Original Collection

Xiao Ruisheng's appearance was [-]% similar to Xiao Xiangsheng's, but he was much shorter and thinner.Over the years, when the Xiao family was separated, the share of the family property that Xiao Xiangsheng gave him was almost tossed by him.There are a lot of concubines and concubines in the family, and they don't live well.When he is giggling, his eyes are always flying wildly, no matter how upright his appearance is, there is an indescribable obscenity.

Long Xiangye never looked down on Xiao Ruisheng.Now I heard that even if you marry Xiao Ruisheng, you can't even be the main wife, and you can only be the second wife, that is, a concubine with some status. The skirt and half arms are fluttering, but the charm still exists.

"Brother Ji, listen to what he has to say? Even if you want your mother to marry him, they won't want it. ——Mother goes to be his second wife, how can you have face?" Long Xiangye Talking to Xiao Shiji, I wish I could spit on Xiao Ruisheng.

The matchmaker listened nearby, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, you don't know that, younger brothers and widowed sister-in-laws are always the second wife, and rarely become the main wife. —— If the old lady wants to be the main wife, I will The three families mentioned earlier are not bad, the Li family, the Zhang family, and the Mei family are all married, among them Meiqin Master has never married a wife, once you go, you will be the original wife!"

Long Xiangye couldn't listen anymore, stared at the matchmaker and said: "These mothers-in-law are so vicious, why do you want me to marry them?"

The matchmaker called Zhuang Tianqu, "Hey, old lady, you can't say that. You are also a mother-in-law. Of course you know that it is only natural for a mother-in-law to let her daughter-in-law set the rules. Aren't you the most disciplined? Why are you still picky?" The elders are here?"

Long Xiangye choked.Covering half of her face with a round fan, she bluffed and said: "This mother-in-law beat her daughter-in-law to death, and she said it's nothing. You are a matchmaker, and you are just cheating like this?"

The matchmaker was ashamed, and said embarrassingly: "The old lady is so talkative, everyone said that the old lady is the most demure, polite and well-behaved, and now it's nothing more than that..."

"You...!" Long Xiangye was so angry that she didn't know how to reply, she turned her head to look at Xiao Shiji and said, "Go and call Tai Geer over. You can't decide this kind of thing alone."

Xiao Shiji smiled lightly and looked at Long Xiangye without speaking.

Seeing his smile made Long Xiangye feel guilty, so he could only look away with flickering eyes.

The matchmaker laughed beside her and said: "If the old lady is a respectful person, how could she not know that there is no master in this family? It's the eldest son who has the final say?——The uncle is both the concubine and the elder. Of course, your family must listen His. What's the use of calling your second master?"

Only then did Xiao Shiji say, "Mother, if you don't want to choose your second uncle, just choose one of the three families just now. ——Choose it earlier, so that I can make a dowry for you." He said.Then he spoke to Xiao Yi who was outside, "Go and invite the eldest young mistress over, and tell her to come over if there is something important to do, and by the way, bring the nine-linked box that I gave her back then."

Xiao Yi agreed, and hurried to the courtyard where Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang lived.

Du Hengshuang has already ordered his servants to pack up and prepare to go back to her mother's house.

He heard Xiao Yi, the chief steward of the outer court, begging to see him.Du Hengshuang let him in.

Xiao Yi stepped into the threshold of the main room, looked up at Du Hengshuang wearing a long curtain on his head.Light gray gauze hangs from the brim of the hat on the top of the head to the knees.Cover her whole body tightly.She wore the curtain, of course, to cover up the scars on her face, and also to go back to her mother's house in a while.

"Young Mistress, where are you going?" Xiao Yi was very surprised, and hurriedly asked.Muli is a hat that women from rich families in Daqi wear to cover their faces and figures when they go out.

Du Hengshuang smiled, didn't say much, just asked, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Xiao?"

Xiao Yi knew that he was talking too much, so he hurriedly said: "It's like this, the uncle is in the old lady's room, now I want to ask the youngest mistress to come over quickly, and said that the youngest mistress should take the nine-link box."

Du Hengshuang didn't want to go at first, but when he heard that he was going to take the nine-chain box again, he became a little interested, and wondered what Xiao Shiji was up to.

The nine-chain box has many mechanisms, once the outside is locked with a special lock, the mechanism inside will be activated.Even if someone got the key and opened the box, the nine-twist chain inside would still make people dizzy.The things contained in it can only be taken out by dismantling the box layer by layer, so it is called the nine-link box.This box was made by a famous craftsman in the previous dynasty, I don't know where Xiao Shiji got it, and gave it to Du Hengshuang.When Du Hengshuang has nothing to do, he likes to disassemble and reassemble this box, and has a lot of fun with it.

"Why does the uncle want this box, do you know?" Du Hengshuang asked Xiao Yi while asking Zhihua to get the box.

Xiao Yi really didn't know, and honestly shook his head and said: "The uncle always sees the beginning and the end of things, and the little one doesn't know."

This flattery is also too powerful.

Du Hengshuang secretly slandered Xiao Yi, took the Jiulianhuan box from Zhihua, took Zhihua, Ou Yangniang, and a few strong women, and followed Xiao Yi to the upper room where Long Xiangye lived.

It was the first time for Du Hengshuang to come to the courtyard where Long Xiangye lived.

Entering the main room, Xiao Yi did not allow Zhihua and Ou Yangniang to follow, but only let Du Hengshuang go in with him.

Du Hengshuang was suspicious and refused to go with him alone.

Xiao Yi had no choice but to report loudly to the back room: "Master, the young lady is here."

After a while, footsteps sounded in the room, Xiao Shiji lifted the curtain, and revealed his face from the top.

Seeing Du Hengshuang with a knee-high curtain away, Xiao Shiji's eyes darkened, he walked over and supported Du Hengshuang's arm and said, "Follow me in first."

Du Hengshuang's heart softened, and he winked at Zhihua and Ou Yangniang who were waiting beside them.

Zhihua nodded knowingly, letting Du Hengshuang go in with confidence.If something goes wrong, they will take care of it outside.

Du Hengshuang was relieved, followed Xiao Shiji into the top room, passed through the Nuan Pavilion, opened the curtain of the carved floor cover, and came to Long Xiangye's inner room.

Long Xiangye stood beside her big bed, not far from her, stood a gorgeous woman who looked like a matchmaker.There was another man standing not far from the door.Smile with Long Xiangye.

Du Hengshuang met Xiao Ruisheng once when he was a child, and he didn't remember his appearance for a long time, so he looked at Xiao Shiji inquiringly.

Xiao Shiji supported her arm, walked past Xiao Ruisheng, stood not far from Long Xiangye, and introduced to Du Hengshuang: "This is my second uncle, my father's younger brother, do you remember?" ?”

Speaking of the name, she remembered it.And she remembered too.Xiao Shiji never waited to see this second uncle, why did he invite the old lady to the inner room today?It's a bit strange.

Only then did Xiao Ruisheng know that this woman wearing a long veil was Xiao Shiji's new wife, so he quickly took a step forward and bowed to Du Hengshuang.Very attentive, it's like wanting to please in every possible way.

Du Hengshuang slightly bowed his knees to return the salute, and saw Long Xiangye standing beside the bedside pillar of the carved Babu bed, not like the calm and leisurely noble lady in the past, but with a look of panic and anxiety, Du Hengshuang felt that something was wrong.

Xiao Shiji nodded to Long Xiangye and said: "Mother, it's settled like this. You will remarry to the second uncle as the second wife, and I will write the marriage letter myself. You and the second uncle will make a pledge. The big matchmaker is ready-made, and you can immediately Sign the marriage certificate."

Long Xiangye was Xiao Ruisheng's second wife, so she wasn't considered to be the main wife of the Ming matchmaker, and it was a second marriage, so there was no need for three matchmakers and six engagements and other over-the-top procedures.

The two wrote the marriage letter, and then went to the government to register.It will take effect.

Du Hengshuang was surprised when he heard it, and looked at Xiao Shiji suspiciously through the light gray veil.He couldn't help reaching out and tugging at his sleeve.

Xiao Shiji turned around with a smile and said warmly to Du Hengshuang: "I went out last night, ran all night, and finally helped my mother find several marriages. My mother chose a 'transferred marriage', which means remarrying my second uncle as the second wife."

Du Hengshuang also knew that some families had the custom of younger brothers marrying widowed sisters-in-law, but Long Xiangye married Xiao Ruisheng? — She still finds it too weird.

Seeing that Du Hengshuang was silent, Long Xiangye rushed over and whimpered in front of her, "Daughter-in-law, mother made a mistake, and mother apologizes to you. Mother shouldn't have slapped you yesterday. You spit on me yesterday, you didn't mean it." Yes, I slapped you because I was blinded by lard for a while. I made a mistake. I really know I was wrong, and I will never do it again. ——Ji Geer will listen to you, I beg you to help me Persuade him, don't let me remarry, okay? I've spent my whole life for their three children, letting me go now is worse than gouging out my heart! I beg you, help my mother once..."

Du Hengshuang didn't open his mouth, but Xiao Shiji said calmly: "Mother, I made an agreement just now, why did you go back on it now? Shuang'er doesn't know anything, so you begged her in vain."

Du Hengshuang looked at Xiao Shiji, and then at Long Xiangye, who was crying in pain, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Long Xiangye was in a hurry.This eldest son is not filial, it's really sad to be a mother.Why is it that when other women are mothers-in-law, their son doesn't care about how they torment their daughter-in-law. He just slaps Du Hengshuang lightly, and his son will drive him out of the house. ——She only knows that the mother-in-law in ancient times can torment her daughter-in-law at will, but she forgot that the mother-in-law is actually a subordinate of the son. If the son refuses to show you face, you are useless even if you are his ancestor...

The eldest son seems useless, but the younger son is reliable, and that child has been clinging to himself since he was a child.

Long Xiangye glanced at Du Hengshuang, and said: "Poor my Yanran, she hasn't even decided on a marriage. With me as a remarried mother, what good marriage can she find? You sister-in-laws can't bear it?"

Hearing that Long Xiangye used Xiao Yanran as an argument, Du Hengshuang couldn't bear it, so he came up with an idea, "Master, my sister is twelve this year, and she is engaged in the past two years, and it will take three years to get married when she is fifteen. How about, Let the mother remarry after three years?——After Yanran's sister is married, the mother will remarry the second uncle, what do you think?"

Du Hengshuang figured out what Xiao Shiji was thinking, and probably didn't really want Long Xiangye to remarry, but just to scare her so that she could settle down, so he handed Xiao Shiji a ladder so that he could step down.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shiji nodded solemnly and said: "Alright, the date of three years will be written in the marriage certificate, Second Uncle, what do you think?"

Of course Xiao Ruisheng didn't even dare to fart, he kept saying yes and put a pledge on the marriage letter.

Long Xiangye lingered and refused to draw, but the matchmaker took her hand and pressed a finger print on the marriage letter.

As soon as the finger print was pressed, Long Xiangye became much more honest.

Xiao Shiji prepared only one copy of the marriage certificate, and when everyone signed it, Xiao Shiji asked Du Hengshuang for a Jiulianhuan box, put the marriage certificate in it, locked the lock, and handed the key to Long Xiang Ye Cuan, "Mother, this is the key that contains your marriage certificate. You keep it yourself, and no one else can open this box. Only us and no one else will know about your remarriage in three years. do not worry."

The matchmaker is actually Xiao Shiji's subordinate, but she is also a serious matchmaker with a real ranking in the government, not a fake.

Long Xiangye was slightly relieved.No one else knew about it, so they saved some face for her. ——As for the future, let’s talk about it later.Anyway, there are still three years left. In these three years, as long as she treats Du Hengshuang better, this marriage letter may not come into effect...

Xiao Shiji turned around and handed the box containing the marriage certificate to Du Hengshuang, "Take care of this box carefully, and don't lose it."

To give the key to Long Xiangye and the box to Du Hengshuang, it is really an exhaustive strategy.

Du Hengshuang smiled wryly, holding the box like holding a hot potato.

When something happened here, Xiao Shiji called Long Xiangye's maidservants to come over and serve them, and told them: "The old lady is not in good health, so she has to go to the Xuanrong Hall in the back garden to recuperate. You pack the old lady's things and move out within three days." Go to Xuanrong Hall."

This is to ask Long Xiangye to give up the upper room in the main courtyard of the Xiao family.

Long Xiangye's maid, He Rui, was a little unconvinced, and looked at Long Xiangye with reddish eyes, "Old lady?"

Long Xiangye didn't lose her temper like before, but said peacefully, "Pack up your things, let's move. There's so much noise here, it's giving me a headache."
