But She’s So Charming - Chapter 83
After the winter hunting, Cheng An rejected Liu’s marriage as soon as he returned to Cheng’s house.
No matter what Yang asked, she kept silent. Later, she was forced by Yang to have nowhere to go, so Cheng Xi had no choice but to grab a reason.
She said that after this trip, she found out that she prefers to be a flower of wealth in Beijing. If she becomes Mrs. Liu in the future, let alone hunting, she won’t even be able to go to the palace banquet during the new year.
Although she felt far-fetched after listening to this reason, Yang did not force her anymore. There are a hundred ways of living for a hundred people in this world. The child is unwilling to follow the path she arranged, so naturally he has his own. Attention.
In this way, it is also good.
The wind in the twelfth lunar month was bitterly cold, and the gray clouds lay straight in the air, appearing cramped and depressed, even when Yue’er turned to the clouds, there was no gleam in sight.
The biting cold wind was like a steel wire, piercing the window of the boudoir, and hit Cheng Xi’s body.
Cheng Xi was seriously ill after returning to the house. She was sitting on the soft couch with her legs bent, her hands wrapped around her knees, her eyes were hollow, and it was definitely not the way she was talking and laughing in the day.
She was immersed in her own world and couldn’t extricate herself. Even Yiner called her “girl” three times before she was willing to respond.
I have to say that some things will become clearer the longer I keep in my mind. On the day of her return home, she would sit in the bathtub regardless of ordering people to prepare water for a day.
She rubbed a whole piece of soap corners, but she still couldn’t wipe off the dirty marks on her body.
As long as she remembered that she had been fiddled with by someone pushing it on the bed, the blood all over her body seemed to flow out of seven holes.
She leaned against the window curtain, staring at the burning flame on the bedside “whooping”, looking at it, and suddenly felt that she was very much like a candle. She thought that her life would be like this candle, which could be bright and dazzling all the time, but she didn’t expect that she would end up burning out.
It will be clear that Cheng Xi finally got tired. Just closing her eyes, she heard Yin’er rush in and said, “Girl, it’s okay.”
Cheng Xi didn’t open his eyes, but said lightly: “What’s wrong?”
“Shizi, Ning Guohou Shizi, in the wife’s room.”
“What! What is he here for?” Cheng Xi said vigilantly.
“Said it was… to propose a marriage.”
As soon as the voice fell, Cheng Xi’s gloomy eyes finally aroused anger.
Cheng Xi hurried to the Qinyuan. Before she even entered the door, she heard the sound of the tea bowl drunk on the ground.
The moment she opened the door, the golden rimmed glass cup happened to finish the last lap on the futon on the ground.
Cheng Xi looked at the red eyes of the second lady, panicked, and immediately rushed to Ning Ye, a little excited: “What are you doing! What did you say to my mother! What did you say!”
Ning Ye’s throat tightened when she asked, and she couldn’t say a word.
To be honest, he rushed to propose marriage today for many reasons. Firstly, he was really guilty and panicked. Secondly, his mother was looking around for him again, asking him to get married at the end of the next year.
But when he did something like this to the second **** the front foot, he became relatives with other noble daughters on the back foot. No matter how shameless he was, he would not be able to pass the hurdle of conscience. Therefore, he had to carry his mother on his back and came to Cheng Guogong in an unruly manner. House.
He thought that instead of marrying someone else, it would be better to marry the second girl, who was equal to his family, and his mother would definitely be happy too. What’s more, her marriage to Liu’s family has been ruined, and she had done that with him again. It would be difficult to remarry. If the two families get married, it would be the best of both worlds.
But he had counted all kinds of interests, but he didn’t expect that after such a major event, the second girl in Cheng had even concealed his mother from it.
This shows that she didn’t want to have anything to do with herself.
Yang held the red-eyed Cheng Xi in his arms and whispered softly to her ear: “Xi’er, it’s okay, it’s okay, the sky is falling, and there is a mother who will carry it for you.”
Hearing Yang’s coaxing, the sourness in Cheng Xi’s heart instantly overflowed.
She was really unfilial, her mother was already sick, she actually caused such a disaster.
Yang patted her on the shoulder, “Xi’er, obedient, you go back to the room first, I have a few words to say with the son.” Then, Yang asked her mother Li to push Cheng Xi out.
Talking about the marriage of her daughter’s family, she is here, it is not reasonable after all.
As soon as the door was closed, the Yang family asked Ning Ye about the medicine. She was still angry about who would do such a nasty thing at the banquet set up by His Majesty, but after Ning Ye finished speaking, the Yang family only knew about it. How difficult to deal with.
If there were only aristocrats at the banquet, it would be fine, but how should you investigate that house of dancers!
Not to mention that these dancers were given by your majesty himself, but that at this moment, they should almost all become concubine rooms.
Yang’s brows furrowed, and he didn’t think of a good way for a while, just thinking about waiting for the second master to come back and discuss it.
However, these are not what hurts the second lady the most. What hurts the most is that even if this vicious person is caught, Cheng Xi’s innocence will not come back.
Ning Ye didn’t lie a word the whole time, so he told the truth one by one about the wine he had drunk from the dancing girl.
But even so, the Yang family can’t blame him, this Ning Guohou Shizi is a man who doesn’t even have a regular wife, let alone drinking a glass of wine, it’s okay to accept those women.
Just as the Yang family was frowning, Ning Ye respectfully knelt down in front of the Yang family.
He slowly opened his mouth and said: “This happened because of me, and Shi Yun is really to blame. No matter what, I really want to marry the second girl. If I get the approval of the wife, I will arrange everything.”
“But if the second girl really hates me, I won’t force it.” Ning Ye’s eyes are clear and sincere, it can be seen that he is here this time without any intention of persecution.
To be honest, aside from the thoughts of those daughters, the person who came today is Ning Ye. It is a blessing in misfortune. As far as he dares to act, even if Yang does not say it, it is still in my heart. Appreciated.
Moreover, she has always admired Ning Guo’s deeds. Ning Ye does not have a regular wife, so marrying Xi’er is indeed the best choice.
But sometimes it is difficult. This emotional matter is barely possible. The beginning of these two children is not beautiful, how can they spend this long life together.
“You get up first, I will talk to her about Xi’er.”
Ning Ye also knew that the matter was in a hurry, so after giving a big gift, he returned to the Hou Mansion.
As soon as he left, Yang fell onto the bed. When Cheng Xi was there, she felt hard in her heart and didn’t dare to show it. After all, if she fell first, who would support Xi’er? A piece of sky?
When the Erfang was in a mess, Tang Wu also got into a dilemma.
The day after returning home, Tang Wu got on the carriage arranged by King Ying for her and went to Hualiu Alley on Yongyang Street.
-Jun Meng Yuan.
She looked at the three-character plaque with a black lacquer and gold background, but she felt like a world away.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she saw the red curtains spreading everywhere. Behind the curtains, there was endless laughter.
The shameful words are intertwined with the hearty laughter, as if this place has become a place of bliss without worries and sorrow.
But let alone, Hualiu Lane on Yongyang Street, the business is really prosperous for ten years, singing and dancing orchestra, silk and bamboo music, never stop, whether it is a drought, a flood, an attack by the enemy, or a change of dynasty, it seems This place will not be affected.
The little servant downstairs looked at Tang Wu who was wearing a drapery hat, and immediately molested him, “Dare to ask if the girl is here to find someone or to do work?”
Tang Wu grinned when he heard this. By the way, this little servant is also known as Dingke.
If you want to ask what Dingke means, you have to ask what the men who come here are most afraid of?
The answer to this question is obvious-of course, I am afraid that the tigress at home will come to the door with a kitchen knife.
After all, such a thing is simply a nightmare.
The men who have had this experience either were so scared that they lost interest for a few months, or they completely tore their faces with their own mother-in-law. In short, there was no good result. Therefore, in order to keep the benefactor, these Goulan Washers specialize in There were a few top guests downstairs.
If you take one, you will get ten taels of silver.
The little servant looked at Tang Wu not answering, and continued: “Could it be that the girl also came to plant green capers on your husband’s head?”
“I’m looking for Gu Jiuniang and take me to the old spring pavilion.” The old spring pavilion, the secret room of Jun Mengyuan, would not be known easily.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the young man’s face immediately changed.
“Who are you?” Xiao Si looked wary.
Tang Wu took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and put it in his hand, “Don’t be nervous, I used to be a girl here. I came to see Jiuniang today, but I have something to ask her.” Tang Wu said so, naturally there is a reason. Yes, without him, there are too many privates in this place, and all the servants are clever. Whenever they find something wrong, their first action is to set fire to the things in the old spring pavilion.
The young man weighed a dozen silver dollars in his hand, glanced suspiciously at Tang Wu, and said with a smile: “Oh, it turns out to be his own.”
The little servant took Tang Wu all the way, and as soon as he went up to the second floor, the little servant turned left.
Tang Wu said: “It’s on the right.”
The little boy stiffened, and then he corrected his expression and said: “I’m disrespectful just now.”
Tang Wu knocked on the door of the old spring pavilion, lightly and heavily, and in a moment, Ning Zhi opened the door inside.
At this time Gu Jiuniang was taking care of the peony, Tang Wu just called “Jiu Niang”, and a pair of scissors fell.
Tang Wu took off her veil, and Gu Jiuniang was shocked, “Wu’er…You are not already…” The news that the side concubine of Prince Ying gave birth to Princess Changning and returned to the west, Gu Jiuniang couldn’t be ignorant.
But with Tang Wu’s small face, Gu Jiuniang wouldn’t admit that she was wrong. She took two steps before she took Tang Wu’s hand and started crying.
He looks very sad.
Tang Wu didn’t intend to greet her too much. The reason was simple. Gu Jiuniang personally taught her tearful kung fu. Whether it was true or not, you can tell at a glance.
Tang Wu put King Ying’s token on the table and said directly: “Today, I’m here to take care of Jiuniang for something.”
Gu Jiuniang looked at this token for a long time, and finally gave Chun Xiao’s scalping brochure to Tang Wu.
In addition to its stronger medicinal properties than other love potions, this Chunxiao has another characteristic, which is that it is difficult to preserve.
Even if it is placed in a cool place, after two months, the potency of the medicine will be much worse than before, so if you buy this medicine, you have to use it as soon as possible. Similarly, the bowl of medicine that Ning Guohou Shizi was given by others must be in Bought within two months.
This thick booklet was really not easy to find. King Ying sent his own soldiers to search for three days before he found the suspicious person—a Wang Xiaosi.
But Tang Wu never expected that through this little servant’s mouth, she would know a piece of news that made her at a loss.
This medicine was bought by Aunt Sui from Erfang.
Because of this matter, Tang Wu didn’t sleep all night, she thought for a long time and didn’t know whether this thing should be given to the second room.
She had a good relationship with Cheng Xi, so she knew about the second room. She was not afraid that the news would make the second room open the pot. She was afraid that the evidence in her hand would be the last straw to crush Yang’s.
