Wen Wan really didn't know that at this time, the stepmother whom she had never met before was being disciplined by the wife of the Hou Mansion.
After listening to An Xiangxiu's words, Mrs. Anlehou praised and said, "You are going to take the princess's daughter back to the house. This is the right thing to do. It is in vain for what I taught you last time. You must remember that even if the child is mute, the child will still be alive." It is also the flesh and blood of the Tian family. It has been left on Zhuangzi like this. Once someone takes it away in the future, it will cause big trouble. Now the emperor does not remember Princess Fuhui, but if he remembers it, or the Su family hears something. The news is not good for the Fifth Master or the Marquis."
"I'm just worried that it won't be easy to educate her after she is brought back. I'm afraid that she will harbor resentment." A woman said weakly. His eyes were full of worry.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. Invite the nanny to come over and teach her the rules. After all, you can be considered half of her mother." Mrs. Anlehou said lightly.
An Xiangxiu's face turned red because of this half-mother, and her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
"This matter is related to the future of the Hou family's face. You have to know that even if the child is mute and unlovable, she is also the direct bloodline of the Holy Emperor. You should know that nothing can compare with the relationship between the emperor and the ministers of the Tian family. "If you break the rules, not only Ping Xiangxi will be implicated, but our Hou family will also be involved, so you'd better put away those inappropriate thoughts and teach that child good etiquette and rules." A good dowry, and you will find a good family for her in the future. If you have fulfilled your duty, everyone will praise you for your virtuousness and will stop gossiping about you. Don't go against me in any way." Mrs. Hou said solemnly. An Xiangxiu lowered her head.
"Yes, mother." An Xiangxiu clenched her fists. This damn old woman just doesn't like herself. I just want to make my life unsatisfactory.
"If you have thoughts that you shouldn't have, I will never forgive you. Don't think that no one cares or pays attention to this child now. You can do whatever you want. Of course it's okay not to tell, but once something happens to this child, , someone will hold you accountable. When the time comes, you won't be able to bear it. I won't tell you more. Remember my words, if that child has any shortcomings, you will no longer be my home. People." Mrs. Hou's words were as cold as bones, making An Xiangxiu shudder, and she responded very respectfully and carefully. Mrs. Hou was too lazy to look at her and asked her to go down to see her aunt.
"This old immortal is still threatening me. Why doesn't she die?" An Xiangxiu shouted resentfully, her whole face twisted.
"Miss, please bear with me, this is the Marquis Mansion." The maid who was close to you said in a low voice.
"I'll just put up with this old lady. Anyway, it looks like she won't live much longer. I think she can still be arrogant for a few more years." Holding the handkerchief, she went back.
"Madam, why are you doing this? The Marquis doesn't appreciate you doing this for the Hou Mansion." Mrs. Hou's personal mother said reluctantly.
"No matter what, we can't let such a woman harm the Hou family." Mrs. Hou shook her head.
"There are so many things. Even if she is the daughter of the princess and the emperor's granddaughter, it doesn't matter. The emperor has so many grandchildren, how could he remember her? Madam, you are so worried." Mom. Advise.
"The flesh and blood of the Tian family are the flesh and blood of the Tian family after all. There is also a Su family involved in the process, so we have to be careful. If the third girl really dares to have murderous intentions, then the child is gone. It's okay if we don't pursue it. Once it is pursued, it will definitely be implicated. The entire Hou Mansion. You don't know how powerful it is. If you knew it, it wouldn't be so easy." Mrs. Hou shook her head worriedly.
"If they really care, why have they ignored you for six years? Madam, what are you worrying about? Just let them go! There are still Marquises on your side, please rest more." Mom still can't understand what Madam is doing. worry about what.
"I know what you mean. I'm just just in case. I also hope that my worries are unnecessary." Mrs. Hou shook her head and suppressed all the thoughts in her heart.
In the embroidery room, everyone is gossiping again. Yixiu Niang said with envy, "You know? Miss Zhu'er has been spotted by the eldest son of the Weiyuan Hou family, and will be sent there in two days. As soon as she passes by, she will be my aunt, and she will fly up the branch and become a phoenix."
Wen Wan was very surprised, that girl Zhuer was not the same as the one she had seen before. Just like that, it was given away. I gave it away and was said to be a good fortune.
Wenwan doesn¡¯t always understand some of the strange rules in this society. After returning home, I asked Lianzi. It took Lianzi a long time to understand what Wen Wan was asking.
"Of course, she can be favored by other masters, and it was sent to her by our Marquis. Even if she has passed the mansion, even if she is an aunt, her status is still high." Lianzi found Wen Wan's gentleness amusing.
Wen Wan is depressed. Being an aunt means you are also a slave!
"you're right,My aunt is also my master¡¯s slave. Children born in the future can only call their aunt mother their mother. I would rather marry an ordinary person and live a simpler life than be someone else's aunt. "Lianzi's eyes flashed with perseverance.
In Wen Wan's eyes, it was still strange. But Lian Zi didn't say anything more, and Wen Wan couldn't ask any more questions.
Wenwan is very low-key in Anlefu. Of course, the result of being high-profile is losing your life. I only wander around the embroidery room and the place where I live. She doesn't go anywhere else. Only when Qiao Xiu Niang took her to deliver clothes, in order to familiarize her with the road, would she walk around. Wen Wan also knows a few routes. In other places, they are unwilling to take an extra step and show no meaning at all. Therefore, he lived in the Hou Mansion safely for a while.
"Follow me and take these clothes to the main room." On this day, Qiao Xiu Niang led Wen Wan to find the way. Wen Wan followed Qiao Xiu Niang and carefully held up several dazzling embroidery items. Slowly followed Qiao Xiu Niang.
Wenwan didn¡¯t know how long she had been walking, but she knew that the surrounding scenery was as beautiful as a painting. After walking for half an hour, we passed through several courtyards and entered a large courtyard. Then passed through the hanging flower door, followed the corridor, and arrived at the entrance hall. Wen Wan saw a screen with a red sandalwood frame placed in the middle. Once inside, everything was exquisitely decorated. Wen Wan secretly thought about how much it would cost!
"Mom, I have sent you some pieces of embroidery that Madam asked for." Qiao Xiu Niang said very respectfully. A woman wearing a dark gown asked them to enter.
Wen Wan came to the Hou Mansion for the first time in nearly two months. As soon as they entered the main courtyard, the maids were all dressed in red, green, gold and silver. A land of wealth and prosperity. The curtain was opened and people were let in. Wen Wan also went in holding something.
Wen Wan secretly wondered why she was allowed to go to the bedroom and meet the mistress! Something is wrong. Is there something fishy here? Isn't Qiao Xiu Niang too kind to me?
As soon as I entered, I looked at the girls in the room. They were all very beautiful. Wen Wan didn't blink for a long time and couldn't even look at her. I stared at it blankly for a long time. This must be a beauty pageant.
"Look, this little girl doesn't even blink when she looks at the girls in our house. Little girl, what are you looking at? What are you looking at so fascinatedly?" A gentle-looking old woman asked with a smile.
Next to her, a sister wearing an orange flower braid, a light yellow pleated skirt, and a red gold and gemstone hairpin on her head took over the work in Wen Wan's hands. As soon as Wen Wan's hands were free, she gave a thumbs up, meaning good.
"You mean the sisters in the house are all very beautiful." Wen Wan listened and pointed to the beauty painting on the wall. It means that the girls in the house are as beautiful as the fairies in the paintings.
"Although this child can't speak, he is quite clever." The woman chuckled. The maids next to her also covered their mouths and smiled.
Who doesn¡¯t like to be praised? Wen Wan laughed shyly after hearing this.
"Bring the little maid in." A gentle voice fell behind, and everyone immediately silenced their voices. Wen Wan was led in.
As soon as you enter, you can smell the fragrance, which is lily spice. Wen Wan didn't dare to look around. As soon as she entered, she lowered her head and lowered her voice. She had been taught this.
"This is Madam, I have seen Madam." Qiao Xiu Niang called.
Wen Wan hurriedly knelt down. He kowtowed three times to the woman sitting above him in a very polite manner. During the handover, Wen Wan saw a pair of beautiful embroidered shoes with pearls on them. Wen Wan looked at it, thinking that this pearl was so beautiful.
"Raise your head." Wen Wan raised her head, glanced at it, and quickly lowered her eyes. All I know is that the woman in front of me, dressed richly and about fifty years old, seems to have a benevolent appearance. But there was panic in Wen Wan's eyes, and her hands were shaking and trembling slightly.
"They say that a child as timid as a mouse came into the embroidery room, and he will look at it now. Girl, does it look so scary to me?" Mrs. Hou said with a smile.
"Madam, don't be surprised. It's just like this. I've been training her for more than a month and it's still like this. But she is diligent and not lazy in her work. She is also smart, but she is timid." Mrs. Qiao Xiu Niang was not angry when she saw this, but she just felt that there was something wrong. Interesting, I only explained two sentences.
"She looks like a sweet and well-behaved child. It's pitiful that she can't speak at such a young age. Come here, give this child two ounces of money to buy food, and give her a set of clothes." After receiving the reward, Wen Wan went out. . I got two bucks, which looked like a lot.
Wen Wan took the money and kowtowed three more times. Then the girl took him out.
"This is candy for you, you are such a poor child." The maid who helped her get her clothes put two bags of various candy canes in Wen Wan's pocket. Wen Wan gave her a blessing and thanked her gratefully. The maid looked at Wen Wan with pity in her eyes.
Mother Qiao Xiu comes outThere is always a smile in my eyes. Wen Wan finally knew why she took her to the sex room. It turned out to be just for the reward. As soon as she arrived at a deserted place, she gave the money and fruit to Qiao Xiu Niang in a gentle and obedient manner. Qiao Xiu Niang happily accepted the money and fruits. But she still had some conscience, so she didn't ask for the clothes, mainly because the children in her family were older than Wen Wan, so she wouldn't be able to wear them when she went home. Fortunately, I have some conscience and left some fruits for Wen Wan.
Wenwan got a real benefit, that is, she got a blue double-breasted satin dress. This is a real bargain. It's very cool and comfortable to wear.
As for candies, there are many varieties, including pomegranate, apple, banana, and osmanthus. I peeled off a candy, put it in my mouth, and chewed it. It was sweet and tasted really good. I didn¡¯t expect that people in ancient times were also very powerful. Wen Wan was very happy and ate two. He returned to the bedroom and gave it to Lianzi and asked her to choose. Lian Zi ignored Wen Wan's kindness and took two.
Shanshan looked at it with disdain, not forgetting to look at Wen Wan with contempt. Wen Wan rolled her eyes inwardly, "Please, I'm only six years old now. What will a six-year-old child eat if he doesn't eat candy?"
It was very late that day, and Amber didn¡¯t come back. Wen Wan felt very strange, but after being here for almost two months, she knew that as a servant, she should talk less, let alone be curious. Otherwise, you won¡¯t even know how you died. But in my heart, I was thinking, I won¡¯t take the coral route again! It shouldn't be that stupid!
"Why hasn't Amber come back so late? Did something happen?" Lianzi said worriedly. Shanshan said nonchalantly, this is the mansion, what can happen. If something happened, he was asking for it. After muttering a few words, the three of them fell asleep.
Wenwan didn¡¯t sleep, but she was lying on the bed thinking, wouldn¡¯t she climb into bed again? As a maid, why do you like to climb on the bed so much? Is being an aunt so good? She's not even someone else's little wife.
At this time, Shanshan was looking at Amber's bed with a dazzling light. Wen Wan didn't know and had no intention of asking. Lianzi and Shanshan, who were born in the same family, knew that Amber was different from Coral, and neither Coral was as eager for quick success or quick gain. Otherwise, they would have become aunts long ago. There is another example of coral, and the color of amber is one of the best in the mansion. It is probably that someone has taken a fancy to it, and this time I took the opportunity. I want to be a master.
Early in the morning of the second day, Wen Wan was still making the bed when she saw Amber come in. Faintly, there seemed to be red marks on his neck.
"Sister Hubo, congratulations, congratulations." Shanshan immediately went up to flatter her, and Lianzi also went up to congratulate her. Wen Wan didn't understand what was going on, so she looked at them strangely.
"I won't need these in the future. I'll give them to you two without losing the friendship between us." Amber began to pack things, and put away those things that she probably wouldn't need in the future, such as her purse, rouge, gouache, etc. He gave it to Lianzi and Shanshan, completely ignoring Wen Wan. Wen Wan lowered her head, put away her clothes, and waited until she had time to wash them at noon.
After distributing the things, Amber glanced at Wen Wan and smiled meaningfully. Then he left. She looked at Wen Wan inexplicably. Shanshan looked at Wen Wan with some jealousy, but Lianzi looked at Wen Wan with complicated eyes, and Wen Wan was confused. Where did this singing come from? These ancient women were more thoughtful than the other.
