63 Heart
Sang Xuanyue and Qing'er returned to the Hou Mansion, and the time had passed.
Outside, goose feathers and heavy snow fell from the sky, and the whole world became covered in silver. With the watchman saying "three watches in the middle of the day, the weather is cold", Sang Xuanyue and his younger brother finally returned to the Rose Garden with difficulty.
The two of them were not frozen in the carriage, because the shopkeeper of Mochizuki Tower would do business, and before they returned, the brazier in the car was replaced. The sister and brother guarded the hot brazier, and their hands and faces were roasted.
It's a pity that from the gate of the Hou Mansion to the Rose Garden, this section of the road is really difficult. The snow is calf high, and this is the result of the maids constantly cleaning before the hour. But even this was very difficult for the siblings, who had to work hard to get back to the yard, and they were almost frozen stupid.
Sang Xuanyue's face was pale, the tip of his nose was red from the cold, and he was only warmed up after taking a bath under Su Jin's service.
At this time, it was already ugly, and Sang Xuanyue sent Su Jin to rest, and he wrote Buddhist scriptures in a warm house.
She hadn't thought of Wang Wenju for a long time.
But tonight I thought of him many times.
They got married because Zhou Baolu was calculating, and if Wang Wenju didn't agree at that time, she would not only have a bad reputation, but might also be driven out by the Zhou family under the pretext of something.
Although she was about to be kicked out at that time, she also had the ability to protect her younger brother, but at that time, she didn't know the depth of the Wang family, and only saw that Wang Wenju was gentle and elegant, hearty and gentle, so after he agreed to the family, she only thought about it for a few days and agreed to this family matter.
After four years of marriage, Wang Wenju treated her very much. Their husband and wife relationship is also harmonious, and they are reluctant to respect each other.
But Wang Wenju studied far away at the Southern Academy, which was very far away from Wei County. And because he is strict with himself, and his family also has high hopes for him, Wang Wenju studies hard and rarely goes home.
He will only return to Beijing during the New Year's holidays, but he will not stay long. He usually stays for ten days and a half months, but during this time he has to visit relatives and friends, occasionally have time to stay at home, he also has to study, and he also has to serve his parents.
The two can get along very little, and Xu doesn't like her, Xu is worried that his son will be snatched away, and Wang Xu hates to occupy his son all the time.
Even if Wang Wenju stays with her at night, Wang Xu always has a headache and brain fever and needs his son to serve him. She is still not pregnant after two years of marriage, Wang Xu is anxious, and she looks for her son less often at night, but she also uses the excuse that her son wants to study, and she is always angry and asks her not to pester men.
After four years of marriage, Sang Xuanyue and Wang Wenju actually spent less than two months together.
But he respected her and loved her.
Therefore, even when Wang Xu made things difficult for her, he was always powerless to resist and could not persuade his stubborn mother, so he only let her blindly compromise...... But because he loved her, Sang Xuanyue didn't want to embarrass him, so he endured it silently.
Wang Wenjufang died, and she was also in pain. But before she had time to miss him, this short-lived friendship between husband and wife gradually disappeared in the torture of Wang Xu's day after day.
β¦β¦
Sang Xuanyue tore off the pages of the copied scriptures and threw them into the brazier. The paper leaves quickly turned into fly ash. Sang Zhuyue felt a sense of relief in her heart, as if she had the last bit of nostalgia for that marriage that remained in her bones, and just like those papers, they were all lost in this world.
The two sides are benevolent and righteous, and since then, Huangquan will be a passer-by again.
β¦β¦
The night seemed extraordinarily quiet, with snowflakes falling, crushing all the glitz and bustle of the earthly world.
Sang Zhuyue slept soundly this night, and when she woke up the next day, Chunyu had already prepared lunch.
When she washed up and cleaned up, she saw Qing'er yawning and walking over with a wistful expression.
"When did you get up this morning?" Sang Xuanyue saw the dark circles under his brother's eyes, so he asked distressedly.
Qing'er said, "It's still the same as usual, I got up at the beginning of the day." β
"Didn't you sleep for two hours a night?" Sang Twisting Yue's brows furrowed, and she disagreed with his approach. "Reading is important, but it's also important to get a good amount of sleep when you're growing up. In the future, if you slept late the night before, sleep more the next day. You think that you have to work hard, and the time can't be wasted, but you see that you are in a state of weakness now, and you are afraid that you have read a book all morning, and you have not read much. β
It was, really, he hadn't learned much this morning. And my head is dizzy, I yawn all morning, and the whole learning speed is not as good as the usual tenth-twelve.
Qing'er was taught, finished the meal in a few bites, and then went back to the house to catch up on sleep.
Sang Xuanyue walked around the courtyard twice, then called Su Xin to him, and pondered asking her to send a message to the nurse, so that the nurse could come to the Hou Mansion for a trip.
Su Xin asked, "Girl, do you want the nurse to start looking for a house?" β
"As far as you're smart, you can see everything." Sang Xuanyue smiled lightly, "The Wang family has been sentenced, even if the Wang Xu family is still alive now, she will not pose a threat to us." The Hou Mansion is not our own place after all, I pondered, since there is no personal threat, we might as well buy a house and move out. It's better to be in charge of your own house than to send someone under the fence. β
"I know what you mean, but girl, you now let me go and tell the nurse about this, according to the temperament of the nurse, I am afraid that I will get up and go to the house at once. But the snow stopped in the middle of the morning. Yesterday the snow was so heavy that when we pushed the door this morning, it was half blocked. I don't know if anyone has cleaned the snow on the street, and the nurse's legs and feet are not convenient, if she falls and slips, she is old, and she is afraid that it will not be easy to recover. β
Sang Xuanyue was surprised, "Did the snow stop this morning?" β
"Not really. Girl, you slept late yesterday, and we were worried about waking you up, and the snow removal today was very light. But it wasn't until almost lunchtime that our yard was cleaned up. Girl, look at the snow in the corner of the wall and at the root of the tree, we took it all for real, and it's still so thick. β
There was a lot of snow in the corners of the walls and at the roots of the trees, and if you looked closely, there were indeed traces of shovels. But just by looking at the snow, you can know how big the snow was yesterday.
Sang Xuanyue walked out of the door, and then out of the courtyard door, this look, good guy, the snow on the roof in the distance is a foot thick, the path leading to the outside of the Rose Garden, the snow in the middle is shoveled to both sides, the snow on both sides is so thick, looking at the distance, the snow is thicker, and the whole world seems to have entered the cold winter overnight.
In this case, the nurse must not be allowed to come out and walk around. If her body bones really slipped, I am afraid it would not be as simple as lying down for three or two months.
Since he couldn't call the nurse over, Sang Xuanyue was ready to let Su Xin run in person.
As soon as the matter of the Wang family is solved, I want to talk to the nurse to calm her heart. Second, the affairs of the house still have to be entrusted to the nurse, but this matter is not overnight, the nurse can put it in her heart, when you have to be free, just ask the broker, it is to kill time. Finally, let the nurse be careful of her body, she is not young, but don't be old.
Su Xin should come down one by one, change into clothes and prepare to go out.
Sang Xuanyue looked at the weather outside, and was a little uneasy, and said to her, "If there is snow later, you will stay with the nurse for two days and then come back." It's a cold day, I have Su Jin here and they have taken care of enough, and you are loose for two days. β
"That's not going to happen. There are not many people in our courtyard, and if I am not with the girl, it will not be easy for the girl to do anything. I'm sure I'm going to come back, no matter if it's snowing or knives in the sky, I have to come back to guard the girl, and the girl can't leave me. β
Sang Xuanyue and Su Jin were both amused by her narcissistic appearance, and said to her, "You can skin it", and then picked up Su Xin and asked her to hurry out.
Qing'er went back to the room to rest, and Sang Xuanyue didn't want to nest in the room, so she was going to go to the old lady's place.
The old lady had just had a meal, and her habit was to drink tea after lunch to eliminate food, and then take a lunch break.
Coincidentally, at this time, Sang Twisting the Moon came over, and the old lady seemed to be happy. A series of questions asked her, "Is it cold or not?" Is the road slippery or not? I got up early today and asked Mama Cui, only to find out that when your sister and brother came back yesterday, it was going to be a child. Yesterday's snow was heavy, you were delayed on the road, weren't you? β
Sang Xuanyue replied one by one, "It's not cold, the road is not slippery, the maids clean the road very clean, and I walk very lightly in my boots." β
Speaking of last night's incident, he added, "The two uncles drove steadily, but the snow was too big, and we were worried that the wheels would slip, so we walked slower." Fortunately, I returned to the house without danger, but it was too late when I got home, and I didn't get up early today, so I waited until this time to come over to greet you. β
"You girl just see the outside." The old lady said with a relieved face, "I said that you don't need to come over every day to say goodbye, you have to come to this courtyard twice, talk to me, drink tea, then there is no more intimateness." β
The old lady asked her again, "Was the snow scene beautiful yesterday?" β
"It's good-looking, Mochizuki Tower is indeed a good place to enjoy the scenery."
"Last night, Da Lang also went to Mochizuki Tower." The old lady suddenly mentioned Shen Tingjun, and Sang Xuanyue's originally loose heart suddenly rose to midair. She was worried about whether the matter was exposed, but she saw the old lady and said with a regretful face, "Da Lang accompanied His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a banquet yesterday, and he didn't come back until the third watch." I rushed to the court early in the morning, and I was afraid that it was very uncomfortable at this time. β
Sang Xuanyue didn't say anything, and the old lady continued, "If I knew that Da Lang also went to Mochiyue Tower yesterday, I should have asked Da Lang to arrange a box for you, he often went to that place, but unfortunately yesterday I only thought about arranging a driver for you, but I forgot about it." β
What does it mean to "he often goes", and does Shen Tingjun often feast and drink in that kind of place?
Sang Xuanyue hadn't solved her puzzle yet, but Zhou Baolu came to the old lady's yard at this time.
At this time, seeing Zhou Baolu at this place, Sang Zhuoyue was surprised, but the old lady said with a smile, "There are two happy events in the family one after another, I am an old woman, I am old, I don't care about anything, I just have two daughters-in-law under my hand, can I not pull them out as laborers." β
If the situation didn't allow it, the old lady still wanted Sang to help her.
But these two happy events, one is Wang Xiuwen out of the cabinet on the ninth day of the lunar month, and the other is Shen Yuyao on the twenty-third day of the lunar month. These two are auspicious events, but Sang Twisting the Moon is widowed after all, although some families are not too taboo about this matter, but when conditions permit, the powerful people are a little taboo.
"Since my mother knows that she has called us as labor, she can give us more benefits when she turns back, otherwise my second sister-in-law and I will go on strike when we turn back."
Zhou Baolu opened the curtain and walked in with a smile, but the smile on her face suddenly became stagnant after seeing Sang Twisting the moon.
She said in a weird way, "Yo, my cousin is here too?" I heard that my cousin went to Mochizuki Tower last night to enjoy the snow? Cousin is so Yaxing. I also wanted to go yesterday, but unfortunately Rong An is a little grinder, and he kept shouting for me to accompany him. What can I do as a mother? I can only stay at home with my son. β
Sang Xuanyue didn't seem to hear the irony in Zhou Baolu's words, isn't it just that she has no children, she used to feel regretful, but now she feels fortunate that she and Wang Wenju did not give birth to children. Otherwise, how pitiful the child should be.
"My cousin and Rong An have a deep relationship with mother and son, and I am happy for my cousin. It's just that what my cousin said is also right, Rong An is still too young, and he will definitely get cold when he goes out at this time. It's better to wait, wait for a few years when Rong'an is older, and you can take it out. β
Sang Xuanyue's reply was very calm, but Zhou Baolu became more and more angry.
A few days ago, she invited her to go out, but yesterday she took Qing'er to enjoy the scenery, and she didn't hide it from her at all. She thinks that her cousin has a good temper and can tolerate her bouncing back and forth on her bottom line, doesn't she?
Zhou Baolu wanted to say something more, but the old lady opened her mouth to cut off her words.
At this time, the old lady regretted even more that she had allowed this daughter-in-law to enter the door.
It's not her mother-in-law's daughter-in-law, but look at where this daughter-in-law is?
In addition to her good looks, what else can she mention like that?
I really don't know if San Lang was fascinated by her, and he was determined to marry her.
What a scourge.
From the moment she entered the door, she didn't say goodbye to her concubine, and she didn't say anything about the private property of the house and her wife, so she said that where did she offend her? She is close to taking people into the mansion, and on the other hand, she wants to disgust people and arrange people to go to the Rose Garden. A few days ago, it was even worse, and I was still spreading rumors outside.
ββRegarding the matter of the Shi family and the Sang family getting married, although from beginning to end it was outsiders watching the excitement and making a fool of themselves, in fact, the Shi family had a heart, and the Sang family had no intention. But this week, Baolu didn't know how malicious she was to her cousin, and she actually spread such a false rumor, saying that Shi Jialangjun looked like Sang Jiayue's deceased husband, and Sang Jialangyue looked at Shi Jialangjun differently, purely because she missed the old man......
This rumor is so disgusting that the old lady is ruthless and asks people to investigate. After all, this Hou Mansion is the Hou Mansion where the old lady has lived for half her life, and if she has the heart to inquire about something, then there is nothing to hide from her.
Soon, the matter was clarified.
But the mastermind behind this matter is not what the old lady thinks at all, those gatekeepers who love to knock their teeth when they have nothing to do, but the third daughter-in-law of their own in-laws.
The old lady was angry for several days, saying that her head was uncomfortable, and asked Zhou Baolu to kneel in front of her ancestors for a whole day.
I'm sorry babies, I went to repair the computer, and today the computer suddenly went black, and I was scared to death. Fortunately, it can still be repaired, and it took two hours to wait for a long distance to repair it. It's 4000 today, and I'll have more tomorrow. I've kept the babies waiting, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
