After the rebirth, she was targeted by the prince

Chapter 240 Dissatisfaction
Thinking of the powerful Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Hou was extremely troubled.

Hou Ye comforted: "Madam, don't worry. If the mother-in-law mentions the matter of discussing marriage tomorrow, Madam will say that Madam is not in charge of this matter, and I need to nod. Madam will just put the responsibility on me."

Mrs. Cui is picky about Mrs. Hou in every possible way, but she treats Master Hou very politely.

Madam Hou turned her head to look at Lord Hou, and said hesitantly: "But, in this way, won't it cause trouble for Lord Hou?"

Mrs. Hou knew her mother's temper well, and she was worried that her mother would say bad things to Lord Hou, so she didn't want Lord Hou to get involved.

Lord Hou tightened Madam Hou's hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Ma'am, what you said is inappropriate. Brother Le's marriage is a major matter in the Hou family. I am the head of the family, so I should worry about it. How can I call it troublesome?
From now on, whenever something happens, my wife will just push me and ask my mother-in-law to come and find me. "

Mrs. Hou said worriedly: "Master Hou, my mother is used to being strong. What if her old man forces Brother Le to marry Sister Yi? I don't want Brother Le to be wronged."

Lord Hou patted Mrs. Hou on the shoulder, and said in relief: "Don't worry, my mother-in-law can force Madam, but she can't force me, let alone Brother Le."

Mrs. Hou thought about it, but she was still worried, "Master Hou, is this okay?"

Lord Hou smiled at Madam Hou, "Listen to me, that's right!"

The next day, Mrs. Hou arrived as scheduled.

Mrs. Cui sat at the head of Fu'an Hall in Duke Cheng's mansion, looked up at Mrs. Hou, and said coldly, "Sit down!"

After thanking Mrs. Hou, she sat down next to her.

Mrs. Hou's low-browed and pleasing look made Mrs. Cui feel a lot better.

After the servant served tea and left, Mrs. Cui asked straight to the point: "What do you think about what I told you? When will you come to propose marriage?"

Mrs. Hou put down the cup in her hand, bowed to Mrs. Cui and said, "Go back to mother, about Le Ge'er's marriage, the daughter can't make the decision, this matter, Master Hou nodded."

After hearing Mrs. Hou's words, Mrs. Cui's face instantly pulled down,
Very dissatisfied and asked: "You are Brother Le's mother, you can't decide this matter?"

Faced with Mrs. Cui's angry questioning, Mrs. Hou was in a panic, but thinking of the important events in her son's life, she tried her best to stabilize her mind and warned herself not to get confused.

Madam Hou sighed, lowered her head and said: "Oh, there are some things that my daughter has never said to her mother.

Actually, my daughter's life in the Hou's mansion these years has not been satisfactory, she just looks at the scenery, but she is a person who can't control everything in the mansion. "

Madam Hou had a look of helplessness and guilt.

Mrs. Cui felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and said angrily: "Looking at your shrewd appearance, I think you are a good person.

It turned out to be a useless thing!How did the old man raise such a waste like you? "

Faced with Mrs. Cui's scolding, Mrs. Hou lowered her head and said with great aggrievedness: "My mother taught me since childhood that you need to know the three cardinal principles and five constant principles to be a human being. What did my daughter do wrong?"

Mrs. Cui choked with anger, and stared at Mrs. Hou bitterly. "You impolite thing, how dare you talk back! What are you doing? You only know how to mess around in the nest."

Mrs. Hou looked down at the teacup, and Mrs. Ren Cui scolded with staring eyes.

Mother Qiao was on the sidelines to persuade her.

Mrs. Cui stopped, took a deep breath, looked at Mrs. Hou and said, "Since this is the case, let the Duke and Lord Hou discuss this matter."

Seeing Mrs. Cui's compromise, Mrs. Hou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded and said: "Well, yes. For such a big matter, it's better for father and Lord Hou to discuss it.

Mother called me back, is there anything else?If there is nothing else, the daughter will go back first.Not in the mansion for a few days, there are a lot of things waiting to be settled in the mansion. "

Mrs. Cui didn't want to see Mrs. Hou's worthless appearance, so she waved her hand and said, "It's okay, you can go."

Madam Hou stood up and saluted Old Madam Cui to say goodbye, took two steps back, turned around and left the Nuan Pavilion quickly.

Mrs. Cui looked at Mrs. Hou who was leaving in a hurry, and she was so annoyed, "Look at her, it seems like there is a ghost here, I am so angry!"

Mother Qiao persuaded: "My little aunt might really have something to do..."

Mrs. Cui interrupted Madam Qiao with a sullen face, "What can happen to her? Do you really believe that there is something wrong in her house?

The old man didn't want to see her as a wimp, a wimp who couldn't decide what to say, and the old man didn't want to waste any more time with her.

She thought she could fool the old man with a few words?snort! "

Old Mrs. Cui looked at the door where Mrs. Hou could no longer be seen in disgust, and leaned back.

Mother Qiao flattered: "Yes, the old lady has a clear mind. How can my little aunt's tricks escape the old lady's eyes?"

Mrs. Cui stretched out her hand, and Mother Qiao handed the teacup to Mrs. Cui's hand.

Mrs. Cui took a sip of her tea, handed the teacup back to Mother Qiao, and said, "Notify the porter that the Duke is back and let him come in to report.

In addition, tell Cui Er that it is time to make a move.Let me see, if that girl is gone, what is the use of that marriage contract! "

Mother Qiao bowed her body in response, "Yes, this old servant understands."

On this day, Ning Wei took Hu Rui, Ruoqing, and Ruoyu to Dongshui Wharf, where they inspected the two shipments of food that had just arrived.

The wind from the river was howling, making his face hurt, Wei Yuan tightened his clothes, "Miss, the wind is strong in the river, let's go to Xingyuan to talk."

Ning Wei nodded, "Okay!"

A group of people went to Xingyuan, Wei Yuan let Ning Wei into the house.

Ning Wei stood in front of the window, looked at the carts and horses coming and going to transport grain, and asked, "Is the courtyard inside full?"

Wei Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, the back yard is full, and the front yard is also more than half full. At most, we can pile up ten more boats."

Ning Wei nodded, "Next, let's open a few branch offices in the east, north, and south of the city, and transfer some of the food here.

Uncle Liu sent a letter, trying to bring some more grain over before the river froze. "

Wei Yuan leaned forward and said, "Okay, I will immediately order someone to look for a shop."

Ning Wei looked up at the sky, "This year is a cold winter, and it's colder than usual."

Wei Yuan then looked up at the sky, "Yes, this year's autumn is very short, and it's so cold before October."

Ning Wei remembered that this year, it snowed in mid-October, and the capital entered winter early, and in the winter months, the Shangshui River was frozen enough for pedestrians.

The long cold winter continues into next February...

"Miss, the current food price has doubled compared to last month." Wei Yuan said.

Hu Rui said: "With this increase, by the end of the year, the price of rice may be three to four times that of previous years."

Wei Yuan shook his head, "Food is related to the people's livelihood, the imperial court will not let the price of rice soar, and will try to control the price of food in the market."

Hu Rui was puzzled and asked, "Will the imperial court intervene in grain prices? How?"

Wei Yuan explained: "The imperial court's granary has reserves, and in case of natural disasters, it will open a granary to donate."
