Madam Hou

Chapter 81

There are three married aunts in the Yongning Hou Mansion, they are Dong's two daughters, Feng Ling and Feng Rong, and Lin Hou Ye's eldest daughter, Feng Xuan.

Both Feng Ling and Feng Rong from the big house have come back, but because Feng Xuan is about to give birth, and now is the time when she may give birth at any time, no one in the Tian family dares to let her go out, so Feng Xuan only let her go out in the second year of junior high school The man came back with the New Year's gift, but he didn't arrive.

Along with the annual ceremony, there is also a gift for Yin Niang.It was a gold phoenix hairpin with a little emerald green color, fine workmanship, a gem was held in the phoenix's mouth, shining brightly, it was placed in a mahogany box covered with red satin, and Yinniang liked it very much when she saw it.When they were in the boudoir, the relationship between Yinniang and Fengxuan was better than other sisters in the family. Yinniang got married, but Fengxuan didn't arrive because of pregnancy, this golden phoenix hairpin was her apology gift.

Although Feng Ling and Feng Rong are the aunts of the Yongning Hou Mansion, they rarely come back. Yin Niang doesn't see them very often. Yin Niang remembers that they usually only come back during the New Year's Eve, and it won't be long after they come back. Damn, the number of times Yinniang talked to them could be counted on ten fingers.

Feng Ling and Feng Rong have seven or eight similarities in appearance, they both look more like the Dong family, but Feng Ling is taller, probably because she is the eldest daughter, her temperament is more dignified and stable, while Feng Rong looks more delicate Some.

The two of them are not close to the third room, Feng Ling is okay, when Yin Niang went to say hello, she can still show a minimum of respect, while Feng Rong directly swung the knife with her eyes, looking at Yin Niang and asked angrily: " Where is my mother?"

She couldn't control how the other party behaved, Yin Niang felt that she should show her own demeanor, so she smiled very politely and said: "The eldest aunt is waiting for the two sisters in Qingheyuan, I will go there with the two sisters .”

But Feng Rong snorted at Yin Niang, then turned her head to the maid who was holding gifts behind her and said, "Take these gifts to me and take them to the Qinghe Courtyard, so as not to leave them here to feed the white-eyed wolf." After finishing speaking, she ignored her Yin Niang, she hurried to the direction of Qingheyuan first.

Feng Ling, who was behind her, apologized for her sister: "Feng Rong was a little outspoken, don't mind, I will apologize to you on her behalf."

Yin Niang managed to maintain her smile, and said, "Yes, I won't mind with Sister Rong." She just treated it as being barked by a dog.

After Yinniang sent Fengling and Fengrong to Qingheyuan, she came out first because she was going to prepare lunch.When the mother and daughter meet each other, they must whisper something, and it's an eyesore for her to stay here.

The maids and wives prepare the lunch, and Yinniang doesn't need to do anything, she just needs to move her mouth.After a few orders in the kitchen, he came out and sat in the hall, and poured tea to drink.

When the kitchen lady came out and said that lunch was ready, Yinniang said to Qingteng next to her, "Go to Qingheyuan and invite your aunt and two sisters over for lunch." After she thought about it, she finally said: "Forget it, I'll go over and ask for it myself." Then he lifted his foot and went out, and Qingteng followed behind Yin Niang.

When Yinniang stepped into the Qinghe Courtyard, Feng Rong was talking to Mrs. Dong in the room, the door of the room was open, and two servant girls were guarding outside the door.Feng Rong's voice was especially loud, and Yin Niang heard it from a distance.

"...Mom, they are trying to force me to death. This is the sixth time they have taken in, and this time they even have to bring in a concubine. How will I live, and how will our sister Chun live."

"...The snobbish eyes of the whole family, they dare to bully me like this. In the final analysis, it is because my natal family has no support. If my father had not died, or if my younger brother had inherited the title, how dare they bully me like this? Dare to let the concubine give birth to a son before me."

Then it was Dong who comforted her in a low voice, her voice was too low, Yin Niang didn't hear what she said clearly.

Although Yin Niang wanted to continue listening to the gossip, she was too embarrassed to stop and listen. It felt like eavesdropping, but she still slowed down a bit.

Feng Rong's voice continued: "...my husband is haunted by those little goblins and doesn't agree with me, and my mother-in-law likes to make troubles. Last time, their beautiful aunt almost lost her baby because of her poor pregnancy. , even this, my mother-in-law actually blamed me."

After hearing this, Yinniang asked Qingteng next to her in a low voice: "I remember that Sister Rong is married to Uncle Dongchang's third son, Qin Yong. She and Mrs. Wang's third young lady are sisters-in-law, right?"

Qingteng nodded and said, "Yes."

Yin Niang said: "Speaking of the third young lady of the Wang family, it always reminds me of Sister Yun. I didn't know that Miss Qin was pregnant. At the beginning, when I saw the third young master Wang's obsession with Sister Yun, I thought it was him. I will never get close to Miss Qin's family for the rest of my life. Sister Yun would rather live in a nunnery because of him. Sure enough, men are reliable, and sows can climb trees."

Qingteng smiled in a low voice, but did not speak.But he said in his heart that among the rich and powerful families, the most important thing is the inheritance of heirs. The young master of the Wang family wants to protect Miss Jiang's body like a jade, and the elders of the Wang family will probably not agree.What's more, Miss Qin and Young Master Wang have known each other since they were young. If Miss Qin shows her helplessness and grievance a few times, Young Master Wang will soften his heart.

Yin Niang stepped over the threshold and entered the house, then coughed softly, then walked around the screen and lifted the curtain to enter the inner room.The voices in the inner room stopped immediately, at this time Feng Rong was leaning on Dong's knees, the mother and daughter seemed to have cried before, their eyes were red, and the tears still hadn't come to dry quickly .

After Yinniang came in, the three of them quickly wiped away their tears, obviously they didn't want Yinniang to know what happened just now.Yin Niang also acted as if she hadn't seen anything, she gave them a blessing with a smile, and said: "Auntie, Sister Ling, Sister Rong, lunch is ready, please move to the flower hall in front to eat."

Feng Ling squeezed out a smile and said to Yin Niang: "Okay, let's go now, brother and sister have worked hard."

Yinniang said: "Yinniang should."

After lunch, Feng Ling and Feng Rong didn't stay in Yongning Hou Mansion for long, and then they went back home by car.After they left, Mrs. Lin Hou breathed out and said, "Finally, I have sent away this plague god. Every time I come here, it feels like I owe her 500 years ago."

Yinniang knew that Mrs. Lin Hou was talking about Feng Rong. During the meal just now, Feng Rong also choked on Mrs. Lin Hou several times.Yin Niang lowered her head and smiled, feeling that what Mrs. Lin Hou said was really reasonable.

After returning to Mudetang, Yinniang asked Caizhu to be called in.

After getting married, Yinniang re-assigned the work of the maids around her.Qingteng was careful and determined, so Yinniang asked her to take care of Mudetang's finances and warehouses, Qinghua could dress up people, and Yinniang asked her to take care of her clothes and jewelry. Let her take charge of the personnel and kitchen of Mudetang.As for Cai Zhu, because she is the son of the Hou Mansion, she is very good at inquiring about news, while Yin Niang asked her to take charge of the diplomacy of Mu Detang, and asked her to walk around the Hou Mansion whenever she had nothing to do, so that she could communicate with each other and at the same time You can ask for news.

After Caizhu came in, after giving Yiniang Fu a gift, she smiled and asked Yiniang, "Eldest young mistress, what do you want from me?"

Yinniang asked Caizhu: "Are you familiar with the people in the outer court? Can you find someone to help me find out about the affairs of Beppu?"

Caizhu said: "I grew up with Ercheng from the carriage and horse house. He is the best at inquiring about news. It's just young mistress. Which one do you want to inquire about?"

"You find someone to help me find out about the relationship between the third young master of the Wang family and her wife. I heard that the third young lady of the Wang family is pregnant. Please help me find out how many months she has been pregnant." After speaking, he continued a little embarrassed: "Well, besides... don't let people know that I inquired about it." A woman in the inner house asks someone to inquire about the affairs of other people's couples in other people's houses. It is always not pleasant to tell such things, and it is easy to let people know. People are full of imagination.

After Caizhu heard this, she said very faithfully: "Young Mistress, don't worry, I will definitely help you with this matter, and I will never let anyone know that it was you who asked people to inquire."

Yinniang patted Caizhu's shoulder, and said very gratified: "Thanks for your hard work, Caizhu, don't worry, I will help you find a good family in the future, tell me, what kind of person do you want to marry, I will marry you." Good for you to pay attention."

Caizhu blushed, waved the handkerchief in her hand, covered her face, and said angrily: "Young Mistress, you are so bad, how can you tell people such things, I won't tell you." After speaking, she stood up , gave Yin Niang a blessing, and then ran out.

After Lin Fengqi came back in the evening, Yinniang told Lin Fengqi what happened today, especially the words that Mrs. Lin Hou said that Feng Rong was the God of Plague, Yinniang told Lin Fengqi like a joke.She was angry with Feng Rong today, she originally wanted Lin Fengqi to share a common hatred with her, and make fun of Feng Rong together.But in the end, Lin Fengqi sighed heavily after listening, and then showed a heavy expression.

After being heavy for a while, Lin Fengqi hugged Yinniang into his arms, curled her hair on her chest with his fingers, twirled it around, and then said: "Actually speaking, our family is also somewhat sorry for the uncle's family. .”

Lin Fengqi feels to Yinniang now that he is a young man who wants to talk.Yin Niang leaned against his chest and raised her head, showing that she was listening attentively.

Lin Fengqi said: "Have you ever wondered why after Uncle passed away, Uncle obviously had a son, but in the end it was Dad who inherited the title?"

Yin Niang nodded.

In fact, Yinniang has heard some of these things from the servants in the mansion, but generally those who tell this kind of thing to the outside know the truth, and the servants who know the details are generally stricter. , so Yinniang doesn't know much.And these things are naturally more clearly known from Lin Feng than from the subordinates.
