First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 183 Enlargement Move

  The burial ground of Gu’s family is located in a feng shui treasure site south of the capital. It is said that his wife, wife, grandfather and grandfather made their fortune nearby.

  The Gu family’s real prince-appointment started from the generation of the old princes, and after three generations of hereditary, they began to be reduced to nobility. In short, Gu Changqing will be the last generation of the Marquis of the Marquis. If he does not make great contributions, then his son will become an earl, his grandson will become a viscount, his great-grandson will become a baron, and his great-great-grandson will become ordinary common people. .

  Of course, in Zhaoguo, there are also hundreds of years of prosperous tribes like Dingguo Gongfu and Zhuangjia, who have come out in large numbers and have a solid status.

  Yao got up early, and she wore a plain white skirt with cinnamon sticks around the waist, an apricot-colored pipa-breasted jacket, and did not wear any gold hairpins and silver ornaments, only two white hostacles.

  The little maid brought the rouge box.

  Yao waved his hand: "There is no need for powder."

  She is going to the grave, not visiting.

   "Yes." The little maid took the rouge box and withdrew angrily.

   "The sky is gloomy, I'm afraid it's not going to snow again." The maternal mother came in from the outside and rubbed her stiff veteran hands, "Madam, this body is too thin, put on the cloak."

   "Hmm." Yao nodded, wearing a white satin cloak.

  The dressing up of this body is carefully chosen and you can't make mistakes.

  The mother of the room was afraid that she would freeze her body, so she prepared a few soup ladies and warmed her hands.

  When the Yao family came to the gate with rabbit fur warming their hands, the three brothers Gu Changqing also came from their yards.

  Gu Changqing's expression remained unchanged.

  The faces of Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin are not very good-looking.

  Gu Chenglin glanced at Yao coldly, and hummed: "Auntie is also true, why should we let her come? Isn't it okay for us to worship our mother?"

  Gu Changqing looked at him seriously: "Get in the car."

  Gu Chenglin dissatisfied: "I was right! She killed the mother! She still has the face to go to the grave!

  Gu Chengfeng thought so too, but the eldest brother is here, and he doesn’t want his younger brother to be punished by the eldest brother again.

  He pulled his younger brother's sleeves: "Okay, get on the carriage first. I'll be late for a while, in case it hits the snowy road, it's hard to walk."

   "Huh!" Gu Chenglin stared at Yao with resentment, and got into the carriage with anger.

  Gu Chengfeng got into the same carriage with him.

  Gu Changqing rides a horse.

  The Yao family and the mother-in-law took another carriage, and there were two carriages pulling the sacrifices to the Xiaoling family.

   "Oh, why bother to suffer this grievance?" Madam Fang helped Yao to the stool with distress.

   "Nothing." Yao said.

  She was used to hearing these words a long time ago. At first, she would be distressed and wronged, but now she is numb.

  Ms. Xian was not killed by her.

  She will clean up by herself.

  A little more than an hour later, the group arrived in Dongyue Village. The cemetery was in a mountain forest behind the village.

  Gu Changqing and the three got out of the carriage.

  Yao also got out of the car, she ordered people to take down the sacrifice of Xiaoling, and planned to go to the grave and put a stick of incense on Xiaoling.

  Gu Chenglin stopped her in one step: "I forbid you to worship my mother! You are not worthy!"

  Yao understands, Aunt Ling called her to come here to humiliate her by the hand of her stepson.

  Yao said calmly: "I promised the old lady, I will give the first lady a stick of incense."

"go away!"

  Gu Chenglin stretched out his hand to push the Yao family, and Gu Changqing strode over and grabbed his brother's wrist: "Do you want to make trouble in front of your mother's grave?"

  Gu Chenglin withdrew his hand angrily.

  Yao gave the joss stick and paper money in his hand to Gu Changqing: "Then I won't go there, I will trouble the world to bring my heart."

  Gu Changqing took what she handed over: "Madam, go to the carriage and wait, it's windy outside."

  Yao gave him a weird look, but he cared about her. If he really got to his mother’s grave, did everyone become obedient?

  Yao did not speak, and turned to the carriage.

   "Should not let her follow!" Gu Chenglin muttered.

   "Just say a few words!" Gu Chengfeng said.

  The Hou’s Mansion hired nearby villagers to guard Gu’s ancestral graves, and every grave head was cleaned.

  The three brothers paid homage to the Xiaoling family, and then paid homage to Grandpa and Grandma, and then went to the village as usual.

  Gu’s ancestor is not from Dongyue Village, but he has been blessed by the local villagers. In these years, Gu’s ancestral grave is also very well protected thanks to the guards of the villagers.

  Yao brought the gifts on the carriage to the villagers one by one.

  In previous years, it was Aunt Ling who did this. The villagers thought Aunt Ling was the real wife of the Gu family. When they first saw Yao, they asked her if she was the aunt of the house, but she was angry with the mother.

  This is Aunt Ling's second move.

   Borrowing the unintentional words of the villagers to add to her.

  Yao wants to laugh.

  Aunt Ling has never been a mother, and she doesn’t understand that for a mother, she can break the curse that her son will not live for fifteen, and then recognize her own flesh and blood. She has nothing to ask for in her entire life.

  After visiting the folks, it was getting late, and it was time for them to go home.

  It didn't take long for them to embark on the return journey, and the sky really snowed.

  There was no meal at noon, and several people were hungry and cold. Yao asked the maid to send a box of snacks to the three brothers.

  Gu Chenglin said: "I don't eat what she makes!"

  Gu Changqing frowned complicatedly.

  "Brother, it's snowing outside, come and sit in the carriage." Gu Chengfeng said to Gu Changqing.

  Gu Changqing said lightly: "No need."

  People who are marching and fighting, how can they care about such a bit of wind and snow?

   "Madam, they don't eat." The little maid brought back the snack.

   "Forget it." Yao took the snack box back.

  In fact, she didn't make it by herself, so she was not so kind to rush to make snacks for several stepsons, which she brought from the house.

  She ate two pieces by herself. Recently, she has not had a good appetite, so she didn't eat more, so she gave them to the maid and the little maids.

  The snowy weather slowed down the journey of the carriage. There were no decent restaurants in this wild countryside, and Gu Chenglin couldn't appreciate the food in the ordinary tea shed. So the three brothers went all the way to the city hungry.

On the only way back to the Hou Mansion, there is a family selling crispy duck. Gu Chenglin usually likes to eat its ducks. Today I have been hungry for so long and I can’t help it anymore. He said to Gu Changqing, “Brother, I’ll be quick I'm hungry! Let's go in and eat something!"

  Gu Changqing looked at the two younger brothers who were really hungry, nodded, and rode his horse to Yao's carriage: "Shall we go back to the house after eating something?"

  Yao is not hungry, but she is indeed exhausted after riding in the carriage for a day.

  The group got out of the carriage and asked for two wing rooms on the second floor, one for the three brothers and one for the Yao family.

  Yao did not eat anything by himself, so he ordered a table of food for the mother and the entourage.

  The room was so boring, she happened to want to go to the toilet a little bit again, so she went to the Gongfang on the back of the first floor.

When    came out and walked towards the lobby, a man’s voice suddenly stopped her: "Yao'er?"

  The voice Yao hadn't heard for many years, but he still recognized it all at once.

  Yao's complexion changed, and he turned around in a daze.

   "Yao'er, it's really you!"

  A man in a navy blue shirt walked over in a stride. He was in his thirties. He was born with clean, handsome and handsome, not as burly as Mr. Gu Hou, but also tall.

  The Yao family recovered a bit, but when the man approached her, she stepped back with self-denial and courtesy.

  The man's expression darkened, and then he said: "I am abrupt. I haven't seen you for so many years. I was so excited that I almost forgot the etiquette. Please forgive me!"

   As he said, he bowed his hands and made a sigh.

  Yao drew sideways, and did not accept his courtesy: "Don't be like this."

  The man looked at Yao with complicated eyes: "Yao'er, how have you been all these years? I heard that you are married to the Ding'an Hou Mansion. How good is the Lord Hou?"

  Yao looked down and said: "I'm fine."

  The man smiled in relief: "I'm relieved if you say that."

  Then the two were speechless, and the scene was once very embarrassing.

  Yao squeezed the veil and said, "I'm leaving."

   "Ah..." The man's eyes flashed a touch of disappointment, "My mother, she often asks about you."

  Yao’s steps.

  The man smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I have been married in recent years, and I have my own wife and children, I'm sorry."

  Yao closed his eyes and said, “It was the Yao family who retired first, so I should be said to be sorry. You don’t have to blame yourself.”

  The man said sadly: "My mother, she had a stroke a year ago, but she didn't feel better after that. Recently, she was always confused and chanting your name in her mouth."

  The two families have always been in contact. The marriage between Yao family and the man was decided very early. The man’s mother was very satisfied with Yao family. Every day, she hoped that this daughter-in-law could leave the house earlier, saying that she would be treated as her own daughter.

  It's a pity that this marriage has been disturbed after all.

  It's not so much the oppression of Gu Houye, as it is the deliberate flattery of the Yao family.

  I have been angry, hated, and annoyed, and now I am at peace.

"You..." The man scratched his head embarrassedly. "That might be too abrupt, and I really didn't expect to meet you here, but since I did, I still want to ask you... can you go and see See my mother for the last time?"

  His mother is going to die soon, the doctor said it’s been the past few days.

  But his mother has been reluctant to close her eyes.

   His mother is in pain, and he is also uncomfortable.

  He looked at the Yao family, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I, a son, didn't give her a day of prosperity and wealth. I don't want to be here, but I can't even satisfy one of her wishes..."

  Yao had a marriage contract with him after all, so it is reasonable to avoid suspicion.

  But his mother did treat Yao as her own. She was a very kind woman, and Yao could still feel the warmth in her heart even when she thinks of it.

  If she married him back then, her life might be very different from now.

   "Where do you live?" Yao asked.

  The man’s eyes lit up: "Did you agree?"

  Yao paused: "I will think about it, maybe I will go."

   "Ah, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you can't go! I live in Qingfeng Street, Qingyue District..." The man reported his address.

  Yao did not expect that he would live in such a poor place.

   "I'm leaving first." Yao Shi said to him.

   "Hey! You, you go slowly!" The man looked at Yao with excitement.

  Yao entered the lobby and went upstairs.

  Over there, the three Gu family brothers finished eating, and the group got into the carriage and returned to their home.

  Yao first went to Mrs. Gu to recover. She heard that there was nothing wrong on the way, Mrs. Gu was very pleased.

Gu Houye asked Huang Zhong to go back to his house to send a message to the Yao family. There was a conflict between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. Mr. Gu Houye is currently dealing with urgent affairs in the Ministry of Industry. Wait for him.

  Yao is disturbed in the house.

  As long as she closes her eyes, she can think of Zhen Shi, her former mother-in-law in the future.

   "The housemaid."

   "Madam, what's the matter?" Madam Fang opened the curtain and came in.

  Yao put on a coat: "Prepare the carriage, I'll go out."

   "It's so late, where are the madam going? The eldest lady and the little son should stop now." The mother Fang thought that the Yao family was going to Bishui Hutong.

  Yao said: "Don't ask so much, find a driver who speaks tightly."

  The room nurse opened her mouth: "...Huh."

  Yao came to Zhen's house in a carriage.

  She knocked off the painted courtyard door.

   "Who--"

   is the voice of a woman.

  Yao did not speak.

  The gate of the courtyard creaked open, and walked out a plainly dressed woman who described premature aging. The woman was about the same age as the Yao family, but she looked more than ten years older than the Yao family.

  Yao guessed her identity, opened her mouth, and was about to say who she was, when she heard the woman turned her head and said to the room: "The owner, there are guests here!"

  Zhen Ping walked out quickly.

  When he saw Yao, he was surprised at first, and then walked forward with joy: "It's cold outside, come in and warm up the fire!" He said to his wife, "It's Madam Hou."

  The woman owed Yao's body.

  Yao nods slightly.

  Obviously, the woman had heard of the Yao family a long time ago. She wittily took the half-washed clothes from the front yard to the backyard, and then never appeared in front of the Yao family.
