Fortune Princess

Chapter 71 The Mother of the Family

Xiao Yichen just took a sip of the tea brought by his servants when Jing Yi appeared in front of him.Seeing her standing in front of him intact, her worry was calmed down.

"I heard that Uncle Huo carried you back from the barracks yesterday?" Xiao Yichen joked, also wanting to know what happened.

He succeeded in getting a white eye from Jing Yi: "Lao Shigui heard that the young master is very good, and it's not a problem to hit a hundred of them." He rolled up his sleeves to reveal his white and slender arms, arched them, and gave Xiao Yichen a small show. a bit.

Dazzling white dazzled Xiao Yichen's eyes, he was in a daze for a moment, Jing Yi was so thin, where did he get so much strength?

"Xiao Yichen? Shall we go see Xiao Jin today?" Seeing Xiao Yichen distracted, Jing Yi stuck up and looked at him.

Well, the skin is really good, the eyelashes are really long, and the nose is also tall. It's not as good as myself, but it's still considered the best.

"What?" When he came back to his senses, seeing Jing Yi's handsome face was very close to him, he subconsciously leaned back, if it wasn't for the back of the chair to block him, he might have made a fool of himself.

"I said go and see Xiao Jin." This man came to her to find her just to be in a daze, right?
Xiao Yichen laughed: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something good. If you're passed out, you should make up for it."

"It's still interesting enough for you." After hammering Xiao Yichen once, looking at his bent waist, Jing Yi's eyebrows and eyes were curved with a smile.

The two left the Hou's mansion together, went to the most famous Drunk Fairy in the capital, asked for a private room, and ordered their most expensive table noodles.Looking at the delicious food on the table, Jing Yi twitched his index finger, and even drank a lot of Zuixian Niang.

Pointing at Xiao Yichen, he smiled and said, "Today I know what beauty is, cheers!" He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Xiao Yichen also laughed. He knew that he was not bad in appearance, but he was far less handsome than Jing Yi.Although Jing Yi looked fine now, he was still vaguely uneasy.

It's fun to eat, drink and have fun here, but Huo Ting, who just came down to court in the Hou's mansion, was pacing back and forth in the room.What happened at the last night banquet made him wary of Aunt Mei. Naturally, this kind of duplicitous person can no longer be his housekeeper. He has already taken back the right of housekeeper.

Looking at a large bunch of keys and ledgers on the table, there are warehouses, and there are servants' deeds. They should belong to Qingyu, but Qingyu obviously doesn't want to join in. If it wasn't for Jingyi, I'm afraid they would have been with Qingyu long ago. The Hou Mansion has drawn a clear line.

"Where is Madam?" Liu Ben asked, and Huo Ting became concerned.

"Go back to the lord, Madam is eating alone in the bamboo garden. His Royal Highness came to find the young master this morning, and went out together."

Huo Ting raised his eyebrows, Xiao Yichen got along well with Jing Yi, and in the future...

Forget it, he has no time to take care of the younger generation's affairs, let's deal with Qingyu first.

"Is the food I asked the kitchen to prepare in advance?" Huo Ting asked.

"Yes, master. Madam's favorite roasted chicken with chestnuts has been simmered in the pot." Liu Ben was also very surprised when he thought that Master Hou would ask the cook to order the food when he was not in court. Master Hou was not delicious at all. It's the first time I've been so active, I didn't expect it to be for my wife.I can't help but lament the tenderness of a tough guy, and only my wife can enjoy such treatment from Master Hou.

Huo Ting nodded in satisfaction, and told Liu Benna to go to Zhuyuan with him.

Jing Yi was not there, Fu Qingyu simply made two small dishes and ate them. Huo Ting strode across the small courtyard, opened the door and appeared in front of him.

"Qingyu, how can I eat alone? I'll accompany you, and I also brought your favorite chestnut roast chicken." Signaling Liu Ben to put the dishes on the table, Huo Ting automatically sat opposite Fu Qingyu.

Liu Ben stepped back and closed the door for his master.

Looking at the steaming chestnut roast chicken, Fu Qingyu coughed lightly. Jing Yi likes taro roast chicken, so every time he makes it according to Jing Yi's taste. After giving birth to Jing Yi, he seldom made food, but this person still remembered.

The guests and host enjoyed a meal, Huo Ting talked less and did more as much as possible, serving dishes and soup, showing great hospitality.

After eating, Huo Ting still refused to leave, Fu Qingyu gave him a sideways glance: "Is there something wrong? The Marquis doesn't deal with official business during the daytime, so it's not appropriate to spend time here."

Huo Ting almost choked to death with a single sentence, and hurriedly said: "how come, of course I have something to tell you. You can also see that Aunt Mei is not a good person. If I were alone before, it doesn't matter if she was playing tricks secretly, but now it's different Now, with you and Jing Yi in the mansion, how can I let that kind of woman continue to be the housekeeper."

Taking out the bunch of housekeeper keys from the box left by Liu Ben, Huo Ting said righteously: "So, you should be in charge of this bunch of keys. You are my wife, Huo Ting, who is carrying a sedan chair and the media is marrying. Everything depends on what you say."

With sincere and sincere eyes, Huo Ting was calm and composed, but his heart was beating drums, fearing that Fu Qingyu would not agree.

Sure enough, Fu Qingyu just took a look, then looked away: "I don't care about your crap."

The answer was expected, Huo Ting was frustrated but he didn't give up. If he can't be soft, he won't be tough?

"It's up to you. Put the key here. If you don't care, let them mess around! There's still something to do in court, so I'll go first!" Before Fu Qingyu could say anything else, Huo Ting got up and rushed out. Fast, no less than Jing Yi.

"You!" Fu Qingyu was angry, this person not only croaked but also learned to play tricks?
Looking at the disappearing figure, and looking at the bunch of keys on the table, Fu Qingyu sighed, it was like brown sugar, and he couldn't hide it.

Forget it, anyway, for a maximum of ten days, she would help him sort out the affairs of the Marquis of Shun, and she would pay him back for donating blood to Jing Yi, since she would not owe him anything.

Seeing that in a few days it will be the day when the servants will distribute the monthly silver. In the past, Aunt Mei's Cuifeng Pavilion was very lively. How many servants came and went to curry favor, of course Huo Ting didn't know, but Aunt Mei knew it well. .

The last time Lord Hou took away the power of housekeeper from her, it was self-evident who he would give it to.As a result, Aunt Mei's prestige in the mansion is not as good as before, but fortunately, she rewards her generously on weekdays, and there are still many servants who are waiting and watching, and they do not bow down.

If the village woman can't eat this piece of fat, there will be a good show, which is why she pretends to beg a few times and let it go, she wants to see what that woman is capable of.

"Xiu Ling, tell the people below to recognize the direction of the wind. It doesn't matter if a village woman is a wife. If she doesn't understand anything, she will only embarrass Lord Hou. If there is any servant who dares to help her, let him get out of the house." house." Looking at the freshly dyed Kou Dan, Aunt Mei was lying on her side on the beauty couch, enchanting and charming.

"Yes, don't worry, this servant will definitely keep a close eye on them." Xiuling respectfully responded, "Aside from other things, the servants are always a bit tricky about the monthly payment. We'll just wait and see that that one gets burned."
