Chapter 17
Chapter 17:
As soon as Shu Jiu wanted to move, a string of things slipped down from his sleeve, and he hurriedly caught it, and at first glance, it was the shells and conch sent by Du Lily of the Valley.
Shu Jiu looked up, just in time to meet Du Liling's eyes.
Half-ringing, Du Lily smiled softly and turned her eyes away.
Shu Jiu sneered, looking for the meaning of existence, then let's take revenge for the original owner first.
In the eldest princess's mansion, Shu Xi, the second son who rushed back from the barracks, was caught by Wan Lan.
"Lan'er, what's wrong, did you miss me and came to pick me up at the door?" Wei Xi is a brainless person like his father, but Wan Lan is an intelligent person. Quickly pulled Shu Xi aside.
"Husband, I always think my sister-in-law is weird."
Shu Xi sighed: "When you first saw your sister-in-law, you said that something was wrong with her, Lan'er, it doesn't matter if you don't like your sister-in-law, it doesn't matter if you don't contact her, it's okay if you are happy, but ......"
"Husband, I know, but I always feel that Jiu'er's things this time are not normal." Wan Lan approached Shu Xi: "It's been six years, we will send someone to deliver things to Jiu'er every month, it's impossible that there will be no flaws once in six years."
Shu Jiu's incident this time, in fact, Wan Lan has always felt that something is wrong in her heart.
Aunt Wei is from the countryside, although she married into the capital, but she is also married to a chef in their house, and she is doing some things in the kitchen of the house, short-sighted, it is impossible to hide from them for six years, behind them, there must be someone instructing, and that person must be from the eldest princess's house.
Although the emperor had already disposed of Aunt Wei and calmed down the matter, Wan Lan didn't want to stop there.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to prevent thieves from home, and now there is a person in the family who wants to murder the young lady, and her scheming is so deep, regardless of the fact that she has known Shu Jiu since she was a child, and loves Shu Jiu as a sister, she said that there is such a person in the family, and she is also worried and has trouble sleeping.
But the emperor's approach has already shown his attitude, this matter can't make a big fuss, and it is precisely for this reason that Wan Lan does not dare to make too big a move.
Listening to Wan Lan's words, Shu Xi also thought for a while, he also loved his sister, and he also came back the day his sister was taken back to the house, if he didn't feel distressed, then he wouldn't be called a brother, but he thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't think of anything.
"Lan'er, you can do it yourself, call me if you need anything, but ......" Shu Xi was still a little embarrassed: "What you suspect is my sister-in-law, the eldest brother is my brother after all......"
Wan Lan nodded, she naturally knew the meaning of Shu Xi's words, and she told Shu Xi about it, but she also wanted to see what her husband would do.
Fortunately, her husband did not disappoint her.
With Shu Xi's support, Wan Lan was relieved.
Wan Lan took Shu Xi back to their courtyard and changed their clothes, and then arrived at the banquet together.
The banquet was held in the small park of the princess's mansion, and all the relatives and friends were invited, and they were not too particular.
Fortunately, these people are kind, and when the women get together, they have endless topics to talk about, and the men play chess, chat, and drink together, and they are also happy.
Shu Jiu felt that if it weren't for her sister-in-law always watching her quietly, she would feel like she was going to sleep in this environment.
"Jiu'er is tired?" Suddenly, Mrs. Shu beside her looked over: "Don't sit next to us and listen to our nonsense, go ahead, go and play with your brothers and sisters."
Shu Jiu didn't shirk it, after all, she was really not interested in the topic that these people could do for a small thing for a long time, and after getting Mrs. Shu's words, she immediately left with a sense of relief.
It is really worthy of the residence of the emperor's own sister, and the small garden is also extraordinarily exquisite.
There was a river in the eldest princess's house, so she built a pond, diverted part of the river's water, built a bridge over the pond, and raised koi in the water.
Dye Er accompanied Shu Jiu, and when she saw Shu Jiu staring at the fish in the pool, she unconsciously remembered an interesting thing.
"Princess, the slave maid told you an interesting thing, that is, a few years ago, the second lady's niece Miss Yanzi came to our house as a guest, and the old lady sent the slave maid to accompany Miss Yanzi to play in the house.
"Grass carp?"
"Yes, this made Miss Yanzi very happy, and hurriedly ordered someone to set up a firewood to roast fish to eat, and also gave some to the slave maid, but it was delicious." As she spoke, Dye Er also licked her mouth, all along, the fish eaten in the house was steamed, making fish soup or something, and it was the first time she ate fish grilled in the fire.
Then after eating a large one, Miss Yanzi simply took the remaining three fish in the pond and roasted them, and excitedly took them to the old lady and the second lady to eat. But when I gave the fish to the second lady, I happened to meet the second son, and when the second son heard where the fish came from, he was angry and wanted to hit Miss Yanzi! ”
"This fish was raised by the second brother?"
"Not really! The second son finally caught a few fish from outside, and after just raising them in the pond for a day, they were roasted and eaten. ”
Shu Jiu's brain made up for it, once when she planted Manzhu Sawa all over the reincarnation, Xiaobai also learned to put a cowherd in the world to chew grass roots, and pulled out the rhizome of Manzhu Sawa to chew, although Manzhu Sawa was poisonous, Xiaobai was not poisoned, but it was also uncomfortable for a few days, and the angry yin was ridiculed in Xiaobai's ears for hundreds of years.
She opened her eyes, and there are people in the human world who are like Xiaobai, who eat something and beg for a scolding.
"This Miss Yanzi sounds pretty cute, is she here today?"
"Miss Yanzi didn't come when she had something, I guess she was busy with the wedding."
"Married?"
Ran'er nodded, looked around, pointed to a man who was drinking with Shu Xi and said: "Princess, that is this year's new champion, the son of Imperial Doctor Qu of the Imperial Hospital, a few years ago I said that I like Miss Yanzi, I heard the old lady say a few days ago, it seems that in another half a year, Gongzi Qu's career will be stable, and he will go to Miss Yanzi's house to propose marriage!"
"Haven't proposed yet?" Shu Jiu frowned.
"Yes, except for the old lady and the second lady, for the sake of Miss Yanzi's reputation, it hasn't been known to outsiders, anyway, it's only a matter of a few months."
Shu Jiu looked at the man who was drinking with his second brother, his body was not strong, but he had a bamboo-like temperament, and he was also a good man who was handsome.
"And do the two of them know?"
Dye Er was a little confused: "They? Who, Miss is talking about Miss Yanzi and Qu Gongzi? ”
