Chapter 5: Planning

Lu Tang had already fallen asleep, picked up the curtain and asked softly: "How do you know?" ”

The mother-in-law knelt on the ground with a frightened face: "Zhang Xiaoniang asked the old slave to go over there to find the third lady, and I saw it at the door." ”

"The flesh and blood of the people beaten are blurred, the white ash is gagged, the straw mat is wrapped, and it is carried out from the corner gate!"

She actually beat Miaoyun to death.

has been a confidant since she was a child, and how many secret things have she done. Wouldn't it be self-cutting off your arm to be ruthless for the sake of romance? How to explain the Jin Palace?

Although Wen Hongyao is ruthless, how could he do such a brainless thing!

Lu Tang gave her five taels of silver and continued to gossip.

"I can't complain that the Hou Mansion will only be face-saluting, and the things it does are enough to see. What kind of system is it in the young lady's room! ”

The mother-in-law thanked her for her kindness and kowtowed: "How can they be like the second lady, they have been bodhisattvas since they were children!" ”

Lutang yawned, his eyes a little sharp.

"Zhang Xiaoniang always runs around with the third lady, and you don't persuade her. People don't look down on Ziqian Shu, and they rush to beg for scolding. ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly whispered: "It's hard for our people to stop us." But this time I'm afraid it scared them. ”

"She saw that, too?"

The third lady even tripped over her shoes, and went back to the room and muttered to her mother that she hadn't slept in the middle of the night. The old slave thought that the two of them must have been frightened. ”

Sending the mother-in-law out, Lutang and Su Su thought about it under the quilt.

"The eldest lady wants to marry the king of Jin and eat Miaoyun's vinegar, so she beats people to death." Su Su guessed.

Lu Tang shook his head slowly: "When Miaoyun entered, King Jin was already asleep and was not really pampered. Wen Hongyao knew that we were at our mercy in the first trial. If Miaoyun goes to the palace to tell me clearly, the king of Jin will only complain about me for messing around, and he will be closer to Wen Hongyao. ”

"Once you kill Miaoyun, you can't tell you anything. King Jin will blame Wen Hongyao for failing to do the game and being jealous, so she really suffers a dumb loss. ”

"Then why did she kill people?" Su Su pondered.

"I guess Miaoyun knows the secret of Wen Hongyao, but he can't let His Royal Highness the King of Jin know, so he will kill him."

But what is the secret?

The master and servant were extremely sleepy, and they couldn't think of a reason for the time being, so they fell asleep in a daze.

In the courtyard of the Jin Palace, which was silent in the middle of the night, Xiao Yuanmu, the king of Qi, was talking with his henchman Shi Wei Chi Feng all night.

"This king has agreed with Brother Jin to move back to his mansion next month."

"Yes. Although Liang Yuan is not a long-term love family, not to mention that the Jin Palace's mansion is in danger everywhere. For the sake of His Royal Highness's safety, although our palace is dilapidated, it is well guarded. ”

Xiao Yuanmu, the king of Qi, has been a proton in Beiyan since he was a child, and then he has been on the border for many years, and the palace of the king of Qi in Beijing has been in disrepair for more than ten years.

Half of the rush repair is about to move in, which is related to the slow poison in his body.

"It's a shame for my brother Wang, so calm down."

The royal brothers killed each other, and when he returned to Beijing for a month, Brother Wang couldn't wait to start.

Thanks to Xiao Yuanmu, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he has practiced some calm skills.

"His Royal Highness only received the title of prince when he returned to Beijing, and the king of Jin was so ruthless. If His Highness has a real position, doesn't he want it? ”

Chang Shi Wei Chi Feng was worried.

Xiao Yuanmu sneered disdainfully: "Tomorrow, you go out of the city and relocate the twelve battalions of the Xuanjia Army brought by this king to Jiugong Mountain in the northern suburbs!" ”

"There is the fief of King Jin, and His Royal Highness suddenly suppressed Brother Wang, just afraid that His Majesty will reproach."

"Jiugong Mountain is a pass stationed in the Jingshi, and it has always been in the hands of the King of Jin, and His Majesty has long been dissatisfied. Your Majesty will not reproach me for anything I do now. ”

"Yes!"

As they spoke, the guards entered the door with pots. Yu Chifeng personally tasted it and handed over the medicine bowl.

"Your Highness's slow poison has disappeared a lot, it seems that Miss Wen's prescription is fine."

Xiao Yuanmu reclined on the couch and pondered, deep and steady, not like a reckless man in front of people.

Brother Jin was jealous of him and resorted to insidious tricks, which he had expected.

But the future princess Wen Lutang stepped in sideways, but he was quite uncertain.

Could it be that she found out that her marriage contract was uncertain and wanted to find another way?

"The subordinates found out that the King of Jin intends to marry the eldest lady of the Wen family, and the Marquis Wen agreed, but His Majesty is still hesitating." Chang Shi Wei Chi Feng asked tentatively: "Since Miss Wen Er is showing favor, her subordinates will send someone to contact her?" ”

Xiao Yuanmu stopped: "No need. This girl is unpredictable. It's better for us to provoke her less. ”

"Subordinates obey!" Wei Chifeng bowed and retired.

Xiao Yuanmu rested with his eyes half-closed.

The delicate appearance of the green begonia resurfaced in front of me.

Miaoren'er is naturally affectionate, soft and fragrant Wenyu leans in her arms, and the words of the warbler and swallow still linger in the ears:

"Your Highness wants, and the courtiers give what you want......"

"Your Highness wants my body, and the courtiers are willing to offer ......"

"This place is full of heaven and earth, how much pity does Your Highness have......"

Xiao Yuan Mujue's heart was a mess, and he was still messy with the cuts.

Wenhou is the minion of the king of Jin, and everyone knows it all over the world.

Bai Ri was sober, and he knew that he must not be involved with the daughter of the Wen family.

But in the dream, he couldn't help himself, and he didn't know how many times he had been with this girl!

In the dream, he clasped his delicate waist with both hands, and the tiger gnawed at the white and fragile neck like a cage, and he was drunk all night.

But after waking up, the cold couch around him, the arms were empty, only Xiao Xiao and the moonlight were desolate.

Xiao Yuanmu frowned, he didn't dare to think about it anymore. I'm afraid that she won't stop screaming in her dreams, and she won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

This night, Lutang had no dreams and slept well.

In the early morning, the eldest lady Wen Hongyao sent Lang Zhong to see Zhang Xiaoniang.

Lutang was deliberately on the side, and Lang Zhong couldn't diagnose anything wrong for a long time, so he had to prescribe some prescriptions to nourish the lungs and relieve cough.

Zhang Xiaoniang patted the bed as a demon, scolded Lutang for having no conscience and unfilial piety, and clamored to cry in front of the second master and second lady.

Lutang asked people to grab the medicine decoction, and couldn't help but say that he poured it on her.

"Xiao Niang can rest assured to take medicine, don't wait for you to go, they will come to see you at night."

She didn't hesitate anymore, and added a good medicine for asthma to the decoction with her backhand: "Heavenly Fairy".

If you take too much of this thing, it can make mortals faint and dreamy.

After taking three doses of medicine a day, Zhang Xiaoniang's illness was really much better. Not only did he not cough, but he even spoke less.

personally cooked medicine for her mother-in-law, and people said that the second lady was filial and filial, and they were full of praise.

Sincerely kind, no one cares about watching the excitement. The performance was good, and they all applauded.

The grass on the wall followed the strong wind, and the wind of the green begonia was slightly harder, and the weeds were hula and turned upside down.

"The little lady is sick, and the second lady is in charge of the housekeeping in our hospital."

"Miss is naturally in charge, but it's a pity that there are not enough people."

There are few servants in the small courtyard, and they have been controlled by Zhang Xiaoniang for many years, so Lutang must transfer another loyal servant to take over.

The only person who can be trusted, except for Su Su, is only the old servant in the second room who followed his parents back then.

She made up her mind to go to the main house of the Hou Mansion, and it was time to say hello to her uncle and aunt.

Mrs. Wenhou and Hongyao are in the main room.

Miaoyun died, Wen Hongyao chose another beautiful maid, renamed "Miaoyun" and sent to the palace.

She was talking to her mother about it. The eldest lady treats the people around her as if she were even a dog.

After the ceremony was completed, Lutang took the lead in mentioning two family matters.

In the first case, Zhang Xiaoniang was seriously ill, and the accounts of the second room were to be managed by Lutang himself.

Second, there are not enough servants in the small courtyard, so the old servants in the original second room must be transferred back to supplement them.

didn't wait for her mother to speak, Wen Hongyao said mockingly: "The second sister wants to be in charge of the house before she leaves the cabinet, and is she in a hurry to save a dowry?" ”

Lu Tang smiled nonchalantly: "Since the death of my parents, there are only two less masters, and one or two hundred fewer servants. ”

"Now I have to make my own tea and needlework, and in a few days, I am afraid that I will have to carry water and firewood. If you go on like this, let alone save a dowry, you may not be able to live until the day you leave the cabinet. ”

Mrs. Wenhou frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Lutang, I see you steady on weekdays, how can you talk nonsense!" ”

Lu Tang smiled coquettishly: "My niece and my eldest sister are telling jokes, why is my aunt worried?" ”

Mrs. Wenhou said: "Your little lady is sick, and the girl's housekeeper is not in accordance with the rules. Do you see how the big sister used to take care of the housework? Wait until I send a grandmother to take care of it for you. ”

Sending her roommate, wouldn't it lead the wolf into the house?

Lu Tang said with a smile: "Big sister doesn't care about home, because she has her mother in the hall." said that the young lady's housekeeper did not conform to the rules, did the slave housekeeper become a rule? ”

"Auntie, don't blame me for being frivolous. If I am allowed to earn a living under the hands of slaves, I will take my sister to death and reason with my parents! ”

Mrs. Wenhou blushed with anger and slammed the teacup.

"You're talking to an elder?"

Lutang is full of smiles, but his eyes are like ice:

"If your niece can't say a word, you'll be in a hurry. It is right for me to be wronged in front of my aunt, but I can't look at the eyes of my slave. If the aunt is unable to be the master, invite the uncle out and talk about it. ”

Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Marquis Wen came from behind the screen. He listened for a long time, his brows furrowed.

"Why is the second girl aggressive, there is no trace of everyone's demeanor!"

Yesterday, Lutang cried all the way, and the people in the house whispered, saying that Wenhou and his wife bullied the orphan girl.

This morning, this story spread all over the city.

Wen Hou heard several groups of colleagues talking.

Hou Mansion banquet guests, the contrast between the two rooms is too obvious, how can people gossip?

There are no children in the second room to inherit only daughters, and Wenhou thinks that it is natural for his uncle to be in charge of the family property.

But his arrogant and spine-piercing gossip must not be left unattended.

"Uncle, niece is telling a joke, isn't it just a few taels of silver and a few more servants, it's not a big deal!"

Lutang seemed to be smiling but not smiling, pretending to be mocking.

Wen Hou frowned and reproached: "Our Hou Mansion is the first-class family of the Jingshi. Miss's family fights for the month and the servant, what kind of system does it become! ”

Lu Tang sneered and hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

"I didn't ask for my mother's dowry, I didn't ask for my ancestral mansion, and I didn't ask for my father's property. I can't even fight for pocket money, so can I wait for my stepbrother to fight for me? ”

Wenhou and his wife are not looking good anymore.

It seems that these words went straight to the tip of the hearts of his husband and wife. Lutang decided to add another fire.

"Uncle and aunt only have one brother under their knees. If you want me to say, if the uncle has a son, no matter the concubine, he will inherit the incense in the second room, then it is a good thing to be in accordance with the rules! ”

Wen Hou was a little embarrassed, but her wife's face suddenly darkened.

She is the younger sister of Prime Minister Da Liang, and her background is very noble. Since she got married, she has been strict in governing the family. Wenhou concubines served in eight rooms, and no half of the concubines were born.

Now that she is over forty years old, it is difficult for her to have children. If the concubine knows that she can inherit the second family property if she has a child, she doesn't know what will happen!

"That's what the girl's family should say?"

Wen Hou frowned, unwilling to continue arguing, for fear of annoying his wife.

"That's it! Take care of the rules in your own courtyard, and then call a few of the old servants in your second room, and stop from now on! ”

"Thank you, aunt and uncle!"

Lu Tang's face was happy, and he sneered in his heart.

You won't let you open a small window, and you're going to lift the roof!

Lutang reached his goal and turned to retreat, and suddenly saw Wen Hongyao, who had exquisite and beautiful makeup, and his sneering smile grew.

If Lutang guessed correctly, Wen Hongyao has already started a new plan!
