After rebirth, I became Little Marquis’s Bai Yueguang

Chapter 2

Yuan Miaoyi has not yet come out of her filial piety period, so she cannot dress up too luxuriously.She only wore an ivory-white short undershirt with a dark turquoise pattern and a jade-colored heavy lotus silk skirt. She wore a same-colored jacket with a two-finger wide velvet edge.Bai Zhi tied her hair into a bun and wore a white jade and silver hairpin inlaid with beads.

When she went out, it started to snow again, so Dongxia found another white fox fur with no trace of color and put it on her.

"Girl, the eldest son has also gone to the front hall." Bai Zhi handed the hand stove with new charcoal to Yuan Miaoyi and whispered beside her.

The winter in Shengjing was indeed bitingly cold. Yuan Miaoyi held the hand stove tightly, hummed and asked, "What else did brother leave behind?"

On the other side, Dongxia tightened the fox fur on Yuan Miaoyi's body: "Girl, don't worry. The eldest son just said that my uncle already knew that you were sick before I came here. Even if it's a little late, I won't be surprised."

Yuan Miaoyi said nothing and only nodded.Yuan Lingheng was three years older than her, and she was studying in the same academy that Pei Zhao had written to care about.Compared to Yuan Miaoyi, who had never seen Pei Zhao since birth, he was naturally more familiar with him.

She walked on the corridor with a calm expression, but she was still thinking in her heart.

Pei Linlang's first seven days have passed. Although the winter is cold, the corpse spirit has spread, so Mrs. Yuantai has made the decision to bury her.However, the mourning hall remains open for relatives, friends and old friends to come and pay their respects.

The Yan Dynasty has only had three generations of emperors.Yuan Miaoyi's great-grandfather was a distinguished figure who founded the country. If his descendants can live up to their expectations, maybe in a few generations the Yuan family will have the status of an aristocratic family.

It's a pity that Yuan Fu has only this talent but a broad vision, and he is really not a person capable of big responsibilities.In addition, the new emperor likes to have capable ministers, so Yuan Fuwei is just holding a false position in the court.

The Pei family has been passed down from generation to generation for nearly a hundred years from the previous dynasty to the present.Relatives and friends, masters and apprentices, old friends, and in-laws are like old trees with tangled roots. They are truly noble and noble.What's more, Pei Zhao, the elder brother who is closest to Pei Linlang in terms of etiquette and law, is still serving as the governor of Jingzhou at this time.

The governor is the head of a state and controls one area. He is the real official of the frontier. He is not just an idle official who Yuan Fu leads by relying on his family's cover.

Pei Linlang's marriage to Yuan Fuwei was actually a second marriage, not to mention the fault of the Yuan family. Although the two families had not officially fought, the outcome was already decided.

But even so, Pei Linlang still felt that he would soon pass away and asked someone to bring a message to invite Pei Zhao to the capital.I'm afraid it's not only for my own affairs, but also for my own children.

Parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.Yuan Fuwei is now in his prime, and once Pei Linlang is gone, he is bound to renew his relationship.

Yuan Fuwei is a man who doesn't care about his family and is devoted to his romantic life.At that time, whether they promote Liu Shutang as the head wife or marry another noble daughter, the positions of Yuan Lingheng and Yuan Miaoyi will be very delicate.

Pei Linlang begged her brother to come to Beijing because she wanted to take advantage of the power of the Pei family so that people would know that her two children had a mother-in-law and someone to support them so that they would not be treated harshly.

Thinking of this, Yuan Miaoyi couldn't help but sigh.Mr. Pei has had many ups and downs in his life, and his eyes are really good at seeing people.

Pei Zhao was now the legitimate head of the Pei family, but Pei Linlang had no blood relationship with him.Although the Yuan family was wrong about this matter, it was still an internal affair.

It is not easy for foreign officials to enter Beijing, not to mention that Pei Zhao is the governor of a state and is an important political official.But after receiving Pei Linlang's letter, he still rushed to Shengjing in person without stopping.

It was just an adopted heir from the clan, so I'm afraid he might not be so careful.

Yuan Miaoyi was so lost in thought that she almost bumped into someone at the corner without noticing.

Fortunately, the visitor reacted quickly and took a few steps back, thus avoiding the embarrassment in broad daylight.

Seeing this posture, the visitor knew that he had bumped into a member of the family, and immediately bowed his hands and said, "I'm sorry."

Yuan Miaoyi was touched by Bai Zhi next to her and stabilized her figure.She looked at the handsome young man in front of her, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a hint of sparseness in his heroic brows.

It was cold in Shengjing in winter, but he only wore a tight-fitting riding suit with a black mink fur coat.Although he looks young, he is tall and has a straight back.Like a newly sharpened famous sword, just standing there makes people feel extraordinary.

It happened that only her brother had guests in the mansion today, and the verandah here was connected to the small flower hall for entertaining guests, and the main hall also had the main entrance of the Hou's mansion.

So Yuan Miaoyi understood in an instant. It seemed that the Pei family had arrived too quickly. After being informed by the people in front, Yuan Lingheng left in a hurry without having time to see off the guests in person.

However, this also indirectly shows that the brother's relationship with this person should be good, otherwise he would not have acted in such a "discourteous" manner.

Yuan Miaoyi bowed her hands and said, "I'm bumping into the distinguished guest." The young man just shook his head and stepped aside.

Thinking that the Pei family had already arrived in the front hall, Yuan Miaoyi stopped being polite and walked to the front hall.

When he passed by her, Xiao Yunyue smelled a very faint fragrance of Zhilan. He stood there and looked back at the girl who had just left.

He suddenly recalled the startling glimpse he had just taken. The excellent sunshine at noon shone on the girl's slightly sickly and pale face.She is obviously a delicate little lady, but she has a pair of extremely calm eyes, with an indifference that does not belong to her age.

But Yuan Miaoyi just thought it was an incident. She walked to the main hall, then walked through the screen and walked around to the main hall.

Just as they were about to salute Mrs. Yuantai and Yuan Fuwei, Mrs. Yuantai, who was sitting at the top, quickly said kindly: "Get up quickly, Yi'er. We are all members of our own family. We don't need to talk about these false courtesy. Are you feeling better?"

"I'm feeling much better after taking the newly prescribed medicine ordered by the doctor." Yuan Miaoyi stood up and said softly with half-lowered eyes.

Dayan's etiquette and rules were not much different from those of the Qian Dynasty.Yuan Miaoyi also read a lot of related books during these days of recuperation.In addition to some remaining memories of the original body, no one here saw anything wrong during the salute.

With this time, Yuan Miaoyi had already looked at everyone sitting in the main hall from the corner of her eye.

Strictly speaking, apart from Yuan Lingheng, she had never really seen anyone in this room.But with this rough glance, she could already determine their approximate identities.

The person sitting at the top is naturally the current wife of the Yuan family. Due to her pampering over the years, she looks like she is only in her forties, and her youthful beauty can still be seen in her well-maintained face.

Dayan did not have the rule that elders should mourn for younger generations, and compared to Qian Dynasty, they liked to dress more luxuriously.But Mrs. Yuantai still deliberately dressed up more elegantly.She only wore a moon-white jacket with precious flowers and valerian patterns, and paired it with a royal blue brocade skirt with beads and deer patterns.Although she had a high bun, she did not wear any gold jewelry, and only wore silver and jade as ornaments. This was probably to show the Pei family that the Yuan family was apologetic about Pei Linlang.

The person sitting in the first place on the lower right is naturally her cheap dad. Although he is also wearing a light-colored silver robe with dark patterns and floral patterns, a partridge embroidered with gold thread can be seen on the looming collar that is turned out.The opposite person on the left is naturally her uncle whom she has never seen before.

To be fair, her uncle looks nothing like the Pei family.Yuan Miaoyi and Yuan Lingheng both look more like their mother. From their looks, it is not difficult to see what kind of beauty Pei Linlang is.

Although Pei Zhao looks ordinary, he has been an official for many years and now he is in charge.As soon as Da Ma Jin Dao sat there, he naturally showed a shrewd, capable and masterful aura.

As for Yuan Fuwei, his official career has not been smooth over the years, and he has also been uninhibited in women's sex. The youthful and romantic skin of his youth has been completely eroded by wine and sex.Therefore, although he is about the same age as Pei Zhao, he looks much older than Pei Zhao.

The woman sitting next to Pei Zhao has a beautiful face and plain clothes. She has only two silk orchid steps inserted sideways on her half-rolled green bun.She waved to Yuan Miaoyi with a gentle voice: "Is this Miaoyi? I am your aunt. The last time I saw you, you were still in your infancy, and you have grown so big in a blink of an eye."

Yuan Miaoyi saw her steps barely swaying in her movements, and secretly praised her good work. Then she bowed to her and Pei Zhao in an obedient manner, and called her uncle and aunt.

Pei Zhao's serious face softened a little and he nodded towards her.Zheng Yunyu stretched out his hand to help her up, asked her to sit next to him, and asked her what illness she had, where she had seen the doctor, and what medicine she was taking now.

When he spoke, he looked like a kind and natural caring elder.Yuan Miaoyi lowered her head and answered one by one.

During the conversation, Zheng Yunyu also secretly looked at Yuan Miaoyi in his heart.I saw that although she was young and her figure was a little frail, no matter how she dressed or spoke or behaved, she was all appropriate and elegant.

What's more, she was born with a good color. Although her appearance was beautiful, she was neither charming nor seductive.Even though she still has some sickly appearance, it does not detract from her orchid-like beauty.

Zheng Yunyu liked it in her heart, so she stretched out her hand to caress her hair with some affection and said: "Now that the disease is cured, we must take good care of ourselves. My aunt brought a purple ginseng plant when she came this time, and she will have someone deliver it to her later." Go there. Look how thin you are. I don’t know how heartbroken your mother will be when she sees you." After saying this, his eyes turned red.

When Yuan Miaoyi heard her mention Pei Linlang, it was like she had residual feelings from her original body. She felt a pain in her heart and her hands trembled a little.

In Mrs. Yuantai's ears, Zheng Yunyu's words sounded quite ringing.She wiped her eyes and said:

"Oh, it's Yi'er's filial piety. This child knelt down on her own and refused to rest no matter who tried to persuade her. She knelt down and fainted. After all, mother and daughter are connected. Her mother's love for her was not in vain."

Zheng Yunyu said nothing, only a trace of ridicule flashed in his half-downed eyes.She didn't understand what Mrs. Yuantai meant, she just thought it was ridiculous.

She was the eldest daughter in the family when she was still alive. Although her mother was only a side branch of the Pei family, her father's family was also a famous one.After marrying Pei Zhao, she became the wife of the Pei family. How could she not know the twists and turns in this inner house.

It was Yuan Miaoyi who had to kneel all night, but she was a pampered little lady, and naturally she had a maid serving her, so how could she be so sick?

Thinking about it, seeing that she had lost her mother, many of the servants in the house were neglectful, and Mrs. Yuantai was afraid that they would use this as a raft.In this way, Yuan Miaoyi was too filial, which made it difficult for them to talk.

Yuan Miaoyi was also a little amused. In her opinion, Mrs. Yuantai didn't like this second son very much, so she couldn't even be said to be very loving to her and Yuan Lingheng.But she must value the reputation of the Rong'an Hou Mansion very much, so she can ignore Yuan Miaoyi, but she will not neglect the Pei family.

But this matter is just a minor matter. After all, Yuan Miaoyi is now in peace, and Zheng Yunyu doesn't want to gossip about this matter.

She patted Yuan Miaoyi's hand and smiled and said: "Good boy, it's cold in Shengjing and you are weak. My aunt came in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything, only a lot of good leather. Let Aunt Zhao Take your brother and you to pick out some clothes to wear as a meeting gift for your aunt." After saying that, she glanced at the maid beside her.

Yuan Miaoyi knew that this was to distract her and her brother and tell them something they couldn't listen to.In all likelihood, it will revolve around her mother's death from illness, and the conversation will certainly not be pleasant. After all, their surname is Yuan, so they find an excuse to pass it off.

She said nothing, bowed politely, and let Aunt Zhao lead her and Yuan Lingheng out.Just when he was at the door, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Dongxia beside him.

Dongxia followed her, and immediately nodded slightly with understanding, and quietly went to the back of the main hall.

The things brought by the Pei family were placed in the small flower hall in the west courtyard, which was still some distance away from the main house.The wind and snow outside were getting stronger. As soon as he stepped out of the veranda, Yuan Miaoyi coughed twice when the cold wind blew in his face.

Speaking of which, I don't know if it's because she hasn't integrated well with this body yet, but Yuan Miaoyi's body has always been a little weak.Even if I drank the liquid tonic these past few days, it didn't seem to have any effect.

Yuan Lingheng, who was walking a little ahead, heard her cough a few times and immediately slowed down to check the temperature of her hand stove.Feeling that the hand stove was still hot, he put it against the back of her hand. Seeing that the back of her hand was cold, he quickly gave her his warm sleeve.

"It's windy today. Why didn't the waiter around you bring you a sleeve warmer when he came out?" Yuan Lingheng shook her hand with some worry.

Yuan Miaoyi felt the warmth still remaining in the warm sleeves pressing against the back of her cold hands, and breathed a sigh of relief.She and Yuan Lingheng were walking side by side and turned to look at him: "Brother, don't blame them. It's because I live not far from the main hall, so I don't want to bring this trouble with me."

Yuan Lingheng nodded her forehead with some disapproval: "You, your body is not fully recovered yet, what should you do if you catch a cold again?"

Yuan Miaoyi touched the fleeting warmth on her forehead, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

In her previous life, although she had the noble title of princess, her life was anything but comfortable.Her mother was just a little Baolin in the palace. She died of illness soon after giving birth to her. After her death, she was only given the title of Jieyu.Her father's harem had no owner, and there were so many beauties that naturally there were many princes and even more princesses.

If there is no legitimate son, then anyone has the possibility of ascending to the supreme position.The princes below were almost mortal enemies for the throne, and even some princesses with little background were involved, many of whom were used as cannon fodder.She has no powerful maternal clan and no biological brothers. Although she is a princess, her body is like duckweed.

Yuan Miaoyi fought with all her strength and took sides. In fact, she just wanted to live a good life.

Seeing that she had made the right bet, her father had established a prince, and the stable and peaceful days she wanted were about to come, she was inexplicably reborn here, and then everything had to start from scratch.Even if she has always been tough-minded, she will inevitably feel unhappy in the middle of the night when no one is around.So these days, although she tried hard to face the current situation, it was still difficult for her to devote herself wholeheartedly to her current life.

But these days, she also felt caring and caring that she had never experienced in her previous life.As the eldest son in the family, Yuan Lingheng had to be busy with his mother's death and study at the same time.But even though he was as busy as a top, Yuan Lingheng never forgot to come to her yard to see her.

Or ask her about the soup she took today, or tell her something about what he saw when he was studying abroad to understand her emotions.Any servants in the courtyard who are careless will be sent away immediately.

Just like what happened just now, Yuan Lingheng would notice it immediately even if he sneezed.Such considerate care would make it difficult for even the most cold-hearted person to remain unmoved.

Suddenly, Yuan Miaoyi felt that there was nothing wrong with staying here.Although there is no mother, the father does not seem to be very qualified.However, she has her biological brother who cares for her closely, and her uncle who cares about her wholeheartedly far away.

This may also be God's compensation for her having to do everything possible to survive in her previous life, so that she can be a good brother's younger sister and live calmly in this life.
