The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

The Gu family's cemetery is located in a treasured geomantic land in the south of the capital. It is said that the wife, wife, and great-grandfather made their fortunes near there. After they got rich, they bought a piece of land for the Gu family to build a tomb for.

The Gu family's real conferment of marquis began with the generation of the old Marquis, and after three generations of hereditary, they began to be deposed as marquises. In short, Gu Changqing will be the last Marquis of the Marquis Mansion. If he does not make great contributions, his son will become an earl, his grandson will become a viscount, his great-grandson will become a baron, and when he reaches his great-great-grandson, he will become an ordinary commoner. .

Of course, in Zhaoguo, there are also centuries-old prosperous families like Dingguo Gongfu and Zhuangjia, who have produced a large number of talents and have a stable position.

Yao got up early in the morning, wearing a plain white skirt with cassia twigs around the waist, an apricot-colored pipa lapel jacket, no gold hairpins or silver ornaments, only two white jade hairpins.

The little maid brought the rouge box.

Yao shi waved his hand: "There is no need for makeup."

She was going to visit someone's grave, not to rush through the door.

"Yes." The little maid resentfully withdrew holding the rouge box.

"The sky is gloomy, I'm afraid it's going to snow again." Mother Fang came in from the outside and rubbed her old hands that were frozen stiff, "Madam's body is too thin, please put on the cloak."

"En." Yao Shi nodded, wearing a white satin cloak.

You can't go wrong with this dress.

After all, Mother Fang was afraid that she would freeze to death, so she asked someone to prepare a few more soup pots, and also used hand warmers for her.

When Yao shi came to the gate with a rabbit fur to warm his hands, the three Gu Changqing brothers also came from their respective yards.

Gu Changqing's expression did not change.

The complexions of Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin were not very good-looking.

Gu Chenglin glanced at Yao shi coldly, and hummed: "My aunt is real, why did you let her come? Isn't it good for us to pay homage to our mother?"

Gu Changqing looked at him seriously: "Get in the car."

Gu Chenglin dissatisfied: "I'm not wrong! Mother was killed by her! She still has the face to go to her mother's grave!"

Gu Chenglin thought the same way, but his elder brother was here, he didn't want his younger brother to be punished by his elder brother again.

Gu Chengfeng tugged at his younger brother's sleeve: "Okay, get in the carriage first, it will be late later, in case it is difficult to walk on the snowy road."

"Hmph!" Gu Chenglin glared at Yao Shi in resentment, and got into the carriage angrily.

Gu Chengfeng got into the same carriage with him.

Gu Changqing rode a horse.

Yao Shi and Mother Fang got into another carriage, and there were two other carriages pulling offerings for Xiao Ling Shi.

"Hey, why bother to be wronged?" Mother Fang helped Yao Shi onto the stool with distress.

"It's nothing." Yao said.

She has long been used to hearing these words, and at first she felt sad and wronged, but now she has become numb.

Mrs. Xian did not kill her.

She clears herself up.

After more than an hour, the group arrived at Dongyue Village. The cemetery was in a forest behind the village.

The three of Gu Changqing got out of the carriage.

Yao Shi also got out of the car,

She ordered someone to take down Xiao Ling's sacrifice, and planned to go to the grave to offer a stick of incense to Xiao Ling.

Gu Chenglin blocked her way one step at a time: "I don't allow you to worship my mother! You are not worthy!"

Yao finally understood that Aunt Ling called her here to humiliate her with her stepson.

Yao said calmly: "I promised the old lady that I will offer a stick of incense to the late lady."

"go away!"

Gu Chenglin stretched out his hand to push Yao Shi, Gu Changqing strode over and grabbed his younger brother's wrist: "Do you want to make a fuss in front of your mother's grave?"

Gu Chenglin withdrew his hand angrily.

Yao handed the incense candle and the paper money to Gu Changqing: "Then I won't go there, and I will trouble my son to bring my heart to you."

Gu Changqing took the things she handed over: "Madam, go to the carriage and wait, it's windy outside."

Yao shi gave him a strange look, but he started to care about her. If he really came to his mother's grave, did everyone become obedient?

Yao shi didn't speak, turned around and got into the carriage.

"You shouldn't have let her come!" Gu Chenglin muttered.

"Don't say a few words!" Gu Chengfeng said.

The Hou Mansion hired nearby villagers to guard the Gu family's ancestral graves, and every grave was swept clean.

The three brothers paid homage to the Xiao Ling family, and then to their great-grandfather and great-grandmother, and then they went to the village to visit as usual.

The ancestor of the Gu family was not from Dongyue Village, but he was favored by the local villagers. Thanks to the guards of the villagers over the years, the Gu family's ancestral grave has been well protected.

Yao took the gifts on the carriage and sent them to the villagers one by one.

In previous years, it was Aunt Ling who did this. The villagers thought that Aunt Ling was the real wife of the Gu family. When they saw Mrs. Yao for the first time, they asked her if she was the aunt of the family, which made Fang Nanny angry.

This is Aunt Ling's second trick.

Use the unintentional words of the folks to add trouble to her.

Yao shi wanted to laugh.

Aunt Ling had never been a mother before, so she didn't understand that for a mother, if she could break the curse of her son not living beyond fifteen years and recognize her own flesh and blood, she would have nothing else to ask for in her life.

After visiting the folks, it was getting late, and it was time for them to go home.

Not long after they set foot on the carriage for the return journey, it really snowed in the sky.

They didn't eat at noon, and they were both hungry and cold, so Yao asked the servant girl to deliver a box of snacks to the three brothers.

Gu Chenglin scoffed: "I don't eat what she cooks!"

Gu Changqing frowned complicatedly.

"Brother, the outside is below, you can sit in the carriage." Gu Chengfeng said to Gu Changqing.

Gu Changqing said lightly, "No need."

People who march and fight, how can they care about such a little snowstorm?

"Ma'am, they don't want to eat." The little maid brought back the snacks.

"Forget it then." Yao took the snack box back.

In fact, she didn't make it herself, she didn't have such a good heart, and rushed to make snacks for her stepson, it was brought from the mansion.

She ate two yuan by herself, and she didn't have a good appetite recently, so she didn't eat much, and gave it to Fang Nuo and a few little maids.

The snowy weather slowed down the journey of the carriage, but there was no decent restaurant in the wilderness, and Gu Chenglin didn't like the food in the ordinary tea shed, so the three brothers went all the way to the city hungry.

On the way back to the Marquis Mansion, there is a shop that sells crispy duck. Gu Chenglin usually likes to eat their duck the most. Today, he has been hungry for so long, and he couldn’t bear it anymore. I'm so hungry! Let's go in and have something to eat!"

Gu Changqing looked at the two younger brothers who were really hungry, nodded, and rode to Yao's carriage: "Shall we go home after eating something?"

Yao shi wasn't hungry, but she was indeed exhausted from the day's carriage ride.

The group got out of the carriage and asked for two rooms on the second floor, one for the three brothers and one for the Yao family.

Yao shi didn't eat anything by himself, and ordered a table of meals for Fang Nai and the accompanying servants.

The room was terribly stuffy, and she happened to want to go to the toilet again, so she went to Gong's room in the back room on the first floor.

When she came out to the lobby, a man's voice suddenly stopped her: "Yao'er?"

Yao shi hadn't heard this voice for many years, but still recognized it all at once.

Yao's complexion changed, and he turned around in a daze.

"Yao'er, it's really you!"

A man in a navy blue shirt strode over. He was about thirty years old. He was handsome and handsome. His figure was not as burly as Lord Gu's, but he was also tall.

Yao shi came back to her senses a little bit, but the moment the man approached her, she took a few steps back in self-restraint and courtesy.

The man's expression darkened, and then he said in a sly voice: "I was abrupt, I haven't seen you for so many years, I was excited for a while, and almost forgot the etiquette, please forgive me!"

As he said, he cupped his hands and made a bow.

Yao shirked sideways and did not accept his gift: "Don't do this."

The man looked at Yao Shi with complicated eyes: "Yao'er, how have you been doing these years? I heard that you married into the Ding'an Hou's mansion, how does the Marquis treat you well?"

Yao shi lowered his eyes and said, "I'm fine."

The man smiled with relief: "I'm relieved when you say that."

Then the two of them didn't speak, and the scene was very awkward for a while.

Yao shi pinched the handkerchief and said, "I'm leaving."

"Ah..." Disappointment flashed across the man's eyes, "My mother often asks about you."

Yao's steps stopped.

The man smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I have also gotten married these years and have my own wife and children. I'm sorry."

Yao shi closed her eyes, and said: "Back then, the Yao family was the first to retire. I should say I'm sorry. You don't have to blame yourself."

The man said sadly: "My mother had a stroke a few years ago, and she hasn't recovered very well since then. Recently, she's always been in a daze, chanting your name."

The two families had a long-standing relationship, Yao's marriage with the man was settled very early, the man's mother was very satisfied with Yao's, and every day hoped that this daughter-in-law could get married soon, saying that she would love her as her own daughter.

It's a pity that this marriage was messed up after all.

It's not so much the oppression of Master Gu, as it is the deliberate curry favor of the Yao family.

I have been angry, hated, and annoyed, and now I have calmed down.

"You..." The man scratched his head in embarrassment, "It may be too abrupt to say so, and I really didn't expect to meet you here, but since I did, I still want to ask you... can you go and see See my mother for the last time?"

His mother is about to die, the doctor said it's just a matter of these few days.

But his mother has been refusing to close her eyes.

His mother is suffering, and he is also suffering.

He looked at Yao Shi, hesitated for a moment, and said: "As a son, I didn't give her a day of glory and wealth. I don't want to be able to fulfill even one of her wishes..."

After all, Yao Shi had a marriage contract with him, so it is reasonable to avoid suspicion.

But his mother did treat Yao Shi as her own, she was a very kind woman, Yao Shi can still feel the warmth in her heart when she thinks about it.

If she had married him back then, her life might have been very different from now.

"Where does your family live?" Yao asked.

The man's eyes lit up: "Did you agree?"

Yao shi paused: "Let me think about it, I might not go."

"Ah, no, it's okay, it's okay if you can't go! I live in Qingfeng Street, Qingyue District..." The man reported his address.

Yao Shi did not expect that he would live in such a poor place.

"I'll go first." Yao Shi told him.

"Hey! You, you go slowly!" The man watched Yao Shi excitedly.

Yao entered the lobby and went upstairs.

Over there, the three brothers of the Gu family finished eating, and a group of them got into the carriage and went home.

Mrs. Yao first went to Mrs. Gu's side to recover her life. Hearing that nothing went wrong along the way, Mrs. Gu was very relieved.

Lord Gu asked Huang Zhong to go back to the mansion to send a message to the Yao family. There was a conflict between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. Lord Gu Hou is currently dealing with urgent matters in the Ministry of Industry. He may not be able to come back tonight. Let Madam rest first, so there is no need wait for him.

Yao shi was restless in the room.

As long as she closes her eyes, she can think of Zhen Shi, her former future mother-in-law.

"Mother Fang."

"Ma'am, what's the matter?" Mother Fang opened the curtain and came in.

Yao shi put on a coat: "Get ready for the carriage, I'll go out for a while."

"It's so late, where is Madam going? The eldest lady and the young master should also rest now." Mother Fang thought that Mrs. Yao was going to Bishui Hutong.

Yao shi said: "Don't ask so many questions, find a driver with a tight tongue."

Mother Fang opened her mouth: "...ah."

Yao came to Zhen's house in a carriage.

She knocked on the painted courtyard door.

"Who—"

It was a woman's voice.

Yao shi didn't speak.

The courtyard door opened with a creak, and a plainly dressed woman who described premature aging came out. The woman was as old as Yao Shi, but looked older than Yao Shi by more than ten years.

Yao shi guessed her identity, opened his mouth, and was about to say who he was, when the woman turned her head and said to the room: "Master, a guest is here!"

Zhen Ping walked out quickly.

Seeing Mrs. Yao, he was startled at first, and then stepped forward happily: "It's cold outside, hurry up and warm up inside!" Then he said to his wife, "It's Mrs. Hou."

The woman bowed to Yao Shi.

Yao shi nodded slightly.

Obviously, the woman had heard of Yao shi long ago, she wisely took the half-washed clothes from the front yard to the back yard, and never appeared in front of Yao shi again.
