Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 83
But Gaoyi County Lord's reply almost didn't piss her off. A mere 100 taels of silver is sandwiched in a thin letter paper. Is this to send a beggar?

And there was only one sentence in the letter: Sister-in-law, it's not enough to find a job for you, so why don't you have to care about your prosperity for the rest of your life?

The cynicism and sarcasm in that sentence immediately overwhelmed Mrs. Xiao, she tore the letter paper and bank notes to pieces with two swipes!

Now that their eldest house is no longer living in the Lanling Mansion, Mrs. Xiao must have been completely won over by the mother and daughter of the Gaoyi County Lord. I am afraid that she will not say bad things about her behind her back, otherwise her son will be in trouble. Can my mother's old Mrs. Xiao ignore it?
Mrs. Xiao was angry when she thought about it, but they had nowhere to ask for help in Bianjing City, so she came to Du's house with the cheek, remembering that she had a good relationship with Mrs. Wang these days, so she lowered her face and begged.

Even if Mrs. Du can't take the initiative to help them, as long as he can show them a clear way, in the name of Mrs. Du, whatever he says can make others save some face.

Although Mrs. Xiao promised not to have anything to do with the Du family, but at that point, Mrs. Du's banner had to be shown, otherwise why should others trust them, and why should they give them face?

This is in front of one side and behind the other's back. Mrs. Xiao will know it, and Wang's is naturally not bad. This is not enough to say, and how to turn it around in the end depends on Mrs. Du's approval.

Mrs. Wang went back to Mrs. Du's room again, but Du Boxian hadn't left yet, so she repeated what Mrs. Xiao said, and finally said: "Mother-in-law, do you think this is a favor or not?"

"Did sister-in-law agree?"

Du Boxian looked at Wang Shi, with a smile that seemed to be not a smile on the corner of her lips.

Mrs. Wang was shocked immediately, and hurriedly waved her hands and said, "I didn't ask my mother-in-law about this matter, how dare I agree casually? But I just deal with it a little bit, and I'll give her a message later." As she spoke, she gave Du Boxian a light look, and she This little girl looks calm, but sometimes her temperament is unpredictable, even she has to deal with it carefully.

Mrs. Du's complexion pondered, "This matter seems trivial, but if it really happened, it would be more involved. Xiao Yitao has not been in office for a long time now, I'm afraid these are intentionally made things difficult by others, it depends on whether he will Be human..."

"That's according to my mother-in-law..."

Mrs. Wang asked tentatively, her eyes glanced over Du Boxian inadvertently, but she saw that her sister-in-law looked excited, even a little eager to do something, so she heard her say: "Help, why not?" help?!"

As Du Boxian spoke, she turned to Mrs. Du again, her eyes were shining brightly, "Mother, this is an opportunity that comes to your door, we have to seize it, and give Xiao Yitao a cover to drill in. I'm sure he will be grateful in the end." We don't know that our little tail is already in our hands, if we let him go east from now on, will he dare to go west?"

The corners of Wang's mouth twitched as soon as she heard that, this auntie thought more long-term, especially when she was cheating, she looked exactly like her husband, and it was indeed the Du family.

If Mrs. Xiao was here at this moment, I'm afraid she would not only be angry, she might even vomit blood.

"It's easy for you to say, but if you really want to do it, you have to think hard."

Mrs. Du narrowed her eyes slightly, obviously also thinking about the feasibility of Du Boxian's words, and said after a while: "Let's put it aside for now, I will discuss it with the old man later," then turned to Mrs. Wang and said, "I will trust you when I can wait." Call her back!"

"Well," Mrs. Wang responded, nodding respectfully to Mrs. Du, "The daughter-in-law obeys her mother-in-law in everything."

After Mrs. Xiao left the Du mansion, Xiao Huaisu knew that she had been here, and when she came to Mrs. Du, she felt a little regretful and said, "I haven't seen my second sister for such a long time. It's strange to miss her, but I don't know that my aunt is here this time." Why didn't you take her with you?"

Talking about her eyeballs rolling around, Mrs. Du couldn't help but chuckled when she saw it, she pinched Xiao Huaisu's little face and said, "What's the matter? I miss your second sister so much in my heart?"

"Second Sister and the others are newcomers after all, they are unfamiliar with the place, how many friends can they make?"

Xiao Huaisu told the truth, spreading his two small hands, "It means that I can run more frequently to our mansion, but it happens that I want to accompany my grandmother to the village to escape the summer heat. It has been several months, and I haven't seen her again when I come back." Jumping through the door, I was wondering!"

Mrs. Du smiled and embraced Xiao Huaisu in her arms, "I heard from Mrs. Xiao that the two young ladies of the Xiao family are now learning the rules behind closed doors. I'm afraid they are also aware of their own shortcomings. Hard work can make up for it!"

"Oh? So that's how it is."

It was only then that Xiao Huaisu suddenly realized, no wonder how Xiao Huaichang could stay at home according to his temperament, so he was forced to learn the rules again.

Now that the Xiao family has just gained a foothold in Bianjing City, naturally everything has to be planned in a good place. I am afraid Mrs. Xiao is thinking that it is best for the two daughters to get married here in the future, otherwise why do you want to learn the rules? Can it be done in front of other ladies, isn't it?

Xiao Huaisu turned her head to look at Mrs. Du, and saw that Mrs. Du had a pensive look on her face, and there was a hint of deep thought in her eyes staring at her. She couldn't help trembling in her heart, and forced a smile: "Grandmother, what's wrong with you?"

"I was wondering if I should let you and Sister Yu start to learn the rules too," Mrs. Du said slowly, stroking Xiao Huaisu's shoulder with one hand, "Sister Yun taught the mother to learn the rules as early as a few years ago." However, all kinds of etiquette and dealing with people are not bad at present. You two are a little younger, and I didn't think about that. You didn't make any big mistakes when you stayed by my side anyway, but the girl's age is getting older day by day. , I have to start planning."

It turned out to be like this, Xiao Huaisu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled Mimi and said: "Grandmother arranged it, I have no objection."

"That's good," Mrs. Du nodded, and made a final decision, "I'll talk to your aunt later, and find a strict nanny to control you two monkeys."

"Stick what you want, don't dare to ask for it!"

Xiao Huaisu's sudden words made Mrs. Du startled slightly, and then the grandparent and grandson looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Old lady, the imperial decree is here!"

Xiangtao raised the curtain and walked into the room, bowed to Mrs. Du and Xiao Huaisu.

"Oh, do you know what's going on?"

Mrs. Du asked, with a trace of surprise in her eyes, "Who is going to receive the order?"

"The eldest lady has already gone, I'm afraid she will return soon."

Xiangtao reported the report respectfully, with a smile on her lips, "I heard that it is the Queen's Empress's birthday banquet, I think it is to invite the female family members of the mansion to attend the banquet."

"Invite the family members of the mansion to the banquet?"

Mrs. Du was a little puzzled, and murmured: "In the past, I have never seen the empress make a special order for any family. This is a bit confusing."
