[Red House] Flowers are good jade circles
Chapter 51 Who is it?
Xingguo watched Wen Ruwan drink the medicine early in the morning, and went back to rest after seeing that she fell asleep, but when she heard that she had sneaked away, she was so angry that she was half dead.At this moment, he followed the people on Zhuangzi angrily, and ran out like a gust of wind to find someone.
Jia Min also heard about it, and called her daughter over to ask, Daiyu told her story honestly, Jia Min sneered, "It's also thanks to your Aunt Wen who endured it for so long, don't worry, she committed suicide But we can't blame others. The Wen family is full of children and grandchildren, and they can tolerate her misbehavior, besides, the feet grow on her body, and if something happens, we can't blame it on us."
Hearing what she said, Daiyu felt at ease, "Sister Wen is still angry, I'll try to persuade her later."
"Your Aunt Wen just protected her too well, but that's fine." Jia Min saw the jade plaque on her daughter's waist by mistake, and then looked at the cherries on the table, and she smiled inwardly.
"The Thirteenth Lord entrusted Prince Yong to be the matchmaker, and your father has already agreed. But the Thirteenth Lord said that it is inconvenient for him to go out of the house now, and he will wrong you when talking about marriage. I want to wait a little longer. He wants to ask for a discount in a few days." I have the emperor's forgiveness, and I will come out to walk around in a fair manner. Your father said it was okay, but he insisted on doing so for the sake of my son's face." Jia Min patted the back of her daughter's hand, very pleased.
"Yeah." Daiyu snorted softly like a gnat, and hid shyly.
After walking out of the room, he wiped his face, and his shame faded away.In order to pretend to be like everyone else, I was exhausted.After walking a few steps, I saw a servant coming to report that Wen Ruwan had returned.
She hurried over, Wen Ruyan was one step ahead of her, and she heard her roar from a long distance away, "Where have you been, this is someone else's house, there are no rules at all, who did you learn to be so self-willed If you are like this, you might as well go home, so as not to embarrass our Wen family outside."
"Big sister, I don't. I just have chest tightness. I just walked along the river, and I went astray before I knew it." Wen Ruwan was crying pear blossoms with rain. Like a vicious shrew, bullying a weak woman.
Daiyu laughed as soon as she entered the door, "It's good if you come back. Sister Wen, you are really serious. She is here to play, not to go to jail. What's wrong with walking away? It's worth your anger."
After speaking, he looked at Wen Ruwan coldly, "Miss San is tired too, she should rest earlier." After speaking, she dragged Wen Ruyan out.
"Why are you dragging me? It would be nice to take this opportunity to send her back."
"Wouldn't it make her open her mouth to talk nonsense when I send it back?" Daiyu had a headache, it's really not what she would do for a person with a bad brain.
"She dares. Besides, my mother is at home."
"It's because we're not here, and your mother doesn't know what's going on here. I've arranged for two wives to guard them, and they won't leave each other these few days. Hurry up to the kitchen. You promised Ulan Gege's milk pancakes. If you don't send it, she will scold people."
It was only then that Wen Ruyan realized that she boasted that Haikou was going to make Wulan Gege her specialty snacks, so she quickly slapped her head, "I'll go right away."
The finished milk cake was sent to Jia Min, and Bai Lu sent another to Ulan Gege. Daiyu pointed in Wen Ruwan's direction, "Aren't you going to give it to her?"
"I won't give it away, I won't kill her by swallowing it." Wen Ruyan annoyed her almost to death, so why would she give it to her.
"Give it away, she doesn't know how to eat it anyway." Daiyu told her more, and ordered Xingguo to send it.
Xingguo was also clever, Fushen said: "Thank you Miss Wen for the reward."
It made it clear that Wen Ruwan didn't dare to eat Wen Ruyan's food, so if she couldn't say it, she would give it to the people below.But Wen Ruyan, as a big sister, did what she had to do, and she didn't have to say anything mean about a dish of dim sum.
"Aunt Wen will definitely not cheat them on these things." Daiyu's fingers were a little itchy, and she ordered her servants to pick some lotus leaves, and then dig some wet soil on the bank back. She wanted to make beggar chicken.
"My mother wouldn't be so stingy." Wen Ruyan thought about it, it seemed so, but in contrast, she seemed stingy.
"It's just a little food and drink. If you deduct it, you won't save a few taels of silver. It's not worthwhile to spread the word that your aunt is harsh. The most important event in a woman's life is first reincarnation, which cannot be controlled. The second is marriage." Man, your mother is a sensible person and knows how to catch the big and let go of the small."
"My mother found a good family for her. She did it herself. No one can blame her. My mother said that she will never take care of her affairs. Aunt Mei cried to my father every day and let me Father married her daughter who looks like a fairy into a wealthy family to be the head wife."
After speaking, Wen Ruyan was stunned. Could it be that her mother did it on purpose?
Daiyu saw the expression on her face, and said lightly, "If you want to achieve your own goal, but also to silence everyone, you need to spend more brains."
"But what if she agrees?" Wen Ruyan's voice was a little dry.
"If she was so obedient, how could she be like this now. She has determined from the bottom of her heart that no matter what your mother does, she is hurting her." Daiyu smiled lightly and squeezed her hand, "Come on, beggar with me chicken."
Daiyu asked someone to select a few young chickens, slaughtered them and sent them up, stuffed spices in their stomachs, wrapped them with lotus leaves, and then made a mud egg with wet mud, put them in the stove, and baked them over low heat.
Xingguo changed shifts with the little maid at night, Daiyu saw that it was her, and scolded with a smile: "What the hell are you doing?"
"Miss, Miss Wen San is lying." Xingguo said secretly.
"How do you say it?" Daiyu also lowered her voice, leaned forward, and asked quietly.
"Miss San's shoes are not dirty at all, and the uppers of the two maids' shoes are just stained with dust." It hasn't rained these days, only the river has wet mud. If we go, how can there be no wet mud at all? stained.
However, this is also normal, and there is nothing attractive to her by the river, so if she takes a walk, she will be exposed to the sun in vain.She knew that Xingguo must have seen something, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed here to talk to her.
Sure enough, Xingguo's voice sounded again, "I asked the people in the village to ask, but no one saw anyone walking by the river. The servant went for a walk on purpose. On the way back, the third lady, there was a fork in the road." If you make a wrong turn, it will be in the direction of Huangzhuang."
Back from the raspberry-picking road, there was only one fork in the road, and it was so obvious that no one who was not blind would go wrong.Therefore, those who are looking for someone may not go in that direction at all.But Xingguo knew about the third lady, so she turned in the direction of Huangzhuang on purpose.Huangzhuang is the Zhuangzi dedicated to the emperor by Prince Yong. It is said that he often comes to work in the fields and grows food and vegetables by himself.
Daiyu's heart tightened, and Xingguo hurriedly said: "This servant made a special trip and saw that the guards outside Huangzhuang are very tight. This servant thought, even if Miss San walks over, she might not be able to get in."
It would be great if this is the case, Daiyu thought, it seems that she has never heard of anyone coming from Huangzhuang.If someone came, Hong Yun would definitely know the news in advance. Since he didn't know, it would be fine.Thinking of this, she relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day Ulan Gege came over in person and said yesterday's lotus leaf chicken and milk cakes were very delicious, so he came here specially to thank him.Hong Yun was nowhere to be seen behind her, but Ulan didn't mention Hong Yun, but only asked her if she had any wild food to eat.
Daiyu thought for a while, "It's easy to think about the wildness. Wild vegetables must grow very well in this season. Pick some cold salad or stir-fry. Otherwise, go to the river to fish a fish, clean it up and grill it, or slice it into pieces and pickle it with the villagers. It’s also great to add pickles to the soup. It’s salty and fresh, and it’s very appetizing to eat in this season.”
Wu Lan listened, nodded honestly, and gave a blessing, "Thank you, sister Lin, I will talk to you when I am free."
As soon as Ulan left, Daiyu stretched out her hand, and Bailu held her firmly.Feeling the sweat in the palm of the young lady's palm, she also broke out in a cold sweat.Xingguo followed behind them, seeming to be talking to himself, "It's strange, the people behind Ulan Gege are so unruly, it's easy to apply such a strong fragrance powder."
Wen Ruyan ate beggar's chicken yesterday and thought it was unpleasant, so she changed the name to lotus leaf chicken.Today, I asked someone to make a few more, and sent them to Jia Min and Ulan Gege next door as usual, and brought the results they made to Daiyu to offer treasures.
"Have a taste of my apprentice's craft, is it possible to become a master?"
Daiyu has regained her composure, took a sip, and applauded repeatedly.
"Third Miss, there is nothing to do today."
"Be quiet, it seems like a different person suddenly, you don't step out of the gate, what are you doing?" Wen Ruyan also ordered people to guard outside Wen Ruwan's room, and with Daiyu's people, she was absolutely invincible. It was impossible to slip under their noses again without being noticed.
"Let's go fishing in the afternoon." Daiyu suddenly suggested.
"Could it be too tanned?" Wen Ruyan hesitated, it doesn't look good when she gets tanned and married.
"No, I've checked everything. It's under the big tree with shade. Just let the maids catch it. It's just a waste of time for us. Then ask someone to fish for water chestnuts and peel them for us to eat. Raw water chestnuts are delicious." It’s so sweet and tender, you won’t be able to eat such fresh and tender food when you return to the city.”
"It's a good feeling, let's go after the noise." Wen Ruyan slapped her hands and was easily encouraged.
"Leave this news to Miss San, and tell the guards that if Miss San wants to go out, don't stop her, just let someone secretly report to me." It was still cold, but my mood was calmer after all.
The water chestnuts picked up now are very tender and fresh, and Daiyu sent a basket to Ulan Gege.Bai Lu has a steady temperament and is especially suitable for fishing. After a while, there are a few plump and live fish in the fishing basket at her feet.The maid who helped Wen Ruyan fish couldn't catch any of them, so Wen Ruyan laughed at her.The more angry he was, the more he couldn't catch it, so he had no choice but to ask Bai Lu for help, so he didn't have an empty basket to go back.
They have been out for a long time now, looking at the sun is not so poisonous, Wen Ruyan finally dared to step out of the shade of the tree, took Daiyu to see wild flowers and weeds, and heard that sorghum stalks are sweet, so they had to talk about life and death Root up and taste.
"This food tastes sweeter than sugar cane. You can taste it. Don't taste it here. Let the maids take it home, cut it into small pieces, and taste it in the room." Seeing Wen Ruyan, Daiyu asked the damselfly again. Interested, he quickly grabbed her.
"Be careful not to throw yourself into the field, and you will have a mouthful of mud. What are you doing with it? It can't be eaten or raised. Isn't it just to watch? It's flying here, and it doesn't hinder you from watching." Like damselflies Yes, whether it is a butterfly or a dragonfly, there is a layer of naturally formed scales on the wings. After being touched by human hands, the scales are destroyed, and they cannot fly.
You thought you let it go just for fun, but in fact, after you let it go, it will die.Ever since she found out about this, Daiyu had never touched them with her hands.
"Tell me, is there something wrong with Wen Ruwan?" There are farmlands all around, so you can see through it at a glance, so you don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping.By chasing after the damselflies, Wen Ruyan left all the maids behind.
Daiyu was silent for a while, and Wen Ruyan became more and more sure, "You have been restless all afternoon, staring at the intersection all the time, what are you waiting for?"
"Wen Ruwan knew that we were going out in the afternoon, but she didn't come with me. I just thought it was a little strange." Daiyu was not sure if what she thought was right, and she didn't dare to say it casually.
"Brother Hongyun didn't come, what is she doing here?"
"But how would she know that Elder Brother Hongyun won't come?" Daiyu was indeed waiting, but although there was news, it was all gentle and disciplined, and there was no news of even stepping into the door.It's not right, it's just so wrong.
"Yeah, she doesn't know who else is there. According to her personality, she will come over to see and pester us anyway. Why are you so honest? Could it be that she is really sick?" Wen Ruyan quickly let go of her own thoughts Since she was a child, Wen Ruwan liked to say that she was not in good health, but she was really sick and bedridden, almost never.
"If she gets her wish, of course she won't have to go out again." Daiyu finished speaking with some difficulty, hoping that her guess was wrong.
"Fulfill your wish, she, she..." It was clearly summer, but Wen Ruyan felt the cold coming from the bottom of her heart, and a dense layer of white sweat rose from her back.As soon as they grasped Daiyu's hand, the palms of both of them were cold, sweating, sticky and uncomfortable, but no one cared at this time.
"Who is it..." Wen Ruyan's voice had a sense of unreliability.
"I don't know either. These are all my guesses. I think we'd better go back to the city earlier."
"Let's go early." Wen Ruyan's face faded without a trace of blood. Wen Ruwan is her younger sister. No matter what she did, the sisters in their room could not be alone.What's more, it will damage the reputation of all Wen family sisters.
Grandma Wen San has taught her daughter since she was a child, that everyone is prosperous and everyone is damaged.No matter how much you don't like her, you have to have a degree. It doesn't matter if you look at the jokes, but you must not take it lightly when it comes to major issues.She is not good, no one in the family can escape, and everyone will be implicated.
As expected, Wen Ruyan even wanted to kill her when such a big disaster happened at this time.
"En." Daiyu suddenly slid her foot off the field stalk and knelt down, Wen Ruyan was so frightened that she pulled her back with a cry of surprise, and rolled into the field by herself.
"My leg is hurt, you are frightened and have a fever, we will go back to the city tomorrow." Daiyu whispered in her ear, Wen Ruyan's tears fell out suddenly.
When the mother-in-law carried Daiyu back, Jia Min had already received the letter, and the doctor from last time also invited over, and prescribed a prescription for calming the nerves and nourishing the spirit for both of them.
As soon as the doctor left, Ulan Gege got a letter, followed by an imperial doctor. Jia Min's eyes flickered a few times, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't ask anything.
The imperial doctor was used to all kinds of hypocrisy of the nobles, so he re-prescribed a more expensive prescription and left a bottle of wound medicine.
"Fortunately, I didn't hurt the bone, it's just a bruise, and it will heal after a few days of care, and there will be no scars." Hearing that there will be no scars, Jia Min thanked him again and again. The biggest worry.
No one asked why Ulan was able to find an imperial doctor from this place. Anyway, there was no need for Daiyu to act coquettishly, nor for Wen Ruyan to pretend to be sick. Back to the city.
Xingguo also came back and told the lady that Wen Ruwan packed her luggage obediently without any changes.
"The servant feels that Miss San is a bit different from before."
"Why is it different?" Daiyu leaned on the pillow, half lying down and talking to Xingguo, holding a bowl of almond cheese in her hand and slowly drinking it.
"The slave girl dare not say how Miss San is. She only knows that the maid next to her, on the day she first came, yelled at each other one by one, and stuffed the slave with a purse to please her. Since they got lost that day, come back, the two maids are completely different. It's the same, when I look at people, I can't wait to raise my chin to the sky. Let's talk about Miss San, I have heard her snort several times today."
In the past, she would only show weakness and never snort.It's really different, Daiyu thought.
No matter how different it is, handing over the man to the Wen family tomorrow will only give Grandma Wen a headache.
"I can only feel sorry for your mother." When they returned to the city the next day, Jia Min sent them back to Wen's house first. When Wen Ruyan got off the carriage, Daiyu said shyly.
"If you say that, I won't have the face to see you in the future." Wen Ruyan squeezed her hand, and her whole temperament seemed to have changed overnight.
When Daiyu returned home, she found that Hongyun's personal servant, Wenzheng, was already waiting at the door of Lin's house.He stepped forward to salute Daiyu and Jia Min.
"Our master asked the servant to come over to greet Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin, and also asked the servant to tell him that he really can't get away now. If he can get away, he will personally come over and make amends to the two of you."
"Brother Hongyun, you're being polite. What's wrong with him? A man should be busy with serious business. That's what we mean when we escape from the summer heat. Go back quickly, so that your master won't be used by anyone."
Daiyu also nodded, "You just say, we know, let him take care of Ulan Gege."
Wen Zheng rode away on a fast horse, Jia Min took her daughter's hand and said, "Follow me into the house."
"Did you suspect something?" Jia Min cut to the chase.
"Wen Ruwan may have seen someone." Daiyu frowned, thinking of Hong Yun's absence and thinking of the imperial doctor, she felt that the person Wen Ruwan saw should be not simple.
This year is the 60th anniversary of Kangxi, and she does not want any accident to spoil everything now.If someone misunderstood that Wen Ruwan was instigated by the Lin family, wouldn't it be wronged.What's more, the emperor's health should not be good at this time, and suddenly sending a woman, can people stop thinking about it?
"The emperor will never like her like that. Even if your father is stupid, he wouldn't find someone like that to send in." Jia Min spoke directly, making Daiyu jump.
It was rare for Jia Min to see her daughter being frightened, so she laughed happily, "I thought my Daiyu didn't change her face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, so it turns out that she would be scared too."
"Mother..." Daiyu hugged Jia Min, only to begrudgingly.
"I don't blame you. You don't know at a young age. What the Holy Majesty hates the most in his life is the coy, sour and jealous tone. Which one of the favored empresses in the harem is not a bright person, even if there are so many twists and turns in her heart, she can't do it." I only dare to be straight in front of the Holy Master. If anyone else can be seduced by her Xizi, it would be impossible for the Holy Master." Jia Min laughed heartily.
"Why?" Didn't it mean that men are all like this?
"When the first emperor was in power, he was infatuated with Concubine Dong E. How much did the empress suffer at that time? If it hadn't been for the protection of the empress dowager, it would be really... anyway, the sage would not like it." Jia Min didn't say much about this passage, but it was enough to make her Daiyu understands that there is a psychological shadow in the relationship.
The favorite concubine that the late emperor liked was probably weak and helpless, which impressed the young Holy Majesty at that time. When he grew up, such a woman would naturally be out of sight.Others don't know, but Lin Ruhai, as a confidant minister, must have no difficulty in judging such a thing, and it is not difficult for Jia Min to know.
"What if it's someone else?" If it's the fourth master, he shouldn't be suspicious of the Lin family. It's just Aunt Wen's life, and it will be sad in the future.
"If it's someone else, I don't have to be afraid, any backyard is as good as this one or two." After Jia Min finished speaking, Daiyu was completely relieved.
As soon as her daughter left, Jia Min's face immediately collapsed.Although she said it very easily in front of her daughter, she could hear the master's tone during this time, the emperor's temper became more and more serious, and he often lost his temper for no reason.
Anyone who understands medicine knows a little bit that if a person has a disease that cannot be cured, he will have a very angry temper.
Lin Ruhai didn't dare to tell her these words, she figured them out by herself.So, in fact, she is not sure whether the current emperor is still the wise, martial and lenient emperor of the past.
The Wen family exploded on the day Wen Ruwan sneaked out, Third Grandma Wen restrained Aunt Mei.If Jia Min hadn't sent someone to report the letter back to make her feel at ease, she wouldn't have waited for them to come back by themselves, she would have killed them and brought them back.
Once the daughter comes back, she has to wait for her father to come back before she is willing to speak in front of her parents.Third Grandma Wen had no choice but to send someone to the yamen to invite the master back.
Wen Ruyan knelt down suddenly, the couple looked at each other in fright, and went forward to help their daughter up together, "What's wrong?"
"My daughter didn't take good care of my younger sister." Wen Ruyan burst into tears, refusing to get up.
"...My sister said that my father asked her to come and accompany me, so I believed it, and it was even worse to send her home in front of the Lin family, so I had to shyly tell Mrs. Lin that I wanted more playmates. Chuang Tzu, let her rest after the heat is over."
"...I didn't say hello to Mrs. Lin, I went to find her directly, and my words provoked Wulan Gege again. Parents know, how can Ge Ge have a good temper, such a temper as a daughter, she also tried to coax her in front of Ge Ge. She wanted to leave early, because she was accompanied by a maid and the road was close, so her daughter was negligent."
"...When she came back, I realized that I went for a walk by the river. But the people in Zhuangzi said that the people who worked by the river didn't see her at all. The daughter just thought it was because she was thinking too much, but the next day, Miss Lin fell, and Ulan Gege suddenly brought the imperial doctor over. My daughter, my daughter had to think about it. I was afraid that she would offend the nobleman, and the family would not know about it. If there was an accident, there would be no reason for it. I only wish it was my daughter. To measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it is better to think too much."
Third Grandma Wen hugged her daughter in her arms, "My son, your wedding date has been fixed, and Ruyu's marriage has been exchanged for tokens. If something goes wrong, how can I live? There are also those from the eldest brother's family and the second brother's family. , and the Seventh Uncle’s family are all discussing marriage, it’s over, it’s over, this, this...Master, what should we do?"
"You maidservant, as expected, like a mother, like a daughter. The good marriage that Madam arranged for her, she cried all by herself, and she still has the face to blame others." Men are so strange, they can tolerate women seducing themselves , proud of her own charm, but can't stand her daughter doing the same thing.
"Hurry up and find someone to marry her off." Third Master Wen looked at Third Grandma, "It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's not a concubine."
"My lord, I can't do this. It's not being hypocritical, nor is it because I hate her previous appearance. This time, we don't even know what trouble she caused. If we recklessly send her out to marry her, and finally find out that it's inappropriate to be punished, I'll let you go." Someone yelled, can the master afford to lose face like this?"
Third Master Wen sat down slumped, "Let me think about it."
Jia Min also heard about it, and called her daughter over to ask, Daiyu told her story honestly, Jia Min sneered, "It's also thanks to your Aunt Wen who endured it for so long, don't worry, she committed suicide But we can't blame others. The Wen family is full of children and grandchildren, and they can tolerate her misbehavior, besides, the feet grow on her body, and if something happens, we can't blame it on us."
Hearing what she said, Daiyu felt at ease, "Sister Wen is still angry, I'll try to persuade her later."
"Your Aunt Wen just protected her too well, but that's fine." Jia Min saw the jade plaque on her daughter's waist by mistake, and then looked at the cherries on the table, and she smiled inwardly.
"The Thirteenth Lord entrusted Prince Yong to be the matchmaker, and your father has already agreed. But the Thirteenth Lord said that it is inconvenient for him to go out of the house now, and he will wrong you when talking about marriage. I want to wait a little longer. He wants to ask for a discount in a few days." I have the emperor's forgiveness, and I will come out to walk around in a fair manner. Your father said it was okay, but he insisted on doing so for the sake of my son's face." Jia Min patted the back of her daughter's hand, very pleased.
"Yeah." Daiyu snorted softly like a gnat, and hid shyly.
After walking out of the room, he wiped his face, and his shame faded away.In order to pretend to be like everyone else, I was exhausted.After walking a few steps, I saw a servant coming to report that Wen Ruwan had returned.
She hurried over, Wen Ruyan was one step ahead of her, and she heard her roar from a long distance away, "Where have you been, this is someone else's house, there are no rules at all, who did you learn to be so self-willed If you are like this, you might as well go home, so as not to embarrass our Wen family outside."
"Big sister, I don't. I just have chest tightness. I just walked along the river, and I went astray before I knew it." Wen Ruwan was crying pear blossoms with rain. Like a vicious shrew, bullying a weak woman.
Daiyu laughed as soon as she entered the door, "It's good if you come back. Sister Wen, you are really serious. She is here to play, not to go to jail. What's wrong with walking away? It's worth your anger."
After speaking, he looked at Wen Ruwan coldly, "Miss San is tired too, she should rest earlier." After speaking, she dragged Wen Ruyan out.
"Why are you dragging me? It would be nice to take this opportunity to send her back."
"Wouldn't it make her open her mouth to talk nonsense when I send it back?" Daiyu had a headache, it's really not what she would do for a person with a bad brain.
"She dares. Besides, my mother is at home."
"It's because we're not here, and your mother doesn't know what's going on here. I've arranged for two wives to guard them, and they won't leave each other these few days. Hurry up to the kitchen. You promised Ulan Gege's milk pancakes. If you don't send it, she will scold people."
It was only then that Wen Ruyan realized that she boasted that Haikou was going to make Wulan Gege her specialty snacks, so she quickly slapped her head, "I'll go right away."
The finished milk cake was sent to Jia Min, and Bai Lu sent another to Ulan Gege. Daiyu pointed in Wen Ruwan's direction, "Aren't you going to give it to her?"
"I won't give it away, I won't kill her by swallowing it." Wen Ruyan annoyed her almost to death, so why would she give it to her.
"Give it away, she doesn't know how to eat it anyway." Daiyu told her more, and ordered Xingguo to send it.
Xingguo was also clever, Fushen said: "Thank you Miss Wen for the reward."
It made it clear that Wen Ruwan didn't dare to eat Wen Ruyan's food, so if she couldn't say it, she would give it to the people below.But Wen Ruyan, as a big sister, did what she had to do, and she didn't have to say anything mean about a dish of dim sum.
"Aunt Wen will definitely not cheat them on these things." Daiyu's fingers were a little itchy, and she ordered her servants to pick some lotus leaves, and then dig some wet soil on the bank back. She wanted to make beggar chicken.
"My mother wouldn't be so stingy." Wen Ruyan thought about it, it seemed so, but in contrast, she seemed stingy.
"It's just a little food and drink. If you deduct it, you won't save a few taels of silver. It's not worthwhile to spread the word that your aunt is harsh. The most important event in a woman's life is first reincarnation, which cannot be controlled. The second is marriage." Man, your mother is a sensible person and knows how to catch the big and let go of the small."
"My mother found a good family for her. She did it herself. No one can blame her. My mother said that she will never take care of her affairs. Aunt Mei cried to my father every day and let me Father married her daughter who looks like a fairy into a wealthy family to be the head wife."
After speaking, Wen Ruyan was stunned. Could it be that her mother did it on purpose?
Daiyu saw the expression on her face, and said lightly, "If you want to achieve your own goal, but also to silence everyone, you need to spend more brains."
"But what if she agrees?" Wen Ruyan's voice was a little dry.
"If she was so obedient, how could she be like this now. She has determined from the bottom of her heart that no matter what your mother does, she is hurting her." Daiyu smiled lightly and squeezed her hand, "Come on, beggar with me chicken."
Daiyu asked someone to select a few young chickens, slaughtered them and sent them up, stuffed spices in their stomachs, wrapped them with lotus leaves, and then made a mud egg with wet mud, put them in the stove, and baked them over low heat.
Xingguo changed shifts with the little maid at night, Daiyu saw that it was her, and scolded with a smile: "What the hell are you doing?"
"Miss, Miss Wen San is lying." Xingguo said secretly.
"How do you say it?" Daiyu also lowered her voice, leaned forward, and asked quietly.
"Miss San's shoes are not dirty at all, and the uppers of the two maids' shoes are just stained with dust." It hasn't rained these days, only the river has wet mud. If we go, how can there be no wet mud at all? stained.
However, this is also normal, and there is nothing attractive to her by the river, so if she takes a walk, she will be exposed to the sun in vain.She knew that Xingguo must have seen something, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed here to talk to her.

On the way back, the third lady, there was a fork in the road." If you make a wrong turn, it will be in the direction of Huangzhuang."
Back from the raspberry-picking road, there was only one fork in the road, and it was so obvious that no one who was not blind would go wrong.Therefore, those who are looking for someone may not go in that direction at all.But Xingguo knew about the third lady, so she turned in the direction of Huangzhuang on purpose.Huangzhuang is the Zhuangzi dedicated to the emperor by Prince Yong. It is said that he often comes to work in the fields and grows food and vegetables by himself.
Daiyu's heart tightened, and Xingguo hurriedly said: "This servant made a special trip and saw that the guards outside Huangzhuang are very tight. This servant thought, even if Miss San walks over, she might not be able to get in."
It would be great if this is the case, Daiyu thought, it seems that she has never heard of anyone coming from Huangzhuang.If someone came, Hong Yun would definitely know the news in advance. Since he didn't know, it would be fine.Thinking of this, she relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day Ulan Gege came over in person and said yesterday's lotus leaf chicken and milk cakes were very delicious, so he came here specially to thank him.Hong Yun was nowhere to be seen behind her, but Ulan didn't mention Hong Yun, but only asked her if she had any wild food to eat.
Daiyu thought for a while, "It's easy to think about the wildness. Wild vegetables must grow very well in this season. Pick some cold salad or stir-fry. Otherwise, go to the river to fish a fish, clean it up and grill it, or slice it into pieces and pickle it with the villagers. It’s also great to add pickles to the soup. It’s salty and fresh, and it’s very appetizing to eat in this season.”
Wu Lan listened, nodded honestly, and gave a blessing, "Thank you, sister Lin, I will talk to you when I am free."
As soon as Ulan left, Daiyu stretched out her hand, and Bailu held her firmly.Feeling the sweat in the palm of the young lady's palm, she also broke out in a cold sweat.Xingguo followed behind them, seeming to be talking to himself, "It's strange, the people behind Ulan Gege are so unruly, it's easy to apply such a strong fragrance powder."
Wen Ruyan ate beggar's chicken yesterday and thought it was unpleasant, so she changed the name to lotus leaf chicken.Today, I asked someone to make a few more, and sent them to Jia Min and Ulan Gege next door as usual, and brought the results they made to Daiyu to offer treasures.
"Have a taste of my apprentice's craft, is it possible to become a master?"
Daiyu has regained her composure, took a sip, and applauded repeatedly.
"Third Miss, there is nothing to do today."
"Be quiet, it seems like a different person suddenly, you don't step out of the gate, what are you doing?" Wen Ruyan also ordered people to guard outside Wen Ruwan's room, and with Daiyu's people, she was absolutely invincible. It was impossible to slip under their noses again without being noticed.
"Let's go fishing in the afternoon." Daiyu suddenly suggested.
"Could it be too tanned?" Wen Ruyan hesitated, it doesn't look good when she gets tanned and married.
"No, I've checked everything. It's under the big tree with shade. Just let the maids catch it. It's just a waste of time for us. Then ask someone to fish for water chestnuts and peel them for us to eat. Raw water chestnuts are delicious." It’s so sweet and tender, you won’t be able to eat such fresh and tender food when you return to the city.”
"It's a good feeling, let's go after the noise." Wen Ruyan slapped her hands and was easily encouraged.
"Leave this news to Miss San, and tell the guards that if Miss San wants to go out, don't stop her, just let someone secretly report to me." It was still cold, but my mood was calmer after all.
The water chestnuts picked up now are very tender and fresh, and Daiyu sent a basket to Ulan Gege.Bai Lu has a steady temperament and is especially suitable for fishing. After a while, there are a few plump and live fish in the fishing basket at her feet.The maid who helped Wen Ruyan fish couldn't catch any of them, so Wen Ruyan laughed at her.The more angry he was, the more he couldn't catch it, so he had no choice but to ask Bai Lu for help, so he didn't have an empty basket to go back.
They have been out for a long time now, looking at the sun is not so poisonous, Wen Ruyan finally dared to step out of the shade of the tree, took Daiyu to see wild flowers and weeds, and heard that sorghum stalks are sweet, so they had to talk about life and death Root up and taste.
"This food tastes sweeter than sugar cane. You can taste it. Don't taste it here. Let the maids take it home, cut it into small pieces, and taste it in the room." Seeing Wen Ruyan, Daiyu asked the damselfly again. Interested, he quickly grabbed her.
"Be careful not to throw yourself into the field, and you will have a mouthful of mud. What are you doing with it? It can't be eaten or raised. Isn't it just to watch? It's flying here, and it doesn't hinder you from watching." Like damselflies Yes, whether it is a butterfly or a dragonfly, there is a layer of naturally formed scales on the wings. After being touched by human hands, the scales are destroyed, and they cannot fly.
You thought you let it go just for fun, but in fact, after you let it go, it will die.Ever since she found out about this, Daiyu had never touched them with her hands.
"Tell me, is there something wrong with Wen Ruwan?" There are farmlands all around, so you can see through it at a glance, so you don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping.By chasing after the damselflies, Wen Ruyan left all the maids behind.
Daiyu was silent for a while, and Wen Ruyan became more and more sure, "You have been restless all afternoon, staring at the intersection all the time, what are you waiting for?"
"Wen Ruwan knew that we were going out in the afternoon, but she didn't come with me. I just thought it was a little strange." Daiyu was not sure if what she thought was right, and she didn't dare to say it casually.
"Brother Hongyun didn't come, what is she doing here?"
"But how would she know that Elder Brother Hongyun won't come?" Daiyu was indeed waiting, but although there was news, it was all gentle and disciplined, and there was no news of even stepping into the door.It's not right, it's just so wrong.
"Yeah, she doesn't know who else is there. According to her personality, she will come over to see and pester us anyway. Why are you so honest? Could it be that she is really sick?" Wen Ruyan quickly let go of her own thoughts Since she was a child, Wen Ruwan liked to say that she was not in good health, but she was really sick and bedridden, almost never.
"If she gets her wish, of course she won't have to go out again." Daiyu finished speaking with some difficulty, hoping that her guess was wrong.
"Fulfill your wish, she, she..." It was clearly summer, but Wen Ruyan felt the cold coming from the bottom of her heart, and a dense layer of white sweat rose from her back.As soon as they grasped Daiyu's hand, the palms of both of them were cold, sweating, sticky and uncomfortable, but no one cared at this time.
"Who is it..." Wen Ruyan's voice had a sense of unreliability.
"I don't know either. These are all my guesses. I think we'd better go back to the city earlier."
"Let's go early." Wen Ruyan's face faded without a trace of blood. Wen Ruwan is her younger sister. No matter what she did, the sisters in their room could not be alone.What's more, it will damage the reputation of all Wen family sisters.
Grandma Wen San has taught her daughter since she was a child, that everyone is prosperous and everyone is damaged.No matter how much you don't like her, you have to have a degree. It doesn't matter if you look at the jokes, but you must not take it lightly when it comes to major issues.She is not good, no one in the family can escape, and everyone will be implicated.
As expected, Wen Ruyan even wanted to kill her when such a big disaster happened at this time.
"En." Daiyu suddenly slid her foot off the field stalk and knelt down, Wen Ruyan was so frightened that she pulled her back with a cry of surprise, and rolled into the field by herself.
"My leg is hurt, you are frightened and have a fever, we will go back to the city tomorrow." Daiyu whispered in her ear, Wen Ruyan's tears fell out suddenly.
When the mother-in-law carried Daiyu back, Jia Min had already received the letter, and the doctor from last time also invited over, and prescribed a prescription for calming the nerves and nourishing the spirit for both of them.
As soon as the doctor left, Ulan Gege got a letter, followed by an imperial doctor. Jia Min's eyes flickered a few times, but he kept his mouth shut and didn't ask anything.
The imperial doctor was used to all kinds of hypocrisy of the nobles, so he re-prescribed a more expensive prescription and left a bottle of wound medicine.
"Fortunately, I didn't hurt the bone, it's just a bruise, and it will heal after a few days of care, and there will be no scars." Hearing that there will be no scars, Jia Min thanked him again and again. The biggest worry.
No one asked why Ulan was able to find an imperial doctor from this place. Anyway, there was no need for Daiyu to act coquettishly, nor for Wen Ruyan to pretend to be sick. Back to the city.
Xingguo also came back and told the lady that Wen Ruwan packed her luggage obediently without any changes.
"The servant feels that Miss San is a bit different from before."
"Why is it different?" Daiyu leaned on the pillow, half lying down and talking to Xingguo, holding a bowl of almond cheese in her hand and slowly drinking it.
"The slave girl dare not say how Miss San is. She only knows that the maid next to her, on the day she first came, yelled at each other one by one, and stuffed the slave with a purse to please her. Since they got lost that day, come back, the two maids are completely different. It's the same, when I look at people, I can't wait to raise my chin to the sky. Let's talk about Miss San, I have heard her snort several times today."
In the past, she would only show weakness and never snort.It's really different, Daiyu thought.
No matter how different it is, handing over the man to the Wen family tomorrow will only give Grandma Wen a headache.
"I can only feel sorry for your mother." When they returned to the city the next day, Jia Min sent them back to Wen's house first. When Wen Ruyan got off the carriage, Daiyu said shyly.
"If you say that, I won't have the face to see you in the future." Wen Ruyan squeezed her hand, and her whole temperament seemed to have changed overnight.
When Daiyu returned home, she found that Hongyun's personal servant, Wenzheng, was already waiting at the door of Lin's house.He stepped forward to salute Daiyu and Jia Min.
"Our master asked the servant to come over to greet Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin, and also asked the servant to tell him that he really can't get away now. If he can get away, he will personally come over and make amends to the two of you."
"Brother Hongyun, you're being polite. What's wrong with him? A man should be busy with serious business. That's what we mean when we escape from the summer heat. Go back quickly, so that your master won't be used by anyone."
Daiyu also nodded, "You just say, we know, let him take care of Ulan Gege."
Wen Zheng rode away on a fast horse, Jia Min took her daughter's hand and said, "Follow me into the house."
"Did you suspect something?" Jia Min cut to the chase.
"Wen Ruwan may have seen someone." Daiyu frowned, thinking of Hong Yun's absence and thinking of the imperial doctor, she felt that the person Wen Ruwan saw should be not simple.
This year is the 60th anniversary of Kangxi, and she does not want any accident to spoil everything now.If someone misunderstood that Wen Ruwan was instigated by the Lin family, wouldn't it be wronged.What's more, the emperor's health should not be good at this time, and suddenly sending a woman, can people stop thinking about it?
"The emperor will never like her like that. Even if your father is stupid, he wouldn't find someone like that to send in." Jia Min spoke directly, making Daiyu jump.
It was rare for Jia Min to see her daughter being frightened, so she laughed happily, "I thought my Daiyu didn't change her face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, so it turns out that she would be scared too."
"Mother..." Daiyu hugged Jia Min, only to begrudgingly.
"I don't blame you. You don't know at a young age. What the Holy Majesty hates the most in his life is the coy, sour and jealous tone. Which one of the favored empresses in the harem is not a bright person, even if there are so many twists and turns in her heart, she can't do it." I only dare to be straight in front of the Holy Master. If anyone else can be seduced by her Xizi, it would be impossible for the Holy Master." Jia Min laughed heartily.
"Why?" Didn't it mean that men are all like this?
"When the first emperor was in power, he was infatuated with Concubine Dong E. How much did the empress suffer at that time? If it hadn't been for the protection of the empress dowager, it would be really... anyway, the sage would not like it." Jia Min didn't say much about this passage, but it was enough to make her Daiyu understands that there is a psychological shadow in the relationship.
The favorite concubine that the late emperor liked was probably weak and helpless, which impressed the young Holy Majesty at that time. When he grew up, such a woman would naturally be out of sight.Others don't know, but Lin Ruhai, as a confidant minister, must have no difficulty in judging such a thing, and it is not difficult for Jia Min to know.
"What if it's someone else?" If it's the fourth master, he shouldn't be suspicious of the Lin family. It's just Aunt Wen's life, and it will be sad in the future.
"If it's someone else, I don't have to be afraid, any backyard is as good as this one or two." After Jia Min finished speaking, Daiyu was completely relieved.
As soon as her daughter left, Jia Min's face immediately collapsed.Although she said it very easily in front of her daughter, she could hear the master's tone during this time, the emperor's temper became more and more serious, and he often lost his temper for no reason.
Anyone who understands medicine knows a little bit that if a person has a disease that cannot be cured, he will have a very angry temper.
Lin Ruhai didn't dare to tell her these words, she figured them out by herself.So, in fact, she is not sure whether the current emperor is still the wise, martial and lenient emperor of the past.
The Wen family exploded on the day Wen Ruwan sneaked out, Third Grandma Wen restrained Aunt Mei.If Jia Min hadn't sent someone to report the letter back to make her feel at ease, she wouldn't have waited for them to come back by themselves, she would have killed them and brought them back.
Once the daughter comes back, she has to wait for her father to come back before she is willing to speak in front of her parents.Third Grandma Wen had no choice but to send someone to the yamen to invite the master back.
Wen Ruyan knelt down suddenly, the couple looked at each other in fright, and went forward to help their daughter up together, "What's wrong?"
"My daughter didn't take good care of my younger sister." Wen Ruyan burst into tears, refusing to get up.
"...My sister said that my father asked her to come and accompany me, so I believed it, and it was even worse to send her home in front of the Lin family, so I had to shyly tell Mrs. Lin that I wanted more playmates. Chuang Tzu, let her rest after the heat is over."
"...I didn't say hello to Mrs. Lin, I went to find her directly, and my words provoked Wulan Gege again. Parents know, how can Ge Ge have a good temper, such a temper as a daughter, she also tried to coax her in front of Ge Ge. She wanted to leave early, because she was accompanied by a maid and the road was close, so her daughter was negligent."
"...When she came back, I realized that I went for a walk by the river. But the people in Zhuangzi said that the people who worked by the river didn't see her at all. The daughter just thought it was because she was thinking too much, but the next day, Miss Lin fell, and Ulan Gege suddenly brought the imperial doctor over. My daughter, my daughter had to think about it. I was afraid that she would offend the nobleman, and the family would not know about it. If there was an accident, there would be no reason for it. I only wish it was my daughter. To measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it is better to think too much."
Third Grandma Wen hugged her daughter in her arms, "My son, your wedding date has been fixed, and Ruyu's marriage has been exchanged for tokens. If something goes wrong, how can I live? There are also those from the eldest brother's family and the second brother's family. , and the Seventh Uncle’s family are all discussing marriage, it’s over, it’s over, this, this...Master, what should we do?"
"You maidservant, as expected, like a mother, like a daughter. The good marriage that Madam arranged for her, she cried all by herself, and she still has the face to blame others." Men are so strange, they can tolerate women seducing themselves , proud of her own charm, but can't stand her daughter doing the same thing.
"Hurry up and find someone to marry her off." Third Master Wen looked at Third Grandma, "It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's not a concubine."
"My lord, I can't do this. It's not being hypocritical, nor is it because I hate her previous appearance. This time, we don't even know what trouble she caused. If we recklessly send her out to marry her, and finally find out that it's inappropriate to be punished, I'll let you go." Someone yelled, can the master afford to lose face like this?"
Third Master Wen sat down slumped, "Let me think about it."
