The fifth girl finally saw it clearly. She pulled out Yanling's reverse bone and weighed it. It was actually heavier than hers.She really likes banquet bells.When she saw Wu Li again, she was already very calm.There is no resentment or complaint, but there is not much closeness either.

She sat aside gently and listened to her parents' talk.Mrs. Wu had always liked her, so she took her hand and said, "I wanted you to come to my house from the bottom of my heart. I really... think of you at home, and I feel much more at ease."

Although the Wu family is an aristocratic family and is well-known in the city of Kyoto, it lacks some grace and power compared to Ning Guo Gongfu, so she never takes care of it in the Ning family.What's more, she was still very depressed.

Although it was the old lady's doting on her younger son that caused her to be at odds with her younger siblings, and they were constantly fighting each other all day long, the concubines and concubines in the family were not at ease, and none of them were fuel-efficient lamps.

Mrs. Wu gave birth to only one son.

She felt that everyone in her family did not share her thoughts.She really liked the fifth girl. When she saw her, she couldn't help but take off the bracelet in her hand and give it to her, "You were unwilling to come to my house when Ah Li was away for the past three years. Now that he is back, you have to come often." .”

"Now that you're here, we, mother and daughter, have company."

The fifth girl held her hands and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will stay with you more."

Everyone in the family is harmonious.Wu Li returned to Wu's house and said: "Mother, I went to see Xixi first, and she was very cold to me. I thought she blamed me for not coming back for so many years. But today I saw her and you were so happy, dear." They are just like mother and daughter, so I feel relieved.”

Mrs. Wu spat at him, "My daughter's family is different from your men's. She is a real girl from an aristocratic family. She never leaves the house without leaving the door. Naturally, she only thinks about you. But you have been running away for three years, let alone She is here, even if I met you the day before yesterday, you were still unfamiliar."

"Don't blame her for complaining about you. She also loves you, so she complains. Although it is normal for men to go out to make a living, a woman has been thinking about it in the house for three years. Needless to say, it is uncomfortable for everyone. You Ah, be nice to her, and now that you are back, please spend more time with her."

Wu Li felt relieved after hearing Mrs. Wu's words, and said happily: "Thank you, mother, for your advice. As long as Xixi doesn't change her mind, it will be fine."

Mrs. Wu: "I was watching for you in Kyoto, but she has never even seen a foreigner."

And she is extremely promising. Which lady wouldn't envy her for having such a good daughter-in-law?

She whispered: "Your fifth brother is also talking about getting married, and your aunt is holding her breath while searching. She just wants to find someone better than Xixi. Ha, she thinks beautifully!"

Wu Li laughed and said, "Mom, we are all members of the same family, so there is no need to worry about it like this."

Mrs. Wu felt that her son was not as considerate as Xixi, and muttered: "What do you know! Last time at the Zhao family's flower viewing party, I was talking to Xixi, and I saw her twisting her waist and coming over, saying to Xixi: "Fifth girl, You never come, and your mother-in-law’s jade hairpin is nowhere to be given.”

The jade hairpin was Mrs. Wu's dowry, but the old lady took a fancy to it and wanted it.Mrs. Wu was unwilling to give it, so she lied and said that she had already agreed with the fifth girl that the hairpin was for her.

The old lady was very unhappy, but she also took the matter into consideration because of her reputation.

When Mrs. Wu mentioned this, her teeth itched with hatred, "The Wu family is also a scholarly family, why does she look so petty?"

Wu Li was a grandson, so it was hard for him to say anything about his grandmother's fault, so he could only comfort him and ask, "What should Xixi say?"

Mrs. Wu laughed happily, "Xixi said: My aunt's natal family is the well-known Wu family in Yuezhou. The things she brought from her natal family, regardless of their value, just the age and provenance, are treasures worth collecting. I My mother often said she wanted me to be smarter, sweeter, and more lovable, so that I could get more benefits from my aunt."

"Although I have a stupid mouth, my aunt loves me with pity and love, and I have gained a lot secretly. I also have a few jade hairpins, but I don't know which one my aunt is talking about?"

Mrs. Wu was very proud when she said this, "I just like Xixi's mouth!"

Wu Li was also happy to hear this and liked Xixi even more, "My son will also be kind to her."

Mrs. Wu: "It's not over yet. Your aunt is so frustrated that she won't let her go. She said with a smile: Since there are so many jade hairpins, it's not a bad idea to give one to your mother." "Again. Talking about my mother's nurturing love was very unpleasant to hear. Xixi wanted to vent her anger on me, but your aunt is a shameless person from a poor family, and it was the Zhao family's banquet. What should I do if there was a quarrel? I stopped her. she."

"In the end, this girl Xixi knew that I was unhappy, so she asked her father to have the boy hand over a box of emerald hairpins after the court, and said: Brother Yu, I heard that the old lady of your house likes emerald hairpins very much, but your wife's All the hairpins were given to Xixi. When my wife found out, she felt very uneasy, so she asked me to send these hairpins, hoping that the old lady would pay attention... Next time at the banquet, don't talk about this in public, I don't know. Yeah, I thought our two families were living together."

Wu Li couldn't help laughing, "Didn't my father look bad at that time?"

Mrs. Wu nodded, "Ask me what's going on when you get home. I said: My mother took a fancy to my dowry hairpin, so I told it to Xixi. This matter was already over, but my brother and sister insisted on attending the wedding banquet." Speaking of it, let Xixi feel shameless. I guess Mrs. Ning Guogong also knew about it. She was afraid that our family would think she was greedy for my things, so she asked Ning Guogong to send the hairpin. "

"Your father heard this and went to tell Uncle Bi personally about it. Well, they didn't cause any trouble."

Wu Li sighed after hearing this: "I didn't expect that my grandmother and aunt would be so arrogant when I wasn't in Kyoto."

Mrs. Wu shed tears, "My son, you don't know that if you are not here, they will bully me and I will have no one to support me."

"Your father has concubines on his left and a concubine on his left and a concubine on his right. I am very worried."

When Wu Li heard about the concubine's affairs, he said, "Mother, I also have something I want you to do for me."

Mrs. Wu wiped her tears and said, "Say."

Wu Li: "Myolie has been serving me since she was a child. I used her as my maid two years ago, but when I returned to Kyoto, we were about to get married again. For the sake of Xixi, I couldn't keep this girl. Find her a girl." I'm going to marry into a good family, but I won't have an aunt until we get married."

Mrs. Wu was a little reluctant, "I personally chose Myolie for you. What a good girl. She has a gentle temper, no bad intentions, and average ambition. She is a good candidate to be your aunt. She is also literate and numerate, and will be able to do it in the future." Help Xixi."

Wu Li frowned, "But from what I see in Xixi's family, none of the three brothers has an aunt. I guess even if they have a common maid, they are not promoted to aunts."

"Xixi helps you and is kind to me. I can't let her suffer. I have already thought about it. She won't have an aunt until she gives birth to a child."

Mrs. Wu thought for a while and said, "But Xing'er's duty is that she doesn't care about her status. A girl can be a girl. She doesn't need to be an aunt. It's her blessing to be a common-room girl."

"You should keep her first, and there is no need to take in other girls who are married to each other. After you get married, you can ask Xixi."

Wu Li: "Then listen to mother."

Mrs. Wu was overjoyed again: "I'm really happy for Xixi and I'm waiting for her to be my daughter-in-law."

Wu Li returned to the room, and Xing'er came to wait on her. Wu Li said, "I originally wanted my mother to send you off to get married, but my mother said I would keep you for the time being and let Miss Ning decide after she gets married... What do you think?"

Xing'er knelt down and said, "I am a domestic slave. It is a blessing to be able to serve my master. I dare not think about anything else. But if the master is willing... I also want to redeem myself and return to my hometown."

The implication is that she does not want to marry again, nor does she want to stay in the house, and wants to return home.

Wu Li was obedient and nodded: "Then you wait a little longer until the mistress is born next year."

Xing'er breathed a sigh of relief and showed a cute smile: "Yes."
