Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 20

"Let's go to Mrs. Tai's room first? If something like this happens, Mrs. Tai will be hurt."

"Let's talk when we come back." Yu Shaoheng just understood that Mrs. Tai would not be hurt by self-inflicted things.

The servant girl echoed: "The servant girl is here to pass on the message. Mrs. Tai asked Lord Hou and Mrs. to ignore this matter, and go to the prime minister's mansion as soon as possible."

Ye Xizhao nodded accordingly: "Okay."

The servant girl said again: "Mrs. Tai originally wanted to go with her, but now that something like this happened, she had to give up and ask her to explain a thing or two, and make up for it."

Mrs. Tai wanted to use this reason to go to the prime minister's mansion. She wanted to apologize in person for Yu Shaoheng's hurting Ye Xihan, which eased the relationship between the two families.Ye Xizhao smiled knowingly, "I have written it all down, Madam Tai, please rest assured."

The maid said she was stepping down.

Immediately, Yu Shaoqian and his second wife sent their maids to inquire, and both husband and wife, both public and private, also went with them.As for the matter of the third lady, after all, it was her own fault. How to deal with it was the matter of the third master, and others tacitly ignored it.

The four of them took sedan chairs and left the Hou Mansion one after another.

On this day, there are a lot of guests in Xiangfu.Naturally, many officials and their families came to congratulate. The men gathered in the living room of the outer courtyard to talk loudly, while the women naturally gathered in the flower hall of the inner house to gossip.

Ye Xizhao and the second wife went to the flower hall, met Meng Shi with a smile, and under Meng Shi's guidance, exchanged greetings with many female guests one by one.

Ye Xizhao was wearing Tianshuibi's waist and wide-sleeved gown, while the second wife was wearing lake blue. The clothes were made of orchids and jasmine incense. They were all of extremely elegant colors and tranquil fragrances, and they were all deliberately made. Willing to stand out in dress.It's just that one has a stunning face, and the other is dignified and graceful. Being in the crowd, she suddenly compares a group of young women in red and green with the ladies, and becomes the focus of everyone's attention.

Someone mentioned Mrs. Tai, and said with a smile: "No one can compare to the blessing of the Taijun of the Houfu. With such a daughter-in-law who is one in ten thousand, I am afraid I will wake up from my dream."

Someone replied: "That's right, the eldest daughter-in-law is a first-class beauty in the capital, the second daughter-in-law is a first-class talented woman, and the third daughter-in-law is also smart, which is really enviable."

The second wife said anxiously: "There is no such thing as a talented woman, it is just people's false praise. In terms of talent, I can't compare with my sister-in-law."

Ye Xizhao laughed and said, "You're making fun of me again. I don't have any talent."

After that, the second lady saw her friend in her boudoir and turned to talk.Ye Xizhao took a seat beside Meng Shi.

Meng scrutinized Ye Xizhao's face, saw the concealed haggardness, found an excuse, and the mother and daughter went to the main room one after another.

Avoiding the eyes of everyone, Ye Xizhao's small face collapsed, and he sat on the round chair with his brows frowned, with his hands on his abdomen, his body slightly bent.

Mrs. Meng understood what was going on, so she called her servant girl to bring a bowl of brown sugar water, and sighed, "It's the same after marriage? Or is it still hurting so much?"

"Yeah." Ye Xizhao smiled wryly, "At this point, I just want to sleep all day long, and it's hard to wake up."

"This is impossible." Meng said, "This kind of thing can be big or small, so we can't hold on like this. It's not like people who haven't diagnosed and treated this kind of disease, they should have taken care of it long ago."

Ye Xizhao said perfunctorily, "Remember."

Hearing the insincere words, Meng felt distressed and angry at the same time, and raised her hand to poke Ye Xizhao's forehead, "What can I say about you? When you were not out of the cabinet, you were unwilling to ask someone to take your pulse, but now You are married, why are you still a muscle? Can't you treat illness as a pastime?"

Ye Xizhao dodged it with a smile, "I really remember it, don't worry."

Meng sternly threatened: "If you don't seek medical treatment, don't blame me for bringing the doctor to the door next time!"

Ye Xizhao nodded again and again, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you." Then he changed the subject and explained in detail the reason why Mrs. Tai didn't come and what happened to Mrs. Third.

Mrs. Meng sighed: "Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite, and your mother-in-law's life is not easy. You, the eldest daughter-in-law, have not been able to help host the middle school for two years. Now the third daughter-in-law has such a thing. How unlucky."

Ye Xizhao said with a smile: "Where can I preside over Zhongfu now? You have to find someone to take care of the dowry house and property. Besides, it's too early to say this now."

Meng blamed herself: "It's all my fault. I'm so used to you that you only know piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I didn't teach you the others."

"Take your time, I will pay attention to learning in the future. If you appear eager, it will offend Mrs. Tai, do you think this is the reason?"

Mrs. Meng thought for a moment, then said earnestly: "In a few days, you will take better care of your body and take care of the dowry by yourself. Everything from simple to difficult, groping for the door with your heart. Only after you take care of your own life will your mother-in-law dare to take care of you. I leave it to you to do big and small things. You can't go on like this forever, and your mother-in-law can't always work so hard. She doesn't want to live a leisurely life? If you really don't live up to it, if I am your mother-in-law, I will make you two Siblings and sisters are hosting the show, I'll see where you put your face!"

Ye Xizhao nodded solemnly, "Okay, I understand your painstaking efforts."

Mrs. Meng thought about what Ye Xihan said about being slapped, and couldn't help warning: "You should change your temper. Once you get angry, ignore it, even your elder brother dares to beat you, that's not okay. Live on, Even in a fight, you have to be kind and pleasant, that's the ability, like you, you don't know when you offend someone, and you're not afraid of being plotted secretly."

Ye Xizhao nodded again.She is very clear about her own shortcomings, and she also knows that her mother is eager to pass on her half-life experience to her.In the past, she didn't like to hear these things the most, but now she keeps every sentence in her heart.

Mrs. Meng wanted to continue the conversation, but because the servant girl kept reporting which distinguished guest had come, she had to go back to the flower hall to accept.

Ye Xizhao sent the maid to rest on the beauty's couch in the Xici room.After a while, I heard the conversation between my father and Yu Shaoheng after they entered the hall, and the tone of both of them was extremely indifferent:
Ye Shuxuan said, "Come to see your mother-in-law?"

"Yes, I have something to inform Xi Zhao."

Ye Shuxuan continued: "They are in the flower hall, go order someone to report."

Yu Shaoheng responded casually.

"You started to treat Xi Zhao kindly, and today you came to congratulate him again, and you have made the Xiangfu's face, very good."

Yu Shaoheng said: "Have I treated Xi Zhao badly?"

"..." Ye Shuxuan pondered for a moment, his voice became a little irritable, "Forget it, I won't mention the past!"

"You might as well say it clearly."

"You almost took Xi Han's life, what do you say about this matter? Last time you talked about him, this time you give me an explanation. You don't know that he is Xi Zhao's elder brother? If he died under your sword... .”

Yu Shaoheng's tone was cold to the bone, "I only know how to kill people, and I have a sense of proportion."

When Ye Xizhao heard that the two were fighting again, he stood up anxiously, hesitating whether to go out, and at this moment he heard his father's angry words:
"The sword is ruthless, no matter how measured you are, accidents are inevitable!"

"It was your eldest son who made the provocation first, and I have already visited the house, so what else?"

"You dignified Marquis of Yongping, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, why don't you have the slightest tolerance for others? Xihan is impulsive and irritable, so you just accompany him to mess around? You don't care about the face of the prince's mansion? I really don't know how you created it in the first place. Victory!"

Yu Shaoheng seemed to be smiling, and his voice turned gentle, but the sharpness in his words became more serious: "Ye Xiang wants face, so he should discipline your eldest son well. If the heir who picks quarrels is in the Marquis Mansion, he would have been imprisoned in the firewood room with his legs broken. .As for military achievements, it is definitely not obtained by being impulsive and irritable in pursuit of false fame."

Ye Shuxuan snorted coldly, "It's really rare for a warrior to be eloquent."

These words are too ugly.Ye Xizhao's heart tightened, he was really worried that Yu Shaoheng would get angry the next moment and leave in a huff.

Unexpectedly, Yu Shaoheng said with a smile, "A martial artist, how can he compare with Ye Xiangqiao, who can turn black and white with his eloquence."

"you!……."

Ye Xizhao couldn't help sighing silently, where could he find such a Weng son-in-law who would be on the verge of a sword in just a few words?Didn't the eldest brother tell her father what she was thinking?Why is my father still blindly criticizing Yu Shaoheng?

She quickened her pace, entered the hall, and called out with a smile: "Father, Master Hou."

"You're not in the flower hall?" Ye Shuxuan was very surprised, while speaking, he forcibly restrained his anger, and his expression turned gentle.

Yu Shaoheng, however, calmed down and nodded slightly.This guy's expressionless expression of joy and anger is admirable.Thinking about it the other way around, it's the character of being mad that people don't pay for their lives. Others are going to be mad with anger, but he looks like he's okay.But after all, it was my father who was too extreme, how could he criticize him like this?

Ye Xizhao looked at Ye Shuxuan helplessly.

Ye Shuxuan stood up, "I'll come back to get something, you can meet me in the study in the afternoon."

Ye Xizhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."

Ye Shuxuan got up and went to the wing.

Only then did Yu Shaoheng smile apologetically, "Are you angry?"

"No." Ye Xizhao was ashamed of his father's harsh words, but he couldn't apologize to him instead of his father.Although the father was wrong, but he didn't suffer, so she didn't need to deal with it.After pondering for a while, she murmured, "Will it get better in the future?"

In the past, Yu Shaoheng was the most powerless person, but now she is the prime minister, so he said without confidence: "I hope."

Ye Xihan is now a martial artist, and he always secretly opposes him.And his father-in-law always takes sides with Ye Xihan, pointing at him from time to time and saying disdainfully that he is a martial artist, and he can't hide his gangster spirit when he becomes a civil servant... It's not that Ye Shuxuan is insane and unreasonable, it's from the bottom of his heart Misunderstanding and hatred of him.It is precisely because of too much understanding that there is no way to alleviate this situation.

Concentrating on these thoughts, Yu Shaoheng talked about the purpose of coming to find her: "I ordered Chang'an to find a good doctor for you early in the morning, and now there is a result - this doctor is rushing out, and he is leaving Beijing today, and Chang'an will bring him here. I left the Prime Minister's Mansion, did you meet?"

"Ah?" Ye Xizhao fell into a struggle. He didn't want to disappoint his good intentions, but he was embarrassed. He lowered his head and looked for excuses. Aren't you afraid of goingssip?"

"If you don't tell me, who would have known that you were meeting a doctor?" Yu Shaoheng patted her forehead lightly and teased, "Isn't it a good thing for you to have abdominal pain?"

"Of course not, but..." Ye Xizhao was full of reluctance.

Yu Shaoheng laughed again: "Who told you that all the doctors are men?"

"Master Hou means—" Ye Xizhao raised his head, surprised and pleasantly surprised.
