Rebirth's Charm

Chapter 62

When Zhong Lishan and Qiao An arrived at the flower hall, everyone couldn't hide their surprise.

On spring day, Zhong Lishan let go of Yu Shaoheng's refusal to marry, and everyone knew that she would die or live in order not to marry someone else.As for the purpose of her coming this time, what people can think of is that she is still not giving up and intends to get close to Yu Shaoheng.

And Qiao An was originally the daughter of the chief soldier of Longcheng in Mobei. After marrying far away and moving to Beijing, she seldom went out for a walk, and the people who interacted with her were always guests in Xiao's residence.Therefore, most people have only heard of her name and never seen her real face. In addition, Xiao Xun has always given people the impression of being a maverick and making people fearful. Surprisingly, it was more serious than Zhong Lishan's coming.

Ye Xizhao was only curious about one thing - how Zhong Lishan and Qiao An met.There seems to be a rift between the two people, and it is even more impossible to guess.When I was busy entertaining everyone, I thought about finding someone to ask the reason in the future.

Afterwards, Yuanyang came to Ye Xizhao's side, took a chance, and whispered what Madam Tai wanted her to tell:
"Ma'am, I've heard that Prince Jing was stationed in Mobei for some years before, and he only returned to the capital a few years ago. And Prince Jing's son wanted to marry Mrs. Xiao a few years ago. Love, because the commander-in-chief of Longcheng categorically refused at that time, so he gave up. Because they were in Mobei together once, the princess and Mrs. Xiao knew each other when they were teenagers."

Ye Xizhao felt relieved.In Zhong Lishan's eyes, Qiao An and his father must be people who don't know what's good or what's wrong?

At this moment, Zhong Lishan was sitting in front of Mrs. Tai with a small smile, as if she was talking about something.

Qiao An ordered the accompanying maid to come and ask Ye Xizhao if he had time to speak.

After hearing this, the second lady smiled at Ye Xizhao: "Sister-in-law just go and talk to Mrs. Xiao, and leave the rest to me."

"Second brother and sister, thank you." After Ye Xizhao thanked him, he ordered Xia He to invite Qiao An to the gazebo to talk.

Ye Xizhao wasn't the type to flirt with people he met for the first time, and neither was Qiao An. The two women treat everyone the same way, they answer what others say.

Therefore, after taking a seat in the gazebo, Qiao An asked straight to the point: "Is the marriage of the third master of the Hou Mansion settled?"

Ye Xizhao also told the truth: "Not yet."

"To be honest, I came here this time with the intention of making connections."

Ye Xizhao was slightly surprised, and asked with a smile, "Really?"

Looking at Ye Xizhao's smiling face, Qiao An was unconsciously infected, and gave a soft smile, "That's true. To tell you the truth, madam, many people who go to Xiao's mansion seek medical treatment from my sister. I am Because of this, I got to know some family members of officials."

Ye Xizhao nodded and waited for the next article.

Qiao An slowed down her tone: "It was in the spring day, Mr. Guan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, had a problem with his wife's body. He went to Xiao Mansion regularly to ask my sister to check her pulse and change her prescription. Occasionally, Miss Guan's Fourth Miss would accompany her. After coming and going, I became familiar with Fourth Miss Guan. I think he is a well-educated person, and his mother is not eager for quick success. I have heard people talk about the matter of the third master of the Hou Mansion several times, but so far there has been no result. , that’s why I have this plan.”

Ye Xizhao thought while listening.Most of the affairs that the people in the Ministry of Rites are in charge of have nothing to do with power struggles. Just talking about family status, there is no need for the Hou Mansion to worry about it.However, she couldn't guarantee anything until she met someone and knew the details of the other party in detail, so she said in a harmonious voice: "I don't want to hide it from Madam, Madam Tai is very cautious about the third master's marriage, otherwise it would not be here today." There's no conclusion yet."

Qiao An smiled knowingly, "If Madam has no objection, you can discuss this matter with Madam Tai in detail. If Madam Tai has no objection, I hope that you will take the time to go to the Xiao Mansion in the future, and then I will invite the mother and daughter of the Guan family together go."

Ye Xizhao nodded readily in response.

Qiao An only came here for this matter, and after the results came out, she had no intention of staying any longer, so she sat down for a while and left, asking Ye Xizhao to apologize to Mrs. Tai on her behalf.

Ye Xizhao took advantage of Mrs. Tai's time to go back to her room to change clothes, and said this.

After Mrs. Tai heard about it, she laughed, "With this temperament, I can be regarded as the same as Mrs. Xiao Xun."

One sentence made Ye Xizhao laugh, and then he repeated Qiao An's intention.

Mrs. Tai thought for a moment, then nodded, "In that case, you just wait for the news from her side, and go see how he is for me."

Ye Xizhao was surprised, "How can I go for such a big event by myself? My vision is no match for yours."

Mrs. Tai smiled and patted her hand, "Now you do something for me, I am [-] rest assured." Then she joked, "You are going to choose your third younger sibling in the future, so it should be better than mine." Be more cautious. I just meet people every morning and evening at a fixed time. To put it bluntly, I can avoid seeing people upset. But you are different. If you accidentally find someone you can’t get along with all day long, you will suffer in the future. It was you who spoke."

Ye Xizhao laughed softly when he heard the words, and understood that Mrs. Tai's words were only out of trust and reliance on him, so he didn't refuse, "I'll go and have a look first, and I will try to bring him back later, so that you See you."

"Okay." Mrs. Tai talked about Zhong Lishan again, "After talking to me for a while, I realized that she is familiar with Mrs. Cheng of the Clan's Mansion."

"Madam Cheng of the Clan's Mansion," Ye Xizhao was no stranger to this person, "Three times in a row, she brought her two sister-in-laws over."

"Yes." Mrs. Tai's expression turned serious, "Princess Ping'an's words are inside and out, and she is praising that side, and her intention is self-evident. If it weren't for this section, we would really have no way of knowing that the clan's mansion is in the inner house." They are also from Prince Jing's side."

Ye Xizhao also suppressed his smile, "That's right."

"It's impossible for Shao Heng not to know about this, and he didn't know to remind us a thing or two, it's really..." Mrs. Tai is now liking Ye Xizhao more and more, and at the same time, she is more and more dissatisfied with Yu Shaoheng.

Ye Xizhao naturally wanted to speak for Yu Shaoheng, "Master Hou is really busy these days, and he doesn't have time to take care of these things. Besides, I never mentioned it. He may think that we already know the situation, and I was careless."

Mrs. Tai responded with a gentle smile, "He has such a temper for everything, and he doesn't speak until the last moment, which is really annoying."

Ye Xizhaoxu helped Mrs. Tai, "Let's not talk about this, you go to play bridge with others, they are waiting for you."

"it is good."

When Mrs. Tai was playing bridge, Zhong Lishan couldn't talk anymore, so she turned to Ye Xizhao to talk.

Zhong Lishan said something, and Ye Xizhao answered it calmly.Now it's not impossible to greet people who dislike him with a smile, but Yu Shaoheng is always ruthless to Prince Jing, so she doesn't need to cater to Prince Jing's daughter.

When Zhong Lishan was talking, she couldn't control herself from looking at Ye Xizhao, let alone the jealousy in her heart.

She admired the man to the bottom of her heart, and refused to give her a chance to get close, and she fell in love with the woman in front of her.

Today, what she saw was that Ye Xizhao and Mrs. Tai's words and deeds were intimate and intimate, and what she saw was that every smile of Ye Xizhao came from the bottom of her heart.

Yu Shaoheng gave Ye Xizhao a stable and comfortable life that no one could ask for.

Ye Xizhao does have the amazing beauty in the rumors, even if she is full of jealousy, she has to admit that this woman is extremely pleasing to the eye from head to toe, every word and deed, every frown and smile.

Isn't it reasonable for a beautiful hero to make a good story?
She almost despaired of it.However, she has no way to give up, and if she can accommodate a little, she won't still be in her boudoir and refuse to get married.

As for Zhong Lishan's feeling to Ye Xizhao, apart from the initial disgust due to previous reasons, she didn't feel that this person was difficult to get along with when talking casually.

Undoubtedly, Zhong Lishan is disdainful to put down her body and slander others, and she and Qiao An must have had a bad relationship for a long time before they meet each other, but she is gentle and polite to Ye Xizhao.

This made Ye Xizhao feel that this woman was getting more and more pitiful - if it wasn't for Yu Shaoheng's love, she would be a person who could live a carefree life.But if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't give up his obsession, he wouldn't refuse to accept his fate at this time.

Love is really a double-edged word, as much joy as it can give some people, it can also give some people so much pain.

At the end of the day, when Zhong Lishan left, she asked Ye Xizhao with a smile, "Can I come here more often in the future?"

Ye Xizhao couldn't help but slander: This is what I said... Of course I don't want you to come in, but with your status and family background, can I still keep you out of the Hou's mansion?

Mrs. Tai saw Ye Xizhao's brief hesitation at the side, and took the words: "It's the honor of the Hou Mansion to be honored by the princess. It's just that my daughter-in-law is very busy on weekdays, and I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you well. .I am usually very leisurely, but I am afraid that the princess will find it boring to talk to me."

"How could it be?" Zhong Lishan said with a smile, "Madam Tai doesn't dislike me for being ignorant."

Mrs. Tai sighed in her heart, but her face was naturally as kind as before.

Because of this, Princess Ping'an, who covets Yu Shaoheng, will become a guest of honor in and out of the Hou's mansion from time to time in the future.

Ye Xizhao and Mrs. Tai couldn't laugh or cry because of this.If the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't know Yu Shaoheng very well, they really have to worry that Zhong Lishan will take advantage of them.

On this day, Yu Shaoheng came back on time, went to pay his respects with Ye Xizhao, and then returned to his room for dinner.

During the dinner, Ye Xizhao told today's events one by one.

When Yu Shaoheng heard about Zhong Lishan, he felt helpless and puzzled, "What did she think? Prince Jing is really shameless."

Ye Xizhao was half joking and half appealing to the truth: "What about a father who is always looking for death and life for you? You can't watch your daughter sacrifice her life for such things."

"You don't mind." Yu Shaoheng smiled, and then talked about Qiao An's proposal, "She must have acted under Xiao Xun's persuasion, so just go and have a look."

Ye Xizhao nodded, "Okay. The third brother's marriage is settled, and Mrs. Tai can be happier. These things have made her old man so depressed that she closed the door to thank guests on her birthday." After talking, Mrs. Tai's sorrows are all on Yu Shaoyun.

Just after saying this, Chang An came over.

Yu Shaoheng asked someone to call him up to speak.

Chang An hurried to the hall, and his voice was a little hurried: "Please, Lord Hou, go to the other courtyard in the west city—just now the servants from the other courtyard came to report that Mr. Xiao and Prince Jing's son started fighting over there, what is the situation at this time?" , it is impossible to guess.”

Yu Shaoheng frowned.

Ye Xizhao's heart also hung up.No matter how categorically Yu Shaoheng refused, Prince Jing's mansion did not give up its plan to marry the Hou's mansion.Otherwise, how could Zhongli Ming find the other courtyard where Yu Shaoyun was.It can be predicted without thinking, Zhong Liming has no good intentions, and would rather use any means to trick Yu Shaoyun into his hands.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Xizhao followed Yu Shaoheng and stood up, "I'll go with you. If the situation is worrying, I'd better bring Shaoyun back."
