Yang Baodai had a very long dream, in the dream she was still an ordinary girl in Dajing Village, every day before dawn to get up to wash soybeans for Yang Tofu, wait for the fish belly to go to cook, and then send her younger brother to the town to study, in the transfer to help the family buy tofu, her needlework is good, occasionally can make up for the family, the life is not rich, but not poor, the family and Lele.

She also dreamed of snow, snowflakes falling down one by one, she went out and saw that Yang Baoyuan had washed the soybeans to be washed, and Yang Tofu also brought her the hot bean curd, but Jia Zhu sent two bowls of bean curd to her brother's stomach. Then she sent Yang Baoyuan home hungry.

The wind and snow on the road were getting heavier and heavier, she was so cold, her frozen hands and feet were stiff, and her skin was cracked by the cold wind.

Then, suddenly, she opened her eyes.

Yang Baodai raised her hand and rubbed her temples, she actually fell asleep against the corridor.

Looking down at Biqing, who was kneeling on the ground and falling asleep against the corridor, she smiled faintly inexplicably, and raised her eyes to look at the quiet night sky.

The night in the capital is dark, not as starry as Qinghua Town, not as vast as Dajing Village, boxy sky, moonlight is covered by countless dark clouds, and a few weak moonlights slowly seep out from it.

This moon is like Zhao Yuanzhi, all she can see and feel is that faint light, if he can tell him calmly, she will definitely be willing to understand, trust and cooperate.

Active truth and passive truth, the ending and mood are completely different.

She looked down at Biqing, who had woken up, and said lightly: "Go back to sleep, don't catch a cold, this weather is cold, it's not a joke." ”

The early winter in the capital is a little colder than the deep winter in Qinghua Town. It was only the beginning of November, and it was foggy all day as if it was going to snow.

Biqing snorted, and immediately stood up, how cold the weather, Yang Baodai also accompanied her to blow the cold wind here, Zhao Yuanzhi knew not to blow her head.

"God, the slave maid is actually napping with her, it doesn't matter madam, the slave maid will go to the kitchen to boil you a bowl of Aqiu! Chewie! - " Biqing said halfway, being favored by the cold wind twice, sneezing hard, feeling cold, she touched her nose and sniffed, "Madam, you stay away from the slave maid, the wind will be cold to you in a while!" ”

Yang Baodai was funny, watching Biqing wipe her nose with her cuffs, and said softly: "Let's go, I'll go and make ginger soup for you, looking at you naïve, your body is not as good as mine." ”

"It's too cold in the capital, Aqiu Aqiu!" Bi Qing covered her mouth and said, "Where is it colder than Fuzhou!" ”

Yes, it's really too cold in the capital, and people who are warm will become hard-hearted when they get here.

When I arrived in the kitchen, Yang Baodai quickly found ginger, cleaned and grinded.

Biqing obediently sat on the stove to make a fire for her, hugged her knees, baked the fire, and said, "The young lady is so good, I heard that you are married to Zhao ······ Bah, since I married the young master, I didn't do housework, and now there are people everywhere, and you make soup for me personally. ”

Biqing didn't know what happened in the room just now, and she was puzzled when she held her chin, she used to see other husbands and wives arguing, and it was the husband who coaxed his wife, why didn't this young master come to find Madame? It's just weird, isn't it?

Hearing this, Yang Baodai washed Jiang's hand, hesitated twice, still lowered her eyes, and said, "Do you all think I'm doing well?" ”

"That's not it, the young master hurts people a lot, every day I go to the old lady to say goodbye, I will always make up a sentence, my mother can't embarrass Bao Dai, I will discuss everything with my son." Bi Qingle hehe, she is a stupid and simple character, raise her hand to pick up firewood and throw it inside, don't turn her head and look at Yang Baodai with a smile: "The young lady must be very powerful, otherwise how can the young master be so unswervingly liked." ”

"What's good about him." Yang Baodai stared at the slowly boiling ginger soup.

"The young master is very good!" Biqing nodded vigorously and snapped her fingers: "Looks like Zhilan Yushu, Sven is polite, or Xie Yuan!" Kung Fu is also good! ”

Yang Baodai listened quietly, looking at Biqing's flickering big eyes, but she just smiled, Zhao Yuanzhi may really have nothing bad.

Waiting for the ginger soup to be drunk, the fish belly was white outside, Yang Baodai returned to the yard, and looked at Zhao Yuanzhi standing quietly at the door, Yang Baodai's footsteps were first, but she didn't speak, she staggered by, as if she didn't look at him, took Biqing in to freshen up, and then ordered: "Carry my futon to the side room." ”

Biqing sighed, and her movements were very neat.

"Bao Dai." Zhao Yuanzhi watched the futon being exploded, walked in two steps, and said patiently to his little wife: "Don't be like this, you can beat me if you are angry, I can scold me······" How can this be slept in separate beds! That couple slept in separate rooms!

Yang Baodai didn't overdo it: "Let's go, it's not early, it's time to ask my mother for peace." ”

The Zhu family had heard about last night's incident early, and they were also anxious for the little couple.

At this moment, watching the husband and wife come in one after the other, Zhu watched Zhao Yuanzhi come in, picked up the dates in his hand and threw them at him, and scolded him directly: "Don't kneel down to admit your mistake to your daughter-in-law!" It's up to you! ”

Although she should not give birth to a child in response to Yang Baodai, except for this shortcoming, Yang Baodai has no trace of fault to find out.

And the Zhu family also has selfish intentions, she can suppress Yang Baodai, the daughter-in-law, but if her son has other partial concubines in the future, won't she look down on the old lady with her identity, and Yang Baodai will have to suppress it at that time, so the Zhu family has made a big decision, as long as Yang Baodai is not there, she has absolute authority in this family.

Many years later, Zhu is also glad about today's decision.

Zhao Yuanzhi looked at Zhu's aggressive gaze, and Yu Guang looked at Yang Baodai next to him, knowing that this person had a temper that would not be seen if he was angry.

"Bao Dai, come to my mother's place." Zhu beckoned and asked everyone in the house to go out.

Yang Baodai walked over and smiled lightly: "I'm fine." ”

"It's okay, you can help this turtle grandson speak!" Zhu slapped the table fiercely, eager to press Zhao Yuanzhi to the ground and beat him wildly, and his angry voice became louder: "Zhao Yuanzhi, tell me what you don't know what you're busy with outside, where is this home inside and outside is not Bao Dai busy, your two friends who don't see the end of the dragon, when did Bao Dai slack off, you, you are good, dare to go out of your daughter-in-law's airway, you say, is it that wild flower that does not flow into the stream that has fascinated your eyes!" ”

Whose man can stay calmly when he takes his daughter-in-law out of the house, this dead boy not only doesn't go to find it himself, but also doesn't send someone to find it, waiting for Yang Baodai to sleep in the garden koi for a night, is it still a person!

Yang Baodai poured tea for Zhu's, shook her head and said, "No, my mother thinks too much." ”

Zhu Shi was so angry that he couldn't do it: "Son, this dead boy is too floating, and he knows how to be obedient if he beats him hard!" ”

"It's my blessing that I can get such a good husband as Yuan Zhen." Yang Baodai cracked last night's incident in a few words: "Yesterday I drank too much tea, and I ate pastries greedily, and I was out at night with candles, I don't know who chewed the root of my mother's tongue?" ”

"Really?" Zhu squinted at his son.

Zhao Yuanzhi hummed lowly.

This is the tacit understanding between Zhao Yuanzhi and Yang Baodai, the matter between husband and wife will not involve the Zhu family, as long as the Zhu family is quiet, it is the peace of the world.

After talking, Yang Baodai went out under the pretext of dealing with housekeeping, and Zhao Yuanzhi was left by Zhu to lecture.

As soon as she walked out of Luhe Courtyard, Zhao Yuanzhi's Xiao Si stopped her, and Yang Baodai was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"Madame······ The little one wants to say a word of defense for our young master, yesterday the young master was cowardly, he didn't dare to go to Madame, but he also stood outside and Madame came back before entering. Xiao Si paused as he spoke, and then continued: "Even when he is out of the house, the young master always remembers his wife. ”

Yang Baodai was stunned, and the hand in the random sleeve shook involuntarily.

So this is the most terrifying place for Zhao Yuanzhi, he has created himself very glorious, he is a talented son Xie Yuan, a good husband and a good son, and a good nephew who is willing to help the second room, and he writes the four big characters of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness all over his body.

Yang Baodai looked at Xiao Si, but said lightly: "Since you follow the young master, you will serve well." ”

Raising her feet and dangling in the courtyard of the mansion for half an hour, it was estimated that Zhao Yuanzhi had already changed her clothes and went out, so Yang Baodai raised her feet and returned to the courtyard.

But as soon as he stepped into the house, he saw that Zhao Yuanzhi had not left yet.

Zhao Yuanzhi held the book in his hand, watched her come in, and hurriedly got up and walked over: "Bao Dai, let's eat first." After a pause, he hesitated for a long time, and said softly: "Shall we talk while eating?" ”

Biqing was very obedient and closed the door, so that the people in the courtyard were far away.

In the room, the husband and wife sat opposite each other, and a table was full of Yang Baodai's favorite food, Zhao Yuanzhi blew ginger soup for her, and said, "Take a sip, yesterday-"

"Are you not touching me in the future, or do you want me to take the coercion decoction by myself?" Yang Baodai pinched the chopsticks surprisingly calmly.

She looked at Zhao Yuanzhi and took a deep breath, then continued, laughing tiredly, and coughed slightly, "I understand your hard work and your imprisonment, you need power and status, you want to avenge Yuanchun, you want to carry forward the Zhao family, and I just meet all your requirements for a qualified wife, so you will like me, right?" ”

Yang Baodai looked at Zhao Yuanzhi with a smile, as if she was saying it to Zhao Yuanzhi, as if she was saying it to herself: "In the future, I will also do a good job of a wife's instinct." ”

"Bao Dai!" Zhao Yuanzhi didn't like Yang Baodai's attitude, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to confess, but he said calmly: "Not in the future, if you want to have a child, we will have a child, do you want to-"

The voice was interrupted, Yang Baodai slowly put down her chopsticks, and looked relieved: "Even if I stop taking those things from now on, I won't easily conceive a child, right, you are calculating, you have long expected what I should do if I knew, right?" ”

Yang Baodai's eyes suddenly were slightly sour, but in the end, she endured it, and the corners of her mouth kept a smile: "Let's eat, since it's all said, life will go on." ”

Life has to go on.

Zhao Yuanzhi is too dead, if she wants to reconcile with him at this moment, it will break the alliance between Zhao Yuanzhi and Sheng Heng, and Yang Baomei will also lose the only foreign backer who can support her in the Sheng family, even if she doesn't think about herself, she has to think about Yang Baomei's hard-won happiness.

Zhao Yuanzhi never went out for a day, and Yang Baodai always followed behind him what he did.

The people in the mansion were aware of it, but they couldn't say anything wrong, just that the young master hadn't been with his wife for too long, so he deliberately took the time to come out, and the stewards were also very bright-eyed and didn't bother, so that the two of them had a chance to get along alone.

Zhu passed lunch on his side, and after eating, he asked the husband and wife to accompany him to play the leaf card, Zhu looked at the husband and wife who had no communication throughout the whole process, and could only find a topic by themselves, so he asked: "What about the donkey?" Why haven't you been watching it lately? ”

"Oh, I carved out a place behind my yard for it to use, it's very good, if my mother misses her, I'll ask Biqing to send it to you in a while." Yang Baodai said.

"No, no, take care of it." Zhu really couldn't find a topic, winning or losing, and finally his son won two strings of money, and scolded him for two sentences, but surprisingly didn't reply, Zhu knew that something was wrong.

Seeing the husband and wife leaving, Zhu leaned on the Luohan bed and worried, and the girl next to him, Xiao Tang, whispered: "Old lady, I think it may be that the young master wants to mention a girl, but Madame doesn't allow it, our young master feels sorry for Madame······"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The Zhu family is still very confident in his son, and the daughter-in-law who married back with fifty taels of silver! She said that Yang Baodai dared to lead a donkey and run away from home, how could there be other women in her heart!

Xiao Tang sighed, his voice was two times quieter, and he leaned in front of Zhu and said: "Just now, the slave maid went to inquire, and they all fell asleep yesterday, and they didn't know how to quarrel, someone eavesdropped, and vaguely heard what kind of children and other topics, probably the young master wants to have a child, and when it is put under Mrs., Mrs. is unwilling to ······."

Zhu's ah, she still understands the problem of the heirs of large families, even if she is a concubine, she must be raised under the name of the main mother, if the child Bao Dai has not moved, she will not be able to sit firmly in the position of the main mother······

Zhao Yuanzhi is helping her! How can this kid be so unreasonable!

Xiao Tang is now very valued by the Zhu family, so he was bold and said, "So, just the old lady brought up a girl." ”

"That's not going to work." Zhu shook his head, her son looked at Yang Baodai more than her eyes, so she didn't go to such a dead thing.

Xiao Tang is an ambitious girl, watching Zhao Yuanzhi walking around every day, why didn't she not think about it, so she said: "The slave maid just inquired, the lady and the young master slept in separate rooms, as long as the old lady is a little uncomfortable······" Xiao Yu said and leaned into Zhu's ear and read some words.

After listening to Xiao Tangerine's words, Zhu gritted his teeth and was silent for a while, and slowly hummed.

***

The husband and wife walked silently all the way towards the courtyard, and Zhao Yuanzhi took the lead in speaking and said softly: "I've been in the capital for a long time, I'll accompany you out for a walk." ”

"Not necessarily." Yang Baodai shook her head, her voice was a little unenergetic, and she felt a little groggy in her head.

Zhao Yuanzhi was silent for a moment, knowing that this person was still angry, and said, "Why don't you go and see the eldest sister?" ”

Yang Baodai still said lightly: "I don't want to now." ”

The two had just entered the courtyard, and Zhao Yuanzhi saw that Yang Baodai didn't want to pay attention to him, so he took the initiative to say: "I'll go to the study to deal with something, and call me if you have anything." He was wondering whether to call Yang Baomei over to persuade him.

Yang Baodai snorted and stopped talking.

Biqing was cleaning up in the wing room, watching Yang Baodai come in and hold the door, so she sighed and said, "This door is not strong, the slave maid brought her own futon, and she will lay the floor for Mrs. here at night, and she can talk to Mrs. ”

Biqing lowered her head and continued to clean up, and said: "But the slave is talkative, what is going on, the young master can-" There was a sudden banging sound in her ears, and Biqing turned around instantly, and saw Yang Baodai falling to the ground.

"Madame! Oh no! Come on! Madame fainted! Biqing shouted, walked over and lowered her body to touch, and noticed that Yang Baodai's forehead was hot.

Zhao Yuanzhi rushed in quickly, and Bi Qing knelt on the ground and was frightened: "Young master, Madame has a high fever!" ”

"Bao Dai!" Zhao Yuanzhi pushed Biqing away, and his voice was not as soft as usual, "Bao Dai?!" Yang Baodai! Yang Baodai! Wake up! He put his cheek next to her forehead, it was very hot, and he turned his head and scolded Biqing: "How do you serve Madame!" I don't know if I have a fever! Go find Mu Changping! Hurry up! Come on, fetch water! ”

Yang Baodai was placed on the bed, Zhao Yuanzhi covered her tightly, Biqing followed and hurriedly said: "Last night, Mrs. fell asleep in the yard, and the slave went to sleep, and when she woke up, Mrs. was fine, and she took the slave and maid to the kitchen to make ginger soup······"

Zhao Yuanzhi thought about the bowl of ginger soup this morning, and he didn't eat anything at noon in the morning, so he was in a state of confusion, looking at Biqing crying, he almost wanted to pinch her to death, and said coldly: "What are you crying about, Madame is not dead, don't go and fetch water to come in and put Madame on her forehead!" ”
