Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 124

The presence of his daughter and son-in-law made Ye Shuxuan calm down. After thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to hide the twists and turns of Ye Xilang's marriage from Yu Shaoheng. Those who have a secret grudge with the Hou family have to find excuses to return the marriage, which is tantamount to asking for trouble.

He thought for a while, then remembered the reason for his dispute with Meng Shi, cleared his throat, and said to Meng Shi: "I used to discuss with Shao Heng a lot about the family affairs of the Prime Minister's mansion. Right now you and I are in front of the two children You tell me what you want, and I will tell you what I think. You and I are fans of the authorities, let them listen to what they should do."

After hearing this, Mrs. Meng suppressed her anger, got up and went to the inner room, "I have a headache, go and rest for a while." In order to avoid too embarrassing, she could only do so.

Yu Shaoheng smoothed things over, "I have something to say to you, can you move to the study?"

Ye Shuxuan frowned, "Alright, let's go." When he was leaving the door, he said to Ye Xizhao, "You persuade your mother."

"I'll do my best." Ye Xizhao had given up hope for this.

Turning to the inner room, Ye Xizhao asked after taking his seat, "Mother, what's going on? Why did you quarrel with Dad?"

Mrs. Meng waited for a long time before euphemistically explaining the cause of the dispute, and then said: "After you came last time, I thought what you said made sense, so I went to ask him which family he liked, but he opened his mouth and kept silent. They are the prostitutes of those famous families. You don’t need to think about marrying the jewel in the palm of your family. You don’t need to think about it, you know that it’s the same as your wedding. But the problem is our side? Your elder brother’s precedent is there—your sister-in-law is The daughter of my best friend has an average family background. You don’t know that when I prepared the dowry for your eldest brother, I also prepared it according to your sister-in-law’s family background. The marriage of a concubine is more pompous than that of a concubine. Let others see what it means What? I mean, you can choose a concubine from a famous family, but you can choose a concubine from which family? In this way, concubines and concubines are also suitable for marriage, and the dowry over there will be lowered, and you don’t need to be more than your eldest brother when you get married. Marriage scene."

"..." Ye Xizhao just looked at Mrs. Meng and didn't speak.

"As soon as I said this, your father said something and thought so much before even writing it off. The point is that I don't want to do so much? Your sister-in-law will think about this when she hears it... how much worse is she than anyone else?" No?"

Ye Xizhao still didn't speak.

Meng took a deep look at Ye Xizhao, "What do you mean by not speaking? I think it's me who is wrong again?"

Ye Xizhao stood up and sighed, "Mother, I'm going back home. You don't need to tell me about these things in the future."

Meng Shi said angrily: "What's the matter with you? Just say what you have to say!"

"You can figure it out. Originally, I was trying to find a good wife for my second brother. Now that you are fussing about me, I feel that if someone with good character enters the prime minister's house, he is asking for trouble." Ye Xizhao said helplessly. Shaking his head, "I can't stop you from worrying about these little things that make people laugh all day long. If you really don't want to, don't ask for a marriage for your second brother. Rather than being unhappy, it's better to let him be alone, and he can live a happy life." A few days of quiet life." Then he turned around, "I still have a lot of things to do, so I'm leaving first."

Meng Shi became even angrier when she heard this, and stood up to stop Ye Xizhao, "Small things that make people laugh? You tell me, why do you make people laugh?"

Ye Xizhao looked puzzled, and said, "Who doesn't know how ostentatious it was when I got married? Who doesn't know how shabby Xijin got married? Everyone in the prime minister's mansion knows the reason, but others will definitely marry her in private." Say something unpleasant——at that time, why didn’t you consider what others would think? To put it bluntly, you still cared about the concubines, thinking that concubine sons and concubine daughters should fall into any shabby situation, and concubine sons and concubine daughters are not good enough. Mother , you don’t mind about the dowry, what you care about is actually that Dad wants to find a daughter from a famous family for the second brother.”

Meng Shi gritted her teeth, and simply admitted her thoughts, "You are right, I think enough is enough."

"Then why don't you just explain this clearly to your father? Why use the dowry and pomp as an excuse? Even if the pomp is bigger than when my elder brother got married, others can only praise you for your magnanimity and virtuousness." Ye Xizhao originally thought that there were some things that he didn't need to say too clearly, but now he had to say, "Mother, Jiahe Wanshixing, this is the reason why I interfered in this matter. Now you can let the second brother suffer a little, openly and secretly. What about when you and your father are older? What if my second brother is the one who will be in high position? Do you want to wait until he sees that the eldest brother has difficulties and ignore him? Because of what? Because of me Eldest brother was born to your aunt, who has troubled him for half his life. Can't you try your best to make the two brothers peaceful?"

The repeated questions left Meng Shi momentarily at a loss, unable to answer.

Ye Xizhao said again: "You are helping my sister-in-law to care about these things before they are married. If in the future after my second brother gets married, you still care about it openly and secretly, then the relationship between brothers and sisters-in-law will be lively." , you must not shoot yourself in the foot. In the end, my elder brother still has to work together with my second brother, so that the prosperity of the Prime Minister's Mansion can continue. You can no longer think that your elder brother will definitely It will be better than the second brother, don't forget, the two of them are going hand in hand now, and when my elder brother was ignorant, my second brother had already practiced at the border."

Meng's face turned slightly pale, and she slowly turned and sat down.

"I also understand that you are afraid that if the second elder brother marries someone from a high family, he will support the second elder brother. But don't forget, no matter how others support you, it is not as good as the support of the Xiangfu and the Houfu. The Hou Ye is now The eldest brother and the second brother appreciate it equally, and the emperor never regards who's background or age when employing people. There are many officials who are exceptionally promoted. Mother, my second brother's official career cannot be blocked by a mere marriage. I say That's all." After Ye Xizhao said these words, he walked out slowly and returned to the Hou Mansion.

Ye Xizhao went directly to Mrs. Tai's room, entered the courtyard gate, and saw Yu Shaohuan coaxing sister Xin to play.

He hugged Sister Xin and stood under a flower tree, looking up at the early-blooming fragrant flowers.

When the maids all bowed to Ye Xizhao, one big and one small all turned their heads with smiles all over their faces.

Sister Xin laughed when she saw Ye Xizhao, and called out without waiting for anyone to remind her, "Mother!"

The troubles that are full of troubles dissipate in an instant because of the sweet call of this life.Ye Xizhao walked towards the two uncles and nephews with a smile, and asked, "Is Miss Xin good? Will she be called third uncle?"

Sister Xin struggled to get off the ground, as if she felt that she could walk over faster than her mother.

Yu Shaohuan followed with a smile and called Ye Xizhao sister-in-law.

The more anxious Sister Xin became, the more unsteady her steps became, and she almost fell after walking a few steps.Fortunately, Yu Shaohuan was as quick-sighted as Yu Shaoheng, and could always hold her firmly in time.

Ye Xizhao smiled and walked in front of sister Xin, and knelt down.

Sister Xin giggled and threw herself into her mother's arms, calling again and again: "Mother, mother..."

Ye Xizhao raised his hand to rub Sister Xin's hair, and hugged her.

While looking at Sister Xin, Yu Shaohuan said to Ye Xizhao, "I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I came here to coax Sister Xin with Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Tai has a guest, and seeing Sister Xin playing happily with me , I went to the flower hall by myself."

Ye Xizhao nodded with a smile, and then asked Sister Xin: "I taught you to call you Second Uncle and Third Uncle for several days, have you learned?"

Yu Shaohuan began to laugh, the lines of his smile spread out, and he had a little bit of the innocence of that older child, "I can call my uncle now."

"Really?" Ye Xizhao was very happy to hear that, and said to Sister Xin, "Call uncle, call mother."

Sister Xin smiled mischievously, but refused to speak.

"Sister Xin is the most obedient, call uncle." Ye Xizhao coaxed again and again.

Sister Xin looked at Yu Shaohuan, blinked her big eyes, and called "Uncle". Because of the sound of the word, her small mouth pursed, which was really pleasing.

Ye Xizhao and Yu Shaohuan laughed at the same time.Ye Xizhao even rubbed Sister Xin's little face, "Let you be lazy now, and learn to distinguish the second and third uncles slowly in the future."

Yu Shaohuan was already very content, "It's not easy to be so smart." After that, he said, "Sister Xin is handed over to my sister-in-law, and I will go back to my room."

Ye Xizhao nodded, "Okay." Then he asked Yuanyang who came to see Mrs. Tai, Yuanyang said that she came to visit on her own initiative, and if she was an acquaintance, Mrs. Tai would ask someone to come to the room to talk, and then told Ye Xizhao to just go back. house.

Only now did Ye Xizhao leave Mrs. Tai's courtyard.Glancing at Yu Shaohuan who was walking in front, I saw that he no longer had the joy of talent just now, and was a little lonely.

Think about Ye Xilang, and then think about Yu Shaohuan, these two people who may or have been implicated by the family and cannot have a good marriage.

"Third Master!" Ye Xizhao raised his voice slightly, calling for Yu Shaohuan.

Yu Shaohuan stopped in his tracks, looked back and asked, "Is there something else, sister-in-law?"

"I have a few words to tell you." Ye Xizhao handed Sister Xin to the nurse to coax her, and then came to Yu Shaohuan, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.

Yu Shaohuan said with a smile: "If you have any orders, sister-in-law, just say it."

Ye Xizhao smiled, walked forward and said: "I feel very sorry for you, I couldn't find you a better marriage back then."

But Yu Shaohuan said: "The Guan family was the most suitable family in the situation back then."

Ye Xizhao sighed, "That's the way it is, but... I'm still full of uneasiness after all."

Yu Shaohuan smiled and said, "My sister-in-law said that, but I feel ashamed. The people in my room always trouble you, I am incompetent."

Ye Xizhao pursed his lips and smiled, and asked hesitantly: "Is life going well now? Mrs. Tai and I miss you very much."

"It's better, don't worry."

Ye Xizhao pondered for a moment, then said cryptically: "If there's anything you don't like, just tell us, Mrs. Tai, Lord Hou, and I all hope from the bottom of our hearts that you live comfortably."

Because of her solemn expression, Yu Shaohuan hesitated for a moment before answering: "I will."

The two chatted for a few more words before going back to their rooms.

Yu Shaoheng didn't know that Ye Xizhao had left and left, and was still staying in the Xiangfu's study, listening to Ye Shuxuan's tactful talk about Ye Xilang's marriage.
