Dongmei stepped forward and said, "Big housekeeper, Old Madam Li is coming from afar, let's go in and talk." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, old lady inside, please!" The chief butler woke up and hurried to welcome the guests.

Everyone followed the big butler inside, and many slaves looked at them curiously along the way, although they didn't point their fingers, but their expressions were not very respectful.

After all, this is the Hou Mansion, and the people who come and go are all from powerful families, and the Li family is obviously dressed like an ordinary person, which is simply too rare.

Mrs. Li straightened her back, smiled and gossiped with the big housekeeper, and walked in step by step, with no panic or envy in her expression, as if she was a guest at the neighbor's house on weekdays.

And the Li family walking behind her, including Jiayi and Liu Yang, are all well-behaved, although their faces are full of curiosity, they don't look around.

Of course, there is one exception, and that is good news.

She put her arms around Dongmei's neck, looked left and right, and her big eyes were shining when she smiled from time to time.

But a two-year-old child, if she doesn't cry or make trouble, she is already sensible, who can ask her to be like an adult.

I have to say that the Hou Mansion is really spacious and luxurious, with heavy eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, and layers of portals go down, and it takes a lot of tea to reach the main courtyard.

Because the Hou Ye was not there, and there was no hostess in the Hou Mansion, the big housekeeper welcomed everyone to the Xiaohua Hall for tea.

The maids sent tea and all kinds of snacks like flowing water, and everyone in the Li family picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, but they didn't move the snacks, let alone show any coveted appearance.

This made the two maids guarding the door very surprised, the two of them squeezed each other's eyebrows, and when they looked up, they saw the big housekeeper look coldly, and the two were so frightened that they immediately retreated.

The big butler stepped forward in person, pushed the dim sum plate to Jiayin's hand, and greeted.

"All the way like this, the little lady is afraid that she is hungry, so let's eat snacks to cushion her stomach first. These snacks were also brought to Miss Xiao by Master Hou before, and he said that Miss Xiao loves to eat. ”

Jiayin looked at the old lady, and when she saw the old lady smiling and nodding, she took a piece and thanked her with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Housekeeper." ”

"Hey, little lady is polite." The butler was even happier when he was called by an uncle.

Li Lao Er was worried about the rumors, so he opened his mouth to ask.

The chief housekeeper hurriedly responded, "I also just received the news that those women were arrested by the emperor, but what happened to the specific situation has already been inquired about, and I think I will send the news back soon." ”

Did the emperor intervene?

Everyone was happy, although Hou Ye was not in Xindu, there were still people to protect him.

The big housekeeper is also able to speak well, and he knows that the Hou Ye treats the Li family differently, so he talks with the Li family around the valley business and the harvest in the fields.

Jiayin came to the city with a small goal, and she saw that there was nothing to do for the time being, so she pulled Dongmei's sleeve.

Dongmei understood, and took advantage of everyone's conversation to say, "I'll take the little lady to the garden for a walk." ”

The big housekeeper hurriedly said: "I was negligent and forgot about this, the little lady is young, I'm afraid I can't sit still." ”

Mrs. Li said with a smile, "Children are naughty, and they are used to being at home, but they are causing trouble for the big housekeeper." ”

After a few polite words, Dongmei walked out of the main courtyard with Jiayin in her arms and went straight to the back of the Hou Mansion.

It wasn't until she walked to a small courtyard near the back gate of the Hou Mansion that she stopped, took out a key from her arms, and opened the copper lock on the courtyard door.

"Miss, this is the yard where I and Ye Shan live on weekdays, because it has always been on the Zhuangzi side, so this place will be locked, and no one will come. It's also relatively close to the back door......"

Dongmei lowered her voice and explained a few words briefly.

Jiayin jumped off the ground and carefully pushed open the door, Dongmei subconsciously turned around and looked around, worried that someone was walking nearby.

But before she could take a look, Jiayin pulled the placket of her clothes, "Let's go back!" ”

Dongmei was surprised, bent down and hugged Jiayin, and then looked at the closed courtyard door, her face full of confusion.

Jiayin said a few words in her ear, Dongmei nodded, quickly stepped forward and locked the door, and then took Jiayin to the garden.

There are rockeries in the garden, all kinds of flowers and trees, small lakes and pavilions, and the construction is very exquisite and elegant.

But Jiayin was worried about his family, and after walking around, he went back to the main courtyard.

It just so happened that the people sent by the Hou Mansion to inquire about the news also returned.

It turned out that there was a lot of rumors in the new capital, and some people thought they had seized the opportunity and secretly sued in front of the emperor.

As a result, the emperor was furious, but he was not annoyed that Hou Ye was greedy for flowers and lustful and did not do his job, but he was annoyed that Hou Ye was slandered for no reason, so he directly sent someone to arrest Hua Ruyue and others to interrogate in front of the downtown area.

Hua Ruyue and the others didn't dare to deceive the emperor even if they ate the bear's heart and leopard guts, all small means and greed were all remnants of spring snow in the face of absolute authority, and they quickly melted and collapsed.

So, the truth was revealed, and the rumors of heroes and beauties, grievances, and hatreds were all fake.

It's just a group of greedy and stupid dancers, obsessed with the Hou Ye, trying to find a backer.

Hua Ruyue is not stupid, she has been shouting to revere the military marquis, and she is grateful to the military marquis for fighting for the country, she is so obsessed with it for a while.

As a result, she was smart again but was mistaken by being smart.

They were directly sent to the southwest border pass to "labor troops", saying that they sang and danced for the soldiers and generals who had been guarding the southwest all year round, so as to comfort their loneliness and homesickness.

But everyone knows that this is just a gentle statement, and they are destined to continue to do the leather and meat business in the future, and they are still the kind that cannot collect money......

When the Li family heard this, they couldn't say anything in their hearts.

Sympathize with Hua Ruyue and others, it's not enough, after all, they are self-inflicted.

But a group of women, this end, is really not happy.

The big housekeeper is a good person, and when he saw this, he hurriedly arranged the meal.

Mrs. Li was about to leave, "Don't be busy, big housekeeper, we're just worried about Master Hou, come over and see if we can help." Now that the matter is settled, we have gone back early. ”

The chief housekeeper still wanted to keep people, and Li Lao Er also said, "When we came, we met Mr. Wen on the way, and he was also waiting for news, so we always have to meet him and say a few words." Today, I know where the gate of the Hou Mansion is opened, and there will always be opportunities to come and go in the future, not this time. ”

The chief butler did not continue to stay, and everyone quickly left the house.

At this time, Dongmei said that there were still some things in the house, and she wanted to stay with Hayama for two days before returning to the villa.

Of course, the old lady answered, took the good news, and instructed Dongmei a few words, and then got on the mule cart.

The mule cart ran into Mr. Wen not far away, Liu Zhiheng is well-informed, Mr. Wen rushed to Liu's house, Liu Zhiheng had already got the detailed reason.

Mr. Wen no longer worried about Master Hou, simply instructed the Li family a few words, and put some snacks and food on the car, and he hurriedly left to get busy.

The Li family swayed out of the city in a mule cart, facing the sunset in the west, and slowly walked home.

Jiayin sat in her grandmother's arms and nibbled on snacks, thinking that she had completed a big event, and she was extremely happy.

Her little chubby hand held a snack, and fed it to her grandmother for a while, and then to feed her father and second uncle.

The old lady was coaxed by her granddaughter to quickly become happy, and nodded her little nose, "You, every time you go out together, do you just run for these foods?" What a gluttonous cat! ”
