Chapter 430 Master Hou's Awakening

It was getting late soon, Madam Hou kept the door behind Master Hou's order.As the day was getting closer to three o'clock, Mrs. Hou saw that Master Hou hadn't come back yet, so she sent the maids to sleep, leaving Shanxi alone to wait on her.

She didn't dare to sleep first, so she took out the account book and looked at it carefully.When Hou Ye staggered in, he saw her sitting under the lamp in plain clothes, all the jewelry from her hair was taken off, and she was draped straight behind her.

"Master Hou is back." Shanxi hurried over to help, Madam Hou raised her head and put down the account book in her hand.

Seeing that Master Hou seemed to have drunk a lot, she softly ordered Shanxi to get the hangover soup, and helped him to sit on the bed.

Shanxi brought over the hangover soup, she took it and served Lord Hou to drink it, and then ordered Shanxi to fetch hot water.

Ding Bohou remained silent, watching her busy in the room, wringing out the towel in the hot water to wipe his face.

Shanxi squatted down and took off his shoes, washed his feet and dried them with a clean towel, and stepped forward to help him take off his coat.

"Go down." He opened his mouth suddenly and said.

Shanxi responded, and stepped back with the footbath in hand.Seeing this, Mrs. Hou hurriedly stepped forward to take off his coat and uncovered the quilt.

"Master Hou, you drank a lot of wine, it's better to lie down." She said softly when she saw Master Hou not moving.

"Ma'am, how long have we been married?" Lord Hou asked suddenly.

She was startled when she heard that, and remembered that day 24 years ago.She is still a 14-year-old girl, although she hears her mother's words about how to marry and obey her husband, how to honor her parents-in-law and respect her husband, but she is so happy in her heart, and there is a trace of expectation in her anxiety.

I look forward to my husband being a gentleman, preferably handsome, unrestrained, gentle and considerate; I look forward to my in-laws and treat her like a daughter;On the wedding night in the bridal chamber, she was not disappointed when she saw Ding Bohou for the first time.Although he didn't talk much, his eyes were gentle, and when he looked at himself, there were occasional flashes of light.Although she didn't know what that meant, she was inexplicably nervous and her heart beat faster.

Thinking of herself at that time, Madam Hou's wry smile flickered away. At the age of 14, he grew up carefree at home, and only after marrying into the Hou's mansion did he gradually understand what is sinister and what is difficult.

Although the husband is gentle, there is a kind of indifference and alienation in his bones, and the mother-in-law is shrewd and hopes to train her to be a qualified wife.

Less than a year after she married, this aunt entered the mansion one after another.The first child gave birth to a daughter, and although the mother-in-law was silent, she revealed some dissatisfaction secretly.She became more and more cautious and tried her best to be the mistress.She laughed until her face stiffened in front of her mother-in-law, never complained to her husband, and showed the dignity and generosity of the mistress in front of her aunt.

Gradually, the mother-in-law accepted and fell in love with her, and slowly handed over the affairs of the house to her.But the two younger uncles got married one after another, and the population in the mansion increased, so things became more and more complicated.She didn't dare to make a wrong step, and acted more carefully, not allowing herself to make mistakes.At the same time, she also discovered that it is right to be kind to people, but to some people it is only good to be kind.Gradually, she had the means to keep the inner courtyard in order.

Later, her daughter entered the palace for a draft and became a concubine, and her position in the Hou Mansion was finally indestructible.But along the way, what she has gained and what she has lost, only she knows in her heart.

Seeing her erratic eyes, Ding Bohou remained silent for a while, got on the bed with one leg on his side, got into the quilt and lay down with his back facing her.

Madam Hou was taken aback when she saw this, she turned off the lamp in front of the bed and went to bed.She couldn't fall asleep, turned over carefully, and didn't know how long she tossed and fell asleep.

But she didn't know that after she fell asleep, Ding Bohou started tossing back and forth like making pancakes.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Hou woke up.Because Lord Hou who was lying on the inside turned over, the habit she had developed over the years made her immediately notice that it was time to get up before Lord Hou at dawn.

She gently lifted the quilt and got off the bed, glanced at Hou Ye who was still lying with his eyes closed, and then at the clock in the corner of the room.

A quarter of an hour later, it was just right to wake him up, and Mrs. Hou entered the clean room lightly.Because the washing equipment invented by Yixuan was installed inside, and it's only autumn now, the water in the hot water bottle is still very hot, so she didn't summon the girl to come in so as not to disturb Lord Hou's sleepiness.

She washed up inside, only to find that Master Hou had already woken up and even put on his clothes.

"Why didn't Lord Hou tell the girl to wait on you? The concubine didn't hear any movement inside, she was really negligent." She was startled, and hurriedly called the girl to come in.

The maids outside heard the commotion and filed in. They quickly helped Ding Bohou to wash up, without coughing at all.

Madam Hou saw his uneasy expression, remembering that last night he was drunk and didn't say anything, and that he should send all the servants away in a while, maybe something really happened.

Seeing that Master Hou had finished washing, she was just about to speak to push people away, when she heard some noisy movements outside.She frowned suddenly, who dares to be so unruly in Bianyan Pavilion?

"Reporting to the master and wife, the girl in front of Aunt Zhang came to report, saying that Aunt Zhang suddenly felt unwell last night, because it was too late to disturb the rest of the master and wife, unexpectedly she passed out just now." A little girl came in outside back.

Mrs. Hou was startled when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "May I ask Doctor Wang to go over?"

"Young girl is busy coming here to report to my wife, and I haven't had time to come over to invite you." The girl who is responsible is the second-class girl in front of Mrs. Hou, and she is also a clever master.It was she who stopped the little girl outside to report back just now, so she naturally asked clearly.

"You're still talking about these useless rules at this time, hurry up and invite Doctor Wang!" Mrs. Hou raised her leg and took two steps towards the door. She seemed to think of something, and hurriedly stopped and turned her head, "Master Hou, go and have a look."

Hou Ye stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back, followed by her.Aunt Zhang lived in the West Wing Room in the backyard. She was originally a second-class girl in front of the old matriarch, but later the old matriarch came to reward her.

She was born in a family, and she has only been an aunt for seven or eight years, but she has been in the mansion for more than 20 years and is considered an old man.Besides, it was rewarded by the old lady, so it is naturally a bit more respectable than others.It's just that she has never had a child, and she is not as beautiful and charming as Aunt Zhao, so she is in the heart of Lord Hou.Mrs. Hou was not embarrassed, but no one dared to bully her.

When Master Hou and Mrs. Hou arrived, they saw Aunt Zhao in the room, and the concern and worry on her face seemed to be really sisterly.

Mrs. Hou immediately understood a little bit, she said why the people in front of Aunt Zhang suddenly lost the rules.Knowing that Master Hou was staying in his own room, but early in the morning when he found out that his master had passed out, instead of calling for a doctor, he went to the upper room to make noise.It seems that during this period of time, she has been pretending to be a fool to make the aunts move their minds, and the competition for favor has become more and more fierce.
