There were three rooms in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, which were clearly divided at first. The big room was in the middle, the second room was on the left, and the third room was on the right.
But later, the second bedroom gradually took up the main position. Although some of the main courtyards were not occupied, the others were basically fully occupied.
Especially now, there are only four main courtyards left in the big house, corresponding to the four former masters.
It is temporarily inconvenient to occupy the second room of the main courtyard of Zhengyuan Hou and his son, and the main courtyard of Yu Lanxuan and her daughter is because things are getting bigger and bigger. Although Ning had some ideas before, she did not dare to cause any trouble at this juncture.
Let's wait until the second wife gets the title. Then it will be theirs to occupy it and change it however they want.
However, although these four courtyards are still under the name of Dafang, they are becoming increasingly deserted. Even Yu Chengxuan's courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and there is no trace of the prince Zhengyuan Hou still there.
Standing in Yu Chengxuan's yard, Yu Xijiao looked gloomy. Her younger brother was still the legitimate Crown Prince of Zhengyuan Hou and the master of this mansion, but he had already fallen into such a situation. When his mother and she were here, everything about his younger brother
Everything remains the same as before.
Someone will be sent to clean it every day.
"I'll live in the courtyard next to Mrs. Hou." The old lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said.
Just now, I looked all the way around and saw a desolate courtyard. The old lady couldn't bear the tears anymore. She knew that Mr. Li was not a good person, but she didn't expect that she would actually do this. The real master of this house is Marquis Zhengyuan.
Prince, she just moved in because of her status as an elder, why would she dare to be so slow to treat the big room?
"Auntie, you live in Madam Hou's yard." Yu Xijiao shook her head, gave the old lady a hand, and said softly.
Mrs. Yu lived in the main courtyard. If the old lady lived in another courtyard, the momentum would be a little less.
"No need, I live in Ning's courtyard." The old lady shook her head, "Take me there and have a look. I think her daughter-in-law's courtyard won't be much worse than Mrs. Hou's!"
Yu Xijiao looked silently for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll help you go over and take a look. It might be closer to the Madam."
Ning's courtyard is indeed the main courtyard, and it is even the main courtyard that has been moved. Originally, this courtyard was the main courtyard. After the death of her father, her mother had to observe filial piety. Mrs. Yu asked Ning to take care of her nearby on the grounds that Ning's family wanted to take care of her nearby.
The family moved into the courtyard of the big house. The courtyard was not small and was originally planned to be used for the younger brother's marriage.
"Why are you afraid of being close? I will keep an eye on her when I move in, lest she behave like a monster again." The old lady said angrily.
Looking along the way, there is nothing I don’t understand. Mrs. Yu is clearly suppressing the first bedroom and giving all the good things to the second bedroom.
Compared with the ones in the big house just now, Ning's yard looks much more pleasing to the eye. At least it is not full of weeds. Ning's left not long ago. On the other hand, it has been taken care of by someone. At first glance, it looks like Ning's.
It was pretty much the same when I was here, everything was neatly arranged.
Comparing the two, Mrs. Yu felt more and more cold.
Everything inside seemed to have been cleaned at a glance, and there was no dust when she sat down. Yu Xijiao helped the old lady sit down in the main room in the middle.
"Let's just stay here. Everything is there, so we don't have to worry about things." The old lady looked around and said.
In her heart, she felt that she was here to guard the Zhengyuanhou Mansion for Yu Chengxuan. She could live anywhere, but she had to keep an eye on Mrs. Li no matter what. Based on Li's character, she would not look to her right. In the end, the Prince of Zhengyuanhou
When I came back, there was not only an empty frame left, but all the good ones were taken out by Li.
Mrs. Li stayed shamelessly. If there was no benefit, she would have taken her share to find her son.
She divided it into three parts, and gave them to whomever she lived with. Apparently, Mrs. Li felt that the benefits of her staying were more than three parts, and she even wanted them all.
"Third Miss, thank you very much this time." The old lady said sincerely, "Without you, I would not be able to let Yu Zhongyang out of the same room now. The Li family will definitely make more trouble now."
"Great aunt, can I also call you great aunt?" Yu Xijiao raised her eyes, a trace of moisture flashed under her eyes, and asked with a smile.
"Good boy, of course you can." The old lady patted her heart and said happily.
"Mr. Lanxuan County has a life-saving grace for me. I am willing to do everything for her, and I am willing to protect the Zhengyuanhou Mansion for her. As long as the Crown Prince of Zhengyuanhou comes back, it is just my identity... after all, I am just a relative of the same clan.
"Yu Xijiao said, "Fortunately, the old lady is here now, otherwise... I wouldn't be qualified to speak."
"Good boy... He is a good boy. Don't worry, I will stay here for the Crown Prince Zhengyuan from now on. Even if I die, I won't let the Li family take advantage."
The old lady said.
"Auntie, don't say such things, you will live a long life." Yu Xijiao gently pulled the old lady's sleeve and said coquettishly.
"Yes... I live to be a hundred years old, no matter what, I have to watch Mr. Li get his retribution." The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
While they were talking, a woman hurriedly came in from outside. She was brought by the old lady herself: "Old madam, some women are here to move things."
"What are you moving?" The smile on the old lady's face faded.
"It is said that these things all belong to the second wife. Now that we have separated the houses, we have to take all these furniture and other things with us." The mother-in-law looked at the various furniture in the house and knew at a glance that it was good, but
If they really move out, the old lady will have no place to find new furniture for a while, and it may be inconvenient to move in right away.
The old lady looked around and was about to nod when Yu Xijiao raised her lips mockingly: "Old lady, these furniture do not belong to the Ning family. This is a brochure sent by the third lady."
Before Yu Lanyun arrived at Zhengyuan Mansion, he helped Yu Xijiao tidy up the furniture in the mansion. When Ning was away, the third lady was the housekeeper, and Yu Lanyun was also a capable person. It didn't take long for her to organize all the furniture and other things used in each room in the mansion.
It indicates the original origin, especially this hospital.
It was originally prepared for Yu Chengxuan's marriage. Although Yu Chengxuan was young, he must be the future prince of the Marquis of Zhengyuan. The An family had also prepared it for him early. If there was anything good, he would sell it in and decorate it first. Duke Anguo also arranged it.
Some good furniture was delivered.
When Mrs. Ning first moved in, she used almost all the furniture in the house.
My mother was observing filial piety at that time, so it was inconvenient for her to argue with Mrs. Yu. Moreover, her brother was young, and Mrs. Yu had good reasons. She could only swallow her anger and wait until she had finished her filial piety before worrying about the matter.
When I came here today, I had already ordered Mingyue to find Yu Lanyun and ask for this booklet with clear notes.
"Old madam, please take a look. This is the booklet of the property in the mansion that Sister Yun gave me. This courtyard is full of large houses. Some of them were sold by Mrs. Hou herself, and some were given by An Guo Gongfu.
Some of them are from Mrs. Qi’s own dowry, and the source has been clearly stated.”
Yu Xijiao pushed the booklet in front of the old lady. The old lady nodded while reading it. After flipping through a few pages, she asked: "There are many things in the second bedroom that belong to the big one?"
"Yes... quite a few." Yu Xijiao nodded.
The old lady was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Do you have any other capable people around you? I'm afraid the people from Zhengyuan Hou Mansion won't let us use them."
At least not for the time being. With things like this, many servants are waiting to see which master will gain power next. Of course, some will directly follow the second wife.
"Don't worry, old lady. There are people left by my father outside the house to help. They have already taken the book to check. There are also people inside the house who are checking everywhere. The people inside the house are sent by the Yu clan. Since the family is to be officially separated, Yu
The madam is so partial, if she doesn't make preparations in advance, she may lose everything."
Yu Xijiao smiled slightly, her eyes sarcastic.
I deliberately copied a few more copies of the booklet because I was afraid that Yu Zhongyang would fish in troubled waters. Now the inner courtyard seemed to be fishing in troubled waters. I also disgusted the old lady and made it impossible for the old lady to enter the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion for the time being. If the old lady was allowed to live there first
Outside, prepare some furniture that is not on the countertop for the old lady. Even if the old lady moves in, she will be overwhelmed by Mrs. Yu.
Come on, you must come in today.
Furniture must not be taken away, no matter whether this person belongs to Yu Zhongyang or Mrs. Yu, he happens to be able to establish his authority...
Mingyue came out with Yu Xijiao's intention, stood in front of the courtyard door, looked up and down at the stewardess in front of her, stood still with her hands on her hips, and said with an arrogant look on her face: "What's going on? There are still people in your Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion?
No rules? Didn’t you notice that it disturbed our girl’s rest? If something happens to our girl, who will pay for it?”
When the housekeeper saw Mingyue, she knew that she was Yu Xijiao's maid. She hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "I've seen Miss Mingyue. I'm here to move the furniture in the second room. This is where the second lady lives. All the
The furniture all belongs to the second wife, and now the second bedroom has been divided. When the family was divided, we also said that it was the second bedroom that originally belonged to the second wife, and we have to move it out."
"I heard that this place once belonged to the first wife, and it was prepared by Mrs. Hou for the prince. When did it become the second wife's?" Mingyue sneered.
"This...that happened a few years ago. Since then, the second wife has been living there, and everything belongs to the second wife. Now that the two families are separated, people cannot say that the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion is coveting the second wife's possessions.
Take the dowry!" Taking advantage of the fact that others didn't know about the affairs of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, the mother-in-law said nonsense.
"Is it all the second lady's dowry?" Mingyue sneered.
"Of course they all belong to the Second Madam. Miss Mingyue also knows that the Second Madam's natal family and Concubine Ning's natal family are the same. The family is an aristocratic family, so it is normal to have some good dowry." The mother-in-law explained with a smile, and specifically mentioned Ning Concubine's natal family.
The concubine was pulled out and secretly suppressed the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
"The second lady's dowry? How much dowry does the second lady have? I heard that she originally lived in a broken house." Mingyue said disapprovingly.
"Miss Mingyue, please be careful what you say." The mother-in-law's face darkened, "That's..."
The mother-in-law wanted to warn Mingyue that it was Concubine Ning's natal family and it was not a shabby settlement.
Mingyue interrupted her directly and sneered: "I have a booklet here, which contains the origin of the furniture in each courtyard. It is clearly recorded in it. Our Lord Marquis specially asked someone to verify it. Everything here is from the big house.
Yes, your so-called second wife moved in directly without adding any furniture."
