The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 240

Xiaomi was very excited, she didn't look as sick as before, but Mrs. Iron closed the window and pressed her back on the soft cushion.

"No, you will follow me to the Hou's Mansion for a period of time. Your health will be completely healed, and it will not be too late to go out. If you miss your third brother, ask someone to invite him to live with you in the Hou's Mansion."

"How can it be done, godmother, my third brother must be studying with Brother Cheng and the others, let him know that I have a fever, I'm afraid I will be distracted..."

"Now that you know, you can go back to the house with me honestly. When you recover from your illness, when will you go out?"

If Xiaomi was a bird out of the cage, then Mrs. Tie was a ruthless net bag, who caught her directly and stuffed her back into the cage, without any room for negotiation.

Xiaomi was extremely depressed. Although she knew that Mrs. Tie had good intentions, she was still drooping and lost her interest...

Mrs. Tie endured her distress, and insisted on not changing her words.

After all, Xiaomi fell ill too suddenly before, and before he left, Father Lu repeatedly told him not to let Xiaomi have a fever, otherwise his life would be in danger.She didn't know the inside story, but she always felt that it couldn't be ignored.

Although their mother and son are not in the Hou's Mansion all the year round, there is an old doctor enshrined in the Hou's Mansion, and his medical skills are considered superb. She is not at ease if she does not give Xiaomi a period of recuperation.

The brigade of iron cavalry walked all the way on the main road of the capital. Although they slowed down, they still attracted everyone's attention.Passers-by gave way, and looked around from time to time in the teahouses and restaurants beside the road.

In no time, news of Zhennan Hou's return spread throughout the streets and alleys.

The sound of horseshoes is very heart-shattering.Sitting in the car, Xiaomi couldn't help giving the royal family a thumbs up.

There is a saying that no one is allowed to sleep peacefully next to the couch.

In the capital, the royal family actually allowed the general who was guarding the border outside to bring nearly a thousand guards into the city, as if they were not afraid of the general's rebellion at all.

Such a magnanimity and a heart are really unique.Of course, thinking of the royal family including the person she was thinking about, she couldn't help but curl her lips again.This made Mrs. Tie, who was worried about her daughter's anger, very puzzled, and finally laughed too.

On June Day, my daughter's face can change as soon as it is said.No matter what made her happy, it was better than sulk.

The horse team soon arrived in front of the Hou Mansion on Qinglong Street, and someone had already reported back.

The old housekeeper Tie Ping and his old wife Dao Momo opened the middle door with all the servants in the house, and knelt down to welcome the return of the master.

The rule of the gate is that when the master returns, he dismounts in front of the gate, and usually requires willow trees to spread around his body to get rid of the hostility before entering the gate.

But this time Tieping just came up with willow branches when he heard the old lady in the car say, "Wu Shuang, ask someone to remove the threshold and enter the door directly, your sister can't blow the wind."

"Yes, mother."

Tie Wushuang lifted the hood, his beautiful face caused all the servants who were peeking at him to take a breath of air, and pressed their foreheads closer to the ground.

Satisfaction flashed in Tie Wushuang's eyes, and he jumped off the horse, first nodded with Butler Tie, and finally ordered, "Uncle Ping, listen to the old lady's order, and remove the threshold!"

"Ah... yes, yes, my lord!"

Tieping hurriedly threw the willow branches in his hand into the water basin carried by the little maid, and then called several servants to work quickly.

In the distance, there were passers-by and the concierges of several neighbors watching the excitement, but they became more and more curious when they saw Zhennanhou's mansion like this.In the end, after waiting for the carriage to drive through the door, he turned around and ran back to report the news.

Naturally, they couldn't hear Mrs. Tie's words, and even if they heard them, they wouldn't believe them. Qiqi guessed that Mrs. Tie was seriously ill and couldn't even walk into the house.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion guessed the same way, but they saw the carriage door opened and Madam Tie was helped down.Although I haven't seen her in four or five years, her temples are already gray, but her complexion is very good, and the sharpness and toughness at the corners of her eyes and brows have not weakened at all.

Nanny Dao, who was dressed in a blue dress, was so excited that she stepped forward and knelt down, "Old lady, you are back. If you go out again, you must take this old slave with you. You are not in the house, and this old slave misses you!"

Nanny Dao was married to the Hou's Mansion with Mrs. Tie, and she had her trust and reliance the most, otherwise she would not have entrusted the entire mansion for several years.

Mrs. Tie stretched out her hand to help her up. Seeing that her hair was mostly gray, she sighed in her heart, but said, "I'll talk about it later, let's go back to the backyard first."

"Yes, yes, ma'am."

Nanny Dao beckoned the two women to bring in the soft sedan chair. Just as she was about to help Mrs. Tie into the sedan chair, she turned around and called into the carriage, "Xiaomi, get out of the car, you're home."

"Mom, is it really here? I'm so aggrieved!"

Before the crisp woman's voice fell to the ground, a girl in a green dress and a white dress jumped out of the carriage. She was not tall, but her figure was very supple, her skin was fair, and her facial features were correct. The most rare thing was a pair of big eyes, slightly curved. Her eyes are clear and extremely agile...

Whose girl is this? Why do you call the old woman "mother"?
"You're home now, don't talk about life and death. Go back to the backyard with your mother to rest, and when you recover, mother will show you around."

Mrs. Tie led Xiaomi into the soft sedan chair, Xiaomi twisted her body uncomfortably, and complained, "Mother, just walk in, I'm dizzy in the sedan chair."

"Don't be naughty, it will be there in a while."

Mrs. Tie scolded with a smile, "When you enter the gate of the Hou's Mansion, you will obey me. If you don't obey, I will send you back."

"Oh, mother, don't do it! Am I not obedient?"

The two women were talking and joking, but the two women who were carrying the sedan chair and Nanny Dao were very curious.But they still haven't forgotten the rules, and they ran straight to the backyard quickly and steadily with their feet firmly on the ground.

The Zhennan Hou Mansion was bestowed by the first emperor, and it is considered to be a first-class courtyard in the entire capital.Although it is not as elegant as the small bridge and flowing water, it reveals the grandeur and toughness of the general.

Entered the second gate, walked all the way through the long corridor and stone bridge, walked for a quarter of an hour, and finally entered a courtyard.The sedan chair also landed lightly on the ground, "Madam, we're here."

Xiaomi got out first, then turned around to help Mrs. Tie.This made Nanny Dao who stretched out her hand stunned, and Xiaomi also noticed that she seemed to have robbed someone else's job, so she stuck out her tongue embarrassingly.

Nanny Dao withdrew her hand, but she didn't feel any annoyance in her heart.She is resident in the capital, and she usually sees her master walking around the various mansions. She has also met many ladies in the past, most of them are arrogant, and she can't wait to show others with her nostrils. alienated.

On the contrary, this girl who calls her wife her mother is quite a bit mischievous and naughty like a little granddaughter at home. It makes people feel distressed when she looks at it, and she doesn't feel unfamiliar and awkward at all.

"Grandma Dao, let someone tidy up the East Nuan Pavilion, and Xiaomi will live at home forever. Pick up the best things for everything, and buy them if there is something missing at home, don't be frugal."

Seeing Xiaomi looking around curiously, Mrs. Tie didn't stop her, and called Madam Dao to give instructions.

Her voice was not low, so naturally the women and maids beside her heard it too, so the few who were staring at Xiaomi earlier lowered their heads quickly.

At this moment, Fengniang brought Hongmei and Aunt Han finally caught up.

Mrs. Tie pulled Xiaomi into the hall of the main house. The Hou Mansion has been rich and powerful for generations, the meritorious family, and the place where the old lady is in charge of the house is not comparable to the small main room of the Lu family, which also serves as a dining room for guests.

Entering the door, there is a red sandalwood square table facing you, and on both sides are grand master chairs inlaid with marble backrests.Behind the table stands a tall table with an incense burner on it.Behind the censer is a central hall. It may be some years old, and the paper is slightly yellowed. There are four large characters written on it, "loyal to the emperor and defend the country"!
The person who wrote it was probably an ancestor of the Tie family, and the sharpness of killing and iron blood in the pen made Xiaomi's hairs stand on end.

Nanny Dao quickly lit three sticks of incense and handed them to Mrs. Tie, but Mrs. Tie handed them over to Xiaomi, "Xiaomi, this is written by the old Hou Ye who founded our Tie family. You salute and put it on the pillar." Let it be fragrant. When the ancestral hall opens at the end of the year, I will take you to kowtow to the ancestors of the past generations."

"Yes, mother."

Xiaomi hurriedly took it respectfully, Mother Dao was a little dazed, and didn't prepare any futon mats.Xiaomi didn't care, just knelt down on the ground, and said in a loud voice, "The ancestors of the Tie family, the youngest daughter, Lu's daughter, was unexpectedly favored by the old lady and adopted as a righteous daughter. As half of the Tie family, I will definitely be filial to the old lady in the future." , to help the brother-in-law protect the family and the country. I also ask the ancestors to bless the old lady in good health, and the brother-in-law is safe and victorious!"

After all, she kowtowed three times, and when she wanted to go around the table to insert the incense candle into the incense burner, Mrs. Tie did it for her.

She didn't know what she thought of, she whispered a few words in front of the incense burner, her expression was sad, but she gradually let go and became peaceful.

Nanny Dao stepped forward to make amends to Xiaomi in a low voice, "Miss, they are all old servants who are not well-served, and there is no arrangement for kneeling mats."

"It's okay, nanny, it's already spring, and the ground is not cold."

How could Xiaomi see such an old person apologizing to himself, and quickly smiled and waved his hands. Madam Tie also turned around at this moment, and said, "Just kneel down, you still can't catch a cold. Stay in Dongnuange to clean up. You just live in, and I will watch over you as an ordinary person, and you must not go out until half a month later."

After all, she ignored Xiaomi's bitter face, and ordered Nanny Dao, "Remember to ask Dr. Han to come to see Xiaomi's pulse at night."

Nanny Dao is no longer surprised at all. Ever since the old lady, all her orders were for this young lady who fell from the sky. Master for so many years.

"Yes, ma'am, don't worry, this old slave will go and take someone to clean it up. On weekdays, the East Nuan Pavilion will also be cleaned, and the earth dragon will be burned every other day. They will be able to move in soon."

"Go."

Just in time, Tie Wushuang arranged eight hundred cavalry and came in from the outside. Hearing this, he said, "Mom, it will be spring soon, and the Taohua Pavilion has the best view. Why don't we settle Xiaomi to live here?"

Mother Dao didn't even have the thought of being surprised this time, so she quickly turned around and went out to get busy.

The Peach Blossom Pavilion is the best small courtyard in the entire Hou Mansion, and it is adjacent to the Changfeng Courtyard of the Hou Ye. When the niece of the old lady’s family came to pay her birthday wishes, she took a fancy to that courtyard and wanted to stay for a few days, but the Hou Ye insisted. He refused, because he disliked that there were women making noise, disturbing his study and martial arts.Now, before the old lady could speak, he let it out on his own initiative.

Needless to say, this girl surnamed Lu will not be negligent in the Hou's house in the future, otherwise she will not take the two genuine masters seriously.
