Chapter 241: Old Lady
The Murong Hou Mansion has not had such a prosperous era for a long time, and today the Hou Mansion has a long time coming, and there is an endless stream of guests who come to watch the ceremony.
Miss Four and Miss Five are of the same age, and the line and the ceremony were changed from Miss Four to Miss Five, although some people were surprised, but when they learned that Miss Four suddenly fell ill, Miss Five took the lead and gave the ceremony, and Miss Four chose another day, such an explanation is reasonable, they are all Miss Hou's Mansion, and Miss Five is still the daughter of the late Jiyang Hou, counting, she can afford this honor.
The first to come were some of the female relatives of the Murong clan, in terms of generation, it was Murong Qingran's aunt, aunt, cousin, cousin, etc., they all came to help.
Wang's swollen face had not yet faded, and a thick layer of rouge was applied to her face to hide her haggard sleepless night.
The Wang family also came, originally Murong Qingluan and courtesy, they came, naturally they should come, but now they know that it is Murong Qingran, a fifth lady of the Hou Mansion who can't fight with them, they also came cheekily, the Wang family saw their younger brother and sister-in-law, and they were angry, "What are you doing here?" Today's is not our Luan'er line and ceremony, what are you here to have fun. ”
Mrs. Wang Han said, "Eldest sister, we are all relatives, and nominally Miss Fifth is also your daughter, and we are uncles and aunts, so we have to do something." Didn't you say that you want to give her to our Hong'er as a daughter-in-law? Eldest sister, over the years, we have regarded the fifth lady as the young lady of our Wang family, and Hong'er has been stumbling for her for several years......" Han said this, his language choked, "The sons of other people's families have become fathers at Hong'er's age, and our Hong'er's relatives, his aunt and grandmother must be concerned." ”
As soon as Han cried, Wang was upset, her younger brother and daughter-in-law, if she wanted to be born without a background, if she wanted to look good, she didn't understand where her younger brother Wang Ye fell in love with Han.
"Madam, don't worry, it is destined for our Hong'er to marry Miss Houfu, and when the fifth lady finishes her performance and the ceremony, we will come to Houfu to be hired." Wang Ye comforted the Han family, and said to the Wang family, "Eldest sister, this matter was promised to me back then, my younger brother has done his best to you and your brother-in-law over the years, and the silver is sent to your Hou Mansion every year. Of course, marrying Murong Qingran to Wang Hong, the Wang family originally thought so, but in the past few days, Murong He seems to be a little reluctant to Murong Qingran, and the Wang family is uncertain in his heart.
"Hong'er is my own nephew, I can't hurt him. Murong Qingran this girl, with a strange temper and an undetermined temperament, I am afraid that our Hong'er's gentle temperament will not be able to control her, but will be eaten to death by her. Younger brother, the eldest sister will never be wrong when she looks at people, and with the status of our Wang family today, which lady in Qizhou can't marry, and if the prince is not a prince, she will look better on the face, and if she really wants to marry and go home, she has to be offered as a living ancestor. "The Wang family really feels sorry for Wang Hong's nephew, and saying these words can be regarded as heartbreaking.
Wang Ye didn't appreciate it and said, "If you can marry into the Wang family, our husband and wife will treat her as a living ancestor!" ”
Han said, "His aunt, I heard Hong'er say that although the fifth lady is cold and indifferent, her character is not bad and she is not arrogant. The implication is that it is much better than Miss Four's temperament. How could the Wang family not hear it, her face was a little cold, and she said in her heart that her younger brother and sister-in-law were really obsessed, and she didn't look at what the identity of the Wang family was, could the son of a businessman marry Miss Wanghou, if the Hou Ye didn't like Murong Qingran's girl, she could indeed make the decision to let Murong Qingran marry Wang Hong, but Hou Ye did a ceremony for her today, although it was sudden, but it also confirmed that Hou Ye valued this girl, and also agreed to a few rude requests from this girl, what idea Hou Ye was playing in his heart, she couldn't guess now.
"Well, don't regret it!" The Wang family was forced to have no choice but to compromise, "I will find an opportunity to tell Hou Ye, whether it is successful or not, it depends on Hong'er's creation." ”
"Eldest sister, don't worry, this thing will be done." Wang Ye smiled happily, Hong'er has taken care of Miss Five over the years, and she is close to Miss Five, as long as Miss Five herself agrees, Master Hou can still not recognize this family business.
Wang looked at him suspiciously, and Wang Ye changed the topic and said, "How is Luan'er's condition?" ”
"Yes, when I heard that the fourth lady was unconscious, my master and I came over early in the morning." Han Shi said with concern, "What medicinal materials do you need, I'll let Hong'er find them." ”
The doctor said that the injury was not light, but there was no fear of life. Don't help you, I'll tell you if you need anything. Wang said hatefully, "I will get this account back for Luan'er." ”
"Since ancient times, there is a difference, these three young ladies have become the concubines of the king of Huaiyang County, so they don't take the eldest sister and your mother and daughter seriously. Alas, the brother-in-law is really, Luan'er is his daughter-in-law, which makes a concubine's daughter beat and spread out, and it is so faceless. Wang Ye hugged and said unevenly, "Eldest sister, if you don't want to say it, let your younger brother talk to your brother-in-law." ”
"Don't make a mess." Wang stopped Wang Ye, "This year's silver, you have given less money, and the Hou Ye is still angry with you about this." ”
"Business has not been good in recent years, the Xiao family is booming, and there are nobles behind it." The Wang family opened the door to do business, tired and tired, Murong He just said hello to the government, and didn't do anything, he knew that he reached out to them to ask for silver, and after taking the silver, he turned his face and didn't recognize people, in front of outsiders, he didn't treat them as relatives, how to slander and how to come, in the end, he Jiyang Hou is Geng Zhizhongzheng, their Wang family is a profiteer, Wang Ye is angry when he thinks of this, but he can't help it, who teaches people is Jiyanghou, a person with a head, a face and an identity, no matter how much silver the Wang family earns, This identity is not recognized by those prestigious families, and it is useless, so he can only lick the Murong Marquis Mansion to make a living.
"Brother, eldest sister is counting on you now, we sister and brother don't have any suspicions." The wings of the two concubines were stiff, and it was difficult for the Wang family to deal with them, so she was much more kind to Wang Ye's younger brother than before.
"What the eldest sister said is exactly what the younger brother meant." Now I think of his younger brother, why did he go a few years ago, when he became Mrs. Hou, he dictated to them, Wang Ye said secretly in his heart, but said on his face, "Hong'er's affairs are all up to the eldest sister." By the way, why haven't you seen Wang Ma? ”
Wang Ma was sent by Wang Ye to the Hou Mansion to serve the Wang family, and in private on weekdays, Wang Ma and Wang Ye are also close, and any news about Wang Ye is all secretly sent by Wang Ma to sue him.
Wang Ye asked, and Wang realized that he really didn't see Wang Ma this morning.
"Last night, I asked Wang Ma to teach this girl the etiquette, lest she lose the face of our Hou Mansion today." Wang was suspicious, but he thought that he told Wang Ma to do something last night, maybe it was too late to teach the etiquette and law, and Wang Ma was used to being lazy, so she couldn't hide where to sleep, and it was not impossible for her to be punished, so it was not impossible that she did not appear.
"It's good for the fifth lady to learn some etiquette, and the eldest sister is thoughtful." Han flattered.
"Dong'er, take my uncle and wife to the hall for tea." The Wang family had other distinguished guests to entertain, so they didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Ye and the Han family.
Wang Ye's business has become bigger, plus it is the brother-in-law of Jiyang Hou, there are many people who know it, most of the guests who came here today, Wang Ye knows most, after he said goodbye to Wang, he took Han to those guests who have gone to the main hall to have tea, and greeted them one by one.
These guests also gave Wang Ye enough face, and called him Master Wang one by one, which made Wang Ye feel comfortable.
"Chang Mao, send someone to find Wang Ma for me." Wang took a few steps, and when he thought that something was wrong, he called the housekeeper Chang Mao.
Chang Mao sighed in his heart, last night, Wang Ma died in the hands of Miss Five, look for it, where to find it, find a dead person to show Madame.
"It's Madam, the little one will send someone to find it immediately." On the face, Chang Mao still pretended, "This Wang Ma is really, today is such an important day, she is still lazy, and when you find her, the little Mrs. Dai will teach Wang Ma a few words." ”
Well. Wang did not suspect and continued to greet a few distinguished guests who had just entered the mansion.
Chang Mao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Lu Fei who was following him, Lu Fei was dressed as a small servant in the Hou Mansion, bowing his eyebrows, looking respectful, but Chang Mao didn't dare to slack off, this was sent by the fifth lady to monitor him, if he said the wrong word, or escaped from the battle, he would end up like Wang Ma.
"Lord Zheng and his wife are here!"
Lord Zheng, the prefect of Qizhou, has been in adultery with Murong Hewolf for many years, and when there is something in the Murong Hou Mansion, there is no shortage of this Zheng Governor's Mansion.
When Governor Zheng entered the Hou Mansion, he went to see Murong He, and Mrs. Zheng took Miss Zheng and said to Wang, "A little generous gift, congratulations to Miss Wu and Lu Zhixi." ”
"You're welcome." It was not for her daughter, and the Wang family was not much interested, so she asked her to accept the congratulatory gift, and ordered the maid to bring Mrs. Zheng and Miss Zheng in.
"Mother, what does this fifth lady of the Hou Mansion look like, is it as unlearned and arrogant as rumored." Miss Zheng pulled Mrs. Zheng and asked quietly.
Mrs. Zheng has also been to the Hou Mansion a few times, but she has never seen Murong Qingran for so many years, she covered Miss Zheng's mouth and said in a silent voice, "You forgot what your mother told you before you came, this is the Hou Mansion, don't talk too much and cause trouble for your father." ”
Miss Zheng is not very old, about fourteen or five years old, she is the youngest daughter of Zheng Zhifu, and she has been loved by Zheng Zhifu since she was a child. ”
"I've seen Mrs. Thorn Shi, and I've seen the princess of Huaiyang County." Mrs. Zheng walked into the main hall and saw Murong Qingting and Murong Qingping, so she hurriedly took Miss Zheng to salute.
Murong Qingting and Murong Qingping were surrounded by everyone, with smug faces, and when they saw Mrs. Zheng, Murong Qingting said, "Mrs. Zheng is polite, take a seat." ”
"In front of Mrs. Thorn Shi, how can there be a seat for a concubine." Mrs. Zheng said humbly.
The Wang family heard their voices from a distance, and hummed disdainfully in their hearts, a thorn Shi Xuxian, a side concubine, what's the big deal, her daughter Luan'er will be a wife in the future, at least a first-class lady, and they will know in the future, what is out of the concubine is what is out of the concubine, and it will never be able to suppress the concubine.
Wang gritted his teeth with hatred, and he had to pretend to smile on his face.
"Old Mrs. Ma of Dingyuan Bofu has arrived!"
Even the sworn enemy of the Marquis of Jiyang, the old lady Ma of the Dingyuan Bo Mansion came, and the guests present were surprised and got up one after another, after all, the old lady Ma was the old lady who had been canonized by the emperor's decree, and the seniority was high enough, and the people in the Qizhou area, whoever saw her, wanted to give her some face
