Chapter 534: Madame Hou's maid
Since Mrs. Ying's death, Aunt Wei has been housekeeper under the instruction of Mrs. Wei, and it has been three years now.
Aunt Wei knew that although she was the only one in Zhong Mansion now, once Zhong Jue got married, she had to hand over the housekeeping rights, so in the past few years, she kept taking advantage of the money in the public school to get money into her private house, and even the people in charge of the house were replaced by her own, so although Zhong Yin often pretended to be weak in front of Master Zhong and Old Mrs. Wei and avoided them, she was a delicate character.
What if she talks too much? Do people still dare to spread it?
Since the housekeeper, Aunt Wei's life in the mansion has become more like a fish in water, but the only thing that makes her gnash her teeth is that no matter what she does, she can't use Mrs. Ying's dowry.
Although the Ying family is not a first-class family in the capital, the accumulation of generations has a very deep heritage, and when they got married, they really surprised the eyes of many people.
After Mrs. Ying's death, half of her dowry was taken back by the Ying family, and the remaining half was sealed and caught by Zhong Jue and Zhong Lan.
Thinking about Mrs. Ying's dowry this time, she was heartbroken if she had to share half of it with Zhong Lan, and the dowry from the public school, because it was married to Wei Yuanhou and a marriage, Master Zhong did not allow the dowry to make the slightest mistake, and Aunt Wei just wanted to replace some of the best products with inferior ones.
Here, Ye Qiu followed the eldest lady Zhong Lan to the front hall, and soon saw Wei Yuanhou, who was about to become their aunt.
Wei Yuanhou was dressed in a brocade robe today, and he didn't look like a general fighting on the battlefield, but like a noble son, Ye Qiu lowered his eyebrows after a glance, and he was quite a match for her young lady in terms of appearance.
"Master Hou, this is the little girl." Master Zhong smiled and beckoned to Zhong Lan, "Lan'er, I've come to see Master Hou." β
Zhong Lan was slightly surprised when he saw Wei Yuanhou's appearance, Ye Qiu was keenly aware of this, but after that, Zhong Lan had nothing else abnormal, and walked over to Fuli dignifiedly: "I've seen Master Hou." β
"No need to be polite." Wei Yuanhou's voice was very magnetic, and looking at Zhong Lan's expression was also very ordinary, Gu Ping was unwavering, not like he was looking at his fiancΓ©e, but like he was looking at a subordinate.
Zhong Lan is not disappointed, anyway, she is ready for the worst when she marries Hou Ye, and no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than now.
Master Zhong was very happy to see the two of them who looked right, and he promised Lan'er such a good marriage, he was not ashamed of Yingru, and he would be Wei Yuanhou's father-in-law in the future, who would dare not give him face in the whole capital?
The more Master Zhong thought about it, the happier he became, and he wanted to drag Wei Yuanhou to drink, Zhong Jue was eager to kill his father with his eyes on the side, did he need to be so attentive? As if his sister didn't deserve it.
"No need, there are still military affairs in the army, and I have to go back earlier." Wei Yuanhou still had a serious face, and his attitude was quite polite.
Master Zhong didn't think there was a problem with his attitude, but followed his words and said: "That's right, it's important to work, and it's really easy to make mistakes when drinking." β
Zhong Jue's brows furrowed even tighter now, although his father's attitude was problematic, but what did Wei Yuanhou mean by having a straight face as soon as he came in? But the other party is a first-class marquis, and his sister will marry in the future, if he makes it difficult, I am afraid that my sister will have a hard time marrying in the past.
Ye Qiu also felt that Wei Yuanhou's attitude was very problematic, even if he usually had a bad personality, couldn't he ease his face when he came to his fiancΓ©e's house? The people of their Zhong Mansion were not his subordinates in the army.
Now Ye Qiu only begged her young lady to think about it a little, so she waited for this temperament, even if she got married, it didn't look like she could soften for a while.
"Miss ......" After returning to Qingzhu Garden, Shen Dong hesitated and didn't know how to speak.
Yang Chun was also indignant, feeling that Wei Yuanhou was too uninteresting, did he look down on her young lady? What good life do you have in the past?
But Zhong Lan was much calmer than they expected, and she smiled, "What are you worried about? Afraid that I will have a hard time after I get married? β
"Learn more from Ye Qiu, do you see what she has shown?" She lowered her eyes, "There's nothing to be unhappy about, it's normal for people to have a higher family background than me, so it's normal to look down on them." β
"But Miss, he can't even look down on you if you're so good......"
"Alright." Zhong Lan interrupted Yang Chun's words, "Israel is a subordinate servant, although my Zhong Lan has a worse family background than him, but I will not be lowly since then, and it is already good to be able to respect each other like guests after getting married, I never expected to love each other, you don't have to say such things in the future, especially after going to the Hou Mansion, you must be more cautious in your words and deeds." β
The three maids looked at each other, and then replied, "Yes." β
"Ye Qiu, today you come to keep vigil."
"Yes."
That night, Zhong Lan was not as calm as she said, and she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
Ye Qiu expressed her understanding, no matter how calm the young lady is, she is only a sixteen-year-old girl, how many winds and waves have she experienced?
She guessed that the young lady also had expectations for Wei Yuanhou in her heart, but in the end, this expectation was disappointed, and it became the worst plan she thought of again.
"Miss, the slave will pour you a glass of water."
"Hmm." Zhong Lan simply didn't force herself to sleep, and sat up slowly.
Zhong Lan was a little distracted holding the teacup, and then asked Ye Qiu a little blankly: "Ye Qiu, although Shen Dong is the most stable one among the four of you, you have never made a mistake in doing things, but you don't want to talk more and don't want to come forward." β
"That's what a slave should do." Ye Qiu paused and continued, "Does Miss have anything to say to the slave?" It's not good to hold back, and the slave can be your listener. She had already guessed what Miss To-day's purpose was for keeping her.
Sure enough, after she said this, Zhong Lan sighed heavily, looking helpless: "You say, is it really good for me to marry Weiyuan Houfu?" Wei Yuanhou didn't look like he was getting along very well. β
"And Mrs. Lao Hou, I heard that she also went to the battlefield in her early years, and I heard that she was very majestic, will she ......?"
"No, it won't." Ye Qiu analyzed out loud, "Old Mrs. Hou will not be an old lady. β
Zhong Lan looked at Ye Qiu distractedly: "Do you know what I'm talking about?" β
Ye Qiu chuckled: "Isn't Miss worried that Mrs. Hou will dislike you and even torture you like our old lady?" The slave can say with certainty that it won't. β
"How do you know it won't?"
"Because Mrs. Hou has been on the battlefield, Miss think about it, what kind of courage and courage is it to be on the battlefield with a woman's body? How can it be like an old woman with nothing to do in the mansion? β
