Chapter 40 Late Night Visitors
Liu Ziyue asked Qingzhu to recomb her a simple bun and put on half-old clothes from the simple home. The master and servant said a few words of their own feelings to each other, but without delaying it, they got up and went straight to the old lady to the yard.
Seeing the maids and mothers standing in the corridor of the old lady in the yard, Liu Ziyue knew that the owners of the houses had arrived. He lifted the curtain and entered the door. He saw the old lady sitting on the upper side, and the eldest lady, the second lady and the other lady were sitting on the chairs on both sides of the lower head. The girls and the young men in each room were each sitting on the little scepter behind the ladies. Everyone picked up the interesting stories from Beijing recently and said to the old lady, and they were talking and laughing.
As soon as Liu Ziyue entered the door, she suddenly became laughter. As soon as she finished the ceremony, she heard the fifth girl Liu Xianyue say sarcastically: "The eldest sister is now expensive, and her airs are getting bigger, and she asks the people in this room to wait for her hungry."
Liu Ziyue smiled and said, "Tingyuxuan is a little remote, not as good as Wumei's String Music Courtyard. It's cheaper everywhere. If Wumei is hungry, just ask someone to take a few cakes to eat first. The uncle and the uncle have not arrived yet."
The fifth girl was still trying to argue, but was stopped by the eldest lady: "Okay, if you are hungry, eat some snacks first to make up for it. I have been fined these days before I let you out, and I haven't learned to improve yet."
Liu Ziyue sat down behind the eldest lady, and then she heard a rumor outside that the old man and several grandpas arrived. The old lady then asked someone to have dinner, and the men and women sat in separate seats. After the meal, everyone gathered in the flower hall in the upper courtyard and talked.
The old lady said, "Tomorrow is an autumn festival, and it is the day when the Wu family opens a ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. What the clans of the clans will come will come. Don't delay the affairs of the fifth aunt and Xiao Jiuer. Just take advantage of tomorrow's big day to do it and add a few strokes to the family tree. Although the wedding day of the big girl has not been decided yet, I think it will be done after the New Year at the latest. The clans of the clans will temporarily stay until the big girl gets married, and the eldest daughter-in-law's living room has been arranged?"
The eldest lady said, "All have been arranged."
The old lady said again: "These girls and men in the mansion are all older, so don't lose their manners in front of the guests. It's useless to make the country people laugh at us for not knowing how to educate us."
The younger generations promised, and the old lady said again: "The food in the kitchen in the mansion must be more refined and the portion should be larger. The country people are pitiful and have never eaten good food before. If it is not enough, we will be stingy."
The eldest lady agreed, and the old lady said with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work in your wife, you are the most virtuous, and you are the best." The old lady said to the old lady again: "Boss, you should love your wife more. No matter how good your aunt is, she is just a plaything. Never go over your wife."
The old man glanced at the eldest lady and nodded, "Yes, my son knows the right way."
The old lady talked about some things to pay attention to when opening the ancestral hall tomorrow, including three sacrifices, incense, candles, utensils, etc., so we must find all the good things, and don’t let our ancestors be ruined. The old lady has always wanted to be respected and will not let others look down on her. Therefore, these things have come.
Liu Ziyue sat aside without any concern, just listening to the fun thing, and suddenly heard the eldest lady call her name. The eldest lady said, "The eldest lady is about to leave the house, so she should prepare for the embroidered wedding dresses. The eldest lady was sick and was about to raise her in the countryside, and she didn't understand some rules. The eldest lady, Wang and Chen, are quite smart and knowledgeable people, should rely more on them."
Liu Ziyue looked at the eldest lady suspiciously, and saw that her face was not different, she could not guess what the eldest lady was trying to do this. Back in the yard, Liu Ziyue had nothing to say, and called everyone away. Turned off the lights, sat cross-legged on the couch and practiced qigong. It was late at night, and the moon was bright white, and there was occasionally a sound of insects among the flowers, plants and trees in the yard. Suddenly, a faint and messy aura fluctuated in the hidden corner of the yard.
"Who? Come out." Liu Ziyue crossed the green screen window and shouted in a hidden place in the corner of the courtyard, "What's the ability to hide your head and tail in the middle of the night?"
A low laugh came from the shadows at the corner of the courtyard, and then someone came out. Before Liu Ziyue could see the other person clearly, she felt a flash of light in front of her eyes, and a cold fragrance came towards her. Liu Ziyue subconsciously dodged sideways and counterattacked with a backhand. The man had already flew in the window, standing in front of her with his hands facing her back.
Liu Ziyue thought to herself that her ability must be no match for him.
"You are visiting late at night, I don't know what's important?" Liu Ziyue said.
"Growing forward." The visitor turned around and said to Liu Ziyue.
"King of Wise?" Liu Ziyue saw the person clearly and said in surprise. In the capital of Donghua Kingdom, only the King of Wise wears a green-faced and fanged mask all year round. The last time he met the King of Wise in the wilderness was the King of Wise. This was what Liu Ziyue knew after returning to the capital.
The wise king glanced at Liu Ziyue, sat down on the little moustache by the round table, and glanced at the decorations and layouts in the house. Although it was not as exquisite and extravagant, it was barely acceptable. He nodded and said, "I lived a good life."
Liu Ziyue sat back on the couch and frowned and said, "Wouldn't the wise king come to visit late at night to talk about these things, right?"
The wise king said: "Are you Mr. Liu Yue?"
Liu Ziyue said, "So what, so what, no?" Liu Ziyue calmed down on her face, but she was shocked. Since he could find out, does it mean that other people in the capital would know soon? Liu Ziyue thought about the troubles caused by her identity being exposed, and she felt a headache. She thought that Liu Yue's identity was fabricated, so she forgot to hide her weakness during the competition. She clearly showed no flaws in her disguise, but before she came back, everyone who repeatedly confirmed to follow her was thrown away by her.
The wise king looked at Liu Ziyue for a few seconds, as if he could see her worries, and chuckled: "I know you are afraid? All the families in the capital are looking for you, and even the emperor was alarmed. You are so capable that even the king has taken a look."
Liu Ziyue said in surprise: "But she can calculate more than others, why is this?"
The wise king said: "Natural. No matter which force you are, what you need most is talents. The larger the power and consortium, the more daily accounts you have, you can use as many as one of them. You can easily sort out their extremely prone to errors. Are the tricks you showed today enough to make them salivate?"
Liu Ziyue stared at the wise king alertly and said, "So are you?"
The wise king said honestly: "So is this king."
Liu Ziyue nodded clearly. It seems that she had spent a lot of effort to find her so quickly. She spread her hands helplessly and sighed: "I don't know what the prince is going to do, but I don't want to participate in those things. I just want to be a free and idle person in my life."
The wise king sneered, "Who doesn't want to be a free and idle person? No power, no power, no money, the world is so great that you are willing to be a free and idle person, if you don't look for others, you will come to you, if you don't look for trouble, you will worry about you, if you want to refuse, but you are powerless, what if you do? Even if you shave your head and become a sister in the temple, you can't live without people, and naturally you can't live without things. There are rules in the temple. If you can't be free, how can you be free and easy? Think about it yourself, how can you be really free."
After saying that, the Xianwang got up and shook his sleeves and left the window, leaving only a faint cold fragrance. Liu Ziyue stared at the shadow of the tree that was shaking gently outside the window, and the Xianwang's figure was gone.
What he said is not something she can't understand? If you want to be truly at ease, you can only stand on a high place and hold a fearful power in your hand. Even if you are in a capital city with sudden changes, you can still enjoy the Pure Land. She doesn't understand the Virtuous King, and she doesn't know what the Virtuous King wants to do, but she knows that the Virtuous King is a dangerous person and wants to stay away from him by instinctively. She doesn't want to disturb his affairs, and she doesn't think about it at all, even if she and him are unmarried couples. She is obviously a terminally ill person, but she can keep silent.
She sneaked into the Shangshu Mansion without a sound. She was obviously an orphan in the royal family, but she could escape open and hidden arrows and grow up safely. Although she didn't know what kind of power he held, she knew it was definitely not small by looking at the ulterior motives of the emperor and the old man. Although she wanted power and wanted to protect herself, she did not want to fall into the endless battle of imperial power. Some things, once they started, they would only live to the death and could not escape unscathed. Besides, why should she believe him? What she wanted would be fought for by herself.
Liu Ziyue lay on the embroidery bed, leaning sideways with her head resting on her hands, thinking about opening a shop in her mind. She could not participate in the struggle for power for the time being, but she was good at doing business. In this era, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were the lowest, but business was nothing absolute. When she held absolute financial power, even the emperor holding supreme power would be afraid of her. Food is the most important thing for the people, and it was the same in any era. Liu Ziyue decided to start with food.
On the second day, Liu Ziyue woke up and called Qingzhu to serve the changing clothes. However, the one who came in was Wang Chener. Liu Ziyue then realized that the eldest wife transferred Qingzhu and the four of them to the living yard to serve. She said that there were many people coming from the clan today, so she was afraid that she would not be busy for a while, so she drew some people from all over the place to serve for two days. When the countryside villages were selected and filled, they would let them come back as they were.
"We are old and weak, and we are not worthy of serving our people. The old lady is afraid of losing the face of the Shangshu Mansion, so she specially asked the eldest lady to pick up a bright little girl in the water to serve in the guesthouse." Mrs. Wang held a brocade-woven Dutch lace stand-up collar short dress with big red gold silk and silver thread embroidered begonia flowers, and stood in front of Liu Ziyue with eight-piece silk skirts of the same color and flowers and curled her lips.
Mrs. Chen shook her clothes in front of Liu Ziyue. A faint fragrance on the clothes hit her. Liu Ziyue frowned and said, "Where did it come from?"
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "It's done in the embroidery room."
Liu Ziyue said: "Change one and a half old ones, keep it for weddings."
Mrs. Wang said, "Mrs. said that the girl wanted to kowtow to her ancestors later. She then turned around and saw that the clan members wanted to be decent and asked the girl to wear this one."
Mrs. Chen also echoed: "The eldest lady is virtuous and serves the girl sincerely. The girl should also earnestly give her face to the eldest lady."
