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

Chapter 28

After returning to Shaoguang Courtyard, Jingzhe took the maids and mother-in-law to settle down. Jiang Fuyue ate a few mouthfuls of food and then returned to the bedroom.

"Madam, you've been gone all afternoon, how can you just have a few mouthfuls of rice in the evening?" Gu Yu said as he brought a plate of snacks over, "This is made by Madam Lin. Madam Lin said that the stove in the kitchen is always warm. Here, there is porridge and snacks, they are all hot, please remember to give us instructions if you are hungry."

Jiang Fuyue nodded, letting Gu Yu loosen her hair and loosen her coat, then leaned on the couch, casually picked up a storybook and opened it.

Her eyebrows relaxed, her autumn eyes were filled with a faint smile, and she no longer looked tired at all. Under the dim light, she looked even softer and quieter.

Gu Yu sat aside, dozing off with his chin in one hand.

With a "squeak" sound, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.

Jingzhe walked in: "Madam, I have already made arrangements for the few people who were brought out from the Sanwu Xing. I asked my mother to take them to the side courtyard. Waiting for the madam to make other arrangements, the five that Madam Xie gave me, The slaves placed them in the back room and asked them to keep two to watch at night and three to do menial work in the yard during the day, and then take turns on a regular basis."

Jiang Fuyue nodded slightly, but still did not take her eyes away from the script: "You did a good job. You can arrange for someone to send the money to Jingke tomorrow."

"Yes."

After reading for a while, Jiang Fuyue felt sleepy and went to bed to rest. Only then did Jingzhe and Gu Yu leave.

As soon as the two went out, they saw two maids who were skilled in martial arts guarding the door of the bedroom on the left and right, with solemn expressions and straighter bodies than the night watchmen on the tower.

Jingzhe walked over and lowered his voice and said, "Relax, just sit on the corridor and watch. If you feel sleepy, get up and walk around to wake up."

Gu Yu also nodded and also lowered his voice: "Yes, if you act like this, others will be able to guess your identity at a glance, which will cause trouble for Madam."

The two maids looked at each other uneasily, and then nodded: "Don't worry, girls, we understand."

So the two maids sat down on the floor stiffly. Although they still looked a little too nervous, they were much better than before.

Jingzhe nodded and said: "Madam has gone to bed. There is food in the kitchen. If you are hungry, ask someone to get it. Madam needs to be guarded here at all times. Just be careful."

"Yes, thank you very much, girl." The two maids nodded quickly.

Jingzhe and Guyu then returned to the ottoman to rest.

Early the next morning, after Jiang Fuyue had freshened up, she was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, she stood on the porch and watched the maids she brought back yesterday helping the rough lady with work in the yard.

Compared with the rough ladies in the yard, except that their hands and feet are more agile, there seems to be no difference between them.

Jiang Fuyue looked at it for a while, then nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad."

Jingzhe and Gu Yu looked at each other and smiled together.

"Great, now even if the Marquis comes, we don't have to be afraid." Gu Yu's voice was very low, but the joy in it could not be suppressed.

Jiang Fuyue nodded slightly.

Now, she could finally feel relieved.

Now, all we have to do is wait for Shen Chuan to find the house, and then wait for Mrs. Zhou to come to Beijing.

Feeling relieved, Jiang Fuyue ate two extra bowls of breakfast this morning.

There was no movement in Shaoguang Courtyard, but the old lady's Songshou Courtyard was bustling with activity.

At this time, the old lady was sitting in the hall, still dressed in jewels.

She looked at the three graceful women standing in the middle of the hall with a smile.They were the ones Jiang Fuyue brought back yesterday.

The three of them had all put on clothes with exquisite fabrics, and their hair was carefully pulled up. The hair was decorated with pearls and jade, and a layer of rouge was applied to make it look even more refined.

The three of them were originally kept by the old lady because of their good looks. Now that they were dressed like this from head to toe, they no longer looked like maids at all, but like serious mistress girls.

"Yes, everything looks good after cleaning up!" The old lady nodded with satisfaction, "Did you learn how to serve a man in the three or five industries?"

The old lady asked straightforwardly, and several young women blushed in shame, lowered their heads, and said "yes" in a voice as quiet as a mosquito's.

They were originally trained and trained as maids of the house-in-law. Although they have not experienced it personally, they know everything they should know about serving men.

Now, the old lady was even more satisfied: "Well, not bad, not bad! You are young and sensible. What kind of life you are going to live in the future is all up to you."

The old lady paused, picked up the tea cup on the side, blew the foam on her head, and said with a profound expression: "Whether you are a master in this backyard and be served by others, or you are a servant who is serving others, you have to rely on it." It’s up to you to do your own thing.”

As soon as these words were said, the three women suddenly stopped being shy and raised their heads to look at each other, with a burning desire to win in their eyes.

Seeing this, the old lady finally bowed her head and drank tea with satisfaction, and began to think about Anyuan Hou in her heart.

I've asked Mama Liu to call him a long time ago. How long has it been? Why hasn't he arrived yet?
He must have been tripped up by Aunt Yun’s charming thing!
When she thought of Aunt Yun, the smile on the old lady's face disappeared. She put the tea cup aside heavily with an angry look on her face.

The old lady's face suddenly changed, and the three of them immediately calmed down and walked aside to stand quietly.

After about a cup of tea, Marquis Anyuan arrived belatedly.

He still looked disheveled, his hair was not tied up at all, and he looked as if he had just gotten out of bed.

The old lady frowned dissatisfied and said: "What time has it been? You don't know how to pack up and come back!"

Marquis Anyuan sat down on a chair and yawned lazily: "What can I do at home? Why did mother ask me to come here so early in the morning?"

The old lady rolled her eyes in anger at his lackluster appearance.

What an early morning!

It's almost noon!
The old lady silently recited "This is her biological son" several times in her heart, then she managed to suppress her anger and waved to the three women to come forward: "These are the ones Fuyue personally selected from Sanwu Xing yesterday and brought back. , take a look.”

Anyuanhou's eyes swept over them without even a pause. Instead, he looked at the old lady: "Did she find it for me?"

He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

"Yes." The old lady nodded.

Anyuan Hou also changed his expression.

He flicked his sleeves and said: "Since my good wife picked it for me, then I should accept everything else I'm looking at!"

After the words fell, several women showed a bit of joy on their faces.

Only the old lady noticed that something was wrong with him.

However, Marquis Anyuan had already stood up and strode away, so the old lady had no choice but to swallow back what she wanted to ask.
