Chapter 76: Marry an Aunt and Come Back
There is no need to cover the head of the concubine, and the crown of Xia is pendant and the bead curtain is the meaning.
The autumn wind is bleak, when Yun Xiu gets out of the sedan chair, the rose-red wedding dress is blown up, the ring is tinkling, the fallen leaves in front of the Hou Mansion swirl and fall to the embroidered shoes, and the slight clicking sound is made when stepped on, which means that it is not good.
"Grandma, slow down." Chunliu didn't dare to call her "aunt", and whispered, "Master Hou is waiting for you at the door." “
Yun Xiu raised her head, although Ling Xiao was not wearing a wedding dress, but she was wearing a dark red gown with dark piping, a waist, and a heroic and tall spirit, looking at her with her hands in her hands.
Neither of them had a smile on their faces, and the moment she crossed the threshold, he reached out and took it from Chunliu's hand.
Yun Xiu lowered his head, whispered "There is Lao Hou Ye", and then entered the front yard from the weeping flower gate, and then to the backyard, saying nothing all the way.
"I'll take you to the newly decorated house," Ling Xiao remembered when he walked in the verandah, "You change your clothes, and your parents are waiting for you to serve tea in the main hall." “
According to custom, this kind of thing should be done at the time of the wedding, and the old mother next to the man's housewife will lead the way and take the bride to the cave room. The next people bring longan, red dates, peanuts, lilies, etc., and every time they eat a bite, some people shout the auspicious words of "early birth of a precious son", "melon and longevity", and "harmony and beauty".
But now there is no need for it, Ling Xiao came to pick it up in person, with a full face, looking at the entire capital, there is no such exception.
"Don't you have anything to tell me?" Yun Xiu finished changing her clothes, dismantled her head and face, and Ling Xiao asked her.
Yun Xiu thought for a while, looked up and said, "My first three months have passed, and I can have sex." “
Knowing that what he wanted to hear was not this, Ling Xiao frowned, "Let's go." “
In the main hall, Lord Pingkang and Old Marquis Ling were sitting in danger, and futons were prepared in the center of the house. Yun Xiu served tea according to the rules, changed his words "father" and "mother", and the county lord asked his mother-in-law to send a pair of gilded white jade cups, symbolizing "golden and jade good fate".
"Good boy, get up." The lord of Pingkang County asked someone to help Yunxiu sit down, turned his head and smiled at the old marquis, "She is Yun Yushi's daughter-in-law, Brother Heng's daughter-in-law's sister, the eighth in the family, the Jiangnan girl is fine-looking, and she looks weird and hurts." “
The old marquis snorted and asked with a smile in his eyes: "How many days has your father been relieved?" “
Yun Xiu nodded and replied respectfully: "Back to my father's mother's words, my father has been worried recently. The complexion is much better, and I talk about it every day thanks to the two of you, and I also say that I will come to the door another day to thank you. “
The old marquis asked again: "Do you feel wronged?" “
Yun Xiu shook her head: "Don't be wronged, my daughter-in-law is willing to follow the little marquis, and she is also willing to be a slave and a maid." The daughter-in-law broke the rules before, but thanks to her father and mother's enlightenment, now she has got what she wants, and she is content with a name. “
The lord of Pingkang County saw that his son's face was wrong, and he was busy playing the round, "Master Hou, the people have seen it, and the tea has been saluted, she is not alone now, let Brother Xiao take her down to rest." “
The old marquis said yes, the second old man got up and left, and Ling Xiao and Yun Xiu stood in the room to salute and send them off.
The lord of Pingkang County accompanied the old man back to the study in the front yard, and read in his mouth, "Didn't what you said just now poke people's lungs?" Which of the girls in law is not raised like a delicate flower, and she raised a concubine, you ask people if they are wronged, and they only say they are wronged. “
"I want to see that kid's heart." The old marquis walked to the lotus tank and sprinkled a handful of fish food, "It's okay, your son doesn't have white eyes." “
"It's naturally good for the concubine to check for Brother Xiao'er," the county lord of Pingkang advised, "In short, don't ask if you have children when you see people these days, pregnant women are the most sensitive, ask a few more words and cry, be careful to make your grandson cry." “
"It's so delicate." The old marquis waved his hand in annoyance, "Okay, okay, who should you ask for tea and hurry up." “
The lord of Pingkang has a big wish today, although he failed to marry his daughter-in-law for various reasons, it is not a pity that this concubine brought his eldest grandson into the door.
She was in a good mood and turned to look at the little couple.
Ling Xiao was quite nervous and asked, "Dad is still satisfied with Yun Xiu, right?" “
"Satisfied." Lord Pingkang patted him on the chest and signaled reassurance, "You don't know your father's person yet, and he just doesn't show it on his face." “
"That's good." Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and walked away from the county lord, "Mother, you are tired today, go back to the house and rest first, we are hungry and ask the small kitchen to deliver food, you don't care." “
How could the county lord not know his son's thoughts, and told him thousands of times: "Now that Xiu Yatou is a person with a body, don't come nonsense, do you hear?" “
"Got it, got it." Ling Xiao couldn't wait for Lord Pingkang to hurry up, "Why didn't you ask someone for tea today?" It's hard for your son to see you on weekdays. “
Lord Pingkang immediately straightened his face: "Yo! You guys are really two of you! All in a hurry to drive me away! “
"Whoever drives out, the son doesn't dare to break ground on the head of the county lord's mother." Ling Xiao sent her out of the hospital, anxious, and poor, "My son will go back to the house first, and I won't send my mother." “
Lord Pingkang waved his hand: "Go, go, I have a daughter-in-law and forget my mother." “
Ling Xiao laughed, turned around and the corners of his mouth sank, he felt tired for the first time, his heart was tired.
Yun Xiu took the spring willow away, sat in the house alone, saw Ling Xiao come in, got up and brought tea over, and said to herself: "I heard my sister say, the rules of the palace, it is considered unlucky not to have sex on the wedding day, the palace is the most exquisite, I think it should also be exquisite." “
Ling Xiao frowned at her.
She continued: "Since I have entered the door, everything will be done according to the rules, you can rest assured, no matter how big or small the festival is in the future, who will have a banquet, I will not go with you, I can't make people laugh at you for not distinguishing between right and wrong, spoiling concubines and killing wives, although you don't have a wife, it is better to pay attention." “
After a pause, he said, "That's all I can think of for the time being, the only requirement is that when the child is born, regardless of gender, register the family tree according to the bloodline of the relatives, I am not playing tricks to straighten out, as long as the wife is introduced, I will pass the child to her name." “
"I promise you this," Ling Xiao said, "The child will stay with you, and the name can also be on the family tree." “
After saying that, the two fell silent at the same time.
"Xiuxiu, me??" Justifiably together, how did what should have been happy evolve into the current situation, Ling Xiao had a lot of things to say, but he really opened his mouth, and he didn't know where to start.
"Let's set the table." Yun Xiu interrupted him, "I haven't eaten since the morning, I'm hungry. “
She clearly didn't want to hear it, and she didn't want to talk about it.
Ling Xiao was so angry that he was angry. I can only ask the small kitchen to deliver food.
The dish was made according to Yun Xiu's appetite, and he picked fish bones for her, and she accepted it silently.
In short, what Yun Xiu wants, he depends on her.
The mood at the moment, doing intimate things, always feels that the taste has changed.
For Ling Xiao, it was more like a clueless relief until he got tired and let go of her.
"Xiuxiu, I know you're uncomfortable." He gradually came back to his senses, turned over and hugged the person beside him, "I received the letter, but there are some things I want to say to my face." “
Yun Xiu turned his back to him and ignored him.
"Xiuxiu?" Ling Xiao thought she was angry, so she hugged her tighter, "If you feel uncomfortable, you will cry, you don't want to live in the Hou Mansion, Ming'er, let's go back to the small mansion, it is an expedient measure to raise a concubine, I promise to be good to you two in the future." “
He said for a long time, but the other party didn't react at all, he noticed that something was wrong, turned the person over, and thought of something to lift the quilt, and saw that it was bleeding, and immediately panicked.
"I warned you, don't come nonsense!" Pingkang County didn't care about his face, and scolded Ling Xiao under the corridor, "You do nonsense on weekdays, I just turn a blind eye, and now when you come to your own head, you still can't do anything, and you want to be angry with me!" “
"Yun Xiu too! You don't understand, and neither does she?! The county lord felt that there was no one to worry about, "I said ugly things in front, this child is the lifeblood of the Ling family, none of you are ignorant, don't blame me for taking people to set rules!" “
After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Ling Xiao rarely didn't talk back, didn't lose his temper, and his clenched fists loosened. Waiting for the doctor to come out.
The doctor naturally picked up the good words, which is nothing more than a painless instruction such as resting, stabilizing the fetal gas, and taking medicine on time.
As for whether there is a problem with this child, whether it can be conceived to term, whether it will be born prematurely, or whether it may be miscarried, there is no clear answer.
Ling Xiao was very annoyed, when he entered the house, Yun Xiu was awake, he was sitting, she was lying, no one spoke, and she waited until midnight.
Outside the house, there was the sound of bangs on the street.
"It's a change." Yun Xiu hoarsely said slowly, "Don't you sleep yet?" “
Ling Xiao's face was extremely bad: "Do you think I can sleep?" “
Yun Xiu said lightly: "Tomorrow morning, the Privy Council will order it, and you won't be able to get up." “
"It's not something you should worry about." Ling Xiao asked bluntly, "You heard my mother's words, do you care?" “
"What if I have a so-called?" Yun Xiu glanced at him, retracted his gaze and stared at the big red curtain, and said in a cool voice, "I'm just a victim of you for self-preservation, what I think, what I want, no one cares, what is satisfactory to me, no children, I am nothing." “
"A true mother's mother is more expensive than a son." Her eyes were full of sarcasm. "Little Marquis, what do you say?"
Ling Xiao was so blocked by her that she didn't know what to say, so she gritted her teeth and asked, "You are a woman, will you die if you say something soft?" “
"Do you want me to give in?" Yun Xiu thought it was funny, and laughed out loud, "What did I do to stab your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys?" Not happy, complaining a few words? Do I have to cry and cry to be happy? But what if I don't want to cry, I'm not happy if I don't cry? “
"How rare I am to see you cry! I don't want you to hold back the discomfort! Seeing her pale face, Ling Xiao was angry and didn't know who to look for, "In order to protect myself, you can't even enter the door of Ling's house!" Are you wronged? When your Yun family was greedy for a lot of money on the salt road, you laughed happier than anyone! “
"Then why are you marrying me!" Yun Xiu smashed the soft pillow at hand with all his might, "I'm dead!" I live! Go by the Yun family! “
Ling Xiao was smashed squarely, although it didn't hurt, his qi and blood surged straight to his brain: "You don't blead to come hard, ah!" “
"I'm just going to do something!" Yun Xiu covered her lower abdomen, gritted her teeth and got up, "You made me a joke, do you want me to stop?" Dream your big spring and autumn dreams! “
"Sleep well for me!" Ling Xiao pressed the person to the bed, and was afraid that he would hurt her too much, so he simply lay down and hugged the person, and said ruthlessly, "Xiao'er, I can't cure you!" “
"Treat me, you deserve it!" Yun Xiu couldn't move, so he bit him on his shoulder blade and used ten times ten strength.
Ling Xiao frowned in pain, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Loosen up!" Or knock out your teeth! “
"You're knocking!" Yun Xiu couldn't get rid of his hatred when he took a bite, so he took a second bite in a place with a lot of meat.
Ling Xiao hissed, the pain was unbearable, let go of her, pinched her chin, and pushed aside: "It's endless!" “
"I'm going to be endless!" Yun Xiu got up and pounced, "If I were a man, I would fight with you today!" “
Ling Xiao grabbed her wrist and said helplessly: "You are not a man, you are also working hard." “
Yun Xiu was so angry that he gasped: "I can't kill you, what's the use!" “
"I'm dead, who will protect you?" Ling Xiao sighed, "Just your father who is greedy for life and afraid of death, can he protect you?" “
Yun Xiu was angry: "I want you to take care of it!" You have to take care of it! I can't stop you from dying for half a point! “
"Okay, okay, I don't care, I don't care." Ling Xiao was afraid that if the quarrel continued, the child would really be gone, so he disarmed and surrendered, "You dissipate your anger first, the doctor said that your fetus is unstable, and you should not be too emotional." “
Yun Xiu lifted the child, full of grievances, his nose was sore, he threw himself on the bed, and kicked the quilt a few times: "The child is gone!" Born in my aunt's belly, he will suffer in the future! “
"I promise you, why do you mention this matter when the child is on the family tree?" Ling Xiao didn't have a point, and lay next to her to coax, "I said, carrying you through the door is temporary, and when the Li family is dealt with, the limelight is over, it's a big deal to marry you again, don't make trouble?" “
"No! Not! Yun Xiu didn't follow, "Why should I believe you, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" “
Ling Xiao thought that this was to marry the eldest grandmother of the Ling family, and the whole son came back after marrying an aunt, "Now that the wood is in the boat, what do you say?" “
What else can I do?
Yun Xiu also knew that he could only accept his fate, but he was gagged in his heart: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault!" “
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault," Ling Xiao said in passing, "Do you want to bite me twice more if you don't get angry?" “
Yun Xiu buried her face in the quilt: "Stinky meat, I'm not rare." “
Ling Xiao laughed: "Okay, you are fragrant, I will bite you." “
"You dare bite me." Yun Xiu'er raised her face and glared at him, "You try to bully me again!" “
Ling Xiao was stunned, her eyes were red, she should have just covered the quilt and cried, but he didn't hear that she was crying, and her voice didn't look like she was crying.
"Xiuxiu," he looked at her with pity, reached out to touch her white face, and sighed, "If I promised, I will definitely do it, don't be sad, huh?" “
As he spoke, he hugged her and coaxed in a low voice: "I will listen to you for everything in the future, and you will be in charge." “
"You don't have to coax me with a set outside," Yun Xiu leaned on his shoulder, tears flowing down the corners of his eyes, "I don't need your pity, my dowry is more than enough to buy you ten small mansions, and there is nothing else in Yandao, but there is a lot of silver, and I was also raised rich, no worse than the children of the Beijing circle." “
Ling Xiao probably had a few soft words in his life, and he couldn't expect to listen to her a few soft words, "Okay, good, your mother's family is the best if she has money, I can rest assured that I will hand over the title deed and the deed to you, and I am not afraid that you will post it upside down." “
"I don't need you to post it upside down." Yun Xiu snorted disdainfully, "I didn't dare to tell you before, the golden Buddha in the main hall of Daming Temple was donated by my grandmother, you should have seen it." “
"That Golden Buddha is not small," Ling Xiao was a little surprised, "Your father looks timid, and his hands are quite dark." “
Yun Xiu sniffed, "If you want to get to his place, some things will not be up to you." “
After a pause, she lay down again, "I remember that a salt merchant carried three large boxes of silver ingots to the door of the mansion in the middle of the night for a piece of paperwork for sale, and my father was so scared at first, but he didn't dare not accept it. “
She looked at Ling Xiao: "The youngest son of the last Yanyu Inspector in Yangzhou was kidnapped, and five days later, the body floated on the lake on the outskirts of the city, and it was investigated, saying that it was suffocated alive, even if you know who did it, it is useless, Yandao can be big, not to mention the government, local ruffians, thieves and bandits all know, I am not alarmist, Qingzhou Liukou is not all because of the government's inaction, and some outlaws are thugs raised outside the salt road." “
Ling Xiao felt that there was no royal law: "Send local officers and soldiers to suppress it, can't attack it?" “
"If you can send troops, don't you send them early," Yun Xiu asked him seriously, "On one side is the knife on your neck, and on the other side are three boxes of silver ingots, either die or ascend to heaven with wealth, how do you choose?" “
How many people don't even want their lives?
Ling Xiao was silent and replied solemnly: "Xiuxiu." This kind of thing is not a long-term solution, Shangfeng may not know it, even if it breaks out one day, it will be punished together, and it will not be good for the nine clans. “
"Do you think my father is not afraid?" Yun Xiu sighed, "This time the Li family made a slight move, and he even let out my daughter-in-law." “
"But why don't you want to think about it, I have wronged you now, in case the Li family has played with fire, you and Yun Ying can save their lives." Ling Xiao pinched her palm for a while, "As for the others, who we can protect and how many we can protect, there is no certainty." “
Yun Xiu withdrew his hand. hateful said: "It's really to that point, even if I pull the Li family as a backpad, I won't affect you." “
"Don't say stupid things," Ling Xiao grabbed the green onion fingertips again, "I said to protect you, I will definitely keep you safe, you will honestly raise the fetus, less effort, less temper, I just met you, I didn't see you so bad-tempered." “
Yun Xiu looked at him with empty eyes: "Regret it?" “
"I don't regret it," Ling Xiao hurriedly remedied, "Don't think about it, go to sleep." I heard the sound of the second watch, and I really couldn't get up tomorrow morning if I didn't sleep. “
"I can't get up to take leave." Yun Xiu squeezed him, "Haven't you always been like this?" “
"Okay, okay, grandma, sleep," Ling Xiao admitted, "From now on, until the child lands, I won't touch you again, and you can stop stopping, don't make my mother angry, okay, sleep, sleep." “
He got up and cut the lamp, and went back to bed by the moonlight, and woke up in the morning.
The next day, when he went out, Yun Xiu hadn't woken up yet, Chunliu went into the house lightly to serve, secretly relieved, and it was okay.
In the next few days, the doctor ran to the Hou Mansion every day, and the lord of Pingkang was not embarrassed, but the words revealed the importance of the eldest grandson, Yun Xiu was tired of lying down, and he could only rest to raise the fetus.
Chunliu is still a girl, she doesn't understand anything, and when she saw that Yun Xiu couldn't go to the ground, she asked in a low voice: "Grandma, isn't it okay if the doctor says that there is no bloodshed, why are you still lying down, and when will you lie down?" “
Yun Xiu also wanted to know when he would lie down: "I haven't given birth again, how do you know, the county wants me to recuperate, just recuperate, you think the new daughter-in-law is good." “
"Seeing you like this, the slave and maid don't dare to marry," Chunliu shook her head in fright, "Don't hide it from the eldest grandmother, you quarreled with the Hou Ye on the wedding night, and the slave and maid were terrified when they heard it under the porch, for fear that the little Hou Ye would beat you." “
"He won't do anything," Yun Xiu said with a smile on her lips. "Don't look at the Hou Ye's shouting on weekdays, it's a courtesy to me, but he can't speak, and he stabs people to death with a cold sentence."
"The slave didn't think that the little Hou Ye stabbed you," Chunliu said honestly, "It's you, the eldest grandmother, who often makes the little Hou Ye very angry, and you dare to say some things, and you would have been slapped flat if you changed someone." “
This girl has only been in the Hou Mansion for a few days, her elbow is bent, Yun Xiu is too lazy to talk to her: "I asked you to go to the cloth village yesterday to pick up a few cotton fabrics, and said that they would be sent in the morning, what time is it, and I haven't seen anyone." “
Spring willow looks at the missing moment. Before noon, "Why don't you go again?" “
She said as she walked, "Actually, you don't have to worry about it, the mother next to the county lord said that it will be cold after a while, and the palace will more or less send a degree, and I am afraid that the little boy will have no clothes to wear in the future." “
"The county lord is a grandmother, and I am a mother, so my mind is different." Yun Xiu urged her to go quickly, "You don't talk to Houfu's mother, they are all the ears of the county lord." “
Chunliu said that he knew, changed his clothes and went out.
She was not familiar with the front and back yards of the Hou Mansion, so she walked to the side of the Hanging Flower Gate, and was about to retreat to the side door, when she suddenly saw the mother-in-law beside the Lord of Pingkang leading the way in front, and replied respectfully with "Mrs. Xing".
Chunliu didn't know Mrs. Xing, but she knew all the dirty things that the Li family had done, and she gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, so she couldn't take care of Buzhuang, so she called a carriage and went directly to Qi Mansion to find Yun Ying to complain, but she didn't expect to meet Qi Yuheng in the front yard.
"Third Master Qi, you don't have to be on duty today?" Harunliu wondered.
"I'm resting." Qi Yuheng asked her why she came suddenly, "Isn't it that your eldest grandmother is fighting with the little marquis again, it's only been a few days since she got married?" “
"They didn't fight." Chunliu was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "It's Mrs. Xing who is here, I didn't dare to tell my grandmother, she is delicate and can't move now." “
"Don't look for the third grandmother," Qi Yuheng told her what to do, "The third grandmother has not had a good weather these two days, be careful to burn your head." “
Yun Ying was angry for no other reason, it was Yun Xiu who raised her concubine, she originally wanted to go to the Hou Mansion and said, but was stopped by Qi Yuheng, the matter of the Li family is no longer as simple as fighting in the back house.
Chunliu obediently left, Qi Yuheng thought about it, and went to the Privy Council in person.
Ling Xiao was not surprised: "I'll just wait for them, I'm afraid that the Li family won't come." “
Qi Yuheng asked him, "What?" Go back now? “
Ling Xiao put down his pen and got up to take the horsewhip, "Otherwise?" Wait for someone to come to the Privy Council to block me? “
"I don't dare to think about the Li family." Qi Yuheng said, "But my old man can say it, if you want to point to the end, don't poke out the big basket, you are going to die, and it will not end well if it is big." “
Ling thought he was verbose: "Come on, I'm measured." “
Leaving the Privy Council, the two went their separate ways.
Ling Xiao didn't go to the front door when he returned home, and went back to his room first from the side door to surprise Yun Xiu.
"Huh? Why are you back so early? Yun Xiu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were crooked like a crescent moon, and he put down the needle and thread in his hand, "I didn't hear you say yesterday, it won't be sneaking back, right?" “
Ling Xiao said no, hugged her, and got up: "I have something to do to go to the front yard, I'll come over to accompany you later, I want to cook two more dishes in the small kitchen, and eat together at noon." “
