The Hou Mansion occupies a large area and is built near the lake. It is not a luxury house, but it is definitely an elegant mansion. In addition to the main house, which is the residence of Lord Hou Dongfang Yuan, to the east is the front hall of the main entrance of the Hou Mansion, and to the south is a separate courtyard.
Where the wives and concubines lived, the courtyard to the west was for the three young masters, and to the north were the servants' rooms and warehouses, etc.
It's not too far to walk from Qingfeng Garden to the front yard on the east side, so when Liu Yun arrived, everyone was already in the front hall. Seeing her come in, the loose atmosphere changed slightly.
"Hey, this is the Young Madam, right? She's so arrogant. She dared to keep us all waiting on the first day." Madam Bai Ruoyan is one of the rare people in the house who dares to speak to the Eldest Madam Ling Lan. Hou
I never like to get involved in the affairs between these women. Unless it really gets serious, I just let them make trouble on their own.
"In reply to Madam Side, the eldest young master had an old illness last night, and the young madam took care of him all night. Now the eldest young master has just gone to bed, and the young madam came to say hello." The person who replied was Mo Li, although he was a servant of the Hou Mansion.
, I only greeted the side lady with a slight blessing.
In fact, early in the morning, what happened in Qingfeng Garden had already spread to various courtyards, so everyone looked at the eldest daughter of the Mu family with not only contempt, but also a little sympathy.
Now that she's like this, everyone is very curious about her reaction.
But obviously, Liu Yun's gentle and calm demeanor surprised everyone. Everyone knew that the eldest daughter of Mu Mansion was overbearing and domineering, so how could she be so calm when such a thing happened was really puzzling.
"How is Ye'er's health? What did the doctor say after seeing her?" After all, the eldest lady Ling Lan cares more about her son. Although she is completely unwilling to this marriage, it is the marriage granted by the emperor, and she will do whatever it takes.
She couldn't show any reluctance, and the master also gave her numerous warnings not to embarrass the eldest daughter of the Mu Mansion, otherwise she would have no idea how many babies would be born in the future.
"Replying to Madam, the doctor said that this is caused by the exhaustion of the little Marquis during the day. As long as he pays attention to resting during these days, he will be fine." Liu Yun's answer was quite satisfactory. In fact, there was no need for her to say anything more about Qingfeng.
Someone had already told the eldest lady about Yuan's affairs. Of course, what they didn't know, what was spread in Qingfeng Yuan was only what their young master wanted others to know, not what really happened.
Ling Lan nodded and said to the grandmother on the side: "Let's serve tea."
According to the rules, the new daughter-in-law has to serve tea to everyone in the family, and the maid has already prepared the tea.
Mo Li supported Liu Yun and walked to Dongfang Yuan, whispering: "This is the master."
"Father, drink tea." He took the tea from Mo Li and offered it in a respectful and obedient manner.
"Ye'er is not in good health, and I need you to take good care of her in the future." After taking the tea, the attendant beside the Marquis immediately handed over a red envelope, which was the master's gift to his new wife, and Liu Yun took it respectfully.
Then came the eldest lady, Liu Yun still said in a respectful tone: "First lady, please have tea."
Although Ling Lan was dissatisfied with her status as a merchant's daughter, she had to say that she came from a wealthy family and had good etiquette, which was completely different from those from small families. She took a sip from the tea cup, and someone immediately stood beside her.
Coming over to take it, she took out a jade bracelet from her sleeve, reached out and lifted her right wrist to put it on, but she didn't expect that there was already a precious blood jade bracelet on her right wrist.
The atmosphere froze in an instant.
No one expected that Liu Yun would actually withdraw his hand, take off the blood jade bracelet and hold it in his hand. Then he stretched out his right wrist and smiled faintly: "This blood jade bracelet was originally a relic of my mother's life. Now it is replaced by a big one."
The jade bracelet given by the madam, Liuyun will serve the eldest lady like his own mother."
These words were spoken calmly and gracefully without any discomfort, but they gave everyone a new understanding of this rumored unruly and willful young lady.
"Ye'er calls me Aunt Lan, you can just let him call me that way." Ling Lan's unhappiness just now was bought off by Liu Yun's lightly flattering words.
"Yes, Liuyun will remember Aunt Lan's teachings." If everyone in the Mu Mansion saw her reverent look, they would probably be shocked and think that she is not Mu Liuyun. When could the legitimate daughter of the Mu Mansion be so humble?
When it's peaceful.
Then there is Mrs. Bai Ruoyan who was sarcastic to Liu Yun just now. It’s not that she doesn’t like Liu Yun, but because she is the eldest wife’s daughter-in-law, she just wants to make her look embarrassed. After all, the feud between the three wives and concubines of the Hou Mansion has long been known to everyone.
Everyone knows it, but if the master doesn't mention it, no one will say anything.
"Haha, I was guessing which family's daughter would present this cup of tea, but I didn't expect that the eldest young master would marry a merchant's daughter. I really don't know what kind of incense you burned in Mu's house in your previous life, but in this life it's actually
Let you have such a blessing." Bai Ruoyan took the tea, but did not drink it, but continued the sarcasm just now.
Liu Yun was good-tempered and didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at her calmly, with a slight smile on his lips. He didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, but it made the Marquis feel a little good about Dongfang Ye's chosen wife.
The one who can endure the intolerance of ordinary people is Dongfang Ye’s daughter-in-law.
"Sister Yan's words...are she planning to marry the emperor, aren't they? After all, it is the marriage granted by the emperor." Ling Lan elegantly swept away the tea leaves on the water with the lid of the cup and spoke casually.
"This..." Bai Ruoyan's face froze. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that the Marquis looked unhappy, and immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing. There was no harm in them fighting among themselves. If the emperor was mentioned, it would be something that would make the Marquis unhappy.
So she changed her tune quickly, "Look, my sister hasn't woken up from yesterday's wedding, and she's actually talking nonsense."
Ling Lan raised her lips and smiled, and retorted: "As long as you know it's nonsense, it's okay to talk about it in the house. Don't go outside and talk nonsense, or it will cause trouble for the Marquis."
Bai Ruoyan bit her lip and glared at Liuyun fiercely, as if everything she suffered was caused by her. Liuyun suddenly felt innocent. She swore that she was really shot while lying down. What?
No words were spoken.
Next came the other concubine, Shangguan Lurong. She was very talkative and gave Liu Yun a pair of jade pendant earrings. She had a calm expression on her face, but Liu Yun grew up in a big house and had never known a dog that didn't bark.
She may not be non-biting. A woman who can give birth to the third young master and raise him in front of the eldest wife and the side wife must not be underestimated.
What followed was a routine of lectures. The three ladies lectured Liuyun one after another, teaching Liuyun to regard her husband as her first priority, and to obey the three virtues and the four virtues. In fact, they were just asking for favors from the Marquis. Not to mention kneeling in the middle of the front hall and listening to them, they were drowsy.
The two young masters on the side were about to doze off.
Then, I finally heard the voice of help, "Madam, sir, the young master has woken up and is looking for the young madam."
"Well, that's it for today. You can go back to Qingfeng Garden to take care of Ye'er first." The eldest lady was finally willing to let her go, waving her hand and letting the maid help her leave.
Liuyun glanced at Mo Li and the maid outside the door and blinked. He finally understood why Dongfang Ye was sick in bed. I bet he had already planned it. It was really... a high standard.
