Daughter of Hou's Mansion

In the backyard of the Daxiang Temple, after dismissing the nobles who came to ask for orders, Master Yunxiang wandered into his room.

Fu Hongye sat on the futon by the window, squinting slightly as if enjoying the rare sunshine in winter.

Master Yun Xiang clicked his tongue, and said with emotion: "When did Hongye Villa become so idle, don't you, the owner, need to deal with the estate's affairs?"

Hearing this, Fu Hongye opened his eyes, and the pupils against the silver mask became more and more black as ink. He glanced at Master Yunxiang, and then asked in a dull voice, "Is it true that you can't see through her horoscope?"

Master Yun Xiang was amused, and digging his own ear in a very vague manner, he said in a seemingly incomprehensible way: "Her? I don't know who Master Fu is referring to?"

Fu Hongye raised her eyebrows slightly, and said to the shadow guard hiding in the dark: "Tell Situ to keep those two cans of top-quality Dahongpao, so there is no need to send them over."

Master Yun Xiang jumped anxiously, "The majestic owner of Hongye Mountain Villa is not trustworthy. If this gets out, he will be ridiculed by his colleagues in the world." Seeing that Fu Hongye was sitting quietly, he didn't care He took his words to heart, and Master Yunxiang's face was full of joy and sorrow, hey, I always bowed down for that sip of tea, that little bastard Fu Hongye really held his lifeline, Amitabha, Buddha forgive me , And made a bad mouth again, that kid Fu Hongye is really hateful.

Master Yun Xiang walked slowly to the futon in front of Fu Hongye and sat down, and said with a resentful expression: "The little girl is only 12 years old, and she is the only daughter of the Weiyuan Marquis, you don't even look at her brother That baby's strength, I'm afraid your name as the owner of Hongye Mountain Villa is not enough."

Fu Hongye's eyes were slightly cold, and he only snorted coldly, full of warning.

Master Yun Xiang waved his hand and said: "Okay, to tell you the truth, I really can't see through the natal chart of the little girl from the Wei family. Her face seems to show signs of early death, but that little mole But it changed the whole situation, so I don't think the Wei family girl might have some adventures."

Fu Hongye's pupils shrank slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Master Yunxiang raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea. Although it is not the top grade Dahongpao, this year's new oolong has a special flavor.

***************

On the second day after returning from Yunxiang Temple, Wei Che went to the old house of the Wei family, where almost the entire family of the Wei family lived, and the old patriarch of the Wei family also lived there.

Speaking of which, the most prominent lineage of the Wei family is the residence of the Marquis of Weiyuan. The Marquis of Weiyuan is an official in the court, so he is naturally unable to take care of the family affairs. Therefore, the position of the head of the Wei family is often held by a highly respected old man in the clan. However, because Wei Che The special status of the family also has a lot of status in the countryside.

The sound of the phase.Both of Wei Xin'er's parents died, so it is believed that the matter of adoptive daughter must be informed to the old patriarch of the Wei family before it can be carried out.

On the other hand, Rongshou Hall.

The moment the old lady opened her mouth to announce that she would accept Wei Xiner, the adoptive daughter, for Wei Yanqing, the room immediately exploded.

Mrs. Li even forgot to lower her voice, and yelled straight at the old lady: "Why do you choose a righteous daughter for your elder brother and sister-in-law? She is an orphan without father and mother. It has been three years since she was taken care of by the Marquis of Weiyuan." She was lucky enough to be born, so why did she become the young lady of the Marquis of Weiyuan?"

Li's heart is of course a thousand or ten thousand dissatisfaction. The righteous daughter is not recognized casually. You must know that Wei Xin'er's family has long since disappeared. If she recognizes this title, she will live in Weiyuanhou It is a matter of course that Weiyuan Houfu will prepare a dowry for her even when she gets married in the future.

Mrs. Li didn't like Wei Xin'er who was playing the autumn wind at first, and she was able to tolerate her because of the old lady's face, but now the old lady actually said that she would adopt a adopted daughter for the late Weiyuan Houfu couple. She is a stepmother , I really think that I am the old lord of Weiyuanhoufu.

Although Wei Yanhuai didn't react as strongly as Li Shi, but he also disapproved, stood up and said: "Old lady, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have been gone for so many years, why bother them to be uneasy underground, Wei Xiner Now that we have lived in the Weiyuanhou Mansion, the cost of food and clothing is the same as that of Yu'er and the others. I think our Weiyuanhou Mansion has exhausted its benevolence, so let's let it go. I might not agree to it while I was alive, and when my father was alive, the most important thing was the bloodline, so it doesn't seem like a big deal."

Wei Yanhuai moved out Wei Yanqing and his wife, and what he said revealed that the old lady insisted on going her own way, disregarding the wishes of the late Wei Yanqing and his wife, and why should the old lady, as a stepmother, be the master.

Wei Qingyu and Wei Qingyuan's eye knives were scraped at Wei Xiner's body together, and Wei Qingluan was already pressing on their heads. If Wei Xiner really became the adopted daughter of the uncle and aunt, this identity is natural With the rise of the tide, he is obviously a bumpkin from the countryside, how can He De enjoy such treatment.

The fierce opposition from the second room of Wei's family had long been expected by Qin. Even though Wei Yanhuai and his wife said that they had ulterior motives, the old lady didn't have a trace of anger on her face, she just calmly looked at Wei who was talking a lot of reason Yanhuai, Wei Yanhuai's gaze paused for a look that seemed to be looking at a clown, and the words that filled his stomach were directly blocked in his throat.

To be honest, he really didn't take this little stepmother seriously. It's not easy for a widowed woman without any biological children.After bringing her back from the countryside, she has been sticking to her duties, hiding in the Rongshou Hall and not coming out easily. Who would have thought that after Wei Che came back, the Qin family seemed to be a different person, and even the methods were tough. After getting up, he did not hesitate to use his mother's name to suppress Li Shi and him, which made Wei Yanhuai very angry.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li quickly turned her gaze to Wei Qingluan, "Luaner, you won't agree to this, right? Your father and mother only gave birth to Che'er and you. As the saying goes, the dragon begets the dragon, and the phoenix Shengfeng, the mouse's son can make holes, you Che'er has a noble status, how can you allow those bumpkins who come out of nowhere to occupy the position, and Wei Xin'er is older than you, if you are serious Let it go, she is the elder, and you are the youngest, this status is quite different."

What Li Shi said was extremely mean, almost to sow discord, Qingluan secretly sneered in her heart, this Li Shi probably regarded her as Wei Qingluan, who was partial to listening and believing, and looked at Wei Xiner again, seeing With her calm face, Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Sister Xin'er also knew the virtues of Erfang, so she didn't feel sad about it.

"Second aunt, grandma is the elder. Luan'er believes in grandma. My mother only gave birth to me and my elder brother. This is something that everyone in Shangjing knows, but Luan'er is also very lonely. I am very happy to have sister Xiner." Qingluan said calmly.

The fact that Wei Xin'er was about to enter the palace did not tell the second room. On the one hand, it was because the emperor just sent Wang Gonggong here without fanfare. Obviously, this matter has not reached the point of publicity, but on the other hand, it is really the group of the second room It's too shameless, who knows what kind of moths they will make when they find out that Xiner is going to enter the palace.

When Li Shi heard Wei Xin'er's words, her face darkened, this dead girl didn't know when she started getting closer to the old lady, her elbows would only turn outwards, it's really not a thing.

Wei Yanhuai turned his eyeballs slightly, his eyes skipped over the old lady, Wei Xin'er and Wei Qingluan one by one, and then asked again: "Does Che'er agree to this?"

"Brother has already gone to the clan, this matter will be reported to the old patriarch first." Qingluan said.

Wei Yanhuai's complexion suddenly became ugly. In his eyes, he and Mrs. Li are Wei Che's elders, and the old lady is just a grandmother with a real name, but Wei Che didn't even ask him. He made a decision without authorization, which made him very unhappy.

If Qingluan knew what Wei Yanhuai was thinking, he would have to sneer three times. It's really eye-opening that this person is shameless to a certain extent.

Seeing the changing expressions of the second room group, the old lady's eyes flashed a trace of sarcasm. Before the old Marquis Wei Yuan died, the first room and the second room lived together. At that time, Wei Yanhuai was also very fond of Wei Yanqing, the brother. Dear, and although Mrs. Li is not as dignified and generous as the eldest daughter-in-law, she is not like this. When did she change?This human heart is really the most unpredictable thing.

"Okay, I'm not asking for your opinions, I'm just going to tell you that it is imperative to accept Xin'er as a foster daughter." The old lady straightened her face and said firmly.

This sentence made Wei Yanhuai and Li's face turn pale, Li wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Wei Yanhuai's eyes.

"Since the old lady said so, we have nothing to say, so we will follow the old lady's opinion." He said obedient words, but his eyes were dark and dark, "The old lady should go to bed early, My son bid farewell first."

Wei Yanhuai flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and left, Li Shi hurriedly followed, but Wei Qingyu and Wei Qingyuan gave Wei Xiner and Wei Qingluan a fierce look, and then hurriedly walked towards the old lady Fuli left.

As soon as the second room left, the room became much quieter.

Wei Xin'er said: "Old lady, I've made it difficult for you."

The old lady patted her hand and said, "Silly girl, what do you call me?" Although the ceremony was not held, Qingluan had already changed her name to sister. The son has also changed her name to grandmother.

A trace of gratitude flashed in Wei Xiner's eyes. At the time when she thought she had no way out, the old lady who used to be high in her heart took her over. When she was in the countryside, the old lady even taught her herself. Now Thinking of her like this again, allowing her to have relatives, she is really satisfied.

"Grandmother." Wei Xin'er called softly.

The old lady's face was stained with a smile, "Since it's my granddaughter, these things are not difficult. When I went back to the countryside, I never thought I would come back again. Later, the second room sent someone to pick me up I also don’t want to come back, I’m used to living the life of wild cranes in the countryside, and I really don’t want to be trapped in the unpredictable environment of Shangjing.”

If it wasn't for the letter from the Qin family, she really wouldn't have returned to Beijing with the Second Household.But when she came into contact with the people of the Qin family again, she became discouraged again. It turns out that after so many years, the people of the Qin family are still so powerful, and they can do anything for power.

She even thought it was a wrong decision for her to go back to Beijing. It wasn't until she got along with Qingluan that she realized that the eldest daughter of Dafang was not living happily. She felt pity for this little girl, and unconsciously, her heart gradually turned to Dafang until Wei Che returned from the Northwest Military Camp.

This young Marquis of the Marquis of Weiyuan, who has made great military achievements at a young age, respects her very much and cares for her. When the two of them yelled "grandmother" in unison, she realized that she had been lonely all this time. My heart is not dead.

And Wei Xin'er, this girl with an uncertain future, has always been grateful since she was taken to her side. Such a kind and intelligent little girl couldn't help but think about her.

Having the three of them under her knees can be regarded as making up for her regret of not having children.

For the sake of these three children, it will be a matter of time before they confront the second-bedroom family. She didn't want to take care of it before, but now that she has taken care of it, she won't let that greedy family fall into the reputation of the Wei family.

"Luan'er, you should understand the greed of your second uncle's family. The eldest and second family members have already separated. If your second uncle's family is good, Che'er should hand over the rights in his hands when he comes back, but they don't care about it at all. There is no sign of moving out, I am afraid that I have not earned enough in these years." The old lady's words were very sharp.

No one is more aware of the selfishness and greed of Wei Yanhuai's family than Qingluan. Back then, she even sent her elder brother to die for the sake of prosperity and wealth. She wished to dig out their hearts to see if they were black.

"Grandmother, when my brother comes back, I'll tell him that the second uncle's family should also move out." Qingluan said bitterly.

"No hurry, this matter has to be planned slowly. We must first hold the truth in our hands. Your brother will enter the officialdom in the future, so you can't leave any excuses for others. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, it is your brother who took the initiative to trust Gu Yes, if your elder brother asks them to move out without any reason, someone will say that your elder brother has a cold nature and doesn't care about his relatives." The old lady said slowly.

Qingluan's thoughts turned slightly, "Is that why grandma was so rude to my second uncle's family just now?"

There was a glimmer of appreciation in the eyes of the old lady. Qingluan was right. She had never used her status as an elder to suppress the second room before, but now she did not intend to back down anymore. Anyway, she was also their mother, the second room You can only suffer, until they can't stand it anymore and do something, then the truth will be in their hands.

Mrs. Li has been in charge of the inner courtyard of the Marquis of Weiyuan in the past few years, and she is already used to being the head of the house. She is not convinced by the old lady in her heart, and she is afraid that she will not be able to bear it if she can't bear too much anger.

Thinking of this, Qingluan became more and more grateful to the old lady in her heart. Although the word "filial piety" is too big, as long as it is not too out of line, others will not say anything about the old lady, but it is hard to guarantee that no one will spread the old lady's oppression behind her back. The old lady is trying to use her reputation to clear the way for them to say bad things about the original partner.

********************

As soon as Wei Yanhuai and his wife returned to the yard, Mrs. Li began to lose her temper: "Then why is the old woman so crazy that she still wants to recognize that yellow-haired girl who came out of nowhere? She really thinks she is the old seal of Weiyuanhoufu Your Majesty."

As a man, what Wei Yanhuai hated the most was Li Shi's squeaking shrew, who only yelled every time, stupid and ugly.Wei Yanhuai glared at Li Shi, and cursed in a low voice: "Put away that shrew of yours."

Li choked, and immediately caught the disgust in Wei Yanqing's eyes. She was angry and angry. She was doing it for whom, not for this family. She worked hard to calculate this and that, but what did she get.Wei Yanhuai hadn't spent the night in her room for a long time, and every time she was lured away by the enchanting Aunt He of He Yuan. 13acv.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li was almost overwhelmed by anger, and said with a sneer, "I'm a shrew, Wei Yanhuai, if it wasn't for me, a shrew, trying to conjure up money, you have money to spend outside and have children , You hit me in the face, I'm a shrew, I've had that little tramp in Heyuan beaten to death long ago, it's like I've never met a man in my life, you've lost your soul."

Wei Yanhuai saw that Li's words became more and more disrespectful, and the anger in his heart became more and more intense. He slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Shut up."

Even Mrs. Li herself didn't understand, she should have calmly discussed with Wei Yanhuai a plan to deal with the old lady at this moment, but the two of them fought at each other when they disagreed.

"Why are you becoming angry from embarrassment? With a salary of only 100 taels a year, you still follow the example of others and set up a private room outside. You are not afraid to spread the word and become the laughing stock of others. Wei Yanhuai, let me tell you, the family tradition is not strict, spoiling concubines and destroying wives. You are going to be admitted by the censor." Li's conversation changed, and a strong sarcasm flashed across his face, "Ah, I almost forgot, you are just a small sixth-rank donated official, and the censor has no time at all. Pay no attention to a petty official like you who can't stand on the stage."

Wei Yanhuai was almost going mad with anger, and Li Shi was almost trampling on his self-esteem. Donating a sixth-rank official was the most embarrassing thing in his life.The Marquis of Weiyuan started his career by relying on military exploits, but compared to his elder brother who was a good young man, he never bothered to wield knives and guns.

Old Marquis Weiyuan has always only paid attention to Wei Yanqing who is the eldest son, but rarely asked him, the second son, and never paid attention to his teaching, which made him deeply hate the one who took away everything. A dazzling elder brother.

As long as there is Wei Yanqing, he will always be the useless Wei Yanhuai. Even in matters of marriage, he will treat each other equally. He is the legitimate son of the Wei family, and he will always be the one under pressure.

In addition to jealousy, Wei Yanhuai still has low self-esteem deep in his heart. Wei Yanqing is young and promising, he can write beautiful articles, mount a horse and protect his family, he is a good son in the mouth of the old Wei Yuanhou.But he was incapable of writing and martial arts, and he didn't even have a reputation. In the end, he had to spend money to buy an official to do it.

This deep inferiority complex had already been hidden by Wei Yanhuai, but at this moment it was unceremoniously exposed by Mrs. Li, how could he not be angry, Wei Yanhuai stood up all of a sudden, With a fierce look in his eyes, he walked towards Li Shi in a few steps, and slammed his palm at Li Shi who was still cursing endlessly.

Mrs. Li was caught off guard, and was thrown to the ground by him. A strong smell of blood immediately filled his mouth. Wei Yanhuai used all his strength in anger, half of Mrs. Li's face swelled instantly, and his mouth swelled. One of the teeth inside was loose.

"You... you hit me?" Li Shi was so shocked that she even forgot to shed tears, staring blankly at Wei Yanhuai, who was bursting with anger, and couldn't stop feeling sad in her heart.

Wei Yanhuai glared at her angrily and cursed: "Ignorant stupid woman." He left these words coldly and went to the lotus courtyard.

This woman just needs to be compared. In the past, apart from Mrs. Li, there was only Aunt Song who gave birth to Wei Qingyang. Aunt Song used to be Mrs. Li's dowry. Speaking loudly, how could such a woman arouse his pity.

On the other hand, Xia Qinghe, whenever he went to her yard, he would feel refreshed from the bottom of his heart. Only such a gentle and watery woman can be called a real woman.

Mrs. Li slumped on the ground, looking at Wei Yanhuai's relentless back, her heart suddenly twisted, how could Wei Yanhuai cross the river and demolish the bridge? Who accompanied him to suffer in that cramped house? Who worked so hard to take care of the whole house, but what about him, he even called her an ignorant and stupid woman...

"Ma'am." Wei Zi walked in tremblingly. There was such a commotion inside that she was almost terrified to hear it outside, but as Li's personal maid, she had to come in to serve her.

Wei Zi stepped forward to help Li Shi onto the couch, and poured cold water to apply to Li Shi's face, but the other people dared not say a word.

Mrs. Li "hummed" twice, her eyes flashed, but she saw a group of people passing by at the corner of the door, she immediately threw the handkerchief in her hand, and said angrily: "Which bastard is sneaking around outside. "

Wei Zi dashed out, and brought someone in after a while, but it was Xiaotao, the second-class maid beside Li Shi who was in charge of the utensils.

Xiaotao looked at Li Shi's somber face, her heart trembled, and she secretly thought that she was unlucky, why did such a thing happen to happen, didn't she come in to find a cigarette?

"Who allowed you to sneak around outside, there are no rules at all, Wei Zi, give me a slap." Li Shi wanted to slap her mouth without saying a word.

Xiao Tao hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Madam, please spare this servant, this servant has something to report."

Mrs. Li said nothing with a sullen face.Xiaotao continued to bite the bullet: "Just now the old lady sent someone to tell the madam to clean up the wisteria garden next to the second girl's yard, saying that it is for Miss Xiner to live in."

As soon as Xiaotao finished speaking, she was hit by the teacup, a gash was cut on her forehead, and blood gushed out.

"Don't smoke for me yet." Li Shi yelled at Wei Zi.

Wei Zilun raised his arm and slapped Xiaotao's face more than twenty times, and only stopped when he slapped a small face like a pig's head.

"Pull it out." Seeing the annoyance on that face, Mrs. Li hurriedly waved her hand.

Wei Zi hurriedly asked the two women to drag Xiao Tao out who had almost passed out.I secretly rejoiced that the idiot Xiaotao hit the gun, otherwise she might have suffered the crime today.

When Wei Zi entered again, Mrs. Li was drooping her eyes, and seemed to have calmed down a lot, but Wei Zi did not dare to take it lightly, and stood aside respectfully.

"The old woman actually praised a bumpkin from the country like this, Wei Zi, you give me some advice, if you don't say this, I'm afraid it will be you who are unlucky." Li Shi's eyes flashed fiercely, if not Because she was angry at Rongshoutang, she would not be so irritable, let alone quarrel with Wei Yanhuai impulsively. She hated that little tramp in Heyuan, but she also hated the gang at Rongshoutang. own people.

Wei Zi's heart trembled, and after hesitating for a while, he said: "Ma'am, you are the one who has the final say in this house, which of the servants here doesn't know the origin of Wei Xiner, so what if the old lady praises her?" In this way, the best move of the people below is to obey in the face and disobey in the dark, and this hard practice of keeping the bumpkin can't even cry."

Li looked up at Wei Zi, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "This is the end? Tsk tsk, Wei Zi, you have been following me for so many years, and you haven't learned even half of it."

Wei Zi hurriedly knelt down on the ground in a panic: "This servant is stupid, so I dare not stand shoulder to shoulder with Madam, and I hope Madam will not hesitate to teach me."

Seeing her respectful look, Li's eyes flashed with satisfaction, he beckoned to Wei Zi and said, "Come here with your ears."

Mrs. Li whispered in Wei Zi's ear, her face changed a few times, and she finally nodded to express her understanding. She always knew that the wife was not a good person, and she pushed the second girl into the water and blamed it on the third bedroom. That little fool was only because the second girl was in the way of the older girl.But now, just because she refused to accept the old lady's arrangement, she wants to destroy Miss Wei Xin'er, which is too vicious.

Even though she thought so, Wei Zi didn't dare to say anything else. As a slave, she could only obey orders.

Wei Yanhuai came out of Li's main house and went to Xia Qinghe's lotus courtyard. To put it bluntly, the lotus courtyard was just a small courtyard attached to the main courtyard, but the small courtyard was taken care of by Xia Qinghe in a poetic way. On the east side of the yard, a shelf is climbed with wisteria, underneath is a swing, and next to the swing shelf is a small round table and stools made of unpolished tree stumps. You can sit and drink a pot of tea in autumn and watch How pleasant it is to play with a pair of children.

Just as Wei Yanhuai entered the door, a pair of sons and daughters stumbled towards him, calling "Daddy" vaguely in their mouths. This pair of sons and daughters are extremely rare dragon and phoenix twins. Wei Yanhuai also likes them very much in his heart. The two are carved in pink and jade, just one glance can make people's hearts soften,

The pent-up anger that had accumulated on Li's side dissipated quite a bit. When I saw the smiling woman leaning against the door, she was gentle and gentle, just like a lotus flower out of water. This is a model of a woman.
