears again...... Uh, I mean, it's not necessarily that you won't be deceived by other people's rhetoric and ...... us "No matter how atmospheric Liu Tingting is, she is just a thirteen-year-old girl, and when it comes to getting married, it's still somewhat difficult to talk about.
Of course, Liu Yunyun understands her mother's temperament, and naturally agrees with what Liu Tingting said. But she is more worried about the eldest brother and the second brother now, the companion is like a tiger, now the emperor's age is no longer young, he is close to knowing the destiny of heaven, and Su Liguo, who personally led the troops to fight, did not dare to attack, so he finally entered the eyes of the emperor and became the prince. But when marching and fighting, how can there be no injury, and the body has not been very healthy, and last year there was a serious illness, and it took more than half a year to gradually recover.
The eldest brother went to read to the third prince as a companion, and the second brother went to read to the sixth prince as a companion, which was recommended by Concubine De. What does Concubine De have to do with her own son? Yes, Concubine De's surname is Wei, her father is a senator of Zhongshu Province, and her sister-in-law is now the concubine of Chengyihou, who is also her eldest cousin.
Liu Tingting looked at Liu Yunyun with her cheeks in a daze, and shook her head speechlessly. This second sister of her own family, smart is smart and tight, but she is very lazy in everything, especially in a daze, if she really gets married in the future, who can spoil her, tolerate her, and let her be in a daze?
Liu Yunyun came back to her senses, looked at Liu Tingting, and was just about to speak, she lifted the curtain and walked over with a smile like a gust of wind, and bowed her knees slightly: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, the eldest lady of the Sincere Hou Mansion is here, and now she is asking Mrs. to say goodbye to her in Xuande Courtyard." "Since receiving the order this morning, the people who came to send congratulatory gifts to congratulate have not stopped, this group of people is to see the wind and rudder, Fang Ci is happy, naturally he will not think too much, and has been smiling and greeting. But He Yuan and his sisters have been close since childhood, why did they come here today?
Liu Yunyun and Liu Tingting stopped talking in private anymore, and hurriedly got up and wanted to go to Xuande Courtyard to pick up He Yuan, but before the sisters reached the gate of the courtyard, they saw He Yuan wearing a purple-red pomegranate skirt with a crescent-white brocade cloak, and walked over with her girl pearl striding meteor.
As soon as He Yuan saw Sister Liu Yunyun, he almost trotted closer, and said: "I heard this morning that Uncle Biao was promoted to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, so I thought of coming over to see you, and I mentioned it to my mother, but I didn't expect my mother to agree, so I hurried over to talk to you." ”
Liu Yunyun hurriedly welcomed the person into the house, and Huanhuan stepped forward to serve He Yuan to untie his cloak. He Yuan sat on the warm kang with his buttocks, reached out and grabbed Liu Yunyun's pillow and played with it.
Xiaoxiao made tea and put it on the kang table in front of He Yuan, He Yuan put down the pillow, picked up the teacup, lowered his head and smelled it, looked at Liu Tingting who was sitting opposite her and said with a smile: "I know that Yun Yun is a person who understands tea, and this moonlight golden branch is the most mellow fragrance she has here." Liu Tingting said with a smile: "This is not specially prepared for you, I came over to ask for a few taels on weekdays, but she was reluctant to give it, and said that she must keep you over to drink together." He Yuan stood up happily, swept up to Liu Yunyun's side and sat down like a gust of wind, and said, "I knew that you were the best for me." ”
A few people chatted a few more words, He Yuan couldn't hold back a little, raised his head and looked around, Liu Yunyun looked up at the pearl who was standing quietly on the side, and said with a smile: "Pearl, Huanhuan thinks about what you want, last time you gave her the pattern, she said that she still wants to ask you for a few more pieces, you follow Huanhuan to draw the pattern first, if you don't arrive this time, Huanhuan will be depressed for a few days." ”
Pearl listened, and quickly glanced at He Yuan, He Yuan understood what Liu Yunyun meant, glanced at Liu Yunyun with appreciation, and said to Pearl with a smile: "Okay, you go and make tricks for Huanhuan first, there are Xiaoxiao and Xiao Tao to serve, and you don't need it." Liu Tingting understood, and looked at Huanhuan funny, "You skin monkey, you make some strange movements every day, that is, your young lady spoils you." ”
Huan Huan curtled his knees at the three girls, and replied with a smile: "I'll come up with a new trick when I go back, and I will honor the three young ladies first." Everyone laughed, and Pearl couldn't say anything, frowned slightly, and reluctantly followed Huanhuan to retreat.
He Yuan watched them walk away, glanced at them, and said hatefully: "Hmph, I think I am something." You still want to spy on me, no way! Liu Yunyun smiled and said, "That's, that's!" Not even the windows, oh no, not even the cracks in the windows. He Yuan was still angry, but when Liu Yunyun said it, he laughed out loud. Liu Tingting looked at He Yuan and said solemnly, "What's wrong?" He Yuan's little face quickly became aggrieved, and he snorted angrily: "It's not that Aunt Wei yet." I don't know what she told her father. Last night, my father told my mother that he wanted his eldest brother to be the eldest princess born by Concubine Min. He Yuanqi patted his thigh, "I don't want to think about what kind of virtue that eldest princess is, how can she be worthy of my eldest brother?" ”
Liu Yunyun's heart suddenly stopped for a moment when she heard this, how could she be the eldest princess again? Liu Tingting also broke out in a cold sweat, and asked anxiously, "Then what did your father say?" He Yuan's face was depressed, "My father told my mother that since Jian'an Hou rejected Concubine Min's proposal to let Jian'an Hou's son Shang Chang Princess, the emperor has always felt very guilty about Concubine Min. So if our family proposes the eldest princess at this time, it will only please the emperor. Besides, my eldest brother and the eldest princess are also cousins, and there are no other disputes. Liu Tingting asked anxiously: "Then your father agreed?" He Yuan nodded reluctantly. said: "My mother's eyes were swollen this morning, and my father ignored my mother as if he didn't see it. Since my grandfather left, my father has become more and more dependent on his own temperament. As he spoke, he carefully took out the handwritten letter from his purse that his father was about to hand to the emperor.
Liu Yunyun's eyes widened, pointed to the letter, and said incredulously: "You stole it?" He Yuan glanced at Liu Yunyun indifferently, "I don't steal it, this letter is on the dragon case today, and it is irretrievable." Liu Tingting patted Liu Yunyun's shoulder, looked at He Yuan and asked, "Have you asked your eldest brother about this?" What did he say? He Yuan looked at Liu Tingting, then at Liu Yunyun, and said in a low voice: "I said that you can't betray me in front of my eldest brother again." After speaking, he stared at the Liu sisters and asked for assurance.
Liu Tingting sighed, this He Yuan just doesn't know how to develop his current character, the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, she likes to do something secretly to find fun all day long, and it is estimated that she is peeking at his brother's things again. After seeing the two of them nodding in agreement, they stared at Liu Yunyun ambiguously and said, "A few days ago, I accidentally saw a portrait hidden in my eldest brother's study, and there are more than 30 paintings. It's all written by my eldest brother, carefully drawn one stroke at a time, and hidden in the study...... Uh, in short, it's my eldest brother's brainchild. ”
Liu Yunyun was inexplicably surprised by He Yuan's words, blinked, and asked: "I know this, your eldest brother has been learning to paint with Mr. Gu Hai since he was a child, and now he has never stopped learning to paint." He Yuan angrily glanced at Liu Yunyun fiercely, and said in an unkind tone: "My eldest brother painted an apple face, with white skin and tender flesh. There's one picture of her playing on a swing, oh, the time I celebrated my twelfth birthday. ”
Liu Yunyun lowered her eyelids and did not answer, looking down at an ice-clear jade glass jade apple pendant falling from her waist, the whole apple was made into a glass translucent watery shape, only the apple handle was a green green emerald color, small and exquisite. This jade pendant is said to be carved by cousin He Qin to find Master Jiang, a jade carver of the famous Linlang Pavilion in Jinjing, and later took it to Panlong Temple and worshiped it in front of the Buddha for 9981 days before giving it to himself as a gift for his 10-year-old birthday. Now, isn't it time to take it off?
Sending He Yuan away, Liu Tingting patted Liu Yunyun comfortingly, smiled at her, and did not say anything comforting. But Liu Yunyun still felt her sister's concern for her.
"Sister, it's fine. Besides, Cousin He's words back then can't be taken seriously. Liu Yunyun said happily to Liu Tingting. Liu Tingting sighed slightly, nodded, and said, "Don't think about it too much, as long as you don't let people with bad intentions contact your mother." The mother is gentle and kind, and she is unwilling to think badly of others. But we need to be vigilant. ”
Liu Yunyun nodded and agreed: "Well, don't worry, sister." When my eldest brother is not at home in the future, I will be responsible for taking care of my mother, and I don't want our future marriage to be used by others. ”
Liu Tingting saw that Liu Yunyun did not have any abnormalities, so she went back with confidence.
Liu Yunyun went to sew "homemade thermal underwear" for her eldest brother with a smile and a smile. I walked to the bedroom alone, picked the jade apple on my body, and put it in a jewelry box that I don't usually use. The crystal clear little jade apple was quietly put aside.
