Chapter 53: Before the Ceremony
No matter what Ren Changle thought, he would never have thought that the invisible hand that stretched out from the shadows was Li Rongxiang.
After Changle was rescued by Li Rongxiang in her previous life, she had a short period of contact, when her body was at the end of her life, and she was deeply loved by Li Rongxiang, and it was too late to be flattered, and she really didn't have the energy to think too much.
Since her rebirth in this life, she has carefully recalled her past life, and she has also taken a few steps in this life, and she has faintly felt that Li Rongxiang is not a simple person, and the Jinghong Pavilion is by no means a simple place for fireworks and music halls, but she is reluctant to think about it because of love.
Li Rongxiang's means of rectifying people are not at all imaginable by a little woman like Changle, who has experienced the vicissitudes of a lifetime, like a small trick used in the Fuchang Marquis Mansion, he doesn't bother to say it.
In the past, he didn't know that someone was secretly bullying his sweetheart, thinking that with the protection of a strong mother, those little people didn't dare to do anything, but they didn't expect that the bright ones didn't dare to come, and the dark ones didn't dare to make a big move, so they were so filthy and disgusting.
Li Rongxiang hates these disgusting people the most in his life, and he treats them in his own way, and if he doesn't rectify those lives, he is not as good as death, where is he worthy of his enthusiasm for Changle.
After Changle rebelled openly and Li Rongxiang secretly intervened, the Fuchang Marquis Mansion at this time was no longer completely described by the word 'disgusting', and it was necessary to add 'quite' in front of disgusting to basically describe it one or two points.
In the backyard of Wufutang, where Mrs. Fuchang Hou lives, the bitter smell of boiling medicine has really wafted out in recent days.
Before that, Mrs. Tai always liked to say that she was not in good health in front of Changle, and in a year, there were always a few months when she was sick.
In the previous life, Changle believed that whenever Mrs. Tai said that she was sick, she not only stayed up sad, but also always stayed with her all night, and everything went well, but Mrs. Tai's body didn't see anything, and she herself was sick I don't know how many times.
Of course, no one helped her spread the name of filial piety. Although she didn't think about what she wanted in her previous life, she still did a thankless job like a fool for more than ten years.
This time there is no chance to call the sick in front of Changle, talking and slapping mouths, and the people who have been shouting 'wolf' for many years have finally been bitten by the 'wolf', and they are really sick, and this disease is still menacing, and they can't get out of bed.
The two-finger-wide old purple trowel strangled on the swollen and painful head, and the little girl rubbed the back of her head with all the hair scattered for her from time to time, she still felt a headache, and even her eyes couldn't be opened, and her heart was hot for a while, intermittently accompanied by convulsions, and she always felt that something was blocked there, and she couldn't rub it when she wanted to, and the more she kneaded it, the more it hurt, and it was uncomfortable!
Yang Ningzhi, the Marquis of Fuchang, felt that he had been really unlucky recently, and he was still smooth sailing a month ago.
The outer room is sincere, the children in the outer room are well-behaved and sensible, and the house is also peaceful and harmonious, and the eldest daughter is obedient and obedient by her mother, and she also respects him as a father.
Although the people outside laughed at him for wearing a green hat on his head, but fortunately, the voice of sympathy was also thought-provoking, especially when the saint looked at him today, he still felt pity, unlike the hideous expression of the thorn in his eye now, maybe he was too tired to look at it, and even the early dynasty dismissed him.
and the Ningji Hou Mansion that he went to ask a few days ago, obviously agreed to mediate for him, but there was no movement, and he didn't go to the door to urge him after only a few days. If you offend this place, there will be no place to help him.
was already anxious, but last night he pulled out his outer room and climbed his brother's bed, and this morning he was blocked in the room by his second brother and sister, he was so angry that he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
If this person is lucky, it is simply impossible to prevent it, leaking in one place and leaking everywhere.
In order to avoid people's eyes and ears and make the fake drama look real, after Qin's mother and daughter were allowed to enter the mansion, according to the rhetoric when they entered the mansion, they naturally had to move to his brother's courtyard, and even if he wanted to sneak around, he had to find time to hide in the remote darkroom in the backyard.
At that time, he was walking back and forth in the study in a circle, thinking about how to deal with a string of rotten things, and he was already full of sorrow before breakfast, and when he heard the frightened little girl coming to report the time, he was so shocked that his jaw couldn't hold it.
When he hurried to his brother's courtyard, his younger brother was disheveled and a little unconscious, and his second brother and sister were already torn apart from his Qin family, who was known as Yao'er.
Qin only wore a brightly colored butterfly belly pocket, and there was still a little crimson on his naked/exposed white and tender skin, which looked like a trace of joy/love, which could not be denied.
In the small side room, there was no place for these people to stay, and his blood rushed to his brain, almost bursting his skull.
When Qin saw him come in, he cried and hid behind him, and explained in a choked and sobbing voice that he couldn't listen to a word.
It is impossible for any man to be indifferent when he sees this scene, even if he has n green hats on his head that are not counted.
The new green hat was not the same as the one he had worn before.
For so many years, all he got in front of the Qin family was to be looked up to, and the Qin family depended on him like a little woman, as if he couldn't live without him, so that he could get great satisfaction from the male dignity and other things that he lost in the eldest princess Xiao Hua.
The Qin family also kept saying that he was willing to be the woman behind him for the rest of his life, even if he was not famous and had no job, he was willing to follow him and give birth to children for him, without the slightest complaint......
As a result, just last night, when this woman had just entered the Hou Mansion for less than ten days, under his nose, she actually ...... actually climbed into his brother's bed, from his brother's 'fake concubine' to a 'real concubine', which is almost as effective as slapping him twice in front of 10,000 people.
The eldest princess Xiao Hua has been slapping him in the face professionally for 20 years, which is also the order of the royal family, and the identity of the first daughter of the empire is there, and whoever marries will be slapped in the face. It's just that he was unlucky enough to be hit.
It's good that he got a woman who is not as good as him in everything and clings to him for a living, and dares to paint him with a new layer of green on his green head.
It's as if he's dead!
No matter how it happened, and what was hidden in it, he could not forgive it.
In a hurry, he first locked the slut who was crying and tearful and was caught by his younger brother and sister in the dark room, and slapped his younger brother twice.
As for his crazy woman-like brother and sister, it's not easy for him to say anything as an uncle, let the woman make trouble in the second room, he can't care about it anyway.
He also admires himself, in just over a month, after experiencing so many bad things, he can still be regarded as calm and can distinguish which is the secondary.
He has more important things to do in front of him, no matter what the chaos in the mansion has become, for the sake of his career that he is already so bleak that he can't be bleak anymore, or the outside affairs are more important, otherwise, he hasn't been a green-headed turtle for so many years, and he has put down his identity in vain to beg Ning Jihou.
The most important thing is his daughter's gift tomorrow, but seeing that a big gift is going to be held tomorrow, he has not received any news from the princess's mansion until this time. It's a big mansion, and he goes alone, is it good or not?
It's just brain-burning. It's worse than he's cuckolded again.
When it was critical, he had to come to his mother.
Even if his mother's own CPU is about to run to the point of bursting, who makes him the only person who can refer to major events is his mother, even the dog-headed military advisors he raised, he thinks about it carefully, they are all wine bags and rice bags, and bullshit is not clear, so he knows that the hand of patting the sycophant is not good at TMD.
The last time he and the eldest princess Xiao Hua vomited and asked them for advice, they actually asked him to go to the princess's mansion to kneel and break porcelain for the eldest princess Xiao Hua with a panicked face...... What kind of stuff are these, and you still spend money to support them? Tomorrow it's all gone!
"Mother, are you getting better?" Yang Ningzhi, Marquis of Fuchang, took the bowl of freshly boiled black decoction from the little girl who was waiting for Mrs. Tai, sat on the side of Mrs. Tai's bed, and staged twenty-four filial piety.
When Mrs. Tai heard Fuchanghou speak, she didn't open her eyes, but just sighed deeply in her heart.
How many great virtues did she lack in her previous life to have such a group of unscrupulous descendants, one by one, none of them made her worry-free. She doesn't have a few days left in her life. Sooner or later, it will be in the hands of these bastards.
"It's all because of the son's unfilial piety, so that your old man can't worry," Yang Ningzhi lowered his head and sighed.
Finally a little self-aware, Mrs. Tai's tightly closed eyes narrowed a line, and a little afterglow caught a glimpse of his son's declining appearance, and closed back in anger.
Yang Ningzhi felt that the foreplay was almost done, and after feeding his wife half a bowl of decoction and a small spoonful of brown sugar, he opened his mouth to get down to business.
"Tomorrow is Changle's ceremony, do you want to go with me?" He was a must-go.
It is said that today's saint will bring the queen to go with him, and it is estimated that many of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will go with him to help the fun, but most of the women and the ladies who go to the court are famous ladies and noblewomen, and if they don't even have a female dependent, they can't get over their faces.
Xiao Tian's appearance and the amount are not enough, he really can't take it out, and his wife will appear in person on this occasion!
Over the years, the scene of father, daughter, filial piety, and grandmother like mother, I am afraid that it is not good to cover up the past, and now in the stormy shape of the Hou Mansion, there is no longer any, even a small blow.
Even with the rebuke of the saint today, and the holy decree to cancel Yoo Seung-hee's marriage, etc., after all, outsiders can only look at the surface, and no one can see what is really wrong inside, and what changes have been made.
At least his father is still a father, a grandmother is still a grandmother, and is the Fuchang Marquis Mansion still the Fuchang Marquis Mansion?
Therefore, this superficial work must be done, and it must be done thoroughly, perfectly, and very well in order to stabilize the scene.
"Go? you! "It's hard for Mrs. Tai to pretend to be a lady and a virtuous woman all her life, and finally broke it to pieces in her old age, and was scolded by a bastard son angrily, "The white-eyed wolf with a wolf heart and no conscience, the old lady raised her for nothing, and was bitten by her in turn, not caring about the nurturing feelings of the Hou Mansion at all, and not listening to her lewd/slutty mother in everything." "She went to the princess's mansion several times to ask Changle to come back, and even sent out the Oda clan, what was the result? I didn't even see her face, so I asked a maid to send her away.
Fuchanghou bowed his head and was silent, he felt that her mother's scolding was still not quite right, of course he could guess her mother's thoughts about her eldest daughter, and he still let it go, which inevitably had his own thoughts.
He didn't doubt that Changle was his species, although Princess Xiao Hua's style was chaotic, she had strong self-esteem, a proud and fierce temperament, and her identity as the first woman in the empire would not let her casually conceive a lowly male pet.
Even if he knows this, he really doesn't like Changle.
Perhaps, he also figured out that Guò Changle took revenge on Princess Xiao Hua for her low contempt for him, so he pretended to turn a blind eye.
Hey, how to say this kind of heart knot, it's really too contradictory, so he can't think about it clearly, so he lets his mother and Oda do whatever they want.
Now that something has happened, blame Changle for the fault, not necessarily, they themselves are also responsible, who let them have their own thoughts and think about calculating in place, but they haven't done things well, so that people can expose the bottom line.
Looking at it this way, it's not that they are innocent, but that Changle is smart, when did Changle learn? And who taught it?
A girl who has not yet reached the age of a young lady can't be self-taught, so he really has to be proud that his seed is too good - then the question is, how did he come from this feeling of deep hatred and a little joy for Changle to have such a method? Break!
Yang Ningzhi frowned, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he suddenly thought that this should not be taught by his sturdy wife, right? But I don't think it's possible.
Although his sturdy wife is domineering and arrogant, she has always looked down on him, but if she finds that there is a difference between their Hou Mansion, she will never teach Changle to bite back slowly and slowly, and she would have already raised the knife sharply.
This style of slashing people with a blunt knife is by no means his wife's style means.
Thinking that there were more masters in the back, Yang Ningzhi was even more restless.
Hey, it's not the time to think about these things in front of me, I just secretly remember this in my heart, and when I heard that his wife was going to continue to scold, he hurriedly interrupted.
"Mother, your old man is angry, don't talk angrily, now that the situation in the house is like this, if you provoke the anger of the heavenly family again, how can you do it," under the imperial power, how can he not bow his head, or he can't professionally wear a green hat for twenty years and dare not speak.
Mrs. Tai interrupted the hand of the little girl who was rubbing her head with a wave of her hand, and with another wave of her hand, the servants in the bedroom were very obedient and withdrew one by one.
Just like the Marquis of Fuchang who was trained by the current saint in the court, she didn't get well.
After entering the harem, the queen mother also had a cold face, and reprimanded her for a long time, which made her tremble when she heard it, and saw that she was supposed to be her niece Liu Guogong's stepwife, Datian, but it became Liuguo's wife.
Mrs. Liu Guo also reported a serious infectious disease to her niece, which completely shocked her heart and made her seriously ill and bedridden.
With her decades of experience in the struggle at home, she already had a premonition that her niece, the Ota clan, would not end well.
The illness is definitely not a real illness, can you leave her the day before and go back to her own house in the Liuguo Mansion to cause a serious infectious disease that can't be raised?
After leaving the palace, she asked Mrs. Liuguo to go to the Liuguo Mansion to visit the Datian family, but Mrs. Liuguo refused with a cold face.
Mrs. Liuguo also said to her unceremoniously: "If Mrs. Tian thinks that our Liuguo Mansion can't take care of and heal her, you can take her back, and you don't need to see it." "If you weren't always watching together, why would you have brought such a big disaster to the Liuguo Mansion.
Liu Chengxi is no longer successful, and that is also her own grandson. A good child, who has a bright future, is now completely ruined, and I don't know what to do in the future? She almost hated the people of the Fuchang Marquis's mansion to death.
One sentence choked Mrs. Fuchang Houfu without a word, the three words 'take back' are too meaningful, and I can't help but make people think deeply.
Mrs. Fuchang's mother's family, which is also the mother's family of Liuguo's stepwife, Datian's family, is not as good as before, neither a title, nor a high-ranking official.
It is conceivable that if the Datian clan is disgusted by the Liuguo Mansion, what will happen to her? There is no place for her to live in her mother's family, go with her son? Don't be funny, Yoo Seung-hee's golden and jade appearance, and the defeat is becoming more and more apparent.
Moreover, with Mrs. Fuchang's understanding of Mrs. Liuguo, if Liu Chengxi dared to take in his mother, the Liuguo Mansion would never tolerate Liu Chengxi, anyway, there was no shortage of sons in the Liuguo Mansion.
Not to mention that Liu Guogong's eldest son is already an adult and has been crowned a son, even Liu Guogong himself is in his prime.
It is not easy for a forty-year-old woman to give birth, and if a forty-year-old man wants to give birth to as many as he wants, who can stop him.
It's not impossible for people to marry a young man, and the princess can't marry the princess, according to the comparison of Daejeon's family background, appearance, and character, the twenty-year-old young man has a lot of hands and marries a two-room door together, who can say anything.
If this is the case, the conservative mother and son of the Daejeon clan Yoo Seung-hee were driven away together, and they couldn't do it on the streets, and they had to run to her house to fight the autumn breeze.
It's enough to think about it!
Don't look at her headache and brain swelling and sick bed, but last night and this morning, she still knows the details of the chaos that was staged.
Qi is no longer able to breathe.
I used to think that how docile the Qin family was, and she was obedient to her, her daughter-in-law should be like this, who would have thought that this woman had only been in the door for a few days, and she had stabbed such a big thing to break the sky, and the family was already restless, this time...... It's torn apart.
Xu is mother and son added □□, at this time, Mrs. Tai thought of not cleaning up the Qin family first, and she couldn't go out of the sky, this must be a mess in the Hou Mansion itself, it is okay to postpone it for a few days, let's go inside and outside first, or make sure that tomorrow Changle's ceremony is good.
"Go, I just carry the old woman, and I have to have someone carry me away, the old woman wants to see, who dares to stop the old woman and I won't let me enter the gate of the princess's mansion? Why don't I go, I'm the girl's grandmother, I have to talk about it if I have a mouth, hum" After sneering three times, Mrs. Tai continued to roar, "That girl, the Fuchang Hou Mansion has raised her for more than ten years, and now her wings are hard, she dares to fly away, she usually eats and lives in the Hou Mansion, but now she has a courtesy, but she doesn't give this face to his father, see what others talk about, see how poisonous and ......black this girl's heart is."
Speaking of the back, Mrs. Tai seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, patted the bed, sat up, didn't care about the headache and brain swelling, and said angrily: "Let the people outside see, who bullied whom?" ”
Fuchang Hou, "......"
Speaking of tomorrow's ceremony, as the only heroine, Changle is not worried about the banquet, she is just worried......
The sun was setting, dinner had already been served, Changle sat in his boudoir and waited very uneasily, until the curtain was lifted, and Midsummer hurried in from outside, she stood up a little out of proportion, and did not wait for Midsummer to approach her, but she greeted her.
"Can you hand over the invitation to Mr. himself?" She asked urgently.
Midsummer avoided his master's eyes like a fire, and was blessed, "The slave and maid lived up to the master's trust, and didn't see Mr., and the invitation was handed over to the little brother named Mo Ran." ”
In fact, she wanted to say that the little brother named Mo Ran said that his husband was sick and couldn't pick up the post in person, but at this time, she never dared to say it.
If she really said it, according to her master's heart for that person, she couldn't run over immediately.
Tomorrow is the courtesy of her master, such a big matter, must not be delayed because of other things, and according to her, the gentleman is lazy for two out of ten days, looking as if he is sick, it should not be a big deal.
"Oh, I handed it over to the ink dye," Changle didn't think much about it, knowing Li Rongxiang in two lives, she naturally knew what the identity of the ink dye and Li Rongxiang was, and handing it over to the ink dye was not much different from handing it over to Li Rongxiang.
She knew this, but she was still uncomfortable in her heart, and told Midsummer to get up in a sullen manner, and she turned around and sat back at the small table with diamond flowers in the side window of the bedroom.
"The master doesn't have to worry, since the little brother has taken the post, he will definitely give it to Mr. Li, tomorrow is the master's big day, he will definitely come." Liuxia hurriedly followed, carefully persuading.
"Hmm," Changle replied casually, she was afraid that Li Rongxiang would not come.
Li Rongxiang is that person, she understands, saying that the limelight in the capital can match her mother, in fact, everyone only hears his voice and does not see him, although there are many people who invite him, but few people really see Li Rongxiang go to any banquet.
Thinking that he was different from others in Li Rongxiang's heart, even if he couldn't go to other people's banquets, he should always come.
Li Rongxiang also said that he wanted to give himself a gift.
Even if I don't see him in the public with many people during the day, I will wait for the banquet to disperse, avoid all this complicated, and I should come to see her in person.
It's a pity, I didn't expect her to guess correctly, and Li Rongxiang really didn't come to her banquet the next day.
I didn't come until the time was over, and no one had arrived.
