Zhongyi Houfu, who faded out of everyone's sight because of filial piety, took advantage of the birthday banquet of the young Yao Houye, and returned to the upper social circle of the imperial capital in a low-key but lively manner.
Early in the morning on the day of the birthday banquet, Prince Jinshun's step-concubine Yao returned to the Zhongyi Mansion to support her mother's family and her brother-in-law's younger brother. Therefore, although the two generations of the Yao family are only idle and have not entered the court, those noble families are also very respectful and thoughtful.
And Yao Houye, who is only twenty-four years old, is also a handsome and elegant person with a wide range of friends, so a birthday banquet is smooth and lively.
However, when the luncheon was over, the guests dispersed, and only a few masters of the Yao family were left in the house, the atmosphere did not seem to be so harmonious.
It's been almost half an hour......
Yao Xuan sat in her aunt's arms and silently counted the time, while listening to her criticism and teaching of her mother.
Such a scene will be staged almost every time Princess Yao returns to her parents' house, so everyone is used to it.
"In general, you are okay today, now there are no elders in the family, in the future, as the head of the house, you will go out to socialize, you must not lose the face of our house, and there will be more and more rituals, I will tell you what you should pay attention to, and if you are not sure, ask Mama Li......" Princess Yao said this, raised her eyes and looked at the pitiful beauty face of her younger sister Wu, and only felt that the three big words 'good bully' were clearly written on it!
Princess Yao thought of Mama Li reporting to herself, and her words were faintly resentful and disparagement, and she added with a little sadness: "But you don't have to listen to her everything, although she is an old man left by her mother, she is just a servant in the end, how can she let a subordinate be the master of the Marquis's Mansion!" ”
Wu is her brother's wife, the head of the house, even if she is young and inappropriate, she has never treated Mama Li badly, she has gradually given power to Wu, a slave still dares to complain, it can be seen that she is greedy for power, and she doesn't know how to advance or retreat.
Wu Shi, who had been listening to the eldest sister's teaching, heard this, and the corners of her mouth curled imperceptibly, and then she still had an obedient face, and responded softly, but inadvertently glanced at the girl in the other party's arms.
"Aunt eats." Yao Xuan was in Princess Yao's arms, received the hint from her mother's eyes, raised her head and smiled at her aunt, stretched out her little fat hand and handed the preserved fruit to her.
Although Yao Xuan's appearance and voice have inherited the softness and softness of the Wu family, the nobility of her temperament is very similar to that of the Yao sisters and brothers. Although she is only more than five years old, she is smart and sensible, she has the momentum of a noble lady of the Hou Mansion when she lifts her face, and she is very beautiful and cute when she smiles, so she is deeply favored by Princess Yao and Yao Hou and his wife.
"Tuan Tuan is good, my aunt doesn't eat it, Tuan Tuan eats it herself." Princess Yao's originally stiff face softened instantly, and she smiled and rubbed the tender face of the girl in her arms, the more she looked at it, the more she loved it.
Originally, I wanted to complain a few words about the rudeness of my brother and daughter-in-law's mother's family, but Princess Yao thought that the Wu family and her mother's family had already fallen out, and in front of the child, she still had to save some face for the mother, so she swallowed the words back and teased her niece instead: "Your father's birthday is finally over, Tuan Tuan can go to my aunt's house to play, right?" Your cousin is going to be loud, and I haven't seen his little sister yet. ”
Yao Xuan's grandfather died of illness three years ago, Princess Yao as a married daughter, and her husband's family is a royal family, so she only kept filial piety for one year, and her own second son will now be eight months old.
As soon as he heard Princess Yao change the topic, Marquis Yao, who had been wandering for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly agreed: "Go, go, Tuan Tuan will go to see the little cousin for my father and mother, sister, little nephew, we haven't been able to pass the first few good days, and when he is one year old, my brother will definitely give him a big red envelope." ”
Yao Houye's mother has passed away for more than ten years, and Princess Yao, who is five years older than him, is really the eldest sister Ru's mother, who has been taking care of and helping him, and even married Prince Jinshun as a stepconcubine in order to keep the lintel of the Hou Mansion.
Obviously, his sister looks down on the kind of amorous scumbag with empty skin the most, so he is worried about the eldest sister's strong love and daughter-in-law's private punishment after being angry, and Yao Houye is willing to accept it.
He is really the warm-hearted male god that his daughter said, Yao Houye smiled gently, but he was silently moved by himself in his heart......
"Don't, although you haven't arrived, but the courtesy is light, how can he afford to be such a villain?" Princess Yao looked at her younger brother with a smile in her eyes, although the prestige of their Hou Mansion was not as good as before, but the family foundation laid by several generations of business was very thick.
In addition, the younger brother and daughter-in-law of the Wu family have a rich dowry, some ability in management, and they are not stingy, and the exchange of gifts with the prince's mansion over the years can give Princess Yao a lot of face: "You are an uncle, teach your nephews more in the future, and you will make my sister happy than how many treasures you give." ”
Princess Yao's words are not a compliment, although their Zhongyi Marquis Mansion was implicated in the palace change many years ago and is not treated by today, so that now two generations have not entered the court, but her younger brother is really a civil and military master, and he has a lot of experience and travel, and her sons can't go wrong with learning from this uncle.
"Of course, when my nephew is empty, he will come to the house, not to mention anything else, my brother will take him to see people and the world." It is incumbent on Hou Ye Yao to do this, although the gentlemen of the palace are all really talented and learned, but the style and level are too high, and they will not teach them in all things, "The children of our family can't develop a high-eyed and low-minded temperament." ”
The sisters and brothers laughed and talked a few more words, seeing that the sun had set in the west, and Princess Yao was not going back too late, so she was followed back to the palace by Marquis Yao himself.
Mrs. Yao Hou Wu stayed at home to clean up the aftermath, and their family of three had another small banquet in the evening, and they also had to pack up their daughter's things, and Princess Yao would send someone to pick her up as a guest tomorrow, and she would stay for a few days.
Marquis Yao didn't like to see his brother-in-law, so he sent the princess's frame to the intersection in front of Wangfu Street, and said goodbye to his sister through the curtain.
Princess Yao didn't stop him, raised her hand to lift the corner of the car curtain, and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You will be twenty-three years old after this birthday, and you should have a son soon, now the Hou Mansion is alone, but don't wait until she gets married, even a brother who can block the door has not grown up." ”
Hearing this, Marquis Yao coughed lightly in embarrassment, and muttered, "We have only been filial piety for more than a month......
"That's why I'm mentioning it to you now, it's a good time." Princess Yao smiled and glanced at her younger brother, and her eyes became more charming and bright, "Tuan Tuan can rest assured that I will be here, when there is good news, when will I return you." ”
Yao Houye has not seen his sister so lively and brisk for a long time, so he made a crying and laughing expression, and begged with her: "Sister can spare me, my brother is just such a pearl in the palm of his hand, I want to panic if I don't see it for a day, I am willing to live in your place for three or five days, and it will not work for a long time." ”
Princess Yao raised her hand and covered her smile with her sleeve: "What's strange on the street, okay, you go back quickly, I will send someone to pick up Tuan Tuan tomorrow morning, I don't need to bring anything to her, I'm ready." ”
"Order!" Marquis Yao sat upright on the horse and hugged his fists, smiled at his sister again, and then motioned for the convoy to move on, and he watched Princess Yao's carriage drive into the main gate, and then turned the horse and led the servants to and fro.
On the other side, in the main courtyard of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, the mother and daughter of the Wu family, who had changed their regular clothes and arranged dinner, were checking the gift list, and when they saw that they were interested, they ordered someone to take it out and take a look.
"This painting must be liked by the Hou Ye, put it in the inner study first, and when the Hou Ye sees it, he will arrange it himself." Wu picked and chose among these gifts, handed them to the maid waiting next to him to put them away, and chose a box of high-quality gold-pink pearls to come out, and handed them to the girl who was lazily snuggling with her, "Wear it in a bun for you." ”
"I have two of them, so why don't I wear them with a long silver chain and a gemstone pendant for my forehead? Make two identical pairs, and I wear them with my mother. Yao Xuan handed the box to the maid to collect, and she found a comfortable position in Wu's arms to continue nesting.
Yao Xuan had a shallow relationship in her last life, and she didn't remember when her parents died unexpectedly, and then for the compensation left by her parents, her grandfather's family and her grandmother's family fell out, and she has since lost her relatives on the maternal side.
Grandpa was alone and pulled her up, not long after she graduated from high care, the old man also went, and she herself struggled to become a high-standard older leftover girl in the bustling capital, and she was still a single dog until she died in a car accident......
So for Yao Xuan, who was put into Wu's belly, the Yao Hou couple who loved her very much in this life were her dearest fathers and mothers.
And Yao Xuan was already a senior nurse, nurseryman, and nutritionist in her previous life, and she has dealt with infants and young children for more than ten years, simulating the happy growth of normal children, which is really no sense of disobedience, and she is also very happy......
"It's fine." Wu didn't know that his daughter's mind had drifted, so he thought about it with interest when he heard the words, asked the maid to take a small box of gems to match, and then handed the gift list to Mama Li, who was standing beside her.
Mama Li is a small woman in her forties, with a serious look and a mediocre appearance, she took the new gift sheet from Mrs. and looked at it, it turned out to be a family with the deceased old lady's mother's family, and she had seen both the people and the gifts, so she bowed down and opened her mouth with some stereotypes: "Madam, this family was also an old relative in the house, and the gift sent by the old slave was seen with his own eyes before, there is a lotus ornament with fruit, the texture is good, the meaning is better, why don't you check and see it in the house?" It's time to put on these, too. ”
Wu suddenly heard Mama Li's words, her originally soft smile was suffocated, and she hurriedly covered Yao Xuan's ears with both hands, and then raised her eyes and looked at Mama Li angrily: "In front of the girl, can you say this, Mama is tired and dizzy today!" ”
