Madam Hou

Chapter 49

Mrs. Lin Hou took the lid and gently opened the tea leaves floating on the surface of the tea, took a sip of the tea, put down the teacup gently, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, then said slowly: "This Yin Niang said The status is a bit worse, but it is better than those who are hard-fated. At least you don’t have to worry about this good person, because marrying a daughter-in-law will kill you for no reason. Ma'am, don't you think so?"

It is clear at a glance what Mrs. Lin Hou said. How could the Marquis of Fuyang not understand it? Anyone who hears that his child is said to be a hard-working man will not feel good. Marquis Fuyang held his breath in his heart. But because it was my family's refusal to get married at the beginning, and I couldn't spit out the tone directly, I could only argue in a low voice: "Although there are people who are so hard-fated, it is not good for a girl who has been implicated by the man because of her lack of luck. At least, it’s impossible to beat a bunch of people to death with one stick.”

Mrs. Lin Hou said: "Ma'am, you don't have to make them too innocent. No matter how dishonest the man is, he has lived a good life for so many years. How can he suddenly lose his life after marrying a daughter-in-law? There is always a reason for this." Inside, don’t you think so?... Oh, by the way, I’ve just finished the New Year and I’m very busy. My family temple is small, so I won’t keep my wife.”

The other party talked about this point, no matter how thick-skinned Mrs. Fuyang Hou was, she was too embarrassed to stay, so she had to leave with a face that was pale from humiliation.

After Madam Hou of Fuyang left, Madam Linhou looked at her back as she gradually walked away and disappeared, and said with a pooh: "Oh, I really made my daughter a fairy. If you want my son, you will pull it down. Hmph, don't you want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, you deserve the reputation of being a Kefu at a young age." After speaking, he stood up and left the flower hall.

Seeing that the weather outside is good, the snow has stopped, and it is white outside, Mrs. Lin Hou is also very interested, and asks someone to take a big coat and put it on, and leads Linglong and Cuizhu to go out to enjoy the snow.When they walked to the plum blossom forest, they happened to see Yinniang leading a group of maids to build a snowman in the plum blossom forest.

A group of teenage girls were all wearing stone blue cotton jackets, only one in the middle was wearing white fox fur.In a small open space in the middle, seven or eight snowmen were piled up, forming a circle.The snowman has different looks, including the simple and honest type, the cute smiling type, and the seriousness with frowning eyebrows. A group of people play together regardless of whether they are masters or servants, laughing and joking, until the original silent plum blossom forest, into a lively place.

A little girl saw Mrs. Lin Hou first, and quickly pulled the hand of a companion next to her, and then signaled to the others, and then everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed to Mrs. Lin Hou politely: "Madam, please be well!"

Yinniang turned out to be carrying Mrs. Lin Hou behind her back. When she knew that Mrs. Lin Hou was here, she also turned around and greeted Mrs. Lin Hou with a blessing: "Ma'am!"

Yinniang has grown up fast these days, she is taller and slender than when she first came to the capital, and she has learned the rules for so long. And with a flamboyant posture.Her salute was no worse than most of the famous ladies in the capital.

Mrs. Linhou was a little surprised, she didn't have time to talk to Yinniang these days, but she didn't know that she played so well with the maids in the mansion.Among the girls who played with her, there were not only the girls who served in Jingxiang Courtyard, but also the girls who worked in the kitchen, the garden house, the sewing room, and the warehouse. I don't know how she used to gather these people together. into one piece.

But Mrs. Lin Hou is in a good mood today, so she doesn't care about these things anymore.After what happened to Mrs. Hou of Fuyang today, comparing Liu Jianjiao and Yinniang, I just feel that everything about Yinniang is pleasing to the eye.Seeing that he was here again, the originally lively atmosphere disappeared, and a bunch of girls turned into a low-browed, lifeless look, so he nodded kindly to the girls and walked away.Before leaving, seeing that Yinniang was wearing some thin clothes, she even said: "The weather is cold, so I will go out and wear a big shirt before going out, lest I need to find a doctor if I get sick again."

Although the tone was a bit cold, there was also a tone of concern.Standing next to Yin Niang, Qing Hua looked at Madam Lin Hou's back, and was so surprised that her mouth was so wide that she could almost stuff an egg into it.Qing Hua thought in her heart: This Mrs. Lin Hou can't be a ghost, she actually cared about Miss.

On the other side of Fuyang Hou's mansion, after getting off the carriage, Mrs. Fuyang Hou hurried into the yard where her daughter lived, and saw that the door of the bedroom was tightly closed, and only her daughter's personal maid, Huan'er, was guarding the door.When Huan'er saw Madam Fuyang Hou, she bowed her knees and saluted. Madam Fuyang Hou glanced at the closed bedroom door, and asked Huan'er, "Where is Kaoyao, what are you doing inside?"

Huan'er said: "Miss is working as a maid inside." Fearing that Mrs. Fuyang Hou would misunderstand that she was lazy and would not go in to serve her personally, she explained: "Miss said she wanted to be alone and not let servants serve in the house. "

Mrs. Fuyang Hou nodded, and then said: "Open the door."

Huan'er said yes, and opened the door.Madam Hou of Fuyang walked in, and saw her daughter sitting where she usually worked as a maid, with an embroidery frame in one hand and a needle and thread in the other, but she was stunned, and the needle and thread in her hand hadn't moved for a long time.He didn't move until he heard someone coming in, and turned his head to look at Mrs. Fuyanghou.

Mrs. Fuyang Hou looked at her daughter and closed her eyes, feeling that she couldn't bear to look any more.It took her a long time to open her eyes, and she went over to snatch the needle, thread and embroidery frame from her daughter, put them back into the needlework basket, and said to her daughter with a smile: "I know you like the eldest brother of the Lin family, but Mrs. Lin Hou I'm afraid it won't work there. You know she has a vindictive nature. When I refused the marriage and slapped her in the face, she might not forgive me. Mother will choose a good husband for you from another family. Mother promises that this time Do whatever you want, if you don't nod your head, Mother will never force you again."

"Ruyi Langjun?" Liu Jianzhen laughed at herself a few times in a low voice, and then said: "There is a reputation for being a hard-working man, and he has engaged in a marriage. Which family is willing to let the good boy in the family marry me? What's more, No matter how good they are, they are not the ones in my heart.”

Mrs. Hou of Fuyang felt very guilty when she heard her daughter's words.The daughter is also a darling. At the beginning, she clearly knew that the young master of the Jiang family was a dude, but she was obsessed with ghosts. For the sake of her son's future, she insisted on making this marriage for her daughter, and finally let her end up in this situation.

Liu Juan raised her head and looked at her mother, the tears pooled in her eyes, and she couldn't get rid of them, which made Mrs. Fuyang Hou feel even more distressed.Liu Jianjian said: "Mother, you go and tell Aunt Lin that as long as I can come in, I am willing to be a concubine, and I am willing to kowtow to Miss Chen Er to offer tea, as long as I am by Brother Fengqi's side."

Madam Hou of Fuyang was so frightened that she stood up directly, looked at her daughter as if she didn't know her, then pinched her daughter's arm, and said angrily: "You little enemy, what nonsense are you talking about? Miss is going to be a concubine for someone, kowtow and serve tea to a wild girl from the countryside, do you still want to see people, do you want me, your father and your brother to go out?"

Liu Jianluo also stood up and complained: "After all, you still regard your brother as the most important thing, only I can sacrifice. If it weren't for you, I should have been brother Fengqi's wife , I was supposed to be with Brother Feng Qi, it was all of you..." As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes.

Mrs. Fuyang Hou couldn't help crying when she heard this, she cried and said: "I know you blame me for having more flesh in the palm of your hand and less flesh in the back of your hand, but is it not meat if you have less flesh in the back of your hand? Would I still intentionally harm you?" No? How is this concubine so easy to be, 'Li Nu' is a concubine, the main room sits, the concubine's room has to stand and serve, no matter how noble a concubine is, she is not respected, and the children born are not allowed to call her mother, In the future, you will not be able to inherit the family business, and you may be persecuted by the wife. Is this the life you want?"

"I won't. Brother Feng Qi and I are childhood sweethearts. He will protect me and our child in the future." Even though he said so, there was a little bit of uncertainty in his voice.

Mrs. Fuyang Hou said: "Don't dream, there is no man who doesn't like the new and dislike the old, look at the aunts in your father's backyard, which of them he has never liked, but now, it is life or death, your father even frowns No matter what, I will never promise you to be a concubine, I have already pushed you into the fire pit once, and I will never push you into the second time." After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeve vigorously , and no longer cared what his daughter wanted to say, he went out directly.

The eighth day of the first lunar month is the full moon of the second princess.

The Heavenly Dynasty does not pay more attention to the princess than the prince, but the emperor always loves the little princess who was born on the Laba Festival. Even if he had a hot fight with the beautiful woman who came out of the Concubine Shu's palace recently, he did not forget the little princess full moon ceremony.

The empress shut herself in the Fengyi Palace and did not even come out to pay her respects during the New Year. All affairs in the palace were presided over by Concubine Shu.The emperor directly said to Concubine Shu: My beloved little princess is full moon, dear concubine, please take good care of her.

Although Concubine Shu was unhappy about this, she was a princess after all, and no matter how favored she was, she would not hinder her eldest prince, and she was unwilling to leave an impression in front of the emperor that she was narrow-minded and treated the emperor's heirs lightly, so she also ordered people to take good care of her. It was done.

Yan Niang also moved from the side hall of Fengyi Palace to Lanhe Palace in advance because of the empress's self-examination. The princess naturally moved to Lanhe Palace with Yanniang.

Although Yanniang's recent favor was overshadowed by Wanmei, the emperor hadn't forgotten her. Although the sign was withdrawn during the confinement period and she couldn't serve her bed, the emperor would go to Lanhe Palace every day for a visit.One day, when the emperor was happy, Yanniang asked her mother and younger sister to come to the palace to meet her granddaughter and niece. The emperor saw that the request was not worth it, but it was just to let a few women into the palace. He agreed casually.
