Chapter 95 Plum Blossom Brand (I)
The autumn in the north is very cold. Yun Lan put down her teacup and stood up to close the window. In this life, she was reincarnated into a man named Fu Cha Hao Xiang. That's right, he is the younger brother of the protagonist in Plum Blossom Mark, a good-for-nothing dandy. However, in a large family, there are many people like the original owner who are unlearned and spend their days playing with birds and fighting crickets. It was because of the years of suppression by Fu Jin Xue Ru that his image in the prince's heart was completely destroyed.
It is hard to say whether the timing of reincarnation is good or not. The original owner got drunk and raped a maid Xiao Rui, but the girl had a fierce temper and committed suicide by jumping into a well the next day. If she had reincarnated two days earlier, she could have avoided a tragedy. Unfortunately... Now I can only recite the mantra of rebirth for her a few times. Concubine Pian Pian was afraid that the prince would blame her son, so she had to take all the blame, saying that she was too strict when teaching Xiao Rui to practice dancing, which made her upset.
The prince naturally didn't care about a little girl. He asked about the situation and scolded Pian Pian a few words. At this time, Hao Zhen had just been granted marriage by the emperor, and Bai Yinshuang had been placed in the courtyard of Maoer Hutong. Before, when he was in modern time and space, Yun Lan traveled everywhere and collected many novels in the space, including this "Plum Blossom Mark".
When no one was around, Hao Xiang took out the novel and read it carefully. The day after Xiao Rui committed suicide, Hao Zhen should have been in Maoer Hutong with Bai Yinshuang. No wonder he looked anxious every day, and he didn't even care about preparing for the wedding. It turned out that he was thinking about going out to meet Bai Yinshuang.
Hao Xiang leaned against the window, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. If things continued like this, Hao Xiang and Pian Pian would end up being demoted to commoners, which was not bad, but if something went wrong in the middle and the emperor was angry and wanted to kill their nine clans, it would be more troublesome. We still have to think of a way to get out of it.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Pian Pian walked in with a worried look on her face. Seeing him, she said worriedly, "Haoxiang, why have you been staying in your room these two days? Are you scared by the little girl's incident? Don't be afraid, I have already told the prince, and this matter is over. If you have nothing to do, go for a walk on the street, don't get bored in the room."
Haoxiang sighed in his heart. This Pian Pian was also a simple-minded woman. She didn't get the prince's favor, so she put all her enthusiasm on her son. She asked about his well-being all day long, fearing that he would not live well. As a result, she spoiled her son, making the original owner neither good at literature nor martial arts, and even less liked by the prince.
However, he always respected parents who truly loved their children. He smiled and said, "Mother, you are tired too. Have a cup of hot tea. Don't worry about me. These two days, I have carefully recalled what I did in the past. I was very ignorant. I always made mother worry about me, and my father was very unhappy. From now on, I will try to change those bad habits. Don't worry."
Pianpian took the tea handed over by her son, and her heart was warm. In recent years, she and her son have been suppressed by the legitimate wife. It is common for them not to see the prince for ten days or half a month. This made her son complain that she was useless and he had not been so kind to her for a long time. Drinking the hot tea, Pianpian did not think much about it. She just thought that after this incident, her son finally got it, and she finally got her reward after all the hard work.
Blinking back the tears in her eyes, Pianpian patted Haoxiang's hand and smiled with relief: "If you think so, mother will be relieved. Haozhen can become a prince consort because he is a legitimate son. Don't envy him. In the future, mother will definitely choose a gentle and virtuous wife for you."
Haoxiang's mouth twitched, and he coughed lightly, changing the subject: "Speaking of which, Haozhen seems to be a little abnormal these days." Haoxiang pretended to be cautious and looked out the window, then approached Pianpian and whispered: "Mother, do you think Haozhen has been full of joy recently? He finds excuses to go out of the house all day long. I guess he must be hiding a mistress outside!"
Pianpian covered the exclamation that came out of her mouth with a handkerchief, opened her eyes wide and looked at him and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about! If your father hears you, he might punish you!"
Hao Xiang curled his lips and continued to whisper: "Mother, I only told you, how could your father hear it. I am not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, observe Hao Zhen carefully next time you see him, and you will know whether what I said is true. But you must remember to observe secretly and don't let anyone find out. The princess hasn't entered the house yet, but he has already taken in a concubine. This is a serious crime!"
Pian Pian's face was not very good when she heard this. She was just an ordinary little woman, and she was a foreigner. She had no backing and could only rely on the identity of a concubine to live. If Hao Zhen committed a serious crime, then she, a small person, would definitely not have a good end.
After thinking for a while, Pianpian took a deep breath and told Haoxiang: "Let mother investigate this matter. Mother has been in the palace for so many years, so she must have some people. You must not get involved, understand?"
Haoxiang looked at her worried look and was touched. He smiled and said: "I know, mother, you have to be careful too. Duolong asked me to go to the teahouse to listen to books tomorrow. I may not come back for dinner. Don't wait for me, eat first. Don't be reluctant to spend money, let the kitchen cook more good dishes. The weather is so bad, you should also take more supplements."
Pianpian nodded and praised his son for being sensible. The two chatted for a while before Pianpian went back to his room.
Haoxiang turned around and saw the only charcoal stove in the room. He thought he would go out tomorrow and buy more daily necessities. The portions Fujin gave them were just stuck in the prescribed quantity, and the quality of the materials was poor. Not warm at all. He has the cultivation to protect his body, so he is not afraid, but Pianpian is weak and gets sick every winter. Now that he has passed through, these things have to be taken care of, at least making their mother and son's life more comfortable.
The next day, Haoxiang went to pay his respects to Prince Fujin after having dinner early in the morning. When Prince Shuo Yue Li saw him, he said casually and turned to drink tea. At that moment, Haoxiang clearly saw the corner of Fujin's mouth gloating about his misfortune. smile. It seems that the memory of the original owner is still very reliable. This snow is indeed black. However, Yue Li's thoughts are really not normal. As a prince with only two sons, it is really strange that he can ignore the original owner so completely.
After explaining that she and Duolong were going out for tea, Xueru showed a worried expression and said: "Haoxiang, I've been busy with Lord Haozhen recently, and I really can't take care of you. You have to remember to be free. If you study harder, you will be favored by the emperor in the future, and maybe you will find another princess. Then our family will have one master and two masters, which is a supreme honor. "
Haoxiang complained silently in his heart, "You said you want to use words to provoke me, so you have to be careful with your words. Can Master Shang say it casually?" He is just a bastard. How crazy does the emperor have to be to marry the princess to him? If the original owner had a low self-esteem and jealous temperament, when she heard her say this, she would definitely retaliate in anger, right?
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the expectation in Xueru's eyes. Haoxiang bowed respectfully and said with a smile: "What I taught you is that Haoxiang will definitely remember it and study hard. It's just that Haoxiang knows his identity. I don’t dare to expect anything from you, please stop teasing me.”
Yue Li fiddled with the teacup for a moment and narrowed his eyes. Xueru's face froze when she saw this, and she quickly smiled and said: "What a lesson! I'm just worried about you so I say a few words. Since you have an appointment with Duolong Beizi, go as soon as possible. It will be bad if you are late. ”
Haoxiang nodded in agreement and retreated silently. After taking a few steps, he heard Yue Li's serious voice coming from the room, "Fu Jin should be more careful about what he says in the future. If what he said today reaches the ears of the emperor, It's a very disrespectful accusation. Princess, we can discuss it!" followed by Xueru's embarrassed voice, "I know, Your Majesty, I've probably been too busy these days and haven't had much rest. You are quick to speak, I will pay more attention in the future.”
With a smile on his face, Haoxiang walked out of the palace with brisk steps. In view of the wonderful way of thinking of people in this time and space, he felt that it was still possible to escape from Prince Shuo's Mansion, and his biggest helper was undoubtedly Duolong. Duolong's Amma holds great power, has a wide network of contacts, and her words have much more weight. According to the memory of the original owner, Duolong was very fond of his friend, and his behavior was quite lawless. If he knew his plan, he would probably applaud him!
When passing by a framing shop, Haoxiang was about to pass by when he suddenly heard a pleasant voice inside saying: "Shopkeeper, please help me. My Kang screen was framed here before, but now the corners are missing." If it gets slightly damaged, you can only restore it to its original state.”
Another slightly more fierce voice said: "That's right, shopkeeper, you can't ignore it. Do you know who owns this kang screen? This is a huge..."
"Xiangqi! Don't say anything. We are here to repair the kang screen, not to show off our status. What are you talking about!"
Haoxiang pretended to buy something and walked into the store. The woman holding the kang screen was dressed in white and had a beautiful face, but she looked a little pitiful. The woman next to her in a lotus-colored cloth was obviously her maid. Haoxiang raised his eyebrows. Bai Yinshuang was indeed very beautiful. No wonder it was later spread that she was a white fox spirit, and she scared Princess Nalan half to death.
Looking at the kang screen in her hand, the white fox embroidered with fox fur and silk thread is lifelike, and the expression when looking back while running is vivid. What a good embroidery! It's really a waste to match them, a pair of filial piety and adultery.
Opening a fan as a cover, Haoxiang quickly drew a charm in the air and flicked it onto the kang screen. Then, under the introduction of the shopkeeper, he selected and looked at the products, bought an exquisite fan and left. After walking for a while, Haoxiang turned around and looked at the framing shop with a mischievous smile.
