In the capital, in the small courtyard to the west of the Pingliao Hou Mansion, there are new Jiao guests living in the Hou Mansion, and when several maids pass by the path in front of the courtyard, they can't help but look inside.

"I heard the old lady in the kitchen say that this mother-in-law saved the Hou Ye who was killed back then, otherwise the old general may not be able to come back!" Rong said with a long face and a maid wearing an emerald green armor.

The other maid had a mole on the corner of her mouth, which looked very pretty, and after listening to the former's words, she raised her chin, "Listen to what you said, it seems that Miss Jingshu's mother is a great hero of our Hou Mansion." ”

"Whether it is a great hero or not, now because of Miss Jingshu, our Miss Jingxian doesn't have to marry the Mo family and marry a lame!"

A few of them were talking happily, and a big girl wearing silver and red gold armor came quietly behind them, she walked behind them, and saw that they didn't notice their arrival at all, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, "You all have nothing to do!" ”

"Hey!" A few maids were startled, turned their heads to look, and saw that the person who came with willow eyebrows and eyes full of anger, and was busy begging for mercy.

"What are you gossiping about standing here, probably because you are afraid that Madame will not know that you are talking here, right?"

"Sister Luqiao spare us! We don't dare in the future! ”

Lu Qiao is the confidant of the county lord of Xiuning, the wife of the Marquis of Pingliao, at the age of eighteen, she has beautiful facial features and a healthy body, she is literate and does not speak, she can also settle accounts, smart and gentle, I don't know how many people take a fancy to it, and want to ask the county lord to be a daughter-in-law, but the county lord did not let go, as Lu Qiao got older, everyone also saw that the county lord deliberately kept Lu Qiao. I think it's either for the Hou Ye or for the prince to be a room, right?

The old man who was green was originally on an errand in the palace of King Lu, but she committed an accident in the early years and was scolded to death by King Lu. Princess Lu was soft-hearted, and when she saw that Lu Qiao was young, she made the decision to spare her life, and sent her to her daughter on an errand.

With this kindness, Lu Qiao's loyalty is undoubted, but also because of her past experience, if she has spare power, she is always kind to others, and many maids and stewards' daughters-in-law make the county lord angry. It was her affection that saved her from the fate of being reprimanded by the rod.

Therefore, when these maids saw her, they were shocked. I was also secretly glad that if it was Green Sleeves or Green Fei, they would definitely not have good fruit to eat.

Seeing that the tongue-chewing maids had scattered far away, Lu Qiao stepped on the path paved with 10,000 characters and continuous head patterns to the small courtyard. After finding the grandmother in charge of the small courtyard to inquire about the new lady's situation, after checking all parts of the small courtyard, he stood under the verandah and quietly looked at the new young lady sitting in the inner room for a while before turning to leave.

Dou Jingshu, who was wrapped in a heavy fur coat and had a pale face, held the butterfly dance spring breeze enamel cloisonné hand stove, sat on the kang near the window, and looked away with disgust for the medicine bowl handed over by the maid, "Don't eat." ”

"This is a new medicine prescribed by the doctor. If you don't eat it, how can this disease get better? The maid holding the medicine bowl looked flat, and was not moved by Dou Jingshu's refusal at all.

Today's Dou Jingshu has long since lost Ding Xiaoqing's good looks. The yellow face, wilting eyes, the long dry hair is loosely tied behind the head with a hairband, and the apricot yellow wipes the weak clothes around the forehead, which looks delicate, which is the appearance of the first recovery from a serious illness.

Dou Jingshu turned her face away. Refusing to touch the bowl of medicine, she has grown up since she was a child. It's not that she hasn't been sick, although her adoptive mother hates her, she has never treated her harshly with food and clothing, not to mention that her own mother sent someone to serve her later, even if her adoptive mother wants to detain her, those people will not do this.

But why, when she left her adoptive parents and wanted to go back to her mother, the people waiting around her dared to poison her?

Don't think she doesn't know, when she lived in Guangling City, they didn't let her go out, and occasionally let her go out, and when she came back, she got sick, and the doctor she invited didn't help at all, and the medicine she gave her was useless, and her body became weaker and weaker.

originally thought that when she returned to her mother, she would be able to sue her mother and let her mother help her get angry, but who knows, when she arrived in the capital, she returned to her mother, but her identity was the daughter born in the outer room of the Marquis of Pingliao, obviously her mother is the county lord, but she can't call her mother, she has to call her mother!

The people who escorted her all the way back to Beijing, if it weren't for the county lord's instructions, how could they dare to attack her? She thought that her mother would send someone to wait for her in the Ding family's room, she must be a loving woman, and she was afraid that her daughter would be wronged in the Ding family, so she would send someone to take care of the waiter, but who knew that she was wrong.

The county lord is kind to his children, but only to his eldest son Dou Jianfu and eldest daughter Dou Jingxian, as for herself, it is just evidence of her young and willful derailment, and she sent someone to take care of her, but for fear that it was not for herself, but for her adoptive parents, right?

People raised an illegitimate daughter for her, for this daughter, even the name of the biological daughter was occupied, and she could not return to her hometown for burial after passing away for many years, and the county lord of Xiuning did not thank them, and the beautiful name was to send someone to wait for her daughter, but in fact, she asked people to teach her daughter to be separated from her adoptive parents' family.

Dou Jingshu didn't know that she could stay in the Ding family because of her biological father's trust, not her biological mother, and the county lord of Xiuning didn't think about getting rid of her, but the marriage contract between the Dou and Mo families made her hesitate.

Old Nan Jingbo is concerned about the eldest grandson's family affairs, and when he was dying, he made a family appointment with Lao Ping Liaohou, he has been fighting for many years, only knowing that the Dou family has a lot of little girls who are the same age as the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson has a crippled leg, he just wants to ask for a wife for him, Lao Ping Liaohou sees that his old friend is not protecting his life, of course he wants him to get his wish, but he doesn't know that his granddaughter is suitable.

When the two parents agreed to marry on the battlefield, no one thought that this matter would spread out, and it was a beautiful talk, General Mo valued friendship and threw away his brother's life, and General Dou valued his love and righteousness, and promised his granddaughter a crippled leg as a wife for his brother.

Dou Jingshu didn't expect that she would become a party in this family business.

She is not a member of the Dou family, but her mother is Mrs. Pingliao, who lives in the Hou Mansion, and from the words of the servants around her, Dou Jingshu finally understands that the county lord's mother took her back and changed her identity, the purpose is to let her go to fulfill this marriage contract on behalf of the daughter of the Dou family.

According to the rumors, she was frail and sickly, and she had been recuperating in the Zhuangzi in the south since she was a child, because of this, so that she would not be cured for a long time, so as to conform to the rumors?

Dou Jingshu didn't dare to think about it, now she was surrounded by people sent by the county lord. Even if she is full of troubles, she has no one to complain about.

Early this morning, she heard a heartbreaking news that Du Yunxun had actually engaged to Fan Anyang's little fool! The little fool hasn't reached the end yet. But the parents of the two have decided to let the two of them get married at the end of the year.

When she left the Ding family, she was still full of confidence, when she returned to her mother, she was supported by the county lord's mother, and she wanted to marry Du Yunxun, wouldn't it be a matter of her mother's words? Who knows, it backfires!

Raise your eyes and look at the towering tree in the yard. Although it was autumn, the withered yellow leaves on the canopy of the old trees struggled in the bitter autumn wind. Unwilling to drift with the wind, Dou Jingshu feels that she is like the withered yellow leaves, can she only be at the mercy of the wind, and she can't earn her own life?

But he said that it was green. I left the small courtyard and went to the main house, and met a little maid on an errand at the second door halfway through, "Sister Luqiao." ”

"Why did you get here?"

"The princess of the palace sent her grandmother." When Lu Qiao heard the word "palace", her face sank slightly, the little maid looked at her and hurriedly pulled her hand, Lu Qiao came back to her senses, "What did Mrs. Shizi send Mama to do?" ”

"Isn't that the eighth girl?" The little maid looked old, "Sister forgot!" She didn't fight with our young lady that time, and she quarreled and quarreled until the end. She must let King Huai call her mother-in-law, saying that our young lady can only marry a lame man as his wife, and he can't even inherit the title! ”

There are no good words to quarrel. Lu Qiao sighed, "What's wrong with the eighth girl?" ”

"She left a book and ran away! Thanks to the tenth girl's cleverness, she led someone to catch up, but the people around the eighth girl heard about our new lady and sent someone to Zhuangzi to investigate. ”

I want Mrs. Shizi to send someone in the future, just to remind my sister-in-law to be vigilant. Don't let your niece get caught in any way, and in turn blackmail her to be an aunt.

Lu Qiao snorted coldly in his heart. Mrs. Shizi can't control her concubine by herself, so can she hope that her sister-in-law will help her? Thinking that her father and mother were sacrificed by such an unresponsible master as Mrs. Shizi, Lu Qiao couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand.

"Sister Midori?" The little maid looked at her worriedly, and Lu Qiao came back to her senses and patted her head comfortingly, "It's okay, how much better has your grandma been these days?" ”

"Well, it's much better!" The little maid talked to her a few more words, and slipped a note into her hand as she left.

Lu Qiao's heart was beating wildly, and he quietly stuffed the note into the purse around his waist before going to the main room.

The county lord of Xiuning had just sent away the grandmother sent by Mrs. Lu Wangshizi, and when he saw her come in, he called her to help her rub her head, "How is it, is that girl still safe?" ”

"Anfen, she is the county lord who is the master of the house and is fortunate to be accepted into the mansion, so she naturally listens to the county lord."

"That's good!" The county lord of Xiuning didn't just ask, and quickly threw it to the back of his mind, "What happened to the few families I asked you to ask someone to inquire about?" ”

Lu Qiao replied in a low voice, and then stepped forward to sit down with the little pestle beside the county lord, and whispered to her.

After talking for about half an hour, before he finished speaking, the county lord of Xiuning sighed heavily after listening, "Why is it so difficult to choose a son-in-law?" ”

"County master, when the slave and maid are coming back, I heard from Changshi and the chief manager that Nanjing Bofu received the news that Second Young Master Mo brought it back, saying that it was that Young Master Mo's leg was expected to recover."

"What?" The county lord of Xiuning was taken aback, "How is it possible?" Didn't the lame man's leg say that it was hopeless? Otherwise, Old Man Mo wouldn't be dying and still thinking about him! ”

Lu Qiao shook his head, "The slave doesn't know, but I don't know if it's true or false when I hear what Changshi and the chief manager said!" ”

The county lord of Xiuning waved his hand at her in disbelief and asked her to retreat, Lu Qiao got up and retreated respectfully, and the county lord of Xiuning asked his henchman Ke Mama to summon, "You let your father's people go to check, be quick." ”

"Yes." This Mama Ke was specially allocated to his daughter by King Lu, and this time she was also sent to pick up Dou Jingshu in the south, and Mama Ke, who was ordered to leave, walked to the door, and turned back hesitantly and said: "County Lord, do you want to say hello to the prince of the world about this?" ”

"No need!" The county lord of Xiuning paused, and then changed his mind, "No, let's talk to him!" After all, this matter is related to whether or not the Mo family can be brought over. ”

"Yes." Mama Ke agreed, turned and left.

Mama Ke went out of the Pingliao Marquis's Mansion and went to the shop set up in the Lu Wangfu near the Pingliao Marquis Mansion, and after the Xiuning County Lord told her to go down, when she left the shop and wanted to go back to the Hou Mansion, she unexpectedly saw the Pingliao Marquis with two long entourages talking outside a shop selling rouge gouache, Ke Mama wanted to come forward to salute, who knew how to move, and saw a beautiful woman and two girls coming out of the shop, the two girls were about fifteen or six years old.

Mama Ke was frightened when she saw it, and forcibly suppressed her feelings, pretending to be curious and inquired to the shopkeeper who was probing on the side of the road, "Auntie, whose daughter is that!" What a good birth! If only I could be my daughter-in-law! ”

"Whew! Those two are the daughters of the Marquis of Pingliao, and they are the daughters of the high-ranking Hou Mansion, how can your kid be able to climb high! ”

Mama Ke exclaimed, "The daughter of the Hou Mansion? The daughter of the county lord's mother? ”

"No, no, they weren't born to the county lord's mother, it's that one, see?" The eldest lady pointed to the beautiful woman standing on the side and said: "They were born to the one, speaking of which, she is really blessed, she gave birth to two pairs of children, but she is still so beautiful that she seems to have never been born, alas! But if it weren't for the county lord's mother, she would be the rightful Mrs. Hou! ”

When Mama Ke heard this, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked in a low voice, "Why is Auntie so clear!" ”

"Whew! You're not talking nonsense! These shops belong to my wife, how can I not know about my own owner's affairs? ”

Do you dare to love that these shops are all from the outer room of Master Hou?

Mama Ke felt so ironic, the county lord regarded the daughter born of his red apricot out of the wall as the Hou Ye's outer room, and asked her to fulfill the marriage contract for the Dou family's daughter, but she didn't know that there was really an outer room outside the Hou Ye, not only to help him give birth to a daughter, but also to have a son!

Over there, the Marquis of Pingliao asked people to wait for their daughters to get into the car, and he helped the beautiful woman into another carriage, and Mama Ke saw the carriage coming towards her, so she hurriedly lowered her head and avoided the side of the road, and heard the voice of the Marquis of Pingliao coming from the car.

"Don't worry, when the Mo family's family affairs are resolved, I will want my daughters to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. There will be no delay in their family affairs. (To be continued)
