Let's talk about Mrs. Lin's side, she originally said that, just to get the hairpin placed in Luo Zhenfang, now that the things have been obtained, there is no need to go to the small courtyard again, but she and Lin Mei have lived there for seventeen years, but most of them are not good memories after all.

In addition, at this time, the servants beside Marquis An Yuan also whispered something in his ear, and now the two of them gave up the purpose of going to the small courtyard, and sent a guard to the courtyard of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion to send a message to Zhou Yanji, saying that they would take the first step in these cars, and let the remaining guards and servants in the courtyard escort Zhou Yanxi to Beijing safely, and then wait for her in the Anyuan Marquis Mansion in the capital.

Zhou Yanxi was very depressed, and she only felt that her stepmother, who had disappeared for more than ten years, had done a good job, and all of a sudden An Yuanhou's eyes were all on her, and she was afraid that she would be even more sad in the future......

But Mrs. Lin's side only felt flattered, and the whole person became more cautious, and asked softly, "Master Hou, what's wrong, why don't you wait for your sister-in-law?" ”

Mrs. Lin has done enough to save face, knowing that An Yuanhou has always regarded Zhou Yanxi as a substitute for Lin Mei in her heart, but after raising her for so many years, she has some feelings, so in front of An Yuanhou, she made an intimate gesture that Zhou Yanxi was her own daughter, and cared about Zhou Yanxi in everything, which also made the anxiety in An Yuanhou's heart gradually dissipate, and he only said that he had found a good wife......

"It's not Yan Ting yet...... On weekdays, the ancestors and parents don't know how much they think of him, but now they are just talking about relatives. You're going to call me back! ”

An Yuanhou glanced at Mrs. Lin's thoughtful expression, knowing that she should be thinking about what kind of character this Zhou Yanting was, and hurriedly comforted. "Wanrong, you can rest assured, Yan Ting's mother died early, and he has been raised under his father's knees, and now he is indeed the most promising of our many children, but you are her mother, he naturally has to respect and love you."

Mrs. Lin shook her head. said that he was not entangled in whether Zhou Yanting was disobedient.

"Master Hou, how can I care about such a thing? Even if Yan Ting is cold to me, that's how it should be. After all, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a housewife for so many years...... It's just that I'm curious, which lady is my father and mother discussing with Yan Ting? ”

If you talk about Zhou Yanting, Mrs. Lin has a relationship. And he has long known that he is the eighth son of Marquis An Yuan. But it's the most promising.

At that time, Mrs. Lin had also entered the capital several times, but she only stayed on the periphery for a few days. When she went out that day, she happened to see an extremely handsome young man in front of her, and after looking closely, she was still a little familiar. At this time, the shopkeeper next to her saw Mrs. Lin's inquiring eyes, so she sneered, "This eldest sister, that is the eighth prince of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion." We mortals can't cling to it! ”

However, it seemed that the matchmaker of Yilin that day. Zhou Yanting is not arrogant or impatient, and he is young and promising, so it is no wonder that the old lady and the old marquis of Anyuan's mansion value him so much.

"Master Hou, I don't have any heirs, so naturally the other sons in the mansion are all from their own ......" Seeing An Yuanhou's surprised and happy look, Mrs. Lin couldn't help sighing, her tone was full of sourness.

She is right, she is already so old, it is impossible for her to be old and born a pearl, and there are so many sons in the Hou Mansion, and they are all adults and can be independent, even if she has another one, she will not have any status in the Hou Mansion at all, and it is better to take those salaries as her own, which can be regarded as adding a few more helpers to Lin Mei's future days in the Hou Mansion of Anyuan.

How could Marquis An Yuan not listen to the bitterness in Mrs. Lin's words, if it weren't for him, I was afraid that Mrs. Lin would not have run away from home with Lin Mei for more than ten years, but now, Marquis Anyuan's mansion has long been occupied by the heirs born to him and other concubines, and there is no place for Mrs. Lin to gain a foothold.

Thinking of this, An Yuanhou blamed himself even more in his heart, he was still suspicious of Mrs. Lin and Liu Xianling, but now he hated why he was so weak and useless back then.

"Wanrong, after so many years, I have really suffered you......" Marquis Anyuan sighed, hugged Mrs. Lin into his arms, and promised, "Don't worry, although the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion will inherit to other heirs in the future, I will take all the land deeds of the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion as Wan'er's dowry and marry with her." ”

"Master Hou...... This ......" Mrs. Lin was immediately stunned, and just said something first, she was hugged more tightly by An Yuanhou, and whispered in her ear, "If the land deed is in the hands of the two of you, I am not afraid that Wan'er and you will have a bad time in the future." ”

That's right, after all, even the guy who eats by himself has been given to his married sister, isn't it okay to be good for her and her mother? He also pointed to asking them for money to eat and feed the people in the house every month......

"Master Hou, this, I'm afraid it's too unfair to Yan Ting and them......" Mrs. Lin is naturally unwilling, if Marquis Anyuan really does this, it will push her and Lin Mei to the forefront, and when the time comes, not to mention how people outside will talk about it, even the mouths and tongues of the people in Marquis Anyuan's mansion are enough for her to drink several pots!

An Yuanhou's facial expression at this time was invisible, but there was not much relaxed and bantering emotion, full of seriousness and vicissitudes.

He had long known that with the temperament of Mrs. Lin, he would definitely refuse this matter, but he had made up his mind, and he had thought about this matter for a long time, so he made up his mind, and it was absolutely impossible to change it.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse me now...... An Yuanhou tightened his grip on Mrs. Lin, as if he was afraid that she would disappear, and even his voice was soft, "You set Wan'er's marriage for next year...... However, I'm afraid that next year will be an eventful time, if ...... If I can't protect you, you will take those land deeds and Wan'er to go to Shu Wangjin together, I can be regarded as watching him grow up, he is true to his word, and his future is immeasurable, and although he is related to the royal family, he is not very close to any prince, and the Shu family is a clean road, and the court also pointed to Shu Wangjin to help them make money, so naturally it will not be more difficult for Shu Wangjin...... When Wan'er married him, he had a land deed by his side. I don't have to worry about speaking in Shu's house. ”

An Yuanhou said so much, in the final analysis, it was for the good of Mrs. Lin and Lin Mei, and even Zhou Yanxi, the adopted daughter who seemed to love very much, did not mention it.

Mrs. Lin's eyes were full of tears. She naturally knew what An Yuanhou meant when he said that next year would be eventful, but An Yuanhou was so thoughtful about Lin Mei and her in this speech, which she did not expect, after all, she and Lin Mei had been left behind for so many years, and the relationship with An Yuanhou was not at all, and it was even less comparable to those heirs who took on the rise and fall of the Zhou family, but in the end. An Yuanhou still remembers her and Lin Mei.

"Master Hou...... Can't we also learn from the Shu family and follow the pure school? Mrs. Lin had always thought that she hated An Yuanhou before, but now she realized that she didn't want anything to happen to him at all. I just hope that their family of three is well.

"How easy is it to talk about......" Marquis An Yuan sighed and said, "I didn't want to take you and Wan'er into the capital, but ...... Wan'er is my daughter for so many years. For a day, the blessings of the Marquis of Anyuan Mansion were not enjoyed. On the contrary, like you, you are also eating and sleeping outside, how can I bear it? ”

Mrs. Lin pursed her lips, but after all, she burst into tears and sobbed silently.

No matter how powerful they are, they can't compare to the magnates of the Heavenly Family...... Whether it is life or death, whether it is expensive or cheap, it is just a sentence from heaven......

"It's just a girl, and she's been wandering outside for so many years. There is also the Zhao family as a backer behind him, and he wants to come. Even if the new emperor is on the throne, he won't blame your mother and daughter too much......" Marquis An Yuan also closed his eyes, as if he was extremely tired, "There is also the Shu family in the middle, no matter what, the new emperor has to give the Shu family a face." ”

Mrs. Lin suddenly burst into tears, and suddenly wet An Yuanhou's clothes, An Yuanhou gently patted her shoulder, and kept silent.

And here in the capital Anyuan Marquis Mansion, it has been very lively in recent days.

Originally, there were many masters in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, and there were fourteen heirs of the Marquis of Anyuan alone, as well as those aunts in the backyard, so there were many subordinates in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, but fortunately, the old lady managed it well and made the Hou's mansion everything smooth.

If you talk about it, the old lady is also a good person, those old ladies in other mansions have already handed over the feed to their daughter-in-law, although Lin Matchmaker has been missing for more than ten years, but she still has several daughters-in-law, I thought that Lin Matchmaker disappeared and she could be in charge of the Hou Mansion Feed, but the old lady directly took the feed by herself, and the other ladies were stunned.

There are also daughters-in-law who are not happy, and they mentioned this matter very vaguely in front of the old lady, but they regretted it soon after, the middle feed of the Hou Mansion is in the hands of the old lady, and naturally they want to deduct your things, and you still want to cry without tears and have no way to appeal......

If it's better with your sister-in-law, you can also complain to your mother-in-law, but it's your mother-in-law who is in charge, and now it's really knocked out your teeth and blood and swallowed it in your stomach.

In the final analysis, there is only one reason, others think that the old lady of the Hou Mansion likes to take power and refuses to give the middle money to her daughter-in-law to take care of, but who knows that this is the old lady's hard work...... Her favorite daughter-in-law in her heart is still Mrs. Lin, so naturally she has to take charge of the power herself, and when the time comes, she will wait for Mrs. Lin to come back so that she can explain it to her in person, otherwise, if she is in charge of the middle feed of the Hou Mansion for other daughters-in-law, she may not know how to fish in troubled waters and secretly hide the interests of the Hou Mansion in her own house......

In front of her children and grandchildren, the old lady smiled all day long, looking gentle and harmless, but when it came to business, she was vigorous and resolute, but she had the style of the daughter of a general.

At this time, in the backyard of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, a middle-aged lady who was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, but her expression was full of humility and flattery, sat under the old lady, looked at the old lady sitting on the upper seat with a smile, and her tone was full of flattery, "...... The old lady is really getting younger and younger......"

The old lady also smiled kindly, waved her hand and said, "No matter how young you are, you can't compare to the current young people, Xiaoxi looks more and more beautiful, alas...... It's a pity that my family doesn't have such a beautiful and well-behaved granddaughter! ”

It turned out that the graceful and luxurious woman sitting in the lower seat was Liu Yufei's aunt, Mrs. Zhang, and the young woman was Liu Yufei's cousin Zhang Xiaoxi.

"It's all the old lady's praise...... Xiaoxi is real, but he can't afford it. Zhang Xiaoxi's expression was a little shy and a little scared, and even her voice was small and small, which immediately made Mrs. Zhang unhappy, but she couldn't say anything in front of Mrs. Zhou, she just glared at her daughter slightly.

Mrs. Zhou likes Zhang Xiaoxi's character quite a lot, she is soft and weak, but she is much stronger than those girls in her own house!

Marquis Anyuan has no daughters under his feet, only one adopted Zhou Yanji, but the other ladies have two or three daughters, and a lot of concubines are not uncommon at all, but this temperament is also very similar to their respective mothers, either they are either silent, or they are too strong and domineering, which really makes Mrs. Zhou not like it, so she misses the missing Zhou Yanwan even more.

At this moment, the maid waiting outside the house came to report, saying that the eighth young master had come to greet the old lady.

Mrs. Zhou agreed with a smile when she heard this, glanced at Mrs. Zhang meaningfully, and said with a smile, "My mother Yan Ting had a difficult birth when she was a child, and she finally gave birth to him by herself, so I and my lord brought him up with me all these years, and my affection is very deep......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw a young man coming in from outside the house, who looked very similar to An Yuanhou when he was young, but he looked tougher and had a good appearance.

"Yan Ting, why did you come back so early today?" As soon as she saw her precious grandson, the smile on the old woman's face was much more real, not as perfunctory as she had been with Mrs. Zhang before, and introduced to him, "This is Mrs. Zhang, and the other is Mrs. Zhang's daughter, if I remember correctly, the two of you should have met a long time ago, right?" ”

Zhou Yanting glanced at Mrs. Zhang next to him, and first arched his hand to her, "Mrs. Zhang......" and then went back to Old Lady Zhou's words, "Grandmother, I have had a few encounters with Miss Zhang. ”

In the end, Zhou Yanting smiled and said to Zhang Xiaoxi, "Miss Zhang, I don't know if the little finch you treated by Taiye Lake last time was okay?" ”

Zhang Xiaoxi didn't like to answer with people, so when she saw Zhou Yanting asking herself with a smile, she couldn't help but open her mouth, and after thinking for a long time, she remembered that she picked up a small bird in her hand by Taiye Lake last time she played. (To be continued.) )
