Chapter 1 Once Entering the Marquis Mansion (1)
In late spring, the mansion of Mr. Yao Yuanzhi, the governor of Liangjiang, is full of flowers and trees, the shadows of the trees are dancing, and the fragrance is floating. It is a thriving scene.

The second girl, Yao Yanyu, and her younger sister, Yao Quehua, came out of the old lady Song's Ningrui Hall one after another, and walked along the corridor in the backyard to the Jingrui Hall where the aunt Wang used to sit on weekdays.

"Sister, I heard that elder sister's body is getting worse day by day." Yao Quehua took Yao Yanyu's hand and whispered.

Yao Yanyu was silent, and sighed softly: "Big sister is a lucky person, she will get better."

Yao Quehua looked back at the girls and women who were following behind, and said nothing more.She heard very clearly in the old lady's room just now. People from the capital said that their eldest sister was dying of illness, and she might not be able to survive this summer.

The big sister that Yao Quehua talked about was Yao Fengge, the eldest daughter of the Yao Mansion.

Three years ago, Yao Fengge married Dinghou's second son as his wife.And Su Yu, the eldest daughter of Dinghou, married the eldest son of Mrs. Jiang Ning Zhidao Wang, who was married to Wang's wife, the governor's wife of Liangjiang.

Such a triangular marriage used to be a sensational happy event. The old lady of Dinghou Mansion, the eldest princess, is the current emperor's aunt.Dinghou Mansion is regarded as a relative of the emperor, with a detached status.Such a triangular relationship not only expanded Dinghou's power, but also made the Wang family and Yao family more stable in the temple.

Now, the eldest daughter-in-law of the weaving mansion in Jiangning has given birth to a daughter for the Wang family, and Yao Yanyu's sister-in-law Yao Fengge not only has nothing to do in the Hou's mansion, but is about to die of illness.

This matter is very important, and may even affect Governor Yao's career, so Yao Yanyu, the second daughter of a concubine, has kept silent on this matter in line with the principle of 'talk as much as you say'.

It is true that I am a soul traveler, and I have lived in this mansion for ten years.Because of this, she, a time-traveling woman, deeply understands the inviolability of social rules.She also knew some of the stories of the time-traveling women who changed their lives against the sky in the previous novels, but it really fell on her head, and she really felt that if that happened, the result would only be early death and early rebirth.

Live in peace, don't ask for too much, just ask for peace until old age.Yao Yanyu was thinking silently, and she had already arrived at the gate of the aunt Wang's courtyard.

It was around Shen time in the afternoon, it was not time for dinner, but it was already past the time for nap.

Ordinarily, the courtyard is relatively lively at this time. The mother-in-law who asks for orders will come in and out at this time, and the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will also sit in front of the mother at this time, or talk about business, or sit and laugh with her.

But today, there was no sound in the yard, and the maids sat peacefully under the eaves, either busy with their needlework, or quietly listening to the orders from inside.

After Yao Yanyu entered the courtyard, several big girls stood up, leaning slightly, and said: "Second Miss, Third Miss."

"Is mother busy?" Yao Yanyu asked in a low voice.

Pearl, the first-class girl next to Wang's, replied in a low voice: "Master is talking to Madam. Miss, wait a moment, servant girl will answer for you?"

Yao Yanyu thought to herself that since she came, there was no reason to leave without replying, so she nodded.

Pearl went in quietly, and came out after a while and bowed slightly to Yao Yanyu and the sisters: "Madam asked the two girls to go in." She raised her hand to open the bamboo curtain, Yao Yanyu smiled slightly and took Yao Quehua's hand Entered the door.

This room is not the main hall, but a side hall where Mrs. Wang usually sits. Facing north and south, there is a row of low couches, with a kang table in the middle, and stone blue flowered cushions, pillows, and pillows on both sides.There are two pairs of grand master chairs in the left and right rows, all of which are covered with half-new stone blue flower cushions, and a small table in the middle is placed with exquisite stone bonsai.The room is full of sandalwood furniture, elegant and noble.

Governor Yao Yuanzhi sat on the main seat, and Mrs. Wang accompanied him on the right side.The two held a cup of tea each, silent.

"Father is well, mother is well." Yao Yanyu and sister Yao Quehua paid their respects together.

"Sit down." Yao Yuanzhi didn't lift his eyelids, but concentrated on sipping tea.

"Thank you father." Sister Yao Yanyu sat down on the last two chairs on the right hand side after they sat down.

Mrs. Wang put the tea cup in her hand aside, looked at Yao Yanyu and asked, "Where are you from?"

Yao Yanyu hurriedly replied, "Come over from the old lady's room."

Wang didn't ask any more questions.Yao Yuanzhi slowly looked up at Yao Yanyu who was sitting on the chair, thoughtfully.

A girl brought two cups of tea and put them on the high table between Yao Yanyu and the sisters, and she backed away silently.Yao Yanyu picked up the tea silently, but just smelled the tea lightly, but didn't drink it.The four people in the room sat quietly, and no one spoke.

After a long while, Mrs. Wang sighed and seemed to be talking to herself: "Your elder sister's illness... I'm afraid it's not good."

Yao Yanyu's heart sank, and she hurriedly persuaded: "Ma'am, don't worry, Eldest Sister is blessed. There is a Tai Hospital in the Hou's Mansion to take care of her, and Eldest Sister will recover from her illness."

Wang looked at Yao Yanyu helplessly, and sighed softly, "You are a sensible child."

Yao Yuanzhi suddenly turned his head and asked Wang, "Sister Yan is sixteen this year, right?"

Wang was startled, glanced at Yao Yuanzhi's face, and nodded: "Yes, after May's birthday, I will be 16 years old."

"En." Yao Yuanzhi didn't say anything more, and fell into deep thought again.

Yao Yanyu didn't know that her life's major events were decided by her shrewd and capable father in this moment of contemplation.

Wang waved at Sister Yao Yanyu: "You two go back first. Come back at dinner."

"Yes." Yao Yanyu and Yao Quehua put down their teacups and stood up, blessing each other, "Daughter resigns."

The bamboo curtain rang softly, and the girl outside opened the curtain, Yao Yanyu took Yao Quehua back a few steps to the door, Fang leaned over and turned out the door, and left with her maid.

Back in her room, Yao Yanyu threw away the fan in her hand, turned around and leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, and picked up a casual book to read.

Not long after, the big girl Cuiwei came in quietly, ordered the two little girls out of the room, knelt beside Yao Yanyu and whispered: "Miss, I just heard from the nurse in the wife's yard that the master intends to let you go Beijing."

Yao Yanyu's eyelids twitched, and she asked in a low voice, "I'm a girl, what are you going to do in the capital?"

Cuiwei lowered her voice: "I'm afraid the eldest lady will not get well this time. Our in-laws with the Hou Mansion cannot be broken..."

"Isn't there still a big cousin?" Yao Yanyu frowned, even if the big sister died, the cousin of the uncle's family would still be the daughter of the Dinghou Mansion.Besides, the Wang family and the Yao family are both in the south of the Yangtze River, and the eldest brother married the niece of the aunt's natal family. The Yao and Wang families watch each other and are unbreakable in-laws.
