Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 313 The Uninvited Guest

"The Chief Secretary of Yuecheng has experienced Mr. Zheng?" Bai Bi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the self-introduction of the visitor, and there was no respect or politeness in his tone after meeting a court official. He only said in a formal way: "Mr. It seems that I didn't hand in the greeting card in advance, unfortunately, Master Hou is not at home, why don't you come back another day?"

Recently, a lot of strangers from other places have come to the city. What are those people busy with these days? He can roughly guess that Mr. Zheng is probably here for the same purpose, but this man's heart is really not small , dare to find them directly to the Ding'an Hou Mansion, is it because other officials can't get through, or do you think the weight is not enough?

After hearing Bai Bi's answer, the middle-aged Zheng Jingli expressed regret. After hesitating for a while, he took a second look at the pale Bai Bi and asked tentatively, "May I ask what the housekeeper's name is?" Whispering, the housekeeper of Ding'an Hou Mansion is so young?I don't know if I can call the shots.

Bai Bi glanced at him, "My name is Bai Bi, I'm not the housekeeper, I'm the young man next to Lord Hou." It's just that there is no housekeeper in the Hou's mansion at present, and those looking for it outside are worried about handing over the rights to manage the entire Hou's mansion. What a precious treasure, and many imperial gifts, if there is a mistake, it is no joke.

At present, the Hou Mansion will let him and Wuxia take turns to discuss the housekeeper's affairs for the time being, and it happens to be his turn today.

When Zheng Jing heard that he was not even a housekeeper, a bit of contempt was revealed unconsciously on his originally polite face, but he quickly restrained himself, "I do have some things in recent days, so I'm going back like this, I'm afraid it won't work." Great, I don't know when Lord Hou will come back? Or, where did Master Hou go, can I find it by myself?"

Bai Bi said expressionlessly: "The whereabouts of Master Hou is something that I and others can inquire about at will. Even if I know, I can't tell others casually. If someone plots something wrong, wouldn't I be a sinner?"

Zheng Ji's face pulled, what's this called?Could he still be unfavorable to Lord Hou?He wouldn't even dare to borrow his guts!
Seeing that Zheng Jing still didn't intend to leave, and looked back at the other young girl who came with him from time to time, Bai Bi's heart moved, and he said: "If Mr. Zheng has something to do, you can tell me, and I will take care of it when Lord Hou returns. Convey."

Zheng Jing frowned, obviously not satisfied with his proposal.

Bai Bi took advantage of the situation and said: "Or, although Master Hou is not here, but Madam is in the mansion, I can pass it on for Your Excellency, so that Your Excellency can directly tell Madam if you have something to say?"

Zheng Jing's slender eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to agree, but when he spoke, he seemed to be a little worried, "I heard that Mrs. Hou is pregnant, but the purpose of my visit here today is not a big deal. I feel very sorry for disturbing Mrs. Hou's rest on purpose, so don't bother me, I wonder if I can stay in the mansion and wait for Lord Hou to return?"

Baibi looked at Zheng Jian with more meaningful eyes.

Couldn't this man hear the contradictions in his own words?Since it's not a big deal, why wait for Lord Hou to come back at the mansion?When a guest comes, one of the hosts is clearly at home, but the guest volunteers that he does not need the host to receive him?Could it be that for some reason, he felt guilty and dared not see his wife?
Bai Bi thought for a while, and said: "If Mr. Zheng is not afraid of wasting time, you can just wait here. I will have someone bring you tea and snacks. However, there are many things in the mansion, so I am afraid that I cannot accompany you here."

Zheng Chin showed a smirk, "I don't need anyone to accompany me. I just wait here with my stomach. I just hope that Lord Hou can find someone to inform me in time after he returns to the mansion."

"It's natural." Baibi called a maid to pour tea, and was about to leave. As soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly turned his head as if remembering something, and looked at the pretty girl sitting next to Zheng Li, "I forgot just now." Ask, what is the identity of this person next to Mr. Zheng? I am currently acting as the butler of the Marquis Mansion, and when guests come to the mansion, we must first find out the identity of each person, so as not to make mistakes."

Zheng Jiji smiled and said: "It should be, it should be. This is the niece of my wife's natal family. She has always admired the prestige of Lord Hou. When I learned that I am coming today, I brought them here to meet Lord Hou."

The niece of the Zheng family was very cooperative and blushed when Zheng Jingwen mentioned Master Hou, looking very shy and pleasant.

"So that's how it is." Bai Bi smiled intriguingly, and left without saying anything more. However, instead of going to busy with the chores of the Marquis's Mansion, he went straight to the courtyard where Mrs. Xu lived, and waited until he saw someone. Afterwards, I first talked about the guests, and then I spoke out my speculation.

When Xu Shi and Yu Nanny heard this, their faces immediately turned dark.

"Master won't be back for a while, so it doesn't seem appropriate for Zheng Jing to wait at the mansion all the time. Look, do you want to talk to Madam?" Bai Bi asked.

"Of course not!" Xu's face showed concern, "That person brought some niece here on purpose, he must have no good intentions, hmph, Jinxiu dared to do such a pickled thing while she was pregnant, if Jinxiu knew about it, it would affect her mood What should I do if the tire gas is moved?"

In fact, Baibi’s thoughts are similar, and he even said that this kind of person should be thrown out directly, so as not to dirty Madam’s eyes, he knows very well that even if the person surnamed Zheng really has that kind of thought, he can’t succeed, but he can do nothing It is not good for him to go beyond his master and decide on his own.

Whether he will blame him afterwards is one thing, but it is tantamount to an act of transgression if he oversteps the mark and cannot do so.

Mrs. Xu stared in the direction of the front yard, tapped her fingers on the table twice, and said: "Since there are guests coming to the house, how can we let the guests wait alone? Jinxiu is inconvenient, so let me alone Grandmother will receive it on your behalf."

Baibi's heart skipped a beat, and he silently lit a candle for Zheng Jen, and asked the dignified Mrs. Guogong to personally receive him a little Jen. This is smoke from the ancestral grave. Although, this may not be a good thing for Zheng Jen ,hehe.

After tidying up her clothes, Mrs. Xu took Nanny Yu to the front yard, reminding Baibi and the servants of the mansion to also say, don't tell granddaughter-in-law.

"Uncle, do you think Lord Hou will agree?" Feng Qiaoqiao asked nervously.

Zheng Jing comforted: "Don't worry, there is a beautiful woman who is willing to serve, and she doesn't want any status. Which man would refuse? This Marquis just got the title not long ago, and it is the time of the spring breeze. I heard that the Marquis was just a commoner , One trick is developed, and you don’t have three wives and four concubines to enjoy a good life? I haven’t heard any rumors about this, but other people haven’t reacted. We just want to seize the opportunity, otherwise we will wait for Lord Hou in a few days. If you get a few beautiful concubines, you may not be able to succeed."

Feng Qiaoqiao also agreed with this statement, and then thought of hearing others mention that this Hou Ye is handsome and not very old. High enough, if I can climb up to Master Hou... I can live a life of a real upper class in the future, maybe even my aunt will try to please her in turn!

Feng Qiaoqiao fell into self-fantasy for a while before recovering. At the same time, she remembered the rumors about Mrs. Hou. She frowned, "Uncle, I heard that Mrs. Hou's appearance is also very beautiful..." She wanted to please Mrs. Hou First of all, it must be comparable to Mrs. Hou in appearance, right?Otherwise, how can we compete for favor?

Zheng experienced a look of disapproval, "That's just flattery from other people, so you can't believe it. Master Hou and Mrs. Hou got married before they got rich. To put it bluntly, they were both born in the countryside. Do you think that they are from the countryside? How good is a girl? What's more, Madam Hou is still pregnant, and she looks even more..." It's unsightly.

At any rate, Zheng Jing still remembered where this place was. Although the other words were not very nice, and he didn't say such ugly words directly, Feng Qiaoqiao understood.

What's more, Feng Qiaoqiao once saw the poverty-stricken appearance of the people from the countryside after entering the city on the street, and her pretty face was filled with the same contempt and dislike when she learned of Baibi's identity before the experience, and the uneasiness in her heart also subsided. After coming down, he patted his chest with his slender hands, and smiled confidently, "Then I'm relieved."

She didn't dare to say that her appearance was so beautiful, but she was several times stronger than the bumpkins from the countryside, right?Appearance, temperament, everything is better than Mrs. Hou, no worries about not being able to seduce Lord Hou's heart, and when he is favored by Lord Hou, he will have a son and a half daughter... Even if you don't dare to think about Mrs. Hou's position, in the future Her children can also get a lot of property from the Hou Mansion, right?

She heard that the emperor gave Marquis Ding'an a lot of rewards, and any one of them would be worth a fortune!
Seeing Feng Qiaoqiao's fluttering appearance, Zheng Jing specially reminded: "You must remember, after staying smoothly, don't be in a hurry to stand out, and you should lie low in front of Mrs. Hou for a while until you win the heart of Lord Hou. Seek benefits for yourself a little bit, don't make it too obvious, put yourself in without getting anything, and even implicate me."

Feng Qiaoqiao nodded obediently, "Uncle, don't worry, I know how to do it. Before I came here, my mother and aunt taught me." Isn't it just to seduce men? It was Hou Ye, who had never seen anything in the world, who was fascinated by her.

As for Madam Hou?Apart from the other party's rumored to be very beautiful, she really didn't think the other party would pose much threat to her.

It's just a village woman, I'm afraid she doesn't have much skill in doing that kind of thing, how can she compare with her?

"When you win Lord Hou's heart, don't forget who helped you get to this point. Remember to find a way to repay me, especially your brother, and find a way to let Lord Hou find him a good official position. You You can also have a strong natal family to rely on."

"Uncle, I understand."

Afterwards, Zheng experienced a lot of instructions, not emphasizing that he should repay him in the future, but also how to please the Lord Hou, and how to make false claims with Mrs. Hou. The two talked about it in full swing, but they didn't know the face of Xu who had been listening outside for a long time. It was frighteningly cold.
