After the dowry is returned, no matter how the husband and wife quarrel and snatch for money, no matter how sad and ashamed the old lady is, everything in the world has a cause and must have an effect, and it is no longer about longevity and purity. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mingjing instructed Sister-in-law Xia to continue to stare at Lin Xinhui, Mancang to stare at Ming Qing, and Mo'er to keep an eye on Xie Chengzhong, just waiting for the three of them to show clues.

Then the chief envoy and housekeeper of the princess's mansion were left to help sort out the ancestral house, and the old lady also sent Rui Gu and some old servants who were familiar with the situation.

The affairs of the ancestral house are arranged, the purpose of this trip is achieved, the weather is getting colder and more unbearable, listening to the outside of the Song Courtyard is full of hired people, Changsheng can not go out in the yard all day, I feel that I still sit in the rich and luxurious princess's mansion, or lean on the stove to laugh and eat snacks, or wear a luxurious fox fur to enjoy the plum is the most comfortable, so the two returned to Beijing.

When the carriage drove into the gate of Chang'an, it gradually snowed heavily, and when she entered the hanging flower gate of the princess's mansion, it was already white outside, and the warm sedan chair was carried directly to the corridor of the main courtyard, and she was carefully helped to go in.

In the yard, a red plum blossom is incomparably fresh, and a layer of white snow has fallen on it, and the white snow and red plum blossoms reflect each other, and the dark fragrance floats, and the world is absolutely beautiful.

Aunt Tai heard the report and greeted her: "Fortunately, you came back in time, we are still worried that you are blocked by the snow on the road, I have sent someone to tell your grandmother to let her rest assured, the princess has also sent someone to ask several times, hurry up and report to her, such a cold day, you are not allowed to go out again, and ......you will talk about it after you give birth."

Mingjing heard the words and sent someone to report to the Huai'an Palace, Changsheng listened to her chatter with a smile, went back to the house to take a bath and change clothes under the careful care of everyone, and then sat on the warm kang, sipping a cup of ginger jujube tea, and told Aunt Tai about the things she had encountered in the past few days. The sky is getting dark, the goose feathers and snow are getting more and more blowing, Ju Xiang went to the kitchen to arrange to eat a warm pot tonight.

When the aunt heard that the old lady offered to let her go back to observe the festival as the concubine of the Xie family, and the sisters lived with each other in the future, she immediately recited a Buddha, her expression was excited, and her face seemed to be sad and happy.

Changsheng and Mingjing looked at each other speechlessly, no matter how much glory and wealth there is in the princess's mansion, there is no husband's house to let her live at ease, since this is the case, let her go back, anyway, Wugong County is not far from Chang'an, just take her over to live in the future.

However, she can't be allowed to go back during this time, the matter between Ming Qing and Xie Chengzhong has not been resolved, in case something is revealed, I am worried that Ming and Qing will jump over the wall and take Aunt Tai as a hostage or hurt her to vent her anger.

Changsheng pulled her to be coquettish, and asked her to wait until she was born, and then go out of confinement, by then it would be half a year later, and the matter of the Ming and Qing Dynasties should be resolved.

Aunt Tai smiled and comforted: "Although I want to go back to observe the festival, I cherish my children and grandchildren more, so naturally I have to wait until you are out of confinement after giving birth, otherwise how to explain to your father?" Don't worry, as long as you have something to do in the future, or you can't be busy, I will come over to help, as long as you don't bother me. ”

The two of them just put their minds at ease, Aunt Tai didn't want to stay in the ancestral house all the time, she just wanted to have a legitimate concubine status, and she just wanted to observe the festival for her husband as a surviving person.

The snow has been falling, although it is not big, the road is slippery and difficult to walk, and the weather is getting colder and colder, Changsheng has already sent someone to pass the word, and Princess Ji is not allowed to come to see her in the past few days, and when the weather is fine, Princess Ji can't resist her daughter, and she doesn't want her to worry, so she agreed.

It was a happy day to stay at home, but Mingjing heard the news of Qin's mother, saying that she and her son's whole family were sold to a merchant's house in Yaozhou, and she ignored the dissuasion of her aunt and Changsheng, and took someone to Yaozhou in the snow.

Changsheng took advantage of his absence and asked Cheng Ziyu to inform Cheng Ziyu to come to the princess's mansion when the snow cleared. But the next day, when the snow was a little light, Cheng Ziyu came to the side door of the princess's mansion tightly, she came from the Xie Mansion in a small sedan chair, and the porter was explained in advance, so she was let into the mansion, and a housekeeper took her to see Changsheng.

Although Cheng Ziyu envied the gorgeous wealth of the princess's mansion, he was not yet surprised, his father used to be the prince's favorite minister, and after her mother felt that she had use value, she also took her in and out of the prince's mansion and some clan mansions a few times, and she was a person who had seen the glory and wealth.

But still step by step from envy to jealousy to frightened, this Princess Dexiao Mansion is more gorgeous and exquisite than the real princess's mansion, at this time the snow has not melted, the pavilions, carved railings and jade masonry, it is just like the Yaochi fairyland, come and go and be courteous and well-behaved with all kinds of house slaves, intuition between the two has been very different.

Fortunately, when she came, she changed into this new brocade embroidered dress and rabbit fur cloak made for her by Xie Fu embroidery, and also wore the gold jewelry given by the princess's mansion, otherwise, with her first time she saw Mingjing's down-and-out haggard and shabby appearance, I am afraid that she would not even be able to enter the corner gate of the princess's mansion.

Fortunately, she has always been very confident in her appearance, although she was physically and mentally traumatized due to the sudden disaster, but in the end, she was young and had a good foundation, and once she lived a good life, she quickly recovered her appearance.

During this time, she was raised with good soup and water in Xie Mansion, soaked in milk petals, and smeared with those good creams and creams, and a doctor who was proficient in gynecology conditioned her body and cured some unspeakable hidden, and she was gradually reborn with white skin and natural beauty.

Speaking in detail, after the tempering of suffering and the love affair between men and women, her youth and innocence have faded, but she has added a bit of charming charm and dusty flavor, which is more exciting than when she was in her twenties, which is her only confidence and confidence now.

She was led into the warm pavilion of Changsheng's daily activities, and everyone retreated except for Ju Xiang.

The warm fragrance in the warm pavilion is pleasant, elegant and fresh, a golden beast spits a thin line of white smoke in its mouth, and the ground is covered with a thick wool carpet, the flowers are gorgeous and chic, Cheng Ziyu believes that any antique jade on the ancient shelf of Nabo is enough for her to eat in this life.

She glanced at Changsheng sitting on the warm kang, and quickly lowered her head, first, she wanted to try to make a deferential appearance in the hope of gaining a little more sympathy, and second, she was afraid that she would be stimulated by Changsheng's luxurious and beautiful appearance, as well as her belly that was already slightly pregnant.

She was familiar with all kinds of etiquette, tried to suppress all kinds of emotions in her heart, and paid a big salute on the ground without flaw, and finally felt that the woman above who she once despised in her heart was now beyond her reach.

Changsheng glanced at her a few times, secretly thinking that it was difficult to give up on herself if she was really beautiful, no wonder she still wanted to be clear and pure at this point, hoping that she would not be too conceited or too ungrateful.

The voice was calm and unwavering: "Miss Cheng doesn't need to be polite, get up and sit." Cheng Ziyu thanked her, sat sideways on the pestle, Ju Xiang served tea, she intoxicated and took a sip of tea, how long has it been since she tasted such a good tea.

Raising her head, her eyes were already red, "Hearing that the princess was held, Ziyu didn't dare to rub it, as early as the day she saw her cousin, Ziyu wanted to come to see the princess, but her cousin said that the princess was riddled with trivial matters, and she was pregnant, so it was inconvenient to see outsiders, so she waited until today."

Princess Ziyumeng and her cousin were pitiful, and they were just out of suffering, and they really couldn't repay it, and they often hoped that the princess would not give up, and she could be a girl to serve the princess and her cousin with all her heart, so as to repay the princess's great kindness. ”

After speaking, he looked at Changsheng's belly, and said very sincerely: "The princess is now delicate and expensive, and she doesn't dare to have a little difference, and my cousin is willing to share the princess's worries with her humble body, but with the messenger, everything is done!" ”

Changsheng almost squirted out a sip of tea, this is to tell her clearly, it is inconvenient for you to have sex with your cousin when you are pregnant, instead of finding someone else to serve your cousin, it is better to find me, I am willing to share your worries!

She has no plans to find a woman for her husband after she becomes pregnant, and she will never have it for the rest of her life.

I don't give up on this, what is to be a girl to serve around, what is to share the princess's worries is to be a clear and clean girl, what is to serve the princess and cousin wholeheartedly, is it to warm the cousin's bed? If it weren't for the fact that the concubine couldn't take a concubine justifiably, I was afraid that he would have to propose to be a concubine.

If Mingjing was still a troubled concubine who was unable to continue her life half a year ago, and she was treated everywhere, and she couldn't see any hope for the future, would she have this thought? Now I'm just dazzled by the wealth of the princess's mansion.

Is she a purple jade match? I gave her silver, made clothes and jewelry for her, recuperated her body, and let her raise her back to her former beauty and delicateness, just so that she could sleep with her husband during her pregnancy?

I thought that she would be sensible after suffering so much, and she would know that she would be grateful. If that's the case, although the doctor said that she can't give birth anymore, Princess Dexiao has so much property in her name, she doesn't mind raising an idler.

What's more, Cheng Ziyu is young and beautiful, maybe there is a widower with children under her knees who is willing to marry, as long as she knows how to cherish and live with each other sincerely, it is also a way out.

But she is obviously not, she still wants to climb up the pole, while enjoying the glory and wealth she brings, and at the same time coveting her husband with peace of mind by repaying the kindness, why should she?

Changsheng sneered lightly, as if surprised and sarcastic: "My cousin is willing to be a servant, but our husband and wife don't dare to have a reputation for using our relatives as slaves, not to mention that we don't lack slaves."

Besides, even if the cousin is willing to sell herself as a slave, the slave who can enter the princess's mansion must be innocent and innocent, not to mention that the body is innocent and innocent, and the cousin is not qualified to be a guilty person. Speaking of which, since he was exiled, he couldn't easily leave the place of exile, but his cousin secretly returned to Beijing, if he was determined to pursue it, I am afraid it would be a big trouble, and he would have to be repatriated to the place of exile at the worst! ”

Cheng Ziyu's face was flushed, tears were swirling, but her hands were clenched tightly, and she hated it very much, she actually said that she was not qualified to be a slave for her! He also humiliated his innocence, and threatened himself!

But what she said was the truth, according to the law, she couldn't leave the penal colony, but the officials didn't sue the people and didn't hold them accountable, and no one cared about being a weak woman, but if someone really denounced and no one was willing to bail out, her fate would be to be repatriated to that nightmarish place.

Thinking of the humiliating and difficult days, thinking of the rough men and ruffians who pushed her into her house after her mother received the money, she shuddered when it was clear that the house was warm.

Immediately left the seat and knelt down: "Princess, Ziyu is wrong, please let Ziyu go, that place is not for people at all, Ziyu has only a dead end when she goes, Ziyu is willing to marry others, it is all up to the princess to arrange!" ”

Changsheng took a sip of hot red bean juice with honey, she was smart, she guessed why she was angry at once, and the family affairs arranged by the princess's mansion must be pasted with a dowry, and her future husband will not dare to despise her, she also knows that with herself and Mingjing, she will never arrange any unbearable family affairs for her.

"Don't you know? The doctor who recuperated your body said that you can't give birth anymore, and you can't regenerate for the rest of your life. ”

Cheng Ziyu sighed, sat on the ground in pain, his face was extremely ashen, thinking of the sins he suffered, tears fell like rain, and the life was a little passable, who would marry a woman who could not give birth and was a sin and lost her innocence? It is impossible for Princess Dexiao's Mansion to support herself for a lifetime, and there is no hope in this life?

"Say, how am I going to arrange for you? I could have given you a dowry to get married, but you can't give birth anymore, who wants you? Is it possible to cheat on marriage? Even if you are a concubine, no one wants it.

We went back to Wugong County some time ago and mentioned you to the old lady, and she was very sympathetic to your plight and seemed to miss you a little. ”

Cheng Ziyu's expression changed greatly, and Changsheng said lightly: "Don't worry, we didn't say a word about what we shouldn't say, we just said that you were sold by your mother to a merchant as a concubine, and your innocent reputation was preserved." ”

Cheng Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel a layer of cold sweat on her forehead, if Old Madam Xie knew that she had once sold herself to make a living, even if she was forced by her mother-in-law, she would never see her again.

Although the truth is hidden from the old lady now, what future does she have in the future for a woman who has lost her innocence and cannot give birth and is helpless?

Thinking that the old lady used to love herself, she was that person, as long as she did not touch her interests, did not violate her principles, was fair, and cared about her reputation, as long as she was sensible, she would never be bad in her hands.

She raised her head and begged: "Ziyu used to be deeply loved by the old lady, and the old lady is also the only elder of Ziyu now, I am willing to go to the old lady's side to do my filial piety!" ”

Changsheng nodded: "You go back first, wait until I discuss it with the horse, others are not in the mansion, you wait patiently." ”

Cheng Ziyu didn't dare to say more, kowtowed and went back respectfully.

Wait until you sit in the sedan chair to understand that you are taking yourself too seriously, these days are too comfortable, comfortable to forget the difference in identity, so you are still thinking about other things, in fact, people are just living too comfortably, like a kitten and a puppy to tease themselves.

If my cousin is really interested in himself, why hasn't he come to see him once in Xie Mansion for this period of time? If he really wanted to, he would never hide and not be present today, he was too conceited and beautiful, and he believed too much in the previous affection.

And although Zhou Changsheng's mouth is too vicious, what he said is also right, he treats his guilty body and loses his innocence, why did he enter the princess's mansion? Even if she wants to be a slave, she is not qualified, and taking refuge in the old lady as a relative of the Xie family may be the best way out for her now.

Although she can't enter the princess's mansion, she can justifiably go back to the ancestral house of the Xie family, I heard that this ancestral mansion was actually returned to Zhou Changsheng by the emperor, she lives there, and she is still a person from Princess Dexiao's mansion.

She doesn't have to be displaced anymore to live a helpless life, no one will bully her anymore, and she is not afraid of being reported by someone to return to Beijing without permission. The old lady is not very old, and her body is also tough, and she can at least live a stable and full life for more than ten years.

Only those who have gone through the suffering of exile and helplessness can truly understand how rare this kind of stability and warmth is.

What's more, the old lady is shrewd and capable, thoughtful, as long as she serves her wholeheartedly and honors her, maybe she will arrange her life for the rest of her life. (To be continued.) )
