Liu Hong looked like a pig's head and stumbled back to the Yongjing Marquis Mansion.

Mrs. Hou was eating.

The Yongjing Marquis Mansion has declined, and the mansion has long been stretched.

But Mrs. Hou always remembered how majestic her mother-in-law was and how extravagant she was back then, and when she finally survived her mother-in-law and became the head of the Hou Mansion, she was even more pompous than her mother-in-law back then.

She didn't want to think about it, the old Yongjing Marquis was an important minister of the first emperor, and the first marquis's wife was the county monarch of the county king's family.

The husband and wife of the family, the husband has the ability, the wife has the status, and they don't rely on the Hou Mansion at all, and they can afford to live a luxurious life on their own.

But what about her and the current Marquis Yongjing, one of her mother's family is ruined, she doesn't know how to operate, and the other doesn't do anything and can only get a false job.

After twenty or thirty years, although it is not yet to the point of selling the sacrificial field, it has begun to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

In the past ten years, Liu Hong has become the master, and with the subsidy of the eldest princess of Yi'an, a royal noblewoman with a pit, the Liu family has not completely decayed.

In the face of the decline of the Hou Mansion, the two Yongjing Hou not only did not worry and did not want to find a way to improve, but continued to be drunk and dreamed of death.

It is estimated that they were spoiled by the eldest princess, and felt that with such a well-behaved and filial daughter-in-law, the Yongjing Marquis Mansion could prosper for decades.

As for a few decades later, hehe, they have long since turned into a pile of white bones, and the people are gone, who cares about the flood behind them?!

What posterity is far less real than your own pleasure!

Especially Mrs. Hou's Mei family, the decline of her mother's family made her have a kind of sick self-esteem, as if only she was more extravagant could show her status as Mrs. Hou, and only then could others forget the embarrassment of the Mei family.

And Mei's pomp and circumstance is particularly obvious when she eats.

There are dozens of delicate dishes on the table, and an ordinary-looking stir-fried greens is also cooked with dozens of chickens as an ingredient.

As for those more expensive ingredients, they are even more common at her dinner table.

To put it mildly, even if you are not afraid of overstepping the rules, it is not as delicate as Mei's.

The meal was ready, and Mei was surrounded by a group of people and came to the main seat.

In addition to Liu Hong, Mei also has two sons.

In addition to the sons of his relatives, the Marquis of Yongjing also has three or five concubines, and these concubines have spread out for the Hou Mansion.

The sum of the concubines and concubines was twelve or thirteen.

The concubine has been casually married off by the Mei family, and several older concubines have also married wives and had children.

Today, there are eight daughters-in-law under Mei's name.

Aside from the eldest princess who lived in the princess's mansion next door, there were also seven people standing by Mei's side to serve at this time.

These seven daughters-in-law stood on both sides of Mei's in a regular manner.

They take the handkerchief, the mouthwash cup they take, and the teacup they serve...... Of course, these people who do heavy work are all concubines and daughters-in-law.

And Mei's two daughters-in-law surrounded Mei's left and right, one holding the best ivory chopsticks in his hand, and the other holding a silver spoon in his hand, methodically making up for Mei's food.

In fact, Mei's has no shortage of maids and mothers-in-law, but she just enjoys the feeling of being served by her daughter-in-law.

Especially on the fifteenth day of the first month of every month, the eldest daughter-in-law of the royal princess will come to serve her with a meal, which makes her vanity get the greatest satisfaction!

"Mother, this is okra sent from Zhuangzi yesterday, it is the first crop, and the capital is almost the first one. ”

The second daughter-in-law added a chopsticks okra, gently put it on the plate in front of Mei, and said softly.

And the "Zhuangzi" she mentioned is not the grange of the Yongjing Marquis Mansion, but the imperial village where the eldest princess marries.

The eldest princess was filial to her in-laws, so she asked the people in Zhuangzi to regularly send the freshest and rarest fruits and vegetables to the Yongjing Marquis Mansion.

Mei likes those fruits and vegetables very much, delicious is one thing, and the most important thing is to have face.

"My sister-in-law is so filial, she even thinks about her mother for a vegetable. ”

When a certain daughter-in-law heard this, she was busy laughing and patting her ass.

The eighth daughter-in-law, that is, the bride married by Mei's favorite young son, although she has just passed the door for less than two years, she knows Mei's better than this sister-in-law.

She scooped a spoonful of ginseng black chicken soup with a silver spoon, carefully sent it to Mei's mouth, watched Mei's take a sip, and then said with a smile, "I see, my mother can regulate people, and my sister-in-law is filial, but my mother is good at conditioning." ”

If this is changed in other people's homes, such a behavior of belittling a noble-born daughter-in-law and only exalting her mother-in-law will definitely cause trouble for the family.

But in the Liu family, it is very common.

This sweet mouth can coax the eighth young grandmother, even in front of the eldest princess, she dares to say this.

In fact, she did say it vaguely, but the eldest princess was not only annoyed, but had a proud expression on her face.

That look, it is the eighth young grandmother, and she can't help but despise it in her heart: Phew, it's still a royal princess, for a man, she is so willing to be cheap.

It's a real loss of royal face.

If she has such a daughter, she has to be beaten to death, so as not to keep her and embarrass the family!

In fact, not only the eighth young grandmother, but also the daughters-in-law of the Liu family, none of them can afford the eldest princess.

No, hearing what the eighth young grandmother said, the second young grandmother also echoed, "No, it's still the mother who can regulate people, mother, you have to teach us well in the future." ”

Mei was praised by the daughters-in-law of the two in-laws, and her heart was already happy, but she insisted on a reserved smile on her face.

Seeing this, the other concubines' daughters-in-law also hurriedly and desperately touted it.

They learned from the appearance of the two daughters-in-law, and while touting the Mei family, they did not forget to step on the eldest princess a few times.

The smile on Mei's face grew brighter.

The room burst into laughter.

At this moment, Liu Hong came in.

When he entered the door, he happened to be seen by the maid who served at the door and in the room, and the gasps and exclamations came and went.

"Oh my God, Lord Shizi, what's wrong with you?"

"Lord Shizi, your face?"

"Madam, it's no good, the prince was beaten!"

"Which daring dog thief dares to beat the prince of our Yongjing Mansion?

The shouts of the maid finally attracted the attention of the ladies in the house.

Mei frowned, but she was particular about her identity and refused to ask questions in person.

As Mei's most intimate daughter-in-law, the eighth young grandmother naturally took the lead in speaking: "What's going on outside? Why are there no rules like this?"

Before the little maid outside could run in to reply, Liu Hong broke in with a red and swollen face.

His cheeks bulged high, and there were still blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

"Hong'er, what's wrong with you, you?"

Mei was taken aback, and no longer bothered to maintain any noble posture, and screamed.

"Mother, eldest princess, it's the eldest princess—"

Liu Hong finally saw his mother, and immediately like an aggrieved child, he rushed to Mei's side, hugged her thighs and cried......
