Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 138

Seeing Yao's mother so excited, Ye Xizhao was a little surprised. Thinking about what he said just now, he felt that it was too optimistic, so he explained: "The so-called time passes, it can be long or short. To talk about this matter, It is to prevent Madam from thinking that I am inappropriate, and you should not let her misunderstand."

Mother Yao repeatedly said yes and left with a smile.

Zhilan got married on the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, and it was almost the end of the day. After Mrs. Tai heard about it, she rewarded her with 50 taels of silver.Ye Xizhao secretly gave Zhilan 200 taels of silver, and publicly rewarded him with 46 taels.After the second and third wives heard about it, they ordered their maidservants to bring 40 taels of silver, and the mothers in charge of the mansion naturally came to add boxes.

The person she married was Chang'an, who had followed Yu Shaoheng for many years, and all the three wives from Mrs. Tai to Mrs. Tai deliberately gave her a share of dignity. As a result, Zhilan became the envy of the maids.

In addition to dealing with the congratulations and jokes from the stewards and maids, Zhilan is still busy giving advice to Feng Lan.Feng Lan was selected by her, and she will take her place in the main room as an errand in the future.And after she got married, she had to stay at home for a period of time before returning to the mansion to work as an errand.

Because Zhilan was born alone and had no relatives, Ye Xizhao decided to let her recognize the steward Madam Zheng as her godmother, and she would marry from Madam Zheng's house on Jiri.

Ye Xizhao didn't know how to arrange the dowry for the eldest maid. If she bought it for Zhilan according to her temperament, it would break the precedent. Besides, if the things were too expensive, it would embarrass Zhilan after she got married. , this matter will be left to Zheng's mother to take care of it.After all, she wanted to see Zhilan's life as she wished, not to be in the limelight, and her future was the most important thing in the future.

On the eve of her wedding, Zhilan came to the main room to say goodbye.

Since getting married is a joyous occasion, and it will be very easy to meet in the future, the master and servant just chatted happily for a while.

But after Zhilan got married, Ye Xizhao felt a little empty in his heart, and began to worry about whether Zhilan would be wronged the next day.

Before Yu Shaoheng went to court early in the morning, she helped him change and said, "You have to manage Chang'an well, don't let him bully Zhilan."

Yu Shaoheng laughed, "Is this something I can manage?"

"Why can't you do it?" Ye Xizhao said earnestly, "The emperor still cares about whether you have misbehavior. Isn't it misbehavior if you don't treat your wife well? You should also discipline your subordinates well."

Yu Shaoheng smiled even more, "Are you going to be so nonsense?"

"Who messed up?" Ye Xizhao laughed as he spoke, "I'm just telling you that, I'm not used to Zhilan not being in front of me right now. If she is really wronged, I will help her to uphold justice gone."

"Don't worry." Yu Shaoheng covered her fair face with his hand, and rubbed the smooth skin with his fingertips, "You value the maids around you, and you don't want to wrong them. Who doesn't know? Who would dare to wrong someone you value?"

Hearing what he said, Ye Xizhao felt a lot more at ease.Then pinched the bridge of his nose and complained: "These days you always come back in the middle of the night. I know that when you come back, you should go out again. When can you be free?"

"It's the end of the year, and I'm really busy." Yu Shaoheng glanced at the still dark sky outside, then at his wife who insisted on helping him change, and apologized, "How about this, if it's too late, I'll rest in the The study room also saves you from having to get up in the middle of your sleep."

"..." Ye Xizhao frowned and stared at him, "You mean, I've lost the chance to see you this time all day?"

Yu Shaoheng stared at her, and a coquettish smile slowly escaped from his lips, "Why are these words so nice?"

"..." Ye Xizhao glared at him again, then lowered his head to help him straighten his clothes.

Yu Shaoheng took her into his arms, bowed his head and asked in a low voice, "Miss me?" His clear voice was filled with endless tenderness.

Ye Xizhao said angrily, "What do you want? You're going to sleep in a separate room with me."

Yu Shaoheng laughed lowly, "Officials have more than half a month's annual leave this year."

"Really?" Ye Xizhao smiled in surprise.Only then did he understand why he was so busy these days.

Yu Shaoheng kissed her face, "Really. I will accompany you well then."

"Ah."

Yu Shaoheng put her back on the bed, tucked the corner of the quilt, "You sleep a little longer."

Ye Xizhao smiled and said hello.

In the morning, Ye Xizhao accompanied Sister Xin to sit beside the small kang on the big kang for dinner.

For breakfast, Sister Xin likes to eat hot fish porridge and tofu skin buns. While eating, she still remembers her cat. After taking a few bites, she looks at the door and the ground, and then looks at Ye Xizhao, saying : "I want velvet, I want velvet, let's have dinner together."

Ye Xizhao was helpless, "You can either eat with me, or eat with Xuerong, you choose."

"..." Sister Xin stared at her mother dissatisfied for a moment.

"It's useless to stare at me. Eat." Ye Xizhao brought a spoonful of fish porridge to Sister Xin's lips.

Sister Xin opened her mouth to drink the porridge obediently, and then said vaguely: "I want Daddy!"

It means that her father is here, so she will definitely agree to have dinner with the cat, right?Ye Xizhao said irresolutely: "If you want Dad, if you want Xuerong, how many times do you tell me like chanting scriptures every day, when will you be so nice to me?"

"Hmm... Daddy will give me velvet, um... we can have dinner together."

Since the little thing was about to start talking about the wheel, Ye Xizhao simply pretended he didn't hear it.It's really strange in my heart, I don't know who my daughter is following.When she was a child, her parents never let her touch kittens and puppies, no matter how much she likes them, that love will fade after a long time.Needless to say, Yu Shaoheng said that Mrs. Tai said that he liked dangerous things like swords and swords when he was a child, and he didn't bother to raise small animals at all. When he was older, he started to like horses because he learned to ride and shoot.Sister Xin likes docile cats and dogs very much, and every time she sees Brother Hao's pug, she will yell that she wants it too.

After dinner, Ye Xizhao added a big cloak to Xin, and took her to Mrs. Tai's room to pay her respects.

Sister Xin can run around now, but she loves to be lazy. When she goes to Mrs. Tai's room, Ye Xizhao often has to hug her and bring her back. She refuses to share Ye Xizhao's worries with others.After a long time, Ye Xizhao has been trained, and he walked a long distance with Xin'er in his arms as if nothing had happened.

Ye Xizhao was the only one who greeted me.Because the second wife has a big belly, and the third wife is busy running between her in-laws' and her mother's house, the wife has already spared their morning and evening sleep.

Ye Xizhao said to Mrs. Tai: "I plan to go to the Guan mansion again today to see if Mrs. Guan is better."

Mrs. Tai nodded and smiled: "Just go, don't take Miss Xin with you." Then she asked Miss Xin, "Would you like to play with Xuerong with grandma?"

"Yes, yes!" Sister Xin replied repeatedly, and when she got to the kang, she looked at Ye Xizhao again, "I want to find my grandmother, and I want my grandmother to hug me."

Ye Xizhao sent Sister Xin to Madam Tai.

Mrs. Tai urged again: "When you see Si Niang, tell her that before the New Year's Day, let her stay in the mansion for half a day and return to her mother's house for half a day to help Mrs. Guan take care of the housework." There was a pause and a sigh, " He is also filial, so we should be more considerate."

Ye Xizhao nodded with a smile, "Mother said so."

"It's just that you have to work hard again." Mrs. Tai was a little helpless, "Why is there no one who can help you when it's such a busy time?"

Ye Xizhao smiled and said: "It's okay. This year is not like last year, I still feel very leisurely." This is the truth, and now the stewards are all doing their jobs in a down-to-earth manner, and she only needs to tell her what to do.After chatting with Mrs. Tai for a few more words, I left.

When I came out of the hospital, I met the second wife, Ye Xizhao hurriedly went up to meet her, and asked: "It's freezing cold, why are you here? Didn't the second wife spare you the morning and evening appointments? Is there something wrong? "

"It's okay, it's okay." The second lady smiled gratefully, "It's not good for me to be bored in the room all the time, please go back and forth just to relax."

"Then watch your steps carefully."

"Don't worry." The second lady raised her hand to support her waist, and turned to say, "In the past few days, I actually really have something on my mind."

Ye Xizhao asked seriously, "What's the matter?"

The second lady frowned, "My confinement date is said to be March next year, but what if I was born in less than a month? What if it happens to be another daughter who was born in February? What should I do? It is said to be born in February The girl is unlucky, she should be raised outside..."

Ye Xizhao couldn't hold it back, he laughed, took the second wife's hand, and accompanied her to the courtyard, "Thinking wildly. This is your second child. Didn't the imperial physician keep saying that the fetal appearance is good? Besides, you are worried The ones that matter are only considered by individual families.”

"That's not okay, I'll go talk to Mrs. Tai first, so I can feel at ease when I get an accurate answer." The second lady also knew that she was too nervous, so she smiled embarrassedly, "I really want a daughter too much, In my dreams, I want to have a girl as cute as Xin."

"Understood, you can go." Ye Xizhao sent the second wife to the door of the hall before leaving.

Ye Xizhao went to the Guan mansion only after meeting the steward.When entering the door, the third wife was serving Jiang to take medicine, when she saw Ye Xizhao, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Jiang's complexion has improved a lot, and he has to go down to the ground to salute.

Ye Xizhao hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "It's good to have a rest." After sitting down, he talked about Mrs. Tai's arrangements for Mrs. Third, and finally said, "You might as well stay in the Hou's mansion in the morning and make arrangements for the New Year's Eve in your room. Come early in the afternoon and go back in the evening." In this way, knowing that Yu Shaohuan will come every night, there will be no trouble when the third wife returns.

Mrs. Jiang and the third wife thanked her repeatedly, with genuine gratitude in their eyes.

Ye Xizhao asked Guan Shilang again.

The third lady said: "It's much better, I can already walk around as usual, and I can go to the morning court in two days."

In this way, the burden on the third lady's heart was reduced by half.Ye Xizhao felt relieved, sat for a while, and then returned to the Hou Mansion.

Feng Lan waited inside the Chuihua Gate, and when Ye Xizhao got off the carriage, she went up to meet her, and said: "Mother Yao from Xiangfu has come, please go back to your mother's house after returning home."

He didn't let her go back before, so as not to cause gossip, but today he came to invite her back... Ye Xizhao couldn't help but feel uneasy, "Did you ever say why?"
