Chapter 45: Winter
Chapter 45: Winter
It is rare for the couple here to have time to talk around the child, but the eldest lady of the Nianfu in the capital is not as comfortable as the two of them.
Looking at the lotus pond with only a few residual lotuses left, Nian Ruyu hugged her knees and sat on the bench in the pavilion, and the little girl next to her took a fox fur and said softly: "Gege, it's cold, add some clothes." ”
Nian Ruyu ignored it, her charming eyes swept to the refreshments on the stone table next to her, and she ate the almond crisp casually, her red lips pursed, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she only stared at the residual lotus floating on the surface of the water in a daze, without saying a word.
At this time, it has passed late autumn, the lotus has long been defeated, there were originally people to clean up, this lotus pond should not be so scarce, but in recent years, the whole house has been busy with the big event of the eldest lady's family, some small things, naturally no one cares, and the people are lazy.
The cold wind was blowing, Nian Ruyu couldn't help but shiver, but her body straightened up for a moment, Li Shi turned his head and looked at this woman who was once famous in the capital, only to feel that her expression was too calm, so calm that it made people feel a little frightened.
The access control of Yongwang Mansion is not strict, and it is easy for relatives to go out, which also gives Li a lot of convenience, and they come to visit from time to time, but over the years, she and Nian Ruyu have used each other, and they have a lot of time to calculate, and there is no time when they really think about each other.
In the past, every time Li heard Nian Ruyu talk about Prince Yong, talking about Prince Yong's Fujin, in and out of words, jealousy, hatred, viciousness, meanness and the like, in the eyes of men, the weak, tender and beautiful, always with the air of dust Miss Nian, its real side, and most spoiled aunts and grandmothers are no different.
"What are you going to do?"
Nian Ruyu just smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were bent, and the gentle light was overflowing, but somehow, Li suddenly felt a heart twitch suddenly, and suddenly felt a little uneasy, this woman, won't really go crazy, if she does something unreasonable, don't bother herself.
Wiping away the cold sweat that instantly oozed from his forehead, Li made up his mind that before Nian Ruyu got married, he would never meet her again, and no one knew better than himself what it was like in the always low-key Yongwang Mansion.
Over the years, the group of women in the backyard of the Li family and Yinzhen have all been safe and stable, not because their hearts are stable, but whether they are conspiracy or conspiracy, no matter how many small means they use, those house fighting kung fu that have been perfected will be invalid immediately as long as they are used on Wang Ye and Fu Jin.
Even now, she didn't understand why the Yongwang Mansion went from the personal girl next to the lord to the rough girl who cleaned outside, from the steward to the little maid, all of them didn't get in with oil and salt, threatening people not to care, and luring people to swallow all of them and not do anything, which would only make the women with full stomachs depressed.
Why is that woman in Guerjia Zhiyun so powerful? There are all kinds of tricks in other palaces, but in this Yongwang Mansion, is it really impossible to perform?
Li sighed, thinking that when the Wulanala clan was there, although her means were also sharp, it was far less powerful than now, and Brother Honghui was not well protected by her back then, but the Li family relied on his control of the palace for many years, and he didn't unknowingly replace the little brother's food with the food of mutual restraint, and then from time to time induced the Wulanala clan to give the little brother some bright noodles and very supplements, which were actually very inappropriate. just hollowed out the bones of a good brother Fujin and a healthy brother little by little......
How can the means or those means not work on this Guerjia clan? No, not only does it not work, but it also does not harm that Guarjia Zhiyun every time, but harms herself, her appearance has aged over the years, her body has deteriorated, and she has been sick at the age of thirty, in addition to her unsatisfactory life, this is also an important reason, so she has also learned to be obedient and honest in recent years, and she no longer dares to act rashly and casually.
Although she is very depressed, Li is not a fool, Nian Ruyu is a woman who has no hope, and she is likely to do irrational things with resentment, but she still has two children here, and she must not play with fire.
The days are still like flowing water, and they will not stop because of the retention of just one woman.
Soon it was October, the first day of the new year was the Cold Food Festival, which could be regarded as entering the winter, and all kinds of thermal insulation arrays in the main courtyard of Yongwang's Mansion and in the baby room had been operating endlessly. The clothes of the women in the backyard and the people in the lower quarters have long been distributed, and Zhiyun and the few big girls around her have nothing to do, so the maids are playing cards in the warm room, playing chess, playing chess, and being a female red, all of them are idle, and Zhiyun went to his own half-plane laboratory to be busy with his own alchemy experiments.
Now, using alchemy to achieve future high-tech is the latest topic, and the entire Floating City has been released, and the apprentices who can take charge of themselves have all been downloaded from Zhiyun's brain, and the information after the explanation is marked, and they are buried in the laboratory.
The results are not much, in total, there is only one long beginning to study the 'magic brain' began to industrialize, and the manufacture of satellites specifically for its service, it is estimated that it will not be long before the entire floating city can set up a network, students can go online anytime and anywhere to learn to browse, on the ground, you can also begin to popularize the 'magic brain' from the capital to the whole territory of the Qing Dynasty.
Zhiyun expressed her satisfaction, and she also made herself a complete set of medical instruments that operated magically, in addition to observing the health of the body, she also explored the power of the soul.
To put it bluntly, the magic comes from the soul, the stronger the soul power, the greater the magic power, her current magic power is in a stable period, even if she desperately meditates to gather demons, the improvement of magic power is very slow, where, I just thought about finding a breakthrough in the soul, after the thing completed the safety test, Zhiyun tested it herself, and the result was very satisfied, her soul power was more than a little stronger than that of October them, that was not comparable at all, but later, Ouyang was also arrested, and when I looked at it again, I was depressed, Ouyang's soul power is even higher than his own......
So, we Zhiyun rolled her eyes, stopped experimenting, hung a jade plate on her body to warm her soul, and wore a pair of silver bracelets with the same effect on her wrists, and obediently ran to the Yongwang Mansion to rest, and by the way, she warmed her soul.
Since the beginning of winter, the days outside have been shorter, and the weather has been a lot colder, Zhiyun doesn't like to go out, and the whole person is curled up on the hot kang, enjoying the leisure time of taking a nap and sleeping in winter.
On this day, she was setting up a canvas, holding a box of oil paints in her hand, sitting in the house tinkering with oil paintings, and her little girl sitting on the warm floor playing puzzles.
The two children were raised to be chubby, and they were also dressed in very festive fluffy clothes, just like two glutinous rice balls, which were so cute that Zhiyun was so amused that she happily let the two babies enter the painting.
To say that Zhiyun's painting, has not been studied very systematically, she paints sketches, or tosses ink paintings, it is still relatively good, but painting oil paintings, it is inevitable that there is some abstraction at the beginning, fortunately, Zhiyun has high mental power, learns everything quickly, and the control of a pair of hands has reached the point of subtlety, after more than a dozen, this oil painting can finally see people. Even if you look at foreign painters in this era, you can probably praise the excellent use of color.
Of course, the layman maids and Mama Cui saw it, and they couldn't wait to offer this little baby who was very real, even the demeanor and skin lines were exactly the same as the real person, if it wasn't for Zhiyun to stop it, I am afraid that from the bedroom to the study, all the decorations on the walls would have become their own daughters and children.
Zhiyun was spending his days here, and it was almost time for the New Year, when suddenly one night, Zhiyun and Ouyang were talking, thinking about their plans for the coming year, when they heard a banging knock on the door.
Zhiyun was stunned, sat up with her clothes on, and heard July who was on night duty outside say in a loud voice: "Master, Fujin, the fourth elder brother has returned home." ”
Honghao? Zhiyun frowned, wasn't that child left in the palace today by Banzai and spent the night in Yonghe Palace? At this time, the palace door has long been closed, why do you run home at night.
Ouyang was also puzzled, waved his hand, the bedside light turned on, and the two of them didn't let the maids into the house to wait, they simply put on their clothes and went out with their hands, and as soon as they opened the door, they heard October whisper: "Master, Fujin, you two go and have a look, the fourth elder brother is not very good." ”
Zhiyun gasped, his feet were unstable, fortunately he was pulled by Ouyang in an instant, and then he reacted, Honghao himself wore a warning spar on him, if there was a real problem, not only would he be there to warn, but he could also know it for the first time, and turned his head and glanced at the golden gem inlaid on the wall, which was stable and waveless, obviously there could be no big deal. Only then did he nod and walk out calmly.
"Lele?"
"E-Niang ......"
As soon as they entered the hall, Zhiyun and Ouyang saw Honghao sitting on the chair aggrievedly, his little face was pale, and Mama Cui was feeding the child ginseng tea with a distressed face, it didn't look very good, but the little guy's eyes were dripping, and it was obviously not a big deal.
Zhiyun's heart was relieved, and then he beckoned Li Dequan to sit down and have tea, and when he inquired, he knew that Honghao's little was sent back by the royal chariot of the Long Live Lord, and he couldn't help but be full of black lines, look at it, this little is so high-profile, I don't know what strange words will come out of the palace in Beijing tomorrow, beckoned Li Dequan to sit for a while, and stuffed him with a thick purse.
Li Dequan accepted it with a smile, and only said when he left: "Don't worry about the prince and Fujin, it's not that the fourth elder brother made a mistake, it's just that those minions didn't serve well, and Long Live Lord and Concubine De have already dealt with it." ”。
