In the scorching summer, the cicadas in the yard are screaming, and the tall and dense plane trees can't stop the roiling heat wave.
Yin Yuehan was wearing a thin Tianshui Bisu Luo sleeved gown, and was lazily lying on the Huanghuali chaise longue, while three maidservants waited on her at the same time, one beating her legs and the other shaking a fan. Another big maid named Shaoyao was carefully picking fresh lychees with her orchid fingers. She not only peeled the skins, but also picked out the seeds inside with silver chopsticks, and handed them to Yin Yuehan's mouth.
Yin Yuehan opened her cherry mouth slightly, biting the white, tender and plump lychee meat into her mouth, the sweet and fresh taste filled her mouth instantly, and her eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly, making the already pretty face even more vivid.
Shaoyao's hands were sharp, and her mouth did not rest, "Auntie, these Chen Zi lychees are the most precious. Every year, the mansion gets one or two baskets, and most of them are given to our courtyard by Lord Hou. Madam's courtyard Not half as much as us.”
Mother Li came in from outside the house, just in time to hear this, she said mockingly: "Let's not say that Lord Hou dotes on our aunt the most, whoever makes our Indus Garden have more people, the proportion is naturally more than the one alone over there some."
After the words fell, the other maids laughed softly, their eyes not hiding the contempt in their hearts. A hen that can't lay eggs, even if it occupies the main room, it's just a joke.
Yin Yuehan raised her red mouth slightly, making no secret that she was very pleased with these words. The Indus Garden is full of her people, and the words that flatter her stepping on the royal family are not afraid of being spread, even if spread, it will not do anything to her.
The wife of the wife, Wei Yuhua, has never had anything to do, but Yin Yuehan has two sons and a daughter. Although she is a concubine, she has overwhelmed Wei Yuhua because of her stomach. Coupled with the fact that the Wei family has declined day by day over the years, while the Yin family has been thriving, and there is also a concubine Yin Xian who gave birth to a dragon son, Yin Yuehan is now full of confidence.
"You little hoofs are becoming more and more outrageous. You are used to sprinkling salt on other people's wounds. If others listen to it, you will not be able to eat it." Yin Yuehan reprimanded lightly, but her tone was soft, and there was a hint of it smile.
Seeing this, Shao Yao became bolder, "The servants are all telling the truth, even if it spreads out, we are not the ones who are ashamed."
Mama Li winked, the little maids understood and retreated silently, while Shao Yao and Shangmen stood guard at the door.
Li's mother lowered her voice and whispered in Yin Yuehan's ear: "Auntie, that kid will arrive in the capital in two days."
Yin Yuehan opened her eyes abruptly, her beautiful eyes were as cold as a cold pool, "Don't act rashly, that woman is waiting for me to catch my fault."
"But if that kid really enters the mansion to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan, it will be even more difficult for us to do it. I thought that brother Su's title was very secure, but who would have thought that such a person would be killed suddenly." Li's mother was annoyed. She is Yin Yuehan's nanny And cronies, her life will be easy only if the master takes care of her.
Yin Yuehan frowned and snorted coldly, "That woman likes to do things that hurt others and benefit herself, so what if she brings that kid back, how can she have a heart with her stepmother at such an age? She will undoubtedly admit that she is just a child when she brings him back. Step-wife, she has to behave like me as a concubine in front of the tablet of the original spouse!"
However, Yin Yuehan suppressed the anger in her heart after a breath, "Let's just wait and see, how can a dead person come back to life? This must have something to do with her, Wei Yuhua, it's hard to say whether she borrowed strength or caused the fire. We don't need to join in at this time to let her fisherman benefit."
Mother Li bowed her head and bowed her head very respectfully, "Yes, Auntie is still thinking clearly. Brother Su, Brother Jun, and Sister Ning were all raised by Lord Hou, and their relationship must be extraordinary. How can it be compared to a country boy who didn't know where he came from. That boy has been in the country for many years and probably doesn't know a single word. The Marquis hates stupid people with empty stomachs the most. The future is unknown. We really shouldn't It messed up."
Yin Yuehan calmed down a lot after hearing this, "Send someone to watch, don't let that woman take advantage of it. Hmph, I want to see who is more troublesome to lure wolves into the house!"
Qiurongyuan.
"Ma'am, why did your complexion become so bad?" Fang's mother was startled when she saw the haggard Wei Yuhua.
The eldest maid, Huamei sighed, "Madam can't sleep well at night these days, and can't eat anything."
Mother Fang sighed, "Ma'am, since you have decided to take this move, don't think about it anymore."
Wei Yuhua's face was full of distress, and he touched his stomach, "If it's not that my stomach is not up to snuff, otherwise why would I have to endure these pains!"
She clearly knew that doing this was drinking poison to quench her thirst, but she had no choice but to leave. If she could give birth to a son and a half, she would not be in such an embarrassing situation.
Today's official family has few heirs, only the prince and the second prince from Concubine Yin Xian. The prince has always been weak and sickly, it can be said that his life is hanging by medicine, and he is not the first choice of the crown prince. Helplessly, there was only this son in the official family before, so the position of prince fell to him. But now that Concubine Yin Xian, Yin Yuehan's direct sister, gave birth to a lively and healthy second prince, many people began to have other thoughts in their hearts.
Now that the Yin family is rising, Yin Yuehan, who is the daughter of the Yin family's prostitute, is willing to be just a concubine. Although the law stipulates that concubines are not allowed to be wives, there are exceptions to everything, and such precedents are not without exception. If Wei Yuhua had a child, he would not worry about it. No matter how bad their Wei family was, they would not let anyone bully them, but she had nothing to do. If it hadn't been for Master Hou's nostalgia, he would have divorced her long ago.
Wei Yuhua was clearly a noble wife, but he was overwhelmed by a concubine's room. If Yin Yuehan's son inherits the title in the future, she will definitely be kicked out. Especially after Concubine Yin Xian gave birth to the dragon son, Wei Yuhua felt even more uneasy, and had no choice but to remember the son of Wen Yuanhou's original wife who disappeared back then. Knowing that this will not help, the child is already fifteen years old and it is difficult to have one heart with her, but as long as she can suppress Yin Yuehan a little, she is willing to do it!
Having said that, Wei Yuhua felt uneasy. If she hadn't turned a blind eye to conceal what happened back then, she wouldn't have allowed the child to live outside for fifteen years. If the child found out, he would probably hate her to the bone, or attract a tiger if the wolf didn't drive her away.
"That kid is almost arriving in the capital now, and it's useless to think about it. It's better to cheer up and think about how to join hands with him to deal with the one in Wutong Garden."
Wei Yuhua frowned, "That kid is so old now, and I feel ashamed of him, how could he obediently listen to me."
Mother Fang's eyes flickered, and she whispered something in Wei Yuhua's ear, Wei Yuhua suddenly opened her eyes and exclaimed, "This... this..."
Fang's mother shook her head, Wei Yuhua quickly swallowed the words that had come to her lips, but Da Xia's whole body was chilling.
Fang's mother hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the old slave's work, Madam, there will be no mistakes."
Wei Yuhua's heart was in a mess, and he couldn't calm down after walking back and forth in the room for a long time.
Seeing this, Mother Fang couldn't help sighing, "Mrs. Ruo..."
Wei Yuhua raised his hand to interrupt, and said bitterly: "No matter how bad it is, how bad it can be, as long as you can suppress Yin Yuehan's arrogance, all these thoughts will not be in vain!"
Mother Fang immediately smiled, "Ma'am, it's good if you can figure it out! Ma'am, you are too soft-hearted, otherwise you wouldn't let you be so arrogant. Now that you are kind to the young master and have a magic weapon in your hand, you are afraid that he will not be obedient Obedient? Besides, if he wants to gain a foothold in this mansion, he can only rely on you, Madam, he and that bastard are the real rivals."
The sunset glows, and the west is like a picture. Several horses and carriages galloping on the official road stop in front of a post station.
"Young master, it's getting late. Let's stay in this post house today, and then leave for Beijing tomorrow." Zhou Tong walked to the carriage and said respectfully.
A big shiny round head protruded from the carriage, and then quickly jumped out of the carriage. A look at his face made people's eyes shine. This person is about fourteen or fifteen years old. He is very handsome. With a bald head, his eyes are brighter and cleaner. Standing in the dusty crowd, he is very dazzling. He straightened his clothes, and said with a serious face: "Amitabha, please also ask Benefactor Zhou to call the poor monk Yuanhui, so as not to embarrass each other by mistake."
Zhou Tong smiled and was noncommittal. This topic was repeated countless times along the way, but in the end Zhou Tong still didn't change his title, and Yuan Hui sighed and stopped arguing.
Maybe it's because of the proximity to the capital, the inn here is better than the previous ones, although it's not big, but every item is very delicate and exquisite. Yuan Hui didn't show that she went into the house alone to eat vegetarian food like before, and Amitabha, who was still pretending to be serious when he saw the meat dishes, chanted scriptures silently, with a look of compassion.
As soon as the door was closed, Yuan Hui was sure that there was no one outside, so her whole face fell down, and she kept hitting the table with her bald head, "I really want to eat meat, I really want to eat meat, I really want to eat meat!"
After venting for a while, Yuan Hui should be eating steamed buns and vegetarian dishes solemnly and resignedly. The taste of the food was not bad. For Zhuang Zhuang who was hungry, it was a bit painful to have no meat, but it was not a big deal. I just mourned that the pretending monk had no meat to eat.
Zhuang Zhong has never had much meat since he came to this world. He had no conditions before, but now he has to put on a show.
Zhuangzhuang finished his meal, took another hot bath, lay on the bed and stroked the Buddhist bead chain on his wrist, feeling very complicated, "Yuanjue, we are going to the capital, I don't know what will greet me there. I I will definitely find the real culprit who killed you, and I won't let you die in vain." Zhuang Zhong clenched his fists and looked solemn.
Thinking of the face that always had a simple and honest smile, the corners of Zhuang Zhuang's eyes were wet unconsciously. Yuanjue is his dearest person in this world. Before that, the two of them had discussed that they would return to secular life together. They also planned to open a small restaurant where they ate meat every day until they vomited. But now he is the only one left, and his future is bleak.
Zhuang Zhong didn't know what force was brought to this world that has not been recorded in history, and it has shrunk a lot. That day, there was a murder case on a mountain in the suburbs of the city, and Zhuang Zhong passed by carrying his things. The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and then a gust of wind blew him over and knocked him away. When he woke up again, he was already in this inexplicable place.
After running around for several days, the shock absorption of the carriage was terrible. His waist and back ached all over his body, and he fell asleep not long after. Zhuang Zhong was dreaming that he and Yuan Jue were trying to catch a pheasant, but they ran into a tiger and ran desperately, only to be woken up by a violent knock on the door.
