Chapter 326 Fight! (3)
He failed to protect his wife and children well. Even though he knew who was behind the scenes, he had to give up pursuing the investigation for the future of the Hou Mansion and the so-called overall situation.He suddenly felt the sadness of being born in the Hou's Mansion, and the responsibilities given by the family became a burden.

If possible, he really hoped to take his wife and children away from the capital, away from these filthy and unbearable things.Only their family is together, living happily and happily.But he also understands that this is an impossible luxury.Being born in the Hou's Mansion means having a safe life, and it also means taking on due obligations.

Since you can't get rid of it, let him become strong enough to protect his wife and children from wind and rain.Yixuan didn't want to fight for anything, but the development of things was not always satisfactory.He is willing to fight for the one he loves.What is the name of the son?It's just that Kong has a good shell, what he wants is supreme power!

At the same time, he also understands that the intrigue among the female relatives in the inner court has existed since ancient times, and the men who make small troubles really can't get involved.So Ruoxi had to grow up, he would rather Ruoxi hurt others, and he didn't want her to be hurt a little bit!

He hugged Ruoxi lovingly, and covered her arms outside the quilt.The two embraced each other and fell asleep until dawn.

People here are very superstitious, thinking that the first day of the new year is the first day of the year, and this day must be auspicious, so that the year can go smoothly.For the more particular families, on the first day of the lunar new year, they will go to the temple to offer incense and pray for lottery, which can predict the good or bad luck of the year.

But these families donate a lot of incense money in the temple throughout the year. Which temple is so unsightly that it touches people's brows on the first day of the new year?Those monks took out all the unlucky lottery signs on this day, and the rest were all lottery signs.Everyone knows it well, isn't it all for the word "auspicious"?On the first day of the new year, everyone still went to the temple to offer incense.

A few years ago, the old lady also brought her daughter-in-law, granddaughter and others to join in the fun, but when she was old, she was lazy about these gimmicks.Since last year, the female family members of the Hou Mansion did not go to the temple on that day, and it would be nice for everyone to have a complete rest for a day.

Ruoxi and Yixuan took the children to pay their respects, and everyone gathered in the old matriarch's Anfu residence, it was rare for the family to be so orderly.On the first day of the new year, there is no need to go to government offices or shops. The old lady laughed from ear to ear when she saw her sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren surrounded by a crowd.

Everyone was chatting and joking in front of the old lady, and a girl came in to report, saying that her in-laws came to pay New Year's greetings.It turned out that Tian's father returned to Beijing to report on his work years ago, and brought his family back with him, intending to return after celebrating the new year in Kyoto.Their family has a big house in Kyoto, which is guarded by servants on weekdays, and they only need a simple cleaning to live in.

Mrs. Tian came here a few years ago, and this time she brought the little girl from the family.Tian Xiapei, Tian's younger sister, is only seven years old this year, and happens to have the same birthday as Fei Hong, only three days away.Ruoxi met her once, she was a very upright child, but Ruoxi felt that she was too scheming and somewhat displeased.

When a female family member came to visit, Master Hou and the others stood up to leave, and Yixuan was dragged by Yihao to drink in the outer study.Ruoxi took advantage of everyone not paying attention, and whispered to him to drink less and pay attention to his body.Yixuan glanced at the others, squeezed her hand lightly, smiled at her and went out.

Mrs. Tian came in with the girl, and when she saw the old lady, she hurriedly greeted her.Even though Tian Xiapei is only seven years old, she already has the appearance of a lady, she doesn't show her feet and smiles without showing her teeth, she doesn't look like she was born in the family of a general.Her older sister is a tiger but not an anti-dog, but she is a standard lady.

I saw that she was dressed in pink and blue, with a big girl's bun on her head, only wearing mahogany hairpins.There are no expensive items on the whole body, and even the clothes are not brand new, but they are simple and generous without being petty.

She was not at all cautious, and went over to salute steadily, and said with a smile on her face: "Xia Pei greets the old lady, and wishes the old lady good health and youth forever." , full of auspicious words.

"Listen to this little mouth, it looks like it has been smeared with honey. Where did my old woman get her youth, let alone stay forever?" The old lady laughed, she actually liked this Tian girl a bit.

Tian Xiapei hurriedly smiled and said: "Mother often said that when a person is young, he must look at his heart! Some people are young, but they think old-fashioned ways and act old-fashioned, so they are not young; Everyone can follow the fashion, even the young people can't catch up. The old lady is the latter kind of person. This is a fact that everyone in Kyoto knows. I live in Huguang with my mother all the year round, and I only heard these words when I was in Kyoto. They all said that the old lady of the Hou Mansion is the latest trend, and the birthday party alone is the first of its kind. I heard that even the cook in the mansion is unique in Kyoto. The dolls and books read by the brothers and sisters are even more peculiar , What kind of clothes does the old lady wear, that is what you can’t buy with money.”

These words made the old matriarch more happy, beckoned her to sit beside him, and ordered the girl to bring the red envelope.Everyone saw that the old lady offered a reward, but anyone of the older generation should not be stingy.Ruoxi naturally also gave a gift, but due to her seniority, it was the most meager one.

No matter how sensible Tian Xiapei was, she was still just a child. The old matriarch asked the girl and mother-in-law to take her and Feihong and others down to play, and told the children not to quarrel.

"It's not easy for your in-laws to come to the capital, so hurry up and talk to your own daughter." The old lady said with a smile, "I'll order someone to prepare lunch, and I'll send someone to invite my in-laws when the time comes."

Mrs. Tian came here to see her daughter, and she stood up when she heard what the old matriarch said.Tian took her mother back to her residence, and sent her servants away to whisper.

"Have you brought the medicine I asked my mother to bring?" Tian asked eagerly.

Mrs. Tian hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and replied: "That medicine is too overbearing. Even if you can conceive after taking it, it doesn't guarantee that you will be a boy. Besides, it's just a folk prescription of a quack warlock. If you take it badly, you can't even find a person. I'm afraid... ..."

"Don't be afraid! As long as you can get pregnant!" Tian said resolutely, "That bitch has been suppressed by me. If it wasn't because she was pregnant, how could she climb on top of me? The old lady attaches great importance to her, the third master Eight out of ten days I went to another hospital. Is it because there is a piece of rotten meat in her stomach? I am so angry, I must conceive a child as soon as possible! We have been married for two years, and my stomach has not moved. How many doctors have I seen? It's not good. If it wasn't for the imminent need, how could I have taken such a risky move? Didn't my aunt get pregnant after taking this prescription? Now my cousin is seven or eight years old, alive and kicking, healthy and lively, and there is no harm in it! That bitch Being pregnant doesn’t necessarily mean a boy, and being able to conceive doesn’t mean you can give birth safely, and being able to give birth safely doesn’t mean you can grow up! I just want to give birth to a child as soon as possible, so the attention of the old lady and others I can only transfer my ability from her so that I can continue to hold her. Being bullied by a concubine daughter of a small seventh-rank official is hard to swallow! Mother, you also know what happened a while ago. Although my father came forward to mediate, Hou The Lord promised not to pursue it anymore. But I see that the old matriarch is cold and disgusted with me, and I probably already know it. If this continues, the daughter will lose the slightest status in the Hou Mansion. There will be no love from the elders, no favor from the husband, and no child How will you let your daughter live the rest of her life if she can be close to her?" After saying that, he sighed.
