Chapter 162: Roasted Venison in the Snow
In the palace, the emperor was sitting high on the Jinluan Palace, kneeling down to the Lu Pavilion, that is, there were several charcoal basins in the hall, and the Lu Pavilion still felt very cold.
"The slave has done everything according to his orders." He said respectfully, "Lady Yu also received fifty rods." ”
Feng Huang's gaze retracted from the fold and slowly fell on him, "What's wrong with her?" ”
"It's no big deal, those eunuchs did what you ordered, but they only hurt the flesh and skin."
A trace of worry crossed Feng Huang's eyes, but then disappeared without a trace, and then he said a few words to Liu Xuanwu beside him, and Liu Xuanwu took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and slowly sent it to Lu Ge.
"This is the best gold sore medicine, you give it to her, but don't let anyone know that I gave it." Feng Huang's voice was light and cold.
Lu Ge's head slammed on the ground, and then took it respectfully, "Weichen obeys." ”
"In the future, I won't ask you what happens to the Chengguo Mansion, but if she is half damaged, I will treat you for offending." Feng Huang said coldly, "Stand down." ”
When Lu Ge came out of the Jinluan Palace, he still felt cold on his body.
The calyx porcelain bottle in his hand had already been caught in a thin layer of fine sweat, he opened the bottle and sniffed it carefully, and then sneered: "It turned out to be a tribute gold sore medicine, and it is really a tyrannical thing to give to this woman." ”
After speaking, he couldn't help but sneer, stuffed the medicine into his arms, and then turned his head to look at the resplendent Jinluan Palace, "Your Majesty, it seems."
Weichen is going to disappoint you, I have no intention of letting go of Gu Jue's favorite woman at all. ”
How proud he was in his life before he met Gu Jue, and only Gu Jue called him like a slave, so how could he not hate him unforgettablely, even the women around him, he would never show mercy.
Gu Jue was idle in the house all day long, so he teased Yu Zhiyan every day, smeared grease powder on her thrush every day, and all boring things were almost done.
Yu Zhiyan lay on the bed and couldn't move, so he could only let him mess around.
"You are so idle now, it is better to learn to embroider flowers, and make a shirt for Arnold in the future, and when others ask in the future, won't you have a face on your face." Yu Zhiyan said a little jokingly, "What do you think?" ”
Since ancient times, it has been a male farmer and a female weaver, and I have never heard of a man embroidering at home.
If it's a man next to him, it's just that, this Gu Jue wants to be extremely negative, where can he do such a thing.
So when he nodded calmly with a full face, Yu Zhiyan's jaw was about to drop in shock.
"What?!" Yu Zhiyan's face was full of astonishment, "Do you really want to embroider?" ”
Without waiting for Yu Zhiyan's orders, he brought the unfinished needlework, which happened to be Arnold's jacket.
The scarlet jacket was covered with light ink with a few small tigers, one of which was only half embroidered with a ball rolling, and he picked it up and continued to embroider.
Yu Zhiyan looked at it carefully and carefully, and only felt that the injuries on his body didn't hurt at all, so he couldn't wait to get up and bring in all the people in the house, and look
He embroidered.
Gu Jue's embroidery was not good at the beginning, Yu Zhiyan only pointed out one or two points on the side, and he became more and more comfortable, but in a moment's time, he embroidered the eyes of two tigers.
Yu Zhiyan was almost stunned, but he saw him gently pinching the needle with two fingers, his eyes were half-squinted, and his serious and careful appearance made Yu Zhiyan's heart like a deer colliding.
She completely forgot the pain on her body, and she didn't need to be supported by others, she just knelt on the bed and watched.
"Show me." Yu Zhiyan hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and then his thin white fingers slowly stroked the tiger's head, "The embroidery is better than the maid's, and the stitches are so delicate." ”
The woman who kept screaming about the pain just now was so energetic, he couldn't help laughing: "I just embroidered flowers for a while, and even the wounds on your body were healed." ”
Yu Zhiyan didn't seem to hear his ridiculous words, and only asked with a light in his eyes, "You have done this before, and there will never be a person in this world who is born to do so well." ”
Gu Jue pondered for a while, and then said: "When I was a child, I often saw my sister embroidering flowers and grass, but when I was out marching and fighting, some guards were injured, and sometimes I would help them stitch up their wounds. ”
Yu Zhiyan still didn't believe it, "So you can embroider like this?" What face do you let the women of the world live? ”
He snatched the half-embroidered garment again, began to embroider it again, and then said with a smile: "At that time, everyone in the army praised me for the best sewing, and I only thought that they only slipped their whiskers and patted horses, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
Yu Zhiyan looked at him embroidered with a tiger's whiskers, and couldn't help but become more and more concerned about Gu Jue, "Do you know how to cook?" ”
Gu Jue pulled the thread, and then skillfully bit it off with his teeth, "Yes." ”
Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but think that if he hadn't stopped him, he could almost become the champion, but in the end, he also became a martial champion, and he was actually a person who was both civil and military.
Yu Zhiyan then remembered that he was actually a person who could write and martial arts, he knew everything about this man, and he was even very good at his daughter's things.
Gu Jue saw the appearance of the baby on her face, so she became more and more proud: "Why, it's amazing to be a husband." ”
Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but speak, "In addition to being pregnant and giving birth, you really know everything, and you really admire it very much." ”
Hearing this, Gu Jue felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a dead fly, and said angrily: "Are you disgusting with your intentions?" ”
The two of them only quarreled for a while, but one of them came uninvited.
Now that Lu Pavilion has become the master of this Chengguo Mansion, there is no need to say hello anywhere. Now he relies on the emperor to support him behind his back, and the servants in the mansion are the emperor's eyes, and he can't help but take it more and more rampantly.
"Yo, why did Mr. Gu embroider the flowers?" Lu Ge's face was full of ridicule, "Don't worry, when I enter the palace, I will naturally show the saint and say that you are more and more diligent and thrifty." ”
Yu Zhiyan saw that Gu Jue's face was getting more and more ugly, and couldn't help but say: "Donglang, didn't you say that you were going to hunt outside the city, if you delay it any longer, it will be too late." ”
That Gu Jue didn't have the heart to be considerate with Lord Lu, so he snorted coldly and left, leaving without even saying a word.
After Gu Jue left, Yu Zhiyan only thought that this blind Lord Lu would also leave, but who knew that she looked at Yu Zhiyan with bad intentions, and then said: "Your complexion is very good, and you must be recovering quickly." ”
Yu Zhiyan was really disgusted with this Lord Lu, and only said: "If Lord Lu comes to see me, since you see it, you will leave, and I will bother you to think about it." ”
Na Lu Ge sneered, "You are now a cheap maid who is also worthy of my visit, but today I asked the housekeeper, you have not followed the rules in terms of food and clothing these days, and besides, you are a slave maid, and you are also accompanied by two maids to serve." ”
Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but be angry, this Lord Lu is really a treacherous villain, and he deliberately didn't let her have a good time.
"What do you want to do?" Yu Zhiyan almost gritted his teeth and asked, "Even a girl who has a room has to take care of her injuries." ”
"It's natural, you have to take care of your injuries." Lu Ge sneered, "After the injury is healed, I will come according to the rules of the maid." ”
After saying that, he walked away proudly, making his stomach full of anger.
Because of the fire in his heart, Yu Zhiyan didn't even eat a few bites of lunch before putting down his chopsticks. Because it was inconvenient for her to go to the ground, she could only let the maid bring it to the bed to eat.
The maid brought down the meal, and was rinsing her mouth with light tea, but saw Yu Zheshuang come in with a worried face.
The green silk on her bun was cut off in half by Gu Jue, and she was only holding a flying bun, and the short section was tied with a jade hairpin.
In the past few days, it has been taboo that Gu Jue has been here, but as soon as Gu Jue left, he came over.
Her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and she came up and grabbed Yu Zhiyan's hand tightly, and asked, "Is my sister's injury better?" That day it was like that, I was afraid that the wounds on my body would be serious, but I had no choice, so I had to kill me when I waited. ”
Yu Zhiyan said lightly, "What happened that day, sister-"
Yu Zheshuang thought that according to Gu Jue's temper, she had already told her about that day, and she would definitely add fuel and vinegar, so she could only find out the wind by herself.
"You listen to my explanation, because you were angry that day, I was upset, and the maid sang a little song to me privately, who knew that it was the "Crying Seven Passes", she was singing a few words and was stopped by me, who knew that the gap Donglang rushed in and wanted to kill me for no reason."
Yu Zhiyan suddenly laughed, and there was a bit of sadness in his eyes, "Sister, do you know what to laugh at?" ”
Looking at the gloom in his sister's eyes, Yu Zhishuang had a trace of panic in her eyes, "I am your own sister, don't listen to other people's nonsense, it's too late for me to avoid him now, how can I take the initiative to provoke him." ”
Yu Zhiyan shook his head slightly, his lips pursed slightly, "Dong Lang didn't tell me anything, but my sister told me about it." ”
Yu Zheshuang's face suddenly turned pale, and there seemed to be a faint mist under his eyes, "Folding smoke-"
"Actually, I know Gu Jue the most, although he is ridiculous, he has never told half a lie." Yu Zhiyan muttered, "That day, he was obviously looking at Arnold, and he wouldn't go to his sister's trouble halfway for no reason." ”
Hearing Yu Zhiyan's words, her sister's face suddenly turned pale.
"I still remember when I was going to get married and return to the capital from Jiangnan." The tears in Yu Zheshuang's eyes rolled down, "At that time, you pulled my sleeves and refused to let me leave." ”
Referring to the previous events, Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
"At that time, my cigarette said that I would wait for her in the future, and she would marry me into a family and be together for a long time." Yu Zhishuang muttered: "At that time, my aunt said that you were talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it to come true. ”
Hearing her sister say such words, Yu Zhiyan only felt a chill spread from her skin to the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but shiver.
She knew that she was cruel, but she still said the matter, "Sister, I know that you hate Donglang very much now, but can you let him go for the sake of my face, I really love him, really." ”
At the end, her voice became softer, almost silent.
Yu Zhishuang looked directly into her eyes, as if she wanted to see her heart, and then her lips pursed slightly, "Who said that I don't like Dong Lang, the moment she lifted my hijab, she already recognized him, even if he died, I will also pull him." ”
She clearly saw the hatred in her sister's eyes, but only for a moment, she felt a complete chill.
And at this moment, Steward Wu came in under the leadership of Bai Zhu'er.
He glanced at the two sisters, and then said respectfully: "The servant has sent the account books of the family for the past few days, and the charcoal fire in the house is gone, and ten taels of silver must be paid from the account." ”
Although Yu Zhiyan has been in charge of the account for a few days, he has been beaten and put it on hold, and he was about to open his mouth to send the housekeeper out, but he saw Yu Zhishuang walking over and taking the account book.
She only flipped through it casually, with the posture of a hostess, "Our mansion has been really extravagant these days, and the things we bought are only good, and now there are only 1,300 taels of silver on the books, and they are all obtained by selling old things in the mansion." ”
Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but sigh, although she didn't care about her family, but in the heyday of the Chengguo Mansion, she went out thousands of taels of silver every day
No wonder.
When Yu Zheshuang was in Jiangnan, she often helped her aunt take care of things in the house, which was far better than Yu Zheyan, who could only be the shopkeeper.
Na Yu Zhishuang only began to inquire carefully about the affairs of the house, and the housekeeper replied respectfully.
Soon Na Yu Zhishuang began to command, almost every detail, and Steward Wu listened with admiration on his face, and he didn't seem to expect that this woman who looked weak would have such a skill.
Yu Zhiyan was only bored of listening, and now she was recuperating from her injuries, and she couldn't move, so she could only listen quietly.
In the end, Yu Zhishuang slowly turned around, and then said to Yu Zhiyan: "I took a look at the accounts of the past few days, most of them went to buy ginseng or precious tonics, and I saw that my sister's injuries were already healed, so I guess I don't need these anymore." ”
Yu Zhiyan couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart, now her sister is actually deducting like this, and even her sister uses some silver to cut it like this.
She couldn't help but feel a little disheartened, and only said dejectedly: "From then on, I will only follow the maid's order, and the silver will only be deducted from me." ”
Seeing her like this, Yu Zheshuang smiled and said, "I'm just for this family, don't blame me, sister." ”
Now Yu Zhiyan is just a slave in the house, where can he say anything, he only said lightly: "My sister is now in charge of the affairs of the family, and I naturally want to look forward to you." ”
"That'll be fine." Yu Zheshuang looked at her, "Now that my sister is a girl in the house, naturally she can't stay in Donglang's house, I will let someone clean up the wing room in my yard, and it just so happens that the two of us have a care." ”
Yu Zhiyan couldn't stand it anymore, it seemed that her own sister really regarded her as a slave, and she didn't have to discuss anything, she only made her own decisions.
"There are a lot of empty yards in the house, so why bother grabbing a yard with my sister."
Yu Zheshuang shook her head slowly, "Now our house is just a mountain of food, or save some, if my sister wants to move to another place, she has to clean it anew, and when she buys things, she naturally needs silver." ”
Yu Zhiyan was already unhappy in his heart, but after all, he didn't want to refute his sister's face, so he only said lightly: "It's good that my sister is in charge."
Soon Yu Zhishuang left, and when she left, she comforted Yu Zhiyan very gently, only allowing her to recuperate.
This made a fuss and became more and more tired, and he fell asleep on the bed in a daze, faintly hearing footsteps, and did not bother to open his eyes to see.
In a trance, a pair of cold hands were stuffed into her futon, only to touch her hot body, she couldn't help but be excited, and hurriedly opened her eyes.
But I saw Dong Lang sitting on the bed, and the unruly hands were touching her body, although she was separated from the bedclothes, it was like an ice edge, which made her very uncomfortable.
Yu Zhiyan hurriedly pushed his hand away, raised his eyes and glared at him fiercely, "You are such a bad person, don't get out of the way." ”
saw that he was wearing a big red gorilla felt, with a long spike of five-colored palace silk tied around his waist, a faint cold air on his body, and a bow and arrow that he had time to unload in the future.
"When you fell asleep, you didn't wake up at this time." He couldn't help but say worriedly: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep again at night, and my head hurts." ”
Yu Zhiyan saw through the window that it was already dark outside, and he must have slept for a few hours.
"What did you get from hunting today?" Yu Zhiyan asked with some interest, "But what kind of high-quality fox fur, I still want to make a small shoulder for Arnold and keep it for the New Year." ”
Gu Jue snorted coldly, "Now those nobles in the city are really idle, and they go hunting outside the city, and those birds and beasts have long been so frightened that they have gone back to their nests, where can they still be hunted." ”
Seeing that he returned empty-handed, with an angry look on his face, he couldn't help but comfort him softly: "Forget it, now that the New Year is approaching, it's better to kill less." ”
Gu Jue asked, "Is dinner available?" ”
Hearing him say this, Yu Zhiyan felt hungry, and even ate a few bites hastily at noon, and now he has not touched a drop of water.
"I know you haven't eaten anything, there's a light snow outside, let's go outside for a barbecue, it must be very interesting." Gu Jue said with a smile on his face, "It just so happened that I hunted a deer today. ”
Yu Zhiyan shook his head, "I'm injured like this, where do I still have the heart to do this." ”
"Today, the doctor said that you should stay and walk more, but you are too lazy to move." He said and pinched her face with his cold hand, "Look at what you have become thin these days, why don't you follow Young Master Ben to make up for it." ”
Yu Zhiyan was too lazy to move, and refused to move no matter what, but said: "It's very troublesome, and I have to find someone to roast and make a fire, and I don't know what to say." ”
Gu Jue smiled lightly: "Don't bother others, the meat that Young Master Ben roasted can be called a must." ”
Yu Zhiyan then remembered his morning embroidery, and couldn't help but mention Ke Ke Interest, and hurriedly asked Bai Zhu'er to bring his clothes, and after they were dressed, they went down to the garden west of the mansion with Gu Jue's support.
Gu Jue took the iron furnace and iron wire again, and only found the leeward place of a few green cypresses, and placed the stove and other things.
In addition to Bai Zhu'er, there was also a small house, and the two of them were busy and quickly cleaned up.
Gu Jue moved a stone bench from nowhere, took off his burqa again, and let Yu Zhiyan sit and wait,
In the past few days, Yu Zhiyan has seen that Gu Jue's face is no longer gloomy. The fiery flames reflected on his face, making his face even more angular.
The snow in the sky was not heavy, and it had melted by the time it fell by the fire. Yu Zhiyan's body was roasted warmly, which was very pleasant.
Gu Jue cut a large piece of meat from the deer's leg and roasted it on the wire.
At the beginning, Yu Zhiyan only felt that he really had no appetite for blood. When he was cooked, he felt full of aroma, and for a while his stomach rumbled uncontrollably.
Gu Jue sprinkled the venison with salt, then gently blew the hot air on it, and hurriedly handed it to her, "Fool, taste it." ”
Yu Zhiyan was already impatient, and she was about to bite when she opened her mouth, but before her thin white teeth touched the fragrant meat, a basin of cold water splashed over her head.
Before she could react, she saw countless basins of water poured on the burning stove, and suddenly the fire in the furnace was extinguished, and only choking black smoke was emitted.
"What are you doing? Isn't it crazy? Gu Jue had already stood up at this time, looking directly at the little guy standing in front of him, and a few words in his eyes were spewing fire.
At this time, Na Lu Ge came from behind the crowd, glanced at the embarrassed scene, and pretended to be remorseful.
"It turns out that Mr. and Mrs. Gu are roasting venison, I thought it was out of the water, so I brought someone here." He smiled, "I'm here to make amends for you." ”
"I see you're all blind." Gu Jue was originally by Yu Zhiyan's side, and a lot of cold water was poured on his body, and then he pointed to Na Lu Ge and said, "You tie him up for me." ”
Those little guys still have iron basins in their hands, but they haven't moved, and they also know who the current master is.
Gu Jue knew that he was just a lonely person in the Chengguo Mansion now, except for Yu Zhiyan, who depended on him for his life, everyone else was just a lackey of the person in the palace.
Gu Jue smiled slightly, but his eyes were full of coldness, and then he didn't say a word, and walked back with Yu Zhe's cigarette.
Yu Zhiyan still held the roasted venison in his hand, stuffing it into his mouth as he walked.
Gu Jue walked away angrily for a while, and then faintly heard the sound of eating behind her, and hurriedly turned around to see her munching on venison.
He couldn't help but stop, and said hatefully: "When is it, I still want to eat, and I am really a fool." ”
Yu Zhiyan didn't care, "It's delicious, but it looks like the salt has been washed away by the water, and it really doesn't taste good." ”
Hearing her say so solemnly, she couldn't help but be amused, but when she saw that her clothes were wet, she went back to the house to change her clothes
went.
