[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

After seeing Xue Luo in Sijiao Hutong, within two days Xue Luo's greeting card was sent to Dong'an Prince's Mansion, Yanyu stared at the big red card on the red sandalwood case in a daze.

"I remember that you used to study with Mrs. Li Fourth in the Southern Academy, and you should be classmates with Third Grandma Li?" When Mu Yun saw Xue Luo's greeting card, she was puzzled by Yu Yanyu's expression.

"Yes. Sister Luo took good care of us at that time." Yanyu's eyes were fixed on the greeting card, and she said in a low voice after a long time, "I feel guilty! I lied to her once, I think she should have realized it by now, I'm afraid would think I'm not a good person."

Because she concealed a little bit, Mu Yun misunderstood Yan Yu's meaning: "Your girl's boudoir talk is just to make some jokes, it doesn't matter if you think about it."

Yan Yu was just silent, and Mu Yun came over again and said, "I remember that the day Miss Xue came out of the cabinet was the time when the plot of the Wen family was exposed. Later, Mrs. Xue married into the Li family in Jinling and became the third grandmother of Li. It's been four or five years."

When this matter was mentioned, Yanyu nodded: "Sister Luo is Mr. Jiang's closed disciple, and Mr. Jiang is also a matchmaker. He is the matchmaker for her and Mr. Li. Mr. Jiang likes Sister Luo very much, and the Qingzhan embroidery made by Sister Luo , can best get the true biography of Mr. Jiang."

"Yes. Mrs. Xue was brought up by Sister He Qing. When Sister He Qing was studying at the Gongzhong Academy, Mr. Jiang was the female teacher of the academy." After hearing her talk about Mrs. Jiang and Xue Luo, Mu Nun told her this. Middle leading edge.

Yanyu had heard some grievances before.

Xue Luo had an appointment with the grandson of Zhao's patriarch, and later the grandson of Zhao's patriarch passed away; Xue Luo was not implicated because he was the daughter of General Xue and the eldest princess, and had nothing to do with the Pingfeng Rebellion.However, some people rumored that Xue Luo ordered his husband to be tough, so that Xue Luo could no longer find a husband-in-law after his age. The son is actually a pretty good match.

The sweltering heat of the hot summer was blown away by the breeze of early autumn, and when Xue Luo came to the door, Yanyu was ready.

Xue Luo was dressed in a bamboo green dress, with only a jade hairpin on his temples. He had a desolate and elegant face, with a face like jade.

"Sister Luo is still as glamorous as before." Yan Yu's tone was very sincere, without any hint of falsehood.

Xue Luo caressed the jade hairpin, smiling like a spring: "Sister Yan is also so good at talking!"

Yanyu couldn't figure out Xue Luo's true meaning, so she just laughed with her and said, "It's my honor that Sister Lau Luo remembers us."

Xue Luo's eyes were stained with a smile, without the slightest hint of aggressiveness, but it made Yanyu feel that she treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"I remember that when I left Beijing, sister Yan was not yet old enough, but now she is married and a wife." Xue Luo said with a smile, and he couldn't help feeling a little emotional, "I heard that sister Yan became the bride of the young prince Mu. , but it surprised me."

Yanyu said meaningfully: "Perhaps this is fate!" Wei Dun said again, "I just don't know if Sister Luo believes in this theory of fate?"

Xue Luo smiled and said warmly: "The theory of fate has existed since ancient times, it just depends on whether you believe it or not."

They talked to each other with their own thoughts, only rambling about other things; Yanyu racked her brains to chat with Xue Luo, and Xue Luo smiled and talked about her joy in Jinling.

"The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and Sister Luo has been raised like a flower like a jade." Yanyu whispered.

"It's just that I heard that the capital city has not been very peaceful these years. It's a pity that I have never witnessed this storm with my own eyes." Xue Luo smiled gently, as if talking about the clear sky today.

Xue Luo happened to come out of the pavilion at the time when the Wen family plotted against him, and rushed all the way to Jinling, and the dust had already settled in the capital.

Yanyu was about to speak, but she was stunned when she heard Xue Luo's words, she said: "Sister Yan and Prince Mu are also destined to be together!"

Yanyu couldn't even pretend to be stunned, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Hello, my lord." But she saw a familiar corner passing by the carved window, but disappeared.

Fortunately, Xue Luo is not a person who seeks to make a living. Seeing that Yanyu didn't want to say more, he said something else: "Jinling is not peaceful recently, and sister Yan probably doesn't know yet." Yanyu listened carefully, and Xue Luo continued, "Then Zhen The family is well-known in Jinling, even if it is now in decline, it is a centipede that is dead but not stiff, and there are always people who are ready to move and have other plans." He paused here, then lowered his voice, "It is said that he still has some relationship with the Wen family. .”

I have heard Mu Yun mentioned before that the two families of Wen and Zhen were determined to collude with the public officials, and this was after the incident with the Second Lord Qi, Hou Qi of Jiangqi; It is not surprising that the Zhen family is from generation to generation.

Yanyu pretended not to know about it, as if she was very curious: "Sister Luo, what's the reason for this? I haven't heard of it yet."

"Many acts of unrighteousness will lead to death, and now someone is about to die." Xue Luo snorted coldly.

The Zhen family has many acts of injustice, but if they pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, and dig deeper, there will be more than one Zhen family who will be unlucky.

But Yanyu remembered that Mu Yun once said that the Zhen family did not want to be a stepping stone for the Wen family, and she preferred to believe that the Zhen family still wanted to be the fisherman who sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.

It's just that Xue Luo suddenly brought up this matter, which made Yanyu feel uneasy: "Most of the clans of the Wen family and the Zhen family have been exiled, and they are still tossing about? Thinking of it this way, the reason may not be simple."

"Do you still remember Zhen Yan?" Xue Luo asked back.

Xue Luo and Zhen Yan never got along with each other when they were in the South Campus Academy, and the grievances between them were no longer a secret.

Yanyu nodded: "Now she is the second grandma of Duke Shu's mansion!"

Zhen Yan is capable.After she came out of the cabinet, she restrained her eldest daughter's temperament, filial piety to her parents-in-law, her husband and her children, but now she is branded as a daughter of the Zhen family. Neither Duke Shu nor his wife can express their dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law; At this level, the women of Wen and Zhen are not as good as Zhen Yan.

"I've heard many rumors about how Duke Shan Guo's in-laws, Jiangqihou's Mansion, failed. You are in the capital and want to know better than me. The second master Qi, who was also gentle and elegant in the past, fell under Wen Jiuniang's pomegranate skirt, It was also so troublesome that the Jiangqihou Mansion was buried with them. I don't know Wen Jiuniang; but I am too familiar with Zhen Yan, and her scheming and methods are not comparable to ordinary women." Xue Luo mentioned Zhen Yan Yan Shi's tone became a little colder, and she did not hide her disgust.

Yanyu lowered her eyes and listened quietly, before she said, "I am not very familiar with Second Madam Ma. Since returning to Beijing with my parents, the chances of seeing Second Madam Ma over the years are very few."

She only remembered that Zhen Yan was an extremely proud woman, but they were indeed not familiar with her.

Xue Luo didn't care: "For people like Zhen Yan, if it's not a last resort, it's better to keep a respectful distance."

"Listen to Sister Luo, I understand." Yanyu nodded.

The two talked for a while, and Yanyu was about to instruct Yuebai to prepare a meal, Xue Luo got up and said goodbye, saying that there was something else at home and couldn't leave for the time being; after saying this, Yanyu couldn't stay longer, and finally sent her away Xue Luo, she let out a long sigh of relief.

In retrospect, it seems that Xue Luo didn't say anything, she remembered vaguely.

Mu Yun opened the door and came in, Yanyu came back to her senses and stared at him intently.

"Ms. Xue seems a bit strange." When Mu Cang spoke, Yanyu remembered: "You were listening to me just now?" Just now she seemed to see Mu Cang passing by the window, so it was not because she was blinded.

"I just happened to come back and heard that Mrs. Xue came to the door; I didn't come here, so I drank a cup of tea next to me, and happened to overhear what you said." Mu Yun said.

Yan Yu remembered what she had said just now, and Mu Yun had actually heard it, and her heart was a little complicated after all.

However, she did feel that what Xue Luo said was a bit strange: "Sister Luo, I thought..." This matter was a little different from what she thought, and Yanyu couldn't explain it, thinking, "I thought it was just It's commonplace, I didn't expect Sister Luo to suddenly talk about the court affairs."

People in the world are very harsh on women, and women are even more likely to be regarded as the hen master when they discuss politics. There are many constraints like this.

Xue Luo was very clear about the situation, as if she was supposed to understand this, instead of talking about it in a casual way.

Thinking back carefully, Yanyu felt more and more what Xue Luo meant, as if she deliberately wanted to tell her these things.

"Jinling?" Mu Ran murmured thoughtfully; the Mu family's ancestral home is also Jinling, so Mu Ran must have been touched.

It is unknown what the situation in Jinling is like, but it is true from what Xue Luo said.

Yanyu couldn't help but doubted: "Or maybe Sister Luo returned to Beijing this time, there are actually other reasons."

Mu Yun seemed to be awakened by a word in a dream, looked at Yanyu in surprise, and moved the corner of his lips after a long time: "You are right." He nodded, and seemed to feel more and more that there was such an incredible possibility, "In the past, I I have also had contact with Mrs. Xue, and Mrs. Xue has a bold personality, which is very different from now. You don’t have much contact with her, and I’m afraid you don’t know what she thinks.”

Hearing what he said, Yanyu felt that it was very appropriate.

Because of the court's grievances, Yan Yu didn't ask too much, only knowing that Mu Yun would find out the situation of Xue Luo and Zhen Yan.

After all, there used to be a seemingly innocent and harmless Wenmingyuan that could turn the capital upside down, no matter what happened to Zhen Yan.After all, Zhen Yan is the daughter of the Zhen family, even if she doesn't know anything about her father and brother, she is destined to be feared and suspected; now that the court is unstable, and Wen Wenming has been a lesson learned, no matter how cautious Zhen Yan is, she will be in danger every step of the way. Besides, there is still Xue Luo who firmly believes that Zhen Yan must be Wen Wenyuan's second, and is watching her covetously.

Until Shi Lang and Li Shu got married, Yanyu went to Bowlinghou's Mansion to have a wedding drink, and in this situation, when she saw Xue Luo who came to see her off, she had no chance to ask her more questions.

Mrs. Zhongjinghou's Mrs. Fang still did not come out, and only asked Daiyu to come over to help. Mrs. Baolinghou was also very happy.

Seeing Daiyu busying herself in a clear and orderly manner, Yanyu was suddenly filled with emotion; Yu'er had grown up before she knew it, and she was also the head of the house after getting married.
