Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 38

"This, this..." Ye Xijin looked back in surprise, then looked down at the things on the case, "How can this be called a mess? This poem was written for you by my cousin on the day of my eldest sister's 13th birthday. I wrote it, and he drew this painting for you that day, look, how vivid the painting is." She spoke and pointed to a long poem, "As for this, it was written by him after the prime minister retired, Sister, look, how sad he is."

When Ye Xizhao listened to these words, his thoughts turned several times and he didn't stop him.Some things that have happened, let others say what they want to say.Even if it is stopped today, what about in the future?Others knocked sideways in front of Yu Shaoheng, and the result could only be worse.As a result, she calmed down, even when Yu Shaoheng heard it, she also recognized it.

"Who is so sad?" Following the clear voice, Yu Shaoheng paced into the hall.

Ye Xijin didn't expect Yu Shaoheng to be in the room, so he was very timid for a while, and after curtseying, his voice became tense: "I've seen Lord Hou."

Ye Xizhao looked at Yu Shaoheng, "Master Hou, Seventh Sister sent these things."

Yu Shaoheng arrived at the desk, glanced at it, and then glanced at Ye Xijin, "It's really pervasive."

It was Tang Hongxiao who said this.

Ye Xizhao said to Ye Xijin again: "Seventh Sister, let's take it back."

Ye Xijin didn't dare to raise any further objections, "Yes."

"No need," Yu Shaoheng turned and walked out, his voice becoming more understated, "Just burn it."

After Yu Shaoheng went out, Ye Xijin hurriedly packed those things, "Sister, I'd better take them back."

Zhilan raised her hand to stop her, her tone was not kind: "Miss Seven just ignored what Master Hou said just now?"

Ye Xizhao turned around and sat down, calling softly, "Ye Xijin."

Ye Xijin was taken aback, then turned to look at Ye Xizhao.

"Your days are coming to an end." Ye Xizhao waved his hand, "Go back and wait."

"Then, then I'll go back." Ye Xijin walked out, and after going out, he smiled.Ye Xizhao must not know that she and San Yiniang are different now, and it will not be so easy for anyone to bully her again.

In the evening, because of Yu Shaoyun's return, the family gathered for dinner in Mrs. Tai's room.

Ye Xizhao glanced at Yu Shaoheng from time to time, always feeling that he was in a bad mood, but he couldn't find a real reason.

In front of the whole family—it should be said that in front of Yu Shaoheng, Yu Shaoyun is very cute and lovely, standing up from time to time to serve everyone, and talking about how strict and punishing the master makes her want to cry without tears , Everyone felt distressed and laughed when they heard it.

After the meal, before Yu Shaoheng left, he gave Yu Shaoyun an errand: "You embroider a screen with flowers and wealth for your mother, and you must finish embroidering it on your mother's birthday."

Yu Shaoyun immediately lost face when he heard the words, "There are only more than two months, and I can't finish embroidering without eating or sleeping. Aren't you just afraid that I will go out and run around? Don't worry, I will never leave the gate in the future."

"Which time didn't you say that? It's settled." After Yu Shaoheng finished speaking, he said to Ye Xizhao and the second wife, "No one is allowed to help her." After Yu Bi informed the wife, she went to the study.

Yu Shaoyun looked like he was about to cry, and looked at Mrs. Tai pitifully, "Mother, tell me, is there such a brother? I want to spend more time with you in my spare time."

Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "I think it is feasible. You have never given me anything for my birthday in the past, and you are making an exception this time."

Yu Shaoyun walked away sullenly, almost going crazy with anger.

After Ye Xizhao went back to his room to take a bath, he rested listlessly, thinking that Yu Shaoheng might not come back tonight.Tang Hongxiao was a thorn in his heart. When he heard that person's name, he would become very irritable just like her.Even if he wasn't angry with her, he wasn't in the mood to chat and laugh as usual.

She tossed and turned for a while, and finally turned off the light.

In the dead of night, Yu Shaoheng came back.Put a calligraphy and painting on the hall table before washing.

Back in the dormitory, lay down beside Ye Xizhao, and took her into his arms.

Ye Xizhao asked: "Are you willing to come back?"

"Ah."

"Are you tired? If not, we..."

"No lack, let's get busy with serious business." Yu Shaoheng didn't wait for her to speak, he pretended to ask for a kiss, and with his hands restlessly, peeled off her pajamas.

Ye Xizhao blinked blankly, where is this?
She pushed him away, "Can't we explain the matter clearly first?"

"Can't you just talk when you're free?" Yu Shaoheng said with a smile, and then embraced her again.

After being tormented by Haosheng, Ye Xizhao sighed, nestled in his arms, and asked with exhaustion: "Are you upset about what happened in the afternoon?"

"No. I just trust you."

"Then why did you run to the study?"

Yu Shaoheng laughed, "I went to the study because I have something to do. Am I the one who hides in a fit of anger?"

Ye Xizhao felt at ease, and asked casually, "What did you do? Can you tell me?"

"You will know tomorrow morning, go to sleep and be obedient."

Ye Xizhao covered his mouth and yawned, but couldn't keep his eyes open, "Yeah."

She didn't expect that when she fell asleep, she overslept.When I woke up the next day and looked at the sky, I became anxious—it was past the time to ask for peace.Look at the pillow side again, it's empty.

This person...can't you just call her?

Ye Xizhao got dressed angrily, and called someone to prepare water for a bath—after all, it was too late, and besides his body was full of ambiguous smells, it was not good to go to see Mrs. Tai in such embarrassment.

Xia He walked in and said with a smile: "Master Hou said that Madam is not feeling well, and this servant asked the small kitchen to make a bowl of bird's nest with rock sugar." He was telling her tactfully that Yu Shaoheng had given her an excuse to get up late.

Ye Xizhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, "It's nothing serious."

Coming back from the bath, dressed neatly, Xia He brought a painting and calligraphy to Ye Xizhao, "This should be brought back by Master Hou last night, and put it on the desk, Madam, have a look?"

Ye Xizhao opened it up to look, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and his heart was sweet.It turned out that when he went to the study last night, he went there to write and draw screen patterns for her.

It was a long poem full of boldness and comfort, and the font was still elegant and powerful regular script.

Seeing the last two sentences, Ye Xizhao's eyes narrowed slightly:

The angry horses in fresh clothes forget each other, and the beauty and wine pay Liuguang.

She has never read this poem before, could it be Yu Shaoheng's?
At this time, Xia He said: "This servant can read a few words, remember that this poem was written by Lord Hou in the past."

Ye Xizhao's smile deepened, he carefully put away the calligraphy and paintings, and then asked, "Where is Lord Hou?"

"After Lord Hou went to pay his respects, the servant of the Ministry of War came, and the two of them went out."

"got it."

Ye Xizhao took the medicine first, then finished his breakfast and went to Mrs. Tai's room.

As soon as Madam Tai saw her, she asked with concern: "I heard from Xia He two days ago that you take medicine every day. Do you feel very uncomfortable today?"

"Mrs. Lao is concerned, she is fine." Ye Xizhao was blushing inwardly, "Perhaps it was caused by the effect of the medicine, but he couldn't get up early in the morning."

Mrs. Tai's expression softened, "It's good that you're fine. You're young, you have to take good care of yourself."

"Daughter-in-law knows." Afterwards, Ye Xizhao hesitated for a moment, and still said that he would go back to the prime minister's mansion, "The land of the daughter-in-law's dowry is taken care of by her natal family—the daughter-in-law was really useless in the past, but now she wants to take the dowry over to her." Take care of it, and get the account books later."

"Okay, this is your own business, you can make up your own mind." Mrs. Tai smiled with satisfaction, "If you don't understand anything in the future, just ask me. If Shao Heng is free, I can help you a little."

"Daughter-in-law, thank you Madam."

After receiving Mrs. Tai's consent, Ye Xizhao returned to the prime minister's residence.

Meng Shi asked in surprise: "Why are you back again? In the past, you couldn't even invite me, but now you just run to your mother's house every now and then, can't you have a sense of proportion? I'm not afraid that your mother-in-law will be unhappy."

Ye Xizhao cut to the chase, "Mother, you have prepared all my dowry account books, and I will take them with me when I leave. I am coming back this time to tell you about my third aunt and my seventh sister."

Meng Shi heard some emotions in these words, and said seriously: "Then tell me."

Ye Xizhao recounted what happened yesterday, and then said: "Seventh Sister is also getting married, so you should find her a husband's family as soon as possible, since she is greedy for money, you should find her a family that is hard-pressed."

"This..." Meng shi hung her head in embarrassment.

"What's the matter? What's the problem? Tell me."

Mrs. Meng sighed, "Your father rests in the third aunt's room every day recently. I'm afraid I can't make up my mind about your seventh sister's marriage. Of course I am willing to fulfill your plan, but how can I stand beside other people's pillows?" wind?"

"You are the mistress of the Xiangfu, and you can't even be the master of this matter? Why do you interfere with the male master and the female master? You should settle the marriage first, and I want to see what he can do?"

Meng Shi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Why do I listen, you sometimes speak in a tone similar to Lord Hou's?"

"No way." Ye Xizhao then smiled, "Do you agree or not?"

"I..." Meng Shi hesitated again, "Let me think about it."

If you don't give accurate words, this matter will not be possible in all likelihood.Ye Xizhao got a little angry, "You are really good! You are good everywhere, but you are too indulgent to everyone in the inner house. My eldest brother and I are spoiled by you and your father, and you always try to be friendly on the surface of the concubine and concubine. ——Do you think that you can get a good reputation as a virtuous man?"

Seeing each other in astonishment after being scolded like this, Meng shi sighed for a while and said, "You've grown up and become sensible, and it's only reasonable that you don't like my style anymore."

Ye Xizhao also knew that what he said was serious, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was right.Besides, besides her, who would go to the mother to point out this kind of words?After deliberating for a moment, he got up and said: "I don't want to hurt your heart, but the Prime Minister's Mansion is really in a state of gold and jade. Can I apologize to you again——Is father in the mansion?"

"Yes." Meng shi forced a smile, "You go, talk to me when you come back."

On the way to the study, Ye Xizhao thought that if he wanted to get rid of Ye Xijin, he could only do it from his father.You can say anything to your mother, but after all, you can't bear to let your mother be in a dilemma.

Ye Xizhao came to the study and bowed his knees to salute.

Ye Shuxuan smiled and raised his hand, "Sit down quickly."

After Ye Xizhao took his seat, he smiled and said, "Father, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

"Just say it."

Ye Xizhao said his plan: "You immediately order someone to call Tang Hongxiao, and I will talk to him, and you go inside and listen. After listening, I think you will probably be able to see who he is. "

Ye Shuxuan pondered for a moment, "Alright." Then he ordered someone to invite Tang Hong to laugh, and then asked, "Did something happen?"

Ye Xizhao asked back: "In your opinion, people who have been engaged to each other, after they get married, shouldn't they let go of their past affairs and manage their lives well?"

"Hong Xiao...he..." Ye Shuxuan really didn't know what to say, as a father, there were some things he couldn't say.

"I have been disturbed by him these days, and I have been disturbed by big and small things. If Lord Hou really cares about it, how should I deal with it? What is the difference between Tang Hongxiao's despicable means and ruining my reputation?"

Ye Shuxuan's expression became serious, "What did he do?"

"First, they bought the maids and women of the Hou's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. After those people were dismissed by me, they bought my seventh sister-you should have heard of this. Yesterday, my seventh sister took the paintings he made in the past, sour The poems were delivered to me, and I was bumped into by Lord Hou!" Ye Xizhao became angry when he said that, "Look at the good daughter your beloved third aunt trained!"

Under such accusations, Ye Shuxuan almost blushed, and then smiled justifiably: "Don't be angry, I will punish the mother and daughter for this matter. I also think that the third aunt is still safe, and she came from a humble background. I was trampled on every day, and I only took care of one or two recently..." I don't want to say these things, if I don't explain one or two, this precious daughter may say something to make him come down.

"Forget it, you don't hit the south wall and don't look back. When Tang Hong laughs, you just listen carefully."

"Okay, I'll wait and see."

Tang Hongxiao thought it was Ye Shuxuan who was looking for him, so he rushed over without a moment's delay. When he entered the study, he was taken aback - the person sitting on the grand master's chair behind the desk was Ye Xizhao.

"Xi Zhao?" His surprise quickly turned into joy, "Why are you?"

"I ordered someone to invite you here. While my father was away, I borrowed his study." Ye Xizhao pointed to the chair beside him, "Sit down and talk about it."

Tang Hong sat down with a smile, and looked at the alluring woman in his eyes with a smile on his face.The water-red clothes, the ten slender fingers that were casually placed on the table, the face was covered with rouge, the rouge made her lips red and flirtatious, the eyes were bright and clear, but it made people unable to explore her mind.

Ye Xizhao said softly: "Yesterday, I accepted the things you asked Seventh Sister to send to the Hou's residence. Thank you for remembering me."

Tang Hongxiao originally didn't want to admit that he ordered Ye Xijin to do it, but because of the last sentence, he smiled, "I also want to thank you for remembering the past."

Ye Xizhao smiled sweetly, his face became brighter because of this, but his words changed suddenly, "I did accept it, and after that, I will burn it."

Tang Hongxiao's smile disappeared little by little, and he looked at her wistfully and lonely.

Ye Xizhao continued: "Just like the handkerchiefs and bracelets you asked Jade to give me before, those that should be burned should be burned, and those that should be destroyed should be destroyed."

"That's right," Tang Hongxiao was full of sadness, "You saw me today because you wanted to blame me for not forgetting you."

Ye Xizhao glanced at him for a moment, "Maybe it's not wrong for you to be concerned, but that concern should be to make me live a stable and comfortable life, not to embarrass me again and again. When I was married as the wife of the Hou family, you acquiesced in the marriage and started from the beginning. In the end, he didn't or didn't dare to confront Lord Hou, but now he uses these despicable methods, is this the behavior of a man?"

These words made Tang Hongxiao speechless and felt humiliated.He is not Yu Shaoheng's opponent, and he cannot compete with him from the beginning to the end.

"Fei Cui, Mama Wu, I've already sent them away. I think you've already heard about them. As for Ye Xijin, I will punish her by any means. No matter how much money you spend to bribe her, I will make her spit it out." .She is greedy for money, and I will embarrass her for the rest of her life."

Tang Hong's smile was half a smile, "One is willing to hit and the other is willing to suffer. People you don't like, just let your temper go."
