Chapter Ninety-Nine: The First Return to the Hou Mansion

Mrs. Ning Yuan Hou is an elder in the end, and she has no grandchildren and granddaughters to go home, so she has to go to the gate to greet her. So although she was anxious, she had to stay in her yard and wait for the child to come in and kowtow to herself.

"Mother Liu, did you send someone to see it? Where have they been? Mrs. Tai kept urging. A quarter of an hour ago, a little maid came back and forth, saying that the carriage had arrived at the gate of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion.

The Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is not as spacious as the Zhenguo Mansion. From the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, even if you sit in a sedan chair, you have to take a meal. The Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion is a little closer, and it will be enough for about half a meal.

But Mrs. Tai used some snacks in the house, drank tea, and even took a nap, and when she woke up to find that the children had not come, she could not help but get up and go out to have a look.

Mother Liu stopped Mrs. Tai with a smile, helped her back to the couch and crookedly, and said, "Mrs. Tai is too anxious, in fact, it has only passed a pillar of incense." ”

"Just a pillar of incense?" Mrs. Tai also smiled, thinking that it had been a long time, but it turned out that she was really too anxious.

"These two children, after all, didn't grow up by my side, and it will take a lot of effort in the future" Mrs. Tai sighed, thinking of what she had done before, and felt a little regretful. It's a pity that Pei Shufan only gave birth to one sister-in-law and went, if she gave birth to two more sisters-in-law, she wouldn't have to give in to her current daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Tai remembered yesterday's incident.

Yesterday, the eldest son Chu Hua came to intercede with her, saying that Pei Shufen had just found out that she had a serious disease of uterine cold, although she didn't know how she got it, but she couldn't drink the soup anymore. The soup is to take its cold effect to block the chance of conception after the woman's happiness.

Mrs. Ning Yuan was taken aback. She also came over as a woman, so she naturally knew what the cold disease meant to the woman, so she regretted it for a while, and scolded Chu Huajin: "There are so many daughters of the Pei family, you just picked some sick seedlings to marry." - I really don't know that your father and son are both visions" actually scolded the old Ningyuan Marquis Chu Bozan.

Chu Huajin's original wife, Pei Shufan, was helped by his father, Lao Ningyuan, Marquis Chu Bozan, to ask him to marry, and he also took the initiative to withdraw from his previous family affairs before marrying this girl into the door.

Chu Huajin's current wife, Pei Shufen, was asked by Chu Huajin to marry him.

The two daughters-in-law, Mrs. Ning Yuan, were unable to speak, not depressed.

"Shu Fan is a concubine, even if she is weak, she will not delay giving birth. You see that she drank the shunzi soup for so long, and then didn't she still give birth to Yi'er and come out with humility? - Your little filling room is so delicate that you can't even drink the soup? Mrs. Tai pointed to Chu Huajin's nose and counted.

When Pei Shufan just entered the door, Mrs. Tai secretly gave her medicine for a while in order to give her a dismount, deliberately making her unable to give birth, so that she could intervene and raise the two maids in the room to give birth to the eldest son and the second son. Later, Pei Shufan found out, stopped the medicine, and asked for medical advice everywhere, tossing for seven or eight years before giving birth to a good child, and later giving birth to Qianqian. It's just that her body was originally weak, and her foundation was damaged by Mrs. Tai's tiger and wolf medicine, and finally she gave birth to two children regardless of her life.

Speaking of these things, Chu Huajin had a trace of worry on his face. Mrs. Tai is his mother-in-law, and he can't complain openly, but what Mrs. Tai did to Shu Fan back then, Chu Huajin did not complain.

A good lady in the main house, talented, and good-natured, raised eyebrows with herself, and also accepted herself with so many beautiful flowers, if you can grow old with her, there is nothing bad, but she was tossed by the old lady and she died early.

It was not easy for him to get another lady who was no worse than Pei Shufan, except for being more vinegary, and in other places, she was better than Shufan. The old lady took advantage of the Pei family's momentum and began to toss poorly, sending people to stare at herself and Shufen's room every day, and if there was some movement, she wanted to send her mother-in-law to send the avoidance soup, and she was not afraid of her face

Thinking of this, Chu Huajin's face was already very unsightly.

Mrs. Tai saw Chu Huajin's face in her eyes, and became angry again, and said angrily: "The second eldest of the Pei family, married into the Shoufu family, and now has given birth to two sons, and it is said that she is pregnant again, and she has a baby at home. The third child of the Pei family, married to the imperial merchant Luo family, which is considered a low marriage, but she became pregnant in the past half a year after marrying, and she has already given birth to a son. You say, since you value your heirs so much, why didn't you ask to marry those two older concubines in the first place, but preferred to marry this one who has not yet reached the end of the year? - I was embarrassed to go out and around at that time, was it funny to be teased at every turn? "No mistakes, no skipping words.

This son is good, but there are some indiscretions on the color word, which is really not as good as his father Ning Yuanhou. Today's lady is young, but she is firmly tied to her own crony.

Although Mrs. Tai didn't care about the inner courtyard, she also knew that Chu Huajin hadn't been to the courtyard of the concubine's room for two months. used to go to Aunt Qi and Aunt Fang's yard to live for a few days every month, but in the past two months, Pei Shufen didn't even leave her house when she came to Xiaotian.

The relationship between the son and the daughter-in-law is not good, even if the family is restless. But the relationship between the two is too good, and it's not a problem.

"Mother, it's not that you don't know, although I have many sons, they are all concubines, and there is only one son-in-law. It's not that the son deliberately cursed his son, it's just that now that we are in the Great Qi Dynasty, young children are dying everywhere. I heard that there was no five-year-old sister-in-law in the house of the servant of the ministry, and it was said that he had a pox and moved to the epidemic center outside the city, but he could not be saved. - Without a son-in-law, let alone Chengjue, even the queen's face is not good-looking. I'm for Shu Fen, I'm for the heir of our Chu family," Chu Huajin persuaded Mrs. Tai with a bitter face.

These are also true. In the Great Qi Dynasty, whether it is a high-ranking family or a poor family, even if no one deliberately makes trouble, there are only half and half of the children who can grow up peacefully.

Mrs. Tai herself gave birth to five sons-in-law that year, and now only two of them have grown up, namely Chu Huajin and Chu Huacheng. Old Ning Yuanhou has been outside, Ningyuan Hou's mansion is Mrs. Tai, old Ning Yuanhou himself does not have a concubine room, the only aunt, or Mrs. Tai gave him her own dowry maid, and then gave birth to the only concubine Chu Zhongyu.

Therefore, the death of Mrs. Tai's own three sisters-in-law has nothing to do with others at all, that is, the children themselves have a weak foundation and have not survived some diseases.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai also lowered her head, muttered for a long time, and said: "The disease of palace cold is not something that can be obtained overnight, how can I not know it before, but now I know it again?" Which physician asked for the pulse? How come I haven't heard of it? ”

Chu Huajin heard that Mrs. Tai's tone was a little relaxed, her face was better, she sat on the chair next to Mrs. Tai, thought about it when she heard the words, and said, "I didn't ask much about the specific situation. If the mother is worried, she will find a doctor to come over to diagnose her pulse, and by the way, ask if she needs to drink the soup of the child. If she is very sick, you have to think of a cure for her. ”

Mrs. Tai nodded and said, "In that case, don't go to her house." I don't let Grandma Sun go over to deliver the soup these days, don't help it, you can't help it, you will cause trouble for her. She can't get pregnant for five years, but it's decided from the Holy One. If you don't drink the soup and you make a child, will you give birth or not? - Wouldn't it hurt even more to knock it out? ”

Chu Hua reluctantly responded to Mrs. Tai, just thinking that he couldn't get close to Pei Shufen's body for a while, and when he returned to Zhonglan Courtyard, he saw Pei Shufen's undulating body, as well as the ** feeling of the past two months, he couldn't help it for a while, and pressed her on the bed in the inner room in broad daylight, and did it all over again.

Pei Shufen also learned about the conditions that Chu Hua wanted to talk to Mrs. Tai after the incident. It turned out that if he didn't drink the shunzi soup, Chu Huajin couldn't stay in his house. If he stayed in his house, he couldn't stop the soup.

Although Pei Shufen thought of Chu Huajin going to the concubine's room, her heart was like a needle prick, but in the end, she knew the importance and knew that the heir was more important than the favor of a man. Now the most important thing for me is to quickly adjust my body. As for Cheng Huan's matter, in another two years, his body will be conditioned, and the oath of not being able to get pregnant has expired, and it will not be difficult to bring Chu Hua over when the time comes. - Besides, Xiao Bie is better than a newlywed, and the two will only be more interesting when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Pei Shufen didn't stop him much, but just half-sourly took his hand and told him in a low voice, don't forget about her if you don't enter her house for two years.

Chu Huajin looked at Pei Shufen's soft and charming appearance with low eyebrows, and he fell in love with her more and more, and he also pointed to the heavens and the earth, and made many vows, so he went to sleep with his aunt according to the list that Pei Shufen drew up for him.

The next day was the day when Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian returned home, Chu Huajin wanted to stay at home and wait for the two children to return home, but Pei Shufen persuaded: "Although Master Hou is a loving father, the two children are juniors in the end. They are going home, not as guests, so don't be too cautious. - Besides, Hou Ye hurts them a lot, and he is careful to break their blessings, they can't afford it. ”

Chu Hua knew that among everyone, he was afraid that children would be difficult to support, and many things could not be the same as adults. For example, the child's name is posted outside for the world to read. Or the subordinates of the family are not allowed to call the child "master", so as not to lose the blessing.

"Even if Master Hou is at home, he can't wait in the inner courtyard all the time. Why don't you go to the yamen seriously, come back at noon, and have a good time together? Pei Shufen smiled and said it very reasonably.

Chu Hua responded and went to the yamen early in the morning.

When Mrs. Tai knew, she sent someone to chase him back, but she was already far away.

Thinking of these things, Mrs. Tai's eyes narrowed, and she said to Liu's mother: "Madame is doing it?" Did you go to the gate to greet you? ”

Mother Liu sent a little maid to Zhonglan Courtyard to take a look, and came back and said, "If Mrs. Hui is going back, Mrs. is waiting at the gate of Zhonglan Courtyard." The sedan chair had already entered the second gate and passed to the side of Zhonglan Courtyard. I think in a little while, they will come to Mrs. Tai's side. ”

Mrs. Tai snorted, and then remained silent.

Mother Liu knew that Mrs. Tai was uncomfortable, so she also counted a few words from Mrs. Tai, and said, "Don't blame Mrs. Tai for being angry, Mrs. is too big this time." Even if she is an elder and does not go to the gate to pick up the two children, but with her, as well as her mother-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law of her mother's family, she does not go out, which is rude. ”

When these words came to Mrs. Tai's heart, Mrs. Tai couldn't sit still, so she got up and said, "In this case, let's go directly and make amends to our in-laws." He sneered again and said, "Shu Fen looks shrewd, but he is actually a fool." Her sister-in-law Shu Fan only has her mother's family in her heart, which is not right. But she completely left her mother's family, how shrewd could she be? - If she is not the daughter of the Pei family, how can we marry her as a wife? Even if the boss loves her with all his heart, if the family is not worthy, she will be a concubine at most. I also want to take advantage of the power of my mother-in-law's family and shake my majesty in front of my mother's family, and the face of our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is about to be lost by her."

Mother Liu listened to Mrs. Tai's words, and didn't dare to say any more, and her face was sneering. - Mrs. Tai's mother-in-law is really difficult to serve, and the daughter-in-law is biased towards her mother's family, so she wants to be scolded. is biased towards her in-laws, and she has to be picky. I'm just a subordinate, and I can't get involved in it in the future.

Besides, Mrs. Xia and the Shen family took Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian to sit in a sedan chair and came to the gate of Zhonglan Courtyard in the upper room of the inner courtyard of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. He Ningxin sat in the third sedan chair and followed behind.

The maid who was waiting outside came up to help them open the sedan curtain and helped them get out of the sedan chair.

Pei Shufen stood on the steps at the entrance of Zhonglan Courtyard, combing a flying cloud bun, with a moon-gazing hairpin on his head, a big red gown embroidered with bergamot flowers with red piping, and a magenta cotton phoenix skirt tied low, which was very generous.

"Mother, sister-in-law, you are here. - Duchess Zhenguo, what a rare guest. Pei Shufen walked down the steps and stood a few steps away from Mrs. Xia, the Shen family, and He Ningxin.

Mrs. Xia held Chu Qianyi's hand in her hand, and Shen took Chu Qianqian's hand and nodded at Pei Shufen. He Ningxin blessed her with her body.

"Yi'er, Qianqian, you're back." Pei Shufen looked at Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian and smiled slightly, leaned forward slightly, and the handkerchief in his hand trembled slightly with the movement of Pei Shufen's body.

Chu Qianqian stood below Pei Shufen. A breeze blew, and from Pei Shufen's side, there was a smell that Chu Qianqian was very familiar with. Her big eyes blinked, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she glanced at Chu Qianyi on the other side.

Chu Qianyi obviously saw Chu Qianqian's appearance and knew that she was going to make a bad move again, so he didn't say anything, lowered his head, looked at the big bluestone road on the ground, and smiled.

Pei Shufen saw that Chu Qianyi was still that introverted and shy, so she took a few steps forward, and stretched out her hand to Chu Qianyi with a spring breeze on her face, "Come, Yi'er, let Mother take you to the house that your grandmother has specially arranged for you to have a look......

Who knew that Chu Qianyi didn't react, but it was Chu Qianqian who stepped forward, reached out and held Pei Shufen's hand, and said with a smile: "Mother's handkerchief is so beautiful." Humility also wants one. As he spoke, he took her handkerchief and looked at it carefully.

Pei Shufen hates others touching her things the most, and she sprinkled two drops of onion water on her handkerchief today, for drama, how can she let children go? - Hearing this, he subconsciously clenched his handkerchief and did not let go.

Chu Qianqian looked curious, and gently pulled the handkerchief in Pei Shufen's hand, and found that he couldn't pull it at all. I dragged it harder, but I dragged myself to a stumbling back. Chu Qianqian raised his head and looked at Pei Shufen, his big eyes were immediately filled with tears, he looked very hurt, and turned back to Mrs. Xia and cried: "Mother doesn't care about Qianqian...... Humility just wants to see her mother's veil...... Mother doesn't give ...... Will Qian Qian not even have food in the future......" he said, crying and turning around and throwing himself into Mrs. Xia's arms.

Mrs. Xia's heart was about to break, so she didn't care about accusing Pei Shufen, let go of the hand holding Chu Qianyi, and coaxed her with Qianqian.

Shen Shi looked at Pei Shufen calmly and said, "Fourth aunt and grandmother, Qianqian just wants to see your handkerchief, you don't have to be so tight." "Humility is in the Pei family, no matter how naughty he is, he knows how to be measured. Qianqian is only four years old, but he just looks at a veil, as for not giving face like this?

Pei Shufen's heart tightened, and when she saw the way the Pei family accused her, her heart was relieved again, her eyes were a little red, and she took a handkerchief and printed it on the corner of her eye, and immediately burst into tears: "Sister-in-law blames Shufen by mistake." Where does Shu Fen not give humility? It's just that this veil was used by Shu Fen and is not clean. If Qianqian likes this look, Shu Fen goes back and opens the cage and finds her a few brand new ones. ”

Chu Qianqian, who was crying loudly, immediately stopped crying, turned his head and asked, "Why is my mother's veil not clean?" Is it dirty? - Mother, you are too careless, the handkerchief you hold in your hand every day can also get dirty, and you are not afraid of getting sick. ”

sighed twice, and said to Chu Qianyi seriously: "Brother, you will have to stay away from your mother in the future." Beware of your mother's unclean stuff getting on you, you're in trouble. If you are sick, it is your mother's sin. You can't be so ignorant and let people gossip about your mother. looked like a little adult, and boasted to He Ningxin who was standing on the side, "Godmother, Qianqian and my brother are the most filial and good children, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

Before He Ningxin could speak, Chu Qianyi nodded busily and said to Chu Qianqian: "Thank you sister for your advice, I will be careful and try to stay away from my mother." He looked at Pei Shufen shyly and smiled, and said, "Mother, don't blame Yi'er for being unfilial." It's just that the mother's place is not clean, and Yi'er will have to live with her grandmother in the future, and if she gets dirty from her mother and goes back and passes it on to her grandmother, it will be even more unfilial. - I hope that my mother will not blame Yi'er and not give my mother a morning and dusk province. As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, knelt down on the bluestone pavement, and gave Pei Shufen a big salute.

Pei Shufen was shocked and angry by Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian's words. She has been back to the Pei family so many times, and the two children have never looked at her squarely, except for a salute and a hello, there is nothing else to say. She has always only known humility and mischievousness, lawlessness. Yi'er is timid and introverted, with some autistic origins, and never knew that two children could be so sharp-tongued, and they grabbed a little perfunctory in their words and made a big fuss

PS: This is just the beginning. Look at what the author looks like when the crossing woman who doesn't open the golden finger does the house.

In view of the fact that I have recently been maliciously brushed by some villains in the "reader's impression", I originally wanted to let the small house fill in the house, but you have changed her fate, and she will be abused by me even more ruthlessly, to the point that her own mother can't recognize it......

sighed, I always thought that the "reader's impression" maliciously brushed by the brush would only happen to the great gods. Unexpectedly, I, an almost transparent little shrimp, also began to enjoy this kind of "great god" treatment that was maliciously brushed with "readers' impressions......

The brushes who say that I "step on the top of the text", I want to ask, do you think that those overwhelming anti-Qiong Yao texts are all for stepping on Qiong Yao's top position?
