5. Chapter 5 The Return of the Hou Ye
Before dawn, I heard the rooster's hooves, and the Hou Mansion was even more busy, Hou Ye Jiangnan inspected, and finally returned to the house, and everyone was busy welcoming Hou Ye.
"The county lord gets up earlier than the slave every time, and the slave and maid become a lazy maid" Xia Mei just brought the washing water, and saw that Mu Jinshu was already dressed and looking at the book she bought yesterday, very leisurely.
"Isn't this that I don't want to disturb your sleep" Mu Jin said without raising her head, looking down at the book, only to see that the book had the words of the Book of Medicine and Virtue written on it.
"Don't look at the county lord, the Hou Ye is back, and the lady asked the whole house to go down to the door to greet him. ”
"Well, let's go" Mu Jinshu put down the book, got up and stepped out of the room.
Xia Mei reluctantly put the basin on the ground and hurriedly followed Mu Jinshu.
Everyone was waiting at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and when Mu Jinshu arrived, everyone had already arrived, and I was afraid that Mu Jinshu would be alone.
"The eldest lady is now the county lord, but you can't even forget the big event to welcome the Hou Ye, if you put it on weekdays, forget it, but the eldest lady doesn't care about the Hou Ye's affairs" The sour and mean voice was a woman's voice when I heard it.
Mu Jin Shu looked for prestige, only to see the woman in green clothes enchanting and charming, with a face full of disdain.
"The third aunt is so beautifully dressed, even more beautiful than the mother is wearing," Mu Jinshu blinked and sighed.
The eldest lady, Mu Jinshu's mother, when the eldest lady heard this, her fierce eyes glared at the woman in green, this woman knew that she would seduce Hou Ye and use some fox tricks, hum!
The third aunt in green immediately stopped talking, for fear of saying something wrong, but her eyes looked at Mu Jinshu from time to time, and her eyes were deep.
The Marquis of the Protector has a total of five wives.
The eldest lady gave birth to the eldest lady Mu Jinshu and the third lady Mu Dip.
The second lady gave birth to the second lady Mu Bailu and the eldest young master Mu Baiyan, and the second lady was sent out for training because of her weak body when she was born.
The third lady was the most favored by the Hou Ye and gave birth to the fourth lady Mu Yuxin.
The fourth lady gave birth to the second young master Mu Chuanfeng and the fifth young lady Mu Chuanxing.
The fifth lady gave birth to the sixth lady Mu Li.
"Hou Ye, it's Hou Ye!" The second lady, who had been silent, said excitedly when she saw the palanquin marked with Hou's Mansion in the distance.
Everyone looked at the sedan chair for a while, only to see the sedan chair slowly approaching, stopping in front of everyone, the eldest lady went to greet with a smile, but the next moment her face was stiff.
I saw a woman get down from the sedan chair first, and then, the marquis in court clothes also got off the sedan chair.
"Master Hou, this is..."The eldest lady held herself up, not letting herself be angry, and laughed far-fetched.
Mu Jinshu knew in her heart that there would be one more Sixth Lady in the Hou Mansion in the future! Everything was the same as in the previous life. However, she Mu Jinshu has changed.
"This is Li Niang, and she will be the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion in the future. Hou Ye Mu Si looked at the woman named Li Niang, and there was some doting in his eyes, how could this not surprise everyone, and the third lady, who had always been the most favored, almost fainted. The eldest lady's face was not much better. The second lady is still silent, the fourth lady and the fifth lady have never been very favored by the Hou Ye, and they have long looked down on the door of this deep courtyard mansion, and they have no other feelings.
The sixth lady held Mu Sitong's arm, and her eyes were full of coquettishness.
The crowd went to the main hall.
"I heard that Shu'er fell into the water in Gulun Mansion?" Mu Sitong was the first to ask.
"Yes, there are so many people in Gulun Mansion, who accidentally squeezed Shu'er by the edge of the pool, and Shu'er accidentally fell down by herself," the eldest lady said with a kind face.
"The eldest sister is too careless, how can the innocence of the daughter's family be said carelessly?" Mu was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and his tone was worried.
Mu Jinshu tilted her head and asked, "The third sister was with me at the time, and the third sister always pulled me to say that I was embarrassed when I went to such a big occasion for the first time, why did I fall into the water and pull my third sister to be fine?"
Mu was speechless for a while, and his heart was even more nervous.
"Shu'er!" the eldest lady roared, "she is your sister, you cursed your sister like this?"
"Shu'er just wondered in her heart, why did her mother scold Shu'er without thinking about it, wasn't Shu'er born by her mother!" Mu Jinshu was aggrieved in her heart, her mother was always like this, she didn't ask anything, and she scolded her every time.
"You..." The eldest lady was so angry that she didn't know how to refute, and when she saw the gaze shot by the Hou Ye, her heart trembled.
"Enough!" Mu Sitong's face was gloomy, these women were always arguing and not being peaceful, "Shu'er was just sent back by the Queen Mother a few months ago, and she is almost over, and she will be in charge of the affairs of the house to some extent, and she will be in charge of the family in the future."
The women of the Ling Dynasty are fifteen and Xu, and Ah Shu is now twelve, and there are still three years to go.
"But Shu'er is still three years away from Jilu, so I'm not in a hurry, Hou Ye," the eldest lady said.
"That's it, if you have any more moths, you will hand over the affairs of the house to Qin Niang" Mu Si finished with a unified face impatiently, and left with the sixth lady who had never spoken. Qin Niang is the second lady.
The fourth lady smiled and walked to Mu Jinshu's side, "The eldest lady can be in charge of the house in the future, and then she will have to teach the nettle." ”
Mu Jinshu chuckled, "Fourth aunt, rest assured." ”
The fourth lady said some thoughtful words cordially and left.
Mu Jinshu saw the fourth lady leaving, and looked at the first eldest lady, "Mother, my daughter will leave first." Without waiting for the man to answer, he lifted his skirt and left.
The eldest lady looked at Mu Jinshu's back, her eyes quenched.
One by one, they departed.
"Is my sister angry?" said the silent second lady again, and she saw the eldest lady's expression in her eyes and smiled.
"Can you not be angry! Hou Ye's words are very clear, Mu Jinshu will definitely be the head of the family when she marries in the future! What about my heart, do I have to be inferior?" the eldest lady said angrily.
"Does my sister still mind that?" said the second lady.
"Yes and what. ”
"Even so, Shu'er is your daughter, she was born to you, it's well known, isn't it?"
The eldest lady frowned and said hatefully, "But, I have a heart and can't tolerate her."
"Hehe, is my sister unable to tolerate her, or Shu'er?" The second lady couldn't help laughing, "The past is over, my sister might as well put her mind on the woman that Hou Ye brought back." ”
The eldest lady was a little relieved, and sighed, "My sister has worked hard, my sister understands your hard work, and that woman is even more difficult than the third lady." ”
The second lady smiled brightly and movingly, and her eyes flashed with a different color.
