The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 20

When Fang Xiuyi found out about these things, the Chinese New Year was just a few days away. She was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner and preparing things for the children for the New Year. As the children grew taller, they had to make new clothes, and she had to do it all by herself. busy.

The reason why she knew these things was because she went to Minglou again in time to recommend another dish to Boss Qian, and it took her a long time to finish listening to the story.It's just that what she heard was the same as last time, no matter how stupid she was, she also understood that Boss Qian's painstaking efforts were all specially arranged by him. bona fide.

Fang Xiu could tell that in this story, her lord basically didn't appear in the scene, but she thought of her excitement last time, so she doubted whether lord Shang Shu was really as innocent as in the story.However, with such a big matter, so much involvement, and so many deaths, did Lord Shang Shu really not participate in it?It is precisely because it looks too innocent, but it seems a bit fake.

After she returned to Shangshu Mansion, there was even more shocking news waiting for her.Lord Shangshu said that he had received favors from others many years ago, but he didn't know where he was going after he was convicted. Some time ago, he finally learned that his benefactor had passed away and his children had also died unexpectedly. In order to repay his kindness, Lord Shangshu asked, To marry the tablet of the benefactor's daughter into the mansion to comfort the benefactor's spirit in heaven.Fang Xiuyi felt that such a ridiculous thing, the emperor actually allowed it, and greatly praised He Huai'an for his loyalty and righteousness, and never forgetting his kindness.What's even more outrageous is that the emperor said that He Shangshu's move was really righteous, and he could be regarded as a model for all officials and scholars. It was an auspicious day on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and it was auspicious day for marriage. We got married on this day, and it happened that everyone celebrated the New Year together.

Fang Xiuyi didn't know the specific situation, but she remembered that, some time ago, the lord had to give his dead mother and wife vegetarian food for three years, why did he marry a woman in the blink of an eye?She intuitively felt that this matter was not simple, but she hoped that it would not affect herself and her children.It's just that she feels sorry for Master Shangshu. For such an excellent man, it is already very bad to have a dead wife, and now he wants to marry a memorial tablet.It's really an evil class society. As long as you are not the only person who is high above you, you will be restrained by others. It just depends on how many people are restrained. For example, her own life is restrained by her two children, and no one else What can be decided.

For a while, the air pressure in Shangshu Mansion was very low, and Fang Xiuyi seemed to be able to feel the dark clouds over the mansion.However, isn't this matter an adult's initiative?How could it be so embarrassing, could it be involuntary?She wanted to see if she could spare some time later to meet the two children first, and ask them to pay attention to their attitude when they were with the adults. It would be better if they could make the adults happy.Unexpectedly, Sandong told her that the adults had already gone to the east gate to wait for them, and she didn't need to go there.

"Sandong, I also want the children not to disturb the adults." Fang Xiuyi knew that the two children worshiped He Huai'an very much, just like an angel who came to the world to save them.

"Don't worry about this. Siyuan and Feiyu are very good-natured. Maybe the adults went to wait for them just to be in a good mood. You don't know, they often make adults laugh happily in the study. Don't mention recruiting more people. I like it." Sandong and Banxia like Siyuan and Feiyu very much, when these two children meet him, they are always "Uncle Sandong" long and "Uncle Sandong" short.

"That's good. However, Sandong, you should also help me watch out. If there is something disobedient to them, you must tell me."

"You can rest assured."

Fang Xiuyi felt that he might be worrying too much. The adults ate more for dinner. Could it be that this is a good thing, or is there some kind of deal involved?She even began to fantasize about such a picture:
"Aiqing, after you marry her, I will give you a promotion in the next year. Isn't the chief minister of the cabinet still suspended?"

"Thank you Lord Long En! In fact, I can marry Miss Gao, even if it is her tablet, I am willing."

Fang Xiuyi got goosebumps all over her body because of her bad taste. She didn't know what kind of existence this dead Miss Gao was. After she was dead, she could still ask Lord Shangshu to propose marriage and the emperor to set a date. To be completed years ago.However, Lord Shang Shu already has a wife, and although she is no longer alive, this Miss Gao is a latecomer after all, so is there a need for a first-come first-served wife?Is Miss Gao a continuation?
Fang Xiuyi was thinking wildly here, all kinds of obscenities, to pass the time, and she could also hear the adults play a song in the cold night, which she thought was good, but the song sounded a little cold.

After waiting for the adults to go to court in the morning, Sandong came to tell her some amazing news.

"Ms. Fang, you also know that my lord is going to get married on the 29th, and it's rather hasty. There is a special order from the emperor, so I will hold a banquet in Shangshu's mansion, and the second rank and above in Beijing will be attended by their wives. There are not many people, and my lord said it will be in These two yards are run, this yard greets the female relatives, and the male guests are in the adults' yard. Because the guests are special, the adults said that you don't have to do it from noon today, rest, and prepare New Year's things for Siyuan and Feiyu, and wait for New Year's Eve On that day, you will continue to cook for the grown-ups."

"Ah? Why is this? It's too cold, right? Just outside?"

"This is the Holy Majesty's will, who dares to object? Even if there is a knife in the sky, it will come. I started to build the shed this afternoon. Fortunately, it is big enough here, otherwise I really don't know how to entertain it."

That's right, boss, who dares not obey?
"How does your lord eat these days?"

"Because it's special, my lord hired a team from Minglou. They came here at noon today, and I started to get acquainted with the place and arrange things. They will be responsible for your lord's food and drink these days. Don't worry. You let Siyuan Don't come here with Fei Yu, there are too many people, so as not to cause accidents."

"Well, I see. I'm tidying up the kitchen now, and they'll be ready to use when they come at noon."

"Actually, they won't use this kitchen at that time. They just come here to get acquainted. At that time, they will build a shed outside the yard and cook outside. They will cook here for the adults in the past two days. This yard is inconvenient for entertaining female relatives."

"Those family members of officials are very particular, so it won't be rude to do so?" This is too simple and rude, as if the emperor is angry, and He Huai'an is unwilling to give in.

"No one dares to say anything, and everyone knows that there is no mistress in the Shangshu Mansion."

"Oh, that's right. I'll start packing now."

"Also, you should tidy up your things when you go back, and the three of you will move here on New Year's Eve."

Fang Xiu was stunned, what the hell?

"Sandong, what's going on? How can we live here?"

"This is what the adults ordered. How convenient it is for you to live here! Ban Xia and I moved to live next door to the adults."

"Isn't this against the rules? Let others know, what do you want to say?"

"In this mansion, what the adults say is the rules, who dares to make irresponsible remarks? You can live in peace. Okay, I'm leaving, and I still have to arrange, I'm busy!"

Fang Xiuyi still wanted to drag Sandong to talk, but Sandong left in a hurry.Although the kitchen yard is not very big in comparison, it is definitely the best place for her. The environment is good and the distance is close, but after all, it is so close to the adults. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

In the evening, Fang Xiuyi told the children that the adults were getting married.

"Is your lord getting married?" Fei Yu asked.

"Well, the day after tomorrow, 29."

"So fast! I didn't even hear what the adults said."

"This is an adult's business, why would the adults talk about it to you?"

"Then, will your lord still teach us in the future?" Siyuan was worried about this problem.

"It should be possible. My lord married a tablet this time and came back."

"Tablet?!" The two children exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, but don't be too obvious when you see adults again."

"Why do you want to marry a tablet? There are so many good women in the world!" Fei Yu pouted, wondering why Huai'an was worthless.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Little child, say these words?" Fang Xiuyi slapped Fei Yu lightly.

"Understood, mother, I'll talk about it in front of you and brother."

"Mother, is there any other reason for my lord to marry the tablet?"

"It's our Siyuan's thoughtful thinking! Be good! There is a reason for this, but it is beyond our ability to ask. I just heard that this woman was the daughter of a benefactor of the lord, and he wanted to repay the favor."

"Oh, your lord really values ​​love and righteousness!" Fei Yu nodded in praise.

"By the way, I want to tell you one more thing. On New Year's Eve, my lord will let us move to live in the yard next to the kitchen."

"The kitchen? Do you want to live next door to the adults?" Fei Yu's eyes started to shine again.

"um, yes."

"That's great! From now on, we will be able to see our mother often, and she can still accompany us at night. Unlike before, we couldn't see our mother all day." Fei Yu was overjoyed.

"Really? Mom?" Siyuan was also very excited. They missed their mother so much every day. Only occasionally when the adults allowed their mother to go home early, they could see each other before going to bed.

"Yes, it's more real than pearls!" Fang Xiuyi was still hesitant at first, but seeing the children's joy, she didn't think so much anymore. Ever since she came to Shangshu Mansion and talked with the children, the two I can count on my hands.

"Then, will there be any trouble?" Si Yuan thought more.

"At present, we don't know yet. However, we can only take one step at a time."

"Mother!" Fei Yu was already happily hugging Fang Xiuyi's neck, hugging her tightly.Fang Xiuyi also stretched out her arms to hug Siyuan.
