Fair Lady

Chapter 78

The young owner of "Lanyuexuan"?Although Shuyao didn't know the true identity of Lanyuexuan's owner, she still knew that it was a person with a big background.Surname Zhong?Shuyao sorted out the memories of her previous life in her mind. When she lived in the Marquis of Weiyuan, he had heard of many big families.

Suddenly, the words "Zhongguo Gongfu" appeared, right?Will it belong to the Zhongguo government?The Duke of Zhongguo's mansion is the natal family of the Empress Empress, whose surname is Zhong.It's just that Shuyao knows very little about the empress and Duke Zhong's mansion.

Shuwen went on to say: "Zhong Jiayi only came to Yulin from the capital in October last year, and will return to the capital in November and December this year. He said that if I go to the capital in the future, I will live in their house."

Shu Jie smiled and said: "It's good to keep friendly with your classmates. That Young Master Zhong's family must be not simple. Calling brothers is just for fun in your children's family." Seeing the momentum and words of shopkeeper Li, the backstage of "Lanyuexuan" Extremely hard, the owner must be very difficult.The three brothers and sisters are just orphans in the market. Blindly clinging to such a family may bring disaster.

Shuwen gave an "um" and nodded sensiblely.Their mother, Zhen Zirou, used to say that small households have their joys, big households have their troubles, and large households have many fights and bad things. It's not something common people like them can understand, so it's better to keep a distance.

Shuwen didn't understand very well, but he also knew that his mother had been bullied for many years in that Murong Shangshu's mansion, and almost lost her life.

The three brothers and sisters walked while chatting and laughing, and soon arrived at Xitang Street, where they met Dongsheng within a few steps.

Xiao Dongsheng looked nervous: "Brother Jie. Ah Wen, your two uncles are here again, and there is an old lady with a fierce face."

The three of them took a glance and saw a carriage parked at the gate of their yard.

Walking into the courtyard, an old lady wearing a brown satin jacket sat on a chair against the courtyard wall, a big maid stood on one side, Xia Linyu sat on a chair on the other side, and Xia Linang was in the utility room Walking up and down over there, looking left and right.But the little boy lying under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree was staring at him covetously, and the four of them were cautious and did not dare to make any big moves.

Shujie pulled his younger siblings forward and gave a junior salute: "Fourth old lady." Grandfather Xia Zhihan was the fourth in the clan.

The old lady Xia was still waiting for the three of Shujie to salute with her face upright.Unexpectedly, what was waiting was just the most common junior salute and a faint "fourth old lady." Shujie had followed Xia Linxuan into the Xia Mansion before and met old Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia, and they both called him "grandfather and grandmother".

But now, both Shujie's tone and the expressions of the three brothers and sisters were full of alienation.

The old lady Xia couldn't hold back her face and was about to say something.What Shujie said next made her choke and cough: "Fourth old lady, after all, you are also an elder in the clan, so it's better to let someone know before you come here next time. It's so hard to sit in the yard and wait like this."

Xia Linyu said reproachfully: "Brother Jie, I heard that you sent Shuyao to study in Xu's mansion. You are really ignorant. How can you bother Mrs. Xu with such a trivial matter? Let Shuyao go to the mansion to study with Qing'er and the others that is."

Shu Jie had a funny face on his face: "Third Uncle, when did your mansion hire a gentleman? But Yao'er and Miss Xu are on good terms. Let her go to Xu's mansion, after all, it was Uncle Jin and Mrs. Xu who negotiated years ago. Uncle Jin also prepared a gift for him."

"..." Xia Linyu was at a loss for words, how could the Xia Mansion have any spare money for the girls to hire a gentleman in these few years?In the early years, I hired one, but I quit after teaching for a year.Xia Shuqing is smart and taught by Lu's mother, she also knows a little about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.As for Xia Shulin.It doesn't matter if a concubine girl learns or not, as long as she gets married in a few years, she will be fine.

Zhou asked him to ask Shuyao to study in Xiafu.In fact, I just want Shuqing to learn from Mother Liu instead, so that she can claim that Shuqing has been taught by the nuns of the palace, and that Shuyao and the others are very close to her uncle's family.

Mrs. Zhou thought she was cleverly picking at her abacus beads, but she didn't remember that the three Shujies had never been successfully calculated by them, and Liu's mother was not a vegetarian.

The old lady Xia frowned, and kept saying that Uncle Jin, is he going to use Jin Xida to suppress them?

However, after all, Mrs. Xia has been Mrs. Yongping Hou Shizi for ten years, and Mrs. Hou for more than two years. question.

The old lady Xia silently stared at the three of Shujie with her dim eyes, as if she wanted to use her "majesty" to force them to kneel at the feet of her aunt.Why would a little bitch with maid's blood stand in front of her majestically?They should have been her and her children's servants!Now he is so proud and arrogant!Shujie's "fourth old lady" sounded extremely ironic and provocative in her ears.The hateful thing is that the rice has become porridge, and the genealogy has been changed. They are indeed only relatives now, and if they make trouble, they will only lose face to Xiafu.

What's more, there is a white tiger staring at it in front of it, and there is a palace nurse Mama Liu sitting on the side "concentrating" on embroidery. She doesn't even dare to raise her voice, so she can only show power with her eyes.

The three of Shujie didn't seem to notice Mrs. Xia's eyes. Shuyao was busy greeting Huohuo who rushed out of the house. After Shuwen saluted Mrs. Xia, she turned around and asked Da Niu to prepare water for him to take a bath. I was covered in ashes from the fight, and my body was sticky with sweat, which made me really uncomfortable.Shu Jie looked at her calmly: "The fourth old lady, the third uncle, and the sixth uncle came here for this purpose, right?"

"Ahem," Xia Linang couldn't wait, "Your grandmother is not in good health recently,..."

"Our grandmother? Who is it?" Shuyao looked curious, "Oh, Uncle Six, you mean Old Lady Four?"

"Ahem...uh...the fourth old lady is not in good health recently. We asked an eminent monk to do the math. He said that we were going to find a small courtyard near the downtown area for recuperation. He said that it was close to the popularity of the earth. The eminent monk also gave us instructions. This small courtyard of yours is the most suitable one. Brother Jie, the fourth old lady is your father's aunt after all, and you should always show your filial piety for your father."

"You want to rob our yard again?" Shuwen called out sensitively, Xiaoguai immediately rushed over to block Shuwen.

The old lady Xia and the others were pale and trembling with fright, but they didn't dare to yell out. They had all heard that sharp scolding would irritate the white tiger.

"No, no." Xia Linyu glared at Xia Linang, are these little bastards so easy to coax? "We want to pay money to buy, buy..."

Before Shujie could speak, Shuwen curled his lips first: "No, I'll sell the yard to you. Where do we live?"

Shu Jie also replied in a deep voice: "It's been less than a year since our parents passed away, and we sold the yard. How can there be any filial piety?"

Mother Liu, who had been silent for a long time, murmured unintentionally: "On the anniversary of Miss Xia's death, the Empress Dowager might send someone over to look at it. If she knows that Mrs. Xia's yard has been taken over, uh ..."

Brother Xia Linyu's eyes widened, why didn't they think of this?I heard that the emperor is preaching that "great filial piety and great love are inseparable from morality" and "knowing kindness, gratitude, and repaying kindness".The reason is that the youngest son of the current empress dowager, the king of Northern Qi, who was fiefdom in the northeast, pulled up a force and gathered some scholars and Confucian scholars from various places to criticize Da Zhou for being ruthless, filial, and Disrespectful and disrespectful.

The medicated diet presented by Donnie Yen suppressed the empress dowager's thirst. Last year, the empress dowager specially sent her nuns to worship.The anniversary of death is a big event, and the empress dowager and the advisers around the emperor should not let go of the opportunity to take advantage of this matter. The empress dowager is very likely to send people to pay homage again, and maybe there will be further favors for the three of Shujie.At this time, if they force the three of Shujie to "sell" the yard and move away, is it not suicide?

The old lady Xia was a little slow, but she finally thought of this, and looked at Shujie and the three of them again with her cloudy eyes: the way of good luck should belong to the first and third families of the concubines, but why did they all fall to the humble ones of the concubines? Second room?And they still can't touch the light.

With her head down, Shuyao rolled her eyes. She thought of the reason why Brother Xia Linyu suddenly wanted to buy this yard and moved out Mrs. Xia because of the box of silver.If the yard is really sold to them, they will dig the ground and start a major renovation of the yard immediately.

"Brother," Shuyao pulled Shujie's sleeve and raised her head, "We have too many people now, and this yard is almost not enough to live in. We have been mourning for our parents for three years, can we move to a bigger yard? "

Shujie didn't know why Shuyao suddenly wanted a big yard, and he still brought it up at this moment.But after thinking about it, the current yard is indeed crowded, and it will be difficult for Shuwen to live in the same room with him when he grows up in two years. In the future, he really has to consider buying a big yard, anyway, they have enough money.

Thinking of this, Shujie patted Shuyao's head: "When we save more money in the past two years, and after the three-year filial piety period, eldest brother will find a way to buy a bigger yard for us Yaoer to live in."

"Yes, yes, yes," Xia Linyu answered quickly, "After the filial piety period, you can sell this yard to us, and I can give you 50 taels of silver more than the market price.

"Let's talk about it later," Shujie replied lightly.

Brother Xia Linyu also knew that this matter could not be forced, Shujie and the others had good reasons, unless life was really difficult, no one wanted to sell the house not long after their parents passed away.

Moreover, if they were pushed too hard, if they suspected something, it would be bad if they dug through the utility room to find the treasure by themselves.

Since the matter failed, Xia Linyu and the others left after rambling a few words.Before going out, Mrs. Xia also said earnestly: "Break the bones and connect the tendons, Brother Jie, you must not forget your roots in life."

Shujie replied respectfully: "No, my parents used to say that people are doing it, but the sky is watching. People can see what we have done. The clan leaders, clan elders, and all clan members also I’m all watching.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
