"Good." Dong nodded, her eyes were no longer so cold, and she said again: "Lao Ren will invite the family slaughter back, and you can retire first!" The house slaves were relieved, and they all got up and bowed down slowly.

For these house slaves, the Dong family has slowed down their minds a little, the Han people have always valued their promises and trusts, not to mention that they are the slaves of the Hou Mansion, and they are both prosperous and lossy with the Hou Mansion, and they will not do anything to damage the Hou Mansion in the future.

Subsequently, Dong took two maids and went to the back kitchen, she was not from a high background, and her father and ancestors were just a rich family, with a small land, but after marrying into the Hou Mansion, she had not entered the back kitchen for a long time.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a group of cooks in the Hou Mansion looking around the goldfish, all of them were attentive, and they didn't notice that their mother had come in, and the maid shouted: "How dare you be rude!" ”

Hearing this, the cooks turned around one after another, and when they saw the master's mother, they were so frightened that they bowed their hands one after another, Dong waved his hand and said: "This thing is a gift from God to my son, and you are a cronie of the Hou Mansion. ”

"Thank you, my mother!" Whether it is sincere or false, these people have made a loyal and grateful appearance, Dong smiled and nodded, helped them, and said, "Then get up and get busy." After speaking, he didn't leave, and the two maids stood aside and watched, under the gaze of the master's mother, everyone suddenly became busy, some burned the stove, some sharpened the knife, in and out.

Dong didn't want to leave, she felt in her heart that this goldfish actually hid the book of heaven in its belly, and it must have a great future, if it was for me to eat, it would be good to think about it, she just stood there and waited, and she didn't feel hard, the cook pulled out the gold scales, and wanted to clean the internal organs, and suddenly found that the goldfish had no internal organs, and under the surprise, she could only chop the big fish into several pieces and put it into the kettle to boil.

Bursts of fragrance came to the surroundings, Dong just smelled a mouthful, and his appetite was greatly aroused, and after about half an hour, the big fish was completely made into a pot of fish soup, and the house slaves brought the fish soup to the side hall, Dong made someone call Liu Hong, the little fat man was just taken back to the room by semi-compulsory, and now he was brought out again, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was hung on his mouth, muttering, and slowly and leisurely.

Dong first picked a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, the meat suddenly melted in his mouth, turned into a stream of meat juice, and surged straight to the abdomen, but the taste was not fragrant, but just one bite, it made Dong feel exhausted, very comfortable, she nodded, and then shouted to Liu Hong: "Come, eat it!" The little fat man sniffed it, then quickly ran to Dong's side and looked down.

"This is the big fish I caught?"

"Eat!" Dong didn't talk nonsense with him, the little fat man only felt that he was more and more unable to understand his mother, obviously when he didn't eat, he was not allowed to eat more before, and now he forced himself to eat, but the little fat man was so palatable, licked his lips, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, and after taking a bite, the meat turned into juice and flowed directly into the belly of the little fat man.

The little fat man touched his abdomen in shock, looked up at Dong, Dong frowned sternly, and shouted, "Eat!" The little fat man had no choice but to continue eating, although the meat was not fragrant, but it was not unpalatable, the little fat man ate it again, and he felt full, such a big fish, he couldn't eat it alone, he looked up and said: "Mother, this fish is so big, I can't eat it alone, or eat together." ”

Dong shook his head and said, "You can eat this fish, the rest can't, I can't, don't have more tongues, eat it!" ”

The little fat man nodded thoughtfully, and this sentence has always been deeply remembered by him, and he will think that it is the foundation of the world in the future.

Under the persecution of his mother, the little fat man was sweating profusely, and ate the whole fish little by little, although the fish was big, but there were no internal organs, and there was not much meat, mostly bone spurs, Dong helped him pick out the fish bones on the side, and fed him all the meat, and finally, even the soup was forcibly poured into Liu Hong's mouth, and the little fat man felt that eating it could become so painful for the first time!

In the end, he was carried back to the dormitory by the house slaves, and his belly swelled into a round ball, and it was difficult to sit still, and as soon as the little servants put him on the bed, the little fat man fell into a deep sleep, and even snored.

And then, the whole Hou Mansion also began to get busy, before the head of the house was the Han Dynasty, that was the princes and kings gave up their official positions, but in the present dynasty, it refers to the family steward, the Hou Mansion steward surnamed Liu, is the Hou Mansion Yuan House brother, entered the house for more than 50 years, everyone respects it, before the Dong family called, is he, he was busy outside because of the spring planting, learned of the auspicious Rui, so he rushed to the Hou Mansion, and met the people sent by the Dong family on the way, so he hurried to arrive.

Steward Liu stood in the hall of the main room, on crutches, the whole person shrunk into a ball, swaying, trembling, it seemed that he would fall down at any time, the old man's face was full of vicissitudes, he was thin, his eyes were squinted, Dong hurriedly gave a seat, and there were Jian Nu on the side to help the old man sit down.

"Three years have passed since the death of my husband, and in these three years, the king is diligent and loyal, and the concubine is grateful." As soon as Dong finished speaking, Steward Liu trembled and bowed: "What is the words of the master mother?" The old man has no talent, his virtue is mediocre, and he doesn't dare to take on the big thank you of the main mother. ”。

The Han Dynasty valued filial piety and the elderly, how could the Dong family dare to be worshiped by Steward Liu, and hurriedly bowed back.

Old people over 80 years old can not worship officials in the Han Dynasty, and even the emperor must bow and worship in a proper manner.

Although Steward Liu is only in his sixties, the Dong family must also be respectful, respecting the old and loving the young is the Han custom, and no one can make an exception.

"Come to think of it, the old man is close to the sixtieth year, the old eyes are dizzy, and he is about to return home and enjoy his family..."

Dong knew in his heart that his words were a little abrupt, this Liu steward thought badly, she hurriedly said today's things slowly, Liu steward's eyes widened, and he didn't say a word, until Dong finished speaking, he came to his senses, and his whole body trembled a little, auspicious, Shaojun has a great creation! He opened the old eyes that were originally cloudy, his eyes were clear, where was the slightest bit old?

"It's... The Mother of the House... "The old man has stayed in the Hou Mansion all his life, growing up with the grandfather of the Shaojun Hou, and the previous generation of the Marquis of the Pavilion was personally brought up by him, not to mention that the old man has no heirs, he has long regarded Liu Hong as his own, and loves him very much, at this moment, his voice is trembling, and his words are not good, but the spiritual energy of the whole person seems to have returned to the peak, and the whole person is like a sword out of the sheath!

"There is no queen of heaven... Whoever is destined for it, so is my son! Dong also said directly in his heart, if even this old man who has worked diligently for the Hou Mansion for decades can't be trusted, how can anyone trust?

"Not good!" The old man got up suddenly, Jian Nu was stunned, and wanted to hold on, but he pushed him away, the old man's face turned red, and he scolded Jian Nu: "You don't have long eyes, go and guard the door!" The house slave ran out in a hurry, and for a while, the Dong family was also dumbfounded, didn't they all say that Liu Jun was old and exhausted, and he was afraid that he wouldn't survive until the end of the year? How is this....

"Master, although those domestic slaves are all the private slaves of my Liu family, they can't be fully trusted, and there are inevitably other people's eyes and ears, how can you just let them go? Ask the mistress to order someone to go to their home with a heavy gift and thank their mother and wife for their merits! Steward Liu's eyes flashed a little fiercely, and said: "Send them to the old decay again, the matter of spring planting, we still need some house slaves to help!" ”

Dong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Good." ”

In an instant, the old man returned to his original muddy old state, and said with a trembling salute: "In addition, I also ask the master mother to keep in mind that the matter of the Book of Heaven is very important, and it must not be revealed, it is the Qi family... It is absolutely impossible, the main mother is the mother of the Liu family, not the Dong family! After speaking, the old man retired and left, Dong frowned and was silent.
