Chapter 161: Eavesdropping
Only then did the concubine rinse her mouth with bird's nest, and the palace people brought a basin of water to clean her hands, and then handed a towel to wipe it clean for the master.
After cleaning up, Concubine Yu slowly spoke, "Zhaojia's family does have this request, your emperor Ama sent someone to find out the situation, and learned that the girl was suffering from heart disease, so he agreed to Zhaojia's request, but Hongyan's child actually refused, saying that he didn't want to withdraw from the marriage, and the marriage contract remained the same." ”
That's weird! Isn't Honghui in love with Yongshu? It stands to reason that he didn't like his fiancée, but he would only accept it because of the emperor's marriage.
Now that the girl is seriously ill, and the emperor intends to allow him to withdraw from the marriage, shouldn't Honghui take the opportunity to withdraw from the marriage? Why didn't he even get out of the marriage? This is not in his character!
Did Hongyan change his mind, or did he have other plans?
Hongli was puzzled, and in private, he specially found Hongyu to probe the wind, and Hongyu was also confused about this.
"E-Niang was very angry, and asked me to persuade the third brother! But the third brother's intention has been decided, saying that he will resolutely not withdraw from the marriage. ”
Hong Daywu muttered to himself, "If you find out that she has heart disease after becoming a parent, it's just that, this is not a marriage yet!" If such a thing happens, shouldn't we seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and withdraw from the marriage? ”
"I think the same way, how do I know that the third brother actually refuses to withdraw from the marriage," Hongyuwu pondered to himself, "Is it because that girl is beautiful, and the third brother has pity for her?" ”
Is it really for this reason? "Have you seen that girl? Beautiful? ”
"I saw it once by chance, and his appearance is indeed graceful, I think it should be the type that the third brother likes, right? But she suffers from heart disease, she is a porcelain doll, and she will break when she touches it! The third brother married her, which was really risky. ”
Honghui likes Yongshu, will he really change his mind easily and like other women? Hongtian always feels unlikely, there must be a hidden secret in this!
However, Honghui will not easily reveal such a private matter as feelings, Hongyu does not know the inside story, and Hongyu has nowhere to explore.
In fact, Honghui also planned to withdraw from the marriage at the beginning, but he thought about it carefully, what about after the divorce?
According to the temperament of his parents, eighty percent will continue to find a new wife for him, and then he will still have to marry someone, who knows what kind of woman will be next, rather than find a healthy body, it is better to marry a sick man.
With such an calculation, Honghui will insist on not withdrawing from the marriage, waiting for her to recuperate, and she can delay for a few more months, even if there is no excuse in the end, marrying into the door, he doesn't have to have a round room with her, she can't give birth to a child, and she has nothing to say.
In the final analysis, he still thinks of Yongshu in his heart, even if she is married, he doesn't want to be close to other women, and he always hopes that one day he can renew his relationship with Yongshu......
There are some things that Hongtian can't say in person, but if he doesn't mention anything, he is unwilling, thinking about it, Hongyang took Xiaojinzi to spread gossip, and thought about passing those words to Ningzhaoyuan.
Xiao Jinzi understood, and deliberately said a few words about Young Master Honghui in front of some subordinates who loved to chew the root of his tongue, and as Hongtian expected, this matter quickly reached Xingcai's ears.
Xingcai hurriedly told Fu Jin about it, "The slave maid heard that the third master's fiancée suffered from heart disease, and the emperor allowed him to withdraw from the marriage, but he refused to repent of the marriage, and he must abide by the marriage contract, and wait for her to recover before getting married, and I don't know what happened." ”
What Hongshu's attitude is towards this marriage, Yongshu doesn't care, "Since it has been decided, then they should marry each other, whether he is married or not, and who he marries has nothing to do with us." You just have to listen to what others gossip, but don't ask too much, so as not to provoke right and wrong. ”
"Yes, the slaves and maids are silent, and listen to their chatter! I just think it's strange, the third master has never been able to let go of his past, how can he care so much about that fiancée? ”
What is the story between Honghui and his fiancée, Yongshu is not interested, "I'm married, he should also let go of the past, this is a good thing, do you want him to live in pain for the rest of his life?" ”
"Of course not, the slave is just a little emotional. No matter how deep the affection is, there will be a day when it will be exhausted. After all, Xingcai witnessed the acquaintance of the master and the third master, and the two failed to achieve positive results, she often felt a little pity, but she didn't want the master to be sad, so she comforted:
"Fortunately, the fifth master is very good to you, and it is also a blessing for you."
Yongshu covered her lips and chuckled, laughing at her inconsistency,
"Didn't you just say that? Feelings are fickle, so we women! Don't hope for a man, whether the fifth master is good to me or not depends on his mood, and it is not something I can control. I don't get complacent when he spoils me, and I don't get depressed when he snubs me. It is better to look at everything and not be shocked than to be happy and sorrowful. ”
Hongday, who had just arrived at Ningzhao Courtyard, happened to hear their master and servant talking, so he stood outside and didn't go in, hearing Yongshu's heartfelt words, his heart was mixed, and he had mixed feelings and mixed joys and sorrows.
No matter how he treats her, Yongshu always refuses to trust himself to him, this kind of reason makes him have a heart attack, fortunately, Yongshu is not nostalgic for the past, even if Honghui does not withdraw from the marriage, she doesn't care much, which makes Hongxi very pleased, does this mean that she has completely let go of Honghui?
Yongshu in the inner room had already changed his head and talked about the things beside him, and Hongtian stood silent for a moment before entering the house.
Seeing the figure of the fifth master, Xingcai was frightened, just because she was not sure how long the fifth master had been here, whether she had heard what she had just said, and whether she would blame her.
In fact, Hongtian didn't blame Xingcai, his purpose was to hope that someone could convey Honghui's attitude towards marriage to Yongshu, and Xingcai took the bait and hit his heart.
Yongshu's attitude was very satisfied, it was Yi Hongtian who would not mind Xingcai's mouth.
When he entered the house, he asked Xingcai to change his clothes as usual, and he smiled and talked to Yongshu about the affairs of the court, and the warm picture made Xingcai's heart temporarily calm, and he only hoped that the fifth master could always be so good to Fujin.
The howling north wind added another snow to the earthly world, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
Chinese New Year's Eve was still snowing lightly, freezing at night, the road was exceptionally slippery, originally this night, the family sat together to keep the year, but Rong Gege was pregnant, it was inconvenient to move, Yun Gege was sitting in a small moon, and it was inconvenient to reunite, Hongxi discussed with Yongshu, not to keep the New Year with everyone tonight, and to stay in their own houses.
In fact, Yongshu doesn't matter, anyway, it's the New Year! Just want to be lively and festive, everyone can celebrate the New Year together, if he doesn't want to, it doesn't matter, it's all up to him.
After thinking about it, Hongyang finally decided to invite several other concubines to get together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
After all, he hadn't pampered them for a long time, and on a day like the New Year, he really deserved to be reunited.
Yongshu had no opinion, and invited a few concubines according to his wishes, Bai Gege, Xiang Gege, and Ying Gege would definitely come, Jin Gege has never liked to make friends with people, and she will shirk if there is something in the house, but this time, she actually attended!
The reason why Jin Xia came was because she remembered Fujin's kindness for sending her medicine to treat her illness, and secondly, because she knew that Yunrou would not appear today, so she could come to the banquet with confidence.
Everyone gathered together to eat hot pot, talking and laughing, and the eyes of the concubines fell on the fifth master from time to time, and most of them were expecting the fifth master to look at them more, but Hongday's eyes have been falling on Yongshu and have never been shared with others.
After the meal, Hongday spoke, saying that there was snow tonight, and the road was slippery and cold, so they asked them to go back to the room this morning, and they didn't have to stay together for the New Year.
Bai Gege thought that she could stay with the fifth master for a few more hours tonight, but when she heard this, her smile froze, "Huh? But last year, we all kept the New Year together! Chinese New Year's Eve is going to be spent together as a family! ”
Seeing that the fifth master was unmoved, Bai Gege turned to Fu Jin and pleaded: "Fu Jin, you are doing well, say a good word to the fifth master, let us stay and keep the New Year together!" ”
