Rather be a concubine

Chapter 69
Bo Qingyuan is in the army at the moment, so naturally he will not show up easily because of Bo Rao's return to the mansion. After all, even if he is the son of a nobleman, ignoring military regulations is still a felony. Right now, Emperor Chongwen will be on the throne for three years. Naturally, family members need to be careful. If one is not good, they will give way to those poor families. If this is the case, where will the ancestors' foundation be placed?

Therefore, Bo Qingyuan naturally had to be careful in everything, not to be caught by others.So even if he didn't go back to the mansion today, with the old lady holding the big Buddha in front of him, others would not dare to say no.

The person standing behind Bo Qingcheng right now can't be called a young man, but he is just a child. He is about eight or nine years old now, and he is very similar to the third wife, Anzheng. This is the son of Sanfang, Bo Qingshu.Bo Qingshu is not very old, but he hangs out with Bo Qingcheng every day, and he is also slack in his homework, so he is not a promising person.

Bo Yuqiao didn't pay much attention to the men in the house at the moment. From her point of view, among the three men in the house, the most successful one is Bo Qingyuan, who is a big house, even if he is not going to take the imperial examination Lu Zi, accumulating military exploits is also a young and promising man, and the remaining two and three housekeepers, Bo Qingcheng and Bo Qingshu, are all adou who can't stand on the stage. Apart from being sheltered by their ancestors, they are useless to think about.

At this moment, the old lady was sitting in the main seat, her lips were slightly pursed, and there was a rare smile on her well-maintained face. Her phoenix eyes, which were always sharp, were slightly bent, although the smile was not obvious at the moment, But it is enough for everyone in the hall to speculate on her old man's thoughts.

It seems that this Aunt Bo Rao is really the one who wins the old lady's heart, and she must not be neglected.Because of the happy appearance of the old lady, the people in the hall have different thoughts at the moment, but if so, everyone's faces are full of joy, and they dare not disobey the old lady's wishes face to face.

After a while, I heard a somewhat hoarse voice from outside, presumably it was the woman from Shouwu Courtyard.

"Grandma is back home!"

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao's body trembled, her eyes turned to the delicately carved wooden door, she really wanted to see what kind of appearance this Bo Rao, who was so popular with the old lady, really looked like.

Not long after, there were two light footsteps from outside the carved wooden door, and then a woman with a clear face walked in, holding a boy doll who was not very old in her left hand, probably five or six years old. The appearance of the carved jade, at first glance, it seems that he has been cared for carefully, presumably this is Bo Rao's only son Zhen Ling.

Bo Rao is only in her twenties now, she is at an excellent age for a woman, I saw her fine Hetian white jade hairpin above her black hair rolled up, revealing her slender neck, and the jadeite bells between her ears glistening in the sunlight. Powder, looks extremely warm.She was wearing a light silver and soft lily dress, and the jadeite bracelet on her wrist was of excellent quality, presumably it was also a rare item.

From Bo Yuqiao's point of view, this Bo Rao's appearance is not so exquisite, but the whole body's demeanor makes people unable to take their eyes off it.The tranquility that comes out of the bones is like a mountain spring, which makes people feel a burst of joy.

Bo Rao's phoenix eyes turned slightly, revealing the dignity of a lady, making people feel ashamed.

"You are finally willing to come back!"

The person who opened the mouth was the old lady. I saw that the old lady who was still happy before changed into a mean face in an instant, and her palm fell hard on the rosewood eight immortals table. They were all startled, and they all kept silent, not daring to speak.

Seeing the old lady's appearance, Bo Rao seemed to have expected it a long time ago, but a slightly helpless smile appeared on her face. She walked forward slowly, knelt down directly towards the old lady, ignoring the passing of the old lady's eyes. Feeling distressed, after three kowtows, he opened his mouth.

"My daughter is unfilial, and my mother is worried!"

Bo Rao's behavior made the old lady look like a mother, how could she have the heart to punish her?Dang even got up from the Eight Immortals chair, and personally helped Bo Rao who was kneeling on the ground to get up.The old lady usually has a serious appearance, but at this moment her eyes are red, which makes people sigh.

"Oh, that's all, just come back, just come back!"

The old lady raised her hand and held Bo Rao's jade hand tightly, and it took a while to regain her composure.In a blink of an eye, she saw the little boy who was following Bo Rao, and a kind smile appeared on her slightly aged face.

"This is Brother Ling! He is seven years old now, he is really a good brother, come and sit next to grandma."

Probably because of the love of the house and Wu, the old lady's attitude towards Zhen Ling seemed to be closer than the grandson of her first relative, which really opened the eyes of everyone in the hall.

Seeing the old lady's actions, Feng's on the side lowered his brows and eyes, and a look of surprise flashed across his face, but it was fleeting.At this moment, Feng Shi was very angry, her usually dignified and beautiful face was also showing a trace of paleness, and there were spots of black and blue under the eye sockets, presumably it was caused by some restlessness recently.

Seeing this, Bo Yuqiao felt a wave of doubts. It is said that a hypocritical woman like Feng Ning, no matter how much she hates Bo Rao in her heart, will not show mistakes on her face. The current appearance really makes people have to Think about it.

Even so, Bo Yuqiao's complexion did not change at all. After all, her status was low, and if she showed something wrong and made Feng Ning aware of it, her life would be even more difficult in the future.Although Bo Yuqiao wasn't extremely smart, she wouldn't do such a self-defeating act.

After welcoming Bo Rao and his son Zhen Ling, the Bo residence returned to its usual tranquility.Because Bo Rao's husband-in-law, Zhen Mi, is the sheriff of Taiyuan County, he can't leave the place under his jurisdiction without authorization. Right now, the only guests in Bo Rao's residence are Bo Rao's mother and son who have returned to their mother's house to visit their relatives.

In the evening, after Bo Zheng went to court, the whole family had to rush to the old lady's Shouwu Courtyard to have a family banquet together.Thinking of the family banquet, Bao Yuqiao felt a sense of sarcasm, but she still asked the servant girl Yucui to tidy up carefully, not to be rude and let others find out what was wrong, and then rushed towards the dining hall.

Arriving at the dining hall, the old lady hadn't come here yet, the first thing Bo Yuqiao saw was the eldest lady Cheng Shi with a gentle smile on her lips.Cheng Shi is only in her thirties now, but her attire is indeed very clean, which is very compatible with her status as a widow.

As soon as Cheng saw Bo Yuqiao, her phoenix eyes brightened slightly, a smile appeared on her face, and she said softly.

"Sister Qiao, come to Auntie quickly."

Bo Yuqiao was very grateful for Cheng's helping hand that day, so she was very happy at that moment, and walked slowly to Cheng's side.Bo Yuqiao blessed Cheng's body respectfully, and then said.

"Qiaoer greets Auntie."

Seeing Bo Yuqiao's well-behaved appearance, the smile on Cheng's face grew stronger, and he grabbed Bao Yuqiao's little hand and said with a smile.

"Sister Qiao is so well-behaved, how wonderful would it be if it were Auntie's daughter? How about Auntie begging your Auntie to give you up to me, so that I can accompany Auntie in Xingjianju as a companion."

Hearing this, Bo Yuqiao was a little stunned, and then she couldn't help shaking her head, that cute look made Cheng Shi laugh.

"Oh, sister Qiao, don't be scared, Auntie is just joking."

As Cheng said, a trace of loneliness appeared on her pretty face. From Bo Yuqiao's point of view, it must be Bo Qingyuan who missed him in the army.But even if Bo Yuqiao guessed what Cheng was thinking, she couldn't comfort her. After all, no one can stop Cheng's motherly heart.

At this moment, Mrs. Ning Yanyan walked into the dining room gracefully, wearing a crimson dress, it is not an exaggeration to call it glamorous.Seeing Bo Yuqiao beside Cheng's, Ning Yan smiled meaningfully at the corners of her bright red lips, without saying a word, she silently picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing Ning Yan's eyes, Cheng couldn't help shaking her head secretly. She felt that Ning Yan's behavior after giving birth to Bo Yuyan was really a bit flamboyant. If so, she might touch Feng Ning's bottom line soon!After all, with her appearance, I am afraid that any mistress will be jealous.

By the time Bo Rao helped the old lady into the dining hall, the whole family of Bo's residence had already gathered, the men's table was on the left, and the women's table was on the right, there was a clear distinction.

Bo Rao and Bo Zheng sat on the two sides of the old lady respectively. Bo Rao was also very careful, once served the old lady with dishes for dinner, and the dishes she chose were all the old lady's favorites. I am very happy.

Seeing Bo Rao doing this, Bo Zheng narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, with some unknown meaning in it, put down the ivory and silver chopsticks, and didn't say a word.Feng Ning, who was on the opposite side, saw Bo Zheng like this, hated him extremely, and clenched his silver teeth tightly, but he couldn't show anything wrong. Unbearable pain.

After dinner, Bo Rao was arranged by the old lady to live in Ningcui Pavilion, where she lived when she was not married, while her son Zhen Ling lived in Jinglue Residence, where he studied and practiced calligraphy with the male next to him.

The night road was difficult to walk, and Bo Rao's walking steps were a bit slow. After a while, he heard a little impatient footsteps from behind. Those steps were not as light as a woman's, which showed the identity of the person who came.

The two servant girls who followed Bo Rao were Dong Lian and Xia Yu. They were both in their early twenties, and they were also the children of the family who followed Bo Rao's side. Character.Bo Rao didn't shy away from Dong Lian Xia's words, Dang even said with a smile.

"Since you're here, why don't you say anything? Could it be that you don't like me? We haven't seen each other for seven or eight years. Is it possible that you don't want to have a laugh with Rao'er?"

Bo Rao's slightly coquettish words, if others listen to them, I'm afraid they will feel a little weird, after all, there is a coquettish meaning in them, as if whispering to her husband, it is really very intimate.But the people of Bofu are very clear at this moment, Bo Rao's husband, Zhen Mi, is still alive in Taiyuan County, so who is following behind at this moment?
