After the early morning, it was time for breakfast in the Marquis of Wuwen's mansion, and Wang Zhong cleaned up a little and went to the main hall.

At this time, there was already a young girl standing at the dinner table.

"Brother Gui!" The girl took the lead in greeting Wang Zhong when she saw her.

According to Hong Gui's memory, Wang Zhong replied: "Sister Xuejiao!"

Hong Xuejiao is the daughter of Hong Xuanji, born by Mrs. Fang, the second oldest of all daughters, one year younger than Wang Zhong.

Hong Xuanji has three wives and four concubines, Mrs. Zhao in the main house, and has sons-in-law Hong Xi and Hong Kang.

Mrs. Fang, the second wife, has only one daughter, Hong Xuejiao.

Mrs. Sanfang Rong, who is Hong Gui's biological mother, also has only one son.

The other four concubines and their children are not eligible to eat in the dining room, and even the concubines have to serve in the main room for meals.

However, Mrs. Zhao will buy people's hearts, and she does not force the concubines to serve, so they usually eat in their own courtyard.

Mrs. Zhao's sons Hong Xi and Hong Kang are already adults, and both have public offices, Hong Xi is the commander of the Shenji Battalion in the capital and lives in the military camp all the year round.

Hong Kang has been released as an official, and now he is also a feudal official.

The two of them won't be in the dining room.

Hong Xuanji, as the master on the spot, is even more busy with official business, and he will not come to the court early in the morning.

So the people who had breakfast in the dining room were only three ladies, plus Hong Xuejiao and Wang Zhong.

Although it was time for dinner, the rules of the Hou Mansion were strict, and the three ladies had not arrived, Wang Zhong and Hong Xuejiao could not sit down, they could only stand and wait!

"What's the matter today, the three ladies haven't arrived yet?" Wang Zhong waited for a while, and became impatient in his heart, thinking that he must leave the Hou Mansion when he had the opportunity in the future.

"Something should have happened, otherwise even if Mrs. Zhao didn't arrive, Mrs. Rong and my mother should have arrived?" Hong Xuejiao was also a little strange, but the family rules made her dare not make a mistake.

Wang Zhong was bored, so he looked at Hong Xuejiao.

In fact, Hong Xue is very good-looking, because she loves to practice martial arts since she was a child, and her figure is even more perfect.

is different from Wang Zhong's predecessor Hong Gui, Hong Xuejiao's martial arts talent is not bad, and she has already begun to "practice bones" at a young age, and her realm is still higher than Wang Zhong.

The reason why Wang Zhong observed Hong Xuejiao was not because he was attracted by her appearance, but because according to the plot of the original book, the entire Wuwen Marquis Mansion, and she was Hong Xuejiao who ended up with the best.

Because she had a good relationship with the protagonist Hong Yi, she finally saved her life! When the entire Wuwen Marquis Mansion was raided and exterminated, she was able to retreat with her whole body.

"Hmph!" may have been too explicit in Wang Zhong's observation, which caused Hong Xuejiao to be a little impatient.

Wang Zhong retracted his gaze, and then said to Hong Xuejiao with a smile: "I didn't expect that Sister Xuejiao had been "practicing bones" at a young age, compared to it, she was ashamed of her brother!

Hong Xuejiao sneered and said, "If Brother Gui uses the strength of drinking flower wine to practice, I'm afraid he will have already broken through the realm of bone training!"

Wang Zhong knew that Hong Xuejiao had always looked down on his predecessor "Hong Gui", and felt that he was a waste, who only knew how to spend time drinking and not doing business.

On the contrary, he is very optimistic about Hong Yi, who is in a very bad situation in the Hou Mansion, although his situation is not good, his perseverance is good, no matter how bad the environment is, he has not given up studying, and he was admitted to Xiucai not long ago, and he will be able to participate in the scientific examination in the spring of next year!

Compared with Hong Yi, Wang Zhong's predecessor Hong Gui is a scumbag!

"This time, I was punished by my father, and I learned from my brother's pain, and decided to quit drinking and dryness, and practice martial arts behind closed doors, but I didn't have a good skin practice for my brother!"

Wang Zhong asked Hong Xuejiao with a bitter face: "I don't know what kind of leather boxing method my sister practiced, can I teach my brother a trick or two!"

Hong Xuejiao was a little embarrassed: "This martial arts teaching is not trivial, the little sister herself hasn't practiced it yet, but she doesn't dare to pass it on to Brother Gui!"

Wang Zhong knew that Hong Xuejiao was all a pretext, and when he was about to weigh the hot iron, the next person reported that the three ladies had arrived.

Wang Zhong had no choice but to give up, stand with Hong Xuejiao, and greet the three ladies.

Hong Xuanji pays the most attention to etiquette, so the rules of the Hou Mansion are strict, Wang Zhong's strength has not recovered, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, so he can only go with the flow.

The three ladies did not come alone, they were surrounded by left and right, followed by many old mothers, and supported the three ladies to the dining room.

The first person is Hong Xuanji's wife, Mrs. Zhao, and the two equal wives, Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Rong, are staggered by half of their bodies to show their priorities.

After Mrs. Zhao sat down, Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Rong sat down and accepted the two juniors, and then Wang Zhong and Hong Xuejiao could take their seats.

After taking her seat, Mrs. Zhao did not raise chopsticks, and no one could hold a bowl.

The breakfast in the Hou Mansion is quite rich, with 36 dishes, and there are all kinds of noodles and porridge, although the amount is not large, it is very exquisite.

What's more, there are many precious medicinal herbs added to each dish, which is a real medicinal diet.

Wang Zhong knew that just this table would cost more than fifty taels of silver, which was enough for an ordinary family of three for more than a year.

This is also the result of Hong Xuanji's diligence and thrift, and he doesn't like extravagance and waste, I heard that those princes and nobles in the capital have at least 100 dishes per meal, and all the meals that can't be eaten are thrown away.

It was the real Zhumen wine and meat, and there were frozen bones on the road.

At this time, it was the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Great Qian Empire, and the country was thriving.

Under the flowers, there are still many crises, and the gap between the rich and the poor is obvious.

Naturally, these are not what Wang Zhong will pay attention to now!

Houfu pays attention to food without speaking, sleeping silently, a breakfast is eaten in a very quiet atmosphere, during which everyone does not eat much, except for Wang Zhong!

The three ladies pay attention to manners, the meal is very gentle, plus the appetite is small, it will end with a few chopsticks, Hong Xuejiao has been trained according to the wealthy lady since she was a child, and she is naturally the same as the three ladies.

Only Wang Zhong gobbled up, without any manners, and almost made thirty-six dishes by himself!

When Mrs. Zhao saw Wang Zhong's eating appearance, her brows frowned slightly, and she seemed to be a little displeased.

Mrs. Rong secretly glanced at Wang Zhong, but Wang Zhong patronized and ate and didn't see it at all.

"Gui'er!" Mrs. Rong finally couldn't stand it, and scolded Wang Zhongdao: "Auntie, don't lose your manners!"

Wang Zhong swallowed a mouthful of buns in his mouth and said, "Don't blame me, auntie, I have just recovered from this serious illness and have a big appetite, but I really can't control it!"

Mrs. Zhao nodded and said, "It's all a family, don't be so restrained, it's just that your child is too anxious to eat, I'm afraid you won't be able to digest it!"

Wang Zhong said freely: "It's okay, my martial arts have been a little successful recently, and even my stomach has improved a lot, no matter how much I eat, I'm not afraid!"

"Oh!" Mrs. Zhao said curiously: "You have just been severely punished by the master, not only have you recovered from your injuries in just three days, but even your cultivation has improved?"

Wang Zhong nodded and said, "The healing medicine given by my father has a wonderful effect, and the injury is almost healed!"

Mrs. Zhao was a little suspicious, because she remembered that when Hong Gui was punished, she secretly signaled her subordinates not to keep their hands.

The medicine that Hong Xuanji instructed Wu to send, Mrs. Zhao also knew, should not be so effective?

"You don't know how important you are, so it's better to let the doctor see it!" Mrs. Zhao glanced at an old woman who was waiting next to her!

"Madam, the villain has a little medical skills, can you show the third son?" the old mother understood and immediately stepped forward.

"Okay!" Mrs. Zhao nodded and said, "I know Mama Li's medical skills, so you can show the third son!"

Mama Li agreed, ran to Wang Zhong's side with a smile, and said, "Third son, please stretch out your left hand, and the little one will give you a pulse!"

Wang Zhong generously stretched out his left hand, Mama Li carefully dragged it with her left hand, and put three fingers on Wang Zhong's veins with her right hand!

"Huh!" Not long after taking the pulse, Mama Li said in surprise: "How can the pulse of the third prince be so strong!"
