Blanket disclaimer: This novel doesn’t belong to me. All characters and plots belong to the author. I just translate during my free time.
It's kind of interesting, at this time the Feng family sent someone to pay attention to that one. In this way, didn't the people outside know that there is such a neglected young master in the house?
Thinking of this, Concubine Mei was happy.
"Ruyi, prepare a gift and send it to Jiaochi Yuan. I'm going to take a look at it. What kind of expression is the lady who is well-known everywhere now?" When Ruyi and Mama Zhou heard it, they hurriedly went down to prepare.
Similarly, in the backyard of the Houye Mansion's main branch, several other concubines also heard about it one after another. One by one they will laugh. "It's a bit interesting now. That Concubine Ping has a reputation for being virtuous all these years. It just so happened that today, the deputy captain of the capital, brought the brothers from the military camp to give gifts and visit this nephew who has been neglected for a long time. , In this way, the reputation of that lady..."
Many older people actually know one or two things about the things in the Houye Mansion. Although Concubine Ping seems to be in a slightly higher position, she is only a Concubine Ping who has been promoted to the top by the Houye over the years because of the situation.、
She has been giving birth to children for so many years and has still never been given the title of wife. It can be seen that she is just a person who has occupied a position.
The concubines of each branch and courtyard were not the masters of patience. At this time, when they heard the movement of Jiaochi Yuan, how could they just sit still.
Therefore, they each sent someone to give gifts to express their love for Jiu Gongzi.
Not only did the concubines in the main house give gifts like this, but the Madams in all the houses and courtyards also changed their expressions slightly after hearing about it.
"Hey, the wind seems too have changed."
"No, for so many years, the one in Jiaochi Yuan has been neglected, but now it's good that people from the Feng family have come to visit."
"How much the Houye loved that lady, how much he hates the one in Jiaochi Yuan now. But, there is still the family relationship between father and son. In that case, let's show a good thing."
And more people are thinking, isn't that Concubine Ping very favored recently, the elders care about you, and your natal family is becoming more and more powerful. However, now that you are doing this thing, Lord Hou may not like you. The more people looked at Jiaochi Yuan, the more people outside the house would say different things.
Many people think that Concubine Ping is a face-saving person and wants to pretend to be virtuous. At this moment there is a neglected son in Jiaochi Yuan... If this spreads, will it affect Concubine Ping?
The ladies of each room who were happy to see a good show began to express their most ardent love for the ninth son at this time. As a result, whether it is utensils, various kinds of snacks, and various types of fabrics, they are all delivered.
For a while, Xiao Qi, who is usually idle, was so busy his feet barely touched the ground. Just receiving the girls and women who came to give gifts from each room, they all flew up in a hurry.
However, what shocked everyone who came to give gifts was that the young man, who was only a few years old, could calmly receive others.
Judging from how he treats people and things, it doesn't make anyone feel that this is a very neglected child. Judging from his demeanor and appearance, it makes people think that this person must be a noble son of a well-educated family.
“Fifth Madam, you don't know, that bearing, the style that leads to it, it really doesn't look like a person who has been neglected all the time. I think as long as you give some guidance, he can also be a useful person.
Fifth Madam frowned slightly when she heard this. In the end, she smiled relievedly, "It's very good. From time to time, I will send some gifts to express my love. I really want to see how far that little boy can make it in this Manor. In the second Madam's courtyard, after getting the latest situation about Murong Xiude, the second Madam stopped painting, "This trivial matter, you can just watch and do as you see fit, there is no need report to me. "
"Concubine Ping, I see how you want to please the Houye. Come here, give Jiu Gongzi fifty taels of silver." The third Concubine is the most proud one. Actually send real money. You know, in this backyard, for the younger generation, at most it is an expression of love. However, the third Concubine's family is a large salt merchant, and it is not uncommon to be able to give money.
...
Feng Fuying, who had been standing next to him, took a look at all the people in this mansion, and similarly, he was secretly surprised when he saw the performance of his nephew.
Calm, yet gentle and elegant.
Waiting for those people to go, talking to them, listening confidently; It didn’t seem to take any effort at all.
Thinking of his own eight-year-old child at home, he still shook his head naively like a cute boy.
But the one in front of him, if it wasn't for his childish voice, He really would doubt that this is not an adult.
"It turns out that it makes sense for the old man to ask me to visit in person. Who can guarantee that such a child will always be in such a position"
After realizing this, Feng Fuying paid more attention to this nephew.
When Jiaochi Yuan calmed down, Xiao Qi was panting on the chair.
"It's exhausting, but young master will we be much better in the future?"
Looking at the various gifts stacked on the table, Xiao Qi didn't feel tired anymore.
Murong Xiude put away the fifty taels of silver solemnly.
"I'm afraid, the scene of only the two of us will no longer exist in the future. However, the people who come, I will also use them."
Xiao Qi, who was still counting all kinds of gifts, raised his head, "Young Master?"
Murong Xiude smiled slightly.
"Xiao Qi, this is the beginning, our road is still long."
Seeing the young master's calm expression, Xiao Qi suddenly felt that he was still too calm.
"Young Master, do you mean that Concubine Ping will send someone to take care of you?"
"Yes." Murong Xiude stood up and picked up the book again.
"Xiao Qi, cheer up. Next, we still have a long way to go."
Frightened by the young master's serious face, Xiao Qi quickly straightened his posture.
The young master, it seems, is still in trouble.
"Oh, I don't know, what's going on with Sister Wan over there, and I can't talk to her about anything."
Speaking of Sister Wan, Murong Xiude's cold pupils softened. Wan’er, give me a little more time, and I will let you come back.
This time when the Feng family came to visit Murong Xiude, and the most angry and anxious was Concubine Ping from the main branch.
She deeply regretted that she should listen to the nanny's advice and treat the child well. After thinking about it for a while, Concubine Ping had a triumphant look on her face. …
