Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 43

The weather is getting hotter, and Yingyun's wedding day is approaching. Mrs. Shen is in a better mood for the dowry in the warehouse, so she adds some dowry to Yingyun, and Yingxiu also sends a pair of bracelets.

Just after June came out, Yingyun carried it out of Shen's mansion in a lively manner. Her dowry was more than that of Zhuge Yuxin when she married at the beginning of the year. A carriage followed behind the welcoming procession, so luxurious.

After marrying his daughter, Li's top priority is his son marrying a wife. Shen Qirui must go back to his hometown in Chenzhou when he gets married. It will take at least three months to go back and forth. This is a big taboo for Qirui who has just taken office not long ago. So Li made up his mind and bought a house for Shen Qirui in the capital, and arranged a simple wedding for them, and made up the banquet when he returned to Chenzhou in the future.

The son married a daughter-in-law, and Li naturally lived with the son. After a while of excitement, the Shen residence became much quieter.

In summer, the wind was blowing and it was sultry, and the ice basin in the house was useless. Qingbi took a fan to dispel Yingxiu's heat, and on the table was iced sour plum soup from the kitchen, "Take this to Mother Qiao, Baoqin, follow me to Xiangheyuan." Yingxiu asked Qingbi to put the sour plum soup into the food box, and when she left the house, the heat of summer rushed towards her face.

Xiangheyuan is really one person now, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, originally there were only three maids in the courtyard, but now there are as many as six or seven maids, and there are three serving the young master.

The seven-month-old child already knew how to recognize people. Yingxiu put him on the couch with a thin mat underneath. The little guy kicked his legs and sat down, holding a rattle in his hand, playing there contentedly with.

This child was raised by Aunt Kong very well. She was not small when she was born. She has never suffered from any illnesses since she grew up. Watching the children, but after watching the children here at night, most of them will stay overnight when it is not early, and Mrs. Shen's past arrangements are now too numerous to count.

"Auntie's complexion is much better." Yingxiu stretched out her hand, and Qiwen also stretched out her small fat hand to hold her hand, trying to stuff it into her mouth. Auntie Kong hurriedly pulled back his hand and hugged the child in her arms. Between his legs, "Drag this child's blessing."

Shen Heye is not a lustful person, as there are only two aunts in Shen's house, it can be seen, but Aunt Kong is somewhat younger than Madam Shen, it is impossible to come to Xiangheyuan to stay overnight without doing anything, Yingxiu looked at it Seeing Aunt Kong's radiant face, "Then Auntie must raise my younger brother well."

Aunt Kong was taken aback, and a look of joy flashed in her eyes. What does the eldest lady mean, can this child stay in the Xianghe Courtyard to be raised by herself?
"If you want to raise this child yourself, Auntie can't conceive a child now, otherwise I'm afraid that Auntie will be unable to do this upbringing." Yingxiu reminded lightly, breaking Aunt Kong's mind.

People are always like this. Once they get something, they will become more and more dissatisfied. After giving birth to a child, Aunt Kong wants to take advantage of the master's arrival to try to conceive another child. Having more children means that she There is support in Shen's residence, but there are so many things in the world that can have both, and want to conceive a child, but also want to keep the son by his side.

Once Concubine Kong becomes pregnant again, the child will definitely be raised in Mrs. Shen's yard. At that time, life or death will not matter. It is certain that it will not be raised well. With Mrs. Shen's measure, how can someone divide her son? s things.

"Missy is right." Aunt Kong answered the words in a nonchalant manner, with a blush on her cheeks. Yingxiu looked at her younger brother who was fussing in Aunt Kong's arms, her eyes softened a little. She just kindly reminded Aunt Kong that this Shen's residence is not her home either. She has repaid the kindness of nurturing that people said to Shen Heye in her previous life, and she no longer owes him anything in this life.

"Then auntie, rest well." Yingxiu came out of Xiangheyuan, and on the way back, she met Qiao's mother who came out to look for her, and Yingxiu affectionately helped her to go to Yun Academy, "Qiao's mother has something to ask Xiu'er directly. Just tell the girl to come and find it."

"Miss, you are about to get married. Mother Qiao has nothing to give you. This was given to me by the second lady before. I will pass it on to you now." Mother Qiao took out an oval-shaped jade pendant from her bosom with trembling hands. , there are carved patterns on it, and a beautiful lotus is faintly revealed.

"How is this possible? Mother gave it to Qiao's mother. I know that Qiao's mother used to be famous for making dim sum. Why don't Qiao's mother teach Ping'er this skill and follow Xiu'er to Nanyang Hou's mansion, okay?" " Yingxiu took the hand of Qiao's mother and stuffed the jade pendant back. In her previous life, Qiao's mother died very early. Firstly, she was overworked, and secondly, she heard that she was not doing well in Shen's residence, and her health became worse when she was sad.

"I'm old, so I won't bother you any more, and I'll stay here to guard my wife." Seeing that she refused to accept it anyway, Qiao's mother took the jade pendant back, "If Miss likes to eat things made by my old lady , I can teach Ping'er."

"Then how can it be!" Yingxiu pulled Mama Qiao's wrist roguely, "Ping'er is very stupid, how can she learn it in such a short time, Mama Qiao will go with me, Nanyang Hou's mansion is unfamiliar, How could Mother Qiao be willing to let her son be wronged there?"

"Miss, you are hurt by my uncle, how can you be wronged, I am an old bone, it would be good if I don't make trouble for you." Qiao's mother was beaten to the ground by her, Yingxiu refused, "I don't care, I will Ai Qiao's mother made me mess up!"

As long as she leaves Shen's residence, Mrs. Shen will definitely clean up the maids she didn't take away. Mother Qiao may not have a good life here. Yingxiu doesn't want her mother's nanny to die in the same way as in her previous life.

"Okay, okay, my eldest lady, if you shake it again, I will let you shake my old bones to pieces." Yingxiu hurriedly gave her hand, and smiled, "Then mother Qiao will follow Xiu'er together." Go to Qiao's house, so Xiu'er can eat the snacks made by Qiao's mother every day."

Qiao's mother looked at Yingxiu helplessly, "If Madam can see it, I must keep Miss safe."

After seeing off Mother Qiao, Qingbi came in and talked to Yingxiu about the warehouse. It was the same as in the previous life. Mrs. Shen was moved by her mother's dowry. What has not changed in this life is that her father still agreed. , Yingxiu took out the dowry list that she copied earlier in the morning and read it again and again, "I'm curious about what things my mother withheld."

"Miss, do you want to notify Mrs. Qiao immediately?"

"No, wait a little longer." Yingxiu shook her head, "Cousin and the others haven't come yet to get married." She must wait for the best time, and even if it happened to the Shen family, she would let Tang Wan know, It was something she embroidered by Shen Ying, and she was going to take it all away, and not leave anything behind for them!
As the hot summer passed, Yingxiu stayed at home quietly and never went out. Occasionally, she would receive gifts from Qi Haoming, with letters written by him attached to them. Qi Haoming talked about ordinary things. After rebuilding, I asked her what kind of yard she liked, and asked her if she could build a room like the one in the tea house in the yard for tea making.

In this letter, Qi Haoming mentioned again that he found the granddaughter of a nanny who used to serve Mrs. Qi Lao Hou Ye very interesting, silly and cute, and took her from the big kitchen, and later she will be a maid for Yingxiu , must be able to make her happy.

Those things told about everything around him bit by bit. Qi Haoming used his way to let Yingxiu know that he wanted to share everything with her. This was like the initial feeling of a lover. You know, even if it is just a few dozen words in a letter, or an inconspicuous and worthless little thing, you can understand the meaning in it.

This is the first time in her life that she has experienced such a feeling. From the panic at the beginning to the calmness now, this man's scheming actually made her feel unafraid...

Autumn went to the east, and when the first heavy snow fell, Yingxiu realized that another year was about to pass. At the end of December, Zhuge Yuxin gave birth to the eldest daughter of Nanyang Marquis Mansion. The one who was most disappointed was Qi Haosheng.

Liu Xu'er was standing under the eaves, and inside the room was the sound of Tweety coaxing the children to sing softly. She looked at the wind and snow all over the sky, and the days when she entered the Nanyang Hou's Mansion were just like this snowy day, with no end in sight.

Seeing Zhuge Yuxin for the first time, even if Liu Xuer refuses to admit defeat, she has to admit that this is the woman who can preside over the entire Nanyang Marquis Mansion. But her request is not much, she doesn't extravagantly ask for the position of the concubine, she just wants to stay by Qi Haosheng's side and live a simple life.

The children in the room suddenly started crying, Liu Xuer came back to her senses and hurried into the room, Tweety and the nanny were hugging and coaxing each other, Liu Xuer rubbed her hands and took the child from Tweety's hands, shaking her body gently coaxing.

"Hey, don't cry, don't cry, Daddy will come to see you soon, don't cry, when you can call Daddy, he will come to see you~"...

In the Nanyang Hou Mansion, Zhuge Yuxin was lying on the bed, looking sideways at the child beside her, liking it very much, she raised her head and asked Yan Zhi, "Didn't you say that Dad sent a letter, show it to me."

Yan Zhi sent the letter up, Zhuge Yuxin opened it, and his face darkened, "Father is really impatient, just after giving birth to the first child, so I was in a hurry to put a younger sister in, the two sisters work together, thanks to his thinking Come out." Prince Qing wrote in his heart that when he learned that she had given birth to a daughter, in order to avoid her unstable position, he sent a younger sister from his aunt to be a concubine, so that even if the child was born by the younger sister, she could If you directly hug them and raise them, they are also related by blood.

"Miss Fourteen is the only unmarried lady left in Prince Qing's Mansion." Yan Zhi helped her burn the letter, a little in disbelief.

Zhuge Yuxin lay back, and moved her body carefully for her daughter, "Isn't it my lovely fourteenth sister, she is of the same type as Miss Liu, it's okay, if the world son likes it, it's better than It’s better to always run outside.” Withdrawing his emotions, Zhuge Yuxin stretched out his hand to tease his daughter, and asked casually, “Is there any news from Beijuuna?”

"I heard that I saw someone similar, but I'm not sure. At the beginning of the year, I left the pass and went to Beijue, and I haven't returned yet." Yanzhi looked at her young lady carefully, and saw Zhuge Yuxin's face moved, and sighed. He breathed a sigh of relief, "No news is the best news, at least it means that he is out of Dad's sight."
