Chapter 38
Without Mrs. Yu Qin being an eyesore in the mansion, Mrs. Yu was in a good mood for several days in a row. With the power of the house in her hands, she seemed to have returned to the time when everyone respected her and feared her.

It's just that no matter how proud Mrs. Yu is, her aging body can't fool anyone.

Today's Yong'an Bo Mansion is no longer the Yu family that had few servants back then.There are not many Zhuangzi and land properties alone. There are also shops and houses everywhere. The accounts must be checked every half a month.

But with old lady Yu's body and bones, she still needs someone to support her when she walks in the yard, let alone the account check and housekeeper. After holding on for half a month, old lady Yu almost fell into bed again.

"Aunt Yu, go and bring over the picture albums sent by each family and let me take a look."

"The old lady is planning to bring a noble concubine into the mansion?"

"I'm old, and I can't stand it anymore. The stall in our uncle's house is too big. I can't do it alone."

"What kind do you want to choose? The slave will help you to see."

"The first point, of course, comes from an innocent background, so it must be a concubine's daughter. My son is also Yong'an Bo, marrying a concubine to enter the family, and it's not good to hear it. The other is to be a housekeeper. I don't have a few years to live with this old bone Well, if you don't even know how to be a housekeeper, then you really invited an ancestor. Of course, this character must be gentle and virtuous, and he will be careful every morning and evening. I still count on her to take care of me by the side. Yu Qin's family is like a poisonous woman, it's just an unfortunate family."

Yes, Nanny Yu finally understood.

No wonder Mrs. Yu was dissatisfied with the daughters of more than a dozen families some time ago. Just being a prostitute is embarrassing enough. Her father's concubine?

What's more, what Old Madam Yu said inside and outside the meaning is that this noble concubine must be something she can handle, how can it be as nice as she said to the outside world?She said she was a noble concubine, and she was a housekeeper as soon as she entered the house. In fact, she was looking for a servant for Mrs. Yu!The servant girl can still be released from the house when she is old, but this noble concubine has to obey the old lady's orders at any time. Which good family would be willing to send their daughter to the fire pit?

but……

"Look at this, this girl's father is from a five-rank thousand family. Although her position is a bit low, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, so she can get along well with the master, right?"

"My background is a bit low, how about studying?"

"Don't worry, this girl's family is headed by her aunt, who is Yuan Yushi's daughter-in-law. The rules are the most strict. Every girl in their family has a housekeeper after ten years old." Well! That’s right, I heard people say that this girl is a bit more straight-tempered, and some are not very good at it.”

"It doesn't matter if you don't come, you can learn. How about this, let this girl come to the mansion tomorrow to have a look."

Feng Xu followed Aunt Yuan to Uncle Yong's Mansion.

As expected of the Earl's Mansion, it is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital, covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand hectares. I heard that it was the place that Emperor Chongming personally pointed out.

As soon as Aunt Yuan entered the door, she nodded in admiration.

"Xu'er, if you can be favored by the old lady, it will be a great blessing. Because of you, your younger sisters are still in the boudoir, and you should also take on the responsibility of being an older sister."

Aunt Yuan is a person who obeys the rules to the point of rigidity. Feng Xu is the eldest daughter of the next generation of the Feng family. She is not married, so the younger sisters are not allowed to see her.

Originally, Feng Xu and his fiancé had already exchanged Geng Tie in private, and they were about to get engaged, when bandits came from the west, the fiancé went to the battlefield.

The Feng family waited year after year, and the war ended, but the people remained on the battlefield forever.

In a flash, Feng Xu was eighteen, and all the children of her age were born, but she suddenly became an old girl.

Aunt Yuan suppressed the girls in the house and did not let them see each other's marriage. She might not have wanted to suppress the concubines. However, her daughter was already 13 years old this year and it was time for her to see her. She didn't want to In order to bring his own daughter into the relationship with several concubines, he rushed to announce the marriage to Feng Xu.

In fact, Feng Xu was also forced to go on a blind date by Aunt Yuan in her previous life, but at that time Feng Xu forced her to die, and Aunt Yuan was really afraid of her straightforwardness and dared not force her.In the end, it was Feng Xu's father who felt sorry for his daughter and decided to separate their small family. First, it would not affect the marriages of other daughters in the family, and second, it could give Feng Xu a chance to breathe.Later, Feng Xu kept filial piety for his lover for three years, and after gradually unraveling his knot, he married Fei Yuanran.

When they arrived at the old lady's yard, Aunt Yuan forced a smile on her face and chatted with Mrs. Yu, who was also secretly observing Feng Xu.

Feng Xu is a little stupid, but Aunt Yuan is what she says, and when it comes to housekeepers, she is very knowledgeable, she really knows how to do things and is easy to handle.Mrs. Yu was already somewhat satisfied with Feng Xu before, but when she saw him, she became very satisfied.Immediately made a decision, "This marriage is settled like this."

Aunt Yuan thanked the old lady happily, and led Feng Xu out happily. Feng Xu was like a marionette, completely unresponsive to changes in the outside world.

One month later, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, which was an auspicious day, Feng Xu was carried into Yong'an Bofu from the corner gate on a sedan.She was a noble concubine, and Mrs. Yu didn't let her have a banquet. She just called the whole family together for a meal.

Feng Xu grew up in the border area. He came to Beijing with his father when he was eight years old. He also practiced martial arts since he was a child. Therefore, he is tall and has a heroic look in his brows. After taking a seat, he sneered, "I really want to pretend to be a phoenix with chicken feathers!"

Although Wang Momo repeatedly urged her to make friends with Feng Xu, but thinking that her mother was driven to the temple because of this woman, Yu Wan'er was upset, as if she had eaten gunpowder, and always wanted to find someone to vent her anger on.

Since ancient times, it's not easy to be a stepmother, let alone a concubine, Feng Xu's eyes are wide open, and he concentrates on looking at the dishes on the table, but he doesn't look at Yu Wan'er.

Yu Wan'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but thinking that the old lady would arrive soon, she could bear it all the time.

Yu Xia watched the show with great enthusiasm, and didn't want old lady Yu to ask her the first thing when she entered the door, "Girl Xia, why are you so happy?"

"Going back to the old lady, Aunt Feng came in, and the family is considered a new addition to the family. The granddaughter is very happy, so she is happy."

"Oh, is it really for this?"

"Naturally, would the granddaughter deceive the old lady because of such a trivial matter?"

"Not necessarily."

"Old lady, if we don't have dinner, the delicious dishes prepared by the chef in the imperial dining room will probably be cold." Seeing Yu Xia smiling at Old Madam Yu, she sat down and stopped talking, so Mammy said quickly.

Mrs. Yu took a deep breath, not wanting to quarrel on the big day, so she walked down the steps and said, "Okay, let's have a dinner."

"Today is a good day, I would like to toast Aunt Feng." Yu Wan'er stood up reluctantly after receiving the signal from Nanny Wang's eyes.

"I don't drink." Feng Xu didn't answer.

"Aunt Feng, this is the first glass of wine I toast you, you won't be so shameless, will you?" Yu Wan'er lowered her face.

Although she was not wearing mourning clothes, in Feng Xu's heart, she had to observe mourning for her lover for three years. During these three years, she would not eat alcohol, meat, or meat. Of course, there was no need to tell the Yu family about this kind of thing.

"It's not that I don't give you face, it's just that I really shouldn't drink alcohol."

"A concubine, does he really take himself seriously?" Yu Wan'er was also in a hurry, and dropped the wine glass with a "bang", "I toast you to save face, you don't want to toast or eat fine wine!"

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Yu knocked on her walking stick, "Your Aunt Feng is the one our Yu family's matchmaker is marrying into the mansion, so you can be regarded as your elder. How can you talk to her like that? What about your upbringing!"

"Education? My father has never cared about me since I was born, and the only mother who cares about me has been driven away by you! Where did I get my education!"

"You, you really want to piss me off!"

"Hmph, no matter what, the old lady doesn't like me anyway, if you want to beat or punish you, I won't serve you!" Yu Wan'er ran away holding her skirt.

"Come on, lock her, lock her up for me! It's lawless, lawless! It's exactly the same as her mother!"

Old Madam Yu was so angry that she fell on her back. Thanks to Nanny Yu supporting her, Feng Xu started making a fuss at the first meal when he entered the mansion. Fighting with Mrs. Yu's singing and reading, it's a worthwhile trip!
Seeing her careless behavior and smiling indifferently when she met Mrs. Yu's eyes, Mrs. Yu immediately rolled her eyes and fainted.

A group of maids rushed forward, one of them patted the old lady's back, and Mammy Yu went to dress old lady Yu.In front of so many people, Yu Xia ate the last mouthful without changing her expression, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and greeted Feng Xu, "I've eaten the meal, and watched the excitement, Aunt Feng wants to leave with me ?”

"No, I have to stay and take care of the old lady."

Before Feng Xu married, Feng's mother gave thousands of instructions, but now the old lady is in charge of the Yong'an uncle's house, she must respect her mother-in-law, Feng Xu still obeys her mother's words very much.

Since she already had a plan, Yu Xia didn't force it, nodded slightly and left.

Old Madam Yu couldn't stand emotional ups and downs when she was getting old, Yu Wan'er was so angry before, and later Yu Xia took pleasure in other's misfortune, she passed away when she got excited.

Now that he regained his senses, he felt as if his whole body had been broken up and then reassembled, and he was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

"Grandma, you're awake."

As soon as Feng Xu opened his mouth, Mrs. Yu realized that there was someone sitting beside the bed.

"It's you," Mrs. Yu said with lingering fears, "Oh, today is your good day, but my two useless granddaughters--it's really unfortunate for the family, unfortunate for the family!"

"Mother-in-law, don't get angry. The doctor said that your disease is the most taboo. Just now, Madam Yu has asked someone to boil a bucket of hot water. I'll take you there and take a bath."

"Alright."

After tossing around for a while, Mrs. Yu's body was covered with stinky sweat, not to mention that she was old, and she always smelled like an old man. She didn't like it, so she must have a bath and change into clean clothes.Nanny Yu knew her habits, so she asked someone to prepare hot water early in the morning.

"Go get someone to come in and help me over."

"No need." Feng Xu picked up Mrs. Yu, took a few steps steadily, and put the old lady into the bathtub.

"The clothes are all on the side. Let me know after you wash them, and I'll watch them outside."
