Royal Uncle (9)
On this day, Duan Qingen had a very pleasant conversation with Mr. Wan.
Even Mr. Wan himself did not expect that since he was a child, he had never talked about his close friends who did not want to stop at night. However, at a very old age, he would actually talk to King Yao like this.
There is still a slight age gap between the two, but it is as if they were destined in the previous life. No matter what he says, King Yao can pick up his topic and continue the conversation happily.
It was a happy dinner for Mr. Wan, but the women of the Wan family were a little shaken by the news of "The arrival of King Yao".
The old lady had seen the world, and the situation at home was such that there was no reason for Prince Yao to come to visit, so she became a little more vigilant and carefully sent her maid to inform the girl and the boy in the mansion, Mrs. Wan, to let them all stay in her yard. Don't go out and walk around casually.
The old lady felt relieved after Master Wan sent someone to tell her that King Yao just liked his paintings and came to visit.
"Even if nothing happens, I still have to tell the three girls not to walk around at will. It will be bad if they bump into His Highness Prince Yao."
The richer the family, the more attention is paid to a woman's reputation. It's okay for a married girl, because she has a husband, so she doesn't have to be so cautious when walking around. But if an unmarried girl bumps into her husband, isn't she beautiful? .
Mrs. Wan was older and a wife, so she didn't need to be so shy. After hearing what the old lady said, she turned around excitedly and went to her daughter's room.
Wan Siyuan was lying on the bed with a white face and her body stretched out.
It was not because he was scared or worried about Duan Qingen's arrival, but because the bowl of coptis soup he had eaten before was too bitter.
Even after such a long time, she still felt nauseous in her stomach. She felt so sick as soon as she returned to her room that she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't think of anything else.
Mrs. Wan opened the curtain and came in to see her daughter like this. She quickly sat on the bed with a distressed look on her face: "Yuan'er, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly?"
Wan Siyuan was feeling uncomfortable now, and it made her feel annoyed to hear her asking for help.
Ask her what she does, but she can't tell.
She closed her eyes and waved her hands, saying nothing.
Mrs. Wan looked at her daughter's face with distress, and when she looked at the waiting girl beside her, the love on her face immediately turned into anger:
"What's going on? How do you serve the girl? Why doesn't the girl go to me when she's sick?"
The Wan family was not a wealthy family, and Wan Siyuan only had this one girl who was close to her, and the rest did not follow her, so Mrs. Wan almost immediately thought of questioning her.
The girl was sent to the kitchen by Wan Siyuan before and didn't know anything. When she saw Madam punishing her, she was so frightened that she knelt down quickly: "The girl was fine in the morning. At that time, she said she wanted to drink chicken stew soup. She chose chicken and stewed chicken. The slave watched with her own eyes. When the slave came back, the girl behaved like this. The slave asked the doctor but the girl refused. Then, then..."
"The girl said she wouldn't invite a doctor, so you really didn't?" Mrs. Wan didn't listen to her explanation: "If the girl has any bad intentions, I will definitely hold you accountable!"
Madam Wan has always had prestige in the house, relying on her thunderous methods against the servants. This girl had been beaten before, and now she was so frightened that she trembled all over and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Yes, I am wrong. Madam, please calm down."
Seeing her admitting her mistake, Mrs. Wan was still angry: "Go down and get ten boards by yourself. You are really a bitch. It's obvious that you didn't take good care of the girl, and you dared to put all the blame on the master."
The girl's body was shaking more and more violently, but she had signed the contract of betrayal, and knowing Mrs. Wan's nature, she did not dare to beg for mercy. She could only wipe her tears and try to hold back her sobs before leaving.
Wan Siyuan, who was lying on the bed, kept listening to their conversation. When the girl went out, she turned over with an annoyed face.
It was so noisy that no one in the palace dared to disturb her when she was sleeping in her previous life.
Mrs. Wan: "Yuan'er, mother will call a doctor for you soon."
Wan Siyuan's face turned ugly: "I don't want to see a doctor."
She felt so uncomfortable after eating coptis decoction. When the doctor came to see, how could she explain it?
After all, there is only one big kitchen in the house, and everything ordered in each courtyard is recorded. The doctor said she drank Coptis chinensis soup, how could she explain it.
Seeing that Mrs. Wan wanted to continue talking, Wan Siyuan frowned: "Mom, stop fussing. I'll just lie down for a while. If you're okay, go back first. I want to be alone for a while."
Her attitude towards her mother was a bit rude, which made Mrs. Wan feel a little uncomfortable, but after all, she was her own daughter, so she could still try to understand it as much as possible. In addition, she suppressed her discomfort because of what she wanted to say. Put a smile on your face.
"I have something to do."
"Yuan'er, mother told you, Prince Yao came to our house because he was interested in the paintings painted by your father. I have asked people to inquire about it. His Highness Prince Yao and your father had a very happy conversation in the study. Now they have Ordered food and drinks.”
Wan Siyuan was full of Coptis chinensis soup, and what she couldn't hear the most now was the word "Yao Wang". After hearing this, she lay back on the pillow with an annoyed look on her face: "So what."
With a smile on her face, Mrs. Wan patted the quilt covering her daughter: "You! Why don't you think about it carefully? His Royal Highness Prince Yao doesn't have a princess yet! You see, he and your father have such a good relationship, they will definitely be together in the future. Come visit us at our house, if you meet him by chance a few times and develop feelings for him. "
The more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became. Madam Wan's smile grew wider: "Maybe, I will have a princess daughter."
Wan Siyuan was currently focused on telling Duan Qingen not to propose marriage for the time being. Unexpectedly, before the front door was ready, the back door caught fire first.
It was hard for her to directly say, "I was reborn in my previous life and I was Princess Yao and I don't want to do it again in this life." She thought for a few seconds and said:
"Mom, I think you have to think about it carefully. It's true that Prince Yao is a prince, but he is just your Majesty's uncle and has no real power. Besides, even if he has real power, he is a useless person who is not good at what he does. You Do you want me to marry and remain a widow? "
Mrs. Wan was stunned and quickly reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about! Can you say such things? That's the prince!"
She quickly stood up and took a look, and saw that mother and daughter were the only two people in the room. She felt relieved and sat down to continue scolding: "I think I am really too arrogant to indulge you. I have spoiled you like this. Your Majesty is also yours." Can you tell me? Do you know that if your words were heard and spread, your father, your brother, and our whole family would be affected!"
Wan Siyuan sneered in her heart.
The reason why the whole family is affected is because of greed for life and fear of death.
Duan Qingen is a cripple. There is nothing to say about this. Even if he can get up and walk later, if his legs are not healed, they are not healed. She is right to say so now.
Madam Wan naturally doesn't understand why her daughter is so confident, just like Wan Siyuan doesn't understand that her confidence comes from her status as Princess Yao in her previous life, but in this life she is just the daughter of a fifth-grade official.
She was still trying to persuade her daughter: "The imperial doctor's diagnosis at the beginning also said that it will not harm the heirs. If you become the princess, our Wan family will be able to prosper, and you will also be prosperous and wealthy in the future."
Wan Siyuan: "Don't worry about it anyway."
She wanted glory and wealth, but she didn't want it from Duan Qingen.
She doesn't like an idle prince.
What she is interested in is the high-ranking Ninth Five-Year Plan, the position of imperial concubine.
While the mother and daughter were talking, Wan Siqing, the only remaining daughter of the second room, was sitting at the table doing embroidery.
Wan Sihe, the eldest daughter-in-law, opened the curtain and walked in. Seeing her embroidering, she smiled and said, "What is the third sister doing?"
Wan Si was sixteen years old. Her appearance was similar to that of her mother. She was very handsome even for her age, and her personality was similar to that of her father. She was a very quiet person. When she heard the noise, she put down her needlework and stood up to salute:
"Second sister."
"Get up quickly, you and I, sisters, are still doing these false rituals."
Wan Sihe smiled softly and knelt down on the mat next to Wan Siqing. When he saw that the embroidery in her hand was a Buddhist scripture, his expression paused, "Is this embroidery for mother?"
Wan Siqing smiled lightly at her and picked up the needle and thread again; "Auntie has been going to the temple more and more recently, so I will embroider more."
Seeing her evasive answer, Wan Sihe sighed and did not say anything clearly. He only comforted: "It's almost time. We are almost the same age. We will be fine when we get married."
Wan Siqing is a relatively quiet person. Sometimes she can spend a whole day alone in the house with a book, but Wan Sihe can't. She always feels bored in her yard, so she tries to find Wan Sihe. Qing, the legitimate daughter of the second wife, did not expect Wan Siqing to dislike her for being just a concubine. Although the two did not have a deep friendship, they occasionally chatted with each other and talked about things, which was a comfort to each other.
Yes, comfort.
It was only after Wan Sihe got closer to Wan Siqing that she discovered that although she was the legitimate daughter of her second wife, her father was very concerned about the blood left by her brother. The old lady was always taking care of her, and her mother was always calling her She went to her yard, but her life was actually miserable.
The father did really love Wan Siqing, his niece, but he was a man and had always ignored the affairs of the family. He only saw the instructions his mother gave Wan Siqing, and felt that Wan Siqing was taken care of.
I also felt that my mother always asked Wan Siqing to talk to her because of the close relationship between the two.
But actually.
Every time Wan Siqing went to talk to Mrs. Wan, she had to start immersing herself in needlework when she came back, because Mrs. Wan liked to go to the temple to burn scriptures. She always said that the embroidered scriptures were better. On the surface, she was caring and caring, but in reality Let Wan Siqing embroider scriptures.
If Wan Sihe hadn't come looking for her, she probably wouldn't have been discovered.
What could Wan Siqing do if she didn't write it? She was an orphan. If she didn't write it, Mrs. Wan wouldn't dare do anything to her, but her nanny's contract of sale was still in the house.
Seeing that Wan Siqing just lowered his head and said nothing, Wan Sihe sighed:
"Third sister, I came to find you because of His Highness Prince Yao."
She nervously grasped the handkerchief in her hand and asked softly: "Third sister, have you ever thought about getting married early and escaping from the sea of misery?"
