After rebirth, I became Little Marquis’s Bai Yueguang

Chapter 8

Yuan Miaoyi's voice was still soft: "Father said this, he must have thought about it carefully. If grandma feels that she is not energetic, it is also a good thing to have someone to take care of the house for you."

Liu Shutang really had no idea in advance that Yuan Fuwei wanted her to preside over the middle school.But she knew something was wrong when she heard that Yuan Fuwei had gone to see Mrs. Tai this morning.

But she originally thought that Yuan Miaoyi would not agree, but she did not expect that Yuan Miaoyi would actually say these words, which sounded as if she agreed with her to host the middle feed.

She glanced at Yuan Miaoyi subconsciously, but met Yuan Miaoyi's eyes.Yuan Miaoyi smiled at her, but Liu Shutang's heart sank.

"Oh? Madam Liu, do you think so too?" When Mrs. Tai looked over with half-smiling eyes, Liu Shutang knew something was wrong. Mrs. Tai must have thought that she came up with the idea of ​​the palm feed, and suspected that she wanted to Seize power.

Liu Shutang quickly smiled and said: "How do I know how to take care of the housework and preside over the middle class? That's all because the Marquis saw that you were working too hard, so he wanted to promote me."

Because her entry into the family was not very honorable and was deeply implicated, the Madam had always been indifferent to her over the years.It's just that she has always behaved herself in these years and has not caused any big troubles, so we can tolerate her.
Her confession seemed to mean that Yuan Fuwei was filial to the madam, and he wanted to ask her to help after seeing how hard the madam was working.

Mrs. Tai's expression softened a little, and Yuan Miaoyi smiled at the side and said: "Grandma, what Aunt Liu said is that my father feels sorry for your hard work and said this. Now that there is no mistress in the family, why not let Liu It would be nice for my aunt to take care of some small things for you."

Yuan Fuwei has not renewed his marriage, and Yuan Lingheng has not married yet. If there is no official wife in the family to take care of the housework, it would be reasonable to find a concubine with a higher status than other people in the inner house to take care of the housework.

Mrs. Yuantai hesitated a little. She originally thought that Liu Shutang took the initiative to bring up the matter, and letting her take care of the housework would undoubtedly elevate her status invisibly.

She was also afraid that this incident would make Yuan Miaoyi feel uneasy and she would be wronged again and cause trouble at home, so she thought of beating Liu Shutang.But if Yuan Miaoyi doesn't say anything, it would be better...

Mrs. Tai saw Yuan Miaoyi sitting aside and thought about Yuan Fuwei's partiality over the years. Although she had been taken care of by her elder brother, she must have felt aggrieved.

But she has always been filial, sensible, and behaved in a well-behaved manner, and she has never had any trouble.Although he and Yuan Fuwei could not be said to be close, they could still be said to be respectful.

Mrs. Yuantai looked at Yuan Miaoyi again and her eyes became very gentle: "Good child, you are so sensible, and grandma is happy. If you have any grievances, be sure to tell me, and grandma will definitely support you. "

Yuan Miaoyi said in a respectful tone: "My granddaughter will never be wronged. As long as the family is peaceful and harmonious, my grandmother will be able to live in peace."

These words were said very beautifully, and Liu Shutang saw that the way Mrs. Yuan looked at Yuan Miaoyi became even more kind.

"It's just." Yuan Miaoyi suddenly looked hesitant, and Mrs. Tai said: "But if you have anything to say, just say it."

Yuan Miaoyi said softly: "I have been dreaming about my mother in the past few days. My brother and I seldom worship except after serving. Taking advantage of the recent peace in Beijing, there is nothing going on at home. It happens that my brother has a village in the suburbs of Beijing, and his granddaughter Then I thought about going to the Jokhang Temple alone for a few days to meditate."

Jokhang Temple and Futian Village are both located on the outskirts of Beijing, and are not far apart.

Just like what Aunt Cui said, when the wife heard this, she wanted to say no.After all, Yuan Miaoyi is a young lady. If something happens, how will she explain it to the Pei family and Yuan Lingheng.

When Yuan Miaoyi saw the hesitant look on Mrs. Tai's face, she quickly said: "My granddaughter just said that it must be the same for meditating at home. Grandma doesn't need to take it to heart."

But Mrs. Tai thought that Pei Linlang died young and Yuan Miaoyi lost her mother at an early age.Without the love of his mother, he was not very close to his father, and he was partial to his concubine, so he felt a little guilty in his heart.

What's more, the Jokhang Temple is located on the outskirts of Beijing. Although it is far away from the inner city, it is still within the capital.With the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division here, it has been peaceful these years, and no major incidents have ever happened.

With an idea in her mind, the Madam immediately made a decision: "What's so difficult about this? You might as well go out and relax. Let the people around you take good care of you, and bring more people with you."

Yuan Miaoyi looked happy and said, "Thank you, grandma. I heard that there is a thousand-year-old ginkgo in the Jokhang Temple. Eating the fruit will prolong your life. This time, my granddaughter will bring more to grandma."

Mrs. Yuantai smiled and pointed at her and Nanny Liu beside her and said: "Look at this child, he is already thinking about me before he goes." Nanny Liu then joked: "The second lady is actually She is the most filial person, and when I saw the Madam before she had even eaten the fruit, I felt sweet in my heart."

For a time, the atmosphere between grandparents and grandchildren became harmonious.But Yuan Shurong, who had been living peacefully and quietly in Liu Shutang's arms, suddenly became impatient.While clamoring to get down, he was twisting.

The madam put away her smile and looked at Liu Shutang: "Rong'er is younger after all, so I'm afraid it's a bit boring to listen to us talking all the time. That's it for today, let's all disperse. Madam Liu, come to the main room tomorrow Let’s get the right card.”

Liu Shutang handed Yuan Shurong to Bi Tao beside him and hurriedly stood up to answer.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Miaoyi stood up and said, "Then granddaughter won't disturb grandma's rest."

After returning to her courtyard, Yuan Miaoyi asked Bai Zhi and others to pack their bags first, and asked Aunt Cui to prepare her pen and ink. She wanted to reply to Yuan Lingheng.

Aunt Cui served her in the small study and replied to the letter, while saying: "It seems that Mrs. Tai still feels sorry for you, so she agreed to let you go out. Today I gave the person in the west courtyard a hard beating. I think she will be the host of the middle school." I don’t dare to treat you lightly.”

Yuan Miaoyi kept holding her hand, and after hearing what Aunt Cui said, she just smiled and said: "Mrs. Madam, she doesn't feel sorry for me. She is afraid that her brother and the Pei family will be dissatisfied when they find out about this and cause trouble again."

She knew from the time Yuan Miaoyi was reborn that Mrs. Yuantai only loved Rong'an Houfu and her wealth and glory.

Her dissatisfaction with Yuan Fuwei's favoritism and today's beating on Liu Shutang were just because she was afraid that there would be a disturbance in the inner house and cause trouble for the people in Shengjing to laugh at.

If everything is calm in the inner house and she doesn't have the support of her brother and can't stir up any trouble, then the wife will not care who feels wronged and unfair.

Yuan Miaoyi had long seen through the indifference towards the Dowager Madam and Yuan Fuwei's partiality, so she didn't feel there was anything to argue about or feel aggrieved about.

At the moment, she only cares about her brother and the affairs of Futian Village.The rest of the people and things were not worth her trouble.

The reply was written quickly, and Yuan Miaoyi finally said that she would go to Futian Village to check the accounts in person.After sealing the envelope, Yuan Miaoyi quickly finished braiding the braid that was almost finished.

She compared jasper and white jade, and felt that both were not good, and she was a little distressed for a while.It was Grandma Cui who found a few ruby ​​beads from the box, which were perfect for making tail beads.

Aunt Cui was looking for a box to put the letter and the strings in, and said with a smile: "The girl has made many strings for the prince over the years, and I can see that my craftsmanship is getting better and better." At this time, Bai Zhi, who had packed her things, also walked in. , she was the first maid to follow Yuan Miaoyi.

Hearing what Aunt Cui said, she joked: "Auntie also said that the girl's earliest practice made the knot very crooked. The girl was too embarrassed to give it away, but who knew that the prince would treasure it as much as anything after getting it, so he took it with him. I had it with me for more than half a year, and it wasn’t until the girl got a new tube that I had to replace it.”

Braiding is one of the compulsory courses for women in the boudoir in Dayan.When Yuan Miaoyi was still a princess, she never learned this.Although she is smart, her skills require hard practice.

Yuan Miaoyi sighed and said: "Whenever I have a eldest sister-in-law, I won't have to do these things." Aunt Cui served tea and said: "When then, the girl will have to give it to herself if she can't. My husband takes care of this."

Yuan Miaoyi drank tea and smiled slightly: "These things are not interesting if they are not done with sincere care. However, if a husband and wife can respect each other as guests throughout their lives, it will be a blessing."

As soon as Liu Shutang returned to Linfeng Courtyard, he first asked another maid in the courtyard to take Yuan Shurong to the second room to rest.Seeing Bitao close the door, Liu Shutang put away the smile on his face.

She put her forehead on her hand and sighed deeply.Bi Tao came over and rubbed her forehead and said, "Madam, it's a good thing to get the right to receive the middle gift. You don't need to worry too much."

Over the years, although Liu Shutang had other maids around him, Bitao was the most caring to her.She patted Bi Tao's hand, pointed to Xiudun beside her and said, "Sit there and talk."

Bi Tao responded and sat down on the embroidered pier: "The master still values ​​you. If you preside over the middle wife, apart from the status, there will be no difference between you and the head wife."

Liu Shutang felt that the tendons on her forehead were throbbing with pain. She waved her hands and said, "That's not important. In such an honorable family, it's really not that easy to get the middle child. What's more, the difference in status is not It can be made up for so easily.”

"What's more," Liu Shutang raised the corner of his mouth with a cold arc: "Over the years, have you ever seen the person in the east courtyard suffer a loss? She wholeheartedly agreed with this matter, so this matter is not that simple. "

I thought he was just a young man who was easy to handle, but I never thought he was more troublesome than Pei Linlang.

Whether Yuan Fuwei is partial or treats her coldly, she doesn't seem to care.He always looked filial and respectful to Mrs. Tai and Yuan Fuwei, and even towards her, he never showed any signs of resentment or hatred, leaving no one with the slightest clue.

Bitao also hesitated a little: "Perhaps the second lady knows that it was the master who suggested it, and she doesn't want to offend the master?"

The sneer at the corner of Liu Shutang's lips deepened: "Don't look at the filial and respectful look on the one in the east courtyard, but I know that she definitely doesn't take the Marquis into her heart."

After saying that, she took another deep breath: "But you are right, it is better to have the Zhongzhi in our hands than to fall into the hands of others. Did the Marquis stay at Qin's place again yesterday?"

Bi Tao nodded and said: "This month, the Marquis will be at her place half the time. Madam, you have to pay attention."

Liu Shutang shook his head and said, "That's not important. The Marquis is just looking at her. What's important is," she touched her flat belly, "I have to have a child as soon as possible. If you are the heir, No matter how good I am at hosting the wedding ceremony, I am just making a wedding dress for others."

In the past three years, Yuan Fuwei has successively added several confidantes to his side.But not even Liu Shutang could get pregnant.

The Yuan family only had one son, Yuan Lingheng, and that direct descendant was the most powerful one in the Yuan family.No matter how many plans Liu Shutang made, they were all in vain.

Bitao stood up, approached Liu Shutang and whispered: "Madam, I already have some clues about the person you asked me to find. In a few days, there may be good news."

There was finally good news today. Liu Shutang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Keep an eye on him. Once you find him, bring him into the house to see me."

In the evening, a heavy rain suddenly broke out in Shengjing City, and the sky became darker earlier than usual.

In the Princess Jinyang's mansion, the servants walked through the mansion in an orderly manner and lit the lamps everywhere early.

The eldest princess of Jinyang was packing Xiao Yunyue's luggage in the same way as the aunt in charge beside her.

Since she ascended the throne today, she has been living a noble and comfortable life, so her appearance still does not show the traces of time.

The eldest princess of Jinyang inherited the stunning beauty from her mother's family, but she has a noble status and a graceful bearing.Therefore, although the appearance is gorgeous, it is difficult to make people feel frivolous.

In her own house, she did not wear palace clothes, only ordinary clothes, and her hair was loosely tied.Looking under the dim light in the room, she felt a bit hazy, which made her appearance even more beautiful.

Duke Dingguo, who had been sitting next to him while drinking tea, couldn't help laughing as he listened to Princess Jinyang's names one by one: "Why don't you move the bed to your son too? How old is he?" ? Even when fighting at the border, it may not be so sophisticated, let alone just going to Jiangnan Road."

The eldest princess of Jinyang gouged out her husband and said, "You put it lightly, Yun Yue is just my son? This time I went to Jiangnan for an unannounced visit, and the imperial brother had no clear purpose. I don't think there are many collusions of interests in Jiangnan. How much easier it would be for my son to go to war.”

Dingguo Gong was born as a military general. He spent several years at the border and fought countless battles in his life.When there is no smile on his face, he looks quite dignified.But when he looked at his wife, his coldness softened.

The eldest princess handed the paper to the aunt on the side. The female officer pursed her lips and smiled. Knowing that the eldest princess wanted to talk to Duke Ding about some intimate words, she put away her things and left.

Seeing that everyone had left, the eldest princess sat down next to her husband and said, "Now that the border has settled down for the time being, I thought Yun Yue could stay with me for a longer time. But he also went here today and there tomorrow, like A falcon with no tethered legs has no time to spare."

Duke Ding took his wife in his arms and said, "It's a good thing that the emperor thinks highly of him. Who in the capital doesn't envy us for giving birth to a good son? Besides, how old is he? It's time for him to gain experience, so you can let him go."

The eldest princess leaned into her husband's arms and sighed: "I don't care whether others are envious or not. I only have one child. If he is safe, I will be happy."

"Don't worry, our son is not that reckless person." Dingguo Gong patted his wife's hand: "Besides, although there is no explicit order, the emperor brother gave Yunyue a secret order to supervise Jiangnan Road. The officials will be transferred as he pleases, and he knows that everything will be fine."

The eldest princess sighed and said, "I hope so."
