At this time, seeing that he sincerely thanked Xia Qi and Xia Jin, Su Muxian felt a sour nose. When he kowtowed three times, he personally helped him up and asked, "Are the food and drinks ready?" ”

"The cold dishes have already been prepared and placed in the flower hall. Because I don't know when you will return, I didn't dare to serve the hot food. Stewed and steamed dishes can be served immediately, and hot dishes have to be stir-fried freshly, so you need to wait a while. ”

Su Muxian turned around and asked Xia Jin and Cen Ziman: "Do you want to rest and change clothes?" ”

Cen Ziman looked at Xia Jin, nodded and said, "Let's tidy it up first." ”

Su Qin asked Su Muxian: "Then the old slave will accompany the two girls to listen to Fengxuan?" ”

"Okay, let's go."

"Two girls, please." Su Qin made a gesture and took the lead in the front.

As he walked, Cen Ziman explained to Xia Jin: "When my cousin took over this waiting house, it was almost an empty house. Not only his belongings, but also his subordinates were taken away by his mother and younger brother. These fields, shops, and several houses in Beijing, and the title deeds and house deeds are also missing. It was still the Queen Mother who decreed that those were abolished, so that Fu Yin re-opened a new one for his cousin, and gave him some property, so he had property under his name. As for these subordinates, they were all bought back by Su Qin later. The house is too big, and there are few owners, my cousin is troublesome, and secondly, he feels sorry for Su Qin's old age, and he has to worry about a lot of things, so he only bought a dozen subordinates. The empty yards were locked. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled and whispered, "Didn't you notice? There are only two male servants in this house, and there are not even a maid. ”

Xia Jin had already found out. All the people I met along the way were male servants. It stands to reason that she and Cen Ziman are female guests, and if they have a housekeeper mother or maid, they should follow Su Qin to welcome guests so that they can entertain them. Like now. The matter of leading them to the inner courtyard to change clothes should be the work of the maid and mother-in-law, but now it is Su Qin, the big housekeeper, who is doing it.

"Why is that?" She asked curiously.

"Hmph, why else?" Cen Ziman snorted lightly, "My cousin became a waiting master at a young age, he is handsome, and there is no hostess in the mansion. Those maids. All of them are restless. used all kinds of means, and wanted to be the aunt of Anwu Anhoufu. It would be even better if I could rob Mr. of his eldest son. At first, Steward Su bought some maids. As a result, there were several incidents of maids climbing into bed, and one of them even drugged my cousin. In a fit of rage, my cousin threw them all out. Therefore, this Wu'an Houfu has almost become a monk's temple now. ”

Xia Jin was speechless, very curious. I don't know if those maids succeeded.

Thinking of An Yishan, the county lord of Jianing, Xia Jin coughed lightly: "Your cousin." It's really a lot of disasters. ”

"So in his house, he lacks a hostess to help him take care of it." Cen Ziman said with a grin.

Xia Jinbai glanced at her, and was about to speak, but saw a manservant running over panting. said to Su Qin: "Old, old housekeeper, the county lord of Jianing is here again." ”

Everyone stopped.

Su Qin frowned and said, "Didn't you tell her that Hou Ye didn't come back?" ”

"Said, said. She slapped me twice and said I was talking nonsense. Her subordinates obviously saw that Hou Ye had returned home, and ...... "He glanced at Cen Ziman and Xia Jin. "I also brought Miss Cen back."

Xia Jin and Cen Ziman glanced at each other.

It seems that the county lord of Najianing is very obsessed with Su Muxian, and specially sent his subordinates to guard him in front of the Wu'an Houfu.

Cen Ziman asked Su Qin curiously: "Does the county lord of Jianing come over often?" ”

Su Qin smiled bitterly: "So usually, the master doesn't go through the main gate, and comes in directly over the wall." ”

“……”

Xia Jin was amazed. There are Zhu Xinlan and Li Yuyuan in Linjiang, and there is the lord of Jianing in the capital. Whoever wants to tell her that ancient women were subtle ladies, she had to fool him with mapo tofu.

"It seems that this meal will not be eaten." She sighed. With the combat effectiveness of the county lord of Jianing, the gatekeepers will definitely be defeated, and they will be defeated in two blows. They wanted to eat this meal in peace, it was a dream.

"Oops, I'll take a look." Su Qin walked out helplessly.

He knew it was useless for him to go. But Hou Ye finally wanted to entertain friends in the mansion, but he disturbed a woman, and his old housekeeper was too derelict in his duties, wasn't he?

But before he could take a few steps, a woman's crisp voice came from a distance: "Su Muxian, Su Muxian, you come out for me." If I hide any longer, I'll set fire to the house, and I'll do what I say! ”

Su Qin quickened his pace.

Cen Ziman is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he likes to watch the excitement the most. She didn't think that she had withdrawn from Peng Yuzhang, and she didn't have time to engage Xia Qi, but now she is a thorn in An Yishan's side and an imaginary enemy. She dragged Xia Jin and ran over there: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

Xia Jin also wanted to see how Su Muxian would deal with the unreasonable An Yishan, so he followed Cen Ziman along the river.

In a few moments, they were behind the bushes near the second gate. Looking through the cracks in the trees, the two gatekeepers had red palm prints on their faces, apparently being beaten. Rao is like this, and the two of them also dutifully persuaded An Yishan. It's just that An Yishan didn't pay attention to them at all, and went straight inside. There is a difference between men and women, and the two subordinates didn't dare to step forward to stop her at all, so they had to walk and retreat.

"Su Muxian, you come out for me. What kind of ability is it to be a turtle with a shrunken head all day long? Are you still afraid that I will not be able to eat you? You're still not a man? Coward! An Yishan scolded loudly again.

If it was in normal times, Su Muxian might have really hidden, ran out of the wall, found a separate courtyard to stay, and didn't bother to pay attention to this woman. What kind of "shrunken turtle bastard", she scolded her, so as not to get into more trouble.

But today the Xia family brothers and sisters and Cen Ziman are here. It doesn't matter if he runs away by himself, even Xia Jin and Xia Qi have to run away with the gray, but it won't work.

So as soon as An Yishan's words fell, his voice came from a tall tree: "An Yishan, how thick are you skinned?" Men in this world are dead, aren't they? Why do you have to pester me? I've told you a hundred times that no one I will marry you. ”

Xia Jin looked strange and asked Cen Ziman quietly: "Why did he run to the tree to talk?" ”

Cen Ziman covered his mouth and smiled: "I'm afraid that An Yishan will pounce on her, and then rely on him to have a skin-to-skin relationship with her." ”

"......," Xia Jin sighed, "poor baby." ”

"I've never seen anyone as unconscionable as you!" An Yishan said angrily, "When you just returned to Beijing, you were chased and killed. I saw that you were pitiful, so I let you hide in my carriage, and quietly took you to see the Queen Mother. Now that you have survived and attacked the knighthood, you want to turn your face and deny people. I'm telling you, there are no doors! I have a crush on you, you are mine, no one wants to snatch it, not Cen Ziman! (To be continued)
