The pet career of Shaoqing of Dali Temple

Chapter 170 Is the life of the Hou Mansion unresolved?

After dealing with the affairs of Shifang Town, Qing Moyan took Ru Xiaonan away, preparing to return to the capital.

Cai Yiming came here specially to see them off, and he also gave Ru Xiaonan a lot of things before leaving, but this time he learned his lesson and did not give the things to Ru Xiaonan, but directly sent them to Qing Moyan.

Qing Moyan didn't refuse, and accepted it directly.

But what surprised everyone the most was that outside the town, they met Shi Datian who was blocking the car. up.

With a dark face, Xuanyu took Shi Datian off the wheel like a dead dog, and threw him into the grass by the roadside.

Ru Xiaonan whispered to Qing Moyan in the car for a while, and finally Qing Moyan nodded, agreeing to let Shi Datian follow.

Shi Datianle couldn't even close his mouth, Xuanyu and others seemed to feel the invisible cloud pressing down on their heads.

On the way back to the capital, it was destined that their ears could no longer be quiet.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and when she returned to the capital, Ru Xiaonan was already wearing a jacket, and there was a charcoal stove in the carriage. Her face was flushed, and she was wearing a jacket with red brocade embroidery. The New Year's baby, no matter how you look at it, how pleasing it is.

It was already evening when we returned to Hou Mansion.

Qing Moyan just got out of the carriage, turned around to pick up Ru Xiaonan, when the housekeeper appeared out of nowhere.

"Master Hou prepared dinner in the upper courtyard. I heard that the son is coming back, and he is waiting for you."

Ru Xiaonan got out of the carriage and looked at Qing Moyan.

For her who had just returned home, this was really disappointing news.

I thought I could take a good hot bath and rest comfortably when I came back, but I didn't expect to go to the old Hou Ye for some dinner.

Looking at his old face, it is really unappetizing.

"Then we can only settle down first." Ru Xiaonan muttered.

Qing Moyan coldly ordered the others to go back to the yard first, leaving Xuanyu alone, and took Ru Xiaonan to the front yard.

Front yard, small hall.

The Second Young Master and his concubine, Nian Shi, had arrived early, and Nian Shi was pouring tea with his head bowed.

Old Hou Ye was talking to the second young master, and the second young master bowed and nodded respectfully from time to time.

Qing Moyan walked in with Ru Xiaonan, and all the voices in the small hall stopped abruptly.

Nian raised his head and looked towards the door.

Seeing Qing Moyan come in in a busy manner, holding a porcelain doll with flushed cheeks in his hand.

That little monster... actually grew up a bit.

Clenching the teapot tightly in his hands, Nian tried his best to suppress the sourness in his heart.

She couldn't understand, what's so good about this monster, why Shaoqing protects her like this, isn't he afraid that one day she will eat him?
"Moyan is here, let's serve." Old Hou Ye coughed and ordered the stewards around him.

Ru Xiaonan was a little surprised. It's rare that the old Hou Ye didn't take the initiative to provoke trouble. Is this the sun coming out from the west?

She turned her head to look out the window, Qing Moyan showed that she also understood her intentions, and smiled slightly.

Seeing the pair of Bi people opposite each other with a tacit understanding and a smile, Nian deliberately placed the teapot heavily on the table.

There was a sound of "dong", Qing Moyan didn't respond at all, instead the second young master was startled.

He shouted angrily: "Are you blind? Brother has already sat down, why don't you pour tea?"

Nian bit his lip, it's only been a month, and the second young master has changed from a tender and affectionate young man to a bitter and mean playboy.

Although he was once obsessed with her body, he was soon troubled by the pressure from his father. The most he said every day when he saw her was to let her use her dowry to supplement him and let him find a good man. Errand, seek a good future.

The middle prize of the Hou Mansion finally fell into her hands as she wished, but it was not what she expected at all.

The princes in the Hou's mansion are pitiful, and they can only rely on her father-in-law's salary, and her father-in-law is extremely stingy, and there is not even a concubine wife in the back house, only two maids, who are still ordinary girls Monthly example given.

The second young master has no errands, and the monthly money is in his hands, but not in, and the monthly allowance is in his hands within ten days, and it hurts that she sometimes has to pay for it herself when she wants to buy something, so she absolutely does not Will use the dowry to supplement him.

Now that the second young master scolded her in front of everyone, she wanted to smash him on the head with the teapot in her hand.

It was because she was blind at the beginning and thought that the Hou's Mansion was a luscious place, but she didn't expect her life to be worse than that of a concubine in an ordinary merchant's house.

"You don't need to pour tea." Qing Moyan said lightly, "We only drank it when we came here."

Old Hou Ye glanced at Nian, with obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The maids came over to serve the dishes one after another, and Ru Xiaonan couldn't help being stunned when she saw the dishes on the table.

Such dishes are simply worse than what they ate on the road.

Qing Moyan has never done her any harm when it comes to food, and she also follows her wishes, but even so, the food in the Hou Mansion shouldn't be so bad.

She remembered that when she ate here last time, most of the food was meat. Today, they all turned into rabbits eating grass. Is this the rhythm of becoming a monk?
Qing Moyan also saw the dishes on the table, and squeezed her little hand calmly.

Ru Xiaonan looked up at him.

Qing Moyan whispered: "Hold on for a while, I have already sent someone to Baiyulou to order food, and I will let you have a full meal when I get back."

Ru Xiaonan couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

Standing behind the second young master, Nian Shi saw this scene, as if his eyes had been stabbed, and it hurt.

She and the second young master were always trembling in front of the old Hou Ye, but Qing Moyan didn't care, even that little monster became fearless.

Feeling sullen in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she deliberately said: "What is Shizi talking to Miss Ru, so happy?"

Qing Moyan didn't answer, but Ru Xiaonan was grinning, "Qing Moyan ordered the meal at Baiyulou, and I haven't had dim sum there for a long time."

As soon as this remark came out, even the old Hou Ye's expression darkened.

"It's fine to eat here, and what food to order at Baiyulou, are you afraid of being too extravagant and let those talkative officials know and impeach you?"

"It's just a few dishes, and I didn't eat gold leaf to drink fine wine, I'm afraid the officials can't control me." Qing Moyan said disdainfully, "My little girl is growing up, so I can't eat some vegetables every day , but I have only been away from the mansion for more than a month, I never thought that the life in the mansion is almost unresolved."

Both Nianshi and the second young master lowered their heads, their faces full of shame, the muscles around the old master's cheeks twitched wildly, as if he would jump up in anger at any moment.

Ru Xiaonan counted silently, thinking that the other party would lose her temper soon, and then they could find an opportunity to go back, but the old Hou Ye unexpectedly held back his anger.

Even Qing Moyan felt something strange and turned to look at his father.

"I heard that there was a case in the palace recently." The old Hou Ye cleared his throat and said, "The fourth prince was ordered to go to the border to replace the second prince as the commander of the army. Before leaving the palace, the queen mother specially took his son into the palace. He said that he wanted the emperor to be close to the emperor's grandson, who would have thought that this emperor's grandson was plotted against in the palace and was almost poisoned to death, the emperor was furious and ordered people to investigate the case thoroughly."

Old Hou Ye took a look at his second son, and continued to say to Qing Moyan: "You find a way to get your second brother into the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and let him hang around for a while, and sooner or later you will enter the palace to take over the case. Bring him to show up when handling the case, and when the case is solved, he will naturally be promoted."

The old Hou Ye finished speaking in a tone of "that's how it's settled", Ru Xiaonan only had one thought left in her mind: Old Hou Ye, can you be more shameless?
