After rebirth, I became Little Marquis’s Bai Yueguang

Chapter 6

After the last sacrifice, except Yuan Lingheng and Yuan Miaoyi, they had to observe filial piety, and the rest of the Yuan family gradually excepted Bai.

But taking a concubine just after the death of the main wife is not a glorious thing.

The Yuan family, which had finally left the sight of nobles and nobles in Shengjing, was discussed again. This time, the wife's attitude was extremely tough and she would never allow Yuan Fuwei to take charge.

Although Yuan Fuwei felt sorry for Liu Shutang, he didn't dare to really make the madam angry.So I could only choose a good day, and a small sedan would carry the person into the house from the side door to settle the matter.

However, Liu Shutang was still Yuan Fuwei's favorite person, and she was pregnant. Yuan Fuwei subsidized Liu Shutang with a large amount of money from his own private treasury.

Mrs. Yuan Tai had a tough stance on the matter of organizing the ceremony, but now that they had entered the house, Mrs. Yuan still felt free to reward her with some hairpin rings and jewelry.

And these things have nothing to do with Yuan Miaoyi for the time being.

Pei Zhao, who has finished everything in the capital, will return to Jing with Zheng Yunyu today.Yuan Lingheng brought Yuan Miaoyi to Pei Mansion to see him off.

Her cloak today is made of the leather Zheng Yunyu brought from Jingzhou.

A large cloak with a wind pocket made of white fox fur, with a thumb-sized pearl as a buckle on the collar.Yuan Miaoyi's face was half buried in her cloak, which made her look more childish and girlish.

Besides Bai Zhi and Dong Xia, there were also people who came up from Hedong a few days ago.

Zheng Yunyu always did things properly. He knew that the personal maids around Yuan Miaoyi were all named after herbs, so he changed their names after deciding on the candidates.

One is called Isatis and the other is Du Ruo.There is also a nanny named Cui, who is said to be the best at taking care of the body and is good at making soups and soups.

After getting along with her for a while, Zheng Yunyu fell in love with Yuan Miaoyi very much.She reached out and stroked the fox fur on Yuan Miaoyi's cheek: "My face looks much better today. It shows that I have been obedient and rested well these past few days."

Yuan Miaoyi said warmly: "Then I have to thank my aunt for the many medicinal materials she sent me, and the soup that Aunt Cui made for me. Will my complexion be better if I warm it up with so many good medicines?"

Zheng Yunyu smiled and said to Aunt Zhao, "Did you hear that? You have such a eloquent mouth. You can say nice things to make me happy."

Aunt Zhao smiled at the side and said, "That's because the madam is very happy when she sees the second lady. Naturally, she feels happy when she hears anything."

As Zheng Yunyu walked out with Yuan Miaoyi, she told her: "My natal brother is in Shengjing. Good boy, if something happens and you don't have time to write to your uncle and aunt, just go find him."

Yuan Miaoyi smiled and nodded, and the two of them walked outside while talking.

The servants were loading luggage onto the carriage one after another. Zheng Yunyu told her all the things he could think of, and Yuan Miaoyi obeyed them all obediently.

At the end, Zheng Yunyu turned to Aunt Cui, who had been following Yuan Miaoyi, and said: "You are also a person who handles things for the elderly. When Shihua recommended you to me, he said that you were steady and honest, so I entrusted the second lady to you. You You have to take good care of it.”

The Shihua that Zheng Yunyu was talking about should be the current clan wife of the Pei clan's old branch.In terms of seniority, she is Zheng Yunyu's nephew-in-law, and she is also from a Longxi family.

This time, Zheng Yunyu entrusted Yuan Miaoyi with the task of choosing a personal attendant.Due to Yuan Miaoyi's situation, Zheng Yunyu briefly explained in her letter that she knew the elegant meaning of Xiange after hearing it, and chose mature and steady people.

After hearing this, Aunt Cui responded quickly: "I will serve you with my heart, and I will never dare to act half-heartedly."

Zheng Yunyu nodded and reached out to gather his cloak.

Over there, Pei Zhao and uncle and nephew Yuan Lingheng were still talking.

The day before yesterday, Pei Zhao had met with Xiao Yunyue in private.

Pei Zhao had been in Jingzhou for a long time, but he didn't expect that this young marquis, who had made outstanding achievements in battle at a young age, was also very clear-cut when talking about political affairs, and he couldn't help but appreciate him a little more.

What's more, he was born in an extremely noble family and was not arrogant.Pei Zhao is also happy to see his nephew become friendly with him.

"Although it has delayed this time's scientific examination, it still gives me three more years. Your teacher's idea is right. Instead of ending up like this, it is better to get a good ranking in three years."

Yuan Lingheng nodded and responded: "Of course, besides, keeping filial piety to one's mother is one's duty to one's son. Don't worry, uncle."

Pei Zhao looked at his nephew with admiration and said: "You are very independent. You do not rely on the seal but rely on the scientific examination to enter the officialdom. Today, I am not a conservative person, and the court is in urgent need of talents. You have a long-term vision, and my uncle is very Be happy for your mother."

Compared with those who rely on family cover to find a job, those who came from the scientific examination are naturally more orthodox, and will be more successful in the officialdom in the future.

After saying this, Pei Zhao glanced at Yuan Miaoyi who was listening to Zheng Yunyu and said in a deep voice: "You are the eldest brother and now the heir, so your sister wants you to take more care of her. Don't forget your mother's instructions, and Your responsibility.”

Yuan Lingheng also said seriously: "This is natural, Jiao Jiao is my only sister."

Because he still had to hurry, the chief attendant beside Pei Zhao saw that the sun was already high, so he came up and whispered: "Master, it's time."

Pei Zhao nodded and helped Zheng Yunyu get into the carriage first, then himself.Yuan Miaoyi stood beside Yuan Lingheng and watched with him as Pei Zhao and his wife left.

Seeing that the carriage was no longer in sight, Yuan Miaoyi turned to Yuan Lingheng and said, "Brother, let's go."

It snowed again for a while on the way. As soon as she got off the carriage, Yuan Miaoyi was caught off guard by the cold wind and shivered slightly.

Yuan Lingheng immediately noticed her small movement and immediately turned sideways to block the cold wind blowing from her: "Go in quickly, don't stand here anymore."

It wasn't until he returned to her courtyard that he suddenly felt warm.There is a bottle of red plums placed at the entrance, and the plum fragrance is scented in the room by the heater.

Dongxia took Yuan Miaoyi's cloak and whispered: "Girl, not long after you and the eldest son left this morning, the master has already taken him into the house and placed him in Linfeng Courtyard to the west."

Linfeng Courtyard was far away from the East Courtyard where she and her brother were, presumably because of Mrs. Tai's arrangement.

Yuan Miaoyi responded and said, "What else? Did my father send someone to call my brother and me?"

Jianlan served tea to Yuan Miaoyi and then said: "You are absolutely right. After you went out, the master's entourage came. I know that after you and the prince went out, there was no news over there."

When Yuan Miaoyi went out today, she only took Bai Zhi and Du Ruo with her, while Dong Xia and Ji Lan stayed at home to take care of them.

Because Bai Zhi and Dong Xia Yuan are also from Hedong, the rules here at Yuan Miao Yi are somewhat similar to those at Pei's.In the past few days, Aunt Cui, Silang Lan, and Du Ruo have been able to take care of things in Yuan Miaoyi's house very skillfully.

Aunt Cui helped Yuan Miaoyi take off the hairpin ring, and said with some worry: "Girl, you are acting like this today, as is the etiquette. I'm just afraid that the master will be unhappy." The Pei family is a serious in-law of the Yuan family, and She was the elder of Yuan Miaoyi and Yuan Lingheng, while Liu Shutang was just a concubine.Logically speaking, when Pei Zhao and his wife left Beijing, it was only right that they went to see each other off.But acting like this today will definitely make Yuan Fuwei unhappy.

Yuan Miaoyi slowly combed her hair and said softly: "Even if I stay at home today, my father will not be very happy. Besides, is it possible that he asked me and my brother to stay at home and wait for him to take a concubine, instead of neglecting me?" Uncle and aunt? There is absolutely no one in the world who behaves like this."

Because of the matter of establishing the crown prince, Fuwei has seen the two brothers and sisters being very cold in the past few days.Yuan Miaoyi had known this would happen, so she didn't care.

After saying that, she smiled faintly at Aunt Cui: "I know what's going on, so there's no need to worry, Auntie."

Aunt Cui sighed, knowing that Yuan Miaoyi was telling the truth.At the moment, he didn't say anything more, and just neatly combed Yuan Miaoyi's hair in a homely style.

Angelica dahurica and woad served Yuan Miaoyi to change clothes, while Aunt Cui went to the small kitchen to get the kudzu soup that had been stewed in the morning.She is very good at cooking. Over the past few days, she has roughly figured out Yuan Miaoyi's preferences. She has a light taste and does not like overly sweet food.

When Grandma Cui returned to the main room with the soup, she thought about it as she walked.In fact, Yuan Miaoyi is not a difficult master to maintain.She has a gentle and intelligent personality, and has always been quiet, and is rarely harsh on those she serves.

But although she looks gentle, she is actually very determined in her heart.She has her own considerations for everything, and will rarely change her actions based on a few words from others.Aunt Cui is always afraid that one day her personality will hurt her.

Although Grandma Cui was thinking about something in her mind, she was still very efficient in doing things.After Yuan Miaoyi finished the soup, he helped her take a nap.

In Linfeng Courtyard, Yuan Fuwei had been accompanying Liu Shutang.But after a while, the wife came to look for him, saying that she had something important and asked the master to go there as soon as possible.

Liu Shutang walked Yuan Fuwei out of the outer courtyard with his belly supported, and then let Bitao support her as she slowly walked back to the courtyard after no one was seen.

Her belly is now very big. After seeing a doctor, it is expected that it will start in the next few days.

Since there had just been a funeral in the palace, and the wife did not allow it to be arranged, Liu Shutang did not wear red or green today.Yuan Fuwei felt apologetic in her room, but Liu Shutang comforted him for a long time.

She said that she just wanted to be by the master's side forever, and she didn't care about other things outside her body.Liu Shutang was dressed simply today, with a charming and delicate appearance, which aroused Yuan Fuwei's pity.

After she entered the palace, Yuan Fuwei assigned her four more maids and several servant girls.But Bitao is still the only one who can serve her personally.

Bi Tao loosened her bun and said, "It's true, Madam, that the mourning period has just passed and it's not easy to handle. Even ordinary people don't have such a simple way of taking concubines. Moreover, the people in the East Courtyard And I chose to go out today."

Liu Shutang casually fiddled with the hairpin ring in the makeup box and said: "Who are you from the East Courtyard? You have to call me Prince and Second Miss. If so, don't say it again in the future. I have to be careful everywhere when I enter the house now. Yes. If your words are heard by someone who is interested, how many troubles will arise?"

"What's more." Liu Shutang picked out a beaded hairpin and handed it to Bi Tao, asking her to tie it on for her: "They are the master and I am the concubine. If they don't come, who can find any fault? "

Bi Tao responded, but still whispered: "I just feel aggrieved for you."

Liu Shutang touched his already tight belly and said in a sweet voice: "Where have we been? If you feel aggrieved even now, there will be countless grievances in the future. Bitao, please remember, if you can't bear even a moment of anger, , how can you achieve great things? You should be careful in your words and deeds in the future, especially when you meet people from the East Campus, you should be 12 respectful."

Bitao rearranged her hair into a bun and tied it with a hairpin: "I know this."

Yuan Miaoyi slept until it was time to turn on the lamp, and then Aunt Cui woke her up.

After Bai Zhi and Dong Xia waited on her to wash up, Du Ruocai came back from outside: "Girl, there was a message from the front. They said that they won't serve food in the front hall today, and they will eat in their respective courtyards."

"I know." Yuan Miaoyi took a sip of tea and said, "Just have a lighter dinner."

Isatis responded and hurried to the small kitchen to give instructions.

Dinner was longevity porridge cooked in the small kitchen, served with a few seasonal side dishes, and it was very delicious.When Yuan Miaoyi was halfway through, Isatis suddenly rushed in from outside.

Aunt Cui scolded from the side: "What's the matter in such a panic?" Seeing this, Yuan Miaoyi gently put down the spoon in her hand and asked softly: "What's wrong, but what happened in the West Courtyard?"

Silan calmed down her breathing before saying, "I heard that Aunt Liu in the West Courtyard seems to be giving birth."

As soon as these words came out, everyone else in the inner room turned to look at Yuan Miaoyi.

Yuan Miaoyi just said lightly: "I know." Then she started eating her meal slowly.

Seeing this, Aunt Cui asked the others to go out and do other things.After serving her slowly and finishing the meal, he asked in a low voice: "Girl, aren't you impatient?"

"What are you anxious about?" Yuan Miaoyi walked towards the inner room.Aunt Cui followed her, and when she saw her sitting beside Arhat's bed, she moved the lamp on the Kang table further for her: "If Aunt Liu gives birth to a son..."

Yuan Miaoyi gathered the shawl at her hand and said: "Even if she does not give birth to a son this time, she will have a son in the future. And with my father's character, there may be other aunts in the courtyard in the future, and there will be more New child. If I am impatient, can I come here in a hurry?"

Seeing her unhurried look, Grandma Cui felt relieved.

Yuan Miaoyi's tone was soft, and she always spoke in a leisurely manner, with a calmness that said everything was under control: "Whether it's a son or a daughter, it's not the most important thing. Don't be impatient, after all, you have the same destiny." She can't get over this easily."

After getting along with each other for the past few days, it was difficult for Grandma Cui to treat Yuan Miaoyi like a child, so she couldn't help but ask: "What if the master renews his marriage in the future and the new wife gives birth to a son?"

Yuan Miaoyi laughed when she heard this and said: "I don't know when it will happen. And even if it is like this, so what? My biological brother has been established as the heir apparent."

Whether it's a fight in the inner house or in the court, it's all just for the sake of profit.

Not to mention how long it will take for Yuan Fuwei to continue his marriage, even if his wife has another son, how many years will it take for him to grow up?At that time, Yuan Lingheng might have already married a wife and had children of his own.

Even if Yuan Fuwei loves his younger son more and wants to depose him, the palace will not let him do whatever he wants.

Aunt Cui came back to her senses and understood the meaning of Yuan Miaoyi's words.

"However, we can't take it too lightly." Yuan Miaoyi looked at Grandma Cui and said, "Grandma, you'd better find someone to keep an eye on the situation. If there is any movement, come and report to me."

Aunt Cui agreed and went outside.

Yuan Miaoyi asked Bai Zhi to find a miscellaneous book for herself and read through it slowly.It wasn't until Yuan Miaoyi felt sleepy that Aunt Cui returned to the inner room.

At two o'clock in the morning, Liu Shutang gave birth to a daughter.
