Strategy for Rebirth of the Daughter

136 But now it's time for me to look for a few good concubines

On the sixth day of August, the clear blue sky was clear and cloudless.

In the Xiangyu Pavilion in the big room of Sufu, young grandmother Chu was dressing in front of the bronze mirror. Xia Tong, the maidservant behind her, chose a red treasure stacked red gold hairpin and inserted in the complicated hair bun. She was bending down to choose a hairpin. Chu held her hand. "That's it, Mrs. Yi has always been plain."

Xia Tong also withdrew his hand and looked carefully at the bun before retreating.

At this time, Su Heyu, who had just woken up, came down from the bed, and another maid Xia Lei hurried over to dress him. Su and Yu saw that Chu's clothes were different from usual today and asked, "What's the matter today?"

Chu smiled and said, "Yes, yesterday Yifu specially sent an invitation to ask the ladies to enjoy the flowers today." He came over and took the white jade belt in Xia Lei's hand and tied it to Su Heyu. "My husband just came back the day before yesterday. Let's rest at home."

Su Heyu heard the words, tidy up his sleeves and paused, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Yifu, Yifu has always disliked these. Why do you suddenly want to hold a flower appreciation banquet? What's more, the flowers have withered at this time. What's there to reward?"

"I heard that the peach blossoms in the Falling Flower Pavilion of Miss Mu in Yifu are still blooming beautifully, which is a strange thing in the capital." Chu helped him fasten his belt, returned to the sandalwood table and sat down, and asked casually, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

Although Chu's tone of this sentence is indifferent, it has a little intention to explore.

However, Su Heyu quickly covered a little complexity when she turned around, and then smiled elegantly, "Since there are peach blossoms to enjoy in this season, let's go and have a look." After saying that, he sat down beside Chu.

Chu glanced at Su Heyu, who had no abnormal look, and then relieved and began to eat seriously.

After breakfast, Su and Yu took the Chu family to the front yard and entered the main hall. Only then the two found that the girls in Su's house had arrived. Chu's curved mouth a few steps forward to worship Mrs. Su, which is a kind of greeting.

It's just that as usual, Chu got up and was ready to sit aside, but this time she didn't expect Mrs. Su to say, "Xuexin, it's been more than a year since you married to Su's mansion. It's nothing to say that this bride hasn't been pregnant for half a year, but after all, she will be talked about by people. The tone stopped, Mrs. Su looked at her daughter-in-law holding her hands tightly and continued,

"You also know that our Sufu is a large family and the most important son, so it is inevitable that I will be more anxious. So a few days ago, I specially invited the imperial doctor in the palace to come over. When I come back from Yifu today, I will let the imperial doctor have a look.

The smile on Chu Xuexin's face began to stiffen a little, and her heart was also full of resentment. After all, these juniors were there. When talking about such things as children, they should have been secretly said. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Su mentioned it in front of everyone that there was no need to worry about her face, but as a daughter-in-law, she could only nodded, "daughter-in-law I know."

"Don't say it every time, you don't care. In the past, I didn't want to give you a concubine to Heyu, but now it's time for me to find a few clever concubines..."

"Mother..." Chu Xuexin's face suddenly changed and she exclaimed in an alarm.

"Mother." Su Heyu's tone was quiet and unhappy.

Mrs Su shook her head and looked a little embarrassed. "He Yu, don't think you haven't rested in the main room for half a year. I don't know. How can I, a mother, not know what you people are thinking? Princess Zhaohua has passed away for more than a year. Even if you have some nostalgia in your heart, it's just a woman. It's not a year and a half. You should know that your wife now is Chu Xuexin.

"Mother, children know how to behave and have children, which is also something that can't be forced. As for concubines, the child will never agree. Su Heyu's eyes were already a little frosty, and his face was also cold, and he almost threw away his sleeves.

Chu Xuexin listened to Su Heyu's words and was still a little disappointed when she heard the first half of the sentence, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she felt a little happy. After all, it was the most difficult thing for a man not to take a concubine.

"Well, as long as you think more about Sufu. Mother didn't mean to force you. Mrs. Su picked up a sip of the teacup, put it down and turned her words, "Today's flower appreciation banquet, Mrs. Yi can no longer understand what she means. She just wants to find a suitable girl for Yi Xiao. You are all smarter. After all, Yifu is also at its top of the day, and Yi Xiao is the only male heir of Yifu.

Su Hewei and Su You are the only unmarried girls left in the Su family. Su Hewei just bowed their heads from beginning to end. Su Heyou was still more lively and responded with a smile, "He Youran will not humiliate Su Fu."

"That's good. It's getting late. Let's go." Mrs. Su slowly stood up. Of course, Chu Xuexin, as her daughter-in-law, would go to help her. Mrs. Su took Chu's hand and said, "Don't blame me for mentioning this in front of so many people. I'm also for your own good."

Chu could only reluctantly smile when she heard the words, "My daughter-in-law understands."

Several people got into the carriage together, and the carriage swaying to Yifu. After the carriage arrived at Yifu, they found that there were many people coming to Yifu today.

Chu helped Mrs. Yi get out of the carriage. Mrs. Yi looked at the people who kept coming in and out and couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Yi is also the most popular son in the capital now, and these people don't see if they are enough to squeeze in."

Chu was about to speak, but Mrs. Chu had come over, and Chu Xuexin's words turned to "Mother."

"Xuexin, why are you dressed so plainly today? This Yifu is not a funeral." The enmity between Chufu and Yifu has always been puzzled. Mrs. Chu's cynicism has become accustomed to it in the eyes of others.

Naturally, Mrs. Su couldn't hear others talk about her mother's family, and her face darkened slightly. "Mrs. Chu should pay attention to what she said."

"My mother-in-law has a lot, and I'm just saying it casually. There is no malice." Mrs. Chu covered her mouth as if nothing had happened, and then took Mrs. Su's arm affectionately, "Let's go in."

According to the friendship between Yifu and Chufu, Mrs. Yi did not invite Chufu, but because it was an invitation written by Mu Xilan herself, Mrs. Yi did not look at it, which made all the wives very confused.

The moment Mrs. Yi saw Mrs. Chu, her eyes were also gently puzzled, and Mu Xilan next to her saw Mrs. Chu holding Mrs. Su in, but the corners of her mouth were more curved.

"I hope my aunt will not blame Xilan for making her own decisions and invite Mrs. Chu here."

Mrs. Yi is also such a narrow-minded person, smiling kindly, "My aunt knows what's the purpose of inviting her." After saying that, he naturally greeted him, "Although the sun is still weak now, after sitting in the carriage for so long, my sister and Mrs. Chu are about to go in and drink flower tea."

"Flower tea? It's peach blossom tea. Mrs. Chu also asked happily.

"Yes, it's some peach blossom tea specially made by Xi Run. The master and Dad tasted it very well, so today I took it out for entertaining." Mrs. Yi walked on the other side of Mrs. Su and mentioned Mu Xi's eyebrows.

Mrs Yi followed Mrs. Yi's eyes and looked at Mu Xiran. She only looked at Mu Xiran's moon-white white gauze skirt today. There are still few people wearing this moon white among girls, because if there is no fairy spirit, it will only make others laugh.

However, Mu Xiran wears this moon white to set off a few more beautiful and refined, coupled with the bright moon-like eyes and elegant and exquisite facial features, so that the smile at the corners of his mouth is comparable to the empty valley orchid quietly blooming.

"In the past, I just felt that Miss Mu was very quiet, but today I found that Miss Mu actually compared these young ladies in the capital." Mrs. Chu's voice was not small, which was just heard by many women in the yard.

Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Chu's words fell, the women's wives looked sideways at Mu Xilan. Of course, their eyes were not only jealous, hatred, disdain, and envy. Anyway, every look was a little cold.

Mrs. Yi's eyes darkened when she heard the words. Mrs. Chu was not a compliment. She clearly pushed Mu Xilan to the tip of the storm and was hated, and then looked at Mu Xilan with some worry.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xilan, who was praised, smiled like a breeze and bent her knees to Mrs. Chu. "Xilan can be praised by Mrs. Chu, which is also Xilan's blessing. It's just that the woman's appearance is just a pair of skins. Of course, she is not as good as talent.

"Miss Xi'an said this very well." Chu Yunjin stepped briskly over the threshold and came to Mu Xilan with a smile.

Mu Xiran nodded slightly, "Xiran took Miss Chu to the Falling Flower Pavilion."

Chu Yunjin's beautiful facial features give people a delicate atmosphere, but the tone of the mouth is like a light spring breeze, warm. "I have never seen peach blossoms that do not fall in summer all year round. You must take a good look today. I don't know who planted Miss Mu's peach blossoms?"

"It was my uncle who fell by himself." When Mu Xiran finished answering, she suddenly thought that Chu Yunjin thought that Prince Jing'an planted it for her, so she shook her head and continued to say, "Even her uncle can't figure out what's going on."

"That's really strange." Hearing this, Chu Yunjin couldn't wait to see those peach trees.

There were also several women who had not left the cabinet, and several people followed them to talk about it.

After arriving at the Falling Flower Pavilion, Chu Yunjin walked into the yard with his skirt and looked at the peach-pink petals. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He even ran to the peach tree and touched the peach petals. "Sure enough... it's true."

"Is it possible that Miss Chu thinks that Xilan is lying to everyone?" Mu Xiruan also said jokingly, and then handed Nianhua a look and asked her to greet the woman to sit down.
