076 Dou Da Niang
Along the way, Lord Yan was very concerned about Qin Xiaoyu, they were all talking about Qin Xiaoyu, and inadvertently snubbed Concubine Xia, but Concubine Xia didn't care, just spoke lightly.
She is the second oldest in the family, her mother is not as powerful as the eldest lady's family, nor is the third aunt favored by her father, her mother died when she was nine years old, and she has always been taken care of by the eldest mother, the eldest mother is fierce, and she has developed a submissive character. Therefore, as long as her husband likes it, she will love it too. Whether it's a person or a thing.
In the end, Qin Xiaoyu couldn't stand such a chattering Yan Wangye, so he used the excuse of motion sickness and fell asleep with his head back.
The morning glow is like a flower paved to the stone road to Xia Fu, the carriage has left the palace, into the most prosperous Chang'an Street in Chang'an City, all kinds of shops and liquor shops on both sides of the street have been up early for business, selling steamed buns and fritters and other early vendors are shouting hard, and the streets can also be described as full of flowers, which shows that the Daning Kingdom is not too bad under the emperor's governance.
Qin Xiaoyu opened his eyes suddenly, how could he think of that person again?
I opened the curtains with my worries, leaned on the window, looked out, the streets were full of traffic, the people were simple, she couldn't help laughing again, and took a deep breath of fresh air, the air outside the palace seemed to be much fresher and more natural than in the palace, at least there was no intrigue and intrigue.
"Little fish, wake up, we're here. ”
Someone patted her shoulder gently, the breath was familiar and gentle, she slowly opened her eyelids, and what greeted her was the gentle and moving face of the second sister, even if she didn't recognize herself now, she was so approachable.
"Mother, I'm sorry, I'm asleep. ”
"I heard that injured people are particularly prone to fatigue, and the night I married the prince, thanks to you who found out the real culprit of the pills, I didn't let the prince lose face. Bowl"
The most beautiful thing about the second sister is not her appearance, although she is not as stunning as the eldest sister, but she is like a Jiangnan woman like water, her voice is soft, her smile is cute, and she feels that she has fallen into the soft and lingering clouds when she listens to a few words.
"Niangniang, those are not worth mentioning, they are all what a little slave should do. ”
After Qin Xiaoyu finished speaking, Chief Wu was anxious, and said dissatisfied, "Father-in-law Yu, don't rub it off, Concubine Xia is good-natured, so soft-spoken, if it were me, wouldn't it be a kick." ”
Wu Xingxing has an orangutan temper, always so savage and violent.
Xiao Yu'er was too lazy to compare with him, snorted, took the crutches in the carriage, and got out of the carriage first with Concubine Xia.
Because the carriage was too high, the prince's legs and feet were inconvenient, so the horseman knelt down and trampled on the prince, and was helped down by the chief Wu.
Qin Xiaoyu handed the cane to Murong Yan, and opened the bird cage tied under the carport, and the canary fluttered out of the cage with a chirp, fluttering its golden wings and landing on Murong Yan's shoulder.
Father and Aunt Zhou both stood at the door early, and when they saw the prince coming down, they hurried over.
Xia Yuanxing first looked at her daughter, and saw that her daughter's face was ruddy, presumably this son-in-law treated his daughter well.
Murong Yan stretched out her hand towards Concubine Xia on the side, Concubine Xia smiled coquettishly, she understood, and handed her slender jade hand to the man, which he carefully held.
At the beginning, the youngest daughter Xia Jin ran away from marriage, and Xia Yuanxing had no choice but to let her second daughter Xia Yan marry Yan Wangye, and now it seems that this Yan Wangye takes care of Xia Yan so much, and that decision seems to be correct at the beginning.
Although he couldn't see it, he could hear the footsteps very clearly, and he thought that the people who came were also Xia Yuanxing and Zhou, so he said to the front, "The son-in-law has given a salute to his father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”
This son-in-law is not arrogant because he is the prince, and he is courteous and thoughtful, and he is worthy of being a humble son. He couldn't help but smile and nodded again, and bent down slightly to make an inviting gesture for Murong Yan, "Lord Yan, you are so polite, you have to be courteous to you in this matter of dignity and humility." There is no such thing as a gift in the future. ”
Murong Yan bowed slightly, and instructed Wu Xingxing, "Chief Wu, bring things in." ”
Zhou's look at this big box and a big box must be a lot of treasures, although this Yan Wang Ye is a nominal prince, he is also generous, and the first time he saw the old man, the gift was so rich.
She smiled a little from ear to ear, and hurriedly thanked, "Lord Wang, you and Jin'er have been traveling all the way, come in with me to rest and taste fragrant tea." ”
Qin Xiaoyu glanced at Zhou, quite disdainful, Zhou saw that Qian was open, but he still didn't change at all.
Murong Yan took Concubine Xia on crutches and slowly walked into the Xia Mansion, Qin Xiaoyu followed quietly, Xia Yuanxing looked back at Qin Xiaoyu more, and saw that her left arm was injured, and followed by Yan Wangye, presumably the little eunuch who was in the limelight on the night of the wedding banquet, but why did her appearance change so much, and the look between her eyebrows and eyes was a little like her own little daughter?
The little eunuch raised his eyes and saw Xia Yuanxing looking at him, so he asked with a smile, "Does Xia Tixing want to ask the little one, why haven't I seen me for three days, and my appearance has changed drastically?"
This minion is really clever, and she can see what he means with a single look.
Seeing Xia Yuanxing nodded, she said again, "Xiao has been taking weight loss pills for the past few days, no, just lost weight." The small one has finally gotten rid of the title of 'the first fat in the palace'. ”
When she spoke, her smug little eyes faintly glanced at Zhou's face, which made Zhou's face, which was still stumbling after maintenance, even more unsightly.
"I see. ”
He sighed lightly, if Jin'er and her mother didn't leave, and asked this little eunuch for some weight loss pills, she would definitely be able to recover her original figure.
"Xia Tixing, why didn't you see the glamorous eldest lady come out to greet my family's noble prince?"
Qin Xiaoyu asked tentatively, and she deliberately accentuated the word "beautiful".
was mentioned by Xiao Yu'er like this, Xia Yan also realized this, and the eldest sister who loved to offer beauty in front of Gongzi didn't come out, so she also asked her father, "Yes, where is the eldest sister?"
"Your eldest sister...... She...... Sick. ”
At the mention of the eldest daughter Xia Wan'an, Xia Yuanxing's brows tightened, and I don't know why, since the eldest daughter came back from the palace to the banquet, she has never taken a step in the boudoir again.
It seems that the eldest lady Zhou can't get rid of her "red face and finger snap fingers", look at her eldest sister's broken mouth in the future, and dare to be arrogant! Thinking about the eldest sister becoming a monster, she is excited, I really want to go in and take a look at the eldest sister's "beautiful face".
Zhou glanced at Qin Xiaoyu, who was smiling, wasn't it because of this wild seed that her ten nails turned white, she was indignant in her chest, but she calmly diverted the topic, took Xia Yan's other small hand, rested it in the palm of her hand, and said in a caring tone, "Daughter, are you still used to living in the palace?"
"Aunt Lao cares, and her daughter has to be taken care of by the prince, everything is fine. ”
Xia Yan's hand was withdrawn from Zhou's hand, she took her husband's arm, and looked at her husband with a slight smile, with tenderness between her eyebrows.
Zhou watched Xia Yan and her so angry, and after a few days of being a princess, her wings hardened, didn't they?
Zhou's skin smiled and said, "Daughter, you are doing well, and you will feel at ease as a mother." This is just what she said, but she was thinking in her heart, good you Xia Yan, if I hadn't asked your father to arrange for you to enter the palace to marry instead, would you be able to live this glorious and rich life now?
In fact, Xia Yan didn't deliberately show face with Zhou, it's just that Zhou's greed for money and cruelty, and she loves to feed poisons, she is just afraid of this eccentric woman.
At this moment, the housekeeper Lao Xu hurriedly ran over, out of breath, his face was anxious and panicked, "Master, it's not good, it's not good......"
"What's wrong? In front of the prince, what kind of body is it that shouts and screams?" Xia Yuanxing's face burned and glared at Lao Xu.
Lao Xu gasped again, trying to calm down and apologize to Murong Yan seriously, but Murong Yan was very polite and said lightly, "Don't get in the way, it must be something happened in the mansion." You can tell Lord Xia slowly. ”
Xia Yuanxing gave Zhou a look, "Madam, you go and arrange for the prince and his daughter to go to the front hall for tea first." "After all, ugly things should not be publicized, no matter what happens in the house, it should not be known to the people of the royal family, if it reaches the ears of the emperor, don't make a good one.
Zhou gave Xia Yuan Xing a blessing, "Yes, master." ”
Murong Yan knew that Xia Yuanxing didn't want him to know what was going on in the mansion, so she didn't ask too much, and just followed the Zhou family to the front hall.
After Murong Yan and the others left, Xia Yuanxing asked, "Say it." What the hell is going on?"
"Miss, she...... She ...... "Old Xu is hesitant.
"What the hell is wrong with her? "Of the three daughters in the family, Xia Yuanxing loves the third child the most, but although this eldest daughter is a scheming one, she is also filial piety to him, as soon as he hears that something happened to her, how can he not be in a hurry?
The eldest lady suddenly screamed in the house, and the old slave thought that something was wrong with the eldest lady, so she hurriedly pushed the door in, only to see ...... Saw...... The eldest lady has all white hair, just like ...... A white-haired female ghost. ”
Lao Xu recalled the scene he saw in Xia Wan'an's room just now, and his heart was still trembling, and the white-haired eldest lady was really terrifying.
"What nonsense are you talking about, what kind of female ghost?" Xia Yuanxing said angrily, touching a handful of short beards, "Let's go, take me to take a look." ”
Murong Yan walked slightly slowly on crutches, and when she heard the sound of subtle steps behind her, she left in a hurry, and her heart sank slightly.
Although Qin Xiaoyu wanted to know what happened in Xia Fuzhong just now, he was deliberately separated by his father, and he had no way of knowing.
As soon as he entered the front hall, the Zhou family stood up, invited Murong Yan to sit on the upper seat, and brought out the good tea carefully prepared today.
"I heard that Lord Wang, you love the Longjing before the rain, this is the Longjing that the lord specially sent someone to get for you from the West Lake, or the early spring tea picked before the rain in the valley this year, you see this color, green with ink, very good. ”
Zhou was explaining vigorously, and Qin Xiaoyu said coldly, "Madam, are you saying that it is a hindrance to our prince's eyes?"
Zhou felt bad when he heard it, this damn little slut was able to find fault with her, drove her out for more than a month, and put her together when she returned to the Xia Mansion.
"Lord, look at the mouth of the concubine, I hope that the prince will not go to your heart, the concubine is an unintentional mistake. ”
Seeing that Zhou lowered his head so much, Qin Xiaoyu was cool. But Lord Yan said solemnly to her, "Xiao Yu'er, how can you be so rude to Mrs. Torture, and don't make amends to Mrs. quickly." ”
Qin Xiaoyu's eyes turned to the sky, and he said to Zhou Shi with his nostrils, "I'm sorry." ”
"The concubine heard that you are now a celebrity in the palace, and your 'sorry' concubine body can't afford it. ”
Zhou's words are sharp, and he can see that he is not a character to mess with.
"Thank you, Madame, little one. Qin Xiaoyu hugged his fists and thanked her, staring at her, competing against each other.
Zhou didn't continue to quarrel with this girl, and after cooking the prince and others, he excused himself and left the front hall.
Seeing the Zhou family leaving, Murong Yan whispered to Concubine Xia, "I heard that old man just now tell his father-in-law that the eldest sister is sick, and she is not lightly ill. Presumably, the eldest lady also went out for this. Later, do you want to go see the eldest sister?"
Qin Xiaoyu is naturally the prince of Xinyan, and people with poor eyesight naturally have more places than ordinary people. The eldest sister is sick, it should be caused by the poison of "red face and finger old", she patted her head, today is the third day of the eldest sister's poisoning, this head full of green silk should be snow, right?
"The eldest sister is sick? She was fine on the day I got married, how could she be sick? Lord, did you hear it wrong?"
Facing Concubine Xia's doubts, Murong Yan only smiled, "I have bad eyes since I was a child, but my hearing is better than ordinary people. I can recognize people by the sound of my steps, just like my little sister, she has a keen sense of smell like a dog, she can distinguish people by taste. We blind people always have higher abilities than ordinary people. ”
The little sister that Murong Yan refers to is Princess Ning Xiang, he and Ning Xiang have been blind since they were children, they are both poor people, he laughs at himself like this, he is probably so helpless that he has no way to see it.
Xia Yan frowned, held his hand, and said hurriedly, "Master, don't talk about yourself like that, you still have me, I will be your eyes and be your crutch in the future." ”
Seeing that the couple was so affectionate, Chief Wu looked embarrassed and turned his head slightly, and Concubine Xia seemed to realize that her words and deeds were out of her lady's duty, so she let go of the man's hand, blushed, and held it on her lap.
The man's eyebrows were warm, his smile was bright, and he instinctively held the woman's hand resting on his lap, "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"
Suddenly, the woman's face was flushed, only redder than the big red letter on the window.
Qin Xiaoyu was also happy to see that the second sister and the second brother-in-law were so affectionate, "The slave once heard the elders say that if God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you. Although the eyes of the Lord are blind, he is blessed by God, and he will be blessed and precious in the future, and he will live a peaceful life. ”
Wu Xingxing stood aside and looked at the husband and wife, and was so amused by this eunuch that he couldn't close his mouth, I have to say that this eunuch can make people happy as soon as he opens his mouth, not everyone has such a skill, for example, he can't learn it himself.
Murong Yan smiled and said, "Xiao Yu'er, borrow your auspicious words, I hope I can live a safe life." ”
After some laughter, Xia Yuanxing came back, he was also an old officialdom, and he would not write his troubles on his face, with a smile on his face, and asked, "This West Lake Longjing is suitable for the taste of the prince?"
Xia Yuanxing didn't say anything, and Murong Yan wouldn't break it, so she just pretended not to know about Xia Wan'an's illness and chatted with this father-in-law. This is the way of life for a wise man.
Taking advantage of the lively conversation between these two smart people, she went to the toilet under the pretext of going to the toilet, but in fact she went to visit her good eldest sister.
She is familiar with this summer mansion, and she burned it to the back house at once.
Still outside the door of the eldest sister's boudoir, she heard the sound of killing pigs inside, she happily approached step by step, and did not say hello to push the door in, the person in the door realized that someone had entered, carried her, and drank violently, "Dead slave, who let you in?
Zhou, who spoke up, roared and comforted her daughter, holding a silk scarf to wrap her daughter's hair, trying to cover Xia Wan'an's dry white hair.
She didn't go out, but leaned against the door with her arms, "Auntie, if you really don't welcome me so much, then I'll go." ”
As soon as he heard the voice of the little slut, Zhou turned around angrily, and what he saw was Qin Xiaoyu's stinky face, but this little slut was quite capable of restraining her from concocting it for her mother.
And Zhou moved slightly, and Xia Wan'an, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, also saw that the person at the door was Qin Xiaoyu, who had caused her to be so miserable, that is, her third sister Xia Jin.
She clenched her hands angrily, slowly stood up, walked in front of Qin Xiaoyu, raised her hand, and was about to fall on her face, Qin Xiaoyu was not to be outdone, as soon as she raised her hand, she held the palm of this spicy shrew, and clenched her wrist inch by inch, watching Xia Wan'an Dai's eyebrows tighten a little bit due to pain, fortunately, she has a little three-legged cat kung fu, and it is easy to deal with a delicate woman like Xia Wan'an.
Qin Xiaoyu's eyes flashed ruthlessness, the corners of his lips were hooked, full of ridicule, "My good sister, you are so virtuous, and you dare to teach me a lesson?"
"Yes, I will not survive, and I will die with you. Her wrist hurt too much, and she gasped, she knew that she couldn't beat Qin Xiaoyu, but she was injured now.
Seeing that Qin Xiaoyu's left arm couldn't move, Xia Wan'an attacked with her other hand, fortunately, Qin Xiaoyu's body was flexible, she threw her wrist on the door frame hard, got out and took a step back, if she hit the wound, I am afraid that this injury will not heal for a month.
Such a delicate hand smashed on the door frame, and Xia Wan'an's face turned pale all of a sudden, which matched her silver thread the most.
Seeing that his daughter had suffered a loss, Zhou hurriedly came over and protected her daughter, "Xia Jin, you little slut still dare to come here?
Seeing Zhou's poop, she took down a black cloth bag from her waist, she never left this cloth bag, and most people thought that she had some gold and silver in this bag, but it was full of poison.
As soon as the mouth of the bag was opened, Zhou shook the poison inside to the woman's feet outside the door, and the giant centipedes and the pitch-black poisonous scorpions climbed the mountain Qin Xiaoyu's boots.
"Baby, sting her to death!"
Zhou cursed viciously.
In other words, when a woman saw such a poison, she was afraid that she would faint with fright, but Qin Xiaoyu stood there motionless, her face was calm, she took off the treasure gourd from her waist without hurrying, and with her mouth down, a black and red intertwined thing rolled onto her upper shoe, and the thing was covered with sharp hair.
"Mother, it's a spider!"
Xia Wan'an shrank behind Zhou in fright, she didn't like to feed poison like her mother, but she had also seen the spiders raised by her mother, but she had never seen a spider as big as a fist?
Qin Xiaoyu didn't care, looked at the big spider that was quickly approaching the centipede and scorpion, and said with a smile, "Auntie, this is the fire dragon spider I raised, have you seen it?"
Then he looked at the spider on the upper of his shoe, "Little girl, kill those babies of the old lady." ”
The big spider spits out the red silk thread, the silk thread is sticky, and it traps the poison at once, and the poison can't move, allowing it to be swallowed up by the big spider little by little.
What cruelty is it for animals to devour aliens, they bite directly, leaving only a mess of severed limbs, Xia Wan'an is a famous lady, and she was naturally scared when she saw this shocking scene, hiding behind Zhou, and she didn't dare to look at it.
"Auntie, don't raise centipedes and scorpions in the future, now those doctors in the palace are popular to raise spiders, especially the fire dragon spiders caught in this hot place, it is said that whether it is medicine or poison, the effect is very good, if you like it, I will send a few to you and the eldest sister in the bedding in the future." ”
Qin Xiaoyu said gracefully, this fire dragon spider is from the Tai Hospital, and the doctors will also raise a lot of poisons in order to study medicines, and most of these poisons are rare and powerful, and it is easy to deal with those idle poisons of the eldest mother.
She put the gourd in her hand on the ground, and the spider dragged the hunting food into the gourd and entered the nest to enjoy it slowly.
Zhou looked at the minced meat that was dragged into the gourd by the fire dragon spider, she was so distressed, these treasures were raised by herself, but they were eaten by this little slut's spider and there was no scum left, her heart was dripping blood, but she gritted her teeth and smiled to herself, patted Xia Wan'an's shoulder, and let her not be afraid.
She looked at Qin Xiaoyu's eyes, "Okay, you dead girl, much more ruthless than your mother." ”
