Luo Huaiyuan lived alone this year.
In fact, he is not alone, and Xiao Anzi is with him.
The palace did not intend to call him back to the palace, so he had the right to assume that there was no such thing. In fact, what can I do even if I go back to the palace, Zuo is still alone, at most he is accompanied by his mother. Since he was seven years old, he lost his ugliness at the palace banquet, and since then, the fourth prince has no qualifications to participate in the large and small banquets in the palace.
After Luo Huaiyuan moved out of the palace, he no longer had contact with his mother's concubine. On the twenty-eighth day, a little eunuch came to the palace and gave Luo Huaiyuan a package. Luo Huaiyuan opened it and saw that there were several pieces of clothes, several pieces of gold jewelry, and several silver ingots.
That little eunuch was served by Ma Concubine, and his name was Xiaodouzi. Xiaodouzi said that Empress Ma had asked him to talk, that she was fine in the palace, so that the fourth prince would not have to worry, and said that outside the palace was different in the palace, fearing that the fourth prince would not be able to make money together, so he chose a few pieces of sufficient weight. When he brought out the jewelry, he really ran out of money, so he took scissors and twisted it for money.
Her mother has always been cautious and careful, and would not take the initiative to contact him when there is nothing on weekdays. This time, it is estimated that he was really afraid that he would suffer a crime when he just left the palace, and only let the eunuch beside him come out by giving his son two clothes during the Chinese New Year.
Luo Huaiyuan didn't say anything at the time, turned his head back to the house with his things in his arms, and handed Xiaodouzi a burden when he came out again. Jewelry and silver are in it, and there is an extra piece of clothes worn by women. The clothes are brand new, and the fabrics are not that good, but they are not bad. It is in line with the status of a concubine and can be worn as household clothes.
When Xiaodouzi was about to leave, Luo Huaiyuan told him that he should go back and tell his mother, he didn't know the exact size, and if the skirt was too short, let her mother go back and put the skirt on by herself.
The skirt was made by Luo Huaiyuan a long time ago, and there were a few silver notes stuffed into the skirt's piping, all of which were small, totaling one thousand taels of silver.
On the 30th day, Luo Huaiyuan put on the new clothes that his maids made for him. Who knew that he couldn't wear them when he put them on. During this period of time outside the palace, he had gained weight again, but his mother didn't know it.
In the afternoon, Luo Huaiyuan ordered Director Xi to instruct the kitchen to prepare a table for the whole house. The servants and guards of the Minions Palace gathered everywhere to join in the fun, while he was eating with Xiao Anzi in the room.
The table is very rich, especially Luo Huaiyuan's table, which is extravagant. Luo Huaiyuan also pressed Xiao Anzi to accompany him to drink two glasses, delicious wine and delicious food, refreshing!
After several lifetimes of Spring Festival alone, Luo Huaiyuan didn't know what loneliness was.
…
Nowadays, there is a rule for married girls to go back to their parents' home on the second day of the new year, so Shen Yiyao was ready to go. Even if every time I go back these days, I have been closed, and my parents have not seen her, but this is the New Year, so I can't keep her out.
Because of so many thoughts, Shen Yiyao's face still had a bit of joy on his second day.
Originally, Yan Yan and Yan Mo were also going to the Duke’s Mansion together. Who knew that Yan Mo had a cold one day and felt a little uncomfortable. Shen Yiyao couldn’t get away. Yan Yan asked to take care of her younger brother at home, so the two siblings Neither went.
Yan Yan always felt that her brother's so-called 'uncomfortable' was a bit false, and as expected, after Shen Yiyao left, he was 'good'.
"You don't want to go to Grandpa's house?"
Yan Mo's small eyes were light, "What are you going to do? I don't want to see people look angry and angry."
No matter what, that mother is still his mother, even if she plans to stay out of it, she will always feel uncomfortable when she sees it.
Yan Yan was silent.
When Yan Mo said this, Qin's mother was there, and she still didn't understand the inside.
It didn't take long for her to understand.
Shen Yiyao came back crying, the New Year's solar term and the self-sufficiency of the ladies couldn't stop her tears.
After a while, the news came.
The nephew of a woman who was burning a fire in the Ningxiang Pavilion was a groom in the carriage shed, so the news was not difficult to find out.
It is said that Shen Yiyao and his wife once again ate behind closed doors in the town of Guogong, and they were also left in the tiger's hall on the second day of the first day. This time, Shen Yiyao was no longer in self-control, and made a lot of trouble in the Tiger Hall.
This is the news of the little servant following the car. The 'big trouble' is still his own speculation based on the situation. Yan Yan asked Mei Xue to visit Jinseyuan to ask Cuiqiao, and restored the true nature of the matter from Cuiqiao's mouth.
Shen Yiyao was originally looking forward to returning to her parents' home, but was led to the tiger's house as usual. The servants were very respectful and enthusiastic, but she still hadn't seen her family.
This made Shen Yiyao unbearable any longer, and when he was in the Tiger Hall, Yan Ting did not persuade him to stop him. Finally, Mrs. Shen came forward, looking embarrassed and said something.
The general meaning is that the Duke of Zhenguo is getting older, and now his temper is getting worse and worse, and now no one in the family can persuade him and so on.
In the huge mansion of Duke Zhenguo, Shen Maoshan, Duke Zhenguo, is a hall of words. It is true on the surface, but it is impossible to see how this matter is on the surface.
All in all, Yan Ting brought Shen Yiyao back.
Shen Yiyao was heartbroken, and Yan Ting's face was not good-looking.
It was supposed to be a joyous solar term, but Weiyuan Hou's mansion was covered with a lingering haze.
So that during the New Year's Day, everyone's smiles were forced a little, and when Shen Yiyao went to Rong'an Hall again, she was a little more embarrassed.
***
Even if she understood that she was requesting the Duke of Zhenguo at this moment, the old lady couldn't have a good look on her face.
No one wants to see their son pretending to be a grandson all day long, especially the grandson who has been pretending to be a grandson for so long is still ineffective, and people who are a big New Year's Eve are turned away, and it will make people laugh out loud.
She felt distressed because she was born. The old lady had been treating Shen Yiyao as badly as before, and this incident made her face even more ugly, and her words inevitably revealed some dissatisfaction.
The old lady felt that she was a mother-in-law, and sometimes it was very aggrieved. The mothers-in-law of other families set rules for their daughters-in-law, but she came to her. Except for the eldest daughter-in-law who had set rules here for a period of time, Shen Yiyao entered the door back then. The whole family could not wait to offer her up, and when the third daughter-in-law entered the door, the two sons were both biological, and they could not favor one over the other, so the third daughter-in-law was also exempted.
Nowadays, the old lady feels that it is nothing to beat her daughter-in-law with her words. So, in front of Shen Yiyao, she said some words that the Duke of Zhenguo would not give them face to the Yan family.
This is indeed the case. Generally, no matter how the father-in-law has an opinion on his daughter and son-in-law, he has to be concerned about the face of each other. Who would have thought that Duke Zhen Guo, an old man, would be so stubborn, and completely ignored Weiyuan Houfu.
But then again, what kind of face does Weiyuan Houfu have to give? Why should the Duke of Zhenguo give you face
This is not the first time the old lady has said this, because she said it in a soft voice, in order to pamper her daughter-in-law, but this time she was a little more resentful. However, Shen Yiyao had been restless during this period of time. She had just left her parents' house a few days ago, and before she recovered, she followed her mother-in-law to say these words again.
For the first time, she didn't hold back her temper, and with a stiff face, she resigned.
After returning, he became ill.
***
"Look, look, what kind of a daughter-in-law are you marrying! I just said a few words to her, and she actually slapped me, and she's still pretending to be sick! Since she got married, I'm a mother-in-law. Isn't it good enough for her? She has never been asked to set any rules, and she usually asks for help, but only needs to provide..."
"...Those who understand know that I am her mother-in-law, and those who don't understand, think she is my mother-in-law! I feel sorry for my son, is it wrong? Even if they are domineering, they can't step on the ground... "
Yan Ting sat aside, frowning, but did not speak.
The old lady talked for a while, and peeked at her son's expression.
"Okay, don't worry about it. It's a big deal, it's a big deal, my mother will stay for a while to see her."
Yan Ting reassured and said, "You are her mother-in-law. If you don't have this reasoning, she is wrong."
"But—" the old lady hesitated.
Yan Ting stood up, "Mother, I'm going back to Jinseyuan, where she—" After a while, he said, "Don't pay attention to her!"
…
Yan Ting returned to Jinseyuan, and the main room was quiet.
The maids went in and out lightly, and when Yan Ting came in, they squatted down and greeted him.
Entering the bedroom, Shen Yiyao was leaning against the head of the bed with her hair loose, and the maid waited for the medicine. After drinking a bowl of medicine, a maid brought water and a saliva bowl, let Shen Yiyao rinse her mouth, and tucked the quilt on top of her.
"Husband, why did you come back so early today?"
In the past few days, Yan Ting was so busy that he didn't know what he was doing. He always left early and returned late. Shen Yiyao never asked Yan Ting about outside affairs, only knew that he was busy.
"Didn't I hear that you were sick, so I went back."
In fact, the old lady had finished training her daughter-in-law on the front foot, and after hearing that Jinseyuan had invited a doctor, she asked the servant to call her son back. As soon as Yan Ting returned to the house, he was called to Rong'an Hall, and the old lady came up to complain about grievances. Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been natural enemies, no matter how kind Shen Yiyao feels, the old lady is afraid that she will sue in front of her son.
Complaining about this, it is natural to make the first move.
Yan Ting's voice was a little weird, but Shen Yiyao didn't seem to notice it.
"The concubine's body is not serious, but it is a little cold when I wake up in the morning."
Yan Ting glanced at her strangely and said, "Then take a good rest, mother, I'm very worried about your illness. I still have something to do, so I'll go to the study first."
After Yan Ting left, Shen Yiyao was silent for a long time before laying back on the quilt.
She was in a trance, seemingly awake but not awake, Shen Yiyao felt that she had not slept at all, she was suddenly startled, opened her eyes, stared in a daze, and heard someone talking in her ear.
"...Didn't you say it's okay? Why is it serious again!"
She tried to stand up, but felt sore all over. I wanted to speak, but my throat was so dry that I couldn't make a sound, and my head hurt badly.
"The madam was really fine at the beginning. The doctor also came to see it and prescribed two medicines. After taking the medicine, the madam fell asleep. Just now, the slave came to look at it, but who knew that the fever had actually started." The voice was Cui Qiao.
"Where's my father?"
"Master Hou is not here." Cui Qiao's voice was faintly choked, "The servants really can't do anything, so I asked someone to call the girl. In the middle of the night, the second door was locked, and the servants asked the janitor to open the door. Zi said that there are rules in the house, and these two doors cannot be opened without a word from Rong'an Hall. When I went to Rong'an Hall, the lights were already turned off. The servant went to ask for an appointment. A little girl said that what Mama Zhao said did not dare to disturb the old lady. …”
"As the maidservant beside Mrs. Weiyuan Hou, you can't even open one or two doors. What do you want you to do!"
"Sister, what do you think she's doing, she just came to work not long ago, what's so moving." A soft voice sounded, it was Yan Mo.
"Mother Zou, you go to Rong'an Tang with her. You can't call the old lady, but Mama Zhao always calls, and asks her to take the key and open the second door to ask for a doctor. I said it. Mother Dong, you bring two people. Go to the woman in charge of the second door, whoever said she couldn't open the door, gave me a big ear scratching and slapped it hard, and it broke my burden..."
There was a sound of response, and then Xixi and Suosuo dispersed.
Shen Yiyao wanted to say something, but she couldn't raise her spirits, so she could only groggy and fell into darkness.
