Chapter 546 Shuttlecock (two chapters in one)(1/2)

In the next ten days, Yan Xuehuai was waiting for news. The palace life she had long been looking forward to was not as exciting as she imagined.

The queen appreciates paintings today and holds a poetry meeting tomorrow. Later, she wants to evaluate calligraphy. In short, she changes ways to let the ladies perform their talents.

As for Princess Duan and Princess Rui who are not talented, they are just decorations, and they are only responsible for their beauty.

Within a few days, the little gambling god Zou Meien couldn't sit still. What kind of talent is Miss Zou's talent is playing cards!

The queen finally couldn't resist her only granddaughter and called the ladies over again, and then did not let Princess Duan and Princess Rui come over again.

But the princess was not so lucky. She exchanged her daughter for two cards.

Princess Duan, Princess Rui, and the little girl Meien, plus the Hongrui beside Princess Duan, four people gathered together to form a table.

Hong Rui was originally the eldest maid of Princess Duan. She was very skilled. She followed Princess Duan to the battlefield and betrothed to a confidant of Princess Duan, but she still stayed with Princess Duan on duty.

After playing cards for a few days in a row, Zou Meien was the only winner, Yan Xuehuai finally lost the most, and Hongrui lost was also considered Princess Duan, so Princess Duan was the big loser.

Princess Duan felt that she could no longer let Zou Meien continue playing cards. It would be bad for a child to be obsessed with this all day long.

So when playing cards, Princess Duan suggested to use fists to loosen her muscles and bones. Zou Meien was a child's character, so she immediately applauded and praised her well.

Yan Xuehuai then realized that Princess Duan had already prepared, and she and Hongrui both brought short-drawings that she wore when practicing martial arts, and also had big swords and wooden ones.

Princess Duan practiced a set of sword techniques. Princess Duan recovered well after giving birth to her daughter. The big knife was powerful in her hands, and Yan Xuehuai couldn't help but cheer.

Hongrui also jumped into the venue and performed a fight with her. This was the first time Yan Xuehuai saw Princess Duan show his martial arts skills. She was very impressed and admired Princess Duan a little more.

Princess Duan and Hongrui finished their performance, Zou Meien blinked her starry eyes and looked at Yan Xuehuai: "My aunt, it's your turn."

Yan Xuehuai almost choked by the tea in her mouth: "I? I don't know."

She has never learned Chinese martial arts, she practices free beating, how can she perform this trick?

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said to Zou Meien: "Do you have shuttlecocks?"

Zou Meien is a little girl. The maid around her is not old and soon found a shuttlecock. Yan Xuehuai also took advantage of this to borrow a short piece from Princess Duan to change it.

With apricot yellow satin clothes and a big red silk scarf tied around her waist, Yan Xuehuai felt that if she tied a hero knot on her head, she would be able to rob the rich and help the poor and become a heroine.

Yan Xuehuai performed shuttlecock kicking. The toes, roots, knees, and shuttlecocks were like they grew on her body, jumping around constantly. When they flew high enough, Yan Xuehuai twisted her body, and then her right leg bounced in the air, her toes jumped over her head, and her left leg fell steadily to the ground, and the key was like a leisurely butterfly on her right leg.

Zou Meien was stunned and clapped hard. Yan Xuehuai's right leg raised again, and the shuttlecock flew up. As he was about to fall to the ground, Yan Xuehuai's horse was about to fall to the ground, and the shuttlecock fell on her toes. This time, even Princess Duan shouted. Yan Xuehuai's toes rolled, and the shuttlecock flew up in the air again. Yan Xuehuai's long legs drew a circle in the air. As soon as they fell to the ground, everyone's eyes blurred, and her body leaned back, with her palms on the ground, and her body was like an arch bridge. The keys fell to her lower abdomen. The colorful feathers spread out, like a blooming flower.

Yan Xuehuai just wanted to have fun like Princess Duan and loosen her muscles by the way, but unexpectedly, she kicked the shuttlecock a few times, which caused a sensation in the entire palace.

The older ladies pretended not to know, and the ladies did not see it with their own eyes. Except for Lu Si and Wu Jiu, others believed that Zou Meien was exaggerating. After all, Princess Rui acted obediently and charming in front of outsiders.

The queen doesn't care either. As long as the daughters-in-law don't jump up and down to kick shuttlecock when they are pregnant, the queen won't care.

However, in his heart, the queen added another standard for selecting daughter-in-law of Princess Zhuang, to be strong and healthy.

Yan Xuehuai stopped when he saw that he was ready. Miss Lu Si and Miss Wu Jiu pestered her. She only kicked a few simple moves. Let them imagine the rest.

At this moment, news finally came back to the capital.

Agate went to the Yang family's ancestral home, and only after arriving, I realized that something happened to the Yang family again.

After Yang Suyun was sent back to Xiaoyangzhuang, she was calm for a month or two and studied and practiced calligraphy and needlework every day. Several aunts were very satisfied with her performance and could not help but talk about it privately: "Is she obviously a lady from a wealthy family, why was she sent to the Hui tribe? Her stepmother's death really has something to do with her? Could it be that someone was wronged?"

The Yang family in Xiaoyangzhuang is of the same clan as the Yang family in the capital. The Yang family's ancestral tomb is in Xiaoyangzhuang.

Xiao Yangzhuang is the Yang family, and the second old lady is the highest-ranking one.

When the second old lady was a child, she studied with her father and read a book and was very knowledgeable. She was not an ordinary old lady in the countryside.

The aunts said this to the second old lady. The second old lady thought about it and asked someone to bring Yang Suyun who was locked in the house temple. Yang Suyun acted neither humble nor arrogant in front of the second old lady, and was gentle and strong, leaving a good impression on the old lady.

Xiao Yangzhuang is more than 200 miles away from the capital. When the old members of the Yang family in the capital were in a hurry to send Yang Suyun back, they only said that if Yang Suyun was not allowed to die, and Master Yang would not have sued him. They did not go into detail. The people in Xiao Yangzhuang would not know the trouble Yang Suyun caused to the Yang family.

The second old lady thought about it and asked Yang Suyun to move out of the house temple. Of course, she would not raise her for nothing and let the girls in her church read and read.

After all, under the same conditions, girls who have read books often get better than those who have not read books.

The second old lady was for the sake of the family who had a daughter in the clan, and everyone agreed.

At first, Yang Suyun taught very seriously. She cherished the hard-earned freedom now, for fear of being sent home again.

But in just half a month, Yang Xin, who was doing business outside, returned to the village.

This Yang Xin is the brother-in-law of Mr. Du, Shi Feng and the younger brother of Mr. Yang.

The Yang family has a very thin family, but Yang Xin is smart and clever. In recent years, he has gained a lot of benefits by making a contribution to others.

Originally, Yang Xin looked down on Master Yang, who was in a poor family, and had never had the desire to make friends. Later, he learned that the Wu and Yang families were getting married, so Yang Xin came to the door. He was very good at giving gifts, and the gifts were all liked by young women. After all, the one he really wanted to make friends was Wu's family, not Master Yang.

After a while, Yang Suyun recognized this clan brother.

Although Shi Feng was thousands of miles apart and the news about Shi Feng had not reached the capital for a while, Yang Xin knew clearly that Wu and Yang's families had retired from marriage and Yang Suyun was sent to the Hui tribe.

He rarely returns to Xiaoyangzhuang, and this time he comes specifically for Yang Suyun.

He knew who Yang Suyun was. Although Master Yang was in jail, the young master of the Yang family was still young and could not prevent Yang Suyun at all.

Moreover, he also found out clearly that most of the money paid by the Yang family was raised by the clan, but the Yang family's own money was not lost much.

The Yang family’s money and good things are all in Yang Suyun’s hands.

Besides, in order to climb to the Wu family, Yang Xin gave Yang Suyun a lot of money and jewelry. Now Yang Suyun has no hope, and he has to take back the things he has given out.

Yang Xin guessed correctly. Yang Suyun did have made arrangements long ago. After Wang's death, Yang Suyun took over the power of the housekeeper.

Master Yang is not as good as a martial artist, but he is drunk for eight days in ten days, and he is even more a hand-off manager at home.

As early as after the Wu family first proposed to withdraw from the marriage, Yang Suyun quietly transported the Yang family's silver and a few good things, along with the jewelry heads she had saved over the years.

After she got engaged to the Wu family, there were many people who were rushing to curry favor with each other like Yang Xin, and she received many valuable gifts.

The Wu family’s betrothal gift needs to be returned, but the gifts given by others are still hers.

In addition, her things were also left by her biological mother and the jewelry she bought for her by her aunt Fu. More importantly, the rewards she received in the palace were the ones around the queen, and she received a lot of rewards. Later, the palace sent someone to send them back to her, and she put them all away.

All of this is hidden in the wet nurse's house. This wet nurse was introduced to the Yang family by the Lu family back then. The wet nurse's brother is a manager of the Lu family.

The wet nurse couldn't run away, so Yang Suyun was very relieved to put the things in her place.

But Yang Suyun never expected that Yang Xin guessed that what her brother had never doubted.

Yang Xin originally thought that Yang Suyun was still in his temple, but when he came to Xiao Yangzhuang, he realized that Yang Suyun was not locked up, but also lived a very comfortable life.

Yang Xin secretly asked Yang Suyun for the gift he gave to Yang Suyun.

Yang Suyun ignored it at first, but Yang Xin said she wanted to talk to the elders in the village about the things she caused in the capital.

Yang Suyun was anxious and changed her words and said that the thing was not in Xiao Yangzhuang and she was left in the capital.

Although Yang Suyun is not a good person, she has been studying since childhood, and Yang Xin is good at the market. Her casual words made Yang Xin have bad thoughts.

If Yang Suyun can accept his gifts, he can receive gifts from others.

Moreover, Yang Suyun was a female official in Chaoyang Palace before, and the officials' wives tried every means to win over people.

Yang Suyun is rich.

Yang Xin dared not make any decisions about other people's money, but Yang Suyun was different.

Even if Yang Suyun died in Xiaoyangzhuang, the Yang family in the capital would not care about it. If these people in Xiaoyangzhuang knew what Yang Suyun had done and what was ugly, these people would not care about her and would lock her up in the house.

In the next few days, Yang Xin was always able to appear in front of Yang Suyun like a maggot attached to the bone.

Although they are siblings from the same clan, men and women are seven years old and different seats, not to mention that they are not real siblings.

The girls who followed Yang Suyun to read and write were reluctant to come. Yang Suyun was worried that she would be sent back to the temple again, so she scolded Yang Xin not to pester her again.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xin became more and more powerful. Yang Suyun had to say that those things were not in her hands, and she also wanted someone to send them over, and she asked Yang Xin to come back in ten days.

The next day, the only one who still studied with her was Xiaohong, the youngest.

Xiaohong asked her if she hadn't had a good rest and looked very tired. Yang Suyun smiled bitterly: "Last night, the mice were fighting and screaming. I was shocked and scared. I didn't fall asleep until dawn."

Xiaohong is only eight years old, and the child in the countryside is very simple, so he hurriedly said, "My sister-in-law Liu has a cat at home. I'll carry my aunt over to catch mice."

Yang Suyun shook her head quickly: "Don't, I'm most afraid of cats."

Xiaohong was in a dilemma, and Yang Suyun said, "It would be great if I could buy some rat poison from the peddler. Unfortunately, I don't know the peddler."

"I know you, I'll buy it for my aunt." Xiaohong patted her breasts. She was very familiar with the peddler. She even took steamed buns and the peddler from home to change the ropes.

Yang Suyun gave Xiaohong a tael of silver. Two days later, the peddler came to the village again. Xiaohong bought rat poison for Yang Suyun. Yang Suyun gave the remaining money to Xiaohong. Xiaohong ran out to play happily.

The ten-day deadline has arrived, and Yang Xin came to Xiaoyangzhuang again. Because he arrived in the evening, he lived with Yang Bao's house at the entrance of the village.

The next morning, someone went to Yang Bao's house to borrow something, but no matter how they knocked on the door, no one answered the door.

Yang Bao's brothers also lived in the village. When they learned that their home could not knock on the door and were worried that something might happen to their home, they climbed over the wall and went in.

The Yang family of five, along with Yang Xin who lives here, were all dead.

There has never been such a big thing in Xiaoyangzhuang. Li Zhengye sent the village to the county town to report the official position and the coroner performed an autopsy. All six people died of poisoning.

The poison in it is not uncommon, it is ordinary rat poison.

The county government's constable and coroner had an accident before leaving the village.

There is a pond west of Xiaoyangzhuang, and a child drowned in the pond.
