Taohong ran back with an empty food box, and accidentally bumped into Liulu who was about to step out of the door.
"Silly girl, where's our breakfast? Why did you come back with an empty food box?"
"It's not good, the third lady is really insidious, so I'm going to complain to Master Hou! I just saw her crying while holding Master Hou on the road, and I don't know how many bad things I said about Miss."
"There is such a thing?" Liu Lu hurriedly turned around, looked at the hard-working master and complained, "Miss, why did you break up with her so quickly, she didn't invite you to provoke you. Later, the Marquis will come and you But how can I explain it? After all, she hasn't returned home for fourteen years, so Lord Hou must love her more."
Yu Xiang waved her hands disapprovingly, but her eyes rolled away from the door.
A quarter of an hour later, Yu Pinyan stepped on the morning light and stepped over the threshold, and sat down at the breakfast table.
"This shredded chicken porridge is very delicious. Do you want to eat it, brother? I'll feed you." Yu Xiang scooped up a spoonful of the porridge to let it cool, and carefully brought it to his brother's mouth.
A pretty face was pink and red, and she was smiling at herself facing the rising sun. The salty aroma of shredded chicken porridge came from her nose, as well as the sweet aroma mixed with peach blossom and lotus flower, which greatly increased one's appetite.
Yu Pinyan's Adam's apple twitched slightly, he drank the porridge with a spoon in his mouth, and asked, "There's nothing to be courteous about, rape or steal. Tell me, what bad things did you do?"
"It's so early in the morning, what bad things can I do?" Yu Xiang lowered her head and stuffed a mouthful into her mouth.
Yu Pinyan waited until she finished swallowing before pinching her jaw, turned a pretty face to himself, and continued to ask, "Why isn't Yu Miaoqi allowed to get close to me?"
Yu Xiang frowned, "I don't like it."
"Why don't you like it?"
"feeling terrible!"
"They're both younger sisters, why are you uncomfortable?"
"It's just uncomfortable, it hurts like this!" Yu Xiang really felt wronged, picked up the whip hanging on the armrest of the wheelchair and lightly whipped his brother's arm, and said angrily, "You liar, you said you only If you like me alone, you scold me for Yu Miaoqi! Do you know how bad she is? She burned the peace amulet that her ancestors gave her. She not only hates me, but also hates you. The bad water is about to splash out! You told me to stay away from her, but you ran to get close to her yourself. You are a big liar!"
Yu Miaoqi's return completely touched her sensitive nerves, she was afraid that one day Yu Pinyan would like Yu Miaoqi more than herself, and then kicked herself out of the house. She pretended to be calm, once she fell asleep, all she did would be a nightmare of breaking up with the Yu family and parting with Yu Pinyan. This kind of suffering can't be confided and has no place to vent, which makes her not very obedient temper even more anxious, and it only takes a spark to ignite it.
Yu Pinyan knew that there was nothing to ask this time, and it would be too early to wait for the little girl to wake up, so she hugged her on her knees and tightly wrapped her arms, and said dumbfoundingly, "When did I scold you? I just asked a few words That's all. Of course you are my favorite."
"You can't 'favorite'!" Yu Xiang stared at the big cat pupils, and corrected seriously, "It's 'only like'!"
"Okay, okay, my brother only likes you." Yu Pinyan chuckled repeatedly, pressing her delicate cheeks into his chest, and his tone became very serious, "If my brother also has a brother living outside, after you find him, do you like him?" Still like me?"
"Of course I only like my brother. It's my brother who gets along with me day and night, the one who depends on me for life, and the one who is intimate with me. How can it be changed by an outsider?" Yu Xiang replied without hesitation.
Yu Pinyan was very satisfied with this answer, especially the definition of 'outsider'. In this way, even if Shen Yuanqi temporarily takes Xiang'er away in the future, Xiang'er will not accept him for a while. The one she trusts, clings to, and loves deeply can only be herself.
Yu Pinyan was in a happy mood for a moment, and smiled, "That's it. Although she is bleeding the same, Yu Miaoqi is just a stranger to me. Silly girl, why are you so jealous."
Yu Xiang thought for a moment, then laughed too, broke free from her brother's arms, poured a few drops of vinegar on the steaming steamed dumplings, picked them up and stuffed them into her mouth, and said vaguely, "I just like sour ones. no."
Yu Pinyan smiled lowly, hugged her and finished the remaining half bowl of porridge.
Liu Luli stood outside the window to spy, her expression changed from happy to sad, from resentful to angry, anxious and slow to each other, until Tao Hong was stunned, thinking that this person still called me a silly girl, but she was getting more and more stupid!
When Yu Miaoqi arrived at the east courtyard, her expression was already very natural. She greeted Yu Siyu with a slight smile and sat down next to her, her eyes fixed on an unfinished mandarin duck hijab in the sewing box.
She picked it up and said with a light smile, "Sister, is she embroidering a dowry? Why is there only one hijab?"
Yu Siyu blushed, grabbed the hijab and said in a low voice, "The wedding dress is helped by the embroiderer. This hijab is simple. I embroider it when I have nothing to do. It's a good way to pass the time."
Yu Miaoqi covered her mouth and jokingly said, "So, my sister's wedding is coming soon, my sister will congratulate her in advance, but who is the son-in-law of our family?"
Yu Siyu was in need of a sister to listen to her show off, so she blushed and whispered, "He is Tan Hualang from Jinke, from Yangzhou, and his father is Mr. Si Yun and Fang, the envoy of salt transportation. Although he is only a fourth-rank foreign official, he has a rich family He is even better than many aristocratic families. He himself was appointed by the Holy Majesty as the prefect of Yangzhou, and he took office a month ago."
Yu Miaoqi listened very seriously, and exclaimed, "Tanhualang? He must be talented and handsome. Congratulations to my sister for finding such a good man."
This was the first person who was happy for him since he was discussing marriage. Yu Siyu was touched instantly, and had a private conversation with her, "Sister Miu praised, Mr. Fang is indeed an orchid and jade tree, handsome and extraordinary, but compared to the current champion Shen Yuanqi is still a bit short. Zhuangyuan Lang's looks are peerless, and he can almost compete with the elder brother. On the day he paraded around, many people were stunned, and flowers, purses, melons and fruits were all over the street."
Everyone has a love of beauty, and when it comes to Zhuangyuanlang, all the women who have met him rarely dislike him. Of course, people like Yu Xiang who can only accommodate one person in their eyes are different.
Yu Miaoqi was playing with a hollow incense ball, but when she heard the name she had deliberately forgotten for a long time, she threw the incense ball out with a shake of her hand, and all the calculations in her heart were replaced by horror.
The two big girls standing at the door hurriedly followed to pick it up.
She took a deep breath secretly, and when she spoke again, her voice trembled slightly, "Sister said Shen Yuanqi is really that handsome?" up. This is a fact, not an exaggeration.
Yu Siyu covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "He is very handsome, I heard that the emperor borrowed a poem describing the beauty of the city when he saw him--husband He Guiyi's graceful posture, unique and outstanding, all the people present laughed and responded, not only did he Feeling embarrassed, he still sat upright, smiled and nodded, and the emperor praised him a lot. He immediately gave him a navy blue official robe, and he was ranked as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. It’s really a holy family!”
When it comes to the anecdote of Zhuangyuan Lang, any daughter can say a few words.
The demeanor of this behavior, the more she heard, the more she looked like that person. Yu Miaoqi felt her heart was about to pop out of her throat, she poured a cup of hot tea with shaking hands, and continued to ask, "Sister, do you know where he is from?"
"It's a very far away place. I heard someone mention it in a daze, but now I forget it. If my sister is anxious to know, I can ask someone to help you find out." Yu Siyu laughed.
Yu Miaoqi shook her head quickly, "No, no, I'm just asking casually, sister, concentrate on embroidering the dowry, don't bother me. It's getting late, so I'm leaving now."
She couldn't help shaking when she stepped on the ground, feeling a little top-heavy.
If this Shen Yuanqi is really that Shen Yuanqi, now that he is so successful, he doesn't know how to deal with him, after all, he took away Shen's life-saving money. If he reveals a sentence to others, how can he gain a foothold in the capital? ! No, no, there are many people with the same name and surname in the world, but it may not be him. He has already signed a death contract and became a slave, so how can he still be eligible to take the imperial examination
impossible!
Feeling up and down several times, Yu Miaoqi took a deep breath and ran to Mrs. Lin for help.
In the side hall of the main courtyard, Mrs. Lin waited for Yu Miaoqi to walk away, then suddenly knelt down in front of the old lady and said firmly, "Mother, I want to be in charge of the house."
There was no surprise on the old lady's face, and she half-closed her eyelids and asked, "After fourteen years of hiding from the world, you suddenly want to head the house. Why? I begged you many times back then."
Lin said word by word, "Fourteen years ago, my daughter-in-law was unlovable. Fourteen years later, Qi'er came back, and I have the hope of living again. It is said that being a mother is strong..."
Before she could finish telling her thoughts, the old lady raised her hand and slapped her, knocking her to the ground, her lips stained with blood.
"If you are a mother, you are strong, and you still have the face to be with me. If you are a mother, you are strong!" The old lady sat up straight, picked up the crutches placed beside the couch, and beat her hard, "Yan'er was forced to desperate situations several times back then. Where were you when you helped? You want to live when your daughter is back, but you want to die when your son is by your side. What is going on in your head? Are illusory things more precious than real people around you? If you dared to die with Junjie back then, I would have admired you, but seeing this attitude makes me sick! You should be glad you gave birth to a good son, otherwise my Yu Mansion would not be able to tolerate you long ago!"
Lin didn't dodge or dodge, let her beat, and spoke again while she stopped to catch her breath, "Anyway, the daughter-in-law is awake now, and the daughter-in-law wants to prop up this family again, so that the two children can live in peace, hurry up Be happy and have no worries." Why doesn't she want to reconnect with her son now? But it was obvious that her son no longer needed her, but her daughter was still so fragile and helpless, which made her feel that her life was not useless.
Worry? You are the one to worry about! The old lady laughed secretly, picked up the beads, closed her eyes and twitched them, and refused to speak for a while.
Mrs. Lin didn't give up, knocked her head three times, and threatened, "If the mother doesn't allow it, the daughter-in-law will have to run to that bastard and shake off her life experience, and see if she has the face to stay in my Yongle Marquis government."
The old lady opened her eyes suddenly, with a ferocious expression, wishing she could eat Lin Shi raw. Accompanying each other day and night for four years, she has long regarded Yu Xiang as her own granddaughter, and what worries her most is that she learns that her life experience is related to her and Yan'er, and then clamors to leave.
Yu Miaoqi's return really woke Lin up, but she woke up in the wrong place, and dared to threaten her mother-in-law. The old lady took several deep breaths before barely suppressing the urge to kill Lin.
