Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 42

"You don't need to be too polite. Ms. Liu didn't ask for a name to give birth to a child for the husband. I should come and visit. I don't know where the child is now. Can I take a look?" Looking at the woman who was leaning softly on Qi Haocheng's body, she pinned all her hopes on this man, as if the stakes were a little higher.

Liu Xu'er was a little afraid of what she would do to the child, so she looked at Qi Haocheng pleadingly, Qi Haocheng let her lie back and got up and said, "I'll go there with you."

Because Liu Xu'er gave birth to a child who was extremely weak, she did not avoid being disturbed, so the two children were placed next door. Zhuge Yuxin happened to have been fed when she passed by, and both were awake.

A few days later, the child has grown a little, and is not as weak as when he was just born. When he saw a stranger appearing, he just stared at him with wide eyes. Which is the younger brother?"

"Concubine Hui Shi, this is my brother." The two nurses were also arranged by the Nanyang Houfu. Zhuge Yuxin looked at the brother, stretched out his hand and tapped his face lightly, and turned to Qi Hao who was behind him. Sheng said, "After the full moon is over, these two children will be sent to the Nanyang Houfu. As for Miss Liu, they should continue to be raised in the other garden."

"No!" Qi Haosheng took her hand, "The child stays here, waiting to be connected to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion together."

Zhuge Yuxin smiled indifferently, "Okay, but after I give birth to two sons, you can take them in together, otherwise you will have to wrong Miss Liu and these two cute little guys to continue stay here."

This is the ultimatum given by Lord Qihou to Qi Haocheng at the beginning, it is fine not to move Liu Xuer, he will get married and have children, what Qi Haocheng did not expect is that Zhuge Yuxin is so difficult to deal with, seeing her so innocent when he was a child , I haven't seen you for ten years, and my temperament has changed a lot.

"What if you haven't given birth to a son?" Qi Haocheng said in a deep voice. Zhuge Yuxin coaxed the child and turned to look at him, "Then keep giving birth until I, Zhuge Yuxin, give birth to the eldest son."

Qi Haocheng almost saw determination in her eyes, and suddenly smiled, "You don't like me, so why insist on it?"

"Sir, since you like Liu Xuer so much, you don't have to be so persistent." Zhuge Yuxin lifted his collar, with a mocking expression...

As soon as April came, Mrs. Li came back with Yingyun and a girl, who she personally chose for Qirui's wife. She heard from Mrs. Li that she was a businessman from a family in Chenzhou who was well-matched with the Shen family. There are officials in the capital, and Shen Qirui has abandoned business to become an official. He is also very happy to see this marriage, and Li just likes this girl to be gentle and easy to control. As a mother-in-law, she is not happy to see her daughter-in-law stronger than herself many.

Hearing that Yingxiu had promised the second son of the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, Li Shi was still envious, but when he heard that the second son was handicapped, her envy immediately turned into sympathy. Yingxiu was always silent towards the girl standing behind Li Slightly favorable.

Yingyun moved into the attic, and Yinghui began to be unhappy. Every day when she left the yard, she could see Yingyun always sitting outside the attic opposite. It was the beginning of spring, and peach blossoms were in full bloom. I like to set the table under the peach blossom tree, drink tea and read books.

But seeing all this in Yinghui's eyes, she became a model representative of pretending. She ran a lot in Yingxiu's yard. All the jewelry items that had been placed there were moved to the small warehouse, and Yinghui, who was saved, came every few days, seeing something jealous and wanting it again.

"Hurry up and get married, I'm going to demolish the attic, and use all the wood as firewood." Yingxiu listened to her childish bold words, smiled and said nothing.

"Eldest sister, I heard that the second young master Qi has a broken leg, you can take a fancy to that?" Yinghui was a little scheming to put it bluntly. On the face, it is not difficult to guess.

Seeing the regretful look on her face, Yingxiu shook her head, "You will also have marriage, if you don't like it, don't you want to marry?"

"Of course!" Yinghui nodded with her mouth tilted, "If he has a pockmarked face and crooked mouth, I won't marry even if the prince comes. Naturally, I think it's pleasing to the eye."

"It's all nonsense, mother will make you look pockmarked?"

"My mother promised to marry you, my sister, to the second young master of the Qi family. Although he is good-looking, he is as unacceptable as a pockmarked face and a crooked mouth!" Yinghui looked at Yingxiu sympathetically, although her sister's The conditions of marriage and family background are very good, and I may not be able to have such a good one in the future, but the nanny told her that such a man is half useless.

After sending Yinghui away, Baoqin said angrily, "Miss, Second Miss is too outspoken, how can you say that about Second Young Master Qi, this is Miss's future son-in-law after all, even if it is really inconvenient, you can't take it like that Say it to your face."

Yingxiu smiled nonchalantly, "She told me that in person today, and tomorrow she won't talk nonsense behind her back. I've just heard about it." Compared to someone who smiles and makes love in front of her face but keeps attacking behind her back, Yingxiu is more willing to be with someone People like Yinghui get along well.

Ever since the quarrel in the study that day, Yingxiu had never spoken to Shen Heye again. After receiving the dowry from the Qi family, the Shen family would start preparing the dowry for Yingxiu. The key was given to Mrs. Shen, "This is Xiu'er's mother's dowry, go and have a look and count the number, all of these are with Xiu'er's dowry."

Mrs. Shen took the key and didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until she went to the warehouse that she was a little scared. The Qiao family really loved their daughter. Qiao Qingran's dowry was twice as much as when she married her back then. , There are brocade boxes on the rows of shelves in the warehouse, many of which are gold ornaments, all of which are newly forged and never used.

After Shen Heye came back in the evening, when she asked about this time, Mrs. Shen became more thoughtful, "Master, all the dowry in this warehouse comes with you, and if we add it, it will be quite a lot."

"When the dowries passed away in Qingran back then, Mrs. Qiao personally came to lock up the storehouse, saying that after Yingxiu got married, she would marry them intact, and I couldn't wait." Shen Heye Qiao Qingran specifically how much dowry I don't know, when she married her, the dowry was obviously far less than the dowry. Qiao Qingran was originally married, and Mrs. Qiao was afraid that her youngest daughter would have a bad life here, so the dowry was even more than that of her eldest daughter.

"In the future, Hui'er will have to marry, and Yingmeng will have to be prepared by us. Besides, Qizhi and Qiwen will get married. If the family background is good, the dowry is not a small amount. Let's keep some of the ones that don't belong in this warehouse." Mrs. Shen handed the counted list to Master Shen, and circled some of the items.

"This seems too obvious." Mrs. Shen crossed out one-third of the circle with a tick, but she didn't think it was enough. Shen Heye stopped her, "Qingran's dowry was not changed much back then. When Xiu'er got married, Qiao If the family members see that the number of dowry tables is wrong, it would be inappropriate to argue at that time."

"That's easy. The number of tables remains the same, and the things inside can be changed." Mrs. Shen was thinking about those valuable dowries, and tried her best to keep some of them. She made a new list and took the maid with her I went there myself to separate things.

It was May, and there was good news from Nanyang Marquis Mansion that the concubine was pregnant, the concubine and the concubine loved each other, and within three months of their marriage, the concubine was pregnant.

Qi Haoming also personally went to congratulate Zhuge Yuxin with a gift, "Congratulations, sister-in-law." Zhuge Yuxin smiled lightly, without revealing the joy of being pregnant, "I asked you to make a special trip, I also have a lot of good ones here." Medicinal materials, I heard that you are just looking for the second brother, so I don’t know if you can help me.” Yanzhi behind Zhuge Yuxin handed over a box, Qi Haoming asked Zhuo Ye to accept it, “Sister-in-law is very kind.”

"I also heard from my mother that the date of the second brother is set for this time next year, and it is set for the eldest lady of the Shen family, right?" Zhuge Yuxin took the cup that Yan Zhi handed over, "At the banquet in Dingwang's mansion I also met once, she is an extremely gentle woman, very suitable for my second brother."

Qi Haoming smiled, "Brother and sister-in-law are also very suitable."

Zhuge Yuxin smiled and didn't answer. Qi Haoming only stayed for a while, and then took Zhuo Ye back to Tingfeng Courtyard. The two foreigners brought by King Ding had already gone back. Zhuge Yuxin's box The medicinal materials were indeed delivered in a timely manner. According to the prescription given by Buda at that time, Qi Haoming had to take different medicines every six months. Some of them were more precious, and if they were found too conspicuously, they would easily attract the attention of others.

Zhuo Ye compared all the herbs in the brocade box and followed the Buda teaching inspection method to confirm that there was no problem with the herbs before putting them into Qi Haoming's usual decocting medicine box. Qi Haoming's courtyard needs to be refurbished, and he will move back to the other courtyard where Mrs. Qi lived before his death.

The next day Qi Haoming moved to Mrs. Qi's other courtyard, which was quieter than Tingfeng Courtyard. The yard was managed by the old lady under Qi's old lady. When she saw Qi Haoming, she was still very nervous. kind.

"The second young master is going to marry a wife, and the old lady will feel at ease in the spirit of heaven." Nanny Li is already in her fifties and has served Mrs. Qi for decades. Madam Li had watched Qi Haoming grow up in the Buddhist hall of Mrs. Qi back then, and knew that he would come back to live for a while, so she cleaned up his old house a long time ago.

The furnishings in Qi Haoming's former house were not changed much, Mrs. Xu sent someone to replace the bed and quilt, until Tingfeng Courtyard was renovated, Qi Haoming would live here.

Zhuo Ye moved very quickly. After packing up the things he brought, he first went to the kitchen to suffer for himself. Qi Haoming sat under the big banyan tree in the yard, flipping through a notebook in his hand, and a cup of tea was hot on the table. .

There was a sound of surprise at the gate of the yard, and a girl dressed as a maid looked at Qi Haoming curiously, and walked in cautiously with a food box in her hand.

Nanny Li came out of the house, saw the little granddaughter coming around and waved, "Don't call anyone, Second Young Master, this is my little granddaughter Shuhui, she is timid, she is born, I am afraid she has never met Second Young Master you."

The girl continued to look at Qi Haoming curiously, without a trace of fear in her eyes, seeing Qi Haoming was also looking at her, she suddenly grinned, pointed at Qi Haoming's face and said, "It's pretty, it looks so pretty when you smile!"

Nanny Li hurriedly pulled her hand back for a pat, and scolded, "What a beauty, how can you point at the young master casually!"

Shuhui hid her fingers in her arms a little aggrieved, and looked at Qi Haoming with wide eyes.

Only then did Qi Haoming realize that this was the daughter of Nanny Li's youngest son. It is said that she had a high fever when she was a child, and her brain was burnt out. He was kind and generous, so he left her in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion.

"It's okay, Nanny Li, you can take her in." Shuhui was dragged into the house by Nanny Li, and at the end she still didn't forget to wave goodbye to Qi Haoming, very lovable.

Qi Haoming looked at the direction they were going in, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, if such a person was in their yard, she would definitely like it...
