Chapter 29
Li Jingyun returned to the main courtyard, sat lazily on the soft couch, and was about to speak, when he suddenly bumped into Yin Huayue's smiling face with blinding eyebrows.
Reaching out his hand to hold his heart, he stepped back: "What is this good for?"
Hua Yue approached him diligently, poured tea for him obediently, held the candied fruit in front of him, and smiled: "Looking at the son's face is not very good, if there is anything, just tell the servants."
Li Jingyun squeezed a candied fruit and put it in his mouth, and said vaguely, "I have a lot of free time today, what can I do?"
"Isn't the son worried about how to deal with the eldest princess?" She blinked, "Have you thought of a way?"
His eyes moved slightly, and Li Jingyun continued to bite the candied fruit calmly: "How about a way, I really think of one."
"Oh?" Hua Yue paused, trying to make herself less urgent, and only asked, "Can you tell the servants?"
After clapping the icing on his hands, Li Jingyun looked at Fang Liang and hummed: "Miss Gaomen who is willing to be a top bird is not easy to find, and ordinary girls who want to live a rich life are not just grabbing one? The order of Da Liang's re-wives has always been It is to marry a wife first and then take a concubine, if the master takes a concubine first, within a year, he will not be able to have a full wife."
When Hua Yue heard this, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but pull to her ear: "Young master, you can think of this."
"It's also a last resort." Li Jingyun sighed sadly.
Kneeling and sitting down by the soft couch, she asked cautiously, "Do you have a choice?"
"It's just a concubine. If you want a concubine, you can pick one at random on the street, or go to Qifeng Tower to redeem one." He raised his head and glanced out, and said casually, "Let Liu Chenghe help you choose."
"What do you mean by the people who want to be by your side, don't you go and see for yourself?"
"Anyway, it's taken back and put there, there's nothing to see." He waved his hand, opened the book on the soft couch, and put it on his face.
The eyes darkened, the scent of books and ink filled his nose, Li Jingyun relaxed, but his ears were listening intently to the side.
He heard Yin Huayue rubbing the fabric, and then stood up on the footstool by the soft couch, hesitantly opened his mouth to inhale, and swallowed the breath abruptly.
It's really hesitant.
Everyone went to the edge of the pit. Li Jingyun was in no hurry and waited patiently. After a while, she heard her say: "Liu Gongzi is also busy on weekdays. Would you like a servant to take a look at this matter for you?"
"You?" The eyes covered by the book were full of smiles, but Li Jingyun's tone was normal, "Do you know what your father likes?"
The man knelt down and sat back again, leaned beside him and said, "I don't know, but the son can give some pointers."
Taking the book down, his face returned to an indifferent and calm expression, Li Jingyun glanced at her, and hummed: "Master likes obedient and obedient people, it is best to keep your words less, not to be annoying, to have a beautiful and picturesque appearance, with a waist and limbs. Be as soft as a willow."
Raising her brows, Hua Yue took the green-twig bottle that was on the side and pointed to the slender neck and the painting on it: "Is this like this?"
Li Jingyun: "..."
Angrily, he took the vase in her hand and threw it into the soft couch. He said, "You have such bad eyesight, so don't interfere."
"Young master, calm down." Hua Yue hurriedly smiled, "Just talk about it, the slaves will definitely choose for you with all their heart."
"When you're done, hand Geng Tie to Master." He put the book back on his face again.
Huayue should be, got up and wanted to leave, but couldn't help but ask one more question: "If the person you choose meets the requirements, but doesn't suit your eyes—"
"It doesn't matter." Li Jingyun said in a sullen voice, "If you meet the requirements, you can submit Geng Tie. Master is not that picky."
With a sigh of relief, she saluted him and exited the main house with a complicated look.
The pages of the book slipped down against the tip of his nose, and Li Jingyun watched the door slowly close, the corners of his lips twitched, and the ink in his eyes flowed.
Walking in the corridor calmly, Hua Yue tried to comfort herself, she just left a way out for herself, and she didn't have to go up there. She knew how much Li Jingyun didn't want to see her. Self-inflicted humiliation.
However, just after thinking about it, she saw Wen Guzhi who was hurriedly coming here.
"Yinzhang thing." Wen Guzhi sighed when he saw her, "Are you here to watch the fun?"
Hua Yue saluted him, and then asked in confusion, "What's the fun?"
"The girl named Sishui died in the inn outside the palace." Wen Guzhi raised his sleeves to cover his nose, feeling dizzy and nauseous, "I just came from there, and the death was too tragic."
"Dead..." Taking a deep breath, Hua Yue was shocked, "Dead?"
"Yeah, I don't know who did it, not even a whole corpse. The crown prince and the eldest princess have gone to see the hunt, and maybe they haven't received the news yet. When they come back, it will definitely be another bloody storm. "
Wen Guzhi said, and shook his head again: "If you want to say that this death has nothing to do with the eldest princess, I don't believe it, but there is no evidence at the moment, I guess it can only be left to nothing in the end, the fate of the servant is so miserable... ...Hey? Master Yin, are you alright?"
Hua Yue smiled gently: "What can the servant do?"
Wen Guzhi looked at her face in astonishment: "It's all white and sweaty. Look, you're still weak, right? Come and I'll check your pulse."
"No need." She waved her hand embarrassingly and said hesitantly, "The servant is fine, but I'm a little frightened. After all, it is the person of His Royal Highness that died like this."
Wen Gu knew it was not surprising: "There are so many people around the prince, and this one doesn't even have a name, what's the point? But she is also courting death herself, knowing that the eldest princess is not easy to provoke, she still quarrels with that maid in front of the third master. ."
Hua Yue smiled even more falsely: "That maid...isn't she just a servant next to Miss Han?"
"The servant also sees who is behind, that little girl is very bad, she likes to talk, but she is caught by the handle and swaying in front of Han Shuang, Han Shuang will cry with the eldest princess again, then Is there any good fruit like water to eat?" He laughed.
Shaking her body, Hua Yue tremblingly supported the stone pillar beside her.
Wen Guzhi looked at her worriedly: "Are you really okay?"
Shaking her head weakly, she held the stone pillar and looked at the top of the mountain in the distance, and asked with a trembling voice, "Master Wen, which is more important, face or life?"
He scratched his head inexplicably, and after reviewing it, he knew: "Nature is life, why would you rather be a jade than a tile, it's all nonsense, if it's a tile, it's not bad if it's broken or not, isn't it good to leave a living head for yourself? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the man was silent for a moment before meeting, his amber pupils swayed, a little dazed, and a little decisive, like a dead man who had rushed to the battlefield.
After a while, she returned to her normal state and smiled at him: "Thank you, Lord Wen, the slaves will retire first."
Wen Guzhi nodded, his eyes swept across her thin body and pale complexion, and he still couldn't help sighing.
The third master is not a human being, what is he doing?
"Ah-"
Li Jingyun lay comfortably on the soft couch and sneezed for no reason. He got up in confusion and looked at it, and found that it was already time for lunch.
The door was pushed open, and Yin Huayue came in with a tray: "Master."
Li Jingyun turned his head to look and raised his eyebrows slightly.
There was only a plain silver hairpin on the head before, but now there is a bead flower, which is inserted obliquely in the cloud bun, adding two points of beauty to her. This man changed out of the squirrel robe, and only wore a water-colored skirt with a lotus-white top, which matched the spring color outside. The light blue strap was wrapped around his waist, which was really soft like a willow leaf.
With a smile in his eyes, Li Jingyun pretended not to see anything, and only asked, "What is lunch?"
The person in front of her was a little lost, her skirt swayed slightly, and she seemed more hesitant, but after a moment, she calmed down and replied with a smile, "It's the wild boar cooked by the cook, and the pheasant and rabbits that I've hunted these days. became a delicacy."
Slowly moving to the table, Li Jingyun took two bites with his chopsticks.
Huayue stood beside him, started to prepare vegetables for him, and put the soup on the side first, and then looked at him quietly.
Probably because he was a little uncomfortable to see, he frowned: "Why are you talking so little today."
Hua Yue pursed her lips and whispered: "The slaves don't talk much on weekdays."
Coughing lightly against his fist, he suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "Then go down, and the Lord will also be quiet in front of his eyes."
After a slight pause, Hua Yue nodded obediently, and bowed to step back.
Li Jingyun glanced out of the corner of the eye, and saw that the man froze halfway back, pinched his cuffs with his fingers, and walked back slowly: "Sir, this servant has something to report."
"Say."
Sandalwood incense curled around the room, and the food on the table was fragrant. People should be relaxed when they were in it, but Yin Huayue tensed up, and even her eyelids were tight.
"Young master's idea of setting up a concubine to stop his wife is indeed feasible, but the madam and the general must be angry. If someone else enters the manor for this reason, life will inevitably be dire." She squeezed her hands and said, "Thinking about it, this servant has an idea. "
A Geng post was handed under his eyelids, but Li Jingyun didn't even look at it, his eyes fell directly on her curled and whitish fingers, and two points of playfulness floated in his eyes.
"What's the idea, let's hear it."
Hua Yue looked at Geng Tie in embarrassment: "Would you like to take a look at this first?"
"I don't know if you look at it, you say it first." He folded his arms, like an old fisherman who was about to collect his net, waiting unhurriedly.
Her lips were almost bleeding, and Huayue hesitated.
"Louder." He was impatient.
Taking a deep breath, Hua Yue mustered up all the courage in her life, and suddenly shouted: "It's better to accept slaves, slaves, slaves, obedient, and obedient, although not beautiful, but eat well. It won't make the lady unhappy and won't cause trouble to the son."
After speaking without panting in one breath, Huayue sighed how powerful she was, then held her breath and waited for the answer in front of her.
Her idea was actually a good one. It could save money, help, and save her own life. Although being Li Jingyun's concubine is also on the cusp, but compared to being dismembered and unable to call for help, this road is really wide and wide.
However, when the person in front of him heard it, there was no response for a long time.
Her heart sank a little bit, Yin Huayue remembered the person who laughed at her last time, her eyelashes trembled, and she began to feel a trace of regret.
What would Li Jingyun think of her? The shameless servant tried to climb the high branch of the master, instead of keeping his duty as a slave, he thought about how to fly to the branch, which was simply brazen and daring.
The righteousness in front of the people is awe-inspiring, and the people behind them hook up with the master fox spirit!
The more she thought about it, the more desperate she became. Hua Yue took a half step back and murmured, "This servant is joking, so don't take it to heart. The servant is just watching you idle in the house today, I'm afraid you will be bored..."
Before he finished speaking, his wrist tightened.
The smile in Li Jingyun's eyes almost burst out, but in view of the last tragedy, he didn't dare to laugh anymore, and forced himself to say with a straight face: "Do you want to be the concubine of the master?"
"That's not what it means." She smiled awkwardly and grabbed her hand. "The servant just thinks... being a vase in your yard can also ward off disasters, which is easier than outsiders."
This person really doesn't know how to lie. Whenever he lies, his earlobes turn red, his eyes roll around, and his face is sullen. With her "Yin Zhangshi" demeanor, she looks very cute.
If it wasn't for the fear that the dog would be in a hurry to bite, he would really like to squat down to tease and tease.
Opening the Geng post in his hand, "Yin Huayue" and her birth date were written on it unsurprisingly. Li Jingyun only glanced at it and closed it, reluctantly said, "You seem to be right when you say that."
The dying Yin Zhangshi suddenly came to life as if he had been beaten with blood. She pinched her hands and looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Master, did you agree?"
"Didn't you say it, it's the same for everyone. You are from the General's Mansion, so you should come faster." There was no joy on his face, and the whole person looked like he was picking cabbage in the vegetable market. The uncle, "Well, it's just you."
Before it was changed, Hua Yue must have been so annoyed that she wanted to bite him, but now, she felt so happy that she wanted to cry. She pulled his cuff and almost kowtowed to him: "Thank you, son."
Li Jingyun glanced lazily: "Okay, you have to be obedient and obedient."
Huayue nodded like pecking at rice: "Listen!"
After pecking, he glanced at him hesitantly: "If the son really accepts the slaves, will he keep the slaves comprehensive?"
He hummed, his chopsticks twirled between his fingers, he slammed a piece of meat and handed it to her lips, looking down with his eyes, his eyes were bottomless: "If you can't protect even a maid, the master will be in vain. Come down to Huangquan with you as soon as possible."
A big stone fell to the ground with a thud, Hua Yue subconsciously opened her mouth to bite the meat, and asked inarticulately, "When will this concubine ceremony be done?"
"It won't be too late to go back to Jinghua." Li Jingyun took another piece of meat and shook it by her lips, "Don't worry."
Eyes widened, the man in front of him was suddenly anxious: "No, I'll just find something to do here, it's not a big gift to take a concubine."
While she opened her mouth, he sent the meat in again, watched her chew with satisfaction, and said, "There is nothing here, it's too hasty."
"Don't be in a hurry, isn't that the white deer that the master brought back to the slaves?" Hua Yue swallowed the meat in her mouth, "I can make a gift with that."
As he said that, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, he pulled up and walked out.
This seemed to be the first time she took the initiative to pull his hand like this. Li Jingyun walked with her in small steps, and when he lowered his head, he could see her fingertips overlapping his own.
Yin Huayueren looked cold and ruthless, but this finger was unbelievably soft, entangling him continuously, for fear that he would retreat.
The corners of his lips were tense for a long time, and finally he couldn't help but raise them high.
The disobedient Wangfu finally fell into the pit, and obediently buried himself in the soil.
As a master, he is very happy.
The white deer that was locked in the backyard was eating grass. Suddenly, two people came in front of him. The man in white and black pulled the man in blue and black to stand over and muttered something. The man in blue and black looked at it with disgust. It glanced at it, and bowed its head to it perfunctorily along with Oubaibai.
"Licheng." Oubaibai cheered.
Blue and black shook his head: "This deer is also rare in color, and the meat is not delicious, so why worship it."
White Deer: ?
Reaching out to add a handful of fodder to the trough, Hua Yue said, "The simpler the better, it's not suitable for anyone to come here, so it just happened to be a coincidence."
He snorted softly from the tip of his nose, played with her fingers, and glanced at her bun: "Since the ceremony is completed, then you should change your clothes."
Thinking about it, she nodded: "But the slave did not bring other clothes and jewelry."
"This is easy to handle." He turned around, hooked her hand to guide her, "Follow me."
Three minutes later, the sun was a little dazzling, Shen Zhiluo sat by the window, stretched out his hand and tugged at the front of his clothes.
He changed out of the star robe that was pierced through, and was now wearing the blue crane gown that Miss Su sewed by herself.
Su Miao looked at him with her chin on the side, and did not move for half an hour.
Shen Zhiluo was a little helpless: "You have nothing else to do?"
"Well." Su Miao nodded and said with a smile, "Cousin said, let me watch you."
A trace of anger flashed across his brows, and Shen Zhiluo turned his face away: "The third son is really amazing."
"My cousin is naturally amazing, and the whole Jinghua will not praise him." Su Miao folded her hands and said in admiration. She turned her head and looked at him with admiration, "But he is not as powerful as you, you know everything."
Taking a deep breath, Shen Zhiluo said in a deep voice, "Miss said so, and I just happened to give a piece of advice. Miss and I have no relationship with you, and there is no Hongluan involved. Forcing them together will only hurt Miss."
After Su Miao heard this, the smile on her face did not fade at all: "Will I die because of this?"
"Won't."
"That's good." She stroked her palms and arched her brows. "When I return to Jinghua, I will send someone to your house to hire you."
"..." Two blue veins popped out of the forehead, and Shen Zhiluo's tone was colder, "Miss Su, let's not say whether this can be done or not, even if it does, it will be hired by the young lady."
Su Miao raised her eyebrows, her fox eyes narrowed, and said softly, "Ah", "Is that so? I thought it was someone who was willing to marry someone who was willing to marry someone who was unwilling to marry, so you would take me short and eat me. If you are soft-mouthed, you will not regret your marriage."
What did this say? Shen Zhiluo felt a headache, so the general's house could teach such a young lady and put it in another house, and she would have been charged with debauchery and dragged to Shenhu.
He wanted to get angry, but thinking about the things in Li Jingyun's hand, he swallowed the fire abruptly.
"Miss." A maid ran in from the door and said happily, "The third son just went to your room and took your new clothes and jewelry."
When Su Miao heard this, her face turned black, she turned around when she patted the table: "What kind of happy event is this!"
There was a bang on the table, and the teacup above it trembled.
Shen Zhiluo's eyes twitched again.
The little maid seemed to be very familiar with this situation, and she didn't panic at all, she stepped forward and smiled: "If the third son took it himself, the servant would definitely stop him, but he took it for a girl, and I will keep it for you. got this."
Looking at her suspiciously, Su Miao took the note and looked at it.
"Brother Foolish took a concubine today, but he didn't make any decorations, so I borrowed you a little emergency. When I return it to Jinghua, I will give it twice as much."
Looking at the last four words with satisfaction, Su Miao nodded: "He is sensible."
The note was rubbed and stuffed back into the maid's hand. She turned around and was about to continue looking at Shen Zhiluo when she suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Wait!" After grabbing the maid back, Su Miao reopened the note and stared at the first line of words.
"Concubine?!"
The last word was pulled too high, and the sound was broken. Shen Zhiluo covered his ears because of the noise, and raised his eyes for unknown reasons.
Dressed in a carmine red dress, with a head full of treasure hairpins and gold combs, Huayue was a little lost when she suddenly saw herself in the bronze mirror.
Li Jingyun sat in front of her, looked left and right, and nodded reluctantly: "It's okay."
Looking around nervously, Huayue asked, "Why are you here?"
The good main house did not wait, Li Jingyun dragged her to find a vacant room in the palace, and ordered the servants not to inform others. It was too late now, and he had no intention of going back.
"Take a quiet picture." Li Jingyun yawned and said with half-closed eyes, "My Lord advises you to take a good night's sleep and don't ask anything, or you won't be able to hold the scene tomorrow."
The moon was hanging high outside the window, and it was time to go to bed. Huayue nodded clearly, and then asked suspiciously, "There is only one bed in this room, where will the slaves sleep?"
Li Jingyun choked, rolled her eyes at her angrily, pinched her chin and gave her a mouth shape: "Learn from my father: concubine body."
The face in front of her suddenly enlarged, her breathing was close at hand, Hua Yue's pupils shrank, and she stumbled to learn: "Concubine...concubine body."
"That's what the side room calls itself." He nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "Do you know where to sleep in the side room?"
Hua Yue was stunned, and her face turned a little red: "Don't you mean to look good?"
"As a concubine, it will be placed on the bed of the master, where else do you want to put it?" He glanced at her, his expression suddenly solemn, "Could it be that you didn't think about it at all, saying you want to be a concubine was just an impulse ?"
"I……"
"Yin Zhangshi is not such an impulsive person. Maybe there is another secret?" He touched his chin and thought, "Don't you want to use the Lord to help you block something..."
"No." Denied quickly, Hua Yue turned her head and went to spread the quilt, "It's because the concubine is stupid, the son, please."
Li Jingyun got up and said very graciously: "When you are alive, don't always embarrass yourself, and don't do things you don't want to, so as not to be seen by others and say that you are taking things by force."
She was so frustrated that she didn't dare to show it on her face, she could only laugh at the corners of her lips: "How could it be, my concubine is very willing."
Li Jingyun lay down on the inside of the bed with satisfaction.
Hua Yue glanced at the night sky outside, her eyes were long and sad, then she closed the flower window with a snap, packed herself, and climbed into bed.
The bed in this room was quite wide, and she was close to the edge of the bed and could be a foot away from him.
The lights went out, and it was dark in front of me. I could only vaguely see the bed tent above my head. Hua Yue grabbed the edge of the bed and didn't move.
