Chapter 138: Yu Zhou Visits, Sits and Talks
On this day, October 28, after the autumn rain lingering, the gloomy weather for several days before it cleared, but the wind was more urgent, rolled up the red leaves, the fragrant flowers withered, the sun swaying outside the window lattice sprinkled on the face, and there was no warmth at all, the beautiful scenery returned from the Shouren Hall in the early morning, and had been nesting on the carved hot kang near the window, first snatched a few stitches of brocade embroidery in the hands of the spring twilight, in the end there was no mood, and then took a volume of words to look at it without a glance, and gradually doubted the silence of a few maids - if it was in previous years, they would not forget today, but why is there no half point at this time?
Chun Du sat on the edge of the kang, it seemed that all his thoughts were focused on the needle and thread in his hand, Leng didn't seem to respond to the master's frequent looks, Xia Ke seemed to have been busy looking for something, first sorted out a few boxes in the room, and then tossed up the jade play porcelain on the Baibao maple, and wiped it with white stacks one by one, regardless of the fact that it was clean and dust-free, the autumn frost and the autumn moon were not seen at all.
For example, my aunt was left by the Queen Mother today, I don't know what she is busy with, and she doesn't have time to take care of the beautiful scenery.
Even the Queen Mother seemed to be colder today than before, and Yi Jing accompanied her for a few words before being sent back.
From early in the morning, the good mood was cold, Yi Jing originally wanted to go to Yu Zhaoyuan to "greet", but when he arrived at the door, he saw Jiang Wei being sent out by ribbing, only to know that Yu Feng rested late last night, and before he got up, everyone didn't dare to disturb......
However, he met the third prince on the road, but Yijing didn't like to take care of him, and after seeing a few words, he hurried back to Yufangwu.
It's just that this day is so deserted, which really makes Yijing feel depressed.
This is her first birthday after being reborn, although she is not in her own house, but a few of them should be remembered in the spring twilight, but look at this situation, are they negligent?
If only that's it, it's okay, but today, there is an uninvited guest.
When I heard the palace people coming: "Yu Erlang, the general of Zhenguo, is here." ”
The mood of the beautiful scenery is even darker.
Chundu, who had been silent for a morning, finally said a word: "Why is Erlang here?" But he exchanged a look with Xia Ke, a little inexplicably flustered.
The scenery became more and more suspicious.
After all, this is in the palace, you can't be willful, Yu Zhou is a son of the sect, since he is here, he must be following the old princess to greet the queen mother - after the gathering in Xiapu Yuan, Yu Feng's "recovery" should be spread among the nobles, outsiders are just curious to discuss, but the old princess and the general of Zhenguo must be concerned, although the two are from different intentions.
In short, since Yu Zhou is here, she can't be closed doors.
"Spring twilight, please Brother Zhou go to the flower hall to sit down for a while, the weather is cold today, you have to prepare boiling hot tea." Yijing had to abandon the boring scroll in her hand, and first instructed Chun Du to greet Yu Zhou, and asked Xia Ke to tidy up her somewhat scattered sideburns for her, put on a robe covered with vermilion gauze and fine velvet lining, and rubbed it for a while before going to the flower hall.
Yu Zhou has been waiting a little worried, the last time in the Guogong Mansion, he was just careless, and he offended Yu Feng in words, which caused Yi Jing to look at each other coldly, and his heart was full of sour vinegar, but he was also very worried, for fear that Yi Jing would blame him at this time, and he had already brewed a stomach of rhetoric, only to see Yi Jing enter, and hurriedly got up to greet him, and he was laughing and laughing, but he was afraid of the presence of the maids, and it was finally not good to mention those words again, frequently hinting that he wanted Yi Jing to send Chun Du and Xia Ke out.
Yijing pretended not to notice, lazily saw the ceremony, sat across the case, and ignored the appearance, and his eyebrows were cold.
Why is Yu Zhou not in a hurry? I couldn't care about it anymore, glanced at the maid standing aside, and laughed awkwardly: "Fifth sister, the last time was that I didn't choose what to say, the original eldest brother's illness, after so many years, let the elders worry about it, and the next time I was disappointed and sad, I only said that this time it will be the same, I am afraid that the greater my grandmother's hope, the heavier the disappointment, so I complained a few words, but I don't know that the eldest brother himself is unwilling, how can I blame him?" It's my careful eyes, it's all my fault, and the fifth sister will forgive me this time. ”
Chun Du and Xia Ke suddenly realized, and said in their hearts that it is no wonder that Wu Niang treats Erlang like this today, it is for the sake of the son of the world, Erlang is really, he usually looks at people so kindly, and he doesn't want to treat his own siblings but is not as good as outsiders, this is not the demeanor of everyone's son.
Yi Jing glanced at Yu Zhou, naturally he would not believe his "heartfelt words", and his expression did not ease.
"Fortunately, God and Buddha blessed, this time the eldest brother finally recovered, my grandmother heard about it, and immediately couldn't help but be overjoyed, I originally planned to come yesterday, and I heard about the things in Xiapu Garden, and I knew that the Queen Mother summoned Mrs. Dong to the palace yesterday to comfort, and it was inconvenient to come, so I waited until today." Yu Zhou still refused to give up when he saw Yijing, and his heart became more and more anxious: "Fifth sister, I really know that I was wrong, I accompanied my eldest brother in person earlier, he doesn't blame me, you forgive me this time." ”
"Oh? You really accompanied Brother Feng, didn't you? Yijing was a little suspicious, and then thought about it, but he was afraid that Yu Zhou would hear that the prince had recovered, and he was also half-convinced, today's trip was supposed to find out, but when the matter was confirmed, and he was worried that he would be playing right and wrong in front of the prince, so he simply made a mistake first, lest the prince hate him in his heart.
General Zhenguo's family will never give up, in the last life, she was used to harm the son, I don't know what means will be used this time.
Thinking of this, Yi Jing's emotions gradually calmed down, it seems that she still has to continue to make a false relationship with Yu Zhou in order to paralyze their father and son.
Let them think, or maybe they will be able to use her again in the future.
When he saw Yu Zhou's assurance, Yi Jing Fang gave him a smile: "The reason why I reminded Brother Zhou is also for your own good, Brother Feng and you are cousins, if those words are listened to by others, wouldn't you criticize Brother for ignoring your siblings and harboring malice?" But I know that Brother Zhou was not that kind of person originally. ”
Yu Zhou was overjoyed when he heard this, and he sat in the chair and looked at the beautiful scenery and smiled stupidly.
Xia Ke on the side looked at this situation, clenched his palms tightly before holding back a smile - this Yu Erlang, looking older than Wu Niang, is really a fool, Wu Niang coaxed him as a child, he didn't notice it.
"The old princess also came to the palace today, right?" Yijing was bored in her heart, and she drank tea to hide the impatience in her eyes.
"Grandmother and mother are in Shouren Hall." Yu Zhou paused for a moment, and then reluctantly added: "The eldest brother is also here, I see that his complexion is really much better than before." Immediately ended the topic, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were piled up with flattery: "Originally, because the Queen Mother was also recuperating in the palace, my grandmother didn't want the juniors to accompany me, so I got this opportunity after a lot of entanglement, fifth sister, today is your birthday, but unfortunately it is in the palace, and it can't be lively." ”
Yi Jing couldn't help but glance at Chun Du and Xia Ke with grievance - this birthday, everyone was negligent, but Yu Zhou still remembered.
Chun Du and Xia Ke were already pretending to be hard, this time it was even more embarrassing, and they couldn't hold it anymore, Chun Du patted her forehead and panicked: "The slave is really damned, because she came to the palace with Wu Niang, she was negligent in such an important matter, and she should be punished, Wu Niang, don't blame Xia Ke, she just brought it up, and it is understandable to ignore this matter." ”
Yijing didn't speak yet, Yu Zhou complained to the two maids first: "Sure enough, I should be punished, I neglected the birthday of the fifth sister, it is difficult for her to treat a few girls as if she were sisters, look at you, it is not as smart as the winter rain, I saw her before, and she also reminded me not to forget the birthday of the fifth sister, remember to prepare a gift." ”
Yijing heard this, and the corners of her eyebrows raised slightly: "I'm not at home, Brother Zhou still went to Luqing Garden?" ”
Yu Zhou hurriedly explained: "Didn't Houfu Qi Niang clamoring to taste crabs before? In addition, the seventh sister's interest is also high, and the two of them are entangled, because the fifth sister is not there, I have no interest in going outside, so I simply called a table in the osmanthus building, and invited Brother Jing, Erlang and a few cousins to go to the palace to get together, Dongyu followed the third sister, like the maid next to the third sister was broken, and she couldn't find a caring person, and when she saw that she was idle, she was asked to wait over. ”
Yijing still had a smile on his face, and his heart was also sunny: he just left on the front foot, and the third sister was hot with Dongyu, but I don't know who took the initiative, looking at the appearance of Yuzhou in the winter rain a few times, I am afraid that my heart has begun to live, in my previous life, I really had a pair of eyes, but I didn't see Dongyu's ambition for Yu Zhou, and before he died, he didn't figure out how Dongyu could be so vicious.
I just don't know if Dongyu got his wish after he "committed suicide by taking poison", but I think about it, with Yuzhou's methods, there should be no living mouth for Dongyu.
My heart turned a thousand times, but it was a sigh of regret: "I really don't have a mouthful." ”
Yu Zhou hurriedly offered the treasure, took out the carefully prepared birthday gift, and said a series of auspicious words, such as Fangchen will stay in Yunyun forever.
Yi Jing opened the brocade box and saw that it was actually a gift from Banniang on Jiang Yue's birthday, and Liang Ji's handwritten "Remnant Year", and he was really surprised: "Isn't this the birthday gift given by the eighth sister to Ah Yue?" ”
"Houfu Qi Niang said that the fifth sister couldn't put it down, she didn't care much, so I took her to transfer it to me, the fifth sister rest assured, I don't have a strong man's difficulty, Qi Niang made a lot of money, not to mention the silver, and I also asked for a set of agate stone inlaid purple gold saddle I received." Seeing that Yijing seemed to be curious about the crab banquet that he was absent from, Yu Zhou was about to talk about the situation of that day one by one, and nothing else, that is, Erlang Su Ying was unlucky when he gave the order, and he lost seven or eight times just under Huang Qiniang, if it wasn't for Siniang's righteousness, he blocked a few rounds for him, and he would have to get drunk and drunk.
Yijing was surprised: "The second brother has a very dull temperament, and when he saw us in the past, he was noisy in etiquette and never played with his sisters, but that day was an exception. ”
"That's why he's unlucky." Yu Zhou said with a smile.
asked about Xiapu Yuan again: "In the past two days, even the Guozijian has been talking about it, but Zhen Saburo took a leave of absence again, thinking that he also felt that he had no face to show his face, but I heard Jin Qilang say a word, but I heard that it was very thrilling at the time, and the fifth sister was not frightened...... That Zhen Siniang is also a little vicious, even if the little ladies have a small holiday, where will they seek people's lives, the dog jumped over the wall and bit the fifth sister, but fortunately, the fifth sister was clever and saw through her tricks and did not let her succeed. ”
"What are the people saying?" For this matter, Yijing still has some concern.
"It is said that Zhen Siniang is vicious, and even Mrs. Zhen has been accused, saying that she has no way to teach her daughter, Zhen's fifth mother is just discussing her family, originally my grandfather still wanted to ask to go to Zhen's house for his cousin, this time I heard that Zhen Si's heart also dispelled her mind, she behaved like this, and she was afraid that the marriage of the first few cousins would be affected, it was really a scourge, and the fifth sister waited and see, there will be Zhen Si's guilt in the future."
Zhen's family also has four rooms, because the old lady is alive and well, and there is no separation, Zhen Mo's evil deeds will inevitably affect the cousin who is waiting to be married, even if Mrs. Zhen is openly protected, I am afraid that she will be coldly looked at by her family.
Compared with the tragic death of Dong Yin in the previous life, what she is suffering now is really not a heavy punishment.
In fact, with the prestige of the Zhen family, even if Zhen Mo's reputation is ruined, she will not be alone in the empty boudoir - the famous family can't think about it, but the general businessman's family, or the son-in-law, the choice is still there, but with Zhen Mo's "arrogance", she will not tolerate such grievances, she didn't even care about the prince's concubine at first, let alone marrying into the businessman's family, or recruiting a lowly husband.
As soon as the news of Xiapu Yuan spread, Zhen Mo could no longer gain a foothold in the aristocratic group.
But that's just the view and what most people think.
In fact, Zhen Mo herself still hasn't given up, and she is still planning to fight back.
In short, after some idle talk, Yu Zhou saw that Yijing really showed his face, and the burden in his heart could be put down, and he wanted to test the "relationship" between Yijing and Yu Feng, but before the words came out, Yijing stood up-
"Since the old princess and the second aunt have come to the palace, I also have to go to greet the courtesy, let's go to the Renshou Palace."
