[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Sister Feng broke away from him lightly, stood up, and walked out the door.

Gu Xingchi looked at Kong Luoluo's hand, his mind was blank, and he also walked over.

"What's wrong?" He frowned tightly, "Who made you unhappy?"

"No." Sister Feng's lips curled up, her smile didn't reach her eyes, but she looked straight at him.

Gu Xingchi shook his head, "Ah Feng, don't lie to me, what are you thinking?"

Sister Feng stared at him for a while, then smiled lightly and said, "I'm thinking of you."

Gu Xingchi felt a sweetness in his heart, but when he realized it was strange, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What do you miss me?"

Her moist eyes were full of tenderness, her eyes were as charming as silk, and she was charming and angry, "I was thinking that Lord Hou was born in a prominent family, rich as jade, and enduring favor. Over the years, I don't know how many girls he has won." Fangxin secretly promises, has Master Hou never been tempted?"

It was the first time Gu Xingchi had seen her like this, a clear spring in his heart was rippling in circles.He laughed in a low voice, "I never cared about other girls, I just focused on coaxing you into my hands."

"Really?" She seemed dubious.

Gu Xingchi noticed the difference in her today, he thought someone was sowing discord, so he asked, "Did someone say anything to you today?"

Sister Feng said unintentionally: "It's nothing, it's just that my grandmother handed over the housekeeping to me today, and my second aunt kindly taught me some ways to be a wife."

Hearing this, Gu Xingchi had a look of boredom on his brows, "Don't listen to her, she's just talking nonsense, I'm afraid the world will not be chaotic."

Sister Feng turned around and said intentionally: "No, actually I think what Second Aunt said is quite reasonable. As a wife, one should be gentle, considerate, virtuous and magnanimous to her husband. For example——"

Gu Xingchi stared at her, and said in a low voice, "Like what?"

There seemed to be a dangerous tone in his voice, but Sister Feng still smiled and said, "For example, take the initiative to choose a room for the husband, in case of emergencies... Hiss..."

She pushed him away, touched his neck, and said angrily, "You actually bit someone, it hurts!"

"Who told you to talk nonsense." Gu Xingchi chuckled lightly.

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows, "Aren't I right? Although Second Aunt said those words with no good intentions, what she said was true, and other women did the same."

Gu Xingchi sighed, "But you are not another woman, so you don't need to follow others. If you were like others, I would have chosen a lady to marry at random, so why wait for you?"

Sister Feng's watery eyes fluctuated, "But marrying a wife is different from taking a concubine. Marrying a wife does not hinder taking a concubine, let alone a small house?"

Gu Xingchi chuckled softly: "Is that what you really want to say today? On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, do you want to ask me this question?"

Sister Feng's expression was flat, and her voice was low, "In the eyes of everyone, helping your husband take concubines is justified. Although it's just a newlywed, I have already prepared for it. I think it's better to make it clear at once than to keep this in my heart. Be prepared, what attitude should I treat you from now on."

Gu Xingchi pulled her to his side, his eyes full of love and affection, "Why didn't you ask me about these worries earlier?"

She lowered her eyes, "What women are most afraid of is being said to be jealous, selfish, and narrow-minded. I don't want to be like a concubine and do such jealous things, and I don't want to be disgusted by everyone. I'm afraid that in the future someone will Pointing at my spine behind my back, saying that I am vicious and mean."

"Are you afraid of these?"

She was not afraid in her previous life, she knew what those servants were talking about her behind her back, she didn't care about it.She was just afraid that the masters in the house would think so, especially Gu Xingchi.Now that she is married, she will live here for the rest of her life. If she makes everyone hate her, it will be a sad life.

Thinking of this, she smiled lightly, "People's words are scary."

Gu Xingchi held her hand, "You think too much. Grandma is not the kind of person who likes to talk about people's rights and wrongs, and doesn't care about the affairs of the children and grandchildren's house. The third uncle has no son, and he has been guarding the three for so many years. My aunt alone, and my grandmother never proposed to take a concubine for my third uncle. As for my second aunt—" he sneered, "It's just that I'm jealous of the love between our husband and wife. , she is jealous of others, wishing that everyone is like her, husband and wife are divorced."

"Don't try to change the subject, you haven't answered what I want to ask."

"Your worry is completely unnecessary." His eyes were sincere and serious, "Since the day I decided to marry you, I have never thought that there will be other women, I have never thought about concubines, I only think about to be with you."

As he spoke, he took her into his arms and warned her in a low voice, "So, stop thinking about it, I don't want an extra person between us."

Sister Feng's heart trembled, and the corners of her lips curled up, but she still said: "You are talking nicely now, but it will take a long time, three to five years, ten years to eight years, 20 years to 30 years...you will still Do you say these words without hesitation? Can you guarantee that you will not change your original intention?"

What responded to her was a long silence, only his breathing echoed in her ears.

She meant to be tempted and joking, but she never thought that he would be silent, her heart tightened, and she said softly, "Master Hou?"

Just when she thought he wouldn't answer, Gu Xingchi tapped her on the head, "It's been so long, and you still call me like that, you should be punished."

Sister Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "I was just joking, you have been silent, I thought you were angry."

Gu Xingchi obviously didn't believe it, "Don't test me again, I can do what I say, otherwise, I will really get angry."

"......Yes."

I don't know what came to mind, Gu Xingchi looked up at the eaves, with a sad smile, "My mother... no, it should be the former Mrs. Jing'anhou. She said that she did many wrong things in her life, but The worst thing she did was to let down the sincerity of old Jing'anhou, even if she regretted it, it was useless. And old Jing'anhou, knowing that she agreed to marry him was a battle of wills, knowing that she had something in her heart and even There was no conspiracy, but he still pretended not to know, and he was still thinking about her until the last moment before he died. Even she thought he was too stupid. But so what, I only know that he has never regretted it, and that is enough. Loving someone is a lifetime thing, do you understand what I mean?"

She nodded, and her heart finally fell to the ground. In this case, she knew what to do.

At first, she only wanted to learn from her previous life, change her domineering and jealous temperament, and become a good wife and mother, but after all, this was not her deepest thought, it was just a decision made due to the situation.According to her temperament, she will still be unwilling.The reason why she had such a bad reputation in her previous life was because Jia Lian was lustful and she was jealous.But in this life, Gu Xingchi has made a promise. If so, she is not stupid, so why should she serve her husband with others?

She is not the kind of magnanimous and virtuous person in her bones, and she never wants to change her strength and dominance.

"Do you know what I would do to you if you hesitated just now?"

Gu Xingchi was taken aback for a moment: "Why did you treat me?"

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I won't do anything to you, but I will respect you as a guest from now on. At most, I will raise my eyebrows." Of course, at that time, she will use some means on him to prevent others from threatening her status.

Gu Xingchi was surprised: "It's so dangerous." He smiled, and after the corners of his lips were drawn little by little, the smile gradually enlarged, "So, now—"

Sister Feng went out of the room, went to a mahogany chair and sat down, and immediately a servant girl brought tea.Ping'er whispered in her ear: "Madam, everyone is here."

Sister Feng nodded slightly, and when she looked up, she saw that the yard was lined up and full of people, all of whom were from Yushengju.

Everyone greeted Sister Feng one after another. Sister Feng waved them to stand up, and then said with a smile: "Actually, I asked you to come here. It's not a big deal, but there are some trivial things to explain."

Her voice and eyes are very gentle, but people dare not look directly at her.Sister Feng put down the teacup, "There are not many people in our courtyard, and there are many people I have never seen before. I just took this opportunity to meet you. I am young, It’s not long since I’ve just been here, and I’m not familiar with many things, so please do your best to help me.”

Everyone knew that Sister Feng was just being polite, so they said 'dare not'.

Sitting upright, Sister Feng looked like a big lady, not calm like a woman of her age. "Now I'm taking over as the housekeeper. The old lady trusts me, so I will naturally try my best to take care of the Hou's mansion. But before that, I have to take care of our yard first."

"Actually, everyone knows a lot of things, so I won't point them out, of course, including the people I brought." As he spoke, Ruo Qing'er's eyes swept across Qing'er's face, "I'm not that kind of hearted person. The narrow and intolerant mistress, if Master Hou is willing, I will arrange it for him. However, I asked him yesterday, and he told me that Yushengju will only have one mistress, let alone an aunt. There will be no connecting rooms, so I want to hear what you think."

As soon as this remark came out, they all showed surprise, then disappointment, and some showed unwillingness.

Sister Feng had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, and said to Ping'er and the others: "You are the dowry girls I brought, so naturally I won't treat you badly, but now you have seen that Lord Hou didn't mean that. If you are willing , just stay by my side and wait on you. When you are old, I will choose a good son-in-law for you and marry you off. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. The government is."

As soon as the words were finished, Ping'er, Xiang'er, and Xiangling all knelt down and said bluntly that they only wanted to serve by Sister Feng's side and dared not have other thoughts.Qing'er didn't want to leave the mansion, so she could only kneel down, echoing Ping'er's words.

Sister Feng asked them to get up, looked down and said: "The rest of the people are the same. If they are old and want to leave the mansion, they will come to get the money and the body deed. If they don't want to, they can stay in the mansion. Only this An opportunity, if missed, will be lost in the future.”

Hearing this, some people are eager to move, while others are looking left and right, with some reluctance.

Sister Feng didn't urge her, and said slowly; "However, my ugly words are up front. If you are willing to stay, just do things honestly. Naturally, I won't treat you badly. But if you have crooked thoughts, don't blame me for not being able to tolerate you. .”

The courtyard was extremely silent, and gradually some people began to whisper, prying each other's thoughts.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. We did not make a mistake, so why are we kicked out? It's not fair!" The voice was as clear as a yellow warbler out of the valley, but it appeared very abruptly.

Moreover, she was brightly dressed and had a good complexion. Sister Feng saw her at a glance.

Grandma Sun is the nanny in charge of Yushengju, and she knows the people in the yard like the back of the palm of her hand.She whispered to Sister Feng: "Her name is Mo Nong, and her biological father is the guard of the old Hou Ye. Once he blocked a knife for the old Hou Ye and lost his life. The old Hou Ye is kind and treats his daughter very kindly. It's just cleaning the study. But Lord Hou is not in the capital most of the time, and when he returned to Beijing later, it's just that she takes care of the pen and ink occasionally."

Grandma Sun couldn't understand Mo Nong's behavior, and said: "She thought that she was different from others, and she could climb high branches in the future, flaunting her head all day long, looking at no one. In fact, Master Hou didn't say a few words to her. talk."

Sister Feng nodded, that's why.Forget it, since she is willing to be the leader, let her play a role.

"Oh, so you are Mo Nong."

Mo Nong thought that Sister Feng was afraid, so she looked very proud.

"What do you want to say?"

Mo Nong raised his chin and said, "Madam took the initiative to drive us away, but did you ever ask Lord Hou, after all, we are from Yushengju, and we have served Lord Hou for a long time..."

"Mo Nong." Sister Feng put down the tea lid, and there was a crisp sound.She still looked at Mo Nong with a smile, but a chill emanated from her body.

Mo Nong was inexplicably guilty, but he still had the courage to look at Sister Feng.

"Since you have been in the Hou's Mansion for a long time, you should know the rules of the Hou's Mansion. I don't know, when will it be the turn of a girl to make the master's decision?"

Mo Nong was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, "I didn't, I just wanted to say..."

"Oh, so the servants are free to contradict what the master says? Nanny Sun, so this is the rule of the Hou Mansion?" Sister Feng's eyes were cold.

Nanny Sun panicked, pointed at Mo Nong, and said angrily: "Bold, who gave you the courage to talk to Madam like this, and still kowtow to Madam to admit her mistake!"

"I……"

Sister Feng reminded lightly, "You should call yourself 'servant'."

"Ma'am, I... no, this servant has no such intentions." Mo Nong was anxious and annoyed, and also somewhat regretful, "The servant is just... just..."

Sister Feng said indifferently, "You are just relying on the fact that you have been in the mansion for a long time, and you are used to domineering, so you don't take me seriously. In order to avoid imitating others, it is better to punish others, and you can also serve as an example."

After saying that, someone pulled Mo Nong aside.

Mo Nong panicked and shouted: "Madam, you can't treat me like this, my father saved the old Hou Ye!"

Sister Feng smiled sarcastically, "I brought up the matter of Chen Zhima's rotten millet again, trying to threaten me with it. If you think you can make me afraid of you, then you are wrong. I hate being threatened the most. To be honest, Who your father is has nothing to do with me. I just want to tell you that even if your father sacrificed his life to save others, it doesn't matter. He is the guard of the old marquis. It is his responsibility to protect the old marquis, not for you to blackmail him for revenge. The capital. The old Hou Ye was benevolent, buried your father generously, treated his family well, and took good care of you. If it were someone else, he would have sent a sum of money, and would never help your family like this. But you So you forgot your own identity, thinking that you are different from others, so you can contradict me, who gave you the courage to do so?"

Ignoring Mo Nong's resentful eyes, Sister Feng waved her hand, "Take her down, hit thirty boards, and give her another job, she won't be needed here in the study."

Hearing Mo Nong's screams, Sister Feng said again: "Wait a minute." She pointed to Qing'er, "You also go and have a look, it's hard to count, if you don't hit thirty boards, don't stop."

Qing'er shivered, "Yes, ma'am."

After seeing Mo Nong's fate, even if he was unconvinced, he dared not speak up.

Sister Feng smiled and said: "You can leave if you want, stay if you want, I will never force you, I just remind you. I will not make things difficult for you, I just want to be loyal."

After saying that, she stood up, "If you want to leave the mansion, go to Ping'er to register your name, and if you want to stay, go to Xiang'er to receive the reward."

Seeing Sister Feng enter the room, everyone wiped off their sweat. They didn't expect the new lady to be so decisive at such a young age. She couldn't complain even if she slapped her and gave her a sweet date.Seeing Xiang'er divide the money again, there is only joy left.
