Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 80

After returning from Prince Ding's Mansion, Yingxiu is also busy preparing for the New Year's gift. From Shen's Qiao's house, all parties in Nanyang Hou's Mansion, Shangguan and General's Mansion of Prince Ding's Mansion, etc., the gift list is also full. In a row, Zhuo Ye sent out the Yingxiu that had already been delivered in a similar amount in return. For those who left like the Qiao family, everything was prepared by Yingxiu herself.

Baoqin directed the two servant girls to bring in a box of things, and said to Yingxiu who was counting, "Miss, this was sent from the Seventh Prince's residence, and it was said to be for the young master to play with."

"Put that first." Yingxiu checked the rest according to the list, and asked Qingbi to send it to Zhuo Yedu who was waiting at the gate, so that she would have time to see what the Seventh Prince sent over.

Su Lin brought the barbarian little princess over and placed him directly in the mansion. The envoy sent by the emperor should have arrived in Luzhou by this time. The emperor had a very strong opinion on the matter of them living together as unmarried, so the barbarian little princess came before the Chinese New Year. For a few days, they moved to Prince Ding's Mansion until they got married.

Open the box, there are three layers of grids inside, take out the bottom layer, there are some books, and two short swords, on the top are some hanging beads, and on the top are some things for children to play with, I don't know where he collected them, some things are so strange that I have never seen them before.

After finally sending all the gift lists, on the eve of the New Year’s Eve, the Nanyang Hou’s Mansion had a reunion dinner, and the Nanyang Hou also announced the timing of opening the spring house. Male or female, Nanyang Hou formally separates the family, but only separates the family and does not pass on the throne.

"Separation doesn't mean that we won't contact each other in the future. During the Chinese New Year, we still have to go back here for reunion dinner. This is the rule set by the older generation, and you all know it."

"As for how to divide the family, we can talk about it when the shrine is opened." Nanyang Hou sat down after speaking, and everyone's expressions were very strange, especially at Qi Haocheng's table. Unexpectedly, when the old Marquis presided over the division of the family, he passed the title to Qi Zhongyang, and Qi Zhongyang said openly and honestly today that the division of the family does not pass the title, which is tantamount to confirming what everyone guessed at the beginning. The Hou position was passed on to the eldest son.

Yingxiu lowered her head and raised her eyelids slightly. Many people focused their attention on Qi Haoming. Qi Haoming casually served Yingxiu with vegetables, as if he hadn't heard Nanyanghou's announcement, and only focused on Yingxiu What did you eat, and are you full?

Yingxiu didn't think so, if Nanyanghou really wanted to hand over the Nanyanghou mansion to Qi Haoming, he wouldn't let Tingfengyuan become an arrow target here, she really loves her son, how could she be willing to drag him into such a dangerous place In this situation, no matter who the Nanyang Hou Mansion is called to, they must move out first.

After the reunion dinner, Nanyang Hou left behind a few younger brothers and sons. Yingxiu hurried back to Tingfeng Courtyard with Ruizhu. She was not worried about Qi Haoming having Zhuo Ye by his side. There might be some movement in the courtyard, but when she walked into the back room and saw her son's cute sleeping sound, Yingxiu was relieved.

Standing under the eaves and watching the fireworks in the sky, Baoqin took a cloak and put it on Yingxiu, "Miss, it's cold outside, let's go in."

Yingxiu shook her head, "Dumplings are being made in the small kitchen, you can go there too."

"There are a lot of them, so I'll just stay here with Miss." Baoqin tied the belt for her, and stood together under the eaves, surrounded by the sound of fireworks blooming into the sky, another year, Yingxiu Taking a look at the immature Baoqin, she should worry about the marriage of these girls.

It was already late at night when Qi Haoming came back, Yingxiu half leaned on the couch, and on the table were freshly cooked dumplings, "You're hungry, come and eat some."

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Qi Haoming got up from the wheelchair, took the crutches, propped himself up and walked slowly towards her, Yingxiu got off the couch and helped him sit down, "I'm not sleepy."

There was already a circle of faint bruises under her eyes and she said she was not sleepy. Qi Haoming knew that she was worried about herself. After eating five or six dumplings, he asked Baoqin to remove all the dishes, "You are not sleepy, I am sleepy, accompany me Sleep for your husband."

"Have you ever mentioned to your father that we are going to move out too?" Yingxiu took off his coat for him, and helped him to the bedside. "It seems that I don't want to listen to what my father said today."

"At first my father disagreed, but my fourth uncle helped me say a few words."

"What about elder brother?" Yingxiu nestled in his arms and felt drowsy, Qi Haoming smiled, "How could he disagree, if we still live in Nanyang Marquis Mansion, he is probably the most uneasy person. "

Yingxiu swallowed the words she was about to ask. She actually suspected that Qi Haoming's falling into the water had something to do with Qi Haosheng. A child's jealousy can turn into too many things, which belong to her Things, under the constant instigation and rumors of others, aroused the desire to destroy.

Qi Haoming stroked her long hair, "Go to sleep."

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Nanyang Hou brought Mrs. Hou's son and his concubine into the palace. The snow finally stopped after the new year, and the courtyard was still covered with snow. In the Jinzhu courtyard, Zhuge Yutong was about to give birth. At this moment, her mind is not on the child who is about to be born, but on what Nanyang Hou announced last night.

If Nanyang Hou hadn't passed on the throne to Qi Haosheng when the family separated, then even if the child in her womb was raised under the name of her elder sister, there would be no possibility of becoming a prince for the time being. In case the elder sister becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son, then this child will have no chance of being the son of the eldest son.

"Miss, Mrs. Shizi ordered before leaving that Miss should not go to the courtyards, but just stay in the house at ease, so as not to move her fetus." A maid's report at the door interrupted her thoughts. Zhuge Yutong nodded and lay down again. will be in bed.

They came back from Nanyang Hou in the afternoon. Although they live in one family, each courtyard is still responsible for the friendship matters. After the first and second day of junior high school, Qi Haoming brought Yingxiu back to Shen's house.

She only saw Shen Heye once a year, and Yingxiu didn't feel that much anymore, but Mrs. Shen still seemed to have expectations for her. If it wasn't for Cousin Jinze who was much older than Yinghui, Mrs. Shen would think him nice too. .

"Your sister's marriage, you know so many people in the Hou's mansion, help her see more, and you can also take her out for a walk, if you get married, you can't even find your mother's family." Shen Heye spoke in a quite tone There was a bit of preaching in it, Yingxiu frowned slightly and was about to refuse, Qi Haoming next to her was the first to say, "Father-in-law, although everyone in the Hou's mansion knows each other, they are all married, third brother I've already made an appointment."

Shen Heye looked at Qi Haoming's tepid talk, with a somewhat uneasy expression on his face, no matter what, he was his father-in-law, so it really didn't make him feel good to refuse so bluntly.

When Mrs. Shen wanted to bring it up again, she asked Yingxiu to change the subject directly. Aunt Kong was lucky enough to be pregnant with her second child, and she is now in confinement. What troubles Mrs. Shen more is that this second child is still a son.

After lunch at Shen's house, she still didn't stay overnight. In the afternoon, Yingxiu and Qi Haoming went back to Nanyang Hou's Mansion, went to Qiao's house and then went to Ding Wang's Mansion.

There is a Lantern Festival in Hefang, the capital city. At this time of the year, when Xuerong coincides, many ladies in the boudoirs will take their maids out for a stroll. Yingxiu looks down from the window on the third floor. The whole street is brightly lit, and there are many people in every stall for guessing lantern riddles, and a stage is set up at the end of Hefang Street to hold poems, which is very lively.

Suddenly there were a few quick steps beside the ear, and the door of the box was pulled open. Jin Lu stood at the door, looked at the people sitting in the box, and said pantingly, "Second brother, why are you still here? Taiwan and that are already compared, and our academy is about to lose." Qiao Jinlu wanted to drag Jinze to a poetry meeting, Yingxiu smiled, "Cousin is no longer in the academy, Jinlu, you are cheating."

"Why don't you count, the second brother was also from our academy before, and he was invited to take the top spot in this year's scientific examination over there. If you don't come here again, the second brother, we will lose miserably." Jin Lu looked at him pitifully. But Ze looked at Qi Haoming, "Speaking of the top spot in the scientific examination, it won't be as good as your third cousin's husband."

"Cousin, do you have the heart to watch us lose?" Qiao Jinlu didn't look at Qi Haoming, but directly looked at Yingxiu. Qi Haozhi couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud.

Yingxiu paused for a moment, until Jin Lu asked to ask again, then nodded slowly, "Just go for a while."

As soon as the words fell, Jinlu ran down, and Yingxiu saw him running towards the stage from the upstairs, dumbfounded, and got up to join everyone, and went to the vicinity of the stage.

It was meant to be fun, but every time people from two academies collide, it will always turn into a battle for honor. Which academie loses, and any discussions throughout the year will be ridiculed, so Qiao Jinlu So nervous about winning or losing.

Qi Haoming used to have a reputation as a gifted scholar. When he was in the academy with Qiao Jinze, he was almost unmatched in poetry. The students in Nanshan Academy were soon defeated, and more and more people surrounded him. The poem ended with Qiao Jinze's reciprocal poem, which aroused cheers from the audience.

A few days after returning from watching the Lantern Festival, the Qiao family had a lot of people coming to say goodbye. Yingxiu heard Qi Haoming imitating his cousin's injustice, covering his mouth and smiling, "I know you have no good intentions, what?" In the end, I let my cousin go because I want him to show off and get married early, right?"

Qi Haoming smiled innocently, "Being entrusted by others is a matter of loyalty."

January just came to the end of the month, and Zhuge Yutong was about to give birth. From morning to night, Qi Haosheng in Jinzhu Hospital was waiting at the door of the delivery room, with a little anxiety on his face.

On the day of Yingxiu's delivery, Nanyang Hou and Mrs. Hou both came, and Zhuge Yutong was just an aunt, so they naturally didn't have to come here, but there were some subtle changes in Qi Haosheng's heart. The second brother seemed to be awake again.

In the delivery room, Zhuge Yutong was struggling, but the baby couldn't come down. The nanny on the side helped Mrs. Wen push the baby. Zhuge Yutong looked at her and asked pantingly, "Did you bring it?"

"Bring it."

There was a piercing pain in the abdomen, Zhuge Yutong's face tightened, and he cried out in pain. A maid hurried in, carrying a food box, and placed it on the table in two layers. The nurse went to have a look With a glance, he nodded to Zhuge Yutong after confirming.

"Miss, you've seen the head, work harder." Zhuge Yutong grunted while biting his lips, slipped his lower body, and the child was dragged out by Mrs. Wen.

The delivery room was quiet for a moment, and Mrs. Wen took a quick look at the weak baby and whispered, "Miss, it's a boy, should we keep it or not?"

Zhuge Yutong looked at the child in Granny Wen's arms, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Since it's a boy, let's stay here, so as not to be talked about in the future." The nurse heard the words and asked the maid to put away the food box and put the baby boy in the The back room is hidden.

Wen Po yelled, "I gave birth."

Qi Haocheng who was outside the room suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, and looked at the maid who came out to announce the good news, the smile on his mouth widened, "Congratulations son, congratulations madam, my aunt gave birth to a young master."

"I have a son too!" Qi Haocheng murmured, but Zhuge Yuxin who was behind him heard it outrageously, and only saw Qi Haocheng's back when he looked up, but he felt inexplicably sad, he also had a son, then In the other room, what are the twins that Liu Xuer gave birth to for him?

Because of Zhuge Yutong's previous body, the newborn was very weak. Taking advantage of the time to clean up the house, the nanny took out the food box containing the baby and sent it to the waiting person at the back door. As soon as the nanny left , The person holding the food box was about to take out the child inside, put it directly in a basin, and threw it into the river.

A figure went down the river after waiting for them to leave, and fished the washbasin out of the river again...
