Chapter 340, not optimistic
Shi Fuxin and Chu Yao got married on the second day of October.

At the end of September, both Prince Rong's Mansion and Wuchangbo Mansion began to hang red silk.

Prince Rong Mansion
Guan Xiuyan, a cousin girl who lived in the palace since she was six years old, became sleepy again at night, and when she woke up in the morning, her eyes were black and blue, and her face was also tired.

Hui'er, who knew her daughter's thoughts, felt worthless for her daughter, and complained: "The princess clearly promised her to tell the third master, but now she regrets it, but she is just bullying her and no one can decide. "

"To shut up!"

Guan Xiuyan cut off Hui'er's words, looked out the window and murmured: "Cousin's marriage, not to mention aunt, even the county prince, old concubine, and old prince can't be his masters. What aunt said is just to coax me." Just play."

Hui'er was still unwilling: "But the third master is obviously very kind to the girl."

Guan Xiuyan showed a wry smile: "My cousin is nice to me, but it's just because my parents are dead and I have no one to rely on. He is nice to me, but he treats me as him."

Hui'er didn't understand very well, and when she was about to ask, Guan Xiuyan urged her to wash and dress her up.

"The day when my cousin gets married is coming soon, let's help my aunt to watch over it, so we can't make a mistake and make my cousin lose face."

"Especially on the side of the new house, it must be properly arranged."

Guan Xiuyan paused for a moment: "When we go to decorate the new house later, you remember to call the grandma next to my aunt."

Hui Er was puzzled: "Why?"

Guan Xiuyan lowered her eyes: "If my cousin came in and knew that the new house was arranged by me, I would probably feel uncomfortable. With Nanny Sun here, I can say that the new house was arranged by my aunt."

Hui'er felt sorry for her own girl: "If you want this servant to tell you, you should push away such a thankless errand."

Guan Xiuyan: "My cousin is getting married, and once the affairs are settled, only my aunt is in charge of it. If I don't help, my aunt will be exhausted."

"After my father and mother passed away, it was my aunt who brought me to the palace to raise me. This gave me a place to live. I should be filial to her."

"Okay, don't smear the ink, it's almost time to say hello."

After Guan Xiuyan washed and dressed, she took Huier to the main courtyard.

Young Master Rongjun was resting in the main courtyard. When Guan Xiuyan arrived, Princess Guan had just woken up.

Seeing Guan Xiuyan approaching, the princess immediately smiled: "Xiuyan is here."

Guan Xiuyan smiled and went forward to serve the Princess of the County to freshen up. After the grooming was complete, she helped the Princess of the County to the living room for dinner.

"Thanks to having you serving me all these years, otherwise my house would be like a cold palace. If my husband doesn't come, my son won't come back, I won't be popular at all."

The princess of the county held Guan Xiuyan's hand tightly: "My good boy, I'm sorry for you. Fortunately, your cousin is about to enter the door. With her serving in the future, you can relax a little bit."

Hearing this, Guan Xiuyan's face turned pale, thinking that the Princess of the County doesn't need her anymore, she forcefully smiled and said, "What did my aunt say? It's Xiuyan's blessing to serve you by your side. As long as you don't dislike her, Xiuyan Yan is willing to serve you for the rest of her life."

As a cousin girl living in the palace, all her confidence in the palace comes from her aunt's attention and love. If her aunt no longer values ​​her, then how can she have a good life.

Although it was already prepared for the cousin to enter the door, her position in the aunt's heart would decline, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.

The princess of the county didn't notice Guan Xiuyan's face, and said rather movedly: "I know you are a good boy, you know, my aunt has always wanted you to do it"

Having said that, he immediately stopped talking, showing a look of helplessness and headache.

"Your cousin is disobedient. When he was young, he could listen to a few words from me, but when he grew up, he liked to confront others more and more. As a mother, I can't be his master."

"Now I don't ask for anything else, I just ask him not to hang around all the time, not even returning home."

Guan Xiuyan explained: "After getting married, with my cousin's care, my cousin will definitely not be away from home."

The princess of the county snorted: "If your cousin marries a famous lady, I still have some expectations, but who is he marrying? A border savage girl with a reputation comparable to his, I expect her to restrain your cousin , it’s not as cheap as the one I made myself.”

Guan Xiuyan looked at the dissatisfied face of the princess, and said silently: "With my aunt teaching me, I think my cousin will take on the responsibility of being a wife."

The princess of the county sighed: "That's the only way to go. The imperial decree bestowed the marriage, and there is no chance to regret it."

Thinking that her daughter-in-law is the concubine that the crown prince and the son of the Liu family want to take home, the princess of the county feels very upset.

It doesn't matter if her background is poor, she has also heard that this girl is notorious for disrespecting her elders and loves to contradict her elders.

The princess of the county thought of the years when she married into the palace. She just bore the name of a princess and didn't enjoy the rights of a princess at all. In name, she was the aunt of Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao, but neither of these two little boys respected her. of.

Their daughter-in-law also followed suit, even coming to pay her a visit was perfunctory, without respect at all.

If the daughter-in-law married by her own son is also disobedient, then she, a mother-in-law, will really vomit to death.

Thinking of this, the princess could not help but look at Guan Xiuyan. The more she looked at her, the more she was satisfied. The son was disobedient, and the daughter of the family was probably not easy to get along with at that time. She had to find a helper who stood by her side. .

"Good boy, my aunt has never changed her mind. The daughter-in-law candidate in her heart has always been you."

"My daughter's house is as delicate as a flower, and she needs someone to protect her from the wind and rain. You grow up little by little in front of me, and no matter who you promise to, my aunt won't worry about it."

"You grew up in the palace, and you have a special relationship with your cousin. If you are willing to stay in the palace, he will protect you no matter what, and will not let you lose your support."

Guan Xiuyan's heart skipped a beat when she heard these words, she was not sure what the Princess of the County meant, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

The princess of the county only thought that Guan Xiuyan was shy, and patted her hand with a smile: "My son, you were raised by me, no matter who I treat badly, I can't treat you badly."

After breakfast, Guan Xiuyan took Hui'er and Nanny Sun to decorate the new house.

While Nanny Sun was instructing others to do things, Hui'er asked Guan Xiuyan in a low voice: "Girl, what do you mean by what the princess said in the morning?"

Guan Xiuyan pursed her lips and did not respond, her face turned pale.

My aunt wanted her to be my cousin's concubine!
As a concubine, even with the support of her aunt, she is still inferior. Not only her, but also her future children can only be children of concubines.

How could she bear to be ashamed of her parents above and her children below?
Seeing that she was silent, Hui'er thought for a while and said, "Girl, the third master is indifferent. He married a girl from the Shi family just as an expedient measure, and he must not care about her."

"You are different. You have a very special relationship with him. Even... Even if the status is a little worse, there may not be a bright future in the future."

Guan Xiuyan looked at the bright red red flowers and red cloth hanging high, then turned her head to look at Huier: "Am I not worthy to marry a good man as the main wife?"

Huier: "Girl, that's not what I meant." After a pause, "Don't you also like the third master?"

Guan Xiuyan: "If you like it, you have to be his concubine?"

Huier was silent, and after a long while said: "But Wangfei's side."

Guan Xiuyan shook her head and laughed: "My aunt has always been a confused person. She has already said that my cousin won't listen to her. How can I be sure that my cousin is willing to accept me as a concubine?"

"My cousin is fickle and affectionate. I believe he will protect me who is lonely and helpless, but he will not let me be his concubine."

Guan Xiuyan didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she stepped into the new house and assigned her servants to place all kinds of decorations.

That afternoon, it was rare for Chu Yao to return home.

Seeing the boxes of things brought in by the servants, Guan Xiuyan was a little surprised. After knowing that these things were used to decorate the new house, she felt a little shocked.

Cousin has always been ignorant of mundane affairs, but now he is personally watching the layout of the new house.

Cousin actually likes the sixth girl from the Shi family, right?
"Xiuyan, I'll let Nanny Qu watch over the new house, so you don't have to watch here from now on."

Hearing Chu Yao's words, Guan Xiuyan felt that her guess had come true, she couldn't hold back, and blurted out, "Cousin, are you happy to marry a girl from the Shi family?"

Chu Yao looked at Guan Xiuyan's eager eyes, and looked away: "I begged for her with great difficulty, so I am very happy." After speaking, he strode out.

Guan Xiuyan swayed, and there were tears in her eyes. When she saw Chu Yao, who had walked a few steps, stop, her eyes lit up.

"Xiuyan, your cousin is a straightforward person. In the future, you can get in touch with her more, and I will tell her to take you out to parties more. The more people you see, the wider your heart will be."

Guan Xiuyan stared blankly at Chu Yao's leaving back, and murmured, "Cousin thinks I'm a small-minded person?"

Wuchang uncle's mansion, approaching the wedding, the relatives and friends of the Shi family also came to the door one after another to add makeup to Shi Fuxin.

Mrs. Shi has been assisting Jin Yue'e to entertain guests these days, because she also has to manage other affairs in the mansion, so she is too busy to touch the ground.

"Ma'am, Second Aunt is here."

Hearing the servant girl's report, Mrs. Shi didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly said: "Bring Second Aunt Grandma to our courtyard, don't let her go to Yigui courtyard."

Mrs. Shi is really afraid of Shi Yuhua. Shi Yuhua and his fourth brother's family seem to be natural enemies, and conflicts arise every time they meet.

Shi Fulin handed Mrs. Shi a cup of tea: "Look at how nervous my mother is. Since Second Uncle stayed at home, Second Aunt's temper has calmed down a lot."

Mrs. Shi drank her daughter's tea: "Don't be afraid of [-], just in case. I just hope that Miss Xin can get married happily and smoothly."

Shi Fulin curled her lips: "Mother, you treat Sixth Sister better than me."

"Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you and your elder brother and second brother?"

Mrs. Shi nodded Shi Fulin's forehead, and then said quietly: "In the future, our uncle's residence will probably depend on your fourth uncle's family for a living."

"Wulang is the chief arrester of the South, Sister Yin is Mrs. An Guogong, Jiulang is the son-in-law, and Sister Xin is now the daughter-in-law of the palace. Mother will help your fourth aunt more now, and Goro will take care of her more in the future." Some of you."

Shi Fulin pursed her lips: "Mother, I know, I will get along well with my third and sixth sisters in the future."

Only then did Mrs. Shi show a satisfied smile, just as she ordered something, the servant girl led Shi Yuhua in.

"The second sister is back."

Although Mrs. Shi got up to meet her, Shi Yuhua was still a little unhappy: "Sister-in-law is the busiest person in the family, so I am really flattered that she can entertain me in person."

Mrs. Shi didn't change her face: "You are the second aunt of the Shi family, even if I have a big matter, I have to put it down and see if you are right."

Shi Yuhua snorted and laughed: "Sister-in-law doesn't need to humiliate me, you are just afraid that I will start a fight with the fourth child's family again."

Mrs. Shi was too lazy to get used to Shi Yuhua anymore, and said lightly: "Not only I am afraid, you can ask other people in the family to see who is not afraid."

Shi Yuhua sneered: "Stop pretending? You're just worshiping the high and stepping on the low."

Shi Fulin couldn't help it anymore: "Second aunt said that we worship the high and step on the low, but the people in this capital, no, the people in this world, who is not like this? Who is more noble than anyone else. "

"you"

Shi Yuhua laughed back angrily: "The rules of the uncle's house are becoming more and more for decoration, now any junior can contradict the elders."

Shi Fulin snorted: "If the elders look like the elders, the juniors will naturally respect them."

Shi Yuhua was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. Ever since her husband lost her job, no one took her seriously when she went back to her natal home: "You guys just go and curry favor."

"Sister Xin, that girl, first provoked the Liu family, and then provoked the crown prince. Do you think that if she marries into the palace, the Shi family will follow suit?"

"Don't lose the light in the end, but you will come back in a show, and you don't know how you died in the end."

This is really too much, Mrs. Shi couldn't listen anymore: "Second sister, do you curse your natal family like that? There is really no need for you, a married woman, to worry about family affairs. If you are really idle, you will be fine." Do it, or take care of your own family affairs."

"By the way, I heard that you and Zhengkun's family are still very close?"

"My sister-in-law advises you that Fuzhi of Zhengkun's family is the concubine of the fourth prince. Don't let outsiders think that the Wei family belongs to the fourth prince just because you are close to Zhengkun's family."

Shi Yuhua stood up abruptly: "It's not my sister-in-law's turn to take care of my affairs, I'm going to pay my mother's peace."

Seeing her leave, Mrs. Shi was very angry.

"Before, because of Goro and Sister Xin, our family and the Liu family had a very tense quarrel. Fortunately, there was such a quarrel. Otherwise, if your second aunt is so close to the Zhengkun family, outsiders might think that our family is also the fourth prince. .”

Mrs. Shi was very troubled: "The matter of seizing the concubine has always been full of blood and rain. Sister Xin is desperate to ruin her reputation and offend the East Palace, and she doesn't want to get involved with the crown prince or the fourth prince. Your second aunt is fine, you can do it yourself." Get on top."

Shi Fulin was also a little worried: "Speaking of which, in the final analysis, Uncle Zhengkun's family is to blame for this matter. If they weren't greedy for vanity, how could Sister Fuzhi enter the fourth prince's backyard?"

"The Li family is also very annoying. When the Liu family dealt with our family, that family did not say bad things about our family."

"Grandfather and grandmother can be regarded as raising Uncle Zhengkun in vain, the ones who avenge the family's kindness."

Speaking of Li Zhengkun's family, Mrs. Shi didn't want to talk too much. Now the mansion has stopped dealing with them, and they have the right to be strangers.

Grand Prince's Mansion
The First Prince selected two ornaments from his own private treasury, and was about to be given to Chu Yao as a wedding gift. When the boxes were being packed, the First Prince's staff came over.

"Mr. Zhuge."

Zhuge Xun looked at the decoration and said with a smile, "Your Highness is willing to give away such a good thing?"

The eldest prince smiled and said: "Chu Yao is finally married, I should express it."

Thinking of Chu Yao's age, Zhuge Xun nodded in agreement: "Master Yao's marriage was indeed a bit late, but after all, he did as he wished, and his wife was chosen by himself."

The eldest prince sighed: "It's more due to the situation. Brother Yao has a stubborn temper, and the girl he is going to marry is not a docile person. Whether the two can get along really worries me."

Zhuge Xun said with a smile: "Young Master Yao is not a sentimental person, as long as that Miss Shi can help him stabilize the back house, he will be satisfied if he thinks about it."

The eldest prince shook his head: "Sir, don't look at brother Yao who is usually cold-hearted, as if he doesn't care about anyone. In fact, he is the most affectionate person."

"The king of Rongjun has always felt that brother Yao has restrained him, and he has disliked him since he was a child. The princess of the county is also a person who only acts on the eyes of the king of Rongjun, and brother Yao has suffered a lot of grievances."

"Brother Yao, in fact, I have always longed for a warm home."

Zhuge Xun really didn't see this point, he thought that Chu Yao was really hard-hearted that he could directly take the Duke Wen's mansion in disregard of the face of old Princess Rong.

"If this is the case, the third son Yao should marry a virtuous and virtuous lady."

The eldest prince: "So, Brother Yao's marriage was forced by the situation."

Zhanfu
Doctor Zhan received the letter from Tianshan, and was quite happy at first, but after reading it, he immediately jumped up with anger.

"Master, what happened?"

The entourage immediately asked.

Zhan Fei was so angry that he circled around: "My good junior sister wrote to the old man saying that she was going to get married. After the old man received the letter, he brought his second junior brother to the capital."

Follower: "."

Zhan Fei was very angry: "Isn't it just to get married, is it necessary to mobilize teachers? Does that girl think that she is not eye-catching enough?"

He could imagine what a commotion the old man would cause when he arrived.

"Ah, why do I have such a troublesome junior sister?"

"Does she think she's married to a good family? Let's not talk about Prince Rong's people, just that Chu Yao, maybe the two of them will be able to use their brains in the future."

Shi Fuxin didn't know that the old man Tianchi and her second senior brother were coming to the capital, she just wanted to have a master-student relationship, and if she got married, she had to notify the master anyway, otherwise it would be impossible to justify it.

If she knew that the old man Tianchi was coming, she might not have done this, and would have informed later, after all, she never thought of telling the world that she was the old man Tianchi's apprentice.
