Raising husband in Zhai Douwen
Chapter 42 The Lantern
After Bai Zhi confessed, Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan returned to Chenxiangyuan first.Yang Zhengyi and the eldest lady also left Mo Dixuan.
On the one hand, Yang Zhongming sent someone to invite Bai Zhi's brother and sister-in-law over, and on the other hand, he personally went to Imperial Physician Xu's residence to ask Imperial Physician Xu to inspect the lid of the incense burner.
Doctor Xu found out that the inside of the lid was contaminated with a poison called aconite.
After finding the root cause of Peng Kejing's weakness, Imperial Physician Xu is confident that she can be cured.
After receiving the permission from Imperial Physician Xu, Yang Zhongming thanked him again, and left to return home.
When he came back, Bai Zhi's brother and sister-in-law had already explained everything in the front yard.
About a month ago, they picked up an incense burner at the door of their house. They saw that the incense burner was only scratched and damaged, but it could still be used, so they took it home.
Yang Jiming judged that they were not lying, they were just being used as pawns.
Bai Zhi's family cried and begged for mercy, and Yang Zhongming wanted to send them to the government.
For the sake of getting a blessing in disguise, Peng Kejing asked her maid to come and relay her words, and begged for Bai Zhi's family, Yang Zhongming let them go.
Yang Jiming asked Yang Zhongming: "What did Doctor Xu say about the lid?"
"The inside of the cover is soaked with aconitum. I heard from Doctor Xu that this is a very rare poison that can weaken a person's body and kill him silently. Even he couldn't find out."
Yang Jiming pondered slightly, and said, "It's not an easy person to find such a poison and poison it in this way."
"Yeah, this person needs to know what the incense burner looks like first, and then find someone to make it exactly the same."
"Second Brother, you might as well go back and ask Second Sister-in-law, where did that censer come from, and who has seen the censer." The expensive emerald censer may also have an unusual origin.
However, what happened to Shang Jiayan in the book?
Thinking of this, Yang Jiming couldn't help scratching his head, his wife doesn't usually smoke incense!
Does the method of harming people vary from person to person?
Yang Zhongming saw that he was frowning and worried, so he patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "I will continue to investigate this matter myself, and I will come to you when I need your help."
"Okay, then I'll go back to Chenxiangyuan first." Yang Jiming said, "It's almost time for dinner, I'll go back and have dinner with Jing Shuo."
In Chenxiang Courtyard, Mother Gu said to Shang Jiayan: "Young Madam, it's right for sisters-in-law to help each other, but you must be careful, don't get yourself and the third young master into trouble."
Shang Jiayan smiled lightly, "Mom, don't worry, I have my own measure." After speaking, he was cheerful and silly again.
"Why is Young Madam so happy?" Mother Gu asked suspiciously.
"Ji Ming showed his skills today and interrogated that little maid who secretly changed the lid of the incense burner. Even his mother praised him."
Hearing this, Gu's mother happily accompanied him.
"What happy event did you encounter?" Yang Jiming walked in with a smile.
Shang Jiayan said to Gu's mother: "Go pass the meal."
Gu's mother agreed, then bowed to Yang Jiming, and left first.
Shang Jiayan helped Yang Jiming change into regular clothes, "I'll have dinner in a while, don't you need to go out again?"
"Well, I don't need the rest of the things for the time being."
Shang Jiayan pressed him to sit on the chair, walked around behind him and squeezed his shoulders, and asked softly: "I'm busy today, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired now." Yang Jiming giggled.
Shang Jiayan slightly raised the corners of his lips, pinched his shoulders and said with a smile, "Aren't you so stupid?"
The tone was full of pampering, and Yang Jiming almost drowned in it.
"Daughter-in-law, did I do nothing wrong?"
Shang Jiayan leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, "That's right, you did a good job."
Huai An's footsteps stopped at the door, and he turned his back quickly, complaining secretly, who was the last to come out just now, and didn't close the door for the young lady and the young master!
Shang Jiayan looked towards the door, "Huai'an."
Huai An hurriedly turned around and said: "Young Master, Young Madam, the dinner is ready."
"understood."
The two cleaned their hands first, and then sat down at the dining table together.
Yang Jiming served Shang Jiayan the dishes as usual, and Shang Jiayan served him the same.
Yang Jiming smirked twice, looking at Shang Jiayan's eyes full of affection.
Shang Jiayan's face turned red when he saw him, and he said angrily, "I don't care if I'm full, let's eat."
Yang Jiming leaned over and kissed him on the face, and said in a low voice: "The beauty is delicious, and it helps to increase appetite."
Shang Jiayan blushed, and said in a softer voice, "Stop being so talkative, eat quickly."
No matter how hard he could suppress the smile on Yang Jiming's lips, he ate the food his wife had made for him contentedly.
After eating, the two of them habitually took a walk in the yard to digest food.
Shang Jiayan asked Yang Jiming: "What do you think about the second sister-in-law? Who will harm her?"
"It's nothing more than profit, for name, power, money, and love." "But, who will it benefit from?"
"...Miss Jiang?" Yang Jiming took the opportunity to express his doubts.
Shang Jiayan couldn't help frowning slightly, "If it's Miss Jiang, it's out of love. But this is Wu Muhou's mansion, and she is a daughter of a boudoir, how did she get her hand in?"
"Miss Jiang may not be doing it for love."
Shang Jiayan sighed lightly.
Yang Jiming frowned solemnly for a while, and then said to him mysteriously: "It may also be the elder brother."
"What did you say?"
"Eldest brother is also suspicious. Second sister-in-law's family background is too good, which is a great help to second brother."
Shang Jiayan looked at him in astonishment, and quickly looked around. He was relieved when he saw no one was around them, and said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense anymore."
"Yes." Yang Jiming nodded.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
Shang Jiayan said: "As you said, you are a bastard, and your title and family property have nothing to do with you. Your focus now is on the children's test, and how to make money to support our little family."
"Yes, Jing Shuo is right."
"So let's go read."
"Today is the second day of junior high school."
"On New Year's Eve and the first day of junior high school, I haven't read and practiced calligraphy for two days."
"Understood, daughter-in-law."
Yang Jiming went to the small study to read, Shang Jiayan called Gu's mother and Huai'an into the inner room, and asked Ziyu Zilan to guard one outside the inner room and the other outside the small study.
Seeing Shang Jiayan's serious face, Gu's mother couldn't help but also look solemn, and asked, "What's your order, Young Madam?"
"The water in this mansion is more turbid than I imagined, Mama Gu, you must help me restrain the people in Chenxiangyuan."
"Yes."
"Huian, you usually pay attention to the movements in the mansion, be smart."
"Yes, young lady, don't worry, I get along very well with everyone in the house now." Huai'an has good facial features, sweet talk, and is a woman who has taken pregnancy medicine. Be nicer to others.
Shang Jiayan nodded.
Gu's mother said, "Young madam, to put it bluntly, the third young master is a concubine, and there are two elder brothers above him, why do you need to meddle in the affairs of this mansion?"
"Being in it, I'm afraid it's hard to stay out of it. I tell you these things in the hope that I can take precautions."
Gu's mother said: "Young Madam, don't worry too much. We are not easy to provoke when soldiers come to cover up the water and earth."
Shang Jiayan burst out laughing, Huai An tried hard to hold back the laugh.Gu's mother didn't dare to reprimand Shang Jiayan, so she glared at Huai'an, and said, "Young Madam, don't think my words are funny, there are many people who like to bully the weak and fear the hard, because it is much easier to pinch a soft persimmon than a hard bone."
"Mom, I understand what you mean." Shang Jiayan nodded.
In the small study, Yang Jiming looked at the handmade crop book brought back from Yang Zhongming's study, combined with several other related books, and the knowledge he had learned in modern times, and finally worked out the method of distilling wine, ready to try it.
After finalizing the plan, Yang Jiming began to copy the copybook.Whether it is the posture of holding the pen or the writing under the pen, he has become more and more decent as he has practiced.
In the following days, Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan lived their little days.
Every day, Yang Jiming read and studied with Hu Haiyang, and Shang Jiayan went to the kitchen to learn how to cook from the chef, and wanted to make soup for Yang Jiming himself.
On the day of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan went to Shang's mansion for lunch, and Mrs. Shang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.
Shang Jiayan found an opportunity to talk to Qi Yuzhen alone.
Qi Yuzhen smiled at him, and said calmly, "I know what you want to say to me. I've already figured this out."
Shang Jia hesitated to speak, but she didn't seem to have figured it out.
"Because of the fact that you were drugged by your aunt, my mother didn't give your elder brother a concubine, nor did she arrange a room for him. I am very lucky to have such a mother-in-law. But this time, that girl is already pregnant, so I can only carry She's an aunt."
"Really big brother?"
"Your elder brother said he didn't remember." Speaking of this, Qi Yuzhen became even more angry.I didn't get drunk or anything. How could such a thing happen so well, how could I not remember it?
"But the morning after the incident, many people in the yard saw Hongyu come out of the study in disheveled clothes."
Shang Jiayan couldn't help sighing lightly.
Qi Yuzhen also sighed, "I also blamed me, Xiao Rui had a stomachache and couldn't sleep well, so I carried him to our room and asked your elder brother to sleep in the study alone."
Shang Jiayan said: "At this point, sister-in-law, please be at ease."
"Yeah, that's all I can do. What's more, compared to many people, I'm already very lucky."
"Sister-in-law is open-minded."
"Don't talk about my bad things here, are you all right?"
"Everything is fine with Ji Ming, but the mansion has not been peaceful recently."
"Wu Muhou's mansion has a large population and complex relationships, so it's inevitable that there will be troubles. As long as you don't get involved, stay away, so as not to be affected by Chiyu."
Shang Jiayan nodded his head slightly, but said in his heart: Some things can't be avoided even if you want to.There are still some things, this time I just stood by and watched, and next time it should fall directly on my head.
In the afternoon, Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan returned to the mansion.
On this day, the whole family will have dinner together at Fuxitang.After eating, Yang Jiming took Shang Jiayan out of the house to play on the street.
Because on this day, there is a lantern festival in Beijing.
Especially on both sides of the Yuhe River, the lights are just coming on, the lights are shining brightly, and the market is like daytime.
Yang Jiming walked down the street holding Shang Jiayan's hand to avoid being separated.
"Jing Shuo, did you come out to watch lanterns before?"
"sometimes."
"Watching the lanterns is a lot of fun. There must be riddles at the lantern festival. Let's do the riddles later."
"Okay." Shang Jiayan is not a person who likes to be lively, but seeing Yang Jiming so full of interest, he accompanied him with crooked eyebrows and was also full of joy.
"Third son!"
Ding Zijie walked through the crowd and walked towards Yang Jiming with a sullen expression on his face.Seeing Shang Jiayan beside Yang Jiming, he calmed down a little.
Yang Jiming said with a smile: "Zijie, you also come out to watch the lanterns, are you alone?"
Ding Zijie suppressed his anger and said, "Let's go over there, I have something to ask you."
Yang Jiming hesitated.
Shang Jiayan said: "Go over and talk, I will wait for you here."
"Okay, then you wait for me here and don't wander around."
After saying that, Yang Jiming told Fuquan and Huai'an: "You take good care of the young lady."
"Yes."
Shang Jiayan curled his lips and said, "Go quickly, don't make Young Master Ding wait."
Ding Zijie raised his hand to Shang Jiayan as a half salute, and Shang Jiayan returned a half salute.
After Yang Jiming and Ding Zijie walked to an empty corner, they looked back at Shang Jiayan's figure worriedly, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?" Ding Zijie tried his best to suppress his anger, "Let me ask you, what's the matter with Marshal Hei?"
Suddenly, Yang Jiming's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a guilty smile: "Well, when I was handling the case, I was talking nonsense to others."
Ding Zijie pointed at him with trembling fingers angrily, "Do you know that Jiang Shumao is pestering me every day now, asking me to take out the black marshal to compete with his red marshal, I am almost annoyed by him. "
Yang Jiming was stunned for a moment, and said, "Just catch a chicken and deal with him."
"That's what I did. I caught a chicken waiting to be slaughtered in a chicken coop in the kitchen, but Jiang Shumao said that I was perfunctory to him, and he would not let me go."
Yang Jiming chuckled and said, "This Jiang Si is so obsessed with fighting cocks."
"You still dare to laugh?" Ding Zijie was furious, "Do you know how many good things he has ruined for me?"
"What's wrong?"
Ding Zijie hesitated to speak, a little embarrassed.
"What did he do? If that kid has gone too far, I will accompany you to find him."
"When I was making out with someone in the Yanyu Tower, he ran over and put a cage of chickens in the house. Many people saw it. The real chicken feathers made me feel ashamed."
"Well, it's something he can do."
"Also, he pesters me every day, and everyone else avoids me. My current life is messed up by him, and I'm going crazy." Ding Zijie scratched his head.
"Isn't it just a chicken?" Yang Jiming felt guilty, he was the chief culprit who caused his friend's troubles. "Let's train one together and defeat his Red Marshal."
Ding Zijie waved his hand and said, "I don't fight cockfights anymore, I won't play cockfights in my life. You caused this matter, you have to help me solve it."
"Forehead……"
"If you don't agree, I'll tell Mrs. Sister-in-law about the things you did before."
Immediately, Yang Jiming swallowed all the words that came to his lips, "Okay, you win."
The two walked back, and when they approached Shang Jiayan, they saw him talking to someone.The man was blocked by the board of the vendor's cart, and they didn't see who it was until they came over.
Jiang Shu sneered and said, "My cousin actually left my cousin sister-in-law aside, and only cared about talking to others."
Shang Jiayan said gently: "My fourth cousin misunderstood, I asked them to talk a few words alone."
Yang Jiming walked up to Shang Jiayan and took his hand.
Ding Zijie said to Shang Jiayan: "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving first, and I'll visit another day."
Jiang Shumao caught up with him, "Why are you running?"
Seeing the two of them drifting away, Shang Jiayan asked, "Where are we going now?" Looking at their expressions, one could tell that something must be up, and Yang Jiming must be busy with something.
"Go and guess the lantern riddles." After saying that, Yang Jiming led him to the lantern riddles booth.Then what about the Red Marshal and the Black Marshal? Why is it important to accompany the wife?
In front of the lantern riddle stand, many young people gathered.
The boss smiled and narrowed his eyes. Although many lanterns were guessed, the lanterns on sale were almost sold out, and the money had already been paid back.Shang Jiayan asked Yang Jiming to guess the easier lantern riddles, and Yang Jiming guessed more than half of them, laughing complacently.
Seeing them dressed in brocade clothes, the boss smiled and asked, "You two young masters, what do you want to take away with these lanterns?"
Shang Jiayan picked out a more elegant lantern, "This is it."
"Okay." The boss smiled even more happily.
The two continued to stroll, and Yang Jiming took the lantern from Shang Jiayan's hand to help him carry it.
At this moment, brother and sister Yang Guang and Yang Wanyu walked over.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, you have also come out to watch the lanterns."
"Yes."
"Is this the lantern you bought?" Yang Wanyu looked at the lantern in Yang Jiming's hand.
"Just guessed the riddle."
When it came to guessing riddles, Yang Wanyu pouted and said unhappily: "Third brother and third sister-in-law, there is also a lantern riddle stand over there. I fancy a peony lantern, but my brother just can't guess the answer."
Yang Guang laughed awkwardly and said, "Can't you guess it yourself?"
"You are a scholar after all, how do you compare with me?"
Shang Jiayan said softly: "Okay, take us over there to have a look, and let's guess together."
Yang Wanyu cast a sideways glance at her brother, and said to Shang Jiayan, "Sister-in-law three, it's just ahead, I'll take you there."
After finishing speaking, they walked ahead, and Yang Jiming and Yang Guang hurriedly followed.
Yang Wanyu let out a "huh" and hurriedly asked the boss, "Where's the peony lantern?"
"A young man guessed the puzzle and took it away."
Yang Wanyu drooped her head in disappointment.
Shang Jiayan said with a smile: "Let's look at others, maybe we will meet someone you like more."
"Yes." Yang Wanyu nodded with a smile.
Shang Jiayan and Yang Wanyu walked in front and walked past the vendors.
Suddenly, Yang Wanyu pointed to the person in front and said to Shang Jiayan: "Sister-in-law, the lantern that that person is holding seems to be the peony lantern I mentioned."
Shang Jiayan followed her line of sight, and found that the silhouette of that person seemed to have been seen somewhere.
Yang Guang said to Yang Wanyu: "Wait, brother, go buy it from that person for you." After finishing speaking, he walked towards that person.
Shang Jiayan quickly said to Yang Jiming: "Ji Ming, go and have a look."
"Okay." Yang Jiming also walked towards the man, who just turned around.
"It's him." Shang Jiayan remembered that he was someone who had met once.
"Sister-in-law three, do you know each other?"
"He's an examinee, and he's familiar with my cousin." After saying that, they also walked over.
Lu Zixi just heard Yang Guang finish speaking, and said, "There is no need for the money, this lantern is for Miss."
Yang Wanyu frowned slightly, and said: "My lord's kindness, I appreciate it. But I have no reason to take your things, and let people gossip for no reason."
Lu Zixi said: "This is won by guessing the lantern riddles. Xiaosheng didn't spend any money. If Miss likes this lantern, why don't you pay a penny to buy it."
Yang Wanyu looked at Shang Jiayan, Shang Jiayan nodded slightly, and asked Huai'an to pay a penny.
Huaian took the lantern and handed it to Yang Wanyu, who smiled and thanked Lu Zixi.
Lu Zixi saluted as a scholar and watched them leave.
Yang Wanyu held up the lantern and said with a smile: "This peony lantern is still in my hands."
Yang Guang said, "Are you satisfied now? Hurry up and thank me."
Yang Wanyu hummed: "Sister-in-law San bought this for me, it has nothing to do with you."
The two brothers and sisters in the second room bickered as they walked, and Yang Jiming was full of resentment towards the two light bulbs.
Shang Jiayan took a step behind on purpose, walked to Yang Jiming's side and took his arm, and said in a low voice, "We'll come out to play together some other day, just the two of us."
"You said it." Yang Jiming finally smiled again, wondering where to play.
Yang Guang looked back at them, and couldn't help being speechless, "Third brother and third sister-in-law, they are on the street."
Shang Jiayan took his hand back, smiled lightly and said nothing.
Yang Jiming cleared his throat and said to the two brothers and sisters, "Shouldn't you two go home?"
Yang Guang looked at him contemptuously, and Yang Wanyu asked stupidly, "Where's the third brother and the third sister-in-law?"
Yang Jiming said solemnly: "I have something to do with your sister-in-law, you go back first."
Yang Guang chuckled and said, "For the sake of Mrs. San, I won't disturb your tryst."
Yang Jiming frowned and said, "What rendezvous? Your sister-in-law and I have worshiped heaven and earth."
Yang Guang gave him a supercilious look, and took Yang Wanyu away.
Shang Jiayan tugged at Yang Jiming's sleeve, "If you get angry again, I'll go home by myself."
Yang Jiming changed his smile instantly, "I'm not angry, daughter-in-law, let's continue shopping."
Shang Jiayan held back his laughter, not forgetting to educate him: "Those are younger brothers and sisters, treat them better, don't keep putting on a long face."
"Got it, Jing Shuo."
Yang Jiming couldn't help muttering: "If they don't come to disturb our date, I will definitely look good."
"What did you whisper?"
"It's nothing."
Shang Jiayan gave him a sideways look, and sighed slightly in his heart, in fact, he didn't want to be disturbed either. "Let's go for a walk by the river."
"it is good."
However, when they got to the river, they saw the acquaintance again.
Yang Jiming pulled Shang Jiayan to a stop and said in a low voice, "Let's go further."
"Cousin, cousin husband!"
The day failed Yang Jiming's wish, Lu Yuan'an happily walked over while waving to them.
"Yuan'an, what a coincidence." Yang Jiming himself felt that the smile on his face was stiff.
Shang Jiayan chuckled, and said softly to Lu Yuanan, "Is my cousin alone, or with friends?"
"With a few friends." Lu Yuanan said, looking at a few friends by the river.
Shang Jiayan followed his gaze and saw that they were all young people of the same age as Lu Yuanan, and they were probably also candidates.
Shang Jiayan said: "We just met another friend of yours, if I remember correctly, his name is Lu Zixi."
"It's Brother Zixi, we also made an appointment with him, but he left first." Lu Yuanan sighed softly, "Brother Zixi has been spending a lot of time, and he has been writing and painting for some money recently."
"Didn't you help him get through the current difficulties first?"
"I said I wanted to support him, but he refused. He is straightforward and pedantic. I heard that his family used to be a family of officials, and he even made a baby marriage with an official lady in Beijing."
Shang Jiayan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered that there was a person who had also engaged in baby kiss since childhood. "Do you know which family's lady it is?"
Lu Yuanan shook his head, "He didn't say anything. When I advised him to go to his future father-in-law's house, he said that he would wait until he was named on the gold list before proposing marriage."
"So that's how it is." Shang Jia said thoughtfully.
Yang Jiming, who was left out in the cold, couldn't help saying: "Yuan'an, your friends are still there, go over quickly, and leave us alone."
"Okay, then I'll go, cousin and cousin husband have fun."
Yang Jiming sighed heavily, and said, "There are so many people, it's easy to meet acquaintances."
Shang Jiayan said with a smile: "It's a rare lantern show, everyone will want to come out and play."
Yang Jiming said sourly: "A scholar who has been engaged, why do you talk so much with Yuan'an?"
"I heard from Third Sister that she also engaged in baby kissing."
"That's what happened."
and many more!
Yang Jiming's eyes widened suddenly, "Is the person you mentioned just now called Lu Zixi?"
"It's Lu Zixi."
What the hell!Yang Jiming wanted to swear.
Lu Zixi was the one who married Yang Wanyu.
In the book, Lu Zixi won the Jinshi examination and found a job in the Ministry of Industry through the relationship of Wumuhou Mansion.
The problem is that this Lu Zixi didn't know which muscle was wrong, he would fall in love with the heroine who had become Yang Zhongming's successor, so he just divorced Yang Wanyu.In the end, Erfang left the capital for various reasons.
Thinking of the plot in the book, Yang Jiming wanted to bring Lu Zixi over and beat him up.
On the one hand, Yang Zhongming sent someone to invite Bai Zhi's brother and sister-in-law over, and on the other hand, he personally went to Imperial Physician Xu's residence to ask Imperial Physician Xu to inspect the lid of the incense burner.
Doctor Xu found out that the inside of the lid was contaminated with a poison called aconite.
After finding the root cause of Peng Kejing's weakness, Imperial Physician Xu is confident that she can be cured.
After receiving the permission from Imperial Physician Xu, Yang Zhongming thanked him again, and left to return home.
When he came back, Bai Zhi's brother and sister-in-law had already explained everything in the front yard.
About a month ago, they picked up an incense burner at the door of their house. They saw that the incense burner was only scratched and damaged, but it could still be used, so they took it home.
Yang Jiming judged that they were not lying, they were just being used as pawns.
Bai Zhi's family cried and begged for mercy, and Yang Zhongming wanted to send them to the government.
For the sake of getting a blessing in disguise, Peng Kejing asked her maid to come and relay her words, and begged for Bai Zhi's family, Yang Zhongming let them go.
Yang Jiming asked Yang Zhongming: "What did Doctor Xu say about the lid?"
"The inside of the cover is soaked with aconitum. I heard from Doctor Xu that this is a very rare poison that can weaken a person's body and kill him silently. Even he couldn't find out."
Yang Jiming pondered slightly, and said, "It's not an easy person to find such a poison and poison it in this way."
"Yeah, this person needs to know what the incense burner looks like first, and then find someone to make it exactly the same."
"Second Brother, you might as well go back and ask Second Sister-in-law, where did that censer come from, and who has seen the censer." The expensive emerald censer may also have an unusual origin.
However, what happened to Shang Jiayan in the book?
Thinking of this, Yang Jiming couldn't help scratching his head, his wife doesn't usually smoke incense!
Does the method of harming people vary from person to person?
Yang Zhongming saw that he was frowning and worried, so he patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "I will continue to investigate this matter myself, and I will come to you when I need your help."
"Okay, then I'll go back to Chenxiangyuan first." Yang Jiming said, "It's almost time for dinner, I'll go back and have dinner with Jing Shuo."
In Chenxiang Courtyard, Mother Gu said to Shang Jiayan: "Young Madam, it's right for sisters-in-law to help each other, but you must be careful, don't get yourself and the third young master into trouble."
Shang Jiayan smiled lightly, "Mom, don't worry, I have my own measure." After speaking, he was cheerful and silly again.
"Why is Young Madam so happy?" Mother Gu asked suspiciously.
"Ji Ming showed his skills today and interrogated that little maid who secretly changed the lid of the incense burner. Even his mother praised him."
Hearing this, Gu's mother happily accompanied him.
"What happy event did you encounter?" Yang Jiming walked in with a smile.
Shang Jiayan said to Gu's mother: "Go pass the meal."
Gu's mother agreed, then bowed to Yang Jiming, and left first.
Shang Jiayan helped Yang Jiming change into regular clothes, "I'll have dinner in a while, don't you need to go out again?"
"Well, I don't need the rest of the things for the time being."
Shang Jiayan pressed him to sit on the chair, walked around behind him and squeezed his shoulders, and asked softly: "I'm busy today, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired now." Yang Jiming giggled.
Shang Jiayan slightly raised the corners of his lips, pinched his shoulders and said with a smile, "Aren't you so stupid?"
The tone was full of pampering, and Yang Jiming almost drowned in it.
"Daughter-in-law, did I do nothing wrong?"
Shang Jiayan leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, "That's right, you did a good job."
Huai An's footsteps stopped at the door, and he turned his back quickly, complaining secretly, who was the last to come out just now, and didn't close the door for the young lady and the young master!
Shang Jiayan looked towards the door, "Huai'an."
Huai An hurriedly turned around and said: "Young Master, Young Madam, the dinner is ready."
"understood."
The two cleaned their hands first, and then sat down at the dining table together.
Yang Jiming served Shang Jiayan the dishes as usual, and Shang Jiayan served him the same.
Yang Jiming smirked twice, looking at Shang Jiayan's eyes full of affection.
Shang Jiayan's face turned red when he saw him, and he said angrily, "I don't care if I'm full, let's eat."
Yang Jiming leaned over and kissed him on the face, and said in a low voice: "The beauty is delicious, and it helps to increase appetite."
Shang Jiayan blushed, and said in a softer voice, "Stop being so talkative, eat quickly."
No matter how hard he could suppress the smile on Yang Jiming's lips, he ate the food his wife had made for him contentedly.
After eating, the two of them habitually took a walk in the yard to digest food.
Shang Jiayan asked Yang Jiming: "What do you think about the second sister-in-law? Who will harm her?"
"It's nothing more than profit, for name, power, money, and love." "But, who will it benefit from?"
"...Miss Jiang?" Yang Jiming took the opportunity to express his doubts.
Shang Jiayan couldn't help frowning slightly, "If it's Miss Jiang, it's out of love. But this is Wu Muhou's mansion, and she is a daughter of a boudoir, how did she get her hand in?"
"Miss Jiang may not be doing it for love."
Shang Jiayan sighed lightly.
Yang Jiming frowned solemnly for a while, and then said to him mysteriously: "It may also be the elder brother."
"What did you say?"
"Eldest brother is also suspicious. Second sister-in-law's family background is too good, which is a great help to second brother."
Shang Jiayan looked at him in astonishment, and quickly looked around. He was relieved when he saw no one was around them, and said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense anymore."
"Yes." Yang Jiming nodded.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
Shang Jiayan said: "As you said, you are a bastard, and your title and family property have nothing to do with you. Your focus now is on the children's test, and how to make money to support our little family."
"Yes, Jing Shuo is right."
"So let's go read."
"Today is the second day of junior high school."
"On New Year's Eve and the first day of junior high school, I haven't read and practiced calligraphy for two days."
"Understood, daughter-in-law."
Yang Jiming went to the small study to read, Shang Jiayan called Gu's mother and Huai'an into the inner room, and asked Ziyu Zilan to guard one outside the inner room and the other outside the small study.
Seeing Shang Jiayan's serious face, Gu's mother couldn't help but also look solemn, and asked, "What's your order, Young Madam?"
"The water in this mansion is more turbid than I imagined, Mama Gu, you must help me restrain the people in Chenxiangyuan."
"Yes."
"Huian, you usually pay attention to the movements in the mansion, be smart."
"Yes, young lady, don't worry, I get along very well with everyone in the house now." Huai'an has good facial features, sweet talk, and is a woman who has taken pregnancy medicine. Be nicer to others.
Shang Jiayan nodded.
Gu's mother said, "Young madam, to put it bluntly, the third young master is a concubine, and there are two elder brothers above him, why do you need to meddle in the affairs of this mansion?"
"Being in it, I'm afraid it's hard to stay out of it. I tell you these things in the hope that I can take precautions."
Gu's mother said: "Young Madam, don't worry too much. We are not easy to provoke when soldiers come to cover up the water and earth."
Shang Jiayan burst out laughing, Huai An tried hard to hold back the laugh.Gu's mother didn't dare to reprimand Shang Jiayan, so she glared at Huai'an, and said, "Young Madam, don't think my words are funny, there are many people who like to bully the weak and fear the hard, because it is much easier to pinch a soft persimmon than a hard bone."
"Mom, I understand what you mean." Shang Jiayan nodded.
In the small study, Yang Jiming looked at the handmade crop book brought back from Yang Zhongming's study, combined with several other related books, and the knowledge he had learned in modern times, and finally worked out the method of distilling wine, ready to try it.
After finalizing the plan, Yang Jiming began to copy the copybook.Whether it is the posture of holding the pen or the writing under the pen, he has become more and more decent as he has practiced.
In the following days, Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan lived their little days.
Every day, Yang Jiming read and studied with Hu Haiyang, and Shang Jiayan went to the kitchen to learn how to cook from the chef, and wanted to make soup for Yang Jiming himself.
On the day of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan went to Shang's mansion for lunch, and Mrs. Shang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.
Shang Jiayan found an opportunity to talk to Qi Yuzhen alone.
Qi Yuzhen smiled at him, and said calmly, "I know what you want to say to me. I've already figured this out."
Shang Jia hesitated to speak, but she didn't seem to have figured it out.
"Because of the fact that you were drugged by your aunt, my mother didn't give your elder brother a concubine, nor did she arrange a room for him. I am very lucky to have such a mother-in-law. But this time, that girl is already pregnant, so I can only carry She's an aunt."
"Really big brother?"
"Your elder brother said he didn't remember." Speaking of this, Qi Yuzhen became even more angry.I didn't get drunk or anything. How could such a thing happen so well, how could I not remember it?
"But the morning after the incident, many people in the yard saw Hongyu come out of the study in disheveled clothes."
Shang Jiayan couldn't help sighing lightly.
Qi Yuzhen also sighed, "I also blamed me, Xiao Rui had a stomachache and couldn't sleep well, so I carried him to our room and asked your elder brother to sleep in the study alone."
Shang Jiayan said: "At this point, sister-in-law, please be at ease."
"Yeah, that's all I can do. What's more, compared to many people, I'm already very lucky."
"Sister-in-law is open-minded."
"Don't talk about my bad things here, are you all right?"
"Everything is fine with Ji Ming, but the mansion has not been peaceful recently."
"Wu Muhou's mansion has a large population and complex relationships, so it's inevitable that there will be troubles. As long as you don't get involved, stay away, so as not to be affected by Chiyu."
Shang Jiayan nodded his head slightly, but said in his heart: Some things can't be avoided even if you want to.There are still some things, this time I just stood by and watched, and next time it should fall directly on my head.
In the afternoon, Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan returned to the mansion.
On this day, the whole family will have dinner together at Fuxitang.After eating, Yang Jiming took Shang Jiayan out of the house to play on the street.
Because on this day, there is a lantern festival in Beijing.
Especially on both sides of the Yuhe River, the lights are just coming on, the lights are shining brightly, and the market is like daytime.
Yang Jiming walked down the street holding Shang Jiayan's hand to avoid being separated.
"Jing Shuo, did you come out to watch lanterns before?"
"sometimes."
"Watching the lanterns is a lot of fun. There must be riddles at the lantern festival. Let's do the riddles later."
"Okay." Shang Jiayan is not a person who likes to be lively, but seeing Yang Jiming so full of interest, he accompanied him with crooked eyebrows and was also full of joy.
"Third son!"
Ding Zijie walked through the crowd and walked towards Yang Jiming with a sullen expression on his face.Seeing Shang Jiayan beside Yang Jiming, he calmed down a little.
Yang Jiming said with a smile: "Zijie, you also come out to watch the lanterns, are you alone?"
Ding Zijie suppressed his anger and said, "Let's go over there, I have something to ask you."
Yang Jiming hesitated.
Shang Jiayan said: "Go over and talk, I will wait for you here."
"Okay, then you wait for me here and don't wander around."
After saying that, Yang Jiming told Fuquan and Huai'an: "You take good care of the young lady."
"Yes."
Shang Jiayan curled his lips and said, "Go quickly, don't make Young Master Ding wait."
Ding Zijie raised his hand to Shang Jiayan as a half salute, and Shang Jiayan returned a half salute.
After Yang Jiming and Ding Zijie walked to an empty corner, they looked back at Shang Jiayan's figure worriedly, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You still have the nerve to ask me what's wrong?" Ding Zijie tried his best to suppress his anger, "Let me ask you, what's the matter with Marshal Hei?"
Suddenly, Yang Jiming's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a guilty smile: "Well, when I was handling the case, I was talking nonsense to others."
Ding Zijie pointed at him with trembling fingers angrily, "Do you know that Jiang Shumao is pestering me every day now, asking me to take out the black marshal to compete with his red marshal, I am almost annoyed by him. "
Yang Jiming was stunned for a moment, and said, "Just catch a chicken and deal with him."
"That's what I did. I caught a chicken waiting to be slaughtered in a chicken coop in the kitchen, but Jiang Shumao said that I was perfunctory to him, and he would not let me go."
Yang Jiming chuckled and said, "This Jiang Si is so obsessed with fighting cocks."
"You still dare to laugh?" Ding Zijie was furious, "Do you know how many good things he has ruined for me?"
"What's wrong?"
Ding Zijie hesitated to speak, a little embarrassed.
"What did he do? If that kid has gone too far, I will accompany you to find him."
"When I was making out with someone in the Yanyu Tower, he ran over and put a cage of chickens in the house. Many people saw it. The real chicken feathers made me feel ashamed."
"Well, it's something he can do."
"Also, he pesters me every day, and everyone else avoids me. My current life is messed up by him, and I'm going crazy." Ding Zijie scratched his head.
"Isn't it just a chicken?" Yang Jiming felt guilty, he was the chief culprit who caused his friend's troubles. "Let's train one together and defeat his Red Marshal."
Ding Zijie waved his hand and said, "I don't fight cockfights anymore, I won't play cockfights in my life. You caused this matter, you have to help me solve it."
"Forehead……"
"If you don't agree, I'll tell Mrs. Sister-in-law about the things you did before."
Immediately, Yang Jiming swallowed all the words that came to his lips, "Okay, you win."
The two walked back, and when they approached Shang Jiayan, they saw him talking to someone.The man was blocked by the board of the vendor's cart, and they didn't see who it was until they came over.
Jiang Shu sneered and said, "My cousin actually left my cousin sister-in-law aside, and only cared about talking to others."
Shang Jiayan said gently: "My fourth cousin misunderstood, I asked them to talk a few words alone."
Yang Jiming walked up to Shang Jiayan and took his hand.
Ding Zijie said to Shang Jiayan: "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving first, and I'll visit another day."
Jiang Shumao caught up with him, "Why are you running?"
Seeing the two of them drifting away, Shang Jiayan asked, "Where are we going now?" Looking at their expressions, one could tell that something must be up, and Yang Jiming must be busy with something.
"Go and guess the lantern riddles." After saying that, Yang Jiming led him to the lantern riddles booth.Then what about the Red Marshal and the Black Marshal? Why is it important to accompany the wife?
In front of the lantern riddle stand, many young people gathered.
The boss smiled and narrowed his eyes. Although many lanterns were guessed, the lanterns on sale were almost sold out, and the money had already been paid back.Shang Jiayan asked Yang Jiming to guess the easier lantern riddles, and Yang Jiming guessed more than half of them, laughing complacently.
Seeing them dressed in brocade clothes, the boss smiled and asked, "You two young masters, what do you want to take away with these lanterns?"
Shang Jiayan picked out a more elegant lantern, "This is it."
"Okay." The boss smiled even more happily.
The two continued to stroll, and Yang Jiming took the lantern from Shang Jiayan's hand to help him carry it.
At this moment, brother and sister Yang Guang and Yang Wanyu walked over.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, you have also come out to watch the lanterns."
"Yes."
"Is this the lantern you bought?" Yang Wanyu looked at the lantern in Yang Jiming's hand.
"Just guessed the riddle."
When it came to guessing riddles, Yang Wanyu pouted and said unhappily: "Third brother and third sister-in-law, there is also a lantern riddle stand over there. I fancy a peony lantern, but my brother just can't guess the answer."
Yang Guang laughed awkwardly and said, "Can't you guess it yourself?"
"You are a scholar after all, how do you compare with me?"
Shang Jiayan said softly: "Okay, take us over there to have a look, and let's guess together."
Yang Wanyu cast a sideways glance at her brother, and said to Shang Jiayan, "Sister-in-law three, it's just ahead, I'll take you there."
After finishing speaking, they walked ahead, and Yang Jiming and Yang Guang hurriedly followed.
Yang Wanyu let out a "huh" and hurriedly asked the boss, "Where's the peony lantern?"
"A young man guessed the puzzle and took it away."
Yang Wanyu drooped her head in disappointment.
Shang Jiayan said with a smile: "Let's look at others, maybe we will meet someone you like more."
"Yes." Yang Wanyu nodded with a smile.
Shang Jiayan and Yang Wanyu walked in front and walked past the vendors.
Suddenly, Yang Wanyu pointed to the person in front and said to Shang Jiayan: "Sister-in-law, the lantern that that person is holding seems to be the peony lantern I mentioned."
Shang Jiayan followed her line of sight, and found that the silhouette of that person seemed to have been seen somewhere.
Yang Guang said to Yang Wanyu: "Wait, brother, go buy it from that person for you." After finishing speaking, he walked towards that person.
Shang Jiayan quickly said to Yang Jiming: "Ji Ming, go and have a look."
"Okay." Yang Jiming also walked towards the man, who just turned around.
"It's him." Shang Jiayan remembered that he was someone who had met once.
"Sister-in-law three, do you know each other?"
"He's an examinee, and he's familiar with my cousin." After saying that, they also walked over.
Lu Zixi just heard Yang Guang finish speaking, and said, "There is no need for the money, this lantern is for Miss."
Yang Wanyu frowned slightly, and said: "My lord's kindness, I appreciate it. But I have no reason to take your things, and let people gossip for no reason."
Lu Zixi said: "This is won by guessing the lantern riddles. Xiaosheng didn't spend any money. If Miss likes this lantern, why don't you pay a penny to buy it."
Yang Wanyu looked at Shang Jiayan, Shang Jiayan nodded slightly, and asked Huai'an to pay a penny.
Huaian took the lantern and handed it to Yang Wanyu, who smiled and thanked Lu Zixi.
Lu Zixi saluted as a scholar and watched them leave.
Yang Wanyu held up the lantern and said with a smile: "This peony lantern is still in my hands."
Yang Guang said, "Are you satisfied now? Hurry up and thank me."
Yang Wanyu hummed: "Sister-in-law San bought this for me, it has nothing to do with you."
The two brothers and sisters in the second room bickered as they walked, and Yang Jiming was full of resentment towards the two light bulbs.
Shang Jiayan took a step behind on purpose, walked to Yang Jiming's side and took his arm, and said in a low voice, "We'll come out to play together some other day, just the two of us."
"You said it." Yang Jiming finally smiled again, wondering where to play.
Yang Guang looked back at them, and couldn't help being speechless, "Third brother and third sister-in-law, they are on the street."
Shang Jiayan took his hand back, smiled lightly and said nothing.
Yang Jiming cleared his throat and said to the two brothers and sisters, "Shouldn't you two go home?"
Yang Guang looked at him contemptuously, and Yang Wanyu asked stupidly, "Where's the third brother and the third sister-in-law?"
Yang Jiming said solemnly: "I have something to do with your sister-in-law, you go back first."
Yang Guang chuckled and said, "For the sake of Mrs. San, I won't disturb your tryst."
Yang Jiming frowned and said, "What rendezvous? Your sister-in-law and I have worshiped heaven and earth."
Yang Guang gave him a supercilious look, and took Yang Wanyu away.
Shang Jiayan tugged at Yang Jiming's sleeve, "If you get angry again, I'll go home by myself."
Yang Jiming changed his smile instantly, "I'm not angry, daughter-in-law, let's continue shopping."
Shang Jiayan held back his laughter, not forgetting to educate him: "Those are younger brothers and sisters, treat them better, don't keep putting on a long face."
"Got it, Jing Shuo."
Yang Jiming couldn't help muttering: "If they don't come to disturb our date, I will definitely look good."
"What did you whisper?"
"It's nothing."
Shang Jiayan gave him a sideways look, and sighed slightly in his heart, in fact, he didn't want to be disturbed either. "Let's go for a walk by the river."
"it is good."
However, when they got to the river, they saw the acquaintance again.
Yang Jiming pulled Shang Jiayan to a stop and said in a low voice, "Let's go further."
"Cousin, cousin husband!"
The day failed Yang Jiming's wish, Lu Yuan'an happily walked over while waving to them.
"Yuan'an, what a coincidence." Yang Jiming himself felt that the smile on his face was stiff.
Shang Jiayan chuckled, and said softly to Lu Yuanan, "Is my cousin alone, or with friends?"
"With a few friends." Lu Yuanan said, looking at a few friends by the river.
Shang Jiayan followed his gaze and saw that they were all young people of the same age as Lu Yuanan, and they were probably also candidates.
Shang Jiayan said: "We just met another friend of yours, if I remember correctly, his name is Lu Zixi."
"It's Brother Zixi, we also made an appointment with him, but he left first." Lu Yuanan sighed softly, "Brother Zixi has been spending a lot of time, and he has been writing and painting for some money recently."
"Didn't you help him get through the current difficulties first?"
"I said I wanted to support him, but he refused. He is straightforward and pedantic. I heard that his family used to be a family of officials, and he even made a baby marriage with an official lady in Beijing."
Shang Jiayan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered that there was a person who had also engaged in baby kiss since childhood. "Do you know which family's lady it is?"
Lu Yuanan shook his head, "He didn't say anything. When I advised him to go to his future father-in-law's house, he said that he would wait until he was named on the gold list before proposing marriage."
"So that's how it is." Shang Jia said thoughtfully.
Yang Jiming, who was left out in the cold, couldn't help saying: "Yuan'an, your friends are still there, go over quickly, and leave us alone."
"Okay, then I'll go, cousin and cousin husband have fun."
Yang Jiming sighed heavily, and said, "There are so many people, it's easy to meet acquaintances."
Shang Jiayan said with a smile: "It's a rare lantern show, everyone will want to come out and play."
Yang Jiming said sourly: "A scholar who has been engaged, why do you talk so much with Yuan'an?"
"I heard from Third Sister that she also engaged in baby kissing."
"That's what happened."
and many more!
Yang Jiming's eyes widened suddenly, "Is the person you mentioned just now called Lu Zixi?"
"It's Lu Zixi."
What the hell!Yang Jiming wanted to swear.
Lu Zixi was the one who married Yang Wanyu.
In the book, Lu Zixi won the Jinshi examination and found a job in the Ministry of Industry through the relationship of Wumuhou Mansion.
The problem is that this Lu Zixi didn't know which muscle was wrong, he would fall in love with the heroine who had become Yang Zhongming's successor, so he just divorced Yang Wanyu.In the end, Erfang left the capital for various reasons.
Thinking of the plot in the book, Yang Jiming wanted to bring Lu Zixi over and beat him up.
