Chapter 403: There is a woman heading west
"Hello, may I ask how to get to the Chengyi Hou Mansion?" Lao Wu, with the assistance of the Dingyuan Dart Bureau, went down the Yangtze River, and in less than ten days, he had already rushed from Shu County to the land of Chaisang. However, this time, in order to be faster, Lao Wu did not follow the boat of the Gao family of the Dingyuan Dart Bureau, but chose the fastest one, and came down from the dock and entered the city, so he quickly asked for directions as instructed.
"Eh, what's the matter, brother, why are you looking for Chengyihou?" The stall owner of the street stall asked Lao Wu, "Recently, many people like you have also been looking for Chengyihou, what's wrong with you?"
The fifth child's eyes lit up, "Big brother, do you know? Can you take me there? Those people may be my brothers, we are the servants of Chengyihou in Yizhou."
The stall owner suddenly realized, "No wonder the skin color is about the same, eh, poor brother, this person is also looking for Lu Houye, you take him to his house" The stall owner grabbed an official errand by the way, and when it comes to this kind of thing, it is most convenient to find an official errand.
The official came over and looked at the fifth child, "Come with me, I'll take you over"
The official messenger took the fifth brother through the street and found the expanded Sanyouju, and he also saw the eldest and second of his four brothers guarding the door, and the fifth said to the official, "Brother Cha, this is it, right? I saw my eldest brother and second brother" After speaking, he pointed to the door.
The official nodded and said, "You are brothers, okay, I'll go with you."
When the two came to the door, the eldest and the second immediately stood up with a whoosh and stopped at the door, "Who is coming?"
The fifth brother walked out from behind the official messenger, "Big brother, second brother, I am the fifth brother", and walked up to give them two a hug after speaking.
The eldest and second looked at it, it was really the fifth, "Fifth brother, why are you here?"
Lao Wu shook his head, "No, the master has a letter that I want to give to Madame, and if I need Mrs. to decide, I want to pass it on to Madame."
The boss nodded, and called out to the inner courtyard, "Xiaohuan, Xiaohuan, there is a letter to Mrs." The Xiaohuan in the boss's mouth is the servant that Shaoyuan bought for the family after becoming the Hou Ye, and Shaoyuan Mansion hired a total of three workers, a housekeeper Yun Ma, two Xiaoyue's maid Xiaohuan, Xiaochun. Originally, Yun Ma also said that there were no men in the house to do coolies, but now that there are four in one breath, they have basically put an end to heavy work, and they have to sigh that their Hou Ye is really imaginative, and directly found four Kunlun slaves to come back, and I heard them say that not only four, but six.
"Big brother, what's the matter, is there anything you want me to give to Madame?" a little girl, who was only about thirteen years old, came out of the room and probed into the porter.
The boss took out the letter and introduced the fifth brother, "Xiaohuan, this is my fifth brother, who has just returned from the master's side"
Xiaohuan took the letter, nodded and said, "Hello fifth brother, I'll hand over the letter first, you wait first."
The fifth child was puzzled, "Big brother, why are we not guarding the gatehouse, but building a small shed outside the door?"
The boss said, "The housekeeper Yun Ma said that there are only a few women in the house, and we are not suitable to go in, so we are waiting outside the door, and the third and sixth are resting in the house next door, and we will take turns at the door day and night to surround the Hou Mansion."
And Mrs. Lu Xiaoyue was learning from Yun's mother seriously at the moment, when she suddenly shouted, "Madam, Madam, Master Hou has sent someone to write a letter"
Xiao Yue was concentrating on threading needlework, but when she heard Master Hou, she couldn't help but tremble, and said with a happy face, "Where, Xiaohuan, quickly give me the letter"
Yun Ma on the side coughed, "Xiaohuan, what kind of system are you so reckless, there is no one around at the moment, if you go to Luoyang in the future, you will have to go in and out of different places, if you do this, it will make others think that the Hou Ye and Mrs. are not strict in their family education, do you know?"
Xiaohuan stuck out his tongue and took out the letter, "Madam, this is a handwritten letter from Master Hou"
Xiao Yue took the letter, looked at the cover, "It's really the handwriting of an official", and then Yun Ma and Xiao Huan consciously went out of the room, leaving Xiao Yue alone in the room, for a long time, suddenly Xiao Yue said from the room, "Xiao Huan, you go and call the person who sent the letter, I have something to ask him"
Through the bead curtain, the fifth child bowed in front of the bead curtain and bowed "see Mrs."
Xiao Yue waved her hand, "No courtesy, what else does Master Hou say besides handing over this letter to you?"
Lao Wu nodded and said, "Master Hou asked me to wait for my brother to escort Mrs. to Shuzhong, and said that Miss Pan's matter should be decided by Mrs.
Xiaoyue put away the letter and said, "Xiaohuan, inform the boss to prepare the carriage, and we will go to Gaofu"
At this moment, the Gao Mansion is still as magnificent as ever, but there is less residence of Gao Zheng and others, only Bingluo and Gao Pet in illness, there is no Gao family to live, and Bingluo in order to take care of Gao Pet, is already living in a simple house, rarely going out, except for Xiaoyue's daily visit, basically no one will come to visit.
In the backyard, Bingluo sat in the newly set up study outside Gao Pet's room as usual to pass the time, "Madam, Mrs. Anmei is here," the maid came up and reported.
Bingluo put down the pen and walked out, "Oh, Xiaoyue is here, could it be that something happened?"
In the living room, the two 'noblewomen' met again, but Bingluo was obviously more qualified, and she curled her hair to show that she was married to another woman, and at this moment, she was Mrs. Wei Yuanhou.
"Xiao Yue, but what is there to discuss with my sister?" As soon as he looked at him, Bing Luo saw Xiao Yue's anxious eyes, as if there was something urgent.
Satsuki took out the letter, "Sister taught me, how should I do this?"
Bingluo frowned, looked at the letter, and laughed after a while, "Xiaoyue, just go, that Pan girl, you also realized that she was a daughter, why didn't you mention Shaoyuan? If not, you still thought that Shaoyuan would marry this woman and enter the door? Shaoyuan's letter actually had no other meaning, he didn't have the slightest idea of taking a concubine between the lines, Shaoyuan was not a person in a hurry, although there was no explanation here, I was afraid that there was still a mystery in this woman." Shaoyuan called you over and let you decide, obviously based on your opinion. ”
After listening to Bingluo's explanation, Xiao Yue's frowning brows gradually loosened, "Is this really the case?"
Bingluo nodded, "That's it, if he wants to take a concubine, it would be good to bring it back directly from Shuzhong, why bother to mobilize the people and let you go." But Xiaoyue, ask yourself, would you like others to share your father-in-law?"
Xiao Yue hurriedly shook her head, "I don't want to, I don't want to, but I relied on the officials so shamelessly that day, so I got my identity today thanks to the officials." Since I am the wife of Dingyuan Hou Liupin, Yun Ma often says that you can't be a jealous woman, otherwise it will humiliate the family, so I also want to go to Shuzhong, if Miss Pan is indeed excusable, it is not impossible to bring it back to the house to live temporarily, if the official wants to set up a concubine, Xiaoyue will not object"
Bingluo rolled his eyes, "Okay, okay, then let's go, and then decide, how are you going to go to Shuzhong this time?"
Xiao Yue thought for a while, "The official asked me to go to Jianning to meet her, I can go up the waterway, and there is someone to protect me, there should be no problem"
Bingluo waved his hand, "Just the few in your house, it's not very convenient, so let's go with you, the condition of the insect has been much more stable recently, I can also move around a little"
