Fair Lady

Chapter 45

However, even if they have left the Xia Mansion now, Xia Ruoxue is still their elders, after all, they are still of the same blood as their father Xia Linxuan.When people come from the capital to pay homage to their parents, there is no reason to receive them respectfully. This is the basic etiquette.

As soon as the three of them entered the hall, they saw a gorgeous lady bowing to the spiritual tablets of Xia Linxuan and Zhen Zirou, and Shuqing followed her.Two women dressed as big maids and two women dressed in blue silk clothes stood aside to wait.

That lady should be Xia Ruoxue.

Xia Ruoxue's direct brothers and sisters are all like Mrs. Xia, thin, with slightly high cheekbones, and seem to be shrewd and mean.But Xia Ruoxue was more like an aunt, that is, Old Master Xia's direct sister, with a round and amiable face.

Xia Ruoxue's clothes today also make people know that she is here to pay homage to her deceased relatives: she is wearing a moon-white soft smoke skirt, and only some small blue floral flowers are sprinkled on the neckline, cuffs and hem.There are two lace pearl hairpins and a hollow orchid bud on the simple pony bun, followed by a set of white pearl earrings and a necklace.

Shuyao sneered inwardly, this aunt is much smarter than her uncle and third uncle!

Xia Ruoxue inserted the incense into the incense burner, she rushed over to embrace Shuyao and Shuwen with tears in her eyes: "Yao girl? Brother Wen?"

Shuyao's eyes were sharp and she moved quickly, quickly pulling Shuwen to "hide" behind Shujie.

A stern look flashed across Xia Ruoxue's eyes, she withdrew her hand in embarrassment, stood up and looked at Shujie with grief and concern in her eyes: "Are you Brother Jie? I am your eldest aunt, poor child, my aunt is here to see you .”

Shujie bowed: "Thank you! You came all the way from the capital, you have a heart!"

Ever since he accidentally discovered that practicing breath and internal strength in a mahogany box is particularly efficient and can get twice the result with half the effort, Shujie has to ask Shuyao to put him into the mahogany box to practice for half an hour every night. Take it in to sleep, and Xiaoguai and Huohuo often go in together.

Anyway, as long as Shujie's room is closed, no matter whether it is Liu's mother, Aunt Mei, or the big girl Erniu Xiutao, they will not knock on the door to disturb them, because they are told that martial arts practitioners are interrupted when they are practicing internal strength. If you are not careful, you will go crazy.

I don't know if it's because of the infiltration of aura in the mahogany box, plus the daily food and drink are things that have strengthened the spirit. Shujie's five senses are super sensitive. very dissatisfied.In Shujie's heart, his younger siblings are more important than his own life. How can he tolerate anyone's threats and hostility towards them?

Xia Ruoxue saw that she was so provocative, but the three of Shujie were extremely polite and alienated. They didn't even call "Auntie" until now, so they couldn't help being a little embarrassing and annoyed, but they didn't show it at all: "Brother Jie Son, I am your aunt, so I love you so much, and I am willing to do anything for you. God is sorry, my second elder brother and second sister-in-law just left your three children behind. I... I... think about it It’s just uncomfortable, alas, I don’t know how many tears I’ve shed these days.”

Shujie still bowed respectfully and politely: "I've made you suffer."

Xia Ruoxue suppressed her impatience: "You child, why are you so polite? Come on, girl Yao, brother Wen, my aunt brought you a lot of things, all of which are the most fashionable things in the capital."

Shuyao and Shuwen shook their heads, still hiding behind Shujie.In fact, Shuyao is not afraid of Xia Ruoxue, but does not want to talk to her.

Shuwen has always been on the same page with her twin sister, seeing Shuyao like this, naturally she doesn't want to talk to Xia Ruoxue anymore.

Seeing that the three of Shuyao had such an attitude towards the aunt with the highest status in the family, Shuqing couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. It seemed that her parents and third uncle were frightened, and they had completely given up on the people in Xiafu. If she is alienated, does she still have hope to make friends with them?

Xia Ruoxue didn't expect these three children to be so difficult to deal with: "You and aunt are so close, aunt is very sad, I came all the way to see you."

Shuwen's cute face: "Auntie, we don't know you, we have never seen you, and we have never heard of you. Our aunt is in Lucheng, and she often asks people to bring things to us. We have seen you several times. , you don't look alike."

Shuyao also looked at her "innocently": "Do you know my mother? Have you seen my mother?"

Xia Ruoxue was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to answer Shuwen and Shuyao's words.

Shuqing quickly interjected: "The one in Lucheng is the second aunt, and this is the eldest aunt, the second wife of Duke Anguo's mansion, sister Yao'er, we are all one family."

Shuyao blinked her eyes: "Sister Qing'er, you have said this several times. My elder brother said that if we enter the family tree tomorrow, we will be relatives, and you will be my sister."

Xia Ruoxue made a serious face: "Girl Yao, brother Jie, your father is the son of our Xia family, and the roots are broken. How can a close relative of blood be broken by saying it? You can't say such things in the future. Brother Jie, listen to auntie , go to the patriarch tomorrow and tell the patriarch that you must truly recognize your ancestors and return to your grandfather’s branch. If you don’t want to go back to Xia’s mansion, aunt will take you to the capital this time, and you will follow aunt in the future. Good filial piety comes first, you are a scholar, you should understand this truth, how can you not recognize your own grandfather and uncle?"

The corner of Shujie's mouth twitched, and it was true that his younger sister was right. The eldest aunt really came here for tomorrow's entry into the genealogy.

Seeing that the expression on Shujie's face relaxed, Xia Ruoxue finally had a sense of accomplishment, and continued: "You are a sensible child, you should have thought about it, how can a family do without decent elders? Uncles and aunts are your closest relatives in this world We are the only ones you can rely on. Auntie came from the capital this time to pay homage to your parents and take you to take care of her."
