In the alley of the alley where Zhao's mansion is located, a discerning person has already noticed the changes outside.

On weekdays, the door is always open to welcome guests from all directions, two Xiao Si two guards guard the door, there are always two girls waiting for guests in the pantry next to Zhang Luo tea and pastries, from time to time attached to the middle school staff master and yamen bureaucrats will go in and out to send documents, the southwest corner door on the side is connected to the courtyard door of the large kitchen, every day is an endless stream of people in and out, now all are closed, a closed door to thank the guests.

In combination with the capital yesterday's turmoil in the city, Mrs. Zhao and the old lady of the Zhao family Taoist temple started to argue, just one night was detained as a rumor, and several witnesses were thrown to the yamen of the criminal department to be detained, and the Zhao family said to the outside world that the old lady of the family wanted to pray for the unborn child, ready to close the door for three months, refused all guests, and then followed by Lord Zhao and his wife back to her parents' house.

The doorway in this can only be understood but not spoken.

In short, ordinary people think that Yang Baodai's mother-in-law is unfortunate for the family, but the officials who read the sage book think that Zhao Yuanzhi is an extremely unfilial descendant, but in the end, Zhao Yuanzhi has suppressed the matter vigorously and resolutely, and the officials of the Yushitai and the government and the opposition do not dare to die to provoke the people in power.

There was no sound in the mansion of Nuoda, the courtyard was few and deserted, and the slaves all bowed their heads to do things, and no one dared to turn their heads to each other. Yang Baodai can still beg for mercy, and Zhao Yuanzhi will grind all the bones into powder for you!

It wasn't until the door of the Luhe Hall opened that the mansion moved slightly.

Gou Er sat on the mahogany Taishi chair on the right side of the main hall, his injuries had not healed, but the Zhu ghost roared and screamed all night, and he had to drag his body over, and Xiao Si immediately handed over a soup woman next to him, let him put it in the injured abdomen, and served hot tea to the good life.

Soon Zhu was supported by two girls and walked out from the side.

I haven't seen him for just one night, Zhu's whole person is a lot haggard, and the whole person can be described as crazy, the clothes he is wearing are dirty, his hair is scattered, and the rouge, tears, and snot on his face are all mixed together, and he looks very unappetizing.

Zhu Shi looked at Gou Er, tears welled up, like a fish in his throat, and he shouted: "My son, go and say good things to your brother, if you let the clan expel me from the house, he will be scolded for being unfilial in the future!" ”

She knew that Zhao Yuanzhi treated this person as if he was his own brother, and he would also use the word "brother" when introducing him outside.

Gou Er didn't take this trick at all, coughed lightly and said, "Yuan Zhen and I are just siblings, you didn't give birth to me." "On this mother, he would rather be born from a dog!

"Son, you know everything about this, and now your brother can listen to you!" Saying that, Zhu sat down in front of Gou Er regardless of his body, and wailed: "It's not my fault that I made a thousand mistakes, I beat Yang Baodai, but the two of them can't put me under house arrest in the mansion!" Gou Er, I'm not thin on you, otherwise you wouldn't have helped me block the injury, my aunt really treats you as her own son! ”

The Zhu family also has a spectrum in his heart, if he just beat Yang Baodai, Zhao Yuanzhi estimated that he would be grounded, but he also dragged Gou Er into the water! In the past few years, Zhao Yuanzhi has never told Zhu about the relationship between the two, but Zhu can also perceive that the two are a fateful friendship, since Zhao Yuanzhi said that he wanted the Zhao family to divorce her, it must be done!

She is dozens of years old, and she was called by her son to leave the house, where is this old face going! It's better to die!

Looking at Zhu, who was pretending to die or alive, Gou Er didn't speak, just looked at the colorful blue glass tea bowl in his hand lightly, and slowly lifted the lid of the cup with his fingers and gently knocked on the wall of the cup.

Zhu Shi said dejectedly, panting with anger, and said angrily: "Child, you are his own brother, she was bewitched by the fox, you have to reason with him!" I am his own mother, if he kicks me out of the house for a dispensable mother-in-law, I can't pass the pass of filial piety alone, how will he do things in officialdom in the future! ”

Seeing her crying more and more, Gou Er didn't move at all, but explained lightly: "Yuan Zhen has already taken Bao Dai back to her parents' house to raise the baby, and she won't be able to return home for a while, so she asked me to take care of the housework, aunt doesn't have to worry, even if the two of them are not at home, I won't snub you, tell the girl what you want." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Shi had already struggled to get up, looked at Gou Er with teary eyes, and stammered in a tone of disbelief: "What did you say······?" He, he doesn't recognize me as a mother! Didn't I just beat Yang Baodai! I've been beaten too! She's doing this to me······ Gou Er, you can't just watch Yuan Zhi spoil his wife and kill his mother, can you let Yuan Zhen come to me!? You can't let her listen to Yang Baodai's side of the story! ”

Saying that, Zhu was anxious and uncomfortable, crying very sadly, leaning on the chair next to Gou Er, sitting down, pulling his sleeve, and hurriedly roaring: "Bao Dai's old lady is going to die, she has a body, when Jia Zhu didn't take care of it, she was tired again, this is the loss of Mrs. and the soldiers, this child can't be sick!" Besides, Yuan Zhen is going to go out of the capital on an errand in some time, you go to be a lobbyist, call the two of them back, and I will treat Yang Baodai well. ”

This, isn't this a joke for outsiders to see her, and she was directly thrown into the mansion by her own son, doesn't this mean that it is tantamount to telling the whole capital that his own mother has no status in front of Zhao Yuanzhi at all! Then how will she be favored by those ladies in the future! Didn't they all end up scolding Yang Baodai!

Gou Er had long expected that Zhu would say this, bowed slightly, raised his head to look at Zhu who made a pitiful appearance, and sneered: "Because of this, Bao Dai should be in her mother's house, and my aunt is also happy in the mansion alone, waiting for the three-month lockdown order to be gone, you can go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers, isn't it beautiful." His tone teased.

Zhu Shi was stunned when he heard this, held his breath in his heart, and roared angrily: "How can a son be grounded by his mother!" ”

Gou Er glanced at Zhu slowly, his eyes were cold.

Zhu's tears were contained, why not, some restless old ladies and female relatives in the capital have been grounded, but they are all well hidden, and they all say that they are not happy, or go to inspect Zhuangzi, or go to the suburbs to live in the Buddhist hall.

Wasn't the Sheng family the best example back then?

Gou Er felt that he had said everything he should have said, and he had heard the ghost crying wolf howls that he should have heard, so he said calmly: "Today I came to see my aunt is to hope that my aunt will keep to herself in the future, and the small Buddha hall will be set up today, if my aunt doesn't want to pray for the child in Bao Dai's womb, I will pray for the dead Mama Tang, there are many things in the attached middle school, I will go first." ”

Zhu glared at Gou Er vigorously, and when he heard that he was going to take over all the affairs of the attached middle school, he immediately became dissatisfied, and stepped forward to block his way, completely without the pitiful and aggrieved appearance just now, stretched his neck and blushed his face, and roared: "Even if I am under house arrest, I am still the old lady of the mansion, and the affairs of the mansion are naturally my decision!" Why do you an outsider bother with the matter of the back house of the beaked mansion! ”

What a toast and don't eat and punish Gou Er!

She raised her hand in anger and was about to slap her palm, Gou Er's eyes were stunned, she raised her hand for a gear, and pinched Zhu's wrist to speak, Zhu screamed in pain, Gou Er didn't hear it at all, her voice was a little more cold, and her eyes stared at Zhu fiercely: "I'm not your own son, so I don't plan to mediate, if you and pee on my head, I have more ways to clean you up!" Do you understand! After speaking, he shook Zhu's hand away.

Zhu gritted his teeth, stomped his feet angrily, his whole face was purple, and he said everything dirty and pickled in one mouth, and the two girls next to him hurriedly went to stop it, if this is a good thing to make Gou Erqi out, even if Zhao Yuanzhi doesn't pursue it, Mu Changping will also calm the Zhao family!

Zhu's heart was shocked, and when he looked at the person who was leaving, he became ruthless, gritted his teeth and said, "I will kill you sooner or later!" ”

Isn't it just a three-month lockdown! Wait for her to go out, it's good to have this person!

The two girls trembled, Zhu took a sip of phlegm, turned her head to look at the girl who was serving her, raised her hand and slapped her, and sneered: "Why, now you all dare to teach me a lesson!" Get out of here! ”

***

Among the Yang family.

Zhao Yuanzhi came back from the early dynasty and locked himself in Yang Baoyuan's study, and eight guards were placed outside just to see the place where they could see, and the servants of the Yang family were not allowed to approach, and Yang Tofu did not respond even when he sent someone to call for lunch, and in the middle of the Sheng Heng, who taught the East Palace in the East Palace, and Luo Xuanxue, who was patrolling in the suburbs, called over, and the three of them closed the door and didn't know what they were discussing, and then summoned Yang Baoyuan in.

Halfway through, Yang Baodai personally sent tea and snacks over, but was also intercepted by Li Ming halfway, saying that it was discussing a major matter inside, and no one could disturb it.

"Since it's a big deal, why did you call Baoyuan in?" Yang Baodai gave the pastries to Li Ming.

Li Ming replied: "Even if you don't participate in some ups and downs, it's better to see the long insight." He replied according to Zhao Yuanzhi's explanation.

Yang Baodai knew it well and didn't ask more.

Yang Baodai, who left, was quietly accompanying Jia Zhu, Jia Zhu's body could only be carefully raised, and there was no way to deal with it, so all the Yang family members were cautious, for fear that something bad would happen if they didn't follow Jia Zhu's wishes, and the doctor said that it would be better when the weather warmed up.

Jia Zhu came to Xingtou in the afternoon, and also played the folding card, how dare the two sisters win money, one coaxed Jia Zhu's rare spirit, but it was not good to laugh and smile.

Yang Tofu didn't like these small gambling pleasures, so he held his two grandsons to play happily in the yard, was coaxed by Hua En, and made almond tofu for his granddaughter to eat.

Because Yang Baodai was pregnant, the matter of serving the illness at night was avoided, and Yang Baomei drove Yang Tofu to Yang Baoyuan's house to sleep, and accompanied Jia Zhu by himself to facilitate care.

Yang Baodai returned to the house and stayed by herself, and ordered Chao Chao to stew loquat paste for a while and send it to Jia Zhu, today Jia Zhu's cough is getting worse and worse, although it is well concealed, the smell of blood cannot be hidden.

Mama Sun brought in the fetal pills in the evening, and saw that Yang Baodai was embroidering the belly pocket of the doll under the candlelight with her eyes pressed, and her heart jumped, and she immediately said: "My little ancestor, now you are pregnant, I will do this, you are about to drink the medicine and rest." ”

Yang Baodai said quietly: "I can't sleep again, my eyes just got into something." She drank the fetal pill and embroidered most of the belly pocket in her hand, but she couldn't hold it anymore before she washed up and went to the bed to rest.

Who knew that in the middle of the night, something gave ice a spirit.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was Zhao Yuanzhi who came back on tiptoe, and accidentally kicked the small stool that she put on the side of the bed, and on it was the small cup where she had finished drinking bird's nest porridge, and it was the cold thing that just rolled to her face.

Zhao Yuanzhi's face was very embarrassed and embarrassed.

After all, Cheng Shi is different from the previous welfare home, and this person has missed his hands and horses, which is still worthy of forgiveness.

"Didn't I leave you a lamp?" Yang Baodai was frozen, most of her sleepiness dissipated, and she slowly stood up.

"It's raining, the wind is gone." The man whispered back.

She heard the sudden sound of rain outside, the window she left before she fell asleep had been closed by the man, Yang Baodai lay inside, listening to the sound of the rainstorm and thunder outside.

"I've already asked Biqing to go over to see my mother, you can sleep at ease." Zhao Yuanzhi knew that Yang Baodai was worried about Jia Zhu's body, and laughed as he spoke: "The eldest sister is guarding every inch, your sister is the one who has breasted two dolls, and she takes care of people more than you, and if you take care of yourself, everyone will be blessed." ”

Yang Baodai glanced at him: "Look at what you can do." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi was very proud: "I can do it or not, Mrs. knows best." ”

Yang Baodai: "······"

Zhao Yuanzhi changed his clothes and collapsed, so he hugged his wife in his arms with a quilt, since she was pregnant, it was not easy for Yang Baodai to fall asleep if she woke up in the middle of the night, the man slowly patted his wife's back, kissed her forehead, touched her cheek, and said lightly: "Sleep, I'm here, when this rain passes, the weather will get warmer." ”

Yang Baodai felt extremely relieved in her husband's arms, she half-closed her eyes, and listened to Zhao Yuanzhi tell him about today's matter, probably tomorrow morning, Zhang Gelao's case will be overturned, and there are still some points that need to be considered, so there are civil and military officials in the capital who are involved, so the sentencing is convenient and needs to be more cautious.

The man still cared about Sheng Heng's brother-in-law's face, and saved the unscrupulous descendants of Jiang Xuan's two families, but Jiang Xuan's two families would only think that Sheng Heng was maneuvering in it, and would not think that it was Zhao Yuanzhi who raised his noble hand.

Yang Baodai sighed in her heart, this person is the legendary one who did good deeds without leaving a name, looking at the fierce one, he still protects his own people at a critical time.

Even if it wasn't for his own official reputation, for Sheng Heng's face as an official, Zhao Yuanzhi would not be able to turn a blind eye.

Yang Baodai took the initiative to kiss her husband's chin, and said distressedly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi wrapped his fingers around a few strands of Yang Baodai's hair, and said slowly: "I'm going out at the end of the month, you can raise the baby here, no matter what your mother does, you will leave it to Gou Er to deal with." ”

Yang Baodai hummed softly in a sleepy mood.

"Bao Dai?" Zhao Yuanzhi thought that this person didn't want to talk to him, shook her lightly, looked at her breathing evenly, and didn't feel funny, raised his hand to cover her with a futon and firmly encircled her in his arms, raised his hand on the slightly bulging belly, and said softly: "Daddy wants to go out, you have to be obedient, if I know that you are not well-behaved, and your mother will be affected, even if you are a girl, I will beat you and you can't cry." ”

When Yang Baodai got up early, there was no one next to her, she took two more tea naps, and asked Biqing to come in and serve the makeup, Yang Baomei's girl also sent her a new tourmaline bracelet, delicate and beautiful, atmospheric and simple, Yang Baodai took the bracelet and looked at it, and felt that it was very good, so she instructed Chao Chao: "Find a beautiful box and put it up, and send it to Tan Miao." ”

Biqing, who was choosing earrings for her, made a move in her hand.

Chao Chao was thoughtless, put down the comb in his hand, held the tourmaline string and looked at it for a while, then smiled: "Don't say it, it's quite suitable for Miss Tan's temperament, Miss Tan must like it!" "Yang Baodai is extremely concerned about the female dependents who live at home, and she always thinks about giving them the first choice when she gets good things.

Biqing pinched a jade earring and walked to Yang Baodai's side, hesitated for a long time, and slowly opened: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, if your sister knows, I'm afraid I will feel that Mrs. is biased, and then this is sent by the eldest aunt and grandmother, let's give it to the understandable person like this, doesn't it make the eldest aunt and grandmother feel cold?" ”

As long as she thought that Tan Miao might have entered Gou Er's eyes, she was furious in her heart.

Yang Baodai laughed: "You don't know, Sheng Heng has a cousin's brother who wants to marry Tan Miao." "In the end, it's someone else's sister's, she doesn't dare to make decisions casually," Besides, she is now helping me manage some of the housework, and I also have to give people some hard money, Chaochao, you will send it over later, you tell her, if there is any bad decision, discuss with Brother Gou, let her do it freely, and learn to be a housekeeper in advance. "Anyway, there are no chores in the mansion, so it's more troublesome to issue monthly rules.

Biqing spoke: "Madam, it's better to let the slave go." ”

"No, I'm at ease when you're by my side." Yang Baodai cut her haircut, chose a hairpin flower and handed it to Biqing, asked her to put it on herself, and got up with a smile: "Let's go, go and say hello to my mother." ”

Biqing thought that Yang Baodai was going to stop her from seeing Gou Er, and her heart immediately felt sour.

As a result, Jia Zhu coughed for a little in the middle of the night last night, and at this moment, he was finally relieved and was resting, and Yang Baodai was driven back.

She sat against the head of Concubine Xiang in the room, drooping on her knees, pushing open the window leaves, and finished the little belly pocket by the light by the window, she didn't prepare this thing for her stomach, Qin Baozhu is going to give birth next month, and she will always do something with her own hands, and when she is in this position, no matter how much gift she gives, it is not as important as the affection that she has made by herself, and then Qin Baozhu and her are also good friends, she finished embroidering the belly pocket, and picked up the book on Zhao Yuanzhi's desk and read it

was fascinated, the window was suddenly dark, followed by Zhao Yuanzhi came in from outside, lifted the bamboo curtain and walked next to her, Yang Baodai sighed, and felt very surprised: "Didn't you overturn the case for the elder today, how did you come back early?" ”

She was busy deducting books on the small desk, I'm afraid this has changed again.

Zhao Yuanzhi pressed his wife's shoulder, smoothed the frowning place between her eyebrows, and then hugged her into his arms, and sighed: "Hey, naturally the case has been overturned, Your Majesty and them are in the aftermath of the Jinluan Palace, I am a target, so I simply pretended to be dizzy by the old guy and came back first." ”

It's been two months, and he's tired.

Yang Baodai sneered, not feeling funny: "If you can make you dizzy, I'm afraid those old ministers will beat gongs and drums to celebrate when they go back." ”

"You're poor." Zhao Yuanzhi snorted lightly, expressing his grievances for his wife's downfall.

The room was quiet, and Grandma Sun took Biqing out, and beckoned the little girl who was busy outside the yard away, leaving the quiet place for the husband and wife.

Zhao Yuanzhi rarely has time to accompany Yang Baodai well, but he can't be disturbed by messy things.

Yang Baodai looked sideways at the handsome and Fengshen husband through the daylight, Zhao Yuanzhi was wearing a red court dress of the second grade, and the whole person was full of the appearance of not entering, she was about to say something, but the man spoke first: "I'm going to see Gui'er later, the Queen Mother intends to make Gui'er the county lord, in my opinion, this title is still a good refusal, and the figure has the identity of the county lord, so it is not as strong as yesterday's clean lady." ”

At that time, the most troublesome thing is that the marriage will have to be intervened by the royal family. Zhao Yuanzhi had to help Zhang Guier choose first.

Zhang Guier always wants to get married, she has no direct backer from her mother's family now, according to him, marrying Yang Baoyuan is the best choice, if Yang Baoyuan dares to bully her in the future, she can clean it up directly.

The teacher is a baby girl, he must take care of it.

"I have asked His Majesty's grace, Gui'er will live with us, in the end, Gui'er still has a rental family, in the future, you remember to contact your tenant's family, and the gifts for the New Year's holidays should also be properly prepared, rather than less, Gui'er's news is less revealed in the past, so as not to get up and not think about it, his daughter's family can help if you can't help, and I can't help me."

Yang Baodai leaned on his arms and nodded gently: "Okay, I remember." She raised her hand to smooth Zhao Yuanzhi's slightly frowning brows, this person is frowning at every turn now, it is clear that he is less than thirty, and he looks like he has a demeanor that only lasts for half a hundred years.

Zhao Yuanzhi still fought with a few fine lines on his eyebrows, he suddenly sighed and hugged the person: "Have you ever regretted marrying me?" ”

"Why should I regret it." Yang Baodai kissed him on the cheek.

"In the future, in the eyes of this group of courtiers, I will be a bastard who even wants to make a fuss about the death of his teacher, those people are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but when my teacher shouted "unjustly died", didn't they all protect themselves at home and pretend to be sick?" Zhao Yuanzhi thought about the cheap words of those old things in the early dynasty, and his eyes were full of flames, "If I didn't think that killing them would implicate too many situations, I wouldn't ······"

He was indignant, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "In the future, I have to let them regret giving birth!" ”

Yang Baodai listened quietly, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "What do you have to do with them, now you are in a high position, Your Majesty does not say it, you are already the future minister of Tuogu, and the first assistant of the cabinet will sooner or later make room for you, deal with them, you can just keep a normal heart, as long as you don't mess up, they will look at you with a spring breeze on your face and have to give you a smile and say goodbye, I am afraid that you will be angry." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi was born in business, even if she won the champion, she looked at her husband with a straight face, and said leniently: "What do you do when you are angry with them, they just can't see that you are promoted and made rich faster than them, your good, people outside don't know, but I know." ”

Yang Baodai wrapped her arms around her husband's neck, and the tip of her nose touched his nose affectionately: "Zhang Gelao's things you did are not wrong, those who didn't speak at the time were afraid of being implicated, and you are enduring humiliation and protecting yourself, time will prove everything, how can there be any upright and good officials in the world, and you can live a long time if you are sleek." ”

In the future, these people will always have a time to beg Zhao Yuanzhi, and then they will pay an extremely painful price for today's affairs.

The days are still long, and it is still unknown who has spent whom.

Zhao Yuanzhi was chuckled by his wife's dry relief, lowered his head and grabbed her small mouth and kissed her for a while, looking at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for." ”

Yang Baodai's face turned red and gently pushed him: "The ghost believes your words." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi gently stroked his wife's soft little face, and with a wave of his long sleeves, Yang Baodai was hugged by him, and reacted that he had been put on the bed, and raised his hand to put down the veil on the golden hook next to the bed, Yang Baodai was about to open her mouth, and was wrapped in a familiar taste, she only felt that the belt around her waist was torn off, and Zhao Yuanzhi's deep voice said in her ear: "As long as you believe me, I will be worth everything." ”

Then, Yang Baodai felt ashamed, but the man said seriously: "I asked Mu Changping, you have stabilized the fetus now." ”

Yang Baodai was ashamed, she dared to ask about this kind of thing, and Mu Changping also asked!

"Blue sky and white day! Zhao Yuanzhen! ”

"Knowing that it's a blue sky, don't you be quiet!"

Yang Baodai: "!!!! ”
