Chapter 212 The Cupid New Wife
The old lady's yard has become a mess, girls and daughters-in-law come in and out, those who bring water, those who deliver tea, those who look for medicine, those who play fans, those who report letters, and those who answer. extraordinary.

Amidst all the bustle, there was only a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes sitting silently in a corner of the main hall, watching the commotion of the crowd with cold eyes, with a hint of a sarcasm faintly showing on the corner of her mouth.Standing behind her were two young girls dressed as maidservants, both of whom were well dressed.The three master and servant seemed extremely uncoordinated in this scene. The maid who passed by saw their indifference, and there was a bit of resentment in their eyes, but the beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes didn't care.

This is what Chunying saw when she followed the third young master Li You into the house.When the beauty saw Li You enter the door, she frowned and turned her face away, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, and raised it slightly to cover half of her face.Li You didn't notice her sitting in the corner at all, so she rushed into the room and asked anxiously, "How is grandma doing now? Is it important for you?!"

An Shi was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping tears. Hearing this, she hurriedly raised her head and called her son: "You'er, come and see your grandmother..." Then she wiped her tears again, and Li You was terrified. , hurriedly made way for him to rush to the old lady's bed.The old lady was already faintly awake, just panting and patting her chest lightly.Li You lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, stepped forward and knelt down, and said softly, "Grandma, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

The old lady looked at her little grandson, with kindness in her eyes, and nodded slightly.An Shi said again: "Shut up for your grandmother, she is very angry today!"

Li You paused, stretched out his hand to hold his grandmother's hand, and said a few words of comfort in a soft voice, then turned to ask Hu Po and others about her grandmother's illness, Hu Po replied: "It must have been just short of breath for a while, but now that I'm breathing, I'm fine now." There are many, but you have to ask the doctor to look at it to be sure." Li You frowned: "Then what are you waiting for?! Please call the doctor!" "I have already asked someone to ask for it, third young master, don't worry, isn't the old lady already awake? "The old lady patted the back of the little grandson's hand lightly, and Li You calmed down.

Chunying and Shi'er stood by the door and saw Li You comforting the old lady, and ordered the maids and daughters-in-law outside the house to calm down and perform their duties. After a short surprise, the messy yard immediately became orderly up.Chun Ying and the two looked at each other, although they always knew that he only looked like a child on the outside, but he was actually a very scheming person, but he had only seen him acting like a baby to the old lady before, how could he have seen him so filial and stable appearance?I just feel that the third young master seems to have grown five years and become a reliable man.

Mrs. An looked at her son with a proud face, and judging from the expressions of the old lady and the big girls, I believe they also felt the same way. The old lady even held her grandson's hand with emotion and sighed, "Okay!" "Child" three words, the original pale face gradually returned to rosy, I don't know if it was caused by excitement, or the condition has improved.

However, the old lady is in good health, which is also a good thing for the Hou family.Seeing that her expression was better than before, Chunying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.It's just that she couldn't help but a thought flashed in her mind: the courtyard was still in chaos in the presence of the wife, and it was the third young master who was only sixteen years old who came forward to calm the scene. Is this the wife's failure?This idea turned around in her mind twice before being thrown away.

Looking back, I took a look at the beauty in the corner, presumably this is the new Second Young Mistress, right?She really is a beauty!
Liang Yue is the kind of beauty with a very traditional and classical appearance. She has an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a small cherry mouth, fair complexion, ink-like hair, and exquisite makeup. Hanging pearl hairpins and wearing a bright red embroidered skirt, the whole person looks gorgeous but not tacky.In terms of beauty alone, this Second Young Mistress was even better than Fan Xiru and Rouge, but it was a pity that the cold look of contempt slightly diminished her beauty a bit.

One of the girls standing behind Liang saw Chunying staring at her master, so she glared at her. Chunying curled her lips, turned her head, and heard another girl ask Liang in a worried voice: "Miss, is it true?" Is it okay? It is the first time you greet the elders after entering the door..." The glaring girl scolded her in a low voice: "What's the matter? It's their Li family's fault first, so it's possible that our lady should be wronged?! Hua, tell me who is your master!" The girl named Shuhua didn't dare to make a sound, while Liang remained expressionless.

What is wrong with her?On the wedding night, I quarreled with my husband until almost dawn before going to bed, and I delayed coming to pay my respects to the old lady until almost noon, and last night her brother made a big fuss in front of the guests at the wedding banquet and punched her husband again On the other hand, Chunying felt that it was too difficult for this girl to gain a firm foothold in this house, and she still put on such an appearance, who could look at her pleasing to the eye?Even if she is not reconciled, the overall situation is settled. Is she still dreaming that she has her natal family to rely on, so she can do whatever she wants in her in-law's family?
Chunying looked back at her again, and found that she was actually not that beautiful.After all, beauty still needs to be matched with a certain level of wisdom in order to make people feel happy!

Someone led the doctor in, and a look of embarrassment appeared on Liang's face again, and the Shuhua girl hurriedly stood in front of her.But the doctor and the person who led the way also ignored her, and hurriedly reported that there was a little commotion inside, and after a while Li You came out in person and invited the doctor in.

It took another quarter of an hour before he sent the doctor out. According to the conversation between the two, the old lady's problem should not be serious.Seeing this, all the maids and women recited Buddha's name in unison.

An Shi sniffed her nose and wiped her tears, and walked out from the room, telling Manao behind her to take care of the old lady's various precautions, Chunying hurriedly took two steps back with Shi'er, and Fu got down.An's didn't pay attention, she just talked in a low voice, and suddenly raised her eyes and saw Liang sitting in the hall, her face fell down: "Who's new daughter-in-law is so unruly?! The elder just sat down before saying anything? The old lady is so angry that she doesn't even ask, Grand Master Liang is really a good tutor!"

An angry look flashed across Mrs. Liang's brows. She got up gracefully, looked at An's with a frown and said, "Madam, please be more careful! The reputation of my Liang family is not something you can slander at will! No matter how bad my family's tutoring is, it can't compare In the family, a few lowly girls dare to show me face! If you want to blame me for not knowing the rules, you might as well ask your family members what they have done?!" His eyes turned to Agate with disgust.

Manao is a very respectable girl in front of the old lady. Since Liuli got married, there is no more respectable girl in the house except Hu Po. Even the Marquis and his wife will not speak harshly to her. Now Hearing Liang's accusation, I felt it was ridiculous, and couldn't help sneering: "Second Young Mistress, what you said is ridiculous! You got up late today, and the old lady waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for the new grandson and daughter-in-law to pay her respects. I was tired, so I went back to the house to rest. The second young lady came at this time, but I asked you to wait a little bit, so that the old lady could take a breath before she could get up and be worshiped by you. You are sitting here in a big way, and there is no shortage of tea and snacks. Someone is waiting on you again, how can you be wronged?! Could it be that the second young lady can't afford to wait for this little time?! You are angry in your heart, and you have no reason to say it to your elders! Waiter, you asked someone to slap her without saying a word, what kind of rules are you doing?!"

Mrs. Liang blushed slightly, and glared at the girl next to her: "Didn't you hear? Do you want me to argue with someone?!" The girl hurriedly stepped forward and scolded Ma Nao: "Our lady is talking to your wife, you What does a girl get in her mouth?! There is no distinction between high and low, and you deserve to mention the word "rule"?!"

"Enough!" An yelled annoyedly, "The old lady is still lying in the house! You are just yelling. I have never heard of a new daughter-in-law in the whole capital who just entered the house the next day. She didn't even respect the tea, but she was showing prestige to her mother-in-law! I haven't heard of any new daughter-in-law who just got married and let her elder brother beat her husband, and she even had to quarrel with her! Lord Hou is really confused, he shouldn't have softened his heart that day, and after listening to Grand Master Liang's begging, he married such a ignorant daughter-in-law!"

Mrs. Liang blushed suddenly, trembling with anger, the beaded hairpin on her head trembled and made obvious noises.Chunying and Shi'er looked at each other, both secretly wiping off their sweat.But An raised her head high, threw her handkerchief and stepped out the door. When she met her son who had turned around, she gave a few instructions, and then rushed to arrange for her mother-in-law's medicine to be boiled, and to prepare her porridge for lunch.

Li You walked into the room, turned away from looking at Mrs. Liang, and only told Manao in detail the doctor's added precautions, and when she entered the inner room, she wanted to call Chunying and the others to leave.But that Mrs. Liang lost face in front of Mrs. An, and the master left, she had nowhere to go. Seeing that this uncle ignored her again and again and was extremely rude, she couldn't help it anymore: "Which young master will have no taboos when he enters the inner courtyard?! Don't tell me there are no rules in the house?!"

Li You frowned, looked at her coldly, and looked away without saying a word.Mrs. Liang became even more angry, and turned to stare at the girl, but that girl was a little embarrassed, she could speak out on behalf of the lord to other girls, but this is the young master of the Hou's mansion, why should she scold him?
Chunying looked left and right, remembering that Mrs. Liang asked the girl to scold agate on her behalf, and guessed that these ancient noble children would probably "respect their own status" and not directly quarrel with the servants, right?But now there is a conflict between uncle and sister-in-law?However, it seems inconvenient for the third young master to refute his sister-in-law
Forget it, since you want to please the third young master, just do it completely!

Chunying took a step forward and said respectfully: "Second young lady, what you said is wrong, this is the old lady's yard, and the old lady is not well, the third young master came in to ask about health, it is filial piety, how could there be no rules? The slaves don't know what the rules are in the mansion of the in-laws, but in our mansion, the young masters come to pay their respects to the old lady, and the young mistresses and young ladies always hide in the inner room, otherwise, they will hide behind the screen." It means, the third young master comes and goes, if you want to avoid it, won't you move yourself?
Liang Shi glared at Chunying, but Li You glanced at her approvingly, Chunying almost smiled back, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the girl who was about to speak again, so she went up to her and smiled at her, saying: "This sister , since you have entered the gate of our mansion, you have to follow the rules of our Marquis Mansion in the future. People who have always followed the rules treat those who serve their elders with courtesy. In our mansion, The sisters in the old lady’s courtyard are more respectable than others! Just like you did just now, it is not allowed to yell at them, or even beat them. Nowadays, the emperor governs the country with filial piety, and our Houfu has always been loyal to the emperor. For the whole family, the word filial piety is the most important word, even the most humble servants and girls know this truth, sister must never do it again in the future."

The girl's hands were trembling with anger: "You... what do you mean! Are you saying that my lady doesn't know the rules?!" Liang Shi gritted his teeth aside, and the girl named Shuhua pulled her away in fear. Pulling her sleeve, she shook it off forcefully.

Li You smiled faintly, staring at the yard outside, but clasped his hands together and made a bow in the direction of Mrs. Liang: "Second sister-in-law, you don't understand these rules, and the second brother will teach you slowly. Now In the case of grandma, I can't accept your kneeling. Even if you want to make amends, she will be even more angry when she sees it. You should go back first, and I will tell the second brother when I turn back, so that he can teach the second sister-in-law well! "Pause, and then added: "If you feel that you can't see men, next time you might as well ask your maids to move the screen behind you and block it in front of you, so naturally no one can see you." !" After saying that, he glanced at Chunying and Shi'er: "Let's go."

Chunying and Shi'er looked at each other, held back their smiles, and followed him.

Before breaking through the threshold, Liang yelled, "Stop!"

(It's even later today, I'm really sorry...)
