Text Chapter 71: Morning and Dusk
Ningguo Mansion Yirui Courtyard.
Jiang You and Yang Mo sat on the stone bench of the Sanyang Pavilion and listened carefully to the news that An He inquired about.
A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Yang Miao's eyes, and he said, "So, she is really the concubine of the Changfang of the Qingxiang Marquis Mansion?" ”
An He said: "Lord Du's daughter Du Feiyuan was abducted by a kidnapper at the Lantern Festival thirteen years ago, which was a sensation back then, and even Jing Zhaoyin, who was at the time, was implicated and was dismissed by the emperor for ineffective work. In the first year of Qiming, Lord Du and his wife went to Beikaicheng to take up his post, the official ship touched the reef, Mrs. Du fell into the water, I heard that it was the county lord of Wanming who happened to save Mrs. Du, and then the Du couple was surprised to find that the county lord of Wanming was the daughter who was abducted by the abduction, so they naturally took the county lord of Wanming to Beikai, and after that, Lord Du also hosted a family recognition meeting for the county, and almost all the celebrities and magnates of Beikaicheng attended. ”
"I really didn't expect her to have this kind of encounter!"
Jiang You glanced at Yang Miao, waved his hand to let An He exit the Sanyang Pavilion, and then said: "Ah Mi, we are two brothers, and I think it is better to make some things clear in advance." ”
Yang Mo was stunned, how could he not know what Jiang You was going to say? Then he picked up the liquor on the table, drank it in one gulp, and said, "You want me to quit?" ”
Jiang You was noncommittal, and only said lightly: "Yi'er saved your life, but if you put this aside, do you think she is qualified to be your concubine?" ”
"She is smart and lovely, kind and gentle, as long as she is willing, don't talk about me, the prince and concubine, she deserves any identity!"
Jiang You sneered and said, "In that case, can you give her the honor of being a concubine?" ”
Yang Mo was stunned, and a trace of pain suddenly rose in his heart, indeed, let alone the main concubine, he even has the quota of the two side concubines, is it possible, is he really willing to just give her the title of a concubine?
Yang Mo was irritable, grabbed the wine jug on the table suddenly, and didn't pour it into the cup, but poured it directly into his mouth.
Jiang You snatched the wine jug and said coldly: "If you have something to say, who are you going to show like you are going to die?" ”
Yang Mo smiled bitterly, stared at Jiang You for a long time, and said, "I know, I know that I don't have any qualifications anymore, but Ah You, I can't let it go, and I can't forget it!" ”
Jiang You said: "I can't let it go, I can't forget it!" It's very good, then you can watch her bow in front of your concubines every day in the name of concubines? Self-proclaimed concubine, who was called and drunk by those women of yours? Can you be willing that even if she has children in the future, she will not even have the right to raise her own children because of her humble status? You'll be able to ......."
"Enough, don't talk about it!" Yang Mo slid off the stone bench with his head in pain, he didn't want to think about it, let alone dare to think about it, because even if he didn't want to think about it anymore, he knew in his heart that what Jiang You said was actually the truth.
After a long time, Yang Mo raised his head, stared at Jiang You, and said, "You said so much, just want me not to fight with you, right?" ”
"Not bad." Jiang You didn't deny it, and said, "Although I have selfish intentions, but Ah Mi, did I say anything wrong?" I don't want to fight with you, it's not that I'm jealous of your status as a prince, but because you're my brother! I met Yi'er before you, at that time I was full of hesitation, at a loss, God let me meet her, although there is only a short side, a few words, but this is enough. Ah Mi, I only say these words to you, for her, I am willing to do anything, and I am willing to do anything! ”
Yang Mo couldn't believe it, he never thought that Jiang You, who had always been as cold as an ice sculpture, would say such a love word, he stared at Jiang You in amazement, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
But he said that Yi'er rested early because of eating wine that night, and when he got up the next day, he saw that Yinggu was waiting by his side, so he asked, "Are your mother and brother all settled?" ”
Yingu combed Yi'er's hair while saying, "Miss Lao has bothered, everything has been settled, just in a small courtyard in the back room, five people live together, although the house is not big, but they are enough." ”
Yi'er nodded and said, "It's good to settle down, if you have anything to tell me, I haven't seen that little thing in Guan Gu for a long time, find a time for you to bring him in and I'll take a look to see if you have gained some weight!" ”
Silver Valley answered yes.
After grooming, Yi'er took Lufu to Ripple Courtyard to ask Li for peace, Lufu couldn't hide her words, and on the way she told Yi'er that Yingu was going to find Mo Guan yesterday.
“…… In the end, it was easy to say that he also received 200 copper for a month's house in Silver Valley, and then arranged it. The slave maid in the small courtyard went to see it, it was not big, and there were five families, crowded like a rat hole, not to mention, even the clean room and kitchen were shared. That Mo Guan also said, this Jingshi is an inch of land, and it is already a place to burn high incense to have such a residence, hum, the slave and maid are not fools, the house money of 200 copper, can Mo Guan still hand it over to the public middle school of the Hou Mansion? It's not like it's going to end up in his own purse. ”
Yi'er thought for a while and said, "I know about this, don't go around and say it, after all, we are new to the Hou Mansion, I'll take a look after a while." ”
Lu Fu nodded and said, "I heard that Na Mo is the fourth lady's companion, and the middle feed in the house is also managed by the fourth lady, so it is not suitable for Miss to look for Na Mo at this time." ”
Yi'er sighed, smiled and nodded Lu Fu's face, and said, "My Lu Fu now knows the importance of forbearance, which is really rare." ”
Lu Fu said disobediently: "Miss... The slave is serious, and the young lady will make fun of the slave. ”
"I know. The fourth uncle is now the Marquis of Qingxiang, and the fourth aunt is in charge of the middle feed in the house, which is a legitimate thing. ”
Qiuxia Pavilion was next to the Ripple Courtyard, the master and servant talked and laughed all the way, and soon arrived, but just entered the courtyard, before they had time to enter the main room, Li had already led Zhihua out, and when he saw Yi'er, he smiled and said: "It's appropriate for the kite, my mother is thinking about going to your Qiuxia Pavilion." ”
Yi'er said: "Is there something wrong with my mother looking for my daughter?" ”
Li said: "It's nothing, but now that I have entered the Hou Mansion, the rules and etiquette that should be in the province in the morning and dusk still can't be saved, and my mother is thinking of calling you to go to Zirui Courtyard to greet the old lady!" ”
Yi'er smiled and said, "Okay, in the future, my daughter will come over every morning to go to Zirui Courtyard with her mother." ”
Li rubbed Yi'er's head dotingly, took Yi'er's hand, and went out of the yard, there were already two small carts with green curtains waiting, and the two got into the car and went to Zirui Courtyard.
When the two arrived at Zirui Courtyard, there were many people gathered in the courtyard, and after a meeting, Yi'er followed the Li family to ask for peace to the Lin family, and the Lin family rewarded the seat.
Lin looked at a room of people, Lao Huai was pleased, and said to Wei: "The boss is also back now, although the appointment of the officials has not yet come down, but it should not be out of office again, this is also a good thing for our Hou Mansion to reunite, I see, if you don't choose a day, you plan and plan, and invite the ladies and ladies who are close to our family in the Beijing Division to come to our house to watch the play and listen to a song, and the Hou Mansion has not been lively for a long time!" ”
Wei obediently agreed, and said: "Since the mother has this intention, the daughter-in-law will arrange it after she goes down." ”
Lin nodded, and after a while of arguing with everyone, he dismissed everyone, but left Yi'er and Du Jinyao in the fourth room to accompany her for breakfast.
Yi'er saw it last night, among several granddaughters, Lin's favorite is Du Jinyao, in fact, it's no wonder, it's really calculated, Du Jinyao is the eldest granddaughter of Lin's real relatives, as for Yi'er herself, Lin has never hidden his love for her, but Yi'er doesn't know how many layers of sincerity there are.
At the dinner table, Yi'er was supposed to wait next to her, but was pulled down by the Lin family and said, "Grandmother, how can I use you to wait, what are so many maids doing?" You are sensible, grandmother likes you, and she feels more sorry for you, so you can sit here and eat with grandmother with peace of mind, you know? ”
Yi'er had no choice but to say yes.
Du Jinyao said next to her: "The third sister is so virtuous and filial, but it is useless to compare my sister to nothing." ”
This was originally a joking sentence, but her tone was a little sarcastic, so the meaning changed, but she didn't directly say that Yi'er was pretending to be filial, fighting the love of the old lady, and earning a good reputation.
Yi'er was stunned, although she didn't say a few words to Du Jinyao last night, she could intuitively feel Du Jinyao's hostility and defense against her, she didn't know why her almost big sister was like this, but between the long room and the fourth room, because of the title of the Marquis of Qingxiang, the atmosphere between each other was already a little awkward, although now that the dust has settled, Du Ziqian has already inherited the title, but now that Du Ziwu has returned to Beijing, the people in the fourth room will inevitably be suspicious, suspecting that they returned to Beijing this time, and still reciting the false name of the title.
The marquis is naturally not a false name, and there are many actual interests involved, but in Yi'er's opinion, she really doesn't take that title so seriously, and she also believes that Du Ziwu and his wife, like her, don't want to fight for anything at all, but it doesn't matter what they think, what matters is what others think you think!
Yi'er was a little speechless, and she didn't want to worry about anything with Du Jinyao, so she only smiled faintly and didn't answer.
Lin scolded with a smile: "You are treacherous, and you are lazy and you don't allow your sister to be virtuous." ”
Du Jinyao smiled and filled a bowl of bistem rice porridge, respectfully handed it to Lin, and said: "People are lazy, people know that grandmother feels sorry for their grandchildren and can't bear to let their grandchildren be tired, so they sit and don't move, otherwise, grandchildren are willing to wait for grandmother for three meals a day!" ”
Lin smiled and said, "Grandmother knows that you are all filial and good children, and grandmother knows it in her heart." ”
