Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 75

Zhuge Yutong watched Yingxiu walk away slowly, the expression on his face gradually turned cold, he turned and asked the maid behind him, "Where is Aunt Xiang?"

"Miss, I heard that Aunt Xiang accidentally slipped in the yard yesterday, and she is still lying on the bed." Zhuge Yutong clenched his loose fists again, "Go find a nanny for me."

Yingxiu returned to Tingfeng Courtyard, and she really felt a little tired. In the afternoon, there was a news from Sanfang that Bailishi's stomach had started to attack. After Mrs. Hou sent someone there, she went to the hospital in person at night. I went to look at it, and in the middle of the night, Bailishi gave birth to a son safely, this is the first eldest son of Sanfang, the third wife, Baishi was very happy, and greatly rewarded the woman who delivered the baby and the servants.

When she got up the next day, Yingxiu asked Qingbi to prepare a congratulatory gift, and on Xisan she took Yang Nanny and Qingbi to Sanfang's.

When we returned to Tingfeng Courtyard, some unexpected guests came. Mrs. Shen waited in the side hall with Yinghui. Yingxiu changed her clothes in the room and asked Baoqin to let Pinger cook some food. , and then took Qingbi to the side hall together.

Mrs. Shen has long been a little impatient of waiting. From Yingxiu's marriage to now, Yingxiu went back to Shen's house on the day she returned home, and she went back at the beginning of the year, but she didn't stay overnight, and Mrs. Shen never came to see her.

"Mother, why do you come here when you have time?" Qingbi supported Yingxiu and walked slowly into the side hall, as if she hadn't seen Yinghui for a long time, and she grew up a lot, just looking at Yingxiu's eyes, It's getting a little more complicated.

"If I don't come to see you again, you won't forget that the Shen family is your natal family." Mrs. Shen felt very glaring when she saw her swollen belly. If she had known that Qi Haoming would give birth, she shouldn't have been so happy back then. She readily agreed to this marriage, not to mention some of her own dowry, even the dowry gift from Nanyang Marquis was reduced by half.

"Mother's words are serious. Now that I am heavy, it is really inconvenient to go back." Yingxiu sat opposite Mrs. Shen, and after a while, she came in with some food in her arms. Yinghui kept staring at Yingxiu's Looking at the belly, it seems that some don't believe that the eldest sister really has a child.

An 11-year-old girl should know everything she needs to know. In the past two years, Mrs. Shen has spent a lot of time teaching her how to manage the house, but she has developed a temperament since she was a child, and she will not be able to change it even if she wants to. Yingxiu gets married Mrs. Shen fell ill that time, and her body collapsed a little more. The doctor said that it would be impossible to conceive in the future, so Mrs. Shen became stricter with Shen Qizhi.

"Sister, does this child belong to my brother-in-law?" Yinghui stared at it for a while, and finally asked. Didn't mother say that her brother-in-law is paralyzed and unable to give birth, and her sister is married to be a widow? , Is it my brother-in-law?

"Second miss, there are some things you can't talk nonsense, the child in the miss's belly is naturally my uncle's!" Baoqin put down the plate heavily and said loudly, Mrs. Shen who was standing next to her was startled, and she was about to start scolding when she thought of this It was Nanyang Hou's Mansion, not Shen's Mansion, so he swallowed those words back, and could only give Baoqin a bitter look.

"It's not you I'm asking, why are you interrupting!" Yinghui was not happy about the sudden interruption, and gave Baoqin an angry look. She said so in front of her, tomorrow will be her married husband's family, what should be said and what should not be said, Mrs. Shen has taught her for more than ten years and still hasn't taught her to the church.

Mrs. Shen saw the sarcasm in Yingxiu's eyes, and pinched Yinghui bitterly. Yinghui was about to refute, but when she saw the warning in her mother's eyes, she pursed her mouth and didn't say anything. She picked up the cup beside her and drank it. After taking a sip of tea, she placed the cup heavily on the tea tray, and Mrs. Shen's face became even uglier when she heard that sound.

"I came back this time because I want you to take Yinghui out for a walk when you are free." Since the Shen family swallowed the dowry incident, the number of times Mrs. Shen was invited to go out has decreased significantly. Some of the good female relatives are unwilling to associate with her anymore. Seeing that Yinghui's age is slowly going up, and she doesn't go out much when she is 11 years old, Mrs. Shen began to marry her.

Yingxiu is familiar with Zhuge Yuxin, and because of Qi Haoming's relationship with Princess Ding, she often walks between Shangguan Mansion and Qiao's house. She knows more and better people than Mrs. Shen. If she can bring Yinghui Go out and walk together, maybe you can meet a lot of people, and it is possible to fall in love with them.

"Yinghui is not only 11 years old. It seems a little early to take her out for a walk now." Usually, her mother will take her out for a walk after she is 12 years old, and she knows more people. I don't go out very often."

"There is a banquet in Prince Ding's Mansion. You can bring Yinghui over there to meet her. Yingxiu, Yinghui is your younger sister. As your older sister, you have to watch over her future marriage." Mrs. Shen Suddenly, his attitude changed drastically, and he looked at Yingxiu very sincerely.

"Mother was joking, and even if you are with her, it's not my elder sister's turn to make the decision for her." Yingxiu smiled and evaded, "Besides, you can't just go to the banquet at Dingwang's Palace."

Mrs. Shen also expected that it would not be so easy for her to agree. According to Mrs. Tang's instruction, Yinghui was sent to live for a few days, and Yingxiu would naturally take her out for a walk. Now let me remind you, there is a mentality Prepare.

"Now the Shen family is the best one to marry you. You are the elder sister. You still have to worry about the marriage of the younger siblings." Mrs. Shen said with sincerity, as if Yingxiu would be ungrateful if she didn't plan for them. The Shen family, isn't she afraid of choosing a bad one for her precious daughter?

"My cousin married much better than me. It's inconvenient for my husband to have no official position. It's really not such a big face. My cousin's husband has already entered the Imperial Academy. Mother, you should ask her." Yingxiu endured There was no direct black face, there was a quarrel here, and it was her fault that it spread.

After sending off Mrs. Shen in the afternoon, Yingxiu felt even more tired. After a night of sleep, the sky was a bit dark when she woke up. The third room was bustling for several days. There are several rooms in the Qi family. No.

September [-]th is the ancestor worship day in Nanyang Houfu. The backyard of Nanyang Houfu is the big ancestral hall of the Qi family. On the morning of September [-]th, as soon as the time comes, the temple will be opened for worship. Nanyanghou finished offering incense Afterwards, he handed the incense to the eldest son Qi Haosheng behind him, and after offering sacrifices to the ancestral tablet, the invited master opened the altar to offer sacrifices.

The first-class female relatives were all standing in the yard, facing the open altar outside the door of the ancestral hall, several priests in yellow and black Taoist robes held mahogany swords and chanted scriptures in front of the altar.

"Kneel." One of the masters suddenly shouted. Nanyang Hou took the lead and knelt down with three sticks of incense in his hand, and the family members behind him all knelt down. Hearing the master's muttering, Qingbi hurriedly helped Yingxiu up.

There are many family members in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, and this one kneels down and the people get a little confused. Qingbi protects Yingxiu and backs away. Before she can get to the back, the master yelled to kneel again, and everyone knelt down. Goodbye again.

The heir of Nanyanghou stayed on the other side. Qi Haoming sat in the wheelchair without kneeling, and he clearly saw the expression of some effort on the part of Yingxiu, and whispered a few words to Zhuo Ye behind him, and then raised his head Looking up, eyes pious.

After kneeling twice, Yingxiu was already sweating a little. The Nanyang Hou Mansion held the annual sacrifice, and even Bailishi, who was still confinement for a few days, came over. Yingxiu had no reason to say that she couldn't come to worship. She fell ill in bed and really couldn't get up, so she didn't participate. Qingbi took out her handkerchief and wiped her sweat, "Miss, why don't you tell Madam, you go to rest first."

"Don't go, I'll provoke criticism from others, just wait a while, just sit quietly after the meeting, and then I'll talk to my mother." Yingxiu gasped for breath, stood for a long time, stood up together, The body really can't bear it.

After several masters practiced, the last talisman was burned, and Yingxiu was about to kneel down for the last obeisance, when Qingbi behind her was pushed hard. Seeing that the lady was about to kneel down, she was about to pounce On her body, Qingbi's foot sprained, a sideways arm hit Yingxiu's shoulder, and her body fell on the person behind Yingxiu.

A few screams resounded in the crowd, Yingxiu was hit by Qingbi on the shoulder, but her knees hurt a little, she put her hands on the mat to protect her stomach from being pressed down, and Nanny Yang rushed over at the back. At that time, the people who were crushed by Qingbi had squeezed into the people next to her, and several people in a row staggered and fell down.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden accident. Mrs. Hou and Zhuge Yuxin in front looked at the back and fell into a ball, while Yingxiu struggled to hold on, trying not to let others squeeze her. It was hard to squeeze in, and I was stumbled by someone, and my heavy body just fell on a concubine.

The scene became chaotic for a while, Qi Haoming saw all this from the opposite side, and immediately stood up, his fourth uncle Qi Zhongzhou coughed fiercely beside his ears, Qi Haoming came back to his senses, and just walked away He took a step, pretending to be unsteady, and fell to the side. Qi Zhongzhou quickly supported him.

The person Qingbi crushed was the aunt in the brocade bamboo courtyard. The aunt fell unsteadily to the side as soon as Qingbi pressed her down. Following the trend, several aunts who were about to kneel down all fell down, even with her Zhuge Yutong was knocked down.

When Zhuo Ye arrived to protect Yingxiu, Zhuge Yutong was hugging her stomach and screaming, Qingbi finally got up and looked back to see that the person who pushed her was struggling to go to Zhuge Yutong behind her. Walking in Yutong's direction, Qingbi stretched out her foot towards the maid with her hands on her waist, and the maid flew towards her.

When the aunts who were about to get up saw someone rushing towards them, they had no time to hide, and the maid fell directly on Zhuge Yutong's body, pressing on her lap.

Qi Zhongyang's face was extremely ugly, the annual ancestor worship turned out like this, Zhuge Yutong was still screaming while protecting his stomach, Zhuge Yuxin walked over and pulled her up, the maids around Zhuge Yutong hurriedly He came over to support her, crushed her leg and was frightened, Zhuge Yutong clutched her stomach with a pale complexion, suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen, and passed out directly.

Yingxiu was sweating hard here, and Zhuo Ye, together with Nanny Yang and Qingbi who caught up later, surrounded her tightly, "Miss, are you okay, are you hurt?"

Yingxiu shook her head and stood up, which didn't interrupt the Master's practice. Qi Haoming had already knelt down and prostrated three times. Qi Zhongzhou struggled to help Qi Haoming back to the wheelchair. Qi Haoming stood up too hastily just now. Now I can only pretend to lean on.

It is really unknown that such an accident happened during the ancestor worship. Qi Zhongyang's complexion became worse and worse when he heard the master say, only to see the master say that there will be changes in the family.
