Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 127
Rongguo Mansion,
Inside Rongxi Hall,

The second wife, Mrs. Wang, sat in the Buddhist hall, looked at Butler Lai at a loss and sneered,
"You really think it's a misunderstanding. It's the unlucky reason for Luo Yunhou to come to Jia's house. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get someone this time."

Lai Da stood there anxiously, sweating profusely, but he had to save someone, so he continued to ask cautiously,
"Second Wife, what should I do? Now there is an uproar outside Jia's mansion. It's good for the mansion to say that it won't be able to hide it until tomorrow or for a long time. By then, Master and the others will know."

The second wife also opened her eyes when she heard Butler Lai mentioned the master, and said angrily,

"Why, you still use the master to suppress me. Besides, at that time, you swore that nothing would happen, and now you panic when something happens."

Lai Da couldn't believe that the second wife could talk like this. You didn't make this happen by yourself, and the big benefit lies with you.

But he didn't dare to make a sound, he could only stand there silently, looking at Mrs. Wang beggingly, hoping that Mrs. Wang would show mercy.

"Okay, I still need to let Luo Yunhou vent his anger on this matter. After he moves to the residence, I will come to talk to his mother about the old days."

"But ma'am, Qian Hua doesn't know if he can hold on. It looks like he was beaten badly. I'm afraid."

Mrs. Wang's complexion was a bit ugly, she said it so clearly, it's really useless to keep rambling here;
"I won't die. Marquis Luo Yun is not an idiot either. In the capital, how could there be so many family members in the house who died by him. As for suffering some flesh and blood, it's a big deal."

Mrs. Wang saw that Lai Da still wanted to say something, so she interrupted,

"Okay, this is the end of this matter, I am also tired, let's go down."

Following the cold voice of the second wife Mrs. Wang, Lai Da felt helpless seeing this, and could only leave resentfully.

Mrs. Wang really didn't take this matter to herself, and the servants couldn't figure it out. Besides, Luo Yunhou didn't know what he was thinking, so he went to the palace to talk to his niece Wang Shuyi sometime.

Besides, this matter is a trivial matter, the big thing is whether the Wang family and the Zhang family can get together, and my elder brother didn't send a letter, whether to talk about the relationship or not, or whether the elder brother Wang Ziteng has other ideas.

Mrs. Wang really couldn't figure out what to do, so she got up and went to the yard for a stroll. She suddenly thought of Baoyu, and she didn't know if Baoyu was better now, so she called the maid Caiyun, and Caifeng and Caixia went to the Bisha cabinet.

And Jia Baoyu pretended to be sick because he didn't want to go to the family study in the mansion, it was really boring, and the old master Jia Dairu was also slurred, and he didn't know what to say, but the maid in his yard was better. Yue and the others were mending clothes there, but they ignored it, and thought about what else they hadn't done.

At this time, there was a noise outside the yard. It turned out that Jia Huan, the son of Aunt Zhao, was stealing something in her yard again, and was caught by the servant on the spot.

Jia Baoyu went out a little annoyed, saw Mingyan who was not forgiving, and said;

"Okay, don't talk about it there, Brother Huan won't do it next time, take your things back."

Jia Huan said happily,
"Thank you, brother."

Just ran away.

Luoyunhou Mansion in the east of the city,

Hou Fuping's wife, Yang Hanyu, besides asking Huo'er to arrange her own people, also often pays attention to when Luo Yunhou will come back. Unexpectedly, Huo'er, who didn't want to go out to arrange people, came back early, and ran in in a panic as soon as he entered the door ,
"Ma'am, it's not good, it's not good."

"What's wrong, didn't people arrange it?"

"That's already arranged. The Zhuangzi outside is big enough to live in. There are a few bosses in the restaurant who are shopkeepers. They said they would go and have a look today. They will open within a few days if there are enough people."

Yang Hanyu didn't expect these people to be so good at Taoism, it's okay,

"Isn't this very good, what happened again?"

"Oh, Madam blames you for interrupting. Huo'er is not talking about this matter, but Luo Yunhou. The Marquis is back and camping outside the east city."

"Who!"

When Yang Hanyu first heard that Lord Hou had returned, he asked in a voiceless voice.

"Master Hou, it's Lord Hou who is back, and there seems to be a family carriage, what should Madam do?"

"You go and ask Ming'er to take the keys to the storehouse, the title deed, and the seal of the Marquis Mansion, whatever you can, and prepare the carriage to go out of the city immediately to meet him."

Huo'er was a little confused as to why he took these things.
"Ma'am, why are you in such a hurry, what are you doing with those things?"

"You dead girl, hurry up and do it."

"It's Madam, come here soon."

Huo'er hurried to ask Ming'er to prepare the carriage and wait, Yang Hanyu looked at Huo'er's back and said in a low voice,
"Damn girl, whether you can stay this time depends on tonight's."

Yang Hanyu got up and went back to the dormitory, changing into a conservative cotton dress, skirt and jacket, which wrapped her graceful body, and put on a black cloak with a hood over her face, covering her beautiful face once she put it on.

Soon, Yang Hanyu brought Ming'er, Huo'er, and Yang Bing, who was temporarily acting as a female guard, to drive the car.

"drive,"

With a clear sound of driving, the carriage moved slowly. Yang Hanyu wrapped the cloak around her body. It was getting colder and colder. The old lady must be the family member of Lord Hou. I don’t know if it’s okay. Getting along, the more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel.

Gradually, the carriage quickly departed from the Hou Mansion and disappeared at the end of the road.

outside the city,

Luo Yunhou's camp,

At this time, Zhang Jinyu had already finished washing up briefly, and now she was sitting in the big tent eating with her mother, Mrs. Wang, and her two daughters. The food was also the most famous restaurant in the east of the capital, and the chef of Zuixianlou personally made his specialty dishes.

Mrs. Wang also knows that when she first came to the capital, there are many trivial matters, and everything is complicated, so she must not be careless.

"It seems that a lot of things happened today, how are you handling it, what does the palace say?"

Zhang Jinyu swallowed the food in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and simply told about today's meeting with the Holy Majesty in the palace, and also told the meaning of the Queen Mother and Queen. When I saw the Queen Mother by mistake, I asked,

"Did the Empress Dowager ever ask about your marriage?"

"How does mother know?"

Zhang Jinyu couldn't help complaining, it can't be a woman's nature, so she likes to be a matchmaker, Wang's face really looks like this.

"Isn't that obvious? Your ordinary wife was arranged by the old concubine. She is from the Zhen family. You said that the queen mother has no idea. From what you said, I think it's the queen."

"how do I say this?"

Wang Shihan also tapped Zhang Jinyu's forehead to ask him to think about it carefully. The emperor has had nothing to do since he succeeded to the throne. Only the prince and the queen gave birth to three princes. Now that there are more and more concubines in the harem, how can the queen not have herself? Even if you don't have the idea, you still have to arrange a way out for the three princes.

Hearing her mother Wang's explanation, Zhang Jinyu also understood what she expressed in Juxian Tower today, pity the loving mothers in the world.

"By the way, mother, this is the waist card given by the queen, and you can use it to enter and leave the harem."

Zhang Jinyu took out a bronzing token from his arms and handed it to Wang Shi, who took it and fumbled it in his hand, then put it away.

"Well, I might as well wait until I settle down and find a chance to go to the palace to meet the queen, and see what she means."

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the camp.

"Report, Lord Hou, a carriage has come from outside Daying, and it is said that people from the Hou Mansion have come."

Just when Zhang Jinyu was still feeling a little emotional, he heard the report of the guards outside the tent,
"Who, from the Hou Mansion?"

"Yes, Lord Hou, the person who came here should be a woman."

Zhang Jinyu didn't understand for a while, who else followed.But Mrs. Wang heard the meaning and reminded,

"He should be talking about the royal palace in the capital, and it should be your rewarding wife."

Zhang Jinyu immediately thought of a person named Yang Hanyu, this is not an easy person.

"Let's go, bring it here."

"It's Lord Hou."

The guards outside the camp left.

Yang Hanyu didn't get off the carriage. After waiting for a while at the gate of the camp, the guards who came led the carriage and drove towards the tent.

Yang Hanyu asked uncertainly,
"Is it almost to Lord Hou's place?"

"Go back, girl, I'll be there soon."

The guard who led the way replied respectfully, Ming'er in the carriage was unwilling,
"What girl? It's Madam. This is Lord Hou's equal wife."

The guard was obviously taken aback, and hurriedly changed his words,

"It's Madam, we're here."

"It's okay, don't worry."

Yang Hanyu just confirmed it, and didn't mean to blame, so he pulled Ming'er in the carriage to make her calm down.

When they reached the gate of the camp, the guard knocked off the carriage,
"Ma'am, we are here, we need to go ahead."

Yang Hanyu took a deep breath, and led the two girls out of the carriage. The wind was a bit strong, so she couldn't help wrapping the cloak around her body, and walked forward with the support of Ming'er and Huo'er. The guards just took a glance and hurried Bow your head and lead the way.

"Report, Lord Hou, people have arrived."

"Let her in."

"It's Lord Hou."

The guard came back and said respectfully,

"Ma'am, you can go in."

"it is good."

Yang Hanyu stepped forward, not at all like the weak woman who looked just now.

When they arrived at the tent door, Huo'er and Ming'er honestly opened the door cloth of the tent and went in together.

Zhang Jinyu did not expect too much. After all, they were inserted by the big nephew, and it is enough for everyone to be safe. They are not polite there and continue to eat and drink. The Wang family and the second daughter are different. At the entrance of the tent.

I saw the camp tent opened, and a stunning beauty wearing a black cloak with a hood stepped in, with fair skin, and a somewhat exotic and exquisite military officer, which also made everyone in the tent lose their minds.

Yang Hanyu saw that there were only four people here, and only one woman was sitting in the main seat. She must be the biological mother of Lord Hou. Yang Hanyu immediately led the two maids to kneel down to pay respects.

"Daughter-in-law Yang Hanyu has seen her mother and Lord Hou, and her mother Wan'an."

Wang came back to his senses, clapped his hands,
"Well, it's considered polite, take off the hood and raise your head, let me have a look."

Yang Hanyu flipped the hood back generously, showing his face and facing it calmly. Zhang Jinyu was also secretly dumbfounded when he saw it, good guy, this old concubine in the palace has lost all her money.
