Mu Huagui

Chapter 189 The Finale
After the new year, Chen Jiao'er handed over Qin Yiyi's burial site to Xia Zisu. Xia Zisu led the Qin family to dig up the coffin, and Mrs. Qin personally covered the face of the corpse with a mask.On the day of the burial, there was a loud cry. Except for Xia Zisu, former friend Lin Ruofen, Mo Yuyan and Jin Xinyan who had married out of town all rushed back to the capital to see their friends off for the last time.

The dead are gone, and the living will continue to move on. Time slipped to March, when Lu Huo'er and Xia Zisu got married, and Zhou Mingyuan and Chen Jiao'er came to congratulate them hand in hand.

Cherry's first child also came to Chen Jiao'er in the arms of Cherry after the [-]th day.Cherry, who came to the door with the child in her arms, happened to run into Wanxi, and the two had a lot of conversations in private.It didn't take long for Wanxi to hear the good news. Before going back to recuperate, Wanxi knelt down and gave Chen Jiao'er three heads.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Wanqian is still obsessed with dreaming unrealistic dreams, but now that Wanqian understands, this servant will cherish her blessings."

Chen Jiao'er beckoned her to get up, and she couldn't help the tears welling up in her eyelashes, "If you can figure it out, I can finally let go of the big stone in my heart." At the beginning, she forced Wanxi to see the heart of Shi Ziye clearly, and forced her to wake up.Now, looking at the radiance of happiness on her face, this is truly relieved.

May is the day when Zhou Mingtang, the second young master of the palace, married the seventh lady of the Ning family. Seeing that after a few months of busy work, the little meat he managed to raise fell off again, Zhou Mingyuan pinched Chen Jiao'er's chin with his hands in distress.

Chen Jiao'er knocked off his hand, "Fortunately, there are few people in the palace. If you want a few more brothers, I will be exhausted."

"Hehe, from now on, the third brother's marriage will be left to Guanshi Feng to worry about, we don't care about it."

"How is it possible, but speaking of it, the third brother is also 13 years old, and in two years it will be the age to say goodbye. I don't know if he still blames me in his heart." The matter of Aunt Lin being impersonated by Mrs. Lu, three The young master didn't know about it, he always thought that his aunt disappeared in the hot spring village.

"How could it be? Father has already told him the reason for this matter. The matter of Miss Qin is in front of him, so he can naturally tell the truth from the false." Zhou Mingyuan didn't want her to have a heart-to-heart, and naturally the prince would not let his son treat the prince The concubine had a knot in her heart, and as soon as Qin Yiyi's incident happened, she told him what happened back then.

Because of Chen Qilu's incident, Aunt Zeng was banned by the prince for half a year, but since the seventh lady of the Ning family entered the door, she became proud again.Even if the daughter-in-law is serving the real mother-in-law, not her.Still looking left and right, I feel that the second young lady is pleasing to the eye.

"What's going on again?" Chen Jiao'er teased Brother Shun and asked after listening to Hongmei and Ruyi talking about the young mistress of the second room.

Ruyi smiled and said, "Aunt Zeng put a lot of effort into ordering a set of gem headdresses for the second young lady, but when she entered the palace, the second young lady still wore the white jade inlaid red coral beads double-knotted Ruyi hairpin given by the princess. Aunt Zeng was so angry Pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, saying that the second young master is not filial."

"The second young master's filial piety is also filial piety to the concubine. Can she get an aunt in her turn?" Hongmei curled her lips. In the palace, Aunt Lin is gone, and Aunt Tang has also stopped since the young lady got married.

Aunt Zeng was the only one left, and she felt that the second young master had the support of the Yue family, and became more and more arrogant day by day.

Chen Jiao'er smiled, but within a year, the princess was anxious to get engaged to the third young master, presumably she had other ideas.And the second young mistress also has her way, at least she is very affectionate with the queen.As a result, the empress often called her to accompany her in the palace. Every time Chen Jiao'er saw her holding back her smile after receiving the order, she felt that the second young lady was really a wonderful person.

If the queen can help the Ning family, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion will not be rejected by the emperor, and the queen will not even lose sight of her natal relatives.Back then Yonglong took great pains to put her in the palace, in order to let her serve the prince and concubine well, and curry favor with the son and concubine.Then Zhou Mingyuan came forward to find a way out for the Ning family.

She was quite thoughtful, but she was too thoughtful, once she married in, she forgot the words of Princess Yonglong.Yixin felt that he was destined to be a queen, and he would have no future in the future, so he naturally disdained to flatter his concubine again.Even by the side of the concubine, the intimacy of serving tea and water and serving food and clothing is missing.

The princess just smiled without saying a word, just like she did to Chen Jiao'er, she never asked her to greet her and take care of her.As time passed, the Second Young Mistress felt more and more that it was because of the Queen's appreciation that others looked up to her.

"Miss, Shan Shan went home yesterday and said that the fourth young master of the Chen family has entered high school." Ruyi was not sure if Miss would still listen to this, so she only mentioned one topic.

"Oh, I didn't expect him to be really promising. Let's talk about it." Looking at her, Chen Jiao'er knew that there was still a lot to say.

Sure enough, Ruyi's eyes lit up, and she said everything she heard. It turned out that Chen Zian was ranked No. [-] in the second class, and the second master came forward to fill his vacancy in Beijing.

He proposed to set up a separate family, and the second master also agreed, and gave him the big house that was originally the big house.He took Da Furen and Chen Zian in.He also invited servants to serve him, and outsiders said he was benevolent, filial to his aunt, and cared for his siblings.Chen Zian only took one dose of medicine, and had an accident as soon as he was able to get out of bed. Later, he became crippled and couldn't do anything.

Chen Jiao'er smiled, Chen Zining was benevolent and righteous, and he might hate others, but he probably only had monstrous hatred for this aunt and elder brother.Pick them up and serve them with food and drink.Internally, I still don't know how to toss them.

Ru commented that Chen Jiao'er looked very happy after hearing this, and boldly continued, "However, I heard that there are rumors from servants that the big house is haunted by ghosts."

"Haunted, what kind of trouble?"

"The person who said it is not very clear. Some say it is the sound of walking with shackles, some say it is the voice of calling for help, some say male ghosts, and some say female ghosts. However, Dafang has too many things these years. Well, some people say that the house is not lucky, so after all, no one dares to check it."

It seems that it is very difficult for the eldest lady to get a good death. Evil people will be tortured by evil people. When she poisoned Aunt Yu and beat the concubine, she probably never thought that one day she would end up in this situation.

The third young master's marriage was settled very smoothly. She is the daughter of a married woman from the Chang family. Her husband's family is a well-known wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. Dare to exceed the dowry of the crown prince back then, I am afraid that he wants to spend half of the family wealth.

After getting engaged, the brothers of the Ying family prepared generous gifts to visit the prince and the eldest son in turn, and they had a good talk.In the end, Zhou Mingyuan came forward and found a real job for one of Ying's elder brothers.

The second young lady felt sore, so she couldn't help complaining in front of the second young master, "I've been married for two years, and I haven't seen the elder son help our Ning family even a little bit, but our third younger siblings are extraordinarily wealthy. lack."

Zhou Mingtang felt stuck in his heart, and married the daughter of the Ning family back, just wanting to take advantage of Yonglong's turning over to show his face in front of the emperor.If the son-in-law has a chance, it means that he also has a chance.As a result, Yonglong came to his house once, and then went to the palace, and he completely lost his momentum.

The mighty Princess Yonglong in the past was never mentioned again, and the emperor and empress never invited her into the palace, and my hopes were also dashed.The eldest brother would rather fill in the vacancy for outsiders than for himself.Of course, he doesn't care much about what his elder brother gave him, and he has to fight for it all by himself.

"Aren't you on good terms with the queen? Find an opportunity to recommend me in front of her. If I can do two beautiful things with the emperor, I will have a chance and I will not forget your brother."

"What's more, I only mentioned it to my empress once, and she hasn't invited me into the palace to talk for half a month. It seems that she has annoyed me." The second young lady pouted, with an unhappy expression on her face.

"Perhaps, it's because of your wrong way of speaking. Be careful next time. You are so well-behaved, the queen won't annoy you." Zhou Mingtang comforted his wife.

Chen Jiao'er waited for Zhou Mingyuan to come back after drinking, and fed him hangover soup, "You, you don't have to get together with the young master of the winner, and you don't have to meet every day. You've made your brothers unhappy."

"Who, you explained it." Zhou Mingyuan was not drunk at all, but he sobered up even more after drinking a large bowl of hot tea.

"Otherwise, who else, yesterday in front of mother, kept saying that you, the big brother, are facing outsiders, and you don't think about your brothers when you have good things."

"She knows what a fart, she should be pushed back by mother."

"Pfft, you guessed it right. It's not just pouting. I was punished by my mother. She said that she was a woman who dared to talk about men at home. If she said it, she, a mother-in-law, didn't discipline her well. Punish her Locked up at home and copying Buddhist scriptures, I might not be able to leave the yard for ten days and a half months." Chen Jiao'er was amused when she thought of her expression at that time, probably because she seldom saw the princess getting angry, so she thought that the princess would not do anything to her.

But she never thought about who the princess is, the master who rode on the back of Marquis An Nan since she was born, and since she married in the capital, she is not afraid of anything.Except for suffering from the empress dowager's loss in the early years, I really didn't let anyone else.

Seeing her as a junior before, as long as she is not out of line, she doesn't bother to restrain them.If she dared to talk nonsense or offend her, wouldn't it be a matter for the princess to clean her up.It's a pity that she doesn't know herself, and she regards other people's connivance as weakness, but she shouldn't suffer.

When Zhou Mingyuan heard this, he laughed and said that the punishment was just copying Buddhist scriptures. Although the number was a bit large, it was not a big deal.As for Zhou Mingtang, he explained, "It's not that I don't help my brothers. It's because I'm too short-sighted and narrow-minded. Going out to do things can only offend others. At that time, not only will I not be able to help, but I will clean up all the troubles caused by the sky." People are afraid of him, he won't think that people are in awe of our palace, but only treat him like this. In the end, if he messes up his errand, he will definitely think of us, it's better to lock him up at home, and there will be more food and drink for them."

"But young people, shut up at home every day, I'm afraid they will have ideas after a long time."

"Hmph, he's too thoughtful. He didn't believe us, but he hoped that by marrying a girl from the Ning family, he could take advantage of Yonglong's power. He didn't know that he was willing to marry his daughter in order to help her regain her title. Such an obvious thing , he can't see it at all, but he's considered a thief in other things, and he doesn't want to suffer a little." Zhou Mingyuan originally thought that his second brother was also old, and he had this idea again, so he simply got a job in the yamen , and prevent him from booing and sighing every day.

But I didn't expect the prince to firmly disagree, and directly said that the current royal family's favor is too much, if he can't help, he should not show up at all, and don't leave any excuses for others to handle.

Zhou Mingyuan felt that his father was thinking too much, even if something happened, it might not affect them.But the prince snorted coldly, and said directly that he knew it well, and told him not to act rashly.Later, in order to persuade his father, Zhou Mingyuan carefully observed his words and deeds, only to realize that his father really did not exaggerate, so he also lightened his thoughts.

After Brother Shun's third birthday, the third young master married Ying Shi.The new daughter-in-law's appearance is extremely outstanding, she may be from a businessman, and she is even more concerned about the rules, so she can't find a single mistake.

Ying's personality is also very docile, which complements the somewhat reckless temper of the third young master. The wonderful thing is that within a few days of marriage, the lump of iron of the third young master has been turned into soft fingers by her.Seeing the harmony between their husband and wife, everyone was delighted.The prince even showed a sense of reassurance, which made Chen Jiao'er very puzzled.

Ever since the prince unconditionally agreed to the marriage of the second young master, Chen Jiao'er felt that what the prince thought was not so simple, there should be some other tricks waiting for them.

But in the past three years, she hadn't heard any rumors, and sometimes she thought she was wrong in her suspicions.But hearing the voice of the prince unintentionally revealed, and feeling that it was not bad, he felt a little uneasy.

During the New Year, something that made Chen Jiao'er uneasy finally happened.The East Prince personally presented the form, crying that he was old. When he was young, he had promised to accompany the princess to see the scenery beyond the Great Wall and climb the mountains in Annan, but he never realized it.Now that he is old, if he doesn't start his journey again, he may not be able to fulfill his promise for the rest of his life.I would like to pass on the title of Prince of the East to my son Zhou Mingyuan, and make my grandson Zhou Jingxiu his son.

A heavy blow made the capital reel, but they didn't expect that there was an even heavier blow behind them.After relinquishing his title, Prince Dong reported to the emperor, and Xiezong's mansion presided over the division of the family.The two concubines were moved from the palace and resettled separately.

When Zhou Mingtang and Ning Huan'er heard the news of the separation, they didn't feel much at first.Looking at the large number of shops, silver and mansions that have never been in his hands, he insisted on ignoring the advice of the Ning family, and obeyed his father's wishes to divide the family.

After the separation, it was discovered that they were not even eligible to visit the palace, and the queen never summoned her since that time.When they figured it out, the matter of family separation had already been registered by the clan's office, and it was a firm and final decision, and there was no possibility of turning around.

Zhou Mingyuan and Chen Jiaoer hugged Brother Shun and saw the prince and princess off. After the house was separated, they really packed up their bags. The first stop was Annan. Jiangnan traveled all the way back to Beijing.

"I don't know how old Brother Shun will be when Mother comes back." Chen Jiao'er was a little sad. After getting along with her mother-in-law in the past few years, except for the matter of giving birth to a son, she never felt sorry for her.As Brother Shun grew up, the relationship between the two became more like a mother and daughter rather than like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"You guys, don't be too busy to be sad, your mother thinks about it, she might go out, maybe halfway, Brother Xiangshun came back on horseback again." The prince looked at his wife happily.

"No matter where you go, send a letter back first." Zhou Mingyuan's voice was buzzing, and his heart was extremely reluctant, but he didn't want his parents to leave any regrets for him, so he didn't want to open his mouth to stay.

The young brother Shun didn't know what parting was, so he rode happily on the big horse, and of course he was hugged in Zhou Mingyuan's arms.Jumping on the horseback, he said to his grandmother, "Grandma, grandma, ride a big horse, run around, run fast."

Finally finished the farewell words, looking at their leaving backs, the two desperately waved their hands.It wasn't until there was no trace of the convoy that they turned around in dejection.

Brother Shun became anxious when he realized that his grandfather and grandmother were not around. He kicked his legs in Zhou Mingyuan's arms and shouted, "Dad, daddy... grandma... wait." He wanted to say that grandma was behind and wanted to wait for her, but because of I was too anxious to speak completely, and I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely.

……

"Brother Shun, grandma has a letter, read it to mother quickly." Chen Jiao'er rubbed her stomach and handed the letter to her son.

"Mother, grandma said that she will be able to arrive in the capital this month."

It's been three years since the two elders left. Brother Shun is six years old, and Chen Jiao'er is pregnant with her second child.Fortunately, the mutual communication is very frequent, which makes them not too worried.

After receiving a letter from their son and knowing that their daughter-in-law was pregnant again, the two of them who had had so much fun in the south of the Yangtze River rushed back anxiously.

Brother Sheng Shun was not around for the first time, and they didn't want to miss it this time.

They rushed day and night, and when the two elders came back, they were just in time for Chen Jiao'er to give birth. He heard the princess outside calling "My good grandson." Chen Jiao'er, who had been in labor pains in the room, gave birth to a daughter soon with the help of God.

"This time, I will follow the rules for the third day, the full moon, the hundred days, and the first year of life, and how lively it is." The princess took over the little granddaughter who had just wrapped her up, frowning, she didn't know What are you worrying about.When her leg sank, Brother Shun was already on her lap, raised his head and called, "Grandmother."

"Hey, hey." The princess was so distressed that she didn't know what to do, she immediately said to the prince, "I will never leave again. The mountains and rivers outside are as good as the good grandson at home."

Zhou Mingyuan entered the delivery room, took the porridge from Ruyi's hand, and fed it to her spoon by spoon. Seeing that she couldn't eat anymore, he leaned her head on his lap, "Sleep, I'll be here with you."

"Yeah." Chen Jiao'er slowly fell asleep, she could always sleep so sweetly in his arms, how many years, after rebirth, she would still count the days every year, for fear that she would not have a good life for a few years, for fear that God would kill her at any time Take this opportunity.

"Father, mother, you are in the spirit of the sky, have you seen it?" Chen Jiao'er seemed to see her father and mother in her dream. They smiled and looked at themselves, waving their hands gently, drifting away bit by bit, but the smile on their faces seemed to be Right in front of your eyes, so clear to see.

But now, she no longer worries, nor does she think about how many days she has left.Because there is a family, him, and children, everything is with them.In all the days to come, she will no longer be hesitant, helpless and sad, only peaceful and joyful.
