Chapter 38
"My concubine thinks that she is magnanimous in everything, so I'd better meet Aunt Jiang and tell Aunt Jiang another day. As long as her hands are not so tight, I will naturally fulfill my responsibilities as a concubine." Han said with a look on her face. dissatisfied.

Xiao Maoyang was a little impatient, "I'll talk about her. Why didn't I see that girl Mingxuan today?"

"I want to report to the lord, the lord intends to say it regardless of the status of the concubine. Just a few days ago, the three sisters of Mingxuan went to visit the eldest girl together, thinking that the eldest girl's injury is still unhealed, and our fifth room should at least express it. I never thought of it." That big girl was too irritable, she even used Mingxuan's background to make a fuss about Aunt Jiang. But this matter did not disturb the old lady, but I was worried that the old lady would get angry and lose her body."

"You bastard!" Xiao Maoyang slapped the table fiercely, not knowing whether he was scolding Xiao Mingqi or Xiao Mingxuan. "How can there be such a bastard in the Xiao family? The girl's family is not chaste and virtuous at all. How is it different from the shrews on the street. I haven't come home for several years. Why have all the rules of our Xiao family been lost? You are in charge of the inner house , Even if you don’t teach your children well, it’s a dereliction of duty.”

Well, this is scolding everyone.

The Han family is full of grievances, but it is difficult to argue with Xiao Maoyang on this matter. After all, in terms of the responsibility of the aunt, she did have dereliction of duty. "Master calm down, my concubine is also self-reflecting. The children are all grown up, unlike when they were young, they now have their own ideas. If this person thinks too much, it is inevitable that right and wrong will arise. Besides, my sister-in-law's temperament, master It's not that I don't know, but it's the most protective. Ming Qi is also overly spoiled. I told the master before that the eldest girl's temper is bad. But it is the matter of the eldest family after all, so there is no room for our fifth house to question it. Master If you really want to take care of it, it's best to let the old lady come forward. I still admire the way the old lady trains people."

Xiao Maoyang frowned. A big man is in charge of the affairs of the inner house, which really dishonored his reputation, "You can make up your own mind on this matter. In short, don't let such a thing happen again in the future."

"The concubine woke up. Then the master will rest here today." Han was a little shy, after all, she was a woman, and she still couldn't let go when talking about these things.

Xiao Maoyang asked back, "Aren't the girls Ming Xuan and Ming Yu resting in your room?"

Yes!How can this be good.Mrs. Han was worrying, so Nanny Chang came to relieve the siege, saying that the two sisters Xiao Mingyu had already left. Seeing Mrs. Han talking with Xiao Maoyang, she didn't come to bother her.He said that he would come over early tomorrow morning to kowtow to the two of them to pay New Year's greetings.

Han's heart is happy, these two girls are really ghost spirits.Xiao Maoyang followed Han's wishes and stayed in Hengwei Hall to rest.

At Sima's house, it was already the third watch, and Sima Yunfei was still talking to his father, Sima Zhao, in the study.Sima Yunfei seemed a little confused, "Father, do you still need your son to hang out at Xiao's house all day after the New Year?"

Sima Zhao flipped through the account books from previous years, "Don't worry, things will come to fruition soon, and you won't need to go to Xiao's house by then."

"Father, although we say that we intend to confuse the Xiao family and other families, it's hard to guarantee that no one will find out our intentions. Besides, it's not easy to explain to the Prince of Qin's mansion. My son feels that we should be careful about the Fan family. The princess is from the Fan family. "Sima Yunfei said solemnly.

"It doesn't matter, the princess is from the Fan family in the capital, not the Fan family in Zhongzhou. From the position of the princess, she has no reason to object. As for the prince, as long as the mining industry is in the hands of the palace, who is going to take care of it? There is no difference in the palace. Besides, Xiao Maolin is still an official in the capital, and the Yue family of the fifth master of the Xiao family is the famous Han family in the capital. These two points alone are enough to make the palace I am dissatisfied with the Xiao family." Sima Zhao said affirmatively.

"But the situation of the Xiao family has been going on for so many years, why the palace didn't care about it before, but now they care about it?" Sima Yunfei asked curiously.

Sima Zhao smiled, "Yunfei, don't you understand the prince's thoughts? You must know that the prince was adopted by the former emperor's son to the old prince as his son. More than ten years ago, our prince was still young, and his mind was still in the capital. Just treat yourself as a prince, not a prince, and follow the emperor wholeheartedly. At that time, our Zhongzhou aristocratic families ran to the capital all because they were worried that one day the imperial court would withdraw the military power of the Qin Palace and put Zhongzhou under the management of the imperial court. The Xiao family was also at that time When I started to manage the capital, the prince’s heart was in the royal family at that time, so he didn’t have to worry about it. Now the prince has tasted the taste of power, and he really regards himself as the king of Qin, and he is more and more dissatisfied with the embarrassment of the court. If the prince wants to knock mountains and shake tigers, the Xiao family can be regarded as a good target .”

Sima Yunfei was taught, "My son understands. But my son still needs to use the Song family as a cover, and I'm worried that the Song family will hinder him."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Song is very shrewd. The Xiao family has collapsed, and the Song family can benefit from it. They will only cooperate and will not hinder you. After the new year, you will continue to run to the Xiao family. In short, we must make people trust us, Sima. The family intends to make good friends with the Xiao family, do you understand?"

"My son understands."

Xiao Mingyu and Xiao Mingxuan came to Hengwei Hall together, and saw Ying Ying, who was beside Aunt Jiang, standing outside.Xiao Mingxuan's eyebrows twitched, "Auntie came here quite early today. I have never seen her so diligent before."

Nanny Ying smiled awkwardly, and stepped forward to greet the two of them.

Xiao Mingyu politely said Happy New Year, and secretly pulled Xiao Mingxuan, signaling her to say a few words less.Xiao Maoyang is inside, and it's the first day of the new year, so don't make trouble.

Entering the house, sure enough, Aunt Jiang, mother and son all came.Xiao Mingyu looked at Xiao Maoyang curiously. He was wearing a navy blue wide-sleeved robe, a belt of the same color, and a jade crown on his head. He was sitting on the head, looking extremely handsome and majestic.The eyes are piercing and bright, giving people a sense of openness and selflessness.Seeing it makes me feel good.Xiao Mingyu secretly sighed, parents have strong genes, no wonder the children born are so good.Even Aunt Jiang's two children are also very good-looking.

Seeing everyone arrived, led by Xiao Mingxuan, the eldest daughter, the four siblings went forward to kowtow to Xiao Maoyang and the Han family to congratulate the new year.

Mrs. Han is in a good mood, even if Aunt Jiang is by her side, it doesn't affect her mood.He smiled and said: "Get up quickly, come, New Year's red envelopes, one for each person."

"Thank you mother."

Then Xiao Maoyang also sent a red envelope, and encouraged him a few more words, so that the siblings got up one after another.

Aunt Jiang stepped forward, knelt on the ground to kowtow to Mrs. Han and Xiao Maoyang, and then took the bundle from Nanny Ying, "Madam, master, and concubine each made a suit of clothes for Mrs. and Master in their free time. This is Please accept my wife's kindness." After speaking, he raised the burden with both hands.

Mrs. Han narrowed her eyes slightly, what a aunt Jiang, she really knows how to express herself.He laughed again: "My aunt has a heart. Would you like to see Aunt Jiang's handicraft? It's amazing."
