Ji Man also noticed the gentle gaze, didn't turn his head, just sat upright with a smile. As a concubine, she only sat down because of the old lady's face, so it would be a bit out of line to interrupt.
The couple made the old lady happy, and they had a smooth meal. The old lady was no longer embarrassing and gentle, but Mo Yuhou glanced at Ji Man when he left the table, and said softly: "Sang Yu Really wiser."
Ji Man saluted him with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your compliment."
The old lady's eyes wandered around the three people in the room, and said calmly: "Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see Concubine Nie. I thought that Concubine Nie loves Sangyu, so I should take her with me. But now she What do you think of this identity...Xuan'er?"
Only regular wives or regular wives are eligible to enter the palace. Nie Sangyu is now just a concubine, half a servant girl of the Marquis Mansion, so naturally she cannot enter the palace.
The meaning of what the old lady said was to seek an identity for Sang Yu. After all, the status of a concubine is too low, and it is really shameful.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yuhou just smiled faintly: "Concubine Nie is thinking behind closed doors recently. Although the time is almost here, it is better for mother to wait a few days to see her. As for Sang Yu, she has nothing to do, and she can't afford to take care of her. The identity of a wife."
Although the words were true, they obviously slapped the old lady in the face. The old lady's face darkened again, and after a while of silence, she said: "That's all."
Her son has grown up and his wings are hardened, so she can't force him to do anything. It seemed that he was not as resistant to Sang Yu as before, and thought that he could pick up the opportunity and make Sang Yu an equal wife, so that he could explain to Concubine Nie. Unexpectedly, it was blocked back.
Sang Yu made mistakes first, even if she wanted to take sides, there was nothing she could do.
Ji Man is fine. Being a concubine can have meat to eat, someone to cover her, and earn extra money, so she said with a smile: "Old lady, I have new roses planted in my yard, and the garden is also beautiful." A new fish has arrived. I have time this afternoon, do you want us to walk around this mansion?"
The old lady turned her head to look at her, her complexion improved a bit: "Okay, I should walk more with my old bones."
Ji Man smiled, but Ning Yuxuan twitched the corner of his mouth where the old lady couldn't see.
To see her non-wange roses? The plaque has not been hung yet, and the courtyard is narrow, small and broken. What does the old lady think when she sees it? Don't blame him for abusing his wife, and force him to be promoted to Nie Sangyu's position in a fit of anger
Ning Yuxuan took a look at Ji Man over there, she smiled so innocently, and she was also pretty, compared to the old woman-resenting face, it was completely different. Originally, he wanted to stare at her, telling her not to take the old lady to Feiwan Pavilion, but this stare made him look dazed.
Nie Sangyu seemed to be no longer the Nie Sangyu she used to be. Although she had a mole on the back of her neck, after six years of dating, he felt she was beautiful for the first time. It was clearly the same face, but for some reason, he was a little curious about her now.
When he came back to his senses, he had already walked out of the main courtyard. Wen Wan took his hand, bit her lips for a long time before saying: "Yuxuan, why don't you be promoted to Sang Yu's position, a flat wife is a flat wife, as long as you only have me in your heart, I will be satisfied."
Ning Yuxuan turned to look at her, and said with a smile: "How can I be willing to let you suffer such grievances. The old lady is just partial to Nie Sangyu, but she can't break the rules."
"But..." Wen Wan said hesitantly: "Looking at how happy Sang Yu is coaxing the old lady, will the old lady be angry if she knows that you have used family law against her and let her live in the most remote east courtyard?" ?”
"No." Mo Yuhou comforted her softly, but his eyes were as deep as the sea: "I will take care of it, don't worry."
After the lunch break, Ji Man generously helped the old lady out. Along the way, he talked about the things that happened in the mansion these days, but he didn't mention that he had received the family law. He just said that he was concentrating on reciting the Buddha's name, correcting evil and returning to the right. The old lady was full of surprise: "You also started to recite the Buddha's name?"
Ji Man smiled slightly: "The servant girl is not as devout as the old lady. Even if you read it to calm your mind, you won't have to think about something you can't get."
The old lady praised: "It's good if you can let go, some things will come to you if you don't think about them. Inadvertently planting willows, on the contrary, it is easy to become a shade."
Ji Man smiled and said yes, helping the old lady through the bustling garden of the Hou Mansion, passing by the magnificent courtyards of several aunts, and it seemed that she was about to arrive at the remote Feiwan Pavilion.
Although Nie Sangyu is a concubine, she used to be Mo Yuhou's wife after all, and now the treatment can't be worse. There are only two rooms in Feiwan Pavilion, and there is still only one maidservant, Clover, and it's a little cold. When the autumn wind blows, it is not much better than Siguo Pavilion.
Ji Man admitted that she did it on purpose, deliberately asking the old lady to make decisions for her. With such a big backing, it's not in vain.
But as soon as he reached the intersection, he saw Mo Yuhou standing on the small road in front of him, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he turned around and said, "Mother came out for a walk?"
Seeing him, the old lady was a little surprised: "Is the prince all right today? Why are you idle in the mansion?"
As a close friend of the prince, Ning Yuxuan often went out to handle affairs with the prince, or drink and write poems. Today the prince also said that he wanted to go to Chunfeng Tower with him, but in order to solve the matter of Nie Sangyu, he resigned.
"Today the prince also wants to rest. It just so happens that the mother is back, and the son has not been seen for two months. It would be nice if he could spend more time with him." Mo Yuhou said softly.
Ji Man obviously felt that the old lady was in a better mood, and her son was thinking of her, which was naturally better than anything else.
"As long as you are interested, accompany us to the Feiwan Pavilion." The old lady said, "Sang Yuxin lives in this courtyard, and I haven't visited it yet."
Ning Yuxuan nodded, walked between Ji Man and the old lady, supported the old lady with one hand, and grabbed Ji Man's wrist with the other hand: "It's just right, I'll go with you."
His hands were hot, as if he had just done some exercise. Ji Man's ears were a little red, and he struggled twice and couldn't get away, so he watched him turn around with her and the old lady, and walked in another direction.
"Master Hou, aren't you going to Feiwan Pavilion?" Ji Man asked curiously.
Ning Yuxuan turned her head, her innocent eyes were reflected in her eyes, and she smiled lightly: "Yes, I'll take my mother there, just follow along."
Ji Man gritted his teeth, what is this guy doing? Feiwan Pavilion obviously won't go this way!
After crossing a small bridge, a plaque hanging at the entrance of the main courtyard of the east courtyard came into view.
Not late.
Jiman and Clover looked at the majestic Feiwan Pavilion in front of them, their jaws almost dropped. This is the East Courtyard, which is clearly the place for aunts or ordinary wives to live, but why is she living here as a concubine
The old lady nodded in satisfaction: "Xuan'er can still do things after all."
Mo Yuhou smiled slightly, and gave Ji Man a warning look.
Ji Man picked up her chin silently, come on, even if she could earn a big yard for her, she couldn't get it cheap and act good. But this Ning Yuxuan still looks like a dutiful son, he cares so much about the old lady's feelings. That Wen Wan will definitely be miserable in the future.
The roses in Feiwan Pavilion were blooming just right, the old lady walked in with Mo Yuhou, looked at the newly dug soil in the yard, didn't say much, just smiled.
"This yard is not worse than the Rose Garden, and it's quite suitable for Sangyu."
The mother and son agreed, Mo Yuhou agreed, and he was relieved.
The yard is empty and empty, and it is considered an old thing to use for this woman to live in, as long as the old lady dispels the idea of making her a second wife.
The old lady also asked Ji Man to use the dinner in the main courtyard. Wen Wan stood at the door with the dishes, looking at Ji Man sitting at the table, feeling a little embarrassed. After all, she is the main wife, but she is passing the dishes here. As a concubine, Nie Sangyu was sitting like a master.
Ji Man pretended not to see her eyes, and only turned his head to talk and laugh with the old lady: "Sang Yu was really stupid before."
"Yes." The old lady sighed: "When you married in, you were just a little girl, clamoring to grow old with Xuan'er forever."
Mo Yuhou sat on the side, raised his hand to let Wen Wan sit down, and did not intend to answer the old lady's words.
This doesn't hinder Ji Manfu. She glanced at Ning Yuxuan with tenderness in her eyes: "The old lady doesn't need to mention the young and frivolous things. Now that Lord Hou has a new wife, it is natural that he should grow old with him." Madame."
Wen Wan was clicked, and raised the corner of her mouth in embarrassment. She was a newcomer, so she had nothing to do with the topic back then, so she could only sit with her handkerchief in her hands.
"The old lady eats vegetables." Nie Sangyu heard that Alfalfa had said about the old lady's preferences, so she hurriedly served her vegetables.
"These dishes are made by Wan'er herself." Ning Yuxuan glanced at Ji Man, she felt comfortable holding the dishes, as if she made the dishes.
Ji Man retracted his chopsticks, hesitated for a moment, put down his chopsticks and smiled reluctantly: "Then ask Aunt Wu to serve the old lady with vegetables."
She can also pretend to be magnanimous and wronged. After watching too many TV dramas, it's easy to catch.
The old lady took a look at Mo Yuhou and put down her chopsticks too.
Wen Wan panicked at this moment, her eyes filled with grievances, "Yu Xuan."
Mo Yuhou took a deep look at Ji Man, and from his eyes Ji Man could read the disgust when they first met in the wedding hall.
She shrugged, but she didn't do anything, it was him who kept protecting Mistress Hu too tightly, making Nie Sangyu uncomfortable. Anyway, it's the second female lead, what's wrong with tripping the heroine a little bit
"The son knows his mistake, the son will serve the dishes to the mother himself." Ning Yuxuan raised the corner of his mouth, picked up the chopsticks and put the Sixi balls made by Wen Wan himself in the old lady's bowl.
The old lady looked at him calmly and said: "When I was young, I taught you loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, but I forgot to teach you what it means to be a poor wife. I acquiesced in her position as the main wife, but I don't want you to forget to accompany you because of this woman." Who is the person who walked together for so many years?"
Ning Yuxuan frowned slightly, feeling annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to talk back, so he could only lower his eyes and say: "My son knows."
