Cuiliu lives in Yangning Houfu East Road, Chen Ying has been away for many years in the past, although there are occasional minor repairs and small repairs along the way, but there has never been a big construction, and the house will naturally show its old age. In the past, in addition to Mrs. Xu and her sister-in-law Chen Ting, there were three brothers and sisters Chen Qing, Chen Han and Chen Xi who lived in the Northeast Small Cross Courtyard, and a few aunts and younger concubines lived in the Northwest Small Cross Courtyard, which was more than enough, but now Chen Ying has inherited the title of Marquis of Yangning, and with his return, there are many maids and servants in addition to Aunt Luo, so the residence is naturally a little crowded.

Because of this, the people below don't know how many times they have discussed when they will be able to move to the Houfu Houtang Qingxi Residence on the middle road. But the momentum of such prosperity and development of the third room could not make Mrs. Xu happy. Especially when her husband came to her house last night, the words he said to her made her really feel an indescribable panic, so early in the morning she asked Wu's mother to release the news that she was sick, and she never moved her nest in bed all morning, and in the end she really held back her heart palpitations and dizziness.

"Madam, you only drank a small half bowl of porridge in the morning, no matter what happened, you can't even miss the meal."

Mother Wu persuaded on the side, but seeing that Mrs. Xu's face was gloomy and her eyes were dull, she had to go out ruthlessly and hugged Chen Ting, who was playing in the courtyard outside. Chen Ting, who was only four years old, threw herself into Mrs. Xu's arms, shouted happily at her mother, and laughed that she could kick the shuttlecock. This finally alarmed Mu Ran's Mrs. Xu, she suddenly took the child in her arms, and tears fell from her eyes. Seeing this situation, Wu's mother finally let out a breath of air, and when she raised her hand to wipe her tears, she only heard the voice of a girl outside.

"Madam, the third lady is here!"

Mrs. Xu, who was holding Chen Ting, was stunned for a moment, and then thought of what Chen Lan said to herself last night, and her face showed a hesitant and embarrassed expression for a while. And Mother Wu naturally heard the song and knew the elegance, went out of the West House to the outside door to open the curtain a crack, and reprimanded the girl angrily: "Madame can't even eat anything in the morning, that Imperial Doctor Lu has just seen that Mrs. recuperate, let the third lady come, you also stop it first, otherwise after the illness, the family is sick one by one, what can I do?" ”

The girl saw that although the lamp was lit inside, it was still gray, and Wu's mother had a straight face, and she was suddenly a little panicked, but thinking about what Chen Lan said when she was passing it on at the door, she was busy and courageous.

"Mother Wu, it's not that I can't pull my face to stop people, it's really the third lady who said...... The third lady said that there was news from Quang Ninh Bo Mansion. ”

Hearing that it was the Guangning Bofu who brought the letter, Mother Wu couldn't help but turn her head to look, and saw that she couldn't see anything except the low-hanging curtain of the West House, so she sighed in her heart, simply stepped out of the threshold, and said with a calm face: "In this case, you can take me there first." ”

Mrs. Xu's usual living room is not in these three main rooms, but in the two ear rooms on the west side, and Chen Lan is waiting there at this time. Although the tea had been delivered earlier, she had no intention of moving it, and only thought about the news of Guang Ningbo's sudden death. Mrs. Xu is from Guangningbo's stepfamily, and there are many brothers and sisters, and now that Guangningbo is gone, the house is the son of the family, and the father and daughter and the brothers and sisters of different mothers are close and sparse, which can be understood with the toes. It can be said that this news is far more serious for Mrs. Xu than Zhu's illness and inability to speak, because the biggest backer of a woman who marries in this year is her mother's family.

"Third Miss." Mother Wu sorted out her mood before entering the door, and after stepping forward to salute at this time, she couldn't help but bring a smile on her face, "I'm really sorry, Madame fell ill in the second half of the night yesterday, and now she can't eat and sleep well, and she can't see people at all, so ......"

"I also know that the third aunt is sick, and she shouldn't have come over to disturb her, but it's really a big deal." Chen Lan nodded with a solemn face, and then said word by word, "It's a mother from Guangning Bofu who came outside...... Quang Ninh Bo died. ”

Although Wu's mother already had some bad premonitions in her heart, when she heard the last five words, she still felt that the world was spinning, and she unconsciously took two steps back and stumbled again, almost falling to the ground. Knowing that Chen Lan couldn't joke about such a big thing, she couldn't help but settle down and said, "Third Miss, where is that mother?" ”

"Just wait outside the hall."

Seeing that Mother Wu nodded, but stumbled out without caring about anything else, Chen Lan couldn't help but sigh deeply. In this Hou Mansion, Mrs. Xu seems to be a stable Mrs. Yangning Hou, but what she really has is a son who is only four years old, and the Zhu family, who is not bad, is already seriously ill, and the Guangning Bo Mansion of her mother's family is in a deep quagmire. Moreover, Mrs. Xu has always been taciturn, occasionally using small means such as moving the concubine to the outer courtyard, but at other times she has little sense of existence.

If Mrs. Xu can't help but have something wrong with this blow, this family will really be covered by Chen Ying!

After a while, Mother Wu came in with a middle-aged woman with a filial piety belt around her waist, and her eyes were already red. She sent the girls away when she entered the house, and then glanced at the red snail behind Chen Lan, and then suddenly stepped forward and knelt down. Seeing that Chen Lan was busy asking Hongluo to step forward to help her, she insisted on knocking her head three times in a row.

"Third Miss, this news is too inopportune, the little one really can't do it, please help me solve the problem later...... Madame hardly slept last night, and only drank half a bowl of porridge at dawn, but refused to eat lunch anyway, and saw that her spirit was getting worse and worse, if I heard of this again......"

Seeing that Wu's mother was already in tears when she was talking, Chen Lan was full of compassion. The red snail dragged the person up, and then glanced at the mother of Guangning Bofu who was standing with her hands down and her face full of sorrow, and she nodded lightly.

Mother Wu took Chen Lan and the mother who came to report the news from Guangning Bofu into the main house, and the little girl in the side looked around for a while, and quickly slipped to the back room.

It was already afternoon at this time, and Chen Xi, who had gone to the Water Mirror Hall to take care of housework with Mrs. Ma, had already turned around and was talking with Aunt Luo in the east room. Due to the sudden scandal in the Jin Palace, Chen Ying's previous arrangements naturally couldn't keep up with the changes, so Chen Ying rested in Aunt Luo's house last night, and the two finally tore apart the knot in their hearts, and Aunt Luo was full of smiles at this time.

"Xi'er, let's not worry about it this time, your father has a change of heart, and he will naturally work that family business, and I will also try to do a good job for you, and I will always fulfill your pair of golden boys." Even if this family business fails, with your father's current official position and power, you can find other people who are right. All in all, the old lady above has a few breaths left, and our good days are ahead. ”

Although these words should have sounded overjoyed, but a few days ago, he was confined to the house, and even his biological mother was difficult to visit, sitting day and night, thinking about those past things over and over again, Chen Xi not only lost a lot of weight, but his mood was completely different from before. At this moment, she just smiled faintly.

"But it's up to your father and you to arrange it."

After all, Aunt Luo hadn't been with her children for many years, so she didn't notice anything wrong with Chen Xi's expression, and immediately laughed and said something else. When the parrot came in and whispered a few words, she was surprised for a while, and then waved her hand lightly and sent people away, and when the parrot went out, she grabbed Chen Xi's hand.

"Quang Ninh Bo is dead! First the old lady was seriously ill, and then Guangning Bo died, this time she really had no backer! ”

Seeing Aunt Luo's overjoyed expression, Chen Xi remembered that in the years when she was left in this deep mansion compound by her parents, Mrs. Xu was always indifferent, and she had made a few small trips, but now she was losing her strengths and weaknesses, and she should be happy in her heart, but she didn't know what it was like. Her girls are all matched to the old lady, and now although she is carefully selected by Aunt Luo, she has no feelings after all, although her father has won a big victory now, but if it weren't for the sudden accident in the Jin Palace, even if she was unwilling and reluctant, wouldn't she still want to marry her?

No matter what kind of woman she is born in, in today's world, it is difficult to even protect herself, let alone others?

Like the rest of the princes and nobles, the main gate of the Yangning Marquis Mansion has never been easy to open, and only when there are angels in the palace or other princes officially visit the house, the doors of these three rooms and five crosses will be opened to welcome guests. Therefore, the gatekeeper at the main entrance is naturally extremely idle, but they are also the façade of the Hou Mansion, and in addition to the eight sets of clothes throughout the year, this money and food are also passable. They can only stand and can't be lazy all day long, and it is inevitable to whisper and chat and knock their teeth.

The same is true at this point. They are not the gatehouse in charge of people entering and exiting at the east and west corner gates, and they have to talk about the old lady's illness and the fact that no one in the house is strictly forbidden to go out on the east and west corner doors, and the news outside has also stopped this matter several times, and at the end of the day, they have to shake their heads and sigh twice. Just as they were spitting and flying wildly, a sharp-eyed man suddenly saw a group of people over there turning from the high Chonghe Fang on the east side of Yangning Street, and hurriedly shouted: "Be quiet, look over there, someone is coming!" ”

The other people hurriedly closed their mouths and looked over, and when the group got closer, someone immediately saw the green sedan chair in the middle, and immediately put on a solemn appearance. When the sedan chair stopped at the door, the sedan chair driver opened the sedan curtain again, and they all stretched their necks, but they could see that the people who came out of it looked at each other.

It turned out to be a middle-aged lady dressed in red...... But it seems that I haven't seen it much?

However, when the first two horsemen on horseback trotted up a few steps and got off the horse, someone in several porters finally recognized one of them as Yang Jinzhou, the commander of Tiancewei, and the other looked like a palace official, and immediately gasped. And the leading porter saluted neatly when he arrived, and was about to say a few words with a smile on his face, when the middle-aged eunuch who was wearing a crown of gold and black thread and a crown of Atlantic pearls and a straight body of Yuan Qing interrupted him indifferently.

"Qu Yong, the eunuch of our family, was ordered to accompany the county lord of Yixing to visit Mrs. Marquis of Yangning!"
