Chapter 35
Xie Xun took care of Feng Yu's affairs, washed up briefly, put on a black robe and went to find Mrs. Hou.Mrs. Hou sent someone to look for her, and told him to go look for her in the courtyard after dinner.

When Xie Xun came, Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Mudan were also there. They were playing leaf cards with Mrs. Hou. Mrs. Peony leaned against Mrs. Hou weakly and acted like a baby. Mrs. Hou pinched her face with a smile, and the three of them laughed. Make a ball.

Xie Xun, "..."

Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Mudan are both concubines of the Marquis of Zhenbei.When Marquis Zhenbei got married, he didn't have a concubine. After marrying Mrs. Hou, he played harmoniously.Mrs. Hou was in danger when she gave birth to Xie Junhua, and the doctor judged that Mrs. Hou could not have another child.Mrs. Hou neatly took concubines for Zhenbei Hou, and she took a fancy to Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Mudan.Mrs. Lan gave birth to Xie Zhang, the eldest son of Zhenbei Hou, and Mrs. Mudan gave birth to her second son, Xie Jue. Both children were recorded under Mrs. Hou's name since childhood.The scandals such as wives and concubines competing for favor among the big families did not happen in Zhenbeihou.Zhenbei Hou's wife and two concubines get along very well, as close as sisters. When Xie Xun was a child, he once thought that Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Mudan were his mother's concubines, not his father's concubines.After growing up, she firmly believed that Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Mudan were chosen as concubines by her mother because she liked them.

"Zhixu is here, hurry up and sit down!" Mrs. Lan greeted him affectionately, "Help me teach them a lesson, my sister cheated and bullied me with Mudan."

"Just call me to play cards?" Xie Xun sat next to Mrs. Lan, and looked at her cards, "Mother and Aunt Mudan didn't cheat, and you lost too. This card is not good."

Mrs. Lan played tricks and flipped the cards, "I don't want to play this round, come again."

"You really can't afford to lose." Mrs. Peony sat up straight, covered her mouth with a smile and said, "I know, playing cards is fake, we found you a good job."

"I don't believe it!" Xie Xun leaned lazily on the back of the chair, "What are you trying to do?"

Mrs. Hou had a bright personality, and said with a smile, "The day after tomorrow, King Qi held a riding and shooting banquet, and I asked for a post. You can go and see if there is any girl you like."

"Looking at the beauty, is it a good job?" Mrs. Peony asked jokingly.

"Second brother hasn't gotten married yet, why is it my turn?" Xie Xun moved out Xie Jue.

"Your second brother's temperament should be hopeless." Mrs. Peony is lively and cheerful, but she gave birth to a wooden son, which is quite helpless. "After you make a decision, we will have the nerve to force him."

"I've already thought about the reasons. If you don't want to get married, my younger brother wants to be single with you. It's not appropriate." Mrs. Lan shared the cards and asked Xie Xun, "What kind of girl do you like?"

"I don't like girls!"

Mrs. Hou and the two wives were silent for a moment. Mrs. Hou asked, "Then what kind of man do you like?"

"Mother!"

Madam Hou was straightforward, "Are you going?"

"Go!" Xie Xun was not afraid of anything since he was a child, and dared to pat the table to challenge Zhenbei Hou, but he couldn't do anything about the three women in the family.The men of Zhenbeihou's family dote on their women very much.

"I think Lin Yunong is very good. I also love Zhixu. She looks good and is also a cousin. She knows everything about her and makes her even closer." Mrs. Lan said.

Mrs. Zhenbeihou dotes on Mrs. Lan and Mrs. Mudan very much, and there is no rule that concubines do not go out to socialize. She takes them everywhere, even when she goes back to her natal home. The two of them can also go out to socialize alone. They should be the only ones in Kyoto. The concubines who were discriminated against were mainly because no one dared to show them face.

"No!" Mrs. Hou said, "I have a big temper, and I can't get along with Zhixu."

"How about Princess Xuelan? She has a good temper." Mrs. Peony said, "I like her, she looks so good."

"This is so obedient." Mrs. Lan shook her hand, looked at her leaf card, and played one, "I know that if I marry her, I will definitely find her boring."

"Lin Yuyan can do it too, she looks good too..."

"You should know that Xu Hung does not choose what to eat, what kind of thing is she on your list?" Mrs. Lan scolded her.

Madam Mudan's eyes turned red, and she put her arms around Madam Hou to complain, "Sister, she scolded me again."

Madam Hou faced the delicate and delicate Madam Peony, and it was difficult to keep a bowl of water flat, "Lan'er, speak well."

Mrs. Lan kicked Mrs. Mudan under the table, and Mrs. Hou said, "Actually, I think there is someone who is quite suitable, but I don't think so."

"Who?"

Xie Xun couldn't listen anymore, "I'm still here, it's not appropriate for you to talk about others like this, so I'll go first."

Mrs. Hou grabbed him and pressed him on the chair, "Shu'er's younger sister is very nice, her name is...what's her name?"

Xie Xun, "?"

Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Lan like Feng Shu very much. They think she is a model daughter-in-law of everyone. As long as Feng Shu is in Beijing, she will come to Hou's mansion every now and then, and occasionally bring Feng Yu with her.

"Feng Yu?" Mrs. Lan was astonished, compared her shoulders, and then pressed down very rudely, "That little one?"

Mrs. Mudan propped her chin, "Shu'er didn't bring her to the Hou Mansion for the past two years. At that time, she looked cute, cute and smart, but now I heard that she is stupid, and she has such a bad reputation after retiring the engagement."

"Hey, do you know how famous Xu is?" Mrs. Hou mocked Xie Xun, and took Mrs. Lan's card.

Xie Xun instructed Mrs. Lan to play a card, "Play this one!"

"Isn't it appropriate? I don't know if the rumors are true or not. Wait for Shu'er to come back and ask. Even if it's false, why do I think it's so small..." After Madam Lan played her cards, "Zhixu, have you seen Feng Yu?"

"I don't know!" Xie Xun was expressionless.

Mrs. Hou said, "The main reason is that Yuxue is cute, and I can raise her as a daughter."

"Mother, I marry a wife, not you want a daughter." Xie Xun finally understood what criteria she used to choose a concubine for her father back then, and it really was based on her own preferences.

"I like it, how can you hate it?" Mrs. Hou said, "Mother and child have the same aesthetics."

"That's far away." Xie Xun instructed Mrs. Lan to play a card. After Mrs. Lan played the card, Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Peony realized that they had lost. Mrs. Lan was excited, "Win, win, I finally won!" .”

Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Mudan didn't believe that Mrs. Lan had won. Xie Xun got up, "I will go to the riding and shooting banquet the day after tomorrow. I will leave first if I have nothing to do."

Xie Xun quickly slipped away without waiting for their reaction.

Hearing their laughter again before leaving the yard, Xie Xun's face softened a bit. They fought bloody outside just to protect such laughter.

 The order of 34 and 35 is wrong, dear friends, I am sorry, there is a problem with the timing, you can try again.
