Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 43

The two aunts and sisters-in-law arrived at Mrs. Tai's room. Mrs. Tai gave Ye Xizhao a gentle smile, but gave Yu Shaoyun a cold look.

"Mother, I have something to tell you." Yu Shaoyun grabbed Ye Xizhao's sleeve while speaking, "Let my sister-in-law listen, okay?"

Mrs. Tai knew what Yu Shaoyun was going to say, so she didn't hide Ye Xizhao's words. She nodded after hearing the words, but then reprimanded: "What are you doing with your sister-in-law, will she still run away? Sit down and talk!"

Ye Xizhao secretly laughed, it could be seen that Mrs. Tai was furious when she saw Yu Shaoyun today.

After the two of them were seated, Yu Shaoyun sorted out his thoughts and recounted all the things he had said to Ye Xizhao. Some things that Mrs. Tai didn't like to hear, naturally she didn't mention a word.

Mrs. Tai pondered for a long time, and asked: "Which family has been resettled, will you be able to keep yourself safe?"

Yu Shaoyun heard that Mrs. Tai's attitude had softened, and she was overjoyed, "Naturally. This time I went to Zhuojun, but I didn't meet them. I just hid in the dark and watched their current situation."

Mrs. Tai looked at Ye Xizhao again, "What do you think about this?"

Ye Xizhao replied: "From my daughter-in-law's point of view, this is Shaoyun's heart disease. She always feels that she owes that servant. If she can make up for it a little, her heart will be slowly unraveled."

Yu Shaoyun nodded in agreement, "Yes. In the final analysis, if he has other thoughts about me, I will feel that he is reaping the fruit of his own accord. The problem is that he doesn't have it. It's not that I don't know what kind of girl I am before I leave home. Lied and threatened to let him spend time with me."

Mrs. Tai sighed: "Don't blame me for making a big fuss. Things that you think are insignificant are often the source of disasters. The reputation of your daughter's family cannot tolerate a trace of stain. If there is a slight mistake, people will laugh at you all your life. Especially you or your sister-in-law. Women from famous families often live for their family, not for themselves. If you have flaws, it will be a shame to the entire Hou family."

Yu Shaoyun lowered his head and whispered: "Why are we so unlucky? How much do we owe you?"

Mrs. Tai said in a low voice: "You say it again?!"

Yu Shaoyun replied with an innocent smile, "No."

Mrs. Tai couldn't help frowning, "Talk to your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law in your spare time, and see how they behave."

"Mother, just don't worry, I went to my sister-in-law's room early this morning, if you don't believe me, you can ask."

Mrs. Tai gave Yu Shaoyun a gouged look, "Did you pester your sister-in-law to do embroidery for you? Who can't see your ghostly thoughts?"

"No way." Yu Shaoyun said in his heart that I really wanted to, "Sister-in-law is so busy, how can she have time to help me?"

Mrs. Tai didn't bother to be serious with her, so she talked about the little boy, "That family, I will fulfill your wish and order someone to find them a long-term job - like you, it is not appropriate to give money, poor people Getting rich quickly will make people forget what they are doing. And you have to do what you say, forget about it, let alone do similar things in the future."

Yu Shaoyun repeatedly nodded and promised: "Well, I will definitely do what I say!"

"This matter has been settled, and I will order the housekeeper to inform you in time." Mrs. Tai waved her hand impatiently, "Go back, don't waver in front of my eyes, it's annoying to look at you! I'll talk to your sister-in-law .”

Yu Shaoyun made a grimace, got up lightly, smiled at Ye Xizhao when he left, and said silently, "Thank you."

"Xi Zhao," Mrs. Tai smiled and patted her side, "Come and talk."

Ye Xizhao sat down with a smile.

"Does your hand still hurt?" Madam Tai beat someone for the first time in her life today, but accidentally injured her daughter-in-law, she felt really sorry.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Ye Xizhao raised his hand to show Mrs. Tai, "Look, it's okay."

Mrs. Tai said: "Shao Heng is full of anger, right?" At that time, others may not have noticed the expression of the eldest son, but she could see it clearly, it really hurt her heart.

"How could it be? Master Hou didn't say anything."

Mrs. Tai laughed, "It's just because of my favor. If someone else is around, I'm afraid I'd be angry." Then she took the account book, "Is what you want to ask about the progress of the silk and satin farm?"

Ye Xizhao nodded, "That's right. The manager of the silk and satin village obviously withholds some income every year, which is nothing compared to the total. My daughter-in-law is puzzled that no one has paid attention to his behavior."

Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "You are just getting started, so it is reasonable to not understand these things." Then she dialed and said, "You can tell from the books that the business of this shop is booming, and most people probably don't have the kindness of the shopkeeper." capacity."

Ye Xizhao's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, "Daughter-in-law understands. Just like some people are honest and upright, not greedy, but can only earn 100 taels of silver; If there is no silver, then he can turn a blind eye and close one eye if he withholds ten or eight taels of silver."

"Yes, that's exactly the case." Mrs. Tai smiled with satisfaction, "It's good to understand this principle. Isn't it true that many people have no benefits? How can others do their best if you don't give me any money? Naturally, if If people don’t have enough hearts, it’s a different matter.”

Ye Xizhao stroked his forehead embarrassingly, "Daughter-in-law always refused to pay attention to these things in the past, and I'm afraid she will have to bother Mrs. Tai in the future."

Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "What is this called? Didn't it take me many years to find out the experience? You come here from time to time, just treat it as a commonplace chat with me."

Only then did Ye Xizhao feel at ease, "It's just as long as Mrs. Tai doesn't find it annoying."

Afterwards, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and Ye Xizhao said goodbye and went back to the room.

Yu Shaoyun sat obediently in front of the embroidery frame with a focused look.If you look at it like this, it really has a quiet look.Looking at the embroidery work again, the stitches are even and neat, she really learned it hard, she refuses to admit this, it's nothing more than laziness to do it.

Ye Xizhao sat down in front of the embroidery frame opposite Yu Shaoyun, and took another look.Pink shirt and skirt, beautiful eyebrows and bright eyes, delicate lips, slender wrists, and the beauty mole between the eyebrows make her face charming, adding a touch of charm.I really can't figure it out, how can such a little beauty be born with a stubborn temper?Being reprimanded and beaten at every turn, but it's a normal look... It can only be said that everyone has his own life.

Yu Shaoyun raised his head and smiled playfully, "Does it look good?"

Ye Xizhao nodded calmly, "Naturally it looks good."

Yu Shaoyun sighed seriously: "Oh, it's a pity that I was born two years late, otherwise I would have been able to compete with you for the title of the number one beauty."

Ye Xizhao couldn't help laughing, "An idler makes something out of nothing."

"Of course you don't mind, anyway, in the eyes of the eldest brother, you are the most beautiful no matter what."

"...." Ye Xizhao was speechless.

"By the way, before the eldest brother comes back, you must remember to remind me to leave early. He was so angry in the morning, and he would have hit me long ago if he hadn't been in front of my mother." Yu Shaoyun rubbed his shoulders while talking, " I’m still not healed from the whip I was given in Zhuojun.”

"What?" Ye Xizhao was surprised.Brother and sister reunite after a long absence, is this the meeting gift?

Yu Shaoyun lowered his eyelids in frustration, "It's absolutely true, your elder brother was there at the time. You can think for yourself how stupid my elder brother is."

Ye Xizhao just didn't understand, "Why is Lord Hou so angry?"

"I want to know too. It is supposed to be wrong, but I dare not ask." Yu Shaoyun felt uncomfortable when talking about Yu Shaoheng, and couldn't sit still after a while. Let me say something nice, okay?" Before Ye Xizhao could answer, he had already walked away quickly.

Ye Xizhao couldn't stop laughing.

Later, Mother Yao came and brought news from Ye Xijin:

Today, the prime minister found a matchmaker and went to the home of the scholar Han Cheng to talk about marriage.For Han Cheng's parents, this is a good thing that can't be asked for, so they readily agreed.

Han Cheng, however, did not know how to count. He said that a scholar has the integrity of a scholar and would never do things like clinging to the powerful. In the end, he was slapped several times by his father before he dared to speak out.

If Ye Xijin were replaced by someone else, Ye Xizhao would really be worried that her married life would be difficult - with such an unreasonable husband, anyone would be pissed off.It's a pity that this person is Ye Xijin, and Ye Xijin is greedy for money to help Tang Hongxiao, so if he falls into her eyes, it is unforgivable.

There are some things that she will pay again and again in exchange for her sincerity, such as to everyone in the Hou Mansion; some things, she will not allow herself to have the slightest hesitation and sympathy, such as those who have malicious intentions towards her.

In the evening, Yu Shaoheng failed to come back for dinner.Because Ye Xizhao has become a habit of thinking about it every morning and evening, he no longer remembers it no matter how busy he is in the past.

Mrs. Tai told several people that she would take Yu Shaoyun to offer incense and pray for blessings tomorrow. Because of the long journey, she had to leave early, so tomorrow's morning and evening appointments would be avoided.

When Yu Shaoyun heard this, she wished she could buy firecrackers to celebrate—it would be a great thing for her to have an honest reason to leave the house and stop doing embroidery work.

After Ye Xizhao took a rest, Yu Shaoheng came back, lying beside her, still asking about the lunch.

Ye Xizhao felt that there was no need to mention it, so he said, "It's all right."

But Yu Shaoheng was caught off guard and said, "Is it because of that boy in Zhuo County?"

Ye Xizhao was taken aback, "How do you know?"

"Why can't I know?" Yu Shaoheng said, "No matter how busy you are, you still have time to listen to the big and small things from people around you. What's more, Shaoyun's incident caused a lot of trouble."

"Mrs. Tai always thought you didn't know." Ye Xizhao finally figured out one thing: I can't blame him for hitting Yu Shaoyun when he raised his hand when he saw him in Zhuojun, but he didn't make it clear.

Yu Shaoheng explained: "Mother took the initiative to punish, I don't need to be troublesome. Besides, Shaoyun is too stubborn, and he pushed her into a hurry, maybe he will do something."

"Everything is hidden in your heart, and you are not too tired."

Yu Shaoheng smiled, "Let's listen, what happened to that?"

Ye Xizhao told the story, and then persuaded: "In the future, don't just raise your hand and hit her. Just say whatever you want. You can't choke her with Shaoyun's temperament."

Yu Shaoheng was a little helpless, and why was he willing to do this, "You don't know how many troubles she has caused, and after the troubles, she refused to admit her mistakes, and she didn't even say a word. If you don't hit her, who will you hit?"

"Anyway, you have to change. I can't stand seeing you throw things and hit people at every turn."

Yu Shaoheng smiled slightly, "Listen to you." Sliding his fingertips over the small scar on her neck, he said with a little reproach, "Why are you not careful? The more you live, the more you look like a child."

"Are you blaming me for being heartless?"

"It's clearly distressing." He said, kissing her earlobe with his lips, "I'm very happy today, you are a veritable member of the Yu family." Share worries for him and his close relatives, and try our best to take care of everyone's feelings .

Ye Xizhao said sincerely, "Because you are also very kind to me."

"It can be better." Yu Shaoheng's hand became restless, and he sealed his lips with a kiss, swallowing her angry and laughing voice.

When the beauty spread here, Yu Shaoyun was sitting under the lamp, playing with a jade bi.Jade bi is of high quality and extremely delicate.She could tell that it came from a prominent family, and it was a gift from a young man she met in Zhuo County. Unfortunately, she didn't even know the man's name, and she only listened to her followers calling him Seventh Master.

This is her secret, and she is not sure whether this matter will become another source of disaster for her.There is no way, the consequence of making troubles into a habit is to make her doubt everything she has ever done.

It was undeniable that after meeting him once, she could never forget that man.

On that day, under the guidance of the locals, she hired a carriage and went to the village where the boy was.At noon, the coachman stopped the car on the side of the road to feed the horses. Seeing that the surrounding scenery was good, she put on her veiled hat and got out of the car to look at the scenery.

After a while, the man and his followers appeared in sight.

The man has phoenix eyes and thin lips, exuding dignity and elegance, his expression is impossible to understand.The mood is leisurely, but it has given people invisible pressure.

She knew that she had to restrain her words and deeds when she was outside, so she avoided the side of the road.

The man rode his horse as usual, but when he passed by her, he suddenly reached out and took off her veil, and then landed in front of her.

She was very angry, but in the end she was afraid of encountering a local snake, so she suppressed her anger and turned to leave.

But the man was in a good mood by her angry appearance, and his smile was as pleasant as the moon and the breeze.

"Angry?" the man asked her, his voice clear and mellow.

She ignored it and moved on.

But the man suddenly called her name: "Yu Shaoyun."

She was so surprised that she had to restrain her curiosity so that she didn't look back and ask questions.

The man pushed forward, "I have been away from Beijing for a year, and I became dumb? What kind of master did Yu Shaoheng find for you?"

Such a person who knew her well made her feel alarmed, and suspected that she was the enemy of her elder brother, so she put herself on guard.

The man came up to her leisurely, returned the veiled cap, and handed her the jade he was wearing with him, "Go home early, I'll look for you."

She didn't answer.

"One against two, do you have a chance of winning?"

She quickly settled the account, took the jade bi at once, got into the carriage in a hurry, and called the driver to hurry.

Looking back at this moment, if the jade in his hand didn't really exist, I would really suspect that it was a dream.

Hearing that the hall door was gently pushed open and closed, Yu Shaoyun just thought it was a maid on duty who came in to see if she was asleep.Afterwards, the very light footsteps of the visitor made her look terrified, this was not the usual pace of a maidservant.Listen carefully, it is similar to the footsteps of the three brothers, but it does not belong to any of them.

man?

A big man ran into her room?

This realization made Yu Shaoyun angry.
