"Since Mrs. Dongdu Hou said so," the lord of Anping Weng straightened up slightly, showing a warm smile, his posture was neither humble nor arrogant, with the momentum of the wife of the head of the family, but he did not look domineering, "Then I take the liberty of asking, I don't know what is the matter?" ”

Mrs. Dongdu Hou was a little impatient.

After all, in terms of seniority, Lord Anping Weng is considered a junior, and Mrs. Hou of Dongdu feels that instead of wasting saliva with Lord Anping Weng here, it is better to have a direct dialogue with Mrs. Pingguo, the actual highest decision-maker of the Pingguo Mansion.

Besides, even if the lord of Anping Weng is in charge of the middle feed of the Pingguo Mansion, she is the same generation as Fang Hanniang after all, and in the case of her grandmother, uncle and other elders, she can't say anything about Fang Hanniang's marriage as a cousin.

Mrs. Dongdu Hou was very anxious, and she didn't want to talk to Lord Anping Weng more.

In her opinion, in today's stormy situation in the Pingguo Mansion, she is willing to condescend so much to come to the Pingguo Mansion to hire Fang Hanniang, the daughter of a merchant, as a concubine, which has already given the Pingguo Mansion enough face.

Correspondingly, the Pingguo Mansion should also show their sincerity.

Then, at least let the old lady of Pingguo make some promises.

You must know that her son, as a son, is now accepting a concubine, which is not an ordinary concubine, but a concubine who will give birth to the eldest son.

There is a concubine room with the eldest son next to him, and in some mansions, it is almost the same as the deputy wife.

Mrs. Dongdu Hou felt that she was really sincere this time.

However, Lord Anping Weng is still asking like this...... Mrs. Dongdu Hou was very unhappy in her heart. She smiled perfunctorily: "Don't worry, Mrs. Shizi, it's a great joy." It's just that this matter can only be discussed with the old lady of Pingguo. ”

The implication is that it is already very polite.

Lord Anping Weng was not annoyed. She smiled politely at Mrs. Dongdu Hou in a dignified and leisurely manner: "Then I still bother Mrs. Dongdu Hou to wait a minute." ”

Lord Anping called Xue Pozi over.

Xue Pozi is a very effective mother under the master of Anping Weng recently, and she is very good at judging the situation, and the master of Anping Weng has some work that needs to pass on the word and run errands, and she has basically been handed over to do it recently.

Xue Pozi was wearing a cleanly washed jacket, and her hair was neatly pulled up, and she looked like a very sharp person.

She smiled before she could say anything: "I don't know what Madame's instructions for finding a slave maid?" ”

Who is a master who does not want to see the appearance of the spirit of the human spirit below? When Lord Anping saw Xue Pozi's smiling face, her heart eased a little, and she also smiled slightly: "Mama, you go to the old lady's." Let's see if the old lady is in good spirits? If the old lady is still in good spirits, she will talk to the old lady and say that Mrs. Dongdu Hou has something to talk to the old lady...... If you see that the old lady is not in good spirits, just say that she came to ask for peace for me, and there is no need to say anything else. ”

Mrs. Dongdu Hou listened to the words in front of her and looked a lot better, but when she heard the sentence "You don't have to say anything else", her face changed.

However, Lord Anping Weng didn't give her a chance to have a seizure, and after finishing the order, Mrs. Xue immediately turned around with a smile and explained to Mrs. Dongduhou: "...... As juniors, we always have to take care of the bodies of our elders. You're right? ”

This is the most basic filial piety. Mrs. Hou of Dongdu really couldn't say half a "no".

As if she had been secretly punched, her face turned a little blue, and she forced a smile: "What you said is very true." ”

In private, I was a little unhappy.

In the eyes of Mrs. Hou of Dongdu, at the moment when everyone avoids the Pingguo Mansion, she came to propose marriage, although it is a concubine, but it also gives the Pingguo Mansion enough face.

It's really uninteresting.

Mrs. Dongdu Hou couldn't help muttering in her heart.

After Xue Pozi received the order, the flower hall became quiet.

Lord Anping Weng didn't speak to Mrs. Dongdu Hou, she called someone to bring an account book, and smiled at Mrs. Dongdu Hou with some apologies on her face: "It's approaching the end of the year, and it just so happens that there are account books to be checked on the shop in Zhuangzi." Please forgive me for neglecting Mrs. ”

You know it's a snub that you still look at the ledger?!

The perfunctory smile on Mrs. Dongduhou's face was almost unbearable, she endured it and endured it, and decided to talk about it, otherwise she was afraid that she would be so angry that she would vomit blood when she looked at the account book of Lord Anping here.

“…… Right now, is the cousin girl surnamed Fang in your house still living in the Fuyuan Hall? Mrs. Dongdu Hou asked a few questions that she was more concerned about.

Sure enough, it was for Han Niang. An Pingweng's hand flipping through the ledger paused slightly.

Although the lord of Anping Weng was a little annoyed by the rudeness of Mrs. Dongdu Hou, when he thought that people came to propose marriage with good intentions after all, he seemed a little anxious, and he did not abide by the etiquette under the urgency, and he could barely say it.

As soon as Lord Anping Weng thought about it, his attitude towards Mrs. Dongdu Hou eased by two points.

She closed the ledger and smiled, "I wonder which cousin Mrs. Hou is asking?" Right now, there are two cousins surnamed Fang in the house. ”

Lord Anping Weng naturally knew that Mrs. Dongdu Hou asked Fang Hanniang.

But as a woman, she can't show such an obvious appearance, no matter whether she refuses or not, she always has to be a little reserved.

Mrs. Dongdu Hou was slightly stunned: "Two cousins surnamed Fang? ”

Only then did Lord Anping Weng explain with a smile: "It seems that Mrs. Hou doesn't know that our aunt and grandmother in the house have two daughters and one son who are outcast. In addition to Han Niang, who went with me to attend the crown princess's birthday banquet before, there were two other people who had just returned to the house two days ago. ”

Mrs. Dongdu Hou was slightly relieved.

It turned out to be Fang Hanniang's family.

But it has nothing to do with her.

Mrs. Dongdu Marquis quickly lost interest in this, and after a perfunctory sentence of "That's really going to be congratulated", she shifted the topic to what she was interested in:

“…… I saw Han Niang once in Princess Yujing's mansion before, and at that time I felt that Han Niang, this little girl, was very suitable for my eyes. It's just that I didn't know that she was the cousin of the Pingguo Mansion that time, and I had no relatives and no reason, so I didn't go up too much to greet and scare the little girl......" Mrs. Dongdu Hou smiled, "As a result, this is called fate, and I actually met Han Niang again at the birthday banquet of the crown princess last time." I thought, this little girl is pretty good......"

She paused, and finally got to the point: "Miss Fang looks quite young, right?" However, I heard that they have married early in the countryside, and I don't know if Miss Fang has booked someone? ”

Lord Anping Weng's heart was full of reactions.

You said that you want to ask Han Niang if she has allowed people to ask directly, why do you want to talk about such a thing as a family in the countryside? Why, are you afraid that their family will dislike the poor and love the rich, and they will retire the poor relatives who are engaged to the countryside and climb the high branches of their family?

After all, Lord Anping Weng is from everyone, and she still maintains a decent smile on her face, and said: "This kind of thing, I'm just Han Niang's cousin-in-law, where would I know." ”

The expression on the face of Mrs. Dongdu Hou changed slightly.

Don't let her guess get right?!

She knew that with Fang Hanniang's beauty, and she grew up without power and power in the countryside, how could there be no people who coveted her beauty to take it by force?

I can't say that someone has made a marriage with her family early, just waiting for Fang Hanniang to grow up and marry......

The smile on the face of Mrs. Dongdu Hou is not so good-looking.

Let her give her son a woman who has been engaged to someone else as a concubine?

Mrs. Dongdu Hou felt disgusting and panicked when she thought about it.

But Mrs. Hou of Dongdu was reluctant to give up such a good opportunity, after all, it was very rare for a beautiful girl like Fang Hanniang to be in the capital, not to mention that Hanniang's foreign family Pingguo Mansion was losing power, and she just took advantage of this time to pick up a bargain......

Mrs. Dongdu Hou was unwilling, and asked Lord Anping Weng a lot of questions about Fang Hanniang.

But how could the lord of Anping Weng be able to fool the Marquis of Dongdu? No matter how Mrs. Dongdu Hou went around in circles, Lord Anping always smiled and avoided the topic.

Mrs. Dongdu Hou asked a lot of questions, and Lord Anping Weng did not avoid answering, but Mrs. Dongdu Hou thought about it carefully and found that Lord Anping Weng answered so much, almost all of them were nonsense on the scene, but all the slightly more private information related to Fang Hanniang, Lord Anping Weng almost did not reveal half a word.

After answering such a large circle of questions, the owner of Anping Weng is still generous and kind.

However, fine and dense sweat oozed from the forehead of Mrs. Marquis of Dongdu.

She only had one thought in her heart, this Anping Weng Lord was really difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, at this time, Xue Pozi came back.

Xue Pozi blessed the lord of Anping Weng, and greeted Mrs. Dongdu Marquis, and then said to Anping Weng with a smile: "Madam, although the old lady is in a little bad spirits at the moment, as soon as she heard that it was Mrs. Dongdu Hou who asked to see her, she insisted on letting the slave maid come to pass the word, saying that she asked Mrs. Dongdu Hou to come over. ”

Lord Anping Weng glanced at Mrs. Dongdu Hou and let out a "ah".

Mrs. Dongdu Hou coughed.

She obviously came to talk about family affairs that would be beneficial to both governments, so how could she be like an old lady taking the time to see her as a great gift?

But no matter what Mrs. Dongdu Hou did, she would never say this.

She had to pretend not to hear the meaning of Xue Pozi's words, got up and said with a forced smile: "Since the old lady promised to see me, then let's go quickly." The matter is said early, so that the old lady can rest early. ”

Lord Anping nodded, got up too, and said with a smile: "Then I'll take Mrs. Hou over." ”

Mrs. Dongdu Hou breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly made a gesture of invitation, looking like she couldn't wait to hurry over.

Lord Anping Weng looked at Mrs. Dongdu Hou like this in his heart, and only sighed.

It's no wonder that the Eastern Capital Marquis Mansion has been declining over the years.

Let's not mention the things of the previous generation for the time being, just look at the present, after all, there is such a Mrs. Hou who is in charge of the back house!
