Chapter 45 Wine Poetry Party
Cao Shuxin's eyes, which had been washed by Buddhism for 20 years, suddenly showed a strong murderous atmosphere and talked about the past: "I was pregnant in the third month of marriage to the royal palace, but one day I accidentally turned red, and the child was inexplicably gone. I always thought it was an accident until I found the maid beside me. It's Sun Xunxiang's person. She has been tampering with my clothes and diet for a long time. Unfortunately, I have no evidence to testify against this poisonous woman to the prince. Until Sun Xunxiang was pregnant, I decided to retaliate against her in the same way.
Speaking of this, Cao Shu smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that she is too shrewd. Like you, she saw through my scheme early and made a plan. As a result, I became a sinner, and she was actually not pregnant at all, or she was a stone girl who could not be pregnant at all."
"Stone Girl?" Qin Yunuan was slightly shocked. Is it true that Leng Changxi is an illegitimate son in Beijing?
Cao Shuxin seems to understand Qin Yunuan's mind: "Leng Changxi can't be her son at all. He is just an abandoned baby raised by the prince from the palace. So, third young lady, do you still think that the relationship between you and Princess Ning's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really so stable? Does she really love you so much? Even her son was not born by herself, let alone a daughter-in-law married from another family.
Qin Yunuan stared at Cao Shuxin for a long time, and finally said leisurely, "But you did harm me with mother grass."
Cao Shu was stunned and seemed to nod inadvertently.
"That's it," Qin Yunuan snorted coldly, "how you and your mother don't do my business, and my mother have nothing to do with you. The inner house struggle has always been that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, which is the result you deserve."
"You can even buy my most trusted maid, Lu Lu," Cao Shu was depressed, but helpless. "You have the ability."
"As long as there is greed and desire in people's hearts, anyone can be bought." After saying that, Qin Yunuan turned around and left. If she was correct, Lu Er should have left the capital with a big silver ticket at this moment, with her sister whose legs were broken.
A month later, Qin Yunuan received the news that Cao Shuxin died of depression after returning to the Cao family in Yongzhou. Before his death, he was as thin as a firewood and did not have the elegant demeanor of marrying from the Cao family.
Although Leng Changxuan was in the royal palace and the king of Ning also strictly banned anyone in the mansion from condolences to Cao Shuxin, Leng Changxuan still pushed back the day of marrying his second wife again and again on the grounds of physical discomfort, and he lost a lot of weight in just a few days.
At the end of November, Qin Yuwan, the second daughter of the Qin family, officially came to the door. Although she married the son of her mother who died in the Ningwang Mansion and was still the step-in-law, she had already worked hard for Aunt Liu and Qin Yuwan.
One day, the sun was extremely good. Qin Yunuan was looking through the account books in the attic of the small pond. The transportation road on the other side of Beidi has been opened, and the continuous flow of silk cloth was sent from Luguan to Beidi. The business in the south of the Yangtze River is becoming more and more prosperous. Now Qin Yunuan is not said to be extremely rich, but half of the silk and satin business is already Under her name.
After a while, Ting Xue went up the stairs with a pot of blue and white wine pot: "Grandma, you asked me to find pear blossom wine."
Qin Yu warmly nodded and raised her hand and took a cup. She smelled it. The fragrance was elegant, the taste was mellow, and the teeth remained fragrant. It is the best pear blossom wine. Ning Wang loves to taste wine. In two days, it will be the wine poetry party that Ning Wang will hold every year. Qin Yu warms her daughter-in-law naturally. It also takes some effort to please King Ning.
Suddenly, there was a noise under the pond. Qin Yunuan looked up. The two angry people in the opposite corridor were not the newlywed Leng Changxuan and Qin Yuwan.
Although they were far apart, the two argued so loudly that Qin Yunuan could hear some of them.
"I just want to buy a hairpin. Why are you so stingy? I'm your wife. Do you embarrass me in public?" Qin Yuwan still has a young lady's temper.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore," Leng Changxuan looked coldly. Since Cao Shuxin died in Yongzhou, he hasn't smiled. "It's just that I haven't been in a good mood recently and don't want to see those colorful pearl jewelry. I will naturally buy you anything you want in the future." After saying that, he walked away directly.
In the attic, Man'er put a cup of gardenia tea and handed it to Qin Yuwen's hand: "I heard that after the second girl got married, she had such a big shelf. The next day after she crossed the door, she changed all the maids in the yard, but all the beautiful ones were demoted to the woodshed, leaving behind were some crooked melons and broken dates. This method must be learned from Aunt Liu. Of."
Qin Yunuan put down the account book and rubbed her sore shoulder: "Let's make trouble. She relies on Cao's side concubine now. She naturally be doting without her mother-in-law. Listening to her tone, it's just a jewelry. Why is the second young master so angry?"
"Where," Man'er lowered her voice and said, "Aren't those jewelry and clothes not taken back when Concubine Cao left? Those servants under the royal palace secretly took it and sold it. I heard that the jade hairpin that the second young lady liked this morning was Cao's favorite before her death. No wonder the second young master had such a big temper.
"Real?" Qin Yunuan raised her eyes and saw that Qin Yuwan in the distance was looking at herself with a look full of hostility and hatred. Qin Yuwan was jealous of Qin Yunuan's good life, and even more jealous that Qin Yunuan could wear gold and silver now. In two days, there would be a wine and poetry party. Qin Yuwan loved beauty, and this time she would dress up carefully.
Leng Changxi is relatively free these days. He and Qin Yunuan nestled in the room, covering the screen. In the daytime, Qin Yunuan went out to work with the wine and poetry meeting with Princess Ning, posting posts, picking snacks, arranging banquets, and talking with Leng Changxi's boudoir in the evening and trying to create people.
On the day of the poetry meeting, the sky was particularly clear, and the blue was like a spring of Tianshan Mountain.
Qin Yuwarn wore a rose-red pomegranate skirt, holding a simple and dignified fallen horse bun, and diagonally inserted a crimson begonia flower silk flower. After the bun, she smiled, which was full of charm and charm. If she didn't remind her, others would not remember that the third young lady of Ningwang Mansion had just experienced miscarriage.
"Yu Nuan is coming. Come on, sit down. Your second sister-in-law and fourth sister will arrive later." Princess Ning smiled and pulled Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan to sit beside her. Today, they were all from the Leng family. The second master of the West Mansion took the second wife and his only son Leng Qiguang.
After a while, Leng Suxin also arrived, leaving only Qin Yuwan. The first family banquet was late, which was somewhat bad. Li, the second wife of the West House, was also a provocative person. She opened her mouth and mocked, "Yo, I said that this Dongfu is the main room and the shelf. They are all bigger than us. Qiguang, have you seen it? You have to be promising in the future. Otherwise, your father and mother have been waiting for other people's lives all their lives. When can you let others wait for us?
The second master of Xifu is the direct younger brother of King Ning, but he is lazy and has done nothing. In addition, the Li family is domineering, which makes him more and more useless. However, saying this in front of King Ning and Princess Ning made him somewhat disgown.
"Some food won't gag your mouth. Say a few words to me." Master Leng Er reminded in a low voice.
At this time, the Tang family said again gloomyly: "The second lady can't say that. What does it mean that our Dongfu is arrogant? This young lady just got married. Naturally, she learned from her in her mother's family in the past. Isn't we can control what this mother's teaching?" As Tang said, he turned his eyes to Qin Yunuan. Qin Yunuan and Qin Yuzhao came out of the Qin family together. The Tang family obviously meant to drag Qin Yunuan into the water.
"My sister's words are serious." Princess Ning said seriously, "Yu Nuan and Yu Wan are of the same clan. Yu Nuan is extremely stable and reliable. Changxuan and Yu Wan are newly married. I'm afraid Yu Wan worked hard last night." After saying that, Princess Ning said softly to Leng Changxuan, "You also understand your daughter-in-law."
Leng Changxuan's face stiffened, but nodded and responded.
At this time, the servants happened to report that the second young lady was coming.
With a green symphony, a strong hibiscus-colored snow gauze first entered everyone's vision. Then, the pearl jasper butterfly and ruby tassel earrings almost stunned people's eyes. Qin Yuwan's gorgeous dress was very colorfully. Qin Yu warmly picked up the corners of his mouth slightly, and Qin Yu Wanguo However, it is still the taste of the Qin family, and I can't wait to wear all the good jewelry on my body.
But this dress is very much like a person...
"Who asked you to dress like this?" Leng Changxuan didn't care about it in front of so many people. He got up and rushed to Qin Yuwan, pinched Qin Yuwan's wrist with his big hand, lowered his head and saw the two transparent green emerald bracelets on his white and delicate hand. "And this bracelet, and the shake on your head, where did you come from?"
Qin Yuwan looked very wronged: "Didn't you buy it for others? Yesterday when you were away, the owners of those jewelry stores and silk and satin shops sent a lot of things, saying that someone had settled the bill. I thought it was from you..."
"It's funny." Leng Changxuan shook his head sarcastically, "Why should I give you these? Who do you think you are? My mother's concubine? What qualifications do you have to wear her jewelry? Huh? What qualifications do you have?"
Even though Leng Changxuan has desperately lowered his voice, Qin Yunuan, who is sitting nearby, can still hear it clearly. Leng Changxuan usually speaks little, but he has an absolute cleanliness fetish for the untouchable place in his heart.
Qin Yuwan stood in the center like a wooden chicken. Her dress quickly made King Ning and Princess Ning realize something, and King Ning's eyebrows had unconsciously tightened.
"Father, Yuwan is not feeling well. I'll help her go back to rest first." Leng Changxuan bowed his head and asked.
And Qin Yuwan suddenly looked at Qin Yunuan fiercely and shouted, "Qin Yunuan, it's you! You hurt me! You asked me to wear these dead things on my body.
