Chapter 262, mung bean soup
Yu Ruiwen grimaced and looked at Mama Yu coldly.
"Master Hou, although our lord was not a squire at the beginning, but he also had an official position, Mrs. Hou was the only concubine in our house, and she had already set up a family affair to prepare for marriage, because the elders of the other party's family passed away, and she kept filial piety for three years, which delayed Mrs. Hou, and when the three years of filial piety were completed, the other party came over to prepare to decide the marriage date, but I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Ning."
Mama Yu sighed: "After that, the other party said that he wanted to quit this family business, saying that he wanted to marry Ning, our wife was furious, and Ning knelt in front of our lady and begged bitterly, saying that it was not her intention, she didn't know anything, but in fact, our lady checked later, and when the other party came over, Mrs. Ning always appeared in the courtyard for various reasons." ”
"What happened back then, in the end, our wife forgave her for the sake of Mrs. Ning's mother, but she also drove her back, but she didn't say anything to Mrs. Hou, for fear that Mrs. Hou would know that she would be embarrassed and angry, and the family affairs of the two families would naturally stop, and then Mrs. Hou met Master Hou."
Before coming, the old lady instructed her to tell Yu Ruiwen about this "past".
"The Ning family used to do this to the Qian family?" Yu Ruiwen couldn't believe it, his eyebrows were knotted, but his tone was a little softer.
"Master Hou doesn't believe in the old slave, don't you still believe in our old lady, after so many years, how the old lady has treated you, you also see it in your eyes."
Mama Yu knew that it had an effect, reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said angrily: "If the old lady knew about Mrs. Ning, she would have set a trap and harmed Mrs. Hou, and she would never have let her go once." ”
Yu Ruiwen was silent, Mrs. Yu's personality, he did believe it, but this one was too mysterious, why didn't he believe it so much!
"Master Hou......" Mama Yu saw him like this, and said again.
Yu Ruiwen shook his hand: "You go down first, I'll think about it." ”
"Master Hou, what about Mrs. Ning's mother-in-law?" Mama Yu asked cautiously, this matter caught Mrs. Xiao off guard, but when she said this at the time, she wouldn't believe it if she wanted to say anything about Xuan Pinghou.
"Let's stay first!" Yu Ruiwen's eyes were gloomy.
"Then the old slave will go back and report to the old lady first?" Mama Yu asked tentatively.
"If this matter is really done by the Ning family, I will withdraw the mother-in-law who is guarding Mingyue Xiaozhu, but the Qian family ...... It won't be released for the time being. Yu Ruiwen said slowly, even if he believed in Mrs. Qian, it was really difficult to believe the Qian family, was the Qian family really so innocent in this matter?
"Don't worry, Master Hou, our old lady will understand, even if Mrs. Hou is framed, her ears are soft, and she doesn't distinguish between good people and bad people, what our old lady means, even if Master Hou doesn't punish Mrs. Hou, our old lady will be punished." Mama Yu hurriedly expressed her position, not only did she not say that Yu Ruiwen was not at all, but also showed that Mrs. Qian was on his side.
Yu Ruiwen's expression softened a little: "Thank you for your understanding, old lady." ”
"What does the family say, it is also our old lady who has always protected Mrs. Hou, so she has been raised with such a character who does not know good and evil, and only relies on her own preferences."
Mama Yu said busily, with a smile on her face.
These words moved Yu Ruiwen more than Fang Cai's words, Qian is really not evil, just because he does things according to his own preferences?
Yu Ruiwen was silent, and only said after a while: "The Qian family is grounded, and the affairs in the house are less for the housemother to deal with, I have already reported to my mother, and helped Aunt Zhou to come to the wife to deal with the affairs of the inner courtyard of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." ”
Now that we've said that, it's just the right thing to say.
Mama Yu's body shook, she almost didn't believe her ears, and her smile stiffened on her face: "Hou ...... Master Hou, you ...... What do you say? ”
She didn't know about it yet.
"The Xuanping Marquis Mansion can't be without the housewife, Aunt Zhou is very good, and she is from a good family, so she will help her as a flat wife and come forward to deal with the affairs of her relatives for me." Yu Ruiwen said, what Mama Yu said was all over the place, and he would still be able to maintain a bit of clarity.
Mama Yu lost her color, and wanted to say something, but she saw Yu Ruiwen waving her hand tiredly: "Mama Yu will go back first, and I will talk about this matter when I inquire clearly." ”
Mama Yu wanted to say something, but saw Yu Ruiwen's eyes closed and leaned back.
Not daring to explain any more, Mama Yu retreated from the study, and saw Mama Xiao who was kneeling in front of the study at the door, settled down and walked over.
"Mama Xiao, you know, our old lady is the most kind, it is your Mrs. Ning who is ungrateful, otherwise why would it be like this! With our old lady here, even if you Mrs. Ning are going back on your word...... It's useless too. Mama Yu stood with the little girl on her back, bent down slightly, and the gaze that fell on Mama Xiao became cold.
Sen Sen's fell on Mama Xiao's body, and Mama Xiao shivered smartly.
A long-ago scene appeared in Mama Xiao's eyes, at that time the Ning family was not married, basically lived in the Qian Mansion, the Qian family made a mistake, the Ning family was punished to kneel, Xiao Mama was scolded by Mama Yu, after being beaten at that time, stepping on the blood on the ground, Mama Yu spoke to Mama Xiao like this.
Mama Xiao's whole body stiffened.
Mama Yu smiled gloomily, straightened up, and hurriedly walked out, forgiving Mrs. Xiao didn't dare to retort, and even if she did, Master Hou would not be able to listen.
The old lady didn't want to put the Ning family to death, no matter how bad the Hou Ye was, it was impossible to ignore the face of the Yu family, and really publicize the matter, at most, she cut off contact with the Marquis Mansion of Zhengyuan, and she was in a hurry, even if she offended Mrs. Ning, it didn't matter, she rescued Mrs. Hou first.
Xuan Pinghou's reaction was unexpected by the old lady, she actually wanted to help her aunt as her flat wife, so she had to go back quickly and let the old lady think about it......
In the study, Yu Ruiwen frowned and was silent for a long time.
This is strange, he thought that the Qian family did it before, but now he is a little hesitant to say it, isn't it really the Ning family who bewitched the Qian family?
However, even if it was really the Ning clan who bewitched the Qian clan, the Qian clan could not be completely innocent.
To believe or not to believe? It's very ...... tangled
A sudden sound came from the door, breaking the peace in the study.
Yu Ruiwen opened his eyes and looked at the door.
"Master Hou, the kitchen sent pastries." At the door, the little maid carried a food basket in his hand and put it on the ground, and gave a salute first.
"How do you bring pastries?" Yu Ruiwen stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and asked.
"Master Hou forgot, you said before that you didn't have much appetite for dinner and didn't really want to eat it, so Aunt Zhou asked the kitchen to send you some cold cakes, and you agreed at the time." The little guy said.
This was still said by Aunt Zhou, Yu Ruiwen was in an upset mood, he had long forgotten it, and he remembered it only after listening to what the little girl said, and looked up at the window, the sun outside the window had fallen.
"Take it!" Yu Ruiwen didn't have much spirit.
The little girl came over, took out the cold cake in the food basket, and took out a bowl of mung bean soup and placed it in front of Yu Ruiwen: "Master Hou, this mung bean soup is boiled in the kitchen for the third girl, I heard that Master Hou has no appetite, and the third girl specially asked the kitchen to bring the mung bean soup to you first." ”
Thinking of his little daughter, Yu Ruiwen showed a smile on his face: "This child, she is a girl who loves sweet soup, but I don't like it." ”
"Master Hou, it's not sweet." The little guy said busily.
"How can sweet soup not be sweet!" Yu Ruiwen picked up the soup spoon and scooped it gently, although he didn't like it very much, but his little daughter's heart couldn't be disappointed.
Taste it gently, it's really not that sweet, I don't feel much sweetness, but I feel that there is also a hint of sweetness, and the rich sweetness of the past, this mung bean soup is actually very delicious.
"Oh, that's good." Yu Ruiwen took a few sips in a row, and the lukewarm taste was just right, which was more palatable than before.
"The mother-in-law who sent it from the kitchen said, I heard that the Hou Ye had no appetite, so the three girls adjusted the taste for the Hou Ye, and let the mother-in-law bring it after it was cold, I heard that this mung bean was brought by the three girls from Jiangnan, which is a little different from the capital, the taste is better, and the three girls are not much." The little guy laughed.
"Jiao'er didn't drink it herself?" Yu Ruiwen looked at the soup can on the table, it looked not small, at least two or three bowls could be poured out.
"The third girl is afraid that you won't drink enough, so let someone bring it to you." The little guy said.
Yu Ruiwen took another sip, sighed in his heart, drank all the mung bean soup in the bowl with the last sip, and decisively put down the bowl and stood up: "Let's go"
He is very entangled in this matter now, it is better to talk to his little daughter, maybe there is a good solution, in this matter, the most unrelated is the little daughter.
"Master Hou, where are you going?" The little guy was stunned.
"Take the mung bean soup with you and go to Yaoshui Pavilion." Yu Ruiwen commanded, strode out, walked outside, looked at Mrs. Xiao who was kneeling in front of the door, and said coldly: "Escort people into the firewood room first." ”
The little guy hurriedly packed up the soup cans, lifted the food basket and trotted to catch up with Yu Ruiwen.
Hearing that Yu Ruiwen was coming, Yu Xijiao smiled, she heard that Mama Yu went back, leaving behind a captured Mama Xiao, who is still at her father's place.
The dog-eat-dog scene came quickly!
However, this also made Yu Xijiao vigilant, Old Madam Qian was more powerful than she imagined, and it was only a long time, and she immediately brought the people of the Ning family to her father.
Some things, whether they are said by the people of the Qian Mansion or by the people of the Qian family, are not as valuable as the people of the Ning family, so the intimate mother-in-law around the Ning family was sent to the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
Regardless of whether this matter was temporarily postponed or they had other countermeasures, since this matter had already poked their heads out, she would not allow them to simply slide over.
ruined all of Ning's expectations......
"Father!" Looking at Yu Ruiwen who came in, Yu Xi bowed.
Yu Ruiwen sat down and nodded, and asked the little servant to bring the food basket over: "Since you like to drink, you can drink it yourself, and it doesn't matter if you drink it for your father or not." ”
"I heard that my father has a bad appetite and doesn't want to eat, so my daughter thinks about mung bean soup to clear the heat and relieve the heat, and the taste is also excellent, knowing that my father doesn't like to drink too sweet, my daughter deliberately adjusted it lighter, and the mung beans brought by Jiangnan were very good for my grandmother to drink in the past, so I specially asked me to come over."
Yu Xijiao smiled, beckoned Qingyue to take the food basket, took out the soup can from it, and poured out two bowls.
