Chapter 31 Who doesn’t want fame?
I will ask your mistress of the Xiao family to respectfully invite me back!
Xiao Xian, who returned to Xiao Mansion's Linshui Pavilion, kept echoing these words in his mind, and his hand holding a piece of silk became tighter and tighter.
"Lang Jun, what do you mean by the last words that the little lady said?" Feng Dong couldn't help but asked the doubts in his heart, and then shook his head and said, "That little lady is really hard to see through!" Every word of her is really puzzling... However, she can not only cure the husband's illness, but also cook the dishes that the husband likes to eat, which is really rare in the world! "
After saying that, he seemed a little regretful, "Hey, why did I forget to ask her for a recipe, so that even in our house, I can ask the cook to cook it for my husband!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xian scolded him unhappily: "Feng Dong, other people's unique knowledge and skills are their wealth and cannot be taken without permission. Remember not to say such words again in the future!"
Feng Dong lowered his head shyly: "Yes, Langjun!"
Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of something strange in the silk in Xiao Xian's hand, and he was surprised and said: "Hey, Mr. Lang, look at this silk!"
Xiao Xian then let go of his hand and unfolded the silk in his hand. He saw that the originally clean silk with only one word embroidered on it slowly appeared line after line of beautiful handwriting.
Feng Dong couldn't help but look closer: "Lang Jun, there is a word! It was not there just now, how did this word appear?"
Xiao Xian couldn't help but his eyes narrowed, and he was shocked. He saw some beads of sweat already appeared in his hands. Could it be that the sweat beads made the writing on the silk appear?
Fengdong, who had followed Xiao Xian since he was a child, knew a few words, so he muttered in a low voice: "Salmon... put a flower knife on the mandarin fish, spread it evenly with flour, moisten... moisten the pan with hot oil, and then add it with Zanthoxylum bungeanum, wild ginseng... Lang Jun, this seems to be one recipe after another, could it be that the girl..."
Xiao Xian also seemed to suddenly realize it, and said to himself: "Steamed orchids are mixed with the delicacies, and pepper pulp is mixed with osmanthus wine. It turns out that the heat of the pepper is used to combat the cold and dampness... She has really good intentions. !”
"What's going on? What's the electricity? Lang Jun, what are you talking about?"
Feng Dong didn't understand Xiao Xian's emotion, so he heard him say, "This is not just a recipe, but a medicinal diet!"
It turned out that she seemed to have expected all this, and had written the medicinal diet on the silk early, and gave it to him with Ling Ye's hand. It seemed that since the first time he saw them, everything that happened after that had already happened. In her plan...
So what will be her next plan?
Xiao Xian couldn't help but fell into deep thought. At this time, he didn't know that the calm night was already filled with undercurrents.
…
"What did you say? Failed?" In Fengxiu Pavilion, Princess Yunyin heard that her servants were coming to hear about it. She couldn't help but raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "A little lady under fifteen years old, a little boy under ten years old, you tell me Did I say it failed?”
"Yes, princess, I just got the news!" Jiang Nu said in shock.
"How is it possible?" Princess Yunyin murmured, and suddenly knocked a white porcelain vessel on the table to the ground, "Where did the news come from? Where are the dead soldiers? Where are they now?"
Speaking of where the news came from, Jiang Nu's face turned pale. She mumbled for a long time before saying: "It came from the East Market, it's Mr. Eight Lang..."
"Mr. Eight Lang? Xiao Yun? What does it have to do with him?"
Jiang Nu then replied: "It's a coincidence that today at chen hour, the sky was just bright, Ba Langjun and the two gentlemen of the Wei and Zhu families had a drink all night, and they just came out of the Xinghua Yanyu Tower. A group of people swarmed up and threw countless fruits, vegetables and eggs at Mr. Balang.
Mr. Balang was naturally angry and was about to punish this group of unruly people. There were several people hanging on the big trees in front of the door. Those people were none other than the soldiers sent by the princess to hunt down the two young men. Moreover, each of the soldiers was wrapped in white silk. I’m still writing poems…”
Jiang Nu seemed to find it difficult to speak at this point and did not dare to say any more.
Princess Yunyin asked: "Poem? What poem did you write?"
Jiang Nu then replied tremblingly: "It says...Other people laugh at me because I am too stupid, but I laugh at others but I can't bear to laugh at them..."
"What do you mean?" Princess Yunyin didn't understand the meaning of the poem, and heard Jiang Nue continue tremblingly, "There is also... there is a horizontal comment, which says... it says that the mistress of the Xiao family is unkind and has abandoned the Xiao family's granddaughter for fifteen years. Now they are sending dead soldiers to kill them all!”
"What did you say?" Princess Yunyin's almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief. She was so angry that she shook her handkerchief and ran out. Jiang Nu followed behind and hurriedly tried to dissuade her, "Princess, don't be angry. If you go now, It means admitting that those dead soldiers were sent by the princess, which is even more detrimental to the princess’ reputation..."
"Reputation?" Princess Yunyin stopped suddenly, "How dare that bitch slander me like this? Do I not want fame, or does she not want fame?" Seeing that there seemed to be deep meaning in Princess Yunyin's eyes, Jiang Nu asked half-understanding: "Princess, what do you mean?"
Princess Yunyin calmed down for a moment, then she laughed sinisterly as if she thought of something: "She thinks that she can slander my reputation in this way, to highlight her pitiful appearance as an orphan, and her reputation of being kind and weak. It is really ridiculous. She is both If you want to ruin my name, why can't I use the other person's methods to ruin her reputation..."
When Jiang Nu heard this, her eyes lit up with enlightenment. Just when she was about to say something, Xiao Jiuniang's cry came from outside the door:
"Aniang——"
The two of them saw Xiao Jiuniang running towards her with her face covered and crying. When she arrived in front of Princess Yunyin, her wide sleeves fell down and some egg liquid dripped down her face. She looked ridiculous and extremely embarrassed!
"What's wrong with you?" Princess Yunyin asked.
Xiao Jiuniang cried: "It's not because of that cheap maid. My daughter just went out today and wanted to find Her Royal Highness Princess Ningyuan. When she passed by Jingyang East Street, she saw a group of people watching the excitement. My daughter was curious and ran to have a look. When I took a look, I saw a group of people smashing my brother with vegetables and fruits. My daughter wanted to ask someone to help her, but she screamed. Those people didn't even let me go, and they also smashed my daughter's carriage. pulpy!"
Princess Yunyin became angrier as she listened, and asked again: "Where is your brother?"
"Brother didn't dare to come to see my mother and had gone back to his room to take a bath. However, Jiuniang was not convinced. Aniang, didn't you already send someone to go... Why is that cheap maid still alive? And she is still alive Dare...dare to write those words to insult my mother!"
"abuse?"
"Yes, those people...those people say that my mother is a vicious and shameless person, who will not even let go of a fifteen-year-old girl, and she still has the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren!"
"Those people?" Princess Yunyin was suspicious and thought for a moment, "Who are those people? Why should they say whatever they say? If they can say these things, we can also say them!"
Xiao Jiuniang seemed to have thought of something, stopped crying and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Jiu Niang, A Niang has told you a long time ago that there are some things we can't do, but we can find others to do it for us. There are some things we can't say directly, but we can also find others to say it for us. This bastard servant , she actually wanted to ruin my reputation in such a simple and rude way as soon as she returned to Jiankang, so naturally our Xiao family can’t let her have an easy time!”
Princess Yunyin rubbed her handkerchief, looked at Xiao Jiuniang, and said confidently: "Now, mother has something you need to do!"
…
Not long after, the news reached Linshui Pavilion, and Feng Dong was already laughing so hard that he couldn't stand upright.
"Lang Jun, haven't you seen the appearance of Eight Lang Jun and Ninth Lady when they came back? They were covered in rotten vegetables, leaves and eggs, with several streaks of color on their faces. They were crying like ghosts and wolves howling. I don't think they have ever been so 'splendid' in this life. After all, I should be back to take a bath in my yard now!"
"I really didn't expect that little lady to come here again and hang those dead men directly in front of the most conspicuous Xinghua Yanyu Building on Jingyang Street. There are always the most guests there, and most of them are aristocratic families and merchants. , now no one knows that our mistress of the Xiao family has sent death warriors to hunt down her granddaughter!"
"The Eighth Prince and the Nine Lady have always been arrogant and domineering. They often bully the Prince with sarcasm and sarcasm. The little lady's outburst can be regarded as making the Master angry!"
"If Lang Jun is also Xiao, I really want to take Lang Jun to the Xinghua Yanyu Building to see the excitement..."
When Feng Dong said this, he looked at Xiao Xian with some embarrassment, but saw that the smile that had just risen on his lips slowly dropped.
"I'm sorry, Lang Jun. I'm afraid that those people, as long as they are named Xiao, will throw vegetables, leaves and eggs, which will not be good for Lang Jun, so it's better for us to stay at home now, but...slave After bringing such good news to Lang Jun, why doesn't Lang Jun smile happily?" There was a hint of disappointment in his tone.
Xiao Xian chuckled lightly, but said: "I'm not worried about being thrown vegetables and eggs when I go out now. I'm just afraid that doing so will attract Princess Yunyin..."
"Oh, Mr. Lang is worried about the young lady! However, the young lady also said that she didn't need you to interfere, Mr. Jun, which means that she has already made up her mind. And I see that the young lady is really smart and capable. Lang Jun, don’t worry too much..."
Xiao Xian nodded without saying anything, but the worry in his brows could not be dissipated.
To announce what Princess Yunyin had done so directly in front of everyone would certainly gain sympathy from some people, but the Chen family's ability to confuse black and white and cover up the facts was already a specialty of the clan. Such intensification of conflicts would only She was afraid that it would attract even more vicious revenge from Princess Kumogakure... She would not be unaware of the consequences, but what benefit would doing this have to her?
