Chapter 103: Wishful but Sad
The old lady said that she asked on the side, and Holly said that she didn't want to go anywhere, so she stayed in Qinfu.
The superior still sighed: "It's hard for you, old sister, to do this." ”
The old lady said that she would never treat Holly badly, and there was no embarrassment about having an extra pair of chopsticks.
After chatting about the two girls, the topic returned to the marriage of Xu Yijin and Princess Jinghe.
The old lady took the initiative to mention the total amount that happened some time ago, remained neutral, and sounded objective and straightforward, without personal feelings.
"Xiao Shu, I'm really spoiled by the queen." The superior asked the maidservant to send out half a palm-sized jade Ruyi and handed it to the old lady, "Xu Shizi has a favorite person and should be an adult, and I don't have anything to give, this Ruyi is a little careless." ”
The old lady took the object with both hands and bowed to thanksgiving.
Then the group said goodbye to the superiors one by one.
Wen Wanrong has never seen such a fine workmanship, and then look at the jade color head, which is the best of the best.
After reading it, she returned to the old lady: "Grandmother, Ah Rong boldly guesses, does the meaning of this jade Ruyi mean, jade people, Ruyi?" It also saves the face of the eldest aunt and uncle. ”
The old lady laughed and said that she had a lot of thoughts.
Holly laughed along.
However, Wen Wanrong found that Holly seemed to have something on her mind since she came to Lingtuo Temple in the morning, and she smiled a little perfunctorily.
She wanted to ask, but felt like she had a lot of mouths.
After thinking about it again and again, I decided to give up.
When she returned home, Holly accompanied the old lady, and Wen Wanrong went back to her small yard alone.
As soon as he entered the house, Qin Yang was lying on a rocking chair pretending to be dead, and the two of them chatted hotly in the yard.
He saw Wen Wanrong and pointed out the door: "Tell them to leave quickly, Lao Tzu has been noisy all morning, annoying!" ”
Wen Wanrong laughed. immediately went out and asked Xu Yijin to take Yuya to talk outside the hospital.
Then Xi Zizi ran in and sat next to Qin Yang: "Let me tell you, Cousin Xu's marriage is eighty percent fine." ”
Qin Yang looked disdainful: "Do you know again? ”
Wen Wanrong told him about Lingtuo Temple, and it was a pity at the end: "I was too nervous, so I saw the Queen Mother's phoenix shoes, what the Queen Mother looked like, I didn't see it." ”
Qin Yang didn't care: "If you don't see it, you don't see it, and you can't do anything if you see it." ”
"Really?" Wen Wanrong felt that she had missed a great opportunity in vain, "I'm curious if I haven't seen it, and unlike you, there is always a chance to enter the palace, and it's not uncommon to see more." ”
Qin Yang thought she was ignorant: "Lao Tzu is a saint when he enters the palace." Running to the harem? Want to die? ”
Thinking about the kind of woman like Queen Du, he really couldn't arouse his interest, thinking that the harem was not as interesting as Pink Lane.
Think of Powder Alley again...... Gone are the days of being happy and happy.
Qin Yang realized later, when did he become a kite in Wen Wanrong's hand, let him fly, and when he thought he could fly out of the sky, the other party gently tugged on and had to go home.
Then the little evil thoughts in my heart bred up, and I decided that when the injury was healed, I should ask Song Zhi to go to Fan Lane for a stroll, drink flower wine or something, and go back to the house before the big deal, as long as it is not discovered by Wen Wanrong, it is not a big problem.
"What do you want to talk to? I didn't respond to your questions. Probably thinking too much, Wen Wanrong talked to him for a long time, but didn't hear a word.
When he came back to his senses, he looked detached and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Which girl did you think you wanted to be so distracted just now?" Wen Wanrong glanced at Bai dissatisfied, got up and went to change clothes behind the screen, and her voice floated over, "I listened to my grandmother's tone today, Cousin Xu and eldest aunt will not stay in Yandu for a long time, don't you and Song Zhi send something to think?" ”
Qin Yang didn't bother to think about these false courtesies, anyway, the border station was his official business. Spot checks are less than two or three times a year, and it doesn't matter: "Don't you be the representative?" ”
Wen Wanrong poked her head out from behind the screen: "I can only represent you as a representative, what about Song Zhi?" This time Ah Jin was injured, not to mention that he was not responsible at all. ”
Qin Yang didn't think it was a big deal: "Send someone to tell him, he knows it in his heart." ”
Wen Wanrong said that she knew, she didn't say anything more, she thought about taking advantage of the past few days to buy a dowry for Yuya, buy as much as she could, and if it was not easy to bring or could not be bought in a short time, all of them would be folded into silver tickets and taken away by Yuya.
Qin Yang saw that she was busy and ignored her. Now he can't resist on his shoulders, he can't lift his hands, and he can't help.
At the same time that Wen Wanrong was worried about Yuya, Queen Du of Kunde Hall had just received a message from Lingtuo Temple, asking her to discipline Princess Jinghe well, and it was not easy to be in a hurry about the horse, and she would discuss it again in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Mid-Autumn ......
Now that it has just come out of the ambush and dragged it to the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is clear that the Empress Dowager does not approve of the friendship between the Du family and Wu Dehou.
Queen Du's voice was cold: "Mama Wu, no matter what method you use in this palace, you want Baochun to explain it well." ”
Mama Wu was ordered to go out.
After a while, Princess Jinghe hurriedly came to the Kunde Palace, crying so much that the pear blossoms rained: "Queen Mother, Mama Wu took Baochun away, why is this?" The daughter is unknown, and the daughter is wronged. ”
Queen Du expected her to come, staring at her expressionlessly for a long time, her eyes did not hide her disgust and disgust, so strange that Princess Jinghe couldn't believe that the woman in the brocade dress in front of her was her mother who had raised her for sixteen years.
In addition, she had a weak heart, stopped crying, and muttered: "Queen Mother, her daughter is really wronged." ”
"Wronged?" Empress Du sneered, with a chill on her face, "Xu is the palace really wronged you, you rest in the Kunde Hall first, it won't be long before Baochun will recruit anything, see what she says, and then talk about your problem." ”
After finishing speaking, she began to pretend to sleep, and Princess Jing and Princess were sitting on pins and needles, and they didn't dare to breathe.
About an hour later, Mama Wu took a document with a bloody handprint and handed it to Queen Du: "Please take a look." ”
Empress Du looked at it carefully, and her face became more and more ugly.
Princess Jinghe knew that the matter was revealed, and sat on the chair and shook into chaff, unable to even hold the cup in her hand.
After reading it, Queen Du's eyes turned to Jinghe, and she seemed to be smiling: "Baochun is a capable person, and he is really talented to follow you." ”
Princess Jinghe bowed her head and remained silent.
Queen Du was like the calm before the storm, her eyes were not shocked, and she counted the crimes: "Injured the court officials, left the palace without permission, and suppressed the law with power, Xiao Shu, who gave you the guts?" ”
Princess Jinghe swallowed her saliva, and her voice was like a mosquito: "After returning to my mother, no one will give it." ”
Queen Du's tail voice was elongated: "No one gave it?" That is the responsibility of the queen mother, and your imperial grandmother told the queen mother to discipline you well. It seems that it is time for good discipline. ”
"Mother, Queen Mother......" Jinghe's eyes were full of tears of fear.
Queen Du ignored it directly and shouted loudly: "Someone!" Escort Princess Jinghe to the main courtyard of the Great Sect and wait for the delivery! ”
When Princess Jinghe heard that she was escorted to the main courtyard of the Great Sect, she was completely panicked, she didn't care about the number of courtesies, she hurriedly stood up, knelt in front of Queen Du, hugged her thigh, and cried: "Queen Mother, it's all Baochun's cheap maid's idea, and it has nothing to do with her daughter." The daughter was wronged! ”
Mama Wu stepped forward to break her hand and shouted to the palace people next to her: "What are you doing in a daze!" Don't come and help yet! ”
So Princess Jing and Princess Jing were dragged out of the Kunde Hall under the pull of a group of palace maids who were in a hurry.
Queen Du was not angry, and called Mama Wu again: "You tell Dazong Zhengyuan that Xiao Shu's previous marriage contract was cancelled, as for any mistakes, just hand over Baochun's confession, and punish as much as you want, and you don't have to tolerate it." ”
Now that it's a scrapped chess, what's the use of keeping it!
Mama Wu lowered her hand and said that she knew, but she was stopped by Queen Du just when she turned around.
She said respectfully: "What else does Niangniang have to say?" ”
Empress Du's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, and she asked about an earlier incident: "Mama Wu, I asked you to check the matter of money and wine before, how did you find out?" ”
Mama Wu's face was embarrassed, she hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "Back to Niangniang's words, the old slave can't investigate this matter." ”
"Can't check it out?" Empress Du squinted slightly, "What do you mean?" ”
Mama Wu pondered and said: "The background of the money sacrifice wine is more complicated than imagined, the old slave originally planned to find out, but now I have to ask Niangniang what to do next?" Because of the matter of Princess Jinghe, it was delayed for two days. ”
She is Queen Du's confidant, Queen Du didn't blame much, and asked Mama Wu to go to the main courtyard of Dazong to finish her work first, and then come back to talk about the money and wine in detail.
Two days later, a little palace maid found Baochun's body in an infrequently used well.
This Baochun person is gone, and the princess Jinghe is imprisoned in the main courtyard of the Great Sect, knowing nothing, and complaining to the people who went to visit: "Sister Huang, I was really wronged!" You must catch that little hoof and give it to the queen mother! It's all Baochun's fault, it's all her idea! ”
The visitor asked her to calm down: "I will go and tell the queen mother, you stay here honestly first, don't cause trouble, and be careful that the people in the main courtyard of the main sect go to the queen mother to complain." ”
Princess Jinghe was full of disdain: "What is so terrible about the people in the main courtyard of the Great Sect!" ”
The visitor sneered and quipped, "My sister, you dare to say such things here." ”
paused: "I still have something to do, go first, you remember my words." ”
As soon as he came out of the main courtyard, someone immediately came to report and whispered: "Eldest princess, Baochun is gone." ”
The eldest princess is only two years older than Princess Jinghe, but she looks much more mature, a vermilion brocade gown, and the skin is like snow, the green silk is like a waterfall, and the slender gold thread Su Liubu hangs at the end of the Lingyun bun. The pleats fell on the back of the head, dazzling and flamboyant, looking like the beauty of Queen Du when she was young.
"Got it." She snorted and turned to leave.
A little palace maid dared to step forward and asked, "Eldest princess, do you want to tell Princess Jinghe about this?" ”
Immediately ushered in the fierce gaze of the eldest princess.
"Palm!" She ordered, leaving a palace maid to guard it.
When the eldest princess walked away, the little palace maid who was clapped cried.
The other looked at her red and swollen cheeks that were beaten, couldn't bear it, and reminded in a low voice: "Who told you to talk more?" It's light to punish you today, a few times ago, two new little girls just died in the princess's mansion, just like you, two more words lost their lives. ”
After saying this, the little girl didn't even dare to cry, but said that she wouldn't dare to talk nonsense in the future.
And when the eldest princess went to the Kunde Hall to meet Queen Du, Mama Wu was talking about money and wine.
She picked up her ears: "Can the queen mother be talking about the newly appointed Guozi priest wine of the Hanlin Academy?" ”
Mama Wu was stunned, looked at Queen Du's eyes, and stepped aside.
When Queen Du saw the eldest princess, she showed a long-lost smile, patted the soft couch beside her, and asked people to talk to her side.
The eldest princess smiled over, took Queen Du's arm, and continued: "My daughter heard Qi Xian say that her father attached great importance to this money sacrifice wine, and asked him to go to the imperial study every now and then. ”
The speaker has no intention, and the listener has a heart.
Queen Du glanced at Mama Wu without a trace. Mama Wu immediately understood, took two steps back, and turned to leave.
The eldest princess subconsciously asked, "Where is Mama Wu going?" ”
Queen Du smiled and changed the topic, asking the eldest princess to taste the black plum soup cooked in the imperial dining room.
The mother and daughter said something considerate, and while the queen was in a good mood, the eldest princess interceded for Jing and the princess.
Queen Du asked her to leave this matter alone, and said lightly: "Your sister Xiao Shu has the Queen Mother to take care of her, so you don't need others to care." ”
When the eldest princess heard this, she laughed and said that she understood.
The originally calculated game of chess was ruined in the hands of a little girl who didn't know the height of the sky, and Queen Du kept this account firmly in her heart.
Later, when she learned that Song Taijun entered the temple to offer incense during the closure of Lingtuo Temple, she understood a little better.
The so-called slap does not make a sound.
She wondered why the Queen Mother suddenly intervened, it seems that there is no coincidence in everything, it is all artificial.
The Qin family secretly blocked ......
Queen Du sneered, she is really the Du family, and her queen party is nothing?
It was time to tighten the chains around the wolf's neck, she thought.
Five or six days later, Qin Yang received an order from the Privy Council to return to his post by the middle of this month at the latest.
Wen Wanrong knew the news when the two were talking on the pillow at night.
She was slightly stunned, and said that she didn't agree with anything: "The doctor said that he would cultivate for at least three months." Returning to work in the middle of the month? Is it openly embarrassing? ”
Qin Yang thought about it, almost: "In the middle of the month, there are also two and a half months, and there is no big problem." ”
"What's not a big problem?" Wen Wanrong rolled over and got up, threw the fan in her hand on the bed, and said unhappily, "You don't want to be better, do you?" ”
"What a tantrum on a hot day." Qin Yang laughed, pulled Wen Wanrong to lie down, and asked her to continue fanning, "Lao Tzu found that you have a good temper recently. ”
Wen Wanrong was very obedient and picked up the fan and continued to fan: "I'm worried about you, change people, you see that I don't have a word." ”
"Yes, yes, I know you feel sorry for Lao Tzu." Qin Yang didn't hesitate, "Du Scrapwood personally asked someone to send the instruction book, what can I do, go and see what's going on first, and then say that there are still a few days before the middle of the month, what are you panicking about." ”
Wen Wanrong glanced at him: "You have a big heart." ”
It's not that big heart, Qin Yangba has to go, he hasn't had enough days of eating and waiting for death.
"Sleep, sleep." He thought about it, a little upset.
I don't know because it's hot. It was still a sudden news of resumption, and both of them couldn't sleep well all night.
During the day, the two of them couldn't take a good nap.
This is the end of the friendship between Jing and the princess, and the eldest aunt and Xu Yijin don't want to dream too much at night, and plan to take Yuya back to Zhangmu City as soon as possible.
They want to leave, the old lady must be reluctant, and the next time they meet, I don't know when, so I asked Holly and Wen Wanrong to accompany the eldest aunt to go around Yandu more, eager to buy everything that is not available in Zhangmu City and bring it back.
Yuya's hands are still unable to do things, Xu Yijin is recovering well, but she can't lift heavy objects for the time being, but she helps her little lady clean up. Not a problem.
When everything was ready, on the last night in Yandu, Yuya begged Wen Wanrong if she could sleep together at night?
Qin Yang definitely disagreed, and gave in to the maximum, and Wen Wanrong could say more.
Wen Wanrong thinks about it, it's okay, even if it is said that it is her business in the middle of the night, to ensure that Qin Yang wakes up tomorrow morning and can see people when she opens her eyes.
She happily ran to the Yuya house, squeezed into the small box bed with her, suddenly remembered the past, and sighed with some emotion: "Yuya, when I was a girl in Wenfu before, it was cold in winter, so I squeezed a bed with others to keep warm. ”
Yuya didn't quite understand her feelings, so she only asked: "Isn't it good that the second master is so good to his wife and doesn't have to squeeze the small bed?" ”
"Okay." Wen Wanrong smiled from the bottom of her heart, but after laughing for a while, the corners of her mouth slowly closed, "Wait for you and Cousin Xu to have a married life." Maybe you'll understand how I feel. ”
She feels that marriage is a prison for drawing the ground, and the people who have been trapped in it for a long time miss the life outside the circle.
Is Qin Yang bad for her?
Of course it's good.
But sometimes their thoughts are out of sync, and Wen Wanrong just wants to be alone and quiet.
She didn't know if Qin Yang had such feelings.
Still in a daze, she felt that her shoulders were hot, Wen Wanrong pulled back her thoughts, and saw Yuya leaning over boldly, holding her arm very dependently, bowing her head and saying nothing.
"What's wrong?" She asked softly.
Yuya's voice was muffled: "I can't bear to think that after tomorrow, the slave and maid will not know how long it will take to see Mrs. again." ”
Wen Wanrong smiled and scolded her for being a fool: "We can write letters." ”
Yuya confessed her thoughts: "Madam, the prince is really good to the slave maid. But the slave maid was afraid of Mrs. Qin. ”
Wen Wanrong smiled: "The ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws." ”
Yuya shook her head and whispered: "But Mrs. Qin doesn't like slaves and maids, and she is not satisfied with slaves and maids, these slaves and maids know it." ”
Wen Wanrong sighed and didn't say a word.
Yuya continued: "But madam, don't worry, the slave will not embarrass you in the Xu family. ”
"If you don't want to, you can not go, I didn't force you to marry Cousin Xu." Wen Wanrong was a little distressed, "The Xu family is not your only destination, if you are willing to follow me all the time, there is no problem." ”
Yuya was silent for a moment. In the end, she didn't want to embarrass Xu Yijin.
Wen Wanrong touched her bangs and said softly, "I didn't mean to do that. ”
Yuya nodded and said she knew.
Wen Wanrong suddenly remembered something, got up, took out a few silver tickets from her sleeve pocket, and put them in Yuya's hand: "A total of five thousand taels of silver tickets, you put it away, what do you want to buy when you get to Zhangmu City, and it's not easy to talk to Ah Jin, just use your own money." ”
Not to mention five thousand taels, even one hundred taels of silver tickets are a lot of money in Yuya's eyes.
"Nope. No, no, the slave and maid can't ask for this money. She quickly pushed the silver ticket back.
Wen Wanrong pressed her arm and said firmly: "Yuya, this is the dowry I prepared for you, you must take it, even if the eldest aunt, uncle, and Ah Jin understand you, but the Xu family has other relatives you have to face." ”
She can't let Yuya be overstretched, she can't suffer the losses she has suffered, and she can't let a person who looks like a dog can also point at Yuya's nose and complain, and make accounts in the account room.
The reason why he was criticized at the beginning was because he didn't have a hard mother's family to rely on?
She thought, just because she didn't, she couldn't let Yuya follow her old path: "When you arrive in Zhangmu City, you will write to me, tell me what you need, and tell me if you have any difficulties." ”
Yuya's eyes were red, and she continued to nod.
Wen Wanrong didn't want to cry sadly before they were separated, and finally touched Yuya's bangs and said with a smile: "Okay, you go to bed early, get up early tomorrow and get ready to go, I'm going back to accompany the second master." ”
Yuya didn't say anything.
Wen Wanrong got up and left.
She thought it would be like that, everyone had to go their own way.
Even if you marry Yuya to a Yandu family and live a life of being a little rich, is Xiaofu really safe?
Who can guarantee that something will happen to the family.
As she went out, she distinctly heard sobbing from the back room.
Wen Wanrong suddenly wanted to cry, she thought that if Yuya was Holly's character, even if Holly was half smart, maybe she wouldn't have to put so much effort into pushing Yuya out of the deep mansion compound.
Maybe......
When he returned to his room, the oil lamp on the table of the Eight Immortals was still on, and Qin Yang was already asleep.
She lightly undressed and went to bed, quietly looked at the sleeping side face, let out a soft sigh, blew out the lamp, and lay down.
Qin Yang reflexively turned over, put one arm on his head, and said something in a daze, but Wen Wanrong didn't hear clearly.
She was in a bad mood today and didn't want to pay attention to the people around her.
The next morning, Yuya seemed to be a lot sensible overnight, following behind her aunt like a little follower, taking the initiative to help her take things and do things.
Xu Yijin was afraid that she would be hot, so she was reluctant to let her be tired, so she asked her to rest in the carriage first, so she smiled at him and said that she was not tired.
Yuya had always laughed heartlessly before, and for the first time, Wen Wanrong saw that she was smiling insincerely.
She frowned slightly, and watched the carriage leave in a line of farewell greetings until it disappeared at the end of the street.
Wen Wanrong thought she would be relieved, but she wasn't.
From the moment she really felt Yuya leave, her heart seemed to be empty.
She thought that in the future, there would probably be no one to talk to her without scruples, listen to her speak ill of Qin Yang, and hate the same person as her.
Are they really a master-servant relationship?
Wen Wanrong asked herself, she never treated Yuya as a person.
She is like a sister, a relative, and even a little mother, and she will never have the heart to finish.
No one needs to worry about her anymore......
Yuya should be happy when she came out of the pavilion, why was she so satisfied and sad.
The next time they meet, what should they call Yuya?
Just like yourself, the surname of the husband, is it called Mrs. Xu?
When Qin Yang found her on the city tower, Wen Wanrong was squatting on the ground alone and crying.
Qin Yang squatted down and laughed: "Hey, Yuya married Xu Yijin as you wished, what are you crying about?" ”
"You know what!" Wen Wanrong raised her head, tears on her face, and her voice was crying.
Qin Yang smiled even more: "Okay, okay, I don't understand anything." ”
Then persuaded her: "The sun is big on the city tower, go home, hey, Lao Tzu is injured anyway, run to the city tower to accompany you to bask in the sun, don't you move, still cry?" ”
Wen Wanrong sniffed, wiped her tears, and said softly: "You go back first, I want to be alone." ”
Qin Yang got up and pulled her up: "Okay, you have to go back to the house quietly, there are few guards on the city tower who don't know Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu came here for you to appear, how stupid and stupid you are." ”
