Chapter 221 The Cannon Fodder Wife in the Ancient Time Traveling Novel 28
Several people rushed to the Prince's Mansion in a mighty manner. After bargaining and arguing, the final result was still satisfactory. All the property of the third room was managed by Leng Yao. The third son must respect his wife and cannot favor his "concubine" and destroy her! He also promised that he would give the third room an extra layer of property when the family was divided in the future.
The prince gave the mansion a large farm and three shops as compensation, and the mansion promised to keep it a secret! Xia Xiaoxiao decided to give half of the ten-year profit of the farm and shops to the clan to build a school and hire teachers, and the other half to the nursery in Beijing to accumulate merits and blessings for the mansion!
Xia Xiaoxiao played this trick very well. If she really took control of the farm and shop, people would treat the critical illness and life of the old lady Hou as a kind of transaction and profit from it. But she did this and both the clan and the clan members were very satisfied, and they were more convinced of Xia Xiaoxiao as the old lady Hou!
Now that the old lady of the Marquisate is critically ill, the couple of the Third Master of the Prince's Mansion, as the daughter and son-in-law, need to observe filial piety and mourning by the bedside of the old lady. The punishment given to Leng Yao by the clan is that she must take care of the old lady personally while she is still alive, and kneel in the ancestral hall at night to confess to the ancestors of the Leng family. And for the next three years, she must personally copy several scriptures such as the Filial Piety Sutra and the Buddhist Scripture every year to pray for the old lady in the Marquisate!
Leng Yao did not dare to have any objection. After all, she was really wrong in this matter, and the Marquis' Mansion really made the decision for her. She obediently took care of the old lady of the Marquis by her bedside.
Xia Xiaoxiao was taking care of the three children while discussing the old lady's funeral with the clan leader. After all, the court doctor had already sentenced her to death. Some things needed to be prepared, and with the help of the clan leader, everything was arranged in an orderly manner!
The old lady woke up on the morning of the third day. She was in good spirits when she woke up. People who understand know that this is the last breath. The first thing she did when she woke up was to ask about her daughter. She learned that everything had been arranged with the joint efforts of the clan leader and Xia Xiaoxiao.
Finally, he looked at the three children, at Xia Xiaoxiao, and then at his own daughter. He divided all his possessions among them before closing his eyes forever.
After that, the Marquis' Mansion started to be busy again. Xia Xiaoxiao could not be lazy this time, she could not escape. But at least many things were arranged in advance, and then smoothly handed over to the clan leader to let him take charge! She was at ease with the children crying for the dead, kowtowed, and thanked the guests...
Xia Xiaoxiao was afraid that the children couldn't bear it, so she secretly gave them extra meals and even arranged for them to have spiritual spring water and other things.
Of course, her pale makeup appeared on her face again! When Madam Wang, the censor, came over, she saw her daughter's pale face and understood instantly. Xia Xiaoxiao was afraid that her mother would worry about her, so she winked at her quietly!
Seeing this, Wang immediately lowered her head and lowered her eyes. When she raised her head again, she had a worried and sad face, "Xiaoxiao, my child, are you okay?" After saying this, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Mom, wuwuwu, my mother-in-law, she, she..." When Xia Xiaoxiao saw that her mother knew the situation, she hugged Wang and cried.
The two were so close that Wang could still smell the strong smell of ginger on the handkerchief, which made her eyes red. She could only pat Xia Xiaoxiao's shoulder and comfort her silently. This girl, how much ginger juice is on the handkerchief? Her nose was red from the choking!
During the whole process of crying for the dead, Xia Xiaoxiao was like a little white flower, leaving the guests with the impression of being tired, thin, but strong! From then on, until the old lady's funeral, there was no trouble in the entire Marquis's mansion.
Originally, some people wanted to see the Marquis' Mansion make a fool of itself. After all, the old lady, the pillar of the Marquis' Mansion, was gone, and the only person left in the entire Marquis' Mansion was the young Marquis's wife and three children. Who knows what kind of chaos the mansion would be in!
But this was not a joke. The Marquis's Mansion was well managed! From the master to the servants, everyone performed their duties. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner, and the guests who came to pay their respects could not find any faults.
Everyone has a new understanding of the management skills of this young and pale-faced Marquis's wife. I believe that under her leadership and education, the three children will not grow up in the wrong way, and the Marquis's Mansion will regain its former glory in no time!
Thinking of this, no one dared to underestimate this thin Marquis's wife! Although the Marquis's Mansion was a little weak at this time, there were three rising stars behind her. Little did they know that everything is possible.
Many ladies were still thinking about it. The image of the eldest son and daughter-in-law of a big family was embodied at this moment. If you want to find a wife to be the head of the family, you should find someone like Xia Xiaoxiao, who can play a bad hand beautifully.
She is usually inconspicuous, but can support a family at a critical moment and revitalize the entire family. This is the real head lady of a big family.
After this incident, the big families strengthened their daughters' education, and the standards for choosing daughters-in-law for their sons became higher! Some even asked the wife of the Censorate for advice on how to educate their daughters... Some even set their sights on the eldest daughter-in-law of the Censorate who was just pregnant. If the eldest young lady gave birth to a daughter this time, it is estimated that the threshold of the Censorate would be trampled flat.
As for the Marquis' Mansion, after the old lady's funeral, the door was closed again to observe mourning. As for the children, those who should go to school went to school, and those who should practice martial arts practiced martial arts.
On the surface, they were obediently observing mourning, but secretly they were eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves. They were just not as blatant as before, and of course they would not wear brightly colored clothes to commit crimes.
If the children asked her why she was a vegetarian during the mourning period, Xia Xiaoxiao would start to educate them. She would bring out the idea that meat and wine go through the intestines, and that the Buddha had left it in his mind. Besides, they were still young and could not lack nutrition during their growth period.
The way elders love their younger generations is to hope that they live a good life, whether before or after death. Living a good life, burning paper money during festivals and telling the elders is the greatest filial piety.
But we can't do this in front of outsiders, otherwise we will be condemned by others. We can just do this secretly. I also told them that they can do this even if their mother dies in the future.
They just need to be good to their mother during their lifetime. No matter what time it is, their mother hopes that they can live well, but she can't bear to let them observe mourning and eat vegetarian food for three years. Of course, this is their secret, don't tell anyone else. After all, people only live once, so they should be as comfortable as possible.
Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know how much influence her education had on her three children. As a result, the three children grew up to be gentlemen in appearance but actually very mean. Compared with black sesame dumplings, they lacked a little bit of virtue.
After she finished her work, His Royal Highness Prince Jin secretly sent a pigeon to her.
"My child's mother, are you okay?"
He hadn't sent her disgusting love words to harass her during this period of time, and he probably knew the situation on her side. Xia Xiaoxiao was filled with emotion when she saw this note, "Tsk tsk tsk, what an ancient man!"
But suddenly she changed her mind. As a woman of the 21st century, how could she be less open-minded than an ancient person? Why should she be afraid? Just go for it. Who is afraid of whom? It would be a sin to leave such a handsome man alone in an empty room. She decided to take this evildoer into her pocket and immediately started to grind ink and write:
"Dad, are you serious?" He also sent it over along with a note that said "yes".
"What? My child's mother, you don't dare anymore? Or were you just playing a trick on me? Is the Marquis's courage only this high?"
Damn it, this is intolerable. I can tolerate my uncle, but I can’t tolerate my aunt.
"My child's father, wuwuwu, I'm not feeling well, very bad, extremely bad, and I urgently need someone to comfort me!" Write this on the back of a note that says "mother, are you okay?" and send it off!
Prince Jin originally thought that the Marquis' wife would shrink back and not receive a reply, but unexpectedly received this letter from Xia Xiaoxiao. After opening it, he found that the Marquis' wife's words were as bold as ever. However, he did not think for long and immediately replied with two words.
"Sure?"
"determine"
"At the beginning of the first hour tonight, wait for the child's father to come and comfort the child's mother!"
"Wait!"
She never thought that after more than three years, she would be able to eat meat again tonight. Haha, this is a visual feast, a feast for both the eyes and the mouth!
In order to enjoy life well, Xia Xiaoxiao asked the robot to clean up a relatively secret small courtyard in the Marquis' Mansion. It is not big but extremely exquisite!
At night, she took a fragrant flower petal bath, put on her pajamas, and fell asleep while waiting. The ancient lights were so dim that they seemed to have a hypnotic effect, making it especially easy to fall asleep.
In the middle of the night, Prince Jin arrived as promised, and used the same method. The people guarding the gate were all stunned, and he walked into Xia Xiaoxiao's room with big strides. He originally thought that he would see a shy beauty waiting. But he didn't expect to see a sleeping beauty who was sleeping soundly!
"Hehe, this is what it's like when you lose a loved one and need comfort..." Before he could finish his words, Xia Xiaoxiao pressed her down. It was somewhat similar to the last time, except that she didn't hold down his hand this time.
"Then how is Your Highness Prince Jin going to comfort me?" Xia Xiaoxiao said with seductive eyes.
"Oh, mother of the child, what kind of comfort do you need?" His Royal Highness Prince Jin did not resist even when he was pressed down.
"I don't know. You said you were here to comfort me. If I were to receive your comfort, wouldn't that be insincere?" Xia Xiaoxiao played with his hair!
His Royal Highness Prince Jin raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, turned over and switched places with Xia Xiaoxiao, and pecked her lightly on the lips. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "What about this? Is my child's mother satisfied?"
Xia Xiaoxiao curled her lips and smiled. "Of course not!" After saying that, she put her arms around his neck, and started with a light peck and then opened her teeth, from shallow to deep, and gave him a wet French kiss!
Prince Jin quickly mastered the technique and put it into practice, turning passivity into initiative. Then he smiled and said, "It turns out that the mother likes this kind of comfort. What about other comforts? Is the mother ready?"
