Yi'er shook her head and said, "They are sisters and brothers, so Miss Fei Kite is not thinking of any way to try to repair their relationship?" ”

Qing Li said: "Miss is a person who values family affection, so I think that everyone else in this world is so kind as Miss." The third lady didn't know what kind of ordeal she had suffered before, and one day she flew on the branch and became a phoenix, and her eyelids were shallow, even those of us who were slaves and maids were a little ashamed. All she thinks about in her eyes is the wealth and wealth of the Hou Mansion, where does she care about the family relationship with the little master's sister and brother? ”

Yi'er said: "You have a weak temperament on weekdays, and it is rare to arrange a person like this." ”

Qing Li handed over the tea and said, "A few slaves and maids, it has only been a few months since I left the Hou Mansion, Miss looked at Madame today, did she notice the haggard on Madame's face?" It's not that the slave and maid deliberately want to slander anyone, these changes in the lady, nine times out of ten, are all because of these three young ladies. ”

Yi'er sighed and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it, she is Madame's biological daughter after all, if she encounters it in the future, the rules and etiquette that should be there are still indispensable." ”

Qing Li lowered his head and said: "This slave is naturally saved." ”

Yi'er thought for a while, and said, "Who is waiting for Xiao Yu now?" ”

Qing Li said: "Miss, don't worry, the girls around the little master are still Ju Xiang and Xiang'er, and Madame Xu later sent Mama Xu to stay by the young master's side to serve." ”

Yi'er breathed a sigh of relief, Mama Xu was the most powerful housekeeper by Li's side, and it was naturally perfect for Li to pull her over to take care of Xiao Du Yu. In fact, Yi'er has been thinking that Li came over to add a box today, and said that the day of the wedding would not come, although Li did not say it explicitly at the time, and Yi'er did not ask more, but deep in her heart, subconsciously, Yi'er always felt that this was also related to the three young ladies.

In fact, after thinking about it carefully, Yi'er also understood that after all, she was the one who accompanied the Li couple for three years in the name of the third lady of the Qingxiang Hou Mansion, and in the past three years, her mother and daughter were filial and affectionate. The Li family lost their daughter back then, and their hearts were full of regret for this lost and recovered daughter, just to take care of Du Feiyuan's feelings, I am afraid that I have to keep a certain distance from her, maybe today, it may also be such an opportunity deliberately created by the Li family, Du Feiyuan on his back, only brought Du Yu, and it was secretly added to the door.

After thinking about the joints in this, Yi'er felt a little helpless, and she just ate a little bit of dinner casually, so she put the chopsticks, and the maids who were waiting saw that she was not very interested, and they didn't dare to say anything.

After another night, early the next morning, there was an unexpected guest in the county lord's mansion.

Chang Hao, the prince of the Hou of Zhenbei, came in with a prayer post.

Although Chang Hao is a foreign man, but since he knew that this person took the iron scroll of the Danshu given by the emperor to ask her for the honor of the county lord now, he was grateful to him in his heart.

Yi'er personally greeted Qianyunju, but to her surprise, Chang Hao did not come alone, and with him was a middle-aged man who was famous and fierce, about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, although he was wearing an idle robe, his waist was straight, and he walked in front of Chang Hao with square steps.

Yi'er's heart moved, and she smiled on her face, and after seeing the blessing of the body, she welcomed the two into the shallow cloud residence.

Sitting separately from the guest and host, as Yi'er expected, the middle-aged man sat in the upper seat, and Chang Hao sat in the lower seat on his side to accompany him. When the maid served tea, Yi'er got up, bowed to the middle-aged man Yingying, and said, "Wan Ming has seen Master Hou." ”

In fact, since meeting Yi'er, this person has been looking at Yi'er, from the shallow cloud outside, Yi'er is blessed to see the courtesy, Chang Hao coped with two sentences, deliberately did not introduce Yi'er, Yi'er did not ask much, according to the etiquette, they were welcomed in, between words and deeds, they were all generous, not hurried, he shouted in his heart, and now he saw Yi'er come forward again to salute, so he smiled and said: "The county lord does not need to be polite, Ben Hou has just returned to Yundu, listen to the dog mention, that day on the shore of Dongming Lake, thanks to the county lord to save him, The dog can be kept safe, so he followed the dog to the house, and I came to thank the county lord for his help. ”

Yi'er said: "Master Hou is serious. Wan Ming just happened to meet that day, in fact, with the bravery of the prince, Wan Ming's actions, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of painting snakes. Besides, after the prince helped him many times, Wan Ming didn't have time to thank him, how could he be worthy of the word thank you? ”

Chang Yuanzhong, Marquis of Zhenbei, saw that Yi'er's words were polite, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Speaking of which, Benhou is from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and he was also an errand boy under the grandfather of the country back then, and the county lord will marry into the Guogong Mansion in a few days. ”

Yi'er was stunned for a moment, a little unsure of the meaning of Chang Yuanzhong's words. When Chang Hao took out all the iron scrolls of the Hou Mansion for the sake of Yi'er, it is conceivable that this matter must be Chang Hao's private behavior, and he never obtained Chang Yuanzhong's consent in advance, when Yi'er talked to Jiang You about this, he was still a little worried that Chang Hao's move would not be able to explain to his father Chang Yuanzhong, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and now Chang Yuanzhong suddenly returned to Beijing, and followed Chang Hao to find her, Yi'er couldn't guess his thoughts, and he couldn't judge what his intentions were.

Chang Yuanzhong said again: "Ben Hou does not hide from the county lord, Ben Hou asked the emperor for permission to return to Beijing this time, a total of two things, the first is the marriage of the county lord and the prince of Ningguo, Ben Hou said, Ben Hou is from the five military governor's mansion, although now it is no longer subordinate to the governor's mansion, but in this life, no matter how bad the memory is, you can't forget your roots. Therefore, the marriage of the Ningguo Mansion was held, and the Marquis returned to Beijing to congratulate him. This second thing, is the dog's marriage, I think the county lord should also hear about it, the emperor is interested in marrying the dog, originally the emperor is in charge, and there is nothing to do here, but those of us who are parents, in the marriage of our children, where can we really put our minds at ease? ”

Yi'er nodded and said, "What Master Hou said is very true. ”

Chang Yuanzhong said again: "As the saying goes, good women are prosperous for three generations, evil wives destroy the whole family, and the marriage of dogs is the top priority of my town's Beihou Mansion." Although the emperor pointed to marriage, it would never be bad, but in this matter, more or less, Benhou also wants to take the initiative here. ”

Yi'er said: "Since ancient times, children have been anxious about their parents behind them, so there are parents who are like the sea and say that Hou Ye's move is reasonable." ”

Chang Yuanzhong glanced at Yi'er, took a sip of the fragrant tea on the table, and said: "The county lord also knows that since the beginning of the Northern Desert War three years ago, Ben Hou has been leading troops for many years, and he has limited knowledge of the powerful and noble families in Beijing. ”

Yi'er was completely stunned at this time, and looked at Chang Yuanzhong in surprise, seeing that this person had no expression on his face, not like he was joking, and he was suspicious in his heart, so he looked at Chang Hao again, this guy didn't know whether it was true or fake, this guy happened to hang his head slightly, as if he was thinking about things, and he was distracted, as if he didn't listen to Yi'er's conversation with his Lao Tzu.

Yi'er frowned, and had to say: "Wan Ming is just an ignorant woman and child, it seems that such a big thing, where will Wan Ming have any ideas, Hou Ye ......"

Chang Yuanzhong waved his hand and said: "Don't be taboo about the county lord, today's Benhou passed the mansion, it was a private matter, and the county lord's questions and discussions here, out of the county lord's mouth, into the ears of the marquis, that's all." Speaking of which, the county lord also knows that although the dog has been back to Yundu for a few months, he is a person with big nerves and is not sophisticated, so where will he have any considerations and understanding of the noble daughter of Jingzhong? Ben Hou really wanted to ask the county lord for advice and solve my doubts. ”

Yi'er's face was embarrassed, but she had to say: "That is the case, Hou Ye, please speak, it's just that Wan Ming is vulgar and unheard, and it is useless to talk about Hou Ye, I am afraid that it will mislead Hou Ye, then Wan Ming will be a big crime." ”

Chang Yuanzhong said: "The county lord is humble. If you want to talk about this noble girl in Beijing, it is natural that the four beauties of the capital are quite outstanding, but coincidentally, none of these four have decided to be married. Although the Marquis of Shengyi did not dare to speculate on himself, but roughly thinking about it, these four people must be candidates in the hands of the emperor, although the county lord has been in Beijing for a short time, but he has a lot of intersections with the noble circle of Yundu, I don't know what to think of these four noble women? ”

Yi'er thought for a moment and said: "Actually, Wan Ming knows very little about these people, if you really want to say that there is some friendship, there is only Miss Dou Ran in the mansion of Dou Zhang, the Taifu Temple, if the Hou Ye wants to ask Wan Ming's opinion, then Miss Dou is gentle and lovely, and her talent and appearance are all the best choice, and she is a good match." ”

Chang Yuanzhong said: "Ben Hou just said, what he said here today is all private words, it is a private word, the county lord has no scruples, Ben Hou asked about the four beauties of the capital, and the county lord picked a person who was at the bottom to speak, but I think that among the four beauties, only Miss Dou is the most suitable?" ”

Yi'er secretly thought to herself, this town Beihou blindly asked her preferences, and I didn't know what she was thinking, just according to the posture in front of her, this hall of the marquis seemed to be about to break the sand pot and ask to the end, if she didn't say a reason, I was afraid that she would not be able to stop, so she thought about it and said: "Miss Lei Xi of Shaoqing Lei Mansion of Dali Temple, character and appearance, I don't have to say, and she is the niece of Concubine Lei in the palace, and her status is noble, but for Hou Ye, I am afraid that it is this Miss Lei who is the first to be excluded." ”
