Moonlight Exposes the Valley Works The Concubine's Daughter Schemes to Marry the Best King Consort The Concubine's Daughter Schemes to Marry the Best King Consort Volume 1 Chapter 124 After Marriage (8)

  On the way back from Wen's house, Yang Guofeng didn't know if he had drunk too much wine or was tired, but he kept his eyes closed and rested.

  Compared with him, Jiu Jie Er is much more spirited.

  Uh... she couldn't help but be vigilant, she had been quietly observing the man in front of her all along, and then thinking about the matter that Jiang had brought up.

  What should I do? Talk to him directly? No... being rejected is minor, losing face is major.

  Just three days after the wedding, he was already seeking benefits for his wife's family. He feared that this would make him look down on the Wen family even more... Hmm, believing that today's events would only worsen his impression of the Wen family.

  She can imagine how her cheap uncle would fawn all over her, fortunately the guy is cool and has personality, otherwise... heh, perhaps he would have been defeated by those flattering words long ago.

  Not saying it directly, then can only say it indirectly, but what way to choose...

  Just as she was thinking about it, the carriage under her suddenly jolted and Jiujie only then realized that the Weiyuan Wangfu was already in front of them. She naturally didn't have time to think anymore.

  Returning to the mansion, after tidying up, naturally went to Taihe Hall to pay respects to Old Lady Meng.

  Inside Taihe Hall, the crowd was packed: Second Mistress Qin, Yang Jia's third master Yang Guoshou and his wife, their two sons, Yang Jia's fifth master Yang Guoqing, as well as Yang Hui'er and Xiao Yangcheng.

  "Ning Er, this is your fourth aunt, come and greet her quickly!"

  Two people went in, naturally first to pay respects to Madame Meng, and then greeted each other with the crowd. At this time, Mrs. Xiao Yan led over the young Yang Ning, who had missed greeting the newlyweds due to stomach pain and diarrhea yesterday, to pay his respects to Ninth Sister.

  "Fourth Aunt is great!" Unlike Little Yang Cheng, who was silent, and unlike Big Brother Yang Kun, who was quiet, Little Yang Cheng had a lively personality. When he saw Ninth Sister, he first smiled and tilted his little head to examine her, then paid his respects. After paying his respects, he even learned from the adults' tone of voice and praised, "Fourth Aunt is really beautiful!"

  Jiuniang immediately smiled and affectionately patted his head, then handed over a jade pendant as a gift to celebrate their meeting.

  "Yang Ning, didn't you always think that Second Aunt was pretty? How come now you also think Fourth Aunt is pretty? You tell me, which one of them is actually prettier?"

  In a harmonious atmosphere, Yang Hui'er, who was sitting on a low stool eating snacks, suddenly interjected in a neither-clear-nor-murky tone.

  Xiao Yangning was taken aback by the words, looked at Jiu Si'er, and then turned to look at Qin Shi with an unchanged expression.

  "Hmph!" Seeing him unable to answer for a moment, Yang Hui'er sneered and curled her lip.

  Xiao Yangning's face suddenly fell, and he scratched his head, while behind him, Xiao Yanshi's face flashed a complex and awkward expression.

  Seeing this, Ninth Sister's brow furrowed in puzzlement.

  Could it be that Little Yan is so anxious just because Yang Hui'er is worried about her son? That can't be, after all, Yang Hui'er is only a ten-year-old little girl.

  But it's not for this, then why?

  She couldn't help but glance sideways at Qin Shi, but Qin Shi's face still had that expression, neither happy nor angry, not far nor near, with a faint smile hanging on it.

  Her sister-in-law was indeed a unique character, and Ninth Sister couldn't help but nod in secret admiration.

  "Of course... they all look good." At this time, Yang Guoqing, who was sitting in a corner of the house with Xiaoyang, looking at something together, smiled and spoke up to help Xiaoyang out.

  "Right, right, all look good!" Then Little Yang Ning immediately imitated her.

  "Uncle Wu, this is not fair, you're helping Yang Ning cheat." Then Yang Hui'er immediately cried out in dissatisfaction, and turned to Yang Guofeng sitting next to her, shaking his arm and acting cute, "Uncle Si, look...look at Uncle Wu..."

  "All right, all right, you naughty girl, stop making trouble. Your Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt are tired, finish your words and go back to rest." Old Lady Meng scolded her, but it was clear that she was more loving than authoritative.

  Nor did she know if it was because of what the old princess had said, but Ninth Sister couldn't help herself and let out a small yawn.

  "Stop it, your fourth aunt brought gifts from her hometown to give to you all." Yang Guofeng finally spoke up after sitting down silently since the ceremony was over.

  Everyone was stunned and looked at Jiu Jie'er, Jiu Jie'er also looked stunned, looking at Yang Guofeng.

  Yang Guofeng didn't say another word and lowered his head to sip tea.

  The ninth sister quickly withdrew her gaze, letting Qiaolan help her call over Cuiqiao, then took the package from Cuiqiao's hand, opened it, and pulled out various exquisite candles, wax pens, and soap inside, handing them to everyone.

  Each house got a few packages of candles and several pieces of soap, the children also received crayons, and the rest naturally all belonged to Mrs. Meng.

  It is clear that this generous gift pleased everyone——

  Yang Hui'er no longer stuck to her two uncles, snatched the crayon from Little Yang Ning's hand and looked at it curiously, causing Little Yang Ning to cry out loudly.

  "These are all good things, and the market price is expensive." Mrs. Yan was even more delighted, repeatedly praising.

  Even Qin's usual expressionless face had a few more genuine smiles as he held up the egg white soap and examined it from left to right.

  "Family is really generous!" Madam Meng, of course, didn't show it as obviously as the younger generation, but she was also quite delighted. She turned to Yang Guofeng and instructed, "Fourth brother, hurry up and select a few of those precious items from the warehouse to send to our relatives. How can we let them spend so much?"

  Yang Guofeng nodded.

  "Mother, it's nothing, they were all bought from our own store. If the family likes them, I'll bring more back next time." Jiuniang hastily said modestly.

  It seems that her stepmother's trick of using gifts to connect emotions is still quite effective, and since she has done so much for her, how could she dare not return the favor.

  Suddenly she thought of what she was thinking about on the road just now, and she couldn't help but frown again...

  With these gifts, everyone was eager to try them out, so the meeting ended quickly. Madam Meng also didn't keep everyone for dinner and directly sent people back to their respective houses to eat.

  The ninth sister was naturally happy, after a day of exhaustion, she really wanted to take a break and then eat dinner with a relaxed mood. Heaven knows how suffocating it is for so many people in the house to eat together.

  Openly quarrel and secretly fight, you finish your performance and I take the stage, it's really affecting my appetite!

  She then returned home with two maidservants accompanying her, walking quickly and lightly.

  Yang Guofeng was not so lucky, however. As soon as he came out of the Taihe Hall, he was taken away by the imperial carriage from the palace.

  Her mood became even more pleasant, but when she thought of the extremely oppressive presence that was always there, her mood would inevitably take a hit.

  Besides, he's not around, she can also take some time to think carefully about that matter entrusted by Jiang.

  Several maids knew she was tired and didn't bother her, each busy with their own tasks. After dinner and bathing, she sent all the maids away and sat at the table, reading the "Heavenly Book" in Qing Xiang's mouth.

  Hehe......

  She thought this little girl looked at the things under her hand that were originally going to say "ghostly symbols", but because of her master's face, she finally said two words with great difficulty - heavenly book.

  But little did she know that these troublesome characters not only helped her master to smoothly obtain the position of Empress, but also would become the most popular language in society a thousand years later.

  Not bad, what she wrote is exactly in English and it's also the key for her to help Jiang achieve his wish today!

  The night grew quieter and deeper, and the two sheets of Xuan paper under Jiuniang's hands were also densely covered with words, but the person she was waiting for had not returned yet.

  She was a bit tired, then went to the table and got herself a cup of tea to refresh, and indeed felt much more spirited after drinking it, and continued on.

  Suddenly, the voices of the maids asking for peace came from outside. She smiled slyly and casually put down her pen, then lazily crawled onto the table to rest for a while.

  Yang Guofeng came in and saw the silhouette of his little wife leaning on the edge of the table. His two thick eyebrows furrowed for an instant, and he was about to call out to the maid who was keeping watch outside, but his gaze inadvertently swept over the rice paper on the table and stopped.

  He immediately walked over and carefully looked at the dense letters on the rice paper for a long time, then looked at the small face leaning against his arm.

  "Brother..." But unexpectedly, his little wife opened her eyes at this moment and called out.

  Yang Guofeng was taken aback.

  "Your Highness..." At this moment, Jiu Si Er was already fully awake, hastily got up and gave Yang Guo Feng a kneeling bow.

  Yang Guofeng didn't say a word, he just nodded at her, his deep eyes falling on her face.

  "I just practiced this character for a while, and I didn't expect to fall asleep while writing it. In my dream, it was the fourth brother teaching me and tenth sister this character again. The fourth brother is a very strict teacher." Ninth sister rubbed her eyes and smiled.

  "Huh..." Yang Guofeng was slightly stunned again, then asked, "Is this dialect something your brother taught you?"

  "Uh-huh!" Ninth sister nodded, then smiled and said, "When we were young, fourth brother was particularly fond of reading books and collecting rare editions. Who would have thought that one day he would find two introductory books on the Da Shi language at a small book stall? He brought them back and treasured them, studying every day. Later, not only did he learn himself, but also had me and tenth sister follow along, saying that the Da Shi language was very interesting."

  "Oh, really?" Looking at his young wife's smiling face, Yang Guofeng felt the troubles that had been weighing on his mind suddenly dissipate, and he sat down at the table, asking about Wen Jingyu.

  Have you read those books? Who did you ask to be your teacher? This year should prepare for the Imperial Examination, right?

  This inquiry naturally hit the heart of Ninth Sister, and she immediately gave him a detailed introduction to her own elder brother's situation. Of course, in the end, she didn't forget to subtly reveal the matter of seeking guidance from a famous teacher.

  It's unclear whether it was because of his love for talent or the good impression he had of Wen Jingyu from their meeting today, but Yang Guofeng immediately agreed to help Wen Jingyu find a famous teacher.

  Jiujier listened and was naturally overjoyed, but her face didn't show any expression.

  "You go to sleep first!" Because the three-day honeymoon was over, and he still had to attend an early court session the next day, Yang Guofeng said a couple more words before preparing to go to the bathroom to wash up.

  This sentence was more in line with Jiu's heart, and she really was sleepy, so she immediately agreed and turned to go to sleep.

  As he watched the slender figure disappear behind the screen, Yang Guofeng turned around to leave, but in an instant, his gaze fell on the blue porcelain tea cup on the table.

  He immediately stopped in his tracks, staring at the teacup, and after a brief moment, he suddenly reached out with his hand. The faint warmth of the cup made his eyes narrow slightly.

  But soon, his thin lips curled up again, and he smiled...

  ……

  Digression

  Yang Guofeng is not a simple one, look at him, he has seen through it, ah, how will he react? Hehe...
