Chapter 44: A woman disguised as a man as a little general
The guards knew only a limited amount of things, and Mingyue couldn't see what to ask, so she gave him a punch and knocked people out!
Sneak out of the ancestral hall and wander around the Hou Mansion!
On a summer afternoon, the masters in the house are resting, and the people who are waiting for them are also looking for a place to rest.
When I arrived at the back garden, I saw a rich courtyard, "Fu'an Hall!"
This should be the place where the old ladies of the Hou Mansion of the past dynasties are old, but now there is an old woman with a foreign surname!
The Marquis of Annan offered the old wife of the tenant family as an old lady, and there was definitely something wrong with the matter!
Mingyue entered the courtyard, there was a birdcage hanging under the porch of the main house, water lilies were raised in the large tank in the yard, and two little girls in red and green were sitting on the threshold and dozing!
The bright moon was not alarmed, and quietly entered the main room, where there were flowers!
When I went inside, I saw an old woman with white hair lying on the chaise longue, closing her eyes and recuperating!
There was a little maid kneeling next to her, beating her legs, and her braincase was little by little, she should also be sleepy!
Visually, the old woman has dark skin and wrinkled face, and at first glance she looks like a person who has worked all year round, and her facial features should be good when she is young!
Mingyue was not in a hurry to alarm people, and found that the furniture in this room was low-key and luxurious, but the accessories were nondescript!
Suddenly I heard the curtain ring, and someone came in!
Mingyue ducked into the blue yarn cupboard and hid!
It was a pretty girl who came in, and the little girl who was beating her legs also heard the footsteps, so she was busy beating her legs!
"Don't hammer, old lady should get up!" the pretty maid snorted softly.
The little girl put her hand away, the old woman on the chaise longue has opened her eyes, and the next person is busy serving the old woman!
At this time, there were footsteps outside, "Old lady, Grandma Yue, Second Grandma Yue is here!"
While talking, two middle-aged women with flowers and branches came in, with average appearance and burnt skin, and at first glance they were peasant women who worked all year round!
Now he is dressed in gorgeous clothes and wears a golden hairpin, but it is still difficult to hide the temperament of an upstart!
The short and fat woman in front of her said in a loud voice, "Mother, I have something to discuss with you!"
The old woman sat firmly and took a sip of tea before saying, "Now that it's not the countryside, you should be more restrained, how far away I heard you shouting at the gate, what do you look like!"
Mrs. Yue covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said with an exaggerated smile, "What my mother said is that my daughter-in-law has forgotten, and now our family is not as good as before!"
Mrs. Yue had a pair of triangular eyes and smiled, "Yes, you should learn from your mother, look at her mother's style now, she looks like an old feudal lord of a rich family!"
Mrs. Yue sneered, "What do you mean, it's obviously it! Thanks to the good girl born to my mother, now the whole family is enjoying happiness!"
The old woman's pale brows furrowed, and she snorted, "You all go down!"
The girls all went out, and the old woman snorted, "Brainless things, what to say and what not to say, why don't you have a long memory!
Mrs. Yue realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "My daughter-in-law is wrong, I don't dare to talk nonsense in the future!"
"Hmph, what are you doing here?" the old woman said, putting the old lady's money.
"Mother, have you heard? Zhou Mingyue saved the princess on the street today!"
"Yes, that kid is really lucky, he actually escaped from the feet of Crazy Horse and saved the princess, this time he is going to turn over!"
The old woman held the teacup and looked down and thought, "He is a little martial artist, and it is normal to be able to save the princess, what does the Hou Ye say?"
Mrs. Yue let out an old hen-like laugh, "He can't look down on the Hou Ye no matter how capable he is, I heard that he ran to the kitchen early in the morning to make trouble, and now he is locked up by the Hou Ye to the ancestral hall to kneel to the ancestors!"
The corners of the old woman's mouth furled, revealing a meaningful smile, "I'll just say! With Brother Ping here, no one can get past him!"
Second Mrs. Yue's triangular eyes flashed, "Yes, Master Hou only has Brother Ping in his heart, no matter how capable he is, it is useless!"
Mingyue frowned behind her, these people are chirping crookedly, why don't they get to the point, do you want to go over and beat them up, coerce and lure them to tell the truth?
But I heard Mrs. Yue say proudly, "Speaking of which, the sister-in-law is the most capable, and she easily hooked the heart of the Hou Ye, alas, it's a pity that she went early, otherwise, this Hou Mansion would have been our family!"
When Mingyue heard this, her heart moved, and she listened carefully.
The old woman put the teacup down and sighed, "Sister Ping is unlucky, but it's good if she goes, at least Master Hou will miss her for the rest of her life, and she will always love Brother Ping!"
"As long as Brother Ping is here, our family's good days will still be long!"
Mingyue thought secretly, listening to this meaning, could it be that Zhou Huaiping was the daughter of her family, no wonder An Nanhou was willing to take this family to the house!
Mrs. Yue said again, "It's a pity that Brother Ping is still in the name of an illegitimate son now, mother!
The old woman snorted, "What's the hurry, when the reverse seed is solved, Brother Ping is the only heir of the Hou Mansion, and he will naturally be the son of the world smoothly at that time!"
"Before that, Master Hou will definitely plan well and give Brother Ping the best!"
Mrs. Yue said happily, "When Brother Ping becomes the prince of the Hou Mansion, my mother can remember to mention our sister Fang to the Hou Ye!"
"Sister-in-law really dares to think about it, tell Sister Fang to Brother Ping, don't say that my mother doesn't agree, and Master Hou definitely doesn't agree either!"
The old woman snorted, "I don't agree! Brother Ping is the son of the Hou Ye, and the daughter-in-law he marries should also be a famous lady, so you will die of this heart!"
Mingyue was stunned, Zhou Huaiping is the son of Annan Hou, no wonder!
"Mother, Sister Fang is your own granddaughter, how good it is to be close to each other, let's live in this mansion and change our name!"
"Okay, put away your little thoughts, Hou Ye is affectionate, as long as you live a stable life, Hou Ye will never treat us badly!" the old woman scolded.
Second Mrs. Yue also smiled and said, "Yes! Now that the children in the family are taught by the master, as long as they study hard and have the support of the Hou Ye, they will develop sooner or later!"
The old woman nodded, "The second daughter-in-law is right!"
She thought of the past and said with emotion, "My ancestors are subordinates, and when I was young, I also envied my wife, and the young lady can enjoy the glory and wealth, and have the heart to climb up, but unfortunately the old lady hated me and gave me to the tenant!"
"Your old Yue's ancestors have mud legs, I married into the Yue's family, and I will struggle in the quagmire in this life, but I didn't expect my sister Ping to compete for energy, so I have today's wealth!"
The old woman said with deep feelings, "So, people can't tell when they will turn over in this life!"
She looked around the room proudly and said with a low smile, "If the old lady knew that it was my girl who lived in this house now, she would definitely be so angry that she couldn't hold down the coffin board!"
The two daughters-in-law flattered together, "It's the mother who is blessed!"
The old woman said proudly, "That's my long-term vision, and I have a merit in teaching Sister Fang! You also remember, if the girl is trained well, she can also ascend to heaven!"
