In the first room, there were far less people like Chengyi than in the second room.

Shi Chengyi only had three women in total.

One is the late wife, who felt at ease when she left behind a daughter.

The second one is Ding Xiang, the maid who grew up with Shi Chengyi.

After the death of the late wife, during the years when the back house of the big house was vacant, Dingxiang became the first wife, and later she became the concubine.

Lilac also has a daughter named Shi Zhiyu. Because he was born from a concubine, he is not qualified to enter the generation of An. Therefore, Shi Anrou used the word "an" back then, which is enough to show how biased Mrs. Shi's actions were.

This was also the reason why Mrs. Shi was criticized many times by the elders of the Shi family.

Finally, there is Yu Sujun. After she entered the house, Shi Chengyi never took any more concubines.

Yu Sujun gave birth to a boy and a girl. The eldest was a boy, only twelve years old, named Shi Yunzhou; the younger was a girl, only six years old, named Shi Anxue.

The maids came running over happily, shouting, "The eldest lady is back! The eldest young master is back!" Naturally, the ones they shouted were Shi Anxia and Shi Yunqi.

In the past, the second bedroom was the most important, but now the first bedroom is the most important. Logically speaking, the current eldest lady should be Shi Anxin, and the eldest young master should be Shi Yunzhou.

It's just that all the titles nowadays are still a bit confusing.

The caller has no intention, but the listener has intention. When there are too many people, it is inevitable that superfluous thoughts will arise.

Fortunately, the head mistress, Yu Sujun, is a big-hearted person and is on good terms with Tang Chujun, so she naturally doesn't care about these false claims.

For a while, the New Year's Eve dinner was a harmonious and enjoyable one.

Shi Anxia received many big red envelopes from the elders. She was so happy that she raised her hands and compared herself with her brother. She had a girlish appearance and a cute and lively temperament.

Completely different from the decisive and calm girl last night.

Even the old Marquis suspected that he must have had a dream last night to feel that his granddaughter was deep and scary.

After the excitement, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective courtyards to watch the New Year.

Yu Sujun wanted to invite Tang Chujun to join him, and he asked slowly, "Sister Chu Jun, what are your plans for tonight? Do you want to stay up late with your second brother or..."

Tang Chujun shook his head, "How is that possible? What years do I have to live with him? He can either go to his friends or spend time with his aunts."

Shi Chengxuan: "..."

He clearly wanted to stay at Haitang Courtyard tonight.

His mother left home, his backbone was gone, and the person who could protect him was gone. He was floating like a duckweed, a little scared.

The only one I can rely on is my legitimate wife.

He didn't want to go out or go to his aunt's place. This heart is so empty.

But Yu Sujun didn't know what to do, "Why don't you, Mr. Chu, take Xia'er and Qi'er to my yard to watch the New Year together?"

Tang Chujun agreed simply, "Okay, there are so many people and it will be lively."

Shi Chengxuan could only go to his aunt's room in despair and spend the night sighing.

The new layout of the Jian'an Marquis Mansion was not as chaotic as everyone expected. The alternation between the old and new mistresses was so harmonious that it was surprising.

Everyone said they didn't understand and began to speculate.

"Maybe the Marquis Jian'an Mansion is just an empty shell, so the second wife doesn't want it. Otherwise, what's the point? In order to maintain the superficial appearance, a dowry will have to be provided."

"You're right, that's probably the case. Their Jian'an Marquis Mansion has been poor for a long time, but they still stocked up so many supplies to change officials. The second brother didn't get an official position, so naturally he didn't want to spend his money on it."

Many people who stay up late on New Year's Eve are making badmouthing about the Marquis Mansion no matter what.

But this does not affect the excitement of the Hou Mansion.

After many of the servants were purged from Nuo Da's palace, not only did it not appear deserted, but it was full of vitality.

The fact that the servants can stay in the house now means that nothing serious has happened. In addition, many illegal clerks have been sold, and now there are many vacant positions everywhere.

Who doesn't have a fire burning in their heart and wants to work hard to show their abilities to the master?

However, the frequent changes in the head of the house and the mistress in the Hou Mansion really left them confused.

But everyone has an inexplicable consensus, that is, no matter which matron pleases, it is better to behave in front of the eldest lady.

"Oh, it's all chaos. Now the real eldest daughter should be Miss An Xin. I don't know what to call her at the moment."

"Yes, yes, the eldest lady we call has always been 'Miss An Xia'. I don't know if 'Miss An Xin' will be angry."

"Never mind her, there is only one young lady in my heart anyway!"

"No, I heard that our eldest lady got the job for our uncle!"

Behind the dark flowers in the middle of the night, a dark voice sneered, "Did you hear that? The only eldest lady in my heart is Shi Anxia! Who do you think you are? Miss An Xin, do you still expect a stepmother to plan a good marriage for you? She clearly understands I just want to drag you until you are old, and then marry you to a low-income family as a concubine! My girl! Can you wake up!"

Shi Anxin shook her head, "Aunt Huang, that's not the case. My mother is very good to me and she will not harm me."

Aunt Huang was very angry, "Your father was raised by an old slave, and you were raised by an old slave. Could it be that the old slave would harm you?"

"That's not what I meant. Aunt Huang, don't be angry. Let's go back." Shi Anxin was a little uneasy.

Aunt Huang said earnestly, "Girl, in this family, if I don't plan for you, no one will sincerely plan for you. Do you understand? Everything I do is for your own good."

"I know Aunt Huang is good to me." Shi Anxin said in a low voice.

"It's best if you understand in your heart. You are not young anymore." Nanny Huang was anxious. "There is a good marriage in front of us. Madam has been suppressing it and didn't tell you."

"What?" Shi Anxin blushed, "Mother said, let me see you again after the new year. By then, our palace will be in a better position, and we will have more bargaining chips to discuss marriage."

"Bah!" Aunt Huang spat on the ground bitterly, "You are the only one who is stupid! Can Yu Sujun really plan for you? Haven't you seen her trying to please the second wife? The second wife said that you should postpone the marriage proposal, and she I immediately agreed. Is she treating you well? You are already eighteen years old, my good girl! Other girls are eighteen years old and are already mothers. What about you? You haven’t even changed your character! Old slave I’m so anxious!”

Shi Anxin stammered, "Actually, there's no need to be too hasty. Mother said that my second aunt will protect me."

Aunt Huang hates that iron cannot be made into steel, "You believe it too! You believe this! My silly girl!" She was heartbroken, "On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I will take you to meet someone. I guarantee you will like it. Since first, Madam, she left early, and the girl has to decide whether or not she wants to get married. Only if you like it can you live a happy life in the future."

Shi Anxin hesitated, "Isn't this bad?"

"What are you afraid of? I will be with you, and I will not spread anything harmful to the girl's reputation." Aunt Huang warned seriously, "But you can't tell others about this, you know? Otherwise, I will You will be punished. It doesn't matter if you are punished for the girl, but I don't want you to miss this good marriage."

"Which young master is Mammy talking about?" Shi Anxin asked curiously.

Aunt Huang came close to Shi Anxin's ear and whispered, "Physician Lu Yonghua from Taiyuan Hospital."

Shi Anxin's heart suddenly skipped two beats, and a handsome man appeared in front of his eyes. The man was elegant and personable.

There was still a faint and pleasant medicinal fragrance on his body... Shi Anxin's face turned red all of a sudden.
