  "Reborn Host"

  Book number: 2171503

  Author: Yun Ting Yu

  Brief introduction: The family was destroyed and people died in their previous life, reborn to make up for the regret.

  Xiao San sat in his study, deep in thought. He wasn't a real bookworm, and he couldn't see things clearly, but most of the time it didn't matter anyway.

  Qiu San Niang suddenly fell ill, and at the time he was worried, but didn't think deeply about it. Looking back now, it seems a bit suspicious. Qiu San Niang wasn't that kind of weak woman who would faint easily, and he also knew she had been busy preparing for her grandmother's birthday, yet she was full of energy, with rosy cheeks and a better complexion than when she was idle. However, neither early nor late, but exactly on the eve of the harvest, she suddenly fell ill - isn't that too coincidental? And then Mo Zi said something can't be seen by the naked eye, what does this imply?

  The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He got up and wanted to go see San Niang, but found that he didn't even know where her house was in Shangdu. He also couldn't ask his grandmother or mother because they would definitely not let him go.

  For a moment, he was flustered and turned around in circles on the spot. For the first time, he didn't want to let his courtyard become a battleground for women's disputes. Qiu San Niang was different from those two wives before, he knew that. Qiu San Niang might see him as a friend, but not as a husband, and he also knew that. Jin Si couldn't hold back her temper this time, and even in front of him, she couldn't hide her jealousy. If so, then he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

  He used to think that Jin Si's humble origins made her strong in her youth, and if she lost that strength and became overly obedient, he would be disappointed. However, perhaps because he had been too indulgent with her, her self-defense turned into attack, and her confidence turned into ambition. She demanded more and more, even beyond what he could give, yet was completely unaware of the changes in herself.

  That day, the grandmother said she would give her two children to San Niang to bring up. San Niang was so generous that she sent "a family of four" back to discuss it. Jin Si returned home and actually cried to him, saying how wronged and difficult she was, and that being a concubine made her feel burdened. As long as he spoke up to the elders, just for the status of a secondary wife, from then on she wouldn't have to be bullied by San Niang again.

  She used all her heart and eyes on him. Isn't it laughable? Everything she has is given by him, taught by him, now she uses them against him, when he's truly blind to it.

  Jin Si, why can't you be content, why can't you be simple? Even if he truly falls in love with another woman in the future, he won't abandon her. After all, she is his childhood sweetheart, and the mother of his two children. Emotionally and rationally, he will treat her well. As long as she doesn't let his heart turn cold.

  The gate opened and he narrowed his eyes, seeing in the bright light that it was his second brother walking towards him.

  Putting aside his worries for the time being, he forced a smile and said, "Second Brother, you're a rare guest at my Chougu Zhai. What brings you here? Are you borrowing some books?"

  "On this lively day, Big Brother and Grandfather and Father said they were going to the mountain forest to hunt, but after searching for a while, they couldn't find you, Third Uncle. They sent someone to invite you from Grandmother's place, but it was said that you had already paid your respects early in the morning and left. You're indeed diligent, even the Emperor can't see you." Xiao Er teased his brother, but his eyes were slightly sunken, as if he had worries on his mind.

  "As a lifelong editor, it's pretty good." Xiao San was proud and had a natural disposition that didn't seek high office or wealth.

  Xiao Er didn't know what to say, and his tone changed. "You think it's good, but your younger sister also has to think it's good. Any wife would hope that her husband is successful."

  "Third Daughter isn't that kind of person, she has so much dowry, I think that if one day we separate and live apart, I'll have to rely on her for support. On the other hand, if she wants me to make a good impression, I can be more proactive." But as for him, she doesn't have any expectations at all. Having no expectations means having no feelings. It's really unbearable for him to see her like this after falling ill.

  "Did you hear that Qingbi said, did brother and sister avoid each other?" Xiao Er thought about it all night yesterday and decided to confirm it with his own eyes once again.

  Zhong An said, people have similarities. Although Zhong An has never seen Mo Zi, he may not be wrong. If you want to accuse someone, you should have absolute certainty. After all, Mo Ge's abilities are well-known, and he has experienced them himself. However, if he puts Mo Zi's intelligence and Mo Ge's capabilities together, he can't think of two people being so similar. No wonder every time Mo Zi says "wait a minute", he feels strange in his heart.

  "It's not that. It's just a cold, but the doctor said it's contagious and wants Third Sister to go out and recover. I said we should close the Yiguzhai, but Grandmother and Mother wouldn't agree. Third Sister has been busy preparing for Grandmother's birthday and usually helps Mother a lot, but now that she's sick, they want to send her away - it's so inhumane, it's infuriating me. Now I don't even know how Third Sister is doing, what's the point of celebrating birthdays and holidays?

  Xiao San had no interest in hunting, "Second Brother, you go with Big Brother, don't worry about me."

  "Do you know what a good wife is now?" Xiao Er didn't have the heart to go hunting, "Old Three, it seems like you've married the right one this time."

  "Second brother, are you still teasing me? Mind your own business. Wait until the princess or young lady enters your Wei Feng residence, I'll see how you stir up trouble inside. You have two pairs, but I only have one pair." Xiao San made up his mind to watch the show later on.

  "Who says I want to marry a princess or a lady? I'm not like you, reading books until you're stupid, and still picking women who are knowledgeable and affectionate. Women should be like Green Jade Red Luo, knowing their place, being considerate of others, not complaining or keeping track of grievances. If they were really princesses or ladies, they would have to obey me and take care of the household and children, otherwise I wouldn't serve them. We men are heroes with ambitions in all directions. Sentimental romance is shameful and laughable." Xiao Er is a typical northern big man, brave and heroic, never cowardly or weak-willed.

  "How's your newly wedded sister-in-law? Is she gentle and considerate, understanding of you?" When men get together, they either talk politics or women.

  "She? Let her be, she'll recover slowly." Xiao Er mentioned Wei Liu, with a cold laugh.

  "She's been searching high and low for you, don't be too cruel. After all, she's Yu Niang's own niece, a proper young lady, and currently has no status or title, it's already miserable enough." Xiao San thought of Yu Niang wiping away tears in front of him two days ago and couldn't help but speak up for Wei Liu, "Either way, one more person won't make a difference."

  Xiao Er choked him, saying "What's wrong with me being picky? You little brat, if you keep talking about your second brother like that, don't think I'll tell you where your younger siblings live."

  Xiao San immediately apologized, "Second brother, I was wrong. You're not picky, but there's nothing to choose from. As the saying goes, women are like clothes, and brothers are like hands and feet. We two brothers can't afford to hurt our feelings over a woman's topic. Tell me quickly, where is San Niang's mansion located?"

  Xiao Chen brought his men to guard him. He had just come to pay his respects and was about to leave, but I intercepted him halfway, and now he's waiting at the gate. How about it? Want to take a look at your lovely wife? Xiao Er pulled Xiao San along, making this visit seem proper, as if they had run into each other by chance.

  "Go, why not go? Second Brother, you come with me, otherwise Mother will be suspicious." Xiao San was clever, but he didn't know that Xiao Er was using him, and instead he wanted to use Xiao Er to cover his tracks.

  These two brothers, mutually "calculating" each other, but one is open and the other is hidden, with Xiao Er being a bit worse.

  Originally, these two people would have caught a group of people off guard if they had left smoothly. One, Qiu San Niang was not at home. Two, Qiu San Niang's maids were not at home. Three, Mozi, the maid who did rough work, was also not at home.

  However, Heaven has been kind to Qiu San Niang and others.

  Just as the two brothers were about to leave, several busy servants rushed over and kowtowed to them.

  "Second Master, Third Master, someone has come from the palace. They say that His Majesty has issued an edict and that Old Master and Old Mistress are urging you two masters to hurry over."

  It must be a joyful occasion for His Majesty to issue an imperial edict. Xiao Er and Xiao San naturally did not dare to delay, and hurriedly went to the main hall.

  Firecrackers suddenly shook the sky with a loud noise, crackling and popping for a long time.

  Mozi propped up his elbow, buzzing in his ears, thinking that Jing Wang Fu was wealthy and extravagant, hosting a birthday banquet would use up hundreds of taels of silver on firecrackers.

  What's wrong with you? Mozi is not elsewhere, but is a guest at "good friend" Yuancheng's home.

  This July 7th, Qixi Festival, Girls' Day, also known as the Cowherd and Weaving Maiden's Day of love, but don't get me wrong. The dinner invitation from Yuan Chengyuan, who was secretly crowned by Mozi as the star of Zhou's political and social scene, was a very pure and polite one. It just so happened that it coincided with this day, and they called it responding to the festival atmosphere. Moreover, she wasn't the only one invited, there was also Xu Jiu. As for the person drinking and eating meat loudly beside her, that was Zan Jin.

  Zan said, being able to save one meal is one meal, and she came with the determination to eat one meal that can last for three days.

  Looking at that eating appearance, Xu Jiu's chin dropped down, and after adjusting it, he asked Mozi with concern: "Is it expensive to raise everyone?"

  Unable to determine the strategy of playing dead, Mozi and Xian'er said goodbye, from now on, Zanjin officially belongs to her. Didn't she get 100 taels of silver from Meixin last time? Moreover, Qiu San Niang also gave her 2,000 taels of principal. She can be considered as starting to pursue a life of moderate prosperity.

  Ming ran in, looking at the atmosphere on the seat so quiet and peaceful, three handsome men with different characteristics, not speaking, each drinking their own wine. Only Zan made a loud noise, ruining the overall beauty.

  "Your Excellency, the Imperial Decree has just been received from the Palace, promoting Old Lady Xiao to First-Rank Virtuous Wife, promoting King Jing's wife Wei Qiongyu to First Concubine, and ordering Sixth Miss Xiao of the Xiao family, Xiao Mingru, to enter the palace for selection as an imperial concubine in September."

  Xu Jiujiao said, "The Xiang family, this foreign surname Wang, is more favored than the Wu surname Wang Hou. For an old lady's birthday, the emperor promotes one and grants titles to another. If a daughter of the Xiang family were to be selected into the palace and become a noble consort, that would be the peak of their glory."

  A vision of Xiao Mingrou's delicate face, with a subtle smile and an enchanting gaze, floated before his eyes. Born so beautiful, and born into the esteemed Wang family, it seemed inevitable that she would accompany the king by his side...

  "A seventeen-year-old delicate beauty accompanies a fifty or sixty-year-old old man, is this what they call glory?" She took a small sip of wine, the sweet flavor of peaches. Yuan Cheng's family may be poor and shabby, but there are not many good things."

  Xu Jiutou spat out a mouthful of wine and said loudly, "Mo brother, you dare to say this? I admire you."

  Yuancheng clenched his fist, slightly covering his lips, "Mo Ge, Emperor Da Zhou is only 40 years old this year, in the prime of life. If Xiao Liu can be favored, it's not really humiliating."

  Mozhi lightly cut in, utterly disapproving.

  At this time, Mei Shan hastily entered the hall.

  The news of Sanren Street has finally arrived.
