Maid, Little Lucky Wife

Regarding Shen Menglian's death, the third prince felt depressed for a while.

He didn't feel it was a pity that this man died, but that he felt pity for the wealth within his reach.

He was once rich in money, spending money lavishly, not worrying about not having enough money to spend, and even enjoyed cultivating private soldiers.

It's a pity that all this was ruined by that woman Shen Menglian. If she hadn't used poppies, Shen Menglian would have been able to convert money well with the formulas in her mind. Unfortunately, this person was too greedy.

On the day Shen Menglian was beheaded, the third prince did not come forward at all. He had feelings for Shen Menglian, but the feelings were very weak and faded quickly. Even after Shen Menglian died, he did not want to collect her body.

But for the sake of good reputation, the third prince sent the body to the mass grave in a thin coffin, which also settled the relationship between the couple.

At this time, the third prince was completely different from the high-spirited person half a year ago. His eyes were gloomy and he looked extremely gloomy.

In the past, he was still wearing the cloak of hypocrisy, but now he is too lazy to pretend, as if he is a hungry wolf, ready to pounce and take a bite at any time.

Although the prince played a role in fueling the flames, he was not directly involved.

That man's death was also an accident. I didn't expect that this man was so addicted. He drank poppies directly after discovering them. He overdosed and died.

After the people in the capital who had eaten poppies had no major problems, the matter finally couldn't be covered up and was exposed.

For a time, the third prince became the target of public criticism. Someone who had died recently came to the third prince directly to ask for an explanation.

There are people throwing dog blood and feces at the gate of the house every day, and the stench is overwhelming.

There were even rumors that the third prince was colluding with foreign countries and wanted to rebel.

Such rumors were suppressed by the imperial court as soon as they surfaced. The emperor gave him a pension, which suppressed the public anger.

The third prince never showed up, huddled in the palace and did not go out. Even the servants who went out to buy did not dare to take the initiative to report their family status.

Life in the Third Prince's Mansion was so depressing that even the New Year celebrations were silent. You couldn't attend the banquets in the palace, so you could only send gifts.

Not only the third prince, but also his mother and concubine were under lockdown. There were too many troubles, and the emperor did not go to see her at all. Later, he could only stay in the courtyard.

After all, Beijing is more lively than Li County. The Spring Festival is in winter, so it’s not particularly cold, but there are many places selling various snacks outside.

Rui'er's college had a holiday, so she took her younger brother out for a walk every day.

Yun Shang was not worried either. Xiao Li's son and Uncle Zheng's grandson were also with him.

Besides, the two of them looked well-dressed at first glance, so no one would take the initiative to cause trouble.

People who buy for the New Year start preparing very early. The whole government has to make new clothes and red seals.

Yun Shang, who got married, gave them leave and let them go back to their small home to celebrate the New Year.

I have just come back, and I have to prepare New Year gifts for each mansion, including Brother Zheng's, Uncle Li's, and the Hou's mansion, as well as those of other officials' families and the families of the little sisters I have good friends with.

The rules in the capital are very strict. How to prepare gifts for those with high official positions, how to prepare gifts for those with low official positions, gifts between merchants' families and women, and gifts between children, all these must be thought out clearly.

Fortunately, grandma is here.

Grandma is now old and lacks energy, so she has begun to take care of the maid and tell the maid everything she knows.

The maid is Chunlan. Chunlan has a sweet temper. After getting married, she became a housekeeper and did well in all aspects.

Mammy wanted her to take over, and Chunlan agreed. From time to time, she would see the two of them whispering together.

Yun Shang is not worried at all about these maids and mother-in-law, knowing that they are very loyal.

Ever since the incident happened in the Third Prince's Mansion, the Zhou family has been very quiet. No, it should be said that she has been very honest from the beginning and does not cause trouble or cause trouble.

Before she could do anything, there was news that something happened to the third prince and his concubine was gone, so she was convinced.

Yun Shang is not the one who talks about concubines, but it is impossible to give the other party a good look.

Mo Xuan's stepmother is a good example.

Yun Shang even said many times that she wanted to deal with the person.

Zhou looked at Yun Shang's bulging belly and did not dare to step forward. She could only watch from a distance. Occasionally, she could see Mo Xuan caring about Yun Shang.

It made her feel jealous. How nice would it be if she had this favor for herself?

Touching her belly, she wanted Mo Xuan's child.

Thinking of Mo Xuan's fierceness in bed and his tenderness towards her, she seemed to like Mo Xuan.

Thinking of the tenderness between the two of them, I felt a sense of expectation. How great would it be if I could have a child, preferably like Mo Xuan?

Zhou's face was red and her eyes were full of love, which made the maids around her look down upon her.

Humph, you still want to compete with Madam for favor? Regardless of her status, do you really think that an adult would touch her? madness!

The people who serve Zhou are loyal to his wife and Mo Xuan, and every move she makes escapes their eyes.

The few moments of tenderness in Zhou's memory were all hallucinations caused by using incense, thinking that Mo Xuan would come to her room occasionally.

Listening to her playing music and watching her dancing, I even thought that adults treat her differently.

It's a pity that this person has no self-awareness.

On New Year's Eve, Yunshang gave everyone a holiday, and those who had families went home, and those who were not married spent the New Year together alone.

Mo Mansion is never short of people, it is always lively, even with children.

The fireworks in Beijing are beautiful, and you can enjoy them standing in the yard.

After Xiaoyu watched the fireworks, she was about to go out to watch the lion dance.

Yun Shang grabbed her youngest son and said, "Xiaoyu, why are you going?"

"Mom, I want to see the lion dance, isn't it every year?"

Mo Xuan Yunshang looked at each other, and Mo Xuan nodded at the lady's questioning look.

Yun Shang touched her youngest son's head and said, "Don't worry, you'll see him soon, but he's not here yet. It will take a while."

Xiaoyu was very confused. He had watched lion dance since he was a child. Because Mo Xuan was the county magistrate of Li County, the first lion dancer would come to his house, and he was used to it.

Mo Xuan thought that he should make it clear to his younger son that it would be bad if he made a joke in the future.

He squatted down and said, "Son, this is not Li County, and my father is not the county magistrate. There are many people here who have greater official positions than my father, so they will not come here to perform for my father!"

Xiao Yu tilted her head and thought for a moment, "How big is the official who is older than his father?"

Mo Xuan smiled, "There are many, but the biggest one is the emperor. We" will all kowtow when we see him. "

Xiaoyu was still young and could not understand what he said. He was quickly attracted by other things.

After waiting for a while, I finally heard the noise.

Because this area is full of officials, the lion dance and stilt walking teams will start from the palace and go to the end of the alley.

You can see the family standing at the door of the mansion, surrounded by people, and there are also people who are following the procession.

There were too many people, so Yun Shang watched for a while and then went back. The two little ones clapped and shouted, being carried on someone's shoulders and watched very seriously.

After the fireworks in the palace were set off, it was time for other officials to set off the fireworks, which continued until midnight.
