After a few days in the blink of an eye, Jingzhao's temperature gradually rose, and the breath of spring gradually became obvious.

She has been staying in the house for the past few days and has not gone anywhere, but Shi Xianhui has come to her a few times, just to go out shopping. It seems that Shi Xianhui enjoys her life in Jingzhao very much, and I heard that no matter where she goes, she likes to carry the general's mansion out and accept everyone's awe and envy of her.

Shi Tuo has been so busy these days that he hasn't seen anyone all day, sometimes she falls asleep, he just came back, and she hasn't woken up for two days, he has already left.

I don't know what he's up to, but maybe there's another war.

"Madam, Mrs. Hu is here." The red cotton tree walked in from the outside and said to the double to the road.

Shuangzhi half leaned on the soft chair to read the account book, Xiangqin and a few people did needlework by the window, and when they heard the words of the red cotton, they all raised their heads, and Shuangzhi said, "Please Mrs. Hu Dao Hall." ”

After waiting for so many days, it finally came.

A few days ago, she had already explained that the Du family and his wife should not be in a hurry for the time being, and they would first secretly check out Mrs. Hu's bottom line, and that money could make ghosts grind, but she didn't expect that in just a few days, Mrs. Du and they would find out everything about Mrs. Hu.

In this unfamiliar place, there are not many people who can use Shuangzhi, and she doesn't ask the Du family how they know some of the details that Mrs. Hu has hidden very well, anyway, the result is already known, what the process is, who cares.

"This Mrs. Hu hasn't been to the room for a few days, and there will definitely be nothing good going on when she comes to the door so early today." Xiangqin frowned, very disgusted by this Madame Hu's attitude of ignoring Shuangzhi in the past few days.

"Whether it's a good thing or not, I'll find out soon." Shuangzhi straightened her clothes, and the red cotton lifted the curtain for her and walked out of the inner room.

Shuangzhi stepped out, his eyes were contained, and he nodded to Mrs. Hu with a gentle smile, "Mrs. Hu." ”

Mrs. Hu bowed to Shuangzhi, "Madam, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

"Don't bother, please be seated." Shuangzhi thought that this Mrs. Hu should have met Aunt Mei who had just left, and Aunt Mei came to ask for rules early in the morning these days, which made Shuangzhi a little unaccustomed to it.

Mrs. Hu sat down in the Taishi chair according to her words, she was still so gentle and elegant, and the smile on her face was gentle and kind, "Madam, please forgive me, because the Lantern Festival has just passed these days, many things have to be arranged, so I haven't come to greet Madame, I don't know if Madame can still live comfortably in the house?" ”

Shuangzhi raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile, "Very good, thank you Mrs. Hu for your concern." ”

The parsley girls on the side glanced at Mrs. Hu unhappily, what did she say, there are many things in the family, so you have to report to Mrs., she really thinks she is the housewife?

"I wonder if Madame's man in this room is enough? Why don't I choose a few elven rings for you, Madame? "Mrs. Hu looks like she should be twenty-two years old, her words and deeds are relatively stable, and she also has a mentality of looking at a little girl when she faces Shuangzhi.

Shuangzhi squinted and smiled, "I don't have so much to do in this house for the time being, and the maid ring is enough to call." ”

Mrs. Hu smiled, "That's very good. ”

At this time, Xiao Yahuan served tea, and the hall was silent for a while.

Rubbing his fingertips lightly on the rim of the cup, he slowly spoke to Mrs. Hu, "Mrs. Hu, I liked the child I saw last time, can you let him come and talk to him when I have time?" ”

Surprise flashed across Mrs. Hu's face, "This ...... Madame, Wei'er doesn't know how to speak, and I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. ”

"How so? I clearly heard him call me master that day, but it didn't matter, I always liked children, and it was okay to play with him. Shuangzhi said with a smile.

Madame Hu frowned and glanced at Shuangzhi, not understanding why she paid so much attention to her son, "In this case, I will have someone bring him in a while, and if there is any trouble with Madame, Madame can mention it to me." ”

"Then thank you, Mrs. Hu." Shuangzhi smiled, and his eyes were sincere and clear.

Mrs. Hu still had doubts in her heart, but she didn't know where there was a problem, she glanced at Shuangzhi, thinking that this Fu Shuangzhi was just a little girl, not like a scheming person, now she is taking care of the huge inner courtyard of the general's mansion for her, she should be grateful to herself, and she should not have any opinions on her, "By the way, madam, a few days ago I took the account book to the general, and the general said that it has been handed over to you, you see, these days are also the time to ask for monthly money, is it not the first time for me to register the account book?" ”

Shuangzhi glanced at Mrs. Hu with bright eyes, and said to Rong Lan, "Rong Lan, go and bring all the account books." ”

Rong Lan answered, returned to the inner room and took out a stack of ledgers and placed them on the table next to Shuangzhi.

"By the way, Mrs. Hu, how have you dealt with the people and things sent during the New Year's Festival?" Shuangzhi asked casually, she knew that Shi Tuo didn't like to accept gifts from others, but there were really a lot of people who went to the General's Mansion to give gifts, looking at Mrs. Hu's registration of those lists, tsk, it can be seen how influential Shi Tuo is in the imperial court.

"It's all sent back." Mrs. Hu said.

Shuangzhi smiled lightly, "What do you mean?" ”

Mrs. Hu hesitated for a moment, "The general didn't say anything bad, so I have always dealt with it like this." ”

Shuangzhi nodded, and took out a stack of thinner booklets from the account book, "It's okay for me to be idle, so I won't bother Mrs. Hu about this gift first." ”

Mrs. Hu frowned, obviously feeling a wave of displeasure in her heart, but she couldn't say that she was not bothered, this was her business, but where was her business? What is her identity in the General's Mansion, and who is she Shi Tuo? On what basis do you say this is the way it should be?

In front of the real mistress of this general's mansion, she felt that she was just an outsider for a while.

Taking the account book from Rong Lan's hand, Mrs. Hu left a little distracted, her heart was messy, as if she had figured out the problem that had been haunting her mind for the past few days.

She's not Shi Tuo, or what? She was just an outsider who was taken in by Shi Tuo to stay in the mansion because her husband saved Shi Tuo's life, and she never felt that there was anything wrong with living in the General's Mansion, until that day when she saw Shi Tuo treating Fu Shuangzhi so gently, she was now ...... She didn't really want to be an outsider.

She wants to be Shi Tuo's ...... What people.

But she can't, she is a widow, and there is a son who doesn't like to talk since she was a child, and she doesn't even say a word after losing her father, she even has more important things to do, and she realizes that she has such a thought about Shi Tuo, so that she can no longer force a smile at Fu Shuangzhi, so she ran away.

Looking at the back of Mrs. Hu leaving, Xiangqin sneered coldly, "Although the Hu family is only a small family, it will not leave the only grandson behind, why did Mrs. Hu not return to the Hu family after her husband died, but stayed in the General's Mansion, I don't know what she wants." ”

"I heard that the people of the Hu family do not want to see Mrs. Hu, especially after the death of Vice General Hu, the family thinks that Mrs. Hu is kefu, and Mrs. Hu is unwilling to return to the Hu family, I think, Mrs. Hu should not know about Mrs. Hu's stay in the General's Mansion." The Hu family's house is far away in Xicheng, and Mrs. Hu followed Vice General Hu to Jingzhao, and in the past few years after Vice General Hu died, Mrs. Hu has never returned to Xicheng.

"Don't the people of the Hu family know about Vice General Hu's death on the battlefield?" Rong Lanhu asked.

"It can't be." Shuangzhi denied, "Vice General Hu died on the battlefield, the court must reward his family heavily, and the people of the Hu family must know about it, but they don't know that Mrs. Hu will come to the General's Mansion to join Shi Tuo." ”

"Cotton Tree, is that what your mother has found out?" Rong Lan asked.

Hongmian looked at Shuangzhi before nodding and saying, "It should be." ”

Shuangzhi smiled, "What's wrong with you, you think Mrs. Hu is a threat?" Or do you think that you lady and I will be overwhelmed by her? ”

Xiangqin said, "The slaves and maids naturally believe in you, Madame, but this Madame Hu is really making people block, what kind of face is that?" It's like we're all going to have to rely on her for food. ”

"Or, madam, let someone inquire again?" ”

Shuangzhi shook his head, "No need, it's enough to know where Mrs. Hu's in-laws are, next, you not only have a good familiarity with everything in this general's mansion, but also inquire about the families living around here, remember, don't be too public." ”

A few girls looked at each other and agreed.

"Is Linglan's wind chill better?" Shuangzhi asked, Linglan had a cold on the day she first arrived in Jingzhao, and she was not adapted to the water and soil, so she recuperated repeatedly for a few days, and she was afraid of infecting Shuangzhi, so she was always in her house.

"It's much better, and I'll be able to come out tomorrow." Qiu Ping replied that Qiu Ping was helping to take care of Linglan in the past few days.

"That's good." Shuangzhi said with a smile.

Not long after Shuangzhi returned to the inner room, Shi Xianhui came.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Shi Xianhui, who came to Jingzhao, didn't know if it was because he was in a foreign land, his attitude towards Shuangzhi was much better, and sometimes he was quite affectionate.

"I'm reading, what's the matter, where do you want to go today?" Shuangzhi asked her with a smile.

Shi Xianhui's face turned into a flower, "I have an appointment with a friend today. ”

"Oh? That's to have fun. "Double to the road.

Shi Xianhui's eyes were eager and proud, "Don't you ask who I have dated?" ”

Shuangzhi raised his eyebrows, this Shi Xianhui knew which daughter was going to come to Dese, "Who did you date?" ”

Shi Xianhui smiled mysteriously, "Sister-in-law, guess who I met yesterday?" ”

Shuangzhi smiled bitterly, and was really not used to Shi Xianhui's jumping speech, "So, second girl, who did you meet yesterday to make you so happy?" ”

Shi Xianhui raised her voice, unable to suppress her excitement, "I originally wanted to talk to you as soon as I came back yesterday, but the eldest brother is here, I just thought that it would be the same to come back to tell you today, yesterday I went to the most prestigious reception building in Jingzhao, and I heard that the candidates for this year's big exam will talk about the world's major affairs there." ”

Shuangzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Shi Xianhui silently.

Shi Xianhui thought that she had aroused her interest, and smiled even more happily, "Do you know who is the most famous and most talked about person in the reception hall now?" ”

Shuangzhi shook her head, she didn't know, and she didn't want to know.

"Qin Zixuan, I met Qin Zixuan."
