Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 119, check in

There is an extra daughter-in-law for no reason, no status and no wealth, Mrs. Nanyang Hou strictly forbids her family members to mention this matter. It has nothing to do with Luan Jing's marriage, but she is annoyed when she mentions it.

Of course she doesn't blame her son, Luan Jing: "Who did my son do this for? Your sister married a good man! She gave birth to a good nephew! Molested women in broad daylight, just pay a few taels of silver, your nephew It's really promising, a man can be scratched by a woman, and he can't be sued by a woman. If he gets to the point where he can't deal with him, are all the people with him fools! Did he meet a female Vajra Yaksha?"

Nanyanghou was pretending to be angry at first, but now he was really angry, he raised his hands and his chest heaved slightly, and when he was about to reply harshly, Mrs. Hou's words burst out again like a cannonball.

"Your brother-in-law usually said well that if you have a good official position, you should repay your uncle first. As a result, you and Qinghe Hou have been invited to dinner and money in the Ministry of Officials for him. You have not been there for a year. Being transferred back by your nephew's affairs, you can't get out of the Ministry of Justice when you come back. My aunt only knows to wash her face with tears, and she will wash her face with tears when she returns to her mother's house. It's either you or me who pays for the money before and after running! Now I'm tired of my son, Hou Lord, don't talk about me!"

"You, you, you" Nanyanghou pointed his finger over, shook it a few times, and yelled, "Zhou Quan!"

Butler Zhou trotted in.

"I have the final say at home! You clean up the guest room and ask your in-laws to stay. The in-laws send their children to Beijing for the exam. If they get official positions, they are also the arms of my Nanyang Marquis. Tell me, three meals a day plus Tea, water and charcoal fire cannot be deducted, whoever dares to neglect the in-laws, will not be able to stay in this mansion!"

After Nanyang Hou finished speaking, he left in a flick of his sleeves. Mrs. Hou fell backwards in anger, and stood there with her legs stiff.

"Clap!"

The curtain of the door came down to send Nanyang Hou away. Madam Hou burst into tears and cried, "I am the only one who can't stay in this mansion. I have suffered in this mansion for 20 years, serving my parents-in-law and my sister-in-law well After giving birth to a son, if I did something wrong, I will be reprimanded by Lord Hou face to face, Zhou Quan, pack up my dowry, let's go home."

Housekeeper Zhou Quan is Madam Hou's dowry. He is the second steward of Nanyang Hou's mansion, and is the second steward of Nanyang Hou's mansion. The second steward can be a person who handles specific tasks, which is better than ordering ordinary family members.

Zhou Quan cautiously said: "Madam calm down, you have suffered in this mansion for 20 years, and you have given birth to a son, why do you want to leave? If you want to leave, it is the Marquis who calmed down outside, don't you think?"

The close girl dared to speak, so she also came to persuade her. Mrs. Hou wiped away her tears: "Go, Zhou Quan, entertain your in-laws as Master Hou ordered." She squeezed these words through her teeth, and sneered again: " The bride price of more than 2 yuan has been spent, I don't care about spending a few days for tea and dinner, I want to see what kind of brilliance can the poor scholars from small places in other provinces, who have countless celebrities in this capital?"

With a wave of his sleeves: "I'll wait and see!" He said firmly.

After eating, Qi Xi and the others were ushered into the guest room and saw that the quilts were still warm and clean. The quilts they brought did not need to be unpacked. The charcoal fire was brought and there was also hot tea. Housekeeper Zhou talked for half an hour and explained that he had many things to do. The in-laws and masters forgot.

"I asked other people to accompany me. I think my in-laws have seen it?"

Of course Qi Xi won't reveal it, this is Yanyan's future home, and she will live with her children for a period of time, no matter where she starts from, she can't be proud of anyone in the house.

Qi Yue couldn't stand listening, so he walked up and said back and forth: "Second Uncle, I'm going." He deliberately didn't talk about Duke Huguo's Mansion, a slave like Zhou Quan doesn't deserve to listen.

"Okay, when you see the second child, say hello to me and say that I will visit him tomorrow." Qi Xi didn't say anything.

Zhou Quan was not curious, but asked: "It's getting dark, where is this young master going, do you want me to show you the way, there is a curfew in Beijing, if you go to the outer city, you won't be able to come back tonight if you go far away."

"Not far."

Qi Yue walked out as he spoke, and the one with him was Xiao Zuo Qi Tao, the guest room was not far from the corner gate, and Qi Yue had never been willing to live in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion, he took every step he took, always feeling that he would rush out of the door again. If you don't return, it will be a joke to ask for directions.

Although the two teenagers came out for the first time, they walked out of the corner door as if they were familiar with the road, and stood on the street. Qi Tao's words were full of words: "This butler is blind, and he opened his mouth to say that we are going to the outer city? Can't we go to the inner city?" Someone is walking around, brother Yue, are you angry? I’ve been angry since the charcoal fire was cold, believe it or not, I’ll bet you that Second Uncle Yuan must be eating and drinking spicy food in the Duke’s mansion now, better than us.”

"Yes, why don't you believe me, Second Uncle Yuan was invited by the son of Duke Huguo, you and I are uninvited guests of the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion." Qi Yue replied indiscriminately.

"When I get the official position in the imperial examination, I only recognize Yanyan in my eyes, not Nanyang Marquis Mansion. Brother Yue, do you remember? What the hell, it's not that our family is eager to marry him. If the marriage was not settled at that time, You must report the son of this mansion to the Ministry of Punishment."

As Qi Tao talked, his petty insults turned into petty insults, with some cursing in between.

Qi Yue didn't stop him, he used all his body and mind to get angry with the Nanyang Houfu. He started to think about it from the gate, thinking about it over and over again, telling himself over and over again in his heart that Chunwei must pass the Zhongdian test, otherwise Yanyan would be in such a situation. People are not angry at home.

Qi Yue had to be courageous at this time, for the sake of Yanyan, he repeatedly told himself contemptuously that the Marquis Mansion is nothing, if I don't get the Marquis Mansion in the future, I can still get a good official position and oppress the Marquis Mansion.

It's not difficult to ask about the Duke's Mansion. About half an hour later, the two teenagers stood opposite the gate of the Duke's Mansion, looked at the gate lit with red lanterns, and asked each other in unison, "Do you want to bet?"

"What's the bet?" Qi Tao asked back.

Qi Yue frowned heavily: "If we ask people from the gate, we can enter through this gate."

Qi Tao pulled out his sleeves: "My mother said that when I go out, I want to be rich, but being rich is in terms of food, clothing, housing and reading. I bet you a hundred coins, are you satisfied?"

"One hundred coins is too much, ten coins." Qi Yue also counted out ten coins.

The two teenagers held their hearts against the wall, at most it was the same as at the gate of Nanyang Marquis Mansion. When they met the rude gatekeeper, they were scolded by him a few words.They went up the steps of the Lord Protector's Palace.

The weather was cold, and most of the gatekeepers were warming the fire in the gatehouse. Hearing the sound of footsteps, one of them turned out, nodded first and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

With this active question, Qi Yue felt that his eyes suddenly became better, his smile became more natural, and his posture became more natural. After all, when he went to someone else's door, he was more attentive: "I'm looking for Second Master Yuan, oh, it's the family. my second uncle,

When he said this, he wanted to further explain that he was brought to Beijing by Yuan Lian, and the gatekeeper suddenly realized: "Is it a scholar from Xinji?"
