Rebirth: Houmen's Wife

Seeing the backs of the third concubine and the fourth concubine disappearing around the corner, Su Shiwan finally raised her drooping head. Under the eyelids, there was no sadness or grievance, and the stars were smiling.

"Bitao, since Third Aunt and Fourth Aunt have already gone to see Dad, it must be very lively at Dad's place, so we don't want to go, I want to go back and pray for the baby."

With that said, Su Shiwan turned around and walked back with Bi Tao swaying her floor-length dress.

Liu Xia, who was about to go out, saw Su Shiwan who had gone and returned, and shoved what she was holding into her sleeves, "Young Madam, you, why did you come back so quickly?"

A flash of clarity flashed in Su Shiwan's almond eyes, and her gaze swept over Liu Xiazheng's hands that were at a loss, "The third aunt and the fourth aunt have both gone, so I didn't go. I was afraid of disturbing my father to rest, so I'd better wait a while." Let's go again."

Seeing that Su Shiwan didn't notice anything strange about her, Liu Xia felt relieved, and said with a smile: "That's right, the most important thing is for the master to rest when he's sick, so this servant will go and prepare some cakes for the young lady."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing Liu Xia leave, Bi Tao couldn't help but said, "Young Madam, this Liu Xia was clearly hiding something just now, why didn't you expose her just now?"

"I know exactly what she's thinking. The reason why I keep her by my side is to use his and her thoughts for my own use. Anyway, you'd better keep an eye on this Liu Xiabitao, and you won't find anything. Just break it down and tell me directly."

"Yes, I'll save you, servant girl."

She knew in her heart that Su Shiwan's arrangement must have her own intentions. At this time, Bi Tao not only had an emotional trust in Su Shiwan from childhood, but began to admire her master from the bottom of her heart.

A lot of things are obviously at the expense of her master, but Bitao knows that if she thinks about it carefully, she may not be able to tell who is at the disadvantage. In the words of the master, she just doesn't want the child to be unable to trap the wolf. Eat some now. Lose, let the enemy relax their vigilance, and wait until the day of harvest, what those individuals face is not simply the pain of failure, some also have regrets for making wrong judgments on themselves.

"Let's go see Xiaosha!"

When the two came to the servant's courtyard where Xiaosha was, Xiaosha had just been checked by the doctor, and she walked to the room with the support of a little girl.

Seeing Su Shiwan approaching, Xiaosha's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

It's been so long, although Xiaoyue told herself more than once, the young lady has always been worried about herself, and has always regarded herself as her confidant. Asking herself if she didn't, Xiaosha didn't feel wronged, but she was also helpless.

"Young lady!"

With sobs, Xiaosha looked at Su Shiwan who walked in with teary eyes, and even forgot to salute.

With a look at Bitao, Bitao understood and led the little girl who was supporting Xiaosha back down.

"Xiaosha, I have wronged you recently."

Xiaosha shook her head excitedly, because of the movement of shaking her head, the tears she forcibly held back in her eyes seemed to be bursting mountain springs, flowing down her face sparsely, "Xiaosha is not wronged. I am not wronged at all."

Su Shiwan personally helped Xiaosha to sit on the stone bench beside her, "What did the doctor say?"

Her eyes widened slightly flattered, Xiaosha bit her lip, "The doctor said there is nothing serious, and it will be the same as before in a few days."

"Well, that's good, then take a good rest, when you get better, the young lady has important things for you to do."

"It is Xiaosha's blessing to be able to do things for the young lady." After a little hesitation, Xiaosha suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Su Shiwan, "Xiaosha thank you young lady for your great kindness. If it weren't for the young lady, the elder brother in the family If you make a mistake, you will probably be arrested by the government.”

"Get up." Su Shiwan quickly helped Xiaosha up, "Which gossip told you, didn't he tell you not to disturb your recovery?"

It turned out that the day after Xiaosha was beaten by the third aunt, her brother who was away lost a lot because of gambling, and thought of cheating, but was caught by the people in the gambling shop and beat him up hard. If Xiaosha's father hadn't asked Su Shiwan to come here, Xiaosha's elder brother might not have been abolished.

After finally calming down the agitated Xiaosha, Su Shiwan was about to go back, but Xiaosha held her back when she didn't want to, "Young Madam, in a few days it will be the famous feast of flowers in Shangjing, will you go there then?"

Feast of flowers?Su Shiwan paused in her heart, this feast of flowers is indeed an annual big day in Beijing, and it is hosted by Princess Baihua, the daughter of Lord Rui's beloved daughter.

The princess of Baihua was originally named by the emperor and went to the country of Li with her relatives, but after a year of marriage, the princess of the country of Li died. Lord Rui loved his daughter, so he begged the emperor to let the princess of Baihua reunite. Back to Shangjing.

And this Hundred Flowers Feast is a gathering of nobles who pass the time and get to know each other when the Princess Hundred Flowers is free. I don't want it to gradually evolve into a time for men and women to meet each other.

Many noble ladies would bring their own daughters to this feast of flowers to show their talents, and this Prince Rui also supported his daughter in every possible way and invited a large number of princes and princes to participate.Therefore, this year's Hundred Flowers Feast is very lively, and many officials are honored to be able to attend this Hundred Flowers Feast.

Of course, this feast of flowers does not mean that only unmarried men and women can participate. Married wives and concubines like Su Shiwan can also participate. Everyone wants to have fun, blind date, and relationship.All those who participated understood.

Thinking of the person I met in the Feast of Hundred Flowers in the last life, Su Shiwan, who was already considered as calm as water, couldn't help but her heart beat faster. Will I meet him again this time?

However, what can be done even if they meet?I am still Dongyang Zhoufan's wife, and I still have a huge disparity in status with him, everything is impossible.

Slightly sighed in my heart, "Why am I going to join in the fun! Don't go."

Although I understood everything in my heart, why did my heart seem to be missing a piece when I made the decision not to go?Life is a little painful!

In the evening, Su Shiwan was having dinner, while Bi Tao and Liu Xia waited on her.One was busy laying vegetables, and the other was busy fanning. At this time, the weather was very hot.

"I'm done eating, Liu Xia, let's clean up."

Putting down the silver chopsticks in her hand, Su Shiwan looked tired.

For a moment, Liu Xia felt reconciled, why should she clean up the dishes by herself, it was obviously Bi Tao's job.But knowing Su Shiwan's temper, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she has a weird temper, so she put down her fan honestly, packed up the dishes and went out.

"Bitao, go ask Xiaoyue to come and see me."

At this time, Su Shiwan didn't have the tired look just now, her almond eyes seemed to be as transparent as seeing through human nature.

Bi Tao was about to go out, but there was a knock on the closed door, followed by Xiao Yue's crisp voice, "Young Madam, can Xiao Yue come in?"

"Come in."

With Su Shiwan's permission, Xiaoyue tightened the things in her arms, pushed the door open in two steps and walked in.

Seeing Xiaoyue holding a large bouquet of white camellias in her arms, Su Shiwan's chest tightened involuntarily, "Xiaoyue, where did you get so many camellias?"

He couldn't help looking at the camellia that Gu Lecheng had left in the vase by the window sill that morning, only to see that the camellia had dried up and was left with a yellow and dry flower shape.

The seriousness of Gu Lezhen's hippie smiling face that was different from the past emerged in his mind, "Baby Wanwan, I miss you so much!"

Inexplicably, such a Gu Lecheng-like sentence emerged in his mind, as if this sentence was whispered by Gu Lecheng's guy in his ear.

"Young Madam, this is, this is the one that the man sent to the rice shop and asked Madam Liu to deliver it to the Young Madam. One bouquet per day."

Xiao Yue's words pulled Su Shiwan out of her thoughts.

Signaling Bitao to take the camellia in Xiaoyue's hand, Su Shiwan just let her eyes rest on the painting for a few seconds, then said indifferently: "Bitao, take it out and throw it away."

Bitao and Xiaoyue looked at each other, neither of them dared to say no, in the end Bitao could only leave the room with the white camellia in her hand.

"Bitao, go hold Liu Xia, don't let her come in again."

"Yes. From Bitao Province."

As the door was closed again, Su Shiwan rubbed her forehead, and her tone returned to her usual, "Xiao Yue, what do you say, mammy?"

"Back to the young lady, the business of the rice store is very good. The nanny has put a large amount of rice in the granary according to the order of the young lady. It is estimated that after this tomorrow, the rice store will display a sign that there is no rice. Still Yes, Mammy deposited all the money she earned in the silver building, named after the young lady. The token is the red coral and sapphire necklace given by the young lady."

Why did I take the necklace that Gu Lezhen gave me as a token?Didn't you tell the nanny to sell it?

"What about the matter that Mammy asked to investigate?"

After adding a cup of tea to Su Shiwan, Xiaoyue said slowly, "Young Madam, I didn't expect that Gu Lezhen was really capable, and he could be called a bully as expected. This is a crooked way, and I really can't say for sure." Let’s say he’s a good official, but he’s a rascal; say he’s a bad guy, and he’s always oppressing those officials who oppress the people.”

"How do you say that?" Could it be that apart from Dongyang Rui's mixed comments, this Gu Lezhen had other glorious deeds?

"The mother said, this Gu Lezhen is a famous person in Shangjing, but when he was 15 years old, he volunteered to go to the border to learn combat from General Chen Long, who was very famous in Shangjing at that time. But he has seen a lot, and he was favored by the emperor because he defeated the Cangyu country with a small victory. He was canonized as a second lieutenant by the emperor at the age of eighteen. His military exploits allowed the emperor to seal him as a major general, and he will be the hereditary grand master of Marquis Yongjia forever."

Xiaoyue swallowed her saliva, and then said: "Besides, he is the only grandson of the Grand Master, he is the single heir of the Gu family for three generations. It's strange for the Gu family to say that the Grand Master Gu just got a son from Gu Leyi's father. This son still wholeheartedly advocates Buddhism, eats fast and recites Buddhism all day long. Later, Grand Master Gu forced his son to marry his wife, and gave birth to Gu Lezhen by giving birth to Mrs. Gu. Unexpectedly, Gu Lezhen's father When Gu Lezhen was born, he left home to practice without even looking at him. After that, no one saw him again. Grand Master Gu devoted himself to cultivating Gu Lezhen. When she was five years old, Mrs. Gu also passed away. Within two years, Grand Master Gu also passed away. The seven-year-old Gu Lezhen was raised by Gu Wanxia, ​​the daughter of Grand Master Gu. Gu Wanxia never married. People, guarding Gu Lezhen, guarding the foundation of the Gu family, is a kind of doting to Gu Lezhen. This Gu Lezhen has been the treasure of the Gu family since he was a child, and his temper is very domineering. In the Gu family, he said that one by one Words, no one dares to say a single word."

Following Xiao Yue's eloquent talk, Su Shiwan finally had a preliminary understanding of Gu Lecheng.I couldn't help but be thankful in my heart, it seems that the fear I felt when I saw Gu Lezhen for the first time was not fake, I controlled my emotions, accompanied Gu Lezhen softly, and didn't anger the overlord, it was really my intuition that saved me .

It is said that Gu Lezhen's lifelong hobby is to linger in the flowers, seek out secrets, and have an extraordinary obsession with the beauty of flowers. He is as vicious as Shura in hell to the enemy, but when it comes to women, Especially the woman he fell in love with, she was an unscrupulous and sweet talker.

However, what he hates the most is the woman who is against him, no matter how much he likes him, he will humiliate him mercilessly.

When I was in Gu Lezhen, I met a girl in a teahouse, and she immediately said that she liked someone else, so she insisted on calling her own soldiers, tied the girl back to the Taishi Mansion, and locked her in the Taishi Mansion for three days without going out. Dad came to the door personally, and people in this world know that this girl is not someone else, but the daughter of the third-rank official Shangshu. You said that this girl is already yours, Gu Lecheng, and you want her, but it is because of this Shangshu The daughter resisted, and accidentally scratched her own hand. Gu Lezhen waved her hand, and Lord Shangshu came to the door to demand that he not give it. Shangshu Qianjin was sent back to Shangshu Mansion.

In the end, it was completely clean, and I had nothing to do with Shangshuqianjin at all. In the end, the Shangshu lord made a fuss with the emperor. Unexpectedly, this Gu Lezhen didn't even give the emperor face, and just disappeared. In the end, the emperor was helpless, He had no choice but to accept the Shangshu Qianjin himself, but the Shangshuqianjin entered the palace and never even saw the emperor's face.

This Gu Lezhen is simply an overlord, who doesn't give face to anyone in the officialdom, even the emperor doesn't pay much attention to him. For those who he is not used to, no matter the official rank, he will suffer as he should. Hit as you should, without mercy.
