Chapter 226: Depressed
When the guests dispersed, the Yongping Marquis Mansion (the Xia Mansion had been hung with the plaque of the Yongping Marquis Mansion) was immediately replaced with white, and all the gorgeous ornaments had to be put away.
The funeral supplies were prepared early in the morning, and the people moved quickly, and after a while, the atmosphere of the whole house changed.
In Su Dan's new house, the young couple had already taken off their dresses and changed into filial piety clothes, and Nangong Miao was helping Shujie prepare a simple package, putting two clothes and a few books.
Shujie gently hugged Nangong Miao from behind: "Miao'er, I have wronged you." "A once-in-a-lifetime wedding should be the best memory of the bride's life. Nangong Miao is the daughter of the richest man in Da Zhou, and she has more luxury and sensational capital. Moreover, Miao'er is so beautiful, she deserves the best of everything.
But now, not only is the wedding simple, but three months later, the newlywed wife has to stay alone in Yulin to keep filial piety, take care of his younger siblings, and take care of the house.
Today, the father-in-law of Dafuzi announced another holy decree: Xia Linxuan, the son of the Marquis of Yongping, returned to Beijing after 100 days of filial piety, and his wife and a pair of younger siblings will live in mourning on his behalf.
All the officials present were secretly sighing, this is obviously a rhythm to be reused, it seems that this newly baked Yongping Hou Shizi really won the sacred heart.
The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty had to leave their posts for three years (27 months) after the death of their parents. Generally speaking, only the generals who guard the border will "seize affection", and under special circumstances, officials with important positions will also be reinstated in filial piety.
But...... The Marquis of Yongping has only been an official in the court for two months, right? Offices? The pen in front of the emperor and the guard with a knife in front of the emperor!
Well, well, no one dares to say that guarding the emperor is not as important as guarding the border. The border guards should "seize love". The guards with knives in front of the emperor should naturally "seize love", right?
Nangong Miao leaned on Shujie's arms. Softly said: "I am your wife, for you, I am willing." ”
Shujie's heart trembled, tightened his arms, and imprinted a kiss on Nangong Miao's hair. The tip of his nose lingered with a faint fragrance of gardenias, and Shujie murmured affectionately: "Thank you, my wife." ”
Nangong Miao's heart is warm, she is his wife. She loved her new identity. It is a beautiful thing to be his wife, and everything he does is willing. What's more, with such a good father, there is such an excellent father-in-law, and she has no grievances for her father-in-law. Of course, if she could, she would prefer to be able to serve left and right and be filial.
The two hugged each other quietly like this, without too many words.
……
Good for a while. The young couple walked out of the new house with a small package. Jin Xida, Nangong Xiao brothers, Dafuzi father-in-law, Liu Mama, Shunzi father-in-law and others are all going back to Beijing. Seeing off Jin Xida and his party, the Shujie brothers went directly up the mountain.
Jin Xida saw the package in Shujie's hand. He asked, "Jie'er, are you still going to live in the mountains?" What about Wen'er? ”
Shujie nodded: "There are only 100 days to be filial, I will live on it, accompany my father and mother, Wen'er will go to the school after the first seven days, and I will be with me these days." ”
Jin Xida touched Shuwen's head: "Wen'er, after your eldest brother returns to Beijing, you will be the only man in the family, not only must you study hard and practice martial arts well, but you also have to take care of your sister-in-law and sister."
Shuwen nodded firmly and responded: "Don't worry, father-in-law, Wen'er will." ”
Shujie held the book, Nangong Miao held Shuyao, and the four of them were sent to the gate: "Father-in-law, take care!" ”
Shujie said to Gao Mingde: "Brother Gao, my father-in-law's body is going to trouble you." The three Shujie brothers and sisters were worried that they would leave sequelae, and they wanted him to live in Yulin Town for a while, but Jin Xida had a lot of things to do and had to rush back to the capital.
Gao Mingde said with a smile: "Shujie, don't worry, as long as Mr. Jin does not leave Beijing within half a year, I will be responsible for recuperating his body." In fact, in the past half a month, Mr. Jin's health has improved a lot, and the progress is beyond my expectations. ”
Shu Yao pointed to the package on Nantian's shoulder: "Father-in-law, we have prepared the medicinal and dietary materials that Brother Gao said are beneficial to your body, and I have also copied the medicinal diet recipes given by Brother Gao and put them together, and in the future, Orange Jin will arrange for someone to do it every day." Father-in-law, no matter how busy you are, you have to stay in the capital for half a year, and you have to go back to your home every day to take medicine and food, and you can do things better when your body is well, right? Father-in-law, we don't have a father or mother anymore, and you have to take care of your health for us. ”
Looking at the worried eyes of Shu Yao and the others, Jin Xida, who felt extremely warm, hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, my father-in-law will definitely listen to our Yao'er's instructions and take care of your body quickly, you don't have to worry." ”
Wei Yuanhou also joked: "Don't worry, uncle, help you keep an eye on it." ”
Shujie then saluted the Nangong Xiao brothers: "Two uncles, please say hello to my father-in-law and mother-in-law on my behalf, and when Shujie returns to Beijing, I will go to kowtow to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, Xie Lu thanks them for their willingness to let Miao'er marry at this time." ”
Nangong Xiao has the demeanor of the eldest brother and the heir of the head of the family: "As long as the two of you are doing well, my father and mother will be very happy." Shujie, Miao'er has been taken care of by Aunt Zhen since she was a child, and she is the most sticky Aunt Zhen. In addition, you will return to Beijing in three months, and Aunt Zhen is not worried about Miao'er, so she wants to stay and help. "Nangong Yuzhen is the daughter of the Nangong family after all, and now she is widowed and lives in her mother's house, and she will also be supported by nephews such as Nangong Xiao's brothers in the future. Nangong Xiao didn't want Shujie and the Xia family to misunderstand that they wanted to push Nangong Yuzhen to Shujie and Nangong Miao, or thought that Nangong Yuzhen's stay was Nangong Mansion's distrust of Shujie.
Shujie smiled sincerely: "Aunt Zhen's willingness to stay and help is her love for Miao'er, Shujie is grateful, and she can't ask for it." "Nangong Miao is only less than 16 years old, and there are no female elders in the Yongping Marquis Mansion, Shujie hopes that Nangong Yuzhen can always stay by Nangong Miao's side to help and guide. Although Mother Liu can also do it, after all, Nangong Miao was raised by Nangong Yuzhen, and her familiarity and trust can make Nangong Miao more relaxed and comfortable. Moreover, Liu's mother must follow Shu Yao in the future, and with Liu's mother accompanying Shu Yao to her husband's house, he, the eldest brother, can rest assured.
Nangong Xiao listened to Shujie's words, and secretly said that she thought too much, and she was more at ease with her sister's future life in the Yongping Marquis Mansion.
After sending off Jin Xida and others, Zhang Caishu also rushed back to Lucheng to deal with some urgent matters, while the Shujie brothers went directly to White Monkey Mountain, only bringing Yongjin and Shangjin two personal servants.
Nangong Miao and Shu Yao carried Xia Ruoyun back to the house one by one, Xia Ruoyun was tired from hurrying one after another, plus sadness, she was a little unwell in the past two days, Zhang Caishu couldn't bear to let her run around again, so he let her stay in the Hou Mansion for a few days, and then come to pick her up after he finished his business, anyway, when Xia Linxuan was in the first seven, they were going to come again.
The door of the Yongping Marquis Mansion was closed, and across the street, Shu Qing and Ade, who were standing behind a big tree, walked out, Shu Qing looked at the golden "Yongping Hou Mansion" plaque in a daze, it is said that the four words were mentioned by the emperor himself.
She used to think that if the Marquis of Yongping had not been taken away from the title, or, one day, the emperor suddenly gave them the title back to the Xia family, in this life, her identity would have been truly complete, plus the memories and various experiences of her previous life, how wonderful and dazzling would her life be as a marquis's daughter?
However, thinking about it and dreaming, she knew very well that with her father, uncle, and those brothers who did not grow up, she would not want to earn back that title in three lifetimes.
What I didn't expect was that now her other "uncle" has really done it and really earned back the title of Marquis of Yongping, but she can't touch it at all. Not to mention "Hou Ye's daughter", even "Hou Ye's niece" or "Hou Ye's cousin" no one admitted it, because Xia Linxuan publicly announced that he had severed relations with their Xia Mansion, and even their family was almost expelled from the Xia family.
Shuqing felt that God was just joking with her and always playing tricks on her.
"Girl, are we really not going in?" Adele asked, "Aunt Yun is also there." "Aunt Yun didn't cut off relations with Xia Fu, she shouldn't be polite to the girl's niece, right?
Shuqing shook her head: "No, let's go to my aunt quickly." "At this time, it will only be boring to come to the door. That day, Xia Linyu's brothers were mixed with the clansmen and went to the spiritual shed set up in the White Monkey Mountain to pay respects, but the guards didn't let them in at all, and directly took them out.
Xia Ruoxue was sick, and Shuqing went out of the house to see her at Xia Ruoxue's house.
When she came back from the White Monkey Mountain that day, Mrs. Xia fell ill, very sick, and Lang Zhong said that she was angry and angry. A few days later, I heard that Xia Linxuan was actually named "Yongping Hou", and Mrs. Xia vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot and fainted.
Xia Ruoxue is a filial daughter, although she was expelled from the family and embarrassed, she still rushed to the Xia Mansion and served ill for a few days, but she was also sick last night and went back to her own courtyard.
When Xia Ruoxue's personal maid Bai Lan came to deliver the tonic soup to Mrs. Xia this morning, she said that Xia Ruoxue had a high fever last night, but fortunately, she used the pills she bought in the capital in time and had already lost her fever this morning.
Mrs. Xia was not at ease, so she asked Shuqing to find out what was going on with Xia Ruoxue now. Walking to the vicinity of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, Shuqing himself somehow stepped here step by step. Shuqing secretly laughed at herself: Won't it just be to take a look at the plaque of "Yongping Marquis Mansion"?
At this time, the really depressed Yu Zhengran of the Yu family's mansion in the capital, he was standing in the courtyard, throwing darts at the target ten zhang away, but he missed every shot. The more you miss, the more vicious you throw, and the more you miss...... Vicious circle.
Mr. Yu, who had just stepped into the door, shook his head and sighed: "Young master, if you can't calm down, don't waste your efforts." Or are you just trying to vent your strength? But what's the use of that? Now that the things have entered the palace, we can only give up, we can't risk revealing our identities, and the master will think of other ways. ”
Yu Zhengran noticed the finger-length thin bamboo tube in Mr. Yu's hand: "Father has sent a letter?" ”
Mr. Yu nodded: "Exactly, about your family." (To be continued......)
