041: Silk Village

As soon as Qiu's mother walked out of Mrs. Zheng's yard, she heard someone calling behind her. She turned around and saw a girl's body leaning out under a willow tree.

Qiu's mother stopped and looked at her suspiciously.

When the girl saw Qiu's mother turn her head, she ran over and smiled at Qiu's mother, "Qiu's mother, our third aunt invites you to come over."

The girl was wearing a light cyan narrow-sleeved jacket, with a thin skirt, a double moon bun, and a pair of slender eyes looking at Qiu's mother with a smile.

Isn't this obviously the water moon in the third aunt's room?

"The third aunt is looking for an old man, but what's the matter?" Qiu's mother asked Shuiyue with a smile, but she didn't move at all. Good, hiding behind the willow tree and calling himself, thinking about it, there must be something shady. Qiu Ma Ping Suri didn't like such a timid demeanor, and she didn't plan to take care of this water moon at the moment.

"Oh, oh," Shuiyue knew that Qiu's mother was not a good role to deal with, and then said with a smile, "It was my master who wanted to ask Qiu's mother about something. I went to the master's room, but you were not here. Hearing that the servant said that you had come to the ancestral room, I thought that I could not go back to the master alone, so I came here to wait for you.

With that, he made a pitiful look and said, "Good Qiu Ma, please go back with me to return the master. I'm young, and I'm afraid I'll be scolded again.

"Look at what you said," Qiu's mother stared at the water moon with a smile and said, "How can my mother Qiu do? Do you dare to disobey the master's life?"

After saying that, he walked towards the third aunt's room with Shuiyue.

"Third aunt, Aunt Qiu is here." Shuiyue picked up the curtain and welcomed Qiu's mother in.

"Mother Qiu," the third aunt was turning over the account book at the table. Seeing that Aunt Qiu was coming, she hurriedly said, "Sit down quickly."

"Third Aunt Xie," Qiu's mother glanced at the account book, then saluted with a smile and said, "I'm just a subordinate. How can I be on an equal footing with your master? I just stand here. What do you need? Please tell me."

This statement was polite but cold. She stuffed back all the kindness of the third aunt. She was so angry that the third aunt looked up at Aunt Qiu, then took a deep breath and laughed, "Mother Qiu, what are you talking about? Don't say it's us. Our ancestors regarded you as their own. You have been with your ancestors for so many years, and you have done your best for our Houfu. None of us will only regard Qiu's mother as a servant.

After saying that, he said again, "Please sit down, Mom Qiu. Don't you look down on my aunt?"

"The third aunt is broken." Qiu's mother bowed and smiled and said, "Qi's mother didn't mean to look down on the third aunt. If your aunt needs anything to help, please tell me. There's a lot of things in charge, and I'm still waiting for the old man to go back to deal with."

Seeing that Qiu's mother was so soft and hard, she stared at Qiu's mother for a long time with anger, but finally calmed down, sat up straight with a smile and looked at Qiu's mother with a smile.

"Mom Qiu, I didn't treat you as an outsider. Thinking of my third aunt, I entered the Hou Mansion at the age of 16. My youth and the most beautiful years are all spent in this deep house. The third aunt said, and she didn't feel a little more melancholy. "I think I'm all the same with the old marquis and try my best to keep my duty. In the past few years, since I have taken care of the silk farm, the business has been booming. For my Hou family, it is more or less an entry.

"The third aunt and the old marquis are in love, and we, the current people, see it in our eyes. In the past few years, the third aunt has worked even harder for the family business of the Hou family. I believe that the old lady and the marquis are both in their eyes. Qiu's mother nodded and said yes.

"Alas," the third aunt sighed and continued to say, "How can I be strong in my life that I have such an unmotivated son who only knows rouge gouache all day long. How can I ever do anything serious?"

After saying that, he reached out to get the account book: "I often tell him that I don't want to go to the battlefield, even if I learn to do business and take care of the family business. But he didn't listen. He thought that he was still a child at that time, and he knew how to play all day. I have to take care of this silk farm alone. At least, I have managed it a little better in the past few years.

As the third aunt said, she paused again, and the afterglow of the corners of her eyes quietly glanced at Qiu's mother.

There was an indifferent smile on Qiu's mother's lips. She nodded and said with a smile, "It's really difficult for the third aunt."

"It's hard to say," the third aunt seemed to be very satisfied with the step that Aunt Qiu found for herself. She naturally walked down from this step and said, "It's just that I'm a woman who shows up, and I will always be a little aggrieved. If it is not done well, my third aunt is still unwilling. At least it is also the business of our Hou family. It has a little progress, and it is better than pointing to the salary of the court alone. If you do it well, people will say that you are a girl and get involved in this business, and it doesn't make sense. Alas."

The third aunt sighed and said, "And now she is not as young as before. She is Zhang Luo, and she can't move. How is the business of this silk farm good?

Qiu's mother didn't say anything, but quietly waited for the third aunt's follow-up.

Seeing that Qiu's mother did not respond, the third aunt changed the topic and said with a smile, "I heard that the old lady's intention is to let Yan Er take over the affairs of the Hou family?"

"The third aunt, for a long time, the big and small affairs of the Hou Mansion should have been managed by his wife, but she did not take over this." Qiu's mother hurriedly said, "Qiu's mother is just a stewmer. Because the old lady left early, Qiu's mother first talked about the big things in the house. The former son was because Mrs. Rong was still young, but now the ancestors mentioned that Mrs. Rong would be in charge. Mother Qiu was happy to be here.

"Oh, that's, that's it." The third aunt nodded with a smile, but her hand secretly clenched her sleeve for a long time, and then let go. "Mom Qiu, I just said it, and I didn't treat you as an outsider. You said, I have been taking care of this silk farm before, and now Yan'er is in charge. It's a little inappropriate for my aunt to continue to take care of the silk farm, isn't it?"

"The third aunt took good care of the silk house, but she didn't feel anything wrong. It's just..."

"Oh?" The third aunt's mind moved and turned to Qiu's mother.

"It's just that for the third aunt, the second son, it's really like a day." Aunt Qiu smiled and said respectfully, "If the second son has no intention to make a difference in his official career, it will be a good thing to take care of the business."

"Qiu Ma really went to the place I thought of." The third aunt smiled happily and nodded repeatedly, "That's what I think."

"Qiu Ma is a rude person, how can there be such a delicate thought as the third aunt." Qiu's mother said with a smile, "If the third aunt has nothing else to do, the old man will leave first."

Seeing that Qiu's mother's figure disappeared in front of her, the smile on the third aunt's face slowly converged and then fell silent.

"This old man is really hinting at me." A cold smile appeared on the third aunt's lips, and her eyes were extremely gloomy. "It seems that she has known it for a long time."

After saying that, he turned to Shuiyue and said, "Go, call me that evil account."

Shuiyue naturally knew who the "evil account" in the third aunt's mouth was, so she hurriedly answered and turned around. After a while, I saw Luo Feng walking slowly with Shuiyue.

"Where are you going again?" The third aunt saw that Luo Feng was wearing a long shirt with a stone blue embroidered lily, a blue belt with cat's eye stone around his waist, a silver crown with a black hair, and a paper fan swayed gently in front of her chest, which was indescribably elegant. At that moment, it was known that Luo Feng must be going out to fool around again, and his face sank again with anger.

"It's nothing. I made an appointment with Prince Xiao to go out for a walk together." Luo Feng replied indifferently.

Hearing that Luo Feng was making friends with some dignitaries, the third aunt's face also calmed down. She pointed to the chair next to her and said, "Sit down."

Luo Feng looked at the chair, then raised his eyebrows and sat down.

"Do you know that Rong Yan has taken over the affairs of the Hou Mansion?" The third aunt asked Luo Feng.

Luo Feng made an expression of no expression and did not answer.

"In this way, it must be inappropriate for me to continue to do the silk farm. If she wants to take it back, my aunt has nothing to say, but if you do it, she will have nothing to say. The third aunt said slowly, "At least you are also the son of the marquis. It's not a good thing to be idle all day long. I thought, it's time for you to make a career.

After saying that, he slowly moved his eyes to Luo Feng's body.

This seems to be the first time that the mother and son looked at each other so calmly. Luo Feng did not look away or smile disdainfully on his face, but waited for the third aunt's words to continue.

"After this year, you are already 19 years old. It may not be a good thing to go on like this." The third aunt sighed and said, "Orither, ask your eldest brother to arrange a position for you in the army; or I will donate an official position to you; or you can take care of the silk business first. What do you want?"

Looking at the inquiry in the third aunt's eyes, Luo Feng's eyes narrowed slightly and smiled. He shook the paper fan, thought for a moment, and then said, "I was born today, but I have my own choice?"

After saying that, he leaned forward, approached the third aunt, and whispered, "It's you who still want to master that silk farm?"

"What are you talking about?" The third aunt's face turned gloomy and said andly, "I'm not doing it for you?"

"Are you doing it for me?" Luo Feng sneered, "I was born. When I grow up, which one didn't ask you? In the end, is it for you for me?"

"Buncle!" The third aunt was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Luo Feng. This slap was hitting Luo Feng's shoulder, but the strength was not small.

"When did you start not to hit me in the face?" Luo Feng glanced at her third aunt and said with a smile, "It's up to you. It's good to play with me."

After saying that, he got up and walked to the door.

"Hold," the third aunt shouted. Seeing Luo Feng's footsteps pause, she said, "Even if you take over, you have to take care of it for me. Dare to relax a little. Let's see how I can hit you!"

Luo Feng just turned around, smiled disapprovingly and said, "Are you still moved?" After saying that, he strode away.

"You!" The third aunt stood there angrily, looking at Luo Feng's back, but she hated it so much that she couldn't even speak.
