Chapter 293
Early the next morning, Yujia came to the Jin Palace, asking to see Yulan. Yulan personally went to the second gate and welcomed the second sister in. After Brother Ye'er's incident, the two sisters became closer, and Yujia bluntly said that she wanted to go back with Yulan to see her eldest sister.
The eldest lady has been in a bad mood recently, and she has not been able to forgive the Ding family so far, so Yu Jia doesn't dare to go back to her parents' house for a while, for fear of being looked at by the eldest lady. But with Yulan, there will be no such problem. Yulan is the princess and princess, and the eldest wife is the mother-in-law, and she has to give her enough face.
Yulan also had this plan, so Yujia drank a cup of tea, and then took the maid and Yujia to Yang's mansion together. In the carriage, Yu Jia and Yu Lan had the same opinion: "The matter of the eldest sister returning to her parents' house is full of strangeness!" ”
When he arrived at the gate of the Yang Mansion, Yu Jia lifted the curtain and took a look, and said in surprise: "It's the carriage of the Hou Mansion of Ji'an!" Yulan also took a look, and saw a gorgeous carriage parked in front of the Yang Mansion with gold ornaments and silver embroidered belts, and the hanging down was Qingman, which was a regulatory treatment that only the princes, marquis and first-class and second-class officials could enjoy.
Yu Jia also saw it: "This is the eldest brother-in-law who came to pick up the eldest sister in person!" ”
The carriage of the two stopped at the second gate, and the pregnant grandmother was waiting for them at the weeping flower gate. Seeing Yulan and Yujia getting out of the car, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "The second aunt and the seventh aunt are here!" ”
Yulan and Yujia were both a little surprised.
The eldest grandmother said apologetically: "The eldest brother-in-law just came, saying that he wanted to take the eldest sister back to her parents' house." The eldest aunt was talking to the eldest brother-in-law about this, and she couldn't be free for a while, so she asked me to come out to greet the two aunts! Grandma Qi, don't blame us for being sloppy! ”
Originally, the two aunts and grandmothers went back to their parents' house, and the eldest grandmother was of the same generation, so it was not wrong for her to come out to greet her, but Yulan was carrying the title of princess on her back. That's different. So under normal circumstances, when Yulan comes back, the eldest lady comes out to pick it up in person.
Yulan naturally does not account for these subsections. The eldest grandmother was generous, not only showing apologies, but not too humble and stiff, Yulan liked her very much. smiled and took the grandmother's hand and said: "What is this, it is also worth talking about sister-in-law, you are now a double person, you should be careful!" ”
The eldest grandmother said with a smile: "Moms say that I have a good pregnancy and a stable fetus." Mother still detains me in the house all day long, I am bored, but it happens that the two aunts and grandmothers are back, if you don't come back, I can't come out for this trip, but I should thank you. ”
Talking and laughing to go inside, the second gate is some distance from the main courtyard Yiningju, usually to make a sedan chair, listen to the words of the grandmother, the two accompanied her to walk in, anyway, it is also late autumn, the weather is neither hot nor cold, walk around.
It stands to reason that I should go first to meet the old lady, but when I walked this way, I had to pass Yiningju, and when I walked to the door, Yulan and Yujia happened to hear a sharp voice from inside: "You Ji'an Hou Mansion has no rules like this, I will never let Mu'er go back and suffer your anger again!" You tell your mother-in-law to let her die of this heart! ”
Yulan and Yujia glanced at each other, but it was not the voice of the eldest lady, and the two of them did not pause, and their faces did not show it at all. The grandmother also pretended not to hear.
Everyone should talk about it and laugh, but everyone understands that at this time, Lu Zhongheng, the Marquis of Ji'an, wanted to come and pick up Yumu back, but he ate the eldest lady's row.
This time, Ji'an Hou was at a loss, and the eldest lady did not agree with Yumu to go back, and she was indeed on the side of reason.
Several people had their own thoughts, and after walking a few steps, there was a sound of footsteps, and the maids looked back and said, "Master Hou is here!" ”
I saw Ji Anhou wearing a navy blue robe, led by a maid, and walked from behind. The three ladies stopped and waited for him to approach, and then greeted him: "Brother-in-law! ”
Ji Anhou is thirty years old, his face is still like a crown of jade, and his appearance is very good, at this moment he is gentle and elegant, without the slightest embarrassment and shame of being scolded by the eldest lady, and politely greeted them.
Yu Jia and Yu Mu moved around a lot, and there were more opportunities to meet Ji Anhou, and said with a smile: "Where are you going, eldest brother-in-law?" ”
Lu Zhongheng said with a smile: "I'm here to pick up the insider's home, and I just finished meeting my mother-in-law, so I'm going to see the insider." ”
"Oh!" Such an answer is to be expected. Yu Jia raised his hand and said, "Then the eldest brother-in-law, please first!" ”
Ji Anhou nodded, he is a foreign man, and he is really not suitable to stay with the three female dependents of the inner house. was about to leave, but he stopped and said to Yulan and the others: "Your eldest sister has suffered a lot of grievances on weekdays, and the second aunt, seventh aunt and younger siblings are free, so you might as well come and see her more and talk to her." Lu is grateful! "Say it as a courtesy.
Yulan and the others avoided it one after another, and they all said: "This is as it should be!" ”
Lu Zhongheng left.
Yumu lives in a small courtyard behind Yiningju. Yuxin was here before she left the pavilion, Yumu suddenly went back to her parents' house, the eldest lady didn't get the news in advance, and there was no place to place her for a while, and it happened that the yard where Yuxin used to live was cleaned by the maids and women all the year round, so Yumu was placed here.
As soon as Lu Zhongheng entered the house, Yu Mu sent all the maids and mothers-in-law away. "Master Hou!" She struggled to get down to the ground to salute Lu Zhongheng.
Lu Zhongheng is a very old-fashioned and polite person, and he has always been strict with these etiquette requirements. But seeing Yumu like this today, he couldn't help but take two steps and hold her down: "Your body is heavy, don't come down!" Between our husband and wife, we don't need so many courtesies! ”
Now he is really touched, his wife has always been respectful to him, virtuous and generous, and has never taken care of his back house in an orderly manner, and there has never been a slightest mistake. But he has always been estranged from his wife because of his mother. Looking back now, I really feel sorry for her.
He sat down on the edge of Yumu's bed. Yu Mu said softly: "Master Hou, you have been wronged!" Mother didn't embarrass you too much! "What did they take in the maid without Yumu's consent, and sure enough, the two of them deliberately played tricks to deceive Wen and Lu Er's wife.
Yu Mu took precautions in the Hou Mansion, and in the end she still asked Mrs. Lu Er to do her hands and feet in the medicine, but fortunately, Yu Mu was very careful, and she had a mother-in-law who understood pharmacology waiting by her side, and she found out that the decoction was made by someone at the first time. Yumu is by no means as easy to handle as Mrs. Lu Er thinks.
It's not that she can't cope with this situation, but now that she is six or seven months pregnant, it is too tiring to fight with Mrs. Lu Er, even if she can win, I am afraid that it will not be good for the fetus in her womb. She thought it would be better to go back to her parents' house to raise the baby. After discussing with Lu Zhongheng, it was Lu Zhongheng who came up with such an idea.
It's not impossible for Yumu to go back to her parents' house, but if she proposes it herself, it will really offend the old lady of the Wen family, and it will be difficult for Yumu to gain a foothold in the future when she returns to the Hou Mansion after giving birth to a child. This trick can be resolved, but Lu Zhongheng loses a little reputation.
That's why Yumu said that he was wronged. This kind of thing, Yu Mu didn't dare to tell the eldest wife, thinking that the eldest lady would not have anything good to say about Lu Zhongheng.
Lu Zhongheng smiled faintly: "As long as our child is born safely, this grievance is nothing!" You just have to be born in your mother's house to raise the baby, and when I go back to the Hou Mansion, find a way to take care of the main courtyard! Hmph, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly! His face sank, and there was a majesty of a superior in his body.
Yumu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, after marrying her for so many years, a mean mother-in-law, a vicious concubine, and a mother who dragged her feet, how much thought did she spend before she brought her husband's heart over. To be able to get to this point, she feels that all the hardships she has endured in the past are worth it.
Yu Mu hurriedly said: "Master Hou, don't do this." You are the lord of the marquis, and what you have to do is the big thing outside, how can you put your hand into the inner house and leave a solid mouth for people. Please leave the affairs of the inner house to me, when I give birth to a child, I will sort out the personnel of the main house, and please believe in me! ”
Lu Zhongheng saw that his wife was still thinking about him like this, and he was moved, and couldn't help but hold her hand and said, "It's all up to you!" You can take care of it in your mother's house, and then move back when you have a baby! When the time comes, I will naturally propose to my mother to help you get back the right to be a steward! ”
Yu Mu nodded, and said with some anxiety: "If it's ......"
Lu Zhongheng knew what she wanted to say, and said to her very seriously: "You can rest assured." Even if this child is not a son, we can still have a child. You're still young, and one day we'll be able to give birth to a son!" ”
Yu Mu listened to his assurance, and couldn't help but burst into tears for a while.
Yulan and Yujia went to Songhetang to meet the old lady. The old lady is now more and more lacking in energy, and spends most of her time in bed. After all, when she got older, the medicine stone was no longer of much use to her, it was just a matter of staying up for time. She is becoming more and more unable to manage the affairs of the house.
I was very happy to see the two granddaughters coming together, and asked the maid to bring snacks for them to eat, and complained that Yulan refused to bring Sister Zhu to show her.
The child is too young, and Yulan is reluctant to let her take the car. She smiled and promised the old lady that she would bring her great-granddaughter to show her next time, and the old lady stopped nagging.
The old lady couldn't say a few words to them, and the two hurriedly retired and went to the eldest lady, thinking that the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law must have a lot to say, so they talked about the eldest lady for a while, and the eldest lady was now busy with the marriage of the second young master.
The eldest master chose a family affair for the second young master, and the eldest lady was too lazy to interfere and would not object, just waiting to see the eldest master's jokes. The eldest master can set this family business for the second young master, and then the six ceremonies from "acceptance" to "personal welcome" are powerless for him, the eldest master, and he has to hand it over to the eldest lady to handle it.
The eldest lady was naturally unwilling, but the old lady came back, and the eldest lady didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she could only take it as if she had swallowed a fly. One of the husband and wife didn't want to ask each other to handle it, and the other didn't want to take over this matter at all, so it is conceivable that the second young master's marriage was naturally bumpy.
The eldest lady originally wanted to ask the eldest lady to invite Mrs. Gongshizi of Korea, that is, the sister-in-law of the second wife, to be a matchmaker, but the eldest lady took it upon herself to directly invite a Mrs. Hanlin from the seventh grade, and the eldest lady was angry...... After a few months of procrastination, the wedding date was finally set, and it was February next year.
Since the fourth master's family moved into the Yang Mansion, the fourth wife has been a little childish, and she is even more mismatched with the eldest wife.
After chatting for a while, I went to the backyard to see Yumu after the last day.
Yumu met Lu and saw such a thing, the two of them naturally comforted with good words, but Yulan and Yujia were extremely smart, and no one persuaded Yumu to move back, the three sisters talked and laughed, and exchanged parenting scriptures, Yulan left the palace for a long time, and was very worried about her daughter, so she went to sit with Mrs. Five, and then went home.
Yu Jia went to the second wife.
Yulan returned home, entered the house and went to see her daughter first, and saw her daughter sleeping in the warm pavilion with a little red face, so she put her heart back.
The nurse was called outside and asked about the child's breastfeeding, and the child was told that after she left, the child had eaten milk twice, and urinated again, and felt that there was no problem, so she took a needle and thread, and sat under the south window of the warm pavilion to make small clothes for the child. When I looked up, I could see my daughter sleeping soundly.
The baby is still wearing clothes made of embroidery in the house, and some are clothes sent by several sisters, and the eldest sister, second sister and fourth sister have sent some old clothes worn by their own children - this custom is still there until modern times, and it is said that it is better for children to wear old clothes worn by others.
Sister Zhu'er's little clothes and pants are very cute and beautiful, the materials are Shu brocade, carved silk, Songjiang cloth, and imported from Goryeo, imported from Fusang, Yulan estimates that the child grows up fast, and she can't wear a lot of clothes before she has time to put on her body. What a waste, Yulan doesn't think it's necessary!
Yulan told Ye Yichen about this idea, and Ye Yichen looked at her with a kind of "Are you the child's mother", making her feel that she had done something bad that hurt heaven and reason, and she would never dare to mention it from now on!
As for Yulan, who is a mother, the little dress before pregnancy has not been made until now...... Yulan also felt embarrassed!
I'm really sorry for my daughter.
After becoming a mother, Yulan found that she couldn't tolerate anything except children in her heart, and Ye Yichen's status seemed to have declined. In addition, she found that Ye Yichen seemed to be the same, and her status in his heart had probably declined, but Yulan was not jealous at all.
As soon as she did the needlework, Yulan felt that time passed very quickly, and before she had embroidered a pattern, Ye Minwen came in after school to say goodbye. Since having a younger sister, Ye Minwen has not had this freshness until now, and he can't even care about playing with his companions, so he rushed back to greet his mother after the school.
The most important thing is to look at my sister!
Hearing that his sister was still sleeping, he tiptoed into the warm pavilion, and Yulan waved at him and told him that he didn't need to salute. Ye Minwen snuggled up to Yulan's side, lowered her voice and asked her, "Mother, why does your eldest sister always sleep?" She was sleeping when I came in the morning and she was still sleeping when I came in the evening? ”
Yulan explained to him with a smile: "Children are like this, the older they get, the less they feel!" When Sister Zhu is a little older, she won't sleep endlessly every day like now. ”
"Oh!" Ye Minwen nodded as if he didn't understand. "Can I go and see my sister?"
Yulan smiled and said, "Okay! Just don't wake up your sister! According to the memory of her previous life, Yulan asked the craftsman to make an ellipsoidal crib, like a very beautiful basket, and Sister Zhu usually slept in it, and the guardrails around her were very high, and she was not afraid of falling out of bed.
Ye Minwen is very rare, and he can't wait to become a few years younger and lie on the bed. He looked at Sister Zhu for a while, and wanted to reach out and touch her little face, but he couldn't reach it through the railing, Yulan covered his mouth and smiled, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud for fear of waking up his daughter.
Ye Yichen is back.
He also entered the warm pavilion directly like a son.
Yulan put down her needle and thread and curtsied: "The prince is back!" ”
Ye Minwen saw that his father was back, and hurriedly stood aside in an orderly manner. The older he gets, the stricter Ye Yichen demands from him.
Ye Yichen waved his hand, telling her not to wake up her daughter, came to the side of the crib, and saw that her daughter was sleeping with a little red face, and her little fist was clenched next to her little mouth. The child is already full moon, his skin is slowly becoming white, and there is a faint beautiful outline like Yulan between his eyebrows, but his nose is high and straight, very similar to Ye Yichen.
Ye Yichen still had a cold face when he faced his son, and his heart softened when he saw his daughter. After looking at the crib for a long time, I couldn't help but poke my daughter's incredibly tender little face.
The little one pouted dissatisfiedly, his little fist open and clenched.
Sleep well!
The corners of Ye Yichen's mouth hooked up with a pleasant arc.
called Zhao's mother and the nurse to come in and look at Sister Zhu'er, and the husband and wife took Ye Minwen out and went outside to talk. Yulan sent Ye Minwen back to the east wing to change clothes, and came over for dinner after a while, and the little maid served tea. Ye Yichen said to her: "Tomorrow, you will back up the gift and send it to the palace!" ”
Yulan raised her eyebrows: "What?" Are there any happy events in the palace? ”
Ye Yichen said: "The emperor has just issued an edict to make Yi Guiren a Yi noble concubine!" ”
Yulan was slightly stunned: "This is not a festival, and there is no major celebration, how can the emperor bring such a little concubine up?" "The palace has been silent for many years, except for some newly favored concubines who have been named nobles and the like, it has not been a matter of many years since they were awarded such a high position as noble concubines.
The corners of Ye Yichen's mouth turned up slightly, evoking a faint mocking smile: "Yi Guiren, oh, Yi Gui Concubine is pregnant!" ”
"What?" A mouthful of Yellow Mountain clouds and mist in Yulan's mouth almost erupted. She said in disbelief: "How is it possible, there has been no news from the emperor's harem for more than ten years, right?" Is the emperor forty-seven or forty-eight this year? ”
Ye Yichen said: "It's forty-eight years old!" ”
"If the emperor can still ask the concubines to have children, after all these years, the emperor should always add a few princes or princesses, right? This kid is really strange. Her face turned a little pale, her eyes were full of horror, and she suddenly looked up at Ye Yichen and said, "This child won't ......" It's not the emperor's!
Ye Yichen shook his head lightly: "Yes or no, it doesn't really matter, as long as the emperor believes that the child is his!" ”
The Xianfu Palace in the Forbidden City is very lively at the moment. Since Yi Guiren was diagnosed with a happy pulse, the emperor was so happy that he not only jumped her position several levels in a row and was directly promoted to a noble concubine, but also rewarded her with a large number of rulers, jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, and came to see her in person, leaving two imperial doctors who were proficient in pediatrics to wait on all matters during her pregnancy.
The emperor personally promised her that whether she gave birth to a prince or a princess, he would promote her to the throne as a concubine. The emperor believed that he could get her pregnant at this age, because he followed Zhang Tianshi to refine the pill and cultivate the Tao to consolidate the foundation and Peiyuan, the emperor saw the hope of immortality, how could he not be happy!
After the emperor left, the queen of Kunning Palace, Concubine Xiao of Chengqian Palace, and Concubine Hui of Jingyang Palace were all rewarded. After Jingyang Palace went to the water, Ye Minzhao personally stared at the Internal Affairs Mansion, and finally renovated Jingyang Palace, and Concubine Hui has now moved back to Jingyang Palace.
Such a grand favor made the entire harem blush.
The palace maids and eunuchs up and down the Xianfu Palace were all ecstatic, and one person ascended to heaven with a chicken dog! If the master is good, they will naturally be able to follow suit.
What is extremely incongruous with the joyful atmosphere of the entire Xianfu Palace is that in the main hall, the newly enshrined Yi Gui Concubine is lying on the couch with a pale face, there is only one henchman in the room, and the palace maids and eunuchs are all thrown out.
Concubine Yi took the old lady's hand, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Mama Zhang, what does this mean?" She naturally understood who this child was. Last time, Concubine Xiao caught her in bed, but she didn't know what to do, but she was not forbidden to come privately with the guard at all.
Not only is it not prohibited, but there is also a vague meaning of connivance and cover-up. came and went, she actually had a secret knot, and wanted to secretly knock it off, but Concubine Xiao asked the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse, she was so frightened that her soul flew away, and the emperor came to see her as soon as she learned the news, she was ready to be cut by a thousand knives, but she didn't expect the emperor to call someone from the Jingshi room to ask, but said that the time was very consistent.
The emperor likes men more than women, and the harem is as beautiful as a cloud, she naturally knows that she didn't accept favor at all during the days when she was pregnant, and the emperor naturally can't remember which concubine he favored at what time. The person who bought the Jingshi room, thinking about it, only Concubine Xiao has this ability.
Now the emperor is happy, and the glory and wealth are also within reach, but she is nervous as if she is walking on the tip of a knife! There is not a trace of joy in my heart!
She didn't know what Concubine Xiao was thinking!
Mama Zhang is very clear about what is going on here, and she can't guess what medicine is sold in the imperial concubine's gourd, and she is also very scared, "Maybe, Niangniang really wants to help us?" ”
It's just that even Mama Zhang herself can't believe it!
The author has something to say: It's so late today, yawn ~(~o~)~zZ good night, everyone!
