Adding one more idiot, several people looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
Cheng Xue is not interested in the back house of a wealthy family, but the servants around an aunt in the Suhou Mansion are so "official and powerful". What has the northern garrison camp been like in recent years?
Regarding Dingbei Hou, she didn't want to think too much, but what Mrs. Gu did was right in front of her, and now her servant was acting like this, so it was inevitable that people wouldn't think too much.
Looking at the maid who walked in angrily, she was not as weak and boneless as she usually saw, with a slender waist and a feminine look. Instead, she was a bit rough and strong like a Liaodong woman.
The little girl walked up to her mother-in-law and said while pulling her:
"Cousin, get up, we are the ones working for Aunt Gui, no one should give us any face."
The volume is controlled just right, so you can't hear it outside, but you can hear everything clearly in the kitchen.
"Shut up." The mother-in-law was so angry that she pulled her to her side and knelt down, kowtowing heavily, "I hope Li Gong will atone for her sins. My child is a frivolous girl who grew up in the north. Don't be as knowledgeable as her."
The little girl was obviously very unconvinced, but she didn't dare to act recklessly in front of her cousin, so she could only cooperate and kowtow.
Cheng Xue naturally did not have the same experience as the two of them, so she waved her hands lightly and said:
"Get up, those who don't know are not guilty. Mr. Hou wants to eat noodles, and we are just making them. It's okay if you have more pairs of chopsticks and more bowls."
She gave it sincerely, but the mother-in-law felt that she wanted to take revenge and did not dare to get up. She was kowtowing and apologizing, but it was not wise to express her heart.
In the end, Bai Shao couldn't stand listening anymore, and put down the kitchen knife with a "bang--" and said angrily:
"Where did the energy to show off one's power just now go? Our wife is not as stingy as you think, and it is not worth getting angry with a servant like you. Don't pull me down, who is willing to give it away? Go, go, don't be an eyesore here.
, look annoyed."
Seeing that she was scolded, the mother-in-law was overjoyed, got up in a hurry, and took her niece out.
Li Tian looked at the two people's backs, curled his lips, and said calmly:
"Mom, why is this person so mean? He has to be scolded to feel comfortable? What's wrong with him?"
The volume is moderate, just enough for both my cousin and nephew to hear.
Li Yue looked at the two people with stiff backs, "Pfft--" he chuckled softly, patted his sister's shoulder lovingly, and said:
"What nonsense are you telling the truth? Some people are willing to say, 'The heart of a villain will judge the heart of a gentleman.' There's nothing you can do about it. Pick the vegetables quickly, it's time to fry them later."
Li Tian nodded obediently and said again to the backs of the two of them,
"There is no shame in a true villain. What is shameful is a hypocritical villain who pretends to be powerful and shows off. That is the scum. Bah——"
After saying this, she watched her aunt and nephew run away with satisfaction, and then the little girl lowered her head to pick vegetables.
Although she has a bad temper, she has upright views and is warm-hearted, so Cheng Xue and Li Hui both protect her innocence. As for the two servants, it is their fault, even if they turn right and wrong and complain to the aunt, it doesn't matter.
, After all, Lord Su is not stupid and will not trouble Li Hui because of two servants.
When the noodles were ready, Ging Guo brought one portion to Lian, and Bai Shao took away the rest.
The ladies left the kitchen and prepared to go back to the house for dinner. When they went upstairs, they met Li Hui and an old man.
Before Cheng Xue could say anything, Li Hui came over and took her hand, introducing:
"Master Hou, this is my wife Yu, and the five of them are our children. Wife, this is Master Suhou, the Marquis of Dingbei."
Cheng Xue saluted after hearing this——
"I've met the Marquis."
"Greetings to Mr. Su Hou." The five children saluted in unison.
Dingbei Hou Su Zhen looked at the family of seven in front of him and nodded slowly.
"Master Li is so lucky. He has so many children and his family is prosperous."
Li Heng bowed, raised his head, and asked with some excitement:
"I heard that Mr. Su has been guarding the northern border for many years. Did Mr. Su lead troops to fight? Go into battle to kill the enemy? Are you afraid? The battlefield cannot be scary anymore?"
For Li Heng, who has a "general dream", Su Zhen has the highest official position among all the military attachés he has met. He wants to ask countless questions, but due to the rules, he can only pick the ones that interest him most.
When Su Zhen, who was approaching fifty, heard this, he smiled and stroked his beard and asked instead:
"Do you want to join the army?"
"Well, I think so."
Seeing the child nodding without thinking, Su Zhen chuckled "Haha..." and said meaningfully to Li Hui, who was helping his wife to get up:
"Master Li has raised a good son! When others mention 'joining the army', they want to stay away. This little boy is really good."
"I'm going to make you laugh. This kid has wanted to wear armor since he was a child."
"If it's the child's own idea, that's fine."
Li Heng was unhappy when he heard this, but he still pretended not to understand and said:
"Master Marquis, this is my own idea. My mother doesn't want me to join the army, but it would be great to go into battle to kill the enemy and protect my family and country. I like it."
Su Zhen looked up and down at the little baby in front of her and said nothing. She turned around and was about to leave when she caught a glimpse of Cheng Xue, who stopped in place.
"I wonder where Mr. Li's wife is from?"
"I am from Liaodong, my natal family is in Yujiatun, Shushan Town, Pingyang County." Li Hui replied.
"Is there anyone else at home?" Su Zhen asked, "It's a bit presumptuous, but I think Mrs. Ling looks familiar to me."
Li Hui was startled when he heard this, then held Cheng Xue's hand tightly and said:
"It shouldn't be. My wife and I are cousins. We have lived in Shushan Town since we were young. Who does the Marquis think my wife looks like?"
Su Zhen frowned when he heard this, shook his head and said:
"I made a mistake. No wonder you and your wife love each other. It turned out to be a friendship between teenagers. I am tired and will go back to my room first. I wish you good luck in your future trip to the north."
So many times, who can believe that there is nothing wrong with it?
Several people returned to the room. Li Heng stood behind his mother and said in a low voice:
"Dad, what does that old guy mean? Why are you asking my mother? Does he know my mother?"
"What do you think?" Li Hui asked without answering.
Li Heng thought for a moment and said seriously:
"He doesn't know my mother, but he must have thought of someone when he saw my mother."
The children have been studying for several years and have their own logic and opinions about things. In addition, Cheng Xue's life experience has never been hidden from them, so it is normal for them to notice something fishy.
Li Hui raised the corner of his mouth, thinking deeply, patted his shoulder and said:
"Let's eat some noodles and go to bed early. We have to go on the road tomorrow."
The children all understood the meaning of "until the order is reached", so they sat down around the round table and ate with their heads down.
After finishing a bowl of sweet and sour fried noodles, Li Heng and Yan Yixin cleared away the dishes, while Li Tian took Li Yue and Li Huai away first and went back to their room to rest.
The couple were left in the house, washing themselves briefly and going to bed. There were constant footsteps and mutterings in the corridor.
"You weren't at the inn at that time, were you going out with Su Hou?"
Li Hui said "hmm", turned over, buried his face in her neck, and said aggrievedly:
"The old man gave me a powerful attack, which is scary."
The sound of breathing hit the neck, it was hot and itchy.
"Don't make trouble, he can still scare you? What are you going to do? If you want to leave the child at home, I have no objection, but I must go with you."
