Yu Pinyan opened his eyes, reflexively hugged the warm body in his arms tighter, moved his big hands up and down, and kneaded, breathing heavily.
"Stop making trouble, it's time to go to court." Yu Xiang turned over and muttered vaguely.
"Take a rest today." Yu Pinyan smiled lowly while entering with his back turned.
Tao Hong and Liu Lu, who wanted to enter the house to wait for their master to wash up in the morning, heard the fiery moans, and had to blushed to avoid it. The two quarreled until the sun was high before getting up to greet the old lady.
"Come here and have breakfast, I've been waiting for you all morning." The old lady blamed her, but she had a doting smile on her face.
The two pleaded guilty, and after they were seated, Yu Xiang picked up a crystal shrimp dumpling and spat it out just after taking a bite, muttering, "It smells so bad, the cook must have forgotten to remove the fishy smell today."
"I'm eating as usual. I'm old and my tongue is blunt." The old lady tasted one and sighed helplessly.
"Don't eat fishy, drink porridge." Yu Pinyan served his wife a bowl of fish porridge, wiped off the sauce stained on the corners of her mouth with his fingertips, and put it in his mouth to suck.
"This one is also fishy." Yu Xiang only sniffed it a little, then turned her head away in disgust, "What's wrong with the person who handles the spoon, but is he sick? Today's craftsmanship is not as good as before!"
Yu Pinyan took a sip, but gave up if he couldn't taste the fishy smell, and asked Taohong to go to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of noodles. Because Yu Xiang likes to eat coriander, Tao Hong spread a thick layer of coriander on the chicken noodles. The milky white chicken soup exuding a strong fragrance is even more delicious with the green coriander.
After smelling it, Yu Xiang was satisfied. She picked up the chopsticks and mixed it well, put it in her mouth, and then spat it out again, "Where did you buy this coriander? Why does it smell wrong? It stinks!"
"Why? Isn't it the smell of coriander?" The old lady took a piece of coriander from her bowl and chewed it, with a very puzzled look on her face.
Yu Pinyan didn't even taste it, and just waved his hands to change the dining room. He changed four or five of Yu Xiang's favorite foods in a row, but she rejected them for one reason or another. Yu Pinyan didn't dare to delay any longer, so he immediately took out a famous post and asked his servants to invite the imperial physician.
…
"Your Madam is pregnant. It has been more than two months now. The fetus is very stable. Please rest assured." Son.
"I'm pregnant? But I got Tiankui last month." Yu Xiang rubbed her stomach in a daze.
Hearing this, Yu Pinyan immediately suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and ordered, "Prince doctor, give my wife another pulse check."
"My lord, don't worry, your wife's health is fine. Some people do have sunflower water in the first two months of pregnancy. Although they are different from ordinary people, they are not harmful to their health. I will prescribe a few anti-fetal medicines for your wife. Take a little Three days will be fine."
"Open, open, open quickly." The old lady came back to her senses at this time, and after urging the imperial doctor, she clasped her hands together and worshiped the gods and Buddhas in the sky. The grandson and grandson's daughter-in-law have been married for two years and haven't seen any good news. She is really anxious.
The imperial physician hurriedly went to the compartment to prescribe medicine. After Yu Xiang touched her belly, she suddenly jumped up and hung on her husband's body, pecking and kissing his forehead, cheeks, nose tip, etc. until his face was covered with saliva, and then she shouted happily, "I'm pregnant, I have a baby, and I'm going to be a mother."
"Yeah, I'm going to be a father too." Yu Pinyan quickly supported her buttocks and kissed her back one by one, the husband and wife were immersed in boundless joy.
The old lady shook her head with a smile, and led the servants out. When she came to the door, she said worriedly, "Put Xiang'er down quickly if you have enough hugs, so as not to fall over her."
-------------------
Human decline has always been a heart disease that the old lady can't let go of. Since the old Hou Ye and his son passed away one after another, Lin and Yu Miaoqi were exiled in Shuocheng, and Yu Siyu got married...there are only three masters left in the huge Duke Yu's mansion. On weekdays, there are groups of servants coming and going, but it is not obvious. On the night of the New Year's Eve, three people gather around a huge round table to have a reunion dinner. That scene is really called loneliness.
In the past two years, the old lady has not forgotten to add sesame oil to Guanyin, and all the picture scrolls in the granddaughter-in-law's room have been replaced with pictures of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren. Looking forward to the stars and the moon can be regarded as looking forward to the little great-great-grandson. Hearing that Yu Siyu's eldest brother-in-law had passed his 30th birthday, she didn't want to talk to her, but now she happily took her grandson-in-law out of the house.
"If you go, I will make Siyu more happy with you. She has been in the house for two years, and she hasn't seen anything yet." Sitting in the rickety carriage, the old lady's joy diminished a little.
"Didn't the doctor say that she and my uncle are in good health, maybe the fate has not yet arrived, and it will naturally come when the fate does. Look, I'm not like that." Yu Xiang stroked her belly happily.
"You are right." The old lady was happy again.
Halfway through the carriage, Yu Xiang lifted the curtain to take a look, and said, "Turn to Changning Street, I want to buy a box of rouge."
The coachman walked to Changning Street familiarly. Hearing this, Yu Pinyan, who was following the car, leaned over on the horse's head, lifted the curtain and said helplessly, "Little vinegar jar, why are you still fussing with her? This happened so many years ago. What's wrong?"
"This kind of thing needs to be considered for a lifetime. Why, are you sympathetic to the fragrance and cherish the jade?" Yu Xiang sat up halfway, puffed out her unpregnant belly, with a very aggrieved expression.
Before Yu Pinyan could speak, the old lady had already pulled her to sit down, and said softly, "Dangling in the carriage, my little ancestor hastened to sit down, so as not to fall. Your brother only loves you, how can you feel sorry for others? Right, Yan'er?" Hua Luo gave his grandson a hard look.
Yu Pinyan nodded dumbfounded, and Yu Xiang stopped. I don't know why, she has become more and more irritable these days, and she has to get angry from time to time, and she can't control it. Fortunately, both husband and mother-in-law are obedient to her.
The carriage stopped in front of a stall selling rouge and gouache on Changning Street, and Yu Xiang opened the curtain and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Hou, take a box of rouge and ask for the cheapest one."
The face of the woman standing behind the booth turned pale, red, purple, and finally black. However, no matter how upset she was, when she saw the handsome man with a cold expression not far away, she could only humble her knees, and then handed over a box of rouge.
This woman is Chang Yafu.
Because Jing Guogong also participated in the Li Wang Rebellion two years ago, he was sentenced to death, and all the old and weak women and children in the family were treated as official slaves. Because Chang Yafu was young and beautiful, she had some money, so a small business peddler fell in love with her, and bought it home for only ten taels of silver. Not only did she help her get rid of her slave status, but she also married her as his regular wife.
Chang Yafu was unwilling at first, but after seeing her younger brother who was a servant of a rich family and the mother of Sansao, she completely resigned to her fate, took care of the housework every day, took care of her husband and raised her children, and gradually got used to the humbleness and lowliness of the common people. Her eldest sister also failed to escape the catastrophe, and died of a sudden illness just after something happened in the Duke's mansion. I don't know if it was her husband's family who killed her.
The peddler happened to be surnamed Hou, so it wasn't wrong for Yu Xiang to call out Mrs. Hou. But Chang Yafu still remembered the words she used to silently demonstrate to Yu Xiang when she returned to Beijing from her hometown, and every time she thought about it, she felt ashamed and angry. Madam Hou, she almost became the real Madam Hou. If she hadn't been greedy for wealth and wealth to divert her heart, she should have married Yu Pinyan early, and with her help, the Yasukuni government would not have gone down the road of destruction.
When it was late at night and she couldn't fall asleep, she would often reflect on the past and herself. The endless remorse and regret were like poison, penetrating every nerve of her little by little. She wished she could knock herself into a fool, so as to forget the unbearable past, but every time Yu Xiang went out, she would go around to her and call Madam Hou sweetly.
That little mouth is so beautiful, but why is it so vicious
However, even though she has tens of thousands of dissatisfaction, she didn't dare to confront Yu Xiang when she was the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and she dared not now. She quickly glanced at the tall and handsome man with outstanding temperament, and then began to tidy up the stall. Today when Yu Xiang came over, the nearby stall owner wanted to talk about her past again, she couldn't bear it.
The carriage drove away, Yu Xiang suddenly felt bored, threw Rouge aside casually, and sighed, "I won't come here anymore."
"Finally figured it out?" The old lady lovingly brushed the messy hair around her cheeks.
"No, I'm going to take care of my baby at home in the future, so I don't have time to take care of her. I have the first one, will the second, third, and fourth be far away?" Yu Xiang likes to stroke her belly more and more recently, even if she doesn't care about it now Can't even touch it. It turns out that the feeling of being a mother is like this, as if a layer of seal is suddenly released in the mind, I just feel that my whole body has been promoted to another level, and my chest is filled with endless joy and anticipation.
Hearing this, the old lady hugged her and laughed. Which elder doesn't like to have many children and grandchildren, it's a great thing for a grandson's daughter-in-law to have this awareness.
-----------------
Yu Siyu's husband, Shao Xuanze, was originally a fourth-rank General Yunhui. During the Li Wang Rebellion, he stuck to his principles and stood on the prince's side. Yu Pinyan, the commander of the Linwei Capital, was able to get along like a fish in water in the court.
However, his elder brother Shao Xuanhui made a mistake and got the fifth prince to win him over. When the Yu family's family was imprisoned, he even persuaded him to repent and remarry. In the end, the fifth prince was taken away from the prince and became an idle clan. The elder brother's family was not in a good place, and his fame was almost cut off. In the past two years, with the help of his younger brother, he gradually improved. The Shaoqing of Lusi Temple.
In order to broaden his contacts, and to make Shangfeng realize how strong his backer is, Shao Xuanhui repeatedly begged his younger brother to invite Duke Yu. This matter finally fell on Yu Siyu's head. Yu Siyu knew her elder brother's dislike of socializing very well, so she only let the old lady know and didn't force her.
So when she bumped into her brother who had turned over and got off the horse at the door, her eyes widened in astonishment, "Brother, why are you here?"
"Let's relax with Xiang'er." Yu Pinyan said as he carefully carried his wife out of the car. The old lady stood on the shaft of the car, bent over to support her grandson-in-law, and told her grandson to be careful not to bump into him.
These two pampered Yu Xiang to the point of mutual anger. Although it was a little exaggerated today, Yu Siyu didn't think too much, and stepped forward to help her sister-in-law.
"Why did you bring them here too?" Seeing the beautiful woman in pink and the young man in white standing behind Yu Siyu, Yu Xiang frowned fiercely, causing the beautiful woman to hide her face in panic and helplessness, while the young man Not to be outdone, he stared back.
Yu Siyu pursed her lips, pointed to her husband who was chatting with her elder brother, and said in a low voice, "He asked me to bring them to see the world, saying that they are the benefactor's sons after all, so they shouldn't be treated harshly."
In the first year, Yu Siyu had a very happy life, thinking that she was married to a loving and righteous man. I don't know that it is not a good thing for a lover to be too affectionate and righteous. The greedy, mean and ungrateful uncle doesn't have a long memory no matter how deeply he hurts him. All of my parents-in-law have died, and I don't know what it will be like to be dragged down.
Last year he was appointed by the emperor to go to Xishan to suppress the bandits, and when he came back, he brought a beautiful young girl and a young man, who he said were the sons and daughters of his lieutenant general Li Fangguo. Li Fangguo died to save him and entrusted a pair of children to him before his death. Yu Siyu originally planned to buy a dowry to marry the girl off, and then show the young man a good relationship, but who knew that the other party had a big heart, and the girl took advantage of her husband's drunkenness to have a skin-to-skin relationship with him, and the young man made it happen To attract Yu Siyu to see.
Yu Siyu hurried to catch him, and almost vomited blood, so he wanted to drive them out no matter what. The next day, the girl knelt at the gate of Shao's mansion and refused to get up. The young man pointed at the plaque on the gate and scolded Shao Xuanze for losing his virtue after drinking. Yu Siyu had no choice but to take the girl in as a concubine. I thought that my husband suffered a disadvantage, so I could at least have a longer memory, but I didn't know that the siblings only had to pretend to be weak and lonely to win him over again, which made Yu Siyu miserable.
The Yu family never liked to suffer, but they didn't expect to suffer such a big loss in the end, and there was no way to explain it. Therefore, when the old lady and Yu Xiang saw these two people, they felt that they were in conflict, and they dragged Yu Siyu straight in, leaving them on the spot.
The beautiful woman looked at Shao Xuanze with twinkling tears, and met Yu Pinyan's bottomless eyes. She was startled in her heart, and hurriedly took small steps, pulling the boy with an angry expression on her face. The younger brother went in.
A stage was set up in the yard, and the male and female guests were separated by several carved screens, drinking tea and listening to the opera around a round table. The old lady saw that the daughter-in-law was about to toast and drink, so she quickly stopped drinking in a low voice, and saw that she was staring at the plate of pastries on the other side of the table, and she seemed to be salivating, so she got up cheeky and went around half the table to help her get it.
"Eat slowly, and be careful of choking. Hey, don't drink the tea on the table, drink the ginseng tea I brought. In late autumn, go to the carriage and get the food box I prepared in advance." The old lady patted the granddaughter-in-law on the back, Helping her wipe the pastry crumbs from the corner of her mouth.
"Old Madam, are you serving your granddaughter-in-law or your little ancestor?" a lady teased.
"Xiang'er is pregnant, isn't she the little ancestor of my Yu Mansion." The old lady's words were not without showing off.
"Madam is pregnant? What a joy to congratulate! I don't know when my brother and sister will have good news?" Shao Xuanhui's wife, Wu Shi, had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of sarcasm. She was originally the elder sister-in-law, but in the past two years because of her husband's official career, she had to lie low in front of Yu Siyu, and her heart was already full of humiliation and jealousy. Although she couldn't openly oppose Yu Siyu, she liked to stab her from time to time.
Speaking of this, Yu Siyu couldn't help feeling sad, and subconsciously touched his stomach. Just at this moment, Li Shi who was standing behind her suddenly turned her head and bent over to retch, her thick eyelashes were covered with tears, and she looked very cute. The theater troupe was changing scenes, and the sound of gongs and drums stopped for a short while, so the noise from her side was particularly noticeable.
Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "Sister and brother, don't you have one? I'll send someone to find a doctor for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Siyu suddenly turned her head and looked at Mrs. Li with cold eyes. Yu Xiang said with a slow smile, "Is it true that Siyu will check after she goes back? It's really not particular that you recruited the doctor in the door on the day of great joy. Besides, she is a concubine, how can she be worthy?" Deserving the title of 'brother and sister', my wife is willing to be lowly and don't bring us Siyu down."
After saying that, she patted Yu Siyu's clenched hand lightly. Yu Siyu quickly calmed down, didn't say anything, just glanced at Wu Shi with a half-smile.
Because the male and female guests are only separated by a few screens, they can easily hear what they say on the other end, let alone when the gongs and drums are resting. Shao Xuanhui and Shao Xuanze nodded in embarrassment to Yu Pinyan, who was expressionless, and Li's younger brother was very angry, and he couldn't help showing some resentment.
Yu Pinyan picked up the wine glass and poured himself a drink, and sent people over from time to time to tell his wife not to be picky about food. Shao Xuanze was originally in his old department, but there was a gap because of the incident of taking a concubine a year ago, the relationship is no longer what it used to be, and now they sit facing each other in silence. Seeing the stagnant atmosphere at the main table, the bystanders all shook their heads and sighed secretly that the Shao family brothers would not be good at life, one was too indecisive, the other was too greedy, and sooner or later they would drift away from the Yu family.
While thinking about it, a colorful Huadan came out on the stage, holding a golden bottle in his hand, and babbled and sang about the drunken concubine. She walked to the side of the stage with graceful and swaying steps, and cast her bewitching and bewildered eyes on the handsome young man on the main table.
Such an obvious move, not to mention the jealous Yu Xiang, even others have noticed the clue. The old lady quickly pressed her grandson's daughter-in-law's shoulders, and whispered, "Steady, don't lose your temper, you are double now."
Yu Xiang touched the baby in her stomach and had to hold back. Yu Siyu also forgot to argue with Li Shi, and sent people to inquire about Huadan's background.
Smiling, Wu took a sip from her teacup and said, "There's no need to inquire, she is Huadan Xianluo who has gained fame recently."
"The Xianluo that the Sixth Prince did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to bring in?" Yu Xiang raised her eyebrows, and said slowly, "This name is really euphemistic, Xianluo Xianluo, why not just call it Xiaoluo?"
Yu Siyu almost spit out a sip of tea, and Yu Pinyan on the other end finally showed his first smile of the day, his deep eyes filled with deep affection.
Hua Dan on the stage was stunned by his affectionate eyes, paused for a while before starting the next line of libretto, and bent her lips at him when she turned around.
Li Shi's younger brother finally couldn't hold back anymore, pointed at her and smiled, "I look familiar to her, but she looks like a person."
No one responded at the table, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Shao Xuanze smoothed things over because he was the son of his benefactor, "Oh, who do you look like?"
"Like Mrs. Yu Guogong, if you wash off the heavy color on your face, you must be as beautiful as your wife."
Comparing a humble actor with the majestic Mrs. Guo, and even in front of Yu Pinyan, is Mr. Li crazy? But whoever has stayed in the capital for a long time, who doesn't know that Yu Pinyan loves his wife like his own life. The guests who were chatting or laughing seemed to have been acupointed, and they all fell silent. Shao Xuanze, who took the conversation, turned red even more, and looked at Yu Pinyan anxiously.
Yu Pinyan's face was covered with a layer of frost, he put down his wine glass with a bang, got up and left, turned his head before the screen and said, "General Shao, I forgot to tell you, there is a rule in my Yu family - men are not allowed to take concubines. You married Siyu is from my Shao family, if you don't obey the rules, I, Yu Pinyan, can dispose of you. Farewell."
Yu Xiang and the old lady at the other end tugged Yu Siyu who was completely stunned.
If there is no example like her elder brother, Yu Siyu can still force herself to accept her fate, but she becomes dissatisfied with the comparison. She is most grateful to Shao Xuanze. If she really wants to talk about love, it is far from the point where he is the only one. In addition, in recent years, the Li brothers and sisters have frequently plotted against him, and she has had a big quarrel with Shao Xuanze for three to five days. That gratitude has long since faded away It was all gone, leaving only exhaustion all over the body.
She drank the spirits she had at hand and said flatly, "Let's go, go home, go back to Yu's house."
Wu's heart is not good, and when he wanted to stop him, he was separated by the guards of the Yu Mansion, so he could only watch helplessly as the group walked away. Without the incomparably tough backing of Duke Yu, with his uncle's dull character, he would be pushed aside by his colleagues sooner or later.
Only now did she understand that Yu Siyu was not only her younger brother and sister, but also the pillar of the Shao family. As the saying goes, when the wall falls and everyone pushes her away, the Shao family will be in danger of collapsing at any moment.
Li Shi was secretly happy in her heart, but there was a bit of grievance on her face, she lowered her head and wiped her tears. Regardless of whether the occasion was right or not, Wu slapped the table and cursed angrily, "Why are you crying? It's all because of your brother! Uncle, don't hurry up and go to the Duke's mansion to plead guilty!"
Only then did Shao Xuanze recover from his daze, and rushed to catch up. Shao Xuanhui saw off the guests in extreme embarrassment, and when he turned back to look at the Li siblings, his eyes were filled with a sinister murderous intent.
Mr. Li was originally angry for a while, but when he woke up and knew that he had caused a catastrophe, he was trembling with fright. In order to appease Duke Yu, there are currently two paths before the Shao family: one, to reconcile with Yu Siyu simply; two, get rid of himself and his sister...
One sentence caused a fatal disaster, even if Mr. Li regretted that his intestines were green, it would not help.
Yu Siyu settled down for a few days after returning home, and felt that if she wanted to find a perfect husband like her brother again, it would be hopeless in this life. However, she is a high-spirited person, coupled with the fact that she has been with Yu Xiang for a long time, she would rather let go than go back and compromise. Without Mrs. Li, there will be Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Sun... Her whole life was wasted fighting with women, how boring and ridiculous.
She didn't let Shao Xuanze deal with the Li brothers and sisters, but instead signed the reconciliation agreement. After returning home, Shao Xuan suffered from a serious illness. After recovering from his illness and returning to work, he realized that he was going up and down. He was transferred by Shangfeng to the most remote and desolate Beirong to garrison. He would never return to Beijing in this life. He took Li's siblings with him. On the way, Li couldn't bear the hard work and had a miscarriage. Mr. Li knew that Beirong was a barren land. He didn't talk about the future when he went, and he was afraid that his life would die, so he ran away at night. up.
In the end, Yu Siyu remarried to someone else to make a sequel. Coincidentally, the other party was the little boss Yu Xiang fell in love with when she first announced her marriage.
For the rest of her life, Yu Siyu had a very comfortable life. She had to admit that her sister-in-law would judge people.
The author has something to say: I moved to a new house, and it took three or four days to finally get it right, so the episode is a bit late, sorry.
