Chapter 137

Let's say that Yuan Er was already awake when the son was in time, but the mother and son of Mrs. Yuan and Yuan Li still couldn't close their eyes all night.

At dawn, Master Yuan Si couldn't sit still, so he sent someone to Hancuixuan to inquire about the movement. After a while, the next person came to report, saying that Yuan Changqing had a seizure after going back last night, and drove out all the people who were waiting in Hancuixuan, and now the door of Hancuixuan's courtyard was closed, and he couldn't find out the movement inside for a while.

Fourth Master Yuan looked back at the old lady.

The old lady snorted coldly, closed her eyes and said, "I just didn't ask him to get rid of people, when can you reach into the yard?" ”

No matter what Yuan Changqing said, he lived in Yuan's mansion, and he was still a boy, so he couldn't interfere in the affairs of the inner courtyard, so at the beginning, the old lady and the fourth lady reached out to Han Cuixuan. After he fell seriously ill that year, the Fang family made a fuss, and they just stuffed a flower mother into Han Cuixuan. Since then, although Han Cuixuan still uses the descendants of the Yuan family, those subordinates can no longer get close to the important places. In the past, the old lady always thought that this was Mother Hua's means, but now compared to Yuan Changqing's expression yesterday, she suspected that it was already Yuan Changqing's means at that time.

It's just that it's too late to understand it now.

After thinking about it, the old lady sneered again and said, "Tell the gate to keep an eye on the door." If he wanted to move out of the gate, he stopped him and told him to come to me and talk to me. If he didn't squeak, he quietly moved away through the side door, so that the people under him would not see it. ”

Yuan Li didn't realize it for a while, so he looked at the old lady.

The old lady opened her eyes and looked at the youngest son who had not learned half of her wit at all, and couldn't help but think of the eldest son who died in battle. There has always been a lot of right and wrong, a lot of gossip, and a lot of short-term and long-term in the noble circle in the capital. After the old Linggong folded on the battlefield, Yuan Li attacked the knight as a young son, and until now there are still people talking behind his back, it seems that everyone thinks that it was Yuan Li who robbed Yuan Changqing, the eldest son and eldest grandson, and forgot about it one by one, she also folded into a biological son!

The youngest son who stayed behind has not been a talented person since he was a child.

The old lady sighed, looked at Yuan Li and said, "If you tell him to go out from the main gate, it will be Ming Huanghuang slapping us in the face." If he really dares to do that, then he will only have to make a fuss. It's best if he can go quietly, when the time comes, we just pretend not to know, and afterwards I said that he injured Brother Xing'er, and I blamed him a few words, so he made such a fuss, and ran away quietly without saying a word to his family. When this word spreads, you can pass it to the school again, and I will see how he will participate in this year's imperial examination! ”

Yuan Li thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's this Li'er......"

As he was talking, suddenly someone came to report, saying that the uncle had sent a little maid to ask for the key to the east door, and asked if he would give it.

That Han Cuixuan is located at the east end of Yuan's mansion, not far from the east side door.

The old lady's eyes immediately flashed, and she hurriedly ordered: "Don't give it clearly, it's best to ask him to snatch it......"

Before she finished speaking, someone hurriedly came to report, saying that the little guy couldn't wait anymore, and actually grabbed the key.

When the fourth master heard this, he immediately slapped his face, and smiled at the old lady: "Sure enough, that kid is still too tender!" ”

The old lady suddenly felt unsteady for a while, and asked Yuan Li: "Do you know who Da Lang usually uses?" ”

The fourth old man said: "Among the four little guys, except for the one named Jufeng, who was given by the Fang family, the other three are the orphans of the Yuan family. In addition, there are two members of the Hua family, as well as the half-crippled people who came down from the battlefield with the old lady and his old man before. The old lady asked what this was for? ”

The old lady frowned for a while and said, "With these few people, how can he move?" ”

The fourth old man was taken aback, "What does the old lady mean...... He's going to stab this matter to the Fang family?! ”

"It should ...... No. The old lady shook her head slowly, and pondered: "If he is willing to move the Fang family, he should go out from the main gate in a dignified manner, but now that he has snatched the key to the side door, it can be seen that he still has some scruples in his heart, and he does not dare to completely tear his face with us." ”

"That's good." The fourth old man breathed a sigh of relief, except for the Fang family who disdained to do anything with others, even the eldest girl of the Fang family, all of them had a temper, he had learned the power of the Fang family more than ten years ago, and now he could avoid the Fang family, he was desperate. Thinking of Yuan Changqing's sharp words last night, Yuan Li couldn't help but slap the table again, scolded "little rabbit cub", and said hatefully: "When I turn around, I will tell people that he is 'absconding in fear of crime'!" beat his younger brother, and then confronted the old lady, and made the old lady angry, how can such an unfilial person still be qualified to go to the imperial examination......"

The mother and son were discussing while listening to the movement on Han Cuixuan's side. About half an hour later, the person guarding the side door came to report, saying that the uncle's servant led a dozen sturdy mothers-in-law to Hancuixuan, and looked at the clothes and decorations like the descendants of the Fang family.

Master Yuan Si was stunned for a moment, but he was a little confused, and asked the old lady, "This is ......"

The old lady was also puzzled for a while, so she waved her hand and asked her subordinates: "Only the descendants of the Fang family came?" ”

The servant nodded in response, and the old lady squinted her eyes and pondered for a while, and instructed the visitor: "Watch over there!" ”

After a while, the servant came to report again, saying that the healthy women had gone out through the side door with the luggage of the cage.

The old lady asked again uneasily, "Is it true that there are only subordinates, and there are no masters of the Fang family?" ”

Seeing that the subordinate nodded affirmatively, the old lady was relieved. But she didn't feel at ease for long, about half an hour later, when she heard the next person report that it was almost moved in Hancuixuan, the person on the door suddenly hurriedly came and said: "The aunt and grandmother of the Fang family are here, saying that they want to see the grandfather and grandmother." ”

Yuan Li immediately turned his head to look at the old lady.

The old lady frowned, and couldn't figure out what trick Yuan Changqing was playing for a while, and was pondering, only to hear Ai Ai say again: "Fang, Fang's aunt and grandmother also brought someone to ......."

Princess Dean!

The old lady couldn't have imagined that Fang Yinggu would bring the eldest princess over, and she was suddenly startled, and hurriedly scolded the door: "Why don't you go back first for such an important matter?!" She also asked Yuan Li to greet her in person, and she was also busy changing her clothes to welcome her out, but she couldn't help beating a drum in her heart, and she didn't understand how the eldest princess, who had never been in contact, suddenly came to the door, and she still came with Fang Ying, the eldest girl of the Fang family.

By the time she went out, Princess De'an, Zhou Ling and Fang Ying, had already been welcomed into the second gate by Yuan Li.

The old lady smiled on her face and said to the princess: "I didn't know that the eldest princess was coming, so I was sluggish." ”

Zhou Ling smiled and waved his hand and said: "The old lady is polite, I am an uninvited guest, the old lady does not blame me for being rude, it is already my blessing." He looked left and right again and asked, "What about the thirteen people?" ”

The old lady was stunned. She didn't know that in addition to seeing the Queen Mother, Thirteen Sons also befriended another eldest princess. She was just about to ask a question, when she suddenly heard the eldest princess ask, "Didn't you say she moved today?" ”

The old lady was immediately startled. She couldn't imagine that the eldest princess actually knew about it, and immediately stammered, "Princess, princess ......" was caught off guard, she was out of words for a while, and she didn't know what to say.

The eldest princess pursed her lips, smiled and admired the old lady's changed face for a while, and only pretended not to see anything, and said: "Coincidentally, I made an appointment with Thirteen Er that day to take her to do a horse riding costume, but I waited for her at home and she didn't come for a few days." I thought that either her new daughter-in-law was embarrassed to meet anyone, or she thought I was saying kind things. It happened that I was going to Heng Tianxiang today, so I asked Aunt Ying to come to her together. I heard from Aunt Ying that she was busy moving today, so I'm here to join in the fun. He pretended to be curious and looked around for a while, and asked, "What about her?" ”

Zhou Ling's words are actually half-truths and half-truths. And the words of the first half are indeed true, she did wait for Shanniang at home for several days, but at that time, Shanniang was busy calculating Yuan Changxing, so she forgot about her agreement with the eldest princess. The eldest princess had a good impression of Shanniang because of Shanniang's words "flies hugging eggs", so she didn't feel that she was neglected, but thought that Shanniang thought she was saying kind words, so she took advantage of her free time today, so she went to Yinggu, and wanted to take her and Shanniang to accompany her to Heng Tianxiang to look at the clothes, but she didn't want to go to Fang's house, so she saw Fang Ying was angry there. After careful questioning, I learned that Yuan Changqing and his wife had suffered a great grievance in Yuan's mansion, and now they didn't dare to fight with their elders, so they had to move out first to avoid the limelight.

"Too much deception!" Fang Ying was so angry that he used a horsewhip to whip the hundred-year-old green pine in the yard to drop the pine needles for a while, and said angrily to the eldest princess: "You all think that the old lady of the Yuan family is a philanthropist, but I have been looking at her smiling face like a mask, and you don't believe it one by one!" ”

As he spoke, he said the contents of the letter sent by Yuan Changqing to the eldest princess. Only then did the eldest princess know that the old lady of the Yuan family had inexplicably wronged Yuan Changqing and his family because of Yuan Changxing's fall into the lotus pond, and forced them to admit that they had designed to kill Yuan Changxing. The two of them were not good at hard work with their elders, so they had no choice but to be forced to move out of the Yuan family.

"I'm going to rush over when I get the letter in the morning," Fang Ying said angrily, "But the ancestor of our family said that I was frizzy, and he didn't allow me to go like this, and he had to wait for the person sent to help the movers bring back the solid news before allowing me to go." No, the news came back, and it was said that not only that, but even Thirteen was rubbed and sick by that witch! I was about to leave, and you came again. ”

Fang Ying has been outside the customs for many years, and he doesn't know what Yuan Changqing looks like when he grows up now, but the eldest princess, who is very close to the five princes, often hears the five princes boast about Yuan Changqing's power. Now listening to Fang Ying say this, the eldest princess only felt a strange feeling in her heart: Yuan Changqing, that little fox, he doesn't care about people, would he suffer such a big loss? To be honest, I didn't believe it when I killed her.

Anyway, this princess De'an, who was widowed when she was young, and didn't want to remarry, now her only fun is gossip all over the capital. Not to mention Yuan Changqing's many doubts here, only this newly baked gossip was automatically sent to the tip of her nose, and she didn't have a reason to let it go, so she hurriedly volunteered to go with her, and pretended to persuade Aunt Ying: "You are a quick-tempered person, and the old lady in the house is an honest person, it is not good for you to deal with the Yuan family so directly, it will only make it more difficult for Changqing to do." It's better for me to go with you, for my sake, the Yuan family doesn't dare to be too much. ”

Old Mrs. Fang, who was about to get into the carriage, heard that the Grand Duke was going to follow, so she lowered her head and pondered for a while, but turned around and told Ying Gu to go over and look at it, don't let Yuan Changqing suffer, and then ...... She didn't go!

How did Fang Ying know that Yuan Changqing actually sent two letters at the same time. Fang Ying watched one version, and the old lady watched another version. In the letter to the old lady, Yuan Changqing bluntly told the old lady all his arrangements, including asking the old lady to press the second half an hour before coming to the Yuan mansion, so that he could first create a wrong impression to the Yuan family that he was showing weakness.

It's just that Yuan Changqing and the old lady didn't expect that the eldest princess would take the initiative to insert a kick in the middle. The old lady pinched her fingers and felt that the effect of the eldest princess in the past was obviously better than that of her elders, so she simply let it go and let a few juniors mess around.

Na Yinggu was afraid of being restrained by the old lady, but now seeing that the old lady took the initiative not to go, she couldn't wait for this sound, and hurriedly pulled the eldest princess who was not afraid of the high stage to watch the excitement, and rushed towards the Yuan Mansion on a horse.

As for how Old Lady Fang wrote a note to Yuan Changqing after returning to the house, and how she sent someone to send it over, it was impossible for these two to know.

- So, in fact, Yuan Changqing not only has a temperament like Mrs. Fang, but even the bad water in her stomach is from the true biography of this old lady Fang who also doesn't like to talk in front of people!

One is Fang Ying, who is unclear and angry; One is the eldest princess who grew up in the palace and can hear a music score when she listens to mosquitoes, and the two of them teamed up to break into Yuan's house, which caught the old lady and Yuan Li off guard. They felt that they had calculated well, and they should not dare to alarm people if they calculated correctly, but at this moment, they not only alarmed people, but also alarmed Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who loved to watch people's jokes the most in the capital......

The mother and son looked at each other, and the old lady was heartbroken, took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "We don't know what's going on, how to do it, so we're going to move out?" I don't know what we elders have to do to make their hearts ......."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Yuan Changqing's voice outside the door: "It's not that the elders don't know what to do, it's really that we juniors don't know what to do." If we listen to the will of our elders and admit what we have not done, we will be wronged by our juniors. But if we don't admit it, it's our unfilial piety again. ”

With the words, Yuan Changqing came in with the curtain, saluted the eldest princess, and said, "I really don't dare to alarm Her Royal Highness the eldest princess about the affairs of the family......

Seeing that the meaning of his words was to ask the eldest princess to avoid suspicion, the old lady thought about it and guessed that he should be concerned about Shanniang's reputation, so she glanced at Yuan Li.

Receiving the old lady's eyes, Yuan Li suddenly stepped forward and said: "Although the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, the identity of the eldest princess is here, in front of the eldest princess, it is just right to distinguish it clearly, and it also saves people from suspicion We really treated you two badly." ”

The old lady also pinched her handkerchief and sighed: "You child, why did your temper rise after marrying your relatives?" It's just that Brother Xing'er was injured yesterday, and we are in a hurry, so we ask you in vain, you are so white-eyed and bare-eyed......"

Yuan Changqing immediately intercepted her words and said: "If you just ask, we will have to accept no matter how wronged we are." But what did the old lady and the fourth uncle ask me in the middle of the night last night? Now in front of Celestia, I can say it again. The old lady asked me if I had ever fought with Brother Xing, and I said no. "--No, he only kicked Yuan Er unilaterally, and Yuan Er didn't even have a chance to fight back-"The old lady also asked me where I was with Thirteen'er when Brother Xing'er had an accident. I said we were all in the old lady's East Pavilion. "—Indeed they are all there. Even Yuan Er is there—"The old lady still asked me, but someone proved that we were there." I said no. Because at that time, there was not even a person to serve in the old lady's East Pavilion. This is true.

He turned around and explained to the eldest princess: "Thirteen children are now ordered by the queen mother, and they have to borrow the old lady's Buddha hall every day to copy a Heart Sutra, and the East Pavilion is the resting place arranged by the old lady for Thirteen Children, as for why there is no one to serve in the East Pavilion, we don't know." But because there is no one there, the elders in the family don't believe in our innocence, and they have to admit what we haven't done, we don't dare to feel wronged, but we don't dare to admit this big crime that hurts people, and now the only way is to avoid it first. ”

Seeing that he was seeking the approval of the eldest princess, the old lady hurriedly said: "Your child is very important, but Brother Xing'er was killed, and everyone in the family has to ask again, and it is not specifically pointing at you to ask, it is your daughter-in-law, we will also ask again today." And he said, "What about your daughter-in-law?" It was late last year, so I didn't ask her. Under what she said, she was actually secretly threatening Yuan Changqing.

Yuan Changqing's eyebrows sank, and he only arched his hand and said, "I'm afraid that Thirteen Er can't come out, she's sick." ”

"Sick?" The old lady immediately looked concerned and said, "Why didn't I hear you when I was sick?" The family can also call a doctor to diagnose her. ”

"Thirteen refuses." Yuan Changqing said.

The old lady immediately sneered in her heart, and asked with a pretending of concern: "If you are sick, you are sick, and it is not good to avoid medical treatment." ”

Yuan Li suddenly snorted coldly: "Don't have another hidden secret. ”

Yuan Changqing glanced at his fourth uncle and said, "It's true that there is something else hidden." After a pause, with a sense of anger, she said: "She was afraid that people would say the old lady's right and wrong, so she couldn't bear to look at the doctor." ”

"Me?!" The old lady was stunned and couldn't help but say, "What's the matter with me?!" ”

Fang Ying and the eldest princess also said in unison: "What's wrong with Thirteen?" ”

"Cold." Yuan Changqing said.

The eldest princess smiled: "She is a southern girl, this is not suitable for our northern climate." ”

Fang Ying had already received the hint from Yuan Changqing's letter, so she sneered: "She is a new daughter-in-law, she stays in the house all day, at this time, as long as the heating has not been removed from the house, where is it possible to freeze her!" He said to Yuan Changqing again: "You just said that the old lady - there is not even a person to serve in the East Pavilion where the thirteen children are placed, I'm afraid there is no heating!" As he spoke, he glared at the old lady fiercely.

The old lady didn't expect that Yuan Changqing splashed her with water here again, and she was suddenly angry! In a fit of anger, she couldn't hold back her temper and threatened Yuan Changqing: "I don't know if your daughter-in-law is really sick or fake, how can I say that I deliberately froze her?!" We asked her to come out, just to ask her if she had anything to do with Brother Xing'er's injury, but you protected her so much that you didn't allow her to come out, which inevitably made people wonder if there was something else hidden here! ”

Yuan Changqing immediately counterattacked: "If you talk about hidden feelings, there are indeed some hidden feelings. When no one could be found in the East Pavilion, the maid of the thirteenth child happened to see someone enter the old ......"

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, Yuan Li shouted loudly, startling the eldest princess who was fascinated by listening to the play.

"Oh, what's going on?" The eldest princess stroked her chest, looked at Yuan Li and smiled, "The more the lord doesn't let him say it, the more curious I become." What did the maid see? He deliberately looked at the old lady and smiled: "Maybe this is the key." ”

"This ......" The old lady and Yuan Li were speechless at the same time.

Fang Ying also slapped his palm with a horsewhip and said, "Yes!" This must be a key point, so you don't dare to tell Da Lang to say it! He pushed Yuan Changqing's shoulder and said, "Say, you just have to say it boldly!" With your sister, I'll make decisions for you! ”

Yuan Changqing looked at the old lady, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, turned back to the eldest princess, and said, "Thirteen heard that the eldest princess was coming, and told me that it must be because she broke the appointment that the eldest princess was unhappy, and asked me to apologize to the eldest princess on her behalf." ”

The eldest princess looked at him and immediately understood in her heart that this guy didn't want to ask her to listen anymore. However, she has been immersed in gossip for many years, although she has not heard a perfect gossip now, but she is rushing to the ones she has heard, which is enough for her to put together a picture. So she looked at Yuan Changqing and said with a smile: "Yes, I came to see her today, but she is still sick, I have to see it with my own eyes to rest assured." So saying, he asked someone to lead her to Shanniang.

When she came to Han Cui Xuan, she saw that Han Cui Xuan had already been empty, and there were only a few maids and women left in the courtyard at this time. As for the sick lady, she was holding a black cat, curled up in a circle chair, wrapped in a thick cloak, and had a smoker under her feet. In this way, she still shrunk her shoulders, looking afraid of the cold.

Hearing the sound of the curtain, Shanniang thought that Yuan Changqing was back, and immediately straightened up, pretending that she was not suffering from fever and chills. When she saw that it was the eldest princess who came in, she immediately shrank her neck, pulled the big around her neck again, and shook her hand at the eldest princess and said, "Don't come here, I've seen the sickness for you." ”

Seeing her little face burning red, the eldest princess couldn't help but be stunned, "Why is she really sick?!" She thought the two of them were acting. As she spoke, she went over and touched Shanniang's face, and said sympathetically: "Poor thing, this little face is burned red." And he said, "Have you seen the doctor?" ”

Shanniang sniffed and said sullenly: "I've seen it a long time ago." ”

Yuan Changqing didn't worry about her in the end, so he quietly took a doctor from the back door to come in and take her pulse, and prescribed medicine for her. It's okay not to take medicine, but this medicine has stimulated all the cold in her body. She hadn't felt anything yet, but as soon as Yuan Changqing left here, her heat went up suddenly. She didn't want to distract him in front, so she didn't say anything to anyone, but she didn't want to, but she just happened to make the eldest princess bump into her.

The eldest princess looked at her, and saw that although her face was red and her eyes were watery, she was in good spirits, so she pushed her arm with a smile and said, "Tell me honestly, was Yuan Er beaten by you?" ”

Shanniang was stunned, "How did you guess?" She accidentally missed the filling.

The eldest princess immediately slapped her face and laughed, "I guessed that it must be so!" He pushed Shanniang with his elbow again, "This is an egg that has beaten the flies." And he said, "Well played!" If it weren't for no reason, I would have wanted to beat him up! ”

Shanniang immediately knew that the eldest princess was also one of the people who had been "raped" by Yuan Er's eyes.

"When you get better, I'll ask you to come to me, and I'll introduce you to some friends, and they'll like you." Princess Celestia laughed.

I don't know how Yuan Changqing and Fang Yinggu fought this lawsuit with the Yuan family outside, in short, when Yuan Changqing came over with a warm sedan chair to take Shanniang out, the husband and wife really went out from the main gate of Yuan's mansion in a dignified manner, as Yuan Changqing said.

Seeing Yuan Changqing looking back at the plaque hanging on the gate of Yuan's mansion, Shanniang guessed that he was probably still a little uncomfortable in his heart, so she reached over and hugged him.

Yuan Changqing sighed and said, "Actually, I have always had some expectations for them in my heart, hoping that they will understand sooner or later that I don't want to fight with them." ...... bias"

After a pause, he reached out and stroked her cheek, and said, "I never cared about that title, but they guarded me like a wolf, but you were sick and had to be kicked out." Now I've changed my mind. Let's fight, okay? ”

Shanniang: "......"

- Yuan Da, you are too deep in the play! The so-called "being sick and being kicked out", this is obviously a drama arranged by yourself, okay!
