3 Chapter 3

Xia An went out with a ghost ball, and was bumped into by Chunqi, who came back from Lingyue, and Chunqi asked the reason, and was not lightly bluffed.

hurriedly came in to look for Xie Yunchu, and caught a glimpse of the master recuperating under the window of the east moon, and rushed over and knelt in front of her,

"Master, you give the slave and maid a clear word, what's the matter?"

Chunqi's mind has always been delicate and cautious, and the two grew up together, their feelings are not ordinary, and everyone else is so confused, but she can't be fooled.

Xie Yunchu pulled her up, and said in a solemn tone, "You don't believe it, I've had a nightmare intermittently these days, dreaming that I was holding a birthday banquet for my wife, and I became ill and terminally ill, and my days were running out." ”

When Chunqi heard this, his face turned pale with fright, recalling that Xie Yunchu had always worked hard and sacrificed himself for others, and it was not impossible for him to have this possibility, and his expression was solemn in an instant.

Xie Yunchu continued, "What's even more ridiculous is that I dreamed that the Lu clan sent Xie Yunxiu into the mansion, intending to make a continuation for the second master when I died, although it was a dream, the omen was not good, Chunqi, Yunxiu is only two years younger than me, I have been married for nearly two years, it is reasonable for her to marry, but she has not returned in the academy, think about it carefully, what is the reason?" ”

Chunqi was even more indignant when he heard this, and scolded with a mouthful,

"That Aunt Lu is a concubine who can't be on the stage, and she dares to beat the girl's idea, it's a dream!"

Xie Yunchu didn't hear Chunqi's chatter later, her mind was full of Chunqi's sentence "Aunt Lu".

Aunt Lu?

That's right, it's March of the eighth year of Tianxi, and Aunt Lu hasn't been corrected yet.

Thinking of this, he sat up straight, Xie Yunchu tightened Chunqi's hand, and asked in a trembling voice,

"From my father's birthday feast... How many days are left? ”

In her previous life, Aunt Lu was corrected at her father's birthday banquet.

It seems to be in the eighth year of Tianxi.

"On the third day of April, there is still half a moon."

Chun Qi saw that Xie Yunchu's face was red and white, and he was a little strange, "Haven't you already prepared a congratulatory gift?" Uncle and our master's birthday are not far away, you are preparing together. ”

Xie Yun's heart was pounding, and it took a long time to calm down.

"Okay, okay, let's celebrate Daddy's birthday at that time."

In this life, she must not let Aunt Lu succeed.

There is still some time for her to make ends meet.

With this dream as a support, Chunqi said that he would not thank Yunchu for being tired, "You really should have a good rest, you will take care of your body, your life is gone, there is nothing left." ”

The intimacy of the master and servant is not a problem.

*

Today, March 16, the sky is clear, it rains for a while, and it is sunny when the morning comes.

The morning light refracted in the dew and shone with five colors.

Today, Wang Shuhuai rested.

After the champion, he was assigned to the Hanlin editor, and now the two years have expired, and he has reached the threshold of promotion.

The general election in March is customary, and the results should be announced by the end of the month.

Wang Shuhuai got up in the morning to greet his parents, and returned to the outer courtyard study with his father, the second master of the Wang family.

The second old man Wang Shou is middle-aged and blessed, and his figure is no longer as upright as he is young, only that face can still find a bit of the old grandeur, he sat behind the bookcase with a big belly, and almost filled Wang Shuhuai's red sandalwood circle chair, the housekeeper immediately bowed in to serve tea, and brought the purple clay pot that the second master was used to drinking, which was boiling a pot of red robes, and then poured a cup of West Lake Longjing for Wang Shuhuai, and said with a smile,

"Second master, second master, please drink tea." Then he closed the door and retreated.

Wang Shou is the eldest son of the Wang family, and Wang Shuhuai is also the eldest grandson of the Wang family.

The Langya Wang clan has stood for a hundred years, and the children of the clan, Zhilan Yushu, have produced many talents, and they are still prosperous in the Great Jin Dynasty.

The first emperor ascended to the great treasure, the old lady of the Wang family had the merit of the dragon, was named the prince of the kingdom, and the old man had a childhood sweetheart Zhen in front of him, who was the mother of the second master Wang Shou, and Zhen died not long after giving birth to his son.

coincided with the loss of Princess De Jong, and the first emperor decided to marry the only princess to the old lady Wang as his wife.

The eldest princess of Derong also has a son in front of her, who is half a year older than the second lord Wang Shou, and is guilty of rebellion against the horse party.

Later, the eldest princess and the grandfather of the country gave birth to two sons and one daughter, namely the third master, the fourth master, and the fifth aunt and grandmother of the Wang family.

The eldest princess has a noble status, and the eldest lord of the Wang family is good at dancing with long sleeves, and she is like a fish in water in the Guogong Mansion, as if she is an eldest brother.

It is lined with the second old man Wang Shou, who has no mother since he was a child, and is a little cowardly and incompetent.

The second master was pressed by the eldest brother who had no blood relationship at the top, and there were several golden and noble younger brothers below, and he was about to become an invisible person in the middle.

Until Wang Shuhuai was born, the eldest grandson of the Wang family, who was very patriarchal, had a gentle temperament, was outstanding, abandoned the family officials, devoted himself to scientific research, and finally shined and became the champion of the dynasty.

made the second master a little angry.

He sat behind the bookcase, looking at his young, noble and elegant son, his eyes couldn't help showing pride, but when he thought of the election, his brows furrowed slightly,

"Yesterday, I was drinking in the West Chamber, and I met Lord Quan of the Ministry of Officials, saying that all the officials of the Ministry had fallen in love with you, and intended to ask you to go to your own yamen to watch the government, but Lord Quan said, and finally decided which family depends on the meaning of the eldest princess, Huai'er, which department do you want to go to? Do you want to go to the palace for your father and ask your grandfather to plead to the eldest princess? ”

Although the eldest princess of De Rong has been married, she does not live in the princess's mansion, just because when she seized the heir, she assisted Jin Shang to kill a bloody road, and she respects this sister very much, and she has been asked what she means by the government and government, so the eldest princess has lived in the deep palace for so many years, and rarely returns to the house.

Wang Shuhuai went to which yamen to take office, such trivial matters could not have alarmed the emperor and the eldest princess, first, Wang Shuhuai's status was noble, and second, Wang Shuhuai's identity was special, after all, he was not the grandson of the eldest princess's relatives, in case the eldest princess had no deep meaning, the courtiers did not want to offend this woman who called for wind and rain.

When Wang Shuhuai heard this, his face did not change in the slightest, and a touch of joy appeared on his handsome face, "Father, don't worry, you go to make a statement, but you will complicate things, and it seems that you have nothing to do, where the eldest princess decides, the son will go." ”

Wang Shou took a deep look at his son, he was wearing a dense porcelain-colored straight jacket today, and the Hetian Qin jade given to him by the princess of the birth was hanging around his waist, such a color is not outstanding, and he is afraid that others will be pressed to the bleak, but it is different when worn on Wang Shuhuai, his temperament is too outstanding, his expression is cold and calm, but the color is lined with a bit of fairy spirit.

If the son is really the kind of person who is at the mercy of others, it is simple, I am afraid that it is not.

"Don't make a fuss."

Wang Shuhuai lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The second old man pursed his mouth, glanced at his calm son again, and snorted lightly.

That's it, he can't help, let the little fox toss by himself.

The second master was not used to worrying, and quickly put his worries behind, but instead stared at Wang Shuhuai and asked,

"Resting at your daughter-in-law last night?"

Wang Shuhuai's expression was slightly stunned, he was an extremely focused person, and he was busy with his future, if it wasn't for his father's deliberate reminder, he almost forgot about last night's unhappiness.

Facing his father's slightly playful eyes, Wang Shuhuai was speechless, he never bothered to speak in the parents, and his expression remained the same,

"Yes."

looked like he didn't want his father to ask more.

The second master also understands that where can Lao Tzu take care of his son's affairs in the room, the reason why he asked more is because Xie Shi did not go to the room to ask for peace when he was sick today, and the daughter-in-law who had never been able to move the morning and dusk province suddenly disappeared, he could only think that it was a young couple and a young couple, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and the toss was ruthless, and Xie was shy.

Before Xie gave birth to a son-in-law, Wang Shuhuai could not take a concubine, which was the rule of the Wang family.

The son has been absent for a long time, and it is understandable that he can't hold it for a while.

Seeing that Wang Shuhuai was silent, the second master knew that he was chasing guests, so he got up and walked out.

Wang Shuhuai respectfully sent him to the door, Fang turned back, entered the study, the emotion on his face faded, and he took out a stack of specially made thin oil paper from the box of Duobao Pavilion and began to write a letter.

After writing, call someone to send it out.

The guards went out, and it was Chang Sui Minggui who came in with a smile on his face and carrying a food box.

"Master, young grandma sent Qiusui to send lily lotus seed soup, you can drink it while it's hot."

When Wang Shuhuai was in the house, Xie Yunchu took care of him very diligently three times a day.

After taking a few sips as usual, the taste was different from usual, but I didn't think much of it.

He is very sensitive, but he does not care about everything.

He didn't know that from today on, his diet was no longer Xie Yunchu's own hands.

After drinking, seeing that Minggui didn't leave, Wang Shuhuai raised his head coldly, "Something?" ”

Minggui showed concern, "Before the little one entered the study, I saw Chunqi going to ask for a doctor, it seems that the young grandmother is not in good health." ”

Wang Shuhuai was silent, which can explain Xie Yunchu's refusal to have sex with him and to raise his body.

It just so happened that he was not in a hurry.

Last night's incident, although Xie Yunchu was at fault, he didn't take it to heart.

"Well, you go and take care of it, and be sure to tell the doctor to be careful."

asked others to pay attention, but he didn't care, Minggui was speechless, and silently scolded a few words of respect.

*

Xie Yunchu did invite a doctor, first, she had to find a powerful cover for her abruptness, and second, she really planned to take care of her body.

Recalling the conversation with Wang Shuhuai last night, she also realized that she had rejected Wang Shuhuai to have sex with her by mistake, and she was satisfied, but if she didn't give a reasonable explanation, it would be difficult to ensure that the couple would be in discord.

Chunqi listened to her and went to ask for a doctor.

The Wang family is the premier family in the capital, and because of the eldest princess, the Tai Hospital specially assigned a Tai Doctor to the Wang family, and soon the Tai Doctor came over and prescribed Xie Yunchu a prescription for invigorating qi and strengthening blood, Xie Yunchu drank medicine at lunch, woke up from a sleep, bathed and changed clothes, and was radiant.

Even if you decide to continue your life, you can't miss it in the morning and dusk.

Xie Yunchu changed into a red cardigan and a light pink flower-sprinkled skirt, and went to the upper room generously.

Xie Yunchu's mother-in-law Jiang is a stunning beauty, the Jiang family is an old noble, Jiang has been raised since childhood, the clothes come to reach out for food to open the mouth, raise a body of fine skin and tender meat, in the early years was an arrogant and domineering lord, and later married into the Wang family and became the daughter-in-law of the eldest princess, had to restrain her temperament, her husband couldn't do it, and she was difficult to get along with.

Take last night's incident as an example, it is clear that Xie Yunchu refused to have sex with him, but the Jiang family did not receive any news, why, Chunjingtang is either a confidant brought by Xie Yunchu, or Wang Shuhuai's manpower, and the Jiang family can't get in.

Because Xie Yunchu is the daughter-in-law chosen by the eldest princess, she is capable, steady, dignified and generous, and the Jiang family has love and hate for her.

What I love is that she finally has a capable daughter-in-law to take charge of the house for her, and she can finally take a break.

What I hate is that I didn't pick my daughter-in-law after all, and it's a layer apart.

Jiang gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

Wang Shuhuai refused to get married because he was dedicated to studying, and Jiang was anxious to ask his daughter-in-law to take over, so he first married his daughter-in-law to Wang Shuhuai's younger brother Wang Shukuang, and after Xie Yunchu became pregnant, he married the fourth master Wang Shu and his daughter-in-law.

Jiang was angry outside, so he loved to make his daughter-in-law angry.

When Xie Yun first entered Ninghe Hall, he saw his beautiful mother-in-law angry at the fourth daughter-in-law.

"Isn't it just gargling, you can't serve well? Look at your second sister-in-law, Brother Huai's daughter-in-law was more beautiful than you, and I haven't seen you so clumsy. ”

Jiang is lazy, sleeps late every day, and gets up at the right time.

The fourth grandmother, Xu Shiwei, holding a spittoon in her hand, stood tremblingly under the soft collapse, her white face was about to be scolded and cried, "Mother, I will learn from my sister-in-law in the future..."

The maid immediately stepped forward to take over, and when Jiang rinsed his mouth and drank tea, the maid sent another bowl of bird's nest porridge.

At this time, Jiang likes to drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge to nourish his spirit.

Xu Shiwei looked at the bowl of bird's nest porridge, her heart was bitter, and she just caught a glimpse of Xie Yun walking calmly, she seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly greeted her, "Second sister-in-law, you can come, I have been talking to my mother about you for a day, how is it, is your body okay?" ”

Xie Yunchu glanced at Xu Shiwei quietly, smiled and curled his lips, "Thank you brother and sister for your concern." ”

In her previous life, she had the best relationship with Xu Shiwei, Xu Shiwei was sweet and well-behaved, Xie Yunchu took care of her everywhere, where did she think that after the news of Xie Yunxiu's upcoming renewal came out, she was the first to show favor to Xie Yunxiu.

Sure enough, no one should be disgraced.

Xie Yunchu first stepped forward and bowed elegantly to his mother-in-law, then took the porcelain cup in the maid's hand, stirred it gently, put it on the back of his hand and tested the temperature.

Xu Shiwei saw it on the side and said with concern, "Sister-in-law, slow down, don't burn your mother." ”

When Xie Yunchu adjusted the temperature, he asked worriedly, "Can you drink it?" ”

Xie Yunchu was doing it, and it sounded like she was working.

Xie Yunchu scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Jiang.

Early this morning, Mama Lin gave Jiang a leave of absence, saying that Xie Yunchu was unwell and could not settle down in the morning and dusk.

Jiang's face changed as soon as she heard this, she was used to being served by Xie Yunchu, and she couldn't leave for a while, the third daughter-in-law was the most strong, and she wanted to take Xie Yunchu's right to feed, taking advantage of Xie Yunchu's absence, she went to the council hall with a needle, and she hasn't come back yet.

She can only ask her daughter-in-law to serve.

The daughter-in-law is stupid, she has scalded her a few times, and her mouth is sweet on weekdays, so she really doesn't have a lot of skills to work.

With others to make comparisons, seeing Xie Yunchu now, Jiang's anger was smooth, and he naturally opened his mouth and enjoyed Xie Yunchu's service.

Just as the spoonful of bird's nest porridge was about to be put into his mouth, Xie Yunchu shook his arm uncontrollably, turned his face and coughed lightly.

Jiang's brows furrowed.

Xie Yunchu hurriedly took a step back and said ashamedly, "I had a bit of a cold last night, I'm afraid it's not very good, please forgive my mother-in-law." ”

In the past, she affectionately called "mother", but now it has been changed to "mother-in-law".

Jiang hasn't noticed these subtle changes, and she doesn't have to be fed, not to mention that there are maids and grandmothers who serve her closely, but she has been a daughter-in-law for many years, so she wants to play majestic and enjoy the taste of being served.

Xie Yunchu covered his mouth and planned to continue moving forward, but at this time, Xu Shiwei said politely as usual, "Why don't I come, I always see my sister-in-law serving my mother, and I should also learn." ”

This kind of polite words, Xie Yunchu's ears quickly heard the cocoon.

Xu Shiwei was also like this in her previous life, whenever she had to serve her mother-in-law, Xu Shiwei watched from the sidelines, although her hands and feet were slow, her mouth was fast, and she said from time to time,

"What kind of porridge did my sister-in-law prepare today, I think I have to add a taste of ginseng here."

"Oh, my sister-in-law is still capable, and she serves her mother brilliantly, I admire my sister-in-law."

slapped her mother-in-law's ass in one sentence, and flattered Xie Yunchu again.

When he speaks, his face is full of infatuation, and his mouth is sweet, which is really difficult to guard.

As soon as Xu Shiwei said this today, Xie Yunchu immediately turned around and put the porridge bowl in her hand with kindness, with bright eyes,

"I'm not in good health, and I've been working hard for my younger siblings to serve my mother-in-law for the past two days."

Xu Shiwei was stunned.

Jiang glanced at Xie Yunchu, Xie Yunchu had already made a demonstration, if Xu Shiwei still couldn't learn well, it would be stupid.

Xu Shiwei bumped into the scrutinizing eyes cast by her mother-in-law, and took the porcelain cup hard.

While Xu Shiwei was waiting, Xie Yunchu was on the side to point,

"Whether it is tea or porridge, you have to try it at the tiger's mouth, the tea should be five minutes cold, and the porridge should be six minutes warm.... Don't burn your mother-in-law. ”

"By the way, you must add a taste of ginseng to the porridge in the morning, and the spirit of the day will be enough."

"Look, I'm not here today, my mother-in-law is bright, it can be seen that the fourth brother and sister are more pleasing to my mother-in-law than me..."

Listening to Xu Shiwei Erguo is very familiar.

Xie Yunchu coughed a few more times after speaking.

Jiang Shi was first flattered by the sentence "Radiant people", and then saw that Xie Yunchu was coughing constantly, worried that she would bring her illness to herself, so she waved her hand in disgust.

"Go back and rest, don't come here until it's all right."

Xie Yun waited for this sentence, graceful and polite,

"The daughter-in-law retired, and the mother-in-law liked the begonias, so the daughter-in-law went to the yard to fold a few begonias and sent someone to send them."

Xu Shiwei blinked, isn't this what she often does?

*

Xie Yunchu hit the hugging house behind Ning He Tang and went out of the upper room, since the lingering sickbed in the previous life, Xie Yunchu has never been out of the yard, her steps are a little impatient, through the hall, stepping on a flat-folded stone bridge, facing the warm wind, she took a deep breath, the air flow down the throat into the internal organs, the long-standing turbidity to empty the air.

In her previous life, she lived as a dignified and virtuous wife in the eyes of others, a virtuous and filial daughter-in-law, an amiable and respectable sister-in-law, and an archway that everyone in the capital envied.

Only did not live out themselves.

In this life, she wants to change her way of life.

Xie Yunchu took the maid back to pick a basket of flowers, and instructed Chunqi to find two azure plum bottles and prepare for flower arrangement.

Wang Shuhuai followed the old practice and came to Chunjingtang for dinner, and as soon as he stepped on the corridor, he caught a glimpse of a group of warblers and swallows gathered in the quiet bright room on weekdays. He frowned, he never liked to be noisy, and the Xie family was always considerate, why was there a mess in the yard today.

Look closely, the most eye-catching is the girl in the red dress of the begonia, she is tall and slender, with red lips and white teeth, a hundred birds and phoenix peonies inlaid with gems and gold hairpins on the bun, and a pink begonia pinned to the end of her hair, like a pink butterfly happily shuttling among the flower branches.

This spirit is not like a bad body.
