A world of glory

Hou Ye saw that the old lady had calmed down, and what she said was reasonable, and it was not easy to refute the old lady's words, so he just bowed his head and replied: "It's still mother who is thoughtful, and it's important to think about children's medicine, but it's not for these things. Little distractions."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, and was about to speak when Jinfeng from outside came in and said with a smile: "Old lady, the imperial doctor has already been invited into the mansion, the old lady should pass it on now, or talk about it after eating."

The old lady smiled, patted Qin Yi's hand and said: "Please ask the imperial doctor to look at it first, otherwise I can't let it go." Then she said to Lord Hou: "Anyway, it's a coincidence today, so don't worry about it." Stay here, go out and make up your mind before going back." Master Hou responded by himself and went.

But said that the second wife went out to see his wife, and saw that she was wearing a green peony makeup and flower gauze gown, with anise bun on her hair, emerald green snow hairpin, adorned with a few ruby ​​inlaid pearl head flowers, elegant and luxurious, Not like usual.Standing in front of the screen in Dali Temple, he was talking to two daughters-in-law.

The second wife walked over hurriedly, saluted, and then said with a smile: "It's not a coincidence that my aunt came. Just now the old lady went out for a walk, but she couldn't stand the heat, and she was not very energetic. Let me tell you, I'll be gone today, so as not to get sick."

The madam just smiled when she heard this, and asked if she had invited the doctor. The second wife answered according to her words, and the madam just ordered: "Since the doctor has been invited, you can order the kitchen to make some heat-relieving soup and send it to the old lady." In the wife's room, you should also go back and persuade the old lady to rest too much, so as not to hurt her body."

The second wife laughed and said: "I have already given orders, I still have something to report to my aunt, but it just so happened that I went back with my aunt."

The madam smiled slightly, took the second wife with her, and went all the way back to the main room, and then entered the main courtyard, saw some maids chattering and whispering, and seeing the madam and the second wife came back, Fang stood up straight, holding his voice silently. Get angry.

The second wife glanced at it, but didn't say much, just followed his wife into the main room, and sat down, the lady picked up the tea cup and suddenly asked: "What's going on today?"

The second wife was stunned for a moment, then just smiled and said: "Nothing else, just a few unscrupulous servants, chewing their tongues indiscriminately, which made the eldest son angry. It happened to let the old lady and Lord Hou know about it, but it took a while to make trouble." It stopped."

The madam sighed faintly, and said with concern: "Young master has always been sick, it's good to vent this anger, so as not to get sick again. I also know that there are often some girls and women in the mansion who talk too much, but The sons in this mansion are decent for several lifetimes, even Lord Hou has to be respected, and I can't control them." As he spoke, he sighed for a while, tears flashed in his eyes, and looked at him again. He glanced at the second wife and said, "Since you are in charge of the house, you should do your best to find a way to deal with those restless servants."

The second wife groaned secretly in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face, and said: "That's not the reason, it's just that I punished you yesterday, and kicked him out. How could this happen again today? People respect me. I respect people, but I have been too loose on weekdays, so this happened!" Looking at his wife, the second wife hesitated to say: "It's just..."

When the madam saw her, she knew that the second madam must be in trouble, so she hurriedly said, "It's just what, is there something bothering you?"

The second wife hesitated and said: "I don't know what to say, but today the eldest son is angry, but it was caused by two things, one of which was involved in my aunt's room."

After the second wife finished speaking, she involuntarily glanced at Madam, and persuaded: "I also know my aunt's difficulties. In this house, my aunt has worked hard for many years, but she has not been able to please her. Those decent families have children I'm used to looking at people, so it's no wonder my aunt relies heavily on the accompanying family members brought by the family." As he spoke, his eyes were full of water, and he wiped it with a handkerchief, and then said: "But speaking of it, the accompanying rooms are all brought by the family. My confidant, if you don't rely heavily on who to rely on, it's just our family's situation, and my aunt knows that even though she bears the name of a family, she is not good for anything. There are not many outstanding ones. Now in this mansion, my aunt is both the principal wife and the legitimate son, even for brother Xian, she should drive some unruly companions out."

After hearing this, the madam smiled bitterly, and said helplessly to the second wife: "You child, you were smart and capable in the past, why are you so confused now? I can marry into the Hou's mansion, you can marry into the general's mansion, it's all because of the Zhou family's help." Although these companions married us, they are related to the family after all. If they are kicked out, they will cry at home, and the water splashed by the married daughter will chill the hearts of the elderly in the family. , Relying on these companions means relying on the family, maybe we can still rely on the husband's family, in this world there are only second-in-law wives, there is no husband in trouble."

The second wife was at a loss for words for a while, since she and the second master got married, the husband and wife fell in love with each other, it can be said that the piano is harmonious, and the phoenix sings together.The second wife is also a likable person, not only the wife and the second wife treat her well, but the old lady also decides to let her take care of the family affairs in the East Mansion.How can she understand the pain in Madam's heart, she feels that marrying a chicken is like a chicken, if she values ​​her mother's family more than her husband's family like Madam, and she doesn't pay attention to her husband's family, even if she is in her mother's family, she won't get any good things. He only persuaded: "Although that is the case, Brother Xian is the blood of Lord Hou. He will inherit the Hou family in the future, so he can't be close to the people around him like this, regardless of good or bad." The maid said in the corridor, Master Hou is back.

Just as I was talking, I saw Lord Hou come into the house. The second wife saluted with a busy smile, and said goodbye to his wife: "Calculate the time, sister Luan is about to wake up, I'll go back first, tomorrow Please come again and say hello."

Madam was so busy that she ordered the servant girl to take the second wife out, and she personally helped Master Hou undress and undress, Master Hou said lightly: "Is there anything for my daughter-in-law to come over?" Madam looked up at Master Hou and said with a smile: "It's nothing important. Son, but we had a conversation and talked about things in the mansion."

He got up again, untied Hou Ye's hair crown, and held tea in Hou Ye's hand.Hou Ye took the tea, and suddenly said: "Madam Jiang is your companion, what is the relationship with Zhang Qi's wife?"

Madam smiled slightly and said: "I remember that Mrs. Jiang's daughter married Zhang Qi's younger brother. They are in-laws." Hou Ye nodded and asked again: "Zhang Gui's wife and Zhang Qi's wife are the same family. Bar."

Madam laughed and said: "I don't know about this. It shouldn't belong to the same family. The family surnamed Zhang has many children in this mansion. Who can remember clearly." The lady's eyes were full of gold stars, she couldn't stand for a while, and fell to the ground.

Bright red slap marks appeared on Bai Nen's face. Madam covered her face, looked at Lord Hou in astonishment, and said with tears in her eyes, "You hit me...you hit me..."

Hou Ye's face turned blue with anger, and he said angrily: "I can't beat you anymore. You can still pretend to be ignorant after committing such a scandal. You are worthy of being a good daughter of the Zhou family in Hailing. Such scheming and cunning are really good. What a virtuous man."

Madam straightened up and cried: "I don't know what a shame, what a shame, I have worked hard for half my life, taking care of the housework for you, honoring your elders, but I didn't expect to be beaten and scolded when I was old. Even my birth has become a mistake." Crying to the point of sadness, she complained: "Since you know today, you might as well have divorced me in the first place, lest I be disliked in the mansion, and now I have to be wronged."

Hou Ye couldn't hold back his anger any more, he only pointed at his wife and said, "You have been wronged and wronged, why are you wronged, the wrong is that you acted too late, and I came back too early. The wrong is that people saw through the trick before it was executed. Taking care of the housework, the housework you take care of is to instigate your wife and mother-in-law to scold the master of the house, to tamper with your brother's medicine, and even to defraud your brother and miss. Filial piety, luckily the old lady doesn't like you , otherwise I would have been so filial to you that I would have been sick. You still have the face to complain, if it wasn't for the fear that Xian'er would lose face to others, I would have divorced you right now."

After hearing this, Madam was angry and angry, and sneered: "Why don't you have the face to face people? What do these things have to do with me? I acted innocently. I am not wronged or wronged. Empty words are no skill, anyone can make them up. I will give medicine, if I really want to take medicine, those concubines and daughters of yours will still be born. So what if I am the daughter of the Zhou family in Hailing, don’t forget, no matter how poor my family is, it is still a famous family in the previous dynasty, what secret medicine? You have never seen the tricks before, such a trick as medicine, and you underestimate me too much."

"It's not you, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Zhou and daughter-in-law Zhou are all your companions. I haven't agreed to what I said yesterday, but it has been spread throughout the house. That Zhang Qi's family has even acted as a matchmaker for the girl next to Yi'er." Yes. Mrs. Zhou is very capable. If I hadn’t believed my daughter-in-law to find out, I’m afraid I’d be a fool when I died of illness tomorrow. As for Zhang Qi’s and Zhang Qi’s, although they are not in the same room, they are closer than real sisters. Withholding things belonging to brothers and sisters is even more ruthless than a poor official scratching the ground, and it really is close to Zhu Zhechi, which opened my eyes." The more Hou Ye said, the more his heart became colder, he thought that a virtuous wife, Surprisingly, there are some unreasonable slaves around, and seeing the servant knows the master, the madam's scheming is so deep that it makes people shudder.

Hearing this, the madam felt as if oil had been poured on her heart, and the flames blazed up, she just cried, "So what if you are my companion, Mrs. Jiang is just a rough envoy, although Mrs. Zhou is in charge of the medicine storehouse, she can marry It's the people in this mansion, Zhang Gui's family and Zhang Qi's family, it's even more ridiculous, I don't know, when the master even has to check who the slaves are with, there are hundreds of people in this mansion, You understand a few things clearly, let’s talk and listen.”
