Chapter 80
"No, you can deal with it." Yuan Zhao pushed the question to Ji Wu, and went to the ancestral hall followed by all the maidservants (under custody).

"Hey," Ji Wu looked at the back of the princess, with a helpless expression of "the face of a baby, it changes as soon as it is said", and said to the farmer who was still kneeling, "Get up, Lord Hou is sick in bed, and the little master is in a bad mood." I'm not happy, my words are a bit off-putting, brother Zhu Shou, don't be offended."

Ji Wu has always been kind and courteous to others, neither humble nor overbearing, and has good manners with everyone, but his charm is fully displayed when interrogating prisoners.

"Don't dare, dare not." Zhu Shou nodded and stood up, raised an ordinary face, and looked at Ji Wu hesitantly, "Then now..."

Ji Wu waved and said:
"The princess's temper comes and goes quickly, and you follow me to see the mistress. You can stay in the mansion only with her permission. By the way, Lord Hou just talked about Fujian city cuisine a while ago, and wait for Lord Hou to wake up." , you cook two dishes for him to taste."

"well."

Zhu Shou responded repeatedly, and followed Ji Wu, as if he accidentally saw the small chrysanthemum petal on his waist, picked it up, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

When they arrived at the North Courtyard, Jiang and Feng were discussing Sanlang's marriage in the main hall, sighing.Zhuo Ji and Lan Ji kept watch all night, Jiang Shi has sent them back to rest, and she will take care of them during the day.

Seeing Ji Wu coming in with a farmer, Feng stood up:

"My younger sister will go back to deal with the remarriage first, and Riyang will come over to replace my older sister."

As a show of respect, she never interfered with all the affairs of the Hou Mansion, including the way of employing people in the mansion.

"You can handle it with peace of mind. Master Hou has me watching, so don't rush over here." Jiang Shi nodded.

"Hey."

Feng bowed slightly to her, turned around, and left while the servants lowered their eyes and saluted.As soon as she left, Jiang's eyes fell on the farmer behind Ji Wu, with a puzzled look on his face:
"Who is this……"

"Mrs. Hui, this man's surname is Zhu and his name is Shou. He is a farmer whom Lord Hou met when he suppressed the rebels in Mincheng Town. His whole family was killed by the rebels, and Master Hou took pity on him. Seeing that he is a good cook, So I thought about giving him a job in the mansion..."

It happened that the princess was clamoring for a cook, so he asked him to settle his family's affairs before going to Nanzhou to seek a job.Unexpectedly, Zhu Shou encountered banditry again on the way, and when he arrived in Nanzhou after all the hard work, Lord Hou had already returned to Beijing for a long time.

No, he searched all the way and only arrived in the capital a month ago.

When he arrived in the capital, the mansion was busy with Sanlang's marriage, and Lord Hou was not free, so Ji Wu asked Ji Wu to put him in Zhuangzi first and wait for his summons.

Jiang Shi heard an important point from Ji Wu's thousands of words, Lord Hou wanted him to stay.

"The princess's child's temperament, one moment of this and another, is what Hou Ye is used to." She looked at the man a few times, and said, "Since you are here, you can stay. Hou Ye is still seriously injured. You should familiarize yourself with the environment first. Cook soup for Lord Hou tonight.

If he wakes up, he can just take one. "

Ji Wu is probably capable of bringing people in at this time.

"Thank you, madam! Thank you, Lord Hou! The villain will not disappoint Lord Hou and Madam." Zhu Shou was grateful and kowtowed.

Jiang Shi didn't talk too much, and ordered Ji Wu to arrange board and lodging for him, and let them leave.She entered Hou Ye's bedroom, looked at the drowsy man on the couch, stroked his frost-stained temples, and felt sore and unbearable.

In the first half of his life, he was carefree, playing in the world, leisurely and comfortable; in the second half of his life, he was exhausted and worked hard to save the lives of his children, so it was hard for him.

……

In the spacious ancestral hall, Yuan Zhao knelt on a thick cushion, looked around, and glanced at the ancestral tablets on the hall one by one, without any disturbance.

Mother asked her to think about it, what is there for her to think about?

If the ancestors in the hall had spirits, knowing that her grandson was despised and escaped from marriage, it would be strange to lift the coffin boards in anger, and they would definitely raise their hands in approval of her actions.

"Lian Shang," Yuan Zhao called the maid who came to wait outside the door, "go to my father's study and bring his "Records of Military Training"."

"But Princess," Lian Shang looked hesitant, and said softly, "Madam told you to think about it."

Jin Mei who was beside Mrs. Feng had already left, and the remaining maids were no match for the Princess.

"Thinking about mistakes is an excuse, and punishing kneeling is the original intention. Besides, if I say I think about it, will my mother believe it?" Yuan Zhao is reasonable, "An inch of time is worth an inch of gold. Instead of kneeling, why don't you just look at my father?" The book of war to pass the time.

It's better than I'm kneeling here, but I'm thinking about how to escape the siege of the mansion tomorrow. "

When Lian Chang heard it, it made sense, she was not afraid of the princess making trouble, but she was afraid that she would keep silent and make crooked ideas.The madam let her go, once the princess escapes, they will be spared the death penalty, and the living crime will be inevitable.

After thinking about it, he decisively took the order and left.

Before leaving, she told the sisters to keep an eye on the princess, and immediately rushed to hug her as soon as she moved, and tried her best to prevent her from leaving the ancestral hall.

Yuan Zhao who heard it clearly in the room: "..."

Tsk, a group of white-eyed wolves, it's in vain that she treats them well, eats her clothes and wears her clothes... Ah, I forgot, they eat food from Auntie and wear clothes given by Auntie, so they are not considered white-eyed wolves.

Hey, boring.

Soon, Lian Shang came to the ancestral hall with the Art of War written by Master Hou.On the short-footed case, put brushes, ink, paper and inkstones and other objects on the case, and read and practice calligraphy in front of the ancestral tablet.

During this period, all the sisters and sisters-in-law heard the news and came here to care and comfort.

Seeing her kneeling there quietly copying books, she didn't look like she was being wronged, so she didn't dare to disturb her, and left quietly with her companions.

The second elder brother is the son of the eldest son, and when the third younger brother divorced, he accompanied the second mother, the Feng family, to transport back the dowry from the Song family, and took back the dowry gift and marriage certificate by the way.

With the arrival of the two mothers, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Song family is still very good at handling things, with a face full of guilt and uneasiness, and keeps pleading guilty and apologetic.He also said that there is no need to return the dowry, it will be regarded as compensation to the Hou Mansion, and he will take the list to count and return the dowry in full.

Feng Shi came here in person to meet Song Jijiu, ah no, it was Song's assistant teacher.Since he wasn't here, she didn't want to stay any longer.As for taking Song Mansion's dowry as compensation, she didn't want it.

It has nothing to do with integrity, but the fear of falling into the shoes of others.

At this moment, the Song Mansion said it was compensation, and once it was publicized, outsiders would think that the Hou Mansion was poor and crazy, and would rather lose face than take the dowry of the orphan girl of the Song Mansion.They even think that as long as they have money to pay, the princes of the Hou family can be bullied.

Therefore, no matter how angry they were, the Feng family and the prince of the Hou family could only swallow this breath.

He took back the dowry gift and marriage certificate, and left in a huff.

The Song Mansion had finally sent away the eldest princess and his wife, and the Song Mansion's eldest daughter-in-law almost wept with joy. While cursing the shameless orphan girl in the second room, she hurried back to the inner room to tell her the good news.

Besides, Assistant Professor Song had been waiting for the reply from the Hou Mansion.After waiting for a long time, the Taifu sent someone to invite him again, and he solemnly asked the eldest daughter-in-law to wait in the mansion.When the people from the Hou's mansion come, you must delay and ask someone to call him back.

As a result, when he heard the news and hurried back, he found that the divorce was a foregone conclusion.Immediately beating his chest and stamping his feet, he pointed at his eldest daughter-in-law and said sadly:
"A woman's shallow opinion, she misunderstood my important matter! Misunderstood my whole family! You, you, you..."

He couldn't catch his breath and passed out.The people were frightened enough, and the house was in a mess.

The matter of the Song Mansion could not be revealed for a while, and the Hou Mansion was still in a gloomy state.The merchant's house adjacent to it saw so many soldiers surrounding the Hou's Mansion, and thought that the Hou's Mansion would be destroyed. Some felt sorry, while others were excited.

Prepare money and buy this mansion first when the time comes.
