Chapter 53 Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis
Long Yuyan lay on the bed and told him about his past in the Long family, although he tried his best to avoid sensitive words about modern times, but there were still things that Xiao Tianmo couldn't understand. Long Yuyan didn't know how to answer Xiao Tianmo's question, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended not to hear, but after closing his eyes, he fell asleep unconsciously.
Xiao Tianmo looked at Long Yuyan's sleeping side face without any sleepiness, knowing that so many things had happened to her and the person named Francy, his mood was very complicated, he had never set foot in the past for so many years.
Pulling her cold body into his arms, his thin lips covering his ears, "You are the princess of this king, no matter who you once was." "I don't have time to participate in your past, and I will accompany you to the end in your future.
I don't know if Long Yuyan really heard Xiao Tianmo's love words, or if she encountered a beautiful scene in a dream, under the pouring moonlight, the corners of her lips were slightly raised.
The daylight shone obliquely into the room, overlapping the flower windows and falling interesting patterns on the ground, and the people on the bed muttered and slowly woke up in the morning light.
When Long Yuyan opened her eyes, Xiao Tianmo was standing by the bed wearing court clothes, and when she woke up, she deceived her, her thin lips hooked slightly, "Finally willing to wake up Little lazy cat, I dreamed of something last night, but I kept shouting the name of this king." ”
"Not really." Long Yuyan snorted, she didn't talk in her sleep when she slept.
"Really, not." Xiao Tianmo laughed in a low voice, leaned over and kissed her lightly on the lips, "This king has gone to the court, so don't leave the house if you have nothing to do in the past few days." ”
Long Yuyan smiled and nodded, "No." "That's impossible, her three thousand taels of gold haven't come back yet, and the beaded skirt of Yunxiang Pavilion can't be missing.
It's a pity that Xiao Tianmo didn't know the twists and turns in Long Yuyan's heart, and he was still sighing that this woman was so well-behaved today. After Xiao Tianmo left, Long Yuyan finished breakfast and walked out.
If Xiao Tianmo impeached the Marquis of Dingyuan in the court, there should be a lot of courtiers who defended him, and she had to go to the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion to collect money quickly, otherwise she would not get anything when the emperor raided her home.
"Princess," the butler stepped forward and saluted, "the old slave greets the princess." ”
"Get up, come early in the morning and ask for something."
"Back to the princess, there is a girl outside the door who came to find the princess, she claimed to be the shopkeeper of Yunxiang Pavilion, and came to give the princess a custom-made dress."
Long Yuyan nodded, he didn't expect Xiao Qiansu to send it so early, but he avoided the trouble of going to the street to find her, "Please invite her into the main hall, I'll be there later." ”
The housekeeper replied and retreated, and Long Yuyan stretched his waist and walked slowly towards the main hall.
When Long Yuyan arrived at the main hall, Xiao Qiansu was sitting on a rattan chair drinking tea, and when she saw her fingers trembling uncontrollably, the hot tea splashed on her hand, and it turned red in an instant.
"I'm just that scary." Long Yuyan took her scalded hand and blew it in her hand, and ordered the attendants in the hall to get the medicine to treat the burns.
"No, no, the princess is not scary, it's me who overreacted." Xiao Qiansu pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled stiffly, his smile was very reluctant.
Long Yuyan sighed helplessly, in fact, she was not to blame for such a reaction. Xiao Qiansu was a figure with a head and a face at that time, and she used a lot of extraordinary means to subdue her, and while cultivating cultural virtues, she also did not do less.
"This is the princess's custom-made clothes, if you are not satisfied, you can change it." Xiao Qiansu said and handed over a delicate wooden box, this box is designed by Long Yuyan, and it can be placed in up to nine layers to ensure that each set of clothes is packaged separately, greatly reducing the chance of friction and wrinkles.
Take out the top box, open it inside is a moon-white gown, the whole is simple and generous, the embroidery stitches are fine, the gown is woven from Tianshan ice silk, it is the best material.
Touching the cool and silky touch of his fingertips, Long Yuyan couldn't help but smile and nodded, "It's done very well, I'm very satisfied." ”
"Won't the princess take a look at the others, and see if they are all satisfied."
"There's no need for that," Long Yuyan smiled and waved his hand, "I can still trust my own people, and I have to go to the shopkeeper for a trip, this is a silver reward." ”
"No, no, no, no silver reward," Xiao Qiansu waved his hand again and again, almost falling from his seat, "No need to reward silver, this is what I should do, if the princess has nothing else to do, I will go back to the shop first." ”
Seeing her react excitedly, Long Yuyan shrugged helplessly and took it back, she really just wanted to give a bounty, who knows what this girl was thinking. After looking at the sky, judging by the position of the sun, it should be close to nine o'clock in Beijing time, and she guessed that the holy decree of raiding the house would be issued in half a day, and all the valuable things in the Hou Mansion must be transported away before that time.
"Don't be in a hurry now, let's go with me to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion first." As he spoke, he got up and walked out, Xiao Qiansu was puzzled in his heart, but he also followed in a deep voice.
The bustling streets are as lively as ever, everything is so peaceful and quiet, but Long Yuyan knows that this Dayue is about to change.
In the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion, Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis was fidgeting anxiously, staring at the main gate while looking up at the time from time to time, Dingyuan Marquis didn't sleep all night last night. I sat on a wicker chair and drank tea all night, and my frowning eyebrows never let go of it from the bottom to the back.
When Madame woke up in the middle of the night to find that he had not fallen asleep in his clothes, she got out of bed and asked him what had happened.
Marquis Dingyuan did not say what had happened to him, but only let out a long sigh and told his wife that if he did not come back by the hour, he would release the carrier pigeon in the cage, escape with the child, and run in the direction of the Xining border.
Mrs. Dingyuan didn't know what happened to him, but seeing that his face was not good, and he couldn't sleep until he was full of sorrow, it shouldn't be a trivial matter.
Early the next morning, Marquis Dingyuan rushed to the early dynasty, and the people in the house stumbled to tell her that Aunt Duan and Su Wenning died in the house, and the death was extremely tragic.
When she heard the little guy's report, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou was still a little disdainful and punished the reckless little guy. For her, it's just a dead aunt and a concubine, and there's nothing to worry about when she dies.
That sentence was extremely tragic, Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis originally didn't believe it, but when she saw the corpses of Aunt Duan and Su Wenning, the tragic situation almost scared her out of her body, the corpse that could no longer be called a human being, like two rotten lumps of rotten meat that had been stirred, and greeted the little guy with a miserable white face, "Hurry up, come quickly, throw them out, this must be infected with some kind of evil disease, and throw them out of the house far away." ”
The little guy on the side stepped forward and saw the two corpses so frightened that his body shook into a sieve, and under the urging of Mrs. Dingyuan Hou, he pulled the straw mat and endured the nausea, rolled the bodies of the two into the straw mat and took them out. Mrs. Dingyuanhou, who witnessed the whole process, was nauseous for a while, and goosebumps rose layer by layer when she thought of the death of the two, and she didn't eat breakfast.
Mrs. Dingyuan Hou looked at the sky and found that it was already past the hour, remembering the instructions of Dingyuan Hou, she hurriedly went to the inner room to take out the cage where the pigeon was kept, and stood in the park and looked at the carrier pigeon flying far away, and her heart was panicked. She knew about the transaction between Dingyuan Hou and Xining, but she never agreed, after all, fornicating with the enemy army was no less than raising a tiger, but Dingyuan Hou never listened to advice and insulted her for being a woman with long hair and short knowledge.
"Say I don't understand anything, I think you are the authority fan, this is not retribution."
"Ma'am." The maid ran into the garden in a panic, and Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, turned around and asked her what was wrong.
"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, Princess Pingnan broke in with someone." The maid pointed to the direction of the gate with a frightened face, and Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis's brows instantly frowned, Princess Pingnan, if she remembers correctly, it seems to be called Rong Yuyan, some time ago, the aunt detained the young lady of the Zhenbei Palace, and the matter was in an uproar, and she also heard about it, I don't know why I came this time.
"Ma'am?" The maid knelt on the ground and saw that Mrs. Dingyuan frowned and didn't know what she was thinking, so she hurriedly called.
Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis immediately woke up, "Prepare tea, since the distinguished guests come to the door, there is no reason not to welcome them." ”
The maid was stunned for a moment, and retreated, she didn't know what Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis was thinking, Princess Pingnan was menacing with people, and the blind people knew that they were coming to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but it was not the turn of the master to put his beak in his hands. After the maid left, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou stood in place and sighed, she had never asked about the affairs in the Hou Mansion over the years, and she had always been the head of the concubine's house. She has been married to the Marquis of Dingyuan for more than 30 years, at that time he was not a marquis just a weak scholar, and later entered the court as an official, with a mouth to stand firm, the civil official marquis is very few, but he won the emperor's heart, the size is a favored minister, but now I am afraid that it is rare to die.
She had heard a little about Su Wenning's bet with Princess Pingnan for three thousand taels of gold, and she had also heard people talk about it. Today's visit is afraid that she came to ask for silver taels, but fortunately, she had the foresight to transport her own silver back to her parents' house in advance, and all that was left in the house was some ornaments.
Over the years, the Hou Mansion has gradually declined under the leadership of the concubine, and the income of the Hou Mansion shop is not as good as before. She saw it in her eyes but had no intention of interfering, she used to love this graceful man, but as the concubine room by room was carried into the mansion, her heart also died.
Long Yuyan had never seen Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis, but looking at the middle-aged woman who came slowly, she was dignified and as light as a chrysanthemum, this temperament should be a genuine lady, "I've seen Mrs. Dingyuan Hou." ”
Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis smiled faintly, "The folk women have seen the princess Niangniang, and the folk women are panicked and can't afford the gift of Princess Pingnan." ”
"Madame doesn't have to be polite, this concubine came here this time to gamble, Madame won't stop her."
