Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 49

When Yingxiu woke up, it was dawn, and the arm resting on the pillow under her neck reminded her that all this was not a dream, she could see Qi Haoming's face a little bit shyly.

There was Qingbi's knock on the door, and Yingxiu gently pushed Qi Haoming awake, "Sir, it's time to get up." As soon as he got up, he was pulled into his arms, and Qi Haoming buried his head in her arms He muttered, "Morning lady."

Yingxiu suddenly remembered the way he pleased her last night, her cheeks blushed again involuntarily, she pulled up the curtain and called Qingbi to come in, and patted him on the shoulder, "I have to offer tea in the morning."

Now that they are married, it is inconvenient for Zhuo Ye to come in to help him change clothes. Yingxiu asked Rui Zhu to come over and change his clothes for him. Tent took a look at the clean white cloth, put the white cloth on the tray beside him, and asked Baoqin to take it out.

"Miss, did you and uncle consummate your marriage last night?" Yan's mother leaned into Yingxiu's ear and asked softly, Yingxiu nodded, "Well, my husband has trouble with his legs and feet, so that's why."

Yan's mother's heart tightened, and she felt wronged for Yingxiu. The inconvenience in her legs and feet was so serious that she couldn't even go to the bridal chamber. How will the young lady live in the future.

Yingxiu saw the worry of Yan's mother, smiled and patted her hand, "It's okay nanny, Xiu'er knows it well."

Ziyan came in and combed her hair, and the group went to Mrs. Hou Yehou's yard. At this time, it was not long after the sun was shining, and there were many people sitting in the hall. Zhuo Ye pushed Qi Haoming into the hall and retreated After going out, a woman whispered something in Madam Hou's ear. Madam Hou's complexion changed, she glanced at Yingxiu, and whispered something to Master Hou again.

At this time Qingbi came up with a tea tray, Yingxiu took the tea in her hand, knelt down in front of Qi Zhongyang, "Father, please drink tea."

Qi Zhongyang glanced at his son with a complicated expression, took a sip from the cup in Yingxiu's hand, took a red envelope from the table beside her and put it in her hand and said in harmony, "From now on, you and Haoming will be husband and wife, and you want to be married to each other. Support and live a good life."

Yingxiu nodded, "Daughter-in-law follows father's instruction."

After respecting Mrs. Hou Xu, from the left hand side is Zhuge Yuxin, the wife of the eldest son of the Qi family. Behind Zhuge Yuxin is a woman who looks like a nanny, holding a five-month-old baby girl in her hand. Zhuge Yuxin took the tea in Yingxiu's hand, took a sip, and took a brocade box from the table beside her.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Yingxiu handed the brocade box to Qingbi who was behind her, offered tea to Lian Shi, and got to know all the female relatives present. Yingxiu also took out her embroidery pieces and gave them to them.

There are a lot of people living in Nanyang Marquis Mansion, because the old Marquis did not separate the family according to the order of the old Marquis. Except for the courtyard of the third room, which is vacant, the rest of the two houses live in the Marquis Mansion. In Nanyang Hou Changfang, except Qi Haosheng It was born by the first wife, Qi Haoming was born by the second wife, and the third was born by the fifth young master Qi Haozhi and the second daughter Qi Luhua of Nanyang Houfu. In addition, Nanyang Hou also had some concubines. Attendants and concubines and concubines, dozens of people counting maids and mothers-in-law, hundreds of people in the entire Nanyang Hou Mansion are all managed by Mrs. Xu's housekeeper.

Every month, each room receives the monthly silver from the public house, and then allocates it by itself in the yard. The maid who goes to the kitchen to get the food box during the daily meal and dinner will bring back the order list for the next day by the way. When the food box is taken back, it is taken to the kitchen.

Yingxiu listened to the mother specially sent by Mrs. Hou, looked at the keys on the table, and asked Qingbi to serve some tea, "Mother He, take a rest, it's not too late to have a cup of tea. "

Mama He is the natural mother Xu brought from her natal family, and she is one of the most capable mothers under her command. Seeing that Yingxiu was so polite to her and didn't push her, she picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp and continued, "Thank you two For Grandma’s tea, these keys were replaced after Tingfeng Courtyard was renovated, Madam will send some maids and mother-in-law to Second Grandma later, so that Second Grandma can familiarize herself with the rules of the Hou Mansion as soon as possible.”

Yingxiu smiled and didn't mind her words, "Then I'll thank Mama He, Baoqin, and send Mama He out." Baoqin took Mama He out of the house, and Yingxiu put away her smile. Her mother's attitude towards her today is much more polite than when she married Qi Haosheng back then, presumably because the second young master's power in the mansion doesn't matter much, Mrs. Hou doesn't care much, so she is naturally willing to sell Lord Hou's face.

In the afternoon, the maids that Mama He had mentioned came over, and there was also a mother called from Mrs. Hou's yard. Yingxiu placed that mother alone, and the rest of the maids were handed over to Mama Qiao.

When it was time for dinner, Yingxiu assigned the big and small affairs of Tingfeng Courtyard. There were five personal servant girls by her side including Ruizhu, so she brought up the older Qingbi to manage the general manager by her side. As for the affairs, Mama Qiao is getting old, so Mama Yan and Mama Zhang called by Madam Hou will be in charge of the affairs in Tingfeng Courtyard.

When Qiao Haoming came back, it was already dark. After the two of them had dinner, Qiao Haoming handed a new bunch of keys to Yingxiu, "Did Mama He from Mother's side give you a bunch of keys?" Keys, I changed some locks and this is new."

"Then this is?" There are two small keys next to the whole bunch of keys, Qiao Haoming pointed to the smaller one and said, "This is the key for the accountant of Tingfeng Courtyard, this one was given to me by Dad in the afternoon, It’s my mother’s dowry warehouse, which contains my mother’s dowry and the things my ancestors gave me back then, and you will take someone to clean it up.” When Qi Haoming’s mother, Mrs. Zhong, passed away, all the dowry was locked. He got up and left it to Qi Haoming. Mrs. Hou Ye took him there and loved him very much. When she passed away, she left him a lot of things. Nanyang Hou has kept these things in person these years until he got married. Afterwards, the keys were handed back to him.

Yingxiu raised her head and looked at him, a little surprised, Qi Haoming showed a bit of aggrieved expression after finishing speaking, "Now all my wealth is handed over to you, lady, so you have to be responsible to my husband and me, lady."

Ying Xiuchi let out a laugh, this really expected what Lian Shi said at the time, the young couple can live with only the dowry of two people.

Qi Haoming looked at the touching smile on her face, and then showed a touch of comfort. Tingfeng Courtyard is the simplest courtyard in the entire Houfu. He has no house and no concubines, and the entire courtyard is just the two masters. Originally, there were not many serving people around him, but now most of the people in Tingfeng Courtyard are married by Yingxiu.

After a while, Zhuo Ye brought in the medicine, and Yingxiu suggested after watching him drink it, "How about I send a more steady servant girl to follow Zhuo Ye to cook the medicine, how can he be busy by himself? "

"Unavoidable complications, Zhuo Ye alone is enough. Brother Jinze and the Seventh Prince went to Luzhou, which is not far from the place that the fourth brother said. If it gets better quickly, it will take about three years." Qi Haoming pulled her towards her. Baoqin and Ruizhu backed out and closed the door, Yingxiu pushed him to the bedside and was about to call someone in, Qi Haoming grabbed her hand and supported the edge of the bed with one hand, trembling stood up.

Yingxiu hurriedly supported his arm so that he didn't fall down. When she supported him to lean on the bed, a layer of cold sweat had already formed on his forehead. Qi Haoming smiled wryly, and held her to wipe the sweat "I'm really too impatient."

"Don't worry, it's good to be able to do this now." Yingxiu wiped the sweat off his forehead with a smile, "Cousin and the others are in Luzhou, if they are short of medicine, they can bring it here for you."

"I just want to wrong you, but there are rumors outside that you married an incompetent husband, and your life will be ruined." As soon as Qi Haoming said this Yingxiu, he remembered his reaction yesterday. This is not considered incompetent, and he lowered his head Squeezing away the shyness in his eyes, Yingxiu helped him put a cushion on his back, "I'm not wronged, they say theirs, okay, I just know it myself."

As soon as the words fell, he pulled her into his arms, Qi Haoming hugged her tightly, Yingxiu patted his back lightly, as long as the person in front of him is good, he suffered for himself in the last life For the rest of her life, no matter how much others said, how could she believe it.

"Tell me about the Nanyang Marquis Mansion." After leaning in his arms for a long time, Yingxiu finally made a sound. Qi Haoming kissed her heavily on the forehead, pulled her to lean against him and said, "What are you doing today?" I also saw that the second uncle and the others also live in the mansion, the third uncle and the others come back once a year, the fourth uncle is not yet married, and travels all over the world all day long, becoming an idle doctor. Finding those precious medicinal materials back, I am afraid that my life will not survive now."

Yingxiu held his hand on his chest and said softly, "And then?"

"Brother, you probably know the situation. If the eldest son has not yet been born, the position of the eldest son may become unstable." Qi Haoming's eyes flashed sharply, but Yingxiu was a little surprised in her heart. In her previous life, she did not give birth to an eldest son, but Qi Haosheng took Liu Xu'er's two children into the house to raise them. Until the year of her death, Qi Haosheng still sat in that position.

"As a sister-in-law, there should be no change."

"It is precisely because of the status of sister-in-law. Do you know that the current government is unstable, and Prince Qing wishes that our Nanyang Houfu can stand beside the Ninth Prince like him." These past Yingxiu knows better than Qi Haoming. Because Shizi's wife is her, Nanyang Hou's government will not be involved much when the government changes drastically.

"In this Hou's mansion, the second aunt already has a direct grandson, and even the third brother born by Aunt Hu already has a son. If the eldest brother has never had an eldest son, the father will also be under pressure." Qi Hao Ming said indifferently, all of this seems to have nothing to do with him at present, in this Marquis Mansion, no matter who it is, he is the one with the least competitiveness.

Then if his leg is healed, Yingxiu was startled, and suddenly understood his intentions, if he told Nanyang Hou now that his leg could be cured, the shortest period would be three years, and the longest period would be five years, then Ting Feng The courtyard will be brought to the forefront, Yingxiu knows very well who will lose in the battle for the throne, and it will be very difficult for Qi Haoming to live in peace and stability at that time.

Just like how he was victimized back then...
