The Prince of Rebirth

"Although you don't need to go to school tomorrow, you should call me earlier in the morning. I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time, so I have to go to Fushou Garden to see her."

Xia Jin tilted her head slightly to ask Dongzhi to dry his hair, while continuing to say to Xie Yu,

"I have to talk to my mother. I'll go first tomorrow, and my mother can go and sit down when she sees it. I can always help out a little."

Mrs. Hou Ye doesn't like Second Master Xia, and she doesn't even like Mrs. Li. Although she usually doesn't make things difficult in public, she can't help setting rules in front of Mrs. Li, but it's not common for her to be a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Being filial in front of him will lead to gossip, so Li Shi has suffered a lot over the years, this cannot be changed, and Xia Jin can only try her best to help.

"Yes, brother, let's go to bed early, and the servants will make arrangements for themselves."

After Xia Jin's previous beatings, Xieyu has become a lot more compliant, and he is more cautious in doing things on weekdays, but it takes a lot more than before.She is the head of the Begonia Garden, and seeing her like this, the other maids and daughters-in-law dare not stop treating Xia Jin as a serious master.

"Is there any movement between Uncle and Auntie recently?"

"It's been quiet for the past few days. Only this morning, the eldest lady came to talk to the second lady for a while, and heard a little maid from another yard mention that the eldest lady's face was not very good when she left, and the servants beside her didn't know."

Xia Jin nodded. It is inconvenient for him to intervene in the affairs of the inner house. It would be a good thing if Mrs. Li can stand up, but his aunt's family's character can't be wrong. After being stimulated for a while, I'm afraid I can't change it.

"Did you send someone to see my aunt? She just had a miscarriage and she was weak. I can't get in the confinement room, so you can take a look at it for me. If there is something missing, just make up for it, father and mother." They are not the ones who care about these things.”

"Your maidservant has made a note. I have asked Mother He to go over there to see her earlier. Auntie looks pretty good, but it is a bit difficult to get out of bed. Maybe it will take a while to recover. Brother, don't worry about it."

The fact that Xia Jin's biological mother is Mrs. Zhang has been made public, so of course Xia Jin's filial piety need not be avoided as much as before. He asked about the current situation of each room and made sure that there was nothing serious recently before going to sleep.

**

"Hehehe, my good grandson is still caring. Look, your elder brother and second brother are not as diligent as you. It's so easy to rest for the day. You don't want to sleep for a while, so you wake up early in the morning to listen to me. The old woman is talking, hehehehehe, listen to it."

The old lady hugged Xia Jin and did not let go, with a very happy smile on her face. If outsiders saw it, they would think that she really hurt Xia Jin to the bone, but in fact it was——she wished that the second wife would die and let the title It fell firmly into Da Fang's hands.What I said just now was to remind the old Hou Ye who was sitting next to him——Xia Jin was just here to show his favor, and he wanted to step on the eldest brother.

Mrs. Hou has always been a formidable lady, otherwise she would not have coaxed the old Hou Ye to take her as a concubine before he married his main wife, and gave birth to the eldest son of the Hou's mansion, and finally jumped away after leaving the main room. Mrs. Chenghou's Mansion, although the old Marquis has had many concubine aunts over the years, he loves and respects her very much, even on weekdays, he is more inclined to the eldest house.

"Grandma doesn't mind her grandson being noisy, it's good that he came here in such a hurry that he didn't even have breakfast, grandpa and grandma feel sorry for me and give me a few bites."

Xia Jin put on a flattering face, showing a greedy and greedy look, and gave full play to her advantage of being young to dispel the worries of the old Hou Ye. Seeing this, Mrs. Hou Ye only smiled and reached out to pat him on the head. The old and the young acted very vigorously. , It can't be seen that the two people actually have no relationship at all.

Marquis Yongning looked at Shu Xin from the sidelines, nothing gave him a sense of accomplishment more than the children and grandchildren born of the youngest wife and the eldest wife could get along in harmony, and by the way, looking at Xia Jin was also a little more loving.

"I heard from your elder brother that he will be the Grand Competition of Rosin Academy in January, and he can still keep up with his studies."

"Although grandson's qualifications are not as good as that of his eldest and second brothers, he firmly believes that hard work can make up for one's weakness. Although he doesn't dare to be called smart in school, he can be considered a hard worker. On weekdays, the teacher's assignments have never been delayed, and he has been praised several times."

The old Hou Ye nodded and twisted his beard, the old lady saw that she was not happy and hurriedly smiled and asked someone to bring the breakfast, then interrupted the conversation between the grandparents and grandson, but after a few mouthfuls, the old Hou Ye started talking again.

"Your father wasn't clever when he was young, but he was honest and honest after all, and he worked harder than others in learning. If you don't understand something in school, you can ask your elder brother and second brother. When you come back, you can talk to your father. Same."

"The grandson remembered it."

"Well, my grandfather only had three sons in this life. The fate of the grandson's generation is better than that of the son's generation. Naturally, there will be some conflicts when there are too many people. Your brothers should be in harmony, friendship, mutual understanding and mutual accommodation on weekdays. Your own brothers should not be separated by small things. .”

This is to remind Xia Jin not to hate Xia Yu and Xia Huan because of the previous conflict between the first room and the second room.

"Save the grandson, the eldest brother and the second brother take care of the grandson on weekdays, the grandson is grateful, how can there be any quarrel with the brothers."

Seeing this, the old Hou Ye didn't say any more, but put a chopstick of pickled vegetables into Xia Jin's bowl to signal him to eat quickly. The old lady's expression didn't change, but her fingernails left teeth marks on her palms for several months.

Xia Jin ate in a regular manner, and said some interesting things to make the old lady and the old master laugh. After all, he is young and cute, so he doesn't need to be too particular about his food at this time. Because the atmosphere is relaxed, the two old people have a meal After eating the meal, I drank half a bowl of porridge more than usual, and my stomach was inevitably a little bloated, so Xia Jin proposed to go for a walk in the yard.

"It's cool today, but it looks like it's going to rain that day."

"There is more rain this year than in previous years, and the midsummer is not as hot as in previous years."

Xia Jin took one in each hand and walked slowly in the courtyard. It was the end of August, the sun was not as strong as before, and the morning sun was just rising, and the morning breeze was still a bit cool.

"It won't be too hot these days. When your uncles and aunts return to Beijing, they should be able to suffer less on the way."

"Third uncle and third aunt are going back to Beijing?"

The old Hou Ye suddenly mentioned this matter, which reminded Xia Jin of her previous life. Because the third uncle was a concubine and had no hope of inheriting the title, he had already gone out to pursue his career by himself. General Xuanwei of the fourth rank, and the third-ranker also went to the west, and they never came back in the past few years.

"It's been six years since your third uncle left. At that time, you were only so young, but now you've grown up so much."

Old Hou Ye's complexion was reddish, and one could tell that he was in a very good mood. Although the third uncle was born from a concubine, he was still the real son of Old Hou Ye, and because this son was so upbeat and gave him a good face, there was no reason not to like it. It's been six years since I've come back this time, and it's considered a return home.

"In this way, I have never seen the appearance of the third uncle. This time I have to take a good look. I just don't know when the third uncle will arrive?"

"King Dingyuan will return to Beijing at the end of the year to enter the palace to face the saint. Your third uncle will naturally work with him in planning affairs under his tent. It will be September at the earliest and the end of October at the latest. You won't come back until winter comes."

King Dingyuan...Xia Jin scratched her head, convinced once again that there was no such a number one person in her previous life, but she vaguely remembered that she seemed to have heard these words somewhere.

There was a lot of commotion in the big room. Originally, Mrs. Wang went to see Mrs. Li to discuss with each family to collect some money and connect with the grandfather to decorate the yard of the third room. When Fang moved his family, there was nothing left in the yard. Even if there were some, they could no longer be used after so many years. There was only an empty shelf standing there, and everything had to be reconfigured.

Sanfang is now in the heart of the old Marquis, and he has no way to fight for the title, the eldest is happy to be a favor to the third, but he can't bear to give up the big head, so he puts his mind on the second.

Mrs. Li has always been easy to handle, but Mrs. Wang came here full of confidence, but she never thought that she would hit a soft nail. Before she mentioned the matter of sharing the share, Mrs. Li took her and cried, saying that she was a relative of her natal family It's not easy, everyone needs money, and they still want to ask her to borrow money. Mrs. Wang saw that Mrs. Li didn't look like a liar, and because Mrs. Li was a solid-eyed person who couldn't lie, she could only keep her head in suspense. When I came back, I didn't get a single copper plate.

"That old godly woman wants to pretend to be virtuous and magnanimous in front of Lord Hou, but she is unwilling to pay money. How much money I have put into this family for so many years, and this time there is a large amount of expenses on the third house. Do I open a silver mine here!"

Fu Que heard that Wang's words became more and more unreasonable, so she quickly winked and asked the little girl to close the door and window, and then went outside to make sure there was no outsider, and then she was a little relieved after hearing what she said just now.

"Madam calm down, this lotus heart tea clears away heat and fire, you take a sip, don't get angry."

Fu Que handed over the tea bowl. Although Wang Shi has a strong temper, Fu Que's words of serving her for many years can still play a certain role, so Wang Shi restrained his temper a little and stopped talking. He only took a sip and then put the tea bowl heavily. fell to the ground.

"It's not a long-term solution after all to just get in and out like this. My natal family doesn't have a small appetite. The old lady's side is hopeless, and the second room can't be squeezed out. I have to think about it."

Mrs. Wang walked back and forth in the room, unable to think in every possible way, depressed, and did not dare to scold the old lady anymore, so she had to go to a few aunts to find someone to set the rules and vent. Aunt Jiang, who has been quite favored recently, bears the brunt The few people made things difficult for Wang Shi, and they dared not complain because of her status as the main wife, so they had to endure it forcefully.

The clever girl next to her took advantage of her carelessness and ran away a few times, but she didn't dare to complain to the Elder Master. If the Elder Master came to save the scene, Mrs. Wang would release him at that time, but she would definitely settle accounts after the autumn. I thought of asking the young master to come.

"Brother cooking tea!"

Bailing ran to Wenqingyuan in a panic, and happened to meet Bocha on the way, and hurriedly pulled him, saying,

"Good brother, you have to help me this time. The aunts have gone to that side to set the rules again. The madam is very angry. Aunt Jiang is a double body. What if the fetal gas is moved..."

Cooking tea knows Wang's temperament, and he knows the joints after hearing Bailing's words. After comforting Bailing, he ran to find the young master. Shi made trouble again.

The Wang family was dismissed as a small matter, and the eldest and second young masters are still young, if they get a stepmother, their whole life will be ruined.
