It's not the first time that the Wang family has heard such words, but after Grandpa Guo finished speaking, the Wang family still glanced at Xinyue very unnaturally, and then dimmed his eyes, "Grandpa Guo is right, Lu'er has no way to compare with Mao'er, and the concubine body has no reason to do this at all." ”

Xinyue suddenly felt that this Duchess Wang was really pitiful, as a woman, it was right to find a way out for her children, but if it was for her own children, it would be impossible to say that she would harm other people's precious children.

Xinyue felt thirsty, and at this time, people turned over on their backs, and no one prepared tea, so she endured it and said to Guogong, "With the words of Grandpa Guo, Shan'er must be very relieved." It's just that what do you plan to do with today's Duchess and Princess's mistakes? ”

"What could I be wrong?" Wang immediately retorted.

"Wake up, today is a good day for Tim Ding Tianxi, don't waste time on this kind of grinding thing. Xinyue said, you took the matter of your niece going to give Mao'er as a concubine, which stimulated Shan'er, and punished her for kneeling, stimulating her to give birth prematurely, I will only give you one chance, you answer me now, do you do it, or don't you do it? Xinyue felt that the grandfather of this country really didn't understand the person who made a mistake, and asked vertically, how can he recognize it, and was about to speak, Kong Mao coughed and stopped Xinyue.

Xinyue looked back at him, Kong Mao shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Look at how she answers." ”

Sure enough, when Wang heard this, her face changed, she quickly thought for a moment, and then whispered, "It's just a misunderstanding." ”

"Misunderstanding? You have to hurt Shan'er..."As soon as Xinyue heard this, she couldn't stop talking, but was stopped by Kong Mao, "Father, in dealing with this matter, Xinyue, you calm down first." ”

"Xinyue, when I'm done asking, it's not too late for you to speak" Grandpa Guo glanced at Xinyue coldly, Xinyue immediately stopped his voice, Grandpa Guo is really, a person who makes people feel cold, Xinyue is involuntary, and he also obeys his orders.

"You continue" Guogong said to the Wang clan when he saw that Xinyue was silent.

"It's my cousin, who said that she had a concubine, and she couldn't be tolerated by his wife, after the child's mother died, seeing that she was old, she couldn't even say that she was a good person, Shan'er wasn't pregnant, and the concubine thought about it, let me, my cousin, point it to Mao'er as a concubine, and bring it today, just for Shan'er to see." The Wang family still chose to put most of the responsibility on his cousin and niece as Xinyue said, and Xinyue felt that this Wang family really didn't have any dignity as a woman.

"Even so, you are still the one who was falsely accused, did nothing, and caused a fuss?" Grandpa Guo spoke a little yin and yang, but he was much more clever than Xinyue.

"The concubine was not strictly supervised, and she didn't care about Shan'er's physical condition, so she told her about her mother's family, which led to the current disaster." Wang lowered her head, maybe she lowered her head to admit her husband's mistake like this, she did it many times, but in front of Xinyue, an outsider, it may still be unbearable, Xinyue sighed, even if she didn't find her problem, Grandpa Guo would not let her go.

"If you are wrong, how can you atone for your sins?" Grandpa Guo raised his head, looking at the Wang family with an unknown smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The concubine body is also an unintentional mistake." Seeing her husband smiling, Wang knelt on the ground timidly.

"I have no intention today, things have become like this, and if I have a heart that day, won't this country's mansion have to be broken and raided?" Grandpa Guo raised his voice, and Wang was trembling with fright.

Xinyue felt that her heart was weak, and she felt more and more thirsty, Kong Mao saw Xinyue swallowing her saliva and quietly comforted, "Don't be afraid, my father is always like this." ”

Crescent Moon shook her head in her heart, when was she scared, she was just thirsty.

"Since you are so negligent, I don't care if you are intentional or unintentional to Shan'er, in short, Shan'er's affairs, you don't have to worry about it, you yourself don't have a son, although Kong Lu is incompetent, but he likes women very much, not to mention that you have a cousin niece, that is, the daughter of your Wang family marryed, he is afraid that he will accept it." There is also the matter of the backyard of the Guogong Mansion, Shan'er also gave birth to a child, and she should also learn to be a housekeeper, since Shan'er came out of the confinement, the affairs of the backhouse of the Guogong Mansion will be in her charge, and you..." What are you still doing here, and you can't go down yet? After speaking, Grandpa Guo rolled up his sleeves and looked impatient.

When Xinyue was young, I heard my aunt talk about how difficult this Kong Guogong was, strict self-discipline, restraint, and notoriously unpleasant to speak, but Xinyue had seen him a few times, maybe just to ask for peace, so he didn't experience this, so he had no sense of oppression. It's no wonder that Shan'er also said when she talked about Grandpa Guo, "A person like my father..."

"I don't know if I deal with it like this, and the new moon will be satisfied immediately?" Wang almost covered his face and walked out, and Grandpa Guo turned around and looked at the new moon.

Xinyue frowned, stood up, and said a little stubbornly, "This is Grandpa Guo's family matter, and Grandpa Guo will handle it personally, which is naturally good." ”

"If you're satisfied, it's fine. Come on, serve tea. Seeing that Xinyue's mouth was dry, Grandpa Guo couldn't help frowning, "You still look around at people's faces, so that you completely suppress your thoughts." ”

"Huh?" Xinyue didn't know what Grandpa Guo suddenly said.

Grandpa Guo shook his head, "After drinking tea, let's go and see Shan'er, I still have something in front of me, so I'll leave first." ”

"Yes" Xinyue and Kong Mao sent Grandpa Guo out together, seeing that all the outsiders were going out, Xinyue slumped on the chair, saw the maid coming over with tea, and hurriedly beckoned, "Quick, give me tea." ”

The maid handed the hot tea to Xinyue, she drank it urgently, and as soon as the tip of her tongue and lips and teeth touched the water, she felt a hot pain, and she quickly threw away the cup "Hiss, hiss... Why is this tea so hot? ”

"Slow down, quick, go to those ice cubes." Before Kong Mao could recover from the crescent moon's sudden collapse on the chair, he was immediately thrown the cup, only to see that the cup, wrong for his robe, fell at his feet and shattered into three halves, and the crescent moon's mouth was immediately burned red.

"Bring me a cup of warm tea first, your Yanwen Mansion is still a century-old Hou Mansion, talk for a long time, don't even give tea to the guests, give it or burn off a layer of skin." As she spoke, the new moon hissed and inhaled the cold air.

Li'er personally brought the tea, "Here, madam, this is green plum tea, with ice cubes in it, you drink it slowly, quench your thirst and relieve your burns." ”

Xinyue was happy when she saw this cup of tea, and sure enough, just holding the cup in her hand, it was cold and cold. Xinyue took a sip slowly, and sure enough, it was like a burst of cold air coming in, followed by a sweet and sour taste with the fragrance of tea.

After drinking tea, Xinyue asked Li'er, "How is Shan'er?" ”

"Madame drank some medicine just now, and the doctor said that she would wake up after sleeping for half an hour." Li'er will be very happy to hear Guogong's disposition.

"That's fine, you prepare a room for me, and I'll wait for her to wake up before leaving. And this green plum tea, another cup" Crescent Moon instructed Lil, and Lil curtsied "Yes"

Seeing Li'er go out, Xinyue looked at the green plum tea in her hand in a daze, she was thinking about the Wang family repeatedly, because she saw some things in the Wang family.

"What are you thinking?" Kong Mao looked at Xinyue for a while, and suddenly spoke, which really frightened Xinyue, "Are you still there?" ”

"This is my room, I'm not here there?" Kong Mao was so frightened that Xinyue was discolored, and suddenly felt a little funny.

"This is Shan'er's room, aren't you sharing a room with Shan'er? If you don't have a place to go, go back to your room. ”

"Tell me first, what are you thinking?" The two have grown up together since childhood, and when they talk, they are naturally more comfortable than ordinary people.

Xinyue Zheng felt that her heart was depressed, and talking to Kong Mao could also relieve it, so she asked, "Has your father always been like this to your stepmother?" ”

After thinking about it seriously, he nodded, "For as long as I can remember, it's been like this." Sometimes it's more than that. ”

"For example?"

"The affairs of the family and the back house, although they have always been managed by the Wang family, have always done well, and there are no mistakes or omissions, over the years, especially after I married a wife, the Wang family has treated me and Shan'er well, on the surface. But as soon as my father asked, Wang was like a great enemy, as if she had done something wrong, and when my father asked, she was like drinking a real elixir, and she told her what she felt was inappropriate from beginning to end. Over the years, Shan'er has not seen her jokes less, and even Wang's own daughter-in-law has not respected her much because of this. So, in general, this Wang family is really a bit sad. Kong Mao said very objectively, more things he hadn't seen, but I was afraid it would be worse

Crescent Moon sighed, "It turns out that being someone's stepmother is such a terrible thing. ”

"Why did you suddenly ask that, and sigh like this?"

"Don't tell Shan'er about this, the Queen Mother's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and she intends to point me out to her nephew, that is, the second son of Marquis Jiang Wan, General Jiang Yangjiang, before she passes by."

"Uncle Jiang Shi? Isn't he a man of my father's generation and your father's? After hearing this, Kong Mao's face changed slightly.

Seeing him so surprised, Xinyue thought that others would not accept this matter, "Yes, he is fifty years old in Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and he has a ten-year-old son." I'm only ten years older than his son, how can I be a good stepmother. ”

"You're so discouraged?" Kong Mao has never seen Xinyue deflated since he became an adult, and he didn't want to do a thing.

"I finally got out of the quagmire of Yuwangfu, and I had to be pushed into a new quagmire, in short, I was rolling in the mud anyway, I thought about it, why did I toss it so much." At the end of the day, the new moon is really deflated.

"You don't want to marry, can the Queen Mother force you?" Kong Mao felt that he had no direction now, like a fish out of water, without struggling, it was really a little cute.

Xinyue blinked and took a deep breath, "If the Queen Mother dies... If this is her wish, I don't think I can refuse. ”

"The Queen Mother has always been healthy before, and I haven't heard that she is uncomfortable there, you won't be too worried" Kong Mao also took a sip of tea, but it didn't seem to be as refreshing as the cup of green plum tea in the new moon.

Xinyue naturally wouldn't tell Kong Mao that she already knew the queen mother's limit, but she was silent.

"In this way, if you really don't want to get married, go to the temple, be a lay disciple, wait, wait for this rumor, it's not too late to think about it in the future."

"What kind of bad idea are you, if I go to the temple to be a lay disciple, my brother, Xu Xintai, will have to shave my hair with a knife and make me a real sister-in-law."

"Then you go to be a sister-in-law, anyway, you just want to be dull and live your life alone." Kong Mao knew that Xinyue was still a person who coveted Hongchen, but no one in this world could make her move, not even the prince.

"I don't want it, I can't eat fasting and chanting Buddha." The head and hands of the crescent moon shook like rattles.

"Then you, just let Jiang Yang refuse to marry, he has rejected so many women before, it's okay to reject one of you."

"I also plan to do the same, but I heard that his mother is determined to renew the strings for him."

"Old Madam Zhuang, she is indeed a woman who is not easy to deal with." Kong Mao nodded sincerely.

Xinyue thought of this old lady Zhuang and felt thirsty again.

"I see that your brain is confused when you fight, why can't the Hou daughter of the Xu family be your steproom? Is she not good-looking, or is she a loss of virtue? You are still picking, you don't look at yourself, a girl in her twenties, how wronged you are. When Mrs. Zhuang saw that her son was about to speak, she immediately lost her temper and waved the bowl at hand on the ground.

"Madame, discourage. Yang'er hasn't said anything yet, you just dropped the bowl, I, I..." Jiang Wan looked helplessly at the white rice in his hand, which he had only eaten one bite of, and the original table of his favorite food, now there is nothing.

"I, my son, just want to say goodbye to my father and mother." Jiang Yang lifted his clothes, not knowing whether to kneel down and say goodbye, or do something else.

He didn't want to kneel, because in front of him, he lost the oil fragrant chicken cooked by his mother herself, which is his father's favorite dish, and he can eat most of it alone.

"As soon as he lifted his leg, I knew what he was trying to pull. I don't allow, if you dare to mention half of the matter about the Hou daughter of the Xu family, I will, I will..."

"Mother, I'm eating." Jiang Zan looked at the braised pork on his rice, which was also cooked by his mother, and he was really ready to eat it, but when he heard his mother talk about it, he suddenly lost his appetite.

"You don't have an appetite, give it to Lao Tzu to eat." Jiang Wan lived to be almost seventy years old, and he was lifted off the table before he could eat, but he could only dare to be angry, stretched out his chopsticks, and sandwiched the braised pork in his eldest son's bowl into his own bowl. ”

Hearing his father say this, Jiang Yang had no choice but to kneel on the ground and "make amends to his mother." ”

"If you don't make amends, my mother doesn't care, how can a mother be angry with her son, I just, I just want you to have someone who knows cold and hot, cook you a delicious meal, sew you a fitting dress, and when my father and I go, someone can take care of you." Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhuang shed tears.

Hou Ye, who originally ate a bowl of rice in one go, saw that his wife was like this, put down the bowl in his hand, and hugged his wife, "Don't cry, this bastard, stubborn temper, follow his Lao Tzu, it's all my fault, my Lao Tzu's fault." ”

"You still know that you are stubborn, you still know." When Zhuang heard her husband's words, she punched him with tears and laughter.

"Alright, alright, stop crying."

Jiang Zan and Jiang Yang looked at their mother like this, and they didn't feel good in their hearts, Jiang Yang said, "My son has seen his father since he was a child, and he loves his mother alone, but he doesn't understand this, but since he has a heart to heart with my wife, he wants to be the same as his father, only to my wife in this life, take care of my wife and my son, stand up to the sky, and live up to anyone." It's just that my wife has a thin life and can't grow old with me, and my son is disrespectful, so I asked my father, if my mother goes early, can you marry again? ”

"Naturally, I won't," Marquis Jiang denied, "It's just that everything, there are no ifs and yeses, things happen by themselves, although your wife doesn't want to be like this, but she is the one who died after all." Everyone has to look forward and look back too often, it will only make you stuck in the past, and it will not be good for you. You always have to accept some new people to come to your life and create new lives and new memories for you. ”

"Brother Yang, what my father said is right, we all know your feelings for your younger siblings, because we are also people who have experienced it. On the other hand, if you go one step ahead of your younger siblings, do you want your younger siblings to spend their lives mourning you? Jiang Zan also came to persuade Jiang Yang.

"Of course I don't want to." Jiang Yang said in a low voice.

"Then you just give someone a chance. You didn't like your brother and sister at the beginning, and you slowly opened your heart to her, and then you regained your deep affection for her, and your sister-in-law and I also didn't like each other for a long time, and we knew each other's good, so we were really together. Therefore, as long as you have a heart of acceptance, you will always have a new, happy life. Jiang Zan patted his brother's shoulder and said sincerely.

"It's just that the Hou daughter of the Xu family is too young." Jiang Yang was always reluctant to let go.

"You still say..."Zhuang Shi saw that his son was really stubborn, "I will marry you to marry another continuation, but you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, they are young, since ancient times, why are you afraid to marry a little wife?" ”

"Yang'er, you step aside, go back and think about it, and then come back to your father and mother to talk back. You have never let my father down, and this time, my father does not want you to disappoint me. Seeing that the situation was getting more and more tense, Jiang Wan had to let Jiang Yang leave first.

Jiang Yang listened, and after kowtowing to his parents, he turned around and left.

"This donkey, donkey." Zhuang stomped his feet angrily, Jiang Wan sat in his place, thought for a moment and said to his wife and eldest son, "Let, why don't we find some opportunities for the two of us to be alone, so that the two of them can get to know each other, maybe, Yang'er will agree?" ”

"Now it's not just Yang'er who doesn't agree, I look at it, and I ask, the little marquis girl is not very willing, it is the Queen Mother who is forced to refuse." This is where Zhuang is more upset.

"Then the method that my father said is even more clever." Jiang Zan felt that his father had said a lot, and asked rhetorically, "What should we do?" ”

"In a few days, Xu Xintai will be released, and I will ask Yang'er to personally send Xu Xintai home."

"The two of them can't say a few words when they meet," Jiang Zan felt that this was too simple.

"After Xu Xintai returns home, that girl will go back to live in Zhuangzi outside her city, and Yang'er is just going to Beiying to train soldiers, and the two are not far away, so I will let Yang'er bring her something every time, and they will naturally have a chance to meet." Zhuang made up his mind and immediately came to the spirit.

The three of them discussed, Jiang Hou Ye was more attentive than fighting, and Jiang Zan was more devoted than writing a song, so the three of them could naturally discuss a set of flawless strategies.

And the clear new moon that has been arranged on the one hand is unaware, and while eating, she waits for Shan'er to wake up.

The dishes of the Yanwen Mansion are a must in Jinling, and Xinyue is worried at the moment, but she can't care about tasting it, but she just thinks that the taste is delicious and salty.

"Madame, our Madame is awake." Xinyue was half-full, and Li'er ran in, and when Xinyue heard this, a smile immediately jumped between her eyebrows, "Really? ”

"Yes, the Imperial Doctor is already checking our wife's pulse." With that, Li'er walked out of the wing room with the new moon and went to Shan'er's room.

As soon as she arrived at the door, the new moon heard a sound of talking from the house.

Crescent Moon did not go in, but looked at the couple inside through the curtain that had been lifted.

Kong Mao hugged his newborn son, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and looked at the child for a while, and then looked at his weak wife, "Shan'er, it's really hard for you, people say that this child is fatter than a full-term little doll." ”

"As long as he is in good health, it is not in vain that I took such great effort to give birth to him." As she spoke, Shan'er reached out and touched the child's cheek, but found that her hand was cold and tight, for fear of freezing the child, so she withdrew her hand, but was held by Kong Mao, "Your hand is really cold, I'll cover it for you." ”

In the past, my aunt also planned to marry herself to Kong Mao, but at that time, Rong Xu's fiancée who had been set early was still Xiao. Xinyue may have looked at him attentively, because after all, he wants to be his husband.

And Kong Mao has always been the polite, even a bit of a nerdy teenager, his clothes are always meticulous, the boy is tied, formal and extravagant, and he always holds a book in his hand that has been flipped over and over, and it is about to fall apart.

Both of them also have a vague and hazy feeling, growing up little by little. Later, there was a change, and what changed was not only the fate of Xiao Nanyin.

Now, when he was a teenager, he was also a young man who had moved his heart, he already had someone to treat him with his heart, and he had precious children, and the new moon had long since ceased to look forward to it, and the two of them had changed from friends to lifelong friends.
