Marrying Uncle v. 63
King Li could see that Cao Xun's attitude towards Emperor Qianxing was closer, but at that time, Emperor Qianxing was the crown prince, and Cao Xun really showed concern for the nephew of another prince, so he became harmful to others and himself.
King Li didn't think Cao Xun would be stupid.
But until today, he really felt this uncle's concern for him, and a simple verbal instruction may just be a face-saving job, but Cao Xun told him how to borrow the favor of Zeng Yu, the governor of Guizhou, at a critical moment, this favor can really save his life.
Almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Emperor Qianxing's face and acted like a shoe, only Cao Xun, who risked being rejected by Emperor Qianxing, took care of his nephew.
.
Yunzhu returned to the Ningguo Mansion with her mother and sister-in-law, and her whole body was wilted.
Meng has experienced a lot of things, and although he is very reluctant to have his youngest son, he will not ignore other things.
She persuaded her daughter: "You have been staying at home for three nights in a row, and now that Brother Xian'er is gone, you should go back quickly, don't wait for the evening to call Fushan to pick you up." β
Yunzhu was excited: "What are you going to do when you go back, look at that spring breeze proudly?" β
In the past, Pan was only the emperor's mother-in-law, and the emperor's son-in-law didn't care much about her, so Pan couldn't play too much. Now Pan has become the emperor's maternal grandmother, and the palace is completely dominated by her daughter and grandson, Pan's status in the capital is much higher than before, and as soon as the national funeral is lifted, there will be official wives to come to the door to pat her ass.
The person who comes is a guest, and Yunzhu, as the Duchess of Dingguo, has to come forward to entertain her.
Yun Zhu really didn't want to socialize with this, not to mention that the Pan family would definitely take the opportunity to taunt her.
Meng Shi: "She is proud of her, and no matter how proud she is, it is a joy on her lips, is it possible that she still dares to ask you to go to the morning and dusk province every day, so that you can rub her shoulders and pinch her back?" Could it be that she did it, and you did it obediently? β
Yunzhu: "Unless she dreams." β
Meng: "That's right, she can't help you at all, why should you take her seriously and continue to live at home, she still thinks you're afraid of her." β
Yunzhu really has no suitable reason to stay in her parents' house, it doesn't matter what Pan thinks, she has to take care of her husband and wife relationship with Cao Xun.
As soon as Yunzhu returned to the Dingguo Mansion here, the Pan family received the news.
She smiled and said to Mama Fang beside her, "Send a little maid and call her over." β
Mama Fang hesitated and said, "That person's temperament, I'm afraid the little maid won't move." β
Not to mention the little girl, she went over in person, as long as Yunzhu was unwilling, she would not go on this trip obediently.
Pan: "She's not stupid, in the past, the emperor favored her father, she was able to be a powerful person, but now the Li family doesn't have the original scenery, she should know to please me if she is clever." β
Mama Fang had no choice but to order a little maid to go to the main courtyard to spread the word.
It was raining continuously, and Yunzhu changed his clothes and leaned on the couch near the window in the second room boredly. She wanted to read a book, but she couldn't read it at all, and her mind was full of her brother who was hurrying in the rain.
When the maid from Pan's side came over, Yunzhu was lying by the window, staring at the drizzle outside the window in a daze.
Forsythia came in with a curtain and conveyed Pan's meaning in a huff.
Yunzhu was actually amused by the Pan family, you must know that since Emperor Qianxing ordered his younger brother to go to other places with King Li, Yunzhu has not laughed once in the past three days.
"Let's just say that I'm tired and can't walk, she either asks the maid to pass the word, or comes and tells me herself."
She and Pan's Liangzi have already been married, even if she is now a submissive daughter-in-law at the mercy of Pan's, Pan's will not treat her kindly, so why should Yunzhu wronged herself?
Forsythia saved some face for Pan's family, and only conveyed the first half of the sentence to the little maid sent by Pan's family.
However, Pan asked Yun Zhu to bow her head in front of her today, and sneered: "It's good news if you're tired, let her rest and come back." β
The poor little maid had to make another leg run.
This time, Forsythia didn't need to ask the master, and replied to the little maid: "Okay, I'll tell Madame, wait for Mrs. Lao's side." β
As for how long it will take and whether it can wait, that's Pan's own business.
Pan's waited until dusk, and Cao Xun returned.
Cao Xun returned home, of course, first bathed, and after changing his clothes, he went to the backyard to look for the little lady he hadn't seen for three days.
Yunzhu was lying on the couch, her long hair was messy, and she had obviously come over like this for half a day.
In her hand she held a boy's ornament carved from boxwood, about four inches long.
Cao Xun sat next to her and hugged her: "Are you thinking about Brother Xian'er?" β
Yunzhu leaned on his shoulder and nodded sullenly.
Cao Xun took the boxwood villain in her hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said with a smile: "The eyebrows and eyes are a little similar to Brother Xian'er." β
Yunzhu: "It's like, this is what I found when I went to the woodcarving shop when I was ten years old, and I thought it looked like Brother Xian'er bought it, and I have never been willing to throw it away." β
Cao Xun: "I'll go back and see, if there is something like you and your brother, buy it back together, and make up three siblings." β
Yunzhu hit him.
Cao Xun bowed his head, wanting to kiss her face.
Yunzhu dodged, not in the mood.
At this time, Forsythia came to pass the word sullenly, saying that Pan had come to the main courtyard and had something to see Uncle Guo.
Forsythia handed the master a look: Mrs. Tai must have come to complain to Uncle Guo!
Yun Zhu smiled, facing Forsythia, his hand touched Cao Xun's neck with his back to Forsythia, and his fingertips seemed to draw two circles along his rolling Adam's apple: "Do you want to go?" β
Cao Xun grabbed the little lady's hand and instructed Forsythia: "Just say that I am tired, if the lady has nothing important, you can talk about it tomorrow morning." β
Forsythia smiled and withdrew.
Not to mention that Mrs. and Uncle Guo are a natural pair, the excuses used to prevaricate Mrs. Tai are exactly the same!
Chapter 55 "Have You Ever Wondered If the Problem Really Is Me?"
If a person is not in a good mood, doing something indulgent may release those heavy emotions.
Some people will choose to drink heavily, some will choose to practice martial arts, and some people will choose to spend lavishly.
Yun Zhu was not interested in doing anything at this time, just because Cao Xun didn't pay attention to Pan and made her laugh a little, and when he came to kiss him again, Yun Zhu didn't refuse.
Afraid of accidentally getting pregnant, Cao Xun was very restrained during the national funeral, and the couple never had it once, so as not to be caught by the imperial history. Followed by Li Xian to follow King Li to the domain, Yun Zhu was reluctant to move his younger brother back to his parents' house for three nights, Cao Xun was already worried about it, and after this little farewell, when the little lady lay in the crook of his arm again, and looked obediently cooperative, where could Cao Xun bear it.
Yunzhu used this as a way to relieve depression.
She doesn't care if the maids outside will hear it, everything is as she wants.
Night completely fell, and her whole body was soft in Cao Xun's arms.
For more than half an hour, there were only the two of them in the house, and Forsythia and the others had avoided the corner of the verandah, where would they come to light the lamps for the masters without interest.
Therefore, the house was pitch black, except for the sound of a fine light rain brushing on the window paper.
Yun Zhu tilted her head back, Cao Xun's slender and broad right hand dragging the back of her head steadily, so close that he could see Yun Zhu's wet and closed eyelashes, and could see a drop of sweat or tears rolling down her hot flashing cheeks. Her lips were still open, and Cao Xun kissed them again, and he could continue whenever she wanted.
As he was about to touch those cherry-sweet lips, Yunzhu lazily tilted his head in his palm.
That's what it means to be enough.
Cao Xun smiled and said, "My name is the maid to prepare water." β
Yunzhu mumbled indistinctly.
The water was quickly ready, and Cao Xun carried her into the bathtub.
Yun Zhu seemed to have exhausted all his energy in the scene just now, lying lazily on his shoulder, letting him do everything.
Cao Xun explained his little lady without saying a word.
"Brother Xian'er will definitely lead troops in the future, so it's good to go to a few more places to increase your experience while you are young."
"A prince and a third prince of the Ningguo Mansion, no matter how much the local officials try to figure out the holy will, they will not dare to openly disrespect them."
"In fact, Guizhou is only far away from the capital, and it is not as poor as you think, the scenery there is beautiful, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the hot season is similar to the early summer in Beijing, and even ice is not used."
"According to the situation of show girls in previous years, there are also many beauties in Guizhou, and maybe Brother Xian'er will meet a few confidantes over there."
When Yunzhu heard this, he finally reacted, and sneered: "If you are the brother of Xian'er, you will worry about whether the beauty is beautiful or not." β
Cao Xun: "First, I've never thought about any beauty. Second, Brother Xian'er is a younger brother in front of you, and outside he is the handsome third son of the Ningguo Mansion, and it is inevitable that he will be sought after by the local ladies, how do you know that he will not be moved? β
Yunzhu: "He's only fifteen!" β
Cao Xun smiled: "Whether a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy will pursue a beautiful girl, you should know better than anyone else." β
Yunzhu: "......"
Cao Xun said: "Don't worry, what should be prepared for Brother Xian'er, father-in-law and mother-in-law have prepared, and even Lang Zhong has arranged one to ensure that they arrive at the palace safely all the way." β
Yunzhu was still somewhat comforted by him.
After changing their clothes, the two went to the hall to eat.
Yunzhu thought of Pan's and asked Forsythia, "Mrs. Tai is gone?" β
Forsythia recalled Pan's iron-blue face more than half an hour ago, and couldn't help but smile: "Let's go." β
Yunzhu looked at Cao Xun and snorted: "You still have a big face, you can work for her to come to look for you in person, but she sent someone to call me to the West Courtyard twice during the day to greet her." β
Cao Xun sandwiched a dish of her favorite food for the little lady and said, "Whatever she shouts, don't pay attention to her if you don't like to go." β
Yunzhu: "I'm afraid that she will go to the mother to complain, detain me for a big unfilial crime, and ask you to divorce me." β
Cao Xun said disapprovingly: "You and I are the first emperor to marry, if she is dissatisfied, ask her to go and talk to the first emperor." β
These words were enough to damage, and Yunzhu was finally amused by him.
In the early morning of the next day, Pan really rushed to the main courtyard when Cao Xun went out.
Cao Xun sat in the hall wearing the scarlet official uniform of a military attachΓ© of Zhengyipin, and politely entertained her: "Yesterday was busy with official business, I rested as soon as I returned home, I don't know what my mother is looking for me?" β
Pan Shi smiled lightly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that Yunzhu's temper is getting bigger and bigger, I asked her to go to the West Courtyard to see me, she pushed again and again, and there was clearly no me, my mother-in-law, so I didn't know the etiquette, and her own reputation was not good, and it also damaged your reputation, so I wanted to ask you to talk about her, and ask her to get rid of the arrogant temper when she was a child." β
In the past, his grandson had not yet been the emperor, and he had to rely on Cao Xun's prestige in the court, but now that his grandson has ascended the throne, he has become a mutually dependent relationship with Cao Xun, and Cao Xun must also work hard to get the favor and reuse of his grandson, so Pan feels that she can also put her mother's score in front of Cao Xun a little, at least in the matter of Yunzhu, Cao Xun should change his original attitude of blind connivance.
Pan will not be stupid enough to target Cao Xun, as long as Yunzhu bows her head in front of her, Cao Xun can't do anything against her for this little thing, adding another trouble to herself. Men, who are bent on officialdom and deal with the affairs of the back house, like to be in harmony, so that his wife can maintain a harmonious relationship with his mother-in-law if he is wronged, why not.
Cao Xun didn't answer Pan's words, and asked in a calm tone: "Yunzhu has been married for a year, and her mother usually doesn't look for her much, what is the purpose of calling her over this time?" β
Pan's kind smile retracted slightly: "Brother Xian'er has left Beijing, I know that she is uncomfortable, and asking her to go over and talk can somewhat divert her mind." β
Cao Xun nodded: "Mother is kind, I took it for Yunzhu, but she was drenched in a little rain outside yesterday, and her body was not very comfortable, so she really didn't mean not to see you." β
Pan: "...... Is it? Speaking of which, she usually looks alive, why hasn't she moved for a year since she married you? Why don't I go and transfer the doctor to the mother, not only to see if Yunzhu is cold, but also to check if she has any old diseases. β
