reborn girl

Chapter 83

The head of Xinyue County, who has been married out for many years, returns to Beijing as a widow and lives in her natal family's Xichanghou Mansion.This is the hottest topic in Kyoto these months.Because Princess Changhua, the wife of Marquis of Xichang, was frequently active in the upper-class social circles of Kyoto with Wen Xinyue. In just a few months, she actually entered the palace no less than three times, not to mention the people she made friends with, her relatives and friends, Anyone who knows anything about flowers will definitely see the figures of their mother and daughter, they are extremely active.

Originally a warm and widowed person, she should have been filial to her husband for at least one year, but I don't know what Princess Changhua told the queen, but word spread in the palace that even if she married into Nanyi, she would follow the rules of Nanyi That's it.

Nanyi rules?
Ha ha!

Nanyi's rules, that is - there are no rules.If a Nanyi woman is a widow, three months of filial piety is a long time. It is really common for a husband to remarry after death.Princess Changhua entered the palace a few times, and then such news came out, and she had to sigh with emotion: a loving mother!
Since the word spread, Xin Xinyue also changed her plain clothes and dressed up in bright colors, and she appeared frequently in the flower fair, even a fool knew what the Xichang Hou Mansion was planning.

In this way, some of the wives who calculated the age of their sons in their hearts felt a little uneasy.But looking at the few families that Princess Changhua recently expressed her closeness to, the rest of the wives breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to secretly chant Amitabha Buddha, not mentioning it for the time being.

For this reason, several wives claimed to be absent from the flower fair among wives. There was a tacit understanding. There were various reasons, including headaches and stomach aches. The most jaw-dropping one was the wife of a second-rank official. The man was actually a middle-aged man, and he shouted at a large group of people who were staring and speechless for a long time, turned their heads and curled their lips secretly, and said: "Old clam pregnant with pearls!"But envy and jealousy are intertwined and intertwined, and it is difficult to distinguish clearly.

The reaction this time is not because the wives of the families have any prejudice against the Marquis of Xichang, but in fact, Princess Changhua's requirements for choosing a husband are too... Ha ha!Who doesn't love young talents, but you always look at the sons of the elders, and you don't even look down on the lesser ones. How can this be possible?Those are the pillars of the family, the most promising one, and the woman she marries has to take on the responsibility of the clan wife, and it's not like you can't marry a fresh and tender daughter-in-law, so why bother?
Everyone's children are their own treasures, and mothers are not willing to wrong their own children.This Xinyue county lord, to put it bluntly, it’s fine if you’ve been married before. If you have something in you, you’re charismatic, and you can make the wives of rich families look at you differently, and feel that the merits are enough to make up for your own shortcomings. Okay!
This—cough cough, is there any?

Ok!Looking at the looks of those ladies hiding their sleeves, I'm afraid there are none!

Therefore, Princess Changhua, who was distracted by various distractions every time she brought up a topic, was very angry.It was so hard to endure until he returned home, got out of the carriage, with angry eyes, impatiently checking whether his daughter-in-law Quan Shi was following behind, he just walked and rushed back to the hall, and sat down in the chair suddenly, angrily He slapped the table angrily and said angrily:

"Too deceiving!"

There was a crisp cracking sound, which shocked Master Wen who was sitting quietly drinking tea, his throat choked, and he coughed non-stop.Standing on the side, Wen Yunhao, who was originally exchanging feelings with his father, hurriedly took a step forward, patted Lord Wen on the back, giving him comfort, while still not forgetting to take a few glances outside the door from the corner of his eye, saying that his daughter-in-law My son went out to socialize with his old lady, why did he disappear when he came back.

Glancing sideways at Princess Changhua's face flushed with anger, Wen Yunhao swallowed the question wisely, seeing his mother's appearance, it's better not to add fuel to the flames!Left and right is at most leaving his wife behind.He lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned his head and cast a look at the young man beside him, telling her daughter-in-law to go back to the house directly, even if this kind of fire-breathing moment appeared, it was only used as a punching bag, he couldn't bear it.

Seeing that the servant understands and retreats, Wen Yunhao puts his mind down and looks back at Princess Changhua still losing his temper, all he complained about.

"...They think that there is nothing special about themselves, they are no more than third-rank or fourth-rank officials at most, and they dare to pick and choose Yue'er, but they look down on my daughter. They are worthy, hmph! If it wasn't for Yue'er Married to——, with their family background, I can't look down on them, and I don't look down on my own virtues, and I'm not worthy of carrying shoes for my family's Yueer!"

The corners of Wen Yunhao's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he stretched out his fingers to poke Lord Wen Hou secretly on the back, signaling him to quickly put down the fire on his wife. If these words spread, wouldn't it be a naked provocation?The hatred value is not good enough to pull it into his arms so desperately!

Marquis Wen, who was pushed out by his son, glared at Wen Yunhao fiercely, but when he turned his head to look at Princess Changhua, he put on a smiling face, curled the corners of his lips, and persuaded kindly:
"Princess calm down. Since you don't like their family, why bother about it? Yue'er will come back around. The time will be long, and I will take care of her slowly. If there is a suitable one, it will not be too late. Call Yueer first." It's good to be close to us, princess, don't worry."

To be honest, Marquis Wen felt that it was unnecessary for Princess Changhua to jump up and down like this during this period of time.Anyway, Yue'er is also a new widow, even if she is lucky enough to return to Great Xia thanks to the mercy of the Holy Lord, she is not willing to stop and rush to find her next family at this moment, just because of her reputation, she can't justify it!Who would want to marry such a daughter-in-law from someone who is a little bit more particular, but they don't mention it on the face, and they don't know how to mutter it behind their backs!If Yue'er talks about others, can she get it?
Marquis Wen shook his head, but he couldn't say that to Princess Changhua, otherwise, the princess would be pissed off, and maybe he would have a face full of flowers...Princess Changhua He never dared to underestimate his combat effectiveness.

"What you said is easy. Yue'er has been in Nanyi for six years, and now she is not young, how can she procrastinate?" The evil fire in her heart surged up, and the disgust in the eyes of the women kept lingering in her mind. Swaying, Princess Changhua was so angry that she was dying. At this moment, Lord Wen said with a gentle smile on his face, not only did not let the princess calm down, but the depression in his heart became more and more intense. She was running outside for her daughter, but Lord Wen was leisurely. It's really disgusting to say sarcastic remarks on the side.

Well, this is getting into the dead end again, Master Wen waved his hand, apologizing, and said:

"The princess misunderstood, I..."

A bad breath surged into her forehead, Princess Changhua turned her finger on Lord Wen Hou, interrupted him, raised her eyebrows and stared, and scolded sharply:
"You just watch the fun, right! Yue'er is not your daughter, so you don't know how to feel sorry for you, do you?" Princess Changhua beat her chest, her face changed, and she said sadly: "My daughter has been delayed once. Naturally, I have to go all out to pick a good one for Yue'er, so that she can enjoy the blessings. But you know, during this period of time, people who are walking outside, if they look at the people who are still compatible, they will hear me showing a little thought. I hurriedly avoided the idea of ​​getting married, either to say that my children are already engaged, or they are optimistic about the marriage." As he said that, he sneered at the Marquis Wen who was smiling wryly, and said, "Hmph, they But I forgot, in the past when Yue'er and Ji were licking their faces and begging for their illegitimate sons to marry, now they are turning their faces and refusing to recognize anyone. If it wasn't for a few accidents, where would my precious daughters get their turn? I really don't know how to flatter."

Princess Changhua really hated those snobbish women. Isn't her family Yue'er remarried?It's not like there was no such thing before, it's really short-sighted, and it's annoying.All of them seem to be hiding from the plague. How many daughters-in-law they marry in their family are comparable to Yue'er. If it wasn't for the king of Nanyi who insisted on hiring Xia Yue'er by name, it would be the princess. Got it.

Hearing the words, Marquis Wen had no choice but to smile wryly, but it was unreasonable for a woman to lose her temper, especially for a princess.Although he didn't completely agree with Princess Changhua's words, he knew in his heart that he couldn't add fuel to the fire at the moment.The princess has always had a strong temperament, especially when she is angry, she will definitely not listen to harsh advice, and to be honest, it will have the opposite effect if it is not done well.

Feeling helpless, he could only turn his head to look at his son, hoping that he would go and persuade his old mother, after a while, it would not be too late to make careful plans.

Receiving the signal from his father's eyes, Wen Yunhao rolled his eyelids, but silently moved two steps to the side, then raised his handsome face slightly, and glanced at the beams of the roof, as if his body was still, and there was no more movement.This is to turn a deaf ear and just be a passerby watching.

Just kidding, he was so stupid to rush up this kind of obvious cannon fodder!
Master Wen's eyes were wide open, and after a while, Wen Yunhao was not shocked at all by his father's domineering aura, and he was still staring at the roof tenaciously, as if he wanted to see a flower .

After all, the old man has poor stamina, but if he persisted for a while, his eyes became sore and flustered. He blinked and spit secretly: Sinister, Mr. Wen Hou, who couldn’t be dragged by foreign aid, had to jump into the fire pit by himself, enduring his heartache for the burning princess’s daughter-in-law After thinking about it for a moment, Master Wen tried his best to smile, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea, handed it to Princess Changhua, and said in a gentle voice:

"Princess, drink a cup of tea and calm down. I didn't mean that. I just thought that Yue'er would come back so easily. Didn't the princess miss her daughter so much that I didn't know how many times I cried in the middle of the night. I just watched I feel very uncomfortable in my heart. Now that people come back to us, they should get close first, so why rush to push them away? In my opinion, with Yue'er's character, only our family has been stepped on. For my son's sake, isn't it easy to find a good family? Let's just wait for the discerning person to come to propose marriage. Why should the princess be wronged to look at such a low-ranking family? Isn't it just for nothing?"

After all, Marquis Wen felt that his face was burning hot, what he said was really heartless!Although Yue'er of his family is good, she can't escape the hurdle of a second marriage. Speaking of others, it will inevitably add a little bit of trouble. How can it be so easy to choose someone who has all the corners?But looking up at Princess Changhua's relaxed expression, Lord Wen felt that it would be easier to wipe his face and put it in his pocket than to tell the truth and get scratched all over his face. Anyway, no one else heard these shameless words, right? , Coax your own wife, so why are you serious!right!
As for the masterpiece Wen Yunhao's "thing" that was kicked out of such a limit by his own father, he stared at the smiling side face of Lord Wen for a long time, silently comparing himself with Lord Wen. The gap, he felt that he was going to be defeated, his face couldn't bear it.Silent for a while, finally only slowly turned his head to the side, then slowly raised his hand, silently pressed the corners of his twitching eyes, turned sideways at a 45-degree angle and concentrated on checking the dark corner, as if there was nothing more important than this something happened.

In this room, Marquis Wen coaxed Princess Changhua, but Wen Yunhao pretended to be on the sidelines and did not mention it for the time being.In the exquisite and gorgeous embroidery building on the west side of the Xianghou Mansion, the Wenxinyue who has been mentioned repeatedly by several people is reclining on the soft couch, with her head down and her eyes down, as if concentrating on embroidering the mandarin duck in her hand. Very unskilled with needlework.

And two or three steps away from her side, a maid with a double bun, standing respectfully with her hands down, is reporting in a low voice what the county magistrate asked her to inquire about:
"My servant has inquired about it. They were married years ago. The third master of the Zhang family was sent to Yanzhou as an official a few years ago, and the whole family took him with him. The son of the elder son went to the other hospital in Yanzhou to recuperate for several months. The master of the elder son and Zhang Zhiqing knew each other. It's also a coincidence that the other courtyard happened to be next door to Zhang Zhiqing's house, so I'm afraid I recognized him at that time...Miss Zhang is only fourteen years old, and she's not yet young. It is said that the eldest son is a bit older, and there is no delay, Princess Yan and Mrs. Zhang finally persuaded the Zhang family to agree to get married as soon as possible. Now, the marriage is only a few months old, and it is good news."

The servant girl paused slightly as she spoke, raised her head and secretly glanced at the county master's expression, seeing that she had no sadness or joy on her face, just lowered her head and looked infinitely focused, not sure how the county master was feeling, she blinked her eyes uneasily, Hesitantly said:
"The servant girl gave two taels of silver to the gatekeeper in the second room of Prince Yan's mansion, and found out that the young lady of the Zhang family has been pregnant for more than four months, and, it seems, it seems..."

"Huh?" The voice stopped in vain, Wen Xinyue raised her head in doubt, saw the girl's faltering, smiled slightly, and said softly: "It seems like something, you just say it doesn't matter."

The maid raised her head and glanced at the county lord, but lowered her head in the next second, and said in a trembling voice:
"Going back to the county lord, the lady of the Zhang family seems to be pregnant with twins. The mother-in-law said that Princess Yan was overjoyed, and rewarded the servants of the whole house with two months' worth of silver."

After all, he held his breath and listened to the county magistrate's orders, and was ready to be interrogated carefully.But the room was silent for a long time, but the county master didn't say a word, but the atmosphere in the room became more and more oppressive, making it difficult to breathe, just when the maid couldn't hold back and wanted to take a big breath to ease the boredom With a sluggish chest, I suddenly heard the voice of the county master above, which was so soft that it was almost inaudible, and said lightly:
"Understood, you go down."

"Yes!"

The servant girl saluted respectfully, bowed her body and stepped back a few steps, tiptoed and quickly exited the door, walked away for a while, looked back at the door that was far away, the maid wiped the cold sweat from her head, long Heaved a sigh of relief, he patted his chest with fear on his face, trembling with fear, the county magistrate's eyes were dark and gloomy, without a trace of light, and for no reason it made people's hairs stand on end, it was frightening to death!

But at this time, in the extremely quiet room, there was a sudden burst of light laughter, and then a soft and strange voice slowly sounded, which gradually dissipated in the air.

"Twins, what a blessing, hehe—"
