Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "It's okay, please go slowly."

He sat in the pavilion in the front yard to entertain guests, drinking tea quietly!
After Manager Li reported the report to Yuan Xueyue, she hurried over. When she saw it was Mr. Xiao Zhao, she immediately stepped forward and saluted,

"Master Xiaozhao is here with great dignity. It's a long way to welcome him."

Xiao Zhao said, "There is no distant welcome, it's all in the capital. Madam, what you said is serious."

Yuan Xueyue's eyes signaled Cuiping to get a new cup of tea.

She nodded slightly and sat down.

"I wonder what the important business is for you to come to visit me?" Yuan Xueyue said calmly.

Even if she was facing a close subordinate of the palace, Mr. Xiao Zhao, she could still remain calm in the face of danger.

Generally speaking, Mr. Xiao Zhao does not have a strong aura of majesty. From the last exchange at Zhuangzi, he was very kind.

Yuan Xueyue was sure that he was not here to make things difficult.

Xiao Zhao said, "Nothing. I stopped by to see your general. Isn't he here?"

Yuan Xueyue, "The general is out on business. If you are in a hurry, I can go find him."

Xiao Zhao waved his hand,
"No, I heard that Madam is very busy taking care of relatives in the house these days. What about Zhuangzi's account books?"

After saying these words, Yuan Xueyue was startled in her eyes.

Master Xiao Zhao knows?
Yuan Xueyue immediately stood up and knelt down and said, "Sir, please calm down. I was just outspoken for a moment, so I used you as an excuse!"

Xiao Zhao smiled.

This lady is so smart, she understands what she means as soon as she opens her mouth.

Xiao Zhao stood up and saluted and said,
"Madam, please don't be like this. I'm just here to ask questions on the prince's order. Madam, please sit down."

When Yuan Xueyue heard this, she got up.

Cuiping got the new tea, filtered it and steeped it, Yuan Xueyue explained, "The tea from my house may not be as tasty as the tea from Wangfu, sir. Don't be offended."

Xiao Zhao was surprised, "Is Wang Fu's drink good?"

How could he not know!
He has never drank the good tea on the prince’s table!
Except for that time, when the lady came, the prince took it out specially!
Xiao Zhao has always been confused in his heart.

Simply, pay more attention to the subordinates of the Guo family.

Maybe King Xian is really optimistic about the Guo family!

The mystery of this made Xiao Zhao very puzzled.

Yuan Xueyue was stunned, "Have you never drank, sir?"

Incredible!
She thought that Mr. Xiao Zhao was, after all, a close subordinate of the prince, and he was a young master with a title. How could he not drink tea from the prince?
Xiao Zhao seemed to understand.

It seems that Madam has misunderstood, he said,
"It's true that I haven't drunk it. Madam and the general are lucky. The prince treats you specially."

Yuan Xueyue, "..."

Unexpectedly, Guo Liangxian was really highly regarded by the King of Strings!

Seeing his wife's loneliness, Xiao Zhao felt a little embarrassed, "Since your general is not here, I won't bother you."

"Wait a minute." Yuan Xueyue said.

"Since your Excellency is here, Zhuangzi's account books should be shown to you to avoid attracting criticism. These are all relying on the favor of the palace."

Yuan Xueyue waved her hand and signaled Cuiping to get the account book.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhao shook his head and said,

"No need, our prince will not care about those harvests. They are all for your Guo family. Madam, you can use them as you like."

Yuan Xueyue said, "How can this be possible? Your Majesty treats our general well, and we should be rewarded by him."

After speaking, Yuan Xueyue stood up and wanted to go in person.

Xiao Zhao quickly stood up and said,

"It's really not necessary, madam, you're too polite!"

"Our prince really doesn't have that intention, and our prince doesn't like these harvests. Madam and the general can make good use of them."

Yuan Xueyue said, "No! What will happen if the prince no longer favors our general in the future? We must give the prince some benefits."

Xiao Zhao, "..."

Why did this lady say not to insist on giving?

Why would their prince want this little silver?It has only been completed for less than half a year, and the harvest is less than 500 taels. It is just a Zhuangzi that has just started.

"It's really not necessary. Madam, stay here while I go ahead. I'll come back to visit you another day."

After Xiao Zhao finished speaking, he bowed his head and left.

Manager Li stepped forward and had no choice but to lead Mr. Xiao Zhao out.

"..." Yuan Xueyue froze on the spot.

Really don’t want it?
Is the prince really determined to support the Guo family?
Cuiping was also in a dilemma, "Madam, do you still want to go get it?"

Yuan Xueyue shook her head, "No need, let's go see my buddies."

In the courtyard next to the pear garden.

The houses on three sides are tightly closed and do not disturb each other!
But I heard the maid shouting, "Madam, you are here!"

The doors of their respective houses were open.

"Mother!"

Brother Xing was the fastest, running and rushing towards Yuan Xueyue.

"Brother Xing is not going to school today?" Yuan Xueyue was confused and reached out to touch the scars on his face.

Brother Xing said,

"It's all Guo Ziji's fault! If it hadn't been for him, my son would have been able to go to school today. The maid said that with the injury like this, he could take a day off to avoid misunderstanding."

I have only been in school for less than half a year, and I have become so slack.

Yuan Xueyue felt unhappy, but now she was relieved and smiled and said,

"Okay, if Brother Xing doesn't want to go, then he won't go."

She won't force Brother Xing anymore. She helped and warned him once before, but Brother Xing couldn't remember it.

Is his mind pure, or is he just one-minded?

Hearing Brother Xing's complaint against him, Brother Ji stepped forward and saluted,
"Mother! Don't listen to Brother Xing's nonsense. He doesn't like me and keeps disrespecting me with his words!"

"Mother! Obviously I am his eldest brother. What does he mean by disrespecting his eldest brother like this?"

Yuan Xueyue, "..."

She didn't know what it meant, and she didn't want to know.

Before Yuan Xueyue could say anything, Brother Xing couldn't help but retorted,

"Eldest brother? You have only been here a few days and you dare to act like an elder! Who do you think is the elder? I am my mother's only son!"

Ji Geer pointed angrily, "You! Mother, listen to what he said, you are so rebellious!"

Yuan Xueyue was silent for a moment, looked at the two brothers and said,

"Stop making trouble. If you continue to make trouble, mother won't help anyone. I'll let you fight as long as you can. If that doesn't work, go to Grandma Zhongsi Hall and start a fight. See who will help you."

After saying this, Brother Xing's eyes were filled with shock.

"Mother! Please help me, he is an outsider!" Brother Xing grabbed the hem of Yuan Xueyue's clothes and said.

Yuan Xueyue said coldly,
"Mom is not helping anyone today. Brother Xing has gone to school, and he must have been taught by his teacher how to respect elders and children. Brother Ji has also been enlightened in his hometown in Lucheng, so he knows some truth."

"If you can't understand any of you, you can do whatever you like in this house. Mother will not pay attention to you."

Ji Geer's eyes widened, feeling incredible!

Although he didn't help himself, he didn't help Brother Xing either, which made him feel more comfortable.

Brother Xing was surprised, "Mother!"

Yuan Xueyue said, "You are all my sons now, and the palms and backs of your hands are all flesh. If you favor anyone, you will all hate your mother!"

"It's better... Cuiping."

Cuiping stepped forward and said, "My servant is here."

Yuan Xueyue, "Get the washboard for the two brothers."

"!!!"
