Chapter 181 The Night
Mrs. Fang Zheng beckoned Feng Yuejiao to come to her for questioning. Mrs. Wang Zheng taught her daughter a lesson. Wang Wenhui was dissatisfied that her mother did not defend herself and always favored her aunt. The hall became lively again, talking non-stop here, arguing endlessly there, Mrs. Zheng got impatient, and asked Mother Lin to arrange servants to send Feng Yuejiao and Wang Wenhui back to their rooms, and it was quiet now After coming down, the two daughters gathered around her to talk again.

Wang Zhengshi was dizzy from Wang Wenhui's quarrel, frowned and mentioned the matter of the second son of the Peng family taking a concubine before he got married: "Since I came to the capital, should I really visit the Peng family in person? See what the truth is!"

Mrs. Fang Zheng listened, looked at her and said, "What? Are you still worried about what I do? Then Mrs. Peng and I have known each other since we were young. Her natal family is also a well-known family, and her father used to be Jing Zhaoyin; In the scholarly family, there have been two champions in the five generations, many Jinshi and the first... Even now, there are no less than five or six Peng family members who have become officials! Such a family has extremely strict family rules, and it is not a last resort. , the Peng family will not accept that concubine for the second son! Originally, they asked to come to the Hou's mansion, and wanted to marry their daughter-in-law back in advance, but I didn't agree! Can it be changed at will? That would be bad for Wen Hui! Besides, our daughter Jin Gui lives, how can we marry for joy? To put it bluntly, if the second son of his family can't get better at that time, we can still..."

Mrs. Zheng just wanted to praise Fang Zheng for not agreeing to change the wedding date. She frowned after hearing what she said, and waved her hands: "Okay, don't say it! It's fine, it's fine. It’s not good, and it’s not good for us! But what Wen Hui said that day is also reasonable: If the second son of the Peng family and the concubine’s room have a concubine first, he is afraid that the second son of Peng’s family will cherish the eldest son and favor the concubine’s room in the future. It is not uncommon to have a rift... This kind of thing is not unheard of, and it is really necessary to guard against it! Since it is a marriage between two families, if they want to make a good relationship for a hundred years, naturally they can't be sloppy, so as to avoid future resentment. Men should have three or more concubines after marriage. It's also good for the family to spread out branches and leaves, and extend the heirs. No one can say this, but it has to be after the wedding period! We have already understood that the second son of the Peng family is seriously ill and needs to be happy, so let's take a step back. They should also respect their in-laws No matter what, you shouldn't let the concubine conceive and have children before the main wife, that would be unfair to Wenhui! The second girl doesn't need to come forward, since the eldest girl has been taking care of this matter, you can go to Peng's house to inquire again, and by the way Explain this to his mistress!"

Mrs. Wang Zheng nodded, and Mrs. Zheng on the other side said with a smile: "Then I will trouble my sister! Wen Hui's life-long affairs are all taken care of by my sister, but this girl is ignorant, ungrateful and contradicting you... When they get married, I will let her take care of you." A new couple kowtows to their sister as a big gift!"

A complex and obscure expression flashed across Fang Zheng's face, and he hummed: "I have never seen parents like you. You live comfortably at home, but a pair of children are thrown far away in the capital. I will help you." Take care of me, Wen Yuan goes to school, Wen Hui gets married, which one is not because I am exhausted running around, but you can live with peace of mind! Those who don’t know think I am your slave!”

"Oh, it's a lot of work for those who are able! Sister, don't complain. I'm going to live with my sister tomorrow for a few days. Sister, I will accompany you every day to go shopping in the street fairs. I will take you to eat food that is famous for being a good company. You have to take a fancy to it." What interesting things, I bought them all for you, okay?"

"That's what you said, you'll regret it later and watch me beat you!"

"Don't worry, I will remember it! Hahaha!"

Mrs. Zheng watched the two daughters bickering and playing, and remembered the happy days when the daughters were mother and daughter before they got married. In a blink of an eye, she was almost seventy years old, and her daughters had become grandmothers. She felt relieved and moved , Hehehe followed with a smile.

The mother and daughter sat and talked for a while, and Mother Lin reminded the old lady to take medicine and rest, and the Zheng sisters bid farewell to their mother, left Anhetang, and went back to rest together.

Fang Zheng saw his younger sister Wang Zheng walking into the Changxi Courtyard, so she sent back the two maids and two servants who had come over from Anhetang with a lantern to show them the way, and let the girl Xianghong run back a few steps first. Chang Leyuan had people prepare hot water, and I and Ren's mother walked slowly behind while taking advantage of the not too bright moonlight.

Hearing Fang Zheng's repeated sighs, Mother Ren hurriedly asked: "What's the matter with my aunt? If you have something to say, tell me, and the old slave will listen to you and see what you think. Don't be bored in your heart, you will get sick if you are bored." Come!"

Fang Zheng sighed: "It's not because of Wen Hui's marriage, that girl is really worrying!"

Mother Ren curled her lips: "You should have known that Miss Wenhui is not a worry-free person, her eyes are so sharp that she can see everything she does, and her nose is so sharp that she can come here looking for scents from afar! Ever since they were young, Baochan and Baozhang have never been able to hide from her that they have something good to eat, and it is absolutely impossible to eat it behind her back, so when they took it out, she broke through the door and ran over!"

Fang Zheng smiled wryly: "This girl is like a nemesis, a debt collector! She is not likable at all! You make it right, but she is going to die and make a fuss about retiring... Wen Yuan is also troublesome! Every man, his mouth Not reliable, say anything!"

Mother Ren said: "Oh! If you want to say that the second master of the Peng family shouldn't be, he took his concubine's room all over the street, and if the brother-in-law bumped into him, he didn't need to panic. He even hugged and protected the concubine's room like a treasure." , what is this called!"

Fang Zheng was bored for a while, and asked: "I took you to Peng's house a few days ago, I talked to Mrs. Peng, and later I called the concubine's room to meet, and you saw it outside, so you probably don't see anything. right?"

Mother Ren said: "It's only been more than three months, and the girl is wearing loose clothes, you can't tell!"

Mrs. Fang Zheng was a little worried: "Girl Wenhui is making a lot of trouble. Now even the old lady says that the concubine's room cannot have children first, but she has been pregnant for more than three months. How could she get rid of her because of a few unhappy words for us?" ? Originally, the Peng family was willing to marry that woman because they had an heir!"

Mother Ren pursed her lips and said: "Now there is such a shameless girl's family, she dares to have no name or status... Sigh! The world is not ancient!"

"If in our family, a pair of tiger wolf medicine gave the fetus, all the troubles would be eliminated. No matter how unwilling Wenhui was, she would have to marry! But now the old lady supports her, only concubines are not allowed to have children, but for Wenhui Grabbing the vine and climbing up, if she wants to let her know that the concubine is pregnant, she must make a fuss!"

Mother Ren heard Fang Zheng's talk about tiger wolf medicine, she looked around quickly, and said softly: "My wife, keep your voice down, this is the Hou's Mansion... If people listen to this, they will think that we really have that kind of medicine. Medicine, if there is an accident with the young wives and mistresses in the mansion in the future, we won't be able to pick it up!"

Mother Ren's words aroused another concern in Fang Zhengshi's mind, and she asked, "Who is hiding the news at the Yuhui Courtyard?"

Mother Ren said: "Mrs. Chi is very smart. If I don't see the old lady, she won't let go, so I can't point her out! It's okay to talk about the other affairs of Yuhui Courtyard, but let some big girls like vixen take care of the room. If you don't do it, even the second-class girl can't enter the house at will if she has nothing to do, as if the golden Buddha is enshrined in the house! Mrs. Zhong and Ruyi are quite obedient, but they are placed in the Hanjin courtyard, far away! An Hetang gave her Of the other four little girls, three rushed to live in Hanjin Courtyard, and only one who passed the fire to boil water stayed in Yuhui Courtyard!"

"Burning fire girl? You just squat on the stove every day, and you can't even walk up and down the corridor. What can you find out? It's useless at all!"

Mother Ren wrinkled her face and said, "What can I do? In Yuhui Courtyard, no one is sympathetic. I want to go in for a stroll, but the gatekeepers are all staring at me, making me hairy!"

Mrs. Fang Zheng snorted: "Xia Yiqing, who does she think she is? This is the Hou's mansion in the capital, not her old Xia's house in the south of the Yangtze River! The Yuhui Courtyard is for her to live in, not for her to occupy and do whatever she wants, or for her to live in it. Let no one go in, what about her? Let her wait, and one day, let her see how amazing my aunt is!"

Seeing that she had reached the gate of the courtyard, Mother Ren hurried forward to open the door, and said, "Come in quickly, madam. You can say whatever you want when you go back to your own room. Outside, you always feel that there are people here and there, and you won't feel at ease no matter how you whisper." !"

The two masters and servants entered the courtyard door, closed the door with a bang, lowered the bolt, and there was silence all around.

There are scale-shaped clouds in the sky that cover the moon, the moonlight is not as bright and hazy as in the past, the far and near scenes in the garden seem to be shrouded in smoke, and the shaded flowers and forests are still dark, there are two night sleepers Suddenly the bird was startled and flew up, fluttering its wings and fleeing to the flowers not far away to spend the night.

Leaning slightly, a man's low voice suddenly sounded in the empty garden where no one could be seen:

"Hey, tell me, that woman is very clever, we didn't even show her a shadow, and she actually said that she felt someone staring at her... Chick!"

"I've done too many bad things, you are suspicious! Listen to what they say. If you let Hou Ye hear it yourself, you will be terrified! The charming young lady is at home, and she is only for the aunt to bully!"

"I don't think the young lady is so easy to bully!"

"Well, this young lady is quite admirable. She is young, smart and capable. She has only been in the house for three or two months, and she has shared a lot of affairs for Lord Hou. No wonder Lord Hou is willing to change his mind and stop guarding the house over there. She's a 'beauty with tears'!"

"Hey! I wouldn't even choose that 'Beauty of Tears'! What the hell, I fell ill today, fainted tomorrow, and fell the day after tomorrow... Ancestor, my wife is reluctant to torment Lord Hou so much, if you really marry her back home , tsk tsk! How can Master Hou live his life?"

"Isn't that why you're not married? Worry about it! Go quickly, go to the front and squat two more places, half an hour each time, and we'll be on duty tonight! Oh, by the way, do you remember what the aunt and mother-in-law said just now?" Go back and report to Brother Du, it seems that the Yuhui Court needs to be guarded more closely, and the girls under the Young Madam should be reminded to find an excuse to send out the person placed by the aunt... This time, Lord Hou Secret guards are specially placed in the inner house, one is to prevent 'foreign thieves', and the other is to prevent family chaos! Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if something goes wrong, the punishment will be minor, I'm sorry, Lord Hou!"

"Got it, I remember it! Let's go!"

Two night guards in gray and black tights appeared one after another in the thick shade. They made sure that there would be no more women in the inner house walking on this road at this moment, so they continued to parade along the corridor, and soon bypassed a rockery, and disappeared again. .
