On the lampstand, a red candle burns silently.

A candle engraves a dragon, and a candle engraves a phoenix, which is called auspiciousness brought by the dragon and the phoenix. The double candles are thicker than the arms and about three feet high, which can be used until nine days after the wedding, implying the meaning of eternal life.

The room shone brightly, and it was eerily quiet.

Ye Ping clearly saw her appearance in Wen Yu's pupils, as if she was about to be swallowed up by an endless vortex. She trembled in the vicissitudes of life, but she didn't feel afraid.

After a long time, the wind dispersed and the clouds rested.

The whirlpool returned to calm, sinking like ink.

Wen Yu just sat down, and the whole person with long arms and long legs seemed to be lying on top of her, holding her tightly in his arms. The perfect chin rests on her hair, and the cold breath is everywhere.

"Do you want to go back?"

think.

No matter how nice it is here, but there are too many rules, she doesn't like it.

Ye Ping didn't speak, she didn't know how to answer.

Wen Yu's slender hands ran down her hair and slid down to her neck, and her cool fingers rubbed her skin, causing her heart to palpitate and panic for a while.

"If you die, can you go back?"

Ye Ping's eyes widened, secretly praising him as the world's number one criminal justice, his thinking is different from ordinary people, unexpectedly he would think of this. So what does he mean by that? Do you suspect that the eldest princess has gone back, or do you want to fulfill her?

She doesn't want to die!

"...I don't want to go back, I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to stay with the king in this life, and accompany the king to see the beautiful scenery of the four seasons, the flowers bloom and fall. If possible, I want to meet the king in the next life. In the next life too."

"Yeah?"

With the dangerous aura approaching, Ye Ping was really scared now.

The man in front of him is not a kid who is easy to fool. This man has lived two lifetimes. He has never seen any kind of turmoil or heard of any strange things. He has naturally seen all kinds of people and seen through countless conspiracies and schemes. She had no doubts about this man's means, nor his cruelty. Recently, his tolerance for her gave her too many illusions, and she even mistakenly thought that she could play tricks in front of him.

"I don't know what I think about the county king. Does the county king not understand? I don't want to die, and I dare not die. I am afraid that I will never see the county king again. Even if I go back after death, I don't want to die." Before I got married, my grandmother and mother told me... If I want to secure my position as the princess of the county, I must dare to give birth to a son. But I am afraid... I am afraid that I will have a difficult childbirth... I am afraid that my fate with the prince is too shallow. In my heart, Except for the county king, nothing else is important. In this life, I only hope that I can never be separated from the county king Baishou."

As soon as the words fell, she felt the threatening fingers on her neck go up, grabbing her chin, forcing her to raise her head and get closer. The warm lips immediately covered, tossing and turning like fighting on the battlefield.

Spring is born in a room, and the candlelight is bright.

So you can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day. On the first day of the junior high school, it was quiet, and on the fifteenth day, it would have to be repaid twice.

After a night of wind and rain, my whole body fell apart when I woke up, and there was no one around me. She lay motionless like a corpse, and the skeleton appeared inexplicably in her mind, as if she could see her own bones being forcibly pieced together.

The **** surnamed Wen is simply not human!

When Sanxi waited for her to change her clothes, she blushed and laughed secretly, as if she had been nourished by so much rain and dew, and she still had to be grateful to the one who caused it.

"Princess Princess, do you want your slaves to start preparing the clothes for the young master?"

Ye Ping gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words.

"Need not."

don't you need it?

Sanxi was puzzled, shouldn't those things be prepared earlier? Why doesn't the princess of the county seem very happy? Is it because you don't want to have children?

Ye Ping endured and endured, if she didn't explain, the fat girl would make up a lot of things. In case something happens again, she has to come forward to end it.

"I still want to spend more time with the county king. If I have a child too early, I'm afraid it will be distracting."

It turned out to be like this.

Sanxi suddenly realized.

It's really touching that my girl is so infatuated.

"Why are you crying?" Ye Ping was puzzled, and the girl wiped away her tears.

Sanxi twitched and answered, "Concubine Princess, I am so touched by this maidservant. You are so infatuated with the Prince, God must have moved you to marry him..."

Ye Ping wanted to roll her eyes, what's the good of marrying Wen Yu. What's the use of being good-looking, going to bed is like being tortured, almost killing her. And his temperament is cloudy and uncertain, making people elusive.

Before that, she was secretly happy that she could hold the bright moon in her arms, but now she realizes that the reason why the bright moon is far away in the sky and out of reach, there is a certain reason. Once it really falls into the arms, it will be cold and hot for a while, and only you know whether it is warm or cold.

She supported her waist and said weakly: "Don't be moved, quickly come and help me."

The mistress of a mansion, no one said when she fell asleep, but what should be done must not be left behind. Ye Ping ate porridge and side dishes, rested for a while, and then prepared to go to the Duke's mansion.

When she arrived at Qixintang, Mrs. Wen had just read a Buddhist scripture and was sitting upright turning the beads in her hand. The beads have already been pulped, and the color should be many years old. The hand with the beads is well maintained, and the age spots are not visible.

Nanny Tian signaled her not to disturb her, so she stood quietly aside.

A quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Wen finally opened her eyes. As soon as she looked up, she saw Ye Ping's eyes were full of fascination, and she looked envious, and she was very satisfied and at ease.

"Grandmother is so graceful, granddaughter-in-law is almost dumbfounded."

Mrs. Wen became more and more complacent. With her status, she was naturally graceful. This Ye family is not pleasant, and his background is not good, but his speech is still somewhat pleasant.

She winked at Nanny Tian, ​​and Nanny Tian began to speak at length. It's all about the appearance and behavior of women from aristocratic families, with a strict and serious look.

Ye Ping knew that there would be these things waiting for her. If she really lived according to these rules and regulations, she would be dignified, and she would definitely live more and more.

Having money and having the power to do whatever you want is not because you want to live a more wanton life. If the status is higher, but put yourself in a cage, what's the point?

She lost her mind frequently, which made Mrs. Wen unhappy.

"Grandmother, don't blame her. My granddaughter-in-law has been thinking that grandma has taken such good care of herself. If she changes into crimson or vermilion clothes, her complexion will be better."

Mrs. Wen is wearing black and blue bat pattern embroidered trousers today. The material is expensive, but the color is quite old-fashioned. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't worn brightly colored clothes for many years. She still remembered that when she was young, the old man praised her for looking best in red. Her skin is fair, and the red is especially against her skin. Over the years, her eldest daughter-in-law has taken care of all her food and clothing. In recent years, not to mention the true red that was preferred in the early years, even ocher is rarely seen.

Wang said that dark green is the most stable, black and blue is the most important, and it is the most suitable for her identity, she has always believed it. Suddenly hearing Ye Shi's words, she felt as if she had forgotten a lot.

Seeing her in a daze, Ye Ping's heart moved slightly.

"Grandmother's blessing is exactly what should be seen by the world. Redness nourishes people, not only to show the complexion, but also to show the profound blessing of the grandmother."

Nanny Tian frowned, "Princess Princess, the old lady has always regulated her clothes, how can she mess around?"

"What regulation? Who stipulates that older women must dress poorly, who knows that if the heart is young, the beauty will always be there. Even if the sunset is short, it can fill half the sky with red. Grandma is the old lady of the Duke's Mansion, the most should be Let the world look up to its brilliance, why do you need to be gloomy every day, and those who don't know it should think that the day is unsatisfactory."

"As soon as the old madam responds, they are all the best in the mansion. How can people feel unsatisfied?"

"Me." Ye Ping's voice was crisp and not slow. "After I got married, I met my grandmother twice. The last time my grandmother was dressed in deep black, she was already unwell, and her complexion became worse. Fortunately, my grandmother was born white and could suppress the color. If I were someone else, I'm afraid I would be misunderstood. I thought that I would not have much time to be seriously ill."

The older Mrs. Wen is, the more she can't hear the words that time is running out. If it wasn't for Ye Ping referring to someone else and saying that she has fair skin, she would definitely be angry.

"Okay, some trivial matters, why are you arguing?"

Ye Ping had regrets in her eyes, as if she was talking to herself. "I just look uncomfortable. If I can look young like my grandmother in the future, I will not dress myself so old-fashioned. Not to mention wearing red and green every day, it must be decent and luxurious, Make the world envious and amazed.”

Her voice was not loud, but it was enough for Mrs. Wen to hear.

When Mrs. Wen was young, she was very pinch-able. She wanted to live a high life, and her prosperity and wealth were enviable. Since when did she only focus on being dignified and leave everything else behind?

"Grandmother, why don't you tell your granddaughter-in-law what kind of clothes were popular in Beijing when you were young?" Ye Ping changed the subject abruptly, but it aroused the interest of Mrs. Wen.

Mrs. Wen is from a good family background and married well, and she knows all about the styles of clothes that were popular in Beijing when she was young. From wearing a flowery cloud brocade skirt to the floor, to a wide-sleeved pleated skirt, from prosperous soft smoke to golden silk brocade, the more she talked, the happier she was.

Ye Ping asked questions from time to time, and poured tea and water for her at the right time, creating an atmosphere of grandparents and grandchildren.

Nanny Tian was dumbfounded, didn't the old lady confess that the county king must memorize those rules today, why did she change her mind? She pretended to cough a few times to remind her, but Mrs. Wen gave her a few displeased glances when she got excited about it.

Time passed, and an hour passed without knowing it.

It was a quarter of the clock when Ye Ping came, and it is almost noon now. Ordinary people usually have two meals a day, but most wealthy households eat three or even four meals a day.

Around noon, it was Mrs. Wen's lunch time.

Mrs. Wen was having a good time talking today, and the eyes she looked at Ye Ping softened a little, so she naturally put on a show and asked Ye Ping to have dinner with her. Ye Ping's face was full of joy, looking forward to it.

Such behavior made Mrs. Wen feel comfortable and disdainful. I thought in my heart that it was from a small family, but after all, I still couldn't make it to the stage.

While Ye Ping was looking forward to it, she looked a little apprehensive. "...Grandmother loves her, and granddaughter-in-law is really happy. It's just that granddaughter-in-law has a strong taste and is not used to light meals. Maybe it will affect grandma's appetite."

She had already calculated the time, and expected that the old lady would not keep her for dinner. So she thought that no matter how hard the old lady made things difficult for her, she would just make jokes and leave at most one hour.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what she said, Mrs. Wen did not let her go, but raised her chin and said: "What kind of family is our Duke's mansion, if you want to eat strong dishes, let the cook cook it , Where did these awkward things come from, it doesn't have to make people feel petty."

Ye Ping let out a "huh" in her heart, did this mean she sincerely wanted to keep her for dinner? Could it be that he behaved so well today that Mrs. Wen looked at him differently?

If she knew this, she should restrain herself.

While thinking about it, Mrs. Wen asked casually, "Is there anything you want to eat, let the kitchen prepare it."

That being the case, how could Ye Ping be polite.

"My daughter-in-law has a strong taste and a thick mouth. She likes local dishes such as fish with pickled cabbage, pork in a pot, and spicy chicken."

Mrs. Wen swallowed invisibly, and said, "You tell the kitchen what to do, and let them make it for you."

After Ye Ping explained how to do it, Madam Tian went to the kitchen to make arrangements with a worried face.

The cooks of the Duke's Mansion are superb in cooking, and these three dishes are not bad at all after they are cooked. The hot and sour aroma wafts in the room, which makes people appetite.

The dishes were divided into two. In front of Ye Ping, besides these three dishes, there was also a bamboo fungus soup. Each of the six dishes placed in front of Mrs. Wen was very light.

Nanny Tian served Mrs. Wen vegetables, first fish, then bean curd rolls with three shreds. The steamed fish was the same fish as the pickled fish in front of Ye Ping, but their appearance and color were quite different.

Mrs. Wen picked up her chopsticks, and took a mouthful of food like chewing wax.

Seeing her move her chopsticks, Ye Ping started immediately.

The cook in the Duke's Mansion is extraordinary, and the taste of several dishes is even better than Aunt Zhong's. After everyone tasted the food, Ye Ping changed to clean chopsticks and served Mrs. Wen some food in a symbolic way.

"Prince Princess, the old lady's diet is light..."

Ye Ping's hand fell in the air, neither up nor down.

Just when she was about to withdraw, she heard Mrs. Wen say: "Brother Yu's daughter-in-law is filial to me, how can I break the filial piety of the younger generation."

Ye Ping let go of her chopsticks, and the pot-packed meat landed firmly in the bowl in front of Mrs. Wen.

Mrs. Wen had a straight face, picking up the pot of meat with disgust. Then, under Tian's worried eyes, she put it into her mouth with a look of embarrassment, and finished eating dignifiedly and gracefully.

Ye Ping showed her filial piety, and buried her head in her meal with peace of mind.

Nanny Tian continued serving dishes to Mrs. Wen, but Mrs. Wen kept staring at Ye Ping and the dishes in front of Ye Ping. The meat in the pot just now was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour, but unfortunately it was too little. The sauerkraut fish dish in front of Mrs. Ye made people salivate, and they didn't know what it smelled like. There is also the spicy chicken, which is very attractive in color, it must be delicious.

I think back when she was still a girl in her natal family, she was also a person with a strong taste. After getting married, in order to show elegance and decentness, the diet has become light and exquisite. After the loss of a husband, it is even more necessary to cultivate one's morality and one's character, and one should not place too much emphasis on food and drink. As we get older, we have to maintain the dignity of the elders, and have the eldest daughter-in-law to take care of the body, and it is even more difficult to do whatever we want.

Maybe it's because her gaze is really salivating, it's hard for Ye Ping not to notice.

Ye Ping secretly thought, so this old lady is also delicious.

"Grandmother, the crispy rice meat just now is still delicious, do you want some more?"

Mrs. Wen couldn't hold back her face, so she gave her a sideways look. She was amused in her heart, and in a very serious manner, she picked up a chopsticks pot of meat for Mrs. Wen, as well as pickled fish and spicy chicken.

Nanny Tian frowned, and gave Ye Ping a rather unkind look.

Ye Ping's hands holding the chopsticks trembled, as if she wanted to pick up the vegetables. "Grandma, can't you eat more of these? It's all my granddaughter-in-law's fault, and I didn't ask clearly."

"You are so filial, don't be an example."

"yes."

If Mrs. Wen hadn't moved her chopsticks impatiently, Ye Ping would have believed that she was reluctant. This old lady is not afraid of spicy food. I'm afraid she used to be able to eat spicy food.

While eating, Mrs. Wen came suddenly.

Seeing that Mrs. Wen was actually eating spicy chicken, she was so frightened that she told the doctor and ordered someone to cook Xiaoshi soup. Although Ye Ping didn't say a word, the reproachful eyes were clear.

After the doctor read it, he prescribed a prescription and told him to pay attention to it in the future.

Mrs. Wen had lingering fear on her face, "Mother, you have a weak spleen and stomach. Next time, you must not force yourself to embarrass yourself in order to save the face of the younger generation."

Mrs. Wen originally enjoyed her meal, but she was inexplicably annoyed by such a torment. For the first time in her life, she felt that the eldest daughter-in-law was troublesome.

She kept silent with a sullen face, and Mrs. Wen felt a "thump."

"Pingniang, you don't dare to do this next time. Grandma must not make any mistakes in her diet. Fortunately, I came in time today, otherwise your grandma will eat all those dishes, and her stomach will definitely be uncomfortable."

"My niece and daughter-in-law remembered it."

"You didn't know before, so I can't blame you for this matter. Auntie knows that you are a sensible child, and you will think and ask more about everything in the future, so don't make such mistakes again."

"Yes." Ye Ping accepted the instruction humbly, not to mention how well-behaved she was. "My niece and daughter-in-law didn't think too much about it. I just thought about the unique taste of these dishes and wanted my grandmother to taste them. Grandma is the old lady of the Duke's mansion, and she is at the age of caring for her. She should do everything according to her own wishes. The beauty of the mountains and rivers in the world cannot be seen all over, but the delicacies in this world can be eaten in the mansion without traveling thousands of miles. It shouldn't be a serious problem. Maybe my niece and daughter-in-law wanted to go wrong, and my aunt taught me the lesson."

Mrs. Wen was disturbed, and the boss was unhappy, and her face became more and more gloomy. Ye Ping's words spoke to her heart, she is the old lady of the Duke's mansion, can't she even eat one more bite as she likes?

Immediately, she showed displeasure and took a look at Mrs. Wen.

Mrs. Wen said worriedly: "Mother, my daughter-in-law hopes that you will live a long life. Compared with your body, other things can be put aside."

When Mrs. Wen heard this, her face looked better. The eldest daughter-in-law was also thinking about her body, and blamed Ye Shi for being ignorant and pinching her too much.

Ye Ping could see that, this old lady was not only difficult to serve, but also had soft ears. No wonder she was coaxed by Mrs. Wen all these years.

"It turns out that to live a hundred years is to give up all your hobbies. You can't wear brocade clothes, you can't eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and you can only watch but not move, and leave everything to others?"

When Mrs. Wen first heard this, it was like a thunderclap. Since her husband passed away, she has become more and more pure. Up to now, the color of the upper body is either dark green or black blue, and there is no bright color at all. In terms of food, it is also advisable to be light. You can't eat big meat or seafood. Less oil and less salt will make it tasteless. The splendor and wealth of a mansion, she really can only watch but not move these years. After she dies, who will take over everything?

It's Mrs. Wang!

This discovery surprised her inexplicably.

Suddenly she thought of something more, all these years Wang didn't let her do this or that, saying it was for her health, did she plan to inherit all her property after her death?

Her eyes changed suddenly, and she glared fiercely at Mrs. Wen.
