Chapter One Hundred and Seven: A Millennial Fellow
"Boss, ahhh The lord of this castle must pick only the best, and you will not be able to rely on it when the time comes. Yan Shuangying looked at the masked man, his two eyes looked straight at Yuqing, and hurriedly took a step forward to block the urging in front of Yuqing.
"Owner, you put on a mask on your eyes, you didn't see that the lord of Yan Xiaobao was jealous." One of the people in the back quipped.
There were only four bird cages in the back room, each one large, and the birds inside were much larger than the letter birds outside. Yuqing was unconsciously surprised, this is a modern pigeon, but he admires the ability of the mask man in his heart, how to use those small birds to breed such a big bird. The people behind were amazed.
"Boss, you bird looks docile and cute, can you fly long distances to deliver letters?"
"I haven't domesticated yet, so I don't know how physical endurance is. However, the owner is very confident that he will be able to domesticate it. The Mask Man said confidently, he knew how big a modern pigeon is, but unfortunately he was only a few years old when he came, and he drowned in a daze, and woke up here. Originally, the family raised a lot of pigeons, in order to raise pigeons, my parents also moved to the countryside to live, and the pigeons raised often participated in various competitions. I didn't read in my previous life, and I only read kindergarten to middle class. Fortunately, I followed my father to raise pigeons, which is an ancestral skill for domesticating birds, otherwise I wouldn't be able to survive here. However, he did not have much knowledge in the first place, and life was even more difficult in ancient times, and it took him ten years to breed this pigeon.
The young lady just said a multiplication formula, and he didn't know that he had heard his brother and sister say it, could it be that she was his fellow countryman. The masked man was a little absent-minded, and the two eyes that only showed under the mask looked at Yuqing more eagerly. This made Yan Shuangying very unhappy, so he took off a bird cage casually, took Yuqing's hand and walked out of the pigeon house. Yuqing is nothing, seeing the performance of the mask man, Yuqing is already completely sure that this is a fellow from thousands of years away.
The pigeons in the cage cooed, but none of this interested the two men. On the way back, the two of them spoke less, and in the end, Yan Shuangying spoke first: "Yuqing, is this kind of bird easy to feed?" ”
"Twin eagles, why be so angry, there will be nothing to lose by being looked at a few more times, haven't you noticed that the masked man's eyes are as pure as a child."
"Of course I can see it, otherwise we wouldn't have walked away. Seriously, what do you feed this big bird? Even a bird is hard to breed, isn't it? ”
"Twin eagles, there are so many question marks, I promise that it won't be long before many of them are bred. There are a lot of birds in the mountains behind the villa, and this is not a problem. Yuqing was perfunctory, saying in her heart that now this princess can take out a lot, and at the same time wondering why Yuyu and the little boy didn't talk.
"Master, if we talk again, your secret will be revealed." The soul pen said to Yuqing biting his ear in his divine sense.
Sure enough, just about Yuyu's small action, Yan Shuangying looked at Yuqing suspiciously. Yuqing pretended not to notice and talked about other things: "Shuangying, the day after tomorrow is the Qingqing Festival, don't forget to give Zhen'er a blind date." ”
"I haven't forgotten, but I haven't figured out what kind of person can get into her eyes, the original eldest brother's conditions are the most suitable, but he already has a wife and two concubines, and there are several who warm the bed."
"There must be a few of them."
"Not really, I've heard that there have been cases that haven't been saved. The people who come to tease the birds today are almost the same, so Shuangying does not agree with the many wives and concubines in the backyard. Having more wives and concubines is not necessarily a blessing for a man, and having more children and grandchildren does not necessarily lead to a prosperous family. There is only one of the more than ten sons of the first emperor, and there are so many man's wives and concubines. Men are also caught in the middle and it is difficult to do, other women who defend their wives are resentful, and pampering others is spoiling concubines and killing wives. In the end, it is the man and the family business that suffer, and it is better to recognize that it is best for a person to start from the beginning. ”
"Shuangying, your concept is very good, in fact, children don't need so much, just have a companion for each other. In this way, the best living environment can be given to the child, and the father and mother can also give the child the best upbringing. In fact, both men and women have limited energy. Only when husband and wife work together can they get better and better, and the children they raise will have their own success. ”
"Yuqing, how many children should we have in the future?"
"Let's get down to business, when you go to Biansai, you must take me with you, and Princess Ben promises that you will not regret it."
"I'm afraid that my future father-in-law will play the board." Yan Shuangying said a little shakenly.
"Sister Yuqing, brother-in-law, did you really buy birds?"
Passing by the villa restaurant, Zhen'er and Ye Jing were already preparing to go back to the villa, and saw them Zhen'er screaming.
"What brother-in-law?" Ye Jing looked at Yan Shuangying scrutinically and asked.
"Ye Jing, this is my sister's boyfriend, you also know him."
"I know, there are a few people in the imperial city who don't know the Yan Xiaobao Lord of Yanwai Castle, and the name of the Xiaobao Lord is outside. Sister, he doesn't deserve you. Ye Jing said unceremoniously like a little adult.
"Young Master Ye Jing, sometimes what you see and hear is not necessarily the truth of the matter. Don't you trust the lord of this castle or your sister's eyes? ”
"My sister can't be wrong about people, but your reputation is really bad."
"Ye Jing, whether it's good or not is also an appearance. In the future, the two of us will be at the same level, if there is anything that can't be done in the villa, Brother Shuangying will definitely help you. Yuqing, I'll go back on horseback first, these two days are the final arrangements for the Qingqing Festival, and we'll see you on the Qingqing Festival. ”
"Okay, don't forget what I told you."
"Sister Yuqing, what's the matter?" Watching Yan Shuangying ride away on a red horse, Zhen'er asked.
"Jen'er, of course it's your business. In the past two days, we have also been preparing for the Youth Festival. Tomorrow I have to gather a meeting with the girls in the villa. ”
"Sister Yuqing, you are talking about me behind your back."
"Say, yes, Ye Xuan entered the palace and changed the phoenix, and the phoenix also entered the cage of the phoenix. I'm a sister, so I have to help my sister look at an excellent young man. ”
"Sister, Sister Ye Xuan really entered the palace, why can't she think about it so much? Even if it is a phoenix's cage, it is not necessarily a phoenix, and if you regret it as a sparrow, you can't get out. ”
"Ye Jing, how old are you, you are old-fashioned when you speak. Everyone has their own head, and you, Sister Ye Xuan, are willing to stay in a beautiful cage and be a sparrow. ”
"Sister Zhen'er, it is said that it is easy to enter the palace and difficult to get out, I don't know when I will be able to see Sister Ye Xuan again."
At this time, Ye Xuan was being monitored by the grandmother in the palace to learn the rules, and the eldest lady who was originally well educated in the villa was now doing nothing right. The dog emperor dreamed of the screen every night, and looked at Ye Xuan, who was sent to the door, but he was a beast and tossed Ye Xuan, who was a newcomer, to death. Fortunately, after going to court the next day, the dog emperor began to change his temperament again, and he was completely disinterested in women. This made Ye Xuan temporarily free from the clutches of the devil, and after being pampered one day, he was like other women in the harem. Ye Xuan was able to recuperate, but those concubines in the harem didn't want to let her go. So, this lady mentioned something, that lady taught her, and the queen mother did even better, and directly found a nurturing grandmother to train her.
Ye Xuan regretted it, really regretted it. Fortunately, the two palace maids who were bribed by Yuqing's purse and silver still had some conscience and gave her some help. Now one is rubbing her sore calves, and the other is pinching her shoulders.
"Xuan Meiren, you should learn the life when you enter the palace, and you can't let people see what you have in your heart. Being favored is not necessarily a good thing, and how can the love of the heavenly family last for a long time, and only when you get along with everyone can you live a stable life here. ”
"Sister palace maid, thank you for the suggestion."
"Xuan Meiren, don't thank us, you should thank your little owner for the silver. The two of us also take people's money and people to eliminate disasters, and which concubine in the harem does not have a mother's silver behind it. Xuan Meiren, you are in charge of the villa and know that the eunuch who sent the edict still needs to give a few hard-earned money. What's more, this is the palace, what are you doing with the two jujubes. ”
"Huh?" Ye Xuan is not a big smart, there are still some little smarts, and he figured out a lot when he heard about it. The path is your own choice, so you have to go down with tears. But I entered the palace in a hurry, what did I do with the dozens of taels of silver on my body.
"Sister palace maid, how can you get in touch with my mother?" Ye Xuan was ruthless, and asked after taking out a five-silver ticket with the smallest face value.
"Xuan Meiren, this is going to be a little bit of a shopping grandma. Only they have a chance to get out of the palace, and the letter will help you get it, and the rest depends on whether your mother is a sensible person. A palace maid took the silver ticket and said with a smile.
"I've seen enough, the silver rewarded that day was still given by the owner of the small village, your mother only knows how to cry, and she really thinks that she can support her mother's family when she enters the palace, and the whole family can ascend to heaven. It's really a mother who can't carry it, Xuan Meiren, think about it yourself, I really want to boil it here to become a phoenix road. The two palace maids were in a good mood after getting the silver, but they didn't forget to help Ye Xuan spread the news to the villa.
So when Yuqing Zhen'er and Ye Jing returned to the villa, Ye Xuan's mother was already waiting in the villa.
"Third uncle, what's wrong with you?" Jen asked.
"Zhen'er, Yuqing, thank you for the silver you gave to the two palace maids that day, Uncle Niang knew that she was crying that day, and she couldn't think of anything."
"Third uncle, it's just a trivial matter, we have been taking care of the villa with Ye Xuan for so long, she has a good home, and we said that it is sisterhood. The two of us are also Miss Boudoir, and we don't have much money for ourselves, so we just think of it as a dowry for Ye Xuan. Yu said lightly.
"Yuqing, Zhen'er, the shopping grandma in the palace came today, saying that she would come back the day after tomorrow. I don't know what it means, but the third aunt wants to ask the two of you. “
"Huh?" Zhen'er looked at Yuqing, and the two of them didn't speak for a while. In fact, they almost figured it out, it should be Ye Xuan's side that needs silver.
"Third uncle, didn't the purchased grandmother say anything else? I haven't been to the palace once, and I really don't understand what is going on there. Zhen'er asked.
"I haven't said a lot, Yuqing, you've been to the palace, tell your aunt, what does Ye Xuan mean?" The third aunt seems to really don't know.
"Third uncle, every time Yuqing goes to diagnose people, I don't know the rules in the harem, I think it's like our countryside, the new daughter-in-law has to give red envelopes to the younger generation when she enters the door. There are many concubines in the harem, and they should also contact each other. Yuqing pondered the point, and the third aunt changed her face when she heard it.
"It's such a rule, but that's how the palace can be like our country. Which of those concubines is not richer than us, where does I have extra silver as a widow, I originally expected Ye Xuan to take me to live a good life, so I came to guard the old lady's pocket first. It's not what you think. ”
"Alas!" Yuqing and Zhen'er could only sigh deeply.
The next day, all the ladies in the villa who participated in the Qingqing Festival gathered for a meeting. Although they all grew up in a mountain villa, the ladies usually don't have the opportunity to get together at all, and dozens of ladies compete with each other.
"Zhen'er, did you say that each of them embroidered their own face towels?" Seeing that the ladies were all wearing embroidered face towels, he asked.
"Sister Yuqing, you don't even know this. The flowers on the face towel are the marks of a girl's red, and the needlework of the ladies will be preliminarily tested according to the embroidery skills on the face scarf. Your grandma didn't even tell you this. Zhen'er said puzzled. To participate in the Youth Festival, a good-looking face towel is the first consideration.
"Old-fashioned, our master is a princess, the princess can go on a blind date on the Qingqing Festival like an ordinary lady, which of those individuals can be worthy of the princess." The soul pen complained about Zhen'er in his consciousness.
"Yes, mom is a princess, and only a prince can be a princess." The little boy chimed in.
"It's called Niang, it's Niang, it's a princess."
"Don't call it, sister." The two children quarreled again over the title. Yuqing had a headache, and Zhen'er didn't understand: "Sister Yuqing, are you okay, your face towel is not prepared?" It doesn't matter, I'll help you embroider when I go back, although my embroidery skills are not very good, but they are not bad. ”
"No, it's not fun to wear a face toshface, I have a secret weapon. Okay, now let's talk about the festival. Have any of you been to the festival, and tell me some advice for those who haven't been. We went out on behalf of the whole villa, everyone went out safely and came back safely. ”
"Sister Yuqing, now that the owner of the village is Young Master Ye Jing, will you still take us with you?" A young lady asked.
"Of course, I heard the old farmer's wife say that there was an old lady with her in the past. The old ladies in the villa are not in that mood this year, don't worry, Zhen'er and I are with you. ”
"Sister Yuqing, Sister Zhen'er, I went to the Qingqing Festival, and I accompanied my cousin. The face towel that you bring without participating in the blind date is plain, and only the lady who embroiders the flowers is the person who goes on a blind date. The face towel embroidered by the lady herself is in one corner, and the flowers embroidered or bought by others are in the middle. ”
"And that said?" This time, even Zhen'er didn't understand.
"Yes, the flowers embroidered in the corner are the lady's female red, and the embroidery in the middle is whether the lady's family background is solid. Sister Yuqing, Sister Zhen'er, there is a lot of knowledge in this aspect. ”
"Oh, thanks to you, you've been to the Green Festival, and it's the first time we've ever known about it. No wonder when I embroidered a face towel, my mother asked me to embroider a flower on a corner. ”
"Oh no, my face towel was embroidered by my mother, what should I do if my embroidery work is not good."
"Cousin, look at what scares you, it's not a big deal, people look at people and not face towels. I've heard that every time the embroidery workshop goes on a green festival, it recruits some embroiderers among the ladies, and we don't go for that purpose. On a normal day, we can sew and mend it, and the face towel is just the first impression of people, as long as we perform well enough. ”
