Chapter 227 Leaving Beijing (1)
After seeing off the old lady, Yuchen leaned on the pillow in sapphire blue silk, sighed slightly, and said, "Grandmother is getting old, and her temper is a bit left." The eldest aunt said that she was not feeling well and went back first. , Grandma can also row through it. If it was before, it would definitely not be like this.
Nanny Gui said: "Since the uncle Xijue became the Duke of the country, the old lady has indeed been neglected. The masters of the big house are not as respectful as before." Especially the Qiu family, they used to be very respectful to the old lady. Respectful, and very filial, but now he doesn't care, and shirks everything to the two daughters-in-law. It is reasonable for the old lady to be dissatisfied.
Yuchen shook his head lightly and said: "Eldest aunt, she didn't miss my grandmother's food, and she went to pay her respects on weekdays. If she wanted to find faults, she couldn't find them." Qiu's respect for the old lady was just not as respectful as before. I didn't treat the old lady badly in terms of expenses, and they were all tight to the old lady first. Therefore, Yuchen can't blame half of it.
Nanny Gui said: "When people get old, they want their children and grandchildren to be around their knees, but they don't care much about eating and drinking." To put it bluntly, when you are old, you like to be lively and lively.
Yuchen is a married girl, so it's really not easy to meddle in the affairs of her natal family, not to mention Qiu's attitude is a bit negligent, and she can't find any faults: "I wanted to talk to Yuxi this time!" It's a pity , did not find the opportunity.
Speaking of this, Nanny Gui was very worried: "Princess, the imperial concubine gave the fourth girl to Yunqing. It is a disaster, not a blessing!" In the end, she was disgraced and even lost her life. The imperial concubine murdered the fourth girl twice in succession, it would be strange if the fourth girl didn't hate her. If the fourth girl was unable to retaliate, she would just grit her teeth and bear it, but that Yunqing was said to be very good at fighting. Let the fourth girl marry Yunqing, if the fourth girl encourages Yunqing to rebel in the future, it will be a catastrophe.
It can't be blamed that Nanny Gui thinks this way, it's because Yuxi's actions are not ethical. It is said that the fourth girl left the third house and adopted to the eldest house, who can even give up her own father, you expect her to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, stop joking. So Yuxi later encouraged Han Jianming to plot Han Jingdong's attack on the noble, and Nanny Gui was not surprised at all.
Not only Nanny Gui has this worry, but Yuchen also has this worry. Yuchen wasn't worried that Yuxi would rebel, it was just that Yunqing had such a big hatred with the Song family. Marrying Yuxi to Yunqing is like adding a big boost to Yunqing: "This time, I wanted to have a good talk with Yuxi." Yuchen wanted to use the truth to persuade Yuxi, let Yuxi Knowing that if the border town is raped, many innocent people will be implicated.
Nanny Gui said: "Why don't you invite the fourth girl to come to the mansion in two days." If the master can understand the fourth girl, then everyone will be happy.
Yuchen smiled wryly, and said, "Do you think Yuxi will come to the palace alone?" This time Yuxi will come to the palace because there are thousands of people accompanying her. If you let Yuxi come alone, not to mention that Yuxi won't come by herself, the eldest aunt won't let her come either.
Nanny Gui nodded and said, "Then we can only wait for the full moon feast between the two masters." At that time, the old lady will not come, and the princess will be able to have a good talk with the fourth girl.
Yuchen nodded, paused for a moment and couldn't help but said, "What do you think the imperial concubine is thinking? How could she marry Yuxi to Yunqing?" Yuchen actually couldn't understand Song Guifei's thinking. Giving Yuxi a marriage to Yunqing, and making two people who have enmity with her become husband and wife, wouldn't it make them share the same hatred? It would be fine if both of them were stupid, but they were both capable people.
Nanny Gui paused for a moment and said: "The imperial concubine should have believed what Monk Tong said, and thought that the fourth girl was destined to fail, so she felt that marrying the fourth girl to Yun Qing would not only bring down Yunqing, but also the fourth girl. I won't live long!" Yunqing's bloodthirsty reputation is known to everyone in the capital, as long as Yunqing knows that he married a woman with bad luck,
Maybe the fourth girl will be the result immediately.
Yuchen also agreed with Nanny Gui's point of view, and felt that Song Guifei probably thought so. Just because she agrees, she doesn't know how to complain: "How do you think the imperial concubine wins the queen and the prince?" If Yun Qing is such a superficial person, can he still live to this day? I don't even know such a simple truth.
Nanny Gui shook her head and said, "Princess, the imperial concubine was not like this before." If Concubine Song was like this before, she would have died countless times. It may be because Concubine Song is now the only one in the palace, so she acts a little recklessly.
No matter what happened to Concubine Song, anyway, she is in a bad shape now, but no one can restrain her, thinking of this, Yuchen is especially depressed.
Nanny Gui hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Princess, I guess, it was probably because Miss Four's pitiful appearance made a deep impression on Concubine Song, so she didn't pay attention to Miss Four. The girl is resolute and intelligent, so she must..." Yuchen swallowed the following words in his indifferent eyes.
Yuchen said coldly: "If the imperial concubine hears your words, Yuxi will not survive ten lives." The imperial concubine Song knew Yuxi's true face, and would definitely kill the roots.
Speaking of this Yuchen also wondered, Yuxi performed so badly in the palace back then, was it intentional? Because she knew what was going to happen afterwards? Thinking of this, Yuchen immediately vetoed it. If Yuxi really had this ability, she wouldn't be in the current situation.
Nanny Gui's heart trembled, but she still said what was in her heart: "Princess, to say something that is taboo, I always feel that the fourth girl will harm the empress in the future." This is an intuition, without any reason, That's all she thinks.
Yuchen didn't expect Nanny Gui to be so hostile to Yuxi, so he said immediately: "Let's not say that what you said is your worry, just say that you really did this, have you thought about the consequences?" Once Yuxi Death does not do any harm to Yunqing, but it does great harm to her. Just because of an unwarranted worry, she killed her blood relatives. As long as there is even a little word of this matter, she will not only be betrayed by her natal family, but even the people next to her will have to be wary of her.
Nanny Gui sincerely admitted her mistake: "It's because I didn't think carefully." In fact, she just rushed to this point, and she didn't secretly plan to kill Yuxi.
After a pause, Nanny Gui said again: "Madam, why don't we put a few people around Miss Fourth. If Miss Fourth really thinks about it in the future, we can make preparations."
After a moment of silence, Yuchen nodded and said: "You arrange this matter. Yuxi is very vigilant, and the people who are arranged must be carefully selected, and there must be no flaws."
Sister Quan nodded and said: "Princess, don't worry, there will definitely be no mistakes."
The day before the Chinese New Year, Sister Quan led Sister Qu into the Duke's mansion to meet Yuxi. Nanny Qu is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a bun, two silver hairpins on her hair, and a raven blue dress that is about 100% new. The person is a little thin, but his expression is very peaceful.
Yuxi looked at Nanny Qu, and asked a question: "Your brothers and nephews treat you like this, do you hate them?" In fact, seeing Nanny Qu's expression, she knew the answer, but Yuxi asked this question on purpose One sentence.
Nanny Qu said: "Not to mention hate, they are already a group of irrelevant people to me." It would be a lie to say that they don't hate at all, but if she is asked to take revenge, she can't do it either. After all, she was from the Qu family, she couldn't do this murderous thing, so she had to stay away.
Yuxi asked again: "I want to marry to the northwest, and I probably won't be able to return to Beijing for the rest of my life. Mother Qu, are you really willing to go to the northwest with me?"
Nanny Qu said: "If I don't want to, I won't come." The conditions in the Northwest are tough, but no matter how hard it is, it won't be as hard as the general's wife, and they won't be able to starve their servants.
Yuxi looked at Nanny Qu, and said the last question: "If you want to stay, you must sign a contract of sale. However, I can guarantee that I will give you old age in the future."
Nanny Qu nodded without thinking, "Yes." She had already made preparations before coming. Since she knew what Yuxi had done to her mother, she let go of her last worry. Don't worry about being abandoned by the owner when you get old and can't move. This is not because Nanny Qu is worrying unnecessarily, but there are many precedents.
After signing the deed of sale, Nanny Qu became Tao Ranju's mother in charge, so the name naturally changed from Nanny Qu to Mama Qu. Now, there is only one cook missing.
A few days after the Chinese New Year, Qiu Shi told Yu Xi that he had found someone who was good at cooking. This person is also a child of the family. He is 27 years old this year and is already a mother of three children. His cooking skills are very good, so he was favored by the Qiu family.
When Yuxi heard that the other party was the mother of three children, she shook her head and said, "This is not acceptable." The three children must not go with them, and they will separate their flesh and blood. She still can't do this kind of thing. Furthermore, if you don't follow it sincerely, you will also leave troubles in the future.
Mother Li said beside her: "Girl, I have a candidate here, but I don't know if the girl will use it?" The candidate that Li's mother mentioned was the daughter of her husband's distant aunt. That woman also had a hard life. Her husband had an accident, and the girl who stayed behind also fell ill. Now that I have returned to my natal family, life is very difficult.
Before Yu Xi could open her mouth, Qiu Shi vetoed it first: "No, it's not auspicious, it won't work." If her husband and daughter die, it's fine on weekdays. This time Yuxi is going to marry someone, so it's unlucky to have such a person by her side.
Mother Li looked at Yuxi, and was a little disappointed to see that Yuxi did not speak.
Yuxi didn't care that the other party was a widow, nor did she think that the other party was unlucky. Just feel that a woman who has been so traumatized must not be in good health. Let her travel long distances for a few months, and if she can't make it to the border town 100%, then it will bring a burden.
Yuxi said: "Mother, let's put aside the matter of the cook first!" In fact, from what happened today, Yuxi realized that she had entered a dead end. Why did she have to find someone who is particularly good at cooking? Just find someone who is talented in cooking, and then train them well.
Nanny Gui knew that neither of the two candidates was selected, so she was a little frustrated, and said to Yuchen, "I don't know what kind of cook the fourth girl wants to choose?"
Yuchen is not surprised by this: "The kitchen is the most important thing, and now it is different from the past, Yuxi must be cautious." Yuchen actually thought too much, Yuxi considered many factors at this time, but She hadn't considered that someone would install a spy by her side, because her identity hadn't changed yet. But Yuxi didn't realize it, it doesn't mean the people around her didn't realize it.
That night, Mother Qu reminded Yuxi to be on guard against someone sneaking into her side. It's like saying, let Yuxi be on guard against someone who arranges to be by her side.
Yu Xi's eyes widened at first, and then she suddenly came to her senses. The fourth daughter of the Han family is naturally not worthy of someone's careful placement, but the future general's wife is different: "Thanks to my mother for reminding me." This is the benefit of having an experienced person by your side.
Mother Qu said: "This is what I should do. Girl, in fact, a cook doesn't have to find someone who can cook. It's also fine to find a maid who is talented in cooking."
Yuxi smiled and said: "I think so too. But it's not appropriate to make a public announcement about it." It's good to choose this person in private, and it's not appropriate to make a scene known to everyone. (to be continued)
