Chapter 574: The Heavy Price of Victory!
Everyone stood up in shock, and Mrs. Shizi scolded her mother-in-law and scolded: "Presumptuous! Hurry up and report something, what does it look like! ”
The woman knelt down directly and replied in panic: "Miss Lian, I rushed out when I woke up from a stupor, no one can stop me, I am already out of the house at this time!" ”
"What? Lian'er, Lian'er! The second lady was weak at that time, and cried, "She must be looking for death, quickly find my Lian'er!" ”
Others also have bad faces, so they can't blame this girl for being ignorant.
At this time, she rushed out, and it was impossible to seek death.
If you really want to die, you can do it at home.
It is convenient to throw a well or hang it.
Therefore, the biggest possibility for her to go out is to go to the Zhenguo Mansion to withdraw her relatives, or find the new pavilion marquis to express her intentions, or enter the palace to find the queen's cousin to help intercede, so that the emperor can take back his will.
But no matter which one it is, it's not something she can do as a girl!
The old marquis had a dark face and ordered: "Go and get her back, at this time, don't you think the family is shameful enough?!" ”
The crowd hurriedly responded.
Mrs. Shizi still wanted to enter the palace, so the prince and the second master took the servants to find someone.
Only the second lady couldn't go out, and she couldn't enter the palace, so she could only cry non-stop, which made the old Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou more and more displeased.
The old couple only gave birth to two sons, and they were both sons-in-law.
It stands to reason that we should be brothers and sisters, and rely on each other to support each other.
But the second husband and wife always felt that their partiality as a father and mother allowed the eldest to inherit the title, and the eldest daughter's daughter also became the queen.
Therefore, the second husband and wife are looking forward to marrying their daughter to Xintinghou.
Even if she can't be as glorious as the queen, at least she is Mrs. Hou, and she will be able to sit on an equal footing with her own family in the future.
Now, the wishes of the second couple have come to naught, and I am afraid that the peaceful days of the family will come to an end......
If Zhen Guogong is here at this time, his heart will definitely be full of superiority.
He only has one son, which is also good, at least it will not cause a quarrel between the brothers......
In front of the Xinting Hou Mansion, the big butler has been looking.
A porter stepped forward and said with a smile, "Big housekeeper, you go in and have a cup of tea, Master Hou went to the wounded barracks, I'm afraid I won't come back so soon." ”
"What kind of tea?" The big butler glared and said angrily: "You don't want to think about it, the wounded barracks are all soldiers who followed Hou Ye from birth to death, and now they are either missing arms or broken legs, Hou Ye doesn't know how uncomfortable he feels."
"I can tell you, Hou Ye will serve me well when he comes back in a while, dare to block Hou Ye at this time, don't blame me for moving the board!"
"No, no!" The little guy hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, the big housekeeper, Hou Ye will come back for so many days a year, and it's too late for us to wait in a hurry, how can we block Hou Ye?!" ”
"That's pretty much it!" The chief butler was satisfied, and looked out again.
It just so happened that a carriage came over in a hurry, and his eyes lit up, thinking that it was the Hou Ye who was back, but just about to go to greet him, he found that it was not his own carriage at all.
He guessed who was coming to visit, so he thought about sending the people away, but the carriage stopped, and it was a girl in purple who jumped down.
The girl looked sixteen or seventeen years old, and her appearance was good, but her eyes were red and swollen for unknown reasons, and her hair was unkempt and slightly embarrassed.
The chief housekeeper always felt familiar, and when he wanted to ask a few words, the driver who was driving the car said first: "Girl, you haven't paid the fare yet, ten cents!" ”
The girl in purple was looking up at the plaque of the Hou Mansion, and when she heard this, she was annoyed, so she directly pulled a hairpin on her head and threw it over, "Get out of Miss Ben!" ”
The coachman took the hairpin, and after only one glance, he threw the whip and drove the car, and ran wildly without a shadow.
The corners of the big butler's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
It was a golden hairpin inlaid with rubies, not counting the materials, and the labor cost of making it alone cost ten taels of silver.
This girl was thrown directly to others, it was really ...... What a loser!
In the future, whoever marries this girl is really unlucky.
As a result, the girl looked at him for a long time, turned her head to look at him and said, "What about your lord, let him come out, I want to ask him, why don't you marry me?" ”
The big butler's feet were so weak that he almost fell down the steps!
This ruined girl actually wants to enter the Hou Mansion?!
He stabilized his mind, looked at the girl carefully again, and finally remembered that this was the concubine of the second room of the Marquis of Jiangning, the queen's cousin!
Today, the Marquis of Jiangning Mansion has just received the will to give marriage, and this girl came to make trouble, what's going on?!
If it is seen by people who don't understand, they still think that Hou Ye has a personal affair with this girl, and he will abandon it in chaos!
He complained frantically in his heart, his face was not good-looking, and he said loudly: "Miss Wu, don't be joking!" Our Hou Ye has been fighting outside, I'm afraid I don't know you, why do you say anything about marrying or not! Moreover, you have just been married today, so hurry up and go home to get married! ”
An embarrassed girl stood in front of the Hou Mansion, confronting the chief housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, this scene was definitely uncommon, and it had already attracted scattered passers-by to secretly visit.
The chief housekeeper deliberately made his words clearer, hoping that this Miss Wu family would retreat in the face of difficulties.
It's a pity that this Miss Wu doesn't appreciate it at all.
She lifted the corner of her skirt and was about to rush into the Hou Mansion, "I want to see Master Hou, why doesn't he marry me, what's wrong with me?" ”
The big housekeeper is angry, this girl can't understand people!
He hurriedly stopped, but he didn't dare to pull the girl, and he was very passive for a while.
At this time, Hou Ye finally returned.
As soon as the carriage door opened, Hou Ye jumped down first, followed by Li Lao Er.
Hou Ye frowned, and Li Lao Er also had a bad face.
The world has never seen only victory, but it does not know how much it costs behind these two words.
Going out once, even if Hou Ye had planned carefully, and even took the lead in every battle, rushing to the front, there were still casualties in the army.
Throughout the day, they visited all the wounded soldiers, recorded their names, and selected men to be sent to Broken Gold Beach.
Although this news, Hou Ye let people say it in the wounded barracks a few days ago, hoping that the wounded soldiers could kindle a little hope of survival.
However, there are still people trying to find a way to die these days.
Some were saved, others were ...... It worked.
Among these wounded soldiers, some of them have parents and family members, and they can give them more pensions, so that they can return to their hometowns to marry wives and have children, at least they have a place to rely on and a way out.
But more people don't have families, or they don't want to support one more burden.
Knowing this, they chose to end their lives with their own hands.
In their minds, it is better to die with dignity than to end up begging on the streets and rotting in a stinking ditch......
Li Lao Er was also in a heavy mood, he really wanted to pull all the wounded soldiers back to Broken Gold Beach, but it didn't work.
The livelihood of so many people must be discussed with the family.
Otherwise, even if the village is willing to raise it, these wounded soldiers are not willing to be a waste that can only eat and sleep every day!
He vaguely felt that the little niece might have a solution to this matter, and when he went home tomorrow, he would better ask the little niece first......
