In winter, the sun rises late.
It was almost time for the morning court, all the officials who participated in the court meeting were already waiting at the gate of the palace in advance.
As soon as Xu Chengting got off the carriage, countless needle-like gazes immediately pierced over, the pair of black eye circles looked particularly resentful under the light of the lanterns.
A group of people stared at Xu Chengting, silently condemning and accusing.
What is the death scene of a large ancient society?
That's it.
Also with a pair of thick and heavy dark circles under his eyes, Xu Chengting forced a smile from the corner of his mouth, and kept bowing to apologize to his colleagues.
Thinking about the morning before dawn, which officials have to get up in the middle of the night and start preparing to clean up, they couldn't sleep for a few hours at night, and the commotion last night was so loud...
No matter how much everyone scolds xu chengting Eighteen generations of the ancestorsin their hearts, on the surface, they have to say a few words of hypocrisy and put a smile on their face.
It's okay to return the salute with a better relationship, no one has a bear child; while comforting Xu Chengting in a warm voice, silently slandered in the bottom of heart: Even if it all adds up, there is no bear child like your family.
Sure enough, the sense of superiority was compared. In the past, they were still bothered by the naughty children at home all day long. In this way, the children in their own family were really well-behaved and sensible.
The poor relationship with Xu Chengting directly rolled his eyes and said angrily: "There is a big battle in Xu Houye's mansion!"
If he had encountered such an attitude in the past, Xu Chengting would have gone back without being humble or arrogant. But now... what can he do? It was his fault, he could only smile and suffer.
Lord Shen, who had always been on good terms with Xu Chengting, quietly pulled him aside. He asked in a low voice,
"Brother Xu, what exactly is your home..." Shenhou's residence and Xuhou's residence are on the same street, not far from each other. At night, the sound of the gong and the clear voice of the child woke him up from the bed.
Xu Chengting smiled wryly at his friend.
"Brother Shen laughed..."
...
Sandalwood curled up, and the rows of spirits on the table quietly watched the little doll eat the tribute on the table one by one in front of them.
"Don't be so stingy, just eat a few of your fruits..." Xiao Niansheng said to the tablet on the case. The fleshy little hand picked up another one from the plate.
"You won't be able to eat it anyway."
"Kacha—"
Cub sat lazily on the futon, with a mouthful of apples, bananas, and other small mouths gossiping with the various spiritual positions on the case. Fruit pits and peels.
Compared to the mental exhaustion of everyone in the house who had not slept all night, the cub is still full of vitality.
Listening to the sound of ding ding dong dong carrying and repairing outside the house, the cub's face was happy, and sipped the fruit in her hand again.
At night, Peipei and Xu Chengting staged a chasing battle on the roof. As long as the two stayed on it, the tiles on the roof fell.
"Crackling!" The sound of tiles falling and shattering continued one after another.
The frightened people could only stand in the middle of the yard, staring blankly at the two figures on the roof, one big and one small, who kept on "demolition".
When the cubs saw that the trouble was almost over, she was obediently caught by Xu Chengting, the entire roof was almost bare.
Xu Chengting was so angry that his face was blue, he couldn't realize other things in his mind, and only thought about how to clean up this lawless little thing in his hand.
But what can he do with this three-year-old baby?
Play the board?
Qin Yiniang harmed no one and was not beaten, but your daughter is going to be beaten for "knocking on the gong and practicing voice" at night?
scold?
No matter how sternly Xu Chengting reprimanded, the little doll faced him with an indifferent attitude, and she was just taking what he said as fart.
In the end, Xu Chengting, who was so angry, could only temporarily lock the cubs in the ancestral hall and think about it.
There will always be one or two haunted stories in every ancestral hall. Xu Dun once used this to frighten Xu Jin. For the children of the Xu family, punishing them for kneeling in the ancestral hall is definitely a serious punishment. No one wants to spend the night there. .
But for the cubs, it's just another place to make up for sleep.
The old lady was getting old and couldn't stand the excitement. When she saw the big scene at night, she fell down all of a sudden. The old lady in the Hou Mansion was lying on the bed, and no one in each room could run away, so they took turns to serve the sick one by one with dark circles under their eyes.
The roof of the main courtyard was almost damaged by the disaster.
While Xu Chengting was going to the court, he had to order the people to repair it quickly. There are also frightened people nearby and they have to apologize in person one by one. As Mrs. Hou's Du Yunniang, these are all her business.
After serving the old lady's decoction, she comforted the concubines in each room, then visited the mansion near the Hou's mansion with gifts. As soon as returned to the mansion, before it was too late to rest, I heard that the servants came to report that Mrs. Zhen San was here. ...
The young woman in luxurious clothes was holding hot tea and sipping slowly, her slender fingers lightly holding a handkerchief. After a long time, she slowly understood her intentions.
"I've heard everything about your house. Why is there such a big commotion?"
Du Yunniang sat beside her with a tired face, barely holding up a smile and said, "Even you've heard about it, so you can see how big the commotion is. It's also because I have no way to discipline..."
Looking at the pale Yunniang, Mrs. Zhen San had a complicated expression and gently placed the teacup on the table.
People outside said that Mrs. Xu Hou was lucky to marry Xu Chengting. If she knew that she had achieved today, she should have married her own girl. However, few people know that, in fact, Xiao Shen also discussed marriage with Xu Chengting at the beginning, but in the end she chose to marry the noble Zhen family and become Mrs. Zhen San.
Although the Zhen family treats her very well, and her parents-in-law and sister-in-law are all kind people, but whenever she hears the words of Xu Hou and his wife's love and harmony, Xiao Shen's heart still can't help but feel a little awkward, as if everyone is mocking her behind her back. Same.
Therefore, seeing Du Yunniang's tired and pale face today, Xiao Shen's heart was actually a little overjoyed.
However, she knew that this was wrong. She and Du Yunniang were close, and the two were very close. Du Yunniang had helped her in front of other ladies, and outsiders knew that they were close friends.
Forcibly suppressing those thoughts in her heart, Xiao Shen patted Du Yunniang's hand and said, "Children are all debts. But you are better than me, at least you have a daughter under your knees, it's not like I've been in the door for a few years, My stomach hasn't moved yet..."
Xiao Shen couldn't help but look gloomy when mentioned this. The queen sister in the palace also specially sent a royal doctor to show her, and they all said that she should take care of her body slowly.
Du Yunniang smiled and said, "There are so many imperial physicians and there will always be children. They will come naturally when it's time to come, so don't be in a hurry. Besides, even if you don't have children, your in-laws treat you like their own daughters, and others will envy you It's too late..."
"Yes." Xiao Shen said proudly. Over the years, although she has never been pregnant, none of her husband and Zhen family said she was not good at all, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law patiently comforted her.
Du Yunniang laughed and scolded: "Co-author, you are here to show off to me."
Xiao Shen smiled and rushed over to fight with Du Yunniang: "Look at what you said, how dare I show off to Madam Xu Hou, who don't know, Lord Xu is now a celebrity in front of the emperor."
There were bursts of laughter from the room, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble." Du Yunniang said softly. She rubbed her arms and shoulders. "I went door-to-door today to apologize, I was exhausted."
Mrs. Shen sighed and said, "Don't say you are tired, I am too. I usually follow my sister-in-law to receive all the ladies who come to visit Zhen's residence. Which of the ladies of the aristocratic families who have lived in the imperial city for several generations does not have eyes on the top of their heads, and arrogance is revealed in their words. Although I have lived in this imperial city for several years, I am the most impatient here. All kinds of rules..."
Du Yunniang smiled and didn't answer.
Although she is on good terms with Xiao Shen, she still has scruples about Xiao Shen's identity. She has to be measured in what to say and what not to say.
The little Shen family is the younger sister of the current queen and the elder brother is Lord Shen, who holds a lot of troops. The relationship between the Shen family and the Xu family has always been close. Because Xiao Shen's friendship with her, Du Yunniang quickly entered the circle of noble ladies in the imperial city, saving a lot of effort.
Du Yunniang quietly listened to Xiao Shen's constant complaints. Somehow the topic changed again, Xiao Shen couldn't help frowning and said,
"Speaking of my sister-in-law, she looks like she looks down on everyone all day."
Du Yunniang knew who she was talking about, and said: "It 's not easy for Mrs. Shen..." The current Mrs. Shen was married by Lord Shen, and like Du Yunniang, she was the successor.
However, Du Yunniang was the concubine daughter of the official's family, while the Mrs. Shen Zhang was the direct daughter of the Duke Zhongguo's mansion.
The daughter of a good daughter from the government's mansion was given a marriage to be the successor, it would be depressing for anyone. Not to mention, there is also a concubine, the Zhou shi, who is a concubine in the Shenhou mansion.
At the beginning, when Zhang's first child was born, due to the trick of Zhou concubine, she almost died. Duke Zhongguo's Mansion and Marquis Shen's Mansion have been harmonious on the surface over the years, but behind the scenes there has long been a standoff.
Du Yunniang had broken through the private affairs of the Shenhou Mansion with her own eyes, and had seen how difficult it was for the Zhang shi in the Shenhou Mansion.
The husband's family prefers concubines, and the relationship between husband and wife is once again sparse and indifferent.
but...
...
Du Yunniang smiled at Xiao Shen and joked: "Didn't you say you wanted to get along well with this sister-in-law? Why, you forgot it so soon..."
An unnatural look crossed Xiao Shen's face, her mouth Li Yan said: "It's not my fault... It's Mrs. Zhang that did too much. After my brother returned to the mansion, it was okay to be careless and gentle, she kept a cold face to brother all day long. Brother Zhou and Sister Xiao left behind by the previous sister-in-law, she did not say that she would take good care of them. Even Brother Zhou's marriage, the elder brother and the queen's sister had to worry about it..."
It was difficult for the first wife to stay. The child of Zhang Shi, where will she go to this muddy water, when the time comes, the inside and outside will be no one.
Du Yunniang knew the difficulty of being a successor.
Xiao Shen turned her head to look at Du Yunniang, her eyes were red, and her voice was a little whimpering: "You... do you think I'm wrong, I stole her marriage and made her become like this..."
"You are this What are you talking about!" Du Yunniang immediately came back to her senses, walked to Xiao Shen's side, and comforted her in a soft and soft voice:
"Why are you talking about you again? Everyone has their own fate, how can they blame you..."
These years are like living in a honey pot, which makes Xiao Shen's temperament more squeamish, and when her temper comes up, she will cry at every turn. nonstop. Du Yunniang had to admit her mistake and swear, and after some tossing, she finally coaxed Xiao Shen into a smile.
The mother and daughter, who hadn't seen each other for a while, talked, and couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
Knowing that Zhou shi was stirring up trouble in the house again recently, Mrs. Zhongguo wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "My daughter is suffering."
"Mother, don't worry about her daughter." Mrs. Zhang comforted her mother softly and said, "The hardest one days have passed, now my daughter only needs to take care of a few children. when Shen Shixing goes, it will be better or better."
Look at what the children have been forced into.
Mrs. Zhongguo's heart became more and more bitter.
She stepped forward, stroked Zhang's head, and said in a low voice, "Ying'er, you felt sad when you lost the Zhen family..."
Zhang raised her head, looked at her mother's loving face, and said "What can be snatched away is not worthy of nostalgia."
"Okay!" Mrs. Zhongguo said with admiration in her eyes: "As expected of the daughter of my Zhang family."
Mrs. Zhongguo accompanied Duke Zhong all the way. The days have gone through, and have seen many scenes of separation between life and death. Whether it is good or bad, her knowledge is no longer comparable to that of ordinary women.
Do you really think that the Zhen family is a kind-hearted family? The reputation of the noble family is just a business. When the flowers are in full bloom, of course they are very good; but once the flowers wither and fail...
If not, after several comparisons, there is really no better choice, she will not like that Zhen family.
"Ying'er."
Thinking of the secret, Mrs. Zhongguo looked at her daughter and said,
"If you endure, you will be free soon..."
