Knowing that his third son had returned to Beijing, Marquis Wu An deliberately asked for leave and returned home. The Habayashi Guard where he is located is camped in the northern suburbs of the capital, guarding the imperial capital.
It takes three hours to ride a horse from Daying in the northern suburbs to the capital. As soon as Marquis Wu An entered the mansion, he went straight to the courtyard of the third son. He couldn't find anyone, so he went to Mrs. Hou in the backyard, "Where is the third son? Didn't you say he came out of the palace? Where is he?"
Mrs. Hou was holding a cat in her hand. Hearing this, she looked at him faintly, "Don't you know where he went?"
"He went to Peach Blossom again?!" Marquis Wu'an was furious, "This evil one!"
Every time the third child returns to Beijing from outside on business, the first one to go back is not Houfu, but Taohuali. It's just such a small broken yard, what's so good about it? However, he, who is an old man, still has nothing to do with him.
"He's trying to **** me off." Marquis Wu An forcefully put the teacup on the table, looked at Mrs. Hou, very dissatisfied, "Don't you talk about him, let him go on like this?"
Mrs. Hou glanced at him, and said slowly: "It's the father's fault if the son doesn't teach. Don't all the men in the mansion should be taught by Lord Hou? Boss, second, third and fourth, will you let me intervene?" ?”
They talked about four sons, but they both knew that Mrs. Hou was talking about the second and fourth sons, who were bastards. Marquis Wu An loved his second son, and Aunt Ding cried from time to time. Marquis Wu An was also afraid that Mrs. Hou would intentionally raise and abolish the concubine, so he refused to allow Mrs. Hou to intervene on the grounds that the son should be taught by his father.
Now hearing Madam Hou say this, Marquis Wu An also looked a little embarrassed, "How old is this old calendar, and you still mention it?" Women are narrow-minded.
Madam Hou turned her face away, hiding the ridicule in her eyes. She is not an ignorant woman, how could she deliberately raise a bastard? At most, she didn't care that much. When did she withhold what she should have?
With a biological mother like Aunt Ding, what kind of promising son can she teach? Master Hou has taught the second child for so many years, and what has he taught? Isn't the second child dawdling in the Jinwu Guard now?
She doesn't need to take action to suppress it, the second child is like this, she is afraid that raising him will become a drag on her son.
To be honest, Master Hou himself is of mediocre aptitude. His father-in-law, Master Hou has taught him for many years, and now he has only climbed to the position of the third rank. As far as this is from the third grade, there are still many favors from the father-in-law in it.
At the beginning, the heir my father-in-law was looking for was actually my uncle. My uncle was smart and talented in martial arts, and he was better than the big brother Hou Ye in everything.
But Master Hou is the eldest son, the father-in-law has no choice but to bring him by his side and try his best to teach. Afraid of rivalry between brothers, he arranged for my brother-in-law to work outside Beijing.
The third child has also been in the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple for six years, and he has done a lot of meritorious service in these years. The reason why he can't be promoted is not because of Lord Hou?
If the third child is promoted again, his grade will be higher than that of Lord Hou, and the grade of his son will be higher than that of Lao Tzu. The emperor also has to consider the mood of Lord Hou, right?
Seeing that Madam Hou was lukewarm, with a drooping face, Marquis Wu An was also annoyed, and left with a flick of his sleeves.
He is not only the third son, the eldest still respects him as a father, the second is even more caring, and the fourth is also sensible and well-behaved.
Thinking like this, Marquis Wu An turned around and went to Aunt Ding's yard.
After receiving the report, Madam Hou didn't even lift her eyelids, she stroked the big white cat in her arms with one hand, and said meaningfully: "A man is sometimes worse than a beast."
She is already old, and her thoughts of love and love have long since stopped. As for Aunt Ding, what flowers can she find?
Wen Jiuxiao's mood is different when he comes to Taohuali this time, and every time he sees the plants and trees here, he will mourn in his heart.
Now, everything feels kind to me!
These clothes look good on that woman! It's a pity that the styles are all out of date. He wants to make a few more for her, choose the colors she likes, and make the most fashionable styles in Beijing.
No, no, how many bodies are enough? At least a dozen or twenty outfits are needed, do a lot, and then let her wear them one by one for him to see.
Wen Jiuxiao's mouth curled up, and a smile flashed across his face. If the people of the Hou's mansion saw it, they would be shocked. Would the third master laugh? How could the third master laugh?
"Qingfeng." He yelled subconsciously, and only after he finished shouting did he realize that Qingfeng was left by him in Ancheng. Then Ming Chan, this kid still has a bit of spirituality, so let him teach him how to make clothes for Yu Zhi.
There is also jewelry, and I have to buy a few more boxes for her to make up for the emptiness of the past five years. Doesn't she like dazzling gems? Wen Jiuxiao was already thinking about what other attractive gems were in the treasury of the mansion and his private treasury, so he took them out and inlaid them on her head.
In the past few years, because of a bad mood, he didn't bother to hand over the rewards he got to the public treasury, and piled them all up in his private treasury. Fortunately, he didn't hand it over to the public, Wen Jiuxiao thought of that brat who thought he was wasting money all the time, if he didn't have any assets, what would he use to please his wife and children?
He is also a family man now, and it takes a lot of money to support his family, so he will not be so generous in the future. Even the eldest brother, those calligraphy and paintings can no longer be given to him, even if they are brothers, but everyone has married and have children, so the family should be the most important thing, and the wife and children should be the most important.
Finally, Wen Jiuxiao took out the unlocked box again, and fiddled with the banknotes and house deeds inside, thinking of the missing household registration post, Wen Jiuxiao's breathing tightened.
That woman had been prepared for a long time, maybe when he said that he wanted to bring her into the mansion as a concubine, he had no intention of getting rid of her, right? This heartless woman, what dissatisfaction can't she tell him? You must leave him and run alone!
Hmph, just a heartless one!
Wen Jiuxiao, who was sulking for a while, soon felt distressed again. Forget it, she can't blame her entirely. She was young and alone at that time, so even if she had something in her heart, she probably didn't dare to say it. She must have been so afraid and helpless at that time.
In the past few years, she has also suffered a lot. She took the cub by herself and raised him so well, so he didn't care about her. Let's make up for the mother and son in the future.
Wen Jiuxiao put all the things in the room in order before preparing to leave.
At the door, I met Mama Jiang and Cherry, who were selling sauce-flavored cakes, "Master, you're here." The two hurriedly saluted.
Wen Jiuxiao nodded, his eyes flickered, and he ordered: "Haosheng tidy up the yard, it must be exactly the same as it was five years ago, she is coming back." There was joy in his voice that he hadn't noticed.
who? Who is coming back? Jiang's mother and Yingying were at a loss. Seeing the joy flashing across the third master's face, they were shocked, "Third master, is the girl coming back? The girl is still alive, right?"
Excited and unbelievable.
Wen Jiuxiao nodded, "Yes, she's still alive, and she's coming back soon." His eyes softened as he looked at the two of them, "Everything she likes is prepared for her."
"Hey, hey." Mother Jiang and Cherry wept with joy, unable to utter a word.
Great, the girl is still alive, the girl is coming back, they have something to rely on, and they are no longer in the middle of the sky like they are now.
