The sun is rising and the sky is full of red clouds. It is a good weather at first sight.
Mrs. Wen, who had just got off the carriage, shuddered inexplicably, thinking in her heart that the weather was so cold, even though it was warm. Today must be to win money, and then go to a restaurant to eat roasted mutton, so it is not in vain for her to think about it for two days and get up so early.
Thinking of this, my heart was extremely hot, and I walked a few steps into the princess mansion.
When Ye Ping was hugging the quilt and making love to Duke Zhou, she was suddenly awakened by Sanxi. Sanxi is well aware of her master's temper and hobbies, if it's not something important, she probably won't disturb her master's freedom of sleeping until she wakes up. After all, the county king doesn't care about the master's sleeping late every day, so how could they be servants to spoil the master's interest.
Sanxi looked at the defenseless master in a daze, no matter how unkempt she was, she was still shockingly beautiful. Inside the loose placket, there are endless beautiful scenery. Like the snow in early winter, it is so white that people love it. But I don't know who is rude, trampled on the holiness of Baixue, and stained it with a purple color.
Ye Ping was not surprised by her stupidity, let alone others. Even if I look in the mirror sometimes, I will be blinded by the beauty in the mirror.
Glancing at the hourglass, it was just about midnight.
The old lady got up early enough.
Hearing from Sanxi that Mrs. Wen had already arrived in Xueyuan, Ye Ping thought to herself that the old lady still had some taboos about Wen Yu, her grandson, and would not come to this yard easily, otherwise she would not be able to hide the matter of sleeping late.
After tidying up, I went to the Snow Park.
The snow park was very quiet, and the servants dared not show their atmosphere. Mrs. Wen was sitting gracefully, pointing Wen Ruqin around.
When Wen Ruqin saw Ye Ping, it was like seeing a savior.
Ye Ping gave her a comforting look, and said with a smile, "Grandmother, you are here. The daughter-in-law and Xueniang waited for you all day yesterday, and they sent someone to the Duke's mansion to ask you about it because they were afraid that you couldn't take it anymore. , I realized that you had fun by yourself, and you did not forget your aunt and sister Ruyu. The grandson said that it is a great blessing to be your daughter-in-law and granddaughter. It is a blessing to have an elder like you who thinks about the younger generation in everything. The blessings of the younger generation's cultivation in several lifetimes."
Originally, Mrs. Wen waited for half an hour, full of displeasure. After being flattered by Ye Ping, she immediately stood there again, even if there was any resentment, she couldn't express it.
This Mrs. Ye can still speak.
The grandparents and grandchildren used the morning food and immediately started to organize.
Mrs. Wen was in high spirits, not to mention how caring she was.
Ye Ping's water drainage skills are as good as ever, she didn't realize it at all. For a while, I was annoyed for playing the wrong card, and for a while, I was happy for winning silver.
In the end she won thirty taels of silver, all lost by Wen Ruqin, and Ye Ping neither lost nor won.
Everyone is happy.
She handed over the money to the little mama, thinking that she must win Ye's money next time. When the few of them left the mansion together, she was blushing and walked with wind.
Ye Ping secretly laughed, but was infected by her happiness.
It is true that she is greedy for roasted mutton, but what really makes her happy is being able to eat in a restaurant. Counting it, she hasn't been to a restaurant for many years, it seems that the last time she ate in a restaurant was more than ten years ago.
Of course, the rich and powerful family of the Duke's Mansion is not short of money. But she is old, and she claims to be putting on airs, so she will not go out to eat alone for no reason.
Today, she brought her granddaughter-in-law and granddaughter with her, and she had another reason, so she was naturally justified.
The three of them rode the carriage together, and Ye Ping joked with each other from time to time along the way, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.
After arriving at the restaurant, I still asked for the private room on the second floor.
When climbing up the stairs, Ye Ping and Wen Ruqin supported her from left to right. She felt very useful, and her expression became more and more relaxed. After entering the private room, he couldn't wait to stand by the window, staring at the magpie lake in a trance.
The lake is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. The weeping willows by the lake are like weaving green fog, and the boats in the lake are leisurely, which makes people feel comfortable and indescribably happy.
"Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law looks like this, you and Xueniang are very similar, especially the eyes. Xueniang is so beautiful, so it turns out that she followed her grandmother."
As long as she is not blind, she will not deny Wen Ruqin's beauty.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wen actually looked seriously into Wen Ruqin's eyes. Not to mention, this second granddaughter looks like her biological mother and aunt in every way, except for her eyes, which are the most brilliant.
Ye Ping looked at her words and saw that her expression was coloring, and immediately said: "Grandmother must have been very beautiful when she was young. When she married grandfather, I don't know how many sons and daughters of aristocratic families felt sad."
"You skinny monkey, you actually arranged for your grandmother." Mrs. Wen faked anger, and there seemed to be nostalgia in her eyes. She was naturally a beauty when she was young, and the old man blushed when he saw her for the first time.
Speaking of it, she and the old Duke are also considered a harmonious husband and wife. Although there is an aunt and concubine's room, it was only accepted after she gave birth to two sons. What's more, her two sons are separated by nine years. During those nine years, their love was so incomparable that anyone who saw them would envy them.
She knew the pain of having a concubine's room, so she never interfered with her son's and daughter-in-law's affairs. There are several elders like her in Hejing.
Ye Ping pulled Wen Ruqin to stand beside her, and looked around, "My daughter-in-law is telling the truth. Look at our Xueniang, she looks good and has a good temperament. This is all thanks to her grandmother. Xueniang was taught so well by you." , I don’t know how many people praised grandma openly and secretly, and the granddaughter-in-law used to hear it a lot.”
"real?"
"The granddaughter-in-law can still lie to my grandmother. The better our Xueniang marries in the future, the more she can prove that her grandmother taught well. Xueniang not only looks like a grandmother, but also has a pure temperament like a grandmother. According to the granddaughter-in-law, a girl raised by her grandmother Even if you marry a son of a noble family, you are not a high-ranking man."
Wen Ruqin lowered her head, her eyes were sore.
The second sister-in-law really took great pains for her.
Mrs. Wen was coaxed by Ye Ping, and Wen Ruqin's eyes softened a little. She has only two granddaughters in total, no matter how concubine they are born.
She didn't like her second granddaughter not because she was bad, but because of Aunt Qing. A slave girl, pestering her son relentlessly, caused the well-behaved son of the Duke's Mansion to refuse to marry a wife, and just wanted to live with a girl. Even because of that girl, he even opposed her, a mother.
Thinking of those old events, her face darkened.
"Fifth Young Master Xie doesn't even like it, who knows what she's looking for?"
When Wen Ruqin heard this, her face turned pale.
Ye Ping frowned, "I can't blame Xueniang for this matter, as far as my daughter-in-law knows, it's the county king's intention."
Did it mean Brother Yu?
In an instant, Mrs. Wen thought very far. She hasn't cared much about court affairs in recent years, but that doesn't mean she's an ignorant old lady.
Since Brother Yu disagreed, it must be really inappropriate to marry the Xie family.
"Forget it, Brother Yu will be in charge of her marriage in the future, so I can't control it."
These words are quite angry, the second grandson refuted her face last time, and she still has not let go of that tone.
Ye Ping couldn't figure out the old lady's temper, she was silly and innocent, but stubborn and vengeful. Once something is identified, it is extremely difficult to be easily changed.
"The king of the county is filial. She is afraid that her grandmother will be tired, and she is reluctant to let her worry about it. Otherwise, a big man like him would not take such a thing."
Mrs. Wen snorted softly, her face softened a little.
At this time, the mutton was served, along with six side dishes.
The beautiful scenery and food are the most intoxicating.
Ye Ping served him well, and the roasted mutton was very tender.
Mrs. Wen ate very happily, her brows and eyes gradually relaxed.
After dinner, the three of them went downstairs.
Shen Ling and a few friends happened to be about to go upstairs, and the two of them ran into each other.
The Duke's Mansion and the Marquis of Xuanping's Mansion travel a lot on weekdays, and the two families are married again, so Mrs. Wen has long regarded Shen Ling as her grandson-in-law.
She had a loving face, and the more she looked at this young man, the more satisfied she became.
Back then, her Rong'er had extraordinary talents, outstanding appearance, and was known as the first son of Yongchang City. After that, no one could match him for many years, and there was no other prince in the capital who could compare with him until Shen Shizi grew up. Two generations of the first sons of the capital, one is the son of the Wen family and the other is the son-in-law of the Wen family. It is not only a good talk, but also very face-to-face.
It's just that the eldest daughter-in-law has long since let go, so why hasn't the Shen family come to propose marriage for so long?
Shen Ling saluted and avoided with his friends.
Wen Ruqin secretly looked at him, her heart was sweet and astringent.
He was also peeking at Wen Ruqin with indescribable joy. I haven't seen her for a while, but sister Xueniang seems to have grown taller and looks much brighter.
Seeing this, Ye Ping felt sorry for her.
The beginning of a sweet article is not necessarily sweet.
It is true that lovers eventually become family members, but the hardships and twists in it are really hard to describe in words. With Mrs. Shen's obstruction and Wen Ruyu's frame, it can be said that there are many difficulties.
When the heroine in the book got married, it was two years later.
I don't know if it's the same in this life?
"Princess Princess, stay here." Shen Ling suddenly said.
Old Mrs. Wen frowned into Sichuan characters, and gave Ye Ping a displeased look.
At this time, Shen Ling said again: "I borrowed a book from the king of the county last time, because there are several difficult points in the book, which have not been solved. I heard that the princess of the county has unique insights, so I took the liberty to ask. Can you explain to me?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wen frowned. While disapproving, an imperceptible pride arose. The Wen family's daughter-in-law, even if she is not from a high family background, still has her own merits.
Ye Ping's heart moved, "I don't dare to explain the confusion, but I can pass the message on my behalf."
"Thank you Princess Princess."
Shen Ling saluted, and said: "There is a cloud in the book, there is a river in the south, and the people are destitute, and mourning is everywhere. But if we build dikes and dams, the water will be cut off and the river will be cut off, and the downstream fields will have no water to irrigate, and the harvest will not be guaranteed. Just like the ancients said It is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety, if you insist on having both, what should you do?"
This question was not about repairing dikes to prevent floods, it was clearly about him and Wen Ruqin.
Ye Ping thought for a while and answered him. "Water conservancy matters, I don't dare to speak nonsense. But I also know that one ignorant blocking is not a panacea. The combination of blocking and thinning is the best strategy. In my opinion, loyalty and filial piety are not in conflict. They are not born of opposites. Why can't they be both? "
"Can you have both?"
"It's not easy to do, but it's not impossible."
"The princess of the county is really talented and educated."
The few people traveling with Shen Ling are all sons of the aristocratic families in Beijing, and they have heard of Ye Ping for a long time. Just now when Shen Ling was not ashamed to ask, some of them faintly looked down. However, after listening to Ye Ping's words, they suppressed all their thoughts one by one.
The princess of the county really has some insight to make a big fuss in Yuqing Academy.
Mrs. Wen considered herself noble, even though she had looked down on Ye Ping in various ways before, after hearing what Ye Ping said, she unconsciously looked at her grandson-in-law twice more.
This Ye family has some merits.
Wen Ruqin looked at Ye Ping gratefully, she was not stupid, she couldn't understand what Shen Shizi was asking. Naturally, she also knew that the second sister-in-law had always been on her side.
It's not easy to do, but it's not impossible.
There was mist in her eyes, and she felt that even if she didn't have a good marriage, she would have no regrets in this life if she could be accompanied by her second sister-in-law.
Shen Ling avoided people and took a deep look at her.
The princess of the county is right. Loyalty and filial piety are not opposites. Why can't they have both?
…
Outside the restaurant, people come and go.
Ye Ping pointed at the row of pavilions, and said with great pride: "Grandmother, from today on, whoever wins will treat guests. Our goal is to eat all the restaurants in the whole capital!"
Mrs. Wen was taken aback for a moment, but she was also excited.
Due to their status, no lady would dare to say such words. If it was changed to before, she would definitely be reprimanded. But listening to it now, I feel inexplicably happy.
"Then you will have to spend money, I will not let you next time."
Ye Ping patted her heart, pretending to be afraid.
Mrs. Wen was amused by her, and after laughing twice, she realized that she had lost her composure, so she restrained herself quickly. During this slack and relaxation, there is a change in my own mentality.
The three walked ahead, followed by the carriage. No one mentioned the matter of going back, they all chose to ignore it, and walked along the road to watch.
Mrs. Wen probably didn't go out for a lot of shopping, and everything she saw was novel.
Seeing her staring at the candied haws seller several times, Ye Ping immediately understood. Knowing that the old lady wanted to eat, she was too embarrassed to open her mouth.
Old people are like children, they need to be coaxed.
Candied haws came in a bunch of three pennies, and Ye Ping asked for three.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a man. It was a man in his late thirties. He was neither ugly nor handsome, and he didn't stand out in the crowd. The reason why she noticed this person was because of the huge mole at the end of his eyebrows, which was extremely eye-catching.
Pedestrians are like weaving, there are people from the capital and merchants from other places. The continuous carriages passed by, and no one would notice what was hidden in the man's bulging arms.
Ye Ping saw it, it was a white mass, like a cat and a rabbit.
The man seemed to be being squeezed left and right by pedestrians, and he approached this way unknowingly. While Ye Ping was paying, the man rushed over quickly and threw the things in his arms at the same time.
It was too late and then it was too late, Ye Ping turned around and was already behind the candied haws seller.
The white cat flew past Ye Ping, just as a carriage stopped by the side of the road. A girl in Chinese clothes got off the carriage and stepped on the white cat that had just landed.
"ah!"
"That's a white cat!"
"She trampled a white cat to death!"
When everyone exclaimed, Ye Ping had already arrived at Mrs. Wen's side.
Mrs. Wen was blocked by pedestrians, looked around and asked, "Who trampled the white cat to death? It's bad luck."
"I don't know, maybe it was unintentional." Ye Ping handed her the candied haws.
She took the candied haws, full of joy.
Haven't tasted this flavor for many years.
This is what the granddaughter-in-law honored her, not what she wanted. To say that this Mrs. Ye not only has merit, but also has a bit of wink, it is not so annoying.
Since the old Duke passed away, she seemed not so happy. At this moment, she seems to have returned to her youth in a trance. If it wasn't for that someone trampled the cat to death, she would like to go shopping more.
"Grandma, there are many people here, let's get in the car." Ye Ping said.
There are indeed more and more people, and they all gather there.
Mrs. Wen frowned, and said bad luck again.
There were more and more people onlookers over there, and it was already full of people's voices after a while, and one after another, they could still hear the discussions of the prince's mansion and the princess.
The carriage of the Duke's Mansion went away and was quickly submerged in the crowd.
Ye Ping and Wen Ruqin first sent Mrs. Wen back to the Duke's residence, and then the aunt and sister-in-law returned home. Wen Ruqin held back all the way, and couldn't help it after entering the princess mansion, hugging Ye Ping and not letting go.
"Second sister-in-law, you are so kind to me..."
"Fool, I'm not good to you, but to whom." Ye Ping thought, how could this silly girl know the good deeds she had done. Everything has a cause and effect, there is no love and hate for no reason in this world. "If you are good, I will be good. If you are not good, then I will not be good. You may not know how important you are to me. I live for you, and I can die for you."
Wen Ruqin was greatly shocked, it turned out that she was so important to the second sister-in-law.
"Second sister-in-law, you...why are you so nice to me?"
"Because I'm here for you all my life."
Suddenly, there seemed to be a cold air, and Ye Ping's back felt cold, as if a bone-piercing knife was pressing against her back. Without looking back, she knew where this feeling came from.
Wen Ruqin also saw the person standing not far away, her whole body stiffened instantly, and she took several steps back.
It's the second brother!
The second brother's eyes are so terrifying, like a murderous knife.
Ye Ping swallowed hard, and made a mouth shape to Wen Ruqin.
"Let's go."
Wen Ruqin shook her head.
She's gone, what about the second sister-in-law?
Ye Ping said in a low voice: "Your second brother and I are husband and wife, are you still afraid that he will beat me?"
Wen Ruqin didn't move, this... this might be.
"I have something to say to your second brother, it's not convenient for you." Ye Ping said again.
"Then...then I'll go."
Ye Ping nodded with a smile, but her calves were shaking.
After Wen Ruqin left, she slowly turned around.
"Your Majesty, you are back!"
Wen Yu stood under the tree, as cold as ice.
He was dressed in a dark purple official uniform, and his temperament became more and more cold. There seemed to be thousands of piles of snow accumulated between the indifferent eyebrows and eyes, sealed up and indifferent. The pitch-black pupils are like a boundless abyss, surging with a vortex that devours everything.
With such an expression, he looked like a wife who had caught Hong Xing out of bed.
Ye Ping hugged him regardless, Sanxi and the others bowed their heads in embarrassment.
The princess of the county is too bold, she dared to do this while she was still outside.
"Why did you come back so early today? If I had known this, I should have come back earlier." Ye Ping looked up at her unparalleled little face, her eyes sparkling with mist.
so cold.
Even with such a hug, there is still no trace of warmth. This person is clearly like a raging fire between the beds, why is it cold like a dead person at this time.
Wen Yu's thin lips were slightly pursed, lonely and cold as ice. The small face in front of him is clearly reflected in the dark jade-like pupils, and the lips are parted and closed, speaking sweet words that make people sink.
Knowing it was false, he deceived himself and others.
I don't know where the deep love came from. Looking back, I am already a prisoner. Who painted the ground as a prison, and who became the prisoner?
Ah.
