Chapter 48 Private Alliance without Concubines
Xue Yuelou came over early, put on brightly colored new clothes, put on makeup, and became more energetic. He held his six-year-old son Ming Ge'er in hand. Although his expression was cold and indifferent, he was still a servant. When they saw it, they all secretly discussed that something had happened to the second uncle Yao, and the second uncle's grandma's complexion had improved visibly to the naked eye.
She went to see the old lady and Mrs. Fu, and then went straight to Lixiangyuan.
Xue Sui looked at her face and smiled broadly.
"Ruyi, hurry up and show the second girl a seat."
Xue Yuelou was also not polite to her. He sat down and took the tea from Ruyi, and then talked about Yao Wei.
"Yao Sanye's life was saved, but his eyes were damaged and he couldn't see clearly. He couldn't speak clearly. He moaned and coughed all day long and couldn't get out of bed. The doctor said it was filth. Inhalation of the liquid causes stagnation of lung qi and damages the internal organs. The body fluid turns into phlegm and saliva, blocking the airway, burning the lung yin, and ulcerating the corners of the eyes..."
She said it with a smile.
Xue Sui listened with a smile.
Yao Wei, who was worse off than dead, could no longer bully her.
Xue Yuelou couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and spoke again without waiting for Xue Sui to ask.
"The whole family of the Yao family was in a state of despair. They invited all the famous doctors in Beijing, but they all said it was difficult and no matter how much treatment they were given, they would probably never be able to return to their original state. His father, mother and widowed sister-in-law cried so hard that they forced me to go and treat him. I am happy that he is at my mercy now...I am willing to serve him now."
Xue Sui smiled slightly.
"Yao Sanye has suffered so much grievance, why don't you want to find someone to settle the score?"
Xue Yuelou chuckled: "Who should I settle the score with? The wounds on Yao Sanye's vest are clearly cat paw prints. Is it possible to catch all the cats in Shangjing City and interrogate them?"
Seeing her happy expression, Xue Sui also smiled.
Senior Brother Yaoguang has a lot of experience in handling this kind of thing, and he has many methods.
She thought for a while, with a slight smile on her lips, and asked in a cryptic manner.
"Is there anything unusual in the Yao family recently?"
Xue Yuelou was startled. Seeing that there was no one else around him, he took out two rolls of paper rolled into tubes from his wide sleeves and handed them to Xue Sui.
"I found this from his study, Liu Mei, can you see if it's useful?"
Yao Wei's father was Yao Hong, the Minister of Internal Affairs. He was usually responsible for the drafting, review, and communication of imperial decrees. He also participated in the organization of some archives and classics. He had access to the imperial court's confidential decrees and important official correspondence.
But what Xue Yuelou gave Xue Sui had nothing to do with this.
It’s about the appointment and dismissal of officials...
There will be three scientific examinations on February 9th, February 12th and February 15th this year. After the Spring Festival ended, many local students stayed in Beijing to serve as officials.
The father and son of Shilang Yao obtained the name of Princess Pingle and took the opportunity to make a lot of money...
They were originally a party. Yao Wei's biological sister Yao Minjun worked in Princess Pingle's "Women's Workshop" and was one of Pingle's trusted lackeys.
“Very useful.”
Xue Sui put away the things and smiled at Xue Yuelou.
"Second sister, are you willing to make peace and leave the Yao Mansion completely?"
Xue Yuelou was shocked when he heard the word "harmony".
"Sixth sister...how can this be done?"
Since ancient times, it has been easy for a woman to be divorced, but it is even more difficult to reconcile.
From the time she married into the Yao Mansion, she was a tool for the marriage between the two families. During the humiliating days and nights, she even begged Yao Wei to divorce his wife, but failed to do so. How could she escape?
"Let me give it a try first. Now the second sister can save herself and enjoy the joy of serving Mr. Yao. If you have any difficulties in the house, just go to Manager Fang and he will help."
After Xue Sui finished speaking, he stood up and walked over to caress the child who was squatting on the ground playing.
"Brother Ming, come and call aunt..."
Brother Ming raised his head and looked at her blankly, saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth, his eyes dull, clearly looking stupid.
Xue Yuelou sighed secretly, feeling very sad.
"Brother Ming got sick when he was three years old. He went to countless doctors and took countless decoctions, but it still didn't work..."
Xue Sui picked up the child and said with a smile: "It's quite heavy."
Xue Yuelou said: "Fortunately, his mouth is easy to use and he can eat and sleep. Otherwise, he would be even more worried."
Xue Sui weighed the child and found that he was slender and stronger than ordinary children. His facial features were also like Xue Yuelou's, clear and elegant. If it weren't for this disease, he would have been such a handsome man when he grew up.
She looked at Xue Yuelou: "Do you want Brother Ming to stay in Lixiangyuan for a few days? I'll find someone to look after him..."
Hope appeared on Xue Yuelou's face.
She was able to survive that day all thanks to Xue Sui's intervention.
"Sixth sister turned out to be a miracle doctor?"
Xue Sui smiled sarcastically.
"I dare not call you a miracle doctor, I only know a little bit about it."
Xue Yuelou thought she was speaking modestly and thanked her profusely.
But Xue Sui is serious.
She learned ten skills in Jiulingmarsh, one of which was "medicine". But she is not specialized in medical skills. The real great one is her elder brother Tianshu. The pills that saved Xue Yuelou that day were the pills that Tianshu gave her to save her life...
It's just that she couldn't tell Xue Yuelou about this kind of thing.
So he picked up Brother Ming again and changed the topic.
"It's getting lively right now, should we go and have a look?"
Xue Yuelou was looking forward to his life, his face looked much better, and he quickly followed him. "King Duan is here, and there are more guests than usual. Countless people in the capital have sent congratulatory gifts..."
This is how things are in the ordinary world. Even if you want to be more spiritually noble in your heart, you have to drift with the tide in the intrigues of fame and fortune, desperately trying to survive. Everyone is like this, it is inevitable...
Xue Sui's eyes were light and his smile did not change.
"Just as it should be."
It's time for everyone to come and see the pomp of the Xue family's married daughter, and see how rich Xue Yueying's ten-mile red makeup is...
-
At about 1 o'clock in the morning, the wedding team from the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion arrived, beating gongs and drums along the way, passing through Fu'an Lane with great momentum.
The Xue Mansion's residence is at the end of Fu'an Lane.
Both sides were already surrounded by people.
There were girls from the Xue Mansion, scattering wedding money and handing out wedding candies at the door, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"The sedan chair has arrived, and the groom is here!"
Gu Jie was wearing a bright red wedding dress and a black gauze on his head. His handsome face was flushed with a blush, his eyes were bright, his posture was upright, his smile was like the warm spring sun, and he looked high-spirited.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He frequently held up his hands and saluted everyone around him with a smile, causing bursts of laughter.
"What a handsome groom."
"Gu Wulang is famous all over the capital and has a handsome appearance. Many ladies from famous families fell in love with him, but he only fell in love with the girl from Xue Mansion."
"That's why Xue's family has such a high profile that it can recruit such an outstanding uncle..."
Gu Jie walked to the door of the mansion amidst the sound of praise and got off his horse.
At the gate, several brothers from the Xue family, uncles, cousins, and young men from the family members all crowded in like those happy birds, chirping and shouting for the groom to pass the customs before entering.
The customs passed down from our ancestors cannot be broken by anyone.
Reciting poems and composing poems was not a problem for Gu Jie.
The brothers happily asked questions, and Gu Jie answered quickly and well, which attracted applause from the whole room.
At this time, Xue Yi, the youngest son of Sanfang, squeezed out from the crowd, raised his hands, and shouted with a smile.
"I want to ask too, I want to ask too. Let me ask the question!"
This little guy stood in the middle of the crowd with his hands on his hips and made everyone laugh.
"It's still early for you to be the groom's official, so don't make noises..."
Xue Yi's face turned red and he screamed at the top of his lungs.
"I want to ask the bridegroom official, what is the explanation for this saying, 'No concubine, secretly married with a bead, and a male and female'? I heard someone say that this is the case for my fourth sister and fourth brother-in-law... ”
A child's words are like a ladle of cold water poured into a hot pan.
There was silence for a moment, and the smiles on everyone's faces froze.
The child is still young, so nothing can be considered scheming. But every word was like a slap in the face of Gu Jie and the Xue family. Even those who are unaware of the good deeds will smile and understand somewhat after hearing this.
Gu Jie's smile was awkward and the festive atmosphere became subtle.
Xi Niang was well-informed and quickly asked people to pull Xue Yi away. The husband of the Xue family stopped making trouble and opened the door to let people go. Gu Jie ducked in, pretending not to see the scorching eyes and hearing the people around him. of whispers.
Xiao Xue Yi was brought in by the nanny. In front of the old lady and the eldest lady, Qian scolded him with a dark face. He told the child that he was about to cry, his mouth was flat, and he cried silently. The old lady felt distressed again.
Xue Qingzhi looked very unhappy because of this commotion and the loss of the Xue family.
But it was a happy event, and it was impossible to have a quarrel with the people in the third room in front of a full house of guests.
Xue Qingxiu didn't care much. He touched his son's head and blamed Qian.
"Why are you scolding him? Tongyanwuji. Brother Yi is at the age where he is eager to learn. He knows that his fourth brother-in-law is very knowledgeable, so he went to him to clarify his doubts. How big is it? Is it worth making a fuss about?"
He was used to being careless, and Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In private, she quietly asked Xue Yi:
"Tell me honestly, who told you to do it?"
Xue Yi stuck out his tongue and ran faster than the wind.
"I won't tell you. I won't tell you!"
Qian could only sigh in amusement.
"This is also the fault of the fourth girl. No one can blame her."
-
Liuli Pavilion.
Before Xue Yueying left the house, she heard someone talk about the incident with the concierge.
Her face turned red with anger, her heartbeat quickened, and her tears immediately fell down. The makeup lady patiently touched up her makeup. Several people took turns to comfort her for a moment, and then she suppressed the pain and took over the embroidery. With the support of Xi Niang, the twin "Xi Fans" with lotuses on their sides hid their faces and went out, knelt down and kowtowed in front of the altar in the courtyard, bid farewell to their ancestors and parents, and then got on the sedan chair.
The wedding team went out with a lot of fanfare, and Ruyi looked very regretful.
"It's a pity, it's a pity that the fourth girl left so easily."
Xiao Zhao crossed his arms and nodded, "Why not kill him..."
Ruyi was speechless, "Why do you always want to fight and kill?"
Xiao Zhao looked at her and said, "We don't have anything else."
Xue Sui wiped Brother Ming's saliva, glanced at the two of them, and smiled lightly.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy..."
