Outside the gate of the Moon Cave, the slender maids in fresh clothes with double buns huddled together and looked inside curiously. In Laojun Yu's room, at this moment, he was also well-dressed and full of splendor.
"Your Majesty the King of Yingchuan, I am in a state of anxiety. Please forgive me if there is any lack of manners." Mr. Yu rarely changed into the clothes for meeting guests. Her hair is gray and white, mottled and dark, her face is full of ravines, and deep splayed lines are carved on the corners of her eyes and around her mouth. It can be seen that this person was very strong when she was young, and even when she was old, she would not let go completely and do everything. No matter, the old man who is only responsible for Sun Nongyi every day.
Old Master Yu is the great-grandmother of this generation of young people. Even the head of the Yu family has to call her grandmother, which shows the high level of seniority. Mr. Yu's age is already invincible in this era. In the clan society where old people are respected, not only no one in the Yu family dares to contradict Mr. Yu, even King Yingchuan from the capital and the third prince today, Gaoping County should also pay a respectful visit to Mr. Yu.
Of course, Murong Xu refused to say that he didn't dare to say that Old Lord Yu said, "The old king is in the same family for four generations, he is highly respected, and his descendants are around his knees. He is a man of great blessing and virtue. This king has always respected virtuous people. This time he can It is enough to see the old lucky star with my own eyes. What's more, the Yu family has been orderly and well-mannered along the way, and the details can be seen everywhere. Why is there such a lack of etiquette? This old gentleman is too modest."
Old Master Yu laughed out loud at these words, the creases on her face were squeezed deeper, and half of her eyes were covered when she smiled. However, laughing did not make Mr. Yu appear more approachable, on the contrary, it showed a kind of self-satisfaction of being pampered and in a high position for a long time. Obviously, looking at the expression of Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu is also polite. She is very proud of her family and does not feel that she What is not thoughtful about the home.
Old Lord Yu was very satisfied with King Yingchuan's conduct, but he never thought that the current emperor is notoriously unreliable, but his third son is quite humble and polite. The dignified prince was as humble as a gentleman in front of him, and Laojun Yu felt at ease, and he became much more casual when he spoke afterwards.
"The old man is getting old, and his legs and feet are inconvenient. He has not been to Yecheng for many years. I wonder if the queen's body is safe?"
Empress Jiang is Murong Xu's aunt, and this Empress Jiang's behavior...is not very suitable for the identity of the mother of a country. Murong Xu sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still said eagerly like a filial son: "Mother is in good health. The old gentleman still misses his mother's health in Yanzhou. Such enthusiasm is really touching."
Old Master Yu also followed suit and declined. It is impossible that everyone here has not heard of those absurd things in the palace, but at this moment, everyone is concerned about the Queen's body, and there is no abnormality in the slightest. Murong Xu and Old Master Yu sat at the head of each other and greeted each other, while Yu Qingya held a fire beside her and cooked tea gracefully. Yu Qingya knelt on the bamboo mat, gently added water, ordered tea, and skimmed the foam. She added water three times, and skimmed the tea foam off the stove three times before slowly picking up the teapot and pouring tea.
Her hand for pouring tea has a graceful posture, with her little finger slightly raised, looking as pleasing to the eye as a flying bird. Murong Xu accompanied Old Master Yu to talk about those car wheels, which was boring in the first place, and he caught a glimpse of Yu Qingya's movements out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help turning his head to look at it a few times.
Sensing Murong Xu's movements, Old Master Yu smiled knowingly: "This is Laoshen's great-granddaughter, who is fourth in rank and called Si Niang. I am getting old, and I can't sleep well when the seasons change. Thanks to her coming to accompany me every day. I am joking. Si Niang, hurry up and meet King Yingchuan."
Yu Qingya seemed to be concentrating on it, completely immersed in the world of making tea, but when she heard what Old Master Yu said, she immediately put down the teapot, and Ping Ping came over to bow to Murong Xu: "My little girl pays homage to King Yingchuan."
When Yu Qingya bowed down, she inadvertently twisted her waist, immediately showing a willow-like figure. She just wanted to say hello, obviously it couldn't be simpler, but it just happened to show the advantages of her figure, as if it had been calculated perfectly. Murong Xu was originally not interested in this kind of beauties with quiet temperament, but when Yu Qingya came to say hello, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Murong Xu secretly wondered, she had seen this woman on the night when Yu's house was searched, could it be that it was because it was too dark last time that she couldn't see clearly, why does it feel like they are completely two people now?
Seeing King Yingchuan's eyes fixed on him, Laojun Yu was very proud, and there was a trace of contempt in addition to his pride. Sure enough, men all over the world are like this, even the prince is not much better than ordinary men, why don't they fix their eyes when they see their fourth wife?
After Yu Qingya paid her respects, she brought the tea again, and placed it in front of Old Master Yu and Murong Xu, then stepped aside and knelt quietly behind Old Master Yu. Every move forward, every step back, is all elegant and beautiful.
After Yu Qingya sat down, Murong Xu couldn't hide his surprise, and couldn't help but glance in her direction. Yu Qingya was sitting behind Old Master Yu, just facing Murong Xu, it was much easier for Murong Xu to see her now, and also, it was much more obvious.
Old Master Yu smiled pointedly, while Yu Qingya kept her head slightly lowered as if she couldn't feel the gaze of others. Since the arrival of King Yingchuan, Mr. Yu's place has become lively very quickly. From time to time, his wife "coincidentally" came to say hello. But when people came and went, Murong Xu just glanced at the other ladies, only Yu Qingya could sit on one side and cook tea for the old gentleman and the distinguished guests, and now she had King Yingchuan's own eyes.
After putting away the melons and fruits, the maids in the house quietly retreated and stood by the door, not disturbing the master's conversation, but also responding to the master's summons at any time. A few little maids with low rules couldn't help but whispered to their ears: "Miss Si is really good, she can do everything. I have never heard that Miss Si has learned how to cook tea before. I didn't expect that when she started today, her posture was worse than that of a dedicated tea lady." Proficient. No wonder the old gentleman likes the fourth lady the most among all the ladies, even King Yingchuan couldn't help but take a peek."
The little maids whispered to each other, while in the room, Yu Qingya sat on the couch with her head down, feeling the eyes from all directions on her, feeling proud and awkward at the same time.
"System, the tea cooking is over, can you give me back the control of my body now?"
"After the host status is released, this function will be cooled for two hours. Any accidents during this period will be borne by the host, and the female supporting system will not be responsible."
"Okay, let's get rid of it quickly."
The feeling of feeling but not being able to control the limbs dissipated like an ebb. Yu Qingya endured the stiffness and endured this uncomfortable and weird handover process. She experienced this feeling not long ago, when she followed the system's advice, moved a tea set from her own room, and offered to serve tea to Lao Jun. She actually knew that Murong Xu was there before she came, but she pretended not to know. After entering the door, it was impossible for her to go back with the tea set, so she stayed logically. Wang showed off his talent and demeanor. In comparison, the excuses found by the other young ladies of the Yu family were very thin. When the ladies came in and saw Yu Qingya cooking tea herself, they suddenly realized that this was still possible. While they were stunned, they were all itchy.
Yu Qingya is very proud of this, but the only problem is that she doesn't know how to cook tea.
Tea was not popular at first. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the six arts of a gentleman have been emphasized. The tea ceremony is only a very partial skill. It was only in the past few years that Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, and those in power in the Southern and Northern Dynasties vigorously promoted Buddhism, and tea gradually spread. The gentry are the most easy to compare, and tea quickly spread among the gentry, and drinking tea and cooking tea are the most elegant. However, due to the short period of tea popularization and the geographical reasons of the Northern Dynasties, tea ceremony was not common in the Northern Dynasties, and those who could cook tea kept their skills hidden and did not pass them on to the outside world.
Yu Qingya, like most ladies from aristocratic families, does not know this sophisticated skill. Just as Yu Qingya uttered her worries, the system sympathetically proposed a method, that is, Yu Qingya authorizes the system to manipulate Yu Qingya's body to complete the whole set of tea-making actions. The tea ceremony is still in the groping stage, but in the era of the system, tea has developed into a specialized art, and moving it back to ancient times will definitely amaze everyone.
To give up control of her body... Yu Qingya undoubtedly hesitated, but thinking of the effect the system said, she gritted her teeth and agreed.
At that time, Yu Qingya felt that it was nothing more than being immobile for a while, so she regarded it as a nightmare. But when she really experienced the feeling of being deprived of control over her body, Yu Qingya was so frightened that she couldn't control herself for a moment, almost thinking that the system would never give it back to her.
Fortunately, she was just a false alarm. Yu Qingya breathed a sigh of relief, and moved her fingers invisibly. Feeling that her limbs were back under her control, Yu Qingya's heart slowly returned to her stomach. The control of the machine is of course extremely subtle, and the effect of cooking tea is better than Yu Qingya imagined, but Yu Qingya still feels lingering fear when she thinks of the feeling of being powerless while watching. She secretly made up her mind to only do it this time, and never entrust it to the system again in the future.
On the other hand, Murong Xu developed a little interest in Yu Qingya. That night, Yu Qingya ran over to stop him in the middle of the night. Although she was nominally here to protect her sister, Murong Xu grew up in the palace and was used to seeing concubines competing for power and jealousy. How could he be deceived by such a small trick. Murong Xu didn't pay attention to this woman who appeared halfway, Yu Qingya's appearance followed Li's, with regular features and a flat face, more than delicate and dignified, but there was still a distance from beauty. Not to mention that Murong Xu is used to seeing all kinds of beauties, even if he only sees their own family every day, his vision gradually becomes picky. But when I saw her today, when Yu Qingya was cooking tea, she had an indescribable feeling that she was completely different from that day, and this contrast made Murong Xu very interested.
Yu Qingya was overjoyed when she felt Murong Xu's eyes fixed on her. Relying on her status in her previous life, and under the influence of the Li family, she always put on airs of the eldest daughter of the eldest son, and she couldn't get along with her sisters, let alone attract the opposite sex. But now, the third prince showed her probing eyes.
Yu Qingya restrained her excitement, bowed gracefully and saluted, and said with downcast eyes: "That day my daughter was reckless and ran into King Yingchuan. My daughter's words were inappropriate in a hurry, and I feel very guilty in retrospect. If my daughter accidentally offended the prince, please The king of Yingchuan condemned him."
Old Master Yu let out a gasp in surprise, obviously not aware of this. She thought this was the first time King Yingchuan saw Yu Qingya, but did they know each other a long time ago?
Murong Xu smiled and waved his hands, and said: "No problem. The Japanese king was on official business and chased all the way to Yu's house, disturbing the rest of Laojun and Yu's husband and ladies. Speaking of which, it is my fault. "
Murongxu's massive search that day undoubtedly caused complaints from everyone, but who made him the prince? Now that the king of Yingchuan came to the door to make amends in person, Mr. Yu was very moved by the reason why he accepted it as soon as he was happy, so he said: "The king of Yingchuan is too polite. , since we are on official business, we should cooperate. If the king of Yingchuan has any requirements, you can tell me in advance, and I can arrange it, so that the descendants will not know and delay the time instead."
Murong Xu said: "That day the king was in a hurry to do business and had to bother the Yu family. Please, on behalf of the king, I would like to convey my apology to all the wives and ladies."
Yu Laojun finally heard this sentence, and after a few excuses, he agreed. At this time, Murong Xu and Old Master Yu each took a step back, and this matter is over. Murong Xu rolled his eyes and found that there were many ladies inside and outside Mr. Yu's house, some were standing and chatting with the maids on the porch, or they were sitting in another room playing chess, it was very lively. However, Murong Xu noticed from the moment he entered the door that he didn't see the little beauty.
Murong Xu felt regretful, although he had been chattering with Laojun for so long, but in fact the real purpose of his trip was to see Yu Meiren. Unexpectedly, my sisters and sisters watched a bunch, but there was no little beauty.
Murong Xu vaguely reminded: "That night, my subordinates ran into Liu Niangzi in the house for no reason. I don't know if Liu Niangzi is here, but I want to face her and make amends."
Yu Qingya was communicating with the system in her heart, and her face froze when she heard this. She deliberately asked someone to stop Yu Qingjia, because she was afraid that Yu Qingjia would attract the attention of these princes. However, she has already achieved this level, why does King Yingchuan still remember Yu Qingjia? And also know that Yu Qingjia is the sixth mother of Fuzhong?
Old Lord Yu was also uncomfortable. King Yingchuan was vague and perfunctory when he apologized to the Yu family just now, but now that Yu Qingjia was mentioned, why did he suddenly become enthusiastic?
Old Master Yu couldn't help but calm down, and said: "She has always been lazy, and now she is probably playing around somewhere again. Si Niang, do you know where your younger sister is?"
Yu Qingya rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "What Laojun said, although the sixth sister loves to play, how could she neglect to greet Laojun because of playing. Wait a moment, Laojun, I will go outside and ask the maid."
Yu Qingya stood up and walked out, there was something in Yu Qingya's mind that she didn't pay attention to, and Murong Xu let out a "huh" in her heart.
Murong Xu is used to Fengyue, and he is extremely familiar with the posture of the woman's waist. With his eyes, he can tell that everything on Yu Qingya's body is just right, as if the charm of calculating every movement is gone. Murong Xu couldn't figure it out, what was going on? The sky is bright and the sun is bright, he can't be mistaken, can he?
Yu Qingya went outside, and the maids were cautiously accompanied when they saw the Fourth Miss coming out, fearful and ingratiating. Yu Qingya was overjoyed when she saw Yin Ping in the crowd, and quickly called her over.
Yin Ping compared herself with her fingers in disbelief, seeing Yu Qingya nodding, she stepped forward flattered. The maidservants made way for her, and Yin Ping felt the envious and jealous eyes of others, and straightened her waist even more.
"Four ladies."
Yu Qingya was not interested in chatting with Yin Ping, so she asked straight to the point: "Where's your lady?"
"Weaving nets in the room." Yin Ping felt a little guilty, "Si Niangzi, is there something wrong?"
A smile appeared on Yu Qingya's mouth, and she said, "Yes, that's good. You follow me to see Laojun, and in front of Laojun, you also tell the truth, just say that Liumei is shy and unwilling to come out to meet people, and only hides in herself. Working as a maid in the house."
The silver bottle should go down. After arriving in the room, after Yin Ping finished speaking according to Yu Qingya's instructions, Murong Xu couldn't help showing a look of regret on his face.
Mr. Yu was also dissatisfied, he was petty, he couldn't show courtesy when the guests came, and instead hid in his room and became a female celebrity. Of course, it cannot be said that there is nothing wrong with being a female celebrity, but doing things like this is completely unpopular.
Yu Qingya lowered her eyes to hide the smile in her eyes. In her previous life, she was delayed by the four virtues of women. She really felt that women should stay in the house every day, take care of the housework and manage the rear house. As for playing the piano and playing chess with your husband, and even going out riding a horse as a woman, it is really disrespectful. Yu Qingya put on airs and looked down on common people, singers and dancers, and women from aristocratic families who "behaved badly", so she put on airs all the way to marry. The husband's family in the previous life originally proposed marriage to Yu Qingjia, but later the old monarch made the decision and gave it to her. Yu Qingya not only despised her husband and was blind, but also felt that if she could marry a noble wife like herself, she would be suitable for her husband to please. Own. It's a pity that no one in her husband's family is as partial to her as her mother's family. After marriage, Yu Qingya didn't get close to her husband and son-in-law a few times. The long boudoir life smoothed her heart, but it also made her more extreme and sharp.
Yu Qingya felt inferior and conceited like this, until she was reborn with a system that claimed to be from the future in her mind, and Yu Qingya woke up from this dazed state. Yu Qingya lowered her head to hide the cold light in her eyes. In this life, she wanted Yu Qingjia to taste her previous life.
When Murong Xu heard that Yu Qingjia was becoming a female celebrity, he sighed inwardly. Seeing Murong Xu's expression, a smile appeared on Yu Qingya's mouth, and she quickly covered it up. King Yingchuan must be extremely disappointed with Yu Qingjia now. He must think that Yu Qingjia is a vulgar woman who is not on the stage, and he has no interest in it ever since. But in fact, Murong Xu was thinking, so Xiaomei's popularity has not faded.
Prejudice prejudice, only a person whose position is crooked at the beginning will hate another person even more because of a few words.
Yu Meiren didn't want to come to see him, Murong Xu was very bored and didn't want to sit down any longer. He said: "It's getting late, so I won't bother Laojun anymore. I am very sorry for what happened last time. After three days, I will make a special trip to hold a banquet for all the ladies to make amends. At that time, ladies, please be sure Appreciate the face, it's all the king's heart."
Invited by King Yingchuan? The ladies inside and outside the house were all excited. King Yingchuan just came to Yanzhou. Two days ago, he couldn’t make a fuss because of the assassins. Now that he is free, he finally has time to hold a banquet. arrival. King Yingchuan's first banquet, if you think about it, you know how lively it will be when celebrities from aristocratic families and young talents gather together.
At this time, the folk customs are open, and it is a matter of course for men and women to have banquets together, and the young girls' minds are immediately activated. Mr. Yu would never refuse such a matter of expanding his family's reputation. She smiled and agreed for the juniors.
Not long after Murong Xu left, the little ladies also bid farewell to Mr. Yu. Yu Qingya has successfully demonstrated her talent, and now that King Yingchuan is gone, she will naturally not stay with Laojun.
When Yu Qingya went out, she looked meaningfully at Yu Qingjia's yard. She rolled her eyes, and saw that the second-bedroom maid whose name she didn't even remember was still following her with eager eyes. Yu Qingya thought for a while, and called Yin Ping over.
At this time, in the courtyard of the second room, Yu Qingjia was still lying on Murong Yan's table, sleeping soundly.
Murong Yan has no interest in the book in his hand, his original book was kept under the sleeve by Yu Qingjia. Murong Yan stretched out his hand to hold the scroll, as long as he exerted a little force, he could pull it out. Murong Yan's eyes suddenly fell on Yu Qingjia's side face for some reason, Yu Qingjia breathed evenly, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slept peacefully and harmlessly. She is a girl, how much trust does she have to have in order to sleep so peacefully?
Murong Yan's gaze rested on Yu Qingjia's eyelashes for a moment, and finally withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened. Forget it, anyway, you can't do anything during the recovery period, just read these pedantic words to pass the time.
Murong Yan turned the pages of the book quietly, when suddenly there was the sound of thumping footsteps outside the door, he frowned, and immediately reached out to protect Yu Qingjia's ears. Then the door was pushed open, and the silver bottle yelled loudly, regardless of what was going on inside: "Miss, you..."
Now Yin Ping is floating while walking, and when she returned to the courtyard of the second room, she was so complacent that she couldn't even control the strength in her hands. After she pushed open the door, she saw the reclusive but inexplicably dreadful Jing Ji looked up at her, her eyes were cold and sharp without hiding it. Yin Ping's heart skipped a beat, the remaining half of the words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak anymore.
However, Yu Qingjia had already been awakened by such a sound, her eyelashes moved, and she got up from the table in a daze: "What's wrong?"
Murong Yan once again glanced at Yin Ping with eyes like looking at a dead person. Only then did Yu Qingjia realize that she had fallen asleep. She moved her neck, and suddenly found that Murong Yan's hand was on the side of her head.
Yu Qingjia stepped back vigilantly, her gaze moved between Murong Yan and his hand: "What do you want to do?"
I really can't blame Yu Qingjia for thinking too much, she still remembers that when she fell asleep in the cave, Murong Yan pinched her nose to wake her up forcibly. Yu Qingjia is still looking suspiciously at Murong Yan, but Murong Yan withdrew his hand, his black jade-like eyes stopped on the side of Yu Qingjia's face, and turned away lightly, with the same light and disdainful tone: "Your face is creased by the book gone."
What does he want to do? He just moved his fingers.
