The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 100
Not long after winter entered, there was a light snow in the sky.

Fei Yu went to school, He Huai'an went to morning court, and Si Yuan was also reading and writing in the teacher's yard.Fang Xiuyi stood on the porch at the door, watching the early winter snow, Niu Niu lying under her feet, one person and one dog, all very quiet.

The snow at this time is sporadic and cannot yet dye the world white, but the sound is not small, "swirling".When Fang Xiu thought about it, it has been almost two years since he came to the capital, life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the train of fate has also changed its track, which is beyond his imagination.

The silent world was soon broken.A famous post was sent in at the front door, saying that someone came to visit Fang Xiuyi.

"Visit me? Can't be mistaken? This kind of weather!" Fang Xiuyi couldn't believe it.

"Ma'am, this is a famous post." Xiao Tao presented the famous post.

Fang Xiu half-believingly opened the name post. She really was visiting her, but she didn't know this person, his name was Lian Zixin.

"Mother Shi, do you know this person named Lian Zixin? Who is it?"

"Madam, this Madam Cheng, I know a thing or two."

"Mrs. Cheng? Her husband's surname is Cheng?" She didn't know Mrs. Cheng either.

"Ma'am, this Mrs. Cheng is the Mrs. Cheng I met in the eldest princess last time." Mother Shi reminded.

Oh, it turned out to be the lady!As soon as Fang Xiu thought about it, she thought that Mrs. Cheng was very interesting. It seemed that she had said that she would pay a visit the other day, but it took so long.

"By the way, Madam Shi, Mrs. Gu said some strange things that day. I wanted to go back and ask you if you knew Mrs. Cheng, but I didn't expect to be delayed by what happened later." Fang Xiuyi suddenly remembered that at that time Gu Madam seemed to have some complaints about this Madam Cheng, for some reason, "Xiao Tao, Shan Xing, hurry up and get people in. It's snowing today, so stop the sedan chair in the vertical flower gate, and tell the sedan chair to slow down so that it doesn't slip. "

"Yes, ma'am."

Seeing Xiao Taoshan Xing go out, Fang Xiu said to Mama Shi: "Mama Shi, while this is the time, please tell me about Mrs. Cheng."

Mother Shi hesitated, "Ma'am, I don't know very well. I only know that Miss Lian married Master Cheng when she was 22 years old."

Even Mama Shi doesn't know?Is she going to ask Mrs. Gu, or Mrs. Cheng herself? Marrying at the age of 22, is there something hidden?
"Then Mrs. Cheng's family?"

"Mrs. Cheng's father used to be Master Lian, a university scholar. He has a good reputation, and even his wife comes from a famous family. Mrs. Cheng also has two older brothers. I heard that they are very popular in their natal family, and they are also talented girls."

Fang Xiu nodded again and again, yes, she is indeed an extraordinary woman, back then she was not afraid of the imperial power to speak for her, and today she even chose a snowy day to visit someone's house, which is beyond what ordinary people can do.

After a while, a group of women walked in from the corridor on the right, and the one walking in front was Mrs. Cheng.Dressed in a white floral dress with a blue background, a beige double-breasted gown, and a dark green hooded cloak, she came gracefully, and Xiaoxue slanted into the painting. It was really a beautiful picture in the snow.

When Fang Xiuyi first saw a beautiful woman, she would subconsciously feel inferior.Others are beautiful, but she is ashamed; others are graceful, but she is struggling.But after these years, especially since she came to Beijing, she gradually got used to it. In addition, she was also used to the temperament of He Huai'an and Siyuan Feiyu. Can appreciate each other's beauty.

"Mrs. He, excuse me!" Although Mrs. Cheng apologized, there was no apology in her tone.

"Where, it's snowing, and I'm feeling bored. It just so happens that a distinguished guest has come. Come in." No matter what, people who can come to visit in such weather are rare people.

Fang Xiuyi's room is divided into three parts, the larger one is the bedroom, the middle one is the living room, the east one is a warm pavilion for entertaining female guests, and there is a small kang.Mrs. Cheng was greeted to the warm pavilion on the east side.

"Madam Cheng, please don't go out, it's cold, let's sit on the kang, it's very warm." There is a small kang table on the kang, and the maids have already set up some snacks.

Mrs. Cheng really didn't see her outside, she answered and sat on the kang.

"I didn't expect the snow to come so early this year!" Mrs. Cheng also started with the weather.

"It came quite early. But in winter, there should be snow."

After taking a sip of tea, Mrs. Cheng continued, "Mrs. He must be surprised why I came to visit today."

"It's a little bit. I would like to ask Mrs. Cheng to clarify the confusion." Fang Xiuyi was also straightforward.

"Speaking of which, this is only the second time we have met. The last time I was in the Princess's mansion, Madam He's demeanor really impressed me, and I admired it quite a lot. It's just that I was entangled in secular affairs and couldn't be free. Today, God made a Mei, I thought Mrs. He would not go out, so I paid a visit."

"Hehe, the day Mrs. Cheng chose is special, but it's also impressive."

Madam Cheng smiled slightly, "Madam He doesn't seem to like going out?"

"Yeah, I made Mrs. Cheng laugh. I am also the wife who has just been promoted to the second rank of the imperial court. I am not used to everything, and I am not familiar with it. Every time I go out, I make people laugh. Therefore, I think I should stay in the mansion." It's better, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles to my family." Fang Xiuyi didn't know why Mrs. Cheng came here, but she didn't feel any malice so far.

"Mrs. He is too modest. To tell you the truth, after hearing that Mrs. He suddenly had a wife, the people in the capital felt wronged for Mrs. He, but in my opinion, Mrs. He is the best Mrs. He in the world. Beloved."

Fang Xiuyi was very surprised, this was the first time someone said that, although she did not necessarily rely on He Huai'an to survive alone, everyone including herself believed that she was not worthy of He Huai'an.Now that she heard a beautiful woman comment like this, she really thought it was an auditory hallucination.

"Hehe, I don't know why Mrs. Cheng made such a statement?" Fang Xiuyi really wanted to hear Mrs. Cheng's high opinion, it was so powerful.

Madam Cheng put down her teacup, looked at Fang Xiuyi, and said slowly: "I heard that Madam He escaped from her hometown in Fuzhou all the way here, not only keeping her sons and daughters safe, but also allowing them to read and write. This is beyond the reach of ordinary people. What's more, she is a woman. What's more, there is no one in the dynasty who can be appreciated by the emperor and Lord Wen. Others only see how Mrs. He offended the powerful, but in my opinion, Mrs. He relied on her own wisdom to save It has won the reputation of He Mansion. Therefore, I sincerely express my admiration."

Fang Xiu took a serious look at Mrs. Cheng, but she didn't see any intentions against her will, nor did she make any sarcasm.

"After listening to Mrs. Cheng's words, if I hadn't talked face-to-face, I would have thought Mrs. Cheng was talking about someone else." Fang Xiuyi refilled a cup of tea for Mrs. Cheng, "However, I will treat it as a joke between friends."

Mrs. Cheng was not annoyed, "Mrs. He, I have no malicious intentions."

"Whether there is any malice or not, it is my honor that Mrs. Cheng can visit the humble house. However, Mrs. Cheng and I are not old acquaintances, and I am also grateful for the words and help in the Princess's Mansion last time. I wonder what Mrs. Cheng is doing today? "

Although no malice can be seen, Mrs. Cheng probably didn't come to praise her.

Mrs. Cheng didn't speak, she drank her tea silently, her beautiful face seemed to be in deep thought.

Fang Xiuyi also felt very strange that a person who had only met once came to visit the house in the snow, and she was silent. If it wasn't for him and the wife of a high official, she would have suspected that he came to her house to keep warm, but she couldn't make people feel warm. drive away.

So, the two of them drank tea across a kang table, silent, and the atmosphere was surprisingly weird.

After a while, Mrs. Cheng finally said: "Sorry, Mrs. He, I was so abrupt today, it's getting late, I should go."

As soon as she said go, Mrs. Cheng's movements were very quick, and she got dressed in two or three strokes.
Fang Xiuyi was really seeing such a guest for the first time. She talked a lot of nonsense and was about to leave without thanking or inviting him.Standing on the ground, she was a little at a loss, and stared blankly at Mrs. Cheng getting dressed and walking out the door without looking back.

"Ma'am?" Xiaotao called Fang Xiuyi.

"Ah? Ah! Hurry up, Mother Shi, hurry up and prepare the sedan chair to send Madam Cheng out of the house, hurry up!" Fang Xiuyi suddenly came to her senses, no matter what Madam Cheng said or didn't say, she would send him away is.

"Ma'am, don't worry, Mama Shi has already made arrangements." Xiaotao said.

Only then did Fang Xiuyi feel relieved and walked out of the room.I don't know when, the snow has stopped, and the snow that fell in the morning has already melted.

"This snow is so strange!" Fang Xiuyi was a little dazed.

It wasn't until after dinner that Fang Xiuyi had time to talk to He Huai'an about the strange things that happened in the morning.

"My lord, do you think it's strange that she just left like this!" Fang Xiu was puzzled.

Who knows, He Huai'an didn't speak,

"Don't your lord know this Mrs. Cheng?"

He Huaian finally nodded, "I know."

"Speaking of which, last time in the Princess's mansion, no one else dared to tell the truth, but she dared to stand up, and I didn't bother to express my gratitude to her."

"Ah."

"However, this Mrs. Cheng doesn't look like a bad person, so she just praised me."

"Well, she's right. You did a good job. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it well."

"Hehe, there are no outsiders here, so I'll be shameless." Fang Xiu said jokingly, "By the way, my lord, the last time I heard Mrs. Gu's words, I seemed surprised that I talked to Mrs. Cheng. Does your lord know why?"

He Huai'an didn't speak again.

"Could it be that Your Excellency wants me to ask Mrs. Gu?" Fang Xiuyi was really curious.

"No need." This time He Huai'an replied quickly.

"why?"

He Huai'an put his hands on his forehead rarely, as if he was in a dilemma.

"What's the matter, my lord? You know? Then tell me. Otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight."

He Huai'an looked at Fang Xiuyi, and said a few words to her very solemnly and sincerely.

It's all over now, Fang Xiuyi couldn't sleep anymore.
