After rebirth, she became an ancestor in a wealthy family

Chapter 156

On the stone ground in the center of the hall stands a small rockery, about three meters high, with water splashing down from the rockery, even in this severe winter, it has not frozen.

All around are decorated with upside-down stone carvings like campanulas, from flower buds to calyxes, to petals and buds, it seems to be natural.

------

And these other grounds are full of exotic flowers and plants, if it is not the severe winter season, it must be very bright and beautiful.

There are also ten red plum trees, which are tall and handsome. At this time, in the severe winter, the wind is blowing and the flowers are swaying. There are thousands of flowers, covering several floors and covering the treetops, which is very beautiful.

And in the center, there are three gilt characters of "Zichen Palace" written on a black plaque.

Even Song Hechen, who is a native of Nanche country, knew the status of these three characters, and how much the original owner was loved by Emperor Dongyuan during his lifetime.

"Will you come in with me?"

Bai Yuyou stood in front of Song Hechen, looking at the surrounding flowers and trees, with a sense of loneliness in his eyes.

She would not ask others to go with her to meet her concubine mother, so even Yue Qi rarely followed her.

This time asking Song Hechen if he wanted to go in with her was unprecedented in Yue Xi's eyes.

Song Hechen didn't nod or shake his head, which made Yue Qi unable to make up his mind for a while.

I only heard Bai Yuyou say: "Then wait for me for a while, Yuexi stay here."

"Yes."

Bai Yuyou opened the door and walked into the Zichen Hall. As the cold wind entered, the crystal bead curtain hanging in the room moved slightly.

Behind the crystal bead curtain is the bed where Concubine Xian rested. Bai Yuyou turned her head to the other side. There was no desk, but there was a crescent guqin that made people linger.

It seems to be able to see the scene at that time through this guqin. Someone is wearing a gauze and playing the piano, and the sound of the piano flows between the fingertips, whether it is virtual or real, and it is unpredictable.

Amber wine, jasper cups, gold-footed bottles, emerald dishes, the food is picturesque, the wine is like a spring, the guqin is running, and the bells are tinkling.

Most likely, the father of the year was also trapped in it, unable to extricate himself.

Next to the guqin is the carved window, exquisite carving, rare wood.

Throughout the year, when the mother and concubine are practicing piano here, the fragrance of flowers wafts from the window from time to time, which is quiet and beautiful.

According to the rumors left by the folks, the qin sound of the concubine Xian is the best in the world. The beauty plays the qin, and the red sleeves add fragrance.

Bai Yuyou walked behind the bead curtain, the faint scent of agarwood filled his side, the hollow carved window coffin hung in front of the bed, let in the sunlight, and looked carefully, every item here was of extraordinary value.

The bronze mirror is placed on the wooden dressing table, which seems to be able to reflect the demeanor of the people in those days. There are countless exquisite hairpins on the dressing table, and there are countless rouge and gouache. , with a small hammer hanging beside it.

The top of the bed is made of sandalwood as the beam, Hetian jade as the lamp, crystal as the curtain, and gilt as the pillar foundation.

A crocodile twirled tent hangs beside the wide bed of agarwood wood, embroidered with beads and silver thread begonia flowers all over the tent, and the wind moves like a magical sea falling into the clouds.

The jade pillow is covered with soft silkworm ice mats, jade belts and quilts, and the complicated and gorgeous cloud silk ripples like water.

The whole room is so fragrant and pleasant, just like back then.

"Mother and Concubine, Erchen has come to see you. You haven't seen Erchen for a long time."

"My son is doing very well. There are two ladies in the courtyard who relieve his boredom. There are also many courtiers in the court who are loyal to him."

"It's just that I'm so tired of living like this. I used to fight with my sisters for the sake of imperial power and wealth, but in the end I ended up with an unhappy end."

"This time, my son wants to follow his own heart, and stop cheating and intrigue for the sake of those few cents."

"Mother and concubine used to tell me that I don't need to do this. The emperor loves me and will naturally take care of everything for me. But I love things that I have won."

"It's cold outside. My son is afraid that Mrs. Song's old illness will relapse, so I won't talk too much with my mother and concubine today. My son will leave."

When Bai Yuyou walked out of the palace gate, his gaze fell on Song Hechen by coincidence.

At that time, he was also staring at himself, as if there were only two of them left in the vast world.

"Your Highness, the wind has picked up and it may snow again. Shall we go home?"

Yue Qi greeted her, seeing the loneliness in Bai Yuyou's eyes, she also felt very distressed.

On the day of family reunion, everyone should be happy, but Her Royal Highness's mother and concubine died at that time, how could Her Highness forget it.

The three of them walked out of the palace gate, got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove towards Donghua Mansion.

inside the car.

The atmosphere of the meeting was much worse than when he came up to the palace, and Bai Yuyou looked out the window without saying a word.

Song Hechen sat at the side with a cup of tea in his hand, taking a few sips from time to time.

Suddenly, the carriage staggered, causing Bai Yuyou to almost miss the handrail. She asked, "What happened?"

After the carriage calmed down, Yue Qi replied: "Your Highness, the ground is slippery, I'm afraid the horse has not stepped on it properly."

Bai Yuyou glanced at the road outside the window, but there were flakes of snow, which were very slippery.

Not a while later, she saw the young man selling cakes that day, looked at the teacup in Song Hechen's hand, and yelled to stop.

Bai Yuyou got out of the carriage, walked to the stall, asked the owner for some cakes, and said with a smile, "Why didn't the manager come home in such a cold day?"

"There will be no money to make when I go home, and I cherish money like my life."

Huai Chu was baking a cake in his hand, and asked a question at the right time, "What Buddhist temple in the suburbs did the girl go to?"

"No, why did the store manager say that?"

Bai Yuyou doesn't know where he got it, but when it comes to Buddhist temples, he thinks that the nearest Buddhist incense in the palace is too heavy, and he accidentally got it.

"Oh, maybe I smelled it wrong. The girl smells of black incense ash on her body, so when I ask, please don't take it to heart."

Bai Yuyou narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled lightly, and replied: "It's snowing heavily these days, don't mention the Buddhist temples in the suburbs, even the Buddhist temples in the city are not necessarily visited by people. Why does the store manager think it's a Buddhist temple in the suburbs? ?”

While speaking, Huai Chu had already baked a few cakes, and his subordinates kept moving. He whispered, "Young lady, I don't know. The Buddhist temples in this city all use high-quality incense ash, and I will definitely not use black incense ash. Paying homage to the Buddha. Only the Buddhist temples in the suburbs, where there are few people and leisure, are dared to use."

"Is this black incense ash different from ordinary incense?"

"It's not different, it's just that the amount of black incense ash is not used properly, which can easily cause a fire. If there is a fire in the Buddhist temple in the city, no one will go there anymore. This is equivalent to the anger of the gods. It is very rare to use black incense ash to worship the Buddha."

Bai Yuyou smiled, took the cake from Huai Chu, and said, "The manager is not from Dongyuan, so thank you for reminding me."

''

"I just hope that this matter is my guess and it won't come true. If something unexpected happens in the end, then we can only adapt to it."

Now Bai Yuyou has no way to fully trust a person whose origin is unknown and who has told her so much.

The breeze blows into the window, bringing the fragrance of plum blossoms outside the window, and it is the time when the red plums are in full bloom.

Chen Shuhua looked at Bai Yuyou with some preoccupations, and she asked, "What troubles has your Highness the Third Princess encountered?"

"No, Lord Chen is too worried. It's just that the New Year's Eve is approaching, and there are many official duties, so I can't take time off. I heard that the city is very lively these few days."

Bai Yuyou smiled a little sadly. For so many years, he has been working hard to deal with political affairs in front of the book case, and he has gone to various places to mediate disputes. He has never lived for his own life once.

What she said to Concubine Xian in Zichen Palace just now, I am afraid that it will become false again now.

But to be honest, if there is this opportunity, Bai Yuyou really wants to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes.

Chen Shuhua probably understood the meaning of Bai Yuyou's words, she suggested: "Your Highness, why don't you go out for a walk tonight. No matter how much business you have, you can find time to come. You are only now in the position of servant After working for two years, I have achieved such a high level of achievement. What are you afraid of?"

The words Chen Shuhua is saying now are all reasonable. It is because Bai Yuyou is working too hard and thinking about everything for the future.

So in my previous life, I had planned and planned for half my life, but in the end I ended up making a wedding dress for others.

Chen Shuhua's words now seemed to have awakened Bai Yuyou, Bai Yuyou hurriedly thanked Chen Shuhua, and said shamelessly: "Thank you, Lord Chen, for your guidance, I will take note of it."

"Then I'll leave first. Recently, it's the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, and it's also a state banquet. There are too many gift lists from below. Even if the entire Ministry of Rites is dispatched, there are still not enough people."

Bai Yuyou smiled, and wanted to say that Chen Shuhua was still persuading her just now, telling her not to work so hard.

In the end, she herself worked harder than her.

"Then I'll send it to Mr. Chen."

Bai Yuyou got up and gestured to Chen Shuhua as a please.

Chen Shuhua bowed to Bai Yuyou, she didn't even expect that Bai Yuyou would send her off, this courtesy was even more thoughtful than the Second Princess.

It's no wonder that the people below are convinced by the third princess.

She should have thought a long time ago that Her Royal Highness the Third Princess definitely had her own means and skills to be able to sit in this position.

No matter how many rumors there are outside, it can't slander the Three Princesses' own abilities.

Convincing people with virtue like this is really an example.

Chen Shuhua silently added a little favor to the third princess in her heart, and at the same time said to Bai Yuyou not to send it off, it doesn't matter.

Bai Yuyou still sent Chen Shuhua to the door, and after watching Chen Shuhua's carriage leave, she turned and returned to the house.

Before he walked a few steps to his own yard, a maid ran out, crying and dragging her to make decisions for his wife.

Bai Yuyou saw that this maid should be the maid next to Zhang Ji, she wondered what else Zhang Ji could encounter in her house and needed her to decide.

The maid was sobbing and said: "My wife went to the garden this morning to enjoy the plum blossoms. By chance, she met Mrs. Song. As a result, my wife just went to say hello, and she was beaten by the guards around Mrs. Song."

"Your Highness, please go and make decisions for my wife."

Bai Yuyou: "..."

She never expected that the first time the two ladies met, they would have a fight.

However, Song Hechen and the guards around him were never the ones who took the initiative to provoke others. I was afraid that it was Zhang Ji who took the initiative to do something with Song Hechen that provoked the guards around him.

Bai Yuyou was not in the mood to listen to the maid continue to cry, she interrupted the maid and said, "Where are your wife and Mrs. Song now?"

"The two ladies are still in the pavilion in the garden, waiting for Her Royal Highness to be the master."

Bai Yuyou sighed, wondering what kind of moth Zhang Ji was going to make for her, the day before yesterday he told her to make friends with Song Hechen, so that her father couldn't see anything.

Now he is asking her to make decisions for him again.

Doesn't he know that he is absolutely calling the shots for Song Hechen?

No matter what, Bai Yuyou had to go there before he could understand the whole story, and he couldn't listen to the one-sided words of this little maid.

What's more, this little maid just finished the whole thing in a few words, and she didn't say any details in the middle.

Bai Yuyou walked through most of Donghua Mansion, and came to the garden, seeing the pleasant fragrance of the whole garden, his mood improved a lot.

I rushed over in a hurry, seeing such a scene, my heart suddenly calmed down.

The bright sunshine shines through the blooming plum trees, sprinkled kisses like gold, and the mottled tree shadows rippling on the frozen river.

Bai Yuyou walked across the Qingmu stone slab bridge, before reaching the entrance of the pavilion, she could hear Zhang Ji crying, and she listened carefully.

"Song Hechen is about to be blackmailed. After all, the last time Zhang Ji cried like this was when he blackmailed her."

At that time, it was Bai Yuyou's first time to go back to the slave farm. It seemed that he wanted to find something new for his father. After hearing people talk about it for a long time, he decided to go there once.

It was because of that time that he met Zhang Ji who was trafficked.

Bai Yuyou also did not expect that slave trade could still occur on this continent, but it is rare to see it in the capital of Dongyuan Kingdom, so it is novel.

At first, Zhang Ji was weak and easy to bully, and all the buyers looked down on him, so Bai Yuyou was just a bustler.

Who would have thought that this person is very smart, not only gave Bai Yuyou an idea, but also found Bai Yuyou while Bai Yuyou concealed his identity several times.

Using the most old-fashioned method of crying, making trouble and hanging himself, he insisted on asking Bai Yuyou to redeem him.

Bai Yuyou got annoyed by being entangled, so he bought Zhang Ji. Seeing that Zhang Ji's slave contract book got his hands, this person immediately changed his appearance, and he was very shrewd.

That's why she asked her to accept him and welcome him into the mansion as a concubine.

There is no upright general to accept Zhang Ji as an aide. This is also Zhang Ji's proposal to Bai Yuyou.

The two of them were just a transactional relationship between master and servant, and Bai Yuyou didn't think it was wrong, so he did it. This pretense lasted for a year or two.

Bai Yuyou shook her head helplessly. Even though she had guessed what the scene would be like, as the head of the family, she still had to act like the head of the family.
