Second princess, are you crazy? Mrs. Gao was very surprised. I knew that this person was supercilious when she was a girl, but she became a princess and concubine to such an extent? This is a literary conference chaired by Cheng Jia and Wang Xuanzhi, it is inappropriate for you to get all these female relatives to come here, and you are still beating their servants in their territory, and now you are going to take these unmarried women to the man's territory
Do not! Absolutely can't be with this kind of neuropathy! Mrs. Gao stopped in her tracks, and held her daughter's hand by the way, and waited for those girls who couldn't hold back their spring hearts to follow Wang Huilan in a mighty way, before looking at Cheng Yuqin and the others in the room who were also looking very bad.
The woman in charge helped Bai Wei up and asked, "Miss Bai, are you alright?"
Bai Wei shook her head, and said to a green-clothed maid: "Go to the storeroom to get the veil, and ask Brother Wang and the others to help put it up." The masters have a purpose for this essay meeting today, and it's only halfway through now. It must not be disturbed by this.
The maids responded and ran out to get ready.
Mrs. Yang nodded to the woman in charge who was looking over, indicating that she would follow Bai Wei's instructions, and the woman in charge ran with her people to help.
There are four courtyards for the female relatives, all of which are arranged with places for music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Some quiet girls are always with the girls they know well. When they heard that Wang Huilan took people to the place where the Qushui flows, they all felt very inconceivable. , could only shake his head, and then stayed in the yard to comment on the poems passed down from the Qushui Liushang.
"I don't think it's interesting to go to their literary conferences. I'll go and see Mrs. Yang." Yang smiled at Cheng Yuqin.
"So, let's go together." The veil in Cheng Yuqin's hand was almost crushed, and she said with a smile on her face.
Su Wanyun and Mei Ruoxue also agreed repeatedly, Mrs. Gao took the opportunity to say to go and see together, originally wanted to take her daughter to see the appearance of ladies who are different from those in the noble circle, well, this is not as good as going there, okay!
Several people asked the maids to ask those younger sisters if they wanted to go, Fan Zheng's second younger sister and Mei Ruoxue's husband's two younger sisters agreed to follow her sister-in-law, only Fan Zheng's third younger sister left with Wang Huilan.
A group of people was led by a servant girl along the path, bypassing the noisy place where the winding water flows, and arrived at the corner door of the wall. They called the door, and it was revealed that it was Mrs. Fan Yang's, and the door opened on the opposite side, and another servant girl led the way.
Compared with the guards over there where people come and go, this side is much colder. Walking all the way, basically no one can be seen, but the scenery on both sides is really good. A few people walked and watched, and gradually dissipated the anger in their hearts. , Waiting to see the waterside pavilion by the lake, long wooden windows, surrounded by promenades, facing a lake of remnants of lotus, a row of weeping willows planted, and all kinds of flowers blooming just right, the breeze blowing through, blowing the veils everywhere , Piao Miao seems not like the world.
"It's really a good place." Su Wanyun said with a smile.
Ling Qingyu woke up late today, seeing Xie Sanlang blushing, he knew that he must have made some strange remarks after getting drunk yesterday, he just pretended not to remember, but when Xie Sanlang asked what the red card cowherd meant At the time, Ling Qingyu sprayed directly, and then asked, who did she call this? Xie Sanlang answered happily, Cheng Jia was the first to be pulled, and then Su Mu. When it came to Yingjiu being pulled, Ling Qingyu directly called to stop, and then explained in a very serious way, Niulang, As the name suggests, she is a man who herds cattle. She just wanted to eat beef last night.
In order to get rid of that curious baby Xie Sanlang, Ling Qingyu went directly to Shuixie to eat, and asked Xie Sanlang to guard his yard. There are so many people today, so don't let thieves steal things.
After the meal, Ling Qingyu, who was still sore from being blown by the wind, crawled on the soft couch and didn't want to move anymore. Knowing that Yan Qi sacrificed himself in the end, and looking at the soreness of his body, one can imagine how torturing people last night up.
God! Niulang, I don't know how Cheng Jia would look if he knew what this meant
Ling Qingyu climbed on the soft couch and let Ying Jiu massage his waist until he fell asleep. He heard the voice of Ye Po and Ying Shisan whispering back outside, and then he came back to his senses.
"Thirteen, what's the matter?" Ling Qingyu asked lazily, lifting her body from Yingjiu's lap.
Ying Shisan paused, then walked into the waterside pavilion, and said, "Wang Huilan beat Bai Wei, saying that she didn't prepare for the female guests' essay meeting."
"Slapped Bai Wei!" Ling Qingyu immediately became angry, got up and was about to get off the soft couch, but was pulled by Ying Jiu, and Ying Shisan asked: "What are you going to do?" "Call back!" Ling Qingyu said bitterly .
"It won't make her feel better. Don't do it yourself. It will hurt if you hit someone." Ying Shisan pulled her hand and pushed her back on the soft couch. Looking at the woman who was so anxious to get up that she sprained her waist again. Ling Qingyu, whose mouth was split to one side, laughed.
Ling Qingyu rubbed her waist and sat down helplessly, her reason came back a little because of the pain, she had already lent Cheng Jia, even if she was in the top, Cheng Jia should be in the top, if she was in the top, it would be unreasonable, just aggrieved!
When Night Breeze came to report that the Yang family and the others had come, Ling Qingyu had regained his composure, so he asked Sum to bring all the gifts he had prepared, and then called a maid to serve in the waterside pavilion.
Ying Jiu rubbed her waist again, seeing that the group of people were not far away, Fang and Ying Shisan disappeared into the dark.
When Yang's group arrived, the waterside pavilion had been replaced by the remaining ten green-clothed maidservants, someone from a distance raised the gauze curtain of the waterside pavilion, and invited them in with a salute.
Although it is only one of the recreational waterside pavilions by the lake, the area is not small, and the furnishings are more comfortable and luxurious than those of their main halls.
Unlike ordinary waterside pavilions, the wooden floor here is covered with thick furs, and a row of soft couches are placed along the window by the lake, and the soft couches are also covered with soft furs. On the other side is a row of huanghuali chairs, a large desk, and a row of bookshelves in the corner. There are several tall and exquisite porcelain vases next to them. Some scrolls are randomly placed in the vases, and the incense burner of suet white jade Inside, the fragrance is curling up, and the wide-open windows send in a few wisps of fragrance with the wind, and the fragrance is refreshing.
Ling Qingyu was sitting on the soft couch, when she saw a few people coming in, she hurriedly stood up, welcomed them in and sat down, then returned to the soft couch and sat down.
Mrs. Yang's daughter and Mrs. Gao's daughter are about the same age, and they are even more cute. Ling Qingyu looked left and right, then picked up the purse that was placed next to her, stuffed it one by one, and then took off the purse in her hand. The jade bracelet and a hairpin on her head were given to three girls.
The three girls looked at their sister-in-law with fear on their faces, and seeing her nodding, Fang dared to take it, and was even more astonished in her heart. The two pairs of jade bracelets were both excellent jadeite, with a lot of water, and the hairpin was even more beautiful. It is carved from top-quality white jade, which is extremely expensive. Regardless of the price, even rich people may not be able to buy this quality. Thinking of the familiarity between my sister-in-law and Mrs. Yang just now, I know that this is because of my sister-in-law's face. Standing behind my sister-in-law.
After the bracelets on her hands were taken off, Ling Qingyu only wore a string of pearl bracelets on her wrists, and only a pair of white silk flowers on her hair, matched with her plain Tsing Yi, she really looked like a woman.
Su Wanyun felt a little sore in her heart, just about to say something, Cheng Yuqin had already opened her mouth, talking about some of the proud works from the literary conference over there.
Hearing the poems and prose written by Cheng Jia and Wang Xuanzhi, Ling Qingyu was still a little shocked. These two are indeed talented people! Hearing what other people are doing, she nods secretly. Although she looks down on those sour scholars, there are indeed some talents here, and there are indeed people who care about the country and the people and want to do things. The ancients used poems to express their feelings, Some can be seen from these poems.
After talking about poetry and fu, Yang also mentioned the management of the store. After Su Wanyun Cheng Yuqin and Mei Ruoxue got married, they knew the hard work of running the house and the importance of money. Mrs. Gao is the wife of the housekeeper. Also go along with it.
Ling Qingyu smiled and exchanged experience with Yang, and at the same time told them how to make money in a disguised form, and provided them with opportunities to make money. The Ling family has a lot of shops, and they don't care about opening a few more with them, but for those who live in the back house and have to rely on these money to survive, it is an unexpected benefit.
Instigated the three younger sisters and three daughters to let the maids accompany them to visit a bigger and more beautiful garden, and the remaining wives began to discuss how to open a shop without hesitation.
Ling Qingyu listed a few industries that are quick to pay, and will not be too affected even if the capital city government in the future, explain each of them, and then let them choose by themselves. Yes, the management belongs to the Ling family.
With such a condition, Mrs. Gao knew that she was well worth it, and she took a high look at Mrs. Yang in her heart.
As soon as the store was divided, a servant girl hurried in and whispered in Ling Qingyu's ear: "Master, some young ladies rushed over directly."
"Break?" Ling Qingyu asked in surprise.
"Yes," seeing that Ling Qingyu didn't evade, the servant girl replied directly: "At that time, Sister Luyi just came to get something, and they pushed the door open."
"Is this something that our lady did?" Ling Qingyu looked at Mrs. Yang with a look of surprise. Seeing that they were completely incomprehensible, she got up and said, "I'll go and see."
While walking out, Ling Qingyu said, "Tell Shiliuye and Wang Zuo not to make a move."
Several people were a little surprised. Mrs. Gao walked behind, only felt the flowers and leaves beside her move slightly, and knew that there were not only these maidservants here, maybe like her own mansion, there were also hidden guards and shadow guards, she said not to make a move, I'm afraid that these hidden guards should not make a move.
With a smile in her heart, Mrs. Gao waved to her daughter and followed behind, which was interesting.
Seeing the group of people rushing straight towards the waterside pavilion, Ye Fei slowly drew out her long sword and was about to show herself. Before her body moved, her hands were held down, and Ying Shisan said in a low voice: "Everyone do not move."
"But." Ye Fei looked back puzzled, and saw that Ying Thirteen and Ying Jiu Yepo had already stood in their positions, and the rest of the Yemen also retreated.
"They're all female relatives, so it's hard to explain when we go out to take charge of the house." After Ying Shisan whispered, he pulled Ye Fei back into shape.
"Hey, where did this robber come from? No one came to rob me, a **** who bullied me, right?" Ling Qingyu said loudly after walking a few steps quickly.
The Miss Wu family who was walking in the front stopped suddenly, and then looked back at Wang Huilan.
"Why, I can't come to your place?" Wang Huilan asked with a dark face.
"Who are you?" Ling Qingyu asked so that Wang Huilan almost vomited blood.
"Bold! How dare you be so rude when you see the second concubine without showing respect!" Fu Xiyan stepped forward.
"Who are you? This is Mrs. Dingguo's mansion. I am Mrs. Yipin. Who do you want me to salute? Who do you say is rude?" After listening to the maid's explanation, Ling Qingyu's expression began to change. Fu Xiyan glanced up and down, and said with a sneer: "It's still the great-granddaughter of the Taifu, that's how she taught you etiquette? The number one talented woman in Bianjing? What kind of talent? A waste of firewood?"
Ignoring Fu Xiyan, whose face suddenly turned into a pig's liver, Ling Qingyu turned to look at Wang Huilan, and said, "Why, what serious crime did my Yang family commit? Let the second princess come to arrest me and plead guilty?"
Wang Huilan's complexion began to turn dark. If she was only concerned about rank, her rank would not be higher than that of the first-rank princess. The reason is that she is the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and she may be the queen in the future. The lady-in-law also respected her three points, but unexpectedly, someone dared to contradict her face to face.
"My wife is now a widow in the mansion, living a clean life. I don't remember inviting you, what? Where did you break in from? What exactly do you want!" Ling Qingyu yelled angrily.
"Mrs. Yang, we just want to come and take a look because we just see the beautiful scenery here." Miss Wen Jia took a step forward and said with a smile.
"The palace has a better view, and it's where the second concubine lives. Why don't you go there? What? Bullying my Yang family, right?" Ling Qingyu sneered.
Yang surreptitiously wiped off her sweat, and took two steps back secretly. What Wang Huilan did was indeed unethical, but Ling Qingyu's counterattack was too lenient, but it was really cool to watch.
"Bold! Can you say anything about the royal family!" the maid next to Wang Huilan stepped forward and shouted loudly.
"It's just to come and see this garden. Why, it's still not finished. Don't forget, since the court can reward you with this garden, it can naturally take it back. What are you? How dare you show off in front of me?! "New hatred and old hatred are together, Wang Huilan said angrily with a sullen face.
"No matter what, I am the Duke's wife bestowed by the imperial court. If I am something, then what are you, the second princess?" Ling Qingyu couldn't help but sullen, looked at Wang Huilan with a mocking face, and asked.
"How courageous! Give me a slap!" Wang Huilan shouted angrily.
The two court ladies next to him immediately stepped forward, one was ready to arrest the other and the other raised his hand to beat him.
"Stop!" Mrs. Gao and Cheng Yuqin shouted at the same time.
Under the reflection of the sun, there is a cold light between the crowns of the flowers and trees.
Then it was stopped by a crisp slap.
Ling Qingyu blocked the maid's hand with one hand, and slapped her back with the other hand, then raised her foot and put it on another maid's lap, and knelt down on the ground, Turning around, he slapped the stunned maid on the face again, and then raised her foot to put it on the kneeling maid.
She even beat and kicked, which stunned the ladies. When they recovered, one of the two maids had their faces swollen and bleeding from the corners of their mouths, and the other was kicked and rolled on the ground.
"You, you, you! You want to rebel!" Wang Huilan exclaimed.
"Cut, it's so easy to rebel?" Ling Qingyu withdrew his hand, shook the hand that hurt from the beating, and then moved his lower leg, ouch, it hurts! Turning his eyes and then his tone, Ling Qingyu whimpered, took out a handkerchief and began to wipe the corners of his eyes, half-crying and half-crying: "What? My husband died in battle for the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his widow can let you bully him at will?!"
"What are you doing!" Her demeanor changed so quickly, Wang Huilan hadn't recovered before she heard an angry shout, and her face changed.
"See First Prince, join Second Prince." Mrs. Gao took the lead, and everyone bowed their heads in salute.
Only Ling Qingyu pretended not to see it, covered his face with a handkerchief and cried loudly: "Husband! Why didn't you take me with you? You left me here to be bullied!"
"Madam Yang!" The eldest prince took a few steps, gave Ling Qingyu a little help, and said, "Madam, don't be sad, I will definitely not allow such things to happen, may I ask Madam to tell me what happened?"
Ling Qingyu turned sideways, covered his face, the white flowers on his head trembled slightly, and cried in a low voice: "I don't know what happened, this lady rushed over with the ladies over there, and then, then, insulted For me, he said that the imperial court was going to take this mansion back and drive me out. And let these two people come and beat me!"
Glancing at the two colorful maids who were beaten, the first prince was silent for a moment, turned around with a serious face and said to the second prince: "Second brother!"
The second prince's face was already comparable to that of pot ashes, and he whispered to Wang Huilan, "Go back!"
Tears suddenly appeared in Wang Huilan's eyes, she raised her eyes timidly to look at the second prince, and then realized that it wasn't just the first prince and the second prince who came, Cheng Jia, Wang Xuanzhi, Fan Zheng and others were also standing aside with livid faces, even if she No matter how stupid you are, you know it's not good.
She took those ladies to the place where the water flows. Some women and maidservants have drawn the veil between the male guests and them, and then arranged seats downstream. Get up and go back to the female guest's yard to play chess and chat with those who stayed in the yard, but Fu Xiyan and the others made up their minds to show off their talents, so they followed her and sat on the seats, but after a few rounds of drinking , the second prince sent someone to tell her that if she wanted her to take her away, it was a national policy for the talented people above them, so what is it if you get some young ladies to sing poems that mourn the spring and autumn? Doing things in the backyard is called elegant and interesting, but if you put it among a group of talented men, it really makes people want to laugh. In fact, many people are already laughing in private.
In desperation, I had no choice but to take these talented women to the garden, but most of the gardens on this side were reserved for the men, and there was not much room for them to visit. When they saw the corner door opened, some people said that it was the mansion of the Duke of Anguo. The garden is unique, I don't know how it is now, Wang Huilan is in a bad mood, and she has always been arrogant and domineering, so she didn't think much about it, asked someone to open the door, and rushed over. Seeing that the scenery here is indeed very good, and there are several exquisite water pavilions by the lake, I thought about going to take a rest, but there was no one on the road, so I walked over directly.
who knows…
The second prince was so angry that his liver ached. This cousin was indeed beautiful, which made him very tempted at first, but now he regretted it even more. Why did he listen to his mother and marry such a stupid woman who has nothing but appearance! Once Mrs. Yang's words spread today, if others don't say it, the people in Heishuiguan will definitely quit, and these scholars will criticize him even more. I'm afraid that the reputation he has built up with great difficulty will suddenly drop. Who is Yang Zhao? That is the hero that is respected all over the country now! His widow was treated like this before his bones were cold, so who would dare to go to the battlefield
Ling Qingyu cast his eyes, and then cried loudly: "Husband, I'm not going to live anymore!" After saying that, he rushed towards the lake, and under the terrified eyes of everyone, he jumped directly into the lake, and resolutely followed through The image of a loyal and loyal martyr.
"Ma'am!" The green-clothed maids screamed loudly, and the one who knew how to swim immediately jumped into the water. Just as he got used to the light below, he saw the head of the house smiling at her under the water, and then pointed to the side. , the servant girl also swam to the side knowingly, and landed on the shore as if she was saving the Lord in a place where no one could see.
The servant girls rushed over immediately, and Su Wanyun and the three also ran over worriedly. Yang Shi and Mrs. Gao saw it, and immediately brought their own daughter and ran over to express their concern. Only Wang Huilan and the girl she brought were left here. A dozen talented women.
"Your Highness, we should take our leave first." Cheng Jia stepped forward to salute.
"Yeah, let's go first." The eldest prince had a gentle tone, but his eyes were full of mocking glances at the second prince, and he took his people away.
The second prince also left in a huff, only thinking in his heart to go back and find the counselor to see how to deal with the aftermath, the best thing is to get rid of this idiot.
When Wang Huilan followed the second prince and left in a desperate manner, Cheng Jia glanced coldly at the remaining ladies, snorted contemptuously, then turned around and left, saying at the same time: "Send these When people go back, help me ask their father and brother if they have taught them the most basic etiquette."
