The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 242

Aunt Han and Hongmei, one was making medicine in the kitchen, the other was washing clothes, and Xiaomi finally found peace, so he picked up an apple and went to the window to look at the scenery.

Coincidentally, two little maids were wiping the flower windows of the veranda with rags, perhaps because the master was asleep, so they whispered gossip.

"Lianhua, tell me, is Miss Lu the real wife that the old lady is looking for for Lord Hou?"

"How is it possible?" The little maid named Lianhua, who didn't know if she was in love with the male master, had a bad expression on hearing this, and immediately retorted, "I heard Nanny Dao talk to the housekeeper yesterday, and this master is a farmer. Miss, her status is too low, not to mention being Mrs. Hou Ye, even being a concubine would flatter her."

The servant girl who started talking earlier didn't like her words, so she quickly stopped her, "Keep your voice down, we're just talking in private, why are you in a hurry? Besides, Miss Lu treated us well, she never scolded us, and rewarded us with money. There are too many. The old lady and Lord Hou treated her so well, if you find out that you are negligent, you will have to eat a military stick!"

The Marquis Mansion established itself with military exploits, and the rules in the mansion were also strict. Anyone who made a mistake, no matter who they were, would be punished with military sticks like soldiers.

The little maid named Lianhua also regretted what she said just now, but it was impossible to take it back, so she pricked her neck and argued, "I'm not wrong, there were many young ladies who admired our Lord Marquis before, old madam They are not allowed to enter the door, let alone laughing and eating with Lord Hou. Maybe the old lady likes Miss Lu and wants to stay at home as a daughter-in-law."

"Okay, okay, you're right, let's work quickly."

The other servant girl was afraid that she would say something more, so she echoed a few words and dragged her to the next flower window.Naturally, they don't know the protagonist in their mouths, they can hear clearly from the beginning to the end, but even if they take a bite of an apple in their mouths, they can't spit it out...

Aunt Han took the medicine bowl and came out of the stove. Before she could go up the steps, she saw the master standing at the window blowing the wind, so she shouted in shock, "Girl, why are you blowing the wind again? Close the window quickly. I don't want to catch the cold again. What if you get hot again?"

"Oh," Xiaomi responded lightly, raised his hand and closed the window, waiting until Aunt Han entered the room and put down the medicine bowl.For the first time, she didn't hesitate to dislike it, and took it up and drank it in a big gulp.

Aunt Han saw that something was wrong, and asked cautiously while handing over the candied fruit, "Girl, what's wrong with you? Who told you to wink? I'll report to Mrs. Tie!"

"Auntie, come back." Xiaomi pulled off the veil to wipe off the medicine stains from the corner of her mouth, shook her head and said, "My godmother and brother Yi are so kind to me, how could anyone dare to neglect me?"

"Then what happened?"

Aunt Han was a little anxious. After all, her daughter was always in high spirits and in high spirits. She rarely felt so depressed.

"It's because you are too kind to me... Forget it, auntie, let's not talk about this, you can go to the front yard and call Gao Ren over for me later. If Gao Ren is not here, you can just call Xuan Wu. I have something to ask!"

Xiaomi regained her energy, raised her hand to pick up the candied fruit, stuffed several of them into her mouth one after another, the sweetness diluted the bitterness of the medicinal soup, she stuck out her tongue mischievously, and said with a smile, "Oh, I'm so bitter."

Aunt Han smiled and poured her another glass of jujube water, and then said, "Don't worry, girl, I'll go ahead and look for someone."

It happened that Hongmei came in from the outside, so she gave some instructions and went directly to the front yard.

Mrs. Tie really had nothing to say about Xiaomi's well-being, not to mention the meticulous care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, even Xuan Wu and Gao Ren had separate rooms in the front yard.

Xuan Liu was idle and bored, holding a knife he found somewhere, and was carving a small piece of wood, seeing Aunt Han looking for it, he asked, "Auntie, why are you here, but the girl has orders? "

"Yes, Xiao Liu, where is Gao Ren? The girl has something to arrange."

"Gao Ren, you ran out in the morning..."

Xuan Liu scratched his head, and when he wanted to say more, he was hit on the back of his hand by a peanut that flew from nowhere.

"Ouch!"

He shuddered in pain, and immediately yelled, "Master Gao, but you're back?"

Gao Ren rushed in from the outside in response, and said, "I'm back!"

Aunt Han was afraid that the two treasures would start a fight again, so she said, "I see that the girl is not happy, I don't know what's going on? Gao Ren, the girl has always been close to you, so you can ask a few questions later. If there is something wrong , let's also share the girl's worries."

"Okay, let's go."

Gao Ren's feet were also fast, and he rushed into the second gate in the blink of an eye. The woman who guarded the gate was still yelling at him, but suddenly recognized Gao Ren as Xiaomi's servant, so she stopped talking, but her face was obviously a little unhappy.Just when she was about to curse secretly, Aunt Han arrived, and she quickly put on a smile, "Sister of the Han family, but Miss ordered again?"

"Yeah, it's not a big deal. Our family also has some property in the capital. The young lady may be thinking about it, but the old lady is afraid that our young lady will not be allowed to go out because of the cold wind. No, she called Gao Ren to order and go out on her behalf. turn around."

Aunt Han said a few words, but at the end she seemed a little regretful, she pulled the old woman and said, "Old sister, I am rushing to serve the master, so don't blame me for talking too much."

"No, no, it's all a family. Our wife doesn't know how much I love Miss."

The two laughed and chatted for a few words before parting, but the woman almost immediately went to the side room with oil on the soles of her feet, and talked with a few maids on duty.

"You don't know, the lady brought back by our wife seems to be from a wealthy family. I heard that there is still business in the capital."

"is it?"

"It's nothing. If her family is poor, she can't be so generous every time..."

At the corner, Aunt Han frowned, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.The Hou Mansion is grand and has many servants, but she doesn't think it is better than Old Xiongling at all.If she had a choice, she would rather do some cooking and teach Qinghua Qingyu in the courtyard of the Lu family.Life is comfortable and peaceful, the most important thing is that there is no intrigue, no need to be on guard all the time...

Not to mention how Aunt Han sighed, but Xiaomi saw that there was no one in the room, so she dragged Gao Ren to her and complained in a low voice, "Gao Ren, where have you been these few days, and you can't be found?"

Gao Ren snorted, but refused to answer. Xiaomi thought he was losing his temper because he didn't have any delicious food for the past few days, so he said, "Persist for a few more days, I'll finish drinking the tonic, and tell my godmother to leave the house. Let's Go to Xiaozhuang outside the city to live, there is no difference from Laoxiongling, it must be more convenient than now."

"Understood," Gao Ren still refused to say more, and Xiaomi didn't have the mood to coax him patiently any longer, so he tore up the letter he had just written and stuffed it into Gao Ren's arms, telling him, "you can find a chance tonight to write this letter." Give it to Brother Feng, he probably doesn't know that I'm coming to the capital. I... have something to do, I want to see him and ask."

"Why are you looking for him?" Gao Ren suddenly lost his temper and said angrily, "He eats and drinks all day long, and he is served and obedient. What do you miss about him? Just take care of your health as soon as possible. Look at you. Only a few days after going out, I lost half of my weight!"

Xiaomi stretched out her hand to touch her face, but she lost a lot of weight, but she couldn't admit it, so she responded with a smile, "I'm on the road, I can't eat and sleep well, and I'm taking tonic these days, and I don't even have the appetite to eat. You Help me deliver the letter, I will cook braised pork for you tomorrow, okay?"

"not good!"

Gao Ren has wandered around the streets and alleys of Kyoto a lot in the past few days, even the palace twice.Although he didn't go to Xuanming to inquire, nor did he meet his master, but he filled his ears with right and wrong.

What kind of envoy enjoyed the snow with the prince, the prince was praised by several elders, and the prince took the princess to play in micro clothes...

Everything shows that his master's life is extremely nourishing, except that he forgot that there is a good girl waiting for him to go back in a remote mountain village.

Gao Ren was so angry that his lungs exploded, but when he turned his head and saw that Xiaomi's face was so pale that it was a little transparent, he swallowed back the words he was about to rush out.

"Forget it, I'll give it to you."

"Hey, that's right. I'll add another pot of meat tomorrow. Brother Tie also likes to eat this dish. When I thank him for the candied fruit these days, the medicine prescribed by Dr. Han is too bitter. But it saved my life!"

Xiaomi knows Gao Ren's temper best. Although he has a bad temper, he will do as long as he promises.Her letter will definitely be delivered to Feng Jian tonight, maybe they can meet without it.

It's a pity that there are no absolutes in the world, not to mention that she entrusted her to a lawless guy...

Xuan Liu had just finished carving the pony in his hand and was about to install the small wheels when he saw Gao Ren coming back with a dark face, so he got up and asked, "Is the girl much better? But what are your orders?"

Gao Ren nodded irritably, raised his hand to pinch the little wooden horse to look at it, and Xuan Liu hurriedly snatched it back, "Oh, I can't pinch it, I made it for Miss Lu to relieve her boredom. This Hou's mansion is no better than home, she I can’t go out and walk around, I’m afraid the door is broken.”

Gao Ren raised his hand and ruthlessly stroked the soaring braid on his head, his eyes became even more annoyed, even Xuan Liu was thinking about coaxing Xiaomi to be happy, but the person who should be by Xiaomi's side didn't even show up.

Hmph, it would be too cheap for him not to teach him a lesson.

"Xiao Liu, did Lao Wu send a letter to the capital to say that Xiaomi is here?"

"No, didn't you say that you went to the capital to report to the master yourself?"

Xuan Liu felt a little strange when he heard it, and said again, "Could it be that the master doesn't know that the girl is here at this moment? Oh, that's impossible! If the master misunderstands that Miss Lu is gone, I'm afraid I will be in a hurry!"

These words reminded Gao Ren, he rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, I have already delivered the letter to the master."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Xuan Liu didn't doubt it, and started tossing the little wooden horse again, but Gao Ren said again, "Don't leave the Hou's mansion for half a step these days, even though this Mrs. Tie treats Xiaomi pretty well, but if you don't keep it together, the servants will seek death. Don't care who it is , as long as Xiaomi is wronged, do it."

"Okay, I know, Miss Lu has never been wronged by our master's status, so what else is it?"

The seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate followed their distinguished masters, and even the dark guards who could not see the light were more imposing.Xuan Liu didn't even raise his head, obviously he didn't take people like Hou Fu seriously.

Naturally, he didn't see the strange color on Gao Ren's face either...
