Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 16

It was still dark, and Hui An suddenly opened his eyes covered in sweat, called Xia Er and Dong Er who were on duty at night, wiped their bodies, and then leaned on the bed in a daze. house.

When she came out, Nanny Fang was already waiting in the house, perhaps seeing Hui'an's complexion was unavoidable, so she nagged again.

Hui'an listened with a smile, and sat in front of the vanity mirror as Qiu'er combed her long and shiny black hair into two buns. Dong'er chose two butterfly-shaped Xue'e inlaid with sapphire pink pearls and inserted them into the buns respectively. With the movement, the wings of the butterfly flutter tremblingly, lifelike.Reflecting the girl's white face like jade in the mirror, her black and slender eyebrows, her big and bright eyes, and her plump and slightly thick lips, she looked more and more beautiful.

Hui'an looked at the villain in the mirror in a daze, and when she came back to her senses, Xia'er had already picked out a squirrel long beanie with a silver-red surface embroidered with silver silk peach blossoms and a brown skirt with eight pale pink pieces. Hui'an put them on, and Chun'er Come in and inform that breakfast has been set outside.

Hui'an's Banyan Pear Garden is a side courtyard of the Hou's Mansion. There are two entrances in total. Hui'an's daily activities are located in the front yard, and the back yard is the boudoir and study.

The houses all face south and north. There are three main rooms in a building. One is bright and two are dark. The bright room is on the west side and two dark rooms are connected to the east. Dining in the room was troublesome, so Nanny Fang changed the back hall directly into the dining room, and separated the bright room from the dark room with a floor-to-ceiling door curtain of ice-patterned lotus-blue silk gauze.

The bright room is small, with a square table of sandalwood incense case placed in the middle, gold thread woven cushions on the mahogany chairs, and it is not yet bright outside, so there are still five glazed lamps burning in the room, and the charcoal stoves at the four corners of the room The charcoal fire is booming, and the whole house is warm.

The breakfast is very rich, four dizzy vegetables, mushroom fat chicken, three delicacies duck, five strands of shredded chicken, stewed cabbage with cherry meat and yam.Order a plate of dessert and a bird's nest mushroom chicken soup.The dishes are all served in white-glazed plum-blossom official porcelain plates. The porcelain shines brightly under the light, reflecting the different dishes, which makes people's index fingers move.

Hui'an was already hungry, but now her taste buds were stimulated by the aroma of the food, her stomach growled, she stared at the dishes on the table and held on to the chopsticks for a while but couldn't let go.

In the previous life, because Li Yunchang preferred thin and weak beauties, in order to maintain a thin state, Hui An reduced his food intake and seldom touched greasy and meaty things. Later, he became a vegetarian every day and did not eat any oily fishy food. Looking at it now Looking at these big meat and meat, I was a little at a loss.

"But the dishes don't suit the girl's appetite? These are the girl's favorite food on weekdays. When the girl is ill, it is time to take a good tonic. The doctor said that the girl is weak after illness, and it is time to drink some nourishing soup to replenish her vitality. This bird's nest mouth ground chicken soup has been simmered all night with the best blood bird's nest, girl, let's try it?"

Seeing Hui'an's hesitant expression, a 35-year-old daughter-in-law who had been standing beside her with her head bowed all the time stepped forward to persuade her with a smile.

Hui'an raised her head and recognized that woman was the Zhou Liu family of Zhou Baoxing's family, known as Aunt Liu. She and his man were both sons of the Hou family. When he became the manager of the outer courtyard, his wife was also promoted to be the manager. She was the cook and went to the various courtyards to eat. The couple were quite respectable in the mansion, and they also gained her trust in the previous life.

But now seeing Aunt Liu's flattering smiling face, Hui'an's heart tightened, and then the face of Zhou Baoxing in his previous life who hesitated to stop her outside the Rongli Garden flashed before his eyes, although Zhou Baoxing didn't follow Sun Xinci's order to beat her out of the mansion Although he still has a good conscience, he is still a person who pushes high and tramples low.That's right, if they were really good people, they might have replaced Zhou Baoxing and his wife when Du Meike suppressed the old man of Hou's mansion, and they might have been unclean before she got married.

A coldness flashed across Hui'an's eyes, and her heart shuddered. She would keep her eyes wide open in this life for such a servant who is ready to go.Now let them play around for a few more days, and see how she will deal with them in the future.

"Aunt Liu has been working hard for the past few days." Hui'an collected her expression, smiled politely at Mrs. Liu, pointed to the steaming soup and said, "Give me a bowl."

Aunt Liu knew what was going on in Hui An's mind, and she thought that Hui An really praised her, so her eyes narrowed with a smile, and she hurriedly filled Hui An with soup in a celadon twig bowl, and said with a smile: "Where, slaves don't work hard, as long as the girl Now that everything is safe and sound, everyone can be happy."

Hui'an nodded and tasted the soup, only to feel that her teeth were fragrant.The soup is very fragrant, the heat is just right, and the chicken is tender, and it melts in the mouth after one bite.Hui'an only felt that the gluttonous insects in her stomach that had been dead for many years came back to life, and when she came to her senses, she had already drank a whole bowl of soup, even the chicken was gone.

Nanny Fang looked at Xi with a smile on her face, and hurriedly served Hui An with vegetables, only persuading her to eat more, so as to make up for her pale complexion due to illness.

Hui An just went back to the back room after dinner and lay down for a while, when she heard voices coming from the yard, Hui An stood up, and Nanny Fang had already brought a woman in her forties wearing crow-blue dark-patterned trousers and a dark brown skirt. The mother-in-law entered the house, but it was Mother Zhao, the manager of Chunyun Garden.

As soon as Zhao's mother entered the room, she saluted Hui'an with a smile on her face, and said respectfully: "Slave maid please greet the eldest daughter, is the eldest daughter well?"

Mother Zhao is an old mother who used to serve by Hui An's mother Shen Qing, she is very loyal to Hui An, seeing the concerned smile on her face warms her heart, and hurriedly said: "Xia'er, quickly move a house for Zhao Mama , Mom sat down and answered. Mommy Zhao is thinking about it, I am much better today."

Mother Zhao was not polite to Hui'an, she sat down with a smile, and said, "Girl, don't be so careless in the future. Although you are in good health, as the saying goes, medicine is [-]% poisonous, and a girl's health is the blessing of slaves."

Hearing that there was some accusation in her words, Hui An felt warm in her heart, and answered yes with a busy smile. Dong'er served tea, and the two chatted for a few more words. After Hui An used a cup of tea, she asked slowly. : "Mom came to me, but father summoned something?"

When Zhao's mother heard the words, her face showed annoyance, and she was startled: "Oh, look at me, this person is so old that he forgets things, and he has forgotten the important things these days. So, Mrs. Du from the Du Mansion in Fuyun Lane brought Seeing that Miss Du's Mansion is here, the master asked the old slave to invite the girl to meet her."
