Chapter 307: The Inner Courtyard of the Hou Mansion

Just after Zhuge Rentong excitedly agreed and stood up, the Divine Doctor Hou continued: "In addition, in order to unite the younger generations, in the future, all the children will be ranked together, regardless of the main house and side room. Among the young masters, Zhuge Renmiao is the oldest, the eldest young master, Wei Jing is the second, Liu Feng is the third, Wei An is the fourth, Xiang Zhong is the fifth, Wei Ai is the sixth, Zhuge Rentong is the seventh, Wu Suowei is the eighth, and Wei Wei is the ninth. Among the young ladies, Wu Suonian is the first, and Sun Siyu is the second. ”

After the Divine Doctor Hou finished speaking, although everyone didn't dare to speak, their faces changed greatly.

For a long time, in order to distinguish the side rooms of the main house, all the housekeepers and servants in the Hou Ye's Mansion only called Zhuge Ren the same as the young master, and the others were all sons. In this way, all the sons have become young masters.

According to the practice of the empire, the eldest son of the lineage inherited the title, and Zhuge Rentong, as the only young master of the lineage, was called the little marquis outside.

And now, in such a row, the eldest son has become Zhuge Renmiao, is it true that the heir will also change accordingly?

The head of the Hou Mansion was thinking about it, and his face also changed, the Hou Mansion was not as good as the palace, and there was no such thing as a prince. It seems that Master Hou has never said that the heir is the same young master!

Mrs. Hou's face turned pale, looking at the Divine Doctor Hou, the Divine Doctor Hou did not squint, and did not look at her at all.

Mrs. Hou Ye turned her eyes to the chief manager again, and the chief manager thought for a moment and said, "Master Hou, this ranking is a bit messy, isn't it? ”

Divine Doctor Hou replied decisively: "In the future, all the young masters and young ladies will change their surnames to Zhuge , and the young masters will be merged into the Renzi generation, similar to Xiang Miao changing his name to Zhuge Renmiao, and Wei Jing will be renamed Zhuge Renjing." As for the young lady, as long as the surname is changed to Zhuge , the name does not need to be Zhanren. You are responsible for this matter, remember, you have to report it to the court. ”

A wry smile appeared on the manager's face, he had found a thing for himself. However, he has followed the Divine Doctor Hou for decades, and naturally knows the character of the Divine Doctor Hou, since he said it on this occasion, there is no possibility of change, only nodding and agreeing.

Divine Doctor Hou finally said aloud: "My intention to rank all the young masters and young ladies together is to express that as long as they are my Zhuge Zhengyi's children, they are all equal, and no one is a mongrel." ”

After speaking, the Divine Doctor Hou didn't look at Zhuge Rentong, who was already lying on the ground with weak legs and feet, and turned around and left the hall.

Although Mrs. Hou's face was pale, she did not say any words of plea from beginning to end, and after the Divine Doctor Hou stood up, she also stood up according to the previous practice and left the hall with the Divine Doctor Hou.

The third lady stood up, walked in front of Liu Feng, directly took Liu Feng's hand, and walked out of the hall.

In the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, there is a large garden, the main house of the Divine Doctor Hou and the eldest lady is in the middle of the garden, and the houses of the other ladies surround the garden.

On the left hand side of the main house are the houses of the second, fourth and sixth ladies, and on the right hand side are the houses of the third and fifth ladies.

It is said to be a house, but in fact, it is a bit like the courtyard house in Huajing City, within the square wall, three rows of houses and a gatehouse enclose a courtyard.

In front of the door of the third lady, Liu Yiyuan and the two maids stood there, and when they saw the third lady and Liu Feng coming over, Liu Yiyuan took the lead and shouted: "Welcome to the third lady and the third young master." ”

The maids also responded in unison.

Hearing that Liu Yiyuan no longer called Liu Feng a son, but called the third young master, the third lady couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Yiyuan, your news is still well-informed, the order that the Hou Ye just issued, we haven't come back yet, you know." ”

Liu Yiyuan smiled and scratched his head: "Didn't you just hear what Hou Ye's guards were saying, I didn't think about it when I wasn't in the queue before, but now I found out that Gongzi is actually the third young master, the third lady and the third young master, I feel very lucky." ”

The third lady thought that Liu Feng, who was born to her, was actually the third among the young masters of the Hou Mansion, and she was very happy, and directly announced that Liu Yiyuan and several others would double their wages this month, and Liu Yiyuan and the two maids knelt down happily to thank her.

After entering the courtyard, the third lady introduced the situation in the courtyard to Liu Feng with great interest.

There are two gatehouses on both sides of the gate, and there is an old servant Uncle Hua who usually looks down on the gate, and when the third lady doesn't want to eat in the Hou Mansion, he is also responsible for cooking.

The main room facing the gate had five rooms, the middle room was inhabited by the third lady, the next one was inhabited by two maids, and the other three rooms were empty.

There are also five rooms in each of the left and right rows, and all the rooms are empty except for Liu Yiyuan, who occupies the first room on the left hand.

Liu Feng counted it carefully, that is, the utilization rate of the four gatehouses was high, one was used as a resident, one was used as a kitchen, one was used as a restaurant, and one was used as a warehouse, and only three of the other fifteen rooms were occupied, and twelve were idle.

In the courtyard in the middle, on the left is a pavilion with a table of eight immortals and two dining chairs, and on the right there is a rockery fountain and several pots of flowers.

The third lady smiled and said to Liu Feng: "Feng'er, I usually like to eat in the pavilion, and today it just so happened that the two of us ate together." Also, if you see which room you're going to live in, I'll let them clean it out first, and then you can go to rest when you're done. ”

Liu Feng randomly chose the room in the middle of the right hand, and then sat at the Eight Immortals Table in the pavilion with the third lady.

An old man who looked old but quick quickly filled the table with plates of food, this old man was Uncle Hua, he smiled and said to Liu Feng: "I heard that Young Master Feng is back, I have been preparing for a long time, but I don't know what flavor Young Master Feng likes, please tell me if you need anything." ”

Liu Feng smiled and replied that he ate any taste and was not picky.

After Uncle Hua stepped back, the third lady said: "Speaking of which, our Liu family should be the worst background among all the ladies in the Hou Mansion, when the parents were killed, the family was in the middle, all the servants were killed, and those who fled escaped, if it weren't for Uncle Hua always being by my side, I wouldn't even have a person brought from my mother's family." I have the least number of people here, unlike other ladies, who brought from their mother's house to fill the courtyard. ”

Liu Feng inquired, only to know that Liu Yiyuan was an orphan adopted by Uncle Hua, and the name Liu Yiyuan was given by Uncle Hua. As for the two maids, they were arranged by the Hou Mansion to take care of the third lady, not brought by the third lady.

Liu Feng looked at Uncle Hua, who was still standing in the gatehouse, looking at the two of them with a smile, as if asking casually, "How is Uncle Hua's martial arts?"

"Martial arts?" the third lady repeated in surprise, and then replied with a smile: "How can Uncle Hua know any martial arts?" It's just that for so many years, I have always treated him as a relative. It's just that he is too obedient, I asked him to eat with me, he said that he would not say anything, always said that it was unreasonable, and after I finished eating, they ate in the restaurant. ”

Liu Feng nodded, rolled his eyes, and didn't say anything more.
