son-in-law

Chapter 12 Lin Xiao

There was an assassin in the princess's mansion, and the news spread quickly, Tang Yun, the chief steward of the East mansion, came to intervene in person.

"Who did my uncle offend?"

"It's a newcomer, and I have never offended anyone."

"In this way, the assassin may be targeting the young lady."

"Well, it should be."

Tang Yun sent additional staff near the princess mansion.This time, all the top experts in the Tang family were sent here. Judging by their speech, behavior and temperament, they are obviously different from ordinary people.His eyes were gloomy, and he was full of murderous looks.

In fact, there is also such a top expert in the princess mansion, but he only follows Tang Linger.When Tang Linger was not at home, he was naturally not at home.

In the evening, the little maids returned to the Princess's Mansion laughing and laughing, and Lin Wan also came back soon after, bringing another big maid with her. ——Wang Xun, Tang Linger's personal servant in brocade clothes.

Xiao Huan asked curiously: "You are all gone, who will take care of Miss?"

Wang Xun smiled and said: "Miss went to see the Queen Mother, but was kept overnight by the Queen Mother. But I can't stay."

"What about the Xiaojian?"

"Lin Xiao and the coachman stayed at the Office of Internal Affairs. They will accompany Miss back early tomorrow morning."

In fact, Wang Xun and Lin Wan came back early because they had something to do.But they didn't tell Xiaohuan.

And Lin Xiao is Tang Linger's personal entourage, and the youngest son of the old Tangmen swordsman Lin Shu, with outstanding swordsmanship.Usually everyone is used to respectfully call it "Xiaojian".

Xiao Huan smiled and said, "Big sister Wang Xun is lucky, it happens to be my uncle's treat tonight. My sister is coming to eat together."

Wang Xunhui said with a sly smile: "I heard Lin Wan mention it earlier. I came back just for this meal, otherwise I would have gone to the Duke's Mansion."

"What happened to the Duke's Mansion?"

"Haven't you heard? Tian Jing was seriously injured, it was very tragic. It is said that she almost failed to recover."

"Hey, the Duke's Mansion is also troubled by assassins?"

"Who knows, we didn't go to see it, we just heard about it."

The food delivery person from the restaurant came, and Su Yu ordered someone to set up a table in the main hall of the princess mansion and invite everyone to sit.

Lin Wan came to Su Yu, and said with concern: "Since my uncle is injured, I don't need to accompany everyone. Go back to the house and rest."

Su Yu said: "It's okay. I want to have fun with everyone."

In the noble families of the Liang Dynasty, meals were shared, and the servants would usually huddle together to eat.

Today my aunt treats guests, treats all the maids according to the formal etiquette of nobles, and arranges a small table for each of them.

Su Yu himself sat in the front seat, with two small tables in front of him, and Lin Wan and Wang Xun with their hands next to Su Yu.The other maids all entered the table one by one, only Xiao Huan was still standing beside Su Yu to serve her.

Su Yu ordered Xiao Huan to sit down and eat with him.

Xiaohuan refused at first, saying that she would be punished if she broke the rules.Later, under the persuasion of Lin Wan and Wang Xun, he sat beside Su Yu with a jerky expression.

The new son-in-law looked like an easy-going person, and the maids, big and small, didn't care about him, talking and laughing at the table.

Su Yu also talked about some interesting things that happened around him.He said that he had a poet friend named Xu Luochen who was well-known in Huazhou.Xu Luochen lived and studied at his husband's house when he was young, and fell in love with his young lady.One night, Xu Luochen wrote a note and asked the book boy to secretly pass it to the lady, which said "Actually, I have noticed you for a long time".After a while, the lady sent back a note.Xu Luochen couldn't wait to open it and take a look: "Please don't tell father, I promise I will never peek at banned books again."

When everyone heard this, they roared with laughter.

Su Yu had a lot of small jokes in his stomach, and he said a few in a row, and the atmosphere in the hall became more active.

During the dinner, Xiao Huan moved her head closer, her face was tight, and she said in a low voice: "Master, something bad happened."

"what happened?"

"I didn't prepare a gift from Wang Xun."

"Oh... don't worry, hide the original gift for Lin Wan. Neither of them need to give it away."

"what?"

"You don't have to worry about it, I will have something to say then."

"Oh…"

I don't know if it was to save money, the banquet dishes ordered by Xiao Huan were not high-end, but Su Yu praised Xiao Huan as a gourmet, saying that Xiao Huan's dishes were very good and everyone was satisfied.

Xiao Huan smiled and said nothing.

Su Yu added another sentence: People with gluttonous mouths are more likely to become gourmets.

The little servant girl was no longer young, her cheeks were slightly red, and she turned her head sideways.

Su Yu raised his eyebrows, secretly laughing inwardly.

Before leaving the table, hand out gifts.

Feng Yu, Tang Fei, Tang Cui, Tang Xiaofei, and Li Duocai all received presents, but there were no gifts from the two "big sisters".Can't help but make people feel surprised.

Su Yu said in front of everyone: "The two elder sisters, Lin Wan and Wang Xun, have assisted Miss for many years. They have worked hard and made great achievements. The lady looks up to you, so it is naturally more important in my heart. So I have to prepare better gifts for you to express My heart. It's a pity that I went shopping with Xiao Huan in Jixiang Street today, but I didn't find any gifts worthy of the two sisters. I plan to go to Beishi again tomorrow. I must choose a good gift for the two sisters. Get it."

"Oh, my uncle speaks nonsense. My uncle is the master, and Wang Xun is a slave. It is good for the master to give the slave anything, so how dare you pick and choose?" Wang Xun smiled and pushed Lin Wan: "Wan'er is different from me. She is the daughter of the Lin family. When she comes to Miss, she also has the status of a master. My uncle is polite, just be polite to Wan'er alone, and you don't need to be a slave."

Su Yuhan smiled: "Although I, Su Jinfeng, have little talent and little knowledge, I don't have much ability. But I also have eccentricities. For example, when I look at people, I only look at people's hearts, not high or low. Whoever treats me well is expensive."

Then everyone sat together and chatted a little more.

When it was time to light the lamp, Wang Xun and Lin Wan got up and said that they were going to the Duke's mansion to visit the wounded An Jing.

At this moment, Su Yu stood up and said that he was going too.But he was persuaded by the second daughter.

They said that my uncle is injured, it is not appropriate to see the wind, it is better to rest at home, and when we see Jing Jing, tell her what my uncle is thinking.

Su Yu nodded.

-

The little maids were happy when they got the presents, and when they saw Su Yu again, they all greeted Su Yu with smiles.Su Yu sighed inwardly, the little girls were really easy to coax, they were just some cheap shoes, socks and shirts, so he bought them off.Especially the pretty maid Feng Yu, who couldn't wait to change into new clothes, she was really pretty.

Back in his own room, Su Yu chatted and asked, "Xiao Huan, how much do you know about Tian Jing, let me tell you about it."

"She, like Lin Wan, was hired here." Xiao Huan sighed and said, "Without a contract of prostitution, she is in the Tang Mansion, and she is tough in speaking and doing things. It's like us, who are beaten to death by the master. Wang Fa doesn't care. That quiet looks good and knows how to do things. Everyone says that she understands the Duke's thoughts best. The Duke also trusts her very much, and puts the keys of the Dongfu silver warehouse in her hand. After the Duke's hereditary ceremony, all All the servants changed their name to 'Guo Gongye', but she dared to call you son, as if she didn't treat herself as an outsider. Guo Gongye is also used to her, so she doesn't need to change her name."

"Oh."

Xiao Huan lowered her voice, and said mysteriously: "Uncle, I will tell you a secret, but you are not allowed to tell others."

"Oh?"
