Chapter 12: Shu Jin
Wanyue was taken aback, and stood aside in astonishment, she secretly thought in her heart: Is this preparing to 'kill chickens and show monkeys'?
The smashed maid was crying and crying, no matter how Wanyue looked at it, she felt that Guarjia Yinan was not well-intentioned, Wanyue glanced at Guarjia Yinan with a playful expression, and asked slightly: "The concubine asked my sister to say goodbye, what is the so-called matter for my sister to come to me?" ”
Guerjia Yinan turned her head and said to Wanyue: "Sister get up, I came to you today, one is to find out the culprit who damaged Yunjin on my sister's birthday, and the other is that I have been busy in the past few days and have not given my sister the gifts that have been given to me." In addition, there is no stock in this Yunjin Jingzhong, and my sister specially changed Shu Jin, hoping that my sister can laugh at it. ”
Wanyue pretended not to hear the meaning of her words, her eyebrows turned gentle, and she replied to her with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Thank you sister, I didn't expect my sister to take such a fancy to the congratulatory gift to my sister, my sister must treasure it." ”
After speaking, Mama Gui came over with a smile and put the prepared Shu brocade on Wanyue's hand, Wanyue looked up at Guarjia Yinan's face, and took it with a smile.
The sobbing in the room did not stop with the conversation between the two masters, and the maid was so immersed in grief that she could not help herself.
After a while, Guerjia Yinan opened her mouth softly, her lips closed one by one, and she looked at the maid with some unhappiness.
"What are you doing pretending to cry and crying, don't stain my ears and Fang Fujin's ears, you should be punished for doing something wrong, don't think that anyone can spare you."
"The slave is innocent, someone must have deliberately framed me, that cloud brocade was obviously given to me by Mama Gui, I didn't do anything. In the end, I was asked to take the blame, it must have been done by Mama Gui. The maid struggled, as if she had completely let go.
Guerjia Yinan panicked for a moment, then calmed down, gritted her teeth with a small mouth, and her sharp voice was like a sharp blade, "You are a dead girl, you dare to be hard-mouthed, the evidence is in front of you, and you still want to deny it." ”
Wanyue lowered her eyes, covered the coldness in her eyes, and said faintly: "Sister, I think there is another secret in this matter, that maid is so determined, it doesn't look like a lie." ”
Mama Gui's heart jumped, and she looked at the side Fujin Tatara Clan, who had a pale face as usual, and forced herself to calm down.
"What are you talking about, what do I do with an old woman who deliberately destroys Yun Brocade. Besides, the cloud brocade was specially selected by me from the silk and satin flowers in Beijing. ”
As soon as these words came out, Guerjia Yinan was shocked and reminded: "Mama, don't talk nonsense." Hurry up and teach the ignorant maid a lesson, lest she talk too much and disturb the quietness. ”
Wanyue raised her eyebrows, looked at her very calmly, and the fox finally showed its tail.
Before Mama Gui stepped out of the door, a voice sounded behind her: "Who does Chang Fujin want to teach a lesson?" ”
The voice was too familiar, Wan Yue didn't think much about it, and immediately said in a loud voice: "The concubine has seen Lord Belle." ”
Guerjia Yinan and a group of people were frightened by her actions, and only reacted when they saw her speak, and they all bowed down and saluted.
Yinqi's voice was very calm, but the situation in the house shocked him, and the crying maid's face was red, as if she had been slapped countless times.
Yinqi's face was a little unsightly in an instant, Guerjia Yinan looked a little trembling beside her, and Mama Gui, who was bent over and standing next to her, swayed slightly.
"That's how Chang Fujin controls his subordinates?"
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room fell silent.
Guerjia Yinan maintained an embarrassed smile on her face, and slowly opened her mouth, "Concubine...... Do ...... doing so"
"Even the palace is not allowed to dispose of the palace people at will, let alone the subordinates in the palace, you are the concubine Fujin, don't you understand these rules?" Yinqi's black and white eyes carried an inexplicable taste of scrutiny.
Guerjia is the emperor pointed out to him the Fu Jin, because the family background is one level higher than Wan Yue, this occupies the position of the Fu Jin, I didn't expect to treat the subordinates who made mistakes so viciously.
Guerjia Yinan gritted her teeth and knelt down on her knees, "The concubine knows her mistakes, and she won't treat her subordinates like this in the future." ”
"These days, you stay in the house and think about it behind closed doors! These days, the affairs of the house will be handed over to the side Fujin, and you will be in charge of the house after you resume the grounding. ”
Yinqi is always so kind-hearted, in her previous life, Wanyue obviously found evidence that Guarjia Yinan framed her, but in order to make the family peaceful, he finally chose to treat it coldly.
Wanyue took two steps forward, her eyes as black as paint, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a congratulatory gift, if it's broken, it's broken, don't worry." I don't think that maid needs to stay in the mansion anymore, so Lord Belle will send her back to her hometown. ”
This farce in Dongnuan Pavilion ended with sending the errant maid back to her hometown.
On the way back to Xinuan Pavilion, Wanyue's road was gloomy, and Mama Wang reminded in a low voice: "Miss, Rong slave is too talkative, why do you want to go against Chang Fujin?" ”
"Mama, you will know when you smell the smell of Shu brocade."
"How so?" Mama Wang picked up the Shu brocade in her hand, approached her nose and smelled it, "At first smell, there is a slight fishy smell of animals, and there is a strong floral fragrance, milk fragrance, and spicy taste." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid this Shu brocade has been soaked in musk. Musk has the effect of relaxing muscles and invigorating blood and eliminating stasis and spots, and can also relieve angina, but for women, musk is absolutely untouchable, and long-term exposure to musk will lead to endocrine disorders and even lead to infertility. ”
Wanyue was immersed in thoughts, Guarjia Yinan's methods really haven't changed, Wanyue's second miscarriage in her previous life was caused by this musk.
Since she is so kind, how can she live up to it, when she is favored and pregnant in the future, Wanyue will definitely return all this musk to her.
The weather in the house changed only a day, and the bookkeeper and housekeeper sent a box of account books early the next morning, including the Grange estate and the silver number of the shop outside Baylor House.
Wanyue's month of managing the backyard of Baylor Mansion was generally idle, after all, she had managed the palace for more than 30 years in her previous life, and she was quite familiar with the operation of the palace, and the attitude of the people under her was also very kind.
In a blink of an eye, it was May, and news had already spread in the palace that the emperor was going to 'set up a banquet' in the palace, and she had no chance to enter the palace, so she realized the benefits of her identity.
Since the beginning of May, the house has been preparing for it, wrapping rice dumplings with glutinous rice, salted duck eggs, and white eggs, for five consecutive days, reaching a climax on the fifth day of the new year. On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the people in the house erected the prepared calamus and mugwort leaves in front of the door, lit incense and candles, worshiped the ancestors in the morning, and worshiped each other for the New Year.
Guerjia Yinan finally lifted the grounding, Yinqi led her and the concubines to sit on the table, and everyone ate zongzi, eggs, and drank a cup of realgar soju. The maids dipped the wine in the male yellow and drew a king character on the forehead of the little masters, in order to achieve the effect of driving away disasters and warding off evil spirits, and in the afternoon, Guerjia Yinan followed Belle Ye into the palace to participate in the dumpling banquet.
Wanyue returned to her own house and continued to taste zongzi, Yuzhi saw that she didn't seem to be in high spirits, and thought of the Duanyang Festival in her hometown, so she opened the conversation.
Yuzhi said that the Duanyang Festival in the south of the Yangtze River is still good-looking, and every Duanyang Festival, the local officials will hold dragon boat racing activities in order to have fun with the people. Anyone who arrives at the Duanyang Festival must eat big fish and meat, after eating, everyone will go out of the city to the river to watch the rowing boat, the shape of the boat is not very different from the ordinary wooden boat, the boat of the Duanyang Festival dragon boat racing is high at both ends, the boat looks long and narrow, the hull is painted with various colors, each boat can sit about a dozen people. Each participant holds a short oar and rows the boat along with the sound of the drums, and there is a reward for those who walk in front of the drums after the drumming is over, and a duck with a red strap is put into the water, and whoever catches a duck with a red strap becomes hers.
Wanyue thought it was really interesting, she had heard that the Duanyang Festival in Jiangnan was more lively than the capital, and the Duanyang Festival in Jiangnan had always had the tradition of dragon boat racing on the lake, but she had never seen it, and the farthest place she had followed Bei Leye in her previous life was the Rehe Palace.
Wanyue ate zongzi in her mouth, but sighed slightly in her heart, she must go to Jiangnan to take a look in this life.
