Seeing that the faces of the ladies were different, Cai Shi hurriedly turned his face to the old lady and smiled: "Eldest sister, I'm sorry, the subordinates have no form and disturb the tranquility of the garden." ”

Mrs. Zhou said disapprerovingly: "It's all my own family, what's worth it, what can't I live with." Whoever doesn't have a few slaves and fierce servants, just beat them out. The Hou family has a big business, and the younger siblings still have to be tight. ”

Cai's smile was extremely unnatural, "In the end, the eldest sister is an understanding person!" ”

I saw that the eldest lady Sun hurried to her mother-in-law Cai, bowed her head and whispered a few words, Cai's brows furrowed slightly, and she confessed a few words, and Sun left.

Mrs. Zhou said suspiciously: "But what's the important thing?" ”

Cai Shi said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, the daughter of a housekeeper in the house is sick and dead, and she thinks that she has little silver, and she is making trouble." ”

Mrs. Zhou immediately said: "It's really that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, you, you are too soft-hearted." ”

Cai Shi looked embarrassed and said: "Who let us all eat fasting and recite Buddha." Come on, come on, let's just have fun with us. ”

However, this scolding sound, as if it was against Cai's, was louder than the other, and it was clearly transmitted into the garden. After a while, with a scream, everything came to an abrupt end.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion sighed secretly in their hearts, and the smile was put on their faces again, just as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Xinyao no longer had the slightest appetite, and even turned a blind eye to Jiang Xinshan's provocation, leaning lazily on Gu's, unwilling to move.

This feast of the Hou Mansion ended hastily after a miserable scream.

Mrs. Zhou finished eating, drank tea, and said that she was old and couldn't stand the tiredness, so she took the ladies of the Jiang Mansion back to the house first.

Jiang Xinyao was physically and mentally tired, and as soon as she returned to the room, she took off her jewelry and clothes, and leaned on the collapse to close her eyes and recuperate.

From the man's scolding, Xin Yao had a general idea of what happened in the Hou Mansion.

Zhou Dongliang, the eldest son of the Marquis of Annan, saw that the daughter of the housekeeper was quite attractive, and he saw that he revolted. Coaxed to come. This girl is a fierce one, and she bit Zhou Dashao in the resistance, and Zhou Dashao was angry and raped her. After that. Lost it to the little guy around him, and got killed.

The housekeeper and his wife were nearly thirty years old, and only this daughter was obtained, and the mother learned that her daughter had died tragically, and a hemp rope ended up with herself. The steward was also a fierce man, who refused the money, and was bent on making the murderer pay for his life. But how can my arms be twisted over my thighs? I lost my errand, I was lame and locked up in a firewood room. Today he came out with a knife. The people couldn't bear him, so there was a scolding at the gate of the garden.

The gentleman's ze, the fifth generation and beheading, this is the law of development of the big family. Hou Mansion Zhong Ming Ding Food House, hereditary III. Although it is magnificent, the wealth and honor are still the same, and the luck is far from reaching the fifth generation.

Today's events are faintly showing signs of decay, the old are deaf and incompetent, and the young are greedy for pleasure, bullying men and women. Grass cares about human life. There is a way that the first spring of Xiangyangmen is always there, and the family of kindness is more than celebrated. The Hou Mansion is acting like this, I am afraid it is not a good sign.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyao sat up suddenly, put on her clothes, and walked out.

Yinggui put down the needle and thread in his hand. After a few words of explanation, Weiyun hurriedly followed.

……

Gu had just come back from Brother Hao's room at this time, so he stopped to drink a cup of tea, and when he saw his daughter coming, he hurriedly said, "I've been tired for a long time." Why don't you have a good rest in the room, and run around to do something? ”

Jiang Xinyao waved the girl out of the room and asked, "Has my father and brother come back?" ”

Gu said with a smile: "Where can it be so early, the master has his own business, I heard that there are not only people in our house today, but also Hou Ye's friends, I'm afraid it will be later." ”

Jiang Xinyao sneered: "Mother, good fortune and evil, ancient and modern theorems. There are three reports for Buddhist preaching, one for reporting; Ersheng Bao; Three quick reports. Accumulating good deeds and virtues are good deeds, and doing evil deeds is evil rewards. When my daughter came to the Hou Mansion today, she only felt that she was prosperous and gorgeous, extravagant and hedonistic, and it was very prosperous for a while, but she ever thought that she would be happy and miserable, and that she would be rich and scattered in a blink of an eye? ”

Gu Shi smiled and sighed: "I see that it is also a little over, not to mention the food and drink, just the dress of the girls in the garden, I know its pomp." ”

"Mother, look at the dripping water and know the sea. Today's incident at the gate of the garden, looking at the reaction of everyone in the Hou Mansion, you can know that it is sparse and usual. Although the high-ranking officials of the Hou Mansion are prominent, others can't help it, if one day the building will fall ......"

Xin Yao saw that Gu Shi didn't understand clearly, so she decided to speak more bluntly.

"Mother, the Marquis of Annan is just a title with a different surname. At the beginning, he was meritorious, and then he was crowned Hou. It stands to reason that the nobles who have been knighted should gradually hand over their military power and become rich and idlers. This is the hereditary third Marquis of Annan, and he also held some military power. If you are the emperor, you can sleep soundly on the couch. I heard that the Marquis of Annan supported the son of the Queen Mother to ascend to a high position, and the auxiliary lord was meritorious, which led to today's scenery. It's just that now the Queen Mother has passed away, and she is a son of heaven and a courtier, mother. ”

Gu Shi was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Yao'er, you mean that the emperor wants to move the Hou Mansion?" ”

Jiang Xinyao shook her head and sighed: "Who the emperor wants to move, my daughter doesn't know, my daughter only knows that she has accumulated good deeds, and the blessing has not come, and the disaster is far away." The Hou Mansion of Annan acted like this, I am afraid that it will not last long. For the sake of the Jiang family, the daughter wanted to ask her mother to persuade her father to stay away from the Hou Mansion, in case something really bad, it would not involve her father. ”

Gu Shi hurriedly said: "How can it not be involved, no matter how you say it, it is the old lady's maiden family, your father's uncle's family." How good is that? ”

Jiang Xinyao hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, this is just a temporary worry for my daughter." If you don't take it seriously, let's say that this is one of them. Second, the old lady has been married to the Jiang family for decades, and there is a way that the married daughter spills out the water, as long as the father is diligent, innocent and innocent, does not show favoritism, does not take bribes, does not bend the law, and does not participate in the bad things of the Hou Mansion, he will not be involved. ”

Gu patted his chest and said with palpitations: "You kid, you scared me to death, it seems like the truth." ”

Jiang Xinyao said seriously: "Mother, it's not that I'm alarmist, it's always good to guard against something." You see in our house, the old, the small, dozens of people, they can't be the funeral goods of the Hou Mansion, and when the time comes, they won't cry! ”

Gu Shi pondered: "What my son said has some truth, when your father comes back, I will talk to him about it." ”

Xin Yao said again: "Mother takes care of the house, and she also has to bind the housekeepers, subordinates, don't bully people to do that kind of thing." In the old years, the second brother and the maid had passed. Don't indulge in it, you still have to manage it. This is the capital, not Suzhou Mansion, no one can cover the sky with one hand? ”

Gu nodded and said, "Don't worry, the people in our house." Not yet. The one in the west is less daring than anyone else, and it can't make a big deal. Yao'er, what are you thinking about all day long? If your two younger brothers were as clever as you, I would be Amitabha. ”

Xin Yao smiled: "Mother, my younger brothers are still young, I just read a few more books than others." ”

In the second half of the sentence, Xin Yao didn't say it, not only did she read a few more books than others, but she also experienced more than others.

……

At two o'clock, Jiang Hongsheng entered the house with a confused look.

Gu waited and took off his clothes, washed up, and brought the decanting soup. Jiang Hongsheng drank it all, hugged Gu's family, and was about to fall asleep.

Gu whispered in his ear what he had seen and heard in the Hou Mansion during the day and his daughter's words, and told Second Master Jiang 1510.

Jiang Hongsheng listened to a few words with his eyelids on his eyelids at first, but he didn't expect that the more he listened, the more shocked he became. The more I listened, the more scared I became, and I suddenly fell asleep.

He has heard of these bullying men and women in the Hou Mansion for a long time, but he is a person with a foreign surname, how can he say it? Besides, who doesn't have some dirty things, it's just a few girls. Just spend more money, it's not serious.

Listening to Gu Shi say this, and then thinking of the undercurrent surging in the court these days, Jiang Hongsheng was shocked into a cold sweat, put on his clothes, and said to Gu Shi to sit in the study. Let her sleep first, don't wait for him, and walked out.

Gu Shi didn't stop him, turned off the lights, and had a good night's sleep.

……

Jiang Hongsheng stayed in the study all night. The next day, as soon as it was dawn, I came to the old lady's bedroom.

Mrs. Zhou had just gotten up and had not yet washed, when she saw her son come in with a pale face and blue eyes, she was frightened that something had happened.

Jiang Hongsheng hurriedly stepped forward to help his mother and told the old lady what he had been thinking about all night.

After hearing this, the old lady took a long breath and said, "I thought it was a great event that was worth your early morning coming." In the end, he is young and can't hold his breath. Your mother and I are almost sixty years old this year, and my grandfather followed the first emperor to lay down this country and make contributions, which led to the Marquis of Annan's Mansion. My father, your grandfather, was diligent and loyal, and his power was passed on to my younger brother, and the glory of the clan could be described as unfailing for a hundred years.

The Hou family has a big business, and it is normal to have a few children and grandchildren who are not successful. Your eldest brother, isn't that also such a person? Where will the foundation be moved because of these little things.

Take a step back and talk about it, the relationship between the Hou Mansion and the palace has always been harmonious, your eldest uncle's eldest daughter, married to the nephew of the Empress Dowager, and the youngest daughter of the concubine is now the pillow person today. Today is a filial piety, weak temperament, has always been respected by the queen mother, and when the queen mother leaves, she will always take care of something. You've been worried. ”

Jiang Hongsheng said: "What my mother said is very true, but recently in the court, there have been frequent official transfers, which seem to be unintentional, but in fact they have a deep meaning, and they have to be guarded against." ”

Mrs. Zhou said: "It is also the reason why the prince has not stood up." Anyway, you only be your official in peace, and the Hou Mansion will move around less. We have lived in Jiangnan for a long time, and we have only been in Beijing for a few months, and some things have not yet been figured out, so it is not wrong to live a life by keeping our duty. Now it seems that Gu is a virtuous person, and he has a little insight when he can think of this. is only a woman's family, and her courage is always smaller. ”

Jiang Hongsheng opened his mouth, but he didn't tell the truth, but said: "Old lady, if you want to squeak with your uncle, the people in the house are better to hold on to something, and at a critical time, you can't make trouble." ”

Mrs. Zhou was silent for a moment and said, "Our surname is Jiang, and it's not good to stretch your hand too long." Let's talk about it when the right opportunity arises. ”

Jiang Hongsheng accompanied the old lady to breakfast, and then went to the yamen.

Jiang Xinyao naturally expected that her father would discuss with the old lady, and the old lady would find an opportunity to hint at An Nanhou. My father's personality can be regarded as cautious, and he will be more or less admonished.

As for the Hou Mansion, Jiang Xinyao thinks that benevolence is the best of righteousness, and everything is only by the will of heaven.
