Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 51

Not to mention the fact that King Jing deliberately brought down the prime minister's mansion in the previous life, but only the fact that his favorite Princess Ping'an did not marry Yu Shaoheng, which already made people feel disgusted.But right now, Zhong Lizhen is asking to marry Yu Shaoyun again, probably it is Prince Jing's idea, and there are other plans.

Of course Mrs. Tai did not have any hesitation about this matter, she immediately declined politely, she only said that Yu Shaoyun had only one daughter under her knees, and she wanted to keep her for two more years, and then discuss the marriage when she was older.

However, this incident did not end there, and it caused the most troublesome thing for Mrs. Tai - in the next few days, no one came to propose a marriage for Yu Shaoyun, and all those who came before were gone.

However, the person entrusted by King Jing came to the Hou's mansion every few days and took the trouble to arrange the marriage of the two families.

Mrs. Tai said to Ye Xizhao with both laughter and laughter: "That's good. If things go on like this, I'm afraid no one will care about my worry-free daughter except Prince Jing's son."

Although Mrs. Tai didn't show anything on her face, she was full of doubts and anxiety in her heart.After all, with Yu Shaoyun's age and appearance, even if he had committed mischievous behavior, the proposer should have broken through the threshold of the Marquis Mansion. Such a situation of no one caring about him is really frightening.

Ye Xizhao also really couldn't figure it out.Could it be that those who proposed marriage were all afraid of Prince Jing, so they gave up their thoughts?But that doesn't make sense either.

Then, Ye Xizhao went to Yu Shaoyun's room and asked bluntly: "Shaoyun, tell me the truth, have you ever met Prince Jing's son in private?" What's worrying is that Yu Shaoyun has other secrets here.

Yu Shaoyun felt aggrieved at first, "You mean that I have been with him in private? How is that possible? My father was at odds with Prince Jing when he was alive, and the Hou's mansion will never have any contact with the people in the mansion."

Ye Xizhao's voice softened slightly, "I'm just worried, so I came here to ask. I think you've heard about Prince Jing's marriage proposal. The situation is really strange now."

Yu Shaoyun pondered for a moment, "Prince Jing's mansion wants me to marry, it's clear that they want to win over my elder brother, and it really has nothing to do with me. As for Zhong Liyang, I met him when I was naughty before, and I know his appearance. If you haven’t seen it before, let alone mention anything else, you can rest assured.”

Ye Xizhao studied Yu Shaoyun's eyes, and seeing her frank eyes, he felt a little relieved, "Don't blame me for being troublesome. I can't tell the depth of your temperament, and Xiao Xun has looked for you in private. It’s inevitable that things will go elsewhere.”

"Why don't I have a headache." Yu Shaoyun twitched the corners of his mouth in annoyance, "It stands to reason that Prince Jing's family status is not low, but he doesn't have that much influence, right? Why is there no one who comes to propose marriage? Mother now The one who frowns when he sees me... Who do you think I offended?"

Ye Xizhao thought for a moment, then said firmly, "You must be hiding something from us."

"No!" Yu Shaoyun shook his head in denial, lowered his head, and continued to do embroidery work.

"Still saying no?" Even avoiding his eyes, it was clear that he had a ghost in his heart.Ye Xizhao stroked his forehead and sighed, but he also knew that he couldn't ask anything by himself, so he went back to the main room.

During these days, Yu Shaoheng had been ordering people to privately investigate the real reason why Xiao Xun came and went to the Hou's mansion to meet Yu Shaoyun, but there was no progress.Whether Xiao Xun played tricks on the air, or deliberately made it leak-free, it all resulted in the same result—no trace to be found.

Now that I heard about Yu Shaoyun and other things, for some reason, the first person that comes to mind is Xiao Xun.

At noon this day, after thinking about it, I went to Xiao Xun's residence.

It was a coincidence that today, Xiao Xun, who is often away from home, was in the study.On the case in the study room, there are many confessions, topographic maps, biographies of several officials and portraits of some people.

Xiao Xun had already prepared the wine, and raised his hand to signal Yu Shaoheng to take a seat opposite the table, "I knew you would come to me sooner or later."

Yu Shaoheng focused on those portraits, picked up one and glanced twice, "Isn't this the person you ordered people to search for for two years without any results? The paintings are so vivid."

Xiao Xun didn't hide much from Yu Shaoheng about what he was doing, so he explained: "There are a few decent people added this year, those portraits in the past are not good, and they are all the same." After drinking a glass of wine, he said, "You came at the right time, I will go out later."

Yu Shaoheng cut to the chase: "Do you know why I'm here?"

Xiao Xun smiled, "I can guess. You ask, I will pick and choose the answer, don't expect me to say more."

"Who was the person you said earlier that you liked Shaoyun?"

"It's not Zhong Ligan. Prince Jing's Mansion is looking for you and wants to join hands with you."

"But relatives of the emperor?"

Xiao Xun thought for a moment, "No."

Yu Shaoheng got up and went out.

Xiao Xun couldn't help being annoyed, "Say a few more words with me, what's the matter with a glass of wine?"

Yu Shaoheng reluctantly turned around, picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then asked, "Where did this wine come from? It's so strong."

"My wife specially brewed it for me, and wishes me to die in a drunken dream."

Yu Shaoheng almost laughed when he heard this.

"Your life is getting better and better, but my marriage is better than nothing." Xiao Xun became irritable after speaking, stood up and walked out of the study with Yu Shaoheng, "Go home, I'll go out to have fun."

On the way back to the Ministry of War, Yu Shaoheng ordered someone to pass a message to the people in the outer courtyard: the person who proposes marriage for Zhong Lizhen will come back, and he will be directly rejected.Even if Yu Shaoyun couldn't get married in this life, he would accept that it would be impossible for him to marry Prince Jing's mansion.

At this time, Mrs. Tai called Yu Shaoyun into the room, and asked earnestly, "Have you ever had any plans for marriage?"

"What plans can I have?" Yu Shaoyun smiled puzzled, "I listen to you and elder brother—oh, now there is sister-in-law, I just listen to your arrangements, shouldn't it be like this?"

Mrs. Tai didn't hide her thoughts, and said seriously: "I've been flustered for the past few days. I always felt that something was going to happen, so I thought that no matter what, I'll settle your marriage first. Do you have any objections? What's the matter?" You may as well speak to me directly.”

This means avoiding Prince Jing's mansion's idea of ​​her, and it also means that she may have to marry into an unremarkable family—in a hurry, how can Mrs. Tai find a son-in-law Chenglong Kuai? Wronged her one or two.

Yu Shaoyun lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then raised his eyes, still smiling, "Mother, everything is up to you. I have long understood that women in official families have no choice in matters of life. I can't help elder brother, so , try to avoid causing trouble to him.”

But a few words made Mrs. Tai very sad, so she hesitated, "Maybe I was too worried, wait a little longer, let's talk about it in a few days."

Yu Shaoyun comforted: "No matter what, I will listen to your arrangement, so don't worry about it."

"I see." Mrs. Tai forced a smile and patted Yu Shaoyun's hand, "Go back to the room."

On the way back to the room, Yu Shaoyun thought about the things in front of him, and his mind was full of thoughts.

Hearing the brisk voice, Yu Shaoyun raised his eyes and saw Ye Xizhao was walking and telling the servant girl what was going on.

At the beginning, when Ye Xizhao came in, Yu Shaoyun felt that this woman was both pitiful and hateful.The pity is that the marriage is involuntary, and his life is reversed according to the family situation; the hateful thing is that his temper is too cold, and he doesn't take a good look at anyone.Now that some things fall on my head, I know what kind of state of mind it is.

Immediately, Yu Shaoyun smiled self-deprecatingly.In the future, her situation cannot be compared to that of Ye Xizhao.No matter what, Ye Xizhao and her elder brother took good care of her.As for her, how dare she expect to have such a blessing.Besides, in view of the bad deeds in the past, who would pay a lot of effort for her.She turned around quietly and made a detour back to the room.

Yu Shaohuan often stays at home these days, and he is very clear about Yu Shaoyun's affairs. Knowing that Mrs. Tai is very upset, he took the initiative to go to Mrs. Tai's room, saying that he is really not in a hurry to marry again now, and asks Mrs. Tai to clarify this matter. Take it easy.

Mrs. Tai also nodded along the way, and said with a smile: "This matter is indeed too urgent. If you are upset, you will make mistakes. I will plan this matter for you in the future."

On Ye Xizhao's side, there was always a struggle in his heart: he didn't know whether he should remind Yu Shaoheng to think about some things to the emperor.That's right, she actually felt that the suitors disappeared one after another, and it was likely that the emperor ordered Xiao Xun to cause this situation, which made Mrs. Tai feel uneasy.

But it's easy to say, so what kind of reasons should I use to explain my guess?If the emperor or Xiao Xun had left some clues, Yu Shaoheng would have noticed it long ago, so why should she be reminded by a woman in the house.And the real reason is that I can't tell him for the rest of my life.

I think about this every day, but there is no result.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Ye Xijin got married.

Ye Xizhao expected that Ye Xijin would be unwilling, and something might happen when she got married, so she informed the people in the Hou's house in advance, and she just went to make a cutscene.If it is necessary to be laughed at, the fewer people who read the joke, the better.

The Prime Minister's Mansion on this day seemed to be very festive and lively, but many people gathered together and whispered, not understanding why the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion married an unknown and poor scholar.

After Ye Xizhao saw Meng Shi, Xu Shi came over.

"Sister-in-law." Ye Xizhao went forward and took a few glances. Xu's complexion was good, and without Ye Xihan's concubines, he seemed to be in a better mood.

Xu smiled and took Ye Xizhao's hand, "Shall we go and see Xijin?"

Ye Xizhao nodded, "Okay."

Mrs. Xu said as she walked, "Your elder brother received a letter from Du Liang two days ago. Du Liang was walking and playing, and he was still on the way. He told your elder brother that Miss Feng Wu wanted to commit suicide several times on the road, which made him half dead. .”

Thinking of Du Liang's character, Ye Xizhao couldn't help but chuckled, "If he looks like that, anyone else would be so angry that he would seek death."

"That's true." Xu smiled knowingly, "It's not that I would really sympathize with Miss Feng Wu after hearing what she did. Right now... let her go, the road is to be walked out step by step of."

"Isn't that so?"

The two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law chatted leisurely, and when they arrived at Ye Xijin's small courtyard, they found that the courtyard was very quiet, which was a bit abnormal on such a day.Just when I was wondering, I heard the exclamation of the servant girls and mother-in-law from the room.
