Chapter 207
The inside fell silent, Ruoxi went to the wing room.After a while, the girl came over and asked her to go to the room.She walked in and saw Mrs. Hou resting on the couch with her eyes closed. There were tea stains in the middle of the floor, and Madam Li was rubbing Mrs. Hou's shoulders.

"Come here and rub my temples, it's throbbing and hurting early in the morning!" Madam Hou didn't open her eyes, Ruoxi heard that she hurried over.

Her hand strength was just right, Madam Hou seemed to be relieved a little, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

"Grandma Hu sent a girl to tell you that the old lady was asleep last night after she left. When the old lady wakes up, let's go and say hello. You can wait here." Mrs. Hou said softly. talking.After hearing this, she hurriedly agreed, but she didn't dare to stop.

After a long while, Mrs. Hou asked her to stop, "Sit down and rest for a while, I will wait on you as soon as you come."

"I can't help my wife solve her problems. This little thing can be done." She hurriedly replied with a smile: "Yi Jun and Fei Hong just came to say hello to my wife. I saw that my wife was not free so I ordered someone to take them away." gone."

Madam Hou's face darkened when she heard this, and she picked up the teacup beside her and began to drink tea.Seeing this, Ruoxi didn't dare to speak anymore, and lowered her eyes only to look at the green tea in her hand.

"Oh, I don't worry about any of them! Fortunately, there is also your daughter-in-law, who is dexterous and considerate. She doesn't like to show off but can always come up with a good solution." Madam Hou said happily, " The old matriarch's birthday was organized with both pomp and style, which attracted many people's envy. In the past two days, many ladies have come to inquire, asking where our cook was hired, and who came up with such an idea. I also heard It is said that there are people coming to invite musicians from the imperial teaching workshop every day, and spend a lot of money to listen to the music. It is a pity that Zhenniang does not see customers behind closed doors. The biggest gain is our newly opened shop. The business is very good, otherwise Yixuan is so busy every day? The third child has not come back in the past two nights. I heard that he went to the other courtyard to do something. Since you came in, good things happened one after another. No wonder the fortune teller said Your horoscope Wangfu’s family is really accurate!" Her face brightened when she said this.

Ruoxi hurriedly replied after hearing this: "Second Master came up with most of the solutions, and I don't even understand business matters, so I can't help at all. Second Master's appearance is seven or eight times like Master, but this cleverness , stable temperament but mostly follow his wife, no matter what problem comes into his hands, it becomes easy to solve."

"Oh?" The people of the Hou Mansion raised their eyebrows when they heard this, and there was a smile on their faces, and the unhappiness in the morning dissipated a little bit.Parents like to hear others praise their children, Ruoxi even praised her, this flattery is just right.

At this time Wan Xia came in to say hello, today she was dressed very elegantly, with light makeup on her face, she looked a little more delicate than usual.She was dressed in a light pink, only embroidered hibiscus on the neckline and cuffs, and the piping around the neckline was clean and neat with moon white.

Seeing this, Mrs. Hou's face was full of displeasure, she stared at her a few times and said: "If you are lazy in the morning, don't come here to say hello, as long as you have this filial piety."

"It's not that Wan Xia got up late, it's because my aunt insisted on dressing me up." She hurriedly distinguished, "I've already dressed up and thought it looked good, but my aunt insisted it wasn't elegant enough. I don't see how beautiful it is, the color is too light and plain, and the color of the whole body is monotonous enough."

This Aunt Zhao can dress up, and Ruoxi's charming face appeared in front of her eyes, no wonder Hou Ye favored a beautiful and attractive woman.

"You have to make up your own mind about how to dress, you have to be tasteful." Mrs. Hou frowned after hearing this, "Can Aunt Zhao stay with you for a lifetime? Besides, things like style can't be acquired in a day, and it takes a lot of hard work on weekdays." Yes. It's useless to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, because her eye sockets are too high and she doesn't look at her own foundation, so she has to fall before giving up!"

Hearing that there was something in these words, Ruoxi glanced at Wan Xia, seeing her dumbfounded look on her face, she couldn't help but secretly laughed in her heart that she knew how to act.She clearly knew that Aunt Zhao came to beg his wife in the morning, and asked her to find a way to pave the way for her to approach the emperor, but she was rejected by his wife's precepts, and deliberately dressed up and swayed in front of his wife.

This is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and it will only make Mrs. Hou stop her from being selected even more.Bringing something like her into the palace, isn't this causing trouble for the concubine De and embarrassing the Hou Mansion?One prospers, one prospers, one loses all. Every concubine in the harem, they represent not only themselves, but all of them are involved in the fate of one or several families.

Besides, Mrs. Hou had already read what Lord Hou said last night, so the clan had no intention of counting on Wan Xia to make things happen.Sending her to the selection this time is just a formality. If she loses the selection, she will find a husband's family for her. After two years, she will marry her.That's why Mrs. Hou reprimanded Aunt Zhao so confidently, and took the opportunity to give her some color.

Over the past few years, Aunt Zhao has been blowing pillow talk a lot thanks to Master Hou's love, but it's just that Mrs. Hou is too lazy to talk to her.Without Aunt Zhao, there would be other people, so it's better to let this idiot with no brains and beauty jump around.There is an old matriarch in the mansion, and the imperial concubine is backing the palace, no one dares to do anything to Mrs. Hou!Aunt Zhao is just Wukong held in her palm, even if there are 72 changes, she can't escape Wuzhishan.

Relax with her, give Hou Ye a good look, and get a good reputation as a virtuous person.Mrs. Hou has rolled around in front of the old matriarch all these years, her patience and scheming are extraordinary!
Ruoxi, who was watching all this with a cold eye, couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the old ones are scheming, the young ones are deep-seated, this family is all good people!All of them are people she can't afford to mess with, it's safer to be honest, as the saying goes, bullying an honest person is justified!

"In a few days, you will be screened in the palace. Go back to your room and practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Don't discredit our house. I will go to the old matriarch and say goodbye to this part." Mrs. Hou said to This cheap daughter who doesn't quite understand, has weird tastes and acts rigidly can't like it.He simply told her not to come out and hang around, so as not to make trouble when he saw her.

After hearing this, Wan Xia agreed to resign, Madam Hou said to Ruoxi: "I want to love her with all my heart, but Aunt Zhao is out of her mind, and she doesn't get close to me when she sees her. I know she often learns to knit sweaters from you, you Just take care of me."

"The Fourth Younger Sister has a weird temper, and she doesn't talk much when I go there. Sometimes I forget she's there, and when I turn around, I'm shocked when I see her." Ruoxi hurriedly returned, revealing in her words some subtle meanings.

Mrs. Hou laughed when she heard this, and Shanxi came in and reported that the old lady had finished her meal.After hearing this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law set off for Anfuju. Just after turning the corner, they saw a woman rushing to the second gate.Looking at the back, it seems to be Fang Rong's mother who is accompanying the concubine Fang Gui, is there something wrong with walking in such a hurry?
