The daughter-in-law of the Li family was sharing the dishes and chopsticks on the side, and replied with a smile: "Anyway, we are not hungry, and these dishes are all you came up with, and we helped make them, so Aunt Lin thinks that you should be the first to taste them, so everyone unanimously agrees to wait for you to eat together." ”

"That's right, it's summer anyway, it's better to cool it down, and it's not good to eat hot and sweaty."

Meng Wei knew that they were waiting for them to eat together, don't care about the Marquis and Mrs. Marquis Huguo's face being kind to her, but that was only because the food Meng Wei cooked was right for their appetite, or it made them feel comfortable in other places, so it would naturally be better for her, an 'obedient' and 'well-behaved' little girl.

But the premise of all this is that she remembers who she is now and has not done anything out of the ordinary.

The little marquis has been pampered since she was a child, and she is used to being willful, she can be appropriately 'stupid' or do some things other than the maid, such as eating some ingredients in the kitchen that she can't eat as a second-class maid, or asking for her own order to try dishes for the little marquis.

As long as these are connived at by the little marquis, the marquis and the marquis will turn a blind eye.

But if the little marquis eats with the marquis and the marquis of the protector, she eats as happily as before, and I am afraid that the goodwill that has been brushed during this time will fall to the bottom again.

Not to mention that the Protector is a more old-fashioned person in her bones, if she does this when a guest comes to the door, she will definitely be furious.

So Meng Wei even saved the taste, just ate a little bit at random before serving the food to pad her stomach, and endured it for so long, and now when she sees the table full of dishes with all the colors and aromas, she has long felt hungry.

The feeling of being waited for and cared for made Meng Wei feel a lot better: "Come on, come on, everyone eat quickly, I'm dying of hunger, don't say I eat too much when you don't have enough to eat!" ”

While eating, Meng Wei remembered the letter, anyway, this matter is not a secret, so she asked: "By the way, the old marquis should be coming tomorrow, it is the news sent today, I don't know what kind of person the old marquis is?" ”

"Ahem, ahem, you, what did you say, ahem, ahem."

Aunt Lin was eating, but she didn't expect Meng Wei to ask this, she was choked by the cold, and she coughed non-stop.

Meng Wei sat between Aunt Lin and Zhen'er, and when she saw this, she got up and patted Aunt Lin on the back, and Zhen'er was also anxious when she saw this: "Aunt Lin, slow down." ”

Sister-in-law Li poured a glass of water and handed it over: "Aunt Lin, you drink a glass of water slowly, don't worry." ”

"Yes, you're such a big person, you can't eat in such a hurry."

Among them, the only one who dares to say this about Aunt Lin is Aunt Li, the mother-in-law of the Li family's sister-in-law, and the two are the same generation, so it is nothing for her to say so.

Aunt Lin drank the water, and the cough gradually stopped, and then she patted her chest: "Xiaowei, is what you just said true?" Why haven't I heard anything? ”

"Of course it's true, it's still the letter I received when I accompanied the little marquis to send the four princes and them out of the mansion just now, you haven't received it now, but I think someone will definitely come to inform you to prepare more of the old marquis's favorite food tomorrow."

"Love to eat? Doesn't the old marquis love to eat as long as it's meat? It's not that hard. ”

Aunt Li also added: "The old Hou Ye is a person who has the opposite temperament to the Hou Ye in short, and he is quite pleasant, but although he is smiling, sometimes he feels much more powerful than the Hou Ye." And it's good for the subordinates, as long as we are well-behaved, and occasionally make small mistakes, we will not be punished, you can rest assured. ”

"And although the old marquis is not young, but the body is strong, when I was in the capital before, I heard that I often had to learn from those generals, and there were many times, and those generals looked at the old marquis from afar and ran away."

Martial arts, Meng Wei is a little curious, could it be the kind of 'flying eaves and walking walls' in costume dramas that uses Weiya's talent to complete, and what kind of exaggeration really exists with one as ten?

This is not mentioned for the time being, based on what the two said, the old marquis should be a good master who has no frame and is sympathetic to his subordinates, and his appetite is also easy to satisfy, as long as it is meat, he will not refuse.

got the first-hand news, and Meng Wei's heart relaxed a lot.

With the small talk in the back, I learned that the old marquis left Beijing three years ago and returned to Yejia Village in Quanzhou, which is the hometown that the older generation often says.

Dalan has only been established for more than 20 years, and the old marquis has laid down the country with the emperor, and then he was named the protector of the country, and there are three other families who have been entitled, namely: the marquis of Zhenguo, the general of the auxiliary country, and the prince of Dingguo.

Dingguo Gong and the auxiliary generals are above the first grade, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are super first-class, probably like the princes of the opposite sex who were sealed by other dynasties, but there is no fief, but the power is very great.

It's just that only one daughter of Dingguo Gong married into the palace and became the queen, while the only son under the knee of the auxiliary general married the emperor's sister and became a concubine.

Meng Wei could only sigh at this, the founding emperor was afraid that he trusted these brothers and sisters who fought the country together, maybe he watched too many palace fighting dramas, but Meng Wei felt that if this trust was not good, it would be a life talisman.

Sometimes the fiefdom can be taken back slowly, but once some rights have been in the hands of others for too long, it is difficult to take them back.

Even if those four people are indeed loyal, who can guarantee that the descendants will not have any ambitions, after all, after being pressed on their heads for a long time, there will always be people who want to turn over and become masters.

I thought that the Protector Marquis was so infatuated with Mrs. Protector Marquis because he had won the true inheritance of Protector Marquis, but I didn't expect that the old Protector Marquis was a romantic person when he was young, and there are countless women in the backyard, which can be said to be diametrically opposed to the current Protector Marquis's temperament.

"But why is there no other master in this Hou Mansion? Could it be that the old marquis's concubines are all closed? ”

"No," Aunt Lin looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, so she leaned over and whispered: "I heard the old man in the house say that the old marquis's concubines went early, and as for how to go, no one is willing to say." ”

Meng Wei also learned to whisper: "Then the old Hou Ye has so many concubines and rooms, why is there only one child of the Hou Ye?" No more children? ”

In fact, what Meng Wei wanted to ask was why the four heroes who followed the emperor to open the country had only one heir so coincidentally, which was too unusual.

Aunt Lin shrugged: "I don't know about this, after all, although I have been in the mansion for a few years, at that time, in addition to the current three masters, there were only the old marquis and the old marquis, and I heard that at that time, the concubines were all gone." ”

"You are still young, don't be so curious about the master's affairs, we are slaves, as long as we know the master's preferences and serve the master well, sometimes if you know more, you may not be able to protect your life when you will die."
