The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 14

Mrs. Wang smiled sweetly, stood where she was and did not move, and said, "My cousin was joking, how can it be long time no see? I just met three years ago, did my cousin forget?"

Why couldn't Xuan Lindao hear that Wang Shi didn't welcome him very much, he hadn't seen him for three years, could days be considered short?Hearing what Wang said inside and outside the meaning, it was only three years ago, why did he come out again, and still have the face to go to Chang'an to find our family, although I heard the meaning, but since we have all come to Chang'an, we can't just because Mrs. Wang's words made her go back disheartened. She has already reached the gate of the Xuanweihou Mansion. Xuan Lindao was a little embarrassed, but he forced a smile and said: "How can my cousin say that? My wife and I came to Chang'an , I’m not here to visit my cousin’s family, of course the most important thing is to come to worship the ancestor.”

"Oh? Worshiping the ancestors? Why didn't you see my cousin's family in the past two years? This year, why did my cousin think of coming to Chang'an to worship the ancestors? Jing'er and I are in Chang'an, living a good life, don't bother my cousin I miss you." Wang said: "Furthermore, the ancestors have always been enshrined by the descendants of the descendants, when will it be the turn of the offspring to remember the ancestors? Why did my cousin want to ask for Erxianzhuang three years ago?" It’s nothing more than a big power, after three years, I will not pursue it, could it be that today I want to overthrow the ethics and snatch the ancestor?"

Wang's words were thorny, and he didn't leave any room for Xuan Lindao. It can be seen that these two people really persecuted Wang very hard.

"Sister-in-law, what you said is serious. After all, Lin Dao is also the eldest brother's cousin. Even if he can't enshrine the ancestor, he can be regarded as the filial piety that the descendants should do. Besides, what about Jing'er?" It is also our nephew, the blood of the Xuan family. Although he is a direct descendant, he and my husband are relatives who have broken bones and are still connected. I have not come to see her in the past two years. My sister, I already feel guilty in my heart. , No, I came to Chang’an with my husband during the Chinese New Year this year.” Mrs. Li walked out from behind Xuan Lindao and looked at the gate of the Hou’s Mansion: “Hey, isn’t this the original Qin Palace? Sister-in-law spent the past three years in Chang'an really well."

"Don't bother my sister. Since the two of you are here to pay homage to the Zong Priest to fulfill your filial piety, I won't say anything more. Worshiping the Zong Priest will have to wait until the New Year. How can you say that Lin Dao is also Mingde?" Cousin, since you are here in Chang'an, if the Hou Mansion doesn't greet you, it will be very impersonal." Wang said with narrowed eyes.

Hearing Wang's words, Xuan Lindao and his wife showed subtle smiles on their faces. Li stepped forward to bless Fu's body and said, "Then my sister is here to thank my cousin."

"Sister, you're welcome." Madam Wang put on the air of being the mistress, held her hands up, then turned her head and smiled at Zhong Zisuo and said, "Zisuo, make arrangements to book a room at the biggest inn in Chang'an City." The room is given to my cousin and his wife, and the money comes from our Marquis House, which can be regarded as a kindness of the landlord, and saves others from saying that we treat our relatives badly. Remember, it must be the best inn, and you can’t wrong your cousin and younger siblings. "

Zhong Zishuo suppressed a smile, and promised, "Madam, don't worry, Zishuo will try his best to entertain Mr. Xuan Lindao and his wife." Zhong Zishuo did not call Xuan Lindao "Master Biao" like Xiao Huan. After the arrangements were made, he went back to the mansion and told the servants that this was Mr. Xuan Lindao, not some kind of lord.

Xiao Huan, who was hiding behind the gate, heard his wife say this, and the butler Zhong, who usually had a serious face, followed his wife. He couldn't help but laughed, then turned and ran to the study, she wanted to see her Yes, tell my little lord.

"Sister-in-law, we came all the way to Chang'an to stay in a hotel. This...isn't right." Xuan Lindao said cautiously.

"It's really inconvenient." Mrs. Wang thought about it.

A smile appeared on Xuan Lindao's face.

"But that's something that can't be helped." Wang continued: "My eldest brother, Sun Simiao, lives in the Hou's Mansion now. He came to Chang'an to treat the Empress. Sure, cousin, do you know that Big Brother Sun is concerned with the safety of the empress, if something goes wrong, it will end in ransacking the family and exterminating the family."

Zhong Zishuo lowered his head and tried his best not to laugh. He really didn't expect that his wife's flickering would be so smooth, and even Daoist Sun would get involved. Once the royal family was involved, Xuan Lindao would be emboldened He didn't dare to say anything more.

Xuan Lindao's smile instantly froze on his face.

Mrs. Li saw why her husband was so useless, she stepped forward with a dry smile and said, "This... Cousin, look, we have all come to Chang'an, with your relative here, why should we stay in an inn?"

"Our two families are relatives? My sister knew that our two families were relatives when she and Lindao went to Erxian Village three years ago?" An angry look faintly flashed on Wang's face. There are such brazen people in the world.

"Cousin-in-law, it's true that I did something wrong three years ago, but you can't be so unfeeling, right?" Xuan Lindao showed bitterness: "Even if you don't look at my husband and wife, as an aunt, you still have to look at me. For the sake of the child, Shiqing, come here, I have met your aunt." Xuan Lindao pulled a seven or eight-year-old child from behind: "Cousin, this is your nephew, Li Shiqing."

"Shiqing met Auntie." Li Shiqing saluted Wang sternly and said hello.

"Son, don't rush to shout, let me ask you, are you Xuan Lindao's son?" Wang looked at Li Shiqing seriously.

"Yes." Li Shiqing raised his head, looked at Wang Shi and replied.

Wang's eyes turned completely cold: "Lindao, you have joined the Li family."

Xuan Lindao lowered his head, faltering and saying nothing.

"Yes, Lindao married into my Li family, and my Li family can be regarded as a well-known family in Hanzhong, so Lindao can't be wronged." Mrs. Li came out and said.

Looking at Xuan Lindao with her head down, Wang sighed in her heart, feeling a little helpless, but her voice was still cold: "Okay, I allow you to live in the Hou's Mansion, Lindao, this is the last time you will pay homage to the ancestor. After this time, you have nothing to do with the Xuan family."

"Cousin, I..." Xuan Lindao was about to say something when Li Shi grabbed her.

"That sister thanked my sister-in-law here." Li said with a smile, tugged at Xuan Lindao's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "I will live in the Hou's mansion first."

Mrs. Wang ignored Mrs. Li's little gesture, turned around and said to Zhong Zisuo, "Zisuo, clean up a quieter yard."

"Yes." Zhong Zishuo understood what Madam meant, which was to arrange them farther away from the backyard, out of sight and out of mind.

"Although you have lived in the Hou's Mansion, you have to abide by the rules of the high gate of the Hou's Mansion. You are not allowed to walk around in the mansion without any business, and you are not allowed to treat the wronged servants badly. Otherwise, you will pack up and go back to Shanxi. Let's go." Wang Shi suppressed her anger, and after finishing speaking, she let out a cold snort and walked into the Hou's mansion.

At the end, Xuan Lindao still lowered his head, stood where he was, and then was forcibly pulled by Mrs. Li, followed Zhong Zishuo, and entered the Xuanwei Hou Mansion.

Xuan Shijing in the study could not help showing a smile when he heard Xiao Huan's report, he never thought that when his mother still had such a girlish heart, she would hit someone with a gun and a stick. People enjoy themselves.

If Xuan Shijing were to handle this matter, Xuan Shijing might not use a more secure method than Wang's.

"Little Lord~" Xiao Huan ran into the study again in a blink of an eye.

"What's the matter?" Xuan Shijing put the pine egg in his hand on the desk, raised his head and looked at Xiao Huan who rushed in.

"Young Master, Madam let them live in the Hou's Mansion." Xiao Huan said out of breath.

"Oh?" Xuan Shijing narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "This is really interesting."

Xuan Shijing didn't know that Wang's willingness to let Xuan Lindao and his wife live in the Hou's mansion this time was because they wanted to make a complete settlement with them after they finished the New Year's worship and sacrifice to the ancestors.

"They want to live in the Hou's mansion so hard, what exactly do they want to do?" Xuan Mingju squinted his eyes, rubbed his chin and thought, even pushed out the child, so eager to live in the Hou's mansion, Xuan Lin Dow Lee. .

"Long'er, find a servant who was brought over from Erxian Village, and ask him to keep an eye on my cousin and the others, and if he finds anything unusual, tell me immediately." Xuan Shijing ordered.

"Yes, Young Master." Long'er responded.
