suspected wife

That night, when Zhou Yanqing returned to the mansion, a row of red lanterns were already lit up in the courtyard.Candlelight is flickering, and the red lanterns are still slightly rippling with the night wind.

Seeing his sixth master returning to the mansion, the guard at the gate nodded and bowed to welcome him in.

Zhou Yanqing glanced left and right, but saw no one in the daytime, but felt that it was the right time to come back today.There are no noisy things guarding the road, and the ears are much quieter.

It was late at night, and Master Saturday didn't want to go to the room to ask for comfort, so he went straight to his courtyard to take a beautiful bath, came out of the bathtub fragrantly, and drank another cup of fragrant tea brought by the servant, and finally Turn around and go to the study to deal with general affairs.

Grandpa Saturday thought that his ears would be quiet tonight, but he didn't expect that there was a sound coming from the door before his butt was hot.

"Has Master Liu come back? Shitou, report to me quickly. I have brought supper to Master Liu. I have been stewing this chicken soup for a whole day. He must have not eaten properly after he has been running around all day. This will just make up for it." Make up for it."

Shi Shitou, Lord Saturday's personal servant, couldn't help looking up at the sky.

In the night sky, it was dark, and there were no stars to see.

His family's sixth master was most annoyed by these women who were all smelly, and he couldn't bear to deal with them. He thought he could have a quiet night, but he didn't expect to come again.

It's just that these people are all related to the mansion, either the old ladies or the wives. He is only a servant and dare not offend others severely.

"Miss Wu, look, it's already too late. You see, our master is about to rest, so we don't need this chicken soup."

Brother Shishi felt that his tone was mild, so he refused.The young lady in front of him probably wouldn't do anything to him.It would be best if he could turn around and go back immediately after hearing what he said, so that he wouldn't have to offend anyone, and he would have fulfilled the purpose of his sixth master to let him stick to the study.

Unexpectedly, he had the right idea in his heart, when he heard the maid holding the chicken soup next to Miss Wu scold: "You dog slave! You also know that it will be too late? Didn't you see my lady said that the chicken soup is already stewed?" It's been a day! It's going to be cold in a while, and my lady's business has been delayed, let's see if I want to hit you!"

Brother Shitou is so angry, as the most shameless servant next to the sixth master in the mansion, when has he ever been called a "dog slave"?

Immediately became angry.

You are not polite, and said: "I am a dog slave. What are you? I just came to live with your lady, so I have the nerve to make a loud noise in front of my grandfather's study!"

The lady surnamed Wu heard this, and her face was a little uncomfortable.

He glared at the girl next to him. Was it because he was afraid that the people inside would not be able to hear such a loud voice?

He hurriedly took out a purse from his body and stuffed it into the stone, but he didn't let him refuse.She smiled and said: "Shitou, you don't have to be as knowledgeable as her. She just saw that I boiled chicken soup for your grandfather all day, and waited so late to bring it all the way. It's all hard work for me. Please tell your grandfather for me, I don't bother him either. I'll leave with the chicken soup."

Shi Shi secretly squeezed the purse in his hand, there were a few hard pieces.I am very happy.

But he didn't dare to let people in.Turning his eyes and thinking about Zhe, he saw two more people walking in the darkness, a master and a servant.

As we approached, I realized that it was not the niece of the old lady's natal family who came back, but the old lady's natal family.

The Miss Lin who came here is even more embarrassing in front of the old lady.Half of the year is spent living in the mansion.Not long ago, I went home because of Zhongqiu, and this time I was taken over again.

Whether it's the old lady or the Lin family.They all hope that the natal sister of the former sixth wife can be the successor of his sixth master.

Miss Wu's family naturally saw the beautiful woman who came lingering in the night.The hand holding the embroidered handkerchief tightened, wishing to twist the handkerchief out of the flowers.

How dare a merchant girl compete with her?Her father is the magistrate!

"Yo, Sister Lin, it's so late, and you brought chicken soup too? The news is well-informed."

The lady at the exit was surnamed Wu, and her boudoir name was Wu Jiao.She is the concubine sister of the eldest wife of the Zhou family.Both sisters are concubine daughters of the magistrate.

Originally, she was the daughter of a magistrate. Although she was a concubine, she was also the daughter of an official family. Not to mention a high marriage, even if she found a child from an ordinary official family, she could marry and be a decent lady.

But who let the Zhou family in Beijing show their faces in front of the Holy One again.

Besides, the prefect of Wu has served two consecutive terms, and he has long been looking forward to being promoted and becoming a Beijing official.But his political achievements are mediocre, so if he wants to be a Beijing official, he must have connections.

If he can marry a concubine to the Zhou family whose business is in the capital, and with the support of the Zhou family in Beijing, is he afraid that he will not be able to make a move?

Hearing what the eldest daughter said, he packed up and sent the concubine daughter here a long time ago.

And the lady from the Lin family who came over again in the dark, her boudoir name is Biyu.She is the daughter of the old lady's natal brother.

Mrs. Lin's family is also a merchant, so she and the Zhou family are in the same family.It's just that there is no one in the Lin family, and the business is not as big as the Zhou family.Since ancient times, officials and businessmen have relied on money to support officials, while businesses have relied on officials to establish relationships.

The Lin family naturally wants to curry favor with the Zhou family.

After hearing Wu Jiao's words, Lin Biyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and laughed softly: "I don't have a sister who is well-informed. Sister, I boiled a pot of chicken soup for my cousin. I took it for my aunt, but my aunt said that I was filial. I thought that my cousin would be tired after a day of running around, so I made a pot of tea. It’s not as good as my sister’s chicken soup. It’s just that I drank it tonight The chicken soup is probably too greasy."

Seeing that the two ladies were about to fight again, Shitou felt that his head was as big as a fight.

These two young ladies, since they came to Zhou's house, they both felt that they had the chance to win, and neither of them would accept the other.

A niece from the mother's family who is an old lady and a cousin, no one looks down on her.

And the other has a father who is a magistrate, and is also the sister of the mother's family who is the wife of the head of the house, and has also used a lot of power to harass many people.Relying on having a father who is an official, with eyes on the top of his head, the wives don't pay attention to him.

It was his unlucky servants who suffered.

This time, because of the order of his sixth master.Guard the study so that no one can enter.Seeing that the two ladies were about to fight at the door again, I had no choice but to comfort my scalp: "You two ladies, it's getting late, my sixth master has been away for a day, and he has accumulated a lot of housework. Get ready. Finish it soon so you can rest earlier. The two ladies should be more considerate and come back tomorrow."

After the two ladies listened, one said that they would not bother for too long, so they just put chicken soup and watched Master Liu finish his drink before leaving.The other said that only tea was brought in.Don't delay, just let go.

Shitou was named "Shitou" by his family's sixth master because of his clumsy mouth. How could he resist this!

I was so anxious that sweat broke out on my forehead, and his sixth master didn't even make a sound inside.

Just when he couldn't resist, another person came from afar.

Shi Shi just felt that he shouldn't have robbed another servant today.Do you think it is such an easy job to keep the goal?

The one who came was Liu Ye's beautiful concubine, named Liniang, who was gifted by the uncle of the Beijing clan.

Seeing this person, the two young ladies who were standing at the door became angry with each other.

Qi Qi snorted in her nostrils, she was just a concubine, and the mistress was gone, so she was frightened!When I enter the door, I want you to look good!big night.It's autumn, and I'm still dressed so thinly.It's red, yellow and green, and it's singing!

This Liniang didn't seem to see the eyes of the two ladies, she just said to Shitou with a pleasant face: "Where is the master in there? I came back so late, I don't know if I have eaten enough outside, but I drank wine? I will give you a drink." Grandpa has prepared hangover soup and a table of food and wine, which have been warmed up several times. I just wait for Grandpa to come back and eat. Shitou, please tell Grandpa for me."

Stone is very difficult.

This person can be regarded as having some status in the mansion.

His grandfather went to the capital, and was sent by the uncle of Zhou Mansion in Beijing.It is said that she is a lady from a down-and-out official family.The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also picked up at random. They are good-looking and have a good temper. And because they are gifts from Zhou's family in Beijing, the old lady in the mansion also wants to give them some face.

In addition, there is no mistress in the sixth room, and she is the only aunt, and she usually takes care of most of the master's affairs.

Stone didn't want to offend people either.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, Wu Jiao said to Liniang, "You are just a concubine. If the mistress is gone, you will lose face. But everything must be said first come first, first come first, I am the first to come. Brother Zhou wants to eat, so he accepted my appointment first."

Lin Biyu frowned after hearing this, but she didn't say anything. She and Wu Jiao are on the same side now, and she has long disliked this Liniang.

He usually looks harmless to humans and animals, but he doesn't know what's going on inside.Can the daughter of a good family be a concubine?

Liniang over there didn't feel annoyed when she heard Wu Jiao's words, but instead covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, she said: "Miss Wu and Cousin Lin are both visiting the mansion, if my sixth master is sleepy or tired , you two are unmarried, it is not easy to serve, right?"

When Wu Jiao heard this, she jumped up: "You are so shameless! The two of us just made soup and tea for Brother Zhou, but you are thinking of going to that dirty place. See if I won't tell the boss tomorrow. Wife and Eldest Wife. If you want to ruin my reputation, it depends on whether my father agrees or not!"

Lin Biyu couldn't help but choked.

This recruiter is a wife and a concubine, she is here to be a regular wife, she doesn't want to be accused of fame, and in the end she can only be wronged and become a concubine.

Isn't it just thinking of pulling people into her room?Now that the mistress of the sixth house is gone, isn't she a concubine who came to power?

Like Wu Jiao, she is not angry.

The voice is getting higher and higher.

However, Liniang's voice was always gentle, she didn't look angry at all, she still had a good temper.It made those two people even more angry when they saw her like this.

The voices of the two young ladies, Lin and Wu, became louder and louder. You might as well hear a "bang" sound from the study, as if something was slamming on the door.

Shitou was startled, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly drove the people out with his hands: "Three aunts, I beg you, the night is getting dark, you three should go back to the courtyard to rest. My grandfather is very angry. Now, the younger one will have to be boarded again. Two young ladies, Aunt Li, please do me a favor."

Naturally, Liniang, Wu Jiao and Lin Biyu also heard the noise in the study, and they were also startled.

Even the old lady couldn't control the sixth master's temper.Immediately, he stopped talking, and timidly glanced at the study, the portable maid greased the soles of her feet and slipped away.

In the study, Zhou Yanqing heard the sound of footsteps going away, rubbed his forehead with his hands, and exhaled several breaths in succession before he recovered... (To be continued.
