Chapter 80: Slap in the face
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
The news of Xue Su's pregnancy reached the Tan family, and the mother and daughter of the Zhou family, who lived in the Hou Mansion, naturally heard about it.
At this moment, there are no outsiders in the wing, Aya'er is holding a porcelain bowl in her hand, slowly drinking the boiled milk, her eyes fell on the makeup box, Zhou is rubbing powder on the copper mirror, and putting the red silk flower on his head to compare, completely ignoring that he is still in the filial piety period.
"Mother, Madame is pregnant, if she gives birth to the child, will the two of us be driven back to Luoyang?"
Zhou didn't look back, and while applying rouge to his face, he said, "How can she have such a great ability?" Hou Fuzhong or Hou Ye has the final say, our mother and mother are the widows of soldiers, and they have no place in their hometown at all, if they are kicked out, won't it chill everyone's hearts? โ
Zhou looks weak on the surface, but in fact, her mind is not shallow, otherwise she is a powerless woman, and there is no way for her to rush from Luoyang to the capital with her daughter.
"The Hou Mansion is really big, all the maids here are well-behaved, much better than at home, I want to stay here forever and never return to Luoyang."
The little girl's eyes were rolling, she was already eight years old, this age was not small in the Dayu Dynasty, and she was naturally very governor. However, in front of Chu Qinghe, Zhou Aya'er was happy to show that she was ignorant of the world, after all, her mother said that only simple children are likable, and they will not make people defensive.
The woman's body was covered with a layer of fragrant powder, revealing a rich light fragrance, which was not strong, but very seductive. In addition, Zhou's already gave birth to a delicate face, although the skin is not good, but it is also concave and convex, which is coveted.
Such a pretty widow lives in the Fuguo Marquis Mansion, and others won't think much about it at first, but as time goes by, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no rumors.
Zhou Aya'er stared at her mother, couldn't help pursing her lips, and said unceremoniously, "Madame's appearance is much stronger than yours, even if you are pregnant, I am afraid that Master Hou will not be interested in you." โ
Soft white fingertips pinched the little girl's face, and Zhou smiled slightly:
"You're young and don't understand a man's mind, how do you say that? A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, stealing is better than stealing, I am Zhou Hongyong's widow, this identity is different from others, it is a woman that Hou Ye can't touch, some men are cheap, the more he can't touch, the more he wants to get his hands on it......"
As she spoke, the smile on Zhou's face became more and more intense, and there was an obvious imperative in her eyes, as if the huge Hou Mansion had become something in her pocket.
Hearing this, Zhou Aya'er also felt a little reasonable. She didn't mean to stop her mother, after all, it was more important for her to live a good life of fine clothes and food than to keep filial piety for her dead father, and filial piety or something, it was not too late to let it go for the time being.
"There is a young lady in the house named Liansheng, I glanced at her yesterday and found that there was a depression in her eyebrows, obviously life is not going well, you go to Minglian Courtyard to visit her, remember to inquire, see when the Hou Ye will come back, if you can meet, it will be great."
"Save me, you can rest assured."
Zhou Aya'er's Yuxue is cute, and there are two deep dimples on the cheeks when she laughs, which makes people feel no bad feelings, plus she is smarter than girls of the same age when she is a child.
At her mother's behest, she quickly ran to Mingryin Temple.
Since he went to Huguo Temple, Xue Su has never allowed Liansheng to go out, the thirteen-year-old girl's family has reached the age of discussing relatives, in case Liansheng is bewitched by someone and ruins his reputation, what should he do in the second half of his life?
It's easy to learn bad, but it's hard to learn, for this cheap niece, the husband and wife are simply heartbroken, but the owner of the family doesn't appreciate it or thank him, and he doesn't know how many times he scolded Xue Su in a place where no one was.
At this moment, Liansheng stayed in the master bedroom, and Peony was a little afraid that she would be angry, and whispered, "Miss, the girl from the Zhou family is outside the door." โ
"Miss Zhou?"
Yesterday, the time when Zhou's mother and son arrived at the house was not early, so the news did not spread, she was full of doubts, and asked with a stiff face, "Where did Miss Zhou come from?" โ
"Yesterday, a mother and daughter came to the mansion to live temporarily, it seems that they are the family members of Zhou Hongyong and Deputy General Zhou, Vice General Zhou died on the battlefield, their orphans and widows were persecuted by the clan, and they had nowhere to go, so they came to our Hou Mansion."
Although Liansheng is simple, she is not a fool, she grew up in Anning Village since she was a child, and the so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and she has seen many things about the autumn wind. Even if she hadn't seen Zhou Aya'er yet, she was bored at all.
"No, let her go back."
Peony was a little embarrassed, and muttered, "It's so hot outside, and Miss Zhou is only eight years old, so it's not appropriate for people to go back directly, besides, Master Hou likes Miss Zhou's ...... very much."
For the maid of Peony, Lian Sheng has thousands of dissatisfactions in her heart, after all, she is dead-eyed, she is still the hand of the Xue family, and she is not loyal to herself at all.
Grinding her teeth secretly, she held back the fire in her belly, "Since I can't call you, why don't you hurry up and invite Miss Zhou in?" Otherwise, people are delicate and expensive, what if they are sunburned by the scorching sun? โ
Hearing these words of irony, Peony shrunk her neck, secretly regretting mentioning such a stubble.
She walked quickly to the door and led the short Zhou Aya'er into the bedroom, the little girl had a sweet smile on her face, she was good-looking, and she was good at being coquettish, and she had hardly suffered much since she was a child.
Lian Sheng sat on the round stool, glanced at her from top to bottom, saw the dimples on her cheeks, and couldn't help but squint.
"Zhou Aya'er, right? When your mother and daughter come to the Hou Mansion, you have to abide by the rules of the mansion, even if it is the widow of Vice General Zhou, it is no different from others, don't put on a delicate appearance, I feel embarrassed when I look at it. โ
Even if the little girl is precocious, she is only eight years old, and she has not gone through much experience, and the smile on her face can't be maintained for a while, and she glared at Liansheng fiercely with resentment in her eyes.
"What kind of eyes are you? But think I'm not right? Uncle attaches great importance to the soldiers under his command, but there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, could it be that if something happens, the family will have to rely on it in the Hou Mansion? โ
Mama Zhao and Peony didn't expect Liansheng to say such a thing, seeing Zhou Aya'er's little face pale and tears in her eyes, that look was really distressing.
"Miss Liansheng, Aya'er and her mother just came to the Hou Mansion to live temporarily, and they don't mean to be a scoundrel."
"It's good if you don't have it, otherwise it won't be clear in the future, and my uncle won't have to suffer at that time." Lian Sheng took a sip of tea, with obvious malice in his eyes.
"Miss, say a few words." Mama Zhao couldn't stand it anymore, so she couldn't help but persuade her.
Liansheng threw it backhand with one ear scraper, and scolded in his mouth, "You dead slave is too wide, the master has to interject in whatever he says, he is really an old dog!" โ
On weekdays, Mama Zhao has been scolded by her for an unknown number of times, and she has long been accustomed to the bad temper of the young lady, but she didn't feel anything, but it was the first time that Zhou Aya'er saw such a scene, and she trembled with fright, forgetting all the things that Zhou had ordered, and she couldn't remember a word.
Things have developed to such a point, and naturally they will break up unhappily.
Peony sent Zhou Aya'er back to the side room, and when the people left, the little girl fell into her mother's arms, her tears were like beads with broken threads, and she whimpered, "Mother, that Miss Liansheng is really domineering, she dislikes her daughter in every way, and her words are also very mean, you let Uncle Hou call the shots!" โ
Reaching out and gently caressing her daughter's thin body, Zhou was angry and annoyed, and just wanted to scold angrily, but a thought came to her mind, she whispered, "Let's go to the study now, you are crying and saying that you want to go back to Luoyang, remember?" โ
Zhou Aya'er nodded, and was immediately led to the front yard by Zhou.
Not long after Chu Qinghe returned to the house, the guard at the door entered the house to report and said:
"Master Hou, Zhou's mother and daughter are outside, I want to see you."
Thinking of the brave and honest lieutenant general, Chu Qinghe couldn't help sighing, and felt a little more sympathy for the orphans and widows.
"Let her two in."
Zhou took his daughter's hand and walked forward, her skin was white, her neck was slender and slender, and the neckline of the clothes she was wearing today was a little low, revealing a piece of soft skin.
Zhou Aya'er kept crying, ran to Chu Qinghe crying, hugged the man's calf, and sobbed, "Uncle Hou, Aya'er wants to go back to Luoyang, you can send Aya'er back......"
Jian frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Zhou, and asked, "Didn't you stay good yesterday?" Why do you want to go back now? โ
Zhou pinched the brocade handkerchief in his hand, pressed the corners of his eyes, and his body trembled slightly, this appearance would be pitiful for a man, but it was a pity that Chu Qinghe had been blind for two years, and his complexion was probably different from others, and his complexion did not change in the slightest.
"Master Hou, the little woman thinks about it, it's really not good to continue to stay in the mansion to disturb you and Mrs., returning to her hometown is the best way out,"
"Nope." Chu Qinghe cut the road categorically.
"The elders of the Zhou family are extremely greedy, if you go back, you will definitely be tortured to death, if you really don't want to stay in the Hou Mansion, you just move out, it just so happens that Steward Li bought a house, and tomorrow the Hou will send someone to send you over."
Zhou was dumbfounded.
She originally wanted to pretend to be pitiful in front of Chu Qinghe, take the opportunity to meet him a few times, and cultivate feelings by the way, but she didn't think that this person was completely incomprehensible, and she didn't even ask a word about what happened, and she was going to drive their mother and daughter out of the house, what's going on?
Things are actually very simple, because Su Niang is pregnant, Chu Qinghe can't wait to hold his little wife in his mouth and hold it in the palm of his hand, naturally he doesn't want her to worry about others, so he decided to send the mother and daughter out of the house, after all, as long as they take care of it, it doesn't matter where they live.
Although the Zhou family is pitiful, they are outsiders in the end, and they can't be compared with Su Niang at all.
