Chapter 153: Consideration
、、、、、、、、、、 I didn't forget that Li Xun had looked for Jiang Changyang, I didn't forget King Min who suddenly appeared in the nameless restaurant the day before yesterday and went to Zhu Guogong, nor did I forget what Jiang Changyang said to her, and I didn't forget the Li gardener in Fangyuan who bought it at a high price from King Jing. Assuming that King Jing was not actually the legendary person who had no sense of existence, but the person who forced Yan Balang to death for Qin Niang without making a sound, he would definitely know that she had a great relationship with Jiang Changyang.
If Qin Niang is really as she said, she will repay herself one day, then she has always refused to recognize herself before, and she has refused to recognize Lu Wulang, there must be a reason. And Lu Wulang had been asking the He family for help earlier, and he had a close relationship with the He family, until he had contact with Qin Niang, but he never mentioned it to the He family, but now he suddenly came to him, and told himself that Qin Niang was pregnant and had a misunderstanding with King Jing. The changes before and after are so great that there is no reason why Peony is not pregnant, and there is something greasy in this-of course it will not be for her, but for Jiang Changyang and the people behind him.
It's just that Peony didn't dare to talk to Mrs. Cen about these suspicions, so she could only say: "After some people soar, the last thing they want to see is the person who has seen their most depressed and miserable time." If Qin Niang wanted to recognize me, she would have come a long time ago. She was willing to recognize Lu Wulang, but she refused to recognize me, according to me, this should be the reason. Then Lu Wulang is just wishful thinking, even if I agree to him, I won't get Qin Niang's good face after I go, not to mention, this involves the matter of concubines and heirs competing for favor in the palace, and we should mix less. Now that Daddy and Big Brother are not at home, it's better to be careful. ”
Mrs. Cen groaned slightly, and said, "You are right, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Since she was willing to raise King Jing outside, she should be mentally prepared and have a way to deal with it. It will be of no benefit if you go. ”
Peony nodded and said with a smile: "Mother, didn't you say the day before yesterday that the weather was cold, and your face and hands were getting drier and drier, what kind of balm do you want?" It's just right today, let's do it. Do a little more, I'll just take it away and give it away. "Mrs. Cen is not young, but she is well maintained, and she has a lot of maintenance prescriptions on her hands. Recently, her spirit has been a little tired, and it is better to lead her to play with these things of interest to dissipate her fatigue.
Mrs. Cen really became interested and said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? If you want to do it, you can do it. I teach you. Clean up two pig's trotters, wash a bucket of white sorghum rice, put five buckets of water, boil slowly, wait until the pig's trotters and rice are rotten, take the juice bucket for later use. This is the first step. Then put the white poria, five taels of land, one tael of wilted fern, two taels of angelica angelica, and two taels of root, chop and boil them into a bucket of medicinal juice for later use, which is the second step. Finally, grind one liter of peach kernels, boil them together with medicinal juice and clear juice, boil them to one and a half buckets, filter out the slag, put them in a porcelain bottle, put in one or two sweet rosin and tonka incense, stir evenly, and after cooling, use silk cotton to cover the bottle tightly, and take some face and hands before going to bed every night. ”
Oops, it turned out to be an ancient version of collagen whitening and wrinkle night cream, which is truly natural. Peony excitedly asked Kuan'er to take the money to the kitchen and let people prepare pig's trotters, while Shu'er took the money to the treasury to ask for other medicinal materials and other things.
"Those who see it have a share!" Aunt Wu and Aunt Yang came in hand and said with a smile: "No wonder Mrs. De's skin has been so white and moisturized for so many years, it turns out that there is a secret recipe." Since Danniang paid out of her own pocket, then she will make more points for us to use, so that we can also be stained. ”
Peony smiled: "Is it okay for everyone?" ”
Aunt Yang clapped her hands and smiled: "Okay." Good. Then he looked left and right, touched his cheek, and looked at Mrs. Cen with a flattering smile: "Although the concubine is younger than Mrs., the skin on this face is not as tight, smooth and white as Mrs. ”
It's very obvious to flatter, probably because of the lack of heart. Mrs. Cen smiled faintly: "You are more than ten years younger than me and Aunt Wu, and you are from Yangzhou, we can't compare with you." ”
Aunt Yang smiled dryly: "Madame squeezed me again." ”
When Peony looked at it, the gold-framed Baodian rhino horn comb on her head was gone, replaced by a very ordinary silver-gilt comb.
Not long after, Xue and others also heard the news, and sat down together to grind medicinal herbs, almonds and other things by hand. Only Sun sat in the corner, grabbing a handful of almonds and looking over and over, unable to give up.
Seeing this, Peony leaned next to her and smiled: "What is the sixth sister-in-law doing?" ”
Sun was taken aback, raised his eyes to look at Peony and smiled faintly: "It's nothing, I just think it's rare to see such a big almond." ”
Compared with Aunt Yang's spring breeze and flattering and selling well, Sun is still wearing a half-new homely dress, and only a few double-strand gold hairpins and two beaded flowers are inserted on her head, and she doesn't even have powder and rouge. People look a lot thinner, and they seem to be preoccupied. Peony said: "Sixth sister-in-law, why have you lost weight?" ”
Sun stroked his face and smiled faintly: "Really? Is it because there is no powder? Then he got up and shouted: "I think I'm thin, wait for me to look in the mirror, and if it is, eat more at night." "I went and never came, but I deliberately avoided the peony.
The Sun family and the Yang family obviously knew something, but they just refused to tell them, in the final analysis, it was still the difference between the concubines and the concubines, and they were guarded against them. In fact, Mrs. Cen and Da Lang and others are not the ones who hope that Shu will have a bad life. Peony tilted her head and thought for a while, buried her head and continued to do things, before she crushed a bowl of almonds, Shu'er came in lightly and whispered in her ear: "The letter has been handed over to you, and he rode there." ”
Peony nodded, although everything was just her intuition, there was no evidence, and she didn't know about those intricate relationships, but she still hoped that Jiang Changyang could grasp more of the situation and protect himself.
But it was said that Lu Wulang went out of He's house, went straight to Fengle Fang, entered Fengle Fang, turned around, turned around, turned to the back door of a big house and got off the horse, the little guy stepped forward and gently knocked on the door twice with the handle of the horsewhip, and it took a long time for the door to gently open a crack, and an old man came out, swept Lu Wulang's eyes, and immediately got up to get out of the way, and stepped forward to lead the horse with a smile on his face: "My cousin is here?" ”
Lu Wulang nodded, gave the little guy a look, and the little guy hurriedly grabbed a handful of money and gave it to the old man, and silently followed the old man and led the horse away. Lu Wulang walked lightly along an ice-cracked stone path, bypassing the elegant and quiet rockery and flowing water, walked to a small building and stood still, and coughed lowly.
The stone blue curtain was raised, and Ah Hui poked her head out and smiled: "My cousin is here?" Madame has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Lu Wulang entered the house and handed the cloak to Ah Hui: "Auntie is upstairs?" ”
Ah Hui hung up the cloak for him, and said softly: "I'm watching the embroidery girl make a small quilt." Did the trip go well? ”
Lu Wulang shook his head, walked to the brocade by the window and sat down: "Please come down, Madame." ”
Qin Niang's crisp and pleasant voice sounded from upstairs: "Wulang, come up." Then two embroidery girls in stone blue skirts walked down the stairs quietly, holding white rattan boxes full of needlework, and quietly exited the small building with their eyes down. Ah Hui stood quietly by the door and became the door god.
Lu Wulang lifted his robe and went upstairs, and through the water spirit curtain, he could see Qin Niang lazily leaning on the brocade couch by the window, looking out of the window and not moving. She was wearing a light purple lotus-patterned robe, the four butterfly hairpins with gold knots on the bun spread her wings, and her snow-white slender hands were holding cups of steaming hot tea, looking lazy and charming.
Aunt Cai opened the curtain for Lu Wulang: "What kind of tea do you want to drink?" ”
Lu Wulang said: "Whatever." ”
"Give him a bowl of the purple bamboo shoots I drank." Qin Niang turned her head and didn't adjust her sitting posture, only complained: "It's getting colder and colder this day, so that this person has no energy at all." ”
Lu Wulang sat on the crescent stool by the crystal curtain from a distance, holding a silver-gilt amphora teapot, and said with some restraint: "Auntie is not the same as usual, so she shouldn't sit there and blow the cool breeze." ”
Qin Niang smiled and tightened her robe: "How are things going?" ”
Lu Wulang said: "Sure enough, as you expected, she refused." Then he told him what had happened, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but say, "Auntie, if she agrees, what will you do?" ”
Qin Niang turned the teacup in her hand, stared at the rising water vapor and said softly: "She and I are strangers at all, she just went through that kind of thing, and she almost suffered a big loss, I heard you say that I am pregnant, and I have a separation with King Jing, unless I am stupid, I will come." Don't worry, what I said counts, if she is really stupid, if she really comes, I will try not to make her suffer. ”
Lu Wulang was silent for a long time, and said, "Auntie, this thing can't be done, what should you do with King Jing?" ”
Qin Niang smiled: "What should I do?" Chilled salad! It's not my fault that the fish didn't take the bait. He's made a few moves himself, but aren't they all the same? If he blames me for this, he deserves to be unable to do it. She gently and skillfully said something that ordinary people would not dare to hear or say.
Lu Wulang clenched the cup in his hand uncomfortably, he accidentally got involved in this kind of thing, and he didn't know if he would be beaten to death by his mother when he went back. But when he thought of seeking wealth and danger, if he was lucky, the future of the entire family would be bright, and everything would be different, and he was a little excited.
"You don't have to worry, if he really wants to win over that person, he will naturally think of something else and make a lot of efforts." Qin Niang glanced at Lu Wulang, looked at his white knuckles, and said gently: "It's really embarrassing for you to let you do this kind of thing, after seeing His Highness tonight, you can leave for Yangzhou tomorrow." If your mother asks, tell the truth, what to do, and she will know in her heart. I didn't want you to get involved in this, but you and I were unlucky, and we happened to bump into him. I'm the one who drags you down. ”
Lu Wulang said boldly: "Auntie, it's probably not bad luck, but sooner or later." "If you are targeted by a wolf, how can you escape? Unless the wolf gives up and changes his mind, or can kill the wolf.
Qin Niang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "Probably yes." It's almost time, you go down and rest for a while, and I'm going to get dressed. ”
