Chapter 6: Departure
Uncle's house?
Lu Qingrong couldn't react for a while.
Mother, is this the rhythm of retreating without a fight......
Lu Qingrong's first reaction was to hope that Yin Pingru could muster up her spirits and fight Xiao San to the end. After all, in ancient times, the concept of a husband as a wife was very deep-rooted, and returning to his parents' home as soon as he encountered something was definitely not a proper solution.
But when she thought about it, the situation was completely different from that of an ordinary couple.
Lu Qingrong also knows a little bit about this "flat wife", most of the flat wives in ancient times were the wives of businessmen who were away for a long time and married another wife, and there was rarely such a thing as a "flat wife" in the official eunuch family.
Although it is very common to accept concubines and aunts in the homes of noble eunuchs, "monogamy" is strictly observed. The position of the wife is unique and unshakable.
The lord of the He family, He Zhiyuan, lived in Shandong Province and participated in politics. Not to mention in Jinan City, even in the entire Shandong Province, the grade is not low.
Such a high-ranking official eunuch family actually wants to marry a divorced wife, which can be imagined to Yin Pingru, the wife, what a humiliation!
Yin Pingru couldn't accept it, and Lu Qingrong understood it very well.
So when Yin Pingru asked if she would like to go to her uncle's house with her, Lu Qingrong nodded vigorously and shouted crisply: "Yes!" Think! ”
Even if all the truth and feelings are put aside, just looking at the face of Yin Pingru, a mother who can only be missed in photos in the previous life, Lu Qingrong is absolutely unwilling to part with her!
Yin Pingru saw her daughter's little head nodding vigorously, looking like she was afraid that she would leave her behind, and her heart gradually warmed up.
Early the next morning, Yin Pingru first took Lu Qingrong to the main courtyard to ask his wife Feng for peace and resignation, and then led the maid Tinglan and Lu Qingrong to get into the carriage heading to Yin's house.
Lu Qingrong in the carriage refused to sit honestly, and every once in a while he reached out and lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage to a small corner, looking at the scenery on the street, a pair of big shining eyes turned around, and he always dragged Yin Pingru to watch with her.
Lu Qingrong is indeed a little interested in the street scene on the side of the road, and when he first arrived, he always wanted to see the difference between the street and the costume dramas on TV. But more of a desire to create a joyful atmosphere in the carriage and divert Yin Pingru's attention......
remembered that when I went with my mother to ask Mrs. He Feng to say goodbye, I met He Kai's eldest brother He Di's wife Yang at the door of the main house.
As soon as she heard that Yin Pingru planned to go back to Yin's house to live for a while, Yang's face showed a surprise that she couldn't hide, and she also heard some rumors about He Kai's recent troubles with his wife, and hurriedly persuaded Yin Pingru to "Don't be rash, think about it in the long run, nothing can't be solved" Yunyun.
Who knew that after entering the house with the Yang family to greet the Feng family, the Feng family was very calm when he heard that Yin Pingru was going back to her parents' house.
As if it were all too ordinary.
just told her to "ask my uncle's wife on my behalf", and never mentioned anything else.
Only after Yang went out with Yin Pingru, he kept persuading her, "Just stay for a few days in the past to relax, Qingrong will be about to turn one year old, and everyone will help her do a good job together."
Yin Pingru only had a wry smile at that time.
Lu Qingrong knew that Yin Pingru must be sad to be so cold by her mother-in-law Feng, so she tossed in the carriage, making her mother overwhelmed and thinking about anything else.
At this time, in the He Mansion, in the study of the outer courtyard, He Kai had just woken up and found that it was almost noon.
He wondered how he could be in the study.
I asked the maid Chunzhi next to me, only to know that he was drunk last night, and Yin Pingru ordered him to be sent over, and he secretly screamed in his heart!
His memories of last night were vague, fragmented, and incoherent.
Don't say what you shouldn't say, right?
He had to think like this, in the two years since he got married, Yin Pingru had never blushed at him, let alone driven him to the study. Although he used to sleep in the study often, it was all his own pleasure......
"Go and see if there's lunch over there." He Kai instructed Chunzhi.
"**Milk......**Grandma took the second lady to my uncle's house early this morning."
Yin Qinghua's family? Didn't he go to Beijing to take the exam? This is not a year-old to run to the door...... He Kai couldn't help but feel a little tired in his heart.
"Don't you come back for lunch?"
"The slave maid heard Sister Lijuan in the main courtyard say that in the morning, the ** milk went to ask Mrs. for peace, saying that she was going to live at her uncle's house for a few days......"
What the? He Kai also realized that something was wrong now, and hurriedly walked to the main courtyard.
"Mother! Pingru went back to her parents' house to live? As soon as He Kai entered the room, he asked anxiously.
"Well, it's not a big deal, I see that you are in a hurry." Feng Shi said unhurriedly, "Sit down, what do you look like in such a panic!" ”
"Mother, now is the critical time, if Pingru goes to live in her mother's house, her father will not agree to marry Mu Yun as a flat wife!"
"Hmph, I don't think so! She was unhappy, she said to leave, but the lord always said that she was a gentle and filial person, and now let him see what kind of relatives he set for you at the beginning! Feng Shi said a little proudly: "She walked easily, and she went back to her parents' house as soon as her brain was hot, but if she wants to come back again, she doesn't have to listen to you!" If you don't pick her up, how can she have the face to come back? So what are you worried about, can she still live with her brother and sister-in-law for the rest of her life? ”
He Kai also thought that she would eventually give in to herself, so she was persuaded by Feng Shi in a few words. But I always had a vague feeling that something wasn't quite right.
Yin Pingru's carriage walked for half an hour and arrived at Yin's house.
Yin Pingru's elder brother Yin Qinghua went to Beijing to take the entrance examination, and now only his sister-in-law Gu and his nephew Yin Zihao, who has just turned three, are in Jinan.
Yin Pingru sent someone over early in the morning to deliver a letter, saying that she wanted to come back and stay for a few days.
He Kai tossed about marrying a flat wife, but for some reason it had been spread all over Jinan City, and the Gu family naturally heard about it, so he probably guessed why Yin Pingru would come back at this time.
Hearing the mother-in-law who guarded the door say that Yin Pingru and they had arrived, Gu hurriedly took his son out to greet her.
Yin Pingru walked in front, and Tinglan followed behind with Lu Qingrong in her arms.
Lu Qingrong saw Gu and Yin Zihao coming towards him.
Gu Shi was wearing a beige cardigan printed gown, a white long skirt, his hair was simply tied in a bun, and his white and round face made people feel very comfortable.
As soon as Gu saw Yin Pingru, he came over and held her hands, without excessive enthusiasm, but with a natural closeness.
Lu Qingrong had already been accused of "uncle" and "aunt" many times in the carriage, and now that he finally saw Gu's, he shouted loudly: "Uncle! ”
"Yo, we've grown up a lot more!" said, pulling the little boy next to him, "Zihao, this is my aunt and your sister Qingrong." ”
"Auntie!" Yin Zihao's voice was much louder than Lu Qingrong's.
After calling his aunt, Yin Zihao looked at this sister who was much younger than him curiously with a pair of big eyes, and then said to Gu Shi in an equally loud voice: "Mother! My sister is so ugly! ”
