Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Hedong Plague God
In March, it is the season of spring flowers.
Spring is in full swing, and everything is recovering.
The outside world, everywhere gives a sense of freshness.
The vitality will also induce a winter of passion buried in people's hearts.
Young men and women like to follow the rhythm of nature and devote themselves to the spring light that symbolizes the germination of life and weaves love.
Those young and charming little ladies can't resist the temptation of spring, so they will instigate their young men and take them outside.
Or take the opportunity to temporarily escape from the monotonous inner courtyard of the deep house and get in touch with the colorful world outside.
According to Guanyin's personality, she loves to play crazy in the vast world in spring.
But at this juncture, the newlywed beloved Lang Jun had to leave her.
Leaving her alone, she no longer has the interest to explore spring.
------
Li Jiancheng's bride, Zheng Guanyin, is as famous as her name.
She has been influenced by her family since she was a child, believes in Buddhism, and is kind and benevolent.
Since Mrs. Dou left, Zheng Guanyin has always kept her aunt's words in mind.
She was afraid that Guanyin was young and could not bear the blow of the newlywed parting, so she would often come to visit Guanyin in the next few days.
Guanyin has her own way of disposing, and seeing that Zheng Guanyin is friendly, she can't bear to worry about herself.
-----
On this day, Zheng Guanyin came to visit Guanyin again.
The two gossiped for a while, and Guanyin said to Zheng Guanyin:
"Sister-in-law's house is busy, so you don't have to come to see me every day."
"I am a child's heart, my mind becomes fast, no matter how big things pass in a blink of an eye, and I don't always take big things to heart. You don't have to worry about me anymore."
Zheng Guanyin saw her smile sweetly, and from her expression, it was indeed nothing.
She was a little curious in her heart, so she asked Guanyin,
"Second Uncle is not here, what do you do every day?"
Guanyin replied to Zheng Guanyin with a slight smile,
"I love to read by nature, and when I have a book in my hand, I forget everything."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry about me, and you don't have to visit me every day, I just need to have books here."
------
Zheng Guanyin heard Guanyin say that reading books can forget troubles, so envious,
"But I can't read, and whoever sees it has a headache. When my heart is not good, I recite the Buddhist scriptures."
Speaking of the things that are not smooth in my heart, I can't help but arouse Zheng Guanyin's feelings about managing the affairs of the house,
"When I was not married, I was most troubled by these trivial chores."
"Now I'm falling into the pile of affairs, and I have to take care of everything big and small, which upsets me."
"If my sister is okay, you might as well help me take care of it."
------
Before Li Shimin left, he specially explained to Guanyin that he should not participate too much in the management of the affairs of the inner court.
Now that Zheng Guanyin mentioned this matter, Guanyin hurriedly refused,
"I'm still young now, and I don't know how to deal with the affairs of the house?"
"If I am asked to do it, I am afraid it will only cause trouble for my sister-in-law."
Zheng Guanyin saw that she was telling the truth, and thought that she was older than her, and she was still in a hurry by these things. Guanyin was young, even if she was asked to do it, things would not be much better, so she didn't do much reluctance.
------
Half a month after Li Yuan and Mrs. Dou left, Li Jiancheng returned to Hedong with his family.
Chang'an City is more than 300 miles away from Hedong, and it took a group of people to stop and go, and it took five days to reach Hedong.
The Li manor, located in the east of the river, is similar in size and shape to Xinfeng Laozhuang, and it is also magnificent and heavily guarded.
There are two compounds in the manor, built next to each other.
The layout and structure of the East Courtyard and the Changsun General's Mansion are basically the same.
Li Yuan and his wife lived in the East Courtyard with Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, and Li Yuanji.
------
In the east courtyard, there are upper rooms on the east side and three single courtyards on the west side.
Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, and Li Yuanji each live in one place.
Li Shimin and Guanyin lived in the north of the steward's room.
Li Xuanba lives to the west of Li Shimin, across a road.
To the south of Li Xuanba's courtyard, Li Yuanji lives.
------
The layout of the west courtyard and the east courtyard is different, and the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard are connected to the east courtyard by a moon gate.
The upper room in the west courtyard is lived by Li Jiancheng.
The west side of the upper room is separated by a courtyard wall, and there are more than a dozen small courtyards with two entrances.
These small courtyards do not communicate with the inner courtyard, but lead to the outer courtyard.
------
Behind the two yards, is a huge garden with built-in rockeries and various landscaping.
In the shade of bamboo trees, there are several courtyards scattered.
The garden is full of winding paths and greenery, which makes you feel cool even in summer.
After arriving at the Li Manor, Guanyin was accompanied by Qin Lan and Fengshu and others, and went to the garden twice.
She didn't want to go again, she didn't like such a garden.
Guanyin felt that there was no water system in the garden, and there was a lack of aura.
Moreover, the trees in the garden are tall, and the shade covers the sun, and the Guanyin maid thinks that the yin is too heavy.
------
When I first arrived at the Li Manor in Hedong, Guanyin was unfamiliar with the place, and there were no acquaintances who could go to the door.
In the inner courtyard, if you don't go to the garden, there is nowhere else to go.
Guanyin stayed in the courtyard where she lived every day, reading books, playing chess, and practicing calligraphy.
She is dedicated to doing what she loves and has little interaction with other people.
Don't say the gate of the inner courtyard, Guanyin rarely even goes out of the backyard door of her own courtyard.
In the Li manor, there is basically no Guanyin maid.
People seem to have forgotten that there is still a lady in Erlang.
------
Because Li Shimin was not at home, after returning to Hedong from Chang'an, Guanyin rarely walked out of the courtyard.
When I was reading in the house, I often heard the sounds of boys and girls frolicking outside.
Guanyin felt very strange, could it be that the Tang State Mansion was so unruly? There will be people who will often make noise in the inner courtyard.
She asked Qin Lan, "Who is making noise outside all day?"
Qin Lan replied angrily,
"Who else? It's Shiro-kun messing around with the maidservants in his house."
"If the mistress is not at home, he will cause trouble sooner or later."
Guanyin was very puzzled,
"If he's messing around like this, won't anyone care?"
Qin Lan looked a little helpless,
"Shiro-kun is only afraid of the master's mother, and Dalang-kun spoils him again."
"No one can control it except the mistress."
Hearing Qin Lan say this, Guanyin became more and more curious about Li Yuanji.
She asked Qin Lan to give her a detailed introduction to Li Yuanji's situation.
-----
It has been said before that Li Yuanji was born ugly, and as soon as he was born, he was abandoned by Mrs. Dou.
The maidservant Chen kindly took her back and secretly raised her.
Li Yuan was working abroad, and after returning home on leave, Chen Shanyi made the matter clear to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan and his wife recognized this son again.
Because Mrs. Dou doesn't like Li Yuanji, and Li Yuan has been working outside all the year round, the responsibility of taking care of Li Yuanji falls on Li Jiancheng's shoulders.
Li Jiancheng is benevolent by nature, respectful and filial, and cares for this ugly fourth brother.
Teach him to practice martial arts, study, and take care of daily life.
Li Yuanji is also very dear to Li Jiancheng and wants to monopolize Li Jiancheng's care for his brothers.
Whenever Li Jiancheng cared about Li Shimin and Li Xuanba, he would be jealous.
------
Li Yuanji looks ugly, his father is difficult to kiss, and his mother is not loved.
Growing up in an abnormal family environment, his character development is not sound.
Li Yuanji has been very paranoid since he was a child, has a short temper, and will lose his temper if he is not satisfied.
When you are in a bad mood, you will take down people and get angry, and if you don't beat them, you will scold.
The servants and slaves in the house avoided it like tigers, lest they get into trouble.
The people privately nicknamed him "The Plague God".
------
When Mrs. Dou was at home, Li Yuanji was very scared and restrained.
When Mrs. Dou was not at home, he indulged wantonly, and no one could take care of him.
When something happened and it was reported to Li Jiancheng, he just reprimanded a few words, and he didn't punish him too much.
Therefore, after Mrs. Dou went to Liaodong with Li Yuan, Li Yuanji became more and more unscrupulous.
Guanyin listened to Qin Lan's introduction, and felt helpless, so she shook her head again and again.
She instructed the scribe who was doing the needlework beside her,
"You give an explanation to the chess, the piano, and the exhibition, and tell them to stay away from Shiro-kun, and don't provoke this 'plague god'."
------
For the next few days, it was still the same.
Guanyin will still hear it every day, Li Yuanji frolicking with the maidservants in his courtyard.
Zheng Guanyin, as the person who feeds in the palm of his hand, did not come out to take care of it.
Guanyin was reluctant to take care of this matter because Li Shimin had an explanation.
Suddenly, one morning, there was no noise outside.
The entire inner courtyard seemed very quiet, but Guanyin felt something abnormal.
It was also inconvenient for her to inquire, so she forgot about it and devoted herself to reading.
------
It was almost noon, and there was a sudden noise outside the hospital, which was very different from the frolicking of Li Yuanji and the maidservant girl in the past.
Guanyin thought to herself, I was afraid that something would go wrong, so I told Qin Lan,
"You go and see what's going on?"
Qin Lan took the order and left.
After a while, Qin Lan turned back.
The report said that Li Yuanji had led four male servants and wanted to enter the inner courtyard.
Feng Fei, the steward in charge of the gatehouse of the inner courtyard, refused to allow it, so she had an argument with Li Yuanji.
Feng Yu asked people to call Zheng Niangzi, but Zheng Niangzi didn't know what to do.
------
Guanyin knows that Zheng Guanyin is good, and there is definitely nothing she can do when she encounters Li Yuanji, the "plague god".
She has always been kind to herself, and Guanyin can't bear to see her embarrassed.
He said to Qin Lan and Fengshu, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look."
The three of them went out of the courtyard gate, went west to Yonglu Road, and then went south straight to the Hanging Flower Gate.
From afar, I saw Li Yuanji standing inside the door, and four manservants standing outside the door.
Feng Yu took two maidservants to block in front of Li Yuanji.
Zheng Guanyin stood aside with her maidservants Ji Xue and Qinghong.
-----
When she got closer, Guanyin asked Zheng Guanyin, "Sister-in-law, what happened?"
Before Zheng Guanyin answered, Feng Yu rushed to talk to Guanyin.
"Eldest grandson, you judge the reasoning."
"Shiro-kun wants to enter the inner courtyard with four male servants, but I won't let me. But he insisted on going in."
"I said, if you can enter, let Zheng Niangzi speak. Let someone invite Mrs. Zheng."
"After Zheng Niangzi came, Shilang Jun actually said that I bullied the master with a slave and didn't take Zheng Niangzi and him in my eyes. Now Mrs. Zheng can't make up her mind."
