Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Chapter 16 The old rules

"The girl is no longer the daughter of the Xie family. The princess also did not hold the girl responsible for the sake of going first. If the girl still has sense, it is time for her to leave." Su Zi smiled and followed Madam without bowing. Entering the mansion behind him.

"You guys!" Xie Shu'er trembled, faintly crying.

She couldn't believe that she just wanted to marry Pei Lang, why did she end up in this situation?

"Shu'er, grandma still cares about you when she sees your mother, but now she's just angry." Yang patted her back, with a kind expression on her face, and persuaded her in a soft voice, "Wait a few days, your mother will Once you calm down, you can naturally welcome us back home."

"It's just..." Yang looked hesitant, as if he was speechless.

"Grandma, you always have something to say, but it's okay to say it." Xie Shu'er held her hand tightly, with tears in her eyes, "Shu'er only has grandmother and Pei Lang now, and you are the person I love the most!"

Yang smiled, her two black eyes rolling around, and whispered, "Grandma, look at it, your sister is not a light-hearted person, you should find a chance to take care of her!"

Xie Wanzhou's appearance came to mind, and a trace of cruelty flashed across Xie Shu'er's face, and she lowered her voice, "Grandma, don't worry, she is just a humble concubine, I will never let her get arrogant again!"

"Shu'er...is there any way?" Yang approached Xie Shu'er and asked in a low voice.

Xie Shuer snorted coldly, her brows filled with anger, "For so many years, she has been defeated by me. Now she is just a villain. After trying to please her mother for a few days, she wants to fly up a branch and become a phoenix, trying to drag her away. Coming down is just a matter of moving my fingers!”

"Our Shu'er is still capable." Mrs. Yang complimented with a smile on her face.

Xie Shu'er pursed her lips, hugged Yang's arm like a coquettish girl, and urged in a sweet voice, "Grandma, let's buy two gold silk feather quilts. Pei Lang's quilt was so thin and hard that I couldn't sleep well yesterday. .”

"This..." A trace of embarrassment appeared on Yang's face, and the corner of her mouth twitched twice, "Shu'er, it's not that grandma doesn't want to accept you, but that our family..."

"Shu'er said it, how can I ask grandma to spend money?" Xie Shu'er smiled brightly, hugged Yang's arm and shook it.

After saying this, she took off the gold hairpin from her bun and handed it to Yang, giggling and saying, "Let's pawn this hairpin and exchange it for some money to put gold silk feather quilts on my grandparents!"

"Shu'er, isn't this... going to be too expensive?" Yang held the gold hairpin in her hands, unable to hide the joy in her eyes, but she pretended to be distressed, "After all, your mother hasn't calmed down yet..."

"Don't worry, grandma, I have plenty of these things! Besides, my eldest brother has several grain and oil stores under his name. If I don't have a back-up and act like a coquettish eldest brother, he will buy it for me." Xie Shuer pulled Yang forward. He said confidently, "With my eldest brother here, our Pei family won't have to spend money to buy grain and oil in the future!"

"Hey, that's great!" Ms. Yang narrowed her eyes with a smile and smacked her thigh excitedly, "We are filial sisters. Grandma is so old and has yet to cover her with a gold silk quilt!"

Grandfather and grandson left the Yongcheng Hou Mansion side by side, talking and laughing.

In the hall, Fang Lan sat in the upper seat with a smile on his face, curiously looking at the two children in front of him.

Xie Li noticed his aunt's gaze and nodded with a smile. Fang Lan liked her gentle look even more.

"Xiao Li, this is the first time my aunt has met you. She doesn't know what you like, so she can only bring you some pens, ink, paper and inkstones based on her feelings."

Fang Lan waved his hand, and the round-faced man behind him consciously took out the red box and handed it to Xie Li with a smile, "Second Young Master, the princess picked this for you personally. Please keep it."

With a warm smile on his face, Xie Li raised his hand to take it and thanked him softly, "Fortunately, my aunt cares about me and I can't visit often. My nephew feels guilty." "Don't worry." Fang Lan waved his hand with a smile. He glanced at his sister beside him and saw that she was also looking at him, and felt warm in his heart, "I didn't move around much before, but we are constantly separated by blood. We have always been a family."

"And Wan Zhou, my aunt is here today and brought you some ornaments and fabrics. Take a look at them. Do you still like them?"

After Fang Lan finished speaking, his small round face ran to Xie Wanzhou without stopping, unfolded the bag and placed it in front of her.

Xie Wanzhou looked at the items on the table and his eyebrows jumped. Even Fang Xu, who was sitting at the table, widened his eyes.

Silver hairpin and jade bracelets were scattered on the table. The fabric was covered with patterns woven with gold threads. The material was brocade, which looked extremely soft and luxurious.

"Aunt...could this be...something wrong?" Xie Wanzhou looked at the pile of fabrics with surprise on his face and his heartbeat accelerated a lot.

"What's wrong?" Fang Lan didn't think there was any problem, so he slowly said, "Your uncle has made great achievements, and the superior rewarded him a lot. There will be a banquet in the palace in a few days, and my aunt will ask for Dendrobium snails for you." Come on Dai."

After finishing speaking, Fang Lan glanced at Fang Xu angrily and said softly, "A daughter must be pampered. Your mother doesn't care about this. She has an aunt who thinks about you."

Fang Xu Youku couldn't tell. It wasn't that she didn't want to give these to her daughter, but that she really couldn't afford them!
The original person doted on his daughter and gave almost half of his net worth to buy Xie Shuer a hairpin and bracelet. In addition, the evil shopkeepers cooperated inside and outside. Such a large Hou Mansion was almost empty!
Fang Xu lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on Xie Li, who was bowing his head and saying nothing. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and asked, "Sister, do you know any good teachers in Beijing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xu glanced at Xie Li and froze.

"Teacher..." Fang Lan paused, thought for a moment, nodded and responded, "I know him, but Xiao Xu, what kind of teacher are you looking for?"

"Xie Li is fifteen this year and has reached his age. The current gentleman has mediocre abilities. I want to find a suitable gentleman for him so that I can plan for his future career." Fang Xu took a sip of mung bean soup and said softly.

Not far away, the boy's straight back froze again, and his eyes widened unconsciously, looking at the mother who had not taken much care of him since he was a child.

How can she...

How could you say such things in such a normal manner and so casually!
"Official career?" Fang Lan glanced at her suspiciously and asked in a low voice, "Don't your Yongcheng Hou Mansion always uphold the tradition of one official per clan?"

Although the two sisters have never spoken to each other over the years, she often sends people to check on the trivial matters in her sister's home to relieve her lovesickness.

In the Marquis Mansion, Xie Changqing has already become an official. What else does Xie Li have to do?

How could Xiao Xu not know the old rules of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion?

"One family, one official?" Fang Xu paused, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Sensing Fang Lan's hesitation, Fang Xu concealed his expression, frowned, and cursed in a low voice, "What bullshit rules! It's simply ridiculous!"

"Sister, you don't have to be taboo about this, just help me find a suitable husband." Fang Xu held her hand with a sincere look on his face, "The eldest son is useless. Xie Li is very smart and a good young man. I can't Watching him fall."

"Besides... the people who set the rules are dead, and the remaining people can't rest on their laurels. Let's just pretend that there are no such rules!"
