Chapter 29: Who is the person to deal with (2nd watch)
A deep male voice came from behind, and the group outside the door turned around in a daze, and suddenly petrified as if they had been struck by lightning.
At the gate of the courtyard, Du Yunpeng, Xiao Han, Du Tianxiang, and Du Tianfei lined up, and they all stood here at some point.
Du Yunpeng darkened his face, glanced at his daughter, walked straight to the room, and opened the tent. A smell of urine came to my nose, and a man and a woman in the tent shrunk in a corner in disheveled clothes, shivering.
Du Yunpeng snorted coldly, covered his nose and came out, and only said three words softly: "It's all tied." β
Before the words fell, Miss Du Fu's personal big maid Yanzi ran into the courtyard in a hurry, and suddenly saw a courtyard of people, stopped in his tracks, and looked at everyone in surprise.
Du Yunpeng looked at her coldly and said, "What's the matter?" β
Yanzi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Back to the master, the second lady and the cuckoo are gone, and someone saw them coming here." β
Xiao Han, Du Tianxiang didn't say a word, jumped into the house, and finally found Du Tianwei and Du Juan sleeping in the corner behind the bed, and a mother-in-law with blood on her head.
Du Tianxiang picked up his sister, probed his nose, a faint fragrance floated from his hair, he sniffed closely, turned back to his father and said, "I have been incense, quickly bring cold water." β
Du Yunpeng felt that something was wrong, and immediately glanced at Xiao Han.
Xiao Han took a deep look at Jiang Xinyao, turned around, and the person was gone.
Jiang Xinyao suddenly felt a little tired.
The wisdom of women in this era is mostly used in wives and concubines fighting, and concubines fighting each other, and the meticulousness of their thoughts and ruthless means can't help but make people creepy.
She subconsciously glanced at the woman who was as usual on the side, this woman who was not good-looking, she had to be scheming, scheming, routine, scheming, and guts. Even if the matter is revealed, she can still be as stable as Mount Tai.
Jiang Xinyao only felt cold on her body.
β¦β¦
After a pillar of incense, the guests in the front yard and the backyard continue to say goodbye to the host's house. The servants were busy cleaning up the yard, and everyone in the Du family gathered in the small courtyard in the southwest corner.
Xin Yao followed the slightly drunk old lady and swayed back to the Xiao Mansion in a carriage, leaving Xiao Han and two maids who were busy working for the Du family, she knew that one of them would never return to the Xiao Mansion.
Jiang Xinyao returned to the room, and soaked herself in the hot water and was too lazy to move. The battle of wits and courage for a day was really nerve-wracking, she hadn't drunk so much wine for a long time, and she didn't know if her stomach was adapting, so she decided to make up for sleep first.
A few hours later. Jiang Xinyao finished up a bowl of hot shrimp and fresh meat wontons, and leaned comfortably on the collapse, and when she was sighing at Weiyun and the silver nest was not as good as her own kennel, Mei Xiang in Xiao Han's study replied outside, Uncle. The young master is in the study, please go to the grandmother.
Jiang Xinyao looked at the hour, turned a few circles in her heart, and went alone.
β¦β¦
The sky was getting darker, and the courtyard was already lit up, Xin Yao pushed the door in, and saw the two men in the house with tired faces. I couldn't help but shrink my feet back, and my body entered the house with a bang.
Du Tianxiang looked at the picturesque woman in front of him with a headache, only to see that her hair was loosely pulled, wearing a homely jacket, and there was no decoration on her body, but it made people feel an indescribable elegance.
He sighed and said, "Cousin, cousin." You're gone, comfortable, I know us, hey......"
Xin Yao ignored him, but said to Xiao Han: "What's going on?" β
Xiao Han got up and shook the woman's hand. It seemed a little cold, turned around and went into the inner room, took a white fox blanket and covered her, and then said with a wry smile: "My uncle was furious, Tianying was grounded until she got married, and her biological mother, Aunt Jia, was fined to the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha to atone for her daughter's sins." β
Xin Yao gathered the blanket on her body and said, "Who is the man on the bed?" β
"It's Aunt Jia's younger brother, named Du Gang, who was originally the steward of Du Mansion, but now he is locked up in the firewood room"
Du Tianxiang stroked his forehead with both hands, and said with a tired face: "Cousin-in-law, let's talk about it, how did you sing this play, and let her plant it in your hands?" β
Jiang Xinyao closed her eyes, and memories slowly flooded into her heart.
"You sister, how can I say it? The first time I saw her, I felt that she was plain-faced, refreshing, although she was handsome, gentle and moving, for some reason, people couldn't get close to her. Later, I thought about it, the so-called talented woman was a little arrogant, and I didn't take it to heart. β
"Don't say that you can't get close to her, I have rarely been close to my good brothers and sisters over the years!"
"She followed Tianwei to Xiao's mansion, secretly looked at the uncle at the dinner table, intentionally or unintentionally asked me what was wrong with my body, spent money behind my back to inquire about the things in the uncle's room, and was bumped into going to the uncle's study in the middle of the night, such an obvious act, even the girl in my room could see her intentions to the uncle."
Jiang Xinyao squinted at Xiao Han, and said to Du Tianxiang with a smile: "Although your cousin is a military general and taciturn, he also looks like a talent, and his family has a permanent property. What's more, my cousin, my cousin grew up in one place, a childhood sweetheart, the two have no guesses, and their feelings are unusual. However, the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, and the heart is still unwilling. Sister Tianying's singing and fighting, I can't help but feel pity, but it seems that I, a person from outside, occupies the magpie's nest. β
Du Tianxiang glanced at Xiao Han with slanted eyes, saw that this guy was expressionless, and sighed deeply: "At the beginning, I thought so. β
It stands to reason that if she has this heart, she only needs to mention it a little in front of her uncle, with the Du family's affection for the uncle, the uncle will definitely not refuse to kiss the two mansions. Such a beautiful thing, why do you have to wait until the uncle becomes a relative to sing such a play, is it possible that there is something hidden here? This has to make me suspicious. β
Xiao Han's face tensed and said: "Yaoyao, I, Xiao Han, have grown so big, except for you, I have never been tempted by other women, even if my uncle-in-law mentions it to me, I can't agree." I have always had only brother and sister friendship with her, and I have no trace of male and female affection, and I don't even know when she thought about me. β
Du Tianxiang sneered twice, shamelessly threw stones at Xiao Han, and said, "Yo, this will be really clean." β
Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "To be honest, her actions made me feel like a soldier, and for her, I made some adjustments to the manpower in my own courtyard." β
"So, you transferred Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang to other places, and let Gui Hua and Rong Xiao go to the study, don't you know that these two people were sent by the old lady, and their only purpose in coming to the Xiao family is to be my Xiao Han's concubine."
Jiang Xinyao said with a smile: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that I want to put them by your side, the first is to see if you will be tempted, and the second is two women who are single-mindedly climbing the bed of the male master, do you say that they will be stupid enough to have the opportunity to let others take the lead, with them here, I just have a hundred hearts." β
Du Tianxiang blinked blatantly at Xiao Han, and really wanted to comfort this brother in his heart, but seeing his thoughtful face, he didn't pay attention to it, rolled his eyes angrily, and turned his face away.
Xin Yao just didn't see it, and continued: "I like to find out the details of others before I can prescribe the right medicine. So I secretly brought Sister Tianwei over, and I asked her about some trivial things about getting along with Tianying in the past. Tianxiang, I have to say that the Du family protects Tianwei's sister too well. β
"Cousin-in-law, what do you mean by that?"
"It's okay for a woman to be weak, it's okay to be pampered, it's okay to be arrogant, but there's only one thing you can't, and that's naivety. It's okay for a girl to be naΓ―ve when she's four or five years old, but when she's fourteen or five years old, it's a dangerous thing to be naΓ―ve. I turned around and told my aunt that it is better to learn how to see people's hearts, learn how to see people's hearts, people see it, people use it right, and naturally someone is determined to help her be a female red, help her manage her family, and help her look at the accounts. β
Du Tianxiang was silent, and sighed after a while: "What you said makes some sense. My sister said you taught her a lot. β
Xin Yao nodded and said, "Sister Tianwei is very smart, she can understand some things at a point, and she will be able to learn them as soon as she learns." β
Du Tianxiang looked at her in a daze, his heart was sour, sweet for a while, and he said after a while: "How did you find out about today's incident?" β
Xin Yao recalled: "At the banquet in Dufu, I became wary when I found out that someone had replaced the fruit wine I drank with rice wine. Tianying frequently toasted me, and proposed a drinking order, and then changed the rice wine to her daughter red, which made me realize that she was coming for me today, and she wanted to get me drunk.
Everyone does things for a purpose, and I was thinking, what is her purpose? Do you want me to make a fool of myself in public and repay my husband's hatred? Or do you want to take advantage of my drunkenness to make it easier for her to do something?
Since she wanted me to get drunk so much, why didn't I do what she wanted, so I could see what she wanted to do. So, I said in Tianwei's ear, 'I'm pretending to be drunk, you be careful of Tianying'. She took advantage of the unpreparedness and confessed a few words to Yanzi, what she confessed, I don't know, you go back and ask her yourself. β
Du Tianxiang smiled bitterly: "That's how you reminded her, she still fell in love with others." β
Jiang Xinyao touched her throat, which was a little dry, and said, "One has been simple for more than ten years, and the other has been hidden for more than ten years, and it is clear who loses and who wins." But this is not a bad thing, the more you lose, the faster your ability will grow. β
Xiao Han's eyes never left Xin Yao, he gently handed over the teacup, Xin Yao naturally took it, took a few sips and handed it back to him.
"Later, the maid helped me to the uncle's yard, and the courtyard door was closed, and I knew that something was wrong. Yanzi cursed a few words at the gate of the courtyard, and it was those few curses that made me suddenly understand that this was not a coincidence, but that someone did not want me to go to this courtyard.
If you don't want me in, who do you want to let into this courtyard? What is the purpose of entering this courtyard? Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that the person she really wanted to deal with was not me, I was just a smokescreen, and my role was just to confuse people. β(..)
