Chapter 542: Mrs. Hou's maid
After giving tea to the second master and the second wife Shen, he met with a few peers, all of whom belonged to the second master's family.
The two have a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law, the eldest son is named Duan Rongyu, although he is one year younger than Duan Rongjing, but he has already married, his wife is his cousin Xiao Shen, and the two have a son named Brother Jie.
Because Duan Rongyu was still studying, Zhong Lan gave an inkstone, and Xiao Shen's was given a pair of gem heads, and as for the little fat brother Jie, it was a pair of blessing locks made of pure gold.
The second master and the second wife of Shen are called Duan Wen, Zhong Lan has already seen her yesterday, seeing that she is eccentric, this morning she replaced the prepared gem head with Dongzhu's, which is just right for a young and beautiful woman like her.
This pair of Dongzhu head beads are round, and the craftsmanship of the craftsman is also very good, Duan Wen was really happy when she saw it: "Thank you, sister-in-law!" ”
In addition to Duan Rongyu and Duan Wen, Second Master Duan also had two concubines, Zhong Lan nodded at them, and then one of them gave a pair of jade bracelets like water, and the two concubines thanked her very calmly, without the slightest dissatisfaction.
Here you can see the ability of Mrs. Shen's second wife to govern the family, there are concubines who have no concubines, concubines are anxious and cowering, and they are not raised with high morale, and they don't know the sky is high and the sky is wide.
"Madame will have to learn from the second wife in the future." After returning to Qingfeng Courtyard after the tea, Ye Qiu whispered in Zhong Lan's ear.
"I know, my uncle is really capable, I'll sleep for a while, and the Hou Ye will call me when he comes." Yesterday I was tired for a day, and I got up so early today that Zhong Lan's body couldn't support it, so she lay down on the collapse and rested, Ye Qiu and the others relaxed their steps and slowly retreated.
After Ye Qiu and the others went out, Shen Dong and Liu Xia continued to sort out the dowry, including today's Mrs. Lao Hou and Mrs. Shen's second wife, the things they gave had to be recorded in the bill for safekeeping, and there were really a lot of things.
Yang Chun stayed and waited, while Ye Qiu went to find the housekeeper of Qingfeng Courtyard, but she didn't expect that before she could find it, people would find her.
"This is the key to the doors of each courtyard of Qingfeng Courtyard, as well as the deed of sale of the maid who is waiting here, the old lady asked me to send it over, since Mrs. Hou is resting, these things will trouble the girl You will hand them over to Madame."
"There's an old mama." Ye Qiu took the things and handed over a purse, "Where does Mama live now?" We just came over, if there is anything we don't understand, can we ask Mama for advice? ”
The grandmother didn't refuse, and took it with a smile: "The old slave lives in the lower room outside the Qingfeng Courtyard, and the girl can come and ask me at any time if she doesn't understand anything." ”
"Then thank you, Mama."
It seems that their wife's performance this morning is too good, and Mrs. Hou is also willing to give her this face, and immediately handed over the stewardship of Qingfeng Courtyard, Ye Qiu believes that after waiting for a few more days, after Mrs. is familiar with the Hou Mansion, I am afraid that she will start to take charge of the house.
Maybe it's because there are more official duties, Wei Yuanhou came back a little late tonight, but he still rested in Qingfeng Courtyard, and listened to the sound of the middle of the night outside the door, Ye Qiu was really afraid that their wife would be a little unbearable.
However, she can't take care of these things as a maid, for the Hou Mansion, marrying at this time is to leave an heir for Wei Yuanhou, for Zhong Lan, no matter what Wei Yuanhou's future situation is, it is good to have an heir.
However, some things came so quickly, Wei Yuanhou had only been in the same room with Zhong Lan for two days, and before he had returned to the door of the three dynasties, the palace came to let him go out of the border pass.
Zhong Lan's face turned pale in an instant, and he immediately thought of what others said about Wei Yuan's preoccupation with this battle.
Ming Ming was ready to be widowed, why was he so flustered and reluctant when the day was approaching?
After all, it is his new wife, Wei Yuanhou still has her in his heart, seeing Zhong Lan's face turned white in an instant, he finally held her hand and comforted: "It's okay, I'll come back safely." ”
"But fighting is so dangerous......"
"Believe me, I've been on the battlefield since I was fifteen years old and I've never lost."
"But everybody says ......"
"Those are all false, don't believe it." Perhaps seeing that Zhong Lan was too worried, Wei Yuanhou held back for a long time and said such a sentence.
Ye Qiu's eyes rolled, she knew that there was an inside story, otherwise why didn't the battle start yet, why did everyone seem to think that this battle would be lost? Even if he loses this battle, Wei Yuanhou will not necessarily die! So why is it rumored all over the capital that Mrs. is married to be a widow?
The Zhong family is not very powerful, and apart from Aunt Wei and Zhong Yin, she can't think of anyone else who is against her wife, but these two people are people from the inner house, an aunt and a concubine, what skills can they have?
So the only one who caused all this public opinion was the Hou Mansion, so was this public opinion released by others or deliberate by themselves?
If it was intentional by the Hou Mansion, then why did they release this news?
"Then you promise me that no matter what happens, you must keep yourself safe." Zhong Lan's eyes were red.
It's only been two days since the wedding is about to go on the expedition, even if this marriage is the words of the grandmother's matchmaker, Duan Rongjing still has some guilt in his heart, there will be no less wind and rain in the capital in the past few years, and he dragged her into the water.
But things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and he can't guarantee that he's not good at lying.
Duan Rongjing was silent, and Zhong Lan almost cried.
"I will write to you, and I will also ask my grandmother to take good care of you, sorry, Your Majesty ordered to go on the expedition immediately, I can't accompany you back tomorrow." After Duan Rongjing said this, he strode away, and when he walked to the door, he came back and took out a key, "This is the key to my warehouse, if you have anything you like, go get it and buy it." ”
After saying this, it seemed to be his last tenderness, and then he stopped talking and turned his body again.
Zhong Lan held back her crying and stuffed a purse into his arms: "You must promise me to pay attention to safety!" ”
Duan Rongjing finally left, and Zhong Lan stood at the door with a lonely face.
Ye Qiu looked at his wife a little unbearable, hoping that the medicine she gave his wife would work, but after all, this is not a child pill, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to get pregnant immediately after eating it, but the chance of conception should be greatly improved.
I hope that Wei Yuanhou will work hard enough in the past two days to leave a son and a half daughter for his wife, so that she will no longer be so worried when she has a child to divert her attention.
Maybe it was because Wei Yuanhou had only been married for two days before he set out, and the old Hou lady prepared a very generous return gift for Zhong Lan, and she also asked the old housekeeper of the Hou Mansion to accompany her, but even so, Zhong Lan was still ridiculed by Zhong Yin when she went back.
"Sister is back? What about brother-in-law? Oh, it's all to blame for me forgot, my brother-in-law went on the expedition yesterday. Zhong Yin said apologetically, but her eyes were full of schadenfreude.
