Chapter 44:

He Niangzi wiped her tears, and suddenly felt an itch in her throat, and then she coughed behind her.
He Shaoting's eyes were full of anxiety, but there was nothing he could do, but he had to return home quickly to bring her warm water.
Mrs. He took a few sips of water after taking the white porcelain cup that he handed over, only to feel that her throat was finally a lot more comfortable. Seeing him looking at himself with anxiety, he could not help patting the back of his hand lovingly: "Don't worry, my aunt is fine."
"Um." He Shaoting lowered his head to conceal the tears in his eyes, and echoed in a snoring voice.
Mrs. He could only pretend she didn't hear his nasal sound, with a smile: "Aunt suddenly wanted to eat the little meat porridge made by Brother Ting!"
"I'll do it for you now." He Shaoting quickly wiped a tear.
"No urgency, I'm not hungry at the moment, I'll talk to all the guests. But my brother Ting is so competent, capable, and capable of chopping tea and boiling water for cooking. Which girl has such a blessing. "He Niangzi pretended to be relaxed.
The teenager was thin-skinned, and blushed at the aunt's joking remarks, and said mosquito-likely: "I'm still young ..."
Mrs. He teased: "Are you young now? Who said yesterday that she had grown up and could take up a family?"
He Shaoting blushed and creaked, but couldn't say a few words of refutation.
Mrs. He couldn't hide her straight smile, and the young man smiled even lowered his head, and his ears became red.
"Just before you, Agenji, told me that someone from Beijing had sought you in the past two or three years, as if it was a letter or something. I wondered whether Xu was the youngest son of the Tang government. Letter to him? "Shao asked, she narrowed her smile.
He Shaoting froze for a moment, remembering the child who could lie quietly under the tree and poke at the ant's nest, as well as the crippled little girl.
After leaving from Beijing that year, they did not return here, but went to the old house of He family, and later went to visit Anping County to worship the mother-in-law. At the aunt's insistence, his mother's grave in Anping County was moved back to He's ancestor's grave, and Aunt Tian was also placed in a cemetery not far from He's ancestor's grave.
This may be contrary to the meaning of his aunt, but after all, his surname is He, and his mother is also a member of the He family, so he should be buried in the tomb of He's ancestor.
He lowered his eyes, a faint smile on his lips, but finally shook his head: "No need."
Mrs. He's answer to him was not too unexpected: "That's fine."
"Hey sister-in-law, congratulations! Hey? This is your nephew? I haven't seen you in years and have grown so big?" A guest who came late came to Daoxi, and when she saw the upright teenager beside her, how many Was surprised.
"Thank you, thank you, isn't it my nephew. Children, they always grow faster, as if they don't blink, they grow so big." Mrs. He smiled and chuckled.
He Shaoting has been following her closely, watching her all the time, and seeing the exhaustion on her face, she quickly rushed forward to help her to rest for a while, and then greeted the guests on her behalf.
Looking at the teenager who obviously didn't like to talk and didn't like to contact people, he was trying to greet the guests by learning her appearance, and pretending to be calm to endure the various jokes of the guests.
She sighed lowly, only to think that her undisputable younger brother could have such a son, but it was really a blessing from previous lives. Even if the child's blood was not the blood of the He family.
Suddenly she felt an uncomfortable itch in her throat. She covered her mouth with a pat and coughed. After this cough passed, she slowly looked at the pat in her hand, and a spot of bright red blood appeared suddenly in the center of the original white pat.
"Aunt." The teenager came with a husky voice. She hurriedly closed her palms, covered the blood on the parchment, and cast her eyes on the inquiry.
"Aunt, the guests are all gone. I'll make a little meat porridge for you. Would you like to go back to the house and rest for a while? I'll call you when I have cooked the porridge?" He Shaoting could not see anything strange in his face.
"No need, I can just sit here for a while, if you are busy, please go!" He Niangzi said softly.
He Shaoting was not reluctant, and went to the stove when he answered.
It wasn't until the boy's slightly thin figure could no longer see him that he lowered her head and stared at the blood on Pa for a long time.
The daughter is married, and the son-in-law is a sincere child. The two live in earnest, and she has nothing to worry about. The only thing he was worried about was the brother Tinger. Although the two were nominally nephews, she had treated him like a relative in recent years, and the child was also sensible.
No, it's just too sensible to teach her distressed.
If she is gone and sister Fang has her own family, what should the child do next? Will there be a good girl to take care of him in the future?
In the stove room, He Shaoting lowered his head and scoured the rice. "Tickling", tears fell into the water. He rubbed his hands with rice grains, and the sound of clapping water covered the unstoppable ‘tick and tick’.
After he had cooked the porridge, he put it in a porcelain bowl and placed it in Shuili Town. After the temperature was moderate, he went to look for Mrs. He, but found that Mrs. He was sitting and dozing on the teacher's chair in the main hall.
"Auntie, auntie, the porridge is cooked. Auntie, aunt ..." He first pushed the arm of the woman and whispered softly, but unexpectedly, the woman who had not been asleep had no response.
His heart was tight, he pushed with a little force, and his voice trembled and called: "Aunt, wake up soon, I've cooked the porridge. Aunt, get up quickly, don't sleep anymore, if you go to sleep again, porridge will be It's cold, aunt ... "
He responded to Mrs. He's obscure breath.
His cries grew louder and his hands shivered: "Aunt, aunt ..."
After a short while, Lady He's eyelids trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. Then she heard the teenager in front crying suddenly, crying, and said, "How can you sleep so heavily, you're going to scare me to death. , The porridge is cooked, you have n’t woke up to eat ... "
Mrs. He froze for a long time, and gently patted her knees in front of herself, crying like a child's nephew: "What a silly child, what are you crying for? Your aunt is too tired, so she sleeps a little bit, I didn't hear Tingge's voice for a while. Didn't you say that the porridge was cooked? The aunt just felt hungry, and went to take her to taste it, to see if Ting's craftsmanship has improved. "
He Shaoting wiped a tear indiscriminately, ‘um’, and stared at her for a while without worrying, and then stepped back to the prepared porridge.
Three days later, Sister Fang returned to the door, looked at her ruddy complexion, and looked at the sight of her son-in-law Ge Qingyun from time to time. The smile on Mrs. He's face deepened a bit, and Dashi finally fell completely in her heart.
Taking advantage of her newly-wed husband's opportunity to speak with his mother, Sister Fang took He Shaoting aside and whispered about his mother's physical condition these days.
He Shaoting pretended to be relaxed and relaxed: "Sister rest assured, Xu is because my sister got a good brother-in-law, my aunt has been a lot better these days. On the day you got married, she asked me to cook her a little meat porridge!"
"That's it." Sister Fang finally smiled slightly on her face.
He Shaoting looked at her with a slight smile, but her smile was lower than her eyes, but unfortunately, Fang did not notice it, and walked briskly towards her mother-in-law and husband.
He Shaoting lowered his eyes, concealing the faint tears in his eyes.
Ge Qingyun in that compartment choked and promised in a low voice: "Mother, please be assured, as soon as I marry Fanger, her brother is naturally my brother too. Even if I lose one meal, they will never lose their sister. Brother's. "
He Niangzi sighed, and finally a relieved smile bloomed on her face.
After Ge Qingyun and her sister Fang left, He Shaoting never dared to leave He Niangzi for a long time, and she took care of her, but she could only see that the spirit of He Niangzi was getting worse day by day. It is difficult to wake up once.
Finally, one morning six months later, no matter how he cried, Madam He never opened her eyes to look at him again.
After finishing Mrs. He's funeral, He Shaoting packed her luggage silently, and followed behind the Ge Qingyun couple out of this long-living home.
His face was blank as he watched the door locked.
Really can't keep it? Grandmother, mother-in-law, aunt, and aunt ...

Also in this year, the empress put on the agenda for the prince Zhao Yuande to choose a concubine. Every day, there are many fatal wives dedicated to bring the best in their house, and the daughter who is similar to the prince frequently enters Fengzao Palace .
Xu Yanyao sat in the gazebo of Fengzao Palace, watching the girls like fairies who came in and out, could not help but touch the five princesses around her: "Is there any candidate in the queen's heart?"
The five princesses were solving the Nine Consecutives, and they said without hesitation, "Yes, my mother prefers sister Wan Jing, and my father also thinks that sister Wan Jing is more suitable."
"What about your princely emperor? Do you also like sister Wanjing?" Xu Yanyao asked again.
"Brother Prince ... I don't know. Sister Wan Jing is so good looking and beautiful, Brother Prince should also like it!" Five Princesses replied casually.
Xu Yanyao didn't agree.
In her last life, she spent a few years in Zhao Yuande's East Palace. As for her pet, Xu Wanjing, who is a princess, is far less than Prince Peng Yuqi. However, with the support of the empress behind Xu Wanjing, the prince could no longer maintain her decent status as a concubine, but it was limited to this.
But Peng Yuqi ...
She thought about the Peng Yuqi she knew in her life. She was as dignified and graceful as Xu Wanjing. It was really difficult to associate her with the charming and bold Peng Liangzhang of her last life.
However, she thought again that being a wife is not the same as being a concubine. It is often said that a good wife is beautiful, and Peng Yuqi is also a daughter of Hou Men, and urinating is cultivated according to the standards of a normal room.
But unfortunately, the heavens did not comply with the wishes of others, and in the end she could only surrender to Xu Wanjing and became the prince's good wife.
Although the prince's good wife is nice, it can only be the prince's wife in the final analysis.
"It's not fun anymore, it's not fun at all." After solving the nine serials for so long, the five princesses were finally impatient, and stood up and pulled Xu Yanyao, "Xiao Tang Tang, let's Go and practice your whip! "
Since the five-year-old Xu Yanyao stunned a few princesses and their companions, the five princesses also clamored to learn to whip her. Xu Yanyao certainly wouldn't refuse, but unfortunately, although she could use the whip to make a fuss, she could be taught ... after all, it was half-hanging.
However, the five princesses didn't care, and every day when they got free, they took a whip and slammed 'crack'. The destroyed flowers, plants, tables, chairs and chairs were countless, and it also caused the queen a headache.
However, Emperor Tianxi smiled when he learned of it, only to say that the little girl was embarrassed to avoid eyebrows. However, this is not a major event, so please ask a master Hao Sheng to teach.
Also because of the words of the emperor, Xu Yanyao and the five princesses were able to play the whip with the master brightly and honestly. Xu Yanyao, who was already quite skilled, benefited the most. She originally taught herself to be a "cai", although she threw the whip It looks decent, but after all, there are a lot of flaws. After some guidance from a famous teacher, the little girl's ability to shake the whip is leaps and bounds.
What makes her most happy is that because the emperor spoke, the whip in her hand was given to her by the five princesses. No matter how dissatisfied Tang Songnian and Ruan were, she could not confiscate her 'weapon', nor could she Stop her from practicing her whip, and teach Ruan to feel like remorse.
I thought that when I entered the palace and learned the rules, the temperamental little girl could converge a little, but she did not expect that she would intensify. Not only that, but now she can ‘practice the whip for the purpose’ and teach people to do nothing about her.
Xu Yanyao allowed the five princesses to pull herself away from Fengzao Palace, but did not expect to just walk out of the palace door, and saw Xu Wanjing coming over.
Two years ago, Xu Wanjing's grandfather Xu Lingling died of illness, and Xu Fu's status in central Beijing was not as good as before. At this moment, the empress queen chose the concubine for the prince, and the Xu family will pin her hopes on her. Won the crown prince in one fell swoop.
Xu Wanjing herself is also a must-have for the crown prince. In the past few years, her etiquette has become more and more comprehensive. She can not only show the style of famous maids everywhere, but also make people feel good.
At this moment, when I saw the five princesses and Xu Yanyao, she stepped forward with a smile, and first performed a standard palace ceremony towards the five princesses. She spoke a few words with the five princesses while being familiar and close. He did not ignore Xu Yanyao, it really made people feel good.
"I looked at Sister Yao as if she had grown a little taller. If she was at this speed, she would be a very tall girl in the future." She took Xu Yanyao's hand and looked up and down softly.
Xu Yanyao nodded with a smile.
"It has grown taller and thinner, and it is not as lovely as it used to be. How good would it be if it was as fat as before!" The five princesses sighed suddenly, with a pity in her face.
Xu Yanyao only did not hear.
Xu Wanjing was a little funny, but for a moment she was very envious of the relationship between the two. Much better than their princesses and companions.
I know when I came out, I drifted to the five princesses and stared at her with her hands folded, "No, Yaoyao used to be cute, but she is also cute now! She will always be cute in the future!"
Xu Yanyao looked at her and knew that she was learning the action of the five princesses, but she was helpless.
The world often says, ‘near Zhu Zhuchi, near Mo Zhehe’, in the palace in recent years, Yan Yan has not learned anything, but he has learned a lot of strange things with the five princesses.
Xu Wanjing smiled and said to the five princesses: "Sister Yao was chubby and cute before, but now she looks so slender. Doesn't it look like a little fairy?"
The five princesses took a hard look at her companion reading, and stroking her jaw seemed to be pondering. It took a moment to reluctantly say, "Okay, it's pretty."
Xu Yanyao wanted to give her a glance.
Anyway, she didn't know how satisfied she was with her current figure, and it was no longer a pinch like before, so slim and handsome, even better than her previous life.
Of course, it can't be ruled out that Yan Yan has done strange things with her face all her life all day long, and has unknowingly affected her judgment on the appearance of her last life.
But these are not important, what is important is that when she grows up, she will be a beautiful beauty! She thought so sweetly.
The three walked forward with a smile, Xu Wanjing didn't talk much, but occasionally, she could stir up the words of the five princesses again, which led her to talk happily for a while.
Xu Yanyao continued to pretend to be innocent and cute with the five princesses' crazy words, so the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
"His Royal Highness, please stay, my daughter's sleeves are caught by the flower branches, and I dare not lose sight of Her Highness." Suddenly, I don't know where the woman's pleasant voice came from. Xu Yanyao first recognized it and soon recognized the voice. The owner is Peng Yuqi, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Your Highness? Could it be ... Prince?
Sure enough, the next moment, she heard the words of Prince Zhao Yuande again.
"Sister Yuqi laughed and laughed. The younger sister has a unique appearance and she has a lot of demeanor. Would she lose her grace because her sleeve was caught by a flower branch?"
"His Royal Highness ..." Peng Yuqi's bitter words came again. Xu Yanyao subconsciously glanced at Xu Wanjing, seeing that the smile on her face had already froze, and her eyes were even more annoyed.
She glanced down at her tangling her hands, shaking her head invisibly.
In the end, it's still young and not enough time! When Peng Yuqi flirted with the prince in front of her, she could not change her face, and that was the real practice.
After the prince and Peng Yuqi's footsteps drifted away, the five princesses suddenly woke up as if they had dreamed at first: "The prince prince prefers sister Yuqi!"
Xu Yanyao successfully saw Xu Wanjing's face a bit ugly, and even a little dim in her eyes?
If she was thinking, could Xu Wanjing already have an admiration for the prince? If so, then it is no wonder that in the last life of her last life, she would suffer in the hands of Peng Yuqi.
The most important thing in the dispute between the harem and the back house is the infatuation with men. The more deeply rooted the feelings, the more unable to calmly deal with all bad intentions, and if you fail to calm down, you will not lose Far.
However, Peng Yuqi surprised her a little. I didn't expect that she started from the Prince earlier. It seems that she also knew that the emperor was more interested in Xu Wanjing, but she was unwilling and wanted to compete again. Stay strong.
Xu Wanjing also quickly cleared her mood, and smiled again on her face: "Let's go! I heard that the tea in the palace of the five princesses is unique, and I'm cheeky to disturb a cup today."
The five princesses said with a smile: "If you don't say one cup, ten cups are fine."
After another month, Emperor Tianxi officially decided to hire the eldest daughter Xu Shangbo, the eldest daughter of the prince Zhao Yuande, and Xu Wanjing, the eldest daughter of the concubine, and the eldest daughter of Ping Yuqi, the eldest daughter of Corning, as the prince's good wife.
After the selection of the Crown Princess and the Prince Liangliang, the number of Gong's internal servants equipped in the East Palace should naturally increase accordingly. The Queen chose more than ten of the palace ladies who had just entered the palace the previous year to fill the East Palace. Teach them the rules.
Xu Yanyao and the five princesses sat next to the queen one by one. You and the two coaxed the queen one by one, and the coquettish words only made the queen smile.
"Mother-in-law, female official Fang Yi is waiting." A palace girl came in to report.
"Xuan."
When Xu Yanyao heard the word "Fangyi", she subconsciously looked at the door, and the familiar and unfamiliar figure appeared at the gate. The face was getting closer and clearer. She once regarded Fang Yi as motherly respectful.
It really comes ...
Her eyes flickered slightly. She didn't have to do anything, she just had to wait quietly, and everything happened like her last life, Tuyi and Fangyi. Will there be a 'Xu Yaoyao' in the near future?
In the early spring of the following year, the prince married his prince, and three months later, the palace received his prince Liang Peng Yuqi. At this time, the frontiers were frequently rumored to return to the capital, teaching Tianxi Emperor not to be angry.
In particular, the Sidi people have repeatedly detained and disturbed the people, and burning and looting have long aroused public anger.

He Shaoting moved the chopped firewood into the firewood room one by one, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, washed his hands, and was about to go to Sister Fang, but heard that there was Sister Fang passing through the house. Her mother-in-law Miao's had a sharp voice.
"Our family is not Kaishantang, so a big kid is eating and drinking here, and he has no face ?!"
"Mother, how can Brother Ting eat nothing for nothing? How capable and capable he is, he sees in his eyes. If he does it alone, he will be worth two adults in our family." Ge Qingyun Little sister-in-law argues.
"He relies on our house, shouldn't he be doing something for us? Is it possible that we can expect him to be offered as a prince? I want you to say that you shouldn't have brought him back. What does Erbu Zeng have to do with you? It is also the man who cares about raising him! "
"The He family is long gone. Where can he be a half-size man? Mother, all say ..."
He turned silently and left.
The next day, Ge Qingyun and sister Fang were teasing her daughter, and saw He Shaoting walk in with joy.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I found a good job."
Sister Fang froze: "What a good job?"
"My sister remembers that I helped a dart master when I was a kid? I do n’t think that the dart master is now the chief dart head. I met him on the street yesterday. He knew I was looking for an errand and asked me if I wanted to Help in his darts? There is a lot of money every month! "
Sister Fang thought that something was happening, and then she heard that there was so much money, and she couldn't help it.
However, Ge Qingyun frowned, and asked a lot of questions uneasily, but He Shaoting's answer taught people that they couldn't pick up any problems. He thought about it and was relieved.
Fortunately, going out on business is better than being accused of stigmatizing at home.
Two days later, after Mr. and Mrs. Ge Qingyun gave away, He Shaoting left the Ge family who had lived less than a year.
When walking far away from Gejia Village, the smile on his face finally narrowed down and looked around blankly.
The world is so big that he doesn't know where to go ...
