Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 127

After the situation stabilized, many officials and their families quickly made a choice, either to cater to Qin Anhuai and Luo Yuanhua, or to cater to Yu Shaoheng and Ye Shuxuan.Xiao Xun's side is easy to say, anyway, the husband and wife are in contact with everyone, so many people went to Xiao's residence to make friends after the first two parties.

Mrs. Tai and Ye Xizhao have been very busy for a while, promising the family members of officials who come to visit the Hou Mansion every day.Because of this, let alone Ye Xizhao no longer has the heart to take care of Ye Xilang's marriage, even if he does, he has no leisure time.

Ye Xizhao spent every day with Sister Xin and Fang Fei, except for listening to the steward's mother's answers and meeting the family members of the officials.

Under Mr. Wei's teaching and nurturing, Fang Fei now has the demeanor of a lady in every move.What makes Ye Xizhao feel the most rare is that Fang Fei likes Sister Xin from the bottom of her heart, and all the needlework she does on weekdays is for Sister Xin, whether it is a small apron embroidered with patterns, or a small apron sewn by herself. Clothes, or a pair of small shoes and socks, every time you send something, you can see that your embroidery skills have improved.

Yu Shaoheng was busy with government affairs, and Fang Fei often took time out to accompany Ye Xizhao or Mrs. Tai to coax Sister Xin, so that after Sister Xin learned to call Second Uncle and Third Uncle, she could call her clearly aunt.

The same is true for the third wife, who set aside one or two hours every day to put down the work at hand, take the initiative to ask Ye Xizhao for something to do, or go to coax sister Xin to play with Fang Fei. The son learned to call her and the second wife's aunt again.

What kind of woman can always develop a good impression when facing someone who loves and teases her children.And Ye Xizhao even had a feud with the third wife, and now, he can slowly let go of it.

Especially people like Ye Xizhao.She thinks, who can not make mistakes?Now it is only because of many mistakes in my previous life that I restrain my words and deeds anytime and anywhere to avoid mistakes.And the third lady——Ye Xizhao admired her a lot from the bottom of her heart. After all, not many people can make corrections after seeing the situation clearly, try to restore everything, and start over.

What she wants to do between life and death, the third lady can do right now.No matter how sincere or false, it is already precious.

That's why, when Ye Xizhao heard the idea of ​​the third wife intending to send Ding Xiang out of the house and find a family once and for all, he helped the third wife find an unsurprising person and quietly married Ding Xiang out.

It was also after this incident that the disagreement between the third wife and the third master improved. When the husband and wife greeted the wife and had a meal, the occasional glances they met showed a tacit understanding between husband and wife.

Ye Xizhao also understands that even at this point, what should be guarded against is still to be guarded against. After all, it is still too early to completely trust the third lady. Who can say that the third lady will not be old-fashioned when encountering certain things?
In the final analysis, one must not have the heart to harm others, and one must not have the heart to guard against others.Those who have previous convictions should always be careful.

That night, when Ye Xizhao took a break from serving Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai sat beside the bed and said with a smile, "May I talk to you again?"

"Okay." Ye Xizhao replied with a smile, "I don't have any shortages, so if you have something to say, just say it."

Mrs. Tai leaned against the head of the bed and half sat up, then motioned Ye Xizhao to sit by the bed, and then said: "I have heard about the Second Master of Xiangfu these days, have you ever heard of it?"

Ye Xizhao was ashamed.Because she no longer has the heart to take care of this matter, and she is too lazy to listen to people talking to her, and the servant girl understands her temperament, don't say she doesn't have time to go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, but if she can go back and find out some right and wrong, Dare to tell her.Because of this, she said uneasily: "I'm just heartless, and it's not that mother doesn't know—I haven't heard about my second brother."

Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "Then let me tell you - in less than a month, the Xiangfu has canceled two marriages in succession, all on the grounds of incompatibility. As far as I know, one One marriage is arranged by your mother, and one marriage is arranged by the right minister."

Ye Xizhao felt his face burn badly—twice in a row!Don't talk about Mrs. Tai, even the family members of ordinary officials know what's going on as soon as they hear it - it's not because the right-hand couple disagreed about the marriage of the concubine that this happened.Hearing such things about her natal family at her in-law's house, and learning about it from her mother-in-law, she really felt restless and ashamed.

Mrs. Tai smiled even more, "Don't think too much, I just asked the servants to pay attention to some things about the Xiangfu just because our two families are related by marriage."

Ye Xizhao forced a smile and replied, "I know."

"I'm thinking," Mrs. Tai said, "If your in-laws are in trouble, you might as well leave this matter to me. No matter what, I can find a suitable family for your second brother. What do you think?"

Ye Xizhao looked at Mrs. Tai in surprise, but she really didn't expect that Mrs. Tai's purpose of saying this was to help the Right Prime Minister's House solve this problem.

Mrs. Tai was still smiling, "You went back to your mother's house twice, maybe it was because of this matter? Then you ignored your second brother's marriage, it is a bit unspeakable? If so, let me try it out ?Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so I might as well find a good marriage for your second brother, so that can be regarded as a merit."

Ye Xizhao said with a smile: "Mother has such thoughts, I would like to thank mother first." But her heart was pounding, after all, she didn't know how far her mother's family had gone because of this matter, and she was even more worried about Mrs. She is as hardworking as she is, but both sides are ungrateful.It's just that this kind of thing can't be explained clearly with Mrs. Tai, so I can only agree to it readily.

"It's good to have your words, and I feel more at ease." Mrs. Tai smiled, "Go back to the room and rest."

Ye Xizhao said he was leaving, and after returning to his room to rest, he tossed and turned for a long time, and finally convinced himself with a relatively negative reason: just treat it as a broken pot, anyway, it's not that Mrs. Tai is unaware of many things that her natal family can't get on the stage.After all, what could be more ridiculous than the eldest son not knowing the importance of idleness?Mrs. Tai could pretend she didn't know and didn't pursue it at that time, so what are these things now?
Because she slept too late, she slept very deeply. When Yu Shaoheng came back, she only said a few words to him sleepily, and fell asleep again.

What she and Mrs. Tai didn't expect was that the next day, when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the prime minister's mansion together, they heard the news that Ye Xilang's biological mother, Second Aunt, was seriously ill.

Because of this matter, Ye Xilang took a few days off work to take care of Second Aunt at home.He gave this biological mother too little joy, and he made this biological mother suffer from fear and worry too much. Most importantly, his aunt never gave him a little care and comfort, and now he can no longer take care of her. With my own identity, I just want to take care of my biological mother wholeheartedly for a period of time.

When Ye Xizhao went to visit the second aunt in her room, the imperial physician happened to be out. After asking, she learned that the second aunt was suffering from a sudden illness, and she might not have much time.

Her heart sank like this.

If Second Aunt passed away soon, then Ye Xilang would have to observe filial piety, and in his situation, I am afraid that he would have to observe filial piety for three years—no matter who agrees or not, he will definitely do this, because the one who has been teaching him is The second aunt, because others did not give him family affection from beginning to end.

The same goes for her, Ye Xizhao. When Ye Xilang was working alone, and when she married into the Hou's Mansion, the two brothers and sisters only passed letters once or twice.

Ye Xizhao closed his eyes, took another deep breath, suppressed the sadness on his face, then slowly opened his eyes, and walked into the second aunt's room.

In the hall, on this spring day, the winter furnishings have not been replaced.

Needless to say elsewhere.

Ye Xizhao closed his eyes again.I don't understand why the Xu family, who is now in charge of the family, treats the second aunt like this.

Walking slowly into the dormitory, he saw Ye Xilang had just served the second aunt to drink water, and put the porcelain cup in his hand on the stool beside the bed.

"Miss..." Second Aunt first saw Ye Xizhao and struggled to get up.

Ye Xizhao hurried forward, "Second Aunt, rest at ease, don't be polite."

Ye Xilang looked at Ye Xizhao, forced a smile, "You're here."

"I'll come and see Second Aunt." Ye Xizhao said while holding Second Aunt's raised hand.

In all honesty, when it comes to appearance, Second Aunt is the most outstanding among these concubines in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, therefore, the face of Ye Xilang she gave birth to is also a very pleasing man now.But in front of her eyes, Second Aunt's face was haggard and pale, and she was much thinner than before...

It turned out that he had been terminally ill for a long time, and he was only bedridden now.

Why bother to hold on like this?

Ye Xizhao looked at Ye Xilang, almost crying, out of anxiety and sympathy.

"Miss." The second aunt held Ye Xizhao's hand with all her strength, "Help me, help Xi Lang, you can find a good marriage for Xi Lang, can you? I beg you, let me Before being buried, would you like to see Xi Lang get married? Miss, I beg you." After she said these words, she was about to get up, intending to salute and ask.

Ye Xizhao quickly stopped, "Auntie, I will try my best, I will try my best."

The second aunt felt a little relieved, she looked at Ye Xilang with loving eyes, and there was too much guilt, "It's all my fault, why did you reincarnated into the person I gave birth to? It's me who got you hurt..."

"Auntie!" Ye Xilang was on the verge of tears, and stepped to the front of the bed, his knees softened, and he knelt down on the bed slowly, "Don't say these things, don't say these things."

"Okay." Second Aunt gave a pale smile, "But you have to promise me that before I die, you will marry a wife and start a family. Only in this way can I feel at ease."

Ye Xilang was silent for a long time before slowly nodding.Getting married...is it something he can decide.

The second aunt looked at Ye Xizhao again, "Miss, have you seen it? I know that among these brothers and sisters, you are the closest to Xi Lang. Help him find a good family for him." Girl, okay? I know it's not right for me to say such a thing, but Miss, can you be tolerant of me as a dying person? I, no matter what I do, I always treat Xi Lang in every possible way. Remember."

Ye Xizhao didn't dare to talk too much, he just said: "If I can't do it, Auntie don't blame me, okay?"

Only then did Second Yiniang relax, let out a long sigh of relief, and then forced a smile and said: "I understand, I understand everything. It's good that the eldest miss can take care of the second master in the future, and nothing else matters... Missy shouldn't set foot in such a place, go back quickly - just look at Missy and don't blame me for being rude, after all, these are all rules, Missy stays for a long time, but it will make people gossip."

Ye Xizhao didn't understand that what Second Aunt said was for his own good, but after hearing it, he felt even more sad.

She had heard from her servants that both the first aunt and the second aunt were concubines her father took because of his officialdom and future prospects, and they were both carried into the prime minister's mansion in sedan chairs.

Her mother was indeed wronged, but the first aunt and second aunt were also wronged.No way, this is the world.There are always families who sell their sons and daughters in disguise to seek a future, and there are so many men who are almost forced to take concubines.

Especially civil servants.

Civil servants are not as decisive as military officials, this is a fixed trend.

She knew that she should blame her father just like her mother, and she had been indifferent to the concubines all these years, but she could treat those concubines and concubines of her father like this, but she couldn't treat Ye Xilang like this.She and Ye Xilang, as well as Ye Xihan, have a strong brotherhood.Ye Xihan usually goes out of his way to get rare things to coax her into amazement and joy, but Ye Xilang's concern permeates every detail, he only hopes that his sister will be well anytime and anywhere happily.

Everyone expresses the person they care about in different ways, but in her opinion, after seeing through many landscapes now, she understands that the two elder brothers care about her in the same way, and they are not the same.

Amidst such complicated and entangled emotions, Ye Xizhao got up to say goodbye to Second Aunt, nodded slightly to Ye Xilang, and walked out slowly.

The matter was settled, but how could they find a good marriage for Ye Xilang in a short period of time?And as far as the family situation is concerned, how can one find a marriage that is also good for Ye Xihan?

She thought that things that she didn't want to pay attention to before should be taken to heart now. If she wanted to change her mother's mind, the right way was to talk to Mrs. Xu first.

That's it, she went to the main house where Mrs. Xu lives now.

Before entering the gate, I heard such a conversation:
A woman said: "No matter what, seeing what Second Master means, after Second Concubine dies, I am afraid that I will have to observe filial piety for three years. Naturally, the eldest sister will not need to worry about Second Master's marriage. After three years, who knows what kind of uncle is?" In such a situation, who could have predicted how desperate the second master would be?"

After Xu laughed softly, she said: "This is also uncertain. The second master is someone who is valued by both the eldest lady and the Hou Ye. Even after three years, who will know whether the two people are still as important as they are now?" I'm afraid the second master's marriage will still upset me and my mother-in-law."

When Ye Xizhao heard this, he had already arrived at the door, and there was only one thing in his mind: Why did things happen again and again, and why even her elder sister-in-law, whom she once trusted, looked like this now!She thought that she was really naive and lacked experience, and there were still too many things that only knew one thing but didn't know the other.

Guan Siniang is like this, and so is Xu.What they used to care about or now is only this momentary gain and loss.

It's just that the first disappointment can be accepted calmly, and the second disappointment will not be surprising.

Ye Xizhao first stopped the servants from saluting with hand gestures, his expression was very cold, he frightened the servants so much that he didn't dare to show his breath, then he walked lightly into the courtyard.

Only then did he see clearly that Mrs. Xu was tending the flowers and plants in the courtyard with a woman.

The person accompanying Xu's side is the second younger sister of Xu's boudoir.

The second sister of the Xu family was smiling at this time and said: "After three years of mourning, how old is the second master? He has not married at that age, so it is no wonder that others will not make more guesses. The daughter of a decent and good family, who will marry her?" ?”

Xu said with a smile: "It's true..."

Ye Xizhao interrupted coldly: "What did you say that made my sister-in-law agree so much?"

Xu looked back suddenly, her face full of astonishment,
Ye Xizhao showed an indifferent smile, and immediately turned and left.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly chased after her, and hurriedly said to Ye Xizhao: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just talking to you..."

"I didn't misunderstand." Ye Xizhao stopped walking, his eyes were serious, "I didn't do anything either, why are you panicking? Why are you guilty?"

"I……."

Ye Xizhao turned around without waiting for her answer, "Farewell!"

If you help your mother-in-law suppress a concubine's room, maybe it's justifiable, but if you don't even want to treat a seriously ill person kindly, what you're looking forward to is that the concubine of the right minister's mansion will go to a desperate situation, and even his mother's daily necessities are not enough. Refusing to take good care of...

Ye Xizhao might understand such a family, but he couldn't understand what some people did.

I ran into Mrs. Tai head-on.

Ye Xizhao bowed his knees and saluted, and said again: "Mother, shall we go back to the mansion?"

Mrs. Tai walked up to her and held her hand, "It's just right, I'm leaving too."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to Meng's room together and said their goodbyes in unison.

How could Mrs. Meng not know that her daughter went to the second aunt's room, and she said goodbye to her mother-in-law when she came back... Her eyes were full of disappointment, so she didn't ask to stay.

From this, Ye Xizhao also understood that her mother didn't take a single word of what she said in her heart.Moreover, mother must strongly advocate and oppose father's opinion, otherwise Ye Xilang would not have divorced twice.

Ugh--

Ye Xizhao sighed inwardly, and let out a long breath.Fortunately, I didn't say enough to my second aunt, otherwise, I would be in a difficult situation right now.

what can i doBe it angry or annoyed, she can only bear it by herself, as for the others, she no longer knows how to deal with it.

When he was at a loss what to do, he could only be ruthless and put it aside.

Two days later, Yu Shaoheng learned about it.Early this morning, when Ye Xizhao helped him change his clothes, he asked, "Are you still troubled by Xi Lang's marriage?"

Ye Xizhao didn't say a word, he acquiesced.

Yu Shaoheng raised her face and stared at her seriously, "Xi Lang's character, I value and recognize it, and so does my father-in-law. Now that the situation is like this, whether it is to help Second Aunt get her long-cherished wish and let go, or for Xi Lang For the sake of filial piety and future, we actually have the best of both worlds."

Ye Xizhao looked at him suspiciously, "Why can't I think of a solution for both ends?"

Yu Shaoheng smiled and said: "You are also a fan of the authorities, so naturally you don't think too thoroughly."
