Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 652 Offending
Li Xin was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows, only thinking that he was a guest.

The head wife frowned slightly, seemed to sigh lightly, and said just now: "Aunt Luo, please come in."

The servant girl hurriedly went to greet him, and the other three wives at the square table looked at each other for a moment, and one of them asked in a low voice, "Did Mrs. Xun invite her here?"

Mrs. Xun shook her head, then paused and said, "Forget it, then Mr. Xue is quite respectable in our area. There is only such an aunt in the backyard of his mansion... I can't be slow to treat people when they come to me."

The other lady answered with a frown and said: "The Xue family is also a big family, why are they so ignorant of the rules, the main room is gone and they haven't talked about the reunion until now... There is no reason for the concubine to come out when the female relatives are in contact with each other?"

The wife who had spoken earlier said in a low voice: "This remark has wronged Mr. Xue. Mr. Xue never praised her to let her come out to deal with the entertainment between female relatives. She thought highly of herself and greeted her... ...it seemed like she was the only one."

As the host, Mrs. Xun didn't have any reason to let the guests come to the door. She smiled and accused Li Xin and others before going to the front hall to receive them.

Only Li Xin and the other three wives were left here, and they had been in contact with each other before, and the three wives were also kind, and they accepted Li Xin's love when she came over and offered to let them play horses. All gossip with her.

The center of the topic was naturally Aunt Xue who came to kill her suddenly.

"...I heard that it was the sister of Mrs. Xue's dead wife who got involved with Mrs. Xue when Mrs. Xue was seriously ill." A lady said in a low voice: "After Mrs. Xue died, she was raised to be the main wife. There are no two candidates, but at that time Master Xue went south and left her in the north... Now he is just a concubine."

"That's right, I haven't served tea to the mistress yet, so calling her a concubine is a bit unfair." Another wife also said.

According to the rules in the backyard of the house, if the male master wants to promote his concubine, the concubine's room must serve tea to the wife and wife as a gift, and this is officially recognized by the husband's family.Aunt Luo got started because of the dark knot in her womb. At that time, Xue Qingyan's mother was seriously ill, and she was irritated by her sister, and she died not long after. Naturally, Aunt Luo didn't give her sister a gift. Tea, so her aunt status is really embarrassing.

Li Xin just smiled lightly, did not join the topic, but also smiled to show that he was listening.

The wives in these houses need to gossip with people, what they lack is an audience.

Li Xin's attitude of listening carefully was obviously in line with the temperament of these three wives, and his words became more private.

"...I heard that Mr. Xue is serious about this concubine. There are gossips among the servants, saying that Aunt Luo is domineering in the backyard of Xue's family, and her own girl is also very arrogant. It's unreasonable at all, mother and daughter are both bad tempered, and they still want to pester Mr. Xue to her house..."

"However, I also heard that the Xue family has only a few heirs, and the old lady Xue is trying to find a few more concubines for her son, but Aunt Luo has a lot of means, and the old lady Xue has no I succeeded..."

"It's also Mr. Xue who disagrees. Otherwise, if a man wants to take a concubine, how can a woman stop him?" A lady sighed: "Just like you and me, there are always two naughty concubines in our family."

The three wives sighed again, but one of the wives looked at Li Xin and said with a smile: "Your master is a clean man. My master told me that he was going to the place of fireworks to discuss business. Your master Didn't overstep the bounds either."

Li Xin hurriedly laughed and said: "He has worked hard since he was a child, and he is a little impatient with adding concubines. He said that we are farmers after all, so we don't like this."

Of course Li Xin was not stupid enough to tell these wives that she had a deep relationship with Guan Wen, wouldn't that be hated?So he said something perfunctory.

The three wives praised Li Xin for his luck, but they didn't say anything.

While chatting, Mrs. Xun came in at the front door with a look of helplessness on her face. She coughed lightly and said, "There is another visitor at home. I'm going to find my two sisters-in-law. Let's play horses at two tables." How about hanging?"

Immediately afterwards, a soft female voice sounded: "Mrs. Xun doesn't have to work hard, I just sit on the side."

The voice is sincere, and people look at it with a sincere look.

The three wives looked at each other, with smiles on their faces at the same time, and said one after another: "Aunt Luo is here? Is this dress newly made? It looks so pretty."

"Did Aunt Luo bring Sister Die? I haven't seen her for a while, but I miss her a little bit."

"Has the house been properly prepared? Is the old lady in good health?"

Li Xin looked at the three wives in admiration, and thought to himself, this is serious lady diplomacy... One thing in front of one's face, one thing behind one's back, it's not artificial at all.

Li Xin also nodded towards Luo Shi appropriately, and said lightly: "Aunt Luo."

Luo Shi obviously remembered Li Xin. When he saw Li Xin, he was stunned for a moment. When Li Xin greeted her, the expression on his face suddenly became richer and changed a few times. The words of the lady.

"Please remember, this dress is only made by a master tailor. If you like it, I will send the pattern to your house."

"Sister Die has been feeling unwell recently, and was ordered by the master to take care of herself in the mansion, and it is inconvenient for her to go out. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Everything is going well at home, and the old lady is in good health. Thank you for your concern."

At the end of the answer, Aunt Luo just turned to Li Xin, glanced at her up and down, and said with a fake smile: "Hello, Mrs. Guan."

Mrs. Xun was a little puzzled: "Aunt Luo, this is Mrs. Guan, who just came to the town to settle down."

Another lady exclaimed in a low voice: "Aunt Luo recognizes Mrs. Guan?"

The three wives who were chatting with Li Xin just now looked at Li Xin nervously.

Li Xin was amused, they probably thought they had an affair with Aunt Luo, so they would tell Aunt Luo what they were muttering just now.Sure enough, you can't gossip behind people's backs.

Li Xin gave them a comforting smile, but Aunt Luo bent her lips and replied first: "The lady of the Guan family is also a wife. Congratulations to Mrs. Guan."

There was a hint of sarcasm in these words.

Li Xin only thought that Aunt Luo still hated the fact that she and Xue Zidie's mother and daughter had a conflict with her outside Yuanguang Temple and was robbed by Xue Qingyan, so seeing her was a bit yin and yang.She didn't intend to make friends with Aunt Luo, so naturally she wouldn't look at her face, so she immediately replied: "Aunt Luo is being polite, it can't compare to Xue's family, we are a small business, and everything depends on the ladies. My master is helping."

These words naturally made the wives present feel at ease, but Luo Shi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard them.

Naturally, she is not counted in the title of "ladies".

The smile on Aunt Luo's face stiffened.

Mrs. Xun called everyone to the poker table. Li Xin was originally watching the game, so naturally he continued to sit on the sidelines.Aunt Luo Later, Mrs. Xun invited her to play cards at the poker table. Aunt Luo declined a few times and then took the opportunity to accept Mrs. Xun's position.

The expression on Mrs. Xun's face froze slightly.

In fact, Mrs. Xun only invited Li Xin and two other wives over today, and she didn't say it was a horse hanging, only that they were chatting together.Unexpectedly, one of the wives happened to have an appointment with the other. Thinking that everyone knew each other well, the two of them came together, and there was one extra person in the four corners of the card table.

Mrs. Xun is the host, so of course they let the four of them serve the table.Li Xin would look at her eyes. Mrs. Xun told her that it was a horse hanging when she informed her, but she forgot to mention it when she informed that wife.

Li Xin knew that Mrs. Xun wanted to play poker, so he politely said that he didn't bring enough money, and was afraid of crying if he lost, so he laughed for a while and sat on the side to watch the excitement.

She winks, but that doesn't mean everyone is so sensible.Perhaps Aunt Luo felt too good about herself, so she didn't realize that Mrs. Xun was pretending to be modest, and she actually accepted Mrs. Xun's polite words to let her go to the poker table, and took the place of Mrs. Xun grandly.

Mrs. Xun smiled stiffly and said: "You guys are playing, I told the servant girl to get some tea and snacks... and the charcoal fire should be heated up a bit to keep warm."

As he spoke, he went to order people to do things.

When she came back after explaining something, Mrs. Xun didn't want to watch them play the horse hanging again, and sat on the side embroidering flowers, full of anger.

Li Xin was not a talkative person, so he stayed by Mrs. Xun's side, occasionally chatted with Mrs. Xun with a smile, and listened to the sound of cards being called over there.

With Aunt Luo's comparison, Li Xin became a confidant in Mrs. Xun's heart.Halfway through the embroidery, Mrs. Xun sighed in a low voice, "I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but it brought her here."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Madam, you don't have to worry about it. Whenever your hands feel itchy like a horse hanging, just ask someone to come to me."

Mrs. Xun chuckled: "You are so reluctant to part with the money, you are afraid that if you lose, you won't even go to the poker table crying. I told you, can you come?"

Li Xin laughed: "If you lose, you lose. It's just that when you win money, remember to keep me as a guest for a good meal."

Mrs. Xun laughed heartily.

Mrs. Xun is much older than Li Xin, and her eldest son has reached the age of marriage. Among these wives, she can be regarded as the eldest sister.He felt comfortable listening to Li Xin, and felt that she was easy to deal with, but he wanted to have a heart-to-heart with Li Xin.

After playing all afternoon, the game was about to end. Mrs. Xun adjusted her mentality and asked them with a smile how their results were today.

Although the three wives were smiling, their eyes were a bit dull.Aunt Luo was in high spirits.

"Today, the three elder sisters have spent a lot of money, and the younger sister won the first place. How about inviting everyone to Fumanlou for a fun time?"

Mrs. Xun said with a smile: "Today, the God of Wealth is on your side."

Aunt Luo smiled and said, "It's also thanks to my wife for giving me the seat, otherwise I might not be the one who wins today!"

One sentence made Mrs. Xun suddenly feel uncomfortable, and she forced a smile: "In this case, this meal is indispensable. Aunt Luo can look forward to a better life, and send us another post, she must eat this meal!"

Aunt Luo answered straightforwardly, perhaps because she was in a good mood after winning the money, and she didn't know that she had offended the four wives including Mrs. Xun imperceptibly.
