Next Chapter

The third day of the second month of the 21st year of Wanli in the Dachang Kingdom

Early in the morning, when the first rays of morning light through the mist, Dingyuan Hou Mansion ushered in another warm morning, at this time, everything in the Hou Mansion is still shrouded in soft morning light, the willow tree in the courtyard hangs its head, softly accepts the morning light shower, the tall poplar tree is like a strong young man stretching his arms, and the grass reveals a bit of faint green from the wet.

Watering flowers, sweeping the floor, plastering, pruning and loosening the soil, the family members of the Hou Mansion dare not be lazy for a moment, what a beautiful and peaceful morning.

In the restaurant, the large round table is full of a table full of rich and delicious breakfast, a wide variety of but suitable for breakfast some relatively light food, steamed eggs, meat buns, wife cakes, fried vegetables, mixed bamboo shoots, green vegetable porridge, millet porridge and so on.

Seven ladies dressed in brocade clothes sat quietly around the table, judging from their age, they should all be concubines of the Hou Mansion, their oldest looks like they are in their early forties, and the youngest is about thirty, but the color of the clothes is really gorgeous, comparable to the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple seven fairies, but the age and appearance of these seven fairies are uh............

The seven people looked at each other and all kinds of emojis went into battle at the same time, and it is not difficult to see that these women are all different from the outside, and their faces and hearts do not match.

The eldest lady's maid Mei'er hurriedly ran in from outside the door: "Coming, coming......"

Hearing this, the "Seven Fairies" immediately stood up and rushed to the door, with a flower-like smile on their faces, and they all looked like good wives and mothers.

A woman in her twenties walked slowly from the courtyard with a ring, the woman was wearing a goose-yellow silk flower pleated skirt, holding a white ribbon with both hands and dragging along the road, with long black hair in a bun on her head, and a hairpin with a tassel bead flower on the bun, and the tassel swayed with her steps while walking. White and pure face, soft and fine skin, slender and picturesque eyebrows, eyes flashing like stars, two pink thin lips under the petite nose bridge, the corners of the mouth slightly curved upward, with a little disdainful smile, the whole face is delicate and beautiful, very beautiful and refined. She is Song Lingxi, the pearl of the Hou Mansion, Song Lingxi's beauty is not only the so-called tiger father and no dog girl, but there are few men in the camp in her fist and foot kung fu camp, all of which come from her father who was born as a general.

has good looks, talent, and a grandfather Hou who holds a heavy army, why do you say such a stunning beauty is single? In Dachang country, women generally marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and when they are seventeen or eighteen years old, they are leftovers, this twenty-year-old Miss Houfu can really be described as a golden leftover woman, and women generally have not yet come out of the cabinet at this age, so there are only two possibilities: one is a bad temper, the other is that the vision is too high, sorry that our Lingxi Xiao just occupies both, the door is not the right household, the martial arts are not as good as her, the martial arts are not as good as her, the rich and unmarried, the appearance is not good, the appearance is not good, the family has a wife and concubine do not marry, and those who want to marry again after marriage resolutely do not marry. Why? Because she grew up in the quarrels of the women of the Hou Mansion since she was a child, she did everything to compete for the favor of these women, and a set of stabbing things in the back was staged in the Hou Mansion every day, she didn't want the rest of her life to become like these boring women, so she became a twenty-year-old girl after delaying it again and again.

As soon as Song Lingxi entered the door, the "Seven Fairies" rushed up and pulled her into the upper seat with all kinds of praise and all kinds of gestures, and the impatient Song Lingxi held his head with both hands: "Okay, you sit down and eat, you don't have to wait for me in the future"

The youngest Banniang pursed her lips and smiled: "How is it possible, how can we do it if we don't wait for you for one daughter, come here and this is the cold spring shoots made by Banniang for you, which is particularly delicious."

"This is the chicken bun made by Sanniang for you, it's delicious, not greasy and doesn't gain weight"

"This is the crab roe steamed egg made by Siniang for you, the crab is a fat and big wild river crab picked by Siniang herself"

"This is the cold tofu made by Wu Niang for you, smooth and tender, and it is good for the skin when eaten"

"This is the cod millet porridge that Liuniang made for you, it's fragrant, Liuniang got up to boil the porridge before dawn"

"This is a crispy spring roll made by Qi Niang for you, which is the most suitable for spring to eat"

Erniang said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, Xi'er, Erniang didn't make anything delicious for you, I see that everyone has prepared so much, so I made some green vegetable porridge."

You have chopsticks and a spoonful, Song Lingxi has piled three bowls in front of her, and she who has been drooping her head to watch the performance suddenly stood up and shouted: "Stop, you treat me like a pig, can I eat so much, isn't it because my father is coming back today that you all want to sleep at night?" As for this? My father doesn't eat well and sleep well every day in the military camp, and he has to face your group of people when he comes back, I really don't know what kind of sin this is, Erniang's massage skills are good, and Erniang will sleep tonight."

Wu Niang said: "You can't do this, Lingxi, the last time I went to the fourth sister, Hou Ye left, Hou Ye had a rare time to come back, how could he be the second sister this time"

"Since you have chosen to be a concubine in the Hou Mansion and live a life of fine clothes and food, you must learn to keep the empty house alone, God is fair, your life has what others can't get, you will lose some of what others have, you eat, I won't eat"

After speaking, Song Lingxi left the restaurant with her maid Peony: "Peony go get me some food and bring it to the room."

"Miss, why don't you eat in the dining room, there are so many delicious things in the dining room"

"I can't eat them when I look at them, they eat and wear all the food and clothes given by my father, and it's the best, they don't care about my father's body at all except for the favor or the favor"

"Miss, the life of a big family is like this, but I think Erniang is not bad"

"Yes, only Erniang is a little better, I will kill me in the future, and I will never marry the family of the three wives and four concubines, and I will rob a man with a lot of women all day long unless I am crazy"

Before then, Song Yi, Marquis of Dingyuan, and General Huwei sent Zhiyuan to ride a high-headed horse with a small team of escorts back to the Marquis of Luoyang.

Song Lingxi led the whole house to wait at the door early in the morning, and Song Yi turned the corner of the street and Song Lingxi rushed up: "Dad...... Brother"

Song Yi jumped off the horse and picked up her daughter and took a turn: "My daughter is beautiful again, and my father is almost unrecognizable"

"Daddy, you're making fun of your daughter again"

Song Zhiyuan jumped off the horse: "My sister really understands people, and she knows that your father is making fun of you."

"Brother Hates"

Song Yi pulled Song Lingxi up and asked, "Our little housekeeper told Daddy, what has happened in the house in the past few months?" ”

"Where can you, Dad, you don't look at who is in charge, by the way, Dad, how long will you come back to live this time?"

Song Zhiyuan arrived: "Gonggong Li, who was sent by the imperial court to announce the decree, has been staying at the post station for a day, and my father and I have made a special trip back to listen to the decree."

"What is it?"

"I don't know, I don't know if there is a war at the border, so we may leave at any time."
