Chapter 203: The Housewife

After the woman in the smoke-colored gown explained a few words to the maid, the little lotus nodded prominently and retreated, and the woman covered the door and walked back to the house quickly.

"Mrs. Tai, the little lotus is gone." As soon as I stepped into the door, I could see Mrs. Yan holding Buddhist beads in one hand and turning over the scriptures in the other, with a solemn expression, which made people dare not raise their voices to disturb. The slender fingertips peeked out from the cuffs of the dark purple cloud brocade brocade jersey, and slowly flicked the string of Buddha beads made of fifty-four black gold Bodhi strings in his hand, each of which was like a golden toad, uniform in size and bright in color. It didn't seem to hear the woman's call, her lips moved slightly, and her eyes followed the delicate and dexterous font to the end, and she said a Buddha name, which was complete.

"Did you let the little lotus root stare at it?" Mrs. Yan's eyes are narrow and long, and the slightly raised corners of her eyes make people look afraid to get close, but when she laughs, the corners of her eyes are also gentle and flying.

The woman standing in front of Mrs. Yan was her companion Lin, and her husband was an honest groom, and when he was old, he stayed in the carriage of the outer courtyard to raise horses for Yan Kaizhi. Although Lin is Mrs. Yan's companion, she doesn't often stay with her, and in her impression, Mrs. Yan either enters the palace or hides in the house alone to recite scriptures, which is inexplicably awe-inspiring.

Lin respectfully reported the letter to Mrs. Yan, looked at her eyebrows that were as light as the breeze, couldn't guess her thoughts, and asked worriedly: "Mrs. Tai, do you think Madame can do it?" ”

Mrs. Yan was a little distracted in her thoughts, "What can work?" Oh, you're afraid that she won't be able to solve the affairs of Xu Yong's family and Pang Ding's family. ”

Lin nodded seriously, "Well, after all, the lady has just passed the door, and neither side is easy to deal with." It's not that she looks down on Shaohua, it's really that the two people who are making trouble are not moving. Even if Mrs. Yan comes forward, she can only be a peacemaker, and if she wants to punish them all, I am afraid that the things involved will be even more difficult to clean up.

Mrs. Yan laughed lightly, and smiled leisurely at the Lin clan's trembling expression: "It's just not easy to deal with and let me throw it to her." Lin Shi suddenly suppressed her laughter when she heard her, and her voice became colder, "At the beginning, it was for Xu Yong's sake, and he was also considered to be an only son." If it weren't for his age, he would still be going to let him go to Kaizhi's side, and in the past few years, he would have let him go out and run around, and his heart would have run away, and I really didn't dare to touch him. ”

Lin Shi hurriedly agreed: "Mrs. Tai, you are a bodhisattva, and no one in this bastard boy is relying on his face." "Eh, why hasn't she been with her master for a year, and the change in her mood has been a few paces faster, and she can't keep up.

Mrs. Yan didn't pay attention to her perfunctory, and sneered: "Bodhisattva's heart, hehe, if it weren't for Kaizhi's need for his sake when he was running around, I would have cleaned him up a long time ago." And his daughter-in-law, I remember a year ago, she was a kind and honest person, how did she seem to have changed. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Yan turned her inquiring gaze, the Lin family was a little helpless, in the year that the masters were away, they didn't live together at all, how did they know what happened.

"Maybe I think that Pang Ding's family is a person from the General Affairs Office, and he is afraid of being suppressed, so he is bold." Lin cautiously guessed.

Afraid of being crushed? I'm afraid it's not so simple, Mrs. Yan's eyes fell on the scriptures, and suddenly became warm, "Let her practice her hands, if she can solve it, it would be the best, otherwise she has to be reminded that marrying Kaizhi is not as easy as she imagined." "Aiming at her willingness to work so hard for Kaizhi, she is also worthy of her cultivation.

Shaohua walked all the way, listening to Youhan's report all the way, her heart was blocked, and she suddenly understood why Mrs. Yan asked her to deal with it. is such a hot potato, and if she still says it's a trivial matter, she is not afraid of scalding her. On the one hand, she has a child in the family, and on the other hand, she is relying on the emperor's grace, so if it goes on like this, how can the people she brought from the Li family live. Shaohua was suddenly a little glad that he didn't agree to Mrs. Xin's words, and took Dabao, Xiaobao and Bao'er over, otherwise it would have to be a mess here.

Stepping into the servant courtyard, a group of people were surrounding and listening to the two women arguing in a screaming voice, and some people of interest saw Shaohua coming, hurriedly made his debut, and secretly hid to the side to watch.

Youhan stood up, crossed his hands on his hips, and shouted loudly: "Don't make any noise, don't you see Madame coming?" ”

The two women reluctantly closed their mouths, and a plump woman in a bright blue gown stepped forward and gave Shaohua a respectful salute: "Madame Wanfu." ”

But before Hua Qing's woman straightened her waist, the woman with red flowers on a white background next to her looked to be about thirty-five years old, she pounced over with tears on her face, beat her chest and stomped her feet, and shouted to Shaohua: "Madam, you have to be the master for me." Shaohua was almost pounced on by her, but fortunately, Youhan stood up and stood in front of her.

As soon as she heard that the other party was the first to strike, she was not to be outdone, secretly pinched her thigh, and squeezed out a few tears, "Madam, madam, I am the one who is wronged." ”

"If you are wronged, then I will be more wronged than Dou E."

"Hmph, you are allowed to take advantage of everything, and you still have the face to say that you are wronged!"

The two refused to give in to each other, ignoring Shaohua's angry face, and put on a posture of preparing to continue arguing.

Originally, Yan Kaizhi couldn't come back to accompany her early, and her mood was already low, and there were two people who were not afraid of death to provoke her irritability. Shaohua opened his throat and roared angrily: "Calm down for me!" If you really want to quarrel, give me two hours of arguing, and you won't stop for a moment. Chuhe, bring me a stool, I'll sit here and listen. ”

"Yes, ma'am." Youhan, who was so familiar with Shaohua's temperament that he couldn't be more familiar, immediately raised his voice and agreed, swept the two people who were looking at each other, and ran to move the stool with a good look of watching a good show.

I couldn't figure out the bottom of this new master, and I thought that the new daughters-in-law were all delicate, especially the ladies from the scholarly family of the Li family, who might have no idea when they were in a hurry. Who knew that Shaohua actually broke out such a sentence, and it was not for them to quarrel, nor was it for them not to quarrel.

Youhan moved a spring stool from nowhere, placed it beside Shaohua, swept it clean, and carefully helped Shaohua to sit down.

Sitting down and calming down, Shaohua looked at the two women who were more than one child in age, and said lightly: "Go on, I'm very supportive, and I came to listen to your quarrel." ”

The woman in Hua Qing's gown spoke first, she straightened her clothes, and her voice became clearer, "Madam, that's not what you say, who is willing to quarrel with someone like her." Anyway, we are people from the General Affairs Office, and we were given to the Hou Ye by the emperor, so we don't have the same knowledge as these people. As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Yong's daughter-in-law with disdain, so angry that she almost burst out again.

Shaohua deliberately raised his voice, revealing a look of sudden realization. "Oh? It turns out that you are a person from the second master. ”

Pang Ding's daughter-in-law thought that Shaohua was going to give her a long face, so she immediately moved out of her own relationship, "Yes, madam, we were originally on an errand for the General Affairs Office, and my man's godfather is ......"

But before she could finish speaking, Shaohua unceremoniously interrupted her: "Then do you know where you are now?" ”

Pang Ding's daughter-in-law was stunned, "It's in the Xingyong Marquis Mansion." ”

Shaohua showed a sweet smile that was harmless to humans and animals, making Chu He and Youhan secretly sympathize with Pang Ding's daughter-in-law, "Then who are you talking to now." ”

However, Pontin's daughter-in-law still didn't know what was going on, and replied as a matter of course: "Naturally, it's you, Madame." Hearing this, Shaohua nodded with satisfaction.

Just when she showed a happy smile, Shaohua's expression suddenly closed, her eyes were raised, and her voice was gentle but without pause, and the words pointed directly at Pang Ding's daughter-in-law, and she suddenly sweated profusely when she heard it, and she didn't dare to speak out loud. "Since you know that you are now in the Xingyong Marquis Mansion and talking to me, then you move out of the Emperor, move out of the General Affairs Mansion, move out of your godfather, what do you want to do? Is it for me to offer you up, three pillars of incense in the morning and evening? Shaohua then turned his head, "I don't care what your identity was before, I want you to remember that now this is the Marquis of Xingyong's mansion, and your master is the Marquis of Xingyong." If you are not convinced in your heart, you can come and tell me at any time, I will ask Master Hou to send you back, and you don't have to come here to be wronged. ”

"Madam, I ......" If at first it only shocked and angry her, then the rest of the words made her tremble and make her sweat.

Obviously she is just a little girl, and her speech is so sharp, but after thinking about it, everyone knows that the relationship between Marquis Xingyong and his wife is very deep, and they sing happily every night. At this time, she was the time when the new official took office, and if she was angered, she would really be sent back to the General Affairs Office by Marquis Xingyong, but I was afraid that the people above them would lose face.

Taking advantage of the fact that Pang Ding's daughter-in-law was in trouble, Shaohua turned his head and looked at Xu Yong's daughter-in-law, who was proud of the villain. Unlike with Pang Ding's daughter-in-law, she said softly, "You didn't send it from any house, did you?" ”

Xu Yong's daughter-in-law shook her head and waved her hand with a smile, and she couldn't stop her when she opened her mouth. "No, no, no, madam, I am the son of this family, my father-in-law fought with the old uncle, and died outside, it is Mrs. Tai and Master Hou who gave us dignity, and we also sincerely serve Mrs. Hou."

"It turned out to be a family." Shaohua nodded.

"Yes, yes, ma'am, we're family." Xu Yong's daughter-in-law smiled brightly, blinking flatteringly and looking at Shaohua.

Shaohua smiled slightly, looking at her eyes that seemed to have a slight expectation, so he said sweetly: "Since you are a family, you and others are arguing all over the house here, do you think I'm too boring, or do you want to make trouble for me." Xu Yong's daughter-in-law's face changed and she shook her head desperately.

"Husband, ma'am, I don't." Xu Yong's daughter-in-law secretly regretted that she shouldn't be too proud, and thought that Shaohua had beaten Pang Ding's daughter-in-law to give herself a long face, but she didn't expect her to operate on both sides together.

However, seeing that Xu Yong's daughter-in-law was also scolded by Shaohua, Pang Ding's daughter-in-law felt a little better, and couldn't help but sneer at her depressed expression.

Shaohua glanced at everyone present, each with his own thoughts, obviously mixed about Shaohua's approach. She didn't care, she breathed a sigh of relief, and fixed her eyes on everyone. "Now, who's going to tell me what you're arguing about?"

"This ......" somehow, everyone was silent, you look at me, I look at you, as if there was an agreement. And the two parties were even more ghostly, lowered their heads, and refused to speak.

"Don't say yes, do you?" Shaohua sneered in his heart, and he was really tired, "If any of you know, the first person to say it will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." ”

As soon as money was mentioned, everyone immediately began to talk about it like a pot.

"Ma'am, I know!"
