The Hui family has its own trade-offs.

Zhu Cijun, the nephew who has only met a few times, he entered the Guozijian, is his parents, grandparents, and the remnants of the ancestors of the Zhu family, and then I am grateful to the fourth grandfather for carrying him, so many people in front of him are in the way, when it comes to how much kindness can she get from the fourth grandmother? Sending Xu Shouchuan in is different, this is something she has contributed to, giving grace and retribution, Xu Shouchuan will come out in the future, and he has to honor her well, and compared to the nephew who is not related to the blood, Xu Shouchuan is the son of her brother-in-law, and there is a blood connection, this relationship is different.

Furthermore, the old Zhu family is already beautiful enough, how many official bodies do Zhu Cijun's parents, uncles and brothers, Zhu Cijun is the icing on the cake as for the Zhu family, the Xu family does not need Zhu Cijun's brilliance for the Zhu family, but their Xu family needs it too much, her grandfather has been a jinshi, her father has been a man after the age of thirty, and the brother is in Xiucai, if Xu Shouchuan can't get ahead in the imperial examination, and three generations in a row are weak, the Xu family can only hang the name of cultivating and reading heirlooms, while collecting some land rent, while reading sour and rotten articles?

The door fell, the family declined, how could the Xu family bear to watch and not help his mother's family?

This thought went back and forth in her stomach, Xu Shi was about to confide in Zhu Qin about her mother's difficult predicament with tears in her eyes, Zhu Qin put on her robe, and left with her legs, Xu Shi had already opened her mouth behind her, and she did not hold Zhu Qin's footsteps.

At the time of dinner, Xu's was still decorated with radiant appearance, a large round table with a diameter of eight feet of wenge peony pattern, which was originally built for a family to eat at the same table, and twenty people could sit around, including Li Fei, Song Duofu, Xu Shouchuan, and Xu Min, and thirteen people stood up. Xu Shi looked at Zhu Hong's side, his expression was quite uncomfortable, and he said unwillingly: "Why is Brother Qing not here, it's too late!"

When the family eats, the elders are the last to arrive, and the children who don't have to be called parents are waiting.

"Sit down. ”

Zhu Qin had already sat down, and when he saw that Xu was still clubbing, he asked the children to sit down.

More than a dozen people hesitated, it was to give Xu's face, Xu couldn't help it, and sat down stupidly, for a while, the aunts and maids surrounded more than a dozen masters, Aunt Fan served beside Zhu Qin and Xu, and today she was waiting for a lot of work, and her thin white wrist held a cup of jujube silk bird's nest in front of Xu, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Cheng is worried about it, today the eldest young master sprained his ankle while riding a horse, and it is so swollen that the old man sticks to the plaster and smells bad, the master said, let him rest in his own room, and he will not come out." ”

Xu's plan, Li Fei only entered the house a few days ago and asked, Ji Qing's daughter-in-law and a housekeeper can also say, a cousin and cousin of the same age, or a cousin and cousin, one is easy to have an accident if he doesn't take precautions, the Zhu family had this kind of thing in the early years, it's right to be more careful. The Xu family is declining, and when it comes to the niece's generation, Xu Min is just a talented daughter. Zhu Qing wants to be a military attaché, he is the best foil for his concubine in the future, and marrying Xu Min is not beneficial to his career, so Aunt Fan doesn't want her son to marry his wife's niece.

Aunt Fan's seemingly humble but provocative smile shook in front of Xu's eyes, and Xu wanted to slap it, but he couldn't, and said softly and with concern: "He eats alone in the house, and asks the kitchen to make a double mushroom gluten, he loves to eat this." ”

Li Fei listened to the conversation between Xu and Aunt Fan, and quietly observed Xu Min on the left with his eyes, but saw that her face was plain, her appearance was already gentle and beautiful, and she was sitting there dignified in a new lotus-colored long jacket, and there seemed to be a little gloomy between her eyebrows.

Li Fei retracted his gaze and took the initiative to smile at Zhu Qin: "Father, my second sister and second brother-in-law have arrived in Beijing, and it is inconvenient to stay in a hurry today, I think that in two days, I will invite my second sister to have a good gathering the day after tomorrow." ”

Zhu Qin listened to Li Fei's affectionate words, his heart was slightly relieved, and he bowed his head and said, "When do you want to invite, just ask." Le Xian's nephew wants to work in the hospital...... The worship at home is also an old doctor, but you can go and ask for advice. ”

Li Fei responded politely: "Okay, I'll ask my brother-in-law to come over the day after tomorrow." ”

Both things were blocked, and Xu couldn't hold back the repeated blows, and looked at her husband with a hint of resentment.

Zhu Qin turned to Xu Shouchuan, a pair of eagle eyes staring, full of scrutiny and suppression.

Xu Shouchuan held the chopsticks that were getting heavier and heavier, and nodded in shame. Just now, Li Fei and Zhu Qin were talking with a smile, Xu Shouchuan quietly glanced at Li Fei, only to see her snow muscles and jade bones, cloud temples and green eyebrows, bright and indescribable, he liked the color too much, and took another look, now that he thinks that this one is going to be matched with King Xiang, he himself feels that he is abruptly beautiful, and quickly lowered his head.

Zhu Qin looked at Xu Shouchuan like this and casually encouraged a few words, eating many people in one meal is not a taste.

After the meal, Xu Min and Zhu Miaohua walked all the way, these two people were very affectionate, walking slowly on the porch next to each other, Xu Min said as he walked: "Cousin, is Miss Song next to Sister Li older than me?"

Xu Min now lives in the Xuanguo Mansion, and Song Duofu also lives here, Xu Min seems to see his own kind and cares more about this one.

"Yes, she is sixteen years old this year, and her sister brought her from the southwest, saying that she brought her to be a playmate. Zhu Miaohua hooked the corners of her lips, and her words had a deep meaning: "She has also made good luck in her life, my sister treats her more dearly than her own sister." ”

"Oh......"

Xu Min pulled the tail note long, aren't Li Fei's own sisters the four of the Xuanguo Mansion, past them? Xu Min comprehended, but spoke for the friendship between Li Fei and Song Duofu: "They should have been friends for many years, this relationship came out overnight." ”

After saying that, he thought about his own affairs, and said melancholy: "How good it is to live in the Xuanguo Mansion, get a little bit of the nobility of the first-class Duke's Mansion, and talk about family affairs in the future...... It's always good. ”

"It's not just good, it's excellent!" Zhu Miaohua stood up and said: "My sister is gentle and elegant on her face, and she has a deep calculation in her heart, and she is still in the boudoir to arrange everything for the future." Song Duofu's follower, probably Xu gave the Xiangwang Mansion Honor Guard Master of Ceremonies Wei Zheng, Cheng An Guocheng, this is a five-rank military general. ”

The matter of Song Duofu and Cheng Anguo, before crossing the bright road, Li Fei and Song Duofu's people were strict and did not make a noise, but Zhu Miaohua saw that there was one more person around Li Fei and would also investigate, she and Fan Shen's marriage was decided, and asked Fan Shen to investigate, and found out Song Duofu's inside and out with a casual check, so as to make this matter clear.

"Miss Song has a blessing in her name, which is really blessed. Xu Min couldn't help but be envious, and asked tentatively: "Although she is good friends with Sister Li, she thinks that her background is not bad, so she can get such a good family." ”

"Yes, the guard of honor is positive, the first person who can be a guard of honor has to be dignified, the man's appearance is not bad, he is already an official of the fifth grade, the guard of honor of the Xiangwang Mansion is not worse than the prefect in the boundary of Xiangyang, but ......it's a pity" Zhu Miaohua sighed and said softly: "The ancestors of the Song family have not been famous for eight generations, and the family does some porcelain trading, but it is just the daughter of an ordinary businessman." ”

Cheng Anguo is paired with Song Duofu, Cheng Anguo is really a pity!

Xu Min didn't feel very comfortable listening to it, and frowned, but then lowered his head sideways and suppressed the unhappiness that appeared on his face.

When she came out this time, she knew how much her parents and aunt were planning, her aunt's eldest son was thirteen years old, and her aunt's father was staring at cultivation, since he couldn't raise him, he had to envelop him, and two years old was not too much, so the Xu family planned to marry her to Zhu Qing. She knew this plan and did not resist, although it was not the tall and majestic husband she imagined, two years younger, two years younger, the identity of the eldest son of the princess, without her aunt's matchmaking, it would not be her turn. But at the dining table just now, she felt embarrassed. Sprained her foot and ate in the house? Their Xu family eagerly showed their goodwill, and the other side guarded her like a flood beast.

In this Xuanguo Mansion, Mrs. Cai has passed away, and her aunt can't be the master yet!

Xu Min clearly knew how useless her aunt was, and she was a little less disappointed in that almost impossible marriage, but now there is a daughter of a businessman who has not been famous for eight generations of ancestors, compared to Song Duofu, where is she worse, than her background, the Xu family has been famous for generations, more than herself, her flower-like beauty is better than the other party, and no matter how talented she is, her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not to mention proficient, and she will always be able to win her husband's heart in the future.

But in the current situation, she was disliked by an aunt, not as good as her, Song Duofu, who was also a sojourner, saw that there was a wishful husband!

Zhu Miaohua clearly saw the unhappiness on Xu Min's face, raised her hand and stroked Xu Min's fair and delicate cheeks, her eyes were clouded with endless grievances.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Min saw the change in Zhu Miaohua's eyes and asked curiously.

"It's nothing!" Zhu Miaohua turned her face away and said softly: "Song Duofu is not very beautiful, has no talent, and has no family background, she has no such blessing, I want you to be better than her, but the marriage is bumpy, I am grieving for you." ”

"Cousin......" Xu Min felt in her heart, although she also thought so, but how could she admit such a hidden mind, so she forced a smile and said: "Thank you cousin for your concern, I think my parents are on top, and my aunt bothered to take care of it, I always have a good marriage!"

"Silly girl!" Zhu Miaohua looked at Xu Min with pity and sighed: "Song Duofu didn't have this blessing, but now that she has it, there is always someone who has lost her blessing!"

The person who has lost his blessing is Xu Min.

In her previous life, she was Cheng Anguo's wife.

In that life, she and Zhao Yanheng returned to the fiefdom of Xiangyang, Zhao Yanheng always lived in Shuijing'an Valley, at a glance it was full of mountains and water, every morning was the boredom of bird calls, and the afterglow of the sunset was quiet without a sound, Zhu Miaohua didn't like to nest in the valley, living in a simple life, so she stayed up for more than a month and came out, in the second year of her marriage, that is, next year, Xu Min came to live in Xiangyang Palace.

is the so-called hero sad beauty, in the previous life, Cheng Anguo married her, the little couple loved each other, even if the Xuanguo Mansion was later demoted, before she died, Xu Min was still good with Cheng Anguo, and now they are a couple, I am afraid that there is no fate in the previous life.

Gone?
