And the new moon lying in bed didn't know anything yet, and after taking the medicine, she was groggy and her yard was very quiet. Occasionally I wake up just to drink saliva and continue to sleep.

On the afternoon of the third day, Feng'er sat at the door of the main house, picking out the red beans that would cook porridge for the new moon tomorrow, and asked Fei'er to cover her face and come in from outside.

"Let you go to Mrs. Xiao, why are you still crying and coming back?" Feng'er put down the bamboo basket in her hand and carefully examined the scars on Fei'er's face, Fei'er lowered her head and tears had flowed out, "I went to ask Mrs. Xiao for the deed of the two slaves and maids who contradicted Mrs., only to find that Mrs. Xiao released the two slaves and maids as soon as she came back, and continued to serve by her side, not to mention, one of them slapped me." ”

Feng'er looked at Fei'er's cheeks covered by his subordinates, and sure enough, she was beaten, and when she walked forward, she kicked away all the red beans that she had picked all afternoon, which showed how angry she was.

Crescent Moon slept in a daze, feeling thirsty, and turned over and shouted, "Fei'er, give me a glass of water." ”

For a long time, I didn't wait for a reply, and shouted "Hao'er?" ”

Still no one responded to her, so Xinyue opened her eyes tiredly, staggered up from the bed, but found that the whole courtyard was surprisingly quiet, Xinyue first drank water, but because of the weakness of her hands, she dropped the teapot, even such a movement failed to attract the attendants, where did the two girls and Mama Wang go.

Crescent Moon took a deep breath and shouted "Someone"

After a while, the little girl Mo'er came in from outside.

"Madame—" Mo'er stood at the door, not daring to come in.

Crescent Moon waved her hand, "I'm dizzy, help me to the couch over there." ”

"Yes, yes" Mo'er's eyes widened, rubbed her hand against her body, and reached out to help Xinyue sit on the couch. 、

Xinyue sat on the couch as if she had lost her strength, watched Mo'er keep looking out, and asked, "Those two girls?" ”

"Hao, Sister Fei'er and Sister Fei'er went, and went to the courtyard of the little prince."

"What are you going to do there?" Xinyue half leaned on the couch, Li Langzhong's medicine was really powerful, she was always before going to bed, she would feel tired and headache, and it would take a long time to fall asleep, but now it has been relieved, as long as the medicine is over, it should be better.

"Yes, it was the two sisters who went to Mrs. Xiao to ask Mrs. a few days ago to instruct them, the two maids who committed the accident deed, and it happened that the little prince was also in Mrs. Xiao's room, so the little prince punished them." Mo'er told Xinyue everything she knew.

Xinyue felt a lot of tightness in her chest, and said to Yao'er, "Go, call Uncle Wang over." ”

"Yes" said that, Mo'er was about to go out, turned back again, and laboriously moved out the screen on one side and covered it in front of Xinyue, before turning around and calling Uncle Wang again.

"Madam" Uncle Wang was the steward of the other residence, and soon arrived in front of the crescent moon.

"Go, call someone Yazi to come, and then call two people to tie up the maid who offended me a few days ago, and let people clean up and take it away." After the new moon ordered, Uncle Wang was a little embarrassed, but he didn't ask anything, "Yes." ”

Xinyue naturally knew that things would not be so simple, supported by Mo'er, dressed up, her hair was just tied with a hairband, and sat firmly on the chair, Mo'er saw that she was reluctant and crumbling, but she was soft-spoken and would not let Xinyue change her mind, so she only put two cushions behind her to make her sit more comfortably.

If Uncle Wang went to do it in person, those two maids would definitely be sold, but Rong Xu's side was naturally not good at giving up.

Just thinking about it, Uncle Wang talked back.

"Done?" Crescent asked.

"Yes, that's it." Uncle Wang's face was not pleasant, but he was able to gain a foothold in this mansion by talking less and doing more.

Xinyue asked, "Is it not difficult for you that little prince?" ”

"The little prince is displeased, and the slave is afraid of what he will do to you."

"Uncle Wang, you are the most trusted steward of the outer courtyard when your aunt was there, and you have been the housekeeper of this mansion for more than ten years, and you want to serve in this mansion for the rest of your life. But I want to ask you, it won't be long before I will reconcile with the little prince and go to live in another village. There is also a shortage of housekeepers in other villages, is Uncle Wang willing to be the housekeeper of my other village? ”

"Minion, willing" Uncle Wang leaned over and knelt on the ground, his move made Xinyue, who was about to receive a rejection, taken aback, "What?" ”

"The slave is not the slave of this other mansion, but the slave of Mrs. Shizi, and now that Mrs. Shizi is gone, she is naturally your slave Madame." Uncle Wang replied that it should be, "It's just that the old slave is old, and he may not be able to serve in your other village for a few years, Mrs., the old slave has a nephew, and he usually works by the old slave's side, this time I go to the other village, can the old slave take my nephew with me?" ”

"Naturally," Xinyue nodded, and Uncle Wang was ordered to go out.

As soon as Uncle Wang went out on his front foot, Xinyue heard a word from outside, "The little prince is here." ”

"Mo'er, you go out first"

"Madam, the little prince's face is very bad, you, you..."

"You, go out" Before Mo'er finished speaking, Rong Xu walked in, pointed to the little maid standing in front of Xinyue, and asked her to go out.

Xinyue and Rong Xu both said so, and Mo'er had to go out one step at a time.

"Where's my two girls?" Xinyue didn't wait for Rong Xu to speak, so she asked first.

"You still think about them, if you really think so, you won't take them out as gunmen, and I will punish them, and I sent Uncle Wang to arrest Nanyin's maids and sell them."

"Then do you want me to ask Uncle Wang to call the two of them back?" Xinyue cleared her throat and looked at Rong Xu, who was sitting beside her.

Xinyue has seen Rong Xu who is even more angry, it is that Rong Xu, who imprisoned himself under the pretext that he was crazy, and at that time Xinyue was really afraid of the person in front of him, but at this time, Xinyue was a lot calmer.

"As the main room, what else is there to dislike, you have to deal with a concubine who is not even a side room. The maids and maids around her are all shouting and selling, you have never been a ruthless person, those two maids are the girls who have followed her since Nanyin entered the mansion, because they offended the main room, such a crime was sold, and it will definitely not end well..."

"You know so many things about Mrs. Xiao, and even care about the life and death of the maids around her, so do you know that I am sick? Am I so sick that I can't get out of bed for three days? ”

"If you are sick, you will invite Langzhong, and there is really no need to be angry with Nanyin's maid." After Rong Xu finished speaking, he glanced at the new moon, and sure enough, her face was as pale as paper, and the whole person could sit, supported by the two cushions behind her.

"In this case, please let the little prince give him and leave the book, neither of us is a small person in the market, please let the little prince save some face for me, if the little prince is really angry, then divorce his wife." Xinyue has a general understanding of the meaning of the queen mother and the emperor's two palaces, and now it seems that there is no need, and she doesn't care about the opinions of the person in front of her, but there seems to be a difficult breath in her heart and lungs "Those two girls, when I was sick, stayed in front of my bed, and when I was accidentally pushed off the bridge by you, it was also the girl who was Feng'er, holding my head, crying and screaming as hard as she could." You also know why Yu'er's mouth is bleeding, do you think I did it myself? Little prince, we don't have the fate of being husband and wife, as your cousin, do you really think that I deserve to be thrown like this, and your concubine is an innocent person who contradicts my slave and maid? As she spoke, Crescent Moon pursed her lips, feeling that she was about to vomit out of her throat because she was so angry that she felt that there was blood in her throat.

"Things have passed, so there is no way to make up for them, just like the scar on your forehead, I will make up for it in the future..."

"Can you let the Shaw be sold?"

"She is also an official woman, how can she let people sell her teeth? And Ju'er, who left her mother..."

"Aren't you too, since you were five years old, you went to the princess?"

"So I can't let my children suffer such grievances again."

"Then can you write me a letter of closure and departure? Don't think about the prince, just as a cousin, compensation for the cousin who feels guilty. ”

"Your importance to the Yuwang Mansion makes it impossible for me to do this." Xinyue knew that Rong Xu was actually a soft-hearted person, but his categorical refusal at this time must have been because King Yu had given him an order.

"Are you willing to be under my dominion all your life? Don't you have the courage to make a career out of your own as a man? ”

After Rong Xu left, after a while, Feng'er and Fei'er came back, but fortunately, Xiao Nanyin didn't embarrass the two of them much, but the palm marks on Fei'er's face were still obvious.

Xinyue stared at the injury on Fei'er's face, and said to Feng'er, "Let Xiao Nanyin come to my room every day, and you can't miss it for a day in the morning and dusk." ”

"Madam, didn't you say at the beginning that you couldn't get up by yourself, and there were few concubines at home, so you saved the morning and dusk?" Feng'er asked curiously.

"Naturally, I won't see her, it's not going to be a few days, it's good to clean her up and vent her anger to Fei'er, and after Rong Xu's new wife enters the door in the future, he will inevitably be so tortured." Saying that, Xinyue began to think about who would clean up Xiao Nanyin in the future.

Thinking about this, Xinyue's mind sank again, because of Rong Ying's relationship, the Xiao family will definitely turn around, in this way, no matter who Rong Xu marries as his stepfamily, life will not be too easy, and the final end may not be better than herself, and that woman ended up like this, all because she walked sideways, so that the woman who was not robbed jumped into such a pit.

In order to make this matter smoothly resolved, the new moon thought of someone.

"Ma'am, drink the medicine." Feng'er called Xinyue, and Xinyue glanced at the jet-black potion in Feng'er's hand and asked, "This is the last one?" ”

"Yes, ma'am, this is the last dose, after drinking it today, after a good night's sleep, it will be good to wake up." Feng'er said with a smile.

"On the day of Yao'er's wedding banquet, you go to find Lord Xiao, I want to see her."

"Yes, ma'am"

Another day passed, and it finally came to the big day that Xinyue cared about the most, the day when Yao'er got married.

On this day, not long after the fifth watch, Feng'er tiptoed to the bed of the new moon and woke up the new moon, the new moon felt that she had just closed her eyes not long ago, this would be the time when the irritability was up, but because of the squirming in her arms, her eyes widened.

Xinyue pressed her hands hard and hugged Yao'er, who had just fallen asleep for a long time in her arms, "Let's let her sleep for a while." ”

"Last night, the slave and maid all said, let the lady talk to Miss Yao'er less, and later when the slave and maid came to add carbon, the two of you were still talking." Although Feng'er was quiet, she didn't stop talking, trying to make Yao'er wake up.

Yao'er hid in Xinyue's arms again, and slept more soundly.

"It's time to get up, young ladies." Mama Wang came in from outside, but she didn't see the new moon get up, and Yao'er hadn't even opened her eyelids.

"Up and down this house, Mama Wang is still calling Miss Sister Xinyue" Yao'er turned over and opened her eyes, and the bloodshot under her eyes proved that she was not sleeping soundly.

"Yes, it's been a long time since I've heard Mama Wang call me Miss, get up, Miss Yao'er."

"Yes, Miss Crescent." As she spoke, Yao'er got up from the bed with a carp, "Sister-in-law, you must give me a mattress like this, this is too soft, as if lying on a cloud." ”

"You really are, even my futon has been put on the idea, and it has been installed for you a long time ago, and it will be spread on your marriage bed." As she spoke, Xinyue reached out and stroked her hair, "Yao'er, from now on, you will only have a comfortable life." ”

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to get married." With that, Yao'er threw herself into Xinyue's arms.

"Go and call someone in." Xinyue stroked Yao'er's long hair, "Yao'er, if my sister-in-law has a daughter, I also hope to have a good child like you." ”

"My sister-in-law's daughter, that is, my niece, is my nephew like an uncle, and my niece will definitely be like my aunt." As she spoke, Yao'er let go of the tight crescent moon she was hugging and patted her chest.

Xinyue smiled, she couldn't put it down, so she touched Yao'er's waterfall-like hair again.

"But, sister-in-law, I won't be as bad as my mother is to my niece." After Yao'er finished speaking, the mother-in-law who came to help outside also came in, and Yao'er got up from the bed of the new moon and sat in front of the dressing table.

"Madame, please dress up too." Seeing that Xinyue had a lost look in her eyes, she sat beside Xinyue, and Xinyue smiled, "Okay." ”

"Madam, it is usually the mother who combs her daughter's hair for the first time, and they all say that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, please ask the lady to do it for you." The mother who combed her hair was a blessed person who was both husband and wife, and had both children and daughters, Xinyue looked at the acacia wooden comb she handed over, and shook her head, "Come on, Yao'er knows my mind." ”

Yao'er looked at Xinyue's face from the bronze mirror, and then nodded, "Mama, come on." ”

Xinyue changed her clothes, combed her dignified bun, broke the ground, wore two precious golden steps, and the yellow robe on her body was also a bright color that she had never worn.

"Yao'er, listen to the grandmothers, I'll go ahead and watch."

"Go ahead, sister-in-law." Yao'er looked back and glanced at the new moon, who had already walked out of the room.

Because she still has to feast guests, the matter of the new moon is very complicated, but she is willing to eat.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Xinyue saw Rong Xu, he saw that Xinyue was a little unnatural, and Xinyue was a little strange, "It's all about the inner house, and the little prince can leave it alone." ”

"You, you..." Rong Xu was a little choked, you didn't say anything for a long time.

"Although I am not Yao'er's sister-in-law now, I am still my aunt's niece and Yao'er's cousin, so let her marry smoothly and live a good life, which is what I promised my aunt." Xinyue didn't have time to talk here, so she led Feng'er and Fei'er to the kitchen.

"Madam, maybe the little prince didn't mean that." Fei'er turned around and looked at Rong Xu as if she was a little stunned.

"Rong Xu..." Xinyue paused, she didn't expect that she blurted out Rong Xu's name, shook her head, and shook off her unimportant thoughts, there are so many things, why bother thinking about anything else.

"Little prince, you obviously asked Lang Zhong, and you know that Mrs. is not lightly ill, so get up early in the morning and ask her not to be so tired, why did Mrs. misunderstand you and you didn't say anything?" It was the little maid Changshui next to Rong Xu who spoke, he looked at Rong Xu who was in a trance, and wanted to persuade him to explain his words to his wife clearly.

Rong Xu shook his head, "She, she won't listen to me say anything, let's go, let's go to the front yard to have a look." ”

"Yes" Changshui followed in front of Rong Xu and went to check the matter of the guests' carriages and horses in person.

"Remember, today's feast must be foolproof. Dim sum and tea, for the elderly ladies, prepare more strong tea, dim sum should not be so sweet, young ladies and ladies, prepare weak tea, dim sum taste is also fresh, sweeter is the best. The seats should also be arranged well, and the people who will come to the banquet today will be arranged according to us, and there is nothing wrong with it..."The new moon looked at the servants who had come early in the morning to listen to the errand, and arranged today's affairs one by one.

Unconsciously, the sky was already bright, and there were constantly guests present, at this moment, Xinyue suddenly frowned, and asked the maid next to her, "Isn't there any chaos on the carriage road ahead?" ”

"Yes, on the carriage road in front, the little prince sent someone to keep an eye early in the morning, and sent eight or nine small servants, from the street in front, to watch, there will be no chaos at all."

"Where's the seating in the outer court?" Xinyue remembered that every time there was a banquet at home in the past, there would always be some adults who were not dealing with each other, and the person who greeted the relatives arrived immediately, but there was no chaos at all.

"The little prince has been staring at the front since the first guest, Lord Li, came, and there will be no chaos at all."

"That's good" Crescent Moon frowned, then stretched out, and before she could think about it, Crescent Moon heard the sound of firecrackers, and looked at the main entrance a little blankly, "It's here so soon?" ”

"Madam, madam, Aunt Cao has come to pick up Miss Yao'er." Feng'er happily ran in from the front, and Xinyue smiled, "Let's go, let's go see Yao'er, are you ready?" ”

As soon as Xinyue walked to the door, it was still her own yard, and it was already full of people watching the excitement.

Entering the house, after Xinyue saw Yao'er wearing a phoenix crown, she shed tears, "Madam, don't cry, Miss Yao was already attracted by Miss Shan'er just now, and she cried a lot, and now if you are crying, Miss Yao's makeup will be spent." ”

"Sister-in-law..."Yao'er still saw Xinyue's tears and shed tears.

Xinyue felt that she took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Don't make up for it, this is what the grandmothers have finally done for you." ”

"Sister-in-law" Shan'er stood beside Yao'er, looking at the new moon with bright eyes.

"Shan'er, Yao'er, in this way, the three of us don't have to worry about our aunt anymore. She was finally able to get a good rest. Xinyue took Yao'er and Shan'er's hands, the hands of the three were stacked together, and Shan'er touched Yao'er's nails, "This nail is dyed with impatiens, it's so beautiful." ”

"Okay, okay, the three young ladies, they're all wives, don't cry. The team to welcome relatives has already arrived at the door, and it is estimated that several young masters and aunts will not be able to stop our Aunt Cao, who is both civil and military, for a long time. Mama Wang came in from outside, looked at the three of them, and almost hugged her head and cried, so she quickly pulled away.

Xinyue picked up the hijab on one side, and then handed a corner to Shan'er, Shan'er paused, reached out and took it, and together with Xinyue, covered Yao'er's head, Yao'er reached out and took Xinyue's hand, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

"Madam, I'm going to the front hall, the prince has already passed."

"Okay" Xinyue shook Yao'er's hand, reached out to wipe away her tears with a handkerchief, and walked to the front hall.

The front hall was already full of people, and as soon as Xinyue came in, he saw King Yu walking out from the other side and sitting firmly on the right seat, while Rong Xu sat on the lower hand, and there were two uncles and aunts sitting on the other side.

And beside Rong Xu, there was a vacant seat, and Xinyue was a little hesitant, but she heard a shout outside the door, "Cao Jiajielang has come to borrow the bride." ”

In this way, Xinyue did not hesitate and sat behind Rong Xu.

Rong Xu glanced at the crescent moon with a little red in his eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay" Xinyue looked out of the door, and Cao Jie, who came in high spirits, laughed, "Little prince, look, this is the expression that a groom should have." ”

Rong Xu looked at Cao Jie, there was a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden, the young man's youth and excitement jumped on that handsome face, red clothes, and he barely held back, but still couldn't hide the brisk steps, and remembered that when he married Xinyue, that kind of expression of resistance and impatience, Xinyue didn't see it with his own eyes, but he should have heard a lot of people's discussions.

wanted to say something to Xinyue, but as soon as Rong Xu saw the wound on her forehead, it was as if something was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't speak.
