Part 1 Staggered Time and Space Chapter 2 The Spirit Stone of Fate

Section 267 Backyard (3)

took Chang Yuxiao, Qing'er and others to the front of the hall of the main courtyard, and Cai'er was standing outside the door.

Seeing Yueqing and them coming, Cai'er stepped forward: "Miss is here." ”

"Well, what about Aunt Liu?"

"They're all sitting in the hall."

"Have you had lunch?"

"I've used it."

"That's good. The child can't go hungry. ”

"Miss, don't worry, you're waiting for delicious food and drink."

"Is anyone making trouble?"

Cai'er said with a smile: "Aunt Liu and Miss's cousin have shouted, and when they saw that no one paid attention to them, they were honest." ”

Yueqing smiled.

Cai'er asked, "Does Miss want to come in to meet them?" ”

"Don't worry, Cai'er, you take a look at this first." As she spoke, Yueqing handed the two thin books given by Mo Xue to Cai'er.

Cai'er opened it and glanced at it, knowing what it was, and looked up at Yueqing: "Miss, this is?" ”

"Mo Xue gave it to me. Even the witnesses and exhibits were brought. ”

"I see, why hasn't my Miss Dao been here for so long, it turns out that she is preparing for this." After speaking, he took a closer look.

The more I looked at it, the more angry I became: "Aunt Liu, they are really bold, they dare to do anything." ”

Yueqing said: "Then what don't you dare to do, my mother never cares, the other two aunts have no power, my father spoils her very much, the family is handed over to her, and there is a brother who helps her in the house."

The status of Yongjing Wangfu is getting higher and higher, and so many things given by the villa and the rewards in the palace are also put there. It's normal for her to want to be greedy, but her appetite is a little too big, and she doesn't even let go of her mother's tonic medicine. ”

Cai'er frowned: "It's insatiable, if it weren't for Aunt Wen coming, she was planning to hollow out the entire palace." ”

Yueqing said: "Although Aunt Wen came late, after all, she has been in charge of the house for a while, and she must already know something." It's just that I didn't expose it, I don't know why? ”

Cai'er said: "Aunt Wen is smart, I guess I don't want to care." ”

Yueqing smiled: "Yes, I originally thought that she had served her mother for so long, and she was also a person who could be entrusted in the house." Looks like we're going to have to bang it a little bit. ”

Qing'er said: "After all, Aunt Wen has been here for a short time, and she may not be able to start, after all, Aunt Liu is still very favored, and she has children and daughters by her side." is very loved by the prince, she is different, she came to the mansion not because of the prince's love, but more to obey the arrangements of the palace. Thinking about it, she should also know that even if she manages, she may not really be able to restrain Aunt Liu. ”

Cai'er said: "Indeed, after Aunt Wen entered the mansion, the prince rarely went to her, and stayed more in Aunt Liu and Aunt Ruyan's room. And Aunt Wen will not take the initiative to win the love of the prince, but will take care of her by her side. It's a very clever thing to do. ”

Yueqing nodded: "What you said also makes sense." Hmph, when I wanted to leave, Aunt Liu was also there, but I didn't see that this woman was like this at that time. The palace at that time is much more stable now. ”

He sighed and said, "Let's go in, it's too late, and it's not good." Brother, don't go in yet, just wait outside the door for Daddy to come back, and bring him over when he comes back. In addition, find some guards in the palace, and after Daddy enters, bring witnesses and evidence outside the door and wait, don't use people from the villa. ”

Chang Yuxiao nodded, "Okay, listen to you." ”

Cai'er walked over and opened the door, and the people in the door who had different expressions turned their faces one after another. I saw Yueqing walking in surrounded by all the maids, the sun was shining on her body, and the expression on her face was not angry and arrogant, so that her cousin, who wanted to step forward and admonish her, swallowed back the cruel words.

However, you can't say heavy words, and you still have to say two sentences if you complain.

"Yuqing, you can be regarded as here, what do you want to do by keeping all the people in the mansion here for so long?"

Yueqing glanced at him and didn't answer him, but asked with a smile: "Uncle Cousin has eaten at noon, I don't know if the food is to taste?" ”

"Hmph, I don't even have an explanation for being locked up here, where do I have any appetite to eat."

"How can it be done, Chunxiu, go and let someone prepare another good dish, how can you make your cousin hungry, I'm here to accompany my cousin to eat."

Chunxiu saluted: "Yes." "I'm going to arrange it.

Uncle Cousin said, "Okay, what else to eat?" I'm full of gas. "A master's tone.

Chunxiu looked at Yueqing, and Yueqing said, "Since that's the case, forget it, my cousin can only be wronged for a while." ”

Cousin Sun Youqing stepped forward and asked, "What, this means that we will be locked up for a while." ”

Cai'er shouted: "Presumptuous, stay away from Miss, and if you shout like this, I will let you go back to your own courtyard for a month or two." ”

Sun Youqing glared, snorted, and ignored Cai'er. Cai'er frowned, and it was not good to attack in front of the young lady.

Yueqing said: "Cai'er, forget it, many of the people in this hall are Yuqing's elders. I'm not good at being a junior, and I reprimand it directly. ”

Aunt Liu said in a weird manner: "I also know that we are elders, and locking a group of elders in the hall is also something that a junior can do." ”

Yueqing slowly walked to the chair near Aunt Liu and sat down, this place is close to the main seat, if you want to count it according to the elders and juniors, it is not where she sits.

Glancing at the people in the hall, most of them sat in their positions honestly, except for the younger Yuxian who was held in his arms. Sun Youqing also sat angrily next to Aunt Liu, but he was sitting under Aunt Liu, and there were also three women sitting next to him, Yueqing didn't know him, and guessed that it might be his wife and concubine.

Sitting opposite Aunt Liu is Aunt Wen, and below is Aunt Jia, Yuxin, and Yuze. Aunt Zheng and Yuting sat at the bottom, and Yuting leaned on Aunt Zheng's arms. The wound on his face has not gone away, but has become more swollen.

Aunt Ruyan sat opposite them, under the head of her cousin Sun Youqing.

Yueqing looked at Yu Ze: "Yu Ze has studies that still need to be completed, and staying here will affect his studies." ”

Yu Ze got up and said, "Sister Yuqing, don't worry, the homework left by Mr. Yu Ze has been completed." ”

Yueqing nodded: "Okay, sit down, I'm not much older than you." It doesn't have to be so formal. ”

Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at him, and hugged Yuxian in her arms tightly.

Yu Ze pretended not to see it and sat back.

Yueqing smiled, took out the two thin books from her sleeve and put them on the small table in front of her.

Aunt Wen looked at it very carefully, the paper used in the thin book was expensive, and it was not commonly used by her mother's family and Yongjing Palace. Maybe it's only available to royalty, and I don't know what's in it.

I only heard Yueqing say: "Let everyone come here and think about it, many people don't know what's going on, and I will briefly inform you." ”

Aunt Liu was secretly nervous in her heart, and glanced at Aunt Zheng's mother and daughter who were sitting at the bottom. hugged Yuxian in his arms again, he was really unlucky today, how did he meet this evil star, a little thing, the whole house knows about it. Originally, I was coquettish in front of the prince, and I said a few words with oil and vinegar.

It's always like this, Aunt Wen hasn't taken care of a housekeeper either, but this evil star is holding on to herself, hum, isn't it just a few hits and a snatch of a sachet, or a small fight between the children, what can she do to herself. Is it possible to drive yourself out of the palace, thinking of this, I have a lot of peace in my heart, and I am really afraid of dealing with myself in private, which is much easier to do in front of everyone.

Yueqing continued: "This morning, I went to visit my mother's room, fortunately my mother's son is better, and the doctor said that the weather is good and I can go to the hospital to go around, which is conducive to recovery. I took my mother to the garden, and unfortunately, I encountered an incident. ”

Aunt Wen smiled and asked, "This morning, when I walked from my sister's room, I did hear you say that you were going to go around the courtyard. After speaking, his eyes glanced at Aunt Zheng and the others who were sitting at the bottom.

Yueqing said a little embarrassed: "Speaking of which, I shouldn't be a junior, but this happened to me to meet, and I didn't want to care about it, but thinking that I was the emperor's personal lord of Shun'an, the glory of our house was all given by the emperor, if I didn't care, it would inevitably make people say that I had the title of county lord, but I didn't think about the honor of the palace." ”

Aunt Liu gritted her teeth, she didn't want to care about anything, and she returned the honor of the palace, where was the child's little fight as serious as she said.

Aunt Wen said: "What Yuqing said, you have a rank, even if the prince has something wrong, you have to persuade it, who will say that you are a junior." Tell me what the hell is going on. ”

Yueqing lowered her head and thought for a while, "That, Aunt Wen, then if I say it, don't blame me for not distinguishing between dignity and inferiority, and talking about elders." ”

Aunt Wen said angrily: "Look, you kid, don't worry, Aunt promises that no one here will talk about you." ”

Yueqing was embarrassed and said, "Then Aunt Wen, if Daddy blames me, you have to help me speak." ”

Aunt Wen smiled: "Don't worry, Aunt will definitely let your father blame you for this." ”

Aunt Liu's eyes jumped, listening to them singing and drinking, and her heart was panicked.

Yueqing said reassuringly: "Okay, then I'll say it." If you offend anyone, please don't take it personally, I'm just telling the truth. This morning, near the rockery in the garden, I saw Aunt Liu teaching Sister Yuting a lesson. So he stepped forward to understand the situation, only to know that Sister Yuting robbed Sister Yuye's things, Yuxian was angry and competed with her, and during the competition, Sister Yuting pushed her and broke her leg.

originally thought that since Aunt Liu was here, the lesson would be over after two lessons, but this lesson was a little ruthless, and Sister Yuting's face was damaged. Aunt Zheng was also beaten hard when she pleaded beside her. I stepped forward to persuade him, saying that it was important for someone to treat Yuxian's younger brother's injuries, but Aunt Liu stopped her, and Yuting's sister said that she didn't push Yuxian.

I didn't know what to do now, and there were my younger siblings on both sides, each talking about their own. But this matter can't be left alone all the time, whether it's Yuting grabbing things and lying, or Yuxian lying, as the children of King Yongjing, can't do this. But I'm not easy to manage, after all, I'm a junior, so I thought it would be better to let my father and everyone comment on this reason and take care of this matter. ”

After Yueqing finished speaking, she glanced at Aunt Wen, then at the others, and then said:

So I asked Chunxiu to invite everyone over. I didn't think that my father was not at home, and I went to the court, Yuqing didn't know that my father would be in the villa for many years, so I invited everyone to come over a little early. But thinking that his father would come back soon, he didn't let everyone go back, for fear that this back and forth would make people think that Yuqing was playing tricks on everyone.

But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see my father come back, and I was afraid that my younger brothers and sisters would be hungry, so I paid for the house to prepare food and drink. continued to wait for Daddy to come back, but Daddy hasn't come back yet. Ladies and gentlemen, it is the first time Yuqing has experienced this, she has no experience, she has not arranged it, and the things she prepared are not to everyone's appetite, and her cousin has not even eaten it. Yuqing can't stand everyone, and please forgive me, all elders. ”

Aunt Wen looked at Aunt Liu with some embarrassment, and said after consideration: "So that's the case, Yuqing, your arrangement is nothing, and the meal prepared for lunch is also very good." Where is there forgiveness for this, it's just, you also know that my aunt has just come to the house not long ago, although she is now in the housekeeper, but some things are too easy to manage. After all, they are all the children of the prince, and it is not good for the aunt to help anyone, and the above may not be able to help you in this matter. ”

Yueqing nodded and looked at Aunt Jia.

Aunt Jia lowered her head and said, "Auntie doesn't know how to take care of it, I have never managed the house, and I can't manage the two in my own yard alone." ”

Yueqing sighed and looked at Aunt Ruyan, who didn't expect her to ask for her opinion, turned the hair in her hand and said, "I can't say anything, I came later than Aunt Wen, and I never care about home." I think it's better to ask the prince what he thinks. ”

Yueqing nodded and looked at her cousin, who was about to speak, Yueqing smiled and said, "After all, my cousin is not from my father's backyard, he just lives here temporarily, Yueqing won't ask, and then we will have an idea, please let my cousin be a witness." ”

Sun Youqing snorted and turned his head.

Yueqing then became embarrassed. "It seems that this matter can only wait for Daddy to come back."

Aunt Liu stood up and said, "It's not a big deal, where is there such a trouble, the county mainly thinks that I did something wrong, I just apologize to them." ”

Yueqing looked at her: "Aunt Liu, I can't be the master of this matter, since all the aunts can't make up their minds, let's ask my father's opinion, I have already sent someone to urge." Aunt Liu is still patient and waits for a while, Yuqing is also here to wait with everyone. Chunxiu, serve tea to everyone, and use the Qingyun Qiansi I brought back from the villa. ”

"Yes."

Aunt Wen said: "Qingyun Qiansi, but the superb tea in Xibao City, oops, it is not often drunk even in the palace." ”

"It's really brought back from Xibao City, why isn't it common in Beijing?"

"You girl, what is not common in Beijing, even in that palace is not common."

"Huh? It's so rare, those aunts should try it well, but unfortunately I don't bring too much, or I can give my aunt a copy. ”

"Where do you dare to ask for this, just taste it, but the gold is expensive."

Aunt Liu looked impatient, looking at the few girls who were still standing in front of the closed door, it would definitely not work if she wanted to leave.

Aunt Wen continued: "Speaking of which, this is also an opportunity, Yuqing came back in a hurry yesterday, and she didn't have a good talk with her aunt and sisters and brothers at home, just while we were waiting for the prince to come back, we had a good talk." ”

Yueqing said: "What Aunt Wen said is also reasonable, I'm ashamed to say it, I still don't recognize it completely, who are these people around my cousin?" ”

A woman beside Sun Youqing hurriedly said, "Ouch, Miss County Lord, I'm your cousin." I have long heard that the county lord's temperament is unearthly, and her beauty is extraordinary, which can be compared with the fairies in the sky. I didn't see it yesterday, and it's a bit of a pity. Thanks to seeing it today, it really doesn't look like an ordinary character. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be my cousin, and the two next to me are also aunts?"

The cousin said, "Oh, they are all your cousin's concubines. ”

Yueqing smiled and nodded.

The cousin continued: "Yuqing, I heard that there are a lot of treasures in the villa, and you brought a lot of them with you when you came back this time, and they were also distributed to the courtyards yesterday, you see, we were not here yesterday, and we didn't receive them." Your cousin is also an elder, and it is said that our family should also have it, you see this. ”

Beside her, a younger, more beautiful woman, looked at her with disdain, and stood farther away from her.

Yueqing understood, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Cousin, I didn't know that my cousin was also in the house, and I didn't know who there were in my cousin's courtyard, so I didn't prepare." Or next time, anyway, we all live together in the backyard, and we should prepare it for you, and when Yuqing goes back and is ready, I will definitely go to the west courtyard to send it to my cousin. ”

My cousin nodded hurriedly. "Hey, good. I don't have too high requirements, just one for each master in our courtyard, there are two children in my cousin's room, and there are also two children in your cousin's concubine's room. Plus your cousin, just prepare me to calculate, seven parts. ”

Yueqing nodded, "Okay, I must send it to the West Courtyard." ”

The cousin nodded with satisfaction, and her smiling eyes were gone.

Yueqing ignored him anymore, turned her head to Aunt Jia and said, "Aunt Jia, Sister Yuxin is not young this year, right, but she has already made a promise?" ”

Aunt Jia said: "It hasn't been decided yet, I think the prince should have a number in his heart." ”

Yueqing said happily: "Oh, yesterday Aunt Wen and Daddy were still talking about what happened after I went out, now I have some push, my sister is not married, where is my turn." If you want to marry, marry her first. ”

Aunt Wen blamed: "Look at your child's temperament, and you have to compare with your sister Yuxin, it seems that you have to persuade the prince to hurry up and give Yuxin Zhang Luo the marriage, otherwise you will have to say it in the future." ”

Yuxin also said strangely: "I don't want to get married so early, and I want to honor my mother and aunt in the house for a few more days." I think it's Yuqing who wants to go out, otherwise how can you mention my marriage, don't you want to marry me off quickly, so that your father can tell you about the marriage. ”

"Sister Yuxin, you have wronged me, I wish you had been in the way."

Yuxin smiled: "Then you have to tell your father." ”

"If I don't mention it to him, it might be self-defeating."

Aunt Wen said: "You two sisters have something to say, leave us all aside, I think it is better to live together tonight and talk about private things." ”

Yueqing said: "Aunt Wen, this is not a good decision for you, now that the two of us have the same goal, maybe we will discuss a way to give my aunt a headache in the evening." ”

Yuxin covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Yes, what Yuqing said makes sense, what is Yuqing's good way, we must discuss it tonight." ”

Aunt Wen said to Aunt Jia: "Look, look, these two are now dealing with me together." Sister Jia, you need to help me more. ”

Aunt Jia said: "Yuxin, this girl, but the first time she said such a thing, she must have been brought by Yuqing, Yuqing, this child is eccentric, but it is very likable." Sister Wen, I don't think you need to be so troublesome, as long as you hold down Yuqing's head, the two of them will not be able to make a climate. ”

Aunt Wen laughed: "Yes, why didn't I expect it to be so reasonable." ”

Yuqing and Yuxin looked at each other.

Yuqing said: "Alas, the arm can't twist the thigh, it seems that this plan is difficult to put into action." I don't think about it, I still have to find a way to learn more things, so that I can gain a firm foothold as soon as possible when I come to my husband's house in the future. By the way, Yuze, where did you learn your homework, I don't know if I can study together. Although I also have teachers, it is too boring to study. ”

Yu Ze said: "Daddy invited my husband to be at home, but it's in the front yard, I don't know if Daddy will agree to let my sister over." ”

"Is it interesting for the gentleman to teach?"

Yu Ze wondered, "Where is the schoolwork interesting?" Mr. only said that he should be attentive to his schoolwork, and he should work hard to read more and memorize more. If I let my husband know that my sister asked for interesting schoolwork, I might be angry. ”

Yueqing flattened her mouth, "Then I don't want to learn from him, I really want to go, maybe it's even more boring." I'm still in the yard playing chess, calligraphy and painting, I heard that Aunt Ruyan is very good at these, I don't know if you can give me guidance. ”

Ruyan was turning her hair and didn't know what she was thinking, and when she heard Yueqing calling her, she was stunned for a moment before saying, "This, Ruyan doesn't dare to give guidance to the county lord." ”

Aunt Liu said with a smile: "Of course I don't dare to guide, in case the county lord guides me all day long, I can't make people laugh off their big teeth." ”

Aunt Ruyan looked at the people in the hall and lowered her head with a bitter expression.

Yueqing smiled: "Will Aunt Ruyan teach me that?" ”

Ruyan said: "Of course not, where can the county lord learn that." ”

"That's it, Aunt Ruyan is also a member of our family now, and she is her own family, of course, she will consider the face of the palace."

Ruyan nodded.

Aunt Liu sneered.

While talking, Chunxiu led the maids to bring tea.

As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a fresh fragrance.

"Miss, the tea is ready."

"Distribute it to everyone, so that all aunts and sisters and brothers can taste it."

Chunxiu divided the tea as she said.

Everyone looked at the cup full of emerald green with the beautiful cup, as well as the full cup of fragrance, and they all paid attention to the tea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, try it. After talking for so long, I should be thirsty. As he spoke, he picked up his cup, blew lightly, and took a sip.

All the aunts also picked it up, Aunt Wen didn't drink it directly, but sniffed and smelled, "Oh, this tea is really not ordinary, look at the emerald green color, and the tea leaves at the bottom of the cup, Qingyun Qiansi is really as tea as its name, how can these so many hair-thin leaves not break, beautiful as flowers." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the aunts, "Sisters are blessed today, and the ladies in this palace may not be able to drink this tea." I heard that this clear silk is not only delicious but also very nourishing, better than the effect of ginseng. ”

The cousin took the cup in her hand and said in surprise: "Ouch, is it?" Even the ladies in the palace can't drink it, so I want to taste it. ”

As he spoke, he gulped down the cup of tea.

"Well, it's really different from the tea we usually drink."

Ruyan covered her mouth and smiled.

The cousin looked at her bewildered, and then at the strange glances of most of the people in the hall.

The woman next to her said: "Sister, this tea needs to be tasted slowly, where is there a cow like my sister, I really don't know it." ”

The cousin glared at her: "You little slut, Yuqing is here today, I don't have the same knowledge as you, I'll clean you up when I go back." ”

The woman immediately had tears in her eyes, pushed her cousin, and cried in a coquettish voice: "Master." ”

Uncle Cousin said, "Shut up, don't be embarrassed here." ”

The woman withdrew her hand in fright, wiping her tears with her handkerchief.

Yueqing said in her heart: This ancient woman's way of being coquettish is to cry, unified pretentiousness, and no disease-free moaning. Recite.

"Daddy is really, why hasn't he come back yet. Qing'er, you go and take a look again, where are you? ”

"Yes." Qing'er left as she was told.

Only then did everyone in the hall remember why they were here, and they all drank tea silently with their own thoughts.

The hall was quiet for a while.

Qing'er said at the door: "The prince is back." ”
