Chapter 41

(The second update will be sent soon~~~)

This time I entered the city, Nianfu realized the inconvenience of transportation in ancient times.

Xuancheng is just a town less than a hundred miles away from Huaian Town. If there were cars, it would take less than an hour, but they walked for two days. They crossed mountains and rivers along the way, ups and downs, making people feel so painful that their butts hurt, and they also want to vomit.

It’s really not that Nianfu is pretentious. People who have never taken an ancient carriage will not understand. At this time, there were no rubber tires, and all cars were just wooden wheels with iron hoops. How high is the shock absorption performance? If it weren’t for the incoming time, she would rather walk!

However, Hou Fangyu was used to riding a horse and was free outside. He just saw that Nianfu and his grandson were so pale that their faces were pale. He was a little disgusted. "In fact, there is still a waterway to walk, but it is slower. Why don't you take a boat when you go back, it won't be so bumpy."

Let’s get down! You will feel dizzy when you take a bus, but won’t you feel dizzy when you take a boat? Nian Fu would rather have a shorter time than suffer less.

In fact, she wanted to go out to ride a horse, but she didn't. If she rode with the prospective son-in-law, she was afraid of shocking others' chin, so she had to say nothing.

But Mr. Shi said politely, "It's okay, it's coming soon, it's okay."

Hou Fangyu glanced at his sister Nianfu again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upwards.

When I got home, my grandfather decided to explain their marriage in front of everyone. It would be useless if anyone wanted to stop him from marrying his young wife!

Although Mr. Shi was blindfolded, he was not confused. In the past two days, he had already seen that this stupid boy from the Hou family really liked his granddaughter. I think that in the future, the couple would not have to worry about their relationship. But can they get married? The old man asked a question mark in his heart with doubts.

When he reached the city gate, the sun was already west. Hou Fangyu wanted to go home directly, but Mr. Shi said he wanted to buy something, so it was not easy to go to other people's house empty-handed, not to mention that he also took his granddaughter, so he wanted to stay in the inn for one night and pay his birthday tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the city, he saw the Hou family guarding here. When he saw Hou Fangyu, he immediately surrounded him like stars and said in a lingering manner, "Young master, you are finally back. Why don't you ask Xiaodi to follow me when you go out? It made the lady say it, and she almost hit us!"

"Okay, OK!" Hou Fangyu grabbed a handful of silver and blocked the mouths of these people, and wanted to attract them to pay homage to the grandparents and grandchildren of the Shi family.

But when those servants saw that Nianfu's grandparents and grandchildren were dressed in shabby clothes, they showed some contempt. They reluctantly worshiped them, but they were not sincere.

One of them said, "Since you are here, let's go home together. How can you let your guests stay outside?"

When Dad Shi heard the word "guest", his heart sank and was still waiting to refuse. However, a servant who went back to report the letter rushed to the carriage from the Hou Mansion to pick him up and invited him warmly, "My wife heard that the old master of the Shi family is here, so please ask him to go back to the house!"

Mr. Shi was a little confused. These servants obviously avoided the title of in-laws and showed their birth, but if they really had no idea, how could Mrs. Hou invite them back home so enthusiastically?

Thinking about his own situation, the old man was still kind and thought about the people well, and the guest followed them as he pleased.

This is the first time Nianfu has returned to Hou’s house, so he can’t help but take a serious look.

The coachman seemed to know what she was thinking, but instead of entering the mansion, he pulled their grandparents and grandchildren to walk around the door of Hou's house.

If the Ouyang family’s five-enterprise mansion is compared to a calm and restrained lady, then the Hou family is the arrogant and wealthy daughter. Located on the most prosperous street in Xuancheng, there are endless guests.

Hou Fangyu looked at the colorful decorations at his doorstep, and felt a little embarrassed and explained embarrassedly, "My family is not like this usually. This is because they have to hold a birthday party for grandpa, so it is a little grand."

Nianfu didn't say anything, and Dad Shi said gently, "It should be."

As soon as the carriage turned around, they did not let them get off the gate where the guests entered and left, but they walked around the secluded corner door behind the top.

Hou Fangyu suddenly had an attack, "Why park the car here? Hurry back to the gate!"

The coachman laughed, "The young master doesn't know that because there are many guests coming and going, it is inevitable that guests will point fingers when they walk in front. It's better to go in from here and go directly to the backyard, so as to avoid any more trouble. Let the guests come down quickly, the wife is still waiting inside."

After hearing this, Dad Shi hurriedly said, "That's this. Nianfu, let's get off the bus."

Seeing that the old man had already gotten up and walked out, Hou Fangyu had to give up, but drove away the servant who wanted to help, and personally set up a small ladder for their grandparents and grandchildren, and helped the two of them one by one.

Seeing Nianfu's lips softly say thank you, Hou Fangyu's heart was sweeter than honey. He threw away the unhappiness just now, walked in front and personally led their grandparents and grandchildren into the door.

Just after passing a hanging flower door, a young woman in a gorgeous dress came up to chat, "Oh, I'm just looking forward to your golden phoenix back! If I don't come back, my mother will pick you up in person."

Hou Fangyu felt a little embarrassed and turned around and introduced, "This is my third sister, who loves to joke the most."

The third aunt of the Hou family walked over and took Nianfu's hand, "Is this the little girl of the Mu family? She is so beautiful."

Nianfu generously treated her with a blessing, "Good grandma, third aunt."

Hou Fangyu was stunned by such a clearly visible name, but Hou Sangu was very satisfied, "What a sensible girl. If you see her, you will be happy. By the way, you must be exhausted from traveling a long distance, right? Otherwise, you might as well take your sister back to your room to rest, wash your face, or something, and see you again."

Hou Fangyu choked up, not saying that his mother was waiting to see his wife? Why did he ask someone to go back to the room again? But Mr. Shi had already nodded politely, "I am tired and have some trouble."

Looking at the dusty look on the two ancestors and grandchildren, Hou Fangyu thought about it and said, "Then you go back to your room to rest first, I will look back and see you."

Seeing that his younger brother was not making trouble again, Hou Sangu was relieved, and smiled all over his face, personally sent Nianfu and the others to the guest room. He pretended to be angry and patted his younger brother, "You are not going back to the room to wash? Look at this dirty thing, it's all mud monkey!"

Hou Fangyu ran away with a chuckle, and soon Nianfu's grandson arrived at the room arranged for them, a very secluded small courtyard.

Hou Sangu led them in and said with a smile, "Don't be surprised. There are many distinguished guests in the house, and the front is full of living. Although this place is remote, it is rare to be quiet. It is also in the back house, and it has just been cleaned, but it is comfortable to live there."

Dad Shi continued to smile and be kind, but Nianfu walked to the table, intentionally or unintentionally stretched out his fingers to a large vase on the table, and his fingers suddenly turned black.

She seemed to be careless and patted her hands gently in front of Hou Sangu, then lifted the teapot and poured it down. The tea was full, and there was no heat at all. Judging from the quality, it might be overnight.

Nianfu just didn't know, and brought the tea to Hou Sangu, "I'm sorry, my grandmother, please take a sip of tea."

The smile on Hou Sangu's face froze. After receiving the tea, he scolded the little girl outside, "I can't even do this little thing well, what's the use of supporting you?"

Dad Shi thought that this might be just an accident, so he came out to smooth things over, but when he saw Nianfu wave his hand quietly at him, Dad Shi swallowed the words he said.

I saw four or five little girls coming in, and I was in a panic, not only those who were holding rags to wipe dust, but also those who also went to the bed to change the bedding that looked bright on the surface.

Seeing this, Dad Shi's face sank three times. He let his granddaughter help him sit down in the hall and said nothing.

Hou Sangu felt really embarrassed and wanted to say something, but saw that the old man had closed his eyes, and Nianfu buried his head and ignored him.

Hou Sangu couldn't walk away, so he had to stand there and directed the little girls to clean up the house carefully, change the bedding and hot water, and then stepped forward to laugh, "It's all done, why don't you rest first?"

Dad Shi nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Hou Sangu was blessed and left like a gust of wind.

Nianfu and grandpa looked at each other, and they even staggered their eyes and mixed feelings.

After waiting for a while, Nianfu said, "Grandpa, I'll give you water and wash your face."

The old man nodded softly, but there was a sense of helplessness in his old voice.

Over there, Hou Sangu had already walked up to Mrs. Hou, "That girl is not a stupid person, nor is she easy to deal with."

After Mrs. Hou asked the story, she sneered, "So what if you have some clever tricks? No matter how good you are, you are just a tofu seller. I will have your own arrangements when you go and bring someone at dinner. By the way, let someone watch over the young master, don't let him get too close to that girl!"

Before he finished speaking, someone started clamoring outside the window, "What do you mean that I am not allowed to get too close to people?"

As he spoke, Hou Fangyu had already opened the curtain and broke in. He relied on his family to spoil him, and said angrily, "I thought you were willing to accept her, and I wanted to thank you. I didn't expect you to be beaten someone behind the scenes! I don't care, she is my wife ordered by my grandfather. No matter whether you like it or not, I will marry her!"

Mrs. Hou was angry and angry, "Is there anyone who shouted to her mother like this?"

But after all, he felt guilty, so after yelling, he could not continue to be fierce to his son. He only took the servants to vent his anger, "Are you all dead? You can't even give me a notice? There are no rules!"

Hou Sangu has always been smooth, otherwise Mrs. Hou would not have called her daughter back as a helper. Seeing this, she hurried forward to smooth things over. "Brother, you've heard it awkwardly. Mom is not what you meant. Although you and Sister Mu are engaged, they are unmarried couples after all. Wouldn't it be a gossip when they always meet? Even we should avoid suspicion, so that the little girl's family will be embarrassed."

After all, he was his biological mother, and Hou Fangyu was unwilling to think about Mrs. Hou too badly. When the third sister said it was reasonable, her arrogance disappeared.

Hou Sangu smiled and pushed him in front of his mother again, "My mother said she would prepare a table to welcome people tonight. You just came and make a fuss. Why don't you go over and apologize?"

Hou Fangyu was only happy. Anyway, he was the youngest at home and was used to being shameless since he was a child. Even though he was in front of his sister, he had the nerve to get out of Mrs. Hou's arms.

Mrs. Hou couldn't hold back her face and pushed him away with a smile, "How old are you, you're still like a child!"

After being tired for a moment, he sent his son away. Mrs. Hou asked someone to take out a piece of the finished clothes in the box and give it to her daughter. "I heard that this material was sent to Beijing for nobles. Your father finally got two pieces, but your brother took away one piece, and only this piece was left. If you give it to the three sisters, it would not be enough to divide it. You can use it quietly to make new clothes, just don't say it was given by me."

Hou Sangu knew it was a reward for her, so she accepted it without hesitation. e="Chengxi"]
