Chapter 13 The Rare Guest

Xin Yi was right. By the afternoon of the next day, Mo Xiaodie was released.

Siqin looked reluctant when she played her, and finally snorted at the sky and earth, turning around and leaving.

Mo Xiaodie said that she couldn't understand this wave of operations. Wei Ziyi really embarrassed the Hou's Mansion, but it wouldn't be that even a maid would have such a deep grudge against her!

Xin Yi saw Mo Xiaodie's serious and thoughtful expression, and couldn't help but laugh: "Madam, you don't have to think too much about this. Siqin is the wife's confidant. She has always regarded herself as half of the master of the Marquis's mansion in her words and deeds, so she naturally blames the lady in her heart.

What's more, the marriages of other wives in the Marquis's house will inevitably be affected in the future. When the fourth wife's wife's wife gets married, she is likely to have a dowry. If the fourth wife marrys the better, the better she will be taken away in the future, and the more secure she will have in the rest of her life. Naturally, she will dislike her every time."

Is this the reason... This legal behavior of ancient little tribes inevitably gave birth to a complete chain of interests.

Moreover, when you get married, you have to prepare a beautiful mistress for your husband. No wonder women in ancient times generally had not lived long and were frustrated!

Mo Xiaodie twitched slightly, nodded in admiration and said, "The women in the world are indeed little fairies from the sky."

Xin Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. Nowadays, the lady always pops up a few strange but quite funny words from time to time. She has become accustomed to it.

After a pause, she talked about the most important thing now, "By the way, madam, the eldest lady has come here and brought a rare guest!"

...

Xin Yi took Mo Xiaodie back to the room and washed it briefly.

The Hou Mansion is divided into the main courtyard, the west courtyard, the east courtyard and the back garden behind. Nanping Hou is the actual ruler of the Hou Mansion and lives in the main courtyard.

Nanping Hou's father died very early, leaving an old lady Wei living in the west courtyard, while the east courtyard was the second wife of the Wei family, namely Nanping Hou's younger brother Wei Cheng's family.

The two men in the big room lived in the east and west wings of the main courtyard, while the girls such as Wei Ziyi lived in the courtyard behind the main house.

Because the eldest daughter of the big house, Wei Ziqing, has been married, the people living in this yard are now Wei Ziyi, Guo’s daughter Wei Ziyu and a illegitimate wife Wei Ziling.

This time, Xin Yi was careful and first sent Chanyi away, and went to pick up Mo Xiaodie alone. He introduced Mo Xiaodie's mansion to him. After a rough introduction, he said: "Although the fourth lady lives with the ladies in name, most of the time, she would live in the Lotus Garden in the east corridor. The lady should not have much chance to meet with the fourth lady on weekdays."

Although Xin Yi was vague, Mo Xiaodie could still hear that the relationship between Wei Ziyi and this fourth lady should not be very good.

"The main courtyard where the Marquis lives is called Ronghua Hall, the old lady lives in Gaozhao Hall, and the second master lives in Sixi Hall.

When the eldest lady was still in the boudoir, she gave the yard where she lived a funny name, called Xianquyuan, which means that the ladies were idle in the yard every day and had nothing to do and could only have fun.

When the lady asked, the eldest lady said that this child refers to the things the girls from the Nanping Hou Mansion usually do, playing the piano, embroidery, and reciting poems... it is not just a leisurely fun.

The lady did not doubt that she had him, so she asked the eldest lady to use this name."

Perhaps because she remembered the simple and happy days before, Xin Yi couldn't help but smile.

Mo Xiaodie was impressed when she heard this. She wanted her to investigate the case and investigate the interrogation. Playing such an elegant word game really cost her life.

Xin Yi looked at Mo Xiaodie, and his heart was slightly bitter.

Thinking back to the beginning, the second lady was a woman who was even more talented than the eldest lady.

Her face was slightly dark, but she did not forget to remind her again, "The eldest lady was released with her eldest son-in-law after she got married. This was the first time she had come back in four years. I have already told her that her temperament has changed a lot because of this incident.

The wife has been married for half a year, and she has not returned to the Marquis’ Mansion except the day she returns to the house. Erlangjun has always been simple-minded and hasn’t seen her for so long. I see that he has accepted these changes from her wife.

As for the rest of the Hou Mansion, because the wife used to be very quiet and low-key, she did not go out often, so she rarely contacted them. Even if the wife had made a big change, they felt strange in their hearts and would not think deeply about it.

The girl Chanyi is the simplest and emotional. She cried to me all night yesterday and said that her wife was different from her former wife, but she had already blamed her for what happened to her in the past two days, and…”

Xin Yi paused.

Yesterday, the girl Chanyi told her with red and swollen eyes that she liked her current temperament. Following her current wife, she felt that they would no longer be bullied easily.

Seeing that Xin Yi suddenly stopped talking halfway, Mo Xiaodie couldn't help but look at her.

Xin Yi smiled and led her into a hanging flower door. The first thing that caught her eye was a screen wall carved with a whole lotus leaf and lotus, which was vivid and elegant, with a door on each side of the walls on both sides.

There is a small plaque on the door on the left, with the three words Xianquyuan written from right to left.

Xin Yi led Mo Xiaodie into the door on the left and smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's not an important thing.

After entering here, there is the courtyard where the ladies live. From the door to the right just now, it is the outer courtyard of Lady Lianxinyuan.

Lady, hurry up and wash it up, don’t let the guests wait for a long time.”

Mo Xiaodie is keen, so how could she not see that Xin Yi has something in her heart? Although she swore loyalty to her on the surface, it is afraid that it is not that simple to make her accept her completely.

She would not doubt the loyalty of her personal slaves to her master in ancient times, and how to grasp the subtle degree between candy and whip is a profound knowledge.

But this girl is smart. No matter how much she has, she knows that a little maid can't do anything.

Moreover, doing it would be useless to her. To be precise, as the personal maid of "Wei Ziyi", her fate is associated with "Wei Ziyi", just like a zither.

She just glanced at Xin Yi, then looked away and observed this leisure garden casually.

I saw that the yard was very spacious and spacious. There were four upper rooms on the north side and a small yard on the left, which was used as a bathhouse and a kitchenette.

According to Xin Yi, this small kitchen has another origin.

The fourth lady was born prematurely and was not in good health when she was a child and couldn't eat a lot of things. Guo set up such a small kitchen in Xianquyuan to make food for her.

However, later, the fourth lady basically lived in Lianxinyuan, and the kitchen was idle. However, occasionally the lady next to the big room would open a small kitchen for herself, but because the money for the small kitchen had to be paid by herself, it didn't take much time to use it.

Through that small cross-yard, you can directly reach the back garden.

However, such a spacious yard is very simple. There is only a large locust tree planted in the northeast corner. A swing for girls to play is placed on the locust tree.

In addition to the first glance, the stunning feeling brought by the complex layout of the mansion, Mo Xiaodie found that the Marquis' mansion was not as magnificent as she imagined. Whether it was decoration or planting flowers and plants, they were all ordinary, even simple. When it came to this leisure garden, the feeling was even worse.

She had already had some guesses in her mind based on the overview of the Marquis’ Mansion that Xin Yi told her.

After sorting out his own things, Mo Xiaodie followed Xin Yi to the back garden, and walked along the gravel-paved corridor to the northeast corner of the garden.

There is a pool there, with exquisite and translucent Taihu stones placed in it, and a group of colorful koi are also raised. There is a bridge on the pool that leads to the pavilion hidden deep in the opposite flowers and trees.

When he walked to the pool, Mo Xiaodie saw a maid standing on the bridge with a pink doll that was only a few inches above her knee. The doll held the railing with two small hands and squeezed its round head into the hole in the middle, and screamed excitedly: "Fish! There are fish!"

"Miss, be careful not to fall down."

"Catch fish and cook soup!"

Mo Xiaodie: "..."

I think that's her little niece, she seems to be a foodie.
