Chapter 312

On the second day, the concubine came early in the morning and brought a cart of things. She smiled and said to Tang Shuyi: "It's almost the New Year, and the palace has sent many New Year's gifts, where can Jing Yi and I use so much, bring some to you." ”

Tang Shuyi took her arm and entered the house, and said, "It just so happens that the house is preparing things for the New Year, and this time it will save a lot of silver." ”

The concubine smiled even more happily, she knew that the Dingguo Mansion was rich, where did she need to save this bit of silver. But people who can talk, the words they say are comfortable to listen to. A large family sat down, and the concubine looked at the small flower hall full of relatives, not to mention how happy she was.

Although Jing Yi and Xiao Yuchen, brother and sister, are not her own grandchildren, they have been together for a long time and have invested in each other's feelings, what is the difference between them and relatives?

After sitting together and chatting for a while, Xiao Huai took Xiao Yuchen, Xiao Yuming and Li Jingyi to the front yard, and it was inconvenient for him to stay longer because of the difference between men and women. The concubine had already seen people, and she was already satisfied, and happily talked to Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuzhu.

During lunch, men and women were seated separately, but there was a screen in between, so they could talk to each other. After lunch, Tang Shuyi arranged a room for the concubine to rest in her courtyard, and she and Xiao Huai drank tea and chatted in the small flower hall.

After a while, she said, "I'm also a little tired, rest for a while, Grandpa Guo can take care of himself." ”

Xiao Huai got up with a smile and said, "Thank you, madam." ”

Tang Shuyi waved his hand, and Xiao Huai stepped into the room where the concubine was resting. When I got closer, I saw the concubine lying on the bed with her eyes closed, looking like she was asleep. He walked over and sat down on the chair beside the bed, looking up at his mother.

He is nearly sixty years old, and his sideburns are already full of gray hair. suddenly remembered what his mother had told him before: Don't stay up late at night, otherwise you will be like your father in the future, and there will be no hair left on the top of your head. As the emperor got older, his hair did become thinner.

At this time, the concubine opened her eyes and was startled to see him sitting on the edge of her bed. Then he looked out in a panic and whispered, "Why are you here?" Has anyone been discovered? ”

Xiao Huai couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but his face was serious, "Mother, don't worry, no one will find out." ”

The concubine knew that he was a person who did things safely, so she was relieved. She sat up, Xiao Huai reached out and put a few soft pillows on her back, so that she could lean more comfortably, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine." ”

"I know you're good." The concubine looked at him and sighed, "I'm worried about Shuyi and the three children. ”

Xiao Huai: "........."

"You and Shuyi are like this now, you can find a reason to fool around when the time is short, if it is still like this for a long time, what will the three children think? What do others do to read the book? The concubine said and let out a long sigh, "But you can't get over that hurdle in your heart.... Alas! ”

The concubine knew that Xiao Huai was embarrassed, although he became Xiao Huai, but the core inside was Li Chengyun, who could love Xiao Huai's children as her own children, but Xiao Huai's wife could not be regarded as her own wife.

Xiao Huai didn't know how to explain to the concubine for a while, but after thinking for a while, he said: "My son has also thought about it these days, since I have become Xiao Huai, I should treat myself as him." I ..... with the book These days get along very well. ”

The concubine was stunned for a moment when she heard his words, and then smiled, "That's very good." ”

For Concubine Tang Shuyi, she really can't find anything bad, and she doesn't feel that her son has never been married before, and there is nothing wrong with living with the mother of three children now. The son did not really die, he was already a great creation, and he could no longer be greedy and insufficient. Moreover, if her son keeps being so cold to Tang Shuyi, something will happen sooner or later.

First of all, the three children will be dissatisfied, and then the Tang Guogong Mansion will also be dissatisfied, and then things will be even more difficult. Therefore, it is the best solution for the son to live in harmony with Tang Shuyi.

The mother and son couldn't talk for too long, and after chatting a few more words, Xiao Huai left, and the concubine looked at his back with a smile on her face, if her son really lived a good life with Tang Shuyi, she would really be relieved.

Here Xiao Huai walked into the courtyard, glanced in the direction of Tang Shuyi's bedroom, shook his head with a smile and left.

The concubine went back after dinner, and when she left, Tang Shuyi returned a cart of gifts. The concubine did not refrain when she saw it, and the relationship between courtesy and exchange can last for a long time.

On the second day, Tang Shuyi received an invitation from the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, and three days later, the old lady of the Marquis of Anyuan celebrated her 70th birthday. Tang Shuyi took the invitation and looked at it a few times, and then said to Cuiyun: "Let Steward Zhao inquire whether Old Madam Yang has received the invitation." ”

Old Madam Yang is an important part of her plan, but she can't go over directly, telling people that what Master Yang is doing is dangerous, and it will affect you and your descendants, so make peace with him. In that case, it will definitely be regarded as a neuropathy. Things have to come step by step, first of all, we must first know what Old Madam Yang thinks of Mrs. Yang and Concubine Yuan.

Steward Zhao has always been very efficient, and the results were found out in the afternoon. When he died, An Yuan reported to Tang Shuyi, and met Xiao Huai, who also died in An Yuan, halfway, and he immediately saluted, "Grandpa Guo." ”

Xiao Huai snorted, Steward Zhao thought about it, and told him the results he had found. In fact, he is the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, when Xiao Huai is not there, Tang Shuyi of the Hou Mansion is in charge, he obeys Tang Shuyi's orders, and reports to Tang Shuyi about anything, which is nothing.

But now that Xiao Huai is back, he, the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, should first obey Xiao Huai's orders, and report anything to Xiao Huai first. That's what Xiao Huai did when he first returned home. But within two days, Xiao Huai told him that he was still listening to his wife as before.

Therefore, Steward Zhao knows very well that although Grandpa Guo is back, the Dingguo Mansion is still in charge of the wife.

Xiao Huai listened to his report and said, "I'll tell my wife." ”

Steward Zhao hurriedly responded, bowed and retreated. Xiao Huai walked towards Shi'an Garden, entered the courtyard and heard Cuiyun say that Tang Shuyi was in the study, and he went directly into the study. I saw Tang Shuyi standing in front of the table and writing, serious and quiet, which made people's hearts involuntarily follow the peace.

I walked over with a light pace, and the four words of calm and powerful came into view: quiet and far-reaching.

"Good word." He said involuntarily.

Tang Shuyi was startled by him, and a drop of ink dropped on her hand when she looked up, she snorted, put down the pen in her hand and was about to wipe the ink with a handkerchief. But then a large slender hand reached out, gently grasped her ink-stained hand, and then wiped the ink from her hand little by little with a handkerchief.

The dry and warm touch came, and Tang Shuyi was stunned.

"It was I who caused my wife to stain her hands with ink, so naturally I should wipe it for my wife." Xiao Huai said softly.

He lowered his head and wiped his attention seriously, as if he was really just making amends. And Tang Shuyi's heart was uncontrollably out of rhythm, and she silently took a few deep breaths before she almost pressed down her heart that was almost jumping out.
