After rebirth, I became Little Marquis’s Bai Yueguang

Chapter 1

It snowed heavily in Shengjing, and the snow could cover the legs of pedestrians overnight.Although the snow in the Marquis Rong'an Mansion has been cleared away, the house is still covered in white and it still looks like a solemn sight.

Yuan Miaoyi looked at the gold-woven curtain on the top, thinking a lot.

Perhaps because of the same name and surname, after her original death from a serious illness, Yuan Miaoyi, the original princess of the Qian Dynasty, fell down at a palace banquet, and when she woke up, she became Yuan Miaoyi, the second wife of the Rongan Marquis of Dayan.

The struggle for imperial power in the Qian Dynasty was very intense. She planned carefully and took sides carefully. She finally waited until the day when the clouds and mist were cleared and the moon shined, and now everything was about to start again.

The bed curtain was gently rolled up. Yuan Miaoyi tilted her head slightly. Seeing that it was her personal maid Bai Zhi, she asked, "Where is your brother?"

Seeing that she was awake, Bai Zhi stretched out her hand to support her against the pillow behind her and then said softly: "There are visitors outside. The eldest son has gone to the outer courtyard. He asked you not to worry about it. He has already taken care of the people in the courtyard for you." I'll send you away. I'll let you recover well and come back to see you later."

Yuan Miaoyi hummed slightly and asked again: "Has father been here?"

"This..." Bai Zhi took a look at her expression secretly. Seeing that her face was calm, she said, "The previous reply said that the master has something to do outside and has not returned home yet."

After hearing this, Yuan Miaoyi's expression remained unchanged.She waved her hand, and Bai Zhi put down the curtain and retreated to the penthouse.

The room was extremely quiet for a while, and the servants passing by outside did so quietly, not daring to make too much noise for fear of disturbing her.

Yuan Miaoyi unconsciously used her fingers to wrap around a tassel hanging from the edge of the curtain, which was a sign that she was thinking.In the past few days, through recuperation, she had gradually obtained some information about her current identity and situation from the original memory.

She didn't know that compared to her previous life, or should I say, previous life now.She didn't know whether her current situation was better or worse than that of Yuan Miaoyi in her previous life.

The Yuan family here was originally just a small family in the countryside, but the deceased Taizu of the Yuan family had a unique vision and courage.When the world was in chaos, he followed Taizu in the fields to start a rebellion. After many life and death experiences, he earned the hereditary position of marquis for the Yuan family.

The original father, Yuan Fuwei, was the second son of the family, and the eldest brother Yuan Xizhi was not famous for his intelligence.It's a pity that he didn't live long, so the title fell to him.Although he has an indecisive personality, he had a good appearance when he was young, so his grandfather's old friend led him to marry the daughter of the Pei family in Hedong.

Although her mother Pei Linlang came from a noble family, she was not arrogant or domineering.After getting married, they could be regarded as equals, and soon they had a son and a daughter, namely her original brother Yuan Lingheng and her.

If it had been like this, Yuan Miaoyi might not be here anymore.

Yuan Fuwei is a man with a mediocre temperament, but he is also confused about women's sex, and he doesn't know how many confidants he has.Pei Linlang often had disputes with her husband because of this, and the two gradually drifted apart.The Pei family wrote to her many times to advise her to get together and separate, but Pei Linlang was dragging her along half-deadly because of her two children.

Until a distant cousin of Yuan Fuwei, Liu Shutang, came to live in the mansion because his family was in ruins.Distant cousin and childhood sweetheart, coupled with Liu Shutang's deliberate seduction, the two soon became friends.

If it only had the beginning and the end, that would be fine.However, when their love became stronger, they ignored their appearance and avoided the guests in the house on the day of Pei Linlang's birthday party, and behaved in a side room.

It happened that that day, the ladies were too drunk, so Pei Linlang took them to a side room to have a rest, and a group of people discovered the matter on the spot.

Pei Linlang has been in poor health since she gave birth to Yuan Miaoyi.She saw that her husband was not even willing to give her this face, and did this on the day of her birthday party.Because there were outsiders present, Pei Linlang managed to host the birthday banquet, and then fell ill.

There were few things happening in winter, so people spread the word about what happened that day after returning home. Officials and officials in Shengjing kept discussing and spreading rumors in private.

Pei Linlang struggled for a while, and after secretly delivering a letter to his brother in Jingzhou on some pretext, he finally couldn't hold on any longer.Yuan Lingheng didn't even wait for Yuan Lingheng to rush back from the academy to see him for the last time, and he passed away before the festival.

He suddenly lost his health when he was young and had to kneel all night long.And the private servants are all talking about the fact that there will be a new mistress in the family soon. The two children left by the former wife may not have a good life in the house in the future.All kinds of rumors reached Yuan Miaoyi's ears.

Yuan Fuwei never cared about family affairs, but his wife passed away due to illness. He felt some unspeakable guilt in his heart, so he locked himself in his room and drank alcohol all day long.

Mrs. Yuantai knew that something was not going well after the incident happened. She had been thinking about how to explain to the Pei family and how to minimize the losses to the Rong'an Hou Mansion. It was inevitable that she was a little preoccupied with one thing and neglected the other, and failed to take care of everything in the house.

When Pei Linlang was here, she was very good at running the house, and she took care of the house in an orderly manner.In addition, there was Mrs. Yuantai, the Tai Sui, who was holding down the place, so nothing serious happened.

But some details, such as the hot tea in the brazier when kneeling, are sometimes lazy and poorly taken care of.

Under cold, panic, fatigue, and multiple pressures, Yuan Miaoyi suffered from high fever and convulsions before her brother Yuan Lingheng rushed back from the academy.He was even unconscious for many days, and when several doctors came, they just shook their heads and said nothing.

Mrs. Yuantai was worried that if something happened to Yuan Miaoyi again at this juncture, the Marquis Rong'an Mansion would no longer need to lose face in Shengjing.So he spared no expense and poured out sky-high price tonics, which finally brought down the fever.

Although I couldn't remember what happened before when I woke up, I managed to save my life.The servants related to this were either beaten or sold, and for a while no one in the family dared to discuss the matter in private.

Yuan Lingheng saw that his younger sister was already weak, and became even thinner after she fell ill, so he stayed with his sister during the day and knelt down at night.

The people in Yuan Miaoyi's outer courtyard figured out this rule. In addition, Yuan Miaoyi had always been tolerant, so they took advantage of their respectability with their master and stopped paying attention to the orders.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Lingheng was thinking about his little sister last night and thought of paying a visit on the way.When he saw it, he happened to see the second-class maid and the mother-in-law playing cards in the outer courtyard. The medicine placed in the courtyard had been cooked for an unknown period of time, and he immediately became furious.

Pei Lingheng has always been gentle. The gentlemen in the academy once said that he was as gentle as jade and had the air of an ancient gentleman. Never had the servants in the family seen him lose such a temper.

In addition, he was the eldest son in the family after all, and his status in the mansion was second only to Mrs. Tai and Yuan Fuwei. The servants were so frightened that they knelt on the ground in the outer courtyard.

After Ren Yazi came this morning, the courtyard was even more orderly.Not to mention secretly drinking and playing cards like they did a few days ago, now the servants in the courtyard even speak in a soft voice, for fear of offending the eldest son and selling him out.

After all, Yuan Miaoyi was not her original self, and she had no siblings in her previous life, so she always felt a little strange when facing Yuan Lingheng these days.Fortunately, Yuan Lingheng only thought that she was still weak from the illness and didn't take it seriously.

He was afraid that her depressed mood would be harmful to her health, so he often came to talk to her.Perhaps due to the influence of the remaining emotions of the original person, or perhaps due to the loving care given by Ling Heng these past few days, Yuan Miaoyi has really become closer to him.

This brother is much better than being alone in his previous life.But when it comes to my father, it is better to have him than not have him.

My biological daughter has been seriously ill for several days, and her father is indifferent and inconsistent with her feelings.As for the scandalous things done to him in the capital, there was a lot of discussion. At this time, he still didn't know how to make up for it, and he couldn't even explain it in a rational way.

Such a person who is unable to do well both emotionally and rationally would not have been able to take the position of Marquis Rong'an if his elder brother had not died young.

Mrs. Yuantai, who was sitting in the main room, had the same thoughts as Yuan Miaoyi.

The Yuan family had few heirs, and after following Emperor Taizu's rebellion, contact with relatives in his hometown was cut off.Mrs. Yuantai only had two sons. The eldest son, whom she loved the most, was smart and keen in political affairs, but unfortunately he did not live long.The second son is in good health, but his mind is not very bright.

Outside, a maid in a pink-colored coat walked quickly through the corridor and opened the curtain of the main room, interrupting Mrs. Yuantai's thoughts at this time.Just as she was about to kneel down and salute, Mrs. Yuantai raised her hand and said: "Just tell me, where is he?
The maid bowed her head respectfully and replied: "To report to Mrs. Pei, Lord Pei and his party have already passed Mingde Gate and will arrive at Taipingfang in about one cup of tea."

The madam nodded slightly, and the maid withdrew. She was the only one left in the room, and the Marquis Rong An, Yuan Fuwei, who had been sitting silently aside.

It was so quiet in the main room that the only sound that could be heard was the sound of Mrs. Yuan Tai moving the Buddhist beads in her hand. After a long time, Marquis Rong'an said solemnly: "I'm afraid I have to rely on my mother's help for this matter."

Mrs. Yuantai half-closed her eyes and was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke.

Although she didn't see her harsh words, the words she said made Yuan Fuwei's heart tremble: "I asked you to visit Yi'er more in the past few days. It would be better for you to see if you can hide it from me and see the sky outside with that foxy girl. She is fooling around. I asked you to deal with her a long time ago, where did you hide her? "

Yuan Fuwei murmured for a long time before whispering: "I sent Shutang to Zhuangzi outside the city."

Mrs. Yuantai then slapped the Buddhist beads in her hand heavily on the desk at hand and shouted: "Ridiculous! Do you want to marry her as your stepmother?!"

Yuan Fuwei hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowing and said urgently: "My son doesn't dare, but Shutang already has his son's flesh and blood in his belly. My son really can't bear to let her die twice, mother!"

Mrs. Yuantai saw that his mind was not clear at this time, and her voice was filled with anger. She said in a deep voice: "Master Marquis, do you think you are marrying the daughter of a small family?"

Seeing that Yuan Fuwei still looked confused, Mrs. Yuantai sighed deeply and had no choice but to break the matter into pieces and tell him.

"You are marrying the daughter of the Pei family in Hedong. Although your Taishan master is no longer alive, his old friends and disciples are everywhere in Beijing. Otherwise, how could you get the news so quickly in Jingzhou? The Pei family's People came to Beijing so quickly, it is clear that they are here to investigate. The new emperor has only been on the throne for half a year, and this is the worst thing. This matter has become known to everyone in Beijing. If the Pei family sues you now, you will Do you want the entire Rong'an Hou Mansion to be ruined in your hands?!"

After Mrs. Yuantai drank like this, Yuan Fuwei was shocked to realize that the matter was not as simple as he imagined.Thinking of the possibility of implicating the Marquis, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Mrs. Yuantai felt even more annoyed when she saw how absent-minded he was.But people from the Pei family were coming to visit soon, and it was not easy for him to meet guests like this, so he was sent back to freshen up before going to the main hall.

After all, Mrs. Yuantai was getting old, so she got angry and became a little weak.A nun came out of the inner room and brought her a new cup of tea, and said softly: "Madam, go to the inner room and rest for a while."

"The Pei family is about to arrive. How can I rest at this moment?" Mrs. Yuantai waved her hand and asked, "How is Yi'er's illness? Where is Heng'er?"

While cutting off the wife's head, Aunt Liu said: "The second lady's fever has gone away, but she still looks a little weak and can't remember things clearly. The eldest son passed away last night, but there was a message from the front that the young marquis of Pingyang is here. , the eldest son went to the front to entertain the guests."

Mrs. Yuantai turned her head in surprise and asked: "The young Marquis of Pingyang is here, why didn't anyone come to report to me?"

Aunt Liu quickly responded: "That's what I said before, but you were talking to me at that time. In addition, the young Marquis of Pingyang said that he and the eldest son were classmates, so he came here this time for As a courtesy to all my friends, I don’t want to trouble the elders in the mansion, so my servants didn’t come in to interrupt your conversation with the master.”

Mrs. Yuantai sighed: "That's all, if that's the case, I can't blame you. It's a good thing that Heng'er has a good relationship with Mr. Pingyang, just let him be."

Aunt Liu responded, paused for a while and then said with some hesitation: "The eldest son today asked Ren Yazi to sell two second-class maids and a nanny from the second lady's place."

Yuan Lingheng's temper is well known in the house, and Mrs. Yuan Tai also said a little curiously: "That's why, Heng'er is not a bad-tempered master. If there is really a mistake, the house will deal with it, how can it cause such a fuss?" go?"

Aunt Liu came here as Mrs. Yuan Tai's dowry. She had a transcendent status in the inner palace and there was nothing she didn't know about in the palace. After hearing this, she said: "I heard that when the eldest son went there last night, he saw the second lady's medicine." While we were waiting outside the courtyard, the guard went to play cards and became angry on the spot. He was tied up at night and sold out early this morning."

"That's what it should be." Mrs. Yuan said: "I am getting old and have low energy. There is a funeral in the house now, and there is no mistress to take care of it. This troublesome slave who cheats and tricks even dares to neglect his master. The Hou Mansion Are there no rules here?"

After that, he said to Aunt Liu: "You go now and give me a good beating on all the people in charge of the house. There are a lot of things in the house these days, and all those who are restless and do their own work have been sold."

After saying that, he helped Nanny Liu stand up and said in a deep voice: "Especially the servants of the eldest son and the second wife, you have to keep an eye on me. People from the Pei family are going to visit today. Who is left behind at this time? It’s the Marquis’s face, so don’t blame me for being unkind.”

Aunt Liu understood what she meant, so she quickly agreed, asked the maid to help the lady, and hurried to the backyard.

In Yuan Miaoyi's room, another of her personal maids hurried in from outside and called her girl through the curtain.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Miaoyi was interrupted from his thoughts and asked.

Both Bai Zhi and Dong Xia came from Hedong as dowries from their original mothers. They were given to her only after she established her own institution, so they served her very wholeheartedly.

Hearing her voice, Dongxia came over and rolled up the curtain again and said: "Mrs. Liu who is beside Mrs. Liu is here. She said that my uncle has arrived. If you feel better, he will also come to the front hall to meet you."

Yuan Miaoyi had read Dayan's sutras and annotations in the past few days and knew that if he traveled from Jingzhou to Shengjing by water day and night, he could reach it in almost a few days.But the Pei family came so quickly, which was somewhat beyond her expectation.

Judging from the original person's memories, although she has never met her uncle and aunt, Pei Linlang still has a very close relationship with her natal family.Mr. Pei serves as the governor outside Jingzhou, and during every year and festival, he has to ask someone to bring earthly rituals to Beijing.He came so quickly this time, I'm afraid he came to accuse the Yuan family of raising an army.

There are many infatuated people in the Pei family, and Yuan Miaoyi's grandfather and his wife were also deeply in love. Unfortunately, his wife passed away soon after giving birth to their daughter.Her grandfather would not renew his marriage no matter who tried to persuade her.It was inevitable that the incest would be lost, and he was originally planned to be adopted from the clan.

At that time, Yuan Miaoyi's grandfather had already been appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs. In the tenth year of Kaiyuan, he also led the inspection envoy to inspect Jiangnan Road for the emperor.Also during this inspection, a sudden heavy rain caused the road to collapse. He was rescued by a young man and placed in his home.

The boy's parents have long since passed away, and his relatives are unwilling to help him.After going back and forth, Mr. Pei came up with a new idea when he saw that although he was in the thatched cottage, he still kept his hands on the book and had a resolute personality. He was not an ordinary coward.

The Pei family from Hedong was a famous official for many generations.When it was first heard that Mr. Pei was going to adopt a poor boy from outside who didn't know where he came from, there was a sudden outcry among the clan.But no one could persuade Mr. Pei to do what he was determined to do.In this way, this young man from a poor family passed into the lap of Mr. Pei and changed his name to Pei Zhao.

Then Pei Zhao married a distant cousin in the Pei clan, who was also Qin Se Heming. There were no concubines in the family.The relationship between Pei Linlang and this brother who came out halfway is also very good. It was Pei Zhao who came to Beijing to marry Pei Linlang into the Rong'an Marquis Mansion.

Yuan Miaoyi thought that maybe it was because she had seen her father and brother being like this since she was a child, so she couldn't accept Yuan Fuwei's constant love of confidante, which made her depressed all the time and the husband and wife were not harmonious.

Dongxia and Bai Zhi saw that Yuan Miaoyi seemed to be thinking about something, so they didn't dare to disturb her for a while.This time Yuan Miaoyi suffered a serious illness. After she woke up, the maids in the hospital always felt that she was a little different from before.

I can't tell what has changed so much. Although his appearance has not changed, his temperament is more dignified and calm than before.When walking, sitting or lying down, there is a kind of majesty.Even Dongxia Baizhi, a personal maid who had been following her since childhood, became more and more respectful.

Yuan Miaoyi's thoughts just passed through her mind. She looked at Dongxia who was standing by and smiled and said: "I'm feeling much better now. You sent someone back to my grandmother. Since my uncle and aunt are here, I'll go there later." .”
