"It was ordered by Gongzi Zhou, Miss Su should come with me."

Furui has been a home in the Hou Mansion for 20 years, and now there is a two-entry house on the back street of the Hou Mansion, and the family is full of girls and girls, and it looks like it is only a solid and wealthy home.

Su Ke was taken to the main house in the backyard, sat down on the side of the kang with his front foot, and followed by Furui's family with his back foot. "This is Miss Su that Zhou Gongzi said?" Furui's family stepped forward to look at Su Ke, and then nodded to Furui on the other side of the kang table, "It's a Peugeot, no wonder Zhou Gongzi opened this mouth." ”

Furui didn't say anything, he blew the floating leaves on the tea cup, took a sip, and looked at Su Ke slowly, "What Zhou Gongzi means is that Miss Su entered the house in the name of my relative, and was only released from the palace last year, and stayed in the suburbs of Beijing for a year. In this way, you can save a lot of trouble, and it is easier to enter the house. ”

Compared with the enthusiasm in the gatehouse just now, Furui at this moment was much colder, and his gestures showed a lofty posture.

Su Ke understood very well that the "confession" just now was for the concierge to see, and it was ordered by Gongzi Zhou. At this moment, the "recognition of relatives" was installed by Furui according to her instructions, and Furui, as the chief manager of the Hou Mansion, even if he is a true relative, he is not able to climb up to it. Therefore, she needs to be grateful for this kindness, and she will know the gratitude in the future.

On a more important note, Fury seems to know a lot about it. Maybe even Qin Huai knows something.

Su Ke gathered his mind, got down from the edge of the kang, and gave Fu Ruifu a salute in a dignified manner, "Zhou Gongzi is kind to me, and the head of Fu University is also kind to me, Su Ke kept it in mind, and after entering the mansion, he was cautious in his words and deeds, and never caused trouble to the two of them." ”

When Fu Rui saw Su Kefu's posture, he knew that she came out of the palace and was unconventional. And her words also show that she is a person who understands the rules, which is good.

The Furui family squatted for a long time, and stepped forward to help Su Ke up, "Where did you say this, put aside the kindness or not kindness, and everyone will help each other in the house in the future." After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Fury again, "You hurry back to the house, I am here, and I will take the girl in later in the hour." ”

When Fury saw Su Ke, his heart settled a little, so he got up and went back to the front.

Furui's family turned around and sat in Furui's position just now, and added tea to Su Ke, with a smile in his eyebrows.

It turns out that Hou Ye likes this look.

Her smile grew, "Sit down for a while, at this hour, the masters in the mansion are all asking the old lady to speak, and the third lady will resign early and listen to the housekeepers and mothers-in-law in the flower hall." It's all done, at least until it's time for the meal. Let's set off at the beginning, first go to the old lady to say goodbye, and then go to the third lady to talk back. ”

Su Ke responded obediently, but then became puzzled, "The third wife is in charge?" What about Mrs. Hou? ”

The Furui family pursed their lips and smiled, "The Hou Ye has not married yet, and he doesn't even have a concubine, so the third wife will preside over the middle feed in the house." ”

Su Ke flickered and didn't dare to say more. In fact, she didn't have much contact with the concubine Niangniang, and the affairs of the concubine's family only listened to the palace people around her to mention it, and most of them didn't take it to heart. Besides, Hou Ye has been fighting all these years, and he really doesn't know if he is married or not.

After all, who would have thought that one day it would be related to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

Seeing this, the Furui family folded their hands and said to her: "Although the girl has been in the palace for a long time, she should know something about the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, but I still chatter with the girl, and the girl has a bottom in her heart, and when she arrives at the Hou Mansion, she will know who she sees and what to say." ”

Hearing this, Su Ke nodded his head in thanks.

The title of Marquis of Xuanping is already the fourth generation here to Shao Linghang, and the first generation is to follow the ancestors to fight the country, and the Marquis of Xuanping was awarded according to military merits, and the hereditary replacement.

The old marquis died seven years ago, just after his fiftieth birthday, a cold caused an old illness, and he lay in bed for two months before he died. Shao Linghang inherited the title as the prince, and was supposed to return to Nanjing to guard filial piety for three years, but in the second half of the third year, he led the troops to the north to fight, and the war lasted for four years, and he just came back at the beginning of this year, and was promoted from General Zhaoyong to General Zhaoyi.

"Then the Hou Ye has to have a ...... this year" Su Ke searched in his memory, the concubine in the palace is already thirty-six this year, so why does the Hou Ye have to live the year of establishment. Haven't married yet?!

The Furui family picked their eyes and leaned over, "Master Hou is fifty out of twenty this year." ”

"Only twenty-five?" Su Ke had never seen the Hou Ye, he only knew that he had led the troops to fight, and the concubine personally recommended him to the emperor.

At that time, the concubine was still a virtuous concubine, and she was able to rise to the position of the concubine, first, because she gave birth to the Nine Emperor Princes, and secondly, because this younger brother frequently won victories in the north.

But I never thought that Hou Ye would be so young.

The Furui family straightened their backs, "These sons of the princes who grew up with the Hou Ye, which one of them is not a gentleman now, only the Hou Ye earned military merits at a young age, and he did not embarrass the old Hou Ye." "It's a matter of honor.

When Su Ke heard this, his mind immediately flashed the voice and smile of Zhou Gongzi.

Gentleness. Rebellious. Cold. Overbearing.

I don't know if Master Hou knows what Zhou Gongzi did. Stuff her into the Hou Mansion, is the Hou Ye willing?

"Rest assured, girl, although Master Hou is young and decisively kills on the battlefield, in fact, people are still very good in private, and he treats his subordinates very kindly." Seeing Su Ke's worried face, the Furui family hurriedly comforted her, and then began to talk about the existing personnel of the Hou Mansion.

The old marquis has a total of three sons and two daughters, the eldest aunt, the second aunt and the fifth-ranked Hou Ye were all born to Mrs. Shao Tang, and they were born to the grandmother. The third master was born to the aunt Zheng, and the fourth master was born to the aunt Gao.

The eldest aunt and grandmother Shao Lingxi married the prince of Liguo, and now she is in charge of a mansion, with two sons and a daughter under her knees, and the eldest son was married last year.

The second aunt and grandmother Shao Linghan is now the noble concubine, with four princesses and nine princes.

The third master, Shao Lingxing, is now a member of the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry from Liupin, and is married to Huang Zhilan, the fourth daughter of the Ministry of Industry. Because the third master's biological mother, Zheng, was originally a personal big girl next to Mrs. Tai, although the third master was a concubine, she was also very loved by Mrs. Tai. Now the third wife is in charge of the middle feed of the Hou Mansion.

The fourth master, Shao Lingbo, is not very proficient in eight shares, and he never wants to pick up a book after he barely passes the exam. When the old marquis was there, he took great care of the fourth master's biological mother, Gao, so he let the fourth master take care of the chores in the front yard.

Furui's family said, the corners of his mouth twitched, "There is another reason why the old lady doesn't like the fourth master, that is, the fourth wife." ”

Although the fourth wife, Shen Yuechen, was born in a concubine, her biological mother died early and was brought up by her stepmother.

This is not the point, the point is that the fourth wife's father is one of the best giants in the whole of North China, and the family's golden building, silk village, money village, and pawnshop have semicolons in various states and counties. Although the fourth master is a concubine, he is also the son of the Hou Mansion, and the old lady did not want to marry Shangjia at that time. But Aunt Gao didn't blow the pillow wind, and the harvest of the grange in the Hou Mansion in those years was not very good, so the old Hou Ye acquiesced to the marriage.

"When the fourth wife entered the door, one hundred and sixty-eight dowries were lifted, the first one was carried into the door of the Hou Mansion, and the last one was not out of the Shen family's house in the capital. The fourth wife is the richest at hand, and she has been openly and secretly trying to separate the family for the past two years. However, the old marquis left a message when he was there, and the family was not allowed to be separated within three generations, so the fourth wife's fuss was also in vain. ”

The Furui family said this, their mouths were dry, and they were about to drink saliva, when Su Ke had already poured tea and pushed it in front of her.

Su Ke asked tentatively, "Why does the fourth wife want to split up?" ”

"This ......" the Furui family sighed, his eyes flickered a little, and after a while, he calmed down and lowered his voice a little, "Actually, this is not a secret in the mansion, I tell the girl now, the girl knows in her heart, don't ask too much in the mansion in the future." ”

Su Ke nodded hurriedly.

It turned out that the fourth master had an outer room outside, and now it has been three or four years.

Everyone in the house knew about this, but they didn't know where the woman came from or what she looked like.

When the fourth wife knew, she made trouble and asked the fourth master to bring people in. The fourth master refused, he kept it outside, carefully guarded it, and the fourth wife couldn't tidy up the outer room too much, so it was not good to really tear his face with the fourth master. So he went to the old lady, the old lady was in the way of Aunt Gao beside her, and the fourth master was a concubine, so she didn't care about it out of suspicion. Anyway, the woman outside is very peaceful, she doesn't make trouble and doesn't want to be famous, so she just stays outside.

In this way, the fourth wife has completely made a feud with the old lady, and has been clamoring for a family breakup since then.

Some people speak, either they don't open their mouths, and once they open their mouths, they don't vomit unpleasantly. Su Ke saw that the Furui family still had some reservations, took two sips of tea slowly, and suddenly smiled, "Where does the money come from for the fourth master's outer room?" ”

The fourth wife will definitely not give money, and where the money comes from is actually self-evident.

The Furui family secretly admired Su Ke's acumen and shrewdness, and said bluntly: "The fourth master is moving the money in the general affairs. ”

"The old lady doesn't know?"

"I know, but the fourth wife wants to save face, and the third wife is in good order, so I don't want people to say that the fourth room is in charge of the housework and makes a business trip, so I secretly make up for the shortfall. But this only helped the fourth master to move money more unscrupulously. The fourth wife folded her arm and hid it in her sleeve, and she endured the pain. Although the old lady didn't like the fourth wife, she also understood her suffering, so she only pretended not to know. It's a pity that the fourth wife just doesn't appreciate it. ”

Don't appreciate it? I'm afraid that it's not that I don't appreciate it, but I'm even more angry.

Su Ke secretly sighed, the fourth wife was making a fuss about separating the family as an excuse, she just didn't want the fourth master to take care of the housework anymore. She is rich, but the mountains of gold and silver are not enough to fill in like this. And it can't deal with that outer chamber. Now for the fourth wife, money and face can only be one of the two.

And the one who said in front of the old lady that the fourth master was in good charge - even the Furui family knew that the fourth master was moving money, who could protect the fourth master like this? There is only Aunt Gao.

can't split the family, Aunt Gao will serve the housewife in the house for the rest of her life. Whether her son has any interest or not directly determines whether her waist is straight or not. The third master is now from the sixth grade, but the fourth master is idle at home, if there is no more to do, wouldn't she be squeezed to death, so she must keep the fourth master's "job". I'm afraid that in order to preserve, Aunt Gao didn't make up for the deficit for the fourth master.

As a result, the private rooms of the two women in the house were emptied. Who are the beneficiaries?

Su Ke couldn't even help but wonder about the outer room of the fourth master, could it be sent by the old lady?

"After talking so much to the girl, the girl understands in her heart, and she is not allowed to inquire after entering the house, and she has no choice but to be discerned." The Fury family instructed.

Su Ke came back to his senses and nodded busily.

Later, when the time was almost over, the Furui family took Su Ke to enter the second gate from the east corner gate in the front yard of the Hou Mansion, went around the verandah, and went straight to the old lady's incense house.

The old lady is the same as ever, with kind eyebrows and good spirits.

Su Ke knelt down to say goodbye, and the old lady sighed, "This is Su Siyan, isn't it?" ”
