marry a noble wife

Chapter 431
"Is there any news about the second master?" She suddenly asked Mama Xiong.

Mother Xiong looked at Xiaoshi, Xiaoshi shook her head and said, "Ever since Second Master went out with Young Mistress, I haven't seen him."

Jiuya thought about it, Fu Yu said that Fu Changting had escaped, did he not return to the capital? "What about Lord Hou? Where hasn't he been arranged by the emperor recently?"

Mother Xiong said: "Where else can I go? Didn't you see that when you came in just now, there were officers and soldiers on duty outside the Hou's mansion? It seems that the Hou is under house arrest now."

Jiu Ya nodded, as expected, Master Hou was already suspected by the emperor, he had arranged for him to go north, but because Fu Yu was going to leave Beijing, he was pledged in the capital, in order to trap Fu Yu neck?Isn't it too insidious and self-righteous?
In Rongfu Hall, the old lady was sitting on a rattan chair, and because of the hot weather, there was a little girl playing a fan beside her.The hands of the two little girls were sore from fanning. Like this time last year, it was natural to put ice buckets in the four corners of the room to suppress the heat in the room.However, even though the hot weather came early this year, the old lady said that she wanted to be streamlined and economical, so she let the little girls take turns playing fans.

Today, the old lady invited the three wives from the side branch to play the horse hanging together, Xiao and the third wives were by her side, Wen Caihe and Chunmei, who was already pregnant, watched from the side.

The old lady's luck was extremely bad today, and she lost dozens of taels of silver in a row, and she became a little angry, but the three ladies laughed, and a slightly fat lady said: "Oh, I don't know if you keep giving way today." We juniors actually let us win, but our ancestors have always been generous, so losing such a small amount of money would definitely not be taken seriously. You should be more generous today, and treat it as a reward for us juniors, right? "

The old lady couldn't get angry again, and she didn't say she didn't want to play halfway because she lost the money, for fear of losing face.He could only hold back his anger, forced a smile and said: "I don't know what happened today, I'm so unlucky, no wonder there was a crow calling in front of the door early in the morning, it turned out to be waking me up. If I had known this , it’s time to stop.”

The third lady knew that the old lady felt sorry for the lost money, she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The old ancestor also, knowing that the crow is a disaster, dared to play cards today, didn't he intend to lose money to a few sisters-in-law?"

Xiao also smiled and said: "The old ancestor is so open-minded, how could he really care about those two little money, what kind of disaster is not a disaster, it is serious to have fun."

A few people were chatting and laughing, and a little girl outside came to report with a look of horror: "Old lady, the third grandma is back..."

Everyone stopped and looked back at the little girl. The old lady said coldly: "No wonder there was a crow calling today. It turned out that there was a disaster star coming back. When you come back, you come back. Why are you panicking here?"

The little girl fell on the ground and said: "The third grandma just sent someone over to tell everyone to go to the flower hall to meet her..."

The old lady didn't even bother to move her eyebrows, "What is she? Tell us elders to see her? Go, tell her, if she still wants to stay in the mansion, come over here to greet us, otherwise, tell her to get out !"

The little girl just stood there in a daze after hearing what the old lady said, refusing to move a single step.Because she had just seen the scene where a woman who refused to come here to report her leg was broken by a guard next to the third grandma. If she reported it like this now, she would probably be the one who would have her leg broken later.

She didn't move, but it made the old lady lose face in front of outsiders. When the old lady's face sank, Xiao asked Mama Sun to slap the little girl, "I don't even listen to the old ancestor's words, it seems You have such a good life on weekdays, you don’t know who is the master and who is the slave? You have to fight a dozen times to grow your memory.”

The three wives didn't think there was anything wrong with beating a girl, but they were surprised by the fact that Ninghe county magistrate asked these elders to go to the flower hall to meet her. How can there be any reason for a young mistress to ask the elders to meet her?They always knew that the old lady had a very strict family upbringing, so they just calmed down and waited to watch the excitement, and the horse crane probably wouldn't be able to do it.

Mother Sun walked over with a grim face, and the little girl backed away in horror. At this time, another person came in at the gate of the courtyard, but it was the house manager Hao Da.

Manager Hao covered his face, the corner of his right eye was bruised, the corner of his mouth was broken, and there were bloodshots, Mama Sun was taken aback, and asked strangely, "Boss, what happened to you? Who beat you like this?" look like?"

Manager Hao made a bitter face, and respectfully greeted all the female family members in the house: "Old lady, third lady, all the ladies here, please move to the flower hall now. Now that the third lady has shown the style of the county lord, she It is said that it is written in the imperial decree placed in the ancestral hall that she is the county head of the second rank, and everyone in our mansion should go to see her. If she does not obey, the third grandma will immediately report to the empress, saying We wait for the mansion... we wait for the mansion..."

The old lady drank her tea slowly, without raising her eyelids, she said, "What did she say about our residence?"

"It is said that our Hou Mansion does not understand the rules and does not follow our Great Xia's system of superiority..."

"Our Great Xia still pays attention to benevolence, filial piety, loyalty and righteousness. Since we want to worship her as a county head, let her come over to meet us elders first."

Hearing this, Director Hao groaned inwardly.Just because he didn't come, he had already been beaten up, and his heart was full of anger, but the third grandma had made it clear just now that if he dared not bring his words to him, and made it clear, he would be arrested immediately. As a Diao slave, he was sold as a slave in the bitter cold north.He is an old bone now, how can he still withstand those toss?

He had no choice but to quote Jiu Ya's original words: "The third grandma said that no matter whether it is up to the general or down to the soldiers, whether it is up to the emperor or down to the common people, it is all about putting the country first and then the family. The third grandma also said that the old lady has always followed the rules, so she must understand this truth."

Standing behind the old lady, there was a sneer on the corner of Xiao's mouth. It seemed that this Song Jiuya had just returned to Beijing and hadn't learned about the current situation in the Houfu. It must have taken too long for him to dare to challenge the old lady at this time.

The three wives thought that the old lady would lose her temper, but the old lady asked the third lady to help her up, and said indifferently: "It's good to put the country before the family, let's go, everyone go to see our county head Ninghe."
