The old lady had two sons and a daughter, and the daughter got married early. and the family of the eldest son and the second son live in the Hou Mansion. The eldest son, Lu Qingyun, is also the owner of the Hou Mansion, Lu Houye, and his wife Bai have a son and a daughter, and a concubine Nian. The second son, Lu Qingsong, was on duty in the household department, and had a daughter and two sons with his wife Mao, and a son from the concubine Mu.

Except for the two concubines, everyone got together, and the big family was eating, when they saw the little guy next to Hou Ye come in and say something in Hou Ye's ear, and Hou Ye's expression changed suddenly. The old lady had almost eaten at this time.

I saw her take the tea from the maid who was waiting next to her and rinse her mouth slowly, and then asked casually: What's the matter, I put on my face early in the morning, is there any dissatisfaction with the old woman? ”

"My son didn't dare, but the people below just said something unpleasant." Lu Houye said respectfully with a restrained expression.

"What don't you like, I don't know that little guy next to you has always been very good at talking to your heart. Speaking of which, Lu Dadao Er should also come back from the countryside, it can't be that they didn't do a good job. ”

"My mother is wise, and I can't hide anything from my mother. Lu Dazhu just replied that the things that were confiscated from us over there were still very polite words. ”

"Does she blame us, but I also have no choice but to hate us so much..."Before the old lady could say anything, Mrs. Hou next to Lu Hou Ye couldn't stand it at first, and tears flowed down all of a sudden, and she threw herself into Lu Hou Ye's arms and cried.

"Okay, okay, things haven't been cleared yet, what to do to make a crying appearance." The old lady saw Mrs. Hou's tearful eyes and pitiful look in her son's arms, and her son's distressed comfort was so far from it. The nineteenth time regretted that he should not bear the crying and begging of his son to marry this terrible daughter-in-law for him.

"While everyone is here at this moment, call Lu Dadao Er in to tell you what's going on."

"It's the mother. Go to Shunzi, you go and call Lu Dalu and their brothers. Lu Houye nodded respectfully before turning his head and ordering his little servant.

Seeing that Shunzi took the order and left, trying her best not to look at Mrs. Hou's bad look, the old lady turned her head and gently comforted Lu Nanxi next to Mrs. Hou.

"Xi'er, don't worry, we have only one eldest daughter in our family, and that is you, and it is said that it is better to be born than to raise grace, and these ancestors are also fateful... But grandmother loves you the most in her heart. ”

Hearing the old lady's words, Lu Nanxi sneered in his heart, he valued me the most? I value myself the most, and I value power the most. If he hadn't cried to the second prince and hinted that the second prince would have come to propose, he would have been sent back to the countryside a long time ago.

Thinking that he was going to go to that place in the countryside to make a fire, maybe he would marry a mud leg, Lu Nanxi felt that he was about to collapse just thinking about it. Although I am a little sorry for that girl, but if people don't kill for themselves, who doesn't want to live a good life? And if the Hou Mansion really values blood kinship, it will not give up on that girl just because of the slightest hint from the second prince. Blood relatives are so selfish, how can they ask others to be selfless?

Countless emotions flashed in his heart, and Lu Nanxi still said with a respectful and touched expression on his face: "Thank you, grandmother, Xi'er knows everything." ”

"Uh-huh, good!" The old lady was very satisfied when she saw Lu Nanxi like this.

Soon Junko returned with the people, and as soon as the two men came in, they knelt down respectfully and greeted the people in the house. "Lu Da greets the old lady, Master Hou, Mrs. Hou, the prince, the second master, the second lady, the second young master, the third young master, the fourth young master, the eldest miss, the second miss, and the third miss."

"Lu Er greets the old lady, Master Hou, Mrs. Hou, the prince, the second master, the second lady, the second young master, the third young master, the fourth young master, the eldest miss, the second miss, and the third miss."

"Okay, excuse me, get up and tell me what's going on." These two people are the two stewards who went to the Gu family, and the fat one called Lu Er is Lu Da. Both of them are the sons of the Hou Mansion.

Lu Da knew his younger brother's temperament and replied by himself. "The slave and the younger brother went to the Gu family to deliver things to the young lady according to the instructions of the old lady and the Hou Ye Hou, who knew that the young lady would not be very happy when she saw us."

"And the son of the Gu family is not very friendly to the two slave brothers, and he looks down on us Houfu a little bit in and out of his words..."

"The shaft is unreasonable! He... How dare he look down on us Houfu? "The old lady has always been sought after up and down in the mansion, and when she heard that someone actually looked down on the Hou Mansion, she was so angry that she almost didn't come up in one breath.

"Mother!"

"Mother, don't be angry!"

"Grandmother!" "Grandmother is fine." Seeing that the old lady was angry like this, everyone looked worried, whether they were sincere or fake. The two Lu brothers over there were so frightened that they knelt on the ground when the old lady was angry.

"I'm fine, let him continue. I want to know why that son of the Gu family doesn't look down on us Houfu. Regardless of the fact that everyone looked worried about themselves, the old lady took care of herself and motioned to Lu Da to continue.

"Minions... "Although Lu Da is much smarter than Lu Er, he is still a slave who looks up to others. Seeing that the old lady was so angry because of her words, she was very scared, and regretted that she had added oil and vinegar to the Gu family brothers and sisters in order to give eye medicine, for fear that because she was so angry that the old lady would have a good job, not only her whole family would be affected. How dare you continue to talk about it.

"Why should my aunt be angry, the son-in-law who still takes care of the family really gave him face, how can he be called a son-in-law with mud legs. Isn't there a word for sitting in a well and watching the sky? He grew up in the countryside since he was a child, how can he understand the dignity of our Hou Mansion? ”

The beautiful woman who spoke looked quite sharp, she was not only the second lady but also the niece of the old lady's mother's family, so she called the old lady aunt. However, she has always been very popular with the old lady, not only because of this relationship, but mainly because of her clever mouth, which often coaxes the old lady to smile.

"As far as you can speak, you little woman can still use words, and you are not afraid of jokes." Sure enough, although the old lady reprimanded the second lady on her face, everyone could see that the old lady was in a significantly better mood.

Seeing that the old lady was in a better mood, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Mrs. Hou secretly pouted and muttered dissatisfiedly, "I am used to pleasing people." ”

Simply her voice was very quiet, and no one heard her muttering, and the atmosphere gradually improved.

The old lady asked the maid to pour herself a cup of tea, and after drinking it slowly, she ignored everyone's obstruction and motioned to Lu Da to continue.

This time, Lu Da didn't dare to add more oil and vinegar, but he just skillfully erased the push of himself and his younger brother in it and told the story of the incident. However, the latter thing Lu Da felt that even if he didn't add oil and vinegar, it sounded very good to make the old lady angry, so Lu Da honestly said that he took his younger brother to kneel on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head.

Not only did Lu Da feel that the old lady would definitely be angry, but everyone in the room felt the same way. Everyone stared at the old lady tightly and kept silent, afraid that she would be angry and angry.
