Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 1
Late autumn has brought a bit of chill, with several continuous autumn rains, no one can be seen on the street, and the gray sky is lifeless.

The closer the dusk was, the darker the sky became. The imperially built Changxing Marquis Mansion had already lit up white lanterns one after another, one by one swaying in the wind, and accompanied by the bewildering night rain, it seemed like another world.

The white sails in the mansion were fluttering, and everything in sight was a piece of plain onyx. The two maids guarded the mourning hall, occasionally glanced at the red lacquered coffin in the middle, and shook their heads involuntarily.

"The third wife is such a good person, I didn't expect to go so early!"

The two women were both wearing gray linen clothes, with a blue tunic underneath, and the sleeves were rolled with an inch-long coarse cloth edge, which was thick and wear-resistant. The woman who spoke was a woman with a round face. The face is kind.

Another woman with a pointed chin had a pair of slanted triangular eyes, her face was a bit harsh, and her words were not polite at all, "The third wife is not clear about herself, she led wolves into the house, how long has she been away, that... But I have already crawled over the third master's bed."

"Keep your voice down, don't you want to kill yourself?!"

The round-faced woman tugged at the corner of her clothes, looked around for a while, her face full of tension.

"Where is anyone?" The triangular-eyed woman snorted, "Those people don't know where to hide for a long time. It's a cloudy day, who wants to stay here and endure the cold wind and rain without anything to bully the two of us." honest!"

"Ah Gui, just don't say a few words. You don't know what will happen in the future. Your mouth is bad, and you will suffer sooner or later!"

The round-faced woman persuaded her earnestly. The two of them entered the mansion at about the same age. They had worked in the mansion for more than ten years and were still rough servants. They can't speak, and the two of them can only do some rough work after all these years.

The maid who guarded the mourning hall during the day was delicate and fleshy, and when it was dark, she retreated early to rest, and then sent the two of them to guard here, I am afraid that it will be until dawn again.

"A Fang, you are the one with the most sincere heart in the entire mansion!"

Ah Gui turned her head, looked at the white sails hanging high in the mourning hall, her eyes dimmed, "I heard that the Lord Gaoyi County is very powerful, if it wasn't so, how could her previous one be killed by her like this? If the third house is really managed by her in the future, our life will be even more difficult in the future!"

Ah Fang stomped his feet anxiously, and stretched out his hand to cover Ah Gui's mouth, how can these words be said casually?

The mother of Gaoyi County Lord is Princess Daming, the younger sister of the current Holy Majesty, although she is a half-brother and sister, she is also a big figure to servants like them who have been trampled under their feet, and they talk about things about the Tian family behind their backs , I'm afraid they don't even know how they died!

Ah Fang and Ah Gui stopped talking, but they didn't know that the few people who were walking at the corner of the corridor of the mourning hall listened to the conversation between the two of them very closely.

At first, the woman's face was calm, her eyes were full of spirit, her willow eyebrows were drawn into her temples, she looked at her with a calm and majestic aura, a white velvet flower was pinned to her head, she was dressed in plain onyx, and the corners of her lips were tightly drawn. As he spoke, there was already a glimmer of anger on his face.

The two maids behind looked at each other, and Chunliu hurried forward to persuade: "Madam, don't get angry, this is in front of my aunt's spirit, if she knows you like this, I'm afraid she will be sad too."

Xia He also nodded at the side, "Ma'am, I have to think more about Miss Biao. Now that my aunt is gone, Miss Biao still has to live in Xiao's house by herself. If things really froze, what will happen to Miss Biao's life in the future?" Pass?"

Mrs. Du clenched her fists tightly, and then slowly released them after a long while, her expression frightened, "Our Du family is not easy to bully, uncle is such a good person, it's a pity..." As he spoke, His speech was choked up, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Think back when she married into the Du family, the two sister-in-laws were still in the boudoir, Du Boxian was older, calm and shrewd, only Du Boshu made people feel at ease.

Because she is the youngest daughter of the Du family, Du Boshu has been doted on since she was a child, and this has also cultivated her innocent temperament. She is unguarded against others, but she doesn't know that her best best friend is going to take her husband away when her bones are still cold. .

The Lord of Gaoyi County...

Wang meditated these words silently in her heart, wondering how Du Boshu became a bosom friend with her?
The husband-in-law of Gaoyi County Lord was originally Dong Ran, the second son of Hui Enbo's Dong family. The two married for several years and had a daughter Dong Yan. Now that Dong Ran is dead, the county owner can remarry, but this marriage If it was her brother-in-law Xiao Yihai, it would indeed not be so pleasant.

Wang's eyes darkened, she turned her head and whispered a few words in Chunliu's ear, Chunliu nodded repeatedly, turned around and left quietly.

Xia He stepped forward to help Mrs. Wang's hand and continued to the mourning hall, and asked in a low voice: "Madam, is this to inquire about the Xiao family?"

Mrs. Wang paused and took a deep breath, "What the Xiao family showed us is just the surface, I'm afraid it's really dirty and buried, if we don't dig out these things and be careful, we will put Huai Su alone in the future." How can I rest assured in this tiger and wolf den?"

After Wang's words, she deliberately increased the footsteps, A Fang and A Gui hurriedly stood up when they heard the movement, and when they saw the person coming, they squatted down respectfully and saluted, "I have seen my wife!"

Mrs. Wang nodded lightly, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, Xia He handed over the lit long incense. She bowed to Du Boshu's spirit card, inserted the long incense into the purple gold furnace, and then turned her head and glanced. A little more coldness, "Why are you two the only ones keeping watch for my aunt? What about those maids and aunts? The master hasn't rested yet, and they are hiding their laziness. This is the rule of the Xiao family. Really good!"

"This……"

A Fang's face was flushed with anxiety, but he didn't know how to face Wang's anger, so he could only kneel down with a "plop", and praised repeatedly: "My wife, please calm down!"

Ah Gui also knelt down, but she was a little dissatisfied and said: "The slaves are also sent by others, how dare you intervene in the affairs of the masters? Even the house maids are a few heads above the slaves, not to mention that the aunt is still half-hearted." Master..."

Mrs. Wang narrowed her eyes slightly, and sneered, "So you dare to talk about the master behind his back, and even the Gaoyi county master was included?"

Hearing this, Ah Fang's body softened, and he was immediately frightened out of his wits. He didn't expect that the gossip the two of them were talking about here would actually fall into Mrs. Du's ears. Now, I really don't know how to end it.

Although Agui's face changed, she was much calmer than Afang. She swallowed her saliva and fell on the ground.

I don't know why today I said those words out of nowhere, in the third house, life is always better with a kind mistress, none of them want Gaoyi county master to marry into the Xiao family, and There was some righteous indignation in his heart, so he was speechless for a while.
