V2.Chapter 185
Li Shi didn't do well in front of her father-in-law, and resigned unwillingly.
As soon as he left the flower hall, Li's face elongated.
She understands that her father-in-law doesn't like her, and always thinks that she doesn't control Helianqi, but her father-in-law doesn't think about it. Helianqi's romantic debts can't be counted for three days and three nights. Isn't she the most wronged?
How many illegitimate children has he produced outside these years?
He died when he died. Anyway, she started to be a widow a few years ago. She has a son and a daughter, so she doesn't have to worry about it in the rest of her life. Isn't it the same for Xianggong? Not yet at ease!
Li Shi thought so in her heart, but she didn't dare to show the slightest on her face, otherwise her father-in-law would see that she was gloating and eating her good fruit again.
"Madam, are you going back to the yard?" asked Mama Wang, who was beside her.
Li's steps paused: "No, go to Dongfu."
Wang's mother asked, "It's getting late, what is Madam going to do in Dongfu?"
Li snorted: "A young master has come out of thin air, I can't go to check if it's true or not!"
"..." Mother Wang couldn't persuade her, so she had to let her go.
Mrs. Li was not too rude, so she asked Wang's mother to prepare ginseng bird's nest and send it to the young master in Dongfu in person. At this moment, the old lady had just finished feeding the baby's heart with dinner. Literally, the old lady took it seriously. Holding the bowl, spoon by spoon to feed Yan Jiuchao.
Yan Jiuchao's face turned black.
The old lady was overjoyed when she watched the baby eat it carefully, one bite at a time.
"Old lady, it's time to drink the medicine." The maid brought the old lady's medicine bowl.
The old lady frowned and said displeasedly, "What to drink? My grandson is back, and I am cured! I don't need to drink medicine!"
The maids persuaded for a long time to no avail, so they had to put down the medicine.
Not long after, Lao Cuitou also brought a bowl of medicine, which belonged to Yan Jiuchao.
The matter of Yan Jiuchao's poisoning was naturally concealed from the old lady, and she only told her that she had a weak disease in her mother's womb.
Yan Jiuchao's stomach was so stretched that he couldn't drink it.
But the old lady thought that he was too bitter and didn't want to drink it, so she had someone bring her own medicine over: "Grandma accompanies you to drink it."
...I don't know who is with whom.
In short, the old and the young have all finished their own medicines, and then they can hear the report: the second lady is here.
Yan Jiuchao's eyes paused.
The old lady clapped his hand and said kindly, "Don't be afraid, it's your second aunt."
It was the second aunt who had to be "feared". After all, the other party was Helianqi's first wife.
Because of the old lady's love for Yan Jiuchao, Yan Jiuchao could easily dismiss the other party, but he couldn't hide for a while. These "relatives" in Helian's house would eventually be seen.
The old lady asked her servants to call Mrs. Li in.
Nanzhao was still a little hot in September, and the grandparents and grandsons sat under the porch to enjoy the shade.
Mrs. Li saw the old lady's precious grandson in the mouth of the next person at a glance. The other party was wearing a plain white robe, with a long body, black hair like ink, and facial features like jade. I don't know if it was because of the illness, and his face was a little cold. Bai, his left hand was tucked into his wide sleeve, and his right hand was holding a white jade cup. The slender fingertips were icy clear, which complemented his appearance, and he held an immortal-like appearance.
If it is said that this is a liar who came to fool the old lady, she would not believe it.
The appearance that is unique in the sky and the earth is not something that ordinary people can give birth to, and the extravagance that radiates from the femur is three points more noble than his own son, and he looks like... a royal family.
Li spit, she must be crazy, how could the other party be the royal family?
However, this kid is different from anyone who has recognized his relatives in the past. Could it be that the grandson of the old lady's direct relative is back?
"Come here." The old lady waved to Mrs. Li.
Only then did Mrs. Li realize that the old lady was smiling like a child. She had never seen the old lady smile like this before. If it wasn't for her true grandson, how could she have achieved such a virtue?
Li Shi couldn't help but look at Yan Jiuchao again.
I glanced at him from a distance before, and I was already shocked. Now that I am close, I just feel that this man is simply unreasonable.
From the looks of it alone, he doesn't look like a member of the Helian family; but if he wasn't from the Helian family, how could he be born so good-looking?
Mrs. Li asked Yan Jiuchao a few non-painful questions, where did he live, how did he come from, who are his relatives, and the servants in the yard answered them one by one, which was exactly the same as Helian Beiming's remarks. , As for Yan Jiuchao herself, she didn't even give her a straight eye.
Li Shi was in a hurry, this kid is too arrogant!
"Oh, don't keep talking to my good grandson!" The old lady was unhappy, she didn't say enough, why is this niece-in-law so lacking in eyesight, I didn't see her face already written you hurry up and don't disturb Me and my good grandson?
Li still wanted to ask more questions and let the old lady blow away.
The old lady was a little impatient and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yan Jiuchao hummed, "I don't like her staring at me all the time."
The old lady said without thinking, "The grandmother doesn't like it either! We won't see her in the future!"
Li still wanted to find another chance to find out the truth and the plan was just stifled in the cradle.
"Mother Wang." Mrs. Li was walking back to the West Mansion, thinking about Yan Jiuchao's appearance constantly in her mind.
"What's the matter, ma'am?" asked Mama Wang.
"Do you think that child looks familiar, as if he's seen it before?" The more Li Shi thought about it, the more so, especially those eyes.
How dare Mama Wang look directly at her master's face? He only said: "It's the Helian family, no wonder Madam feels familiar."
"Really?" Li Shi felt that those were not the eyes of the Helian family, but whose eyes were they? Li can't remember.
...
On the busy street, a carriage stopped in front of a lively pavilion. On the golden plaque, there were three big characters - Juxian Building.
Yu Wan lifted the curtain of the car and took a look: "This is where Grandma asked us to come?"
"Yes." Qingyan jumped out of the carriage and reached out to help Yu Wan.
Jiang Hai coldly blocked his hand and handed over his arm.
Yu Wan didn't care about Jiang Hai's small movements, but she didn't go to support his arm. At this height, she easily jumped down.
Qingyan snorted with amusement.
Jiang Hai ignored him, silently withdrew his hand, and handed the carriage to the doorman of Juxian Tower.
For the convenience of traveling, Yu Wan changed into men's clothes and shook a folding fan in her hand, looking like a handsome young man.
Since Helian Beiming changed her name, then she is Young Master Yan.
She swaggered into the Juxian Building.
You Xiao Er greeted him with a smile: "The three young masters looked at their faces, but the first time you come back to the Juxian Building?"
Yu Wan lowered her voice and said, "Yes, this is the first time, but I'm not here to eat, I'm here to ask you for news."
"Inquire about news?" Xiao Er was stunned.
Yu Wan shook her folding fan and said, "I heard that you can buy news here, right or not?"
Xiao Eryi smiled: "Yes, we have a lot of guests going from south to north, and we are well-informed. You don't need to spend money to buy it. As long as we know it, we will tell when the guests ask."
It turned out to be like this, so this store is too good at doing business, right? But thinking about it, there is no loss, but a few exchanges of information can make people willing to buy a table of expensive wine and vegetables, but they still earn.
Xiao Er smiled and said, "A few guest officers are sitting in the lobby or upstairs in the wing."
Yu Wan said, "The wing room."
There are mines at home, and the money is not bad!
Xiao Er led the three upstairs. The business of Juxian Building was booming. Only the last wing was left. The minimum consumption was fifty taels.
Several people entered the house.
Yu Wan said to Xiao Er, "If you have any good wines and dishes, just bring them up."
Xiao Er nodded as if pounding garlic: "Yes! Yes! Xiao Er will go!"
Guests who do not bargain are rare these days!
The little two went madly.
In a short time, a large table of delicious food and wine was presented one after another. It has to be said that it is not unreasonable for the consumption of Juxianlou to be so high. The taste of the dishes on this table alone is comparable to the royal banquet in the palace.
The three people who originally had no intention of drinking alcohol, stupefied their stomachs.
Looking at a large table of plates, Yu Wan finally did not forget the business of the night, she called the young second, and asked him: "I heard that the imperial capital sells Lingzhi, and one of them has a flavor of Fire Lingzhi, I don't know if it is True or false."
"Huo Lingzhi..." Xiao Er's face was embarrassed.
Yu Wan threw him a piece of silver.
Xiao Er's eyes rolled.
Yu Wan threw him another ingot of gold, and Xiao Er took the gold and silver into her arms, and said to Yu Wan, "We have to ask our shopkeeper about this, Young Master wait a moment, I'll go and call the shopkeeper right now!"
The shopkeeper came very quickly, and bowed his hands to the people in the house.
"It's alright, it's alright, the false ceremony will be avoided." Yu Wan tapped the table with the folding fan, "I'm here to ask Huo Lingzhi."
The shopkeeper stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "Huo Lingzhi has been sold."
Yu Wan frowned: "What does it mean to sell?"
The shopkeeper said, "Oh, originally, Fire Lingzhi was the treasure of Chunhui Hall, but then a rich boy bought it and gave it to Dong Xian'er, the florist on the first floor. If you want this Fire Lingzhi, I'm afraid that Go to the meeting with Miss Dong."
"Where is the first floor?" Yu Wan asked Qingyan next to her in a low voice.
Qingyan said: "The brothel."
Yu Wan: "..."
The first floor is not only a brothel, but also the most prestigious brothel in the imperial capital, with carved beams and painted buildings, like an immortal palace. As for Dong Xianer, the shopkeeper's mouth is the most unreachable oiran since the first floor opened.
She has won the top of the Oiran Competition for three consecutive years, and is worthy of the title of the first beauty in the imperial capital.
It's just that the beauty is so delicate, and her temper is notoriously bad. If she wants to steal something from her, she is afraid that she will not be able to do it. If she wants to be tough, each of her four masters is in her own hands. The golden-faced dead man.
After listening to the shopkeeper's popular science, Yu Wan sighed in her heart, is this the rhythm forcing her to enter the kiln again?
