Chapter 196: Things See the Light

The news that Zheng Lijun was given marriage to Zhu Jingcheng finally failed to hide Wen Hui. YZ u is here~ But the leak is not from Shilang's Mansion, but Liu Gu's who came back to save his relatives in the New Year.

At that time, Aunt Liu did not express his position, only said that he was busy with the previous year, and said that the family affairs of the princes and princes had not yet been decided, and then said that Wen Hui was sick and did not know when he would be able to raise it. Although Liu Gu was a little anxious, her husband's reasons were very high-sounding, and she was also worried about what bad consequences Wen Hui's pox would have, so she didn't say anything.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the palace made a decree, Zheng Lijun could no longer marry as the prince's wife and concubine, and Aunt Liu immediately relieved herself, signaling his wife to go home to save her relatives in the New Year, and asked Wen Hui how her condition was, and whether it was an obstacle to marrying after the beginning of spring? Liu Gu was surprised and delighted when he saw this, so he hurriedly returned to his parents' house.

She wanted to see Wen Hui, but Mrs. Yu only thought that Wen Hui's condition was no longer a big problem, but she still needed to recuperate, so she agreed casually. Jiang Shi knew that he was suffering, so he could only reluctantly say: "Hui'er's body is still weak, and the doctor said that he can't ...... it for the time being" Before he finished speaking, he was glared at by Mrs. Yu, who said: "Where did it come to this?" Didn't she say yesterday that she ate a bowl of bird's nest porridge at night? Since you can eat something, it's a great thing. It's rare for her aunt to come back, let her come and see it, it's also supposed that you know to spoil the child, it's good that your sister-in-law is here today, if you don't know, how sick is the sixth girl?"

Jiang Shi shivered and immediately understood what his mother-in-law meant. If Liu Gu's wants to see Wen Hui, she can't stop her, if she misunderstands that Wen Hui is very sick and can't even see her relatives, Wen Hui and Liu Dongning's relationship will be yellow

In the end, Jiang reluctantly agreed to Liu Gu's request. However, Liu Gu was in a good mood today, but he was empathetic, saying that since her niece was still recuperating, it would not be good to go out and blow the wind, and she was willing to deign to visit in person.

Liu Gu came to Wen Hui in this way.

Wen Hui was trapped for more than 20 days, and at first she still had the strength to make noise, but after a long time, Jiang Shi whispered in her ear every day, she had settled down, and the cloth belt that originally bound her had already been removed, except that she could not go out, she could move around freely in the room. Therefore, when she heard the instructions of the cuckoo sent by the Jiang family first, she had no intention of resisting, so she let the girls hurriedly comb her hair and change her clothes, and then half lay on the kang, leaning on the pillow and covering the quilt, like a lady in recuperation, and the room was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.

Liu Gu didn't have any suspicions, and saw that Wen Hui had a good complexion, with a ruddy face, and seemed to be a little plumper than when they met last time, so he was very happy: "It seems that the six girls are really good, and when the news came before, they all said that you were extremely sick, and you were afraid that Brother Ning and I would be like something, I was afraid that you would have a good one." Brother Ning still didn't care about his body, and insisted on braving the cold wind to pray for you in the temple, but in the end, your uncle scolded him, so he changed to worship the Bodhisattva at home. Now that I see that you are getting better, it can be seen that it is all blessed by God and Buddha, and when I go back and talk to Brother Ning, he will be very happy in his heart."

Wen Hui listened, her expression was a little strange, and she said after a while: "Thank you aunt and cousin for thinking about it, thank you for your trouble." ”

"You kid, what are you doing like this?" Liu Gu smiled and turned to Jiang, "The child is ashamed, right?" Speaking of which, they are not young anymore, now that the emperor has canonized the crown prince, the crown princess is about to enter the palace again, and even the Dongping Royal Mansion has begun to marry the prince, preparing to welcome Miss Zheng into the door next month. Compared with the prince, we Dongning are only a few months younger, and the marriage cannot be delayed any longer. What our lord meant was to ask my mother and my eldest brother and sister-in-law what they thought and see when it would ...... Pick a good day and set it for the two children, right? ”

Jiang's face turned pale, he didn't bother to answer, and only looked at his daughter with a pair of eyes. Wen Hui looked at Liu Gu with stunned eyes, opened her mouth, suddenly softened, leaned on the pillow, and asked weakly: "The prince of Dongping...... Want to marry Miss Zheng? What's going on? Lijun is not...... Aren't you going to marry the third prince? ”

Liu Gu was a little surprised: "What?" Didn't you tell you at home? Then he smiled again, "Presumably because you're recuperating, they don't want you to be distracted, right?" Actually......" showed a mocking smile, "This news should have surprised everyone, but the people in Beijing are all in their hearts." There are already traces that have been exposed before, who else do you want to hide? The daughter of the Zheng family looked good in the past, but she didn't expect it to be unruly. Jingcheng's child is also really, he doesn't know how to wipe his mouth when he eats secretly, and he makes a lot of trouble in the city, even our family feels bored, and when he goes out to meet someone, he is embarrassed to say that he was born to our aunt's wife. ”

Seeing that his daughter's face was getting paler and paler, Jiang couldn't help but be frightened, coughed heavily, and said with a dry smile: "Mrs. Gu, these things ...... Don't mention it in front of your children, right? I didn't have to pollute the girl's ears. The medicine in this house is heavy, and the smell is uncomfortable, why don't we go to my house for tea? ”

Liu Gu glanced at her: "Sister-in-law is really, everyone knows something, what is there to hide?" Just don't talk about it in front of outsiders. Let your child know about it, so be careful. The sixth girl used to be with Miss Zheng and the Zheng family, but fortunately, she has already been separated now, otherwise wouldn't she have caused her reputation? ”

Jiang reluctantly smiled and persuaded his sister-in-law to leave, Liu Gu didn't think much about it, casually comforted Wen Hui a few words, then got up and walked out with Jiang, and said as he walked: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that many places suffered disasters last year, and now that the year is only slightly better, he plans to canonize the ceremony and the wedding together to simplify it as an example for the world. YZ u went to ~ Dongping Palace, because he was involved in such an ugly thing, and he was embarrassed to do it, so he planned to hurriedly welcome the princess into the door. But the palace and the palace are simple, and what we are below is not easy to publicize. How does the eldest sister-in-law think that she will set up a family affair for the two children next month? You don't need to put on a big feast, just invite a few relatives and friends to come over for a drink......"

Jiang Shi responded without a word, and his mind had already turned to the daughter behind him, only to see Wen Hui's expression stunned, the whole person was stunned, although there was no excitement, but this kind of calm made people even more uneasy. She couldn't help but feel distraught.

Wen Yi heard that the third aunt Liu Gu was coming, and she planned to go with the sisters to meet her, but when she arrived at the place, she found that the other party had already gone to Wen Hui's courtyard, so she had to wait in the flower hall with Wen Xian, Wen Juan and Wen Ya, who knew that it didn't take long for her mother-in-law to come back and deliver a message, saying that Liu Gu went to the main courtyard and wanted to talk to his wife, so that the young ladies didn't have to go.

After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Wen Yi just gave up, and Wen Xian became uncomfortable for the first time: "What's going on?" Is that what my aunt commanded? My aunt came back to save her relatives, how could we not go to see her? She clearly remembered that the last time they met, the third aunt was still very close to her.

What does that woman know? can only say: "It was ordered by Mrs. Gu, and there is something serious to discuss today, so I don't see the young ladies." ”

Wen Yi frowned, but quickly stretched out. In theory, Liu Gu is both her cousin and her fiancé's aunt, and when she comes to the door, she should naturally go to see her, but she doesn't look down on this elder's personality in her heart, but she just comes according to the etiquette, and she is relieved to hear that the other party said that she doesn't want to see her.

Wen Xian had another idea, she always felt that in the past month, the elders didn't care about her as much as before, and the original endless invitations had been interrupted a lot. She lives in the Shilang's mansion, she can't inquire about the news outside, and she is embarrassed to ask the elders, and she is planning to take advantage of her aunt's visit to find out the news of the palace, but now she can't even see her aunt's face, what is this called?

Wen Juan didn't think so much, she was just worried about her sister, so she took the first step to ask: "It's strange, when the third aunt came back last time, she asked her sister to talk to her more, why ...... today?"

Wen Ya suddenly smiled, causing the other sisters to be puzzled. Wen Juan asked, "What are you laughing at?" Wen Ya glanced at her, raised her chin, waved her hand to let the woman go down, turned back to Wen Xian and smiled faintly: "Fifth sister, now that the princess has been selected, the family affairs of the prince of Dongping Wangfu have also been decided, I don't know how the marriage of the children of other palaces is?" There must be a result, right? If the fifth sister wants to know, it is better to ask her aunt, my mother is busy with family affairs these days, so she may not have time to inquire."

Wen Xian's face was flushed, and she stomped her feet and said, "Eleventh sister, what are you talking nonsense?" Is this the kind of thing that our girls' family should inquire about? Then he turned around and left, Wen Juan glared at Wen Ya and hurriedly followed.

Wen Yi frowned and looked at Wen Ya. This eleventh cousin was born to Aunt Yu, who has been in charge of housework in the Shilang Mansion for half a year, and has a certain binding force on the people in the mansion. It's just that her attitude is unpleasant.

Wen Ya saw Wen Yi looking at her, so she raised her eyebrows: "What?" Sister Nine also wants to teach me a lesson? It's really funny, I want to know it, but I want to fake it."

Wen Yi shook her head and just asked her, "Eleventh sister, didn't you get along well with the fifth sister before?" Why is it like a different person today? ”

Wen Ya sneered: "Sister Nine has always been blind to things outside the window, no wonder she doesn't know." Our fifth sister is going to fly on the branches, so she looks down on people like me, and she has to teach a lesson when she speaks, it's not right here, it's not right there, even her aunt asked her to find it, what's wrong with her aunt? It was also a good intention, thinking that she was new to housework, and it was inevitable that there would be something she didn't understand, so she kindly gave some advice. She's good, as if we want to harm her, so let's just put our hands away, I want to see if the fifth sister can take care of the housework."

As soon as Wen Yi heard it, she knew that it was for the housekeeper's business, Wen Xian did not understand a lot of things, but because the Jiang family was busy, she didn't often ask the Jiang family for advice, and she didn't want to open her mouth to Aunt Yu. In fact, in the final analysis, it is indeed Wen Xian who has lost her bearing, but unfortunately it involves the internal affairs of the long house, and Wen Yi can't say anything, so she can only persuade: "You are angry in your heart, don't show it too much." During the Chinese New Year, if you quarrel with the fifth sister, won't it make the elders angry? When the time comes, you'll have to worry about your aunt. ”

Wen Ya pursed her lips and glanced at Wen Yi: "Sister Jiu, you are a kind person, but it's a pity that you are not from our long house, and you are not nosy." Why did the fifth sister treat me like this, I know in my heart, she is a concubine, I am a concubine, she is the elder, I am the young, I can only let her, I endure this breath, but she is not too proud and expects herself to climb to the palace? It's just the daughter of a little jinshi, let's do her big dream of spring and autumn" After saying that, he sneered, broke his sleeves and left.

Wen Yi felt angry and funny, but she just thought that this long house taught her daughter, how could she teach her bad temper? Even Wen Xian, who has always been gentle and soft, has gradually changed a lot after going to Beijing.

She sighed secretly, just thinking about it, how does Changfang teach her daughter, and what does it have to do with her? As long as they don't cause any trouble and jeopardize her reputation.

Back in the room, Mama Zhao had been waiting for a long time, looking a little excited, and holding a letter in her hand. Wen Yi's heart moved: "Mama, but there is a letter from home?" ”

Mama Zhao hurriedly smiled and said: "That's right, Miss, the old lady asked the sixth young master to write the letter, and asked someone to bring the letter, saying that she had already read the letter that she brought back from the previous child, and asked the young lady to go back to Pingyang after the small ceremony." There are ......" she handed over the letter, "The uncle's family has already set a date for the young master to set off for Beijing, and he will set off on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, by land, together with the second young master in the second room, and several colleagues in Pingyang City." If it goes well, it should be in the capital at the end of the first month."

"Really?" Wen Yi hurriedly opened the letter and read it, with a burst of surprise in her heart, "Big cousin is coming?" Still coming with your second brother? That's good, I'm worried that the eldest cousin will only go to Beijing, and no one will take care of him on the road, which will hinder his body, but now the two elder brothers can take care of each other, and there are other sons on the same road, which is much more thoughtful than taking a few domestic servants on the road by himself" And with the reputation of the Pingyang Gu family and Changfang, they should not suffer too much along the way.

Wen Yi was extremely happy in her heart, and immediately began to open up: "Where is the eldest cousin going to live after he goes to Beijing?" If you borrow it in Shilang's Mansion, although it is convenient and there are people waiting for you, you are not very comfortable, and the relationship between the two relatives is a little far away, and the eldest cousin must not be happy. If you rent a house outside, and you are worried that you won't be able to rent a good place......" After thinking about it, he said to Mama Zhao: "Mama will go back and talk to Zhao and his family, right?" Let's find a quiet small courtyard in the capital near the Shilang Mansion, which should be clean and not far from the Tribute Courtyard. Let's rent the house as soon as possible, and prepare for the eldest cousin to live in Beijing, so that he won't have to be busy after he comes."

Mama Zhao happily agreed, and said, "I don't know if the young master has brought a cook, Mama has to find someone to wait on the stove, so that the young master can have a hot meal to eat." Wen Yi hurriedly said: "You must be honest and reliable, preferably a little old." Mama Zhao answered. Dong Que smiled and handed over the tea, and said to Wen Yi: "Miss, the young master is coming, this is good, you finally have relatives to support you, if the young master can go to high school, even the old lady will not be able to snub you anymore."

Wen Yi smiled slightly, but suddenly became worried again: It is a good thing that the eldest cousin of the Nie family can come, but ...... He didn't seem to treat Liu Dongxing very well, and if he knew that she was married to Liu Dongxing, he didn't know what he would think......
