The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 66

Cui Qiao felt her heart pounding.

She is the son of Weiyuan Hou’s family, but the family is the worst kind among the sons of the family.

Her mother is just a girl, and she doesn’t have a brother. Both parents are the kind of honest and stupid people. Good errands are not on the turn, and all that can be on the table are thankless errands.

She entered the mansion as a errand at the age of eight, starting from the lowest-class scavenger girl, to the errand girl in Jinse Yard, and then to the second-class girl waiting in the main room. For so many years, all the things that have happened in the mansion have fallen into the eye, but she is a little girl, how can she manage the master’s affairs, it is better to be a saw-mouthed gourd honestly.

Because of the three girls, Jinseyuan changed people one after another. Everyone was in danger at the moment, either because they were afraid of being whipped, or because they were afraid of leaving such a good place. She was one of them. Unexpectedly, Fangcao Fangcui were killed and the maid’s position was vacated, so she and Cuiping were put on top.

Cuiqiao is very afraid of the third girl, this fear has been buried in her heart since she was a second-class maid. This is also the reason why she was promoted to the maidservant and so pleased the three girls.

After so many years, she can see that whoever is right with the third girl will suffer. Fangcao and Fangcui, the maid beside Madam Hou did not do it, and went to be a doggie for Aunt Pei, who deserved to be beaten to death and sold out by the whole family.

As for today’s matter, Cui Qiao also had Men Qing in her heart, and she had been mixed in. When the old lady is angry with his wife, Zhao’s mother will be so bold and perfunctory.

In fact, she could completely give up when she came back from Rong’antang. Anyway, she was just a servant and couldn’t do anything about it. There would be nothing wrong with the wife’s fever all night. But she really couldn’t bear it. Madam was a good person, and she was kind to the servants of Jinseyuan. It doesn’t matter to her that everyone else has their own minds how to do or think, but she Cui Qiao can’t do that ignorant thing.

That’s why in the middle of the night, someone called the three girls.

Cuiqiao’s hand was suddenly held.

“Look at your hand so cold, isn’t it cold?”

There are little girls holding lanterns in front and back, and it’s not dark all around, but it’s cold, and the cold wind is pouring straight into the neck.

The hand was patted gently, “Don’t be afraid, you are a loyal, the third girl knows. We do have something to report, and it is really helpless to disturb the old lady.”

Cui Qiao nodded.

When I arrived at Rong’an Hall, I told my intentions clearly, and the light in the penthouse next to the main room soon turned on.

Mother Zhao came out wearing a jacket.

“I actually let you run, and the third girl won’t be woken up too. You girl, too, is it possible to stop you when you call the old lady for such a big thing? Just go back and disturb the third. girl.”

Cui Qiao lowered her head, nah, still wondering what to say, she was dragged behind her.

I could only hear Mother Zou whisper softly, “This girl was panicked when she just mentioned it. But she is also a loyal one, so she can teach her well in the future. Trouble old sister gets up in the middle of the night, you hurry to rest. Okay, just tell them to open the second door.”

“Madam is hot, how can I sleep, I will send you out.”

“No need, I will go back here. Just to tell you, you also know that the third girl is short-tempered, no, the second gatekeeper doesn’t want to face her, she dare to delay the Jinseyuan business, three The girl ordered someone to slap the woman’s mouth. Tomorrow the old lady will get up and will bother you to talk about it. It depends on the pure filial piety of the three girls.”

Mother Zou took the people away, and Mother Zhao was stunned on the spot.

Is this hitting the woman in the face, or is it hitting her in the face?

Don’t give me your face

Hey, this old fellow talks so annoying!

Mother Zhao entered the main room and went to the inner room with the slight light. It turned out that there was a small lamp in the inner room. Just because the light is dim, it is not visible from the outside, as if the lights are not lit.

The old lady leaned against the head of the bed, closing her eyes, opening her eyes when she heard the movement.

Mother Zhao leaned forward and whispered the matter.

“Then Shen Yiyao didn’t pretend to be sick?”

Mother Zhao shook her head, “It looks like it shouldn’t be the case. The big girl in Jinseyuan is not up to the trouble, making the three girls upset.”

The old lady didn’t speak for a long time, and Mother Zhao watched the movement on her face, but did not dare to speak.

after awhile.

“Okay, you go and rest too. This girl is timid and dare not say what it has to do with us.”

Mother Zhao thought for a while and said, “I’m afraid that Ermen’s wife Qi is about to suffer, and the third girl’s personality is also explosive, and she can’t spend a moment. She ordered people to drag people up in the middle of the night and scratch their ears.”

The old lady’s face was extremely ugly, she was smoking the old lady, or she was smoking her!

This little demon!

***

Shen Yiyao didn’t wake up until the next day.

Opening her eyes, Cuiping took a nap on the Xiao Xiaozi in front of the bed.

As soon as she moved, Cuiping woke up, hurriedly stood up, and shouted joyfully: “Madam is awake.”

Cui Qiao walked in with a golden tea tray, “Just as the medicine has been cooked, the lady will drink the medicine when she wakes up. The slave and maid let people prepare breakfast. The lady has not eaten two meals, so she has to take in some more.”

On the way to drink the medicine, Shen Yiyao asked in a low voice, “The three girls came last night?”

Cuiqiao was taken aback, without concealing it, so she told about what happened yesterday.

As he was talking, the girls’ greetings sounded outside.

Yan Ting walked in.

“I was busy late yesterday, so I rested in the front yard study. I got up this morning and heard that you had a fever last night, so I hurried back to see you. Are you okay?”

It seemed that the strange Yan Ting yesterday was just fantasy, and Yan Ting now became the husband who cared for her in the past.

Shen Yiyao shook her head, “Drank the medicine, it’s much better.”

At this time, there was a young man outside the door to report, saying that there was something in the front yard to find Lord Hou.

Yan Ting didn’t delay either, and gave Shen Yiyao another relief, and then left.

Following Aunt Pei and Aunt Wu, Yan Qian and Yan Chan also came, Xi Han asked warmly, and said that he would treat his wife. Shen Yiyao’s head was dizzy, and her voice became noisy when there were too many people, and her brain was so painful that she waved her hand to make them retreat.

What else did Aunt Pei want to say, Cui Qiao said: “The lady has just taken the decoction, and she is going to sleep now. The two aunts should come back another day.”

Aunt Pei glanced at Cui Qiao, and she saw her smiling, “Aunt Pei, you are pregnant, and you are not easily tired. The slave and maid will send you out.”

Shen Yiyao took the decoction for two more days, and her body gradually got better.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Shangyuan Festival.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the “Shangyuan Festival” is a more important festival for Daxi. At this time, the capital will hold a grand and solemn Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival has a total of ten days, from the eighth day of the first lunar month to the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. During the Lantern Festival period, there are lantern markets throughout the capital, with the largest lantern market at Donghua Gate.

The so-called lamp market is a “city” from morning to night, and a “lamp” from night to dawn. In the Lantern Market, there are merchants from all over the world, there are various treasures, there are antiques from three generations and eight dynasties, and there are utensils used by people from all walks of life. There are three rows in Qu, four columns in the city, the so-called opening with nine cities. There were lanterns and fireworks shining through the night, and the drums juggled up and down.

At this time, people, men, women, and children will go out of their homes to enjoy the lanterns, guess riddles, eat Lantern Festival, and go to all diseases. At the same time, there are also activities to celebrate the Spring Festival in the palace. Generally, the lantern market is built outside the Meridian Gate. It is necessary to set up the lantern mountain and set off fireworks. However, it is only for the princes and ministers to participate.

It can be described as a nationwide joy.

Luo Huaiyuan had sent a letter to Yan Yan a long time ago, and asked her and Shen Qi to go out to see the lanterns on this day of the Spring Festival.

Yan Yan has visited the lantern market several times, and this kind of lantern market is held in the palace. It looks like the lights are brilliant, the fire tree is silver, there are many snack vendors, and juggling artists. In fact, these are all for the people above, including the snack stalls that can enter, and the drum juggling is carefully selected by Jing Zhaoyin. The contacts are all high-ranking officials, and the excitement is lively, but it is a bit less popular.

It just so happened that Luo Huaiyuan was reluctant to visit the lantern market in the inner city, so he set the spot for viewing the lanterns in the outer city. In his letter, he described how lively that day would be, saying that the light market in Dong’anmen had been opened long ago, and there were so many beautiful lights hung up, and the excitement on the night of the Shangyuan Festival can be imagined.

It is also said that the people’s family has the custom of ‘walking away from all diseases’. Amo’s body is not good, and walking around all kinds of ailments can also bless him in the future.

In short, she did everything to persuade Yan Yan, and Yan Yan was indeed persuaded by her.

So Yan Yan decided to go out to enjoy the lanterns on this day of the Spring Festival.

There is also an arrangement in Weiyuan Houfu on this day, and I will go to the Lantern Market in the inner city to watch one or two. However, the old lady was getting old, Shen Yiyao recovered from a serious illness, and Aunt Pei was pregnant. Erfang entrusted Yan Hongyanqian to Dafang and Sanfang to take them for a walk.

Yan Yan was about to go to admire the lanterns and told Shen Yiyao. I heard that Shen Qi was with him, but Shen Yiyao didn’t say much, only confessing that Yan Yan wanted to be optimistic about her younger brother.

Yan Yan knew about this without telling her. There must be a lot of people on that day. She was going to bring Hui Niang along with a few guards. As for Mei Xiang, I will not bring them. They are all low-quality women. There is really nothing to do with it.

On the day of the Spring Festival, Yan Yan took Yan Mo out.

As soon as the carriage reached the outer city, it was blocked and could not move, so it abandoned the carriage and prepared to walk out.

Yan Yan led Yan Mo, followed Hui Niang by her side, and walked to the outer city with a few sturdy bodyguards. The place she and Luo Huaiyuan had agreed upon was’Liuxiangju’, which was not too far from the inner city, but there were many people on the road and the walking speed was inevitably slower.

Seeing that the more people walked forward, the more pedestrians, Yan Yan took out a black silk ribbon from her arms, tied one end to her wrist and the other to Yan Mo’s wrist. Several guards separated the crowd from front to back, left and right, and a group of people moved forward slowly.

By the time’Liuxiangju’, the sky was completely dark.

“Liuxiangju” is full of guests and people are full of voices. Standing in front of the door, you can see the lively situation inside. Especially on the second floor, the sill windows are wide open, and it seems that the elegant rooms are all wrapped up.

A window on the second floor stretched out half of his body, and the man beckoned vigorously.

“Sister A Yan, here.”

It is Shen Qi.

The bear child was very indifferent to the image, dancing and shouting loudly. He was full of anger. The sound of “Sister A Yan” attracted countless pedestrians to look over, and seemed to be looking for the “Sister A Yan”.

Yan Yan gave him a fierce look, took a silver bean from her waist purse, and bounced it at him.

The bear child shook his body, caught the silver bean, stuck out his tongue, and retracted his head.

On the second floor, people led to the elegant room.

Except for Shen Qi, Luo Huaiyuan had been waiting there long ago.

I saw him wearing a dark blue satin jacket with sapphire piping and a black fox hat with sapphire on his head. Because I didn’t wear a fur jacket today, it seemed to be thinner than I saw that day.

Seeing Yan Yan watching him, he deliberately weighed his stomach, grinned, water chestnut-like mouth, and smiled with a small dimple on the left, which made people look unbearable.

“Sister A Yan can use some food before she comes out. If it’s not useful, let’s use some first.”

Why is it that every time he sees this Luo Xiaopang, what he says is to eat, is it possible that she looks like she eats very well (four beeps)?

Yan Yan didn’t have a delicious face, but Luo Huaiyuan, a foodie, saves others by herself, and remembered that there was a saying in modern times that was right. If you want to capture a person’s heart, first you have to hold her. Stomach.

In order to make the little princess have to belong to him, Luo Huaiyuan can be regarded as doing everything.

“I had a snack before I came out.” Yan Yan lowered her head and asked her younger brother, “Amo, are you hungry?”

Yan Mo shook his head.

Shen Qi interjected: “I just saw it, there are many food stalls outside, so let’s go shopping and eat.”

This bear kid has long been impatient, and he is also the first time to visit the lantern festival in the outer city, which makes him dazzled and dizzy. Had it not been for Luo Huaiyuan to be able to stop him, Sa Yazi would have run away long ago.

“This lamp market is so lively, there are so many people! Walk around, let’s hurry up!”?
