Chapter 479 Doubt (1)
In the evening, under the gray sky, heavy snow was falling down one after another with the howling north wind. Turn the whole yard into a silver-white world carved with powder and jade.
Yan Wushuang looked at the dishes on the table, looked at Yuchen and asked with a smile: "You really have a heart." Most of the table were special dishes from the Northeast. .
Yuchen smiled and said: "I hope the prince will like it." Being caught by Yan Wushuang and taken to the palace, she lived like a walking dead. But since Zhou Yan returned to the capital, Yuchen made up his mind to change himself. She wants Yan Wushuang to like her. Only if Yan Wushuang likes her can she not only see her son, but also protect him.
Madam Han originally wanted to marry Yuchen into the royal family to seek benefits for the family when she cultivated Yuchen. So Yuchen has also learned these methods of fighting for favor, and he has learned them well. It's just that King Jing liked her very much before, and after marrying King Jing, she gave birth to twins, her status is very solid, and she doesn't need to fight for favor at all. But now for the sake of his son, Yuchen has to let go of his figure and try his best to please Yan Wushuang.
Yan Wushuang pointed to the plate of Northeast Beef Stew, and said with a smile: "This dish is my favorite, do you know why?" Northeast Beef Stew is actually a dish that ordinary people like to eat. If a rich family eats such a dish, they will feel inferior.
Yuchen took the silver chopsticks, put a piece of pork belly in the sweet white porcelain bowl in front of Yan Wushuang, and said with a smile: "Oh, so the prince likes Northeast stew and there are stories in it!" gentle.
Yan Wushuang took a bite and said with a smile: "It's not really a story, it's just that when I was running for my life, I was so hungry that I was rescued by a man, and when I followed him home, his family happened to make this stew. That day, I ate three big bowls of rice." Yan Wushuang was rescued by Tang Bo with his bodyguards, but he was chased and killed during his escape. Tang Bo led the pursuers away, and he hid. After hiding for three days and three nights, I was so hungry that I could only go out to find something to eat. Not long after, I ran into a man who took him home.
Seeing that Yan Wushuang seemed to be in a good mood, Yuchen said with a smile, "My lord is lucky, there are always noble people to help." If it wasn't for someone who would rather die to protect him, Yan Wushuang would have died long ago.
Yan Wushuang smiled cheerfully, and said: "At that time, I also felt that I was lucky and met a good person. So after eating and drinking enough, I went to sleep with peace of mind. When I woke up, I was already in the flower building. "Nage who brought Yan Wushuang home didn't know his identity. It was not out of kindness to take him home, but because Yan Wushuang was good-looking, and he could make a fortune selling it in Hualou.
Yuchen was holding a piece of eggplant, and when he heard this, he shook his hand and the eggplant fell on the table. Yuchen didn't seem to realize that he was losing his composure, so he took the meat from the fish's belly and put it in Yan Wushuang's bowl: "My lord is a lucky man, and even when he encounters evil people, he can save the day." If she couldn't save the day, she wouldn't be here. Yan Wushuang served the dishes.
Yan Wushuang smiled and said: "You're right, in the end I saved my life." Coincidentally, the oiran in the flower building was the secret guard of his Yan family. It's a pity that after the oiran recognized Yan Wushuang, he not only failed to save him, but tortured him to vent his anger. During that time, Yan Wushuang was not only physically tortured by Shuanghai, but also mentally tortured. Fortunately, Tang Bo found him in time, otherwise it would be unknown whether Yan Wushuang existed in the world.
Without going into details about the process, Yan Wushuang looked at Yuchen with a smile on his face and asked, "Do you know what happened to that family?"
If there is a choice, Yuchen will definitely not answer. But there is no choice, Yuchen pretended to be calm and said: "The prince must have taken revenge."
Yan Wushuang took a piece of pot-packed meat by himself, and smiled after eating: "Yes, I have avenged myself. I cut off the man's flesh piece by piece, and the blood flowed like a stream. The man Kneel on the ground and beg for this, I will give him a happy..." Speaking of this,
Yan Wushuang chuckled: "Happy? It's not so cheap, I just want him to taste the extreme pain in this world." If that person handed him over to the Donghu people or the people of the court, he would not hate it so much. At most, he would kill the person who betrayed him after he escaped. But this person shouldn't have sold him into that kind of dirty place. As for the end of the oiran's hidden guard, it's no better than the one who sells other people's brothels. It was also at that time that he exposed his whereabouts. After feigning death and escaping, Yan Wushuang never had a peaceful night's sleep.
Yuchen's complexion was as white as a piece of paper.
Seeing this, Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "It's just killing someone, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Actually, you don't know that killing someone is a wonderful thing..."
Serving Yan Wushuang does not have a strong ability to bear, and he will collapse sooner or later. Listening to Yan Wushuang talking about how wonderful it is to kill someone, Yuchen couldn't help but vomit.
Not only did Yan Wushuang show no pity, but he shook his head regretfully and said, "What a coward." After speaking, he turned his head and began to eat.
Yuchen suppressed the discomfort, and after rinsing his mouth, he served Yan Wushuang some vegetables. Yan Wushuang waved his hand and said, "Sit down and eat together!"
After dinner, Yan Wushuang said to Yuchen, "Follow me for a walk in the garden!" When he was in a bad mood, Yan Wushuang liked to go around the garden twice.
Yuchen did not refuse, and accompanied Yan Wushuang to the garden.
When I walked out of the house, the wind blew on my face like a knife cut, it was painful. Yuchen hurriedly took out his hat to cover his face, and then wrapped his scarf around it, exposing only his eyes.
Yan Wushuang walked straight into the garden as if he hadn't noticed the wind and snow. At this time, the garden was completely white, and even the pine trees in the garden were covered with long ice.
Yuchen covered her face, put her hands in muffs, and wrapped her whole body like rice dumplings, but even so, she still felt very cold.
Yan Wushuang walked to the edge of the lake, looked at the frozen lake, and said that this topic has nothing to do with ice and lakes: "Yunqing and Han Yuxi's family of four only have three dishes and one soup for each meal. Can you believe this? ?" Yan Wushuang originally thought that Yunqing and Yuxi were playing a show for the whole Northwest people to watch. But the news that was finally inquired showed that this matter was true.
In fact, this rumor is a little watery, three dishes and one soup is good, but it is not a family of four, but only the weight of Yunqing and Yuxi. As for jujube, how much can a child eat. As for Liu'er, all she ate was extra food made by Grandma Quan.
Yuchen paused, since she asked Yan Wushuang if she liked Yuxi last time, Yan Wushuang rarely mentioned Yuxi in front of her: "There is nothing wrong with it, this should be true!"
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "How many dishes do you have per meal on weekdays?" In ordinary people's homes, there are a lot of three dishes and one soup for one meal. But for a person who occupies the northwest and has a prince, it is very shabby. Like his meal tonight, he also served eighteen dishes.
Yuchen paused for a moment, but her face was covered and she couldn't see her expression: "When I was at home, I had six dishes for each meal. When I married into the palace, I got twelve dishes, and after I entered the palace, I got eighteen dishes." In Yanwang Mansion, each meal changed back to six dishes.
The wind blows and whirrs loudly. The trees next to it were blowing to and fro, and Yuchen was shivering from the cold.
Yan Wushuang acted as if nothing happened, and said: "Yunqing and Han Yuxi are doing a good job, and it is common practice to be diligent and thrifty in the Northwest. But how harsh was Han Yuxi's treatment in the past? To make her plan so carefully?" As for Xiangguo For an aristocratic family like the Duke's, a girl's diligence and thrift is not a virtue, but a shame. It even shows that the family has fallen, and it is a broken household.
Yuchen said frankly: "Yuxi's biological mother once saved my second cousin's life, so my eldest aunt treats her very well. Although my grandmother and father don't like Yuxi, but the housekeeper is the eldest aunt. Yuxi has never been treated harshly in terms of food and clothing. When she was in the Han Mansion, Yuxi had four dishes and one soup for every meal." Yuxi's treatment was slightly worse than Yuchen's, but it was the same as Yujing and the others.
Yan Wushuang chuckled softly: "Not only in terms of food, Han Yuxi is also very economical in terms of expenses. I heard that the clothes Yunqing and Han Yuxi wore were all worn out, and they were reluctant to throw them away, so they continued to wear them after patching them." The reason for this It is rumored that when Yun Qing went to the stables of the racecourse, he specially wore old clothes, which happened to have two holes. However, it is undeniable that the husband and wife are really frugal, and they didn't want to damage the good clothes when they wore old clothes.
Yuchen shook his head, and said with certainty: "It's possible, Yuxi can't wear patched clothes." Yuxi is also a person who wants face, how could she go out to meet people wearing patched clothes.
Yan Wushuang also knew that there was water in it: "Yunqing and Han Yuxi only held a banquet when her youngest daughter was catching the Zhou ceremony, and never held a banquet after that. There is no singing chicken in the palace, no fat ring Yan thin beauties, even They didn’t even raise the embroidered lady. The annual expenditure of the Pingxi Palace is less than one-third of that of our Palace.” The biggest expenditure of the Yun Palace is actually the expenses of the guards and servants, and Yunqing’s family of four can’t spend much. And Yan Wang Mansion doesn't talk about other things, just including the expenses of the six beauties including Yuchen, it is not a small sum.
Yuchen didn't understand what Yan Wushuang meant by saying these words to her.
Yan Wushuang turned his head, looked at Yuchen and said, "The Yun family was not rich since childhood, and later went to the northwest. It is normal to be frugal. But Han Yuxi is a special case? It is said that it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, and from extravagant It is difficult to be frugal, but Han Yuxi did not respond to this sentence." For the frugal and simple life, Han Yuxi adapts well without even going too far. This made Yan Wushuang feel that it was very unreasonable.
Yuchen finally understood now that after all, Yan Wushuang still wanted to know more about Yuxi. Yuchen said: "Yuxi doesn't like beautiful clothes and jewelry, and she doesn't like to attend banquets. Apart from reading, she also likes embroidery." Yuchen thinks that Yuxi likes embroidery not only because of Yuxi's high embroidery level, but also because Because Yuxi spent more time on it.
Looking at Yan Wushuang's eyes like a deep well, Yuchen couldn't help but panic. Yan Wushuang told her so much today, it is impossible to just let her know that Yuxi is as simple as being diligent and thrifty. (to be continued)
