Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 37

In the second year of marriage, Yu Shaoyun was sent out of the capital.

When Mrs. Tai suggested that Yu Shaoyun return to Beijing, she knew that it would not be easy to become a real family with Yu Shaoyun.But Yu Shaoyun is an indispensable person in this mansion, even if he has to work hard, he still has to muster up the courage to face it.

This is not because Yu Shaoyun was the queen in the last life in the previous life, but because Yu Shaoyun is the younger sister of Yu Shaoheng's mother.The relatives who are connected by his blood are all whom she should treat kindly and sincerely, just like the respect and care she paid to Madam Tai during this period, over time, it has changed from deliberate to natural.In this way, Yu Shaoheng will not be caught between her and her relatives.

With these complicated emotions lingering in her heart, she didn't know when she fell asleep.

On the second day, when I went to pay my respects, Mrs. Tai told her with both laughter and laughter: "Just now your second brother came back and told me that the emperor ran away again last night. It will delay government affairs. As for the empress dowager, she is too angry to order people to look for her."

Ye Xizhao couldn't help laughing because of the words "ran away again".Recalling past lives, discovering that some things have changed.The queen mother is too lazy to search, so the emperor can stay in the private sector for a while. In this case, the tour in micro-service will be brought forward by two months.She vaguely felt that the early implementation of this matter had something to do with Yu Shaoheng not being seriously ill and bedridden.

Seeing changes, some situations are different from the previous life, after all, it is a good thing.

Afterwards, the second wife came, and she also heard about Yu Shaoyun, so she came here to comfort Mrs. Tai.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked and laughed, and before they knew it, it was almost noon.

Ye Xizhao and the Second Madam cook together, and accompany Madam Tai after lunch, and then go back to the room for an afternoon nap.

Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xihan were having dinner at a restaurant in Zhuo County.

Ye Xihan's coming this time was approved by Ye Shuxuan, and he was ordered not to slack off, not to indulge in drinking outside, and it is serious to help Yu Shaoheng find Yu Shaoyun first.As for Ye Xihan, he also wanted to show his face in front of Yu Shaoheng, so he rarely drank a drop of alcohol in the afternoon, and had a meal with Yu Shaoheng, and continued to look for old acquaintances, and sent people to search for them.

People were looking for Yu Shaoyun, relying on the clue that this woman has a beauty mole between her eyebrows and two sweet dimples when she smiles.There are not many that have both these two points, so it is easier to find them.

At dusk, someone came to report to Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xihan, saying that they had found a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old who had both characteristics in an inn.

Hearing this, the two of them hurried to the inn under the guidance of others.

In the inn, there were guards outside the upper room where the woman stayed.

Yu Shaoheng pushed open the door, went in and looked, but there was no one there.Seeing some items left by the woman in the room, Yu Shaoheng asked Yu Shaoheng to confirm that the woman was Yu Shaoyun.

Ye Xihan followed in, couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "Run away?"

"This bastard!" Yu Shaoheng was very annoyed, and after thinking for a while, he turned around, "She probably wants to go back to Beijing, come with me."

Ye Xihan followed Yu Shaoheng out of the inn, and followed Yu Shaoheng at full speed.When it was getting dark, I could faintly see a carriage in front of me.

Yu Shaoheng galloped on his horse, stopped the carriage, and said in a deep voice, "Yu Shaoyun, get out!"

Ye Xihan heard the tone, and looked at Yu Shaoheng's face, he couldn't help clicking his tongue, feeling that Yu Shaoyun might be in trouble.

There was no movement in the carriage.

Yu Shaoheng asked again: "Tired of work?"

"No." A woman's melodious and clear voice came from inside the carriage, very lacking in confidence.

"come out!"

Yu Shaoyun resigned to his fate and got off the carriage, with a mischievous smile, he walked up to Yu Shaoheng's horse.

Seeing her face clearly, Ye Xihan couldn't help applauding secretly.Before this, he had never seen a woman with a more outstanding appearance than Ye Xizhao, and Yu Shaoyun in front of him was as beautiful as Ye Xizhao, each with its own merits.

Ye Xizhao's beauty is like an orchid in an empty valley, elegant and elegant, with an air of independence wherever he is.

Yu Shaoyun's beauty is lively and energetic, with a sly smile hidden in a pair of bright eyes, and the beauty mole on the center of the brow makes this beauty a little more charming.

At this time, Yu Shaoyun bowed respectfully, "Brother, thank you for your hard work, I will apologize to you after I go back."

Yu Shaoheng replied with a gentle smile, "It's not hard." Immediately, the whip in his hand was raised and lowered, and it hit Yu Shaoyun's shoulder hard.

Yu Shaoyun's beige covering the outside immediately cracked, and his figure swayed violently.She frowned and looked over her shoulder.

Ye Xihan was amazed, and thought that this fellow is not afraid of beating people up badly.

After a moment of silence, Yu Shaoyun raised his head, still smiling, and asked Yu Shaoheng: "Is brother tired? Are you relieved? Do you want to hit him a few more times?"

Yu Shaoheng glanced at her sideways, and explained the reason for his anger: "It's okay for you to stay away and not return home, but you wrote a letter to tell mother what to do? Do you know what kind of worry mother has become?"

"I know I was wrong." Yu Shaoyun pouted, and lowered his head, "So I thought, the letter arrived home, and I also arrived home, so I can give you a surprise. Who knows, the estimate was wrong." At the end, he said, " I'm already this old, why are you worried about me?"

"In mother's eyes, you will always be a child." Yu Shaoheng glared at her.

"Okay, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong." Yu Shaoyun raised his face and took the initiative to explain the reason for running away from the inn, "I know you are looking for me, and I know that you will definitely get angry when you see me. Go home in one step." Then he muttered, "In front of mother, it's not easy for you to hit me."

"It's the truth." Yu Shaoheng's anger finally dissipated, and he smiled, "Get in the car."

Before getting into the car, Yu Shaoyun looked at Ye Xihan, nodded politely and smiled, but felt a little strange in his heart - aren't these two people incompatible?They came to find her together today.

After that, Yu Shaoheng and Ye Xihan rode their horses in front, followed by the carriage.

Ye Xihan couldn't help teasing and said: "You can do it, since I was a child, I seldom even said serious things to Xi Zhao, let alone hit her."

Yu Shaoheng said: "I beat Shaoyun up since she was a child. She and Xi Zhao are completely different things. You can't beat her."

"..." Ye Xihan said in his heart that you are being cruel, and then smiled, "Girls are different in their mother's house than in other places. They are more mischievous, and it is fine to be sensible outside."

"I hope so."

After a while, Ye Xihan suddenly said seriously: "You beat and scold your sister frequently, and you treat Xi Zhao..." He was very worried about this.

"I don't hit women."

Ye Xihan was surprised, "Isn't your sister a girl?"

"She's a tomboy."

Ye Xihan couldn't help laughing, and then said: "In two days, you have to go to the prime minister's mansion to meet me for a drink."

"Why didn't you go to the Hou's mansion and let me entertain you?"

Ye Xihan said straightforwardly: "You are my brother-in-law, why should I go looking for you?"

Yu Shaoheng laughed, "Okay, then I'll bring two jugs of good wine." This time, Ye Xihan has contributed a lot to finding Yu Shaoyun so quickly.

"A word is settled!"

It was early morning when Yu Shaoheng brought Yu Shaoyun back to the Hou Mansion.

Yu Shaoheng returned to the main room.Yu Shaoyun went back to his room to change his clothes, and then went to see Mrs. Tai immediately.

When Mrs. Tai saw Yu Shaoyun, her eyes turned red.She only has this one daughter, but she has been separated for too long.

"Mother!" Yu Shaoyun stepped forward quickly and held Mrs. Tai's hand, "My daughter is back."

Mrs. Tai suppressed the sadness in her heart, and said angrily: "It's not your elder brother looking for you, I don't know how long you will be crazy outside! Don't you miss home at all? Other people's daughters are all caring little padded jackets, but you are a troublemaker. Refined!"

"Mother—" Yu Shaoyun drew a long voice, and laughed coquettishly, "I actually heard that there was a famous embroidery master there when I went to Zhuojun, and I wanted to invite someone to teach me at home—the master said that her embroidery skills are not good. Surprisingly enough, I've mentioned it a few times."

"Really?" Mrs. Tai smiled gratifiedly, "Tell me quickly, what have you learned?"

"Except boxing skills, I can learn everything - piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, female celebrities, tea art, the rules of everyone's ladies..." Yu Shaoyun frowned as he said, "I was exhausted to death, and I don't know how my eldest brother found such a thing." Master."

Mrs. Tai said: "It would be great to entrust you to such a person to train you. Otherwise, with your previous behavior, who in the world would dare to marry you?"

Yu Shaoyun smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better if no one married you? Then I can guard you forever."

Mrs. Tai refused to comment, and asked: "Your elder brother saw you, didn't you lose your temper?"

"No." Yu Shaoyun said, "You scolded me a few words, and then brought me back." She had long been used to Yu Shaoheng's impatience and bad temper, and now she didn't want Mrs. Tai to worry, so she didn't mention the beating.

While talking, Ye Xizhao and the second wife came over.As soon as the two entered the door, they saw Yu Shaoyun and smiled at the same time: "Shaoyun is back?"

Yu Shaoyun nodded, and went to curtsy to the two sisters-in-law in a dignified manner, "Shaoyun has met the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law."

The two hurried forward to help each other.

Yu Shaoyun glanced at Ye Xizhao thoughtfully, thinking that the sun came out from the west?This person can actually smile so softly, compared to before, it's like a different person.

Mrs. Tai said to Yu Shaoyun: "You sent a letter back to the house, which made me very angry, and I was worried that you would make a mistake outside. I was really upset. Fortunately, your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law stayed with me all day, otherwise I would never be happy. I will be bedridden by you."

"It's all my fault." Yu Shaoyun turned to Ye Xizhao and the second wife again, "I'm bothering you two sister-in-laws."

Both of them smiled and said something should be done.After sitting for a while, he said goodbye, and let the mother and daughter have a good talk.

After the two left, Yu Shaoyun sat beside Mrs. Tai and asked, "What's wrong with my sister-in-law? Did she take the wrong medicine? She looks very virtuous."

"What's that called!" Madam Tai poked Yu Shaoyun's brow hard, "Your sister-in-law didn't do anything wrong, she just treated people a little coldly, but now she is not what she used to be, she treats me very filially and caringly."

"Really?" Yu Shaoyun was full of suspicion, "It stands to reason that with her temperament, my elder brother forcibly married her back, and within three to five years, I'm afraid she won't be able to unravel her knot."

Mrs. Tai's face darkened, "What are you talking about! Are you unhappy to see the harmony in the family? You really can't live a peaceful life!"

"Do I still have to cover up when I'm talking to you?" Yu Shaoyun said, "I didn't fabricate it out of thin air. She and the number one scholar cousin have known each other since childhood, and Ye Xiang and her cousin's father are close friends. I'm afraid the family has acquiesced in this marriage for a long time. Speaking of which, if I were her, I would definitely feel unwilling to be married back by my elder brother. Isn't that why she was so serious before?"

Mrs. Tai slapped Yu Shaoyun on the back, "No matter what, it's an old thing, and now you and your elder brother are married together, which is better than anything else. Besides, every lady, there will always be a sense of proportion." , don't make wild guesses, don't talk nonsense! Speaking of which, how is your elder brother worse than that Zhuangyuanlang, and what point is he not better than that person? Let me talk about this, if your elder brother hears it, look at him Don't break your leg!"

Yu Shaoyun murmured: "I don't believe it. My elder brother and I seem to have a disagreement. He will be very angry when he sees me."

Mrs. Tai became even more angry, "Do you still have the face to say? How many children from rich families did you beat up the year before last? How much money did you spend in the family? It almost made your eldest brother busy for nothing that year! That's all, after all, money is something outside of the body, but Your elder brother still has to go door to door to make amends and apologize to people - all these years, when did he do such a thing? Isn't it all for you? I don't know how to be grateful, but say this kind of thing instead! How could I have given birth to you, a worthless person? thing!"

Yu Shaoyun really hadn't thought about these things before, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel guilty, "I was wrong, mother, I was wrong, don't be angry." He leaned into Mrs. Tai's arms, "Don't say these things Now, tell me something else, why don't you see my third sister-in-law come to say hello?"

Mrs. Tai sighed and told the recent events one by one.

In the main room, Ye Xizhao walked to the bed and gently shook Yu Shaoheng's hand, "How about something to eat?"

Yu Shaoheng didn't want to refuse, but he was really too lazy to get up, and said with a smile, "It'll be a while, I'm too lazy to move."

"You don't need to move, just wait." Ye Xizhao went out lightly, and after a while brought a small black lacquered table, put it on the bed, went to get the food, and put it on the small table, "Sit up Do you always have the strength?"

Yu Shaoheng smiled and sat up, looking at her pink dress, which made her skin pink and tender, like a peach blossom that just bloomed.

"What are you looking at? Eat quickly." Ye Xizhao urged him while sitting at the end of the bed.

Yu Shaoheng picked up the small porcelain bowl and asked her, "Have you met Shaoyun?"

"Well, I've seen it. I'm more sensible than before."

"It's only you who say that. In my opinion, it's still the same as before. I'm sorry."

Ye Xizhao couldn't help laughing, "You are the only one who is still brooding about the past."

"No matter how much she dares to be naughty with you, if she really offends you, just tell me."

"No." Ye Xizhao felt that Yu Shaoyun was just a little fox, even if he troubled someone, he would not show it clearly.What's more, people from the Yu family, no matter what their style is, whether there are flaws in their temperament or not, they all understand right and wrong.This is due to Mrs. Tai's good teaching.

After Yu Shaoheng finished eating, Ye Xizhao cleaned up, let him rest at ease, and went to the hall to do embroidery work.

It was almost noon, Zhilan and Xia He successively reported the affairs of Feng Huixuan and Song Mansion:
Early in the morning, Du Liang went to An Guogong's mansion to be an important person, and immediately took Feng Huixuan out of the mansion, and embarked on a journey back to Shandong.Mrs. An Guogong fell to the ground crying outside the gate, and Feng Huixuan burst into tears.

On the Song Mansion's side, Yu Shaohuan and Song Xinyao sorted out the matter of reconciliation and separation, and ordered people to send all her dowry back to the Song Mansion, and the two broke up.Afterwards, Song Qingshan ordered people to send Mrs. Li and Song Xinyao to Qingfeng Temple, and the mother and daughter often faced the ancient Qingdeng Buddha.

These two people with greedy and evil thoughts finally reaped the fruit of their own accord and had their final fate.Ye Xizhao felt at ease, at the very least, those who were close at hand and who wanted to destroy her relationship with Yu Shaoheng had left her far away, and she only had to concentrate on managing the matters related to her in the Marquis' Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future.

The idea is good, but the reality is not satisfactory.

In the afternoon, Ye Xijin, the seventh lady of the Xiangfu, came to the Houfu to talk to Ye Xizhao.

Ye Xizhao disliked all the concubine sisters, and everyone in the prime minister knew it.But for Ye Xijin, there was always sympathy in his heart.Ye Xijin's biological mother was the third aunt, and the third aunt came from a humble background.In Ye Xizhao's memory, the mother and daughter had always been living in a difficult situation, and they were often trampled by other aunts and concubines.Today it was also because of that sympathy that he straightforwardly ordered Ye Xijin to be invited indoors.

After Ye Xijin entered, Ye Xizhao took a few glances and couldn't help being surprised.Standing in front of her was Ye Xijin, with a ruddy complexion, wearing a cherry red satin spring shirt, wearing a cloud-shaped ruby ​​silk flower on her head, and two ruby ​​earrings on her earlobes.Looking at his expression again, he was no longer shy and cautious as in the past.It turned out to be a facelift.And the maid who followed Ye Xijin was holding gift boxes, big and small, which was even more strange.

"Sit down." Ye Xizhao pointed to the chair beside him.

After Ye Xijin was seated, she looked at Ye Xizhao with a smile, "How is eldest sister?"

"Fortunately."

"Well, it seems that the eldest sister looks better than ever."

"Really?" Ye Xizhao knew that speaking so concisely would make people feel that she was perfunctory, and there was no way for people to extend the topic, but there was no way, it was a habit for the concubine, and there was no way to change it.

Fortunately, Ye Xijin didn't care, and didn't intend to stay long. He pointed to the gift box held by the maid, and said with a smile: "The reason for my visit this time is because San Yiniang said that when the elder sister got married, we never gave a decent gift. , This time I chose some objects to express my heart. In addition, my sister-in-law also asked me to bring two exquisite objects." After saying that, she ordered the maid to put all the gift boxes on the table.

Ye Xizhao felt it was too strange, and declined politely: "You and San Yiniang don't have a lot of money, so you don't need to spend money on me. I appreciate your kindness, I'd better take these things back, and I'll go back to the Prime Minister's mansion to see them someday. you."

Ye Xijin smiled and said: "Eldest sister's words are out of the question." Then he stood up and said, "Elder sister must be busy with trivial matters, it's not like we are at leisure, so don't bother me."

"Just sit down, I'm fine today." Ye Xizhao came to the table, "I'll open it and have a look, you won't be angry, right?"

Ye Xijin stepped forward and said: "Sister, just watch slowly, I have an appointment with two younger sisters, please forgive me for taking a step first."

"I can't compare to your little sister? You can't listen to my words?" Although Ye Xizhao's tone was soft, he was strong, "Go back and sit down."

Ye Xijin had no choice but to stop, and said with a sneer: "I didn't intend to disturb Eldest Sister, but Eldest Sister has spoken, so I will accompany you to look at these gifts."

"Alright." Ye Xizhao instructed Zhilan to open the gift boxes one by one.

The objects that Mrs. Xu gave to Ye Xizhao, one was a little rabbit carved from mutton fat jade, which could be filled with one hand; Fineness.

Ye Xizhao liked it very much, and told Zhilan: "Choose two things from my dowry some other day, and bring them with me when I go back to my mother's house."

Zhilan said yes.

As for the other so-called third aunt's congratulatory gifts, Ye Xizhao sneered inwardly - they were all from Tang Hongxiao.Or paintings, or poems and songs.

This lingering spirit!
Looking at the things spread out on the table, Ye Xizhao pointed to a picture of orchids, glanced at Tang Hongxiao's name on the signature, and asked, "Where did this come from?"

Ye Xijin explained in a harmonious voice: "Nowadays, some paintings of Tang's cousin are hard to come by, but he doesn't care about these external things, and just gave them to me a few days ago. But I am stupid, and I can't appreciate this elegant artistic conception. Seeing that my eldest sister is full of talent, I will pass it on."

Ye Xizhao subconsciously glanced towards the bedroom.Yu Shaoheng was still resting inside, so he didn't know if he would hear these words.After that, she said in a cold voice, "Take all these back, I don't want these messy things!"
