Chapter 1

In the eleventh year of Jiajing, a winter snow enveloped the capital early. Yesterday it snowed all night. When I woke up this morning, the sky and the earth were white, and the ground was covered with silver frost.

The servants of Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion got up early in the morning to sweep the snow, the brooms scraped on the ground, making a rhythmic "clump" sound, against the background, the courtyard became more and more quiet.

The two maidservants with stubble hair held the soup cup and walked down the porch in small steps. These two are different from the maids who sweep the floor. They are the maids by the master's side. They usually don't have to do rough work. They wear bright clothes, have high hair, and if they are favored by the master, they can wear jewelry. They live more delicate than ordinary ladies. .

Therefore, these maids raised their heads wherever they went, feeling extremely high-spirited. The maid in a red jacket lowered her voice and whispered to her companion: "Have you heard that the marriage between the Marquis and the third maid of Yongping Marquis is set. After the old marquis's mourning period, it will be in the spring tomorrow. The road is clear."

The maid next to him in a lake-green suit sneered, "Isn't this what it should be? The Marquis became a lord when he was only twenty years old. The three girls of Yongping Marquis's Mansion are the niece of Marquis Wuding, and the Marquis works with Marquis Wuding. Now the Fu family and the Hong family are married, it's called kissing and kissing, and everyone is very happy."

The maid who spoke earlier heard it, and kept pouting towards the courtyard in the northwest: "If Lord Hou and Miss Hou San of Yongping get engaged... which one?"

Hulu Bijia's maid glanced forward, and said neither yin nor yang: "The original form is complete, let's go back to everyone. She is just the daughter of an ordinary military household, and the family is still in the family. Her father's kindness for defending the old Hou Ye on the battlefield, she can enjoy ten years of wealth in the Hou Mansion, and she should be content. The old Hou Ye was really confused, and he wanted her to marry the Hou Ye, the old Hou said. That's all, she really regards herself as Mrs. Hou?"

The red-dressed maid was somewhat sighed: "She has lived in Hou's mansion for ten years. From the age of seven to seventeen, she has been by his side. There are several decades in a woman's life, and she is so old. What can you say about the marriage in the future?"

Hulubijia's maid was a little unhappy for some reason, she pouted and said, "How can you watch her marry another man? Don't pity her, her life is better than ours, maybe we will have to in the future. Call people a master."

"Shh!" The red-dressed maid quickly reminded her companion, motioning her to stop talking. A maid in a blue satin jacket lifted the curtain from the main room and happened to meet them. The blue coat maid had a light expression on her face and said, "It's so cold, why did the two sisters come over so early?"

The red-dressed maid secretly pinched her companion, and in a blink of an eye she put on a smile on her face: "Sister Feicui, good morning. It snowed last night, and the old lady was worried that the girl would be cold, so she specially made mutton custard in the kitchen and let us cook it for Wang. The girl brought it."

Jade glanced at the smiling face of the red-dressed maid, as if she hadn't heard the words just now, stepped aside and said, "There are two of you. Please come inside."

The maid in the red dress kept laughing, and the maid in Hulu Bijia knew that she was in trouble, so she lowered her head and went inside quietly to greet her. No matter how arrogant she was, she knew that she was a little bit tall. No matter what her background was, she was the benefactor of the Fu family, and she grew up with Lord Hou. With only childhood sweethearts, she was afraid that even the future Mrs. Hou would not be able to match. The third young lady of Yongping Hou's mansion is looking at the scenery now. After entering the mansion, she may not be able to compete for this one.
