Chapter 14 The Prince of the Marquisate who died in the battle is back 7
No. 11 left and there was no one else in the room. Xiao Yun sat on the embroidery stool bored and looked at herself carefully in the bronze mirror on the dressing table.
Well, she had a round, fair oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a small cherry mouth. She was a standard ancient beauty, much better than her own sharp looks. She liked her.
It's just that the clothes she's wearing are a bit plain. This look is more suitable for brighter colors, such as bright red, and her hair accessories are also suitable for the luxurious style of the Tang Dynasty.
I understand. We are still in mourning. We definitely cannot wear bright red clothes. It will be fine in a few days.
"Miss, here are the pens, ink, paper and inkstone."
At this time, Hongling came back with the four treasures of the study. She put the tray on the table by the window and started preparing without Xiao Yun's instructions.
Spread the cut rice paper flat, press it with a paperweight, and then start grinding the ink.
Looking at the smooth movements, even though Xiao Yun had the memories of his original body, he still had to sigh. It was really comfortable to have well-trained servants serving him. He didn't have to worry about anything at all.
She briefly recalled the original owner's handwriting in her mind. Well, fortunately, it was hairpin flower small regular script, which she knew how to write.
Even though she was somewhat poor in her previous lives, after all, she had learned magic in her first life and could read. In addition, with the original owner's physical memory, there should be no need to worry about handwriting, and writing a letter should be no problem.
However, to be on the safe side, after Hongling had ground the ink, she first wrote a short poem on a blank piece of rice paper. When she found that the font was no different from the original memory, she began to write the letter with confidence.
Xiao Yun did not write everything directly in the letter. Instead, she greeted the elders from her maternal family one by one, and then complained about her grievances. After all, she had been wronged by so many things since she married into the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion.
There are some things she can't tell her stepmother or stepfather, but she can tell her aunt and grandmother.
Although the letter was said to be delivered to her uncle, she was a woman after all, and a married woman. The most likely person to see the letter first would be her grandmother or aunt, so these are what was written at the beginning.
Afterwards, she also mentioned some things vaguely. After all, although the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion was becoming increasingly impoverished, there were still three pounds of nails in a broken ship, so it was normal to have some sources of information.
Although she was originally a girl, she was born into a family of military generals after all, and her maternal grandfather also made his fortune through military achievements. So even if she was not favored, she learned some riding and archery skills since she was a child.
He was also taught by the female teacher about the overall situation. After all, the power of a woman in charge of the backyard should not be underestimated. If she cannot make things clear, she may bring disaster to the entire family.
Therefore, in a wealthy family, even if a girl is not favored, even if she is a concubine's daughter, she will not be ruined directly or taught a wrong way as written in some melodramatic novels.
Although this world is indeed derived from a novel, it has become a small world where the characters are all vivid and have their own thoughts.
Even though many characters do not appear in the novel, they all have their own life trajectories, and their thoughts and practices will naturally fit the times.
All the unusual things are probably only around the male and female protagonists. As long as they are away from the influence of the halo of the male and female protagonists, everyone else is normal.
So don't underestimate the girls in the boudoir and the ladies in the rear house. Xiao Yun wrote like this. Even if the letter will not be seen by her uncle and grandfather, her grandmother or aunt will pay more attention to it if she sees it.
Even if she whispers something in someone's ear, the original story line might be distorted, which is also her purpose.
After writing the letter, he placed it on the table for a while, waited for the words to dry, then put it into an envelope, sealed it with wax, and gave it to Hongling, asking her to go to the second gate and give it to Liuzi.
After doing all this, she felt a little sleepy again. Her body was really not that good. Although she had learned horse riding and archery since she was a child, she did not practice it every day. She could only go riding a horse and hunting occasionally, but not for a long time, otherwise she would not be able to bear it.
She could directly take the pills in her own space to make her body immune to all poisons or extremely strong, but now is not the time.
She had just tried it. There was no spiritual energy here, so she couldn't practice. Besides, she had just entered this body and was still in the process of adjusting. What if the medicine she used was too strong and damaged or broke down this body? Wouldn't she be expelled directly? She had to proceed step by step.
When Luhe came back, she was already having dinner. Since she was sick, she ate in her own room, which was quiet and comfortable.
Apart from other things, the chef at the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion is really talented. Even a few light dishes are very delicious, which made her almost want to stay a little longer.
However, after Lu He told her that the top-quality medicinal materials in the warehouse had been replaced with inferior ones, she gave up the idea.
He looked at the sky outside the window. It was only four or five o'clock, so it was still early. He stood up and said to the two of them, "Let's go over and take a look."
Hongling quickly took out a cloak and put it on Xiao Yun. It was early spring now, and there was a cold snap. Plus, she had already caught a cold, so she had to wear more clothes.
This huge marquisate is divided into several courtyards. The Ci'an Courtyard of the old marquis and his wife is on the left side of the main courtyard, that is, the east side. In ancient times, the left and the east were respected, so the old marquis' wife's courtyard is there.
The Marquis of Pingxi and his wife lived in the main courtyard in the middle, which was called Zheng'an Courtyard.
The courtyard where Xiao Yun lives is on the right side of the main courtyard, that is, on the west side. Further west is the courtyard where Chu Hongwen and his wife live.
This courtyard is called Tai'an Courtyard, and Chu Hongwen's is called Yong'an Courtyard. Anyway, both of them have the word "an" in the middle. They were named by the old marquis back then. The implication is that he hopes that Zhongyun Kingdom will have long-term stability and that Pingxi Marquis' Mansion will also be safe and sound. This can be considered a beautiful wish.
Each courtyard has three entrances, divided into the front yard, the middle yard and the back yard. The back yard is where the hostess lives. The front yard is the living room, where guests are received. The study and the warehouse are in the middle yard, which is a relatively important location. There are people in front and behind, and there are also people guarding it, so it is the safest.
Xiao Yun and the two maids walked through the winding corridor for nearly a quarter of an hour before arriving at the door of the warehouse in the middle courtyard.
In fact, the straight-line distance from the backyard to the middle courtyard is not far, but the ancients liked to create landscapes in the courtyard, and corridors rarely went straight, so it took some more time.
