Second-hand lady

Chapter 163

After passing the garden and turning around a moon gate, you will arrive at the range of the East Courtyard.

In order to show its importance to the eldest granddaughter-in-law, the East Court sent a decent girl named Yan Cheng who was beside Mrs. Yong Chuanbo to greet her.Yan Cheng looks sweet and pleasant, and when she smiles, it makes people feel very friendly, which is why Mrs. Yong Chuanbo sent her over.

After Yan Cheng stepped forward to pay respects, a pair of beautiful eyes sized up today's bride indiscriminately, and she was a little surprised, maybe because she didn't expect that the adoptive daughter of the Wen family was too ordinary-looking, only her demeanor and demeanor could be seen. That's right, as expected of being brought up by the Tan family in Pingjin, but how could such a woman catch the eyes of the picky young master? I'm afraid she would ask to marry her only because she is the adopted daughter of the Wen family.

"Congratulations, Master and Madam, the Master and Madam have been looking forward to drinking the tea served by Madam Xin and Young Madam." Yan Cheng smiled and accompanied them to the hall of the East Hospital.

There was a smile on the faces of Xiang's father and Xiang's mother, and Xiang's father was a little more complacent. Not everyone can marry a girl from the Grand Master's Mansion. Although they didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that the Wen Mansion still had A girl, but she was appointed by the emperor to the prince when she was born. This is a supreme honor.Being able to form a family with Wen's mansion made Xiang's father, who has always been undervalued in Yongchuanbo's mansion, feel that he is a lot greater in an instant.

Talking and laughing, they soon arrived at the hall of the east courtyard.

The girl and woman guarding the door saw them coming from a distance, and smiled and went in to report, looking beaming.

Xiang's father and Xiang's mother entered the hall with their son and daughter-in-law, and greeted Yong Chuanbo and his wife who were sitting at the top of the hall.

Yong Chuanbo and his wife are not yet in their sixtieth years, they have been pampering and caring, they look hale and hearty, and because of the smile on their faces, they look kind and kind.Of course, it can also be seen from their expressions that their husband and wife are extremely satisfied with this marriage, but they are satisfied, but the second wife is not.

As soon as Wen Yanping came in, he felt the eyes of everyone either kindly, scrutinizing, or disgusting. The kind ones were naturally Yong Chuanbo and his wife, the ones looking at the third room of Yong Chuanbo's mansion, and the disgusting ones were naturally the second room.

Both the first house and the second house are from Mrs. Yong Chuanbo, and the third house is from a concubine.It is also a descendant, because the eldest son is the eldest, so he has the right to inherit for granted, and the second son is the second son of the descendant, who can only inherit a little property of the Yongchuan uncle's mansion. How can he balance it in his heart?What made them even more upset was that Dafang and his wife were idiots. They hadn't been driven to the west courtyard in the early years, and the whole Yongchuanbo Mansion was completely messed up by them.If such a fool is allowed to inherit Uncle Yongchuan's Mansion, Uncle Yongchuan's Mansion will definitely be ruined by them in the future.Therefore, I really can't blame the second room for having a disagreement and having to fight for the title.

The first room is indifferent, the second room is aggressive, and the third room is just a concubine, so the role of the third room in the mansion is to be a transparent person, watching the second room jump up and down, trying to fight for power, and the first room is stupid to do what it should do Well.Of course, this pattern broke when Dafang's only legitimate son got older.Now the eldest son's grandson is married to the daughter of the grand master's mansion, and his net worth is rising steadily, which makes the second family start to worry.

Before she got married, Wen Liang had explained these things to her carefully, and Wen Yanping knew it well, so he pretended that he hadn't seen the second wife's unkind eyes, and after offering tea to his grandparents, he followed Xiang Qingchun to meet the other elders, by the way. See brothers, sisters and sisters-in-law of the same generation.

Compared to Wen Yanping's calmness, some people couldn't react directly.

Xiang Qingming, the eldest son of the second room, almost stared out of his eye sockets, staring at the girl who lowered her eyebrows and greeted her grandparents in a gentle and elegant manner, suspecting that her eyesight was not working well, until his wife, Mrs. Song, found him Seeing the strangeness, he gave him a hand to pull back the erratic soul.

After serving tea to the elders, it was the turn of the peers and juniors.Since Xiang Qingchun is the eldest grandson of this generation, the following are younger brothers and younger sisters, so I have to greet them, and what the bride has to do is to greet them.

Xiang Qingming and Xiang Qingchun were born in the same year, but born a month behind Xiang Qingchun, so they should be called Xiang Qingchun's big brother.They were the first to meet the sister-in-law, but they didn't move, they just stared at Wen Yanping blankly.

Song frowned slightly, and secretly tugged on her husband's sleeves, seeing him come back to his senses, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you visit sister-in-law?"

When Xiang Qingming heard it, a sneer appeared on his face, the corners of his lips twitched, and he forced out: "Sister-in-law."

Except for a few small ones, none of the people present were human beings. Naturally, one could see the stiff expression on Xiang Qingming's face. Xiang's mother knew that Xiang Qingming should have recognized Wen Yanping's identity, so she raised her heart and said Fearing that he would not be able to control his mouth, he would reveal Wen Yanping's identity carelessly.Of course, I wouldn't be afraid even if it was exposed, the emperor even said that this is the adopted daughter of the Wen family, even if everyone knew it well, they had to rot it in their stomachs.But Xiang Qingming is a member of the Xiang family, and if his own family exposes it, it will be the Uncle Yongchuan's mansion who suffers. Then the mother-in-law and father-in-law will hate their house again, thinking that marrying a daughter-in-law is not safe for life.

In Uncle Yongchuan's mansion, among those who have seen Wen Yanping and can remember her, except for the people in the big room in the west courtyard, Xiang Qingming is the only one in the east courtyard. Unlucky to see him in detail, coupled with Wen Liang's intentional protection, Wen Yanping didn't show his face very much in the capital, giving people the impression that he only heard his name but didn't see him.

As for why Xiang Qingming met Wen Yanping and had such a deep impression, this is the history of Xiang Qingming's children's shoes. Wen Yanping was his disaster. When Qingchun faced each other, Wen Yanping rolled up his sleeves and came over to beat him up. Even the eldest prince couldn't save him. Is there anything more difficult than this?
Xiang Qingming knew that Wen Yanping was the adopted son of the Wen family, and she had saved the eldest prince several times, so if she beat someone, the eldest prince would have nothing to do with her.There is no way, can't afford to provoke him, can't afford to hide?

However, why did Mao, that annoying brat, suddenly transform into a righteous daughter of the Wen family, and even marry the person he hates the most, and continue to harm him?
In grief and indignation, Xiang Qingming gritted his teeth and sneered, "What a sister-in-law, she really deceives people around—" The voice stopped abruptly, Xiang Qingming opened and closed his mouth, and when he realized that he couldn't make a sound, his handsome face turned pale, his eyes were covered with tears. Bloodshot, staring at Wen Yanping with hatred.

Wen Yanping looked concerned about his brother-in-law, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with the second brother?"

When the rest of the people saw Xiang Qingming like this, they were also anxious, and hurriedly helped him to sit down and poured water for him. Just after drinking half of the water, they suddenly let out an earth-shattering coughing sound, as if coughing out their lungs.Xiang Qingming ignored the anxious parents and wives around him, and pointed at Wen Yanping with trembling fingers.

There was a smile on Wen Yanping's lips, his brows were gentle, he was respectful and quiet, and he couldn't find any mistakes.This made Xiang Qingming hate him even more. When we met last time, he was still a rough boy. He always wore a flamboyant smile and never restrained himself. But now, he actually put on the pose of a good girl!

duplicity!Standard duplicity ah ow ow ow! !
"Qingming, if you don't feel well, go back and rest first." Uncle Yong Chuan said unhappily: "Daughter-in-law Qingming, help him down."

Song knew that her husband made a fuss and it was not good for her to stay, so she quickly responded, helped him up, and took him out together with a few wives.

The second master and second wife of the second room looked anxious, but when the father opened his mouth, they couldn't say anything, they could only goug their eyes at today's bride, and from their son's words and deeds, they also knew that there was something wrong with this bride.

Wen Yanping stood very calmly looking at them like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

Uncle Yong Chuan and his wife's eyes were dark, and the two elders couldn't help thinking of a month ago, when Uncle Yong Chuan went to court, he met Liu Liangfu, the eunuch in charge of the emperor's side, in the palace. Chaste and gentle, the emperor is very pleased, and you two elders should also like it." At that time, they didn't understand why Eunuch Liu said such words to him suddenly, they responded politely, and they kept thinking about it when they returned home. , until now, finally understand.

Perhaps the emperor already knew that there was a problem with the identity of the righteous daughter of the Wen family, but Wen Zixiu was a wise military advisor by the emperor's side, and was deeply favored by the emperor. Even if there were any problems, they would not dare to say anything.Even the emperor has spoken out, if they still dare to have any opinions, aren't they clearly confronting the emperor?

Thinking about it this way, the two elders ignored the abnormality of their beloved second grandson, and Mrs. Yong Chuanbo said displeasedly: "The second son's family, Qingming is not in good health today, and he is unavoidable. Go back and ask a doctor to take a look at him." , can’t leave any root cause.”

The second lady was extremely annoyed, and when she heard her mother-in-law's words, she was wronged and sad, and she had to squeeze a grateful smile on her face, and said yes.

How could the people present not see how Yong Chuanbo and his wife protected the bride, and they were all taken aback. Even Xiang's mother, who had already prepared in her heart that if things were exposed, would upset her in-laws, did not expect such a surprise. He immediately looked at Wen Yanping with a very satisfied expression.

Except for Xiang Qingming, everyone in Uncle Yongchuan's mansion greeted the bride with a wink and a very cordial attitude.After chatting for a while, the servants came over and said breakfast was ready, and everyone moved to the flower hall to eat with Uncle Yongchuan and his wife.

Uncle Yong Chuan and his wife sat in the top seats. Mother Xiang and the second wife went over to give them vegetables, and after eating half of them, they let them go down to eat their own. chopsticks, Mother Xiang asked her to sit down and eat with them.

The second lady snorted coldly, feeling that Mother Xiang was putting on airs, and she looked like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of outsiders, but she didn't know how she would make things difficult for her in private.Getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a big problem since ancient times, and the second wife herself is also like this. In front of outsiders, she has a good relationship with her daughter-in-law Song, just like a mother and daughter, but when she returns home, she is a rival in love better than an enemy. the rival of his son.

After breakfast, they chatted for a while, and seeing Mrs. Yongchuan's tired face, everyone left in a sensible manner.Uncle Yong Chuan took his sons to the study by the way, and it is estimated that he will train the sons in private again today.And Xiang's mother proudly took her son and daughter-in-law back to the west courtyard together.

Although she was shocked by the real identity of her daughter-in-law in the morning, after seeing the attitude of her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Xiang's mother began to feel complacent.

Back in the upper room, Mother Xiang said a few words to her son and daughter-in-law in a gentle manner, and then graciously let them go back to Chunhua Courtyard, and she didn't need her daughter-in-law to set rules in front of her.She was self-aware, and she was afraid that she would really let her daughter-in-law set the rules on the first day of her wedding, not to mention that her son would be unhappy, and she might not be easy to mess with this daughter-in-law who is said to be good at martial arts.Although Xiang's mother is not smart, she is better than her husband. She also has self-knowledge and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

After leaving the upper room and returning to his yard, Xiang Qingchun, who had been disciplined all morning, finally stretched out his jade hand to the little girl, took her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

Wen Yanping also retreated from his standard virtuous smile all morning, returned to the bedroom, took the hands on his waist away fiercely, and flung himself onto the big bed in a very disfigured manner.

Marriage is really not good, her waist is sore, her face is stiff with smile, and she has to go against her heart and pretend to be a chaste and virtuous family woman——thinking of living a life like this, I want to suffer Cover your face.

Xiang Qingchun sat by the bed, looked at the person lying on the bed with her limbs sprawled like a dead fish, held back a smile, touched her back, took off the hair ornament on her head, and then Pushing away her long black hair, he lowered himself down and kissed her delicate neck.

"Little brother, you did a good job today, please encourage me."

Following his words, her face was lifted by a slender hand, and a kiss fell.

Wen Yanping responded by punching him directly.
