451, Chinese New Year
Three days later, a small sedan chair, eighteen dowries, a few people's dowry, a pink coat Yao Keyun carried into the Xiangwang Mansion from the side door, and the three days back to the door was sent back by the palace Changshi, who was still dressed in pink, and a side concubine was not qualified to let King Xiang accompany her back.

Yao Keyun's matter has finally settled, and the Tang family is also going back to Maozhou, Yao Keqing knows that there is collusion between the Tang family and the Xiao Miao family, in the past life, and in this life, the letter written by the Tang family to the Xiao Miao family intercepted by Song Ziqing also confirmed this.
To be honest, Yao Keqing doesn't really want the Tang family to go back, although the Xiao Miao family was forced back to Maozhou, but it is difficult to guarantee that she will not encourage some clansmen to collude with the Yu family, and the Tang family is in cahoots with her, and now Yao Keqing can only wait for the opportunity, and does not want the Xiao Miao family to have more branches.
Now that the prince is still young, the emperor still needs to control the forces behind a few adult princes, so he will not attack the Yu family for the time being, but once the prince is established, the Yu family will become the first to sacrifice the knife, and the Yao family will also be in danger, what Yao Keqing has to do is to separate their long house before this, and draw a line with the second room and all the people related to the Yu family.
Xiao Miao's is waiting, waiting for a chance to turn over, Yao Keqing is also waiting, and then three years later, when the Changxiang Marquis Mansion will be separated, no matter who this title belongs to, the long house will be completely cut off from the second room.
Tang returned to Maozhou, Yao Kexin didn't have any more trouble, low-key in the house to recuperate, Yao Keyun seemed to be quite favored in Xiangwang Mansion, and every once in a while he could come back to see Yao Kexin with gifts full of red light, but the two sisters tacitly agreed no longer to provoke Yao Keqing, Yao Keqing didn't pay much attention to them, while embroidering the dowry, while cooperating with Yao Keyi to help the Zhu family take care of the trivial matters of the New Year.
Last year, because of Yao Kerou's obstruction, Zhu's year was really aggrieved, this year her relationship with Yao Chongming eased, she wanted to open it again, the mood was rare and happy, very dedicated to the operation, when there was some human exchange, the gift to the eldest princess's mansion was very heavy, first, the eldest princess's status was precious, and secondly, she knew that she could have today thanks to Yao Keqing's blessing, which was regarded as a peach reciprocation.
The beginning of the year is the marriage of Yao Qikang and Yu Ruohan, even if the Zhu family doesn't care, they can't snub the Yu family, and they sent the gift over according to the rules, and the Yu family will also return the gift of the same grade, and the Zhu family figured out that the Yu family didn't seem to be willing to do this family business, but why did they agree to it?
After all, it was a matter of the second room, and Zhu couldn't figure it out, so he put it down, and prepared for the New Year's banquet with joy.
Yao Kerou, who had been beaten by Yao Keqing for half a year, had not recovered her previous coquettishness until the Chinese New Year, and her eyes were still full of fear when she looked at Yao Keqing, Yao Kerou was a spoiled child, leaving the protection of Xiao Miao's family, without Yao Qichen's support, she finally experienced the difficult taste of the world.
Yao Chongming was extremely happy this year, although the sons didn't seem to be very successful, but the daughters made him raise his eyebrows, the eldest daughter and the second daughter married better than the other, and now the colleagues in the yamen saw that he was both flattering and envious, and the boss was much more kind to him. Thinking about it carefully, his situation has changed for the better since Xiao Miao's left the Hou Mansion, and he secretly said that this may be the credit of the Zhu family's good manners, and he has been busy with the Zhu family more and more, thinking of Yao Kerou's little temper in the past, and the disrespect of the Zhu family couldn't help but be a little displeased, but when he saw Yao Kerou shrinking to the side and cowering, he couldn't help but feel distressed, he has so many children, Yao Kerou is the only one who is close to him, and it is no wonder that he loves Yao Kerou the most.
Yao Kerou's sluggish appearance looked really distressed, so he asked Zhu on the side, "Why does Sister Rou still not look energetic?"
Zhu was busy for a long time before sitting down, and finally could take a breath, as soon as he heard Yao Chongming's tone of being a little rejuvenated, he was a little unhappy in his heart, and his answer was perfunctory, "The eldest lady is married, and the third lady has also moved to be a companion with the second miss, and the side is suddenly deserted, and the fourth miss feels unaccustomed, and it is inevitable that she can't keep her spirits!"
What Zhu said made some sense, Yao Chongming was still a little worried, "Ask a doctor to take a look, I see that Sister Rou has lost a lot of weight!"
Yao Kerou is eleven or twelve years old when she is developing, and it is normal to grow taller and thinner, Zhu disagreed, "My daughter's family should be thin at this age, there is nothing wrong with it, if it is fat, it is not good, but since the master can't rest assured, just ask a doctor to come and see after the New Year!"
Yao Chongming looked at Yao Keqing and Yao Keyi bowing their heads and whispering from time to time during the banquet, looking happy, in contrast, Yao Kerou, who was silent on the side, looked depressed, so he couldn't help asking, "What is Sister Rou thinking? Why don't you talk to the sisters?"
Yao Kerou glanced at Yao Keqing, and said, "The second sister and the third sister have been talking about writing, I don't understand!"
Yao Chongming coughed, and blamed Yao Keqing a little, "Sister Qing is now the eldest among the sisters, so you have to take care of your sisters more!"
Yao Keqing said indifferently, "Princess Duanyuan sent a female official to the ward a few years ago, invited me to enjoy the lanterns together during the Lantern Festival, and asked me to help her make a lantern, I was discussing the style of this lantern with the third sister, but I didn't expect the fourth sister to understand!"
This is implying that Yao Kerou is not learning and has no skills, and the matter was ordered by Princess Duanyuan, Yao Chongming couldn't blame Yao Keqing, so he had to turn his head and comfort Yao Kerou, "If you don't understand something, just ask, they are all sisters, you don't have to be like this!"
It's just that Yao Kerou doesn't think that she and Yao Keqing are sisters in a family, and Yao Chongming doesn't understand her thoughts, she only feels that her father doesn't help her anymore, and she is very aggrieved, nodding with tears, "My daughter knows!"
It was a well-intentioned persuasion, but I didn't expect Yao Kerou to cry when she heard it, Yao Chongming was puzzled, "Why do you have to cry if you're good? Who bullied you? Say it, and your father will call the shots for you!"
Yao Kerou wanted to say that Yao Keqing bullied her and teamed up with the Zhu family to belittle her, but she had no evidence, and no one believed her when she said it, so she could only shake her head, "No, it's just that my mother was not there during the Chinese New Year last year, and there is another second brother this year, and there are fewer and fewer people, I don't know who will be missing for the New Year next year, and my daughter is a little sad for a while!"
Xiao Miao's family went back to their ancestral hometown to think about the past, but Yao Qichen just went out to study and came back after two years, Yao Chongming comforted, "Your second brother will come back the year after next at most, and besides, your eldest brother will get married at the beginning of the year, and there will be more people for the New Year next year!"
"What about Mother? When will Mother come back? After so long, hasn't Mother recovered from her illness?"
