On weekdays, Yun Xiu must not have been able to kick her feet, and today she was so exhausted that she didn't even bother to hum.

Ling Xiao saw that she hadn't moved for a long time, thinking that she was angry, she leaned down to comfort her, "Don't you still have me if the county lord has an opinion on you, you said that your temper is the same as your stomach, and you are growing day by day." “

"I'm tired, can't I complain a few words?" Yun Xiu turned her face from the soft pillow, "In the next life, I will also be a man and suffer as a woman." “

"That's not good," Ling Xiao laughed out loud, "We are suitable to be husband and wife, not brothers." “

Yun Xiu: "??"

Let's put on a dog's brain.

Ling Xiao lowered his head and kissed Bai Nen's cheek, "Have a good rest these days, and when you arrive at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, you are more tired than today." “

"I don't want to go." Yun Xiu covered the soft pillow and spoke, "On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, let me stay alone in the house and sleep." “

"That's not going to work." Ling Xiao picked her up, lay on his lap, and touched her green silk for a while, "There are few people in the Hou Mansion, everyone in the Beijing circle knows that there is such a big grandmother as you, the palace must have heard the rumors, you and your mother went to the harem to see the Empress Dowager, and the old man Xu was happy to seal your fate, it is better than waiting for an eternity." “

There is a circle of noblewomen in the Beijing circle, and naturally there is also a circle of noblewomen, and the lord of Pingkang, Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Wen do not need to be said. The bride wants to integrate into the circle, most of them are noble girls who marry the right lord's family, and they can do it in one step, like Yun Xiu, at least the four grades of life are qualified.

Yun Xiu felt that she had chosen a difficult path, and suddenly understood why the old lady didn't let her climb high in the first place.

Climb high, climb high, unattainable.

"What do you think? So fascinating? Ling Xiao's voice pulled back her thoughts.

"It's nothing," Yun Xiu looked at him and chuckled, a little tired, "Husband, is it okay to hug the concubine?" “

Ling Xiao couldn't resist Wu Nong's gentle offensive, and immediately fell, hugged her into his arms, and wondered, "What's wrong?" Tired of a tiger becoming a cat? “

"you." Yun Xiu teased and pushed him. "Zhongyi Marquis marries a tigress, is it good to spread it?"

"Whether it's good or not, it's a fact." Ling Xiao sighed, "I don't know my heart, I fell into the Pansi Hole, and I couldn't get out." “

"You're a goblin!" Yun Xiu sat up and glared at him, "Turn around and scold me, when I can't hear it." “

The two laughed in the car, and the sound reached the car in front of them, and the lord of Pingkang frowned when he heard it.

"Master Hou, listen to it, what kind of system will it become?" She pointed behind her, "We are still on the street, and they are interceding and scolding in the car." Let passers-by hear, what do you think of the Ling family, how do you talk about the Hou Mansion? “

The old marquis closed his eyes and recuperated, and the word "um" came out of his nasal cavity, and he didn't say anything more.

"What do you mean?" Lord Pingkang felt that his position was threatened, and said angrily, "When the bride enters the door, Brother Xiao is facing her, I understand one or two, and you also protect her?" “

The old marquis opened his eyes and asked with a little impatience: "What kind of temperament does your son have, don't you know?" “

"Brother Xiao is a brother, but Yun Xiu should be self-disciplined," Lord Pingkang didn't think Ling Xiao was wrong, "Do you look at the several daughters-in-law of the Dingguo Mansion, which one is as bold as Yun Xiu?" “

"Alright, alright," the old marquis raised his hand to interrupt, "these words, keep them and teach your precious son slowly." “

Lord Pingkang choked: "What do you mean by not caring about this?" “

The old marquis closed his eyes again, as if he was in a state of mind, and stopped talking.

A nameless fire burst out of the county lord of Pingkang's heart, burning from the tip of his toes to the tip of his hair, and said coldly: "Cheng, you don't care, don't blame me for not giving face to the bride and setting rules for others." “

As soon as the car stopped at the Hanging Flower Gate, the head of Pingkang County got out, helped Kang's mother get out of the car, paced to the car behind, and said in a righteous voice: "Yun Xiu, come down." “

Yun Xiu didn't expect her mother-in-law to suddenly find her, and hurriedly shoeed her in response, "Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law is coming." “

She hurriedly got out of the car, afraid that she would not be dressed properly, stroked her hair bun, and pulled her neckline again.

Lord Pingkang looked at a series of movements, his expression became even colder, and he glanced at Ling Xiao who came out with him, "You go back to the house, I have something to explain to Yun Xiu." “

Ling Xiao felt that the county lord's expression was wrong, and then looked at Yun Xiu, she lowered her eyebrows, stroked her stomach, and grabbed Chunliu's hand strongly, looking ready to be trained.

"Mother, it's late tonight, it's not too late to say anything tomorrow." He was a little distressed, "You are tired for a day, you might as well rest early, and my son will send you." “

"Get in!" The county lord of Pingkang rarely scolded Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was stunned, and when he caught a glimpse of the old man who walked into the door of the weeping flowers, he shouted "Dad", and deliberately snorted, "What's wrong with my mother today?" “

The old marquis's footsteps did not stop, and his figure disappeared into the verandah.

Ling Xiao pondered, the old couple was angry?

"Not leaving?" The county lord of Pingkang glanced at his son, turned to Yun Xiu and said, "Brother Xiao'er Ming'er wants to start early, you come to the flower hall with me, don't disturb him to rest." “

Yun Xiu said yes, and then looked at Ling Xiao: "You go back to the house first, and I will come after serving my mother-in-law." “

Ling Xiao didn't want to leave, she quietly pinched his fingertips and gave him a look.

He sighed, said, "Mother, please come back early", and then took off his robe and stepped into the weeping flower door to leave.

Yun Xiu thought that there was a place to rest when she entered the flower hall, but the county lord of Pingkang deliberately found fault and asked her to serve tea.

Chunliu wanted to help, but Kang's mother came up and slapped her, "What are you!" Grandma's face dare to rob it? “

Yun Xiu frowned slightly, endured the pain in her feet, put the tea cup firmly on the square table, and pleaded: "Mother-in-law, Chunliu is the protector of the heart, not ignorant of the severity, Mother Kang's slap is really heavy." “

"If the slave is wrong, she should be punished, Mother Kang taught her the rules," the county lord of Pingkang picked up the cup, blew the foam, and said lightly, "The Hou Mansion has always only raised domestic slaves, not servants, as soon as you enter the door, you should know the rules of the Ling family, it seems that Ling Xiao didn't tell you, patronizing and spoiling you." “

"Mother-in-law, the little marquis is busy with official duties on weekdays, and his daughter-in-law does her best to serve her, and she doesn't dare to invite pets," Yun Xiu defended, "I just ask him to relax, share his worries for his father-in-law, and maintain the dignity of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion." “

"Do you still know the word decency?" The county lord of Pingkang put down the tea cup and sneered, "Look at your clothes and posture, you can't even wear shoes, can you talk about half decent?" The whole street heard the laughter in the carriage. “

Yun Xiu rubbed her foot into her shoes, bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law knows her mistake and doesn't dare to have a next time." “

"Don't dare?" The county lord of Pingkang was unforgiving, and snorted coldly, "You are really bold and careful, relying on Brother Xiao to spoil you." Relying on your mother's status in Yandao, fighting for the face of a wife, can you have my mother-in-law in your eyes? You go and ask Yun Ying, Mrs. Lu stuffed people for Brother Heng, does she dare to go back? You--"

As he spoke, the county lord got up and helped Kang's mother to walk out, and his voice floated over, "Brother Xiao will let you go for a day, I will let you, Brother Xiao will not allow you in the future, you will do it." “

Seeing people walking away, Chunliu covered her face, helped Yun Xiu, and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, are you okay?" “

Yun Xiu shook his head, sat in the circle chair, gritted his teeth and said, "Chunliu, find someone else, I can't walk." “

Chunliu saw that her ankles were swollen and she couldn't see, she was frightened, and she hurriedly ran back to the small courtyard and patted the door of the main house: "Little Hou Ye!" Little Hou Ye! Hurry up and take a look, the grandmother's feet are all swollen, and she says she can't come back! “

Ling Xiao opened the door, asked someone to prepare hot water, and rushed to the flower hall, picked up the person horizontally, and walked back.

"You don't know what to say!" He put Yun Xiu on the bed, anxious and angry, "Weekdays are the way, but today is a squib!" “

"What are you shouting?" Yun Xiu took off the hairpin ring, took off his coat, spread out the quilt, got into it weakly, and turned his back to him, "I'm so tired, I don't want to argue with you, so I went to sleep first." “

When she finished, she was silent.

Ling Xiao climbed onto the bed and turned the person over, and found that Yun Xiu had fallen asleep.

Chunliu brought hot water in, and I didn't know how to advance or retreat for a while.

"Let it go." Ling Xiao sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the red and swollen half of her face, "What's the matter with your face?" Who hit it? “

Chunliu hurriedly covered it. Shaking his head, he said, "No one hit, it was the slave who accidentally hit it just now." “

"Is it Yun Xiu who won't let you say it?" Ling Xiao's eyes were gloomy, "She's asleep, what do you say, I don't blame you." “

"No one beats the slave and maid," Chunliu didn't admit it, "Don't ask, don't care, don't care, otherwise it will be even more difficult for the grandmother." “

Ling Xiao didn't understand the backyard, but he wasn't stupid, "What did the county lord say in the flower hall?" “

Chunliu lowered her head and said cowardly: "The county lord didn't say anything. “

"Say!" Ling Xiao suddenly kicked over the pestle resting beside the bed and raised his voice.

Chunliu was so frightened that she knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Back to the words of the little marquis, the county lord really didn't say anything, if you don't believe it, you can ask the eldest grandmother." “

"Okay, you are a loyal servant," Ling Xiao looked up angrily, "Don't say it now, don't say it if you want to say it tomorrow morning!" “

Chunliu's tears swirled in her eyes, and she couldn't speak: "No, it's not, little marquis??"

Before he finished speaking, Ling Xiao said in a loud voice: "Someone! Escort the spring willow out, and call the tooth woman to come at dawn! “

"Little Hou Ye, Little Hou Ye!" Chunliu panicked and was dragged out, "The slave is true!" You're a good idea! Little Hou Ye! “

"Where are you going to take Chunliu to?" Yun Xiu was woken up by a shrill voice and grabbed Ling Xiao's hand. Beat the spirit and spoke, "You have a temper to rush at me, don't embarrass others." “

Ling Xiao turned his head and snorted: "You are a good slave, you are very strict-mouthed, and you are protected everywhere." “

"I didn't let her say it," Yun Xiu struggled to stand up and looked at him, "Mother-in-law taught me the rules, it should be, Chunliu is still a girl, I can't understand it, I can't hear it, I don't bother to explain, why did you kill it." “

Ling Xiao frowned, didn't bother with her, and only asked, "What's the matter with Chunliu's face?" Who hit it? “

"Mother Kang beat me," Yun Xiu was already dissatisfied with this mother-in-law, and said bluntly, "But she is a mother-in-law's wife, and she is in charge of the courtyard on weekdays, and I told Chunliu not to offend anyone." “

Ling Xiao didn't understand a little: "Why did she hit Chunliu?" “

Yun Xiu listened to it funny: "Why? You told me that it was a common thing for Stone to be bullied by the recruits in the barracks. “

Ling Xiao understood seven or eight points, only said that he knew, and asked someone to release Chunliu.

Yun Xiu thought that the matter would settle down, and two days later, she finished breakfast with Ling Xiao as usual, and then went back to sleep, before she got into the quilt, and heard the sound of hurried footsteps under the corridor.

"Big grandma, big grandma," Chun Liu was out of breath, not taking a breath, in Yangzhou dialect, "Mother Kang was beaten by the little marquis, and there were two blood marks on her face, saying that she was whipped by a horsewhip, which scared people to death." “

"You speak slowly," Yun Xiu heard in a fog, "Didn't the little marquis go out, how could he beat Mother Kang?" “

"The slave doesn't know." Chunliu's head shook like a rattle, "I just sent the food box to the small kitchen, listening to a few little girls chewing the root of their tongues, it seems that the county lord asked Mother Kang to send something to the little marquis, and Mother Kang chased to the weeping flower door and was beaten." “

Yun Xiu couldn't cry or laugh: "There is always a reason for being beaten, it can't be for no reason." “

"Yes," Chunliu was so happy just now that she would react, "The slave will go and inquire again, and the grandmother will wait a moment." “

She ran out again in a hurry, and inquired about a stick of incense.

"Mother Kang is really bold," Chunliu said in a colorful voice, "Even the little marquis's horse dares to stop it, you can change this matter for the eldest grandmother, she is a housekeeper, relying on herself to be able to speak in front of the county lord's mother, I am afraid that her eyes are long and her head is on top." “

"Mother Kang stopped the little marquis's horse?" Yun Xiu also felt that he was not small, "What is the reason? “

Chunliu bamboo tube poured beans and said: "The county lord's mother asked for peace and blessings from the temple yesterday, and she had to take the little marquis to the privy council early in the morning, but the little marquis ignored the old woman, who knew that Kang's mother hit the muzzle of the gun herself." “

Yun Xiu guessed that Ling Xiao was deliberately embarrassed, and chuckled: "You have seen Mother Kang take a detour these days, and others think that we are happy to live and watch jokes." “

Chunliu said yes.

"In addition," Yun Xiu admonished her, "the little marquis has a short temper, especially when he is angry, what do he ask, tell the truth, don't be clever and want to get by." “

"The slave knows." Chunliu nodded, "Thank you for being the master of the slave two days ago." “

Yun Xiu smiled, said that he was tired, and then went back to sleep.

The blood mark drawn out by the horse whip couldn't be eliminated for two days, and the county lord of Pingkang watched Kang's mother go in and out, and his heart was panicked.

After lunch, the county lord took a nap, retired from everyone in the house, and Liukang's mother spoke alone: "You are an old man in the house, you don't know what kind of character Brother Xiao has?" Get a whip for no reason, let me say what? “

"County master, the slave is for you, for the sake of the little marquis, so he has the courage to fight," Kang's mother covered her hot side face, full of grievances, "On weekdays, you ask the slave to send something to the little marquis, when did the little marquis refuse, only this time, the slave was afraid that he would not be able to pay the difference, so he had no choice but to stop the horse." “

The county lord scolded her for being stupid, "Brother Xiao'er, don't you, you won't hand it over to the eldest grandmother, please ask her to hand it over?" “

"That's what the slave thinks," Kang's mother sighed, "Yuxiang's matter, the slave has already offended the eldest grandmother once, and beat her dowry girl two days ago, just afraid of offending the clean, the slave is worried??"

"What are you worried about?" Lord Pingkang knocked on the lid on the tea cup, "I'm not dead, the backyard of the Hou Mansion hasn't changed hands yet!" “

After a pause, he scolded: "Brother Xiao is a brother, the old marquis is the head of the family, they are men, they only care about foreign affairs, regardless of the house!" It's just a foreign girl, who has made you anxious, what use do I want you! “

"Master, the slave does not dare to trespass." Mother Kang looked embarrassed, "Little Hou Ye spoils his grandmother so much, you really should see it with your own eyes, don't talk about you, the slave can be regarded as watching the little Hou Ye grow up, and I have never seen him pay so much attention to anyone." “

These words poked at the pain point of the county lord of Pingkang, and his eyes were calm: "You mean, Brother Xiao'er only marries one woman in his life, and my Ling family points to Yun Xiu's belly?" “

"I'm afraid it is." Kang's mother secretly added fuel to the fire.

"How's that going to work?" The lord of Pingkang leaned on the beauty couch and said coldly, "Looking at the whole Yanjing, several big families are not three wives and four concubines, I knew that Brother Xiao was looking for a girl who was accustomed to means, and it was better to carry his two pink confidants to make a room, which round will get a special favor for one person." “

Kang's mother echoed: "People are not as good as heaven, how do you know that the Li family will not succeed." “

Lord Pingkang sighed: "Yes, it has allowed outsiders to take advantage of the loophole. “

"What now?" Kang's mother asked, "Just by the eldest grandmother?" “

The county lord of Pingkang raised his hand and said slowly: "You go and teach Yuxiang how to do it, don't let me break my heart every day." “

Kang's mother took the order.

Yuxiang was reluctant at first: "Mom, you can do it, I am the son of the Hou family, and I am a decent person when I go out, not long after being driven away by the little Hou Ye, I took the initiative to go on the pole, I can't do it, not to mention that the big grandmother is not easy to get along, you can find someone else." “

"Stop!" Mother Kang took her arm, pulled her to the handyman warehouse, closed the door and said, "How many girls in the house are looking forward to the sparrow becoming a phoenix, the county lord said that as long as she is pregnant with the heir of the little marquis, not only will she cancel her cheap status, but also give her a set of capital mansions, do you want your parents to die in the Hou mansion?" There is also the little marquis's side, the mother is expensive by the child, for the sake of the child, he will never treat you harshly. “

"But I want to get along with my grandmother," Yuxiang was tempted and worried, "Mom." The eldest grandmother dares to talk to the little marquis, have you ever seen other women dare? After a long time, my grandmother can tolerate me, but if she can't tolerate me, I have only one way to die. “

"Since you're looking ahead, it's just that I haven't looked for you today." Kang's mother thought she was unproductive, so she opened the door, "I'll give you half a day to think about it, and if you don't give me an answer after half a day, if you miss this village, you won't have this store." “

"Mommy, Mommy!" Yuxiang was stunned for a long time, chased out, and the other party had already walked away.

***

Half a day later, Yuxiang found Kang's mother again.

Mom said. I thought about it and was willing to give it a try. She said.

"The one who knows the times is Junjie," Kang's mother smiled, "You wait in the courtyard, I'll go to Tongyu County Lady and take you away in a while." “

Yuxiang stood and waited for less than a quarter of an hour, and Mother Kang came out with the curtain and beckoned to her: "You come with me." “

She followed behind Kang's mother, a little apprehensive: "Mom, what did the county lord say?" “

Mother Kang slowed down, "What the county lord means, you first go to the little marquis's house to be a maid, what method to please the man, each with his own ability, in short, you remember that the mother is expensive by the son." And your parents. “

Yuxiang nodded in explanation.

When Kang's mother arrived, Yun Xiu had just taken a nap.

Chunliu waited for her to wash up, and said in a low voice: "Mother Kang is in the yard, and she brought Yuxiang again, saying that it is the meaning of the county lord's mother, and let Yuxiang enter the house to serve the eldest grandmother and the little marquis." “

Yun Xiu knew that this thing would not be good, so he took the handkerchief, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "It's cold, ask people to come into the hall and wait, don't be cold and sick." “

Chunliu responded and went out to explain.

When Kang's mother saw that it was done, she left Yuxiang and went back on her own.

Yun Xiu combed her hair, got dressed, leaned on the couch, covered her legs with a satin quilt, and held a handkerchief to suck the juice with an orange in one hand.

Chunliu brought people in and said respectfully: "Grandma, the slave maid brought Yuxiang in." “

Yun Xiu swallowed half of the orange and smiled slightly: "The last time you came, I didn't see anyone." “

Yuxiang was poked in the sore spot, and her face was red and white: "Last time, I disturbed the eldest grandmother and the little marquis to rest, and the slave should die." “

"You don't have to be polite," Yun Xiu asked someone to remove the fruit plate, clean his hands with clean water, and said while washing, "You come to my house, everything is done according to my rules, as for whether the little marquis wants you, when he wants you, whether he wants you to be a concubine or a room, I can't help you." “

She opened the skylight and said bright words, not only to show her position, but also to embarrass Yuxiang.

Standing aside, the little girl who was in charge of handing the cloth towel couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"Grandma talking, what are you laughing at!" Chunliu scolded, "Get out!" “

The little girl didn't say goodbye, put down the veil, and was pulled out by the two mothers-in-law.

After a while, there was a sound of slapping and forgiveness outside, which made Yuxiang shrink her neck in fright.

"Don't be afraid, Sister Yuxiang." Chunliu smiled and walked up to her, "Grandma has always had clear rewards and punishments, as long as you don't make mistakes, no one in this yard dares to touch a single hair of you." “

Yuxiang secretly swallowed her saliva and laughed dryly: "Miss Chunliu, this sister, I don't dare to be it." “

As he spoke, he looked at Yun Xiu again, knelt down and bowed, folded his hands, his forehead pressed against the back of his hand, and expressed his determination: "The eldest grandmother misunderstood the slave maid, and the slave maid just obeyed the arrangement of the county lord's mother to serve you and the little marquis, and the people next to her didn't dare to think about anything." “

"You don't dare to think about the best." Yun Xiu put away his kind smile and moved his body. "You're new here, I'll put the rules in front, this courtyard and the little Hou Ye know that I love to be jealous, he is my man, it's my God, except for the Hou Ye, everything is easy to discuss."

"Grandma, the slave and maid remember, the slave and the maid only do their part." Yuxiang heard the voice of the little girl in the courtyard getting lower and lower, and couldn't help trembling, "In the future, everything will be dominated by the eldest grandmother." “

"Well, you can remember what you said today." Yun Xiu called Chunliu, "You go and look outside, don't kill people, I can't see fighting and killing right now." “

Chunliu led the order to go out, and then heard her say in the courtyard: "Yo, fainted, mom don't be too heavy next time, the eldest grandmother just said that you can't fight and kill, so as not to scare the son in the stomach." “

Yuxiang's scalp was numb when she heard this, and she trembled and thought, the ability that Kang's mother taught her didn't use a single move and a half, so she let the other party stand up.

Over there, Yun Xiu was still calling her: "Yuxiang, get up, it's cold on the ground." “

Yuxiang hurriedly got up, lowered her eyebrows and said, "What do you want from grandma?" “

"You don't have to be afraid," Yun Xiu laughed again, "You are the person chosen by your mother-in-law, so I will naturally use ordinary maids." “

She looked at the moment as she spoke, "It is estimated that in half an hour, the little marquis should come back, you go to him and show your face, and wait at the Hanging Flower Gate." “
