After the Hou family's mistress was reborn, the entire Hou family suffered disaster

Chapter 150 Zhou Mansion

So everyone got up and walked to the backyard together.

After passing the Chuihua Gate, Madam Zhou, Jiang Fuyue and others went to the left, while the four ladies, Zhao He and Lu Yan, went to the right, and the group separated.

After walking forward for another quarter of an hour, Madam Zhou, who was walking at the front, finally stopped in front of a house.

Mrs. Zhou spoke with deep exhaustion in her tone: "Girl, this yard is always cleaned and it's clean. Just stay here. If there's anything you're not used to, I'll be in the house on the right. Just call me." Just tell me."

Jiang Fuyue said nothing, only nodded.

She wasn't so tired that she didn't want to talk originally, but now that a safe place to sleep was right in front of her, her difficulty inevitably increased a thousand times.

Seeing this, Madam Zhou and Zhou Wan no longer stayed any longer, turned around and walked back along the way they came.

Jiang Fuyue stepped into the courtyard, not even paying attention to the furnishings and layout of the courtyard, and went straight into the main house.

Guyu waited on her to wash up and undress, while Jingzhe turned around to make the bed. The two of them worked together quickly and in perfect harmony.

After everything was done, Jiang Fuyue went to bed. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she didn't know anything.

Jingzhe Guyu stood by the bed, looked at each other, shook his head and went out.

In this courtyard, except for Jiang Fuyue, the other people didn't even bother to wash their faces and went to find a private room to sleep.

-

When I woke up, it was pitch black outside the window.

As soon as Jiang Fuyue got up, Guyu heard the noise outside and came in to dress her up.

After adequate rest, Gu Yu was obviously much more energetic, and his steps were particularly brisk when he walked.

As soon as she came in, she walked straight to a half-person-high bamboo cage, took out a box from it, put it next to Jiang Fuyue, and then turned around to get some clothes.

On the way here, this box and cage had been placed in the carriage Bai Lu Hanlu was riding.

It was full of clothes and jewelry. In addition, it was a box filled with banknotes in denominations of one thousand taels and ten thousand taels.

Some of these bank notes were earned by Mrs. Zhou after she came to the capital, and some were obtained from Jiang Fuyue's dowry industry. They had accumulated a considerable amount over the years.

Jiang Fuyue took the box and took a look at it, then put the box under the quilt and got up to change clothes and make up.

After cleaning up, looking at Jiang Fuyue in the mirror, whose skin was still as white as gelatin and still gleaming white, Gu Yu, whose tanned skin behind her was tanned, couldn't help but feel a little resentful: "If I had known, this slave would have smeared mud on his face..."

Jiang Fuyue was too outstanding, and her snow-white skin was even more eye-catching, so Mrs. Zhou somehow fiddled with a bottle of yellow mud and asked Jiang Fuyue to apply it on her face.

Although it still can't cover up the unforgettable facial features, it can at least suppress the color so that people won't notice it at a glance.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Fuyue, who had been eating and sleeping in the open air all the way and had the worst complexion on the road, after washing off the layer of mud, was not tanned at all, and her skin was still as white, tender and moist as in the capital.

On the other hand, they all looked yellow from the sun.

It’s really hard not to be envious.

Jiang Fuyue was amused by her words: "Then when you go back, ask Madam Zhou to give you a bottle of mud."

Guyu pouted and said, "Forget it, I've already been sunburned like this, what else can I do?"

While talking, the master and servant walked out of the bedroom together.

Outside, Jingzhe has already set the dinner table.

Simple porridge and side dishes, in the eyes of Jiang Fuyue, who had eaten dry food for several days, now became a supreme delicacy.

She ate the food on the table elegantly and quickly.

A long-lost warmth spread from his stomach, extending to his limbs and bones, making him feel extremely comfortable. After eating and drinking, Jiang Fuyue finally remembered to take a look at the layout of the yard.

If you don't know it, this courtyard is actually larger than the courtyard where Jiang Fuyue lived in the capital. Although the decoration is far less exquisite and gorgeous than the houses in the capital, it is still elegant and pleasant.

More importantly, this courtyard should be called a house to be precise.

It actually has a front lobby.

The layout was similar to her house in Sweetwater Lane, but it was larger than the house in Sweetwater Lane. Three entries in total.

It's just that one of the courtyards is so big. I really don't know how much land this Zhou Mansion occupies.

Jiang Fuyue was wandering around the yard when Madam Zhou and Zhou Wan suddenly came over.

"I thought that the girl should be almost rested, so I wanted to come over and take a look." Mrs. Zhou had a good sleep and regained most of her energy. "How about, are you still used to living in this yard? If you are missing something, you can Just tell me!"

"Although the current situation does not allow the girl to taste the local flavor here, for other things, the girl can tell her whatever she wants."

Now I have everything but not much to eat.

Jiang Fuyue shook her head and said, "No need, there's nothing I'm not used to."

Nowadays, it is really difficult for her to be as particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation as before.

That's about it.

Zhou Wan from the back came up with a very sincere curtsey.

Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but feel helpless: "Wan'er, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so polite."

Zhou Wansheng was thin and tall, looking like a stick from a distance. Jiang Fuyue was really afraid that she would break herself.

Zhou Wan's face turned red and she stood up quickly. After seeing Jiang Fuyue, who was dressed in fine clothes and looking noble, she quickly lowered her eyes and did not dare to look directly at her: "I haven't learned much about etiquette. The girl is laughing."

Jiang Fuyue smiled and shook her head, then walked into the main hall and sat down with Madam Zhou and Zhou Wan.

Looking at Zhou Wan, Jiang Fuyue was a little curious: "How did Wan'er and Madam Zhou know each other? How could she be adopted as an adopted daughter?"

She saw that Mrs. Zhou was not very young. If she wanted a child, she could have one herself. Why would she accept an adopted daughter?

Zhou Wan said: "I was originally from the Guo Mansion. My mother was a maid in the study of the Guo Mansion. Later, she was forced by the young master of the Guo Mansion to have me. Later, my mother came to Liangzhou and the people she brought were taken by the Guo Mansion. The lady wanted to bring down the Guo Mansion in one fell swoop, so I played a part in it."

"After the fall of the Guo Mansion, I was recognized as an adopted daughter by my wife and brought to the Zhou Mansion."

Her tone was calm, and in a few short sentences she summarized the turmoil of the first half of her life.

Jingzhe Guyu looked at each other, and then looked at Zhou Wan with complicated expressions.

Although it was just a few words, they could feel that Zhou Wan's journey must have been difficult.

Jiang Fuyue couldn't help but remain silent.

When she was thinking about how to comfort her, Madam Zhou beside her couldn't wait to speak: "Girl, you can see the situation accurately. In this situation, I wonder...does the girl have any way to break the situation?"

After getting enough rest, eating and drinking, Mrs. Zhou felt a throbbing pain in her heart when she recalled what she had seen along the way.

She is good at doing business, but she is really not good at this aspect.

Therefore, even though she knew that Jiang Fuyue might not be able to recover yet, she still came.
