Seeing this, Aunt Fang was a little gloating, "Fifth Miss is afraid that she is stupid." ”

"Maybe Miss Fifth was stimulated to say a few words, but it was just a temporary abnormality." Aunt You had sympathy in her eyes, in her opinion, it was normal for Miss Fifth to not be able to speak, but it was abnormal to speak.

Aunt Wei giggled, "Our Hou Mansion will raise an idiot more, and it won't cost much rice and grain." ”

At first, the Wang family patiently came to comfort Murong Qingran, but after a long time, they didn't bother to care about her and let her fend for herself. Murong Qingluan was very sad about this, there was only one Murong Qingran in the Hou Mansion who was the same age as her, and now Murong Qingran was silent, and the whole person was cold, which made her very afraid.

Du Yanshe, Du Changfeng and his son also came to see Murong Qingran before leaving Qizhou, and Du Yanshe saw that Murong Qingran was not only dumb and not cured, but also became like this, sighed long, and never mentioned the family affairs between the Du family and Murong Hou's Mansion.

Du Changfeng is good-tempered, but when he met such a withdrawn and elusive little wife as Murong Qingran, no matter how good his temper was, he was also worn out by Murong Qingran, and before leaving, he said to Murong Qingran angrily, "You are still like this in five years, I will never marry you." ”

Murong Qingran sneered at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't even raise his eyelids, so angry that Du Changfeng swept away.

Now, in the entire Jiyang Hou Mansion, there is only one Zhou Nanniang who cares about Murong Qingzhi the most. She saw that after Murong Qingran was taken back to the house by Murong He, she was even more silent than before, and she no longer left any breath that belonged to her age at a young age, except for indifference, or indifference, like a bloodthirsty person who was about to explode at any time, full of anger, she couldn't help but ask herself, was it right or wrong that she instilled the idea of the fifth lady to avenge the late Hou Ye over and over that day.

"Nurse, I've figured it out." Three months later, Murong Qingran finally said a word, Granny Zhou was so happy that she cried bitterly, although she didn't know what Murong Qingran had figured out, but when she saw the coldness and murderous aura in Murong Qingran's eyes, she was stunned, and she subconsciously shivered, so heavy and bloody.

Time flies, and it is five years in the blink of an eye.

Five years later, the Jiyang Marquis Mansion is still as prosperous as ever.

At the beginning of the fifth year of Yuanyou, the Hou Mansion had just finished the New Year, and the peach talisman on the door had not yet been removed, and the maids and servants who came and went to the inner courtyard were dressed in new clothes and had smiles on their faces.

After the second and third Miss Murong got married, the young ladies in the Hou Mansion were left with the fourth Miss Murong Qingluan and the fifth Miss Murong Qingran of the same age, but Murong Qingluan's month was one month older than Murong Qingran, Murong Qingluan was born in mid-spring, and Murong Qingran was born in late spring.

Several young ladies in Murong Hou's Mansion, the eldest lady, the second miss, and the third miss, their marriages were all arranged by Murong He, and they were either married to powerful families, or famous families, the eldest miss Murong Qingwei married Dingyuanbo's straw bale son as a concubine, needless to say, the second miss Murong Qingting was a continuation of the Mizhou Thorn History, and the third miss Murong Qingping was no better than her two sisters, and she was a side concubine to a Huaiyang County King who was more than 20 years older than her. To put it bluntly, they are all tools used by Murong He to consolidate his own position as Jiyang Hou.

Of course, the concubine Murong Qingluan is more cautious. Because she is a concubine, she naturally can't be a concubine, let alone marry a low family.

Seeing that the days of Murong Qingluan and Lu are getting closer and closer, the Wang family is even more anxious than Murong He, her only daughter must marry beautifully, and her husband's family is prominent.

Wang glanced at the roster of several sons sent by the housekeeper Chang Mao just in the room, and asked the maid Dong'er beside him, "Where did the fourth young lady go?" ”

Dong'er is Wang's confidant, so she speaks a little coquettishly, "Madam, you have been talking about Miss Fourth these days, and Miss Fourth is afraid that she will be annoyed by you, so she hid in Miss Five." ”

"It's so fast, that girl has reached the age of the hand." Wang was stunned, fifteen years ago, she gave birth to Luan'er, it was cold and lonely, Luan'er didn't even have a decent full moon wine, and the girl born by the sister-in-law Jiang was set off for three days in the whole Qizhou City, and the people in the city celebrated. Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Wang's mouth, who would have thought that after fifteen years, her daughter would be the noble concubine of Jiyang Houfu known to everyone in Qizhou, and the girl born by the sister-in-law Jiang was just an uneducated and unruly abandoned daughter of Houfu, hehe, this life is really unpredictable.

"Fourth Miss's courtesy, you have to keep an eye on it, if you make a mistake and lose the face of our Hou Mansion, Mrs. Ben will never spare you." Next month is Murong Qingluan's ceremony, how dare the Wang family hand over such a major matter to others, and directly handle it himself, in the past five years, the Wang family has taken a lot of home remedies and wants to conceive another child, although Murong He handed over the son Murong Zhen born to Aunt Jiang to her to raise, but after all, it is not his own son, and the son he gave birth to will inherit Jiyang Hou in the future, which is the guarantee for the Wang family, but giving birth to a child is not something she can give birth to if she wants to, Aunt Wei can't give birth at a young age, she is over forty years old, I am afraid it will be more difficult to have another son, and the Wang family knows this very well in her heart, so she can only be doubly good to Murong Zhen and rely on Murong Zhen in everything.

It is precisely because of this that as the only daughter of the Wang family, Murong Qingluan is simply the heart of the Wang family, the Wang family is such a daughter in this life, her etiquette is not wanton, how dare the Wang family be willing.

"Madam, don't worry. Slaves and maids do things, how have you ever been disappointed. Dong'er smiled.

Wang nodded with satisfaction, then thought of something again, and ordered, "You go and find the fourth lady back for Mrs. Ben, how much can you do if you mess with that uneducated wild girl all day long." ”

The Wang family was most afraid that Murong Qingran would bring her daughter Murong Qingluan, although Murong He later invited a few masters to Murong Qingran, but they were all driven away by Murong Qingran, so Murong Qingran's knowledge was delayed, as for etiquette and women's training, even the Wang family didn't care about her, and no one in the house cared about her.

"Yes, ma'am." Dong'er hurriedly took the two maids and hurriedly went to find the fourth lady, Murong Qingluan.

Out of Wang's courtyard, Dong'er headed all the way to the north courtyard.

Since the second lady Murong Qingting and the third lady Murong Qingping got married, the courtyard of the Hou Mansion has been much empty, and the courtyard where Murong Qingran originally lived was the closest to Murong He, but later, Murong He gradually sat down in Jiyang Hou's position, and he felt that Murong Qingran's storage zài was not dangerous to him, and he didn't need to monitor it at all times, so Murong Qingran insisted on moving to the northernmost courtyard, and Murong He agreed without hesitation.

"Granny Zhou, where is the fourth lady of my family?" As soon as Dong'er stepped into the courtyard where Murong Qing lived, she felt a fierce aura towards her, with withered leaves all over the ground, bare tree trunks, and moss climbing up the steps, it seemed that every time she came, the courtyard of the fifth lady would fall into decay and become more and more barren.

Granny Zhou sat in the small courtyard basking in the sun, and snorted, "Your fourth lady is gone, how do I know." "Fifth Miss's status in the Hou Mansion is getting worse day by day, and even a maid dares to run to Fifth Miss on a rampage and shout, not treating Fifth Miss as the master.

"You two, go your separate ways." Dong'er didn't talk nonsense with Granny Zhou, and directly asked the two little maids who followed her to find someone in the courtyard where Murong Qing lived.

Granny Zhou was furious, "This is the courtyard of the fifth miss, who gave you the courage to be presumptuous here in my fifth lady!" ”

"Heh... What a fifth miss. Master Hou and Mrs. Hou were kind-hearted, so they rewarded the fifth lady with a mouthful of food. Hehe, have you ever heard that your niece Changlai won't leave her uncle's house? Dong'er sneered, "Granny Zhou, I advise you to make plans early, Master Hou doesn't care about Miss Fifth now, what else can you do with Miss Five." ”

"Get out!" Granny Zhou was so angry that she jumped up from the wooden bench, picked up the broom on the side, and hit Dong'er.

"I'm the one next to my wife, you dare to hit me." Dong'er was not to be outdone, and scuffled with Granny Zhou.

"Lady, I'm still the person next to Miss Five!" Zhou Nanniang has martial arts, but in order to avoid people's eyes, her martial arts will never be used in front of people, let alone show the slightest flaw, therefore, she and Dong'er fight rely on brute force, grasp with her hands, kick with her feet, arch with her body, anyway, she uses all the moves used by ordinary shrews.

"No wonder you are widowed, you look like this, you are a man who has been killed by you." Dong'er's hairpin was messy, and she scolded angrily.

Granny Zhou was also not polite, and scolded back loudly, "The old lady is widowed or something, and she didn't steal a man, nor did she do anything to steal chickens and dogs, what's in your way!" ”

"You...... You ......" Dong'er was not as thick-skinned as Grandma Zhou, blushing, and trembling angrily, "No shame!" "What kind of master there is, what kind of subordinate there is, Granny Zhou is like this, the fifth lady can know where to go.

"Hmph." Granny Zhou knocked the handle of the broom to the ground vigorously, "If you don't roll, if you don't roll, the old lady will beat you all over the ground to find teeth!" ”

Granny Zhou started to splash her, which is notoriously difficult in the Hou Mansion, and even Steward Chang has a headache when she sees her, and she is not afraid of dying, she is afraid that such an unreasonable shrew will still shout everywhere if she has nothing to do. Dong'er counted down Zhou's arrogance in front of the Wang family several times, and asked the Wang family to drive this person out of the house, but the Wang family was afraid that Zhou Nanniang was a person around Murong Qingran, and when she was a Qi master who had not been together for a few days, Murong Qingran dared to make trouble with Murong He, if it was a little Zhou Nanniang, she couldn't tell how Murong Qingran would make trouble, in case it was big, she couldn't get down in front of Murong He, but cheapened Aunt Wei and them, the Wang family did things left and right, and fought openly and secretly with Aunt Wei and several other concubines, she was very cautious every step she took, Neither can she lose the majesty of the head of the Hou Mansion, nor can she let the handle fall into the hands of Aunt Wei and them, so after such a trade-off, Granny Zhou stayed and was not driven out of the house.
