Jinyu took the hand stove, and Jinxin hurriedly took the cloak for Xu Yujian.

Jin Nian and Jin Hua had already sent the hot tea at this time, Xu Yujian took a sip of the tea gently, and his body, which was originally slightly cold, quickly warmed up under the effect of the tea and the earth dragon in the house, and even the fingertips that were originally a little cold became warm.

The affairs in the house have been dealt with, Shen Xi went to the yamen again, and the county lord of Anyang took pity on Xu Yujian's coldness, and specially instructed Xu Yujian not to go to Anhe Courtyard for lunch......

Xu Yu saw that there was nothing else to do, so he asked someone to bring the needle and thread.

Her female celebrity can only be regarded as passable, but it is still okay to make a dress, so I thought about making a winter coat for Shen Xi to wear.

After Shen Xi knew that Xu Yujian was going to make clothes for him, he was dangling in front of her when he saw Tian'er, and from time to time he had to inquire when the clothes would be ready, saying that he wanted to wear them to Chen Yi'an to show off.

Thinking of this, Xu Yujian couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

The needlework had not been done for a while, and a mother-in-law who was guarding the second gate asked to see him.

Xu Yu was a little surprised.

Today's weather can be said to be extremely cold, and few people should go out in such weather, and she hasn't received a post from anyone before.

So......

Who will suddenly come to the door now?

Although he had some doubts, Xu Yujian still asked Jin Nian to bring the woman in.

The woman wore a navy blue jacket, and after entering the house, her brows were obviously stretched a lot, and she saluted Xu Yujian very respectfully, "The old slave has seen the princess of the county." ”

Xu Yujian said softly, "But what's the matter?"

The mother-in-law's face turned pale, "Back to the princess of the county, there is a lady outside who asks to see her, saying that it is the princess of the county and your aunt......"

As she spoke, the woman was also a little unsure.

Since Xu Yujian and Shen Xi got married, Xu Huizhen has also led several children to the county king's mansion several times in the past few months, and this mother-in-law has also seen it.

If it was Xu Huizhen, she would have invited someone in respectfully.

But the one who came from outside......

If it weren't for the uncertainty of whether Xu Yu saw any other aunts, this mother-in-law would have let the porter drive people away a long time ago.

Xu Yu was also stunned when he heard this.

Just listening to this mother-in-law's reply, I knew that it would not be Xu Huizhen who came.

It's not Xu Huizhen, but she claims to be her aunt......

Xu Yu saw that he was about to wave his hand, but he was stunned by the sudden thought of something.

She remembered that although she often referred to Xu Yujian as "aunt", in fact, Xu Huizhen was Xu Yujian's second aunt, and in addition to Xu Huizhen, Xu Yujian did have an aunt.

The eldest aunt, Xu Huiying, is five years older than Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huiying is a concubine, and her biological mother is Aunt Feng.

When Xu Huiying got married, Xu Yujian was not yet born, and although Xu Huiying was not married far away, after getting married, she followed her husband who went to other places to serve as an official, because of the long distance, she has not returned to the capital for many years, let alone her parents' home.

So although she is Xu Yujian's aunt, Xu Yujian has never met her.

Xu Yujian heard Jiang occasionally mention it before, Xu Huiying was an extremely gentle and supple person when she was in the boudoir, and she didn't have so many hearts, so although she was a concubine, the old lady did not treat her harshly, and about a year after Jiang married into the Hou Mansion, the old lady was the master and married a five-grade military attache surnamed Yuan.

Although the Yuan family is not a high-ranking family, its family style is very strict, and when he came to the Hou Mansion to ask for relatives, he promised that there would never be any other people in the room.

The old lady didn't have a bad feeling for this concubine, thinking that the Yuan family was also sincere, and the son of the Yuan family looked like he was magnificent, and his future should not be bad, and Xu Huiying could live a good life after getting married, so she nodded and agreed to this family matter.

Later, not long after Xu Huiying got married, her husband went to a border town.

After Xu Huiying went with her, she never came back.

Xu Yujian's understanding of this aunt who had never met only came from Jiang's occasional mention of such a few words, but there was nothing else.

If it was really Xu Huiying who came to the door this time......

I haven't been back to the capital for more than 20 years, Xu Huiying suddenly found her at this time, what is this for?

Although he had such doubts in his heart, Xu Yujian still asked Jin Nian to follow the mother-in-law to the second gate to pick up people.

About a quarter of an hour later, Jin Nian led a woman about forty years old into the house.

Xu Yu saw that the future person looked at it carefully.

The woman was dressed in a half-worn gown, which alone showed that the situation in her home was not very good, and she was obviously not badly dressed, and her black hair was pulled into a bun at will, and only a silver hairpin stood between her hair.

Xu Yujian's gaze finally fell on the woman's face.

Although these faces are not very young anymore, Xu Yujian can still see some shadows belonging to the old lady and Aunt Feng on her faces.

To put it this way......

Is this woman really the aunt she has never met?

With such a realization, Xu Yujian stood up.

And the woman, that is, Xu Huiying, saw that Xu Yu's face was also a little more cramped, she stood in place for a long time and couldn't say a word, until the maid in the house retreated after bringing tea and snacks, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"County, princess of the county, I, I ......" Xu Huiying also saw Xu Yujian for the first time, and she came this time for a purpose, so she didn't know what she was going to say for a while.

Xu Yu saw that he smiled at Xu Huiying, "You...... Is it the eldest aunt?"

Hearing Xu Yujian talk about her identity, Xu Huiying was also relieved, and hurriedly nodded: "You, princess of the county...... When you were born, I was far away, and I didn't have time to go back to the Hou Mansion, so I only asked people to send some gadgets back, and so many years have passed in a blink of an eye......"

Speaking of the past, Xu Huiying was more comfortable.

Xu Yujian hurriedly smiled and invited Xu Huiying to take a seat.

"My aunt has returned to Beijing this time, but has she gone back to the Hou Mansion to see the old lady and the old lady? Over the years, the old lady has also been thinking about the eldest aunt. Xu Yu said.

Hearing Xu Yujian mention the old lady and the old lady, Xu Huiying's expression darkened again.

Obviously, she has not returned to the Hou Mansion yet.

Shaking her head, Xu Huiying had a little embarrassment on her face, and said again after a while: "Sister Tian, I'm here this time...... There's something I want you to help with. ”
