The night was dark, with bright lights on in the main hall.
Old Madam Hu was wearing new clothes and holding the house site map, sitting on the armchair with Mr. Hu, looking very proud.
"I knew my son Yunshen would have great potential. When I was pregnant with him, I dreamed of a black snake entering my belly. That was a very good omen."
After hearing what she said, Hu Mianmian held the bottle in Chen Qingyin's arms, drinking while showing disdain.
If a black snake enters one's stomach, the person will most likely be born a military commander. But the fact that Hu Yunshen was raised like this is not a good sign.
Hu Lan also said: "My elder brother is brave and powerful. He is now a fourth-rank general and will definitely be a first-rank escort flag captain in the future!"
She couldn't help but fantasize: "By then, I will be Captain Hu's biological sister, and all the ladies in the capital will envy me!"
Old Madam Hu and Old Master Hu laughed at the same time, as if they were both thinking of the better days.
Chen Qingyin's face was calm. She said, "It's getting late. Let's finish dividing the yard as soon as possible so that father and mother can rest early."
Old Madam Hu looked at her somewhat unhappily, as if blaming Chen Qingyin for disrupting their fantasies about the future.
"I have already divided it up, Yun Shen, show it to your wife."
Hu Yunshen brought the divided housing plot map to Chen Qingyin.
Mother and daughter watched it together.
Hu Mianmian couldn't help but complain in her heart that this old lady Hu had given the largest and best courtyard to her.
You are so nice!
The large house has three entrances and three exits and four wonderful large courtyards.
The one in the middle facing the sun was taken by Old Madam Hu herself, another one was given to Hu Lan, another one was given to Rong'er, and the other one was Hu Yunshen's.
Logically, Chen Qingyin and Hu Yunshen are husband and wife and should live in the same yard.
But after taking a look, Chen Qingyin spoke lightly, pointing to a beautiful courtyard on the south side of the house site map.
"I like quietness, so I'll live here with Mianmian."
That big house was formed by connecting two mansions. The location chosen by Chen Qingyin was so far away from the Hu family that it was not an exaggeration to say that it was on the left and the right.
Those who didn't know would think she wanted to divide the house!
When Mrs. Hu saw this, she was very happy, because this was her own request.
Originally, I didn't want to give her the good yard.
Hu Yunshen was stunned, but said: "Qingyin, such a narrow yard is not convenient for me to live in."
Chen Qingyin smiled perfunctorily: "My husband can sleep in that yard by himself. Now Mianmian has to sleep with me every night, otherwise she won't sleep well."
In order to cooperate with her mother, Hu Mianmian nodded repeatedly.
Hu Yunshen listened to this and did not insist any more.
This is good. Now that Chen Qingyin is not under his watch, he can spend more time with Liang Yunyan.
"Then just listen to your wife." Hu Yunshen was exceptionally gentle.
Madam Hu felt very satisfied: "Since this is decided, let's go home. When the time comes to move, just have the servants move your belongings into the yard."
At this moment, Chen Qingyin said calmly: "Wait a minute, mother, is there someone missing?"
"Who's missing?"
"Aunt Gao, why don't I see her yard on this house site map?"
Grandma Gao, who was holding the drowsy Rong'er, was stunned.
She never thought that Chen Qingyin would actually speak for her?
Old Madam Hu glanced at Grandma Gao, her face a little gloomy.
"Madam Gao needs to take care of Rong'er, so she can just live in the side room in my yard."
"How can that be possible? Aunt Gao is Uncle Rong's biological mother, and she is no longer considered Mother's servant. If people outside knew that we were harsh on Aunt Gao, what would they think of us?"
As she spoke, Chen Qingyin directly designated a small courtyard for Grandma Gao.
"Aunt Gao, you can live here when the time comes. It's close to Uncle Rong's yard and it will be convenient for you to serve him. What do you think?"
Grandma Gao was startled and quickly looked at Old Madam Hu's face, only to see that Old Madam Hu was staring at her with a threatening look.
If you dare to agree, give it a try!
Grandma Gao was about to refuse, but Hu Mianmian seized the opportunity and waved her hand.
It's so boring to lie to people. Let us all hear what you really think.
Grandma Gao knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Madam, the arrangement is very good. I have always wanted to have my own room."
As soon as the words came out, the Hu family was shocked.
Madam Hu was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "Madam Gao, I didn't expect you to have such high aspirations. You are just a servant, and you dare to dream of having your own yard?"
Grandma Gao was very anxious: "That's not what I meant!"
Hu Mianmian smiled secretly. Her power had greatly improved now. It seemed that it would not be a problem to persuade someone with a weak mind like Grandma Gao to speak her mind.
Chen Qingyin tried to smooth things over, her tone gentle and she seemed very considerate.
"Mother, it's just a courtyard. Aunt Gao gave birth to a son for father in his old age, so her status should be noble. Besides, she has her own courtyard, so it's easier for her to serve father."
In one sentence, it was like a bolt of lightning, striking the Hu family directly.
They almost forgot that Madam Gao was now Master Hu's aunt and could help Master Hu sleep!
Madam Hu's face twisted with anger: "She dares!"
Mr. Hu looked at Grandma Gao, as if he was thinking about something. For a moment, his face was tense and he didn't say anything.
Chen Qingyin asked Hu Yunshen directly: "What do you think, my husband?"
Hu Lan said first: "My father is old now, what else can he do to serve him?"
This sentence made Mr. Hu completely unhappy.
"Lan'er! How can you be so rude? I think what Qingyin said is right. Since Concubine Gao is Rong'er's biological mother, it's not too much for her to have her own courtyard."
Old Madam Hu turned to look at him in shock.
This means that Master Hu also agrees that Grandma Gao can sleep with him occasionally! ?
Grandma Gao kowtowed hurriedly: "I dare not, I dare not!"
Chen Qingyin motioned to Linlang to help her up.
"Madam Gao, please stop calling yourself a slave. We are going to move to a big mansion soon. As my husband's official position gets higher and higher, more and more nobles will come to visit our house. First of all, we must follow the rules and treat you well. Otherwise, if outsiders see us, it will be bad."
Hu Yunshen heard this and nodded gently: "Madam is right. In this case, let's arrange a courtyard for Aunt Gao."
Old Madam Hu glared at her son.
He actually helped an outsider to establish a concubine for his father?
Hu Yunshen thought, what's the big deal about a courtyard?
Isn't Liang Yunyan also from the same courtyard?
Madam Hu was about to object, but Mr. Hu stood up and said, "Okay! It's getting late, so let's just do it. Qingyin, you can arrange the moving matters when the time comes. It will be safer for you."
Chen Qingyin smiled and said, "Don't worry, father."
She's bound to screw up.
Hu Mianmian clapped her hands with joy.
Great, it's time to watch the fun again! Mother's first fight back, great fight!
Chen Qingyin's smile behind her red lips was cold.
Old Madam Hu thought it was normal for her son to have a mistress, so why couldn't she tolerate it when it was her husband's turn to have a concubine?
I'm angry now, and you'll have to suffer in the future!
