Chapter 268: Back to the Hou Mansion
The front of the Hou Mansion was deserted, and when she saw the car coming, two small maids ran out, and diligently unloaded the side door threshold for her, and Ah Yuan, who was driving the car, threw copper coins to them, and every time she returned to the house, these small coins never saved.
"You just wait in the outer courtyard, we won't stay this time, let's go, go directly to Ronghua Hall."
She still wants to go around tomorrow, and the shopkeepers just now also said that there are some difficulties, and she wants to see how to deal with it.
"The eldest lady is back home," as soon as the mother-in-law of the second door saw her, she hurriedly opened the door, and someone quickly reported to the back, Manqing raised her eyebrows, when did she have this treatment?
"Is Master Hou in the house?"
"Yes, Hou Ye didn't go out today, and he was still in the backyard." Well, it seems that the news of her return to Beijing is already known here.
The mother-in-law took the initiative to help Mo Xiang carry the box, and they knew that they didn't need to ask, but the eldest lady brought it back to honor the marquis and his wife.
In the past few years, they have always stretched out their hands to work, although there is no gift, but the copper money is never less, if the girl who follows is in a good mood, it is very generous.
This time, Mo Xiang grabbed a handful, and was so happy that those mothers-in-law thanked them repeatedly, the eldest lady is really a lucky star, the money is almost up to the last month, and this year, the monthly case has never been taken on time.
The maids of Ronghuatang are also happy to see them, the eldest lady is here, the Hou Ye must be in a good mood, and he lost his temper yesterday, and when he heard that the eldest lady had entered the city, he immediately lost his anger.
"Qing'er is here, come in, come in, let grandpa see, haha, good, good spirits." As soon as Man Qing entered the house, the Hou Ye greeted the door, and even the old lady stood up with a smile.
She just wanted to make a big salute, but she was helped by Hou Ye and pulled her to sit on the chair.
"Where the hell have you gone, you kid? Why don't you bring a letter to your family, but I'm in a hurry to kill my grandfather. ”
She didn't want to hide that mysterious place from Hou Ye, but she didn't plan to make it public in the Hou Mansion, so she had to say that she had lost her way into the mountain.
"Are you freezing or hungry? In the future, go into the mountains and bring more people, how can there be a big girl who goes by herself? This time I have learned a lesson. ”
Hou Ye didn't speak, with his understanding of his granddaughter, this must be a pretext, but the old lady believed it and told her with concern.
"What the old lady said is that next time I go, I'll bring more people." As soon as her words fell, Hou Ye hurriedly talked about her hometown.
"Your second grandfather wrote a letter, saying that it was a bumper harvest of millet grains, and with this batch of grain, he would not be hungry next year, but unfortunately, the rain still did not come, and I don't know when the drought will be this day?"
The peasants depend on the sky for food, so the people of this era have a blind reverence for the gods.
"What about somewhere else? I gave the king seeds, but I don't know if there will be a harvest? ”
"Wherever you plant in the north, you basically have a bumper harvest, not to mention and forget, for this, the emperor also gave you a reward, not only rewarded things, but also gave fiefs."
"My granddaughter also heard about it, but I don't know where it is?"
"The emperor pointed to two pieces of land at that time, let me pick it, grandpa thought twice, or chose the south, although the north is our hometown, but the south is rich, do you remember the pearl island? I got that place for you! ”
Manqing is overjoyed, she wants to go up and kiss her grandfather, her fief is an island? Haha, this is really a wish, as long as you can build a big ship, you can become a country of your own.
"Dad, tell your son to say, you just didn't think about it at the time, how good it was to pick Qingshan County, where is she sealed, won't we just return to our hometown?"
Su Kaicheng suddenly spoke, startling Man Qing, when did he quietly enter the house?
Manqing can understand his grandfather's thoughts, if he is sealed in Qingshan County, there will be many people who come to find trouble, not to mention others, just his father is annoying enough, and the tax may not be able to get it.
"Pearl Island is farther away, Emperor Longen, we have to worry about the king." Man Qing almost burst out laughing, his grandfather was serious, and he was really cute.
Su Kaicheng didn't dare to be verbose anymore, his father buckled his big hat, and then he was a bully, he said to his daughter with a straight face:
"What did you do? Everyone decided that the king had returned to the dynasty, but you left early but didn't come back! The emperor's award is not there, and it is too unusual. ”
Man Qing looked at him, this is his father! It's not as much as a maid to care about.
"If the emperor is to blame, I will explain it myself, and it will not affect the house, don't worry about this." She said lightly, it stands to reason that she hasn't seen her for a long time, and she should be saluted, but her grandparents didn't receive a salute, why should he?
"Yo, what the eldest lady said doesn't seem to be from this house, what do you mean that it won't be affected? If the emperor blames it, it won't be Manfu who will take responsibility for you. "Well, Du Shi is not willing to be lonely.
"What did you say, did the emperor blame it? Qing'er has made such a great contribution, and it is too late for the emperor to reward her, by the way, those things should be handed over to her. ”
When Mama Shi heard this, she hurriedly took the key and beckoned Moxiang to go to count, it turned out that the things were collected by her grandmother.
"Dad, we came here to tell you and mother about Manfu's marriage, and the Hu family has sent a letter and wants to marry as soon as possible."
"Impossible, she hasn't reached the end yet, not to mention that there are two sisters above, the eldest sister is not married, how can it be her turn?"
Hou Ye denied it, this marriage is extremely inappropriate, the unconscious Du family received a large dowry, the Hu family has already publicized it, although he has the intention to return the dowry to others, but if it is not handled properly, it will be rumored to oppress people, and now he can only take a drag word, which is also what he promised Qing'er.
Man Qing didn't speak, is the Hu family looking for death? She had already asked someone to hand over the message and asked them to take the initiative to come and withdraw from the marriage, of course, she would definitely make up for it, since she didn't eat the toast, then try the punishment bar.
It just so happens that her business wants to expand to Jiangnan, and it is also a good time to stand up.
"Master Hou, the Hu family is an only son, and it is understandable that he wants to get married as soon as possible, our eldest lady has not yet settled, isn't it too aggrieved to let Fu'er wait? Although she is a concubine, she is not so bullying, right? ”
"This country has national laws, and families have family rules, which family is not orderly? If she is too old to be delayed by the eldest sister, it's okay for you to say this, but how old is she, and the eldest sister is not even in time, what are you anxious about? The Hu family couldn't wait to withdraw from the marriage, this family affair was inappropriate. ”
Before the Hou Ye could speak, the old lady couldn't help it, how could her husband's majesty allow the younger generation to be offended.
Hou Ye looked at the old lady and smiled slightly, their husband and wife get together less and leave more, but in front of their children, they have always been very protective of him, although she has a lot of shortcomings, just by virtue of this, he can tolerate it.
The couple touched their noses, and Su Kaicheng looked at Man Qing and started thinking,
"The emperor's rewards are all clothes and jewelry, and you don't need so much, take them out and give them to your sisters, and give them to your mother."
