Chapter 1 The Hou's House Comes to Pick Up the Ominous Girl
The spring of the 21st year of Shunde was late, but this did not hinder people's enthusiasm for enjoying spring. Dingyuan Hou Mansion held a grand spring celebration banquet.
Strange flowers and plants bloom in a row, and the crowd is thriving everywhere. Tourists are cruising through them in newly made gorgeous spring clothes, and there is a beautiful scenery everywhere.
Rong Fu, the old lady of the Rong family, likes such occasions the most. After all, everyone has to flatter her, which makes her feel that she can live for a few more years, and her old face is full of gloss.
Just as she was chatting with several old sisters about interesting things in Beijing, she saw the eldest daughter-in-law Rong Ye sitting on the side and frowned when she heard the servant report. Her eyebrows were furrowed. Her face immediately fell down. Whose head is going to touch? Didn’t you see any guests?
Rong Ye was just watching the news he had just heard, but he didn't see the cold face of his mother-in-law. Instead, the fourth daughter-in-law Rong Li, who was sitting on the other side, saw the displeasure on Rong Fu's face and lowered his eyes slightly, hoping that his sister-in-law would anger the ancestor, so there would be a good show.
Rong Fu was not good at making a sound when the occasion was in the face of the situation. Fortunately, the old man quickly made up for it and quietly came to her ear and whispered a few words. Rong Li, who was sitting next to her, quietly leaned against the old lady's preference for the fourth room and wanted to eavesdrop on one or two. Unfortunately, the sister-in-law's voice was really small, and she heard nothing. She couldn't help but sway her mouth, and her eyes covered her jealousy and mockery. What's so great about it?
Even if the daughter of the Crown Princess supported the marquis's gift-giving, the eldest family still could not get involved in the position of marquis, and in the end the second family would have been allowed to inherit the title. If you want to blame, you can only blame the old lady for being the concubine. She gave birth to the eldest son too early, and the name of the legitimate son is a bit unjust. When the title is inherited, the saint may be surrendered by the saint. For the sake of security, the second son, whose name of the legitimate son is unshakable, inherited the title.
Rong Li is a fourth wife, and her family is not her turn to have a title, so she only watches the battle between the big wife and the second wife for many years.
After hearing the eldest daughter-in-law's whisper, Rong Fu's expression did not change, but his eyes sank. He soon left with his eldest daughter-in-law in the name of changing clothes.
Rong Li wanted to follow him, but when the eldest sister-in-law looked at her, she couldn't sit still and felt unhappy. After a while, when she saw her second sister-in-law Rong Jin coming, she got up and smiled and greeted her.
"Why did the second sister-in-law come so late? My mother-in-law and my sister-in-law just went to change clothes, so I could only leave me here to accompany the guests." Then she quietly pulled the sleeves of Jin-shi, slapped her round fan, and whispered, "I don't know what my sister-in-law said to her mother-in-law, the two left in a hurry."
Rong Jin is the current wife of Dingyuan Marquis, but the power in the mansion is in the hands of the big house. The news is not well-informed. When he heard this, his face could hardly be tense. Fortunately, he still remembered that there were several old ladies from other mansions. She could still maintain her demeanor and greet him one by one, saying that she should be punished if she was late.
He was generous and generous, and several old ladies praised Rong Jinshi a lot.
Everyone knows very well about the chaotic family affairs of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, but it is difficult for honest officials to settle family affairs, and no one will make trouble for themselves to interfere in other people's family affairs.
In the bright early spring sun, Rong Fu sat upright in the first place, his eyes drooping slightly covering the turbid eyeballs. His tight expression could be seen as furious. The confidant Zhu, who was standing beside him, hurriedly stroked her back and comforted her softly, for fear that she would get angry.
Rong Ye looked at her husband sitting on the other side with some embarrassment, and then persuaded him, "Don't calm down, this is all the meaning of the Crown Princess, the Empress..." When she said this, she was sad for a moment, and she couldn't help but pull out her veil and cry.
When he cried, he knew how to cry. Rong Cheng looked at his first wife with displeasure and cried unhappily. He couldn't help but be the one who was in a bad position. If he was unhappy, he would still persuade him, "Mom, don't miss the big matter of the Crown Princess."
Rong Fu raised his eyes and looked at his eldest son. When the son was born, she sat firmly on the position of the Rong family's concubine. Unfortunately, the bitch was still the one who occupied the position of the wife at that time, so her son failed to become the legitimate son, and later she was even given up by her husband.
She sighed slightly, guilty prevailed, she compromised, "If you want to pick it up, go and pick it up." Then she was unwilling to give up, "Anyway, my old bone has been alive for a few days, and she will be defeated..."
"Mom, you're ruining your son." Rong Cheng knelt down at the right time.
Rong Ye did not dare to sit down, so he also stood up and knelt down.
The spring banquet was so terrible that Rong Jin sent away the distinguished guests one by one. It was already dark. She was about to turn around and go to the kitchen to see the supplements for her mother-in-law when she saw the maid Pearl next to the old lady hurriedly looking for him, "Second Madam, the old lady invites you to come here."
Rong Jin was puzzled, but he still calmed down and walked directly to Ning'an Hall where the old lady lived.
When she arrived, she happened to see her husband Rong Zhang rushing over. The couple looked at each other and didn't know what medicine was sold in Rong Fu's gourd.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Rong Jinshi walked in, he heard Rong Fushi's orders, "You are here just right. I just ordered Madam Zhu to go to the village to pick up the third girl. You are her biological mother, so I can send someone to accompany you."
The news made the couple stunned. Rong Zhang frowned and was unhappy. Rong Jin could not hide the joy on her face. She was afraid that her husband, the filial son, would object, so she hurriedly responded, "Yes, the daughter-in-law will go and ask the servants now." She turned around and retreated quickly, preparing to discuss with her sister-in-law.
Outside the capital, there is a good section of road covered with yellow mud. It has not rained for a long time during a drought, and a gust of dust will be raised when the carriage passes by.
On the hill not far away, a young man in black was riding on a horse and watching the smoke and dust rolling up in the two carriages passing by, his eyes full of interest.
"Master, Master, Xiaodi just saw it clearly. It seemed like the carriage of the Marquis of Dingyuan..." A young man riding a horse as a servant came hurriedly.
"Dingyuan Marquis Mansion?"
Hearing these four words, several servants of the same age who were guarding the boy in black could not help but whispered a few times, and then looked at their master in unison.
The boy in black suddenly pulled out a black scarf to cover his nose and mouth, looked at the boy in the shape of a servant and said, "Don't go, everyone else covers his face and goes up to me."
"Master, that's the carriage from the Marquis of Dingyuan..."
Obviously he was worried and was quite afraid of the Hou Mansion. If he hit a big shot, he would really not be able to take it.
"What are you afraid of?" The boy in black smiled and glanced at the few people, "Don't worry, the carriage is not gorgeous, and obviously there is no master of the Marquis' Mansion sitting inside, why are you afraid of collision?"
Hearing this, the few people smiled. They were naughty and naughty people who could follow the master. Whenever the servants of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion appeared, they looked arrogant and wanted to give the person sitting in the carriage a little more.
Madam Zhu was a confidant who had to be used by Rong Fu, so she naturally rode alone in a carriage. The one in the back was Madam Ru sent by the eldest lady and Madam Hua sent by the second lady. She would not take these two seriously. To put it nicely, the Madam was giving it to her, but the old lady still had the final say.
In her eyes, this farm was just a countryside. Relying on the power of the old lady, she also put on airs. She sat alone in the carriage and ate snacks that others had filial to, and drank a pot of good tea, so she could only think that she was the master of the Marquis' Mansion.
However, as soon as I ate a small snack, I heard the sound of horse hooves outside the carriage. Moreover, because the horse hooves were running around the carriage, the smoke and dust were much larger than before, and the small snacks on her table were immediately covered with a layer of loess.
She was furious. The large area of land nearby belonged to Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion. Who was so arrogant about teasing her here?
The sound of the coachman shouting came, but the people outside did not buy it. The sound of a group of young men roaring and annoying her. She suddenly lifted the curtain of the car and showed her serious and mean old face, and angrily scolded, "Don't you! Do you know whose carriage is this? Do you know whose territory is this?"
Unexpectedly, when the young man in black in the head saw her appear, the smile between his eyes seemed to be stronger, and the gaze of looking up and down at her was very rude, which made Madam Zhu feel offended.
However, seeing that the black clothes on the other party were made of good materials, I couldn't control the other party's identity for a while, I was afraid that the powerful young master from a Beijing family passed by here and was naughty here.
"Who am I still thinking that the person sitting in the carriage? He is just a servant from the Marquis' Mansion, so his score is quite large."
The teenager who was in the voice change period had a little difficulty in defining his voice for a while, but his words were quite harsh.
Madam Zhu is a decent servant in the Dingyuan Marquis’ Mansion. How could she ever be treated like such rudely by others?
"Where did the wild boy come from here to be rude...ah..."
She was about to angrily yell at the young man that he didn't know the etiquette, but the other party deliberately stepped forward and waved the whip in his hand. She was so scared that she quickly retreated back into the carriage, for fear of being hit by the whip in his hand.
"If you have the abundance, you can come and report it to your name. How could Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion be afraid of you..." The fox made a bluff with a powerful force.
The boy in black laughed out loud and said contemptuously, "Can a servant represent the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion? It seems that the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is not very good."
"You, you..." Madam Zhu was so angry that she couldn't speak.
In the carriage behind, Madam Ru and Madam Hua also hugged each other tremblingly. How could they be the opponents of these half-grown boys?
Fortunately, these teenagers just raised the dust like a joke and let them eat all over the body. No other extraordinary actions were done. When the teenagers became full of appetite, they left roaring again.
Madam Zhu was so angry that she felt so angry that this trip was a good job, but now it has changed. She dared to curse after seeing the person leaving.
In the carriage behind, Madam Ru and Madam Hua looked at each other, and neither of them said a word.
The village in Dingyuan Hou Mansion is located in the suburbs of Beijing. It has built a two-in-one house in the center for the owners of the mansion to occasionally live there. However, since the third girl of the Hou Mansion Rong Jingqiu was raised here more than ten years ago, the master of the Hou Mansion has not liked to live here for a while. After all, they are afraid of the third girl's ominous fate.
In fact, this ominous statement only defeated the old lady Rong Fu, but the old lady sent the newborn baby away with a great fanfare, which made people who spread rumors think that the three girls have a bad life.
Even these three girls are in bed and have not even had a shadow on their wedding.
Thinking of these things, Rong Jingqiu's wet nurse Lin An couldn't help but sigh heavily. She didn't know when the Hou Mansion would send someone to pick up the third girl back. If she delayed it, the third girl's marriage was worrying. She should cry in front of her wife again.
Just as she was thinking about her thoughts, she saw her daughter Lin Lan'er leading a black-clothed boy quietly into the courtyard. She couldn't help but caress her heart, and she wanted to faint and walked forward and grabbed her daughter's ear, scolding, "I've said it many times, but you just don't listen, and you told you not to learn well..."
"Mom, mom, it hurts, it hurts..." Lin Lan'er's eyes were filled with tears, and she begged for help from the boy in black. Her mother did this every time, and she didn't dare to scold her master, but she only dared to vent her anger.
The boy in black coughed a few times embarrassedly, then stepped forward to rescue Lin Lan'er's ears and hugged the petite Lin An, "Woman, just spare Lan'er, she just obeyed my orders..."
