Chapter 285 The Mao Family’s Secret!

Xu Dao was more and more confused by this inexplicable conversation. What did the old lady mean by this?

Xu Dao subconsciously looked at Ge Lao, wanting to ask about the secret, but Ge Lao was watching his nose and heart at this time, and seemed to be indifferent to the matter.

This doubt did not last long. When An Tiangong's children came out during the meal, he had guessed the whole story.

Xu Dao was at a loss for words for a moment. The old lady actually intended to match him with An Shu's daughter An Shenxiu.

An Tiangong had a son and a daughter. The son An Shentong was the youngest, even one year younger than Ge Yushu, but the daughter An Shenxiu was now fourteen years old.

She looked very good. There was a bit of the old lady and the master's wife in her eyebrows and eyes. Even though she was not fully grown at this time, her appearance was definitely not bad. However, this woman did not have the delicate and innocent look of an ordinary woman. As soon as she appeared, she scared Xu Dao.

Normally, which girl would come up to you and put her arm around your shoulders as soon as they meet? "Are you Xu Dao? Uncle's disciple?"

Xu Dao's whole body stiffened, and he nodded, "Yes!"

"You are not yet fourteen?"

Xu Dao still nodded.

An Shenxiu laughed and patted Xu Dao's shoulder, "From now on, I will protect you!"

At this time, everyone in the room was silent, and An Tiangong lowered his head to eat! The master's wife wanted to but didn't dare, and Ge Lao picked up some food for Ge Yushu.

An Tiangong's wife, Li, was embarrassed and wanted to ask An Tiangong for help, but An Tiangong just pretended not to see it.

She knew what the old lady meant by arranging An Shenxiu to be by Xu Dao's side.

Although she didn't force the two to get married, she also wanted to create more opportunities for them.

She was naturally very satisfied with Xu Dao. Whether it was character or talent, he was the best choice in the world. Even in the county city, it was not necessarily possible to find such an outstanding young man.

However, her daughter was too embarrassing. She was given a big fight as soon as she appeared. What kind of girl would talk to people like this? She was like a rascal!

The old lady was still smiling. Listening to An Shenxiu's unreliable words, she laughed even more happily, and didn't even think that An Shenxiu did anything wrong.

She also saw Li's embarrassment, but just reached out and patted Li's arm, "Don't worry! What do you want with the child?"

Speaking of which, the children of the An family, as well as Ge Yushu who stayed in the An family before, have always been taken care of by the old lady.

This is also the reason why Li felt that Xiuxiu's behavior was absurd, but she didn't dare to say a word. If she really scolded Xiuxiu, it would be scolding the mother-in-law for not teaching the child well!

Xu Dao also relaxed at this time, because he found that this girl knew nothing about love and affection, and was clearly still a child.

And it seemed that her behavior was seriously inconsistent with that of a lady, but this kind of frankness really made people hate it.

The master's wife lowered her voice and whispered in Ge Lao's ear: "Actually... they are a good match!"

Ge Lao scratched his head, "I don't have any opinion, but the biggest problem is not how we think, but Xu Dao himself!"

The master's wife nodded. In fact, she felt that Xu Dao and Xiuxiu were a good match, but she didn't think that these two people could make it.

These two people, a maid, are ignorant of love and have no relevant concepts at all. A boy, although his mind is mature, he is only focused on the Tao and doesn't think about other things at all.

These two people feel awkward no matter how they get together! I don't know where the mother got the confidence to let these two people get together.

After dinner, in the flower hall in the front yard, all the women left, leaving only Xu Dao, An Tiangong, and Ge Lao to chat.

After the maid brought tea and retreated far away, Xu Dao finally remembered the business of this trip!

"Uncle An, can I ask you something?"

An Tiangong nodded. He didn't take what happened at the dinner table to heart. It's not that he looked down on Xu Dao. If Xu Dao really wanted to be his son-in-law, he would be happy, but this kind of thing depends on fate.

How could he not know what kind of personality his daughter had? Although part of it was because her mother brought her around and deliberately spoiled her, the biggest reason was actually that Xiuxiu was like this by nature.

Compared to his son's introversion, Xiuxiu's extroversion was too conspicuous. If the two of them had the opposite personality, it would be perfect.

It was precisely because of this that An Tiangong was not embarrassed and just thought it was a farce! Anyway, they were all just children!

Of course, the one in front of him couldn't be regarded as an ordinary child. At such an age, a seventh-grade peak warrior and a third-grade alchemist, he would be a leader in any place.

Strength will make people ignore his age! In addition to Xu Dao's outstanding aura, An Tiangong subconsciously treated Xu Dao as a human being, even as an equal to himself, when he heard Xu Dao speak.

"Does Uncle An know about the Mao family in Jing'anfang?"

Ge Lao, who was standing by, also put down his teacup and looked over here, but he didn't understand why Xu Dao suddenly asked about the Mao family. He only knew that the two Dan servants in Canxia Hall were surnamed Mao, but as far as he knew, the siblings had a good relationship with Xu Dao, so why would they suddenly investigate the Mao family?

Is there any hidden story behind this?

Uncle An was also surprised when he heard this. He thought there was something wrong, but he didn't expect that he would ask about the Mao family in Jing'anfang. But he didn't know if the Mao family had a grudge with Xu Dao? However, what does this have to do with him?

"The Mao family, of course I know! As a big family in the prefecture, although my An family has fallen in recent years, I still know a lot about those big families that are also aristocratic families!" An Tiangong nodded.

Xu Dao was delighted. His idea was right. If he wanted to understand these aristocratic families, the best channel was to go through the forces of the same aristocratic families.

Even the files in the prefecture were far inferior to these. After all, some anecdotes would not be recorded in the files. The files generally only recorded things that had been confirmed.

Moreover, the relationship between the government and the aristocratic families has always been both enemies and friends.

These aristocratic families would naturally reject the approach of official forces and would try every means to divide and disintegrate the power of the government.

And the local government would also continue to erode the power and interests of these aristocratic families.

But to a certain extent, both sides had to cooperate! The government could not maintain the stability of a place without the aristocratic families. The aristocratic families also needed a sufficiently friendly government to preside over the overall situation. After all, one was an official and the other was a civilian!

Therefore, it was actually very difficult for the government to dig deep into the information of the aristocratic families, and these families would do their best to resist. These aristocratic families have been entrenched here for generations, and have long been deeply rooted. It is not so easy to pry a crack from the outside.

On the contrary, the An family, which is also a noble family, has information channels even though it is now in decline.
