"Where is my mother?"

Zhou Fugui glanced at the palatial and beautiful Pingliang Marquis Mansion, then walked in and asked as he walked.

Yan Imperial Court, that is, the mansion given to Zhou Fugui by the Empress Dowager Yan, is a house complex with a quadrangle regulation, with cloisters and heavy buildings, etc., the east hall, the west room, the east and west ear rooms, the west wing room, the east wing room, the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard, the back cover room and so on.

The doors on all sides open to the courtyard, and the spacious courtyard can also be used to plant trees and flowers, raise birds and fish, stack stones and scenery, and so on. Carved windows, bucket arches, birds, cornices, ridges, pavilions, eaves and green tiles, everything seems so golden, dazzling, brilliant and magnificent.

The smoke of the six-fold mansion is warm, and the water of the nine-song cloister is cold. The mansion of the wealthy family is still like the old, and the years have changed.

Zhou Fugui's family was originally an ordinary farmer in Luming Township, Youzhou, and Zhou Fugui's wish in life was that his mother and other relatives lived a rich and prosperous life without worrying about food and clothing, but at this time, Zhou Fugui was added to the official and entered the knighthood, and the court gave him such a mansion, but he couldn't be happy.

The reason is self-evident, all these rewards from the Yan court are to make Zhou Fugui pay the price, even his life.

"The old lady is in the inner house." Bu San bowed and led Zhou Fugui into the mansion, answering as he walked.

Zhou Fugui nodded, and walked towards the mansion with a heavy heart.

After passing through the beautifully carved shadow wall, walking for a distance, you will come to the inner house.

"Color! Color! Color! ”

"The old lady is really good!"

"Grandma, grandma, it's me, it's me!"

After Zhou Fugui stepped over an archway, he heard bursts of cheers and the noise of fighting and making noise in the courtyard.

When I got closer, I saw the old lady of the Pingliang Marquis Mansion, Liu, dressed in a bearded suit, with a leather belt around her waist, and a pair of short boots on her feet, leading a group of kabuki, dancing girls, maids, etc. to gather together to play and have fun.

Zhou Fugui's old lady Liu twisted a feather arrow in her hand and gestured there, but instead of archery, she was ready to throw an arrow.

The so-called throwing arrow, also known as throwing pots, throwing pots, shooting fine, feasting and drinking to shoot to Lebin, to practice and talk about art.

Pitching pots originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and originated from archery. Because the courtyard is not wide enough, it is not enough to place the hoof; or because of the large number of guests, it is not enough to prepare a bow coupling; Or some guests really don't know how to shoot arrows, so they use pitching pots instead of bending bows, so as to entertain guests and learn etiquette. The kings of the harem or large families, Sun Guiguan, love this kind of game, not only to relieve boredom, but also to naturalist. This game will be filled with wine jar as a pitcher, open a certain distance, throw arrows, to the number of investment to determine the winner, under normal circumstances the loser will be punished for wine or fines, the winner is arrogant, triumphant.

Everyone drank together, frolicked, and played with pitchers, which was simply happy and happy, and they forgot their worries.

Zhou Fugui, who was in a heavy mood, was not in such a mood, but in order not to ruin the old lady's happiness, he still walked behind Liu silently, and looked at Liu, Xiaoqing and other relatives who were about to throw arrows with a smile.

When can the people of the peasant households, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, running around and working all day long for the little food in their mouths, can they be so leisurely and playful? Although her mother Liu was born in the former Wei royal family, it was a long, long time ago, and it can be said that she has worked hard for half a life. Zhou Fugui's father died early, leaving two sons and a daughter, Liu raised them with hard work, and then many miserable and tragic things happened, such as Zhou Fugui's brother Zhou Dashan was tortured to death, Zhou Fugui was assigned to the border guard, and so on, in Zhou Fugui's memory, his mother Liu did not have a happy time.

Perhaps such a happy time is also extremely short-lived.

Therefore, at this time, no matter how much Zhou Fugui is preoccupied, no matter how upset he is, he can't bear to sweep his mother's happiness, and he must not sweep her happiness, no matter how much sorrow he has, Zhou Fugui only intends to bear it alone.

Xiaoqing, who had been absent-minded, had been looking at the gate of the courtyard, and when he turned around, he found Zhou Fugui, so he blushed and lowered his head, but walked to Zhou Fugui's side, and after being on him, his face was also full of happiness.

Zhou Fugui smiled and pinched Xiaoqing's somewhat hot little hand, signaling not to disturb his mother Liu.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Liu is worthy of being a member of the former Wei royal family, perhaps familiar with such a pot throwing game since childhood, and threw three arrows in a row, and the arrows and arrows entered the pot, which was a hundred shots and a hundred hits, and suddenly caused a group of kabuki, dancing girls, maids and other female flattering cheers.

Zhou Fugui's nephew Zhou Hutou snatched more than ten feather arrows, and "huh, huh" a burst of random throwing, but none of them were thrown, so he was so angry that he picked up a bundle of arrows and ran forward, and poured them into the quiver with a "tom" sound, and then clapped his hands proudly, looking triumphant, which caused everyone to laugh.

"Hehe, little one, be opportunistic!" Zhou Fugui couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw this.

"Master Hou!" Everyone turned their heads and saw Zhou Fugui, a group of kabuki, dancing girls, and maids bowed together in a panic, and some women looked at Zhou Fugui secretly, but they were happy, shy, and scared in their hearts.

The beautiful women that Empress Dowager Murong Qing rewarded to Zhou Fugui are, of course, his people, let him beat, scold him, let him sleep, and even give them away or sell them, it's up to him.

Zhou Fugui is handsome, majestic, and has been in the military battlefield for several years, and he looks unusually majestic, his eyes are extremely sharp, and his body faintly exudes a burst of blood, which is not angry and self-imposing, so a group of kabuki, dancing girls, maids, etc. are secretly happy, shy, but a little afraid.

"Ouch, our Hou Ye is back?" After Liu turned around and saw his biological son Zhou Fugui, he said triumphantly: "Lord Marquis, you are scared to death!" ”

Zhou Fugui's old lady Liu, the former wish was to look forward to Zhou Fugui being a majestic general, and now Zhou Fugui is not only a majestic general, but also a marquis who is feared by thousands of people, how can he be so unhappy?

"Mother, my mother, no matter how old your son is, he is also your son, isn't he?" Zhou Fugui said with tears and laughter when he heard this: "I scared you, isn't it my son's fault?" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, they all felt that Zhou Fugui was amiable, and there was more joy and shyness in their hearts, but less fear.

"Smack!" With a bang, Liu smiled and slapped Zhou Fugui on the body and said, "Ouch, they're all home, what are you doing in this iron shell?" Come and remove the armor for the Hou Ye. ”

The iron armor on Zhou Fugui's body hasn't left his body for a long time, and it's almost on him...

So a group of women surrounded Zhou Fugui and took off his armor for Zhou Fugui, and Zhou Hutou also ran over to help, he didn't remove his armor for Zhou Fugui, but he was envious.

"Sting!" With a bang, when the last piece of armor left his body, he took away a black, dirty, and smelly undershirt, revealing a piece of skin that had been crushed red by the iron armor.

"Fugui, you..."Liu exclaimed when he saw this.

"It's okay, it's okay..."Zhou Fugui smiled: "I haven't changed my clothes for a long time, I smoked my mother, right?" ”

"You were born by an old lady, and my mother is still afraid that you stink?" Hearing this, Liu gently stroked Zhou Fugui's scarred shoulder, and said while stroking: "Fugui, you... Over the years, I must have suffered a lot, right? ”

Liu's tears were about to fall, and Xiaoqing was even more tearful, eager to immediately throw herself into Zhou Fugui's arms and comfort her beloved man with her tenderness.

"Mother, you too... But mother, Xiaoqing..."Zhou Fugui pretended to be relaxed and comforted Liu and Xiaoqing: "If you have to suffer hardship, you will become a master, isn't your son already bitter?" ”

"Proud of it!" After Liu scolded with a smile, he took Zhou Fugui's hand and said, "Go, Fugui, accompany your mother into the house and talk well, you don't have to follow." Daughter-in-law???????????????? Go and prepare food for the rich, and then prepare things for bathing. Daughter-in-law, you should understand what your mother means, right? ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou Fugui asked in surprise when he heard this.

Isn't it just eating, drinking, and bathing? What else does it mean? Zhou Fugui thought in wonder.

"What do you know about our women?" After glaring at Zhou Fugui, Liu Shi glanced at Xiaoqing again.

If you want to keep a man, if you want to become a wife, you must first keep a man's stomach, in fact... Liu is from the past, how can he not know?

"Hmm..."Xiaoqing nodded shyly.

"What are you doing with it? The old man whispered a few words to his son, and you don't have to listen, stand down. Liu led Zhou Fugui to the house, but the two maids followed closely, so Liu turned his head and scolded coldly.

The two maids had no choice but to retreat.

"Poof! Ouch! Zhou Hutou desperately climbed out from under the iron armor, and shouted as he crawled: "Grandma, mother, aunt, sister-in-law, second uncle's turtle shell is so heavy!" ”

“.........”

..................

"Mother, why did you treat them...?" Zhou Fugui asked after being led into the house by the old lady.

"Hmph, it's all eyes and ears, when I don't know?" Liu snorted coldly when he heard this.

"Okay, my mother really understands people!" Zhou Fugui gave a thumbs up when he heard this, and praised his mother who was a little nervous.

Empress Dowager Yan Murong Qing rewarded Zhou Fugui with these disciples, family members, servants, maidservants, maidservants, dancing girls, singers, etc., in addition to making Zhou Fugui pay the price, they or they are also Murong Qing's eyes and ears, monitoring Zhou Fugui and his family's every move, maybe Zhou Fugui shouted loudly in the mansion, and Murong Qing would know immediately.

For Murong Qing's various practices, Zhou Fugui was of course disgusted and hated, but he was helpless.

is still the same sentence, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, Zhou Fugui is not stupid enough to fight against a country with one army, and he is not stupid enough to raise the flag to rebel now.

Zhou Fugui's mother, Liu, grew up in the deep palace, and she is very familiar with these tricks.
