After returning home, the old lady pondered for several days, but finally couldn't make up her mind, so she had to bring her grandson here to inquire about the marriage with Duke Jing's mansion.
Yu Pinyan was playing with the teacup, his attitude was a little casual, "My ancestors don't know, but my grandson was young and impulsive. He once approached Chang Yafu in private and asked her if she would marry me."
The old lady leaned forward and asked, "What did she say?"
"She said, I'll ask her after I become the Marquis of Yongle." Yu Pinyan seemed to find this very interesting, and laughed in a low voice.
The old lady couldn't laugh at all. Hearing such selfish and ruthless words, how did grandson feel back then? His father passed away, his mother was indifferent, and even a group of uncles wanted to kill him openly and secretly, but his fiancée, who was supposed to share weal and woe with him, watched him struggling in the sea of suffering with cold eyes.
What price did he pay to be able to come to this day
The old lady felt that there was a knife cutting out her heart one by one, and the pain was unbearable.
"Old Ancestor, what's your expression? I'm fine." Yu Pinyan put down his teacup, patted his grandmother's slightly trembling shoulders, and said with a smile, "Now that I'm the Marquis of Yongle, I don't want to ask any more questions. Ancestor, You can figure it out."
"Okay, I'll finish this matter within three days." The old lady nodded with a rather unkind expression.
Unexpectedly, the old Lord Yasukuni would be critically ill the next day, and the mansion of Lord Yasukuni was in chaos. At this time, the old lady had no choice but to suppress the suspicion of taking advantage of others' danger by withdrawing the marriage.
A few more days later, instead of getting better, the old Mr. Yasukuni got worse, and finally died late one night. White flags were flying everywhere in the Yasukuni mansion, and it was even more difficult to mention the matter of retiring.
Chang Yafu had to observe filial piety for three years, and the marriage was not settled. Three years later, her grandson was nineteen, and the great-grandson in another family could run, jump, and call people. What a waste of effort! The old lady held her breath and couldn't vomit it out. Not to mention how uncomfortable she was, she turned around and looked for a concubine for her grandson.
Yu Pinyan was assassinated by the girl around him in the early years, and then he was put on by his fiancée. He hated women deeply. The people sent by the old lady were thrown in the yard casually, and he took an errand and went to other places. Moon didn't come home.
On this day, Yu Xiang woke up early, humming a little tune while decaling yellow to the bronze mirror. 'Yu Xiang' has a good foundation, and after being raised for several months, her facial features have grown a little, and her appearance has become more and more beautiful day by day, and gradually coincides with Yu Xiang's appearance in her previous life. This change was a good thing for her, and anyone who looked in the mirror and saw a completely unfamiliar face would be horrified.
Tao Hong came in with breakfast and asked, "Miss, are you in a good mood today?" Since the young master left, the master hadn't smiled like this.
"Well, I dreamed that my brother came back." Yu Xiang signaled Liu Lu to push her over to eat, and said briskly, "I'll give you a day off today, so go home. By the way, there is also Xi Qiu who is in charge of cleaning Mama Rong, who is in charge of laundry, and Pang Fu, who is in charge of carrying water and chopping firewood, all go home, and they will be back before you hour."
Taohong didn't feel happy at all, but worried, "Miss, we are all gone, who will take care of you?" These are the real people in the yard, and the rest of them were all put down by Cuiping Cuixi's instigation , Hiding out of sight all day long, only showing up when receiving monthly money.
Over the past few months, they became more and more reckless, even passing by the lady, they pretended not to see her at all. She often makes the top of her head smoke with anger, but Miss Pian never takes it to heart.
Yu Xiang said while drinking the porridge, "Push me outside later and leave. I have my own arrangements for today. When you come back, this yard will be clean."
Tao Hong wanted to persuade her again, but was gently pulled by Liu Lu, so she reluctantly agreed.
After breakfast, the two pushed Yu Xiang outside the courtyard.
"Just here, the wind is quite strong." Yu Xiang took off her cloak and said with a smile, "Put this away, I don't need it."
It’s late autumn now, and you can see wisps of white mist when you breathe out. If you don’t wear a cloak and sit on the upper air vent, won’t you get sick from the cold? Tao Hong was in a hurry and insisted on putting it on for her.
Liu Lu knew the inside story a long time ago, so she folded the cloak and put it in the room, took out a medicine bottle, squatted down and said, "Miss, take this Qufeng Sanhan pill first. Let's go now, take it easy. "
Yu Xiang took out the pill and put it in her mouth, tapped her with her fingertips, squinted her eyes and smiled, "Don't forget to tell Mama Mama what I'm teaching you." Because Taohong wrote everything on her face, she didn't say anything. Entrust this matter to her. On the contrary, it was Liu Lu, who was quite determined.
Liu Lu pursed her lips and nodded, Tao Hongzhang Er Monk couldn't figure it out, and the two walked away.
Soon, the yard became quiet, except for the rustling of leaves as the cold wind blew through them.
Yu Xiang closed her eyes and fell asleep, hugged her shoulders two quarters of an hour later, and shouted loudly, "Come on, I'm cold, get me some clothes!"
It was quiet everywhere, she waited for a while, and then started shouting again, until her throat was dry and no one responded. Cuiping Cuixi hid in the ear room to the east, playing flower cards with a few girls and women, laughing while listening to her yelling.
"No one is allowed to answer! Let her drink the northwest wind!" Cuiping spat out a few melon seed shells.
Several women nodded repeatedly. Yu Xiang had a broken leg, and she was weak and deceitful. After a few months, they no longer regarded her as their master, but felt like trampling on the prostitute of the Hou family. It has to be said that bullying is the root of inferiority that most people cannot get rid of.
Only one little girl asked worriedly, "She yells so loudly, what if someone outside hears it? We will all be ruined if we make trouble in front of the young master!"
"It's all right." Cuixi waved her hands impatiently, "This place is so far away from the main courtyard, no one will come here. Madam doesn't care about her life or death. The old lady is definitely doing morning classes in the Buddhist hall right now, so I don't have the time to care about her. It's all right .She is a strong outsider. She yells and shouts six times. She is full of airs. She wilts when she is bullied by us. She never dares to complain to the young master. She is afraid that I and Cuiping are very scary!" After speaking, she laughed smugly.
The little girl thought about it, and continued to play cards with peace of mind.
Yu Xiang yelled outside one after another, as if she was very angry, with a roar in her voice. The two boys who were in charge of chopping firewood and carrying water for the west wing passed by, and hurried to the window to ask Cuiping what to do.
"Go ahead and play, don't worry about her. If something happens, I will take care of it." Cuiping waved her hands broadly.
The two boys were already used to stealing, raping and playing tricks, so they left all the work to Pang Fu alone. Seeing that Pang Fu was not there, they thought he was carrying water, so they didn't think much of it. They flattered Cuiping and then slipped away. . The big guys continued to play cards, and the shouting outside still didn't stop, which meant they were on the bar. After a full quarter of an hour, Yu Xiang's voice was as dry as a dead branch scraping the ground, but it still lingered into her ears, which was really annoying.
Cuiping threw the cards in her hand on the table and shouted, "It's annoying! Let's go, find a clean place somewhere else, and let her scream!"
"Hey, I'll pick up the cards." An old lady immediately agreed.
"Let's go, what if someone comes to the yard later?" The little girl asked with a frown.
"The young master is not here, and the old lady is doing morning class again. Who will come! You are too timid! I asked Liu Lu, and she said that she and Tao Hong went to buy Quanfuji rice cakes for the cripple, and soon Just come back. It's almost here, they should be here soon, and they will naturally take care of the cripple, it's nothing for us. Let's go, let's go." Cuixi urged repeatedly.
Everyone stopped hesitating and swaggered towards the courtyard gate in front of Yu Xiang. When Cuiping Cuixi came up to her, she even picked out her ears. Seeing her ashen complexion and angry and unwilling eyes, she covered her mouth and grinned. laugh. After several months of pampering, they seem to have forgotten their surnames.
"Come back! Come back quickly!" Amidst Yu Xiang's screams, a group of people drifted away, and the cold wind blew past, blowing a few withered yellow leaves.
Yu Xiang's angry expression disappeared instantly, and a malicious smile slowly bloomed on the corner of her lips, and she murmured, "If God wants to destroy him, he must first make him crazy. Those of you who signed the contract of sale may have forgotten that I, Yu Xiang, are essentially Said it was your God."
She took out a piece of rice cake wrapped in oiled paper from her sleeve, and she opened it to eat slowly. The wind was so strong that it kept tugging at the hem of her skirt, and the exposed skin was cold and gradually lost its color. Half an hour passed, the sun was passing through the cloudy clouds, shedding a piece of sunshine for a while, and then retracting it stingily, the temperature was always so cold.
Two magpies landed on a branch, chirping and frolicking, just like the scene in a dream, and the gentle twitching of the heartstrings told her that the extremely familiar person was approaching.
When magpies make trouble on branches, they should leave people and return. She rolled the oiled paper into a ball, threw it away, and then yelled, "Come on, I'm cold, come on!" Her voice was completely hoarse, and it sounded like a bellows with a hole in it.
Yu Pinyan finished his errands a few days in advance, got off the horse and headed straight to the West Wing. I don’t think so when I’m at home, but I can’t help but think of Xiang’er when I’m outside, wondering what she’s doing at this moment, whether she’s drinking her medicine, eating well, whether the silver charcoal she bought has been brought into her house, what she bought Thick dresses and fur cloaks have not been changed, but I still like them.
People are running around, but their hearts are always hanging on her.
But what did he see? His younger sister, who couldn't bear to touch a single hair, was sitting in the yard wearing thin clothes, her face was as pale as paper, her lips were dry and chapped, and her voice was hoarse. That's how those servants took care of her when he wasn't around? Let her fend for herself
Really good!
Intense evil spirit flowed from the dark eyes, he walked over quickly, hugged his younger sister who started to cry when he saw him, and took off his cloak to wrap her cold and stiff body, then kicked off the wheelchair and quickly returned to the house .
He hugged Yu Xiang and sat down on the soft couch, and rushed to the two long followers standing outside the door to order, "Fire a pot of charcoal fire and come over here, hurry up. Get all the people in the yard back within a quarter of an hour."
"Brother, Taohong, Liulu, Xiqiu, Rongma, and Pangfu are all good. I saw them working hard for days, so I gave them a day off. Who would have thought that when they left, there would be no one in the yard. Brother , don't embarrass them." Yu Xiang said weakly.
"I know. Don't worry." Yu Pinyan put her cold hands into the front of his clothes, and lovingly rubbed her bloodless lips.
Yu Xiang buried her face in his chest, took a deep breath, and smiled slyly. She has trouble walking, but she doesn't have the energy to restrain servants who are not righteous. After a few months of indulging, she can clearly see who is loyal and who is traitorous, and she doesn't bother to play the trick of killing chickens and monkeys. She can't survive for a while, so it's better to leave with Cuiping and Cuixi, and no one will be lucky enough to stay!
If Yu Pinyan's dream of returning home hadn't come true, Liu Lu had greeted Mama Mama when he left, and it would be almost time to arrive by now.
