Chapter 4 There are many excuses

But I never thought that the third lady of Yongqing Houfu was blessed, and her first child was difficult to give birth, and she gave birth to a sister and went, leaving her daughter alone in the world.

In the next year, the prince of the Guogong Mansion married the current eldest lady Wang, Wang's father was originally the right attendant of the military department, and the official worshiped the four products, otherwise he would not let his daughter marry someone else to do the continuation.

However, the prince of this country is only in his early twenties, which is the age when he is full of elegance, although he is widowed, he only leaves a daughter, the daughter is not as good as the son, but the son is to inherit the family business and inherit the title, and the daughter is to marry out, that is, to prepare an extra dowry.

And this Wang Shangshu can be said to have been prosperous in the following years, and he has been rising all the way, and now he is the right prime minister of the dynasty.

Cheng Yiyao is young, her grandfather is stationed at the border all the year round, and her father is also a high-spirited age, where will she care about the details of the family, only her grandmother will care about one or two.

I have never been to a rented house for so many years, Cheng Yiyao is really ridiculous when she thinks about it now, she is a boudoir woman who is only six years old, so she naturally can't go out alone, but her "mother" doesn't know whether it is deliberate or unintentional, but she has always forgotten that she also has a grandfather's house in the Yongqing Marquis Mansion.

The Wang family has never taken her to the Yongqing Marquis Mansion over the years, and it is unknown how she said Cheng Yiyao before, last year it was inconvenient to go out with Brother Min, and this year her grandmother mentioned it again, Cheng Yiyao vaguely remembered that she responded, but she knew that in the end she still did not go to Cheng.

Cheng Yiyao knows that it is not possible to let her grandmother take her over, since her grandfather died, her grandmother has been eating fasting and chanting Buddha in the family temple all the year round, and her grandmother is not good at coming to the door like this, firstly, it is unreasonable, and secondly, she has slapped her daughter-in-law's face, and her life in the Guogong Mansion will be even more difficult, after all, she is her nominal "mother".

After the father, he was handed over by his grandfather to go to the border gate, and every year since then, this "mother" has been busy running the east and west, and has never been "idle" and has time to take Cheng Yiyao to the Yongqing Hou Mansion.

I heard Mama Tong say that in the past few years, the three aunts would come over every year, but the Guogong Mansion has always only sent some New Year's gifts politely, and the aunts have not come in recent years.

In her previous life, Cheng Yiyao had never seen several uncles in the Yongqing Hou Mansion, and she was restrained by the Wang family when she was at home, and later carried into the palace and became a concubine, so she couldn't even get out of the door of the palace, and even the disappearance of the outside was unknown.

Although she is a blood relative, how can she not be separated if she has never met, and I think a few uncles also have resentments against her and the Guogong Mansion.

I thought that as long as I got married, I would walk around my grandfather's house more, after all, I would not blame myself for being flesh and blood, but who would have thought that it would be like that, I have never seen each other in my life, and it is really ridiculous and sad to think about it.

If you don't blindly endure it, blindly thinking that as long as you marry out of the Chengguo Mansion, if you beg your grandmother or begging your father to take you to see him before his father leaves Beijing, what can't he do?

Although it was a bit of a slap in the face for letting her father take it, but she gave her enough face in her last life, what did she get?

Some people just have to make inches, the more you tolerate, the more she thinks you are weak and deceitful, and in the end, even such shameless means are used, Cheng Yiyao feels ridiculous, isn't she afraid of ruining the reputation of the Guogong Mansion and hindering her daughter's marriage?

Then she sneered again, she only has a daughter like Cheng Yiqi, what does the young lady of the other Guogong Mansion have to do with her, as long as her daughter marries into the Royal Palace, what can't she do, not to mention that her father and grandfather were not in Beijing at that time, and her grandmother was sick, so she naturally let her do whatever she wanted.

"Change clothes, I'm going to Shoukangzhai!" Cheng Yiyao didn't want to wait for a moment, even if she wouldn't go to her grandmother's house in order to avoid suspicion that her father would save time in the morning and dusk, but at noon, she would take time to go to her grandmother's house for lunch, and now it was almost noon, although she didn't know if she could meet it, but she couldn't wait for a moment now.

"Miss, you're still sick, and it's still snowing this day, why don't you wait for Ming'er to see if the snow stops?" An Ju persuaded.

"Change!" Cheng Yiyao's immature voice was resolute, and at this time, Mama Tong and An Zhu also heard the sound and entered the house.

An Ju's eyes for help looked at Mama Tong, Mama Tong gently pressed her hand to signal her to be calm, and took a step forward and said, "Miss, is this going out?" ”

"Changing clothes, I'm going to my grandmother's yard!" Cheng Yiyao looked at Mama Tong and repeated.

"The slave will change your clothes for you." Turning to An Ju, he said, "Bring Miss's red embroidered jacket and sable cloak." ”

Cheng Yiyao put on her clothes and went non-stop towards the Duchess of Guo's Shoukang Zhai.

Shou Kang Zhai and Cheng Yi Yao's Yao Jingxuan are just separated by a small plum forest, out of the gate of Yao Jingxuan, you can see the Shou Kang Zhai of the Duchess of Guo through the path in the plum forest.

Cheng Yiyao lived in the east wing of Shou Kang Zhai when she was young, and knew that she had another yard when she was five years old, but her grandmother was still reluctant to her, so she gave her the yard on the east side of Shou Kang Zhai, which was also close to Wang's yard, and she was convenient every morning and dusk, and she could often go to her grandmother's yard to accompany her.

Stepping into the courtyard door and bypassing the shadow wall is a hanging flower door, passing the hanging flower door along the hand verandah to the end is a small courtyard, passing the circular arch of the courtyard, is the inner courtyard where the duchess is located, only into the courtyard there is a maid servant Wan Fu saluting, the little maid at the door saluted and welcomed Cheng Yiyao into the house, and then a few steps across the bead curtain door to the east of the second room report: "Old lady Qi, the eldest lady has arrived." ”

"Come on in!" Before the words fell, two seventeen or eighteen-year-old maids had already greeted them, and these two were two of the eight big maids of the Duchess of Guo, Bi Tao and Bi Lian.

"Miss, the old lady heard that An Mei came to report that you were coming, but she was worried that it was broken, but it was frozen?" As he spoke, he had welcomed Cheng Yiyao into the room and took the cloak he had understood.

"Meet Grandmother!" Cheng Yiyao, as soon as she entered the house, she bowed to the Duchess Yingying, although she was young, her actions were extremely outstanding.

"Come on, come to the kang!" Duchess Guo got up and took Cheng Yiyao's hand and hugged her to the kang, "It's a cold day, why did you come out when you didn't get better?" ”

"My grandson misses my grandmother!" Cheng Yiyao smiled sweetly, and the whole person nested in her grandmother's arms, "I want to eat with my grandmother!" ”

"Hehe, okay, then you are here to talk to your grandmother, and when the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law come over, your grandmother will be busy, you have to be obedient." The Duchess smiled and scratched her granddaughter's petite nose.

"Well, Yao'er will be obedient!" Cheng Yiyao smiled happily.

At this time, a little maid came to report: "Old lady, the prince and the fifth master are coming here!" ”

"Oh? You guys are all in the mood today! The Duchess was happy, and turned to Bi Tao beside her, "You send someone to the door to greet her." ”

Bi Tao smiled and went out, and turned back when she went out, and it turned out that the two masters had already entered the door.

The first to come in was a man wearing a dark gray fur cloak, with a tall posture, exuding the charm of a mature man, and the maid who took off the cloak reached out and took it, and there was a blue bamboo brocade cotton robe inside, this person was Cheng Yiyao's father, Cheng Jingrui, the prince of the Guogong Mansion.

Followed by the fifth master Cheng Jinghao, as soon as he came in, he took off his black cloak and threw it at the maid on the side, and said with a smile: "Mother, it's still your warmth!" Hey? Our little Yaoyao is also here, we really have a heart! ”

Cheng Jingrui respectfully saluted his mother: "Meet my mother, the two of us happened to come back to see my mother!" ”

At this time, Cheng Yiyao was already standing in front of the kang and made a blessing to Cheng Jingrui: "Daughter to meet her father!" ”

Then he turned to Cheng Jinghao and said, "I've seen the fifth uncle!" ”

"Okay, okay, let's get rid of all these false courtesies, let's have dinner together!" Duchess Guo didn't wait for Cheng Jingrui to speak, so she pulled Cheng Yiyao and hugged her in her arms and smiled happily.

Cheng Jinghao said: "Didn't we come here for our mother's food, so we came back and said that the kitchen didn't have our food!" ”

The Duchess glared at her young son with a smile and said, "As long as you talk a lot, I can still starve you." ”
