Wanyue was taken aback and stood aside in astonishment. She secretly thought in her heart: Are you planning to 'kill the chicken to show the monkey'?
The maid who was hit was crying. No matter how she looked at it, Wanyue felt that Guar Jia Yinan had no good intentions. Wanyue glanced at Guar Jia Yinan with an expression on her face, she felt slightly blessed and asked: "Concubine
I’m here to pay my respects to my sister. What’s the matter with my sister coming to me?”
Guar Jia Yinan then turned his head and spoke to Wanyue: "Sister, please get up. I'm here to find you today. Firstly, I found out the culprit who destroyed the Yunjin brocade on my sister's birthday. Secondly, I have been busy these days and haven't made up for it.
I gave the gift to my sister. In addition, the Yun brocade is no longer in stock in Beijing, so I specially changed it to Shu brocade. I hope my sister will accept it with joy."
Wanyue pretended not to hear the meaning of her words, her eyebrows turned gentle, and she replied with a smile on her lips: "Thank you very much, sister. I didn't expect that my sister would be so interested in the gift to my sister. I will treasure it well."
After saying that, Aunt Gui walked over with a smile and put the prepared Sichuan brocade silk and satin in Wanyue's hand. Wanyue raised her head and glanced at Guar Jiayinan's face, and took it with a smile.
The sobbing in the room did not stop due to the conversation between the two masters. The maid was immersed in grief and couldn't help herself.
After a long while, Guar Jiayinan spoke softly, opening and closing her lips, looking at the maid with some displeasure.
"What are you doing pretending to cry? Don't dirty my and Xi Fujin's ears. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Don't think anyone can spare you."
"My slave is innocent. Someone must have deliberately framed me. The brocade was clearly given to me by Aunt Gui, but I did nothing. But in the end, I was asked to take the blame. It must have been Aunt Gui who did it." The maid said.
Struggling, as if completely giving up.
Gual Jiayinan panicked for a moment, then calmed down, gritted his teeth with his small mouth, and said in a sharp voice like a sharp blade, "You damn girl, you still dare to speak harshly. The evidence is right in front of you, and you still want to deny it."
Wanyue lowered her eyes, covering up the coldness in her eyes, and said quietly: "Sister, I think there is something hidden in this matter. That maid is so sure, it doesn't seem like she is lying."
Aunt Gui's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the side of Fu Jinta Tara who looked normal, and tried to calm herself down.
"What are you talking about, Xi Fujin? Why did I, an old woman, deliberately destroy the Yun brocade satin? Besides, I specially selected the Yun brocade from the silk and satin shop in Beijing with a lot of money."
As soon as these words came out, Guar Jiayinan was shocked and warned: "Mommy, don't talk nonsense. Go and teach that ignorant maid a lesson quickly, lest she disturb the peace with her talkative words."
Wanyue raised her eyebrows and glanced at her calmly. The fox finally showed its tail.
Before Grandma Gui could step out of the room, a voice sounded from behind: "Who is my descendant Fujin going to teach you a lesson?"
The voice was so familiar that Wanyue didn't think much and immediately said loudly: "I have met Lord Beile."
Guar Jiayinan and a group of other people were frightened by her actions. They didn't react until they saw her speak, and they all leaned down to salute.
Yinqi's voice was calm, but the situation in the room shocked him. The crying maid's face was red, as if she had been slapped countless times.
Yinqi's face looked a little ugly for a moment, Guar Jiayinan looked a little trembling from the side, and Grandma Gui, who was standing next to her and bent over, was a little swaying.
"Is this how your direct descendant Fujin controls his servants?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the room fell silent.
Guar Jiayinan maintained the awkward smile on his face and slowly opened his mouth, "I...do this..."
"Even the imperial palace is not allowed to deal with the palace residents at will, let alone the servants in the palace. You are the direct descendant of Fujin. Don't you understand these rules?" There was an inexplicable look in Yiqi's black and white eyes.
.
Guarjia was the direct descendant pointed out to him by the emperor. Because his family background was higher than that of Wanyue, he took the position of the direct descendant. He did not expect to treat the servants who made mistakes so viciously.
Guar Jiayinan gritted his teeth and knelt down, "I know my fault and will never treat my servants like this again."
"These days, you can stay in the house and think about your past behind closed doors! These days, the affairs of the house will be handed over to Xiang Fujin. You can take charge of the house after you resume your confinement."
Yinqi is always so kind-hearted. In his previous life, Wanyue found evidence that Guar Jiayinan had framed her, but for the sake of the peace of the family, he finally chose to deal with it coldly.
Wanyue took two steps forward, her eyes as black as paint, "Actually, this is nothing, it's just a gift. If it breaks, it's broken. It doesn't matter. I don't think I need to keep that maid here."
If she is already in the mansion, Master Beile will send her back to her place of origin."
The farce in Dongnuang Pavilion ended with the maid who made the mistake being sent back to her place of origin.
On the way back to Xinuang Pavilion, Wanyue looked gloomy all the way, and Grandma Wang reminded her in a low voice: "Miss, I'm so talkative, why do you have to go against your direct descendant Fujin?"
"Mommy, you will know the smell of that Sichuan brocade."
"How could this happen?" Grandma Wang picked up the Sichuan brocade in her hand, brought it close to her nose and smelled it, "It smelled slightly like an animal at first, but when you taste it carefully, it has a rich floral, milky, and spicy taste."
"If I'm not wrong, this Shu brocade must have been soaked in musk. Musk has the effect of relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation, dispersing blood stasis and scattered spots, and can also relieve angina pectoris. But for women, musk must not be exposed to it for a long time.
Exposure to musk can cause endocrine disorders and even infertility."
Wanyue was immersed in her thoughts. There was really no change in Guar Jia Yinan's methods. Wanyue's second miscarriage in her previous life was caused by this musk.
Since she has such good intentions, how can she live up to it? When she gets pregnant in the future, Wanyue will return all the musk to her.
The situation in the house changed after only one day. The accountant and housekeeper delivered a box of account books early the next morning, including the farm property outside Baylor House, shop, bank account, etc.
The month that Wanyue managed the backyard of Baylor Mansion was generally leisurely. After all, she had managed the palace for more than thirty years in her previous life, and was very familiar with the operation of the palace, and the servants' attitude towards her was also very kind.
In a blink of an eye, it was May, and news had already spread in the palace that the emperor was going to hold a "rice dumpling banquet" in the palace. Her side Fujin had no chance to enter the palace. Only then did she realize the consequences of being the direct descendant Fujin.
benefit.
The mansion has been preparing since the first day of the fifth lunar month, including rice dumplings made of four-packs of glutinous rice, salted duck eggs, and white eggs. This lasted for five days, reaching its climax on the fifth day of the lunar month. On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar month, the mansion’s rice dumplings were made.
The servants put the calamus and mugwort leaves prepared in front of the door, lit incense and candles, worshiped ancestors in the morning, and paid New Year greetings to each other.
Guar Jia Yinan was finally released from confinement. Yinqi led her and her concubines to sit on the table. Everyone ate rice dumplings and eggs, and each drank a cup of realgar shochu. The maids and boys dipped the realgar into wine for everyone.
The young master painted a king character on his forehead to ward off disasters and evil spirits. In the afternoon, Guar Jiayinan followed Lord Belle into the palace to participate in the rice dumpling feast.
Wanyue returned to her room and continued to taste rice dumplings. Yuzhi saw that she seemed not very interested, thinking of the Dragon Boat Festival in her hometown, so she started chatting.
Yuzhi said that the Dragon Boat Festival in the south of the Yangtze River is the most beautiful. Every Dragon Boat Festival, in order to enjoy the Dragon Boat Festival with the people, local officials will hold dragon boat racing activities. Everyone must eat big fish and meat on the Dragon Boat Festival. After eating the meal, everyone
Then I went out of the city to the river to watch rowing boats. The shape of the boats was different from ordinary wooden boats. The two ends of the boats for dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival were raised high. The boats looked long and narrow, and the hulls were painted in various colors.
, each boat can hold about a dozen people. Each participant holds a short oar and rows the boat forward in time with the sound of drums. Those who go ahead when the drums end must be rewarded, and others will be tied.
The duck with the red belt is put into the water. Whoever catches the duck with the red belt becomes hers.
Wanyue found it really interesting. She had heard that the Dragon Boat Festival in the south of the Yangtze River was more lively than in the capital. On the Dragon Boat Festival in the south of the Yangtze River, there has always been a tradition of dragon boat racing on the lake. However, she had never seen it. In her previous life, she followed Lord Beile and traveled the farthest distance.
The place is Jehol Palace.
Wanyue was eating rice dumplings in her mouth, but she sighed a little in her heart. She must go to Jiangnan in this life.
