Xue Pingping asked Mama Wang for questioning, and finally inquired about the details of the dream. It turns out that Meng Youyou is the daughter of the late Taifu Xiande Gong, and her dowry and good fields are all rewarded by the saints, no wonder his mother is so powerful that she didn't dare to rob her things, can the holy rewards be robbed casually, a crime of contempt for the emperor's authority is enough for her, unless Meng Youyou takes the initiative to let it out.

Xue Pingping is lying on the bed now, racking his brains to think about how to get some benefits from Meng Youyou's hands, even if he only gives him a shop, he will be worried about eating and drinking in his life. He asked Mama Wang, there are five shops in Mengyouyou, silk village, rice grain shop, restaurant, teahouse, pastry shop, the address of these shops and the basic information of the shopkeeper Mama Wang also told him, he silently wrote it down, thinking that when he saw Meng Youyou, he would have a good chat with her, and with his modern brain, give her a few good ideas to make money, so that Meng Youyou was impressed by him. Meng Youyou has always been out of the door, and she shouldn't know how to do business, if he can give her advice and make her rely on herself, then everything will be easy to do.

With his own wishful thinking, Xue Ping slept soundly.

When he woke up, the sun had already reached the West Mountain, and he called Fang Yuan, the little servant who was waiting for him, and asked, "Has anyone come to me in the afternoon?" ”

"Nope."

"What is the young lady doing today?"

"The young lady went out of the house early in the morning and hasn't come back yet."

Went out early in the morning? Seeing that the sun is sinking in the west, it's time for dinner soon, and Dream Youyou is coming back soon, right? Xue Pingping instructed Fang Yuan to go and talk to the kitchen, and add two dishes that Meng Youyu loved to eat tonight.

He got up to change his clothes, thinking about going to the gate to greet him, although he was still a little weak, but the fever had long since subsided. In any case, you must let Meng Youyou feel his goodness, lower yourself, and coax her to hold her first.

When he arrived at the gate, he waited on tiptoe for a long time, and finally saw a carriage heading towards Xue's mansion, but behind the carriage was a man in white, handsome and dignified, with a good demeanor.

The carriage stopped, and before Xue Pingping stepped forward, the man in white turned over and dismounted, walked to the side of the carriage one step ahead of him, and humbly and politely invited out the brilliant dream in the carriage, the two of them smiled and made a noise, and the man in white rode away, until the man disappeared, and the dream was reluctant to turn around and walk towards him.

Xue Pingping's heart was like sinking into an ice lake, but he didn't expect that Meng Youyou had only been out for a day, and he hooked up with a handsome little white face, how could he be good? But no matter what, he is still her nominal husband, as long as she doesn't write a letter of resignation, she is his, she still has a chance, can't rush, take your time.

Xue Pingping adjusted his mood, squeezed out a smile, walked over quickly, and said softly to Mengyou: "Madame is tired after going out for a day, right?" Hungry or not? I asked the kitchen to make your favorite dishes. ”

"Don't you ask me who that guy is?" Meng Youyou felt strange, Xue Pingping seemed to have changed in the past two days, not to mention deliberately pleasing him, and he was much calmer than before. In the past, I wished I could find her fault, suppress and reprimand, so that she could be obedient.

Xue Pingping suppressed the curiosity in his heart, followed Meng Youyou to the house, and said with a smile: "Madame goes out to do errands, there must naturally be someone around who can be called, you are my wife, I naturally believe you." Seeing the dream of Yuyou, he walked to the threshold and reached out to help her arm, "Watch your step." Withdrawing his hand, he continued: "That prince just now seems to be extraordinary, and must be a man of outstanding ability, and the lady should invite him into the house to sit down and have a cup of tea, as a courtesy." ”

"This Gu Gongzi is indeed capable and talented, there are still many places where I need to rely on him in the future, thanks to your reminder, invite him to the house as a guest another day, and you will accompany him."

"Good. It's all up to Madame to arrange. Xue Pingping secretly pinched himself, Meng Youyou praised other men in front of him, and he had to echo him, he really wanted to slap himself.

Xue Pingping followed Meng Youyou to Xiushui Courtyard and instructed his subordinates to put dinner here, and he accompanied Meng Youyou to eat together.

Dream Yuyou didn't know what he was thinking, and she didn't stop him.

After a brief wash, a table of delicious food was served, and the two sat opposite each other.

Xue Pingping first spooned a bowl of chicken soup for her to cool, then sandwiched a piece of fish for her, carefully cleaned the thorns and put them on the plate in front of her, and before she finished eating, he gave her some of the dishes on the table, smiled diligently, and persuaded her to eat more.

After eating a meal, Xue Pingping obviously felt that Meng Youyou's attitude was much softer. Xue Pingping wanted to say a few more beautiful words while the iron was hot to increase her good impression of herself, but before she could speak, Meng Youyou said that she was going to Shulan Courtyard to see his mother. Xue Pingping hadn't been to see it since he was sick that day, so he followed Meng Youyou to Shulan Courtyard.

At this time, in Shulan's courtyard, Wan Jinlan was lying on the bed, looking at the young and beautiful Qin Jiaojiao in front of the bed, her eyes were red with anger, and her lips were trembling, but she couldn't speak.

Of course, Wan Jinlan was angry, she was originally a concubine for her son, but the concubine climbed into her husband's bed and became a thorn in her eye.

Qin Jiaojiao was waiting for Hou Ye to return to the house for dinner together, but who knew that Hou Ye asked her to serve Madame. She didn't want to, but she was a concubine, and she should serve the lady of the main room. Wan Jinlan was paralyzed on the bed and couldn't move, and she wasn't afraid of what Wan Jinlan would do to her, but who knew that Wan Jinlan didn't cooperate, and overturned the bowl of soup that she brought to her mouth and splashed it all on her.

Qin Jiao was squeamish, and said sarcastically: "What if you can't get used to me, what can you do to me now that you are sick in bed?" Don't say that you can't serve Hou Ye now, even if you have flexible hands and feet, Hou Ye can't look down on your old and decrepit face. ”

Mama Wang on the side said angrily: "Aunt Qin, how can you be disrespectful to Madame? ”

"What are you, dare to teach me a lesson! Do you believe that I sent the Hou Ye out of the house? "Qin Jiaojiao doesn't even pay attention to her wife, let alone a subordinate?

"Although the old woman is only a subordinate, she has been serving Mrs. Hou in this mansion for more than 20 years. Now that my wife is sick in bed, it is the time when I need someone to serve, I don't believe that Lord Hou will embarrass his wife regardless of his affection for many years. Mama Wang was heartbroken, but she didn't expect that as soon as Madame fell ill, Master Hou accepted the concubine, and this concubine was brought in by Madame and her.

"So what, I always only hear the new people laughing, and I don't hear the old people crying. It's really useless for you to hand over the stewardship to Mengyouyou so easily, if you can take the stewardship back from Mengyouyou's hands, I would be willing to let you live a good life for a few days. ”

"Really? Aunt Qin, you are too eager for quick success, exposing your ambition nakedly in front of people, and you are not afraid of people's jokes. Meng Youyou walked in the door and glanced at Qin Jiaojiao contemptuously, "You want stewardship, ask me for it openly!" To be majestic in front of your subordinates, you are really capable! ”

"Dream Youyou, then I'll tell you now, hand over the housekeeping!" Qin Jiaojiao's face was not red, and her heart was not beating.

"Heh~ I'll hand it over if you let me hand it over? Why are you? Meng Youyou sneered, "Even if you serve the Hou Ye, you are just a concubine, and it is not your turn to be in charge of this mansion." ”

Qin Jiaojiao gritted her teeth angrily, "You wait, I'll let Master Hou tell you personally." After saying that, he left in embarrassment.
