Chapter 177 Calculation (1)
The ground was covered with thick hoarfrost, and Yu Xi was only wearing a long jacket with a silver-gray rat coat on the outside.
When going out, Zisu wanted to put a white fox fur cloak on Yuxi, but Yuxi pushed it away: "No, I'm not cold." Keep exercising every day, and now the benefits are obvious, you don't need to wear it even in winter It has to be like a ball. Compared with the previous life where he caught a cold and took medicine at every turn, his life now is really not too happy.
Arriving at the Upper Court, before entering the house, I heard a burst of laughter like silver bells. Yuxi didn't seem to hear it, and walked in without stopping.
As soon as Wen saw Yuxi, she said with a smile on her face: "It's true that Cao Cao will be there. Just now when the old lady mentioned the fourth girl, the fourth girl will be here."
After Yuxi saluted the old lady, she said flatly: "I don't know what the third aunt said about me in front of the grandmother?" Wen's coaxing the old lady so well after entering the house for more than a month, I can't help but say that this is my skill. Yuxi doesn't care how Wen's exploits, as long as she and Qiu's are not offended. If Wen Shi dared to provoke her, Yuxi wouldn't mind letting her know that in the Duke's Mansion, it's not just about being loved by the old lady and the third master.
During this period of time, Wen has dealt with people in the Duke's Mansion. People in the Duke's Mansion generally know a little bit. For example, sister-in-law Qiu Shi is a strong outsider, but as for Ye Shi, Lu Shi and Yuchen below, because they are of the younger generation, they are all polite to her. Only the fourth girl was an exception, and she was always indifferent when seeing her. Look, it's not polite at first.
Wen Shi didn't seem to hear the coldness in Yuxi's words, and said with a smile: "I used to hear that the fourth girl's embroidery skills are outstanding when I was a girl, but today I saw the old lady's forehead wiping, and I was really amazed. The fourth girl's embroidery skills are indeed well-deserved." The old lady's forehead wiping was done by Yuxi. For more than a year, Yuxi has been embroidering dowry, except for making two knee pads for Qiu, she has never done needlework for anyone else.
Before Yu Xi could reply, the woman outside called out: "Old Madam, Miss San and Miss Wu are here." After she was released from filial piety, Yu Rong went to Tingyun Pavilion to learn piano skills, calligraphy and chess from Yu Chen. The Yurong of this meeting is different from four years ago, and the Yurong of today has really calmed down and learned.
As soon as the old lady saw Yuchen, she asked about everything, big and small. This is also the habit of the old lady, not to mention Yuxi, even Yurong is used to it.
When the old lady finished talking with Yuchen, Yuxi said: "If grandma is fine, I will go back first." It is customary to come here on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year to say hello, but even if she came, Yuxi would just show her face and leave. As for Wen's morning and evening, it was Wen's own wish, and no one interfered.
After hearing this, Wen Shi looked at the old lady reflexively. She thought the old lady would be angry, but the result surprised her.
The old lady didn't care at all, she just said: "The divorce period is still more than half a year away, so don't be too tired. During this time, let Quan Nuo take good care of you."
Yuxi smiled and said, "Got it." Then she went out.
Looking at Yu Xi's leaving back, Wen Shi was extremely shocked. No wonder she was so surprised, because Qiu Shi was also respectful in front of the old lady. But the attitude of these four girls towards the old lady was so casual, what made him even more unbelievable was that the old lady was not angry at all.
With this question in mind, Wen went back to Biteng Courtyard, and said to Ah Hui, the maid brought from her mother's house: "Tell me, why is the old lady so tolerant to the fourth girl? Is there something I don't know about it?" Smallpox After so many years, Wen was banned again, but Wen didn't find out.
Ah Hui shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it. But what happened to the fourth girl has nothing to do with us. The girl must give birth to a son as soon as possible." The master is so much older than her own girl. I want to live without life. Ah Hui also grew up with Wen Shi since she was a child.
So there is not much taboo to speak.
Of course Wen also wanted to have a son as soon as possible to gain a foothold, but the problem was that she had just been married for more than a month, so she couldn't be in a hurry.
This evening, Yuxi was reading a book in the room when she heard Zisu walk in and say, "Girl, the Duke is back."
Yuxi let out a groan: "The sun is coming out from the west." Her uncle, um, no, it's her father who is too happy to leave when he is outside, and he doesn't want to go home for anything, even if he has something to do, he has to ask three times and four times before he is willing to come back. It's not surprising that this will come home suddenly.
Zi Su glanced at Yu Xi, and said in a low voice, "Girl, the Duke's Mansion didn't come back alone, but also brought a woman with a big belly back."
After hearing this, Yuxi's eyes didn't even fluctuate, and she said oh, there's no more to say. The eldest brother's status is as solid as a rock, not to mention that her father brought back a woman with a big belly, even if he brought back a son, he didn't worry about it.
Zisu was not so optimistic, and said, "Girl, I heard that woman is enchanting, so she is not a good person to look at. As soon as the Duke came back, he took her to see the eldest lady."
Originally, Yuxi didn't pay much attention to the pregnant woman, but after listening to Zisu's words, she was worried that Qiushi would suffer. Immediately put down the book in his hand, stood up and said to Zisu, "Let's go."
Zisu was taken aback, and asked, "Where are you going?"
Yuxi laughed and said: "Of course I went to the main courtyard, otherwise where else could I go?" As far as her mother's fighting power is concerned, anyone with a little bit of scheming can't beat her, so she went over to help.
When we got to the main courtyard, we heard a burst of crying. Yuxi showed a smile, and walked in without doing anything. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Qiu standing there with an angry face.
Yuxi walked over, bowed to the Duke, and called out: "Father."
The Duke of the State had a bad look at Yuxi, and said, "What are you doing here?" Without thinking about it, he knew that he was here to help the Qiu family.
Yuxi said with a smile: "I haven't seen my father for more than a year. I heard the maid said that my father is back, so I hurried over here."
Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, and Yuxi's words were also pleasant to the ear, the Duke's expression softened a lot: "It's hard for you to have such a heart."
Yuxi smiled and glanced at the pear-blossoming rainy girl standing behind Grandpa Guo, the smile on her face became more and more sweet: "Not only do I miss Dad, but grandma and elder brother also miss Dad all the time! Two days ago, my grandmother was still talking to me about whether my father would come back for the New Year. The whole family, the whole family hadn’t had a reunion dinner for a long time, and it was a reunion year. If my grandmother knew that my father was back, I don’t know how happy she would be .”
Although the Duke of the State complained a lot about his old mother, but after all, she was his biological mother. When Yu Xi said this, he felt a little bit sorry: "We will celebrate the New Year at home this year."
Aunt Mei, who was standing behind the Duke, was a little anxious, she didn't expect that the lady in charge was not doing well, but this girl who came out was a formidable character. With a few words, the master calmed down and took the topic off topic. Aunt Mei put her hands on her stomach, and was about to talk about her stomach.
Yuxi spoke before her: "Father, my aunt's face turned pale, is she feeling unwell? Do you want to call a doctor quickly." After speaking, she turned around and said to Qiu Shi: "Mother, hurry up and call for a doctor! My aunt still has a baby in her belly!"
If it was someone else who said this, Qiu would not listen, but Yu Xi would be another matter. She knew that Yuxi must be on her side, and she would not favor this woman who had never met before. No matter how reluctant she was, Qiu still said with a cold face: "Mother Li, hurry up and get someone to invite a doctor to show my aunt. This is the blood of the Han family, so don't delay!"
Mother Li got the order and went out immediately. With the fourth girl here, the fourth girl is more important than her, and she is not worried about her wife's loss.
Before the doctor came, he first alarmed the old lady. The old lady asked Mother Luo to personally invite the Duke to the upper court, and Qiu Shi and Aunt Mei also followed. Yuxi went back to her own yard, and it was not appropriate for a daughter to get involved in matters in her father's room.
Zi Su looked at Yu Xi and frowned, and knew what she was worried about: "Girl, there's no use worrying about this matter." Father wants to take a concubine, how can a child stop it.
Yuxi shook her head and said nothing.
That night, Yuxi knew that the old lady asked Aunt Mei to serve tea to Qiu Shi. Serving tea is equivalent to crossing the road of enlightenment and setting a name. Yuxi was not surprised by this. The old lady is a favorite of her offspring, even for the sake of the child in that woman's womb, she will give her a title.
Zi Su said in a low voice: "Girl, when the eldest lady came out of the upper courtyard, her face was very ugly."
Yuxi shook her head and said: "Mother, you are too sincere." All these years, my mother has seen Yuxi's filial piety to the old lady. It's just that it doesn't matter how filial the mother is, everyone has relatives, and in the eyes of the old lady, no matter how filial the daughter-in-law is, she can't compare to her own son. It's just my mother's solid-eyed person. If it were her, it would be fine on the face of it. Why would she take the trouble to serve her mother-in-law filially and filially like her own mother. Of course, Yuxi just thinks about these words in her heart, and won't say them out.
Zisu said: "Girl, it's not safe to look at that woman, I'm afraid the big house will not have a quiet life in the future."
Yuxi nodded her head: "You're right, I'm afraid there won't be a quiet day in the future." That woman can't shake her mother's position, but [UUReading 00kxs] can add trouble to her mother. Thinking back to Aunt Rong, because of her father's doting, she has been dancing for more than ten years, and her mother has been aggrieved for more than ten years.
A stern look flashed across Yu Xi's eyes, she would absolutely not allow another Aunt Rong to appear in the eldest room. She wanted to let her mother live the rest of her life safely and happily, instead of being so angry with some women who didn't know the so-called so-called so that she could not live a peaceful life. However, she had to think of a solution once and for all. Otherwise, even if Aunt Mei was taken care of, other women would appear. She doesn't have the time to fight these women. What's more, she will go out in May next year, so she won't be able to take care of many things.
Seeing that Yu Xi's expression was wrong, Zi Su asked, "Girl, what are you thinking?"
Yuxi smiled: "I didn't think about it." If she wants to do it once and for all, she can't do it alone. This matter can only be done by the elder brother. There is no way, those who can do more work, who made the eldest brother so powerful!
