Chapter 362, molesting
After the matter of the sixth prince's desire to remarry the daughter of the Duke of Ming's mansion stagnated, Shi Fuxin seldom paid attention to it, and concentrated on taking care of Hongyanxiao's opening of a branch.
By taking advantage of Chu Yao's power and the name of the palace, when Shi Fuxin was eighteen years old, the total number of branches of Hongyanxiao reached one hundred.
This is undoubtedly a big mess, so Shi Fuxin has to spend more energy to take care of it. This way, it will inevitably reduce her attention to other affairs.
For example, when dealing with her in-laws, she does not have the self-consciousness of a newlywed at all.
A daughter-in-law from another family, after marrying into her in-law's family, will definitely establish a good relationship with her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law. When it comes to Shi Fuxin's place, she has no intention of toughening everyone since she married into the family. Be a twenty-four filial daughter-in-law.
Except for the necessary banquets, Shi Fuxin seldom meets other people in the palace, and either stays in Rong'an Yuan to deal with affairs, or goes out of the mansion to meet Yan Daizi, Luo Qiyun and other stewards.
Anyway, as long as the people in the palace don't provoke her, she just ignores it.
The old concubine and concubine Guan both dislike Shi Fuxin and don't want to see her. The two sides don't interfere with each other, which can be regarded as achieving a different kind of harmony.
Fuguang Pavilion, Guan Xiuyan's residence in the palace.
In summer, due to the sun shining on the floating pavilion, the surrounding curved water and lake water become sparkling, which is reflected on the walls of the houses. It is very beautiful to look at, but for the people who live here , not so friendly.
The weather was sweltering, and Guan Xiuyan opened the window for ventilation when she took a nap in the chaise longue by the window, but she was woken up by the reflected water light not long after she fell asleep.
The servant girl Huier saw that Guan Xiuyan was awake, and quickly brought her herbal tea. While watching Guan Xiuyan sip, she fanned her: "Fortunately, it's already August, and the sun won't be so strong in a long time."
Guan Xiuyan lowered her eyes: "Without the sun, there will still be frost."
Hui Er fell silent when she heard this.
Fuguang Pavilion is really not a good place. In summer, it is difficult to fall asleep due to the turbulent waves. In winter, it is terribly cold. However, the princess still thinks this place is elegant. The girl was arranged to live here as soon as she entered the palace.
"Girl, the princess loves you so much, even if you tell her that you want to change the yard, she will not refuse."
Guan Xiuyan shook her head: "Moving the hospital is a major event, and my aunt is not in charge of the palace. If I really went to tell her, my aunt might agree because of face."
"However, the second sister-in-law is not a good talker. She will definitely make trouble with the old princess. If the old princess finds out, she might take the opportunity to scold her aunt again."
"My aunt was reprimanded because of me, do you think she would blame me for being troublesome?"
Hui Er stopped talking, and she has seen it over the years that it is true that the princess loves the girl, but the premise is that the girl is sensible and obedient and does not cause trouble for her.
Guan Xiuyan was a little dazed, and after exploring, she murmured in a low voice: "Besides, I am old now, how long can I live in the palace?"
When Huier heard this, she was really anxious: "Girl, is it possible that the princess wants to marry you?"
Guan Xiuyan smiled wryly: "It would be a blessing for me if my aunt really wanted to marry me."
Hui Er heard something was wrong in the words, and hurriedly said: "Girl, what is the princess' plan for you?"
Guan Xiuyan supported her head with one hand, closed her eyes to hide the sadness and involuntary feelings in her heart, and opened her eyes to Huier after a while: "How many days did cousin live in the mansion last month?"
Hui Er counted with her fingers: "It seems to be about ten days."
Guan Xiuyan was silent, with a wry smile on her face: "Cousin is returning home more and more times." After a pause, she continued, "You said, is it because of my cousin that my cousin has changed so much?"
Hui'er knew her girl's thoughts about the third master, and didn't want to poke a knife in her heart, so she didn't answer.
Guan Xiuyan said dejectedly: "My cousin doesn't talk much in private, even to my aunt, I can't say a few words. Will he talk to his cousin?"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Huier to say anything, she said to herself, "They must have something to say, otherwise, why would my cousin come back so frequently?"
"I don't know what my cousin will do with my cousin every time I go home?"
Hearing this, Huier also sighed.
In the past, the third master rarely went back to the mansion, and he didn't bother to ask about his yard. Therefore, the third master's yard was like a leaky plug, and outsiders would know about anything that happened.
But after the third lady came in, the current Rong'an Courtyard is managed like an iron bucket, and outsiders can't get any information.
Ronganyuan
Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao in surprise: "Isn't the Supervision Department busy recently?" It was difficult to see Chu Yao before, but recently this guy came back more and more often.
Chu Yao looked at her: "Why, don't you want to see me?"
Shi Fuxin smiled: "Of course not, am I concerned about your errand?"
Chu Yao stared at Shi Fuxin: "You care so much about my errands." After a pause, he suddenly said, "If I wasn't the commander of the Supervision Department, or the son of the palace, would you still marry me?"
When Shi Fuxin heard this, she said cheerfully, "If you really don't have these identities, I can't wait to marry you back home, you're a treasure in the golden house."
When Shi Fuxin used the word 'marry', Chu Yao's complexion darkened immediately, and before he could react, Shi Fuxin stood up, walked in front of him, and then leaned directly Sit on his lap, hook his neck with one hand, and lift his chin with the other.
Shi Fuxin's perverted appearance stunned Chu Yao on the spot, his eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.
At this moment, he has only one thought in his mind, he was molested by Shi Liu! !
Shi Fuxin's face was filled with a smirk of flirting with women from a good family: "Darling, do you know, grandma, I have long coveted your beauty for a long time."
After finishing speaking, he changed to touching his face instead of picking his chin.
"Tsk tsk, why do you look so to my liking?"
Then 'baji' kissed Chu Yao's face.
Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin foolishly as if she had lost her soul.
Shi Fuxin put her arms around Chu Yao's neck, and looked at him with a smile: "Sister, do you know how much I like you now? Remember, when I choose to marry you, I value you the most. You You have to trust your daughter-in-law's eyes."
After finishing speaking, seeing that Chu Yao was still stupidly still, she stood up straight up, sat back at the table, and continued to deal with the affairs of Hongyanxiao's branches.
"Hoo~"
"Hoo~"
"Hoo~"
It took a while for Chu Yao to come back to his senses, and as soon as he regained his senses, he ran out of Shi Fuxin's room, as if there was some great terror behind him.
But when he ran out of the yard, he stopped suddenly.
Suifeng who followed didn't know what happened in the room, and watched in horror as Chu Yao slapped himself. Before he stepped forward to persuade him, he saw Chu Yao turn around abruptly, and rushed back to the yard angrily.
At a loss and inexplicable, Suifeng also followed back, and then saw Chu Yao stop at the door of the room like a brake.
Then, he walked up and down under the eaves, looking like he was on the verge of going berserk.
It's six o'clock! It's six! It's six!
How dare she, how dare she kiss him? !
This kind of intimacy, even if it is done, he should take the initiative!
What did she take him for? She was married, and she was in a golden house. Did she treat him as a little daughter-in-law? !
What's even worse is that after kissing him, she continued to deal with affairs as if nothing had happened!
Damn it!
Exasperating!
Suifeng looked at Chu Yao, who was angry and angry, and his expression was still changing, and silently backed away.
The third master was very angry, and the anger was obviously aimed at the third wife.
However, the third master seems to be afraid to go into the room to talk to his wife! !
Sure enough, after running away for a while, the third master went towards the study.
Suifeng hurriedly followed, and then saw that after the third master entered the study, he changed his previous anger and became annoyed and dejected.
What did the third lady do?
The third master was so angry that he began to loathe himself! !
Suifeng looked in the direction of the main room, his eyes full of awe, the third master would most likely fall into the hands of the third lady, and when he saw the third lady in the future, he would have to be more respectful.
In the study room, Chu Yao rubbed his forehead in frustration. He couldn't figure it out, why every time when he was in the match, he seemed to be the one who lost?
Obviously before they got married, he had always been in the dominant position in the relationship between the two of them.
How come the positions are reversed once they get married?
Chu Yao was very confused, he couldn't figure out what went wrong, why did he become the passive one?
At this moment, the nanny next to Princess Guan came, saying that she wanted to talk to Chu Yao.
For Princess Guan, Chu Yao has complicated feelings. He longs for attention and love from his mother and concubine, but he ends up disappointed every time.
Now he doesn't count on it anymore, but he can't turn a blind eye to his concubine mother and ignore her. In many things, he is still willing to take her feelings into consideration.
Chu Yao came to the main courtyard, not without accident, he saw Guan Xiuyan who was waiting beside Princess Guan.
Nodding towards Guan Xiuyan, Chu Yao sat down under Princess Guan's hands, and then kept silent.
When Concubine Guan complained to him about the unsatisfactory situation in the palace, she nodded in agreement with "um" and "ah".
Guan Xiuyan saw the usual interaction between mother and child, and felt a little complicated. Whose mother and child would be so unfamiliar?
"Brother Yao, I will eat in the concubine's room later, Xiuyan has prepared the kitchen for your favorite meals early."
Chu Yao gave an 'um', and then said to Suifeng: "Go and tell Madam, come to Mother Concubine for dinner later."
After listening to Sui Feng, he hurriedly went to Rong'an Yuan to spread the word.
Princess Guan was a little unhappy: "What do you call Shi Shi?"
Chu Yao looked at her: "Concubine Mu, she is your daughter-in-law."
Princess Guan: "If I say one thing, she will say three things. I can't bear such a daughter-in-law." After speaking, she took Guan Xiuyan's hand and patted it, "Not at all as obedient as Xiuyan."
Chu Yao's complexion became ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Concubine Mother, Shi Shi is the one my son wants to marry. If you are not satisfied with her, you are not satisfied with me."
Princess Guan actually has a rebellious son named Chu Yao, and when she saw that he was angry, she didn't say anything more.
Guan Xiuyan hurriedly smoothed things over: "Auntie, I see that my cousin is very nice. When she came to pay her respects, was she always smiling?"
Princess Guan snorted immediately: "She is thick-skinned, I'm already stern, but she can still laugh, she really has no eyesight."
Hearing this, Chu Yao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Thick-skinned.
That's right, Shi Liu is thick-skinned and shameless, that's why he dared to tease him.
He was not as shameless as her, that's why he was defeated.
Perhaps, he should be more shameless in the future.
"Brother Yao~"
"Cousin~"
Chu Yao was distracted, Princess Guan and Guan Xiuyan called several times before bringing him back to his senses.
Princess Guan looked at Chu Yao displeasedly: "What are you thinking, so fascinated? It's rare for you to come to see your mother and concubine. When you come, you are still absent-minded."
Guan Xiuyan saw Chu Yao's face darkened again, and quickly talked about the dishes at noon.
"It's really my fault that I don't know what my cousin likes to eat."
Princess Guan immediately said: "She eats what is put on display. With this princess, she doesn't have the right to be picky. To be able to ask her to come over for dinner is already enough to think highly of her."
Chu Yao heard this, and stood up straight away: "My son still has something to do, let's eat with my concubine and my cousin, and I will ask her not to come over from Shi's."
After finishing speaking, she left quickly without waiting for Princess Guan to say anything.
"This rebel!"
Princess Guan was so angry that she pointed at Chu Yao's back with shaking fingers: "What kind of fate am I? To give birth to a son, marry a daughter-in-law and forget my mother, it would be better not to give birth to him."
Guan Xiuyan was also taken aback by Chu Yao's reaction. She knew that her cousin had feelings for her aunt, but she also knew that her cousin cared about her. These years, because her cousin didn't return home often, she couldn't serve her aunt. How much did she feel for her? I feel a little guilty.
In this case, as long as it doesn't involve major matters, as long as it has nothing to do with other people in the palace, my cousin will hardly contradict my aunt.
But today, I made an exception for my cousin!
People outside said that her cousin married her cousin because of the situation. After getting married, she didn't see how much her cousin valued her cousin, but is this really the case?
If you don't care, why would your cousin speak out to defend her when my aunt said something bad about her cousin? How could the aunt shake her face and leave on the spot when she showed her contempt for her cousin?
Cousin should like cousin-in-law very much, right?
Chu Yao, who left the main courtyard, has calmed down now.
Chu Yao still knows about his mother and concubine.
Mother and concubine's thoughts are all in the back house of the palace, and she regards her husband as the sky, not only demanding herself with the three obediences and four virtues, but also demanding others.
Shiliu's temperament can be said to not meet her imagination and requirements for her daughter-in-law at all.
The two didn't fight each other, and he was mentally prepared before getting married.
But he would never find a wife according to his concubine's request. Therefore, knowing that his concubine was defeated in the confrontation with Shiliu, while he was grateful, he could only try his best to appease her concubine's emotions.
It was his mistake today. He wanted his mother and concubine Shi Liu to have more contact with each other so that they could accept each other, but now he understands that the two should keep as little contact as possible in order to live in peace.
After some introspection, Chu Yao went back to Rong'an Yuan, and when he was about to reach the courtyard, he suddenly patted his head.
Being molested by Shi Liu, he actually forgot about business.
At the beginning of the year, people from all walks of life came to Shi Liu. He thought that something happened to Hong Yanxiao. In the past few months, he had been waiting for Shi Liu to come to him for help, but there was no movement from Shi Liu!
So, he asked someone to check on Hong Yanxiao, and found that there was no serious problem with Hong Yanxiao, it was just a small matter, and he was not needed at all.
This shows that he thought wrong before.
But, Hong Yanxiao is fine, so what is the purpose of that Jianghu man coming to find Shiliu?
