Madam Hou

Chapter 127

The snow is covered with ice and snow, the cold wind is blowing, and the coldest is when the snow melts. The breath that people exhale seems to freeze a piece of ice. Quartz rubbed his hands, and then followed behind his master.

A young man was spreading salt and sweeping snow on both sides of the road. When he saw Lin Fengqi coming in, he quickly lowered his head and shouted respectfully, "Hello, Lord Hou!".

Lin Fengqi either didn't answer, or nodded slightly, and then went straight to the direction of the second gate.Passed through the second gate, entered the inner courtyard, and went straight to the direction of Tangrong Courtyard.When walking to the branch road to Tangrongyuan, I suddenly saw a girl in a silver-red flowered jacket coming towards me.The woman looked a bit unfamiliar, but she was fifteen or sixteen years old, she was wearing a jacket that was not old, she had a few silver hairpins on her hair, she was walking with her head down while making fists to exhale warm air for her hands.

Lin Fengqi didn't care, thinking she was a new girl in the mansion, so she didn't stop walking.

Until Lin Fengqi approached, the woman kept walking with her head down, and she didn't stop to salute.Shi Shi behind Lin Fengqi looked at her and thought, this girl is really out of order, and she doesn't know which courtyard is serving her.

Shi Shi had just finished thinking like this, when a servant girl suddenly ran over, walked to the side of the woman, and said anxiously: "Miss Biao, you are really easy for me to find."

It turned out that this woman was Master Lu's daughter, Sister Qian.

When Lin Fengqi heard the word "Miss Cousin" from the servant girl, he stopped quickly, stood and looked at the woman in front of him carefully.Lin Fengqi was tall, almost a head taller than Sister Qian, looking down like this, it seemed a bit condescending.

Seeing Lin Fengqi who stopped to look at Sister Qian, the servant girl hurriedly half-kneeled and said, "Hi, Lord Hou!"

When Sister Qian heard the word "Hou Ye", she was taken aback for a moment, then raised her head to look at the person.In the end, I didn't know if I didn't look at it. When I saw it, I felt that my eyes lit up. I looked up at the person who was motionless, as if I was amazed by her.

The maid was very anxious, and quickly pushed Sister Qian, it was too rude to look up at Lord Hou like this.As a result, Sister Qian was completely indifferent to the maidservant's movements, and continued to watch without moving.Lin Fengqi frowned, but he couldn't remind her by himself.In the end, Shi Shi cleared his throat and "coughed" loudly twice before Sister Qian came to her senses.

Sister Qian came back to her senses, her face turned red, she casually bent her knees and stood up, saying, "Hi cousin, I'm Yinniang's cousin, Sister Qian."

Lin Fengqi nodded to show that she understood, and then she was about to lift her foot to leave when Sister Qian said again: "My cousin's husband is going back to my cousin. I also went to visit my cousin just now, but my cousin said she was unwell and didn't see me. I drink After drinking a cup of tea, I came out. I was very worried about my cousin. I don’t know how she is doing. My cousin’s husband is back, so I need to take care of her. I’m temporarily staying at the house, and I will visit my cousin often in the future. Talk and help her out of boredom, I hope my cousin won't find me annoying when she sees her..."

Lin Fengqi frowned again, thinking, why is this woman talking so much.Lin Fengqi shook his head, walked away.When Sister Qian saw her, she hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted, "Congratulations to my cousin-in-law!"

Until the figure had gone far away, Sister Qian still looked at the direction he left without moving, thinking of the way he stood in front of her just now, his tall and straight figure, handsome face, majestic expression, those slightly raised peach blossoms Eyes, it's almost as if it can seduce people's souls.Sister Qian couldn't help admiring and said, "My cousin-in-law is so pretty!"

Among the men she had seen since she was a child, there was no one as good-looking as him.Then she thought of Yin Niang again, and couldn't help thinking enviously: Cousin is really happy, not only can enjoy such a rich life, but also has such a good-looking man to accompany her.

Seeing Sister Qian's appearance, the servant girl's heart sank.She was originally a third-class housewife in Tangrong Courtyard, and was later promoted by the eldest lady to be a second-class envoy to serve the uncle's family. She thought that she was finally going to make her mark after being a third-class maid for so long. Well, the result...

Although she didn't do well in the Hou's mansion, she saw a lot of young girls thinking about spring, and then thought of some maids in the mansion who wanted to climb the master's bed. With a bloody look, he couldn't help shivering.

Although Miss Biao is not a maid, but...

No, she doesn't want to serve Miss Biao anymore, Miss Biao is a guest, if she does something unruly, at most she will be kicked out of the mansion, but she is a maid, and if she doesn't, she will be beaten to death .Even if she went back to sweep the yard again, it would be better than leaving no bones.

She has to ask the eldest lady to go and let her go back to Tangrong Courtyard to sweep the yard.But then she thought of another thing, she was only a third-class maid, and it was extremely difficult to see the eldest lady.However, you can first look for sister Qinghua or Caizhu in the Da Furen's courtyard. She has saved some monthly money this month and has not sent it to her parents. You can use it to take care of the two sisters; She bought two pairs of shoes with thick soles. She was planning to wear them during the Chinese New Year, so she could give them to her two sisters first.Oh, by the way, there is also Miss Biao's behavior, and I have to tell my wife.

When Lin Fengqi entered Tangrong Courtyard, he saw Yinniang walking around the room with one hand on her stomach.Her belly was already five months old, and she was wearing a bright yellow jacket for home use, and her protruding belly could be seen at a glance.

Lin Fengqi asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

Yin Niang said: "I'm exercising. The doctor said that my month is getting older, so I should move around more so that I will have strength when I give birth." She used to walk around the yard a few times in the afternoon, but these few days When it was snowing, she moved the sports venue indoors.

Lin Fengqi let out an "oh" and said nothing, and went back to the inner room to change clothes.

After changing clothes and coming out of the inner room, Yin Niang just turned around, and the two sat on the couch, Lin Fengqi asked again: "You brought your uncle's family to live in the mansion? Didn't you say that you hate them very much?" Family, didn't they treat you badly before?"

Speaking of this, Yin Niang became angry, and said depressedly: "Don't mention it, it was the aunt who let them live in. The reason that the aunt said is reasonable, and she used the money from the elders to suppress me. What can I do?"

Lin Fengqi thought for a while, and then said: "In the future, I will seldom see your uncle's family, so as not to let them offend you." In all things, as long as you have anything to do with Mrs. Da Tai, you must take precautions.

Alas, there is a ferocious beast that can bite at any time in the mansion, and the man holds the imperial decree that the old lady will divide the family and not divide the mansion before she dies, so he can't drive her out yet.Such a defense against the sun, when will it be a head!It would be great if he could separate her family, even if it cost a little more money, he would be happy.

The servant girl brought up the dinner, and the two of them ate the dinner together and drank the after-dinner tea together, then Yin Niang went to wash up first.

While taking a bath, while Qing Hua and the others were away, I also washed my hair. I haven't washed my hair for almost half a month, because the weather is cold and I am afraid of catching a cold. Pregnant women should not use drugs indiscriminately, lest the evil wind enter the body, adults and children suffer together.Yin Niang has always followed the advice of the old man in the mansion, but her scalp is so itchy these days that she can't bear it, and she is afraid that she will get lice in a few days.

As a result, Lin Fengqi saw him after he came out of the shower, and scolded him non-stop for half an hour.Anyway, it was already finished washing, Yin Niang apologized very quickly, but she was afraid of being babbled by him, so she rushed him to take a bath.Lin Fengqi lost her temper because of Yinniang, so she had to ask the maids to heat up the charcoal fire in the room, and pointed to the maids to wring her hair quickly, so as not to catch the cold.After giving these orders, he entered the bathroom to freshen up.

Not long after Lin Fengqi entered, Cai Zhu came in from the outside and said to Yin Niang: "Ma'am, point to the maid next to Miss Biao, called Xiao He, who was originally the third-class maid in our courtyard. She just asked for a servant girl." In front of you, let me tell you, transfer her back to the courtyard to serve."

"Oh." Yin Niang said in surprise, "I remember I promoted her, so why don't I want to serve Miss Biao?" If it's fair to say that she has a face in the main courtyard and wants to come back, she obviously doesn't have it here. In the early days, it should be a better way out to get promoted and wait by Miss Biao's side.

Caizhu said: "She said she likes to sweep the floor. After leaving the yard, she dreamed of coming back to sweep the yard."

Yin Niang laughed, she felt that she was looking for such a reason, but she really didn't know what to say, usually no one left the main courtyard and begged her to come back to serve her, there were all kinds of reasons, some said "Those who miss their wife", "the wife is the most loving and the best to the servants", "those who are reluctant to part with the sisters in the courtyard", etc. No one said "I like sweeping the floor".No wonder she couldn't get promoted in the third class, she was so clumsy that she couldn't even find a better reason, but Yin Niang thought she was cute.

Cai Zhu felt that the reason Xiao He said was quite pleasant, so she smiled and continued: "She also gave me two pairs of shoes, three hundred wen ago." Then she wrapped the two pairs of shoes in a handkerchief He took out the copper coins he was holding.

Yin Niang brought the shoes over and looked at them. The soles of the shoes were very thickly embroidered, and the butterflies and winter jasmine flowers on the uppers were lifelike. It must have taken a lot of effort to embroider, but the shoes were a bit small, obviously not suitable for blue and white feet.These should be the ones she embroidered for herself to wear, but now she takes them out as a favor as a favor, but she forgot that different people's feet have different sizes, and this shoe may not fit other people's feet.Yin Niang smiled again, really, she couldn't even give gifts.
