Fair Lady

Although the second master of the Xu family is incompetent, he is still honest and timid, and he will not do anything too outrageous. He also has an elder brother who is quite powerful in Beijing, so although his official career is not prosperous, he is safe.In addition, Mrs. Xu appointed the big butler and several old stewards to take care of the ancestral property shared by the second house. The second house of Xu's family is still considered a wealthy family in Yulin.

Mother Liu smiled and said, "Master Xu's only advantage is that he is filial to his mother and respects his elder brother. It is because he abides by the words of Mrs. Xu and Mr. Xu that the second wife of Xu's mansion has his present day."

After Xu Bing'er fell into the water and got engaged, Second Mrs. Xu was completely deprived of her housekeeping rights, and she "recovered" in her own yard all year round.Although the second house of Xu's mansion is now occupied by Ping's wife and aunt who takes care of the house, that aunt (Xu Xiu'er's biological mother) was originally a servant girl next to Mrs. Xu, and she is an orphan without a natal family, but she manages Xu's mansion in an orderly manner.

Everyone in Yulin County and the surrounding areas knows about Mrs. Xu's three mothers and their sons' marriage. However, the Xu family did not abandon them. There's no need to argue, talk about favoring concubines and destroying wives.

In the past few years, Ping's wife and the head aunt have lived in peace, and no one is looking for trouble every day (in the past, Mrs. Xu's natal family always asked Xu's house to help with this and that), and the figures in the public accounts in the mansion are getting better and better. (The mother-in-law does not need to subsidize her natal family, and she also knows that her mother and daughter have pissed off the second master Xu and Mrs. Xu, and there is no good result.) The third young master who was raised as his son-in-law is struggling again in the school. A month ago, Master Xu who has been through for so many years He was also promoted by one rank (his boss was promoted. He was nominated by his boss to take his place)...

Master Xu Er really felt that everything was going well, and he became more and more convinced that Mrs. Xu Er, mother and son were "evil stars".Look, one "study tour" is in the south, one is already married, and the other is under house arrest in the yard, so everything goes well for him, right?He has already secretly decided that when the eldest son comes back, he will marry his relatives and share the single life.

Things have developed to this point, Mrs. Xu is also letting Master Xu Er.The main reason is that Mrs. Xu's eldest son is not up to the mark, and he is not as good as the third young master. It is more reliable to hand over the second room to the third young master in the future.

Shuyao and his party got out of the carriage, and as usual, Madam Xu's mother was waiting to greet her at the door: "I have met Mrs. Shizi, I have met Miss Shuyao. The old lady is waiting for you."

Several people arrived outside the reception hall.I saw the smiling Mrs. Xu looking out.

After the ceremony, the host and guest warmly greeted each other. It was the first time Mrs. Xu saw Nangong Miao, and she repeatedly praised: "Mrs. Shizi is really as beautiful as the rumors say, and Xiao Yaoer is now a shameful big girl." Girl, where should you go, sister-in-law? You are simply a pair of peerless sisters."

Everyone in the capital said that Ding Meier, who was drafted into the palace, was astonishingly beautiful, and Mrs. Xu also met Ding Meier once.I really feel that it is not as good as Nangong Miao, the wife of Yongping Hou Shizi in front of me, and Nangong Miao's dignified atmosphere is missing.

And it can be said that Mrs. Xu grew up with Shuyao, her facial features and figure may be a bit inferior to that of Ding Meier, but the clean spirit that comes out from the inside out is amazing.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law are both plainly dressed, but they are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off.

Nan Gongmiao smiled decently and yet intimately: "The old lady praised me a lot. The adoptive father and Mr. Xu are family friends, and the old lady is also very helpful to the three Shujie brothers and sisters. They are elders we respect. Please don't be too polite .Call me Miaoer."

"Okay, okay, Miao'er, sit down quickly, just try my new high-grade Biluochun, and the freshly baked milk and water chestnut cake. By the way, Yaoer, you still have a letter from sister Nian'er Well." Mrs. Xu really liked Nangong Miao very much, and secretly sighed that she and Shujie were a pair of talented men and women, so the Tang family was really unlucky.

Shuyao happily accepted the letter handed over by the maid: "Sister Nian'er, how are you?" Nian'er married Chen Wenhao in May last year, and Shujie sent someone a generous gift for Shuyao.

Mrs. Xu smiled gratifiedly: "It's good, that child is kind-hearted, and Wen Hao loves her very much. Hehe, Nian'er is three months pregnant now. When you return to Beijing, she should be about the same Produced."

"Great, I'm going to prepare a gift for the little baby, and he's going to call me Auntie." Shuyao is really happy for Nian'er, hoping she can get a boy in one fell swoop.Although Shuyao thinks it's okay to have a boy or a girl in the first birth, and it's not impossible to have another child, but Mrs. Chen is not an easy mother-in-law to get along with, and she only has one son, Chen Wenhao, so she naturally looks forward to having a son and grandson.

The host and the guest were talking happily, and the servant girl came in to report: "Madam, the fourth aunt is here, and I want to greet you."

Mrs. Xu frowned. When she came back the day before yesterday, Xu Binger had already been here, so what are you doing today?How can a married girl run to her mother's house every day?Moreover, doesn't she know that she is receiving guests?The servant girl will definitely tell her.

Just as he was about to speak, Mrs. Xu and Xu Bing'er had already stepped into the door and went straight to greet the old lady.

Then he turned to Nangong Miao and Shuyao very bluntly: "Oh, so grandma has guests here?"

Looking at Nangong Miao's beautiful and bright face and elegant demeanor, the involuntarily stunning mother and daughter were stunned on the spot. Xu Binger's eyes were full of deep jealousy and reluctance to believe that she specially dressed up here today to Nangong Miao went down.So what about the eldest daughter of the richest man in the Zhou Dynasty? At most, she is a vulgar fan made of gold and silver. How can she compare with a noble and beautiful official lady like her?Fortunately, Xia Shujie is still the number one scholar in both civil and military affairs, but he is also blinded by money.

How can Xu Binger be reconciled?She was forced to marry Yu Erlang, who was 12 years older than him. Although Yu Erlang was honest and loved her very much, that was not the life Xu Binger wanted. Such a common man was not worthy of being her husband!Xu Binger felt like a flower stuck in cow dung.

If she had succeeded in getting engaged to Shujie back then, she would be Mrs. Hou Shizi of Yongping now, and soon Mrs. Hou. What would it be like?Now, everything that should belong to her is taken away by a vulgar woman full of money.Maybe she's still an ugly woman, otherwise why do you hear that she always wears a veiled hat when she goes out?Yulin is not as strict as the capital city, and it is a married woman, so why is it necessary to be as cautious as a boudoir girl?A person with some good looks is eager to show off in front of others.

But... but... who is this extraordinary woman?How could it be so...beautiful!

No matter how unwilling, Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter have to admit that they are indeed too beautiful!Xu Binger's appearance and demeanor of the wife of the eldest son are not comparable to Xu Binger's.In fact, even Xia Shuyao, who was sitting next to Nangong Miao, has grown like a lotus in clear water, far better than Xu Binger.

In fact, Xu Binger is also considered a beauty, and her temperament is not bad, but in front of Nangong Miao and Shuyao, she is sadly reduced to a green leaf that sets off the flowers.Fortunately, it didn't fall into the weeds next to the flowers.

At this time, Mrs. Xu, the mother and daughter, were very out of control. Their distorted and distorted faces went from arrogance at first to surprise, disbelief, disappointment, unwillingness... just staring straight at Nangong Miao.

Mrs. Xu was very angry, but she was not easy to get angry, so she tried to suppress her anger and said: "Since you are here, let's salute and say hello to Mrs. Yongping Hou Shizi."

After regaining their senses, the second Mrs. Xu, the mother and daughter, realized that even if she had not been promoted to Mrs. Hou, Nan Gongmiao, the wife of the eldest son, was now a third-rank gentleman. Nangong Miao saluted.But...they ran in eagerly, could it be to salute Nangong Miao?

Mrs. Xu Er's mother and daughter thought that Nangong Miao would refuse, but Nangong Miao was still sitting there drinking tea quietly, with no intention of speaking at all.Before coming here, Ms. Liu told her about the two mother and daughter plotting against Shujie three years ago. How could she treat them as lifelong friends and Mrs. Xu Er as her elders?Naturally follow the rules.

Xu Binger's back teeth were painful from biting, and she clearly felt that two nails were broken in the palm of her hand, but she could only follow Mrs. Xu to salute Nangong Miao.

Nangong Miao just raised her hand slightly: "You're being polite." Her demeanor was extremely dazzling in the eyes of Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter.

"Okay," Mrs. Xu said, "Go back to Bilan Courtyard (Mrs. It's a girl from the Xu family, our Xu family is a well-behaved family."

"Yes," Xu Binger replied reluctantly, and turned to Shuyao, "Sister Yaoer, I will visit you in the Hou's Mansion next time, and let's catch up." Xu Binger has been to the Hou's Mansion twice, but was blocked outside. It's not that Shuyao is going out, or he is copying the scriptures of the past for his parents, so it's inconvenient to disturb.

Shuyao smiled politely and alienated: "I'm sorry, our house is still in the filial piety period, so it's not convenient to receive guests." Shuyao still has an attitude of not interacting with Xu Binger, a scheming and unscrupulous person like him.

Xu Bing'er's carefully painted pretty face suddenly turned into a pig's liver color. She did not expect that even in front of Mrs. Xu, Shuyao would not give herself any face at all.After all, after studying together for such a long time, I just want to take advantage of her blessing and the power of the Yongping Hou Mansion, why is she so mean?At this time, Xu Bing'er completely forgot whether she ever thought "After all, I have studied together for so long" when I was plotting against Shuyao's three brothers and sisters again and again.

Mrs. Xu did not expect Shuyao to reject Xu Binger so simply, but she could only sigh secretly when she thought of what Xu Binger's mother and daughter had done.

Xu Bing'er and Xu Binger rushed over suddenly today, one is to make her feel ashamed of Nangong Miao, and the other is to use the affection of former classmates to build a relationship with Shuyao.Unexpectedly... these two sisters-in-law...
