Chapter 13: The Legendary Scheming

Mrs. Du has been very upset recently: she first suffered from insomnia that day, and then she managed to deal with a bunch of things, and then she fell ill. And the illness dragged on for more than ten days. Yuan Min'er was pregnant, so she told her not to come, her daughter Feishuang was weak from the beginning, where did she do such a thing as serving the sick? If it was, Murong Luoyan would come to see her eight times a day, which made people feel annoyed. But now, this person is really hiding in the courtyard by herself, not taking a step, not asking a word, Mrs. Du feels faintly lost, so when the daughter-in-law of Luoyun Courtyard came to report that Murong Luoyan wanted to buy a cook for herself, she thought about it and made a "drag" word.

It was Du Yuchen, who hadn't seen Murong Luoyan in the upper room for more than ten days, and couldn't help but ask, knowing that she was not out of Luoyun Courtyard now, and her face didn't look good; Two days later, I asked again: She hasn't come to see her mother yet? Mrs. Du saw that his face sank, although she was also uncomfortable in her heart, but after weighing it, she felt that it was better to be safe, and hurriedly said: "If she doesn't come, I'll be cleaner, don't make trouble." ”

Two mornings ago, her daughter Feishuang took the girl out with a curious face, and asked her quietly: "Mother, is that Murong Luoyan really in love?" Mrs. Du was immediately furious: "Where did you hear the nonsense?" A girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, this is also nonsense? "I want Zheng's mother to check and see who has spread this word to the young lady's ears.

Du Feishuang has been scolded like this since he was a child, his eyes turned red, and he said angrily: "You don't need to find someone else, I only found out by listening to the little girls chatting in the garden, and when I went back and asked Rusi, I realized that there was no one in the whole house who didn't know!" What's the use of my mother coaxing me? ”

Mrs. Du was so angry that she fell on her back, she had a lot of things that she hadn't done well, but she never expected that this love Gu thing would spread, so she asked Zheng's mother to go down and visit quietly, it was really as Feishuang said, no one knew about it! But before she could come up with any countermeasures, last night my sister Mrs. Gao sent her confidant mother-in-law to spread the word, and everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was spreading the news of Princess Dayan's love Gu, and Xiangye heard about it, but I was afraid that there was also news in the palace, so she must be prepared.

This night, Mrs. Du tossed and turned, and secretly made up her mind, first of all, she still had to hold Murong Luoyan up, it was best to persuade her to continue to be the daughter-in-law of the Du family, in case the emperor summoned her, so as not to sue indiscriminately, if she didn't know what to do, don't blame her for being ruthless - there are always several ways to make a person unable to sue.

Thinking about the plan in her heart, the smile on Mrs. Du's face became warmer and warmer, just walked into the main room, only to see Luo Yan had greeted her with a smile, only half a month had not been seen, her complexion was a lot fresher, a half-old stone blue pigmented gown on her body, a little fat powder on her face was not applied, and there were no beads on her head, only a little rice grain earplug on her ear, but her skin became more and more snow-white, and her cheeks were pink, like a pearl faint, a cold plum reflecting snow, Mrs. Du couldn't help but be stunned.

Luo Yan smiled and said, "Madame, it's so early, if there is anything for Sister Hongying to order, how dare you work you?" Between his expressions, there was no trace of the cold arrogance of last time.

Mrs. Du hurriedly smiled and said, "There is something going on, I just haven't seen you for many days, I want to see how your body is." He nodded and sighed: "The princess's complexion is getting better and better, Shi Qing is so good-looking for you, no wonder Dao is the first beauty in Dayan, they all say that Min'er and Feixia are beauties, where can I compare with you?" ”

Luo Yan was vigilant in her heart, but she smiled faintly on her face: "Madam is really good at making fun of people." Asked Mrs. Du to sit down in the main seat, and accompanied her to say a few words of gossip, Mrs. Du looked around, Luo Yan understood, so she sent a few girls to serve tea and pour water and break branches, and after a while, Zheng's mother walked outside the door and guarded the door.

Du Fucai sighed: "I was sick these days, I remembered all kinds of things in the past, Erlang was willful, Min'er was arrogant, I was sick all the year round, I couldn't manage it, I used to be too snub to the princess." The princess wants to leave with her, it is also reasonable, I have also thought about it, since this is the case, it is better to give the question book last time, or the idea is to hand it over to the saint, or to return the princess a free body, and then I will give the princess two more Zhuangzi, which is considered to be our Du Mansion to the princess to make amends. ”

Luo Yan had a big alarm bell in her heart, she didn't believe that a scheming backhouse woman like Mrs. Du would have the understanding that she would be able to do this without breaking up her friendship, of course she could do this, but it was not good for Du Fu, how could she be willing? As soon as the thought turned, she smiled: "Madame is so considerate, Luo Yan is grateful, it's just ......" She lowered her head and sighed: "I have also figured it out these days, the general manager of the past three years, I can't blame the second master and Miss Yuan, I can only say that I did my own thing, I have read the book of the Holy Emperor of Dayan in the past few days, and he said a sentence, 'All kinds of things in the past are like dying yesterday, and all kinds of things in the future are born today', I feel like I have been empowered." Miss me Luo Yan, forget the past, isn't it like dying once? It is already a blessing to be able to live a stable life in Du Mansion now, so what's the point of thinking about those who don't? Could it be that if you make more trouble, you can become the princess of Dayan again? As for Heli, it was a momentary anger with the second master, not to mention that the saint may not be willing, but he is willing, can I still marry into a better family than Du Mansion with a reputation like mine? ”

As he spoke, he smiled sadly: "Madame, don't call me a princess in the future, just call me by my name, I am now a sinner of Dayan, and I am no longer the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves." ”

Mrs. Du's heart was relieved, "I haven't seen her for a few days, but she knows her own weight, but she has to see how she does it to know if she is sincere." So he said: "My son, it's best if you think like this, but I heard that you haven't been out of the yard for half a month, so you still have to go out and walk around more." ”

Luo Yan's heart sank slightly, what does this mean, but she wants her to save her morning and dusk? Anyway, when Dayan receives the news and takes action, I'm afraid that it will take at least a month or two, and he will have to delay it for a while anyway. After making up his mind, he smiled: "I heard that I used to make my wife and second master angry, so I simply stopped in the yard, and didn't let these girls go out, and I didn't ask about anything outside the courtyard." If Madame doesn't bother me, I'll have to get tired of Madame every day in the futureβ€”only, I swore that day that day to recite the sutra for my mother for a month, and it's only been half a month......"

Mrs. Du knows that Luo Yan is often vegetarian these days (at this time, Dali is mainly mutton, Luo Yan is a mouthful, how to eat mutton in the south?) Simply changed to a vegetarian diet, for fear of lack of protein, eat more egg custard and bean porridge every day), and shut himself in the house every day, Lan Ye Guihua can no longer enter her house, but also knows that the main house has to call hot water three times a day - I heard that Yan people don't like to take a bath on weekdays, and only pay special attention to cleanliness when chanting Buddha, which shows that the words of chanting are true. Mrs. Du just wanted Luo Yan's attitude, and she was not in a hurry for this time, so she nodded: "I was afraid that you would be bored, if you recite the scriptures, what is the problem if you recite the scriptures for another half a month?" A good child with filial piety like you is rare now. ”

Luo Yan naturally didn't know that her crooked attack was right, looking at Mrs. Du's expression, she knew that she had passed the test, so she smiled slightly: "Thank you, Madame." Mrs. Du thought about it for a while, and said, "There is one more thing, that is, Erlang...... In fact, Erlang is a long-term child, but his temperament is too stubborn, you didn't know his temper before, and he got angry a few times and became more and more divided, I'm old now, I really don't want to see your good husband and wife angry like this. He didn't know how good you were before, I'll go back and talk about her well, Yan'er, don't be angry with him. ”

Luo Yan's body stiffened, and she couldn't help but scold "I'm sorry" in her heart, and her mind turned sharply, and she said half-loudly: "How it used to be, but I don't remember, I look at many people now, all of whom are strangers." Mrs. treats me kindly every time, I dare to be presumptuous, but the second master was very unhappy when he saw me that time, although I didn't dare to be angry, but I didn't know how to treat him, why don't I be taught by Mrs. ”

Mrs. Du was slightly unhappy in her heart, but she couldn't force her to think about this matter-every time her son saw Murong Luoyan's expression, it wasn't that he hadn't seen it, so it seemed that this matter had to start with Erlang first. If the two of them are really good, even if there are any rumors, they will be self-defeating. Thinking of this, he patted Luo Yan's hand: "Good boy, it's all his fault, mother helps you teach him a lesson, but there is one, if he knows that he is wrong, you must also give him a chance to change." ”

Luo Yan couldn't help but feel numb, and said fiercely in her heart: "Don't worry, I naturally have a way to make your Erlang not in the mood to change this!" He smiled embarrassedly and turned his head away.

Mrs. Du smiled and said, "I heard the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper in your courtyard say, you want to spend money to buy a cook by yourself, I have been helping you keep an eye on it, you can rest assured, I will definitely pick a good one for you." With that, he got up and walked out slowly, Luo Yan hurriedly stood up and sent it to the outside of Luoyun Courtyard.

This time, Mrs. Du did not break her promise, and within two days, Du Fan's family brought a cook over, saying that it was easy for Mrs. Du to find a cook who could cook Dayan rice in Renyazi, and she had been a restaurant before, and her skills could not be better. Luo Yan didn't make a sound, and looked at Qingqing quietly, only to see a fine light flashing in her eyes.
