Chapter 256: The Beginning of the Contradiction
"Yes, follow Madame's teachings." It is necessary to lower her posture, and it is not her usual style to be tough.
"Actually, when I came here today, I also pleaded guilty to my wife."
"Oh? How so? Madame Bai raised her eyebrows and asked.
Aunt Luo's eyes lit up, and Aunt Xu sat on the other side and said, "So there is a suspicion!" ”
"It is unrighteous for him to go out without telling his wife beforehand."
"Let my wife worry about me, it's unfilial."
"I knew that the general was thinking about the first lady in his heart, but he didn't go to pay his respects for a long time. Knowing that Mrs. treats the general as her own, it is unkind to still mention this matter. ”
"I have committed all kinds of mistakes, and my sins are unforgivable, and I ask my wife to punish me." She said that she was about to bow down, but Mrs. Bai was willing to take her hand first, and said kindly: "It's all a family, you don't have to be so formal." Yao'er's mother is my own sister, if you go to fulfill your filial piety, how can I stop it? It's just that the Hou family has a big business, and it is inevitable that there will be negligence, you went out without permission, and you never took leave, and even Yao'er was with you, but it was not right to go to danger. ”
Lin Fangyu listened, as if she had no intention of reproaching, and became even more puzzled. Seeing that Mrs. Bai was still talking to her warmly and kindly, she was not embarrassed, let alone vicious. She thought that the previous time, Madam Bai inexplicably asked a concubine to come over, probably because of her normal reaction as a mother.
Speaking of concubines, Lin Fangyu thought of Xiang Ying, not to mention when at this time?
"About the matter of taking a concubine for the general...... "Although it is a little presumptuous, but it is the best time, firstly, Mrs. Bai seems to be in a good mood, and secondly, Xiangying is also in her yard, and she is the hostess of the Hou Mansion, so it is normal to settle people.
Aunt Xu's body moved.
Mrs. Bai smiled: "It's also me who is too anxious as a mother-in-law, you and Yao'er have only been married for a month, and you will be a mother in the future." You know what it's like to be a parent. ”
Lin Fangyu couldn't answer, so she listened to Aunt Luo: "You are really blessed to be able to meet a mother-in-law like Mrs. ”
Soon after, someone came to report that the second young master had returned home, because he was too tired, he had already gone to sleep after washing, and he would only come back for dinner.
Hearing that her son was back, Mrs. Bai smiled even more: "Don't mention this matter again in the future, you accompany me to talk, and after half of the incense, the Hou Ye should also come back." ”
Lin Fangyu was worried about the situation over there in Bai Xiaoyao, and wanted to go back to the room to wait for news, but Mrs. Bai didn't let go, so she had to sit helplessly and listen to their gossip.
said that it was chatting, most of the time it was Aunt Luo talking, and Mrs. Bai occasionally smiled, interspersed with Aunt Xu's cynicism. Lin Fangyu sat on the side, echoing appropriately, neither expressing her opinion nor taking the initiative to talk.
Half an hour later, Yongsheng Hou came back from outside, dressed in military uniform, and his figure was agile. Lin Fangyu felt that this was also a weird person, who loved to ignore everyone, and had a tense face all day long, which was very different from Bai Xiaoyao's hippie smiling face, and Bai Xiaoyi's heart was very different from everyone. Sometimes she wonders, has Yongsheng Hou been like this for many years? Then his two sons are both genetic mutations?
Dinner was quickly prepared, and the people from the palace in the middle came to spread the word, convinced that Bai Xiaoyao was still alive, and Lin Fangyu was also relieved, so that he had the strength and spirit to deal with the topic that Aunt Luo would never talk about and Aunt Xu's bitterness from time to time.
Bai Xiaoyi did not appear at the dinner table as she expected, and when she learned that Bauhinia also came back with Bai Xiaoyao, Lin Fangyu was unfettered and began to feast at the dinner table.
There are not many rules in the Hou Mansion, so when there are no guests, the aunts are also qualified to sit together, of course, the premise is to serve the housewife first. Today, with Lin Fangyu here, Mrs. Bai seemed to be deliberately testing her, so she didn't let her aunt serve.
Lin Fangyu generously prepared vegetables for Mrs. Bai, these things, she often did in the Guogong Mansion in her previous life, and there was no technical content at all.
"Where did Yao'er go?" Yong Shenghou asked.
"I'm still in the palace at this time!" Madame Bai replied with a smile.
Lin Fangyu was silent, and she was still scooping soup for Mrs. Bai in her hand. Didn't someone report it not so long ago? Isn't it necessary that Yongsheng Hou has amnesia?
Yongsheng Hou put the chopsticks down, his eyes were staring at the food, but you could feel the majesty, only to hear him say: "Now that Yao'er has also married, you can prepare the things to be used for the attack, and the list of banquets, after it is drawn up, you will also give me a copy." ”
Not only Madame Bai, but also Lin Fangyu was stunned, Marquis Yongsheng wanted to pass the title to Bai Xiaoyao? Although this is a certainty, it does not have to be so early, and there are not many votes against it? Could it be that the Marquis of Yongsheng wants to ignore them all?
"The things that were prepared three years ago were all burned in the fire, and now they are going to be prepared, and they must be brand new, will the time be a little rushed?" Madame Bai asked tentatively, she looked at Yongsheng Hou, and said gently: "And this matter has always left a shadow on Yao'er, is it ...... wait for him to be older?"
"He has already established a family, how can he not attack the knighthood?" Yongsheng Hou was a little annoyed, and the beard on his chin shook: "Besides, my Hou Mansion disciples, are they those rabble who can't withstand the wind and waves?" ”
One sentence blocked all the other words of Madam Bai, Lin Fangyu was secretly frightened, it turned out that Yongsheng Hou was so temperamental! From this point of view, Bai Xiaoyao was quite polite to her.
She patted her chest in shock, and Madam Bai said again: "In this case, the concubine body should be as fast as possible, which can be regarded as another good thing for our Hou Mansion." ”
The more Mrs. Bai was so compromised, the more Yongshenghou felt aggrieved, and when she remembered that she had worked hard for many years, there was no merit and hard work, and there was an obedient, sensible and filial son, Yongshenghou's temper was also restrained: "Yi'er is also older." ”
Mrs. Bai was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Master Hou, you forgot, Yi'er was born on the day when Yao'er caught Zhou, and he was exactly one year younger than Yao'er. ”
The past is vivid, and as soon as Mrs. Bai talks about it, it will be endless, and Yongsheng Hou unconsciously interrupted: "Yi'er, this child, is not like me, but it is the same as Yao'er." ”
"Yes, as the saying goes, fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers!" Madam Bai smiled so much that her eyebrows and eyes were crooked: "He has often been away from home all these years. This time I finally came back, and the concubine thought about it, should it be time to settle Yi'er's family affairs? ”
Yongshenghou didn't speak, he moved his eyelids, as if to say, so what?
Madame Bai said: "The quiet county lord of King Ning's Mansion is the right age for our Yi'er, and the concubine secretly went to inquire, and Princess Ning is also interested in marrying." ”
Lin Fangyu rolled her eyes, where is this intentional, it is clear that the mothers on both sides sat down to talk, made a verbal agreement, and went back to each of them to symbolically say to their respective husbands and it was over, anyway, the man didn't pay much attention to these things.
"Look at the arrangement!" Yongsheng Hou closed the coffin.
