Concubine like a house

Chapter 152: Zhong Ming Ding cannibalism (2)
"Suicide?" Mrs. Tai asked with a sneer, closing her eyes slightly to express her disbelief, "If you were raped and committed suicide, I would believe it; if Yun Xiangrong committed suicide, I wouldn't believe it. She will never be so ashamed and angry that she commits suicide...she must be acting to win Shen Yu's sympathy!"

Mrs. Tai judged Yun Xiangrong like this, Chuxiu was noncommittal.

Seeing that she didn't make a statement, Mrs. Tai continued: "You didn't refute this time, so it shows that you believed my words. Since you know what Yun Xiangrong is thinking, why don't you hurry up and urge Shen Yu to reconcile? Do you want her to get her way? ?”

But Chuxiu hesitated: "Even if she used tricks to win sympathy, I can understand. Any woman would worry about being rejected by her husband, not to mention that she even gave birth to a child... After all, It was Shen Yu and I who felt sorry for her first... I thought about it, let Shen Yu handle this matter, I believe him." At the end of the sentence, Chuxiu's voice became lower and lower.

"Do you think Shen Yu cares about women's chastity? If he really cared, he wouldn't have been infatuated with you for so many years." Mrs. Tai hated iron for steel, and said urgently to Chuxiu, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, please do Beware of Yun Xiangrong's desperate counterattack, eating Shen Yu to the bone!"

"I believe him." Chuxiu replied firmly, "I will ask the third master to bring him a message some other day, thank you for reminding me."

"I hope there will be no further incidents." Mrs. Tai was a little tired, and waved her hands at Chuxiu, "You just returned to the mansion today, and you talked about it again, go back and rest first."

Chuxiu bowed and saluted: "Yes." She said and walked out the door.However, the moment he opened the door, Chuxiu had a flash of light in his mind, and suddenly thought of an excellent idea that could resolve the gap between Mrs. Tai and Yun Xian.

Although this idea only passed by in a flash, Chuxiu was extremely excited, and hurriedly turned to look at Mrs. Tai: "Mother! It's better to let the third master separate the family."

"Separation?" Mrs. Tai was startled by the idea of ​​going out of Xiuxiu, and she carefully considered, "The Yun family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there is no such thing as a separation of the family."

"One moment and another moment. The Yun family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and there is no such thing as a stepchild. Isn't it an exception now?" Chuxiu quickly replied, "Since you are worried about the third master taking power, why not give him the property and let him Going out of the house alone. He is now far away in Jingzhou, and it is no different from a separated family."

"Is this the meaning of the third child?" Mrs. Tai asked with her eyes narrowed.

"No, it was an idea that came to my mind just now." Chuxiu explained again, "Separating the family has its benefits. After the family is separated, he has no reason to intervene in the business under Cheng'er's name, and you don't have to worry about him seizing power. Keep some distance from him, maybe you will get closer. And once the family is separated, the third master will leave the mansion completely, and Luanqing's identity will be preserved, and no one will pursue who she used to be. The most important thing is..."

"The most important thing is that once the third child separates, I have no reason not to recognize Luanqing." Mrs. Tai said what Chuxiu wanted to say most, and smiled helplessly, "You will make plans , It’s all calculated on my head.”

"I don't have the guts!" Chuxiu said sincerely and fearfully, "I just... want to see harmony in the house, and also want to put an end to your worries. What's more... Luanqing really won't live long..."

When it was mentioned again that Luanqing's life was coming to an end, Mrs. Tai's expression seemed to be shaken.She murmured the word "separation" again and again, and did not express her opinion for a long time.

The separation of the family is a big matter, and Chuxiu does not expect Mrs. Tai to agree, not to mention that she herself is only a preliminary idea and has no finalized plan.She thought for a while, afraid that talking too much would backfire, so she said: "I just had a sudden idea, and I think this method is good... As for how and when to divide the family, I don't have an idea in my mind, but it's just a matter of time." Just mention it."

She paid attention to Mrs. Tai's expression while she was talking, and saw that the other party was still in deep thought, so she took a step back and said, "You must be tired from talking too much today. I'll take my leave first. It's better to think of another day." I will report back to you again.”

After finishing speaking, Chuxiu held the notebook and saluted Mrs. Tai.She took two steps back, turned around and walked outside the door. This time, as soon as she reached the door, she heard Mrs. Tai's deep words behind her: "This time Cheng'er is getting married, let them come back first. As uncles, It's not appropriate not to come back."

This is a relief!Chuxiu was overjoyed, and quickly turned around with a smile: "I'm going to write books for the third master and tell him the good news!"

"I asked him to come back and contribute to Cheng'er's marriage, but I didn't promise anything else." Mrs. Tai forced herself to be stubborn, putting on airs and pretending to be indifferent.

"I can save it." Chuxiu didn't point it out.

"Well, what's more, during the time you went to Jingzhou, Doctor Qu sent a letter saying that his adopted daughter, Yue Wan, was of marriageable age and asked us to find her a husband's house. I didn't care about the servant girl, so I asked Yue Wan to come back to serve you, and after two years of training, I will marry you in the name of the maidservant Zhiyanxuan."

Yue Wan is back!Chuxiu was overjoyed.Five years ago, Yue Wan left Yun Mansion because she betrayed Yun Xiangrong in private, and also betrayed Yun Qi and Zhuo Yan.But now that Yun Qi is dead, and Yun Xiangrong is also married to Jingzhou, there is only a dispensable second concubine left, so naturally he has no worries anymore.What's more, Yue Wan has been away for five years, and many old things in the Yun Mansion have long since disappeared, annihilated in the long river of time.

Letting Yuewan come back to take over Danxin, Mrs. Tai's thoughtfulness can't be said to be indifferent.Seeing the uncomfortable expression on her old man's face, she didn't say much pretentious words, just thanked her, and walked away with a smile.

Leaving Xiu returned to Yanlan City from Jingzhou at the end of July, and Yun Cheng's marriage was scheduled for the winter of this year.Yanlan City is warm and humid in four seasons. After winter, there is little rain and the climate is suitable.

Furthermore, the twelfth lunar month after the winter month will not delay the guests' return to celebrate the new year; Yun Cheng can also logically inherit the title of Marquis of Lixin after the first month of the following year.

Once the month is set, the day should be set, good days and auspicious days are counted and counted, and finally Mrs. Tai personally decides to set it on the seventh day of the winter month, saying, "If you take the seventh day, you will marry a wife."

After the date was finalized, Zuo Xiangfu had no objection.From then on, the whole Yunfu fell into an extremely busy situation, and everyone bothered to arrange for the marriage of the eldest son Yuncheng.By the beginning of September, everything will be ready:

All the guests and clansmen who should be invited have drawn up a list, and according to the rules of Yunci's big wedding, the banquet will be held in three days.

The weaving workshop "Yunjinzhuang" under the name of Yun rushed to work day and night to make the bridegroom's wedding dress. The exquisite materials, gorgeous style, and attention to detail are even better than Yunci's big wedding. No one can compare.

The "Jiyun Hall" where Yun Cheng lives alone has also been redecorated, and [-] more people have been added, including maids and servants, to serve the new wife of the prince.

Fangfei Garden, Jing Garden, Yinxiang Zuiyue Garden and several guest gardens have all been renovated to prepare for banquets and welcoming guests.

In addition, all the wine and food utensils, tables, chairs and mattresses in Yunfu were replaced with new ones.

The maids and servants each issued an extra year of monthly rules, and each made six new sets of clothes for Yun Cheng to wear when he was married...

After a lot of busy work, the preparations for the wedding ceremony have generally come to an end. Counting the days, it is time for the various families in Jingzhou City to set off.Naturally, Shen Yu, Yun Xiangrong, Yun Xian and Luanqing should also leave.

Thinking of seeing Shen Yu again soon, Chuxiu couldn't express how he felt.Is it looking forward to?perturbed?Embarrassed?resist?Or all flavors?She was immersed in the entanglement of reuniting with Shen Yu, but at this moment, an earth-shattering event happened——

On October [-], Chen Lang, Emperor Xuan'aiyi of the North, formally surrendered, and the North and South were unified peacefully.Emperor Tianshou changed his country name to "Ling", called "Dadi Tianshou", and changed his name to "Da Ling Tianshou"; Emperor Aiyi, who was canonized and surrendered, was named "King Jingyi", and shared Fangzhou with food; Shen Yu, Marquis of Weiyuan, went to Beixuan to preside over the surrender ceremony, welcoming King Jingyi and his family to move to Nanxi.

This decree was promulgated without warning, which shocked the people of the world.Although Beixuan had intended to surrender last autumn, some details of the peace talks have not been discussed.Unexpectedly, the Tianshou Emperor unknowingly handled it properly, and issued an imperial decree without telling Nanxi's officials, even Zuo Xiang Zhuangqin was surprised.

However, although this decree was made suddenly, it was also in line with the style of the emperor granted by heaven - only if the decree was made suddenly, the news would not leak, and those with bad intentions would take the opportunity to sabotage or speculate.

Moreover, the back road arranged by Emperor Tianshou for Emperor Aiyi of Beixuan is also quite meaningful: the decree says that "food and cities share Fangzhou", that is to say, Emperor Aiyi will settle in Fangzhou, and his salary will be the same as that of King Cheng Nie Peixiao.This sounds like kindness, but if you think about it carefully, it might not be that Emperor Aiyi and King Cheng restrain and monitor each other.

In particular, there is a Lixinhou Mansion in the local area.As a result, a three-legged rivalry has formed in Yanlan City: the Yun clan, King Cheng, and the newly surrendered King Jingyi, each of whose status should not be underestimated.

When this news came, it also disrupted the plan to go out of Xiu.Emperor Tianshou appointed Nie Peixiao and Shen Yu to go to Beixuan to preside over the surrender ceremony, so these two people will definitely not be able to participate in Yun Cheng's wedding ceremony; what's more, there are several important officials who went with them this time, and they were originally listed in the banquet. within the list.

Mrs. Tai decided to arrange the marriage according to the original plan: "It's not a big problem just because of the lack of a few important officials from the north and the south. Besides, they will definitely send other people to the banquet, so the impact will not be great."

Having said that, Shen Yu is destined to be absent.Chuxiu said in a spirited way: "Maybe I was worrying too much... I always feel that Emperor Tianshou seems to have deliberately chosen this time."

"Who said it wasn't?" Mrs. Tai sneered, "Don't tell me he didn't know that Cheng'er was married to Dongyue? However, I guess his plan was to take over Beixuan at the end of the year. It's just that he was so unkind that he didn't inform us in advance. With one sound, two things collided in a daze!"

"I don't understand, what's the benefit of Tianshoudi's move? Is it to give us a blow?" Chuxiu asked puzzled.

"For him, there are many benefits." Mrs. Tai did not tell them all, and sneered again, "The more he is like this, the more Cheng'er's marriage will go on as scheduled, and he can't be underestimated! Teach him to see too My Yun Mansion has been famous for hundreds of years, who would dare not come to the banquet!"

I see!It's clear from Xiuxiu that Emperor Tianshou wanted to hint to the great families in the north and south that he and the Yun family were both enemies and friends, close relatives and distant relatives, and also wanted to take the opportunity to see who was close to the Yun family!

"What a deep thought!" Chuxiu couldn't help sighing, thought for a while, and then said, "The Emperor Tianshou is really not a magnanimous person, this is not what Mingjun did."

"Whether it is vengeance or magnanimity, he has unified the north and the south, and his name has gone down in history." Mrs. Tai looked out of the window and smiled mockingly, "When the surrender ceremony is over, just wait and see, the first month of next year must be celebrated by the whole world, everyone Praise the god-given emperor's meritorious deeds, wisdom and martial arts."

Chuxiu also smiled and didn't continue the conversation.

Mrs. Tai saw her look sleepy, and turned to sneer: "Look at your talent, if Shen Yu doesn't come, you won't be able to lift your spirits?"

"No, it's not." Chuxiu lowered his eyes and replied awkwardly, "I was thinking, Shen Yu is going to Beixuan, so Xiangrong..."

"Yun Xiangrong will naturally come again." Mrs. Tai showed a somewhat unpredictable smile, "Actually, this is a good thing. With Shen Yu here, Yun Xiangrong will definitely cause more trouble; if Shen Yu is not here, the Lord will see." No, she will stop instead."

Mrs. Tai paused, and her smile became more veiled: "In my opinion, she won't even think about leaving when she comes back this time, and she will be detained in Yun Mansion once and for all. Shen Yu doesn't have to come back from Beixuan again. After Cheng'er gets married, you Go directly to Beixuan to find him, and I will arrange a place for you to keep Tianshou Emperor digging three feet and you can't find it!"

"Mother!" Chuxiu was shocked by Mrs. Tai's dexterity and found it hard to accept, "This...was too hasty. Not only will there be no explanation for Xiangrong, but it will definitely implicate you and Yunfu."

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Mrs. Tai scolded Chuxiu lightly, "You are such an elm lump, I will naturally arrange for Shen Yu to be 'assassinated' in Beixuan, and you are also 'suddenly ill'. Wouldn’t it be enough to change to a new identity? Don’t you still want to leave him openly?”

Chuxiu opened his mouth, wanting to say that he didn't want to change his name, but felt that it was too hypocritical, so he didn't say it.

Only Mrs. Tai snorted softly, and said: "As for Yun Xiangrong, it is easy to deal with. If she is willing to live with that wild species for the rest of her life, the Yun residence will not lack her a meal; if she is willing to remarry, I will not." Plan to give an extra dowry, and she can do whatever she likes with that bastard."

At this point, Mrs. Tai's face darkened, and she did not hide her disgust and calculations towards Yun Xiangrong: "Perhaps after Shen Yu's 'assassination', she can't wait to find her adulterer. I want to see, she Is she forced to lose her virginity, or is she committing adultery!"

Three days after Mrs. Tai said this, Yun Xian, his wife, Yun Xiangrong, mother and daughter arrived in Yanlan City, and the housekeeper Yun Feng took them back to the mansion.Yun Xian and his wife were easy and simple, but Yun Xiangrong brought his daughter and a group of nannies, maids, etc., when he entered the city, he was considered "majestic".

Returning to Yun Mansion after a long absence, several people were deeply moved.Based on the etiquette, Yun Cheng personally greeted him in front of the mansion, and then led a few people to Rongjin Hall to meet Mrs. Tai, and then took them to Zhiyanxuan.

Both Yun Xian and his wife were in high spirits, and they could see that they were very happy to return home; Yun Xiangrong's face was indifferent, and he only said a few words to the visitor before returning to the "Nishang Pavilion" on the grounds of taking care of his daughter.

Due to the childbirth, Yun Xiangrong became much plumper. Not only did she not show signs of aging, but she also gained a little more charm, but her complexion was slightly pale, and it seemed that she was not less worried about her daughter.

Counting the days, this child has been around for more than a hundred days, and now he only has a baby name called "Min'er", which Naiyun thought of - this is all the information that Chuxiu has learned.

Yun Xiangrong left, and Yun Xian immediately sighed to Chuxiu: "Originally, the Marquis of Weiyuan asked us to come back first with Xiangrong, saying that he was going to ask the Emperor Tianshou for a few days' leave. Who knew that the leave would not work, but at this juncture, we were arranged Errand."

Chuxiu just laughed it off when he heard the words, and mentioned the separation of the family to Yun Xian, who also agreed with this idea.Afterwards, the guests and clansmen who were invited to the banquet also arrived in Yanlan City one after another, and the whole Yun Mansion began to be busy welcoming the guests again, so no one paid any attention to the second family, grandparents and three generations.

In fact, Shen Yu's absence, in a sense, took Yun Xiangrong's face into account.Just imagine if Shen Yu went back to the mansion with her and was indifferent to the child, it would definitely cause people to doubt the degree of love between their husband and wife; it happened that the emperor sent Shen Yu out at this time, and it happened that there was no reason for outsiders to talk about it. .

And the happiest one was the second concubine, Hua Wuying, who lost her composure by crying and laughing when she saw her daughter and granddaughter.Afterwards, he happily ran around the mansion with his granddaughter in his arms, and said to everyone: "Min'er is so good-looking! Look at the eyebrows and eyes, which are exactly the same as my uncle; the shape of the face is like Xiangrong, she is really a beauty. What are the good points of her parents!"

Every time Hua Wuying confuses that Yun Xiangrong's daughter looks like Shen Yu, she can't laugh or cry when she comes out of Xiuxiu.Not only her, but everyone who knew the inside story was helpless, even Yun Xiangrong was embarrassed.

Up to now, this humble second aunt of Yunfu still doesn't know that her granddaughter is not Shen Yu's own flesh and blood, let alone Yun Xiangrong's loss of virginity.She also took it for granted that her daughter and uncle were finally in harmony!

Yun Mansion hadn't been this lively for a long time, and everyone felt uncomfortable for a while.Perhaps because of the large number of people, the time seemed to pass very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of Yun Cheng's wedding...
