Chapter 293 Listening Snow Pavilion
Wu Yuean was very angry that her wish failed, but with her wedding approaching, she had no time to care about other things and could only be patient and wait for the future to come.
Five days later, the fifth prince finally had his wedding.
It seemed as if Concubine Jing had really given up on her own son and turned her wholehearted attention to supporting the Fifth Prince.
She put all her heart and soul into organizing his wedding, and the wedding banquet was grand and luxurious, in no way inferior to the one when the Crown Prince married the Crown Princess.
Almost all the common people in the capital ran out to watch the fun. This was the prince's wedding, and the money the servants casually threw out might not be copper coins but silver coins!
All officials above the fifth rank and their families were invited to watch the ceremony, which naturally included the Shangguan family, but only Shangguan Chong attended as a formality.
In the words of Baili Nanqing:
"I'd rather comb Wuyun Chiyu's hair at home than join in the fun."
Nowadays, she loves the two cats raised by her youngest daughter very much and even makes exquisite and small clothes for them to wear.
When she heard that her youngest daughter was planning to adopt a stray cat, she took the initiative to take on the job. Now she is busy renovating the small yard for the cats.
As for Shangguan Qingyue, she was too lazy to care about these mundane matters and went straight into the glazed house in the backyard to take care of the flowers, plants and vegetables she planted.
Xiangxue was loosening the soil and weeding the vegetable fields skillfully, and couldn't help but sigh:
“This glazed house is a true paradise on earth. If every household in our village could build one, we could become rich just by selling vegetables.
Alas, what a pity..."
She naturally felt sorry that the glass was priceless and her idea was just a daydream.
Shangguan Qingyue reached out and wiped the sweat off her forehead with her arm, smiled brightly, and said:
"If every household had a glazed house, then the price of these vegetables would be worthless, because things are valuable because they are rare!
Besides, with the workshops and beautiful scenery in Xiangxue Village, the lives of the villagers will surely get better and better."
Xiangxue's eyes were slightly red, and she worked even harder. The once poor Dali Village could have the good situation it has today, all thanks to her young lady's tireless advice and suggestions.
The young lady is the lucky star of their entire village!
At noon, a large basket of fresh vegetables was sent to the kitchen by the servants. When they were fried into delicious dishes and served to the old lady and the old man's table, the two old people looked at each other in surprise.
The old lady couldn't help but ask the servants around her again:
"Were these vegetables really grown by the Second Miss?"
The maid replied respectfully:
"Madam, it is absolutely true. It is said that the second young lady built two glazed houses in her yard, one for growing vegetables and the other for growing flowers and plants.
Now the first batch of green vegetables have begun to be harvested, and even the second master's yard has sent a lot today."
The little maid looked at the green vegetables on the table and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. In this season, they, as servants, could eat meat every day, but vegetables were a luxury.
Even the ones that the family had bought at a high price in the past were not fresh anymore. These were picked directly from the vegetable garden and sent to the kitchen immediately!
The old lady picked up her chopsticks and took a few bites of food, chewing them slowly, and then said:
"That kid has a heart."
The old man nodded in agreement and sighed.
"We old couple do have some prejudice against her. Old lady, pick out some nice jewelry and clothes for the child later. The last time I saw her, she was dressed even more simply than the maids in the mansion!"
The old lady hesitated to speak, but finally nodded in agreement.
They men never care about women's dressing, so how can they tell that any piece of jewelry on their second granddaughter is actually worth a lot of money!
The third girl from the second room dressed up beautifully all day long, but in fact, she was just a show-off.
Shangguan Qingwan, who was being muttered by the old lady in her heart, was sighing at the table full of food. Mrs. Lu, who was sitting opposite her, was also not in a good mood. Only her youngest son kept his head down and ate the food happily.
While the nurse was serving him more food, he saw that his mother and sister looked listless, so he asked in confusion:
"Mother, Third Sister, why don't you have an appetite? The food tastes great. We haven't eaten such fresh and delicious vegetables for a long time. I really want to go to Second Sister's glass room after dinner to take a look."
Shangguan Qingwan's eyes lit up instantly when she heard this. She patted her younger brother's shoulder gently.
"Little brother, you really want to go to my second sister's yard, right? I'm curious too, how about we go there together after taking a nap?"
Although Shangguan Feng was young, he knew that his second sister did not like his third sister. However, his little head could not quite figure out the specific reason.
He tried hard to find a reason to refuse, and after a long pause he managed to utter:
"Third sister, Second sister doesn't like to be disturbed."
Shangguan Qingwan was so angry that she fell backwards. She grabbed her little brother's ear and asked:
"My second sister doesn't like to be disturbed, so why can you just go? You little brat, why are you so ungrateful!"
"Oh, mother, please come and save me, my third sister hit me so hard!"
Mrs. Lu slammed the chopsticks on the table and glared at the little girl, scaring her so much that her hands trembled. Shangguan Feng took the opportunity to escape from his sister's clutches.
He said somewhat provocatively:
"I am just a child, I am thick-skinned, my second sister will not have the heart to turn me away!"
After that, he continued to eat, looking like he hadn't eaten for three days. Seeing this, Lu felt depressed and a nameless anger welled up in her heart, but she had no place to vent it.
I was really annoyed, so I just got up and went back to the bedroom to rest.
As for the little guy Shangguan Feng, he rolled around excitedly in his little bed after dinner, thinking in his mind how he would pester his way into Pan Guiyuan.
And the fact proved that children have natural advantages. He just opened his big tearful eyes, pursed his lips and looked up at Shangguan Qingyue, and in less than half a minute, he made the other party raise his hands in surrender.
Shangguan Qingyue smiled dotingly as she watched the little radish head running into the yard and finding everything new.
Oh, I miss their little fairy boy a little. I wonder if the little guy is happy in Xinglin Academy.
Shangguan Feng finally ran to the glazed house. By this time, the sun had already set, and the orange sunlight enveloped the entire house, reflecting the glazed glass and looking very beautiful.
He turned to look at Shangguan Qingyue and asked excitedly:
"Second sister, has this glass house been given a name?"
Shangguan Qingyue was very proud when she mentioned this. She had thought of a very poetic name:
"Tingxue Pavilion."
The little guy obviously didn't understand what he meant. To him, this was clearly a crystal house, so how was it related to Tingxue?
Shangguan Qingyue tapped the little guy's nose and smiled mysteriously.
“When you come back when it snows, you will naturally understand the reason.
Now go play by yourselves, but remember not to trample on the flowers, plants, and vegetables, do you hear me?"
"Yeah!" The little guy nodded heavily, looking well-behaved and cute, very likable.
From beginning to end, Shangguan Feng's wet nurse followed the young master closely. Seeing this, Shangguan Qingyue did not send anyone to follow him.
Just then, a servant came to report that her two cousins had invited her to visit their mother's yard, so she packed up her things and left.
Shangguan Qingyue walked into the hall with a sweet smile, but saw that her two cousins looked depressed, lowering their heads and not saying a word. She couldn't help but feel nervous:
"But what happened to grandpa and grandma? Why do the two cousins look so serious?"
Baili Nanqing couldn't help but roll her eyes, annoyed at her two nephews' lack of ambition, and quickly explained:
"Don't panic, nothing happened. The New Year is almost here, and your two cousins will be going back tomorrow."
It turned out that he came to say goodbye.
Shangguan Qingyue felt a deep sense of loss and reluctance in her heart. Her two cousins had taken great care of her. It could even be said that they had made an indelible contribution to the smooth operation of Shuiyunjian.
Of course, she had long felt bad for keeping two young talents tied to a small shop in the capital for so long. Now, it was really time to say goodbye.
She choked up and said:
"Brothers, please come visit me often. Although I am reluctant to see you leave, all good things must come to an end."
The two brothers still had a last glimmer of hope, but after hearing the word "brother", everything was shattered. This girl clearly treated them as her own brothers!
Ugh……
Don’t people always say that cousins are the most imaginative? How come this girl is not smart at all?
Baili Jinlin spoke first:
"Of course I will come back. Your cousin and I plan to make a big splash after the New Year and make Shuiyunjian famous throughout the entire Da'an Kingdom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid rushed in and said anxiously:
"Madam, Miss, something's wrong. The Third Young Master was playing in Pangui Courtyard and for some reason he got a rash all over his body. Now he's unconscious!"
