Chapter 4: Anne
In the middle of the night, the wine banquet was dispersed, and everyone laughed at the romantic affairs of the flower hall.
When sending off the guests, the red medicine and green tang sisters accompanied Wenhou and his wife to salute.
Wenhou originally wanted to give Miaoyun to the King of Jin.
was stopped by her daughter Wen Hongyao, and she bowed down to King Jin:
"It is a blessing for Miaoyun to be able to serve His Highness. I have been with her for many years and have been sisters for many years, but today I am in a hurry, the friendship of the boudoir has not been discussed, and the makeup is not complete. I beg Your Highness for grace and send Miaoyun to the house tomorrow. β
This is reasonable, and Xiao Yuanhui naturally agrees.
Xiao Yuanhui and Xiao Yuanmu got on the horse in front of the door, and the Wen family stood solemnly at the door to send them off.
Lu Tang raised his head and Xiao Yuanmu's eyes met, his eyes crossed as if he didn't see it, and he smashed the horse forward, and was surrounded by everyone.
With two horses side by side, Xiao Yuanhui groped in his arms to find it.
Xiao Yuanmu pressed the reins, and Xu Xing was careless.
"Brother Jin, what did you leave behind?"
Xiao Yuanhui is looking for embroidered handkerchiefs, light green silk embroidered folded branches and begonias, quiet and fragrant and intoxicating.
As soon as the banquet began, Wen Hongyao quietly handed him the handkerchief, with a soft smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the courtiers have persuaded the second sister Lutang, and she is willing to serve in the back garden. In the future, my sister would like to follow the example of Empress E's daughter Ying and work with Her Royal Highness. β
Xiao Yuanhui was overjoyed and poured wine for her.
"The eldest lady is virtuous and virtuous, and she will be a good wife. The king will play the next month His Majesty to change the marriage contract, and set up the eldest lady as the concubine and Lutang as the concubine. With the two of you by your side, the king's well-being is not shallow. β
"Your Highness, courtier."
The red medicine drank the wine, and his cheeks were flushed beyond the strength of the wine, so he pretended to be drunk and shy: "Your Highness can't go over, don't let the second sister wait in a hurry." β
Since ancient times, it was the most difficult to accept the grace of beauties, Xiao Yuanhui seemed to hug left and right, and said with a low smile: "The eldest lady is so kind, how can this king be willing to give you away?" β
Wen Hongyao pushed him with a red face: "Your Highness, the courtiers only ask you not to forget today's kindness." β
Xiao Yuanhui saw that no one cared left and right, and got up and left the table.
"Your Highness?" Hongyao dragged his sleeve, looked up at the tears, and whispered shyly: "Lutang is young and doesn't know what to do, Your Highness must cherish her ......"
At this point, Hongyao couldn't continue, and lowered his head in shame and twisted his fingers.
Xiao Yuanhui was drunk, and he had no scruples, leaning over and laughing, "Don't worry about her." On the day of the wedding, this king will cherish you and will beat her a hundred times! β
"Your Highness, don't say anything about indecency!" Hongyao covered his face with his sleeve and smiled shyly.
Xiao Yuanhui turned the screen and went to the back garden.
They whispered at the banquet as if there was no one around, Xiao Yuanmu was deaf and clear-sighted, and looked at it lightly.
"Where is Brother Wang?"
"This king is drunk and escapes, you perfunctory Marquis Wen for a while!"
Xiao Yuanmu passed by him and picked up the embroidered handkerchief that fell from his sleeve.
He quietly followed to the flower hall, and saw Wen Lutang jumping out of the window with the maid, and almost fell into the water in his eagerness.
The banquet in the Hou Mansion was really lively.
At the banquet, King Jin and his fiancΓ©e's cousin discussed adultery. In the garden, Wen Lutang seduced the prospective uncle to dedicate himself on the spot.
This fiancΓ© is simply the most shameless in the world!
Xiao Yuanmu held Lutang's handkerchief, feeling sick to his stomach.
The love of poison treatment must be repaid. He sneered and threw the handkerchief to his henchman, the chief historian.
The two princes both had rewards for the young lady of the Hou Mansion.
"King Qi rewarded the wood carvings of Beiguan." Su Su opened the brocade box and displayed it.
Lu Tang looked at the wood carving dexterous knife work, and caught a glimpse of the embroidered handkerchief tiled in the brocade box.
The pale green silk embroidered folded branches and begonias are exactly the one you are looking for!
"How can it be in the brocade box of King Qi's reward?"
Su Su grabbed it and sent it to the young lady.
At first glance, the embroidered handkerchief looks a little stained, but on closer inspection, it is two words of charcoal dragon flying phoenix dance:
"Two clearings".
The pen is strong and powerful, it must be Xiao Yuanmu's handwriting!
Lu Tang clenched his handkerchief and held his forehead with a wry smile: "Our actions King Qi has seen it." The embroidered handkerchief was held by him, no wonder he couldn't find it. β
Su Su was puzzled: "Will he tell King Jin?" β
"No, it won't. If I break the poison of slow medicine, he will suspect that King Jin intends to harm him. He knew that I had a marriage contract with the King of Jin, and he also returned the handkerchief to protect my name, indicating that he expected that I and the King of Jin were not of the same mind. β
The meaning of "two clears" on the handkerchief is that I don't want to get involved. He only saw his daughter's family stirring up trouble, but he didn't know what our purpose was, so he would just sit and watch the show. β
The lights and candles are clear and shining, and Lutang's words are clear.
"Miss is not the same as yesterday, is something wrong?"
Su Su sat on the pedal, holding her face and looking up at her, her cheeks flushed.
"It's not just like yesterday, it's like it's different from previous years."
The candle flame danced and dyed his eyes, and the fire ignited in Lutang's eyes.
"We have suffered a lot of humiliation and grievances, and we all blame me for being cowardly and incompetent. If this chaos continues, the wicked will become more and more rampant, and my fate will become worse and worse. It's better to fight hard, destroy the enemy, and live a free life! β
"The enemy is the eldest lady, she framed you! There is also King Jin, a wolf-hearted beast with a dog's lungs, who wants to insult Miss Rude regardless of the marriage contract! β
Su Su gritted her teeth with hatred.
"It's not just them, but the Wen family." Lutang said softly.
"Which one?"
"Every single one!"
The oath of her previous life has not been forgotten, and she will not let go of everyone in the Wen family!
"From today onwards, I will plan carefully and take every step of the way. What a marquis is rich and noble, a royal marriage contract, and a blood relative. They don't pay attention to anything they use to pinch me. I don't share the sky with them! β
"There are a lot of enemies." Su Su shuddered.
"I'm not sorry if you're afraid, I'll let you go when I have the chance." Lu Tang touched Su Su's furry bun lovingly.
"I won't leave, I've been waiting for the day when Miss takes revenge!"
Su Su grimaced, revealing two pointed tiger teeth.
Lutang pondered, recalling this not-so-successful layout.
King Jin fainted in the flower hall. Miaoyun was drawn out of the banquet and carried upside down on the flower couch with hemp boiling.
Su Su Miao was empty-handed, stealing the golden hairpin of red medicine at the banquet. Lutang cut off the note and painted it with red peony.
In this way, it was like Miaoyun interceding for the eldest lady, and as a result, the matchmaker prying Miss Yingying's date in the West Chamber.
It's a pity that the hasty arrangement didn't play a big role, and only one of Wen Hongyao's maids was eliminated.
Miaoyun is Wen Hongyao's minions, and he is not under the master.
Now forcing Miaoyun to go to the Jin Palace, it is only a temporary separation, and if this matter is talked about in the future, maybe it will become a link between the Hou Mansion and the Wangfu.
In this way, it is simply a thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred self-losses, and no substantial benefits have been obtained.
Lutang asked Su Su to put away the handkerchief, and instructed that personal belongings must be rigorous, and no more opportunities can be taken advantage of.
"In our hospital, the one who can go into the lady's room to get something must be Zhang Xiaoniang. In the past few days, Zhang Xiaoniang has always asked the third lady to run to the eldest lady's courtyard, and they must have taken the veil! β
Su Su said angrily.
In addition to the green begonia, the two-bedroom courtyard also lives the mother-in-law Zhang Xiaoniang and the sister-in-law Ziqian.
Lu Tang thought that they were only won over by Wen Hongyao before they died. Looking at it now, this mother and daughter are not of the same heart for a long time.
The traps in their previous lives were mostly the result of their backstabs!
Rather than attacking a strong enemy, it is better to level the thieves first, and if the loopholes around you are not filled, you will definitely suffer from the enemy in the future.
Lutang's eyes suddenly brightened!
Before I could think about it, Zhang Xiaoniang's voice came from outside the house.
She staggered over, sat down on the opposite side, covered her mouth and coughed, and kept honking.
"I want to take time to take care of my body, but you sisters don't make people worry! Today's banquet at the house, the girl offended the eldest lady. I was almost scared to death, so I hurriedly asked Ziqian to apologize to others. β
"The girl has a marriage contract with the prince of Jin. King Jin wants someone to serve, and you should be in a hurry, how did you let Miaoyun come out on top? You can't get your own masters, who doesn't laugh at you? β
"My illness is not good, I have been anxious for you for a long time, and it is much worse! I want to use some good medicine to eat, but I don't have the money! The eldest lady was kind and said that she would send Lang Zhong to take a look at it in the future. β
She saw that it was not early, and hurriedly shouted outside the room: "Put the supper on and eat together!" β
The family rules of Wenhou Mansion are strict, and the clothes and diets of Lutang and Ziqian are worshiped according to the master's lady, but Zhang Xiaoniang is a concubine.
She relied on Lutang's kindness and cowardice, no matter the monthly routine, clothing or diet, she had to take advantage of it.
The mother-in-law put the supper out and invited the young lady to eat, and Su Su stood behind her to make dishes.
Zhang Xiaoniang sat on the top, first raised the chopstick, and chattered that the dishes were not good.
Revenge is about to begin, just take Zhang Xiaoniang's first sacrificial flag!
"What kind of rule is this?" Lu Tang didn't move his chopsticks, his eyes slightly opened and his tone was solemn, "Have you raised a wild man in the second courtyard?" Before I could sit down, the minion fell on the table! β
The mothers-in-law only knew that Lutang was weak, and for some reason they suddenly became difficult, and no one answered for a while.
Su Su asked angrily: "Which tablet is the little lady on, and dare to sit on the top of Miss Yan?" Have you never eaten, or have you never been beaten? β
Zhang Xiaoniang was immediately stunned. She held her own mother, bullied Lutang young, and took it for many years, but she didn't expect her to suddenly be hard, and only after a while did she scold her chopsticks:
"No conscience girl! Since the death of the second master and the second wife, who raised you as an adult? I'm an elder, let the little girl scold me? β
The ebony silver chopsticks jingled and flew far away.
Lu Tang sneered: "Just remember my parents." When they were alive, you were just a concubine, and now you should be content with food and clothing. I persuaded the little lady not to make trouble, and made people laugh at the second room for not being respectful. β
Zhang Xiaoniang opened her mouth and blushed, and she wanted to scold, but she was persuaded by her mother-in-law.
Lu Tang immediately ordered: "The little lady is not in good health, won't the eldest lady send Langzhong to see you tomorrow?" Send two people to send her back to her room, and don't go out again! β
The mothers-in-law didn't dare to say much when they saw Lutang's face, and dragged Zhang Xiaoniang away half-pull and half-persuade.
As soon as she arrived in the courtyard, Su Su lifted the curtain and came out, pointing at everyone with a small face.
"We are all people in the second room, and the second master and the second lady have received kindness in the world. Don't always think that the master is easy to handle. The second lady is a coquette, she is in a hurry, and we have no place to die! β
The mother-in-law hurriedly laughed and said: "Miss Susu is joking, the second lady is golden and noble, how dare the people below slack off?" It's Zhang Xiaoniang who is confused, please don't wronged us. β
"It's good to know, hugging your own master is the right way, and crooked ways are useless."
After Su Su finished speaking, he threw out a bag of broken silver in his hand.
"Originally, Zhang Xiaoniang was in charge of the accounts, and everyone was not happy. The accounts in our yard are shared, and the second lady will take them. Everyone must be attentive to their work, and no one should suffer! β
This bag of silver was originally Zhang Xiaoniang's self-body for many years, and it was taken out by Lutang and distributed to others, how could she not be in a hurry when she stared at it?
The mothers-in-law and the sons were all fine, and when they saw the white flowers and silver, they felt that the second lady's behavior was not like child's play, so they competed to take the lead, pulled Zhang Xiaoniang strongly, covered her mouth and carried it back to the room.
Money can make ghosts grind, but a few taels of silver have been sprinkled, and some people have come to take refuge.
The mother-in-law in charge of purchasing in the courtyard came to report in the middle of the night.
"Second Miss Hui, Miss Miaoyun was beaten to death by the eldest lady!"
