"Who is this person who dares to attack the prince?" Xiaocao asked curiously.
"His surname is Fan, his given name is Wuguo, and he is the only son of Princess Fukang...." Wen Renying gave Xiaocao a thorough introduction to this tyrant, from his family background to his temperament. The meaning was very clear: if you meet him by chance, you should stay as far away from him as possible.
The character of the young master Fan Wuguo was not the focus of Xiaocao's attention. "So, just because the child has defects, the father doesn't expect anything from him. Is it enough to be flawless? What a filthy thing."
There is no need to know more about this kind of thing. No matter how outstanding and good Prince Consort Fan is in other aspects, Xiaocao has a negative impression of him. On the contrary, as for the notorious young master, I have never met him, so I will not comment on him.
Han and Wen Renying were both stunned when they heard Xiao Cao's words, as if they didn't quite understand what he meant.
Xiao Cao smiled a little coldly, "Does Prince Consort Fan have many concubines and children?"
Han already vaguely knew what her daughter was thinking, and she also revealed a mocking smile, "That's only natural, Princess Fukang can't have another child, and even if she can, I'm afraid she'll give birth to another bad child. Prince Consort Fan can't be left without a successor, no matter what, he's right."
"So there was the first one. Perhaps he felt a little guilty towards Princess Fukang. Then there was the second one. Since he already had this one, one more would not matter. Didn't the Princess say anything? Then there were the third and fourth ones. He felt more and more at ease with them. In the final analysis, it was just the bad nature of men. He even acted as if he was wronged."
"Ying'er, is this something a girl like you should say? Where did you learn this from?"
As if she accidentally exposed something, Wen Renying lowered her head and pretended to be good, secretly glancing at Xiaocao. Her fourth sister is also a girl. Well, the fourth sister is different, so don't compare her with the fourth sister.
As a doctor, even if he is younger, he knows everything that he shouldn't know.
"So, filth, dirty things." Xiaocao's tone became colder and colder.
Han and Wenren Ying were silent. Although they were quite dissatisfied with men having three wives and four concubines, they definitely could not tolerate it to the extent that they did their daughter (sister).
Han was a little worried again. She wanted to find a marriage for her daughter. Now she had to consider not only the issue of her daughter's heart being in someone's mind, but also the fact that her daughter would not tolerate any sand in this regard. However, no matter how nice this man said before the marriage, she didn't know what kind of character he would be after the marriage. If he was not satisfied, wouldn't she have a very bad life? They didn't mind supporting her all the time, and they were not afraid of gossip from others, but what if their parents passed away
She wasn't worried that her brothers wouldn't take care of her. In fact, in Han's opinion, her daughter's medical skills would be admired everywhere. But they all had their own families. Would her daughter be left alone
Han didn't show her emotions, but Wen Renying noticed something a little unusual.
Later, Wen Renying took some time and asked Han quietly when Xiaocao was not around.
Han looked at her and told her her concerns without hiding anything.
Wen Renying knew that her mother's worries were not unreasonable, but there was nothing she could do about it. For a moment, she even thought of giving Cheng Wenzheng to her fourth sister, but it was only a brief moment.
"Mom, is there someone in my fourth sister's heart?"
"How did you know this?" Han looked at Wen Renying with a questioning look.
Wen Renying stuck out her tongue slightly and said, "I noticed it by accident."
Han expressed her disbelief, and Wen Renying pretended to be stupid, but what could she do? There were some things she couldn't explain clearly.
"Your fourth sister was married before, and the man is gone now." Han lowered her voice and spoke into Wen Renying's ear.
"Ah?" Wen Renying was a little dumbfounded. She thought that the other party might be dead, or that he might be married, but she never thought that her fourth sister was actually married. "No, then the fourth sister is now..."
"Your fourth sister got married early. You can say that she grew up in the other party's family. However, she died before she could consummate the marriage... Mother was thinking of finding her a good husband. This first marriage and the second marriage are two different things. So it was my idea that she was dressing up now. However, your fourth sister's mind was not on this. I guess she hadn't even thought about it. She probably wanted to be alone for the rest of her life, but how could mother and your father bear to let her go?"
Wen Renying nodded, indicating that she understood her mother's idea and agreed to do so. The person died and the marriage was not consummated. Since no one knew about it, then it would be better to keep it a secret. Fourth sister was a good person and she deserved good treatment.
"That's it for now, we'll talk about it later."
Because he didn't know what the mountain was going to be blocked off to, Han was ready to go home tomorrow anyway.
As for the closure of the mountain itself, the Han family was quite calm. No matter what the reason was or what happened, it had nothing to do with them. At most, it just delayed some things, which made people feel unhappy.
Let Wen Renying take her fourth sister for a walk. The scenery in some places in the surrounding mountains is indeed nice. Besides, when you are here, you don't have to stick to the mountain. Tianshui Lake is right next to it. There are willows in many places around the entire Tianshui Lake. On the lake near the shore, many corridors and pavilions have been built, and there are also many pleasure boats for people to cruise around the lake and enjoy the scenery. Many of the pleasure boats have women singing, storytellers, and even jugglers, which are all good entertainment.
Wen Renying was in high spirits and wanted to take her fourth sister to see it for herself.
Xiao Cao smiled, "Seventh sister, aren't you tired?"
"I've rested for so long, how can I still be tired? I'm fine now."
Xiao Cao smiled but said nothing. It was okay now. After all, the situation would not be serious until tomorrow. If she went out for fun again, she would definitely suffer more. However, Xiao Cao had already thought about it. She would give her mother and sister a massage at night, and then get some medicine to soak them. They would be basically fine by tomorrow.
"Mom, do you want to go with me?" Xiaocao asked, tilting her head.
"What am I going to do? You young people go and have fun. I'm going to listen to the master's lecture."
"Mom, do you understand?" Wen Renying was not doubting, but trying to sabotage.
"If you don't understand, you can't listen?" Han said confidently.
Very good, Wen Renying said that she had nothing to say, and Xiaocao wanted to laugh when she saw it.
"Alright, alright, go play, don't stay here and get in the way. You're hanging around in front of me all day and it's annoying."
Wen Renying wrinkled her nose, snorted, and walked away pulling Xiaocao.
The scenery is pleasant. Apart from anything else, just looking at the willows and feeling the spring breeze on your face will make you feel relaxed.
Wen Renying walked while pointing out various places and introducing them to Xiaocao, telling her what the places were called, what interesting things had happened there, the best and most beautiful pleasure boats, and what nice songs they sang on those pleasure boats. She knew them all like the back of her hand.
Xiaocao knew that Wen Renying loved to play and gossip, so it was not surprising that she knew these things, and they sounded quite interesting.
I saw someone feeding fish on the shore. The fish were swimming in groups, constantly creating waves. I guess they had put some fish fry in the lake, but it didn't seem like they were blocking the way and seemed to be letting them swim freely throughout the Tianshui Lake.
"Is fishing allowed in this lake?" Although Xiaocao had been here before, she had never had a good time in Tianshui Lake. After all, she was very busy, and it was boring to walk around alone.
"Of course, of course, but you can't just cast your rod randomly on the shore. There are several places reserved for fishing. If you take a pleasure boat to the lake, you can go anywhere. The fish in this lake are so hungry that they are easy to catch. However, people who come here to fish usually do it for fun and to kill time. They release the fish they catch. Fourth sister, do you want to fish? This place is close to Zhouqun Mountain, and the fishing spots are a bit far away. We can rent a pleasure boat and go to the lake."
"No, I can try it later when I have time and go out for fun."
"Sure, whenever Fourth Sister wants to come, I'll be there for her."
"Okay." Xiaocao didn't hesitate and responded straightforwardly.
Looking ahead, there were at least twenty pleasure boats gathered a hundred meters away, and there were quite a few people on them.
"Oh, it looks like there will be something exciting today. Maybe it's some circus troupe. I don't know if it has started yet or has already ended. Fourth sister, let's go and take a look." Wen Renying pulled Xiaocao and walked faster.
Xiaocao is not interested in simple excitement, but if it is a circus, he would like to take a look.
The maid went to inquire first, and found out that there was indeed a juggling show. If she was lucky, it would start in a quarter of an hour.
"It's definitely impossible to rent a houseboat nearby right now, but it doesn't matter. There must be girls from other families there. We can find one and build a house with it."
Wen Renying was about to ask the maid to go and take a look, but someone came up to her and said, "I am a maid in the mansion of Lord Zhen Chengen. My Sixth Miss wants you two to come over and have a chat."
"Fourth sister, it's Sister Mu Yao. What a coincidence. Let's go, let's go quickly."
Xiaocao nodded, what a coincidence.
Before they arrived, Zhen Muyao waved from the pleasure boat, "Sister Xuan, Xiaoying'er, this way."
Zhen Muyao was on the largest pleasure boat at the scene. There were quite a lot of people on it, both men and women, and there was no particular distinction between them. It seemed that they were all family members.
When Xiaocao and the others went up, Zhen Muyao didn't like those empty words, so he directly pulled Xiaocao's hand and said, "We are all familiar with each other, there is no need to be so particular."
Having said that, the two young masters nearby still bowed slightly and prepared to step back.
Zhen Muyao reached out and grabbed one of the younger ones, "Sister Xuan, this is Jianshu, do you know who he belongs to?" Zhen Muyao winked at Xiaocao cunningly.
Jian Shu, when Zhen Muyao confronted Ming Zeyue at Pingjin Marquis's Mansion yesterday, she mentioned that, wasn't it her fiancé whom she always liked and cherished? However, Jian Shu's face was flushed, and her eyes were a little wet, looking like a little rabbit. Her temperament was even more shy than that of a girl. Looking at Zhen Muyao, she called out "Yaoyao" in a low and helpless voice.
The little rabbit was quite polite, "I guess the young lady is the fourth young lady of the Wen family. Yaoyao has mentioned the young lady before. Yaoyao speaks without any taboos, so please bear with her."
After all, how can a woman casually talk about another girl to a man? Although it is not bad words and they are an engaged couple, it is obviously inappropriate.
Zhen Muyao couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Xiao Cao smiled and said, "It's okay. This shows that the young master and Mu Yao have a good relationship. She wants to share her happy things with you, and she wants you to know the friends she makes, just like she wants everyone else to know you. And I believe Mu Yao will know her limits and won't say anything that shouldn't be said."
"Yes, yes, Sister Xuan, you really understand me." Others did not agree with or understand her things, but now she is affirmed, Zhen Muyao is very happy.
Perhaps because he heard Xiaocao say that they had a good relationship, Jian Shu's face turned red again, but he could clearly not suppress a smile.
In Qi Dynasty, the sexual relations between engaged couples were not that serious, and it was acceptable for them to stand together and talk occasionally. However, Xiao Cao had never seen anyone so blatantly intimate as Zhen Muyao and Jian Shu. After all, if they didn't formally get married on that day, something could go wrong. If it really failed, it would be too embarrassing, and it would be difficult to find a new partner.
Judging from Jianshu's expression, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to take the initiative to get close to her. It was most likely Zhen Muyao who started it, and looking at Jianshu's expression now, he's probably almost used to it.
Another young man knocked on Zhen Muyao's head with a folding fan from behind, "Muyao, stop it."
Zhen Muyao turned around and glanced at him, then let go of Jian Shu. "Alright, that's enough of your nagging. You can go away now."
Zhen Muyao looked impatient, but neither Jian Shu nor the man showed any emotion, and it was obvious that they were used to it.
Zhen Muyao had already started talking to Xiaocao, "Sister Xuan, are you guys here just for fun too?"
"That's not the case. I came here with mother to burn incense and fulfill a vow. The entire mountain where Pu Yu Temple is located has been blocked. Mother meant to wait. It's okay even if we stay overnight. I will just walk around with my seventh sister."
Zhen Muyao nodded, "It's the Kaiping Guards who are doing the work. If the work is done, they may withdraw at any time. If it is not finished, they will definitely withdraw tomorrow morning. If there is nothing else, there is no need to rush."
This place is not too far away, so it’s not surprising that Zhen Muyao and the others knew about it.
As for the story of Prince Dun being beaten by Young Master Fan Wuguo, ah, I've heard it so many times and I'm tired of it. It's nothing new anymore. Prince Dun didn't believe that Kaiping Guard was responsible, but not everyone is as smart as he is.
As for why Prince Dun wanted to get involved, well, who knows.
Xiaocao did not ask any more questions. Seeing that her sister had gone to talk to other girls on the pleasure boat, chatting and laughing, and getting along very harmoniously, she just followed her. Xiaocao thought that her seventh sister's communication skills were much better than hers.
