"Father, I will go the day after tomorrow." Xing Qi said.
"If something really happens, wouldn't you be trapped if you go?" Mr. Xing hesitated.
Xing Qi pointed to the letter on the table, "What do you think of the words on it, father?"
"Very good, she looks like a woman, and she has good skills." Mr. Xing picked up the paper in front of him and looked at it. The handwriting was very regular. It could be seen that the person who wrote didn't want to leave any handwriting. Each stroke was like ink staining.
"Not only do they have good skills, but they have also practiced calligraphy for several years. This calligraphy cannot be written by a maid. There are also maids who learned from their masters. Their handwriting looks good, but the strength is not enough. Even if they are from aristocratic families,
It’s impossible for a big maid to just do nothing and practice calligraphy wholeheartedly.”
Xing Qi pointed to the few words on it and said, these words seemed easier to distinguish than others and the strength of the writing.
After Master Xing looked at it carefully, he nodded: "It is indeed impossible for him to be a young boy. If the maid can write, she must have practiced calligraphy well."
"But this strength is not like that of a man. Please see, father, when a man writes, he will exert downward force here. In terms of strength, a woman cannot compare with a man. Even if she writes the same words, you can still tell how many
Points." Xing Qi continued to point down.
Lord Xing nodded repeatedly.
"I'm not a maid, and I can't be that kind of stewardess. To be able to write such a letter and know the plans of the second house of the Marquis of Zhengyuan, I think she must be someone from their house, and
This person absolutely doesn't want to see Yu Lanxue's affair come to fruition." Xing Qi continued to deduce.
"Since there is such a person around and I am careful, nothing will happen to me when I go to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion this time. This marriage must be settled, but it cannot be our family's debt." Xing Qi said coldly.
road.
Seeing his son's insistence, and knowing that the marriage between the two families was inappropriate, and that it was impossible for him to marry a poisonous woman, Mr.
Sister, I heard that the relationship between the two is still very close."
"Father, maybe he really is a member of the royal family." Xing Qi was silent for a moment and said calmly.
"How... is this possible? With your status over there, you can't reach the royal family? None of the princes are married. How can she be a good match for the prince and concubine who is being chosen now?" Lord Xing said after pondering.
The three princes are not young now, and now they have to choose a marriage partner. However, with their status, the three princes are likely to choose those who will help them. If Zhengyuan Hou is here, he will not be able to have a niece, let alone Zheng Yuanhou.
Yuanhou is no longer here, and without Zhengyuanhou, the Zhengyuanhou Mansion has long since declined.
"Father, if you're not the main concubine, you can also be the side concubine, or something else." Xing Qi said mockingly.
"Mrs. Zhengyuan Hou lied to us?" Mr. Xing said angrily.
"Not necessarily!" Xing Qi shook his head and mocked: "I'm afraid Mrs. Zhengyuanhou didn't see through her true face. Father, think about it, now that Mrs. Zhengyuanhou has just passed away, Yu Lanxue can't hold back her anger. She is plotting against us wholeheartedly.
, I don’t have the slightest affection for Madam Zhengyuanhou who just passed away. She said she would keep filial piety for her uncle at first, but within three years, it is clear that it is Madam Zhengyuanhou who really loves her, but now there is no mention of keeping filial piety!"
Even if it lasts for a month or half a month, it will be accepted that Yu Lanxue is my niece.
But now, I haven’t mentioned it at all...
"This woman... is not simple. You have to be careful." Mr. Xing reminded him uneasily. Although his son is smart, he must have never experienced such a thing.
"Father, don't worry. My son understands and will make some preparations soon." Xing Qi bowed and saluted Mr. Xing, then raised his legs and walked out.
"Father, what do you think of this sachet?" Yu Xijiao took the sachet in front of her and went to Yu Ruiwen to "offer the treasure".
"Bamboo embroidery?" Yu Ruiwen saw the green bamboo on it and recognized it immediately. Although he usually didn't pay attention to his eldest daughter, he always inadvertently saw a green bamboo sachet hanging around her waist.
"It was embroidered by my eldest sister. She has been so busy these days and even embroidered a sachet for me." Yu Xi looked through it fondly, "Father, look at the bamboo embroidered by my eldest sister. It is more beautiful than the ones bought outside."
Yu Xijiao took out another sachet and placed the two sachets together for Yu Ruiwen to see.
Yu Ruiwen looked at the left side and then the right side. He didn't see any difference, so he could only say vaguely: "Sure enough, your eldest sister is better at embroidering."
"Father, see what's good about it?" Yu Xijiao pulled Yu Ruiwen's clothes and said cautiously, "Father, isn't it my Huyan?"
Yu Ruiwen hurriedly shook his head: "How could it be possible? Although my father doesn't understand, it looks inferior to the one your eldest sister embroidered."
"Father, look at the threads that the eldest sister collected." Yu Xijiao pointed to the green bamboo in the two purses, "The ones bought outside were collected at the starting point. It looks a bit uneven. The eldest sister specially collected them in the first bamboo of the green bamboo.
The bamboo branches are originally protruding. If they are slightly protruding, they will look more outstanding."
Yu Xijiao pointed to the green bamboo on the Yuzhu Qingqing embroidered purse. She was pointing to the first bamboo joint. "The eldest sister said, the bottom bamboo branch is the deepest and most protruding. It is also the easiest place to hide threads.
.”
Hearing what Yu Xijiao said, Yu Ruiwen indeed discovered such a small difference. It was indeed a wonderful idea, and nodded: "It's quite an idea."
"Eldest sister said that she didn't give such a sachet to any outsider, but gave it to me." Yu Xijiao said proudly.
"Since I have received such a benefit from your eldest sister, I must get along well with your eldest sister in the future." Yu Ruiwen said with a smile.
"Father, don't worry, I will get along well with the eldest sister. Although it was the first time I saw the eldest sister before, I felt that the eldest sister was my long-lost sister. She looked familiar." Yu Xijiao shook her head.
The sachet in his hand said.
"Your eldest sister has a pitiful life experience. Since she is a long-lost sister, she should get along well with her. You just returned to the capital. If you don't understand anything, just ask your eldest sister. Aunt Zhou is now in charge of the affairs of the house.
Come on, you and your eldest sister will help Aunt Zhou handle the affairs together, learn to take charge first, and if you don’t understand, just ask directly."
Yu Ruiwen said.
Yu Ruiwen thought a lot these days. Although the so-called witchcraft incident was a false alarm, it made people break into cold sweats. Then the incident about Yu Zhuqing's clothes made him feel that Qian's hypocrisy towards his daughter, whether it was the eldest daughter or the
The younger daughters were not born to Mr. Qian, and Mr. Qian was not friendly to either daughter.
Yu Ruiwen didn't dare to think any further, but subconsciously felt that he had to be good to his two daughters. Whether it was the eldest daughter or the youngest daughter, he had the responsibility of negligence.
It is wrong to think that Mrs. Qian can be very good to her son and she will also be kind to her eldest daughter. As for her little daughter who was raised in Jiangnan, Mrs. Qian has often told him about Mr. Xie's excesses in Jiangnan over the years. She always thinks of Yu Ruiwen.
He was very angry and felt that Xie Mansion had caused him to betray the Xie family and not tell him anything, and also made him lose face.
From then on, they no longer thought about their little daughter, and simply let go and saw what they could do with their little daughter.
Now when I think about it, I feel regretful and guilty at the same time. My little daughter is so innocent. What does she know at such a young age? How come I breathed a breath of evil on her and ignored her for so many years.
I thought too much, and some long-standing things came to mind. I thought of Mr. Xie, and the time when I was in harmony with Mr. Xie. At first, the two of them really liked each other, and they really wanted to be together forever from now on. At that time, Yu Ruiwen
Although he didn't have much courage, Mr. Xie had never been harsh on him.
When did the two people start to drift apart?
It was the Qian family. Qian entered the mansion because he agreed to let Qian enter the mansion in order to repay the kindness of Qian's mother. Since then, the Xie family has gradually drifted away from him...
Is he actually... wrong?
Yu Ruiwen shook hands vigorously, suppressing the regret that suddenly surfaced in his heart.
"Father, we are going to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion to pay homage to Lord Lanxuan County. Are you going, second sister?" Yu Xijiao asked suddenly, playing with the sachet in her hand.
"Your second sister has been infected with the cold these days, so she won't go." Yu Ruiwen was unhappy. This reason was obviously a dodge. He originally meant that the three daughters would go together. Yu Yuxi was also an obedient person in the past, so why does she feel so uncomfortable now?
I was sensible before.
"Madam and Mrs. Ning from Zhengyuan Hou Mansion are cousins. I would have thought that the relationship between the two families would be very good, but I didn't expect it to be the case." Yu Xijiao was surprised and blinked with watery eyes.
"Why is the relationship bad?" Yu Ruiwen asked casually.
"Father, when I came to the capital, things happened one after another in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. Whenever something happened, my second sister was not around. If I were Mrs. Ning, I would probably wonder if our Marquis Mansion was deliberately neglecting them." Yu Xi said delicately.
These words made Yu Ruiwen's heart move inexplicably. He had been thinking a lot recently. Although the art of witchcraft and Gu was not completely torn apart in the end, in Yu Ruiwen's heart, this matter had something to do with the Qian family. Whether to tear it apart or not was still a matter of concern.
Root thorn, unless one day Qian can completely prove to him that this matter has nothing to do with her.
What happened after that pierced this thorn deeper. Now every time I think about things, I always wonder if it has anything to do with the Qian family. What else am I thinking about?
She thought so in her heart, but said vaguely: "Your second sister has never been in good health, and her relationship with the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion is not very close. The current Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion is even more outrageous. Stay away if you can."
, so as not to lead others astray."
"What my father said is true, but Lord Lanxuan is a good person." Yu Xijiao blinked and insisted.
"My father didn't say that Mr. Lanxuan was not good, it's just that she...is no longer here." Yu Ruiwen pressed the top of his little daughter's hair.
"Father, you messed up my hair." Yu Xijiao hurriedly pressed her head and hid, "Father, you messed up my hair, you have to pay for it."
"What do you want to compensate?" Yu Ruiwen asked with a smile, his eyebrows gentle.
"Ask me something from my father." Yu Xijiao rolled her eyes and said coquettishly. Most of her purpose of coming here was for this reason...
