Fan Mansion in Beijing, as the first third generation to marry a wife, Fan Ansong's new house is in a good location, separated from the old lady's main courtyard by a sandwich road, is a set of two courtyards, one into three non-partitioned halls and study rooms, there are no east and west wings, a few old trees in the courtyard are shady, two into three main houses with two ears room, three rooms on each side of the east and west, there is no back cover room, but there is a small courtyard, there are two regressions, used as a warehouse.

Mrs. Fan came to see it, nodded and praised the eldest daughter-in-law for being thoughtful and kind, preparing such a good yard for a concubine to make a new house, Mr. Fan also felt that he had face, and he had an indescribable apology for his wife.

Mrs. Fan is generous, prepare such a yard for the concubine, no matter where she stays, it is reasonable! Who knew that Aunt Zhou was not satisfied, she still remembered Fan Anyang's Zhaoran Courtyard, but now that she is at home, not to mention in front of the old lady, even Master Fan has no part to talk to.

Before Mrs. Fan went south, she ordered someone to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the year, and Mrs. Fan knew it for the first time, he had doubts about this matter for many years, but he was really not a big man to meddle in his son's concubine's room, since his daughter-in-law wanted to investigate, he signaled someone to help investigate it thoroughly.

I don't know if I don't check, I found out that Aunt Zhou had money, shops, and Zhuangzi in her hands, so she naturally had manpower, she was from the Yongning Hou Mansion, although she and her father both humiliated the Yongning Hou Mansion, but after all, her mother Wednesday The old lady still lived in the Hou Mansion, saying that there was no contact, but the private correspondence could be close.

Yongning Hou Zhou Zhongchun and Fuyang Hou Yang Jinfu are young, Mrs. Fan knows, Aunt Zhou's father Zhou Zhongqiu is a gentleman, and he died miserably after the separation, because when Aunt Zhou's sister Zhou Jingshui and his own daughter-in-law got close, he was unhappy to ask his wife to remind the eldest daughter-in-law not to get too close to his family.

Who knew that the eldest daughter-in-law was a kind-hearted person, and the sisters of the Zhou family were calculated by their uncle's family, and Zhou Jingshui entrusted her to her. She responded softly, never expecting to open the door to welcome the tiger and usher in a white-eyed wolf who calculated her and wanted to take away her husband. The kindness has all become the liver and lungs of the donkey.

Mrs. Fan originally thought that the Zhou family would no longer interact with the Yongning Marquis Mansion when she entered her own house, but now it seems that there are still contacts in private, but she just avoids their Fan family! Carrying the testimony of those subordinates with their handprints, Mrs. Fan came out of the study in the outer courtyard, and when he walked through the mecca with a heavy heart, he heard the sound of laughter like a bell from Fan Ansong's courtyard, and he couldn't help but look up. How Aunt Zhou got into the door, others don't know, but he and his old wife can't understand it better.

Before entering the door, the housewife was forced to kneel down on her full-term belly and beg her mother-in-law to let her enter the door and enter the door as a concubine. From time to time, he made waves, stirring up constant turmoil between brothers and sisters-in-law, and his tired old wife was so angry that she couldn't afford to get sick.

During the three-year filial piety period, she was a lot of peace, I thought that the eldest son would return to Beijing to report on his work and become an official in Beijing, but she looked at the Zhou family as if she was honest, but she didn't expect her to hook up with the Yang family in a short period of time, and it was too risky to directly murder the master's mother. She made a clever turn, and borrowed the hands of outsiders to remove the dragon and phoenix fetus so that the housemother collapsed and died of sadness, and then she coaxed her husband to correct her, and her children became grandchildren.

At that time, the children were still young, and the husband could remarry after the wife died for a year, but he would not marry again. Fuzheng She also has to wait for a year, Fan Ansong is older, but boys are different, no matter how good they are, they only have a chance. There are good people who are willing to marry daughters, but concubines are not, the first condition for the royal selection of daughters is not to be concubines, no matter how talented they are, no matter how good they look like fairies, they are useless, and concubines are not allowed to be selected, even if they are fake concubines in their names.

Fan Anlan made a fuss before, he was not only bored, but also quite weird, how could a good girl's family make a fuss about entering the palace, and it should be recorded in the name of his mother-in-law, it seems that it is all crooked by the Zhou family.

Now it seems that the Zhou family is really not worthy of being good to her, so Brother Song'er is gone! If he really can't get into the exam, then send him back to his hometown to be a rich man! Save the province as an official to harm one party.

Go back and record Zhou's two children under the name of her son's unborn aunt, find a country gentry for Fan Anlan to marry, and don't look for any official eunuchs, so as to save trouble in the future.

Zhou's can't stay!

As soon as Master Fan returned to the house that night, before he entered the second gate, he asked the old lady's people to call him to the big study, and Aunt Zhou's people waited on the second door.

Mrs. is not at home, Aunt Zhou is becoming more and more arrogant, now the house is in charge of her own daughter-in-law, although it is a concubine, if she really makes a fuss, the third young grandmother really only has a part of obedience, and the other aunts, except for Aunt Jiang, have a daughter, and the other aunts have not given birth.

Some of the shallow eyelids in the house moved closer to Aunt Zhou, after all, people are capable, even if the years have gone, and they have fallen out of favor several times, they can always turn over and be favored again, and having children is better than not having children! Even if she falls out of favor, even if the man forgets her for a while, because she has children who ask for her from time to time, and then remembers her goodness.

If Mrs. is at home, does Aunt Zhou dare to send someone to the second gate to invite the eldest master? In the early years, when she returned to Beijing from her post, Aunt Zhou did this, and later after the eldest lord was transferred several times, she paid more and more attention to the official reputation, if she dared to do this, it would only make the eldest lord unhappy, but after the lady went out, Aunt Zhou became arrogant, and the daily food should not be compared with the lady's share, the third young grandmother did not dare to refuse, and could only quietly use her own body to make up for it.

Aunt Zhou thought that all the money was paid by the public, so that the money was bought and people were installed, and she didn't dare to let people come to the second door and wait for the eldest lord, but she came by herself, under the pretext of discussing Fan Anlan's marriage with the eldest lord, even if the eldest lord was displeased, he was reluctant to tolerate it because it was about his daughter.

Today, Aunt Zhou's people found out the news from the Yongning Hou Mansion, and she was anxious to tell the eldest master that it was about the marriage of her baby daughter, how could she not be in a hurry? The eldest man always told her that he would talk about it when Mrs. Fan returned to Beijing, but Zhou wanted to finalize his daughter's marriage before she returned to Beijing.

Seeing that the table full of dishes was about to be cold, she was busy and sent people to the second gate to take a look, the little maids came and went, but they didn't receive the eldest master, Aunt Fang and the other two new aunts, after dinner, consumed in the yard, watching Aunt Zhou behave like this, couldn't help leaning together, and said cool words.

Aunt Zhou listened to it in the room.

hated Ding's slut, and said that he wanted to repair the house that year. Later, he said that there were so many masters in the family, and they had never wronged the owners of each house, and the concubines who had a long house had withdrawn their courtyards. Let them all live in the same courtyard, and say that since they are concubines, the people waiting around them should not cross the masters, and cut the people waiting around them to only one big girl, two small maids, if you want more, you have to pay for it every month.

Aunt Zhou used to have a rich family, but since she entered Beijing, her life is no longer so good, and her actions are not as convenient as when she was in office. If she wants to go out, she will go out, and there will be exclusive carriages and horses for her to use, and now if she wants to go out, even if the housewife agrees, there is no sedan car waiting. It's hard to move an inch.

Thanks to her taking advantage of Ding's absence, she coaxed the eldest man to agree to let her go out under the pretext of wanting to see her daughter, and finally persuaded her mother to go and set up news with her eldest uncle, thinking that she should quickly tell the eldest master about it, but who knew that the eldest master would not show up and not say anything. It also attracted a few sluts to gossip there.

It's all Ding's fault, several of their aunts live in the same courtyard, and everyone else knows who moves!

Aunt Zhou was scolding here, but it suddenly quieted down outside, and Aunt Zhou's eldest maid felt that something was wrong. Hurriedly walked to the window to look outside, only to see that the few aunts who were chatting under the old tree in the courtyard were all quiet, and a few grandmothers were walking from the courtyard gate, and the leader was a scribe about forty years old, who was the old lady's henchman Xu Steward. Normally, the steward does not enter the second door, but this one is different, he is in charge of the punishment in the house, and usually when he appears, it means that someone is going to be punished.

It's just that the old lady has always cared about the affairs of the old man's inner house, if someone makes a mistake, and the lady is not there at the moment, he must wait until the lady returns to the house to deal with it, so what is he doing?

The eldest maid was puzzled and wanted to tell Aunt Zhou, but she was surprised to see that the steward led a few rough envoys to Aunt Zhou's room.

Isn't it that Aunt Zhou has been going out frequently these days and annoying the old lady, right? Just thinking about it, the door was pushed open suddenly, Aunt Zhou was so frightened that she jumped up, and waved her hand to hit the person in the face, but she didn't hit, but someone twisted her wrist hard.

"Aunt Zhou, the old lady is invited." Mrs. Fan's henchman Xu said lightly.

"You, bold!" Aunt Zhou yelled inwardly, and then her heart and lungs hurt because her wrist was pinched, so painful that she could only exhale loudly and couldn't speak.

Steward Xu didn't say much to her, and motioned to the mothers-in-law who came with her to search the house, and took down the people waiting around Aunt Zhou, "Send Aunt Zhou over first, and the others will be sent to the backyard." When the big and small maids heard that they were going to be sent to the backyard, they couldn't help but tremble, and the corners of Steward Xu's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, "If you want to save your life, ask and answer for a while, and never hide it, if you have a good attitude, let the steward save trouble, maybe I will be in front of the old lady and help you say a few good words." ”

Aunt Zhou was anxious when she heard this, struggling to say something, grabbing her mother-in-law and exerting force on her wrist, which immediately hurt her tears and snot.

"Aunt Zhou herself can't be protected, so I don't want her to protect you!" Steward Xu raised his chin to the mother-in-law who was holding Aunt Zhou, and the mother-in-law immediately increased her strength, and Aunt Zhou only felt that the bones of her wrists were about to be crushed, and she screamed in pain.

The maids were so frightened that they nodded their heads in agreement, and they must have answered all questions. Steward Xu nodded, waved his hand, Aunt Zhou was escorted away first, and her maids were also taken away, Steward Xu asked others to search the house, and he took the two mothers-in-law to walk out of the house, under the old tree in the courtyard, the aunts who were standing together and chatting, saw that Aunt Zhou, who had always been high-spirited, was escorted away, and they were all close together, their faces were pale, and their eyes looked at Steward Xu vigilantly.

"That is Aunt Fang?"

As soon as the words fell, the two new aunts hurriedly jumped away from Aunt Fang, Aunt Fang hated it, and responded in a trembling voice: "The concubine is here."

"Congratulations to Aunt Fang! The old lady is in charge, and she wants to record the three girls in your name. After speaking, he slowly paced back to Aunt Zhou's house, staring at the people and searching the house.

Aunt Fang is like falling into a cloud for five miles here, and she wants to keep Fan Anlan in her name? What does this mean? Fan Anlan, she has Aunt Zhou!

The two new aunts next to them and the big and small maids waiting for them were also at a loss, what was going on?

Only Aunt Jiang, who was sitting in the room embroidering Fan Anju's clothes and belts, whispered to the big girl beside her, "It seems that Aunt Zhou did the evil back then, let the old lady know!" ”

"Auntie, old lady, this is ......"

Aunt Jiang sighed, "It's not hers, racking her brains and calculating everything, but she still can't get it after all." ”
