Wudinghou Mansion
Ji Feifei was talking to Mrs. Li in Baoxia: "I haven't seen the second master recently. I heard from the concierge that he often sees the young master of the Zhao family looking for him. My mother said that the second master has been deceived, right?"
Ever since the Ruifuxuan incident happened, Ji Feifei has been a little frightened. After all, she is now connected to the Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Li fed Qi Jinxing a grape and said, "Don't worry about men's affairs. Take care of yourself! I heard that you don't deliver soup to Xuer's courtyard anymore. Why, weren't you very diligent before? Are you lazy now that you have it?"
"It's the second master who doesn't want to see me, so why should I step forward to make him unhappy?"
Ji Feifei scolded Mr. Li in her heart. If she hadn't taken the vacant housekeeping rights from her in order to coax Mr. Li, she wouldn't have been angry with the old man.
Just as he was talking, Xitao walked in and said, "Madam. The young madam asked your servant to bring the message. The Marquis will return to Beijing tomorrow. The young madam asked you to make arrangements."
"Where's Ji? Shouldn't she be the one to handle this kind of thing?"
"The old lady can't do without people, and the young lady can't free her hands. The young lady said that if you are not willing, you can also give you the old lady's affairs."
"Forget it, let her take care of the old lady with peace of mind!"
She didn't want to set foot in that dark place, so Li pushed Qi Jinxing up and asked Chun's mother to take him down.
Ji Feifei came forward diligently.
"Mother, you want me to come. I have learned how to run a house from my wife before."
"You, go back to the yard and stay there! Am I dead? There is no need for you to be courteous to the Marquis here!"
Li Shi scolded her harshly, and it took Ji Feifei a while to recover, stroking her chest in disbelief.
Xitao snickered on the side and said:
"Madam is very jealous. For someone with a 'criminal record' like my aunt, it's better not to get too close to the Marquis to avoid making Madam unhappy."
Ji Feifei's face was twisted, who did Li think she was? Do you think she can chew down any old tree roots?
There was a commotion in Baoxia and they broke up.
The next day, Wu Dinghou's carriages and horses entered Beijing. They first went to the palace to report their duties, and then arrived at the Hou Mansion around noon.
Ji Shu 'took care' of the old lady in Fushou Hall, while Li and Qi Chengxu in the front yard brought their people to greet Wu Dinghou.
Wu Dinghou went here because the emperor sent him to guard the various states to inspect the military situation and general affairs. Now that he has completed his duties, he is waiting to go on duty at the Ministry of War.
He came back for two days during the Chinese New Year, and he knew the general situation of the house, but this time he came back with an unfamiliar face. Wu Dinghou got off his horse and glared at Qi Chengxu angrily.
Mrs. Li sneered and protected her son, "Master Hou, you have worked hard all the way. Come in and have tea! Come in quickly, too."
The Marquis was followed by some retainers and his close deputies. According to the rules, he had to go to the front hall to drink some tea before settling in.
Mrs. Li had a busy day yesterday and thought she did a pretty good job.
After welcoming a group of people into the house and serving tea, the Marquis briefly asked about the situation at home, but did not ask who the stranger was just now, so as not to embarrass himself in front of outsiders.
However, the Marquis was always thinking about it and wanted to send the others away first, but just as he was about to speak, there was a commotion in the front yard.
Mrs. Li hurriedly ran out: "Who is it! He is seeking death! I didn't know there was a guest in the house!"
The boy ran over in a panic, "Madam, it's not good! Some horses went crazy and kicked people, and now they have come into the house——"
"Didn't I tell you to take the horse to the stable?"
"But there are too many, and I can't put them away. You didn't tell me in advance where the extra bolts were, so you just put them aside for the time being. Who knows..."
When Wu Dinghou heard it in the room, the veins on his forehead jumped.
The deputy got up and ran out, and soon had Ranma under control.
Wu Dinghou controlled his temper and said, "Thank you very much. Please follow me all the way. Go back and rest first."
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
The doormen and deputies left one by one, and Mrs. Li stood like a wooden post at the door, not smiling.
Several deputies glanced at her secretly, and when they saw that she didn't respond, they left with obscure expressions.
After everyone was gone, Mrs. Li called a few servants: "Smoke this place. It's full of the smell of their sweat. I don't like this group of people..."
"idiot!"
Wu Dinghou slapped the table, and his roar frightened Mrs. Li to shrink her neck and walk into the room like a quail.
"Master Hou..."
"Who arranged this in the house! Huh? Ma couldn't arrange it well! It's embarrassing in front of others! Who is it! Where is Ji Shu!"
Qi Chengxu: "Father, please calm down. My grandmother is ill, and Shu'er is taking care of her at Fushou Hall. The arrangements for the reception were made by my mother. It was her first time doing this, so she was not very skilled..."
"I knew it, I knew it was you!"
Wu Dinghou sighed, and the only thing Li could see was his face.
Mrs. Li cried and said: "Master Hou, I didn't mean it. I kicked someone, so I just pay him money. As for those retainers and reckless men, they are all members of their own family and they dare not tell them... "
"You still said! Just now you just watched them leave? Forget it about the retainers. Those deputies always follow me, but you didn't show any sign of it! You have lost the face of my Marquis!"
This kind of thing is difficult for Marquis Wu Ding to handle, so Li and the others have to handle it, but Li is acting like a fool!
Normally, Ji Shu would be dignified and majestic and stuff a banknote into one person. Who wouldn't say that Marquis Wu Ding treated his own people generously, and Li wanted to ruin his reputation!
"Where's Shu Shu? Where has Shu Shu gone?"
Ji Feifei: "Sister went to take care of the old lady."
Wu Dinghou stared at Ji Feifei for a few seconds, then suddenly thought, "Aren't you Shu Shu's sister?"
Li trotted forward, "I am now Xu'er's concubine!"
Wu Dinghou was so exhausted that he vomited blood and pointed at the mother and son, "Hey, hello, you are so ridiculous!"
"Master Hou..."
Wu Dinghou pointed at Ji Feifei, "Get out of here first! Get out of here, all of you!"
Ji Feifei and her servants hurriedly retreated. Wu Dinghou pulled Li and was so angry that he wanted to beat her.
"Xu'er is not sensible, and you are not sensible either? I've already let Ji Shu down with Brother Xing, why are you still doing this? You have to take her home?!"
"Dad! Listen to my explanation, this matter is all Ji Feifei's fault!"
Qi Chengxu explained the matter, and Wu Dinghou lost some of his anger. Qi Chengxu promised: "Dad, I have figured it out. I will treat Shu'er well and make peace with her."
"You'd better be." Wu Dinghou said.
He had chosen this daughter-in-law, and she was very satisfied with her conduct and conduct. Only then could she be worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Hou family. None of them could compare to Jiang Fu or Ji Feifei!
"You coax Shu Shu back quickly, I'm still waiting to hold Shu Shusheng's grandson!"
Mrs. Li couldn't hear this, "Mr. Marquis, you don't know that brother Xing is so successful. Not only did he enter Qingyun Academy, Master Zhu said that our brother Xing can also be admitted to Guozixue!"
Wu Dinghou was stunned, "Really?"
"Master Zhu said it himself, but it's still false."
Wu Dinghou's face turned slightly bright, "He is also an ambitious child. He must be nurtured well."
"Master Hou said that the Ji family is good, but the Ji family relies on this to be lawless. A few days ago, they forced Xu'er to adopt a son! Although she is not a member of the Hou family, she is really unruly."
Wu Dinghou and Qi Chengxu confirmed it and raised their eyebrows, "It's really outrageous. How could you neglect Brother Xing for someone who has nothing to do with you?"
"She doesn't have it either. Brother Xing and Brother Yuan both teach her the same way."
"It's been a long time since I last saw Shu Shu. Is she at the Fushou Hall? I'll go take a look."
Wu Dinghou asked about the old lady again on the road. Several people came to Fushou Hall. The situation here was worse than before, and everything was gloomy.
Mrs. Li took Wu Dinghou's arm and walked into the inner courtyard.
Song's mother was behind the curtain. After bowing, she said to the room: "Young Madam, the Marquis is here."
Ji Shu walked out of Nuan Pavilion and bowed Yingying, "Dad."
Wu Dinghou was startled and took a breath. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Shu Shu?"
