The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 137

? Yan Ting, who was sitting in the carriage, looked sad and happy, and an inexplicable feeling touched his heart. He buried his face in the palm of his hand and let out a howl like a wounded beast.

In fact, Yan Ting could have imagined the condition of his family. With his death, the family was torn apart. But imagination and seeing with his own eyes are two different things. To reproduce the glory of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, so that it can last for generations, has been Yan Ting’s obsession since he was a child.

This obsession as early as when he was just a child, his father held his hand, pointed to the huge golden plaque and said, “Daddy’s body is not good, so he will rely on you in the future, so he buried him deeply.” The deepest part of my heart. After more than 20 years of hard work, after a busy time, he still lost it…

After a long time, Xu Xiangrong on the side looked at the other side’s profile, and saw that his expression finally returned to calm, and then the coachman drove the carriage away from here.

Seeing that he was looking at him, Yan Ting raised his face blankly and said, “Don’t worry, I am not a fool, knowing that I am a ‘dead’ now.”

As he raised his head, a scar on Yan Ting’s left face was revealed. This scar extends from the corner of his left eye to under his left ear. If you only look at the right face, Yan Ting is a handsome man in addition to looking tired and weak. But if viewed from the left, it is as hideous and scary as a Yasha.

Yan Ting fell off the cliff that day, and he had a mortal heart. However, he woke up again but was rescued. At that time, he was seriously injured, with multiple bone wounds all over his body, and his leg was broken. The whole person is in chaos and I don’t know what the night is. I was a little more sober, only to find that Xu Xiangrong was the one who saved me.

Why are you saving me?

At that time, Yan Ting really wanted to die. The reason why he would jump off the cliff on his own was because he knew that Shen Ding would definitely not let him go. After working hard for so many years, it turned out to be vain, and even overthrew all what I did, thought, and thought. It’s like I’m just a joke, a complete joke. He claims to be clever and unparalleled, but he is actually a jumping clown.

Yan Ting didn’t want to live, he felt that his existence didn’t have any meaning or value. He didn’t eat and didn’t cooperate in healing the wounds until Xu Xiangrong told him the current situation of Weiyuanhou’s Mansion.

“Don’t you think your appearance is very ridiculous now? A dignified man is so unbearable like a maiden. If it is a man, stand up, go back and take a good look. Then hide the accumulation until one day you will lose it. All of them are back…”

The injuries on Yan Ting’s body were so severe that he waited to be raised to the point where he could ride a carriage, but the plaque had already been removed from the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, and people went to the building empty.

…

“Your younger brother and your mother live in Hengshui Hutong, do you want to visit?”

Yan Ting was taken aback for a moment and shook his head: “No, why go and see if you can’t see each other.” After a pause, he said with a complicated expression: “Thank you.”

Xu Xiangrong did not speak, just smiled.

Following the wedding of the three princes, one month later, the fifth prince Luo Jing also got married.

The person whom the three princes married was chosen by the concubine Xu, who was the daughter of the Lin family. The Lin family is a Zanying family, the head of the family, although the three princes and concubines are just the niece of a sideline of Prime Minister Lin. However, Xu Guifei was well-intentioned to establish a relationship with the civil servants.

Yan Yan had met the three princes and concubines Lin, who was timid, submissive and weak. Walking by the sturdy three princes always makes people feel unbearable, like a beast with a little rabbit.

The fifth prince and concubine were the daughters of the descendants of the Xiao family. They were the niece of the same family and the niece of the same clan of Queen Xiao. They were rationed to the fifth prince under the name of the second family of the Xiao family.

After the prince got married, the next day was to go to Fengqi Palace to visit Emperor Xi and Empress Xiao. At the same time, all the princes and princes and concubines were present at the same time, and they were regarded as meeting relatives in the family.

The last time the three princes were married, Yan Yan and Luo Huaiyuan went back to the palace, and this time the fifth princes were also married.

The five princes and concubines are quite dignified and majestic, and she is truly a daughter from the Xiao family. The couple stepped forward to worship Emperor Xi and Empress Xiao one by one, and were rewarded with tea. With a decent smile, Empress Xiao said something about being a wife to the Xiao family.

After that, I saw all my elder brothers and sisters-in-laws. The five princes couldn’t speak, so they just stood beside the Xiao family and saw her and others. When Yan Yan put her gift in the hands of the five princes and concubines, she saw the arc of her man’s mouth seemingly mocking.

When the matter was over, all the princes and their princes and concubines separated, Yan Yan and Luo Huaiyuan were about to leave the palace.

Getting into the car, Yan Yan said: “You just looked at the fifth siblings, why did you laugh so strangely?”

Luo Huaiyuan’s eyes flashed, and he asked in doubt: “Is there? I seemed to be strayed just now, you must be mistaken.”

Yan Yan is noncommittal.

She naturally didn’t understand Luo Huaiyuan’s mood at this time. Whenever she saw an old friend from the previous life, Luo Huaiyuan would inevitably think about it again.

In the past life of Yao Ji, the old fifth has been extremely honest, even after he went to the domain, he has always been a good baby of Sanhao brand. It’s a pity that Luo Jin’s servant was cruel, and even the fifth elder who had a disability did not let go, and the fifth prince Luo Jing died in the end. Although Luo Jin led him, he died in the hands of this Xiao family.

Because of this, Luo Huaiyuan saw that Xiao’s expression was a little abnormal, but these things couldn’t be said to Yan Yan.

Luo Huaiyuan suddenly felt unconscious, and unconsciously showed a dull look.

Some things have changed in the previous life, but some things and people have returned to their place one by one. Is this still the same ending as in the previous life?

No matter what, for him and Ah Yan, he also has to make a good plan.

With the first marriage of the third prince and the fifth prince, the second prince Luo Jin has no excuse to stay in the capital.

The Ministry of Rites issued the title and fief of the second prince, and the second prince was given the title of king of Jin and the fief of Jinzhou. Jinju is a land of fish and rice, and it has always been rich. It has to be said that Emperor Xi was quite partial to the second prince.

After the title and fief came down, it was the king of Jin who chose a day to leave Beijing to feudal clan. During this period, after another month’s delay, it was already in July when King Jin left Beijing.

After that, the titles and fiefdoms of the three princes were drafted. After the second princes left Beijing to be feudal, Emperor Xi seemed to have taken care of the arrangements of the princes. Not only the titles and fiefs of the three princes were drawn up, but the titles and fiefs of the fourth prince Luo Huaiyuan were also released.

The three princes were made king of Qi, and the land of Qizhou.

Luo Huaiyuan, like his previous life, was named the King of Cloud and the land of Yunzhou.

It seems that they have all been made kings, but from their fiefdoms, you can see the status of several princes in the eyes of Emperor Xi. Qizhou, like Jinzhou, is a land of fish and rice. It has always been rich and not far from Beijing. But when he arrived at Luo Huaiyuan, he plunged into the water all of a sudden. Not only did he go to the cold north, but Yunzhou also belonged to a slightly better boundary than a bird without shit.

However, with the experience of the previous life, Luo Huaiyuan was not surprised. He knew that there was someone more unlucky than him. The fief of the Fifth Prince in his previous life was more remote than his, and it was notoriously a land of bitter cold.

The third prince soon went out of Beijing to become a domain. After all, he was too old, and he gave the crowning ceremony this spring. Xu Guifei delayed several times, but failed to keep her ancestor’s rules low. In this regard, these days Empress Xiao’s line is not less secretly proud.

Luo Huaiyuan’s crowning ceremony was just three months later, and it was time to give the crowning ceremony, and it was also necessary to leave Beijing to join the feudal clan, which means that they could stay in Beijing for three months.

Therefore, Luo Huaiyuan and his wife started to prepare early. All the businesses that can be collected here in the capital are collected, and those that cannot be collected are entrusted to the care of people who can rest assured.

Most of Yan Yan’s dowry Zhuangzi and shop were in the capital, so she gave them all to her mother, and Shen Yiyao was able to take care of it.

Yan Yan also asked Shen Yiyao and Yan Mo if they would go to Yunzhou with them, but Shen Yiyao refused. Firstly, the road to Yunzhou is far away, secondly, Yan Mo has to continue studying, and thirdly, Shen Yiyao feels that after so many years, she has made her parents and sister-in-law **** a lot of her own heart, and she wants to stay and do some filial piety.

Yan Yan did not raise any objections. She had heard Luo Huaiyuan say that the climate in Yunzhou is not as suitable as that of Beijing. In addition, grandparents and grandmothers are getting old, and they can’t be filial piety by their side. It is okay to leave mother to be filial piety by their side.

During this period, the Xue family found a marriage for the fifth girl, Yan Chan, in one fell swoop, with little wealth in the family. After reading it, Shen Yiyao thought it was pretty good, and after asking Yan Chan’s opinion, she decided on the marriage.

This marriage was not the best in the past, but now the Weiyuan Hou Mansion no longer exists, and Yan Chan is the prostitute of a deceased father and mother. It is the Xue family who can marry into such a family.

The wedding date was set for October, and Yan Yan was naturally not in Beijing at that time, but she didn’t have much friendship with this concubine, so she gave the gift to Shen Yiyao, it’s good time to let her go with her.

Not long after the big house was settled down, after Yan Zhi obtained Luo Huaiyuan’s consent, he set off for Fuzhou alone. His plan is to pass by himself first, and then pick up the whole family after he has a firm foothold. Xue is naturally reluctant to give up, but the man is determined to be everywhere, and finally has a chance, naturally he wants to fight.

Xue is a good person, and he is not the kind of person who is sad. After Yan Zhi left, he lived his life behind closed doors, kept the small house in order, and urged his two sons to study hard. In his spare time, at most, he would come to the town government office to talk to Shen Yiyao.

After moving back to the town government office, Shen Yiyao’s life was quite leisurely.

Yan Mo is a worry-free child, and his grandfather and uncle watched him, so she didn’t have to worry about it. At first, she was still twisting herself with mourning, and she did not dare to take a half step out of Jingyuan. After a long time, no one in the Shen family paid attention to these things, but they gradually left them behind.

In my spare time, I talk to my mother and chat with my sister-in-law. Making a needle and thread or drawing a leaf card together seems to be back to the happy time when I was in the boudoir.

The days went well, and her complexion improved. Now Shen Yiyao’s face is radiant. If it weren’t for the appearance of her body when she was not walking outside, people would definitely not believe that she was a new widow.

During this period, Liu Shuyi also got married, and she married Chu Mingchen, who had been enemies with her since childhood. Yan Yan had known that the two had made a marriage when they were very young, but she didn’t expect that it took so long to get married. There are naturally entanglements between them, but fortunately the result is good.

Naturally, she couldn’t come to celebrate when she was dead. The only friend who got married could not be there by herself. Yan Yan could only collect many rare things and put makeup on Liu Shuyi, and Shen Yiyao also went with a large gift.

It seemed that everything went well. After leaving the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, I realized that life can be changed in a different way. Yan Yan had already experienced it, but Shen Yiyao was like a person who closed her eyes for a long time, suddenly opened her eyes and saw the beautiful world outside.

Everyone knew the whereabouts of the people in Sanfang, but they didn’t know whether they were intentionally or unintentionally. Everyone deliberately forgot about them.

So, how are the people in Sanfang?

Hengshui Hutong is located in the outer city, the location is not considered remote, and the surrounding people live in the homes of small officials or scholars, so the environment is also considered simple.

The reason why the Chen family sold this house at the beginning was because the environment here was not mixed.

On the same day, the Chen family moved away from the Weiyuan Hou Mansion. Because of the limited space of the house and the desire to put some money in his hands, the Chen family sold the subordinates in the mansion for seven or eighty days, leaving only a few subordinates.

In the two-entry yard, the old lady lives in the second-entry main house. In the east side is the sixth girl, Yan Xia, and the seventh girl, Yan Juan, and in the west side, Aunt Lan and the fifth young master live. The first entrance to the main room is where the Chen family and Yan Qu live, the east side where Aunt Cui and the sixth master live, and the west side is where Yan Hong lives.

The little one entered the yard and was crowded.

Naturally, it can’t be compared with the time when I was still in Weiyuanhou. At that time, no one lived alone in a huge yard, and there were maidservants who served from bed to bed. Now that I came here, not only was it crowded, but the people around me were also evacuated.

The old lady left a mother Zhao and a little girl named Xiao Miao. Because the sixth girl and the seventh girl were born to the Chen family, they were treated better than the others. They were surrounded by a woman and two little girls. The other ones are also the fifth young master and sixth young master with a girl beside them. Yan Hong is now older and a man again, but he relies on himself to get up and down on weekdays. Chen’s mother and a little girl were left beside the wife. Because the third master had to go out everyday, the two little servants were left behind. When nothing happened, the two little servants had to change the door. .

Today is different from the past. In the past, people were assigned to perform their duties, but this condition is missing. In addition to serving their respective masters, they also have to do some chores in the house. For example, there is no special cooking lady in the stove, so everyone needs to go to the stove instead to cook, and for example, sweep the yard and wash the clothes and bedding of the masters.

Not only are the masters of this size frustrated, but so are the servants. It’s just that those who are a little capable are self-foreclosure or put their face in front of the master. Those who are left are those who are incapable or have nowhere to go. No matter how difficult the life is, they have to go down.

The most eye-catching is the Tian family, that is, Aunt Cui’s natal family.

Before the steward Tian begged San Ye to release his family, San Ye looked at the face of Aunt Cui and the Sixth Master and didn’t make much trouble. Therefore, even if Chen’s eyes turned straight with anger, he couldn’t stop it.

All of the Tian family left the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, and no one knew where they had gone. Until Sanfang settled down here in Hengshui Hutong, it didn’t take long for the Tian family to drive to the door to visit.

It turned out that the Tian family had been working in Weiyuanhou’s residence for a lifetime, and they had some savings to some extent. After being released, Steward Tian set up a shop, and his family lived on the shop’s business, but they were also happy.

Of course, this is just a superficial rhetoric. As for whether the Uri-Tian family was holding money when they were on a job in the Yan family, or the savings they saved, no one can tell. All I know is that the Tian family’s appearance is extremely glamorous, and Tian’s wife who usually dresses plainly wears gold and silver, and a little girl waits by her side. Steward Tian won’t mention it, Aunt Cui’s two brothers and the brother-in-law are also new, and they look like dogs.

To fall into the eyes of others is one’s gaze, fall into the eyes of the Chen family to look like a dog!

Really thought you would become a master if you changed your skin? But it is true, at least people’s lives seem to be much more moist than Sanfang.

No, it’s time to show Aunt Cui.

Aunt Cui’s eyes narrowed, and she waved her handkerchief for several days, standing in the yard and talking to the servants at home. Naturally, I am talking about the business at home, as well as the days of my natal family. These people who are acquainted with them all have their faces full of admiration, while the Chen family is full of anger, and often secretly criticizes Aunt Cui for being a bastard.

Even if it was scolding, she could only scold secretly, not to mention looking at the face of the six young masters. Now she and Yan Qu are just a face-to-face, and her mother’s family is originally a family of small officials, now outside, brothers and sisters None of her parents are in Beijing, and she has no confidence.

The temper cannot be sent to Aunt Cui, let alone Yan Qu and her two daughters. Aunt Lan, the fifth young master, and Yan Hong naturally became the object of her discouragement. On weekdays, I looked at a few people who didn’t have a good face, and often said that Sang cursed Huai and said that they ate for nothing.

Yan Hong is a clever man. Very few outsiders show his face in front of him on weekdays. The Chen family’s anger naturally prevents him from getting on him. Aunt Lan and Young Master Six have become a piece of cake. Aunt Lan lived in Huanchang in her early years. She was naturally not stupid. She endured it first, then broke out after she couldn’t bear it.

One day, seeing Yan Qu at home, there was a quarrel in front of Yan Qu and the old lady.

First, there was a cry, crying for the poor Sixth Young Master, crying for himself, and Yan Ting, who had died young, let the mother and son be sent under the fence. After crying, she was looking for death and life. After being stopped by someone, she said with tears in her tears, saying that if the third lady really saw their mother and son not pleasing to her eyes, she would return the Zhuangzi under the name of Master Six to her, and she would take it. With Six Young Masters moved out to live. Even if the mother and son are inevitably bullied outside, it’s better than being cold-eyed here.

The Chen family’s lifeline was pinched at this moment.

Nowadays, unlike in the past, Sanye’s salary in a year is only a few tens of taels. Such a large family depends on the income of the Zhuangzi. Young Master Six is ​​still young now, and it will be more than ten years before he can become independent in his adulthood. How can the Chen family willingly let out the money at hand.

She can only apologize and appease, saying that her family has changed, and she is working hard every day, and her temper will inevitably be irritable. It is definitely not aimed at Six Young Masters and so on, so Aunt Lan should not think too much.

Naturally, Auntie Lan didn’t really want to go out of her own house. She was a weak woman with a child, and the world was sinister, and she might be swallowed by life sometime. Yan Qu is an official no matter how bad he is, and he can shelter from the wind and rain a little bit. The reason why she made a fuss was just to tell everyone that she and the Sixth Master did not eat for nothing, and now so many people in this family are serving the Sixth Master’s bowl. Don’t ask for respect and respect, at least you can’t be reduced to a punching bag, otherwise the future will be impossible.

Because of Aunt Lan’s move, everyone knew that she was not annoying. On that day, Yan Yan forced the two remaining Zhuangzi to change the names of Yan Hong and Yan Qing. In fact, many people in the palace did not know. Everyone knows such a trouble.

Suddenly, the people below saw that Yan Hong and Aunt Lan’s eyes were different. In the past, there was no one around Yan Hong to serve. The servants always rejected what Aunt Lan wanted to do. Naturally, things changed drastically at this moment. As for what happened in the room of the two of them, there was no shortage of subordinates in the room of the other masters who ran out to show their courtesy.

Therefore, no matter how small a place is, there are also rivers and lakes. The effect of Yan Yan’s actions that day was revealed. To put it bluntly, it was just to find a support for the two of them, so that they could live on.

On the other side, there is the old lady.

The old lady has always been pampered, and she didn’t mention it when she was still able to move in her early years. In recent years, she has been paralyzed on the couch and has been carefully cared for every day.

First, she moved out of the Rong’an Hall where she had lived for decades, and moved to this kind of cramped shabby room, and then the old lady’s house was not small, but it was a bit humid and sultry. In addition, there is only one mother Zhao and a little girl taking care of her, and it is inevitable that she will be a little busy on weekdays, which makes the old lady extremely unbearable.

The old lady has naturally made trouble, but now that it is just such a condition, it is useless to make trouble. Everything in the whole family is close to her, what else do you want?

Feeling aggrieved and uncomfortable, the old lady slumped on the couch day and night upside down. When she woke up, she lay on the couch and sweared vaguely. Not only are Mother Zhao and Girl Xiaomiao who are in the same room with her unbearable, the sixth and seventh girls in Dongxiang are spoiled, sleep light at night, and are often awakened from dreams by the old lady’s scolding, and go to Chen the next day. Shi cried and complained that the movements made by his grandmother at night were too scary.

On the contrary, Aunt Lan’s mother and son in the West Wing did not see any movement. In fact, it was not Aunt Lan who didn’t want to make comments, but that she and the Sixth Master were totally helpless and naturally did not dare to provoke the old lady. At first, she was naturally scared. Later, Auntie Lan found some cotton wool, and when she was about to go to bed at night, she would use cotton wool to plug her and Six Young Master’s ears. Although it was not very comfortable, she could sleep peacefully.

Mother Zhao is not too young, and has served the old lady all her life. Saying it’s a waiter, but in fact it’s just talking about it. Naturally, someone will do the work. Now she and Xiao Miao are left to take care of the old lady. Xiao Miao is young, with thin arms and legs. On weekdays, she rolls over and wipes the old lady, relying on Mother Zhao alone.

It didn’t take long for Mother Zhao to lose weight to the naked eye.

Zhao’s mother also has a son and a daughter-in-law, and she worked as a errand in the Weiyuan Hou Mansion in her early years. When he moved away from the Weiyuan Hou Mansion that day, he begged the old lady to speak and let him go. Mother Zhao is also the number one person in the backyard of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion. In previous years, she had no less money in her hand. Her son borrowed her light and used to do purchases at the mansion. Naturally, this was a messy job, so after Zhao’s mother and son were released, they bought a small yard, and the husband and wife made a small business, and the days were quite moist. I talked to Mama Zhao several times and wanted to take her out to enjoy the blessing, but Mama Zhao refused.

Zhao’s mother is a Zhien Illustrated newspaper, thinking that everything in the family now is because of the old lady. Now that the old lady is in such a difficult situation, how can she bear to leave.

But no amount of loyalty can survive the day by day. As the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, let alone a servant?

Especially Zhao’s mother is now old and healthy, and she can’t support it. Since the old lady left Weiyuan Hou Mansion, her temper has become even more weird. She always messes with people when she eats and drinks. She spills herself and makes the bedding messy.

Now it can’t be compared with when in Weiyuan Houfu, the old lady’s dirty bedding has to be cleaned by Mother Zhao and Xiao Miao. Naturally, I can ask other people to help, but other people can’t finish their work, and it is inevitable that they will not be washed in time. The old lady can’t be cold, and they can only be busy with each other’s heels every day.

On the one hand, there was an old lady with a weird temper, but on the other hand, her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren were urging her every day. Mother Zhao finally couldn’t hold on, and she wanted to leave. Together, these thoughts can never be erased.

After some days of hesitation, Mother Zhao fell ill. ?
