Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 17

"I know who she is, the person that the son of the Nanyang Houfu wants to marry, right?" Yinghui suddenly realized when she saw the voice in the Yuantang, and commented very impressively, "If I were a man, I would be married too." She is attractive and looks really good-looking."

"What's so good about a prostitute? Dressed like this in broad daylight and come here to ask for a lottery." There is a very strange thing in the girl's mind. When she meets a beautiful and attractive woman who is taller than herself, she will always pick first. After the attack to achieve psychological balance.

Yinghui is young, so she still can't feel the invisible threat, but she thinks Liu Xu'er and the others are beautiful, "I don't know if it's true, does the Crown Prince of Nanyang really want to marry her?"

"How can a prostitute be worthy of being a son of the world? It's too whimsical." Yingyun thought about the balance in her heart, but also thought it was ridiculous. They dared to think about such a huge disparity in status.

"What my cousin said makes sense. The eldest aunt wants to marry her to a good family in the capital, so she also has to see if she is a good match, otherwise it will be a fantasy?" Yinghui turned her head and said Having said that, Yingyun paused, her cheeks flushed instantly, "You!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Yingxiu hurriedly dragged Yinghui down the stairs, and said softly, "Don't talk about the Ruyang Palace, my cousin is worried about it."

Yinghui pouted but did not shake off Yingxiu's hand. There was a person who was more annoying to her than Yingxiu. The elder sister in front of her seemed much more pleasing to the eye. "I didn't say anything, even she would It’s whimsical, and you’re talking about someone else.”

When the group returned to the guest room, the atmosphere was obviously different. Yingyun returned to the room with a serious face. Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Li followed her to ask questions. Mrs. Shen pulled Yinghui over and scolded her. Said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Mom, why didn't you ask the whole story and just said it was my fault." Yinghui stomped her feet unwillingly, and Qizhi looked up at her, and said coolly, "Who else is it if it's not you?"

"You!" Yinghui glared at him, then turned her head to act like a spoiled lady to Mrs. Shen, "Just now we saw the lady from Huafang in Yuantang, and the cousin said that they were so ambitious and wanted to marry into the Hou's mansion, and then I said, Isn't it too ambitious for my cousin to marry into the Ruyang Prince's Mansion." What's more, the young man said that and the aunt actually had the same meaning, which is not even more embarrassing.

"That's your cousin, how can you say such a thing, can you talk about the Huafang prostitute with your cousin." Mrs. Shen couldn't laugh or cry angrily, this daughter only gave birth to three points like her, and the rest didn't know Like who has gone, what can be said and what can't be said is all in one mind, so it will be good to offend people in the future.

It's no wonder that Shen Yingyun, who is already noble, will be angry. How can her identity be put together with the woman in Huafang to talk about things? They are incomparable. Mrs. Shen starts to have a headache when she thinks that her sister-in-law will come to Xingshi to question her. Looking at Yinghui felt a little annoying, "Okay, okay, don't pretend to be pitiful, your cousin is angry with you, go back to the room and reflect on yourself, and make amends to your cousin. "

"I don't want it, and I'm right!" Seeing that Mrs. Shen didn't protect her and wanted her to apologize instead, Yinghui rushed out of the room with a small face, and the maid behind her hurriedly followed.

Mrs. Shen sighed. This daughter, a little bit displeased her, she will show you the little devil directly. She was spoiled by the sky when she was a child, but now it is even harder to change. Looking at Yingxiu again, Mrs. Shen feels He became more and more uncomfortable, "Why did you meet people from Huafang when you went to Yuantang, and let Hui'er see it so clearly, what a shame."

Sitting in the lower seat, Yingxiu was taken aback for a moment, a little confused by Mrs. Shen's sudden attack, "Mother, Yingxiu doesn't know where the people from Huafang will go."

"Mother, this Wan'an Temple is not the back garden of our house. Of course, anyone can come here if they want. What does it have to do with my sister?" Shen Qizhi suddenly said something from the side, and the scolding that Mrs. Shen was about to utter was abruptly blocked. go back.

"Okay, you all go out." Madam Shen's heart suddenly burst into flames, but she had nowhere to vent. Yingxiu said goodbye and left Madam Shen's guest room with her arms in her arms. Shen Qizhi also came out , trotted behind her for a few steps, Yingxiu slowed down and waited for him to come forward, Shen Qizhi looked at her like a little adult, "Sister, don't worry, I'll be fine if I go back to mother's place." .”

What Mrs. Shen taboos the most is that her two children are close to Yingxiu, especially her own son. Shen Qizhi defended Yingxiu in front of her, which is enough for Mrs. Shen to be vigilant. Stiff, seeing what Shen Qizhi said, Yingxiu smiled and reached out to touch his forehead, "I don't worry, you are an adult, you will be able to handle these things well."

This remark was very useful to Shen Qizhi's ears, but the movement of touching his head displeased him, so he went back to the room by himself after he finished speaking, and after Yingxiu returned to the guest room, he asked Xiangling to send the [-]-year-old picture to the master. After the consecration of the temple, he took Baoqin to the place where Qiao Qingran lit the ever-burning lamp.

Yingxiu still remembers the year when Shen Heye got married. She was only three years old. At the time, the old lady of the Shen family said that a family should not live without a mistress. Yingxiu was still young and needed someone to take care of her, but she didn't want her father to marry again. When a mother comes back, she has a nanny and mother Qiao to take care of her. Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Counting those eight years, Yingxiu seems to have gone through it all over again.

Yingxiu blamed Qiao Qingran for why she went so desperately to give birth to her little brother, leaving her alone, leaving her who was so young at that time helpless. If she was still alive, she would not be like that at the beginning, but now When Shi Yingxiu had her first child, those blames and complaints disappeared. She only wanted the baby in her stomach to be born safely. The child in the house has an accident.

It's a pity that she and those few children are not lucky, so many people can't tolerate their birth.

Now that she is in Shen's residence, once she sees clearly, Yingxiu feels that it is getting more and more difficult, she guards against it carefully, but she is confused about what kind of person she should marry.

"Miss, it's almost time to go back." Baoqin stood outside the hall and watched the sky getting darker, and came in to remind her, Yingxiu picked up a spoon on the side and added a spoonful of oil to the candlestick, "Alright, let's go back. "

Mrs. Shen's complexion improved a lot during the late fast. It must be that Shen Qizhi said something to Mrs. Shen later. Only Yingyun said that she was unwell and did not come out to eat, and Li's expression was also a little unsightly. Xiu silently finished her meal and took Xiangling back to the guest room. At night, the Wan'an Temple became even more silent. Even in the mountains, she could hear the chirping of insects in the forests and fields outside.

Lying on the bed, Yingxiu listened to the ups and downs of the voices, gradually became sleepy and fell asleep.

When traveling the next day, I accidentally ran into relatives of Prince Pingyang’s mansion. It was King Pingyang’s eldest daughter-in-law Xiao Shi who brought her younger siblings out to play. Mrs. Shen came forward to greet her and introduced Li made acquaintance.

There are many princes and daughters in Pingyang, and they are extremely fertile. Not counting the children who died in an accident, from the eldest son to the youngest child, there are all children who are 30 or [-] years younger. Xiao's family is taking care of some girls today, Yingxiu I also met Chen Baolin who I haven't seen for a long time.

Still cute and chubby, Chen Baolin pulled Yingxiu to the side, with a smile full of emotions, "Sister Yingxiu, after Chunfang returned, I went to Qiao's house to look for you, but Shuyao said you had already returned to Shenyang." I'm home, and I don't know the Shen family well, so I didn't look for you."

"Well, I'll go back to Shen's house after Spring Festival is over." Yingxiu found that although Chen Baolin is a concubine, she is still popular among these girls. Maybe she thinks that she is stupid and has no lethality, and she is a person with a strong sense of existence. Low ones, I don't mind treating her better.

"By the way, sister Yingxiu, when the peaches are ready to pick next month, my sister-in-law said that she will hold a peach banquet in the mansion, so you can come too." Chen Baolin blushed excitedly, and whispered, "There are small pieces of peaches in the mansion. As for Lin, I secretly went to see it a few days ago, and it will be ready to eat soon, when the time comes, let's pick it together, shall we?"

Yingxiu saw her happy face, but she didn't dare to agree directly. There is not much relationship between the Shen family and the Pingyang Palace. The peach feast matter may not be sent to the Shen family. If she agrees rashly, when the time comes I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint her.

Mrs. Xiao at the other end happened to be chatting with Mrs. Shen about the peach banquet, and said politely, "At that time, a post will be sent to your house. Mrs. Shen, please remember to bring a few young ladies from your family to attend."

Mrs. Shen quickly complied, and Mrs. Li was the happiest. This kind of lively banquet will definitely meet a lot of dignitaries, and Yingyun's marriage will be settled by then.

As for Mrs. Shen, knowing more about the family members of officials in the capital might help Shen Heye a bit. After chatting with them for a while, Mrs. Xiao took these women's family members to the next point. Chen Baolin held Yingxiu's hand. It took a while before he was willing to leave, telling her that if she went to participate, she must go to her.

Seeing the group of people leaving in a mighty manner, Mrs. Li said comfortably, "Finally, we have some clues. If Qi Rui's marriage can also be arranged, then it will be the best of both worlds."

Mrs. Shen remained silent and did not answer. Shen Qirui's current official position, which is a high-marriage low-marriage, is probably a difficult task by the standard of a sister-in-law.

After staying in Wan'an Temple for two days, Mrs. Shen took them back to Shen's house. Everyone was obviously tired after driving for a long time. After a visit to Aunt Kong, I also went back to rest.

In Yun Academy, Yingxiu felt a little weird when she received the letter from Qingbi.

It is still not signed. The last time the letter was not guessed to be the second son of the Qi family until Qin took out Yingxiu. This time, the handwriting is not much different from the last time. It should be written by the same person. There is also a small wooden drawer, which is divided into upper and lower compartments. When you open it, you can see that there are neat long strips of smoked spices inside.

It was written like that in the letter: I heard brother Jinze mentioned that I can't sleep well at night. This is a tribute incense from the Western Regions. It has the effect of calming the nerves.
