Madam Hou

Chapter 94

Seeing her nanny winking constantly, although she was unwilling, she was afraid that she would really push her husband away, and the husband and wife would never get back together, so she said reluctantly: "I also made mistakes, this morning It shouldn't be like this."

Mother He felt relieved when she saw that Mrs. He relaxed.

On the second day, Yinniang had just finished washing, and Cai Zhu came in happily, and said to Yinniang, "It's done, the second young master and the second young mistress are done, and Yuan Momo has already taken the yuan handkerchief to the ancestral hall to burn today."

Yin Niang also felt relieved and said, "That's good."

If Mrs. He's life is not going well, it will easily pose a threat to the tranquility of the entire Hou Mansion.She didn't want to hear every day that the second young master and the second young mistress were having trouble again.

After finishing dressing up, Yinniang went to Tangrong Courtyard to pay her respects to Mrs. Linhou.

When Yinniang arrived, Mrs. Lin Hou was eating breakfast, holding a bowl of porridge in her hand. Seeing Yinniang coming in, she asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Yin Niang smiled and said: "Not yet, I can smell the fragrance of breakfast here in Mude Hall, so I come here to have breakfast."

Mrs. Lin Hou smiled, and said: "It's not the same from the big kitchen, why is the one here more fragrant?"

Yin Niang pretended to think for a while, and continued: "It must be because there is Niang, so it smells better."

"You are the only one who can talk. Come and eat together." Then she ordered Linglong behind her to help Yinniang serve a bowl of porridge, then turned around and said to Yinniang: "This morning's eight-treasure porridge is delicious. It's thick, drink it and see."

"Thank you, mother." After speaking, she took the white-glazed porcelain bowl that Linglong handed over.

Seeing Yinniang taking a sip, Mrs. Lin smiled slightly, then lowered her head and continued to drink the porridge.

After breakfast, Yin Niang and Mrs. Lin Hou moved to the Flower Hall to have tea.Yinniang poured a cup of tea into a white bowl, and offered it to Mrs. Linhou. Mrs. Lin took a sip, then put down the tea bowl, and said to Yinniang: "I think you did a good job at Fengye's wedding. , how to manage things at home, you have also learned by my side, I think you might as well take over the middle class at home, so that I can enjoy my happiness."

When Yinniang heard this, she couldn't help being excited.It is good to be able to take over mid-feeding, even if it is more convenient to do things by yourself.She is the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and sooner or later the family's midwife will be handed over to her, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, she thought that at least after she gave birth to the child, Mrs. Lin Hou would give her the midwives Woolen cloth.Mrs. Lin Hou's ability to do this at least shows that she has some trust in her.

Yin Niang excitedly said: "Yes, Mother, my daughter-in-law will definitely not disappoint your trust in me."

Mrs. Lin Hou nodded, and continued: "I will ask Yuan Momo to hand over the family's pair of cards to you, and then you can let the stewards answer in your yard, don't let them come by my side, there is Ask me again if you are unsure.”

"Yes."

After talking to Mrs. Linhou for a while, Yinniang returned to Mudetang. Not long after, Yuan Memo came over with a pair of cards. From now on, all the answers will come to Mudetang.

After all these were done, Yin Niang asked people to arrange gifts for He Shi to return home tomorrow and to prepare the carriage that He would use tomorrow.There are rules to follow in the Hou's mansion for giving and returning gifts, and there is no need for Yinniang to worry too much about these, but because He was wronged in the mansion on the day of marriage, Yinniang asked people to increase the gift twice according to the previous example, which is regarded as a gift. The meaning of the He family's apology.

After Lin Fengye and He's consummation, although their relationship was not as close as other newlyweds, they respected each other as guests. When they returned from the Three Dynasties, Lin Fengye followed He's to the He's house in a proper manner.It's just that when he came back, Lin Fengye had a lump on his head, as if he had been beaten.

When Lin Fengye and Mrs. He returned to the mansion, Yinniang did not see him, and Lin Fengye hid in the Danfeng courtyard after returning, and did not come out very often, so she did not see him injured with her own eyes.

I came back home with an injury, so it's not easy to call a doctor, lest someone who wants to know will talk about it.Yin Niang deliberately asked someone to send a bottle of medicinal wine to reduce swelling, but after thinking about it, she felt that they might not be willing to let her know about this kind of thing, and it was better for her to pretend not to know, so she also dismissed this idea.

After Lin Fengye's marriage was over, Qingteng's marriage was also planned by Yin Niang.Wang Yao had no elders, so he bought two big roast ducks outside, and invited Yuan Momo to be his matchmaker.Yinniang discussed with Yuan Memo and set Qingteng's wedding date on the second day of April.

Yinniang didn't want to hurry up like this, but when they saw each other, Wang Yao saw that Yinniang was not satisfied with him. He thought the marriage was a sham, but later he was told that the young lady agreed to marry Qingteng.He always felt that this was an unexpected surprise, and he was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away, so he asked Yuan Momo to urge her in front of Yin Niang twice a day, hoping to marry Qingteng into the door quickly so that the raw rice would be eaten. Cook rice.

Yin Niang was so annoyed by being reminded that she finally checked the almanac and saw that there was an auspicious day in early April, so she agreed to set the wedding date on the second day of April.

After all, Yinniang was the first to get married, and Mrs. Lin Hou gave Yinniang a face, and rewarded Qingteng with a few sets of clothes.They are all made of excellent materials, including Shu brocade, Yun brocade, and even a mouse skin coat. The clothes are probably new, and they are all fashionable styles.Change the waist and wear it like new.

Although the time is rushing, Yinniang still hopes that Qingteng's wedding can be held decently, so she has to find the materials herself, and asks the sewing room to rush out a set of wedding dresses.He picked some jewelry from his own jewelry box, both gold and silver, and there were more than a dozen pieces in total, and put them together with 100 taels of silver in a sour poplar box, and gave it to Qingteng , it was Yinniang's dowry to her.

When Yinniang gave the box to Qingteng, Qinghua admired beside her: "Wow, sister Qingteng, you seem to be a little rich woman now."

Yin Niang smiled and patted Qing Hua's shoulder, and said: "Qing Hua, don't worry, you grew up with me when you were young, and when you get married, I will also prepare so much dowry for you."

Seeing Caizhu who was helping Qingteng check the wedding dress next to him, he continued: "Caizhu is the same, when you get married, I will also prepare a dowry for you."

Caizhu covered her face with the wedding gown in her hand, and said shyly, "Oh, young mistress, you really hate me. She doesn't want to marry. I want to serve grandma for the rest of my life."

Yin Niang teased, "If you don't marry, what will Cheng Er do?"

Yinniang knows that Caizhu and Cheng Er grew up like childhood sweethearts, and the two have always been somewhat ambiguous.Cheng Er is a shrewd person, well-informed in the carriage and stables, and many of the news that Yin Niang wants are obtained from Cheng Er.

When it was the second day of April, Yinniang took the money and asked the kitchen to set up a few banquets, and Chuichuidada sent the green vines to Liushu Alley.

The servants in the mansion, if they reach the management level, generally will not be crowded in the group room of the servants, but will rent some houses in some alleys not far from the Hou's mansion, and then enter the mansion when they have to do business during the day Come.Of course, it is impossible to buy a house, no matter how rich he is.House slaves have no private property, and house slaves themselves are the property of the master's family, so how can they buy private property.Unless the master's family releases the contract of sale and cancels the lowly status.

Liushu Hutong is not far from Yongning Hou's Mansion, only two alleys are separated in the middle, and it will arrive within half a stick of incense when walking to Hou's Mansion.Wang Yao rented a second courtyard here and lived with his younger siblings.And now, of course, Ivy must be counted.

The maids in Mudetang and Qingteng had a good relationship, Yinniang sent a message, asking them all to drink Qingteng's wedding wine and go to the bridal chamber, Yinniang also went to ask for a glass of wedding wine, but she was afraid that she would stay there. They were uncomfortable, so they came back early.

Yin Niang was happy, so she asked someone to fetch a jug of wine, and she sat on the kang and poured herself a drink.The wine is brewed from pear blossoms. As the name suggests, pear blossom juice is added to the wine. The alcohol content is not high, and it tastes mellow, with the sweetness of pear blossoms.It is a wine suitable for women.

When Lin Fengqi came back, he found that the courtyard was quiet, only two second-class maids were left in the courtyard to wait on them.When Lin Fengqi came in, he walked and said, "Where are the maids in the yard, where are you slacking off, be careful I hit the board."

Yin Niang said: "Don't punish them, I told them to drink Qingteng's wedding wine."

Lin Fengqi knew that Qingteng was getting married today, so he didn't say anything else.Seeing Yinniang drinking by herself on the kang, she asked, "Why do you want to drink today?"

Yin Niang said: "I'm happy today, so I drank some."

Lin Fengqi also climbed onto the kang, took the jug on the kang table, and said with a smile: "It's rare that you are interested, let me have a few drinks with you." He took off the lid of the jug and smelled it, and said: "Why is that? Lihua Niang, this wine is like boiled water, what is the meaning of drinking it, if you want to drink it, you can drink Huadiao or Dabai Shao."

Yin Niang said: "Then I'll ask the servant girl to prepare a pot of Huadiao for you. I want to drink something made from pear blossoms. Other wines are too burnt for me. I don't like it."

Yin Niang asked the servant girl to bring in Huadiao wine, filled it up for Lin Fengqi, and then poured pear blossom wine into her wine glass.The two raised their glasses and clinked, and then finished.

Lin Fengqi took the jug and poured wine and said, "If it's winter, let's go to the Xuemei Courtyard to drink, enjoy the snow while drinking, and look at the plum blossoms at the same time, that would be interesting."

Yin Niang said: "Now that spring is not over, I'm thinking about winter."

After drinking for three rounds, Yin Niang gradually became a little drunk.Yinniang's capacity for alcohol is not light, but drinking a pot of pear blossom wine is still a little flattering.But Lin Fengqi wanted to see Yinniang's obsequiousness when she was drunk, and then coaxed Yinniang to drink a few cups of Huadiao. The Huadiao had enough stamina, and Yinniang gradually lost consciousness.

Lin Fengqi looked at Yinniang, whose face was flushed and laid back like a kitten just waking up, and felt that she was so cute now.Lin Fengqi stretched out his arms to hug her, held her face with his hands, kissed her hard on the face, and said, "My little Yiniang, why are you so cute?"

Yinniang giggled, and touched Lin Fengqi's face with both hands, and said, "Brother Fengqi, you are also very likable?"

"Really? Who likes it then?"

"To please Yin Niang."

Lin Fengqi wanted to tease her, and asked again: "When is Yiniang most fond of, and is it when she is sleeping?"

Yin Niang continued to smile, although she was drunk, she was still ashamed, she covered her face with her hand, but she nodded boldly and said: "Yes."

Lin Fengqi hugged her head with a laugh, and said with a smile: "You are really shameless! But it doesn't matter, Brother Fengqi also thinks that Yinniang is the most lovable when she is sleeping."

The long night ahead, let your imagination run wild!
