The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

This night is destined to be sleepless.

Shi Chengxuan rushed to Haitang Courtyard angrily, and then left Haitang Courtyard with a smile.

Because the lady loves him!

He originally went to raise an army to investigate the crime, why not let him be the right pacifier? Why not let him go to Yucheng?

The lady asked him a question, "Is it cold outside?"

cold! Of course it's cold! you still need to ask? It was so cold that he wished he could hide in the fumigation cage without getting out.

The lady then said, "Jade City is more than ten times colder than the capital. It is difficult to walk even an inch, and the wind and snow are so confusing that people can't keep their eyes open. If you go to Jade City, you may have to dig the snow and ice to clear the way. Are you going?"

Shi Chengxuan shivered with cold just thinking about it.

The lady asked again, "Even if you finally overcome all difficulties and reach Yucheng, do you think you can hide in the Yamen and warm yourself by the fire without going out? What does the pacifier do? It is to pacify the people and stabilize their hearts. You have to brave the wind and snow to see Lead your officials to distribute relief supplies to the people one by one. So not only can you not keep yourself warm, but you also have to work in the wind and snow. Are you going?"

Shi Chengxuan, who was dying of illness, sat up in shock and shivered again.

"Frozen to death, you should do it well, because you are the one who appeases the history! If you don't do it well, the court will not only demote you, but also punish you. This is a thankless job! Let me ask you, Still want to go?”

Shi Chengxuan sat down on the chair, his head drooping and he snatched the Tang Pozi from his wife's hand, "I won't go, this work is not done by humans."

Finally, the lady spoke softly and reassured him, "Actually, I used my dowry to buy a lot of supplies and donated them to the court in your name. But you don't have to suffer from the cold. The emperor also knows that we have a legitimate second son in the Hou family. Isn't it good to be loyal and loyal? As long as you stay on your toes and don't do anything that will bring shame to the Marquis, are you still afraid that your career will not go smoothly in the future?"

Shi Chengxuan was so moved that he almost cried with laughter. He didn't have to be cold, he still had a good reputation, and he was using the dowry from his legitimate wife.

For the first time in so many years of marriage, he felt a little warmth from his legitimate wife. With just this little warmth, he was already elated.

The lady warned him earnestly, "So no matter what mother says, just listen and don't come with her to embarrass my daughter and me. You know, mother wants to use my dowry to do a hot spring business for Aunt Wen." If it is done well, it belongs to everyone. If it is not done well, the bulk of the losses will be ours. Do you understand? So I will never use the dowry for other things. But I will not be stingy in paving the way for your future. The premise is that you Don’t chill my daughter and I’s hearts. If I find out that you are not on my and my daughter’s side, I will never care about you again. I, Tang Chujun, will do what I say. In the end, we are the real ones. A family. Are you right?”

Shi Chengxuan nodded hurriedly, "Stop, stop! I stand with you and your daughter! We are a family."

As if he felt that this was not enough to express his determination and position, he added, "In the future, I will often stay in Haitang Courtyard and rarely go to my aunt's yard."

He heard his wife say considerately, "That's not necessary. You just need to go to Qiangweiyuan less often. Aunt Wen doesn't want to see me well, and I have a grudge against her. You still have to take good care of the other aunts and the first wife. After all, They all depend on your favor to survive.”

Shi Chengxuan knew that he couldn't go to Aunt Wen's place.

In fact, he didn't want to go. Since the last incident with the Wei family, he had lost his patience and affection for Aunt Wen, and he felt irritable whenever he thought about it.

So he left Haitang Courtyard contentedly, planning to go to another aunt's courtyard to be gentle and playful for a while. As a result, Mrs. Chen caught her and said that the old lady wanted to invite her.

Tang Chujun didn't care what Mrs. Shi said or did when she came to Shi Chengxuan. Anyway, she said what she needed to say and threatened what she needed to threaten.

If Shi Chengxuan is disobedient, she won't bother to care about him in the future.

She didn't hate Shi Chengxuan, because Shi Chengxuan didn't know about that incident.

She also heard with her own ears that Shi Chengxuan complained about the old lady and asked why she planned for him to marry a cold young lady.

The two were feuding couples earlier. Now, Tang Chujun thought about it. He is the father of his children. Giving him dignity also gives respect to his children.

So when her daughter asked her if she planned to divorce in the future, she refused.

Her life has been ruined, but the lives of her children have just begun. She wants to stay in the Hou Mansion and plan a prosperous future for her children.

The next day, Shi Chengxuan's concubines came to Haitang Courtyard to pay their respects as usual, except Aunt Wen who was injured.

In addition to his wife, Shi Chengxuan had eight concubines in total.

One of the concubines is Aunt Wen.

Two good concubines, one is Shi Yunshu's biological mother Han, and the other is Qiu who has a daughter.

The three concubines are Wen, Wu and Zhou. Among them, the Zhou family had a son, Shi Yunpeng, the Wu family had a son, Shi Yunjing, and the Wen family had two daughters.

There are two additional bedrooms. One is Wang, who grew up with Shi Chengxuan in his early years. He is over forty years old. The other is a little girl who has just been brought into the house less than a year ago and is only seventeen years old.

In the past, Tang Chujun did not care about anything, and the concubines and concubines rarely even saw each other.

Everyone only fought secretly to entangle Shi Chengxuan, but it was only a small fight and would not endanger anyone's life.

Now, because they go to the principal's courtyard every day to pay their respects, they can see each other every day, and they have similar temperaments, and they gradually become warm to each other.

Although what happened last night had little impact on them, when they came this morning, they were all discussing the big room. When Cheng Yi was appointed by the emperor to be the right pacifier.

Tang Chujun arrived a little late. After going to the Manhua Hall to receive greetings from the concubines in each room, he sat down and talked about the New Year with everyone.

In previous years, Aunt Wen had planned it, and each room had to look at its expression. The things assigned to each room are also picked and searched, and life is not so smooth every year.

I wonder if there will be any changes this year? Everyone is looking forward to it.

When Tang Chujun was letting the ladies distribute Spring Festival couplets, he saw Xing's mother from He'an Courtyard coming in carrying boxes of account books.

Xing's mother bowed, then came forward with a wooden box and said, "Madam, here are the cards and the key to the warehouse of the Marquis Mansion. The old lady said that I need to hand it over to you before the end of the year."

The implication is that this is officially handing over the stewardship.

Tang Chujun raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed that the cake he gave Shi Chengxuan last night was not in vain. This left Grandma Zhong to order the people herself and follow Mother Xing to the warehouse.

All the concubines congratulated Madam on taking charge of the post and congratulated her on becoming the new mistress.

Tang Chujun presented some of the festive items that had been decorated for the New Year in the yard and sent everyone away.

Shi Anxia came over after hearing the news and smiled narrowly, "Congratulations to mother for catching a hot potato."

Tang Chujun also smiled, stretched out his hand and tapped his daughter's eyebrows, "Why don't you give your eldest aunt a better gift? If your eldest aunt gets this dilapidated Hou Mansion, won't she die of worry?"

Shi Anxia had not concealed the existence of things underground from her mother earlier. "The Hou Mansion will be in power soon. Use the gold and silver treasures underground if you can."

Mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled. After several days of planning, the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion was no longer the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion in the past.

With the new year and new scenery, it is natural to have a prosperous and decent decoration.

When Tang Chujun was happy, he took out all the inventory in his warehouse.

Even the silk used in the lanterns was all transported to Beijing from the south of the Yangtze River, and the craftsmen who made the lanterns were also apprentices of the masters who made lanterns for the imperial palace.

Brand new from top to bottom, inside and out. Everywhere there is a sense of joy made of money.

Although Tang Chujun had a falling out with Mrs. Shi, she still gave her the dignity she deserved and would not follow the truth.

Therefore, the He'an Courtyard is also full of red and full of joy.

There is only one desolate, deserted place in the entire Hou Mansion, and that is the Rose Garden.
