Daily life of noble ladies of the Three Kingdoms

After He Yan left, Cao Zhang whispered to Si Qi and asked, "Do you think he is well dressed?"

Si Qi thought that Cao Zhang wanted to chat, so he responded casually, "Very good."

Cao Zhang said again: "Yes, although he was just taken over at the beginning of this year, he has lived a very good life in our house, and he has never been short of anything to eat."

Si Qi nodded, and said "hmm" again.

Indeed, looking at He Yan's face, he knew that he should be living a life of a wealthy son with no worries about food and clothing in the house.

Cao Zhang said again: "My sister also knows that Uncle Ping... is not my father's biological child. But my father treats the children with the most compassion. Even if Uncle Ping is only an adopted son, he treats him very well. OK."

So, if I become your adopted brother and you become his adopted daughter in the future, he will definitely treat you well!

Hearing what Cao Zhang said, Si Qi couldn't help but ignite the fire of gossip again.

She remembered that He Yan's father passed away when he was very young. Cao Cao took a fancy to the beauty of his mother, Yin Shi, and took him into the mansion as his concubine. He Yan was adopted by the Cao family because of this, and Cao Cao liked him very much. Cao Cao even promised his youngest daughter to be his wife. 【1】

What Cao Zhang said was right. He Yan and Cao Cao were indeed not related by blood.

But having said that, Cao Cao took He Yan so seriously, apart from the fact that he himself fell into Cao Cao's eyes and attracted his liking, is it because his mother, Yin's family, is so beautiful?

But of course you can't say that directly in front of Cao Zhang, Si Qi smiled and commented: "Sikong is a very good person."

Next, Cao Zhang took Siqi to the flower hall to taste the plums he made. Siqi tasted one seriously, and said it was very good, the taste was very good, and he could be a teacher.

Cao Zhang was happy, but he still said modestly: "Compared to the ones my sister made with her own hands in the past, it is still a bit worse. If my sister wants to make pickled plums this year, remember to send me two jars too."

After talking about plums, Si Qi remembered something again, and said: "I went to the countryside with my grandmother to give porridge in the past few days, seeing how difficult the people's livelihood is, and thinking that food is not easy to come by, so I thought about making some plum wine, and I will give it to you when the time comes. You try it."

Cao Zhang happily said hello, and then said: "My father is very kind to the first two adopted sons in the house. We each got some of the plums you brought last time, even He Yan got some. "

Si Qi: ...

Didn't we talk about this topic just now?Why did you turn around and mention it after you just said a few words?

Cao Zhang is a good young man in his prime, when did he start talking about others like Liu Xie?

==

A few days later, the fiancée Yu Jiasanniang, whom Zhang had chosen for Liu Heng, came to Jingyuan by car.

Yu Sanniang was about the same age as Liu Heng, around fifteen or sixteen years old, she was a petite girl with beautiful features and a slender figure, she looked quite fragile.

Under the guidance of the maid, Yu Sanniang went to Mrs. Zhang Tai's yard. After meeting Mrs. Zhang, she bowed to Si Qi who was sitting by the side: "I heard about Mrs. Zhang's name when I was at home, and today I got it." See, I am very happy."

Si Qi smiled and said that the whole family does not need to be formal, and asked Ah Fei to help Sanniang Yu up, asked her to sit aside, and chatted with her a few homely words.

During this process, Zhang didn't say much from the beginning to the end.

Si Qi turned to look at his grandmother.

As she expected, Zhang's complexion has become bad.

After getting along with Zhang Shi for so many years, Si Qi has more or less grasped Zhang Shi's pulse.In fact, Zhang Shi didn't like women like Yu Jiasanniang, and even Yao Shi, whom she had a crush on recently, was also a bright and lively type.

As far as seeing his wife for the eldest grandson Liu Heng, Zhang would prefer a lively and healthy woman, even if she has a big arm and a round waist, it is more in line with Zhang's aesthetics than weak Liu Fufeng.

In addition, Yu Sanniang's way of speaking is also at odds with Zhang's. She deliberately drags out the text, and even pops up a written phrase or two that is not commonly used in ordinary chats. The behavior of dropping the book bag is a bit too obvious.

Even Si Qi couldn't stand this way of speaking, let alone Zhang Shi who never read books.

These days, it is inconvenient to communicate if we are far away. Zhang Shi can only know the temperament and appearance of Yu Jiasanniang from the letter, and because people are creatures that can make up their minds, after seeing the real thing, Zhang Shi found that Yu Jia Sanniang was in her imagination. It is only natural for Sanniang to have a big discrepancy with herself.

After seeing Yu Sanniang herself, Si Qi basically concluded that the Zhang family would never want to marry the Yu family again.

After eating the morning meal, Mrs. Zhang used the excuse that she was tired and wanted to rest, and asked Si Qi to take Yu Sanniang back to her own residence.

Si Qi responded, and took Yu Sanniang to the yard that Zhang's specially sent someone to tidy up.

When the two went out, they saw the servants coming and going in the east courtyard, cleaning up.

Yu Sanniang saw that the yard was big and nice, and thought it was cleaned up specially for her, so she was very happy.

Although Mrs. Zhang Tai doesn't seem to like her appearance very much, she still arranged this excellent courtyard, which is enough to show that she takes herself seriously.

Thinking of this, Yu Sanniang pretended to be ignorant and asked Si Qi: "Is there a visitor coming to the house? Why are you still tidying up the yard?"

Zhao Shi, who was accompanying him, said: "Our girl was named the Lord Weng at the beginning of the year. This is the yard specially packed for her to live in."

After arriving at the yard that Mrs. Zhang had prepared for her, the smile on Yu Sanniang's face couldn't hold back.

Just at this moment, Ah Qing came over and saluted Si Qi: "Slave maid, please welcome Master Weng. Your Majesty has seen two pomegranate trees in the garden that are very withered these past two days. I want to find two books on pomegranate planting." Look. Your Majesty has handed over the library to the Lord Weng to take care of it. There is no one in the house who understands better than the Lord Weng. The servants went to the library to take a look, but they felt dizzy, so they dared to ask the Lord for help. The servant finds two books and comes out."

Si Qi said hello, and after sending Yu Sanniang to his residence, he left Ah Zi and Mrs. Zhao here to help Yu Sanniang pack the box and luggage, while he followed Ah Qing to the library to find books for his father.

After the cleaning of the house was almost finished, Mrs. Zhao and A Fei left Yu Sanniang's yard.

After the two left, Yu Sanniang's face immediately collapsed.

"A long time ago, I heard my mother say that Mrs. Chengping is powerful. It's really a big show. I heard that no matter whether it is a nobleman in the palace or a family child, no one doesn't like her or say good things about her. Today I really saw it. .”

Such a girl's family has great fame and excellent reputation at a young age. King Li is in the mansion, but her two elder brothers have almost no names outside.

However, there is a girl from Jiajia who only cares about her own performance and steals the limelight from her elder brothers, which makes Yu Sanniang feel very contemptuous.

Shuang'er saw that her own girl started to be stubborn again, so she hurriedly persuaded her in a friendly voice: "I just heard from the people in Mrs. Tai's yard that Mr. Weng went to Chengping fiefdom a month ago, and just returned to Xu All come. She was raised by Mrs. Tai since she was a child, and she hasn't seen her for many days now, Mrs. Tai is very happy, girl, don't let Mrs. Tai feel that you don't like Mrs. Weng. "

Shuang'er originally tried to persuade her with good intentions, but when these words reached Yu Sanniang's ears, they changed in another way.

Nowadays, the world is very chaotic, and there are problems with the fiefdoms of many clans and noble families in the court. I heard that even Liu Yun has been occupied by Liu Zhang, but Siqi, a girl, has a whole county's fiefdom. Why!

==

Not long after, Liu Yun also heard about Yu Sanniang's visit to Jingyuan.I also heard that Mrs. Zhang doesn't like others.

Compared to Mrs. Zhang, Liu Yun is a truly respectable person. He knows the truth about being a person and doing things without embarrassing himself and not embarrassing others. He immediately asked Liu Heng to meet the girl in the flower hall. .

In any case, the third wife of the Yu family came all the way here because Mrs. Zhang said she wanted to see her for marriage. If she didn't like seeing the girl's appearance and behavior, even Liu Heng wouldn't let her meet. Relatives can't justify it.

Si Qi marinated a batch of sour bamboo shoots before leaving, and just remembered today, so he wanted to go to the small warehouse in the kitchen to open the jar and take it out to see the effect.

But he didn't want to meet Liu Heng on the way.

This place and Liu Heng's yard can be said to be in two completely opposite directions, and Si Qi felt strange: "Brother, why did you come here?"

It is not an exaggeration to say that the opposite is the opposite.

Liu Heng said: "According to my father's order, I went to see my cousin from the Yu family."

Thinking of Zhang's previous arrangements, Siqi instantly ignited the fire of gossip: "Then brother, what do you think of Sister Yu's family?"

Liu Heng blushed a little when asked by his sister: "It's okay."

This elder brother has always been well behaved and shy, Si Qi immediately understood what he meant by "it's okay".

This is fancy!

Thinking of Mrs. Zhang's behavior after seeing her cousin Yu's, and looking at his brother's blushing face now, Si Qi couldn't help sighing in his heart, as expected, he watched all the way alone!

Not long after, Mrs. Zhang also knew that Liu Heng felt good about Yu Sanniang, and her love for her grandson gained the upper hand again, and she no longer rejected Yu Sanniang in her heart.

Drinking the sour bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup that Si Qi asked the kitchen to cook, Zhang Shi sighed to Si Qi: "Actually, the third wife of the Yu family is not bad."

Yao Shi also said: "Yes, the young couple still love each other very well. Since the Lord separated from the first wife, he has been alone all the time. It is very distressing to see. If the two are in love with each other, why is this so? Woolen cloth?"

Si Qi was so upset that he glanced at Yao Shi.

This person has only been in the mansion for half a year, and he hasn't even seen her mother's face, so he just talks nonsense here, flattering Mrs. Zhang without principle, no wonder Mrs. Zhang likes her.

Si Qi also heard a lot about the divorce of her father and mother.The divorce between the two is definitely not the mother's problem alone.

The two of them are out of step, and their temperaments are not in tune. Xun Yue has a lot of expectations for her husband, but he has not been able to get the feedback he wants from Liu Yun. In addition, she and Zhang's family background are extremely difficult to get along. had to separate.

Thinking of this, Si Qi secretly made another note for Yao Shi in his small notebook.

==

Two days later, Cao Cao personally came to Jingyuan to send an invitation to Liu Yun, saying that Cao Pi was about to get married, and that he would invite King Li, Mrs. Tai and Lord Weng to attend the wedding banquet.

Facing the boss's politeness, Liu Yun was flattered.

Now that there are changes in all parties, and the court is not peaceful, how busy has Cao Cao been since he came back from the river?Such an invitation has to be sent in person?

This is obviously not in line with the norm.

After Liu Yun accepted the invitation, he silently waited for Cao Cao's next words.

Sure enough, after Cao Cao put down the invitation, he said to Liu Yun, "I haven't seen Ah Ying for a long time. She is at home today. I just want to see her."

Liu Yun understood Cao Cao's request to see Siqi in seconds.

In Cao Cao's move, it is estimated that he still wanted to ask about the fireworks developed by Siqi.

But as far as this matter is concerned, the less people know about it, the better, so I used the pretext of sending a post to ask in person.

Liu Yun naturally agreed, and hurriedly asked Ah Qing to invite Si Qi to the study in the front yard.

Si Qi is now the lord, and she didn't need to be very polite when she saw Cao Cao, but she greeted her with the etiquette of a junior visiting a senior before sitting aside.

Cao Cao gave Si Qi an approving look, and couldn't wait to ask about the fireworks.

Si Qi said: "It's because I'm not good at learning skills, and now I only made two different kinds of fireworks, and the difference in color and shape is not too big. If Sikong needs it urgently, I can have someone make it for you to see."

Cao Cao said: "It's okay, today I'm here to send invitations to Jingyuan. I remember that I haven't seen Ah Ying for a long time, so I invite you to come over and ask. There is no need to rush this matter, just follow your own way and take your time." That's right."

Si Qi nodded in response.

After talking for about a quarter of an hour, Cao Cao was about to leave.

Liu Yun took Siqi to see him off.

Just as the group walked out, they happened to meet Yu Sanniang who came to chat with Liu Heng.

Cao Cao was busy talking and joking with Si Qi, and he didn't even give Yu Sanniang the slightest wink.

Si Qi can understand, after all, Cao Cao is also the kind of person who only sees beautiful women in his eyes, and only the beauty of He Yan's mother can attract his attention.

Yu Sanniang's looks are indeed not bad, but there is still a long way to go from the beauty in Cao Cao's heart who has read countless people.

Yu Sanniang looked at the man who was surrounded by people in a fancy dress, walked straight past her, her whole attention was on Si Qi, and she didn't even give King Li an extra look, the jealousy in her heart once again rose up.

==

In a blink of an eye it was the day of Cao Pi's wedding, and Mrs. Zhang took Siqi to the banquet.

Seeing the two newcomers dressed in happy clothes and high spirits today, Si Qi couldn't help thinking of the later love-hate relationship between Cao Pi, Zhen Mi and Queen Guo.

After the ceremony was completed and before the banquet, Bian told Zhang that the former son had received good incense, and thought Mrs. Tai would like it, so she wanted to take her inside to have a look.

Si Qi knew that Bian's subtext meant that he had something to say, so he quickly helped his grandmother and followed Bian in.

Mrs. Bian took out the incense and showed it to Mrs. Zhang, and said: "I heard from our lord a few days ago that the emperor intends to choose a wife for King Li. He asked King Li what he meant, and he knew that His Highness had no intention of choosing someone, so he asked people to follow her." His Majesty said that the matter will be shelved."

Cao Cao's own concubines filled the entire backyard, and his own women didn't bother to worry about it, let alone other people's marriages.The reason why he is concerned about Liu Yun's marriage this time is because he feels that his son will marry Si Qi sooner or later, and Liu Yun's future wife will be his son's nominal mother-in-law.

Therefore, it is best to be cautious about choosing a wife for Liu Yun. Of course, it is not bad if you don’t get married all the time. After all, Liu Yun is quite a talkative person.

The empress wanted to choose a new wife for Liu Yun, both Zhang Shi and Si Qi knew about it.

That day, Queen Xuanzhang and Si Qi entered the palace to talk, saying that they were going to marry Liu Yun and Zhang Luo.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang immediately became vigilant, because she had a very deep bond with the former emperor Liu Hong and the first queen mother Dong, and she was afraid that Liu Hong's son and daughter-in-law would play tricks on this matter and make trouble again.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said, Liu Yun has a very ordinary personality and is not a good husband. My first wife came from the Xun family in Yingchuan, so such a good lady was all pissed off by him. His Majesty's thoughts.

Si Qi felt that Zhang Shi was also a wonderful person, Liu Xie and the Empress did not trust him, but he was very rare for Yao Shi sent by Liu Biao.

From that day on, Mrs. Zhang was always worried, fearing that Liu Xie and Empress Fu would use power to suppress Liu Yun's marriage, and Liu Yun agreed to them out of shame.

Before she could figure out a way, Cao Cao settled the matter.

I really didn't expect such a good thing to happen in the world!

Mrs. Zhang was instantly moved by the actions of Cao Cao and his wife, and sighed to Mrs. Bian: Sikong is such a warm-hearted person!

Seeing Zhang's enthusiastic eyes, Bian felt guilty for no reason: "Yes, he...has always been like this."
