Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 40

Ye Xizhao asked nonchalantly, "What is this for?"

Ye Xijin cried: "Eldest sister, you...you help me, I kowtow to you."

Ye Xizhao's tone was calm, "Isn't this cutting off my life? Besides, I'm a married person, so it's not appropriate for me to interfere in my mother's affairs. Seventh Sister, don't make things difficult for me."

Ye Xijin secretly gritted her teeth in hatred.Shouldn't intervene?Without you coming back today, how could things suddenly turn around?

Ye Xizhao turned to look at Ye Shuxuan, and said lightly, "Father, I'm a little hungry."

"Order someone to prepare the meal." Ye Shuxuan looked at the mother and daughter, "Don't make noise here, go back to the room and face the wall and think about it!"

Although San Yiniang and Ye Xijin were full of reluctance, they still left in tears.

The remaining family of three sat around the dining table to eat.

During the meeting, Mrs. Meng said that tomorrow she would find someone to go to the scholar's home to propose marriage.

Ye Shuxuan said: "As soon as possible. This matter should only be used as an example. They have done something good, and there is no need to hide it from the people in the inner house. Just put the words down: if anyone is ignorant, I will expel her from the prime minister's residence!"

"Okay, okay." Meng Shi nodded again and again, and then asked, "Xi Jin's dowry..."

"Inform the scholar's family, make an order, and keep the dowry simple."

A woman's dowry depends on the man's final dowry.Scholars don't need to force their appearance, and the dowry given by the prime minister's mansion is equal to the betrothal gift.

After that, Ye Shuxuan looked at Ye Xizhao again, put on a gentle smile, "No, how could Xizhao agree."

Ye Xizhao said earnestly: "No, I really don't agree." Then he laughed, "I knew it, my parents love me the most."

Ye Shuxuan smiled dotingly, "Who do you love if you don't?" Finally, he said to Meng Shi, "In the future, you should also clean up your inner house, and this kind of thing should not happen again."

Mrs. Meng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Xi Zhao said that the Prime Minister's Mansion is now a place of gold and jade, but it is really so. When Tang Hongxiao comes in the future, he will not be allowed to approach the inner house again."

Ye Xizhao added: "The same goes for his new wife."

"clear."

After eating, Ye Xizhao's dowry property account book was ready.Ye Xizhao didn't stay any longer, and immediately set off to return to the Marquis' Mansion.

Back in the main room, Ye Xizhao looked at the piles of account books on the table and couldn't help but stroke his forehead.She really couldn't think of any other excuse in the morning, so she talked about going to get the account book.But it is said that it must be done, but after taking it back, there is only a headache left.

Feeling depressed for a while, Ye Xizhao decided to take a nap first - it's time for a nap, so it's not good to disturb Mrs. Tai.

In a trance, I heard Yu Shaoheng's voice, as if he was asking the maid what happened to those account books.After a while, he turned into the bedroom and lay beside her.

Ye Xizhao found his hand and rested his head on his arm, "You're back?"

"Well, come back to see you in time."

Ye Xizhao closed his eyes and curled the corners of his lips, "Could it be possible that I will run away? I went back to my mother's house this morning to move my belongings."

"That's a good thing."

Ye Xizhao twitched the corners of his mouth, "I regretted moving back here, it gave me a headache just looking at it."

Yu Shaoheng laughed.Among women, she has learned a lot, but she is not good at handling accounts.But I don't feel that there is a fly in the ointment, there are advantages and disadvantages, and I am a real person.Afterwards, he said in relief: "These are trivial matters, if you don't understand anything, just ask your mother. She won't think you don't have this muscle, she will only like you more."

"I hope so." Ye Xizhao said again, "I also found a poor scholar for my seventh sister, she will marry as soon as possible."

Yu Shaoheng didn't need to think about it, and knew that it was because of yesterday's incident that she made this move, and her smile grew stronger, "You are decisive."

"If you are not decisive, you might lose your temper. One more thing is worse than one less thing. I am too lazy to agree to people who have nothing to do with me. This is the best." What Ye Xizhao really wanted to say was: "Take care of Tang Hong." If all the channels related to laughter are cut off, the estrangement between him and him, which has never been stated but has always existed, will gradually disappear.

Yu Shaoheng understood, and continued: "Compared to you, people who are officials in the same dynasty can't do this. It takes a lot of time to lay out, and you have to wait for an unknown time before you can close the net."

"Well, that's what my dad said."

"Who is Ye Xiang referring to?"

Ye Xizhao didn't hide it from him, "Of course it's the Tang family."

If Ye Shuxuan had this intention, even if he didn't intervene, Tang Hongxiao would be in trouble sooner or later.Ye Shuxuan is like this, he values ​​you and appreciates you, so he can't wait to give you his heart.He is disgusted and vigilant towards you, and he will take every step to make you fall into his trap without knowing it.This temperament can be regarded as black and white, and he is really a man of temperament.Fortunately, the former are rare.After all, he is also a person who has been in the officialdom for many years. Without real talents and learning, and no deep hiding in the city, the Ye family may have long since fallen into ruin.

Naturally, Yu Shaoheng could also imagine how much thought Ye Xizhao had put into this matter.Why, he couldn't understand.

He stroked her long hair, and repeatedly sucked and kissed her lips, full of tenderness and without indulgence.

Ye Xizhao let him alone and could feel his mood.At the end, he wrapped his arms around his neck, "Let me hug you and sleep for a while."

She hugged him... Yu Shaoheng almost laughed out loud, and said in his heart that he was really tired, and he was a little delirious when he spoke.He patted her on the back and let her fall asleep in his arms.

In the prime minister's mansion, the third aunt went to Ye Shuxuan's study.

Ye Shuxuan didn't look like she was crying outside the door, and knelt outside the door refusing to leave, so he had to let her in to talk.

Without the presence of Mrs. Meng and Ye Xizhao, and without the distinction between the mother-in-law and concubine, San Yiniang would no longer be so cautious when speaking.She looked at Ye Shuxuan, and said sadly: "Master, although Xi Jin is said to be a concubine, isn't it your own flesh and blood? A dignified lady of the Xiangfu, but she has to commit herself to a poor scholar, and she is not afraid of being laughed at if she spreads the word." Lost a big tooth?"

"Don't be afraid." Ye Shuxuan said in his heart that the most embarrassing things had already happened to him. The things in front of him were just trivial things. He really didn't mind, and then he simply said what was in his heart, "You also know that she is a concubine, you As a concubine, we should always mention her words and deeds. So what about the scholar? If he is motivated, he can still win fame in the future, how can he be judged by his birth."

"But he's already in his twenties. When did he not lose his name? If Xi Jin married him, wouldn't his life be ruined?" Third Auntie wept again, "Has Master Xiang really forgotten? You and my concubine I have said several times that Xijin will be betrothed to Tanhualang..."

Ye Shuxuan smiled calmly, "The matter is not settled, how can you really believe it? I'm afraid it's because of this that Xi Jin dared to act presumptuously in front of Xi Zhao."

"After all, she is still young, so it is inevitable that there will be times when she is confused... Besides, the young lady married the Marquis of Yongping, even if Xi Jin is not as good as the young lady, she will not be so downcast..."

"You compare Xijin with Xizhao?" Ye Shuxuan's smile became contemptuous, "Not to mention the difference between the sons and daughters, just in terms of character and appearance, these people in the mansion can't compare with Xizhao. Such words will not be allowed in the future Bring it up again."

The third aunt thought a lot, knelt down, and sobbed: "But...but the story of Tan Hualang has been spread by the people in the courtyard, how does Xiangye want Xi Jin to meet people in the future? She is crying now What if you have the idea of ​​committing suicide?"

Ye Shuxuan still smiled lightly, but his words were cruel: "Parents who suffer from body, hair and skin, if she dares to have such thoughts, she will only think that my prime minister has raised her for nothing all these years. If she wants to die, I will let her die." She died. After she died, she was wrapped in straw mats and thrown into a mass grave. You just tell her these words."

"Master Xiang..." Third Aunt was startled, and looked at Ye Shuxuan in disbelief.

Ye Shuxuan's expression changed: "You have to understand one thing, the Xiangfu owes Xi Zhao. You idlers, you don't know how to be grateful, but compare with her everywhere, it's really abominable! I've made up my mind about Xi Jin's marriage, and you can just agree to it." Come down, or thank the world with death. Go back!"

The third aunt had no choice but to leave crying.It would be better not to come this trip, but it would be better to come, there are only two roads left: life and death.

On the way back to the house, the people I met looked at her with the same eyes as before, showing contempt.The recent improvement in the situation turned out to be Huang Liang Yimeng.With tears in her eyes, she smiled confusedly.

Entering Ye Xijin's room, Ye Xijin hurried up to meet him and asked urgently, "What did father say? Has he changed his mind?"

The third aunt looked at this troubled embryo, and the more she looked at it, the more angry she became. She raised her hand, gathered all the strength in her body, and slapped Ye Xijin hard.

Unprepared, Ye Xijin fell to the ground.

"A good day has been messed up by you! Are you happy?" The third aunt said with hatred in her voice, "How good would it be to wait for the prime minister to arrange a marriage for you? , coveting those petty profits, that's all, but going to touch the bad luck of the young lady! Die! How is it right now? You toss yourself so that you will never make it, you deserve it!"

Ye Xijin was overwhelmed, and looked at the third aunt blankly, "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Don't you know why I covet those silver taels? You and I have never been rich. After I get married, don't you? Do you want to be ridiculed and looked down upon by others? I can't live that kind of life anymore! I've had enough of these years! All I think about is some silver taels close to me..."

The third aunt laughed feebly, "How well you think, what has become of the situation now? In the future, my wife may not even bother to give you the dowry, so you just wait for the rest of your life to be poor. As for me, I will also be punished in the future." You're ruined, and you can't hold your head up again."

Ye Xijin was stunned for a while, then burst into tears, stood up and wiped away her tears, then turned around to look for something.

Third Yiniang turned to sit aside and looked at each other blankly, "If you want to die, you die, it's nothing more than being wrapped in a straw mat and abandoned in a mass grave - this is the original words of Xiangye."

Ye Xijin froze on the spot, unable to move for a while.

Ye Xijin, your good days are coming to an end - Ye Xizhao's words echoed in her heart, and now, it has come true.

Ye Xizhao sat on the big kang by the window, picking out silk threads for calligraphy and painting screens.She still threw the account book aside, thinking that she would look at it when she calmed down at night.

At this time, Yu Shaoyun came, entered the hall, and bowed respectfully, "Sister-in-law."

Ye Xizhao smiled and said, "Sit down quickly."

Yu Shaoyun stood there motionless and asked, "Where's my elder brother?"

"out."

"Oh." Yu Shaoyun relaxed a lot. After sitting down, he looked at Ye Xizhao pitifully, "Sister-in-law, let me ask you a few things."

A few things - Ye Xizhao laughed in surprise, only Yu Shaoyun could say such a thing, and then said: "Let's listen to it."
