Farming in Nongmen: After breaking off the marriage, she became the favorite of Lord Hou

Chapter 173 The old lady returned to Beijing, and Zhixue appeared
He also tolerated his father spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, leaving his mother to die of depression in the cold courtyard.

In his heart, family affection is actually dispensable.

Orchid Court.

An old lady with a serious expression was sitting on a mahogany chair, holding a weird Zen stick in her hand, which was somewhat similar to a walking stick, not exaggerated.

I saw her black hair when she was young, like the first snow falling in the severe winter, like the first frost in autumn. The silver hair is half covered, half hidden, looming.

There are wrinkles on his face, like the twists and turns of the past. His eyes are particularly cold.

The hair was carefully combed without any mess. But the silver-like white hairs were still clearly visible in the black hair.

In the slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of dark brown eyes quietly recounted the vicissitudes of the years. He stared straight at the door.

Standing beside him was a beautiful and refined woman.

I saw her phoenix eyes with spring, long eyebrows into the temples, and a smile at the corner of her mouth. She was about 22 or [-] years old, and she was very beautiful.

Dressed in a green dress, put her hands on her chest obediently, and said softly, "Old lady, you don't have to worry, drink some tea to moisten your throat first."

Only then did the old lady relax, holding the tea and drinking it gracefully.

The teacup falls.

A man and a woman had already walked in, and Yu Qingqing sized up the old lady at first glance, with a serious and indifferent expression.

Then he made a big gift with Wei Yu.

Wei Yu took two steps forward and asked respectfully, "Grandson has seen grandma, why did you return to Beijing early, grandma?"

The old lady was naturally happy to see Wei Yu, but her eyes followed Yu Qingqing's indifferently and said, "Yu'er, this is the little peasant girl from the countryside? She's so tall..."

There is no following.

Yu Qingqing was particularly depressed, it's been a long time to praise people halfway.

Is this against her?But she is the only relative of Lord Hou, so she hurriedly helped her up and said, "I have seen the old lady, the girl looks very ordinary, but..."

"Who told you to do it? There are no rules in the countryside." The old lady moved the crutch in her hand and yelled sharply.

Yu Qingqing was confused, so she stopped talking.

It seems that this old lady is not a good stubble, it is not obvious that she is picking on her thorns.

"Grandmother, why do you say that about Qingqing?" Wei Yu's face darkened instantly, he could never see anyone with such an attitude towards Qingqing.

The old lady's face was gloomy, and she replied indifferently, "Yu'er, you are a dignified An Guohou, marrying a peasant girl, begging will make you laugh."

This is the reason why she returned to Beijing so quickly, she didn't want the reputation of the Hou Mansion to be defeated by Wei Yu.

Besides, she has a perfect candidate, Zhixue beside her...

Wei Yu was not happy for a moment. He put his hands behind his back, put away the little smile, his eyes became darker, and said coldly, "Grandmother, what grandson decides, can never be changed."

"Besides, this is the grandson's lifelong event. No matter who he marries, the grandson should decide for himself."

"No one has the right to be dry."

He said the last sentence so loudly that Yu Qingqing was startled.

From childhood to adulthood, my grandmother never really cared about him. She was kicked out of the Hou Mansion by her father and traveled abroad for so many years, but she just ignored him.

Why should he point fingers at his life-long events?
If it weren't for the fact that his grandmother was old and his only lover, he would never have wasted time standing here.

Not to allow others to show Qingqing's face.

The old lady was angry when she saw Wei Yu. She knew that her grandson had been soft rather than hard since he was a child.

If you force him, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive.

Seeing him like that, he is also determined to marry this country girl in front of him, thinking silently in his heart.

next moment.

Suddenly smiled, got up slowly, came to Yu Qingqing, and said softly, "Yu'er sees your bad temper, grandma was just joking."

"This Qingqing girl is now a veritable talented woman in the capital."

"It's cute, cute, and smart, why wouldn't grandma like it?"

"However... some ladylike attitudes still need to be learned, Yu'er, are you right?"

The same Yu Qingqing also looked at him, Wei Yu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yu Qingqing.

She replied with a knowing smile, "What the old lady said is that there are some etiquettes that need to be learned."

"Look how sensible Miss Qingqing is." The old lady gave Wei Yu a blank look.

He said to Yu Qingqing kindly, "Miss Qingqing, I will stay in Bilan Courtyard for a while, and I will ask Nanny Hua to teach you well."

"After becoming the wife of the Marquis Mansion, you can also monopolize one side, can't you?"

What she said was straightforward, but who knows what kind of medicine this old lady sells in her gourd?

From the bottom of her eyes, Yu Qingqing could see a bit of disdain, so these words were not sincere.

You can't turn your back on it.

Yu Qingqing smiled sweetly, and quickly responded, "What the old lady said is true, then I will stay and study for a few days."

"Master Hou, what do you think?"

Wei Yu didn't have much to say. Looking at the old lady's sincere eyes, he replied blankly, "It's up to you, but just study for a few days."

"The person I like doesn't need to talk about etiquette and rules."

He promised to just give the old lady a face, then gave Qingqing a few words, and then walked away.

Yu Qingqing stood there in embarrassment. At this time, the old lady became angry, "Miss Qingqing, let's study hard with Madam Hua these few days."

"Understood, old lady."

……

Madam Hua walked over, she looked very kind from the face, always smiling.

Looking at her, she felt like she was once a mother, and she couldn't find a feeling of obedience and indifference.
The moment Yu Qingqing went up to meet her, Nanny Hua's attitude changed drastically, her face turned cold instantly, "You should live in a side room for a few days, and start learning the rules tomorrow."

There was a bit of contempt in her eyes, when the girl named Zhixue came over.

She said softly and affectionately, "Miss Qingqing, I have long admired your name. My name is Zhixue, and I will take care of you in the future."

How much do you need to worry?

Yu Qingqing looked at her with some doubts, and thought: You and I met for the first time, and you didn't do anything wrong to me, so why should you worry about it?
Her brows were the same as before, and she grinned and said, "Zhixue, this name is really nice, just like you, clear and refined, beautiful and generous."

"Are you the old lady's personal maid?"

"Yes, thank you, Miss Qingqing, for your compliment." Zhixue replied, her eyes filled with pure light, and her gaze kept lingering on Yu Qingqing's face.

After being polite for a while, the two walked towards the side room with Qiu Jin.

She is also tired.

After entering the room, he lay directly on the bed. As soon as he lay down, he frowned and muttered, "This bed is so hard, how can I sleep?"

Qiu Jin followed behind her all the time without making a sound, silently arguing for Yu Qingqing in her heart.

Yu Qingqing saw that her face was not good-looking, and hurriedly asked, "Qiu Jin, what's the matter with you?"

Qiu Jin put down the things in her hands, and said slowly, "Miss Qingqing, don't you think that the old lady's ulterior motives are not in drinking?"

"I know, don't worry." Yu Qingqing said with a wink.

Qiu Jinsheng is innocent and not so thoughtful. Before the old lady returned to Beijing, she had inquired about it.

I heard that the old lady is extremely indifferent and ruthless, and she is also very harsh on her servants.

Since she returned home, everyone was tense, for fear of doing something wrong.

……

Night is coming.

Outside the side room, the footsteps of Ye Xun's guards sounded.

Yu Qingqing yawned and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

When she was sleeping soundly, someone suddenly lifted the quilt, and saw Aunt Hua looking down from above, and said in a cold tone, "Hurry up, there is a lady like you who sleeps till the sun rises."

That sharp voice was buzzing and laughing in her ear like a bee.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, squinted slightly and said, "Mother Hua, why did you get up so early? Did you not sleep all night last night?"

Her voice was particularly lazy, and she covered the dazzling light with her hands.

Nanny Hua put her hands on her hips, staring at her closely, her double chins stacked on top of each other.

Slowly sat up, and said softly, "Mother Hua, can you stop looking at me like this? I'm in a panic."

Nanny Hua snorted coldly, turned around and walked to the door, continuing to wait.

After Yu Qingqing put on her clothes slowly, she casually leaned against the door frame, rolled her eyes at Madam Hua and said, "I'm hungry, I want to have breakfast first."

Mammy Hua smiled indifferently, "Well, let's start with breakfast."

She has to start learning after breakfast, treat her as mentally handicapped.

Qiu Jin quickly ordered the cook to prepare some delicious breakfast, which filled the whole table.

Yu Qingqing glanced at Nanny Hua, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Suddenly a big hand snatched her chopsticks, and Mammy Hua said with a serious expression, "Girl Qingqing, you are not called eating, you are called snatching food."

"In royal protocol, this would be frowned upon."

Is it that serious?
Yu Qingqing raised her head and looked at her suspiciously.

I saw Madam Su put down her chopsticks, straightened her clothes, and sat gracefully at the dining table, with her head held high.

The right hand slowly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a bean and gently put it into his mouth, then raised his left hand to cover the mouth that was eating.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the spoon again and drank the porridge gently without sending a sound.

Finally, with the silk handkerchief in his hand, he gently wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at Yu Qingqing and said, "You should not be rude when eating, do not pull out dishes, do not turn dishes, and do not rest your hands on the table."

"There is also the need to eat gracefully, drink soup and the like, and not make a sound, otherwise it will be disrespectful to other people at the table, and..."

Yu Qingqing listened in a cloud of fog, it was such a hassle to have a meal.

A pair of big dark eyes stared dumbfounded at Nanny Hua's mouth, not stopping.

It seemed that she was deliberately trying to trouble her, and her face changed frequently.

I only heard Mammy Hua turn to her side and said with a smile, "Miss Qingqing, please learn from what the old slave did just now and eat it once."

"As long as Miss Qingqing learns well, the old slave will be able to explain to the old lady, don't you think?"

Yu Qingqing "..."

As the saying goes, a person who stretches out his hand without hitting a smiling face has to bow his head under the eaves of others.

I just don't know what kind of tricks that old lady is playing?
……

Orchid Court.

Main room.

The old lady sat at the table with a pleasant face and had breakfast, she glanced at Zhixue and asked, "Xue'er, have I remembered everything I explained?"

"Remember clearly, old lady."

After a shy smile flashed across Zhixue's eyes, she quickly served the old lady a bowl of porridge, and stood beside her politely.

"Grandmother, why are you looking for Yu'er?" Wei Yu's voice sounded outside the door, and he walked in hurriedly.

The old lady looked at him, showing kind eyes, and beckoned him to sit down.

He asked, "Yu'er, have you eaten breakfast yet?"

He shook his head.

The old lady quickly motioned to Zhixue, and said softly, "This girl, hurry up and serve Master Hou a bowl of porridge."

"Yes, old lady."

Zhixue quickly approached Wei Yu with a bowl of porridge, glanced at him tenderly from the corner of the eye, and murmured, "Master Hou, please use it."

The moment she ate the porridge, a pleasant smell of cloves lingered on the tip of Wei Yu's nose.

He shrugged his nose and never looked at Zhixue from the beginning to the end.

He lowered his head, ate the porridge in the bowl and said, "Grandma, where is Qingqing?"

The old lady smiled lightly, and said calmly, "She is eating breakfast in the side room, and Nanny Hua is teaching her, that girl is smart, and she learns well."

"Yu'er doesn't believe it, go and see for yourself?"

She was sure that Wei Yu would not go to see it, so she said it in such a high-sounding manner, all for Zhixue.

If this is the case, Wei Yu casually refused, "Forget it, let her study hard, and it's not worth it."

"The Marquis is still on official business."

A smile flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she responded, "Yu'er, later you and Zhixue go to the Yeguang Jade Pavilion and help grandma get back that white jade bracelet."

"It's the broken one. It's been so long, it should be groomed."

Wei Yu took the spoon in his hand, rolled his throat and swallowed the porridge in his mouth, and looked up at the old lady, "Grandma, I can do it by myself, so I don't need to bother your maid."

Caring girl, doesn't she deserve to have a name?
Hearing Wei Yu's answer, Zhixue was particularly disappointed.

When the old lady heard it, although she felt uncomfortable, she still said calmly on the surface, "Yu'er, don't you remember Zhixue? You played together when you were young."

Wei Yu lowered his eyes and replied blankly, "I don't remember."

The four words were like a basin of cold water, pouring over Zhixue's head, and she was inexplicably embarrassed standing beside her.

"It's been so many years, it's normal not to remember." The old lady smiled softly, but in fact she just wanted to slap him twice.

Dead wood cannot be carved.

She put down her chopsticks, looked at Zhixue and said, "Xue'er, remember to go to Yefeng Jade Pavilion with Lord Hou to get the bracelet."

"Hey... I'm a little disfigured, go back to the room and lie down for a while."

"Grandmother, there's really no need..." Wei Yu was about to say something, but the old lady had already entered the back room, and she didn't hear anything from the window.

He shook his head helplessly, got up and left.

Zhixue was behind her, and followed obediently. As soon as she left Bilan Courtyard, Wei Yu suddenly stopped and turned around quickly.

Zhixue lowered her head and almost bumped into his arms, she stopped her feet at the critical moment and was shocked.

Only then did Wei Yu glance at her, and said indifferently, "You don't have to follow. After I get back the bracelet, I will hand it over to you."

Zhixue lowered her head, her body trembled, as if she was particularly wronged, and in the next moment, she seemed to be about to cry.

She responded softly and softly, "Master Hou, let the servant go with you, no...otherwise the old lady will blame the servant."

That lovely and pitiful appearance, soft and weak, made Wei Yu extremely helpless.

No more talking, just want to go and come back quickly.
