A group of men dressed as if they were servants of a large family hurried over. Squeezed away the servants of the Hou Mansion and occupied a large area under the bridge. Several servants of the Hou Mansion were pushed aside, and two of them fell, and everyone was angry and anxious, and asked the visitor: "Where are you?" How bold it is! Do you know what kind of family we are?! But no one paid any attention to them.

Then came seven or eight more servants, all well-dressed and wearing gold and jade jewelry. They laid a carpet on the circled ground and set up a desk chair, but another gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman walked into the teahouse with two little girls proudly, and ordered the little girl to throw a silver ingot to the shopkeeper, and ordered him to empty the customers in the store and clean the storefront, so that her master could come here to rest. The customers in the store were dissatisfied when they saw that the visitor was so arrogant, but when they heard the woman mention the word "Qi", they all got up and left, and they didn't even settle the account. The shopkeeper couldn't stop it, and when he saw that the silver ingots were genuine, he was a little relieved, and ordered Xiao Er to clean the store at the same time. Quietly asked someone to go upstairs to appease the guests who had stayed in the private room. He heard the woman say that it was only possible for the nobles to come here to rest, and it might not alarm the guests on the second floor, so he didn't want to lose another piece of income!

The old lady was very displeased when she saw that the person was so arrogant, and called An's: "Isn't it all arranged?" Whose subordinate is that, so rude?! An also felt deeply embarrassed, this clearing work was arranged by her, but it was dispersed as soon as it was rushed, didn't it fall on her face? She stepped aside and whispered to the housekeeper in charge: "What's going on?!" It's a shame for us to be the Marquis of Qingguo! "The housekeeper's lady is a little aggrieved, obviously someone came to be arrogant and squeezed people away, how can you blame her? On the bright side, he didn't dare to show it.

Chunying saw her upstairs and was very puzzled. Who's coming? Usually, like the Hou Mansion, the servant women are lined up in a circle on the periphery, which means to divide the territory, and ordinary people see it, and they know that it is the female dependents of the big families who come to see them off, and they will take a detour. And although the circle drawn by the Hou Mansion is a little larger, there is still room for pedestrians to cross, even if the people who come think that the road is too narrow, and ask those servants to give way, they can also clearly make a request, so it is rare to rush over in such a big way. Those who don't know still think that they are going to stage a full martial arts! Besides, they want to enclose land under the bridge, why do they have to go to the teahouse to catch customers? What is the origin of the word "Qi"?

Chun Ying leaned against the door of the elegant room and watched Hu Fei whisper to Xiao Er outside, and after a while, he turned back to the elegant room, and she hurriedly asked, "Do you know who is coming?" Hu Fei lowered his voice and replied, "It's the Pingxi Hou Qi family." ”

Pingxihou? Chunying has heard of this family, although they are all marquis, but compared with the marquis of Qingguo, they are much younger, it is said that it was a title that was awarded when the first emperor was born, except for the title and the property, there is no special place, how can he act so publicly?

There was a commotion downstairs again, Chun Ying hurriedly rushed to the window to look down, only to see a line of green silk sedan chairs coming from afar, accompanied by twenty or thirty servants, and soon after the sedan chair stopped, they surrounded a few women in Chinese clothes and walked in the direction of the teahouse, and the noble lady headed by seemed to be without opinion. Glancing at the docks, he stopped, but didn't say hello.

The old lady, on the other hand, stared at the visitor in silence and squinted. She is in Beijing, not the most noble one, but because she has a granddaughter who is a princess, even if she is a relative of the emperor, she has to come forward to say hello when she meets, but unfortunately she has a bad memory when she is old, and she can't remember which family this woman is, she is so arrogant!

An Shi couldn't hold his breath and snorted coldly: "What a big show!" But when he heard Liang's little exclamation, he greeted him with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be Mrs. You, no wonder I always feel that your family is familiar!" He saluted the other party again: "Yue'er has said goodbye to your old man!" ”

The lady smiled on her face and personally picked up Liang: "It turned out to be your child, since you left the cabinet, you haven't come to talk to me anymore, I miss it, this has always been good?" ”

The two talked enthusiastically, because there were servants and women outside, and no one else came to disturb them, but the faces of the old lady and An Shi were ugly. The new daughter-in-law fought hotly with other daughters-in-law in front of her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, but ignored the face of her husband's family, which is really a lesson! What are you doing?!

Chunying looked funny upstairs, secretly covered her mouth, and turned her head, but saw a daughter-in-law beside An's looking up. The four eyes were square, she was taken aback, hurriedly retracted her head, and felt that she had nothing to hide, so she stretched out her head again, and the daughter-in-law had already put her eyes back on Liang.

Chun Ying was stunned, and then heard Hu Fei whisper behind her: "This Pingxi Hou Qi family was originally just an ordinary prince's mansion, because the main mother Liu is the sister of the current Empress Dowager Liu, so no one dares to provoke them in Beijing." The second lady of his family, who married the maiden brother of the second grandmother of your Hou Mansion the year before last, is the one who made trouble at the wedding banquet before. Speaking of in-laws, they are all in-laws. ”

Chunying suddenly realized, it turned out to be a related household on Taishi Liang's side, no wonder she hated the Qingguo Marquis Mansion so much. She returned to the table and sat down, and said with a smile: "Even if there is a grudge, such a blatant one is too much, right?" ”

Hu Fei smiled and poured her a cup of tea: "The son of the Liang family made a big fuss at his sister-in-law's wedding, and when he heard about it, he was furious, and he revoked his fame, and also reprimanded him with a clear decree, and ordered that he would never use it. The Liang family and the Qi family hate your Hou Mansion for this. To be honest, your lord is a little wronged. He wanted to suppress the matter, but that night was so big, who in Beijing didn't know? He said that it was the same result whether he said it or not, but the black cauldron still had to be carried by him. "And if you don't say it, it will attract the suspicion of the Supreme!

Chunying raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect things to change like this, although she was about to leave the house, but her parents were still inside, she was a little worried, and hurried to the window again, looking out carefully.

The noble lady Liu had already brought a large group of people to the old lady and An's face. was looking at Huo Yi and said something with a smile, but the old lady and An's faces turned green when they heard it, Huo Yi answered her with a straight face, Chunying only heard the words "grandmother and aunt are loving" and "the villain made a rumor", and was wondering what was going on, so she saw that Liu said goodbye and turned around and entered the teahouse. Liang wanted to follow, but An glared at him a few times and reluctantly stayed.

What's going on here?

Huo Yi didn't say anything more, the servants of the Gu family came to invite the young master and grandmother to get on the boat, and she cried again to say goodbye to the old lady and Mrs. An, and boarded the boat with the support of her husband. The boat slowly sailed from the shore, farther and farther away. Chunying stood by the window and watched, and also waved her handkerchief gently: "I've been together for a few years, I wish you a smooth journey......"

Huo Yi shed tears while waving his handkerchief, and suddenly when he looked up, he saw Chun Ying in the teahouse, stunned, and a little moved. Chun Ying smiled slightly, waved her hand, and she smiled back, then covered her mouth with a handkerchief and lowered her head and sobbed.

Seeing that the boat had gone away, Chun Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and looked downstairs, the servants of the Hou Mansion had already won back some territory from the Qi family, hugged the masters and got into the sedan chair, and was about to leave. Shouldn't she go? When he turned around and saw Hu Fei fiddling with dishes on the table, he was surprised to find that he had actually ordered a few exquisite refreshments: "Huh? You're ......."

Hu Fei said with a smile: "I went out early in the morning, and I didn't have time to have breakfast, here I used to come with my father, and then ...... When I was talking to the merchants about business, I also sat downstairs a few times, but at that time I couldn't afford to eat a few of the signature snacks here, so I really missed it and took advantage of the time I had today. It also satisfies a craving. He blinked: "It's still early, and there are people downstairs who are an eyesore, how about you sit with me for a while?" How many snacks to try? ”

Chunying smiled, walked over and sat down, smelled the snacks on the table, and said, "It seems to be very fragrant, and the appearance is small, but I don't know how it tastes?" "Think about it, there is still the Qi family downstairs, anyway, the family is fine, it's still early before lunch, why don't you accompany Hu Fei to relax? He pulled Hu Fei with great interest and asked him to introduce those snacks.

Hu Fei talked about their wonders, and also talked about the exquisite snacks he had eaten in Jiangnan, as well as the strange eating habits of the Nanyang countries. Chunying listened interestingly, chatting and eating at the same time, and before she knew it, time passed. After the Qi family received the relatives who went north by boat and left, she and Hu Fei returned to the back street of Houfu together, but fortunately, Lu Yougui was a quarter of an hour earlier and was not discovered. The two breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other, both of them couldn't help but laugh.

Chunying avoided her father and whispered to Hu Fei: "It's very interesting today, I think that osmanthus strip cake and toad spit honey are very delicious, it doesn't seem to be difficult to make, I'm idle tomorrow, try to make it, please come and eat it when it's done, okay?" ”

"Okay." Hu Fei smiled slightly, "That steamed chicken fat roll is also good, if you like to eat it, I will inquire about the method and set his family's secret recipe!" ”

The two of them were talking and laughing, and Lu Yougui was watching from the sidelines, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: Stinky boy, when will you get so close to his daughter......

Not to mention the joy of the Lu family (?) The atmosphere, in the Qingguo Marquis' Mansion, is a different scene. The old lady went all the way back to her room, hurriedly sent Jing and all the granddaughters who came to greet her, and drove out all the idlers, so she asked Liang with a cold face: "What do you mean?!" Mrs. Pingxihou slandered your mother-in-law, not only did you not help argue, but also echoed it, you still have the face to say that it is the daughter-in-law of our Li family?! ”

Liang said casually: "The old lady is serious, the granddaughter-in-law is just telling the truth, everyone in Beijing has spread it all over, everyone says so, but seeing that your old man is old, I am afraid that you will not be able to stand it, so I hide it from you." Our in-laws' wife was originally a cool person, and she couldn't bear to see Cousin Huo being wronged, so she just spoke up, but it's a pity...... Cousin Huo is also a ...... who is afraid of things."

The old lady slapped the table angrily: "What do you mean to be afraid?!" What does it mean that everyone in Beijing has spread it all over the world?! I've never heard of anything like this! Then he turned angrily to An's: "You say! Everyone else says that you swallowed your niece's daughter's property, but is there such a thing?! ”

An Shi hid his face and cried: "My daughter-in-law is really wronged!" Where does this start? That year, Mrs. Gu was gone, and the old lady thought that Yi'er was less sluggish, and she couldn't bear it, so she specially brought her to the family to raise her, and she was worried that the Huo family would bully the young master, so she ordered her daughter-in-law to help take care of a few properties. This theory of annexation is really out of nowhere! Yi'er also denied it, didn't she? He reprimanded Liang fiercely: "How can there be a daughter-in-law like you!" Helping outsiders say that the mother-in-law is not, it is really unfilial! ”

Liang sneered: "If my mother-in-law has a clear heart, why did she change the steward of the Huo family's property?" also sold his family's property at a low price, and the buyer was his mother-in-law's person! Those properties were originally placed by the Huo family's ancestors, and they were in Beijing, almost everyone had patronized them, they knew the roots, and they knew it as soon as they were replaced, who could they hide? ! ”

An Shi was about to argue again, but the old lady had already shouted: "Shut up for me!" Her body shook, she only felt dizzy, and Venus was in front of her, and An Shi hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit down. Liang was also afraid that something would happen, so he shut up.

The old lady took a few breaths and said in a trembling voice: "No wind and no waves!" Today on the dock, the Huo family heard it, and the relatives really ...... Yi'er has been out of the cabinet, and her family's property has been inherited by Brother Rong. There are people in the Huo family, and we don't need to be relatives! Daughter-in-law, I'll give you three days, you return all those things to his house, and settle the accounts clearly! lest something ugly happen in the future! ”

An Shi was unwilling in her heart, and wanted to say something more, but the old lady had already rubbed her temples and breathed heavily again, so she had to keep silent, gritting her teeth secretly, and suddenly complained a little bit about Huo Yi. Since you're willing to speak for yourself, why don't you make it clearer? Just say that you haven't done it, what kind of nonsense do you mention about your aunt's love and care, and money is something outside the body? It's as if she's implying that you've really swallowed her property!

Looking at Liang, the roots of An's teeth itched again. Such a daughter-in-law, she must teach her a good lesson。.。
