Madam Hou

Chapter 118

Yinniang found that after Fangzhou was sent out, Mrs. Lin looked at her eyes more and more lightly.

That day Fangzhou ran to the main courtyard with red eyes, then knelt down in the courtyard with a "plop", and kowtowed to the main room, crying and begging: "Ma'am, this servant knows that you are the most virtuous and virtuous." Virtue, I beg you to persuade Lord Hou not to send out your servants. The servants know that they are not good-looking, and the wife and Lord Hou are deeply in love with each other, so they dare not compete with the wife. Maid is also good. Please madam, please madam..."

Knocking down a few times, Fangzhou's forehead was already bloody and bloody, and the blood flowed to his face, even a bunch of maids and women watching the fun couldn't help but feel pity.Thinking of a certain piece of handkerchief or snacks that Fangzhou gave him on a certain day in a certain year, I felt even more unfair about it: Madam is too jealous, which family's master and young master don't have three wives and four concubines, and they have been married for so long. Forget it with Lord Hou, but now even Fangzhou, who is so responsible, can't tolerate it.

Supported by Qinghua and Caizhu, Yinniang came out of the main room in a hurry, Yinniang didn't have the time to think about what the maidservant was thinking, seeing Fangzhou's pitiful appearance, she felt sorry for her.

Caizhu hurriedly reprimanded the servant girl next to her, "What are you still standing there looking at, and you haven't helped Miss Fangzhou up, the floor is so hard, you just let her knock your heads off, Miss Fangzhou was so excited that she couldn't think carefully. Where did your heads go, or did you frame Miss Fangzhou on purpose, making Madam think that Madam Fangzhou was deliberately trying to give Madam a reputation of being jealous and harsh to the people in the house? They are really a bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. How much Fangzhou usually gives you Good thing, before she falls into the well, you are thinking of throwing stones. Let me tell you, Madam is not so easy to fool, Fangzhou girls have always been honest, Madam knows who she is, you think you can deceive lady?"

The two servant girls next to her looked at each other, and hurried over to help Fangzhou up.

Fangzhou didn't seem to hear what Caizhu said, so she broke away from the little maid's hand and continued: "Madam, please, help this servant to say a few words to Lord Hou. Although this servant is lowly, she really likes Lord Hou. If you leave Lord Hou, the servant will be more uncomfortable than dying. The servant does not dare to have delusions, but only wants to be a servant girl to serve the Lord and Madam dutifully. Just give me a meal and a mat so that the servants can stay in this room, please Madam, don’t send the servants out..."

Love is priceless and knows no class.

Fangzhou's sincere confession moved everyone, even Yinniang couldn't help being touched.

But moved, Yinniang still remembered the three obediences and four virtues taught in the "Four Books for Women", so she said to Fangzhou: "Fangzhou, even though you are a maid, I am moved by your thoughts on Lord Hou, but you also know that you have to send me away." It was Lord Hou who you went out to marry and follow your husband, even I can't disobey Lord Hou's order, don't you think?"

Fangzhou continued to kowtow: "Madam, please, Lord Hou listens to you the most. If you say a few words for the servants, Lord Hou will definitely listen to you..."

Looking at the face full of blood and tears, coupled with a desperate expression, although there is no feeling of Fufeng Weak Liulihua with rain, it makes the viewer feel that if she, the mistress, refuses to agree to help her to intercede She is simply not a human being, but a beast, a poisonous woman, and she is trying to force her housekeeper to death.

Yin Niang was very ashamed of her poisonous woman, so she rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, and said cautiously: "How about I help you talk about it in front of Lord Hou?"

Before we had time to play the scene where the maid hugged the mistress's thigh in gratitude and said thank you, our Lord Lin Hou appeared at this time very coincidentally, walked to Yinniang's side with a dark face, looked at Fangzhou who was kneeling on the ground, Angrily asked: "What are you doing, are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?"

Fangzhou shuddered for a moment, but soon bravely met Lin Fengqi's gaze with tears in his eyes, and begged: "Please, Lord Hou, don't drive this servant away, please let this servant stay to serve you and your wife."

As a very virtuous and virtuous mistress, Yin Niang felt that she should stand up at this time and say a few words for this maid, so she said: "Master Hou, Fangzhou is sincere to you, why don't you let her... …”

Before the word "stay" was out of her mouth, Yin Niang shuddered for a moment when Lin Fengqi glared at her angrily, and then quickly shut up. Afterwards, Nuonuo wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, which left an impression on outsiders That is, Madam sympathizes with Miss Fangzhou very much, but she dares not speak for her because of the majesty of Master Hou.

Fangzhou was sent out of the mansion by Lin Houye at that time, and the Zhuangzi who was sent to the countryside was rationed to a Zhuangtou whose wife died. The crime was that he refused to obey the arrangement of the master and urged the mistress to disobey the husband.It is said that if it weren't for the fact that she has served for several years, Lord Hou would have beaten her to death.

It is also heard that after disposing of playing Fangzhou, Lord Hou closed the door in the room and scolded his wife severely, scolding her for "disobeying the husband for the sake of a good name, and learning all three things and four virtues." With his permission, concubines are not allowed to enter the house. Even if it is a woman sent by others, even if it is given by his own mother, she is not allowed to enter his house without his permission." "Don't think that you have been filial to my father for three years. I dare not divorce you, and if I dare to commit another crime in the future, I will still take you back to your natal family in a sedan chair."

The voice was so loud that even the maids outside Tangrong Courtyard heard it.

Hou Ye slammed the door and left after saying these words, and then did not enter the inner courtyard door for three consecutive days, leaving his pregnant wife crying every night until dawn.In the end, it was Madam who went to the study in the front yard to make tea for Master Hou to make amends, and then they reconciled.

After this incident, all the maids in the mansion preached: Who said that the madam is jealous and oppresses the people in the house, this madam is the most virtuous and virtuous, and Fangzhou was sent out because Lord Hou didn't like it.Didn't you see that because his wife begged Fangzhou for a favor, Master Hou even said the words of divorce?

Mrs. Lin did not say much about Fangzhou being sent out, but her attitude towards Yinniang began to be cold.

Yin Niang didn't think Mrs. Lin was annoyed because she sent Fangzhou away, but she was more likely to be annoyed because she competed with her daughter-in-law for her son's favor but failed.

The atmosphere in Fushouyuan has been tense recently. If it was normal, Yinniang would definitely go there immediately to please and behave until Mrs. Lin's anger subsides.But now, she has a good temper recently, so she doesn't want to spend this thought on it.Just kidding, she is holding the golden egg in her arms now, so there is no need to wait any longer.Although for the sake of her grandson, Mrs. Lin will not rub her like when she rubbed her, but cold violence is also very tormenting, okay? Maybe her child will become grumpy if he suffers from cold violence man of.

Sister Yun, who came to visit Yinniang, saw Yinniang's pensive look, patted her on the shoulder involuntarily, and shouted: "Yinniang, Yinniang, what are you thinking?"

Yin Niang came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Excuse me, where did we just talk about?"

Sister Yun acted like I knew it all, and then said: "Forget it, forget it, you can't listen to what I've said, so I don't bother to talk anymore."

After finishing speaking, she brought the tea next to her to drink. Her mouth was parched from what she had just said, and she was really thirsty to death.

Sister Yun wore a stone-blue soft satin pleated skirt, a rose-purple dress with a thousand-petal chrysanthemum pattern, and a pair of green jade earrings on her ears.Although she didn't have the vivacious energy that Yin Niang had when she first met her, she was much more energetic than when she was in the nunnery.

In February, Mr. Wang's wife, Mrs. Qin, died of dystocia. In March, sister Yun, who had lived in the nunnery for several years, was finally taken home by Mrs. Yang.When the first wife passed away, the husband had to observe filial piety for one year, but the marriage between the third son Wang and sister Yun had already been agreed in private, and they only waited for the third son Wang to be filial piety, and then passed the three letters and six rituals.

The love-hate entanglement between Sister Yun, Third Prince Wang and Qin Nuan finally ended with Qin Nuan's death and Third Prince Wang and Sister Yun reunited.

This seems to be the ending that no one has guessed.Yinniang had thought before that sister Yun might figure it out one day, or after a few years, when her feelings for Mr. Wang faded away, she would choose a well-matched family to marry.But she never thought that she would be with the third son Wang again.

It really is unpredictable.

But this seems to be the expected ending.Sister Yun's love is simple, pure and persistent, as long as she likes someone, she will never marry her forever.If she didn't marry the person in her heart in this life, maybe she would stay in the nunnery and never get married as her own ending.Yinniang doesn't know whether this is good or bad. For Yinniang, she feels that this kind of persistence is not worth it, but for Sister Yun, she is content with it.

Sister Yun continued to talk about pregnancy with Yinniang: "...don't think that pregnancy is not hard at all just because you can eat and drink now. You won't worry until your stomach is bulging in five or six months. Your thighs are easy to swell , and prone to cramps, when it’s time to give birth, tsk tsk, the pain is even more uncomfortable than being stabbed directly. Alas, it’s obvious that giving birth is a matter of two people, but in the end only the woman suffers, and the man just needs to wait to hold the child Well, God is really unfair."

Yin Niang doubted: "Hey, you have never given birth to a child, how do you know so clearly."

"Uh..." Sister Yun said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "I heard what others said." After speaking, as if afraid of Yinniang's further questioning, she hurriedly brought the tea on the table to drink.

When drinking tea, I opened my eyes to look at Yinniang. Seeing that she still had doubts, when she put down the teacup, without waiting for Yinniang to say anything, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting dark, I'm going to Go back, or my mother should be worried, and I will come to see you next time."

Yin Niang always felt a little strange, and wanted to ask again, but seeing that it was indeed getting late outside, she let go of her doubts.

Sister Yun took out a safety talisman from her sleeve and handed it to Yinniang, saying, "I'm giving this to you and put it by the bedside to keep you and the baby safe."

Yin Niang took it and thanked her with a smile.Then he stood up and sent Sister Yun out of the Chuihua Gate, and then asked Qing Hua to escort her out of the gate of Yongning Hou Mansion.

After Sister Yun left, Yinniang leaned on the couch to rest. Her pregnancy went well, and it has been three months. Apart from eating sour food, she didn't even feel nauseated or vomited at all, and she was able to eat and sleep.

Caizhu came in from the outside and whispered into Yinniang's ear, "Ma'am, Mrs. He has come to see the second lady again."

The reason for saying "again" is because since Mrs. He married in, Mrs. He would come to the Hou Mansion every three days to fight for her daughter, even when she was keeping her filial piety.Every time she sees Mrs. He, Yinniang always has a feeling of "No wonder Mrs. He's temperament grows up like this".

Every time I come here, Mrs. He has the expression that your family owes me money, and she likes to show off the money from her elders. She says that the Hou Fu treats her daughter poorly, and even her housekeeper will give advice later.Once, two maids in Yinniang's room accidentally broke a vase, and the two maids cleaned the house together. In the end, they didn't know who broke it, but they both knelt down in front of Yinniang to plead guilty. Take responsibility on yourself.Seeing that they had a good attitude of admitting their mistake, Yin Niang saw that although the vase was worth some silver, it was not a very valuable item, so she reprimanded them a few words and fined them a few months of monthly money before letting them go. They paid for the silver of the vase, and ordered the fragments to be packed and sold in the warehouse.

Mrs. He, who just came in from the outside, saw her, she sat down on the seat next to her and began to lecture Yinniang: "Mr. Chen, it's not me, the elder, who blames you. The servant girl broke the master's finances, so there is no need to pay for it. Those who know say that you are lenient to servants, and those who don’t know say that you don’t know how to be a housekeeper. If it were in our He family, it would be easy for this kind of servant girl to be dragged down to [-] boards. If servants see that you are tolerant and can be bullied, they will only Concealing the top and the bottom, they joined forces and emptied the Hou Mansion. Don't forget, the wealth of the Hou Mansion is not owned by the first householder, but the second and third householders also have a share. But you can't blame it You, I’m afraid you haven’t learned housekeeping since you were a child. Let’s see, I taught Miss Zhu from a young age. If you don’t say you’ve learned ten points from me as a housekeeper, you still have nine points. You might as well ask her to help you more in the future. After a few more years of studying by her side, she will know how to housekeeper."

Yin Niang was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood all over her face. How could there be such a weird person in this world? It would be faster to let her just jump into the river if she was asked to learn from He Shi.Yinniang finally understood that compared to Mrs. He, Mrs. He was nothing.Yinniang once wondered that every time Mrs. He came here, she came alone, without even a daughter-in-law to accompany her. Could it be that every time Mrs. He wanted to go out, her daughter-in-law would get sick collectively.

Yinniang was annoyed to death by them, but they were serious relatives. Yinniang couldn't drive people out. In the end, Yinniang simply went out every time she came and waited for the tea, and ordered the waiters in the room to wait. Other than changing tea for her, the people in the house were not allowed to talk to her.Anyway, when she had finished her tea and saw that no one was entertaining her, she naturally went back.

Since Yinniang became pregnant, Mrs. Lin took over the servants of the Hou's mansion in order to avoid Yinniang's fatigue. Naturally, Mrs. Lin took care of the reception of guests.

Yin Niang said: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with our hospital, so leave them alone in the future."

Cai Zhu said: "Yes."
