Hidden golden branches

It started to rain lightly the next day, and it was drizzling in the yard. The autumn mood gradually became stronger.

Today is not a big court meeting, so Chen Youyu doesn't have to get up at five o'clock to go to the morning court. However, he still has to get up at Mao o'clock to go to the morning court. Yun Man helps him put on the court clothes and helps him tie the rhinoceros leather belt, ribbon, and right robe tie.

It's still difficult for him to take care of this alone, and Yun Man usually helps with all of this.

Unless it was a big court meeting, when Yun Man was very sleepy, Chen Youyu couldn't bear to wake her up. He carried the clothes and accessories he wanted to wear into the bright room, and called his eldest son, Qu Ning, to come in and help him take care of them.

After having breakfast in a hurry, he wore a purple official robe, held up a twenty-four-bone red oil paper umbrella, and strode outside the courtyard.

Aunt Jiang and Aunt Zhang, who came to congratulate her and say hello early in the morning, only saw the upright figure from a distance, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Although the man who is far away is also their husband, he is a complete stranger.

They usually only see him from a distance a few times throughout the year. Only on New Year's Eve do they really see him in person, but he doesn't even look at them.

It's not as good as the rough lady who sweeps the floors in the house who sees him as much.

When the rough lady saw him, she would greet him and call him "Master". Except on New Year's Eve, they lowered their heads and called him "Master" for more than ten years. talk.

Yesterday, the news that Mrs. Zheng came over to propose marriage to Chen and Rong soon spread to Zicuiyuan.

When Aunt Jiang from Zi Cuiyuan heard the good news, she and Aunt Zhang from Zi Su Yuan naturally went to Fu'an Hall to congratulate the Yun family.

Aunt Jiang and Aunt Zhang came to Fu'an Hall to pay their respects to Yun Man on the first and third day of the Lunar New Year. Normally, they never hung around in front of Yun Man.

It's not that they don't want to come to Fu'an Hall to pay their respects, but that Yunman doesn't need them to come to Fu'an Hall.

Yun Man wanted to turn a blind eye and not want them to come over and look upset.

Aunt Jiang was originally the eldest daughter of Jiang Shuli, who was admitted to the Eighth Grade Imperial Academy. Due to the early death of her aunt, she and her two younger brothers had to live in front of their stepmother, and life was difficult.

But when her family members said that she was going to be married to Chen Youyu, the second young master of the Chen family, she suddenly felt happy and had expectations. She was looking forward to marrying the perfect and knowledgeable top scholar in the hearts of women in the boudoir as soon as possible.

Even if what he wants to marry is a concubine, none of the noble nobles in Kyoto would try their best to marry their concubine to him.

The Chen family does not have a high official position, but it is also a noble family with a profound background.

Not to mention having a son who is the number one scholar?

Given time, the Chen family will surely prosper and prosper.

If you can marry into the Chen family, you will reach heaven in one step. Not to mention the eldest daughter in mourning who has lost her mother and is not loved by her father, even the legitimate daughters of the Bohou family are willing to be his concubines.

Aunt Jiang took Chen Youyu as her concubine with an admiring girl's heart, but she didn't know that Chen Youyu didn't come to the newlyweds. She didn't see Chen Youyu's face for many days after entering the house.

At first, Aunt Jiang thought it was her mistress who was causing trouble, and she secretly bit her silver teeth with hatred.

Until that day, the little master is full.

After a twists and turns, he had a romantic relationship with the drunken Chen Youyu, and finally got what he wanted.

Although Aunt Jiang was tired, she didn't want to sleep. She forced her tired eyes to look at Chen Youyu and stayed up all night.

Sighing, how come this man is so handsome?

In her heart, she still planned to hold on to him tightly from now on, to gain his favor, and to snatch him back from the Yun family.

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. When Chen Youyu woke up the next day and saw a strange woman on the bed, he quickly stood up from the bed in horror as if he had seen something dirty, and did not forget to shout to the guards beside him: "Quick, hurry up." Get rid of this woman and find out who is behind it!"

He had forgotten that he had taken a concubine.

Aunt Jiang’s heart is broken into pieces!

No matter how sad and disappointed she is, no matter how unwilling she is, no matter how despairing she is, life will always go on.

However, she didn't expect it, and God couldn't bear to see her heartbroken. Only that night, Lin'er was in her belly.

Although Chen Youyu ignored her, she was pretty good to her children.

He found a teacher to educate him since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was sent to the Royal Academy, the highest level of education.

As long as they don't like the mother and son, don't hang around him.

Mistress Yun was also a rare person who was easy to meet. She never tried to harass them, nor did she ask her son to leave. She was so called by the mistress that she was recorded in the eldest daughter's family and separated her mother and son.

Moreover, clothing and jewelry throughout the year are distributed on time every month, and the food is good.

Gradually, Mrs. Jiang also thought about it. After all, she still had a son with her, which was better than Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang was born in a married woman, had no children, and was lonely all her life.

The overthinking Aunt Jiang secretly regarded herself as a widow who lost her husband. However, as a widow, she didn't have to look at other people's eyes or worry about her livelihood every day.

Not only did she not have to worry about food and clothing, but after eating and drinking every day, she could also leisurely play horse-drawn games and leaf cards with Aunt Zhang and the nuns.

This little life was pretty good.

"Let's go." Aunt Jiang leaned against the girl holding an oil-paper umbrella and said to Aunt Zhang, who was still looking at the long-disappeared person at the end of the corridor.

When the male master was sixteen years old, Aunt Zhang was sent by the old woman to serve in the male master's mistress until they got married when the male master was nineteen years old.

Since the male master got married, he has never waited on the pillow again.

Even if there was a trace of love and concern for the male protagonist in my heart, it had already become indifferent with the passage of more than 20 years.

After Yun Man woke up, she leaned against a pillow made of silk with gold threads. She turned her head and found that the quilt around her was messy, but no one was there.

Hey, this guy.

Yun Man shook his head and smiled warmly.

Over the years, Yun Man would only ask her to help him put on official robes that were slightly more complicated than usual unless he woke up.

He never seemed to wake her up when he stood up. When they first got married, Yun Man still had a headache from it.

She was originally a very light sleeper, but she didn't know whether it was because she slept too well after marrying into the Chen family, or because Chen Youyu woke up too lightly.

Wearing a lilac-faced brocade veil, with beautiful gold and silver lilac pearls on her earlobes, she came in to clean up the mat. Two girls came in, one carrying a steaming brass basin, and the other carrying a glazed basin. In the ear room, wait for Yunman to wash up.

After Yun Man came out from washing, Mingzhu put on a lake-blue five-bat engraved silk jacket. Then she sat in front of the red sandalwood dresser. Mingzhu used an ebony comb inlaid with emeralds to do a simple bun for her, and wore South Sea beads. Hoops, gold cage earrings.

Aunt Jiang: We are not as good as servants in the eyes of the master. When a servant calls him, he still responds. We are his little wives and when he calls him, he doesn’t even look at us. Heartbroken.

Yun Man: Your food and pension are too much for you, so what else can you complain about?

Xiao Zi: As long as you stay calm and don't steal men from her, your straightforward mistress won't try to tease you.
