After the meal, Wang Huaishan sent Wang Huaimu back, and Wang Yongzhao led the family to the mourning hall to offer incense and kowtow.

When he went to bed this night, thinking of Huaishan who knelt for his father and brother in the mourning hall, Zhang Xiaowan sighed silently.

If you don't do this filial piety, someone outside is talking, and this kind of mouth can only be cautious.

Zhang Xiaowan slept until midnight, she woke up from a restless sleep, and in the dim moonlight of the night, she noticed that Wang Yongzhao was getting out of bed.

When the others walked to the door, Zhang Xiaowan whispered, "Where are you going?" ”

"Sleep yours." Wang Yongzhao turned his head and whispered.

"I'll help you get dressed." Zhang Xiaowan got up, quickly walked in front of him, took the coat he had just picked up on the screen, and put it on for him.

At this time, there was movement in the outhouse, Zhang Xiaowan walked quickly to the door, and said softly, "Don't light the lights." ”

She turned around and packed Wang Yongzhao's clothes again, and watched him walk out silently.

"Ma'am." Mrs. Ping, who was on vigil, whispered to her.

Zhang Xiaowan sat on her couch, slept with her, and said softly, "I can't sleep, just talk to me." ”

"Are you thinking about the eldest prince?"

"Ugh."

Zhang Xiaowan sighed, and then smiled bitterly, "I want to, the eldest son, the second son, the third son, and the old man." ”

"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, don't worry too much, you're tired." Mrs. Ping put a warm thin quilt on her.

Zhang Xiaowan smiled, looking at the pale moonlight through the window with his eyes open, his eyes full of exhaustion.

Mrs. Ping stretched out her hand and stopped her eyes, "You rest, you have to be busy tomorrow." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Xiaowan closed his eyes.

"You sleep with yours, I'll just talk to you."

"Okay." Zhang Xiaowan curled the corners of his mouth.

"Do you know how my former young lady died?"

"Ugh."

"After the old lady is gone, the glory and wealth are gone, she is loyal and martyrful, and she is unbearable to be insulted by others, so she pulled out the hairpin and killed herself, at that time, you have not found me, I had to take her hairpin to change a thin coffin for her, which made her into the ground, the day you found me, if I hadn't asked the doctor to see it as soon as possible, I was afraid that I would have to cry for this child blindly, that's it, my heart is also broken for her."

When Mrs. Ping said this, she tucked the quilt again, and said lightly, "Later, I followed you, and saw your way of life, thinking that although it is hard, but it is not without benefits, you have the ability, survive tonight, you can see the laughter of the sons tomorrow, and then survive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you can watch the second son who is coquettish with you grow up, watch them get married, think about it, if you are gone, no one loves them as much as you do, and there is no guidance to them when they do something wrong, if they suffer a loss outside, There is no one like you who doesn't want to comfort them, without you, they will not be like your children, they will be like the Zhang family, the Li family, the Wang family, and the Zhao family's grandson and grandson, waiting for their father's shadow to pass, and the rest is to fall. ”

After she spoke, Zhang Xiaowan was speechless for a long time, and sighed after a long time, "Yes, as you said, if you give birth to them, you have to teach them to protect them." ”

"That's not it." After a long time, Ping Po sighed, her voice desolate.

The young lady she brought up single-handedly, because there was no one to protect the pain anymore, she went like this, so that she couldn't even find the person to blame.

**

Wang Yongzhao came back from Yinshi, and as soon as he entered the door, Zhang Xiaowan went down to the ground, and saw that it was the time when Wang Yongzhao got up to practice martial arts, and lit the lamp by himself.

"How are you out there?"

"I'm waiting for you."

Wang Yongzhao's face was a little better, and he said, "Next time, don't sleep in your own bed, don't squeeze with your mother-in-law." ”

After saying that, he strode back to the inner room, and Zhang Xiaowan stopped at Mrs. Ping, who came out of the screen, "You rest." ”

Mrs. Ping replied yes, and then went back to the couch behind the screen and half-laid, waiting for the order.

Zhang Xiaowan raised the candlelight in his hand and entered the inner room, stepped forward and touched Wang Yongzhao's shirt, "I'll change your outfit." ”

"Didn't sleep well?" Wang Yongzhao touched her pale and haggard face.

"Nope." Zhang Xiaowan shook his head.

"Why do you look like that?"

"Maybe there are some." Zhang Xiaowan smiled.

Wang Yongzhao frowned and looked at her, Zhang Xiaowan thought about it, and then explained, "Don't think I'm ugly, just look haggard and haggard. ”

She is an eldest woman, how haggard she is, and how filial she is in the eyes of others.

"You've been getting older these days...... Wang Yongzhao touched her eyes, looked at her charming dark eyes, and said lightly, "But it's not ugly, it will be the same in a few years." ”

Zhang Xiaowan chuckled, put on his shirt again, and sighed, "Then I'll raise a younger one after I go back, but no matter how you raise it, it's not as delicate as a little girl, so you can take care of me more." ”

Wang Yongzhao snorted and was silent.

When he was about to go out, he turned his head to look at the woman who was looking at him with a smile and a little messy hair on her head, "Don't you ask where I went?" ”

"I'm waiting for you to tell me," Zhang Xiaowan chuckled, "I'm afraid that if I ask too much, you will think that I am a mouthy woman." ”

"Nonsense again." Wang Yongzhao glanced at her coldly, walked over, took his cloak on her for her, and said lightly, "I just went out to meet a few old friends, the emperor, I won't see you these days." ”

"Got it."

"And you have to remember that in this mansion, you are the eldest lady, and your status is more noble than anyone else." Wang Yongzhao leaned over at this time and whispered word by word in her ear.

The warm breath of Wang Yongzhao's words hit her ears, and Zhang Xiaowan raised his eyes to see him nodding.

"Don't forget, you're my lady." Wang Yongzhao touched her ears and went out.

At this time, Wang Huaishan's laughter sounded outside, "Father, I thought I was earlier than you, and I was about to go in to say hello to you and my mother, but I didn't expect you to come out, you wait for me, I'll go to say goodbye to my mother." ”

Not long after he spoke, the person strode in front of Zhang Xiaowan, saw her take a few steps and took a step over to wrap his arms around her shoulder, and praised, "Mother, you look better than usual without combing your hair." ”

Zhang Xiaowan couldn't cry or laugh, and reached out to pat him, "There are no rules, and I'm not afraid of your father training you." ”

"When is he not training?" Wang Huaishan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I'll follow him first, and I'll come soon, you let my little princess wait for me, and wait for me to dine with her, okay?" ”

"Okay." Listening to his affectionate tone towards his little princess, Zhang Xiaowan smiled even deeper, "Go, I will let Princess Xiaoshan wait for her greedy husband, you can rest assured." ”

"Okay." Wang Huaishan put his head on her shoulder and rubbed it, and after sprinkling it, Wang Yongzhao impatiently said "Don't get out yet" in the courtyard, and floated out like a gust of wind.

Ping Po had also walked in at this time, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, "It's so big, and I want to be coquettish with you." ”

"Well, isn't it?" Zhang Xiaowan was also amused, and said to her, "You come and help me comb my hair, and I'll go to see them in their house." ”

"It's still early, and they haven't woken up yet."

"Just go and see, I can't sleep anyway." Zhang Xiaowan sat down in front of the mirror, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never faded, "I'll keep an eye on it, lest the sun burn their buttocks, these two little lazy men don't know how to get up, this morning is the day for the whole family to eat together, but they are not allowed to lie in bed." ”

Mrs. Ping combed her long hair, and couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, and said, "The seven sisters and the eight sisters are all looking at them, they must have slept soundly last night, they must have gotten up early, don't beat their little butts, the little son is okay, the second son is more obedient, you have to beat him twice, how bad." ”

Zhang Xiaowan smiled and shook his head lightly, "It's just too well-behaved, I beat him as if I was hurting him, and I won't say a word of complaint, alas." ”

Looking at her and sighing, Mrs. Ping disagreed, "But no, it's true that you are hurting him, he was brought up by you, do you love him or do you really want to teach him a lesson, can he still know?" ”

Zhang Xiaowan was helpless, "Such a good child, can you really be angry with him?" ”

Mrs. Ping chuckled, she combed Zhang Xiaowan into a simple bun, looked at the woman in the mirror, and said, "Look, life is not like this, as long as you live, you will have a good time." ”

**

Mu Ruzhu brought a lot of food boxes over early in the morning, and for this reason, Wang Dushi had been standing behind Zhang Xiaowan uneasily, his face full of shame.

She is not at all like the second lady of the past, even if there is no more.

Zhang Xiaowan smiled and asked Mu Ruzhu to set the table, and said that her husband invited her to wait for him to dine together, which caused Mu Ruzhu to blush, and she pulled Wang Dushi into the outhouse of her house.

"Pingpo, close the door."

Ping Po stepped back and closed the door.

Zhang Xiaowan approached Wang Dushi, and Wang Dushi saw her coming, and a trace of panic flashed on his face.

"Follow me." Zhang Xiaowan pulled her to the back of the screen, and took the small round mirror from the table, "Look at your face now, think about the face you faced for me ten years ago." ”

Wang Dushi took the mirror, her hands trembled twice, she secretly peeked at it, just one glance, she desperately buckled the mirror to the tabletop, the mirror and the desktop made a strong contact, making a "bang" with a crisp sound.

"Don't you dare to look at it?" Zhang Xiaowan said lightly, "You are the second lady of the dignified Wang family, you have three sons, what are you afraid of?" ”

She slapped Wang Dushi on the back with a palm, "Straighten your waist." ”

"And the head, up."

Wang Dushi straightened his waist as if he was frightened, raised his head, Zhang Xiaowan looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction, "This is decent." ”

"Remember, a concubine is a concubine, a wife is a wife, he didn't divorce you according to my words back then, then you are still the wife of the Wang family Ming Media who is marrying back, in the mansion of the two masters, whether it is a concubine or a noble concubine, no one can step on your head." When Zhang Xiaowan said this, he pulled off his silver hairpin on his head, and said lightly to her, "This is given to me by the first queen, so you can wear it for me." ”

Wang Du's mouth trembled at this time, and his voice was choked, "That's it, do you want to help me too?" ”

"I didn't help you, I just did what the eldest lady of the Wang family should do, and you, later, I will do what your second lady should do, what position is the person, what should be done, what should not be done, think about it, you should be clear now?"

Wang Dushi nodded tearfully, "Sister-in-law, my sister already knows." ”

Zhang Xiaowan pulled out the handkerchief from her arms, wiped her tears, pulled her down again, and cut her hair, she pulled her old-fashioned and solemn bun to the side, and inserted the silver hairpin in it, making her look younger.

After finishing, she took the mirror and put it in Wang Dushi's hand, "Pick it up and look at it again." ”

Wang Dushi carefully lifted the mirror, looked at the mirror that became a bit like himself a few years ago, and couldn't help but laugh with tears.

She held the mirror and cried with a smile, "Do you remember the bun I loved to comb back then?" ”

The corners of Zhang Xiaowan's mouth also smiled a little, and he said lightly to her, "This hairpin, if someone asks, you will say that I inserted it for you." ”

She is the eldest lady of the Wang family, and she gave the hairpin given to her by the second lady of the first queen, Wang Yongan is wearing a pig's head on her head, and she has to think about it, use her sister-in-law to threaten the original match, and whether to do the lack of virtue that the original partner is called by the current people anymore. 166 Reading Network
