Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 82
Mrs. Du gave a light hum in response.

Du Boxian at the side flashed her gaze, and said with a soft smile: "Mrs. Xiao is right. Although the Lanling Mansion is not small, it is a little far away from Bianjing City. Mrs. Xiao has lived there for many years. I know what is fashionable in the world of noble ladies nowadays, just tell me. Although I am far away in Yanping, I have to send people to go to the south of the Yangtze River every spring and autumn. The fashionable things there are linked to the city of Bianjing. Don't leave!" Then she covered her lips and smiled on Mrs. Du's shoulders, mocking herself, "If it wasn't otherwise, I wouldn't let people laugh at me as a bumpkin when I come back to Beijing, I'm afraid my mother wouldn't want me to enter this house. What an embarrassment to see!"

"You girl, how old you are are you still talking nonsense!"

Mrs. Du reprimanded Du Boxian, but her eyes were full of smiles, she obviously loved her like a child, no matter how old her daughter was, she was still a mother's treasure.

Mrs. Xiao's expression froze when she heard this, she couldn't hold back her smile anymore, she stood up with a "babble", her hands clenched into fists in her sleeves.

Du Boxian obviously meant that Sang called Huai a bumpkin!

Mrs. Wang hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, and pulled Mrs. Xiao's hand to comfort her: "Our aunt has such a temper, she doesn't hold back her words, and everyone at home usually lets her go, so don't argue with her," she said. She turned around and confessed to Mrs. Du, "Mother-in-law, let Bo Xian accompany you well, and I will take Mrs. Xiao to my room to have a conversation."

"Go!"

Mrs. Du waved her hand indifferently.

Seeing Mrs. Xiao's face turning livid, Du Boxian was secretly pleased, so she ignored it and only talked to Mrs. Du, letting Mrs. Xiao be dragged out by Mrs. Wang.

It wasn't until the figures of the two disappeared that Mrs. Du smiled helplessly, and tapped Du Boxian's forehead with one hand, "Do you feel at ease now?"

"That's not true," Du Boxian raised the corners of her lips, "The Xiao family has never been nice to Bo Shu's mother and daughter. I'm asking for some interest." He sat up straight again, with deep lights in his eyes, and said in deliberation "Today, Mrs. Xiao is afraid that she will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I am so angry with her that she has the patience not to leave, and she was forced to come down by the sister-in-law. I am afraid that she needs to ask our family for help!"

Mrs. Du's expression was slightly startled, and she figured out the truth after a while, she just said with emotion: "On weekdays, you are not a big or small girl, but you are more clever than an old woman like me at critical times."

"Sister-in-law won't let her go for nothing, will she?"

Du Boxian was a little worried. It would be too disappointing if the Wang family responded to the Xiao family's requests.

"You still don't understand your sister-in-law's temperament?" Mrs. Du was not in a hurry at all, she just patted Du Boxian's hand and comforted: "Your sister-in-law has a sense of proportion in everything, which is much better than you, if you don't believe me , I will wait here later, if Mrs. Xiao leaves, your sister-in-law will definitely come back."

"Okay, I'll wait here!"

Du Boxian raised her eyebrows slightly, leaned on Mrs. Du's shoulder with admiration, and said softly: "No matter how powerful my sister-in-law is, I still have to report everything to my mother. I hope that one day I can be like my mother." Such an old Fengjun, then this burden will be relieved." There was a little helplessness and emotion in the words.

Mrs. Du's thoughts moved, she wrapped her arms around Du Boxian's shoulders, and patted lightly, "Xian'er, what do you want to say? This is your natal family, and there is no intrigue between husband and wife. Although my wife is not helpful, That's also the mother who gave birth to you and raised you, jumped out of my stomach, and I'll know what you're thinking when you wag your tail..."

"Mother……"

Du Boxian's eyes were red, and she leaned into Mrs. Du's arms. Only when she truly became someone else's daughter-in-law would she know how precious the time of being a girl was.

Mrs. Du and Du Boxian were talking about their mother-daughter relationship, and Mrs. Wang also understood the reason why Mrs. Xiao came to Du's mansion this time.

"No, our Lord Hou just found out that there is something wrong with the meal account not long after he became the prime minister of Guanglu Temple. If we report it, we are afraid of offending others. If we don't report it, we will have to bear it ourselves if we are found out in the future. What do you think? Is it difficult or not?"

Mrs. Xiao had long forgotten the unhappiness just now, and stroked her forehead with one hand. After all, she came here for help this time. Even if she felt a little unhappy, she should lower her posture, "For this matter, Lord Hou You and I haven't slept soundly for the past few days, so I came here to ask you for an idea."

Wang Shi pursed her lips tightly, the expression in her eyes was as deep as a deep pool, and she fell silent for a long time.

Mrs. Xiao has a good plan, I am afraid that these two couples are also here to explore the way. If they can get favors from the Du family, they may make more progress in the future. This big tree is originally from my own family, and it is better than people with foreign surnames.

But in this way, isn't it all in vain that she has been nagging Mrs. Xiao these days?

It was not easy for Mrs. Xiao to realize the reality. She knew that the two families of the Xiao family could not walk on the same road forever, but if they had to go back again... Wang's thoughts were flying, and she soon became concerned.

It's not a matter of the meal account in the palace, it's actually not difficult to deal with, but if it's too easy to deal with, Mrs. Xiao may be overjoyed.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang showed a troubled expression, "Mrs. Xiao, it's not that I don't want to help. Our old man is in that position, so many pairs of eyes are staring at our Du family, just waiting for us to do anything. You can't let go of your mistakes, and you know that..."

Mrs. Xiao nodded repeatedly, then tightened Wang's hand and said anxiously: "Mrs. Du, I didn't mean to embarrass your old lady. After all, we are new to Bianjing, so we don't know the depth of the water. If the old lady can give me some advice There is a clear road, we will arrange it ourselves later, and Bao Zhun has nothing to do with the Du family."

Wang's thoughts moved, she couldn't help taking a deep look at Mrs. Xiao, she was indeed a good person, capable of bending and stretching, and knew how to endure, if she hadn't married into the Xiao family, she might not be too much to be a mistress in any aristocratic family.

Under Mrs. Xiao's anxiously expecting eyes, Mrs. Wang was silent for a while, and then said: "I can't decide this matter, so how about it, I will go back and talk to the old lady to see if she has any ideas. Believe me, I will send someone to call you back."

"Then...then there is Mrs. Laudu."

Mrs. Xiao responded with a forced smile, if she really had a way, she would not have saved the Du family.

I heard that Eunuch Hong, the head of the eunuch who supervised the food accounts in the past, is a famous person in front of the emperor. Xiao Yitao dared not offend him when he first arrived, but he would feel a little unwilling to let them take the blame. If something is found out , this hole has to be filled.

Before coming to the Du Mansion, Madam Xiao did not write a letter back to Linglan. Originally, she wanted the Lord Gaoyi County to help her get acquainted with the court, or she could ask Princess Daming to help them. Some silver at the bottom of the box will do.
