Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 129

Ye Xizhao truthfully expressed his thoughts: "Mother is very concerned about this matter, and she doesn't want any disturbance in the Prime Minister's Mansion to damage the reputation of the Marquis Mansion. I understand. Because it's about my mother's family, I was very upset about it before. If you think about it right now, you won't be sober. Mom, this matter is up to you, and I'll just be the one to pass the message back and forth."

Mrs. Tai smiled approvingly, "I tried my best to think over this matter for the Xiangfu and Houfu, let me talk about it, you listen. Whether you can do it or not depends on whether the Xiangfu is willing or not in the end. When you tell your in-laws, don't lose your temper, we will discuss it carefully."

Ye Xizhao laughed, "Mother has seen through my appearance in my mother's house. You just say, I won't play my temper in the future."

Mrs. Tai laughed haha ​​at first, then slowly suppressed her smile, her voice became very slow: "In your opinion, how is Fang Fei?"

"Fang, Fei?" Unexpectedly, Ye Xizhao read the name slowly.

"Yes." Mrs. Tai explained slowly, "I've been thinking and thinking all day, and I think Fang Fei is the most suitable candidate. The child I originally fell in love with was the child from the Jing family. It's just Ji Ji. But the Prime Minister's Mansion has withdrawn marriage twice before. If we come to propose marriage again, the Jing family will have to inquire carefully about the recent affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The second elder brother is talented and talented, after all, he has to be careless in private. Besides, isn't there a saying that, if you bow your head to marry a wife and raise your head to marry a daughter, the Jing family will not agree to let the two children get married as soon as possible, and they will discuss the marriage back and forth I don't know how long it will take to marry into the Xiangfu. In this way, after the second aunt of the Xiangfu passed away, your second brother may not be able to marry a wife and start a family. Apart from that, there are also the Dong family and the Guo family. , but the situation is bound to be similar, do you think it makes sense?"

After Ye Xizhao heard these words, he naturally understood in his heart that what Mrs. Tai said were all good words, and when she looked at Mrs. Tai, she felt more grateful from the bottom of her heart.

Mrs. Tai smiled and took her hand, "I understand what you're thinking, of course, I'm also planning for Shao Heng and you - I'm concerned about this matter, and I'm also afraid that there will be a quarrel between the brothers in the Prime Minister's house. Brother will make it difficult for your elder brother in the future. In that case, how can I feel at ease when you and Shao Heng work hard? You should understand that after the incident when you went to Mobei, the most difficult thing for me to see is that you suffer and suffer. If you can avoid it, then you can avoid it. So I thought, right now, let the Second Aunt of Xiangfu fulfill her long-cherished wish as soon as possible, and she will smile at Jiuquan, so your second brother will continue as before."

Ye Xizhao grabbed Mrs. Tai's hand with his backhand, "Mother said so."

Mrs. Tai said again: "Fang Fei's background is not high, and you have taken care of her with all your heart in the past six months. After you marry into the prime minister's mansion, it is for you, and you will surely live in a down-to-earth way. Besides, you The second brother's character is also praised by many people. Even if Fang Fei is young and ignorant, he will also carefully enlighten Fang Fei and will not let Fang Fei make trouble. In addition to the relationship between me and Shao Heng, my in-laws and you Sister-in-law, if you think about it, you will be full of approval for this marriage-they have a hundred peace of mind for the person you have taken care of for so long. The last point, it is always the people who go out of our Hou's mansion, just kiss each other, the two families are still As always, it will not make people afraid that the Xiangfu will marry any powerful person."

After hearing this, Ye Xizhao nodded repeatedly.

"At the beginning of April, it's Fang Fei's 15th birthday. You and I will give her a good gift. After that, she will be considered an adult. It's the right time to get married—there are many people who marry early, and age is not a problem. "

Ye Xizhao promised: "Well, I'll go back to my natal family tomorrow and tell you about it." Then he looked at Mrs. Tai anxiously, "Mother, do you feel wronged about my natal family... Fang Fei?" After all, she is the daughter of an old friend, and Fang Fei and Mrs. Tai are also called mother and daughter, and their relationship is not shallow.

"How could it be?" Mrs. Tai smiled, "I know a lot about your temperament. Even if I only look at you, Fang Fei will not be wronged in the prime minister's house. If she marries into someone else's family in the future, I will touch it." If you don't know the truth, you will worry that she will not live a peaceful life."

The matter was thus settled.

On the second day, Ye Xizhao went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, told Meng Shi about the matter, and asked her what she thought.

After Meng got out of that paranoid thoughts, she has returned to her usual calm and rational state of mind. After thinking for a while, she said yes again and again, and with a sense of gratitude to Mrs. Tai, she promised Ye Xizhao: "You and Mrs. Just rest assured, your mother-in-law, after Fang Fei comes in, I will definitely not wrong her."

"Then," Ye Xizhao said jokingly, "Master Hou marries a younger sister, Mrs. Tai marries a daughter, the dowry will not be perfunctory..."

"You!" Mrs. Meng smiled awkwardly and poked Ye Xizhao on the forehead, "Why are you still taunting me all the time? Now I wish I could confess Xi Lang as your sister-in-law said. Now, why care about the amount of the dowry? The Hou Mansion just let go of the preparations, and I will definitely handle the marriage well. As you said, I will only earn a good name if I make a fuss about the marriage of the concubine. What are you afraid of?"

Ye Xizhao smiled with satisfaction, and then went to Second Aunt's room.He saw Ye Xilang outside and asked about Second Aunt's condition.

Ye Xilang said in a low voice: "Qiao Chen came here yesterday and changed the prescription. She said that she would do her best, Second Aunt probably has half a year left."

This is more reassuring than the words of the previous imperial physicians. Just listening to those imperial physicians, no one can doubt that the second aunt will let go and pass away at any time.

Ye Xizhao looked around the room, seeing that everything was either new or expensive, and must have been replaced by Xu's order, so he felt a little relieved, but in the end he was still worried about Ye Xilang, "Second brother, you... I don't know How should I advise you, I just hope that you can feel better."

"I'm fine." Ye Xilang gave him a gentle smile, "After the past few days, I will still devote myself to my official duties and will not stay at home anymore. I understand the kindness of you, your father, and your elder brother, and I know you all better. You have tried your best to help me.”

Ye Xizhao is naturally ashamed of such gratitude, so he just said: "It's all thanks to father and elder brother, I'm just making trouble." Then he pointed the direction of the dormitory with his chin, "I'll go and see Second Aunt .”

"Go. I'm a little energetic now, and I'm asking the literate maid to read to her."

Ye Xizhao just arrived at the dormitory.

Seeing Ye Xizhao, the second aunt saw real joy and anticipation in her eyes, she forced herself to sit up, and leaned against the head of the bed to talk to Ye Xizhao.

Ye Xizhao came here to tell Second Aunt about Ye Xilang's marriage, so he got straight to the point.

Second Auntie smiled sincerely, "Missy has taken care of you, I really don't know how to thank you."

"You're fine, just don't think too much." Ye Xizhao held Second Aunt's pale and thin hand, "I don't want to mention this matter to my second brother, but within a day or two, Madam will tell him Yes. Before that, you should talk to him first—if he disagrees, or even... If you have someone you like in your heart, Auntie, don’t hide it from me. I’ll just ask my mother-in-law to help my second brother match up again, okay? "

Second Auntie wept gratefully, "Okay, I'll make a note, thank you Miss."

"Don't do this." Ye Xizhao took out the handkerchief and wiped away tears for Second Auntie, "Your body is important, and you have to be happy. Thanks to my wife and my mother-in-law for discussing this matter carefully, otherwise I would do it even if I wanted to." I can't. I'm still too young to understand." At this time, she was still willing to ask her mother for favors.After all, Second Aunt's influence on Ye Xilang is very important nowadays.

And the second aunt was very smart, upon hearing the words, she said: "I understand, just don't worry, the eldest lady, the second master will be grateful to the madam and Mrs. Hou's mansion in the future, and I am naturally even more so."

Ye Xizhao's tone turned brisk, "Then I'll wait for my aunt's reply, and you can ask the servant next to my second brother to pass the message to me—of course, if you have no objection with my second brother, you don't need to let me know." The boy ran back and forth."

Second Aunt laughed, her face glowing, "I know."

Afterwards, there was no suspense in the matter, and no one in the Xiangfu had any objections. After Ye Shuxuan and Ye Xihan heard what their wives had done in the past two days, they finally smiled comfortably again.The father and son even took out a large amount of banknotes and handed them to Meng and Xu, so that they don't have to worry about the money they will spend on their marriage in the future.

As for this matter, the people on both sides reached a tacit agreement that they would not invite a matchmaker to inform outsiders until after Fang Fei and Ji Li.

Regarding Jiji ceremony, Ye Xizhao has experienced it himself, and even went to watch the ceremony with Mrs. Tai and Fang Fei during Jing Zhiran's Jiji ceremony, so he already knows how to handle it.

Mrs. Tai has no doubts in Ye Xizhao's ability to take care of these things, so she just let her do the preparations.

Ye Xizhao wrote many invitations with his own handwriting and invited many noble ladies to come to watch the ceremony.On that day, Mrs. Tai will naturally preside over the Jiji ceremony, and she is naturally obliged to be the praiser.

Fang Fei could see that Ye Xizhao was extremely busy and went out from time to time, but she didn't know what her sister-in-law was busy with, and she had no way of knowing about the marriage that had been arranged. , and occasionally went to Jing's house with Ye Xizhao as a guest, and took the opportunity to meet Jing Zhiran and have a private conversation.

As for Ye Xizhao, looking at Fang Fei who was becoming more and more lively and cheerful, his mood was extremely complicated.Fortunately, it was Fang Fei, not Yu Shaoyun.If it was Yu Shaoyun, if it was the time when she and Yu Shaoyun's sister-in-law were deeply in love, she would be the first to stand up and object even if Mrs. Tai wanted to get closer.The attitudes of the mother and the Xu family during this period have been too much, and it is clear that they are actively preparing for the marriage because of Ye Xihan's solemn warning. The first to hit the rocks...

Love is like this in the world. You know the shortcomings of your loved ones, and you will have hidden worries because of the behavior of your loved ones, but you can’t feel disgusted and resisted from the bottom of your heart. What you can do is to have more sympathy for others , worried.

It is always unavoidable to worry that Fangfei will be wronged in the future, and she always starts to feel more and more pity because of this. She can use Mrs. Tai as an excuse to comfort herself, but she still can't feel at ease.

The reason is nothing more than the fact that the Hou Mansion is the place where she belongs in her heart, her real home, and she cares about every relative living here.

In the end, it was her husband Yu Shaoheng who could make her feel at ease.She understood that he would try his best to avoid accidents in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he would speak up before the disaster came to avoid it. After Fang Fei married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, no matter what his considerations were, he would continue as before.

The day before Fang Fei and Ji's ceremony, Qiao Chen came to the Hou Mansion and asked the herbal diet master to change some medicinal ingredients.

After Mrs. Tai learned about it, she was very happy, thinking that it was because Ye Xizhao's health had improved that Qiao Chen did this.

But Ye Xizhao chatted with Qiao Chen for a while, and after sending Qiao Chen away, he felt a little sad.Adding it up and down, it has been more than a year of recuperation, and Qiao Chen still can't give her a time limit for recovery - Qiao Chen will tell the truth about the things that are sure, and the things that are not sure But it didn't mention a word.

She hadn't waited for Qiao Chen's optimistic statement, and she still didn't know if she could have another child for Yu Shaoheng.

Is it true that on that day, according to what he said, he will find another way, adopting, or even adopting someone else's child under his knees.

It's not that I don't agree, it's just that I feel lost when I think about it, and I don't want to face such a fact, and I don't want to admit such a shortcoming.

Even a man who is willing to sacrifice his life to wait and wait, why can't he have a real happiness?

Can't figure it out.

If fate is ruthless, just let her be reincarnated after she died of illness, and don't cause him any more trouble.

Fate brought her back to life, obviously because of her favor, why didn't she want to give her more gifts.

never mind.She let herself break free from this emotion as soon as possible, and let it go with the flow.

What he and life give her, she accepts.

Before Fang Fei and Ji Li, apart from a trip to the palace, Madam Tai stayed at home every day to coax Sister Xin.

As the solar terms approached the season of spring, Sister Xin was already able to confront Ye Xizhao with a serious face.Whenever Ye Xizhao scolded her for not competing with Brother Hao for toys, she would blink her big eyes and seriously say to Ye Xizhao: "No!" This often caused Ye Xizhao to be furious, but others laughed endlessly.

After Yu Shaoheng was constantly called into the palace to discuss matters with the emperor and deal with the government affairs piled up at hand for a period of time, he finally gradually became more leisurely. He returned to the mansion at the same time with Yu Shaoqian and Yu Shaohuan every day, and went directly to the dowager's room to greet and have dinner. , Seeing her daughter getting cuter and cuter, I like it so much.

To Ye Xizhao, Sister Xin is a little heartless, but to him, she is a true father and daughter, even if they don't see each other for a few days, they will not be estranged from him—this is a matter of The matter that made Ye Xizhao angry and laugh at the same time, she could be sure that if she didn't see her daughter for a few days, she would definitely be forgotten.

For this kind of thing, the gods have nothing to do, let alone her.

On the day of Fang Fei and Ji's ceremony, the house was full of guests, and Yu Shaoyun, who was in the palace, even sent someone to present a congratulatory gift: a Hetian jade cloud pattern hairpin.The two were considered sisters. Although they had never met each other, Yu Shaoyun still gave Fang Fei a face on such a day.

Ye Xizhao naturally understood that this was due to Mrs. Tai, it was the old man's kindness to Fang Fei, and it also gave the Prime Minister's house a face.

After that, Mrs. Tai informed Fangfei of the marriage.Ye Xizhao didn't know the exact situation, but only knew that after that day, apart from learning poetry and etiquette with Mr. Wei every day, Fang Fei spent more time shutting herself in her room in her spare time.

Ye Xizhao was worried at the beginning, but after asking Mama Gu, she learned that Fang Fei was just shy, so she was relieved.

What Mrs. Tai and Ye Xizhao didn't expect was that the marriage between Fang Fei and Ye Xilang would be different in the eyes of outsiders—now the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Hou's Mansion have settled on this marriage quietly Many people speculated that this was a marriage that Yu Shaoheng obtained for his righteous sister after he forcibly married Ye Xizhao. Yu Shaoheng continued to act domineeringly, which was due to the reluctance of the prime minister.

After you have done some things once, especially after the city is full of turmoil, after many years, there will be any turmoil, which will remind people of what happened back then, and they will be convinced.

In this way, the Xiangfu became understandable, but Yu Shaoheng was wronged.

Ye Xizhao once mentioned it to Yu Shaoheng both uneasy and funny, but Yu Shaoheng said: "I knew it a long time ago, and I also acquiesced. It's not bad this time."

Apart from thanking you from the bottom of my heart, what else could Ye Xizhao say and do?
Afterwards, the prime minister dragged the matchmaker to come to propose marriage, and the marriage was arranged quickly. After several back and forth, the marriage was fixed at the end of April.

Ye Xizhao and Mrs. Tai were very satisfied after the betrothal gift from the prime minister's mansion was delivered.The preparation of the dowry gift was only slightly inferior to the one that Yu Shaoheng sent to the prime minister's mansion, and it was naturally much higher than that of ordinary families.

Next, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy preparing the dowry for Fang Fei.

When the Hou Mansion was about to have a happy event, Yu Shaoyun also had a great happy event - after many days of discussion between the emperor and the queen mother, he wanted to make her the head of the harem, intending to let her be the mother of the world.

In fact, she could also see that Zhong Liye raised her status step by step before, but it was just paving the way for her to be canonized as queen now.So sometimes I think that one day he will no longer be favored and valued by him. For a woman like her who never expects too much, this period of time is also enough.

For Zhong Liye, it is expected that many officials will oppose the establishment of a successor.

Some people will definitely bring up the old story of Yu Shaoyun beating the sons of famous families wantonly while in the boudoir, and some people will definitely say that she is not worthy of being a mother because of these precedents.And it is true.

After he made the decree, half of the officials reenacted for him the grand occasion where many people impeached Yu Shaoheng, Ye Shuxuan, and Xiao Xun at the same time, and he was not annoyed.

Today is not what it used to be. He is no longer the situation where he was threatened by King Jing's blatant betrayal, and he is not the emperor who had only half the chance of winning. The temperament in his bones no longer needs to be restrained.

So at this time, when he saw all the officials who usually greeted Qin Anhuai and Luo Yuanhua kneel down and cry, all he saw was a piercing coldness.

At dusk that day, he looked at the officials who were kneeling in the distance crying and shouting in unison, smiled indifferently, and told the guards around him: "Chuan Yiyong Hou Xiao Xun entered the palace, let him drive these idlers away!"
