Yuan Niang returned to the mansion angrily all the way, Lan Mei was relieved to see that the master came back safely, but when she saw that the master's face was not good, she felt that it was wrong.

"Miss, is something wrong?"

Yuan Niang shook her head, "Has Madame ever been back?" ”

"Only Sister Cuizhu came back to deliver the food, I said that the young lady rested, she put down the food and went back to the restaurant"

"Well, as long as she doesn't notice anything"

Lan Mei smiled and handed over the tea, "Miss, don't worry, the business of the restaurant is so hot, Madame only lives there at night, where will she notice this, and the menu in the restaurant is all thought up by Miss, Madame wants to support Miss now, but she doesn't have a chance to support Miss, so how can she embarrass Miss." ”

Yuan Niang smiled lightly, and when she thought of the ice cube face in her heart, she only secretly cursed her bad luck, she had returned to Jiangnan, and she could still meet it, and she would have to see the days when she went out in the future.

However, the restaurant is full every day for a while, and the two cooks in the house have also been transferred to the restaurant to use, but the Xu family is stingy, and the family has no one to buy when they have money, and in the end, only Yuan Niang and Lan Mei are left in the house during the day.

However, this also happened to give Yuan Niang a chance, and Lan Mei asked excitedly when she filled the second cup of tea, "Miss, which son's son are you looking at today?" ”

"The Li family, I'll observe it for a few more days, and if it works, I'll settle on him."

Lan Mei's face turned red when she heard this, "Miss is so powerful, in the future, the slave maid will have to choose by herself." ”

"I'm not ashamed, I don't know who said a while ago that he would not marry and stay with me for the rest of his life, and it has only been a few days, and he is going to choose his own father-in-law" Yuan Niang teased her.

Lan Mei made a big red face, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, and the more she struggled to argue, the more embarrassed she became, so she could only stomp her feet and run away.

After a few days, Yuan Niang didn't leave the house, but just asked Lan Mei to secretly observe the movements of the Li family in the past few days, and so on in the evening Lan Mei reported what Li Gongzi had done during the day, Yuan Niang nodded with satisfaction, in addition to reading books, he was at home to help his parents work, and it was really difficult to find a man in ancient times.

After all, men in this era are too macho, and it is really rare to be able to deign to squat.

The days are like flowing water, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

On the other side, the Zhuo Mansion in the capital was lively, it turned out that the Hou Mansion came to propose marriage, and it was not a family matter, a mention was two family affairs, and the Hou Mansion actually wanted to marry two cousins into the Hou.

Zhuo Xiyu heard the news that Yu Yan inquired about coming back, and stood up in disbelief, "But really? ”

Yu Yan nodded, "The slave didn't dare to believe it, so she inquired about it, and it was not wrong, it was the second miss." ”

Zhuo Xiyu sat down on the chair, "How can this be?" ”

Yu Yan also didn't understand, how could the prince of the Hou Mansion meet the second lady, and it was his own young lady who wanted to marry the uncle of the prince, it turned out that the Hou Mansion also had an uncle who was not married, and it was the youngest son of Mrs. Hou Mansion, because the son of the Hou Mansion was not in good health, and he was not old enough to inherit the Hou throne, so he did not get married.

Now there are not two happy events in the Hou Mansion, and they are both cousins of the Zhuo Lord's Association, which also surprises Zhuo Mansion.

At night, Liu's mother served Dou to lie down.

"No wonder the lady of the Hou Mansion is so dedicated to that Yuan Niang, it was originally prepared for her uncle, this is not bad, although it is a concubine, but now it is also raised by the mother as a concubine, who does not know that the second master of the Hou Mansion is not in good health, how long he can live is unknown, who in the capital will be willing to marry it" Dou's eyebrows were full of smiles, "No matter what, there is always a person who can marry the prince, and the future will be the wife of the Hou Mansion, and the future of our Zhuo Mansion will naturally be less prosperous and rich." ”

Mother Liu moved her mouth, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Miss, the prince of the Hou Mansion wants to marry the second cousin girl, and the second master of the Hou Mansion is the eldest cousin girl." ”

I think it must have been Miss Bai who was too happy, so I heard it wrong.

Dou's eyes widened in shock, "What did you say?" ”

Liu's mother repeated it again, and Dou sat up again, "Is this true?" ”

Seeing Liu's mother nodding, Dou's eyes were dizzy, but fortunately she was sitting on the bed, her hand holding the edge of the bed tightly, "How is this possible?" It must be a mistake, no, tomorrow you will send someone to ask, is it a mistake, how can the prince of the Hou Mansion like a concubine. ”

Although Mother Liu couldn't bear it, she couldn't help but tell the truth, "When Mrs. Houfu came, it was faintly revealed, the prince had met the second cousin girl in private, and she liked it, otherwise she wouldn't have come to mention her relatives, as for the identity, thinking that the prince's body was not good, and no one could refute what he recognized, so he recognized it." ”

"No" Dou's hand slapped on the table fiercely, "How can such a noble status be reduced to a concubine, and you see, I will say that she is not a safe person, go to the temple, you can be fascinated by the prince of the Hou Mansion, if you marry into the Hou Mansion in the future, how can you put our Zhuo Mansion in your eyes?" ”

Mother Liu is shrewd, she can hear it, Miss is worried that Yuan Niang is not as good as Zhuo Xiyu, so she doesn't want Yuan Niang to marry the prince, otherwise what does it have to do with them if these two cousins marry into the Hou Mansion or not.

The main thing is that Zhuo Fu wants to contain them and rely on the Hou Mansion to prosper.

"No, let's go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow" Dou Shi still calmed down.

Mother Liu's words of persuasion were finally swallowed, and she didn't cry when she saw the coffin, and the young lady's temper persuaded her to be useless, so it was better to let her go in person.
