Mi Niang told Fang Weiyan what happened in the Jinxiang Marquis's Mansion when he returned, and she said, "It's really inexplicable."
Fang Weiyan smiled and said, "This is probably the trouble of beautiful women. If you were born mediocre, with no talent or looks, you would definitely not be like this."
"If I'm ugly, you won't even look at me?" Mi Niang snorted coldly.
Fang Weiyan said quickly, "How can you say that? I definitely won't. I like you no matter what you are like. It's true. No matter how good-looking a person is, you will get tired of seeing him/her after a few days. The most important thing is what kind of person he/she is."
Mi Niang finally smiled and said, "I like to hear that. No matter how good-looking some people are, I don't like them if they have bad personalities. I don't like men who lose their temper, get angry easily, and boss people around. Fortunately, you have a good temper, otherwise, hmph."
To be honest, it was only after I got married that I realized how great it is to have a husband who doesn't get angry easily. No matter what you do, he will always remain calm. Sometimes he will be anxious, but more often he will find a solution.
Fang Weiyan is certainly not easily angered. If he were so easily angered, he would have died of anger long ago.
He looked at Mi Niang, and sometimes he didn't understand why she was always so energetic, like a person who was always glowing. Whenever he felt tired, he would chat and laugh with her, and all his worries would disappear.
Fang Yaqing's daughter was one month old, and Mi Niang brought her son Xian Ge'er with her. Children really grow up quickly, and just after one month, the Su family's baby was already fair and tender, with no trace of the wrinkled look from the previous month.
"Come, let your aunt hold you." Mi Niang held the little baby in her arms and asked Fang Yaqing, who had just finished her confinement, "Have you chosen a name?"
Fang Yaqing nodded: "Yes, her father gave her the name Sui Sui."
“Is it the peaceful and happy year?”
Fang Yaqing nodded.
Mi Niang thought to herself that Su Ziqing had good intentions. He was the top scholar in the imperial examination and could have chosen any other good name, but he chose Sui Sui, hoping that he would have peace and safety every year. It was just as Su Shi said, "Everyone raises a son hoping that he will be smart, but my intelligence has misled me all my life. I only hope that my child will be stupid and rude, and will become an official without any disaster or trouble."
"Sui Sui, you must grow up well in the future."
Mi Niang murmured.
When Fang Yaqing was in confinement, she was very surprised to hear that Jin Shuhui was the author of "Moon Shadow". She also felt a little aggrieved when she heard that her sister-in-law had come to her house and caused a scene. It turned out that in Jin Shuhui's eyes, she was just a useless person who depended on her parents.
But she didn't want to complain to her sister-in-law today. Seeing that her sister-in-law had put down Sui Sui and was very cautious, she told her sister-in-law about the plan she had discussed with Xu.
"Sister-in-law, we have always had a good relationship. I know you are the best person ever. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Mi Niang had never thought that she would say such a thing out of the blue, and she quickly said, "Sister, you are really too kind."
Fang Yaqing shook her head: "I'm not exaggerating, it's all from my heart."
"I didn't do anything."
Mi Niang didn't know what she meant.
Fang Yaqing finally said, "Sui Sui is more than a year younger than Xian Ge'er. I think they are about the same age, why not get married?"
As a result, before Mi Niang could say anything, Fang Weiyan, who was playing with Xian Ge'er, said, "The children are still young, why are you talking about this? We will talk about the future of the children when they grow up."
From Fang Weiyan's perspective, being too closely related by blood would not be conducive to having offspring, but he knew that others might not believe it, so it was best to decline politely.
Mi Niang also breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she didn't like Suishun, or that she had any opinion about Fang Yaqing, but this way of getting engaged at a young age might not be a good thing, as a person's fate was hard to predict.
Just like last year when Jian Ningchu was engaged to Fang Weijun, the two families visited each other frequently and were very affectionate, but when something happened to the Jian family, the Fang family broke off the engagement.
Furthermore, her father saved Li Guan in his previous life and promised him marriage, but it didn't happen.
If there is really destiny, it cannot be stopped. If there is no destiny, it may not work even if you force it.
Fang Yaqing originally thought that her sister-in-law would have objections, but she didn't expect her brother to say it directly. She felt a little embarrassed because she had already told Su Ziqing about this matter. Su Ziqing was still hesitating at first, and it was she who guaranteed that there was no problem. She didn't expect her brother to refuse it so immediately.
Therefore, she said, "Brother, why do you say that? It must be good for my brother to have you and sister-in-law's guidance. What's wrong with our two families getting closer?"
Fang Weiyan sighed, "My aunt thought the same thing at the beginning. What do you think of you in the future? I am doing this for your own good. I know you have good intentions, but nothing is perfect in this world."
Fang Yaqing blushed at the words.
The reason why she was willing to marry her daughter to her parents' home was that she felt it was secure and her daughter would not be bullied in the future.
But there is nothing perfect in this world.
How can you predict what will happen in the future? We don't even know the children's temperaments now, and we don't know if they are suitable. In Fang Weiyan's previous life, he asked his mother to arrange a marriage for him, which was extremely inappropriate.
It doesn't matter if you are from similar backgrounds, have similar looks, or are both unmarried, you are suitable for each other.
It's not even because you are cousins that you are suitable.
A couple is someone who will spend their whole life together.
He had to live his whole life to find a treasure like Mi Niang, but it was very irresponsible to let the child's life be decided in such a hasty manner.
It doesn't matter if Envy can't find the right person in the future. Fang Weiyan sometimes feels that he is a freak because he doesn't care much about the descendants of the so-called people.
He thought it was probably because he had suffered this kind of pain himself, so he knew that it was better to be alone than to be in a room with people you don't like.
Although I was alone in my previous life, I was free. I could go hiking when I wanted to, swim when I wanted to, and no one cared what I ate.
Although I feel lonely sometimes, most of the time I feel very comfortable.
It is said that raising a son is a way to prepare for old age, but he couldn't stand having a stepson in his previous life.
It was actually a good thing not to worry. He remembered that he was already 60 years old at that time. When he resigned for the last time, Empress Dowager Ruan said, "Fang Qing is still so young."
Although he grew older physically, he remained the same in heart.
It was said that the Empress Dowager had been ill for a long time at that time. However, because the Emperor, although intelligent, had always been in poor health, Empress Dowager Ruan, who had already retired, struggled to hold on.
Therefore, Fang Weiyan always felt sorry for Mi Niang after marrying her.
He was afraid that Yan Ge'er would also be in poor health in the future, so he didn't want him to worry about anything, especially his marriage. He needed to recover from his illness and not be easily moved by love. Otherwise, he would be like him, always happy when Mi Niang was happy, and when Mi Niang was unhappy, he would also be unhappy.
Arranging a marriage so early may not be a good thing for the jealous boy.
Mi Niang didn’t know that Fang Wei Yan was thinking so much. She just felt that this was what she wanted, so she didn’t say much.
Fang Yaqing was in a dilemma. After the guests left, she mentioned the matter to Su Ziqing. Su Ziqing was also a wise man and could not help but say, "Maybe he felt that it was not good to say anything now. Besides, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of the rope for ten years."
Speaking of this, Fang Yaqing also thought of her younger brother who had just broken off the engagement with the Jian family. In fact, her husband had some opinions about this.
He has always valued friendship and loyalty, so he naturally couldn't get used to the scene of the Marquis's family breaking off the engagement, which resulted in the girl being exiled to the Jiaofangsi, which was not a good place.
Fang Yaqing was also embarrassed when she heard this.
But I also feel that this is not my mother's fault. After all, given the situation of the Jian family, if my younger brother marries her, he will automatically have no chance of getting the title.
"I want to sleep with my mother." Xian Ge'er has been with his mother all day and is so tired that he can't even close his eyes, but he still wants to sleep with Mi Niang.
Mi Niang kissed her son's forehead and said softly, "Okay, you sleep with your parents today."
The family of three washed up and went to bed. As usual, Fang Weiyan slept on the outside, Xian Ge'er slept on the inside, and Mi Niang slept in the middle. The children were already breathing evenly.
"Xian'er seems to have fallen asleep." Mi Niang said in a low voice.
Fang Weiyan said “hmm”.
Seeing Mi Niang on him, he was startled: "What's wrong? Didn't we just have sex yesterday? And my son is here. It would be so bad if he saw us."
The main problem is that such young children can mimic human speech, and if they say something out loud, it would be bad if others heard it.
Mi Niang pushed him in anger and said, "What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person? Really. I mean, you rejected Yaqing today. What were you thinking? I can never tell what you are thinking."
It turned out to be this matter. Fang Weiyan smiled and said, "In the future, you can find a girl that Xian'er likes. What if our Xian'er doesn't like Shunshun? It's not impossible. What should we do then? Once we have made an engagement, we often have no choice."
"You really touched my heart. I didn't expect you to be so insightful." Mi Niang sighed sincerely.
Fang Weiyan joked, "Isn't he a freak?"
Mi Niang shook her head: "Not a freak, that's good. People in the secular world always follow the crowd because they are afraid of making mistakes, but there are always some people in this world who are sober while everyone else is drunk. If our Envy Brother wants to grow up happily, I won't ask for anything else."
As for grandsons and grandsons, she really doesn't care.
After Xu knew that her son rejected Fang Yaqing, she felt that her son must be looking for a wealthy marriage in the future. Although Su Ziqing was the top scholar, her son was promoted quickly, and Su Ziqing was from a poor family, so he probably looked down on her.
So I just accepted it.
Although she loved her daughter, she still had to rely on her son in the future, so she didn't hesitate.
He also said that Fang Weijun had been assigned the task of guarding the front, and he became more diligent. Seeing his brother becoming more mature, Fang Weiyan could not help but feel happy for him from the bottom of his heart: "You have just come back from the military camp and got this task. You should visit your father more often, listen to the advice of the seniors, and practice martial arts diligently. You will have a chance to make a name for yourself in the future."
Fang Weijun smiled: "Fourth brother, don't worry."
"When you come back with the emperor this time, father may ask you to be the crown prince."
Fang Weijun was even happier.
The emperor was going on a tour, and Gu Wangshu had to go with him. Xinling Hou called his son over and gave him many instructions. Although Gu Wangshu was very impatient in his heart, he still had to listen.
After coming out of the Xinling Marquis's mansion, he met the Crown Prince Gu Wangting. He had dark circles under his eyes and puffy eye bags, and it was obvious that he had indulged himself in excessive sexual activities. It was heard that he had been in a mess recently. The wife of the Xinling Marquis would beat and scold the illegitimate sons, but would dote on her own son. After scolding him, she would give him money and beautiful women to please him.
He looked at Gu Wangshu unkindly and said, "Sixth brother, Dad is calling you in to talk again."
Gu Wangshu ignored him and said, "Mind your own business. Get out of my way."
"You little bastard, you—"
Gu Wangting was mumbling something to himself, but when he saw Xiu Chundao suddenly wake up, he quickly smiled apologetically.
Gu Wangshu snorted coldly and went into the palace again. When he came out, he saw Fang Weiyan coming out with his badge.
Fang Weiyan was able to take turns in serving in the inner cabinet at this age. It was said that he did an excellent job and was admired by several prime ministers. They believed that he would become a great man in the future and they were all trying to cultivate him.
"Guardian."
Fang Weiyan seemed to see him and called out.
Gu Wangshu nodded lightly.
"I'll leave my brother to you."
I heard that Fang Weijun is serving as the front guard this time, a prestigious position that Dong'an Hou specially got for his son. If he can hold on to this position, his future will naturally be limitless.
Fang Weiyan's words were just a few polite words. Gu Wangshu nodded and then went to the farm.
The huge Xinling Marquis Mansion was not his home. That manor was the only place where he could sleep peacefully.
When I came to the manor again, the woman was flying a kite. She was laughing so happily. It was really funny that a prisoner was happier than me.
He threw a dart and the kite fell to the ground.
The girls who were accompanying Jian Ningchu in flying the kite just now all knelt down hurriedly. Jian Ningchu was thinking what bad luck was. This person had not come to the manor for a long time and she had forgotten about him. She did not expect him to show up suddenly.
But Jian Ningchu also knew what it meant to be under someone's roof, one had to bow one's head.
If I keep silent and really make him unhappy, he is a moody person and he might throw me to the Music Bureau. What will I do then?
Even ants try to survive, so it would be better for her not to offend him now.
"Commander."
Gu Wangshu snorted coldly and walked in front. The maid pushed Jian Ningchu and signaled her to follow. Jian Ningchu had no choice but to follow.
In the manor, Gu Wangshu was the most powerful one, and all the servants lived in fear.
The steward served the tea and brought it to Jian Ningchu, suggesting that she pass it to Gu Wangshu. Jian Ningchu had no choice but to serve the tea.
Gu Wangshu said nothing. He took a sip of tea and waved to the steward. The steward left tactfully, leaving only Gu Wangshu and Jian Ningchu in the room.
Jian Ning initially felt that life seemed to be getting more difficult to endure.
"Fang Weijun may be promoted to the crown prince."
He said this indifferently. Jian Ningchu was stunned for a moment before she realized that Fang Weijun was her fiancé.
She almost forgot that in just a few months, it seemed that many things that she thought were important before were gone. The propriety and integrity that she cared about were not as important as living. In the past, in order to be the fiancée of the prince of Dong'an Marquis's mansion, she didn't know how many pairs of shoes she had made for Fang Weijun, and even fantasized about her married life with Fang Weijun.
But as the Jian family suffered a disaster and the Dong'an Marquis's Mansion broke off the engagement, she felt dizzy. After the Jian family was ransacked, she was sent here. Although Gu Wangshu was not a good person, to some extent, he saved her.
If this had happened in the past, when she was still the granddaughter of the Minister of Revenue, she would never have looked at him, and would even have thought that they were completely unrelated. But now she still has to live under his wing.
This was humiliating, but as he was often not around, she could do whatever she wanted on the farm, even more freely than at Jane's house, and she really forgot many things she didn't want to remember.
At the Jane family, she worried about her marriage day and night, and was in a state of anxiety every day.
Even though the marriage was arranged, she was still worried about how she would get along with her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law in the Dong'an Marquis' Mansion. Ruan heard that she was very much loved by her mother-in-law and was also the granddaughter of Madam Jian. She was afraid that she would be wronged and could not go home to complain.
But here, there is no need to think about anything.
Everyone knew that she was the woman brought back by Gu Wangshu, so they respected her very much.
"Really? I don't remember."
She was telling the truth, but Gu Wangshu felt that she was trying to forget it on purpose. After all, Fang Weijun had become the crown prince and would marry a good wife in the future. He would have a brother to help him and parents to take care of him. He was better than many people.
Therefore, Gu Wangshu smiled sarcastically: "Whether you remember or not, bad people in this world never get punished. Are you angry?"
This is an extremely heartbreaking statement.
Jian Ningchu said, "When Fang Weijun broke off the engagement, the Jian family only had ginseng, and they were not yet bankrupt. And the wife of the Marquis of Dong'an had promised to rescue me if I was in trouble. You said he was bad, but Ruan was also from the Marquis of Dong'an. I heard that when Fang Weijun broke off the engagement, he couldn't make up his mind, and it was Ruan who made the final decision. So is the person you are talking about Ruan?"
I don’t know if it’s because she’s been with Gu Wangshu for too long, but she always tries to hit on people’s pain points when she speaks.
Don't you like Nguyen?
I picked on you for this.
In the past, she would never have said such a thing. She used to be sympathetic to everyone, and as a woman, she was even more sympathetic to women.
But now, she actually said such vicious words just to argue with Gu Wangshu.
But I have to say, it feels really good to say this.
Don’t worry about whether this statement is right or wrong, and don’t worry about how many people will be offended by this statement. Just say whatever you want to say.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Gu Wangshu stood up, grabbed her neck, and said harshly: "I want to tell you that the reason you exist is because of her."
Jian Ning first felt that she was having difficulty breathing, her vision went dark, and she almost fainted. Only then did Gu Wangshu let go of her hand.
"Then let me tell you, when her father was a procurator, he wanted to marry into Li Ci Fu's family, but she firmly refused. Later, Madam Li wanted her to be her daughter-in-law, and she asked for marriage several times, but she refused. Because she knew that two people of different ages are not a good match. Li Guan still regrets not marrying her." As a member of the Imperial Guard, these officials were under his surveillance, especially Li Ci Fu, who was once Zhang Xiang's man and was under the special surveillance of the emperor.
After knowing this secret, Gu Wangshu felt that she was very clear-headed.
Compared to Li Guan, Fang Wei-yen is quite responsible, and he climbs up the career ladder very quickly and is very loyal. His private life is so clean that it is simply outrageous.
"She knows clearly what she wants and what she doesn't want. She is evil but honest, she knows herself clearly and never believes in evil. What about you? Apart from waiting for the wife of the Marquis of Dong'an to save you, what else can you do? When He Tinglan teased you, you could only dodge, but she dared to save herself when she was held hostage. What's the use of your kindness? Apart from the rotten reputation that even dogs don't want, are you really living a good life? You are not even worthy of carrying her shoes."
Gu Wangshu narrowed his eyes.
