Yao Yiwen greeted Pei Mingzhao at the door.

Yong'an Hou is the first emperor to be the crown prince when he brought up the military generals in the palace, after the first emperor succeeded to the throne, in the northwest and set up a military exploits, the first emperor immediately sealed the title, after the death of the first emperor, the Pei family was not very favored for a while, and later because of the invasion of the Marquis of Yong'an came forward, and also first for four or five years, large and small battles fought dozens of battles, the Pei family also became the emperor's relied on the general, the old marquis was injured when fighting against the war, and then died, Pei Ming Zhao inherited the Marquis of Yong'an, the official document of the lord was handed over by him to the Ministry of Rites.

Pei Mingzhao became a marquis at a young age, and with the emperor's trust in the Pei family, he will definitely have a bright future in the future.

Seeing the people on the gatehouse hurriedly entering the courtyard, Yao Yiwen stepped forward a few steps, and when he walked out of the door, he saw Pei Mingzhao dismounting.

Pei Mingzhao was only in his early twenties, his eyebrows were thick and black and long, his eyes were very bright, his jaw had clear edges and corners, and he pursed his lips, revealing a bit of calmness and restraint.

Yao Yiwen stepped forward to salute, and the two of them went all the way to the study.

Sitting down in the house, the subordinate immediately brought water up, Pei Mingzhao picked up the tea and drank the water without saying a word, and Yao Yiwen waited for Pei Mingzhao to speak.

Pei Mingzhao's eyebrows raised slightly, "Lord Yao has received a thank you gift from the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion?" ”

Yao Yiwen immediately remembered that the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion was picking up Wanning outside the city, and the Marquis of Yong'an came for this matter? The worry in his heart finally happened.

"There have been a lot of gossip in Beijing recently, and I came to clarify with Lord Yao that in Taixing County, I went to Yao's Zhuangzi in order to save the Zhongyi Hou Shizi, and fortunately there was Yao's family to help. Later, I learned that it was Miss Yao Qi who helped. ”

When it comes to what his daughter did in Taixing, he should have a sense of pride and pride, his eldest daughter quietly saved the son of Zhongyi Hou.

But for this matter. He only had the surprise and doubts he had when he first heard it, and the confusion and shame he felt now.

What's going on.

Looking at Yao Yiwen's expression, Pei Mingzhao remembered the rumors he had heard in the past few days that Master Yao San did not adopt his eldest daughter in Taixing. When he heard that Miss Yao Qi had come to Beijing, he was a little happy in his heart, he was about to meet the smart Miss Yao so soon, but he didn't expect to hear such words, Miss Yao Qi was not accepted into the house.

Miss Yao Qi's calm expression suddenly appeared in his mind. As if she would not be afraid no matter what happened, he still wondered how a twelve-year-old young lady could do this. Now the truth is revealed, without the care of the elders, they were thrown into the clan like that, so they took care of each other with the elders in the second room of the Yao family.

If you are not smart, you are not strong. If you don't take care of yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it well today.

How many ups and downs are there in that calmness. How much reproach has to be received to practice.

Thinking of this, Pei Mingzhao couldn't help frowning.

A twelve-year-old girl should be protected by her parents, but Yao Yiwen raised her eldest daughter like this.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

Yao Yiwen's official reputation is not bad, although the servants of this dynasty are different from several others, they are just decorations, but Yao Yiwen is also a jinshi and has done a good job in learning. He also has the ability to never forget, and he is a treasure of the official department. It can't be to the point where you don't even care about your own flesh and blood.

That's it, but he also takes the credit for helping the Marquis of Zhongyi on himself.

Hearing her mother go back and talk about Mrs. Yao's actions, she didn't seem to regard Miss Yao Qi as her own daughter, and even had a lot of complaints when she mentioned the eldest daughter of the Yao family.

When he didn't know about these things, he asked people to send a name post to Yao's house, and later learned that he didn't want to come to the door, so after thinking about it, it was better to make it clearer.

Pei Mingzhao glanced at Yao Yiwen and stood up, "I left in a hurry from Taixing, and I haven't seen Old Lady Yao. ”

Yao Yiwen suddenly felt as if he had been drenched in a basin of cold water.

It was a misunderstanding, and he knew it for a long time.

It was because the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion didn't say it very clearly at the beginning, but just mentioned Taixing, and they naturally thought of their father.

At that time, as long as the loyal and righteous princes were mentioned, they were all very glorious.

Soon, it was rumored that his father had helped, and he met many colleagues in the yamen, and everyone congratulated him.

Later, although he knew that it was Wanning who really helped, he was not embarrassed to explain that it was not the father who helped but the daughter.

How can you casually mention the daughter who is not out of the cabinet in front of people.

Now that Pei Mingzhao said it, he couldn't help but blush, as if he deliberately took the credit for his daughter.

Yong'an Hou came to Yao's house for this matter?

Just to make it clear?

is obviously his own daughter, and now he has a chance, but he doesn't have a light on his face.

Wan Ning is young, thoughtful and steady, and he has heard such words many times recently.

But when it came to this, he didn't know how to answer.

Could it be that in the past four years, the daughter who was not angry in his heart suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he could never have imagined that the daughter he was not optimistic about was praised by everyone.

Pei Mingzhao did not stay to greet Yao Yiwen, but directly resigned from the Yao family, and the Yao family didn't even have time to send snacks.

Yao Yiwen looked at Pei Mingzhao's back and returned to the inner house in a trance.

The next person came to say, "Master, the old lady invites you to come over." ”

Yao Yiwen nodded and looked at the next person, "I don't need you to follow, I'll go to the house and change my clothes and go over." ”

The little maid and the maid retreated.

Yao Yiwen walked in the garden, and unconsciously walked to the courtyard where Wan Ning once lived.

This is the place chosen by the Shen family, not far from the main house where they originally lived, the Shen family specially painted the outer wall of the courtyard into pink, the pink small courtyard, which is planted with many flowers and trees, Shen said that the courtyard where the young lady lives should be a little more graceful, and also mentioned the Shen family's embroidery building in Yangzhou, sighed, "It would be good if there was an embroidery building to live." ”

As a result, grapes were planted in the yard, and once Wanning climbed on the grape trellis, which frightened the nurse and the subordinates, and a young lady was so bold.

Yao Yiwen remembered what Wan Ning said, "In four years. Did my father go into the courtyard to have a look? ”

Yao Yiwen involuntarily stopped.

The courtyard seems to be very quiet, the stone steps are clean, and everything is as good as before. It's just less lively.

In the past, when Wanning was in the yard, she was followed by four maids and six mothers-in-law, and no matter what time she was, she was shuttling back and forth.

Just as the door of the courtyard was open, Yao Yiwen stepped in.

The small courtyard was no longer what he remembered, a few flowers and trees were standing there, and grass was growing all around. Only the green bamboo next to it is still swaying in the wind, which adds a bit of depression.

The home has undergone several repairs in recent years, and the courtyard where Shen lived has been renovated and converted into his study in the backyard. Wan Ning didn't move here, and the house was dilapidated in many places from the outside.

The trellis is long gone.

He told Wan Ning in front of his eldest brother that the place where she lived was still the same as before, and it was carefully cleaned by his subordinates. In fact, there are no more people living here......

Yao Yiwen wanted to go into the house to have a look. But suddenly he heard a voice coming from the main house.

"Since Miss Seven left, the people who followed Miss Seven were all sent to Zhuangzi, and only I can stay thanks to you taking care of me."

Then a familiar voice said, "You know." ”

Yao Yiwen frowned and listened, the voice was Xu's eldest daughter-in-law who was in charge of chores in Zhang's yard.

"So these meals are my honor to you."

Xu's daughter-in-law was very proud, "Miss Seventh is gone, and you all lost your errands." The big girl in the yard marries and sends away...... I don't know about those people. I walked closer to you, and then I entrusted the steward to leave you, and someone must do the work at home, and you went to the handyman room at that time, but now you are not going to the door, and the work is not tired, and you take a lot more than those medium maids every month, and you should be content. ”

The man hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, but he also sent me another errand to clean this yard...... You say, what do I do with only one pair of hands, in case both sides are not done well, wouldn't it be blamed to come down, so I will consult with you. ”

Xu's daughter-in-law laughed, "On weekdays, I see that you are also a clever person, how can you be stupid now, Cuixia in the wife's room is going to get married at the end of the month, so I gave you an errand to let you go to Kouzi Hutong to help decorate the yard, you can't do this errand well, offend Cuixia, don't think about any good errands in the future." ”

"I naturally know this, and I will never dare to slack off," he said after a pause, "but when Miss Seven came back and saw the appearance here, I was also punished, and I asked you to come here just to let you tell Mrs. that I will either clean up Miss Seven's yard or go to the Kouzi Hutong, and only do one thing." ”

"And you pushed the errand out like this," Xu's daughter-in-law sneered, "What time is it?" Why don't you have eyes? ”

"Cui Xia's family affairs are pointed out by the master, and they are assigned to the housekeeper's son."

"Which is more important?"

"Besides, can Miss Seven come back?"

"If you don't make it clear, you won't understand, you're the only one in this family."

"If I could come back, I would have come back a long time ago, and I would have waited until today."

"Don't look at it as a concubine, it's not as good as a concubine, the old man hates the Shen family, and treats Miss Seven as the Shen family, how can I take her back if I don't have time to throw her away, Mrs. Six took Miss to Beijing, and we were busy up and down for a while, if Miss Seven can really go home, can you still leave this matter to you alone?"

"It's just a walk, when the lord goes down, you let people walk past the lord with something, that's the meaning, it's over, what the lord wants is just a face, not just for outsiders to see, in front of our subordinates, you can't say that you have treated your daughter badly, otherwise what will become of the outside? When we are subordinates, we must know when to help the master save face, when to do things with all our hearts, when to deal with perfunctory, no one regards the master outside as a serious master, what are you doing so seriously? ”

"You don't know the whole inner house, this broken yard is the boundary where cats and dogs have nothing to, a few days ago, the old man of the green kite died, she didn't have time to go home, and I saw the paper burned here, what are you doing to clean up? Not in vain? ”

As soon as Xu's daughter-in-law said this, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Xu's daughter-in-law and Mrs. Qiu were stunned for a moment.

"Sir." It took a long time for Xu's daughter-in-law to react, and she hurriedly took Mrs. Qiu to salute.

"Someone," Yao Yiwen suddenly roared, "Someone is coming, ......"

The sound echoed in the small courtyard, but no one came to it.

The whole yard seems to be a forgotten place.

A gust of wind blew outside, and the bamboo rustled, as if mocking him.

Everyone in the family knew that he would not bring Wanning back.

Everyone knows that he didn't take his eldest daughter seriously, and he didn't even treat flesh and blood as well as a maid.

Everyone knows that he mentioned Wan Ning just to save face, he didn't have this eldest daughter in his heart for a long time, and he had long felt that Wan Ning was no different from the Shen family.

Li Yushi, Zhongyi Houfu, Yong'an Hou, eldest brother, Wanning and the descendants of the family.

Everybody knows.

But he still taught his wife and children with a straight face.

are all lying to him and playing him like a fool.

I waited for a long time, but no one came out.

Yao Yiwen turned around and walked out of the courtyard, and walked for a long way before he met the next person, his eyes widened, "Let someone tie up Xu's daughter-in-law." ”

Looking at the red bloodshot eyes of the old man, his expression was hideous and terrifying, and the subordinate suddenly shuddered.

What's the matter, how could the gentle and elegant old man on weekdays become like this.

"Sir, you say...... Is it the daughter-in-law in Mrs. Xu's yard? Mrs......"

"I can't take care of the people in my wife's yard?" Yao Yiwen felt hot blood rush to his forehead.

The subordinate was already so frightened that his lips trembled, and he trembled: "No, no, the slave and the maid will do it, and the slave and the maid will go and ......."

Looking at the people running in a panic, Yao Yiwen only felt that there was a breath of air rushing around in his body, and he was anxious to find an exit.

Before the whole family was stirred up, Yao Yiwen had already strode into Zhang's yard.

Zhang is teaching Brother Huan to clap and sing.

Seeing the subordinate who entered the door in a panic, the smile on his face suddenly put away, and he subconsciously hugged Brother Huan on the ground in his arms, "What's wrong?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang saw Yao Yiwen enter the door with a sinking face, she already knew what was going on in the study, the master was afraid that he would lose face in front of Yong'an Hou, but he didn't expect Yong'an Hou to speak without concealment, so that the old man would completely die to Wanning.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Zhang pretended to know nothing.

Brother Huan saw Yao Yiwen and wanted to step forward, but was pulled by Zhang's family, for fear that Yao Yiwen would accidentally spread his anger on Brother Huan.

The nurse stepped forward to take over Brother Huan.

Zhang poured tea and served it to Yao Yiwen, and said softly: "The old man is angry, if there is anything to do slowly, there will always be a way to solve it." ”

As soon as Zhang's voice fell, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Yao Yiwen, "You said you went to see Wanning today, did you go?" ”

How to ask her about it.
