world wife

Chapter 54
"Why did the second brother come back suddenly, and he didn't send a letter first, so the elder brother can pick you up." Zhao Lingyi took a step forward, blocking Lian Xiyu behind him.

Seeing Zhao Lingyi like this, Zhao Linghuai just sneered

"You are busy taking care of your sisters and sisters on weekdays, how dare you bother me with such a small matter when I come back?"

Madam also saw this

"Since you're here, hurry up and say hello to the master. Xiyu, who has never seen her before, also came forward to serve tea and salute. Don't break the rules." The eldest lady seemed very happy today, and she was always the same from the beginning to the end. All smiles.

Lian Xiyu let go of Zhao Lingyi's hand, stood beside him and followed him forward

"I've seen my father, and I'm well." Lian Xiyu smiled, and soon a maid brought a futon, and even Xiyu knelt down to serve tea.

"Yeah." There was a faint sound from above his head, Xu Shi took the teacup and put it aside without even drinking it, and put a big red seal on the tea tray.

"Young Mistress, get up." Xiulan came over to support Lian Xiyu and said.

Lian Xiyu got up, looked at Mr. Zhao, stood behind him, and looked at Mr. Zhao's attitude. He didn't want to see Zhao Lingyi and his daughter-in-law, since she and Zhao Lingyi entered Since the beginning of this room, his complexion has never been better, he has been cold all the time, and he didn't even say a few words when offering tea.

Lian Xiyu looked at Zhao Lingyi who was on the side, still not understanding anything, joking and unserious, and slowly lowered his eyes to hide the look in his eyes.

"Where are everyone?" A laugh came from outside, Lian Xiyu looked over and saw the old lady walking towards her side holding the hand of her mother.

"Mother." Master Zhao respected his mother very much, and hurriedly got up to salute, Zhao Linghuai also came out, but his face smelled worse than when he looked at Zhao Lingyi.

"Well, it's good to be back." The old lady stepped forward with a smile. Although she hated her son for not being up to date, it was a piece of flesh that fell from her body. Now that she finally saw it, there are so many unsatisfactory things. happiness?

"Mother, Linghuai has also returned, and he has made a contribution this time. The emperor directly named a general of the third rank." The eldest lady pushed Zhao Linghuai and looked at the old lady with a smile and said.

"Grandmother." Zhao Linghuai had no choice but to come out and salute.

After all, the old lady has experienced so many things, her face is still as usual

"Really, that's really good. My Zhao family can be regarded as the younger generations who have talents. In the future, the prosperity of Rongguo Mansion will depend on you younger generations. Your father can't count on it." The old lady said jokingly. The master also coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Mom, sit down first."

The old lady nodded, but walked straight to Zhao Lingyi
"Ling Yi, sit next to me."

Everyone froze for a moment, even though they knew that Zhao Lingyi was the eldest grandson, but this time it was Zhao Linghuai who made the contribution.

"Mother, you sit down first, Ling Yi also sits, and Ling Huai sits next to Ling Yi." The eldest lady looked at Mr. Zhao with a bad face, and sneered in her heart, so what if this old woman is protecting Zhao Lingyi now? ?After all, his own father didn't want to see him.

"Linghuai sits next to me." Master Zhao said directly, and sat on the right side of the old lady after speaking, Zhao Linghuai naturally followed suit.

Zhao Lingyi still looked like he didn't understand anything, sat on the left side of the old lady, and kept calling Lian Xiyu to sit down, so it was even more unpleasant for Mr. Zhao to look at him like this. What can a son who only has a woman do for a long time?
The old lady didn't say anything, but just ordered everyone to sit down, and then began to eat, Lian Xiyu looked at the people at the big table with a calm face, the old lady was busy serving the old lady, so naturally she couldn't Sitting down to eat safely, she had to wait on the sidelines. Although the table was said to be filled with blood-related close relatives, all she saw was the peaceful fighting.

Lian Xiyu was still thinking about it, but suddenly felt a kind look, and saw Zhao Zhenci looking at her with a smile on her lips.

Even Xiyu smiled back, this Zhao Zhenci always gave her the feeling of being quiet and gentle, because she was a concubine, and she was also sitting on the table eating with Master Zhao at this time, the other aunts were not like her. Only the concubines and concubines are allowed to eat at the same table as the main room, but to Lian Xiyu's slight surprise, Yang Yueyan didn't come.

It wasn't too fast to use up a meal, and during the period, I only heard a little noise from the chopsticks touching the porcelain bowl, and Lian Xiyu didn't back down until the meal was finished, but it seemed that someone didn't want to let her go so easily.

"Sister-in-law's natal family is Yangzhou?" Zhao Linghuai asked suddenly.

Lian Xiyu looked up at Zhao Linghuai, not understanding why he asked this,

"Yes."

"Yangzhou is a good place. It must be like this in Yanyu Jiangnan. If all the women in that place are like sisters-in-law, brother must like that place very much." Zhao Linghuai looked at Lian Xiyu with a smile, but Lian Xiyu frowned. Frowning, everyone could hear the frivolity in Zhao Linghuai's words, but after Zhao Linghuai finished speaking, no one came out to criticize, including the old lady, are they all relying on Zhao Linghuai now?
"I don't know if Yangzhou is good or not. Although I grew up in Yangzhou, my family has been strict since I was a child, and I seldom go out to play. I don't know what the other Yangzhou women are like that my second brother said." Lian Xiyu took a step back and bowed his head.

The old lady put down her teacup, and glanced at Lian Xiyu, her advances and retreats were measured, it was really good, just now she deliberately didn't stop Zhao Linghuai, she just wanted to see what she would say, and if she dared to say it, after all, the lady He and the Elder both favored Zhao Linghuai.

Seeing Lian Xiyu like this, Zhao Linghuai laughed out loud.
"Sister-in-law has a very good manner. It seems that although Lianfu is a home of merchants, sister-in-law is less polluted by so much copper stench."

"Second brother is too famous. The Rongguo Mansion is a family of generals, but isn't the second brother equally courteous?" Lian Xiyu looked up at Zhao Linghuai with a smile. She didn't want to compete with Zhao Linghuai, but he seemed a little Insatiable.

Zhao Linghuai's expression froze slightly, but before he could say anything, the eldest lady gave him a reproachful look

"Ling Huai, you are tired today, go and rest earlier."

Zhao Linghuai swallowed the words in his mouth, looked at Lian Xiyu, the future is long, and this time he will take a long time before going out.

"Brother, Linghuai won't accompany you any longer." Zhao Linghuai clasped his hands together and said

Zhao Lingyi also hurriedly got up to return the gift
"Second brother, rest well."

Zhao Linghuai looked at Lian Xiyu beside Zhao Lingyi with a smile, saw her frown, the corners of her mouth raised high, turned around and left.

"It's time for me to take a rest too. People always feel tired when they are old." The old lady stood up and laughed.

"Mother, my son will take you home."

"Okay." The old lady laughed, walked two steps and looked at Zhao Lingyi

"Ling Yi is here too. I haven't talked to you for a long time. You two father and son will also accompany me well today. Otherwise, when I leave, you may not have the chance to talk to me even if you want to." The old lady looked at with a smile Zhao Ling explained.

Zhao Lingyi's face darkened slightly, but he heard Mr. Zhao say:

"Grandmother told you to come here. Is it possible that you have the same attitude when grandma wants to talk to you?" Master Zhao's attitude was very cold, even with the meaning of blame.
