Chapter 21: Rebellion in the House
The things in the second room were moved to the West Garden, and they were moved to the palm lamp from noon.
Ling'er took the abacus and account books to check, and quickly counted the total number for Lutang to see.
This big fuss is really tiring and panicked. Lutang ate more for dinner to relieve his fatigue.
The parents' property is finally caged in front of them, although they can't be taken away for a while.
The happiest thing today is to tear apart the hypocrisy of the greedy thieves of Wenhou and his wife, and they are suspicious and insulting each other.
In the evening, Liu hurried over, patted his chest and gasped: "Today is really scary. Thankfully, I didn't tell the story of my pregnancy in public. The eldest lady dared to beat Aunt Bo's fetus in front of the Hou Ye! ”
Bo was not pregnant, and Lutang had secretly touched her pulse.
"Aunt Bo had a miscarriage?" She feigned doubts.
"Yes! The midwife and the doctor came, saying that the one-month-old fetus was gone, and the doctor prescribed some medicine to keep her body. The old man guarded her every step of the way. ”
Liu was obviously blinded by this drama and gloated.
"If it's gone, it's gone, my aunt is good to take care of."
Lutang drank tea, but admired the young Bo a little, seeing that she was just a vulgar woman, but she didn't expect that her scheming was quite deep.
"Yes, I don't dare to say anything, so I'll wait for the child to give birth before making plans." Liu Shi spoke, hesitantly looking at Lutang.
Of course, Lutang knew her intentions, and Ming Susu took a delicate luodian brocade box with four layers of jewelry.
A pair of red gold eight treasure collars, a pair of gold inlaid jade bracelets, a red gold dotted emerald head, and two purple gold inlaid pearl jewels.
Liu's eyes lit up, holding the brocade box in his hand, and he excused himself in his mouth: "How can these valuable things be made?" ”
"This is for my future brother." Lu Tang gently pushed the box to her, "Auntie will collect it for him first." In the future, my brother will be raised, and I will have to rely on him to take care of me as an older sister. ”
"Yes, the eldest sister is like a mother, and I will also let him be filial to my sister!"
The brocade box was too big and inconvenient to hold, so Ling'er found two jade-colored silk wraps to help her wrap them.
"Second Miss, I'll go back first." Liu was thankful and left.
Ling'er looked at her back, turned around and smiled: "Aunt Liu is also interesting." The child has only been pregnant for two months, and the man and woman don't know it yet. was born as a boy, and there were three calamities, and there were 10,000 in case. She's jumping up and down so early, as for it? ”
Watching people scolding the street all day long, Lutang felt that his brain was buzzing, so he spread his hair, massaged his scalp with a wooden comb, and said with a smile:
"Aunt Wenhou Bafang, no one else can conceive, why is she so capable? Isn't it because she thought about it a lot earlier? It's better to be with smart people than to talk to stupid people. ”
"Could it be that the second lady really wants to pass on her stepbrother and give the family property of the second master and the second lady to outsiders?" Ling'er held the account book, and her little brows were twisted.
Lu Tang combed his long hair and said lightly: "Although the thing is in front of me, it is not mine after all." Since everyone is red-eyed, then no one should take it. It's too early for the child to grow up, and there are a lot of variables in the middle, let's see! ”
"That's good!" Ling'er knocked on the abacus beads and smiled proudly.
"Second Miss! There's a joke on the big side again! Su Su ran in in a hurry, poured a cup of tea first, and then said: "Today, the eldest lady and the third lady go to the Jin Wangfu for a cruise." As soon as she entered the yard, the eldest lady beat the third lady, and the third lady cried and cried for death and life. ”
The garden of the Jin Wangfu is the original Ningshunfang expansion, leading the Luoxi water outside the city into the inside, digging the pond to make the lake can pass through the boat. The pavilions and pavilions in the garden are exquisite and gorgeous, comparable to the palace, and there are many exotic flowers and plants, gorgeous and colorful.
The transcript of the revision of the marriage contract has not yet been approved, and Xiao Yuanhui is also using public opinion to put pressure on the palace.
He invited the family members of the clan to cruise the ship, and specially invited Wen Hongyao to let the nobles in the capital know the future princess of Jin.
On such occasions, Wen Hongyao was accustomed to the stars holding the moon, dressed up in beautiful clothes, and boarded the ship hand in hand with the King of Jin, sitting side by side on the highest position, and was proud of himself.
Ziqian didn't dare to steal her limelight, and deliberately wore a lilac tulle skirt, with a delicate purple grape-colored arm, delicate and elegant like a small jasper, standing behind her.
The clothes are fragrant and the sideburns are full of laughter, and the guests and hosts are happy on the lake cruise.
At the luncheon, Xiao Yuanhui specially arranged for the flowing water, and the sons and beauties chanted poems and couplets, and threw pots to drink for fun.
Wenhong Medicine loves to be lively, and the pot throwing game is the most familiar. The banquet is because she is the future princess, how can there be no one who does not cheer?
Xiao Yuanhui tried his best to coax her again, smiling and smiling.
The banquet was held in the afternoon, the lake pavilion sang and danced, the small cups at the banquet were replaced with large cups, and everyone made a fist and ordered to drink, and gradually let go of the wreckage.
Xiao Yuanhui saw that Wen Hongyao was playing energetically, and said that he would change his clothes and leave the table. Zi Qian's sharp eyes hurriedly followed.
In the small hugging building in the side hall of the garden, Ziqian followed the maid and servant into the door, knelt in front of him and served Xiao Yuanhui with his own hands.
Seeing that she was so attentive, Xiao Yuanhui brushed his fingers on his chin, and said lightly: "It's good to let the maid do this kind of thing, this king can't bear it." ”
Ziqian raised her head and pleaded in a coquettish voice: "It is the blessing of Ziqian to serve His Highness, and he can be His Highness's slave and maid, Ziqian can't ask for it." ”
Xiao Yuanhui looked down and saw that her wrists were like snow, her cheeks were like flowers, her hair was like green clouds, and her body was like Jiaorui, and her mind had already moved.
I saw her thin clothes and light veils and snow skin slightly exposed, kneeling in front of her knees to despise herself, and her mouth was full of soft words. Suddenly remembered the day before yesterday, the frivolous and delicate white jade person, and couldn't help but burn in the belly.
"I am fortunate to be favored by His Royal Highness, and the courtiers miss it day and night, and I only hope for ......"
Ziqian's voice became lower and lower, and Xiao Yuanhui didn't care about anything else, and dragged the person up against the door.
The man was like a wolf and a tiger, and he didn't know how to pity the jade, and he tore the light Luo shirt to shreds in three or two, venting his anger arbitrarily.
“…… Your Highness...... There are a lot of people outside...... Spare the courtiers......"
Zi Qian's eyes were teasing Xiao Yuanhui all day long, waiting for this time. At this moment, I just want to turn into a worm and burrow into it to please him.
When she was so affectionate, she didn't forget to pull Wen Hongyao.
"Your Highness is so fortunate to be a courtier...... I'm afraid that the big sister will be unhappy......"
Xiao Yuanhui's face was ruthless, and he smiled evilly: "Your sister is virtuous, how can she be unhappy?" ”
“…… Sister is virtuous...... Courtiers are inferior to ...... The courtiers only ask for ...... Your Highness has a lot of mercy ......"
She didn't dare to shout loudly, but this whispering could tempt people's hearts even more.
Xiao Yuanhui ignored the delicate nature of the white jade people, and laughed loudly: "This king likes you to be gentle and sensible, and he will spoil you more!" ”
After saying this, it was another fierce wind and wildfire, and the purple coriander was at the mercy of frost flowers and weeds.
The small hugging building is narrow and cramped, only allowing one or two people to sit up, and the blue yarn cabinet is partitioned outside.
Zi Qian leaned against the wooden partition, shook and squeaked, blushing and did not dare to struggle, so she could only be soft and patient, panting again and again.
After a cloud and rain, her aggrieved tears drooped: "The courtiers are lowly people, and they can't afford the word 'like' of His Royal Highness...... As long as His Highness rejoices......"
After the arbitrariness, Xiao Yuanhui sat on a wooden chair and dressed himself.
Zi Qian couldn't be ashamed, and knelt down in front of his knees to tie his robe and tie it.
This attitude of being a little low, not to mention the slightest shame, but it makes people feel some pity.
Xiao Yuanhui smiled contentedly, looking down at the white jade man with unkempt hair in front of his knees.
She was cowardly and aggrieved, and her tears only dared to hide in her eyes: "The courtiers are lowly people, but the body is clean and clean for His Highness, I ask His Highness to protect the courtiers and daughters to be thoughtful." ”
She deliberately emphasized "clean and clean", as if to mean something.
Xiao Yuanhui understood what he meant, sat on his lap hand in hand, combed her sideburns, and whispered in his ear: "You are an innocent daughter, this king knows that he will live up to you after entering the mansion." ”
"Your Highness...... Don't ......"
His hand touched the place where he shouldn't go, and Ziqian was so ashamed that his whole body was red.
The man picked him up, turned around and walked out of the hug.
There were many maids and servants serving in the wing room outside, and they were silently scattered at this moment.
The wing room is furnished with bookcases, and it is usually used as an inner study. Xiao Yuanhui swept his sleeves, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones were scattered all over the place.
Ziqian felt ashamed at this time, and hurriedly covered her face with her jade hand, and was displayed on the bookcase.
Xiao Yuanhui has not gone out since then, from the afternoon to the palm lamp, the two indulged here for half a day.
Ziqian was shy and didn't dare to speak out at first, but later she was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but scream, and everyone who called out knew it.
Xiao Yuanhui didn't care about it, and laughed endlessly.
Although the visitors did not dare to speak, they all knew it and were discussing it in private. Looking at Wen Hongyao's eyes, it was also complicated, mostly sneering and sarcastic.
It wasn't until the evening that Ziqian hurried back to the banquet.
Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was fluffy, and her face was covered with makeup. Only the two cheeks are fiery red and the lips are slightly swollen, and the eyes are indescribably charming, and the spring color is attractive all over the body.
Wen Hong's whole body trembled, and he couldn't even speak when the guests were around.
Xiao Yuanhui then walked over, toasted and sent off the guests, still personable and brilliant.
The guests dispersed, leaving only the two daughters on the boat. He put the new wine on the table again, and personally poured the red medicine to persuade him to drink. The mouth is full of dear words, and she is rewarded with a pair of extremely valuable night pearls.
After these two times, Wen Hongyao couldn't bear it anymore, weighed it for a long time, and reluctantly smiled: "Your Royal Highness is gracious, and the courtiers and sisters are ashamed." There is a sentence that the courtiers have to say, the third sister Ziqian ......"
Xiao Yuanhui gently covered her lips and chuckled: "This king knows everything." Your two sisters of this king are together, and you have no regrets in this life. After that, he hugged Ziqian's shoulder, "Ziqian is young, you can let her be more." ”
After that, he ordered someone to prepare ten boxes of various colors of brocade yarn to reward Ziqian, and said softly: "Let my sister make some bright clothes for you, and my daughter's family should not wear too plain."
Ziqian immediately knelt down on both knees, deeply thanking His Royal Highness King Jin for his kindness.
Wen Hongyao's face turned pale in an instant, and he cried all the way on the carriage home.
The two of them entered the mansion, how could they still endure it?
Wen Hongyao was about to fill the box with Ayaluo's scissors, and threw them on Ziqian's face one by one, crying and scolding "little sluts" and "rotten adulteresses", not caring about the identity of Miss Qianjin.
Ziqian was still low, kneeling in front of her and crying bitterly, pointing to the heavens and saying that Xiao Yuanhui forced her to serve the pillow.
has been scolded for a long time, and he has been hit headfirst in his arms, rubbed with tears and snot all over his body, looking for death and refusing to stop.
In the end, it was Miao Tong and Cai Ping who dragged the two back to the room.
Lutang listened to Su Su talk about it before he fell asleep, and couldn't help laughing: "The eldest lady is only angry about this matter, and she doesn't know about today's big things in the family." If you know, you will be even more angry! ”
Early in the morning of the second day, Wen Hongyao recuperated his spirits and prepared to find trouble with purple coriander again.
But an old lady in the inner house came to tell her that the old man of the clan came to the mansion yesterday to break the marriage, Lutang carried the family property, and the Wenhou couple added fuel and vinegar to the disputes over the little aunt's pregnancy.
Wen Hongyao jumped three feet high, and was about to take someone out to make trouble. Who knew that the Jin Wangfu sent someone to give gifts.
The gift is a copy of the eldest lady and the third lady, and the post is indeed given to Ziqian alone, only to let the third lady come to the house tomorrow, not to mention what it is for.
Ziqian was overjoyed when she heard it, and held the post in general after receiving the holy decree, and asked the maid to cook tea and put snacks in a panic to entertain the person who sent the post.
She also deliberately shouted to Wen Hongyao: "The courtier's eyes are swollen from crying, how can I see His Highness tomorrow?" It worries His Highness! ”
Wen Hong's medicinal willow eyebrows were upside down, and his heart was numb with hatred.
Ignoring Ziqian, she hurried to her mother's room and asked about the family.
I heard that my father was so ruthless, and I was angry that I wanted to go to my aunt's courtyard to reason with me, but who knew that someone would come first.
said that Aunt Bo was weak in childbirth, and she wanted to open a small kitchen to make medicinal food to replenish her body. The person who came took Wenhou's words as a holy decree and took away the key to the house that was in charge of the main house.
After a while, the second aunt came to ask for peace in person, and she wanted to take care of Xiao Shizi in two words.
Mrs. Wenhou and Wen Hongyao scolded and refused, who knew that they had a backhand. immediately called Mr. Teaching from the outer study, pointed out that the son should be enrolled, and ordered the maid to take the child away.
Wen Hongyao's mother and daughter looked at each other, and they both felt that the sky had fallen and there was no way out, so they couldn't help but cry.
This time, they entered the wolf in the front yard and the tiger in the back yard, and they couldn't move even a few hands.
There was civil strife in the big house, and she couldn't care about Lutang, she watched coldly in the West Garden, and couldn't help but be secretly happy.
The weather is getting hotter, the leaves are quiet and windless, and the flowers and plants in the medicine garden are fragrant.
The green begonia rummaged in the medicine basket to check, and the green begonias that failed the day before yesterday had been dried after being picked.
In the shade under the porch, she carefully cut off the green begonia stamens with embroidery scissors.
Clusters of pale green pollen are extremely cute in the mortar.
Flipping through her mother's pharmaceutical records, she added other medicinal herbs one by one and prepared them for baking.
"Second Miss, what kind of medicine is this?" Su Su bent over and asked with a betel nut in her mouth.
"Deadly medicine!"
Lutang made a grimace and smiled like a bright spring flower.
