Chapter 292, The Shadow Falls, The Early Moon Is Cold, The Night Breeze In Xiangsheng's Courtyard

Chapter 292, the shadow falls and the first moon is cold, the evening breeze of Xiangsheng's courtyard is weak

Yang Yuhuan came from the prosperous Chang'an to Wuzhou, the ancient city of Jiangnan. At first, she was full of curiosity and expectation. She had vaguely heard of Zhengyi Zhenren's name. She was said to be the eldest son of Mei Xiaolang, the prime minister of the former dynasty. She refused to be the Duke of Southern Lu and entered the mountains to practice Taoism. She was a master with a connection with immortality. Even today's sons were very impressed. There was also a vague news between the Chang'an scholars and Princess Yuzhen and Zhengyi Zhenren's "scandal" between Princess Yuzhen and Zhengyi Zhenren, which made this person very mysterious and full of temptation.

Zhengyi Zhenren's daughter was "recruited", and Yang Yuhuan never dreamed that on the way to Wuzhou from Chang'an, she was looking forward to living a life like a princess and a life like a god. She has been proficient in singing and dancing since she was a child, and she yearned for both the legend of immortals and the enjoyment of luxury. However, Yang Xuanchen's family background and her own identity can only be dreams, but now, dreams will become a reality.

But when she arrived in Wuzhou, things unexpectedly happened, and reality and expectations were completely different. She was placed in a villa on the outskirts of the city. The servants here were very respectful to her, gentle and even with a hint of caution and at a loss. But a month passed, no one came to see her, let alone the favor of the immortals.

It is too unreasonable to be able to use gold and thousand taels to seek out oneself, but he doesn't even see him in person!

Yang Yuhuan herself was not aware that Mei Zhenyi brought her to Wuzhou for another purpose, not to seek any beauty, and she didn't even want to take her as a concubine. Since she had already arrived, it would be better to place her in the villa and not suffer any grievances. In Mei Zhenyi's eyes, fourteen-year-old Yang Yuhuan is still an ungrown child, although the ancients were precocious.

In this way, it would be difficult for the servants to deal with it. It would be neither respectful to Yang Yuhuan, nor to be the head of the family, nor to know what to do. Mei Sheng and others could not figure out the attitude of the eldest master Mei Zhenyi. Yang Yuhuan was already a member of Jingwu Villa. But she could not tell what her identity was.

Mei Sheng is difficult to deal with, and Mei Sheng's master Liu Hai is also difficult to deal with. He is the head disciple and should fulfill his order. Mei Zhenyi's instructions are "Getting up for good life, if you have a fairy fate, you will pass on the Tao." Resetting up is Mei Sheng's business, Xian Yuan is worried about Liu Hai. Liu Hai is very clear that Master cannot get such a woman for the sake of beauty, but he must have a purpose in asking for it, and he cannot guess it thoroughly.

So Liu Hai thought of a solution. He sent Jin Chan to Jingwu Villa and found an opportunity to contact Yang Yuhuan to see if this person has the qualifications to practice. If he has the talent, he will try to guide her to practice.

As soon as Jin Chan saw Yang Yuhuan, he immediately went back to the mountain to report something to Liu Hai. Liu Hai also went to Jingwu Villa to secretly look at Yang Yuhuan. He found that this person's origin was unusual and was secretly surprised. Liu Hai was a little confused and thought that his master had another way of fate. He wanted to ask but dared not ask more.

He didn't want to ask Mei Zhenyi, but he could ask a famous "Bao Talking" in the mountains, who was the chief manager of Qingyi Sanshan, and the guardian of Jiulian Mountain. Ti Liuzhuo has now become a local immortal. After returning from Qingcheng Mountain, she has been practicing in Chengshu Peak. Some days she has not inquired about it.

Liu Hai found an opportunity to ask, but Ti Liuzhuo was surprised. She didn't know about such a big thing!

Mr. Mei traveled thousands of taels of gold and came back from Chang'an. But he didn't tell her in advance. He immediately went to find Zhiyan, but Zhiyan said, "I know this matter. The fate is complicated. You don't need to ask more. What should I do? Just follow the rules."

Ti Liuzhuo went to find Gu'er again. It happened that Gu'er, Sui'er and Princess Yuzhen were both chatting in the backyard of Xiaozhuo. Ti Liuzhuo floated in and told the three of them about the big news about the day. Although Yu Zhen and the two wives were a little surprised, they did not take any major matters. They told Ti Liuzhuo that this kind of thing has been common since ancient times, but Zhenyi's writing was too big. It might be because of the fact that there was a fairy-family relationship with this woman. Even if there was no fairy-family relationship, it would not be a big deal for the Mei family to add a girl playing the piano.

Princess Yuzhen was open-minded, Gu'er and Sui'er didn't care. Besides, Mei Zhenyi and the lady of the Yang family had nothing to do. She had nothing to worry about. She walked around to Jingwu Villa in person to secretly observe who Yang Yuhuan was?

After seeing her with her own eyes, Ti Liuzhuo had an idea. Of course, she didn't know Yang Yuhuan in this life. But she vaguely guessed the origin of this woman's previous life. She had seen her in her previous life many years ago. At that time, Ti Liuzhuo felt that the relationship between the woman and Mei Zhenyi was a bit unusual, and her words seemed ambiguous. Could it be that she had made any promises in her previous life and was found after reincarnation?

And she looked at Yang Yuhuan with a slight feeling uncomfortable. The most important reason was that Yang Yuhuan was so beautiful!

According to the standards of modern people, Yang Yuhuan was relatively fat, and the Tang Dynasty regarded fat as beauty. Modern people were somewhat misunderstood about this aesthetic standard. The so-called beauty of the ground breasts and fat buttocks in the Tang Dynasty did not mean that it was completely bloated and obese, but a plump and graceful figure, which can be seen from the pictures of ladies and the sculptures of ladies at that time.

Yang Yuhuan is the ultimate beauty of plumpness. Even in today's society, she is still a beautiful beauty who is pitiful to others. Her face is delicate and her skin is extremely tender and greasy, and her charming appearance is far better than that of water lotus. When she saw Yang Yuhuan, her face, thin skin and sparse hair were standing beside Yuhuan, which further highlighted Yang Yuhuan's national beauty.

Not only did the man look straight when he saw this woman, but even the female ghost couldn't help but exclaim. The original body of the woman was a beautiful village girl, who was also pretty, but she felt a little ashamed in front of Yang Yuhuan.

This little ghost saw Yang Yuhuan with his own eyes and had an idea in his heart - was it because Mr. Mei was grateful for the fate of his previous life and saw that she was so beautiful in this life that she really had the idea of ​​making a relationship? If she became a Taoist partner or took it into a side room, she might not be able to stop her, but she could not just watch it. Things in the previous life cannot be investigated, but in this life, at least you have to understand the sufferings of the world. If you have a fairy fate, you will first see who she is.

Ti Liuliu came to Mei Sheng, the manager of Jingwu Villa, and instructed privately: "Ms. Yang is a charming guest in the villa, but Mr. Mei has a little bit of a desire to transform into immortality. How can she understand the way of cultivation by blindly nurturing her in the boudoir? Arrange her to do some affairs in the villa and experience the hardships of the world, otherwise it will be difficult for her to enter the door of cultivation."

Mei Sheng was a little confused and said in his heart that these words might not be said to Princess Yuzhen, but he could not say that. He frowned and asked for instructions: "What kind of villa business should Miss Yang do?"

Tsk: "There are many things in the villa. If she asks her family to do everything she does, she must look like she does."

Mei Sheng felt even more embarrassed when he heard this. Yang Yuhuan was a little beauty asked by the master's daughter. She had to do all the chores in the villa. If the master knew it, it would be hard to explain, so he hesitated and did not answer. Ti slipped around and saw his thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry. If Zhenyi blames the blame, I will take responsibility for it. Thinking about Gu'er and Suier's two wives in the villa, didn't they also handle the family affairs of the girl-red? Why couldn't Yang Yuhuan?"

Since Ti Liuzhuan said that, Mei Sheng had to do so. Now Yang Yuhuan felt depressed. Not only did he not see Zhengyi Zhenren when he came to Mei's house, but more than a month later, the housekeeper also sent people to find her. He told her to do all kinds of things, saying that it was the meaning of the head of the family, to clean the courtyard today and wash clothes tomorrow.

Although Yang Yuhuan is not a wealthy daughter, she is also a lady from an official family. She has never done these things since she was a child? But she has been in power after she arrived at the Mei Mansion. She is just a weak girl and has to be at the mercy of others. She often sighs and even can't figure it out at night. She can't figure out if the Mei Mansion's daughter brought her over to hire a girl in the family to do chores?

Fortunately, the servants did not make things difficult for her. The yard was not clean and the clothes were washed. No one had ever cared about it, nor did anyone supervise her. As long as she did it, it would be fine. There was a girl named Jin Chan in the villa. She looked ugly, but she often came to help Yang Yuhuan. Without the guidance and help of Jin Chan, Yang Yuhuan would not know what to do. In the past few months of living in Mei's house, she really learned a lot of things she didn't know before.

Gradually, she became accustomed to her, but she was inevitably lamenting and sighed endlessly late at night. Only when she was with Jin Chan, Yang Yuhuan smiled and got very close to her. Yang Yuhuan did not know Jin Chan's identity. She thought she was a high-ranking maid in the villa and was very willing to help her.

The real young master of Jingwu Villa is Mei Yingxing. He has seen Yang Yuhuan several times, but he still can't figure out what his father sells in his gourd? But his mother and several aunts told Xing'er not to pay attention to this matter. Xing'er usually either study in a private school, or goes to Baimang Mountain or sneaks back to Qingyi Sanshan to play. He only goes back to the villa to rest at night. Jingwu Villa is very large and can hardly see Yang Yuhuan, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.

People will succumb to the circumstances of life, gradually become accustomed to it, and even find fun. When Yang Yuhuan swept the yard, he will think of the singing and dancing he had learned, and often danced with brooms and leaves. The servants in the mansion were straightened by their eyes, but they knew that her identity was special, so they didn't dare to look directly at her.

Although Mei Sheng's arrangements made it difficult for Yang Yuhuan, Jingwu Villa is so big and there are so many servants, and there are always people who are vulgar and unsightly. For example, Azai, the wife of the Zhao family in the kitchen, has long disliked Yang Yuhuan, and the more you look at him, the more you hate him.

Lao Zhao, who is in charge of the kitchen, is the son of Zhao Qiming, the former manager of the villa. Sun Simiao rescued the baby from Ming Chongyan. Now he is in his fifties, he is considered an old-fashioned family. He is responsible for the fat and decent kitchen. The wife he married is the daughter of a local butcher family, and he is also a fat man. Although he is fat, he is not very beautiful. He has a very fierce face.

Azai relied on her husband's qualifications and high status among the Mei family servants, and was a little arrogant in front of the servants on weekdays. After Yang Yuhuan entered the Mei family, one day, Lao Zhao drank too much and said to his wife: "Look at why Miss Yang is so beautiful? You are also very plump, but you can't find that charming feeling? Go to the gouache shop tomorrow to buy some lead powder makeup, don't always look like this fierce look."

Azai became angry when he heard this. No matter how she threw a fan, she couldn't pretend to be Yang Yuhuan. She immediately hated the lady of the Yang family. She didn't dare to say anything at first, but later she gradually felt something was wrong. Yang Yuhuan was not a charming guest. She did everything in the villa like an ordinary servant.

This vulgar woman didn't understand the inside story, nor did she know what Mei Zhenyi wanted to do. She only said that this little girl offended the head of the family, or was disliked by the housewife, and had fallen out of favor, and now she is a maid. The unscrupulous men in the villa saw that the little girl was so beautiful that she even had a soft bone, so she couldn't bear to scold her, so how could she be so maid who worked like that?

Finally one day, Azai thought that Yang Yuhuan had fallen into his hands and could deal with her well. She said something first, and asked Yang Yuhuan to do all the chores in the villa. Two months later, it was the turn to feed the pigs, and the pigs in Jingwu Villa were usually fed by Azai.

How can pigs be raised in Jingwu Villa? Modern people may not understand the manors of rich people in ancient natural economic environments. There are many facilities and servants in it, so it is not surprising to raise pigs. Jingwu Villa usually slaughtered meat and transported it from outside. There are only a few pigs that he specially raised in the villa. Although the breeding is not as delicate as the "Poria carved pig" mentioned in "The Deer and the Cauldron", the land use skills are not much worse. It is specially used for medicinal food, and ordinary servants cannot eat the land at all.

The pigpen in Jingwu Mountain Villa is different from the ordinary pigpen. It is located in the villa's outer courtyard and is far from the main hall and the main courtyard. The environment and application equipment are clean and tidy, but it is a pigpen after all.

In fact, Yang Yuhuan feeds pigs just like it. Some servants have chopped the pig food and mixed it. The pigpen is cleaned very clean. Even the pigs have been washed. Yang Yuhuan just needs to pour the pig food into the snack trough and watch the pigs finish eating. But she has problems when she feeds the pigs on the first day.

On this day, Mei Sheng and several managers in the villa were not there. Mei Yingxing also sneaked into Baimang Mountain to play. The servants were somewhat lazy and hiding away. Yang Yuhuan took a pot of pig food from the cottage behind the kitchen and went to the pigpen.

Not long after, I heard the pig-slaughtered voice in the backyard, shouting and cursing: "You little slut, just a girl feeding pigs. I thought you were a daughter? Why did you run to the backyard to feed the pigs? I also threw the pig trough into the well. I clearly felt resentful and wanted all of us to drink! Honestly, what did you throw into the well?"

The servants were alarmed by Azai's loud voice and ran to the backyard to watch the fun. There was a well behind the east yard of Jingwu Villa. Usually, they used the water from the well to wash clothes and cook. This place is quite far from the pigpen. Why did Yang Yuhuan come here to feed pigs?

When he arrived at the well, Yang Yuhuan squatted on the ground tremblingly. Azai put his hands on his waist and pointed at her and cursed: "You can do such a cheap thing. If you don't teach a lesson, you're not going to make a big deal. Do you want to light a fire tomorrow?... Let's talk, why are you crying! This is not easy for me, I really have to give you a memory!"

Azai became more and more angry the more he cursed. He waved his hand and wanted to slap Yang Yuhuan in the face. However, as soon as his hand was raised, his pulse was tightened and someone grabbed him. His whole body was numb and he couldn't even say anything. The servants who were rushing to see the fun were all bowed and nodded and greeted, "Hello, Miss Jinchan."

Jin Chan held Azai's vein door and asked with a calm face: "What's going on? Why is this woman going crazy?"

Everyone replied, "We don't know either. Today, the manager told Miss Yuhuan to feed the pigs. The pig food was ready, the pig pen was washed, and even the pigs had taken a shower. However, I don't know why Miss Yuhuan ran here and threw the pig food trough into the well."

Jin Chan let go of Azai and helped Yang Yuhuan up and said, "What happened? How could you run here?"

Yang Yuhuan had never experienced these things before. She was both scared and aggrieved. She squatted on the ground with her shoulders and burst into tears. When she saw Jinchan, she was like seeing her relatives. She threw herself into her arms and said, "If you want me to feed the pig, I will feed the pigs. The pigs are all clean, but I saw that the pig's trough was a bit dirty and wanted to take it to the well to wash it. Azai yelled behind me, and my hand trembled and fell into the well. It was not intentional..."

So that's it. The servants wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Looking at Yang Yuhuan's face full of tears, she felt very pity for no reason. Not only did she feel that Azai was too much, but even the master treated this lady too much. How could he let this delicate beauty feed the pigs?

Jin Chan comforted, "So that's the case, and you can't blame me. My clothes are wet. I'll accompany you to change one." He turned his head and said with a cold face, saying, "Get this well quickly and get water from the well in the back garden these days. Azai, you will pick up all the water in the kitchen by yourself!"

When he arrived at the room to change his clothes, Yang Yuhuan was still very aggrieved and was full of gratitude to Jinchan. He said with red eyes: "Sister Jinchan, everyone here will listen to you. You should have a very high status at home. You should also know the affairs of the Mei family. What kind of family are they and how they do things so strangely?"

Jin Chan said the truth: "Before coming to Wuzhou, you may have heard that this is the secular mansion of immortals. To be honest, I am a guardian in the blessed land of the fairy mountain a hundred miles away. Someone specifically told me to take care of you and pass on your magic tricks for the immortal family to practice. As for the things in the villa, it may be a misunderstanding or it may be your geographical law, which I can't explain clearly."

Yang Yuhuan said in surprise: "There is such a thing. Did Zhenren Mei ask you to come?"

Jin Chan answered honestly: "I haven't seen Master Mei for a long time. It was Liu Hai, the eldest disciple of the head of Xianshan, who ordered me."

In the clouds above Jingwu Villa, three "people" stood in the evening breeze - Mei Zhenyi, slid around and bangs.
