After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 113
Seeing that Shengjing is getting better and better day by day, although there is still a shortage of food, everyone is working hard. The streets are decorated with lights and colorful decorations, preparing for the upcoming New Year.

She has gotten a little older recently and her body is not as agile as usual, so Yujin has taken over all the work of reading the ledgers, and she is happy to be free.

"Then Mr. Yan is of some use. The dark meatballs he sent a few days ago look scary. Madam, after eating them, the effect is pretty good."

Yu Jin had dark circles under his eyes, but he was happy to see her eating so much.

Of the two, Ke Yiqing didn't look like he was poisoned, but she did.

Even Zi Xing often made fun of her, asking her if she went to the woodshed to wipe the pot bottom with ashes.

At this time, she smiled lazily and said: "Yes, after eating, my appetite is much better."

Yujin's eyes were dim. He had eaten so much, but he didn't have any flesh on his body. He only had a big belly. If it weren't for the grease, his face would be very ugly.

Ke Yiqing didn't know what she was thinking, so he got up early every day to put on makeup, and then called someone in to wash her up.

She has been in a good mood recently. Firstly, her body is not so bulky and she can still keep an eye on many things. She feels very at ease. Secondly, Yan Ming has sent the grain that was withheld early.

The rice grains were piled high in the warehouse, and she was very happy to see them.

Li Wei called Zi Xing from a distance and said he wanted to deliver some letters.

Since she moved into this courtyard, as a foreigner, he couldn't live with her in the same courtyard, so he simply bought the house next door and opened up the two courtyards. It was convenient for people who often came and went.

Zi Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran in to deliver the letter.

It actually belongs to Yan Ming.

"Ma'am, what's in the letter?"

"He knows that your current master can't teach you anymore, so he found an expert. I'll take you to see it when I'm free tomorrow."

Zi Xing was happy.

She was amused, but she had no intention of sparing the girl, "Didn't I invite a female gentleman here before? Why can't I read the letter?"

Not only that, but she had seen it, and the girl's handwriting was also ugly.

Yu Jin also spoke at this time, "Yes, you are a little girl, and the female teacher said that she has never seen such a doggy style, not even me."

Earlier, she had grown up with his wife and knew some words, but Ke Yiqing planned to educate people, so he listened to Yu Changsheng's suggestion and hired a female teacher to teach this young girl.

The female gentleman is none other than Mr. Wang’s daughter, Wang Jinghui.

Zi Xing was pouty at what these two said to each other, but she also knew that what they said was absolutely true.

"If you practice calligraphy well, Xiaoyu will come in to celebrate the New Year with you."

"Really?"

Ke Yiqing pretended to be angry, "When has Madam ever lied to you?"

The little girl was happy when she heard that, and walked out of the yard step by step. With such a promise, she would practice martial arts diligently today to make time for calligraphy practice.

When Yu Jin saw the person walking away, he said, "How is Master Yan's marriage?"

"The letter said that I rejected it. Now I am locked up at home facing the wall and thinking about my mistakes. I don't know if it is true or not." He said that he didn't know the truth, but he was already happy.

Yu Jin sighed, Madam really couldn't let go of Master Yan.

Ke Yiqing didn't know anything about it. She just hummed and opened the second letter. It wasn't really a letter, and the words were scrawled. It was just a more formal note at best.

Just looking at it, her face became heavy.

"Ma'am, what's wrong?"

"This is from the Marquis Mansion. It is said that the old lady invited me to celebrate her birthday."

Although it is abrupt, it is not surprising.

Mrs. Pingyang Hou is already seventy years old, so her birthday should be planned well.

But now everyone in the house would murmur when they saw her, so how could they send her messages so diligently?
I heard that the old lady had already built up a lot of property in order to redeem the second master. Recently, the second master went in again because of gambling troubles. It is estimated that in order to make money, this big family borrowed a lot of debts.

Can anything good happen to her now?
"No one in the Hou family knows about Gu Zhennan's death, right?"

"No, I heard that we plan to notify you after the next year."

Thinking about it, Gu Zhennan's death was bizarre and tragic. Although his family was in decline, he was an official at least. Those people wanted to suppress the news before the new year and wait until the death was too late to tell the family members.Even if you want to investigate the cause of death, you won't be able to find out anything.

Officials protect each other, but what will happen in the end?

Ke Yiqing lamented this, as evil people will be punished by evil people.

"Ma'am, are you planning to go?"

"Go, why not go?"

Originally, she didn't want to bring bad luck to the old lady, but if the other party took the initiative to cause trouble for her, don't blame her.

"Pick out some ginseng and consider it as a gift."

Yu Jin hummed and said: "That old guy, do you want something really good?"

"If you don't have anything good to hang, how can you watch what's going on next to each other?"

"Madam still has a way."

She smiled and stopped talking, took out her best outfit, dressed up to look more charming, and then went out.

Speaking of which, this old lady was able to survive after going to jail and enduring so many tortures, which was partly due to her contribution.

If she hadn't nodded and sent rice and rice over charcoal fire, this old guy would definitely not have been able to survive these days.

Before leaving, she thought about it and took Xie Li with her. It didn't matter if he died, but don't rely on her.

The three of them got on the carriage together, which was filled with thick mattresses. Aunt Li stuffed a lot of Tangbaozi into it, which was quite warm. Ke Yiqing dozed off as soon as she got on.

Xie Li pulled her over to check her pulse and said strangely: "You are feeling surprisingly well."

"What happened?"

Xie Li thought for a moment and couldn't explain clearly, so he kept it in his mind silently.

"What are your thoughts on going to the Hou Mansion this time?"

"What ideas can I have? It's just a matter of time and again."

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, aren't you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of?"

Xie Li breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the Ke Yiqing I know!"

She stuffed a candied fruit into someone's mouth and felt warm in her heart with such a friend who spoke uprightly.

Although it had only been more than a month since she moved out, she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the current Hou Mansion.

The main road was occupied by a porridge shop, and the carriage could only go around the small path. When passing by Xiyuan, the door that had been smashed open was still not repaired.

The courtyard of the house inside was also wide open and looked like it had been robbed.

No wonder Wang Suyun was unwilling to go back after being kicked out. This place didn't look like it could be habitable. It was a pity for Aunt Xue and Yu Jin, who had previously kept Xiyuan in good order.

When Manager Li limped out, Ke Yiqing took a long time to recognize him.

"But Manager Li?"

The man who was so thin that he was just skin and bones stared with big eyes, babbling and nodding, and his mouth was slurred.

Yu Jin whispered: "When Mr. Gu came back earlier, Manager Li was dragged to Dali Temple for questioning. He heard that he was dishonest and had his tongue amputated."

She was so horrified that her heart skipped a beat, and she asked, probably because of the riots in Jingnan three years ago. Three years later, another disaster occurred in Jingnan, and the court would definitely not let it go.

"What about Aunt Xue?"

Xie Li said: "Perhaps it was your sweetheart who saved him. I heard a few officials' wives mention it, but there was no news."

Since the trouble did not involve Aunt Xue, she felt relieved.

The three of them followed Guanshi Li into the Pingyang Hou Mansion, which was full of desolation.
