Mrs. Hou waited for them to go away, then took a sip of the teacup and looked at Chen with a smile: "Yuhe, this child, is worthy of being the daughter raised by the first rich family in Yanzhou City, and she acts magnificently, no worse than the girls of our Gonghou family." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chen smiled: "You like her, it's her creation, don't boast." ”

Mrs. Hou wanted to boast, and mentioned who and whose daughter, very bad, not Aunt Weng, etc., Chen thought that he was going to talk about the topic before he took Fang Yuhe and them, but he didn't wait for a long time, but he couldn't take the initiative to mention it, after all, he didn't propose it positively, so he could only play haha and talk to a few noble ladies about the headdress, patterns or something.

In the backyard here, Fang Yuyan couldn't find a place to sprinkle his stomach in the end, and when he was eating tea, he accidentally knocked over the tea on Fang Yuting's skirt. She has always been used to being arrogant, and she didn't take Fang Yuting's anger in her eyes at all.

Zhou explained two sentences, Fang Yuyan was already aggrieved and cried, in the eyes of others, Fang Yuting was even more wronged, but she was so good-tempered, although anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was holding back her anger, but she did not have a seizure after all.

Fang Yuhe couldn't stand it a little, so she got up and ordered a little girl to take Fang Yuting to the guest room to change her clothes.

Fang Yuting said with a smile: "When I came, I prepared a change of clothes, just in case of emergency, I don't need to bother the eldest sister, I will take the girl to get it myself." ”

Zhou said with a smile: "Don't bother with aunts and grandmothers, girls like us come out, how can we be unprepared, I will accompany my second sister to go on a trip." ”

He Jiaxian secretly said that he was really exquisite, he was a guest and didn't stay overnight, and he brought clothes, so he listened to Fang Yuting politely: "Thank you, sister-in-law." He Jiaxian secretly said that if it was really Yuting who married to the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion was blessed and had a good daughter-in-law.

As soon as Fang Yuting left, Fang Yuyan was silent, it was not good to speak out for the sake of relatives. Zhou smiled and said: "Don't be angry, let people see it, and think we beat you!"

As soon as she explained, everyone laughed, and the nurse brought Brother Han in to say goodbye, and everyone was very happy with her milky voice, and the atmosphere was a lot lively.

In the flower hall, Mrs. Hou was still talking about Xila after talking for a while, Chen finally couldn't hold her breath, and when a lady praised her daughters for being bright and moving, she said with a polite smile: "Sister said that she laughed, if you talk about appearance, how can people like us compare to the ladies of Zhong Mingding's family? She covered her mouth: "It's not a secret, since Yuhe married in, I can't sleep at night, although Gao Pan is good, but my mother's heart can't let go." ”

The noble lady smiled: "So, do you dislike your in-laws?"

Chen Zheng needed this talk, and hurriedly answered modestly: "I don't dare to dislike it, it's just that the ancients said that it is still very right to be a good person, Yuhe can live well, I am already grateful to Dade, and the other daughters are still good at marrying a solid family in their own right, and I don't dare to think of good luck like Yuhe." ”

When Mrs. Hou heard her words here, she probably understood, and answered with a polite smile: "What if you have such good luck." ”

Chen didn't want to fight her, so he said with a forced smile: "Probably not, Yuting has already fallen in love with someone, and she will make up her mind in a few days......"

Mrs. Hou didn't expect such a thing, and when she said this, there was no need to shy away from anything, and said straight to the point: "I look at that girl very well, I don't know which family's son I am talking about, I haven't heard of it some time ago, so fast...... Let's talk about it, let's listen to it and help judge it......"

When Chen came, he thought about it, if Mrs. Hou was aggressive, she would directly say that Yuting had promised someone. The concubine of the Hou Mansion is already eighteen, that is, Yuting is the most suitable age, as long as she pushes this one over, everything will be fine.

Seeing that Mrs. Hou believed her words, Chen said with a smile: "Yes, I have been looking at each other before, if I didn't want to find a good one, where would I delay her for so long, but now I can be regarded as a bit eyebrow-raising." ”

Mrs. Hou was thoughtful, and only said after a while: "I haven't made up my mind yet." ”

Chen answered: "No, but eight or nine is not far from ten." "That's how the words are dead.

Mrs. Hou's graceful and noble smiling face finally collapsed, and she saw Chen's happiness for a while, and secretly said in her heart that she must marry Fang Yuting as soon as she goes back.

A noble lady on the side was puzzled: "In that case, the second lady has not officially made up her mind, and there are several younger young ladies who have not made up their minds." ”

Chen smiled and said, "This is natural. Although we are merchants, we still understand the rules and etiquette, and we are orderly ......."

The noble lady on the side smiled: "Then you have to worry about it more." ”

Chen was about to answer, but Mrs. Hou had already been on-demand, got up and walked in front of Chen, took her hand very affectionately, and did not shy away from it: "Don't hide it from my in-laws, I invited a few young ladies over this time, and I really had the intention of being happy and happy." ”

As soon as Chen heard that she was going to mention it again, he hurriedly got up and excused himself: "Don't dare, don't dare to ......"

Mrs. Hou said: "I just saw that although the second miss is not bad, the third miss is also knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. ”

Chen didn't expect the topic to go around and around, but instead brought Fang Yuyan in. In fact, when Fang Yuyan came to beg her yesterday, she thought that if she really couldn't shirk it, Yuyan could do it, although she was younger, it didn't mean that it was impossible.

It's really urgent, she would rather marry Yuyan. First, Yuyan listens to her, and she can assist Yuhe, and second, she can give her the dowry to take care of, and it will not fall into the hands of Mrs. Hou.

Therefore, although Fang Yuyan mentioned that marriage was not in a proper manner yesterday, she left a voice in and out of her words, and did not say anything to death, but just said that if someone married in, Fang Yuting would be impossible.

She still hoped that Mrs. Hou would not continue to fight the Fang family's girl. After all, no matter how clever she is, if Master Fang and Master Hou were at the banquet at the beginning, if they were really listened to by someone with a heart, they would really talk about marriage and have the intention of cooperating. Speaking of which, it is their family that is at fault.

Chen Shi thought of what he had just said that Fang Yuyan and the others had not yet allowed people, and couldn't help but hate to bite off their tongues, but after a while, they were relieved, thinking of how the Hou Mansion was defeated, in addition to asking for silver, power and decency were still among the best in Yanzhou City, so he smiled and said: "Since Mrs. Hou is interested, it might as well be a good thing." ”

Mrs. Hou immediately smiled on her face, and became more and more affectionate: "Why don't you invite the third lady to come over for tea and talk a few words with our old women." ”

This is to take a serious look at each other.

Chen Shi agreed after a little hesitation, but the hand holding the handkerchief hated to tear Mrs. Hou apart, so he could only endure himself at this moment and ordered someone to invite Fang Yuyan.

Fang Yuyan was overjoyed, hurriedly cleaned her face again and applied makeup, walked over gracefully, and saluted several ladies one by one.

Mrs. Hou took her hand, looked up and down for a while, did not hide her affection at all, and pushed a green and transparent bracelet on her wrist to Fang Yuyan's arm before returning to her position with a smile.

The Chen family had to accept it, and before he came, Master Fang had told him that if Mrs. Hou insisted, she must agree to the marriage, and the dowry compensation of tens of thousands of taels of silver was a small matter, and she could not have a bad relationship with the Hou Mansion. After all, the Fang family is just a businessman, and the old marquis no longer has real power, and those officials also have to give some face, and when the time comes, as long as they get a little card and a joint, the Fang family's business will not be smooth.

How did Chen not understand the truth of this, Mrs. Hou never mentioned it, she couldn't hold her breath and mentioned it first, and if she lost the first hand, she fell into the trap of others. I felt remorseful in my heart, but I could only pretend to be light, pulled Fang Yuyan's hand, stood beside him, and said with a smile: "It's not the first time you've come to the Hou Mansion, but you still like it here?"

Fang Yuyan didn't understand anything, she only smiled with a red face, Chen didn't say it clearly, she couldn't answer too clearly, and only said softly: "It's all stained with the light of the eldest sister." ”

Mrs. Hou boasted: "It's really sensible." ”

Chen thought of Fang Yuyan's domineering attitude when she was at home, and secretly said that Mrs. Hou only wanted the silver she represented, and she didn't care if the girl knew how to do it, but she couldn't pierce it, so she could only hold her breath.

Several noble ladies gaged and laughed, but the voice was unclear, Fang Yuyan knew that he had finally decided on himself, so he obediently helped to add tea and pour water on the side, so he was not clever.

A servant woman hurriedly ran over, her face full of panic, and she saluted Mrs. Hou before she had time: "Madam, it's not good." ”

"What's the hurry!" Madame Hou was also very happy when she got this happy event, and scolded the servant woman.

The servant woman was startled, but she didn't dare to delay: "The second miss of the Fang family fell into the water......

"What?" Chen stood up in fright, nervous. I don't know, I thought Fang Yuting was her own.

"Are you hurt, how are you doing now?" Chen asked.

The servant woman's face was suspicious, but she couldn't answer, so she only approached Mrs. Hou and whispered to the grandmother who was waiting with her. Mama was also shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly whispered to Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Hou hurriedly pulled out her feet and left: "Hurry up! Don't make a noise first, block the news for me, whoever says it will die!"

The servant woman agreed in quick succession. Mrs. Hou hurriedly walked to Chen's side and whispered, "I'm afraid that this matter can't be good, let's go and take a look first." ”

Chen's heart became more and more frightened, and before she could ask, Mrs. Hou had already left her and walked away.

When He Jiaxian and others received the news, they were teasing Brother Han to play the Nine Links.

A girl came to report, Fang Yuhe didn't say what was the matter, and went out in a hurry, not long after, several mothers-in-law carried small soft pockets, Fang Yuting hid in Ruxiang's arms and shivered coldly, the thin shirt on her body had been exposed to the curves of her body, and she was wearing a men's coat.

Another man followed the crowd to the courtyard from a distance, until Fang Yuhe ordered someone to wrap Fang Yuting with a quilt and carry him back to the guest room, the man stood outside the courtyard gate and did not come in, only glanced at this side from a distance, but it seemed that someone had cast a soul fixing spell and was fixed there.

He Jiaxian only felt that someone was staring at him, and when he looked up, there was no one except for a strange man, so he had to dispel the doubts in his heart and go with everyone to settle Fang Yuting.

Rue Xiang was already frightened: "Miss wanted to find a place to change clothes, who knew that she got lost and walked into the garden, and fell into the pond as soon as her feet slipped, and the slave was scared half to death, and exclaimed loudly, the one just now ...... I don't know who it is, so I jumped into the pond and scooped up the second lady......"

Over there, Fang Yuting was in okay condition, but she also invited the imperial doctor to come and come in with Mrs. Hou and Chen. After diagnosing the pulse, there was no big problem, in the end, I was glad that my life was saved, and when I saw Chen, Fang Yuting cried and told me all about the matter, which was about the same as what Rue Xiang said.

Chen already knew it in his heart when he came, and he was already half angry at the moment, and he couldn't wait to kill Fang Yuting on the spot. Due to Mrs. Hou's presence, she could only whisper: "It's okay, you can raise it first." ”

Mrs. Hou pulled Chen to the side of the main room and sat down, and then withdrew the people who were waiting on both sides, before she said seriously: "Now it's like this, you see ......."

How can the Chen family not understand, just now when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, the man who saved people saluted when he saw Mrs. Hou and called him "Mother", it must be Xiao Jin'an, the concubine of the Hou Mansion.

It is said that it was born to a bride maid with an open face next to Mrs. Hou, who died in childbirth, and has been raised under Mrs. Hou's knees, and her feelings are deep.

After figuring out this joint, I was just full of hatred in my heart, where was I willing to accept Mrs. Hou's words.

Mrs. Hou smiled and said: "This matter is not what you and I want, fortunately, the second lady has not yet made up her mind, and there is still room for things to turn around......

Chen muttered reluctantly: "But the other party has seen each other......"

Mrs. Hou was a little unhappy: "The matter has come to this point, how can I come back, An'er saved the second miss, and she is still holding her in her arms so far, staring at so many pairs of eyes up and down, can't I kill it......" She said angrily: "If you don't want to, I won't force it, but as a mother, I can't help but feel a little sorry for the second miss." It's bad for the reputation like this, our family doesn't care, An'er is a man after all, and there is a reason for it, it's just the second miss, I'm afraid of ......"

She got up and was about to go out: "It's hard for you to be a mother's heart." ”

Chen's eyes were red with anger, as the housewife, the most taboo for others to say that they treated their concubines and concubines harshly, which is simply synonymous with viciousness. Hurriedly got up and sighed with a smile: "I don't want to be a good girl, but it's just that it's not decent......"

Mrs. Hou was still angry: "Your Fang family wants to be decent, and our Hou Mansion doesn't want it?" The best of both worlds, you are reluctant, do you want others to poke our An'er's backbone......

Chen was afraid of Mrs. Hou in the end, so he was three knots shorter in momentum, so he could only grin: "I can only do this." ”

Mrs. Hou was overjoyed at this time, and said with some happiness: "It's good that I didn't explain it to the third lady, let's find a way to get through." ”

Fang Yuhe glanced at her when she saw Chen coming out, Chen's face was like ashes, and she didn't see it at all, she just smiled and talked to Mrs. Hou.

After staying up until noon and eating, the Chen family seemed to regain their vitality again, smiling on the table, and the rest of the people did not know what to do, but the flattering Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Gangui were very happy.
