royal girl

Chapter 143 What do you want me to do

The meeting ceremony given by the eldest lady to drink tea with her daughter-in-law was quite impressive, a pair of jade bracelets of excellent quality, Huiyu looked at this pair of bracelets at least showed that the eldest lady still valued her daughter-in-law.The meeting gift given by Mrs. Dong Er still has its own characteristics. Five petals are made of five kinds of gemstones, the stamens are decorated with rice beads, and the body of the hairpin is made of red gold. It is really radiant and eye-catching.The value is definitely not as good as the pair of jade bracelets of the eldest lady, but the style is definitely new.

As a sister-in-law, Huiyu got a purse, which was very delicately made and contained things in it.What Dong Feiling got was also a purse embroidered by Yan Yibai himself. The two smiled at each other, and called "Sister-in-law" affectionately, and Yan Yibai's face turned red again.

This sister-in-law's appearance is really not very good, mainly because the daughters of the Dong family are all very good-looking, so Yan Yibai is slightly inferior in comparison.The personality is still unclear, but Huiyu feels that this sister-in-law is not easy to deal with. She only looks at Dong's door in front of so many people. cooked.After meeting with everyone, the eldest lady took the new daughter-in-law to see Mrs. Tai, and Huiyu went back with Mrs. Dong Er.

On the way back, Second Madam Dong suddenly smiled, turned to her daughter and said, "Your eldest aunt is not an easy daughter-in-law, you may look into it later."

"Where did you find out?" Huiyu always felt that Mrs. Dong's perspective on things was different from that of normal people. Could it be that Mrs. Dong's fault was discovered by Mrs. Dong in a place she didn't know?
When Mrs. Dong heard her daughter's question, she said: "Your aunt's meeting gift is expensive, and the meeting gift I gave is gorgeous, but you haven't seen the Yan family's daughter even change her expression, which shows that she has never seen the world." Yes. Girls in the boudoir, only when they hear a lot, see a lot, learn a lot, and know a lot, can they be so calm and composed."

Huiyu thought that this was really the case, and returned to the Liuli Pavilion and took out the meeting gift from Yan Yibai, opened the delicate purse and reached for it, but what she took out was a pair of earrings, with gold as the hook and pearl as the pendant. The bead is about the size of a thumbnail, it looks like the fluorescence is flowing, and the tentacles are warm, it is a rare good bead.

Huiyu laughed lowly, it seems that Mrs. Dong was right, and this sister-in-law is probably not a simple one.

Although the two families live in the Duke's Mansion, but because Mrs. Tai doesn't like to be lively, Huiyu and the others only invite Ann once every seven days or half a month, so they really don't see each other every day. rhythm.So even if Yan Yibai came in, Huiyu would not have the chance to see her every day, but she could hear a lot of rumors quietly circulating.

Huiyu is not interested in meddling in other people's housework when mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight each other.The Da Furen was born as the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and has been in charge of the Duke Ding's Mansion for many years, and she is also a more rigorous and prudent person. She didn't personally see the new daughter-in-law when she entered the house.Mother-in-laws always love to overwhelm their daughter-in-law, and Da Furen is no exception.However, although Yan Yibai is the daughter of a scholar family, it is obvious that for the rules of a century-old noble family like the Duke's Mansion, she hastily went to work after some emergency training. You can stand it, the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a natural advantage, and the daughter-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Sure enough, half a month after Yan Yibai came in, Dong Feiling bit Huiyu's ear when Dong Feiling came to visit for the first time.

"My sister-in-law is really stable. She wakes up early every day to say hello. There is never a sunset, and the hour is never late. She serves tea and water, squeezes her shoulders and beats her back, serves food and vegetables, and does everything without leaking. No matter what the mother says , Sister-in-law never said a word, filial obedience is the first priority, this is really good."

Huiyu was dumbfounded, looked at Dong Feiling and asked, "Is this how the aunt makes the daughter-in-law set the rules?" Isn't it a bit harsh, the Tai Furen has never made the Da Furen set the rules like this, has she?
When Dong Feiling heard this, she lowered her voice and said, "Mother did do this in the beginning, but grandma..."

At Mrs. Tai's place, Mrs. Tai only greets her once every seven or eight days and a half a month. With the example of Mrs. Tai standing upright, it is obvious that Mrs. Tai is a bit mean.Even if everyone doesn't say anything, can you still not understand it after looking at it?In fact, the eldest lady is a bit wronged by this secret loss. Since ancient times, it is only natural for a mother-in-law to let her daughter-in-law set the rules.However, the Mrs. Tai of the Dong family is not like the old Fengjun of other families who wants her daughter-in-law and grandchildren to pay her respects every day. The Mrs. Tai doesn’t like to be lively, and she doesn’t like everyone’s greetings every day, and it is passed down year after year. Who in the Dong family doesn't say Mrs. Tai is kind?

It's just that Mrs. Tai was not like this at the beginning. When Mrs. Tai came in as a new daughter-in-law, she naturally experienced some hardships in front of Mrs. Tai.But that happened many years ago, and the servants in the family were changed one after another. Most people today don't know the old things, so if the eldest lady wants to train her daughter-in-law the same way Mrs. Tai trained her, but It is a bit unfair to bear the name of an evil mother-in-law first.

Mrs. Tai is still there, and she has no intention of changing the rules. Mrs. Tai has been looking at Yan Yibai for the past few days, and she really can't make a mistake. Swallowing good words, she told her daughter-in-law that she didn't need to come to invite An Yunyun every day.However, Yan Yibai refused sternly and righteously, saying that it is only natural for juniors to serve their parents-in-law filially and dare not be lazy. Mother-in-law is kind, and daughter-in-law should not be pampered. After that, Yan Yibai became more diligent and filial every day. Madam's depressed face turned dark for several days.

This contest between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lasted for more than a month, and it was the perfect curtain call when Young Master Dong came forward in person.Neither can the daughter-in-law be unfilial, nor can the mother-in-law have a harsh reputation. Huiyu is actually very curious about how Brother Dong conquered this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!Although I don't know the process, but the result has come out. Mrs. Dong's greetings to her mother-in-law every day are indispensable, but there is no need to set up rules like before.The daughter-in-law respects her mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law treats her daughter-in-law kindly. Brother Dong is consummated.

There is such a kind of man who calls the wind and rain in the court, and holds the universe in his palm.Handle trivial matters in the inner house, clean and tidy.

Although Big Brother Dong is still far from being able to control the wind and rain in the court, but his ability in the inner house has already begun to show.Huiyu was actually quite upset. After transmigrating, she felt that if she wanted to marry a man, she should be someone like Brother Dong. , can cover his wife, Mrs. Dong has accumulated a few lifetimes of character and added such a good man!

Envy, jealousy, hatred, plus a mouthful of old blood!

Things in Beijing are complicated, and there are constant exchanges between families. Mrs. Dong follows her mother-in-law in and out as soon as she enters the house, while Huiyu still hides at home and does not go out.Now she is getting closer and closer to her wedding day, and she is being embroidered with embroidery needles by Mrs. Dong's dowry!Of course, the princess's wedding dress was prepared by the inner court, with high-grade make-up and fine embroidery, and the regulations on it were complicated. Even a family like Dingguo's mansion could not embroider it by itself, it had to be bestowed by the royal family.

Huiyu really didn't have much interest in needlework, but she couldn't be lazy in front of Mrs. Dong's second wife. When her mother became ruthless, she was so frightening.So under Mrs. Zhou's skinny eyes, Huiyu embroidered a pillowcase crookedly. It is estimated that the bottom of the box will never see the light in this life. It is too ugly.

Next year is the draft year again, so Beijing has started to be lively again, and the number of accounts who come and stay has increased significantly, but Huiyu is not a little excited.In the eyes of men, women have never been outdated in the exchange of benefits. In fact, although her marriage with Ji Qiyu was a crooked one, if she hadn't been born in Dingguo's mansion, no one could have predicted what the final outcome would be.

At the end of August, the news of the border war suddenly came. Because Xing Yulang had been sitting in the border for the past two years, even if there were some fights, it was just a small fight. I didn't expect that this time the movement was not small. When the news was received, the border gates had already been sealed.Huiyu suddenly remembered that Xing Yulang and Xing Xianzhi both died at the border in the original text, and her face turned pale all of a sudden.

Although many plots in the original text have changed their tracks, those places that have not been touched by Huiyu are still developing according to the original line.In the original text, Xing Yulang and Xing Xianzhi were assassinated and killed by people arranged by Ji Fuyan at the border. If this is true, then isn't it because the grandfather and the others are in danger?

Huiyu couldn't sit still all of a sudden, not to mention grandpa and cousin, where was her brother? Although Dong Yunji was unreliable and careless in doing things, he really didn't say anything to her sister.

This time the war came not only suddenly but also extremely ferociously. The Elder Master had not set foot in the backyard for half a month, and spent the whole day studying countermeasures with his staff in the study.Whenever there is a war, there will be a lot of quarrels in the court. Armaments and equipment, food and supplies, and horses and soldiers are all troublesome things.

As long as Huiyu thinks of Gu Cang, he can't calm down. After all, he can't help but ask Ji Qiyu out to meet him. At least Ji Qiyu knows a lot about him, and there are some things for him. It makes sense to say that the important thing is that the two of them will be grasshoppers in the same rope for the rest of their lives, so even if Huiyu doesn't trust others, you can still believe that Ji Qiyu doesn't want the people on her boat to make mistakes.

To be honest, Ji Qiyu was quite surprised that Yu Huiyu took the initiative to ask him out. After all, this little girl is as cautious as a fox, but as long as he thinks of what happened recently, he knows why.

"Ancient Cang?" Ji Qiyu frowned and looked at Huiyu, "How do you know that this man's tricks are not right?"

"It's not that Gu Cang's intentions are wrong, it's just that he has a different stand." Hui Yu couldn't explain to Ji Qiyu for a while, after all, if Ji Qiyu asked her how she knew these things, she couldn't answer, she could only be vague He said: "During the days when I stayed at the border, I discovered some things, so this time the battle started hastily and inexplicably, and I always feel uneasy. Now my grandfather, my cousin and my brother are all fighting with each other. The enemy is fighting bloody battles, even if my letter is delivered, it can only be regarded as an ordinary letter from home and put aside. But the prince is different, so Huiyu dared to ask the prince for this favor."

Ji Qiyu's clear eyes looked at Dong Huiyu, Huiyu didn't dare to look directly at him for a while, turned her head slightly, and heard Ji Qiyu's faint sigh.

She was also at a loss, in fact, if she found Dong Yuncheng, this matter could be resolved, but she didn't want more people to know or even discover her secret, so even if she knew that asking Ji Qiyu for help was not the best solution , but she has no other choice.

"Why are you looking for me?" Ji Qiyu looked at Huiyu and asked, "I'm not the only one you can look for."

"My lord, why bother to ask?"

"You are wrong. This king doesn't know, so I have to ask."

"If the prince must have an answer, then the prince and I will be a family after all, so there is nothing we can't say."

"Dong Huiyu, you'd better remember what you said today!"

Huiyu was slightly startled, and couldn't figure out what Ji Qiyu meant by this for a while, so she could only nod her head in agreement.

Ji Qiyu didn't refuse, she agreed to this matter, and sent back the news soon, Huiyu's heart was considered to be Weiwei's peace of mind.What happened next was beyond Huiyu's control. How could women be allowed to discuss important military affairs?
Mrs. Dong's complexion has not been very good recently. Like Huiyu, she is very worried about her father and son at the border.Although they are in-laws, Dafang and Xing's family are just in-laws, not their own father and son who are fighting, so there must be no suffering and worries of Huiyu and Mrs. Dong Er.So at least on the surface, the Duke's Mansion still looked normal, but the eldest lady also came to comfort Mrs. Dong, and the affection between the sisters-in-law was enough.

The Marquis of Bei'an recently closed its doors to thank guests, Uncle Xing and Uncle Xing have both been so busy recently that they are both thin and out of shape.The father is always on the knife edge, as a son, he can't replace him with his body, and he is already in tears.However, some people in the court were struggling to replenish the reserve food, grass and equipment, and the two uncles were also exhausted in the court hall, feeling quite tired.

Both Huiyu and Mrs. Dong Er are housewives, and Master Dong Er is not an official about the outside affairs, so he must not be as clear as the elder master knows.Moreover, the Elder Master does not have time to communicate with his younger brother about the current situation every day, so at this time, it is best to see that in a family without any support, if the man cannot support the family, he can only rely on the support of the big tree. At that time, the kind of torment in my heart can't be described in words.

Huiyu and Mrs. Dong went to the Marquis of Bei'an twice, but they didn't dare to go to her natal house all the time at this time, and the two aunts knew a little more about the situation than Huiyu's mother and daughter.

Sitting at home, with no way to get any news from outside, Huiyu really felt helpless.They can't even inquire with anyone, and they have to show a particularly confident look when they meet outsiders.

It really drives people crazy.

"What do you think is the use of me marrying him? It's really going to be a critical moment, and it's useless at all. Now if you want to know any news from outside, you have to look at other people's faces." Mrs. Dong Er has been ignorant of what's going on outside for five or six days. , I couldn't help complaining in front of my daughter when I got anxious, and felt that it was inappropriate to say the words, so I could only look out the window with red eyes and said nothing.

Huiyu is also concerned, they are not at the border, nor at Bei'anhoufu, but in the capital, at Dong's house.Moreover, the Dong family is honorable, so they basically have to keep a silent attitude on such matters. It is definitely not a good thing for a family to get involved.Mr. Dong should be thinking more about Duke Dingguo's mansion. If anything happens to the Marquis of Bei'an, all he can do is to do his best to show his in-law's affection, and there is no need to count on more.

"Don't worry, uncle will definitely get the news if you wait any longer. As long as there is news, he will definitely tell us, there is no point in worrying." Huiyu could only comfort Second Madam Dong in this way.

The eyes of the two mothers and daughters are facing each other, and they are both a little bit concerned.

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Dong raised her head and sneered, "It's us little girls who are most helpless in time, even if our hearts are broken, we can't do anything about it."

"Mother..." Huiyu held Mrs. Dong's hand. The noble ladies looked dignified, but they were actually not as good as country girls. At least they could show their faces and ask for news, but they couldn't.

The pink door curtain embroidered with cherry patterns was lifted, and Xueying walked in with a smile on her face, "I have seen the lady, I have seen the girl." Then she looked at Huiyu and said: "Girl, the letter from shopkeeper Kan .”

Huiyu and Mrs. Dong took a look at Xueying, and then heard the girl say another sentence, "The prince entrusted the shopkeeper Kan to pass it on, saying that it was the latest situation at the border. I know that the lady and the girl are in the inner house and cannot get it." Knowing the situation ahead, I am worried and unbearable, so I sent it specially."

Mrs. Dong Er's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and Huiyu also felt the breath in her heart relieved.Who would have thought that Ji Qiyu would go out of their way to inquire about the situation ahead for them at a time like this.As a canonized prince, Ji Qiyu, if someone finds out about doing such a thing, it will inevitably be a bad handle, and if it is serious, it will label you as coveting military power.

Mrs. Dong Er received the letter, told the maids to back down, and said to Huiyu, "I didn't expect that I didn't enjoy your father's blessing in my life, but I still have a son-in-law to count on."

Huiyu saw that Mrs. Dong was able to open a joke, so she knew that she was in a better mood, but Ji Qiyu's trick was really good.The two women who were locked in the backyard didn't know any news from the outside world. Ji Qiyu was simply sending charcoal in a timely manner. I'm afraid that after this incident, his position in Mrs. Dong's heart will be soared to the point of being a good son-in-law.

Just when Huiyu was thinking wildly, Mrs. Dong Er had already opened her heart and looked at it unceremoniously.Sure enough, what Ji Qiyu thought was thoughtful, although it was sent in the name of Kan Zhiyi, but the content of the letter was to greet the second wife of Dong, and the expression of the second wife of Dong softened a little, and she thought proudly that it was finally this The son-in-law is not bad.It was not pleasing to the eye before, but now I feel that the critical moment can still be pointed at.

Being able to point at this critical moment, the weight is different. This is equivalent to treating Ji Qiyu as a person who can be relied on.

Seeing Mrs. Dong's happy expression, Huiyu couldn't help but poke her head over and take a look. Looking at the line of words that raised her head, the corners of her mouth twitched.

After reading the letter, Mrs. Dong Er gave the letter to Huiyu, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, your grandfather and the others are finally safe and sound. My heart can't stop day and night."

"Grandpa has guarded the border for many years, and he has his own ups and downs in his heart. Mother doesn't have to worry too much."

"That's what I said, but Ah Li can really be so relieved."

Huiyu looked at what was written in Ji Qiyu's letter, and she simply explained what happened between the lines. There will be some movement at the border every year, but this year because a large tribe of foreign tribes changed their leaders, and they are more ambitious. war.However, when the grandfather ascended to the position of leader, he took strict precautions, so the enemy's surprise attack did not cause any major damage.Hui Yu looked down again, her pupils couldn't help shrinking, and saw that Ji Qiyu wrote later that Gu Cang was not able to lead the army and was seriously injured, and now he is trying his best to treat him, whether he can survive is still unknown.

Unexpectedly, Huiyu just guessed like this, and it would come true.It seems that the foreign invasion is indeed related to Gu Cang, but does this matter have anything to do with Ji Fuyan?After all, based on the current situation, Ji Fuyan must have done this kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit himself because he has nothing to do.In the original text, such a thing should happen when the battle for the throne is crucial, so what is the purpose of qualifying ahead of schedule now?
Could it be that Xing Yulang took advantage of the trend to get rid of the scourge of Gu Cang?

Or did Gu Cang want to replace Xing Yulang and act without authorization behind Ji Fuyan and others in Kyoto?

No matter which one it is, the result is now clear. This war was caused by internal fighting.Seeing that Gu Cang was seriously injured and still struggling on the verge of life and death, Hui Yu let go of her heart. At least if Xing Yulang followed the trend in this battle, it would be a matter of time before she won.

With Ji Qiyu as an intelligence station, Second Madam Dong and Huiyu knew the news from the front line more quickly and accurately. In addition, the scourge of Gu Cang had been caught, so Huiyu had nothing to worry about.

After another month, finally came the news that General Gu Cang was seriously injured in defending against foreign enemies and finally passed away.The reason why Gu Cang colluded with foreign enemies was not uncovered, Huiyu thought that perhaps Xing Yulang did not want to cause large-scale internal strife among Gu Cang's subordinates, and wanted to transition in a gentle manner. It is the calmest and the most feasible.

It's just depressing, the fucking villain still wants to give him credit and let him be buried honorably,
After Gu Cang's death, the battle did not end in the shortest time, it lasted for more than half a year, and it was not stabilized until the end of autumn.In the past half a year, the capital has suffered various injustices because of this war, but Huiyu is still just a girl waiting for a baby, and the affairs of Dingguo's mansion will naturally be dealt with by the elder, and human relations are the elder's responsibility, so There are many things that Huiyu can't help even if she intervenes.Therefore, the position of Mrs. Zhang is the most important at this time.

The weather is cool and the leaves are yellow.

After Huiyu met Ji Qiyu again, the news came from the frontier that he had won a big victory, and that Xing Yulang would return to Beijing to offer up captives. After six months of training, Huiyu felt that he could already adapt to the ancient women's life. a living habit.Why is a man the sky?That's because women can't walk around outside, can't go to the court to be an official, and can't make any comments on the current situation outside. Only men can do these things.

Therefore, Huiyu believed that the position she had given Ji Qiyu before was not wrong at all.

At this time, when I saw him again, I sincerely thanked him.

Ji Qiyu put down the teacup in his hand, clasped his slender fingers together, and looked at Huiyu with a half-smile, "So, this is the only word of thanks for me?"

"Then what does the prince want? As long as the little girl can do it, she must not hesitate!" Huiyu really thought so this time. Ji Qiyu can do such a thing this time, she really sees it. This is where he attaches great importance to this marriage.In the past, whether it was the racecourse or the salt business, Huiyu didn't think it was important.But Ji Qiyu was able to take such a big risk to spy on the border affairs and send them a letter just for peace of mind, even the hero Ji Fuyan would not do such a thing.

If it is known, this crime is enough to convict him, and even the title of prince can be taken away.

Therefore, Huiyu also wanted to know what Ji Qiyu wanted to do.
