The next day, Ma Xiuying wandered near the gate and spent the day worryingly, for fear that the young man next door would really send someone to listen to the answer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Fortunately, the boy was also interested, and he didn't really send anyone to discuss the ownership of the wall.

After a few days, Ma Xiuying gradually forgot about the troubles in the wall, but was summoned to the dining room by Zhang Tianyou during dinner in the evening.

"What did you ask her to do? The cook didn't know there would be one more person to eat tonight. Da Zhang glanced at Ma Xiuying dissatisfied.

Zhang Tianyou frowned slightly, usually the eldest sister didn't wait to see Ma Xiuying, he turned a blind eye and didn't say a word, today he asked Ma Xiuying to come over, the eldest sister still has this attitude, or doesn't show mercy to Ma Xiuying in front of her daughter-in-law, it can't help but make people feel that the eldest sister doesn't even give him face. He coughed, first ordered the servant to bring another pair of dishes and chopsticks, asked Ma Xiuying to sit down, and said to everyone: "I have something to say, this matter concerns everyone in the house." ”

"What's the matter?" Hearing Zhang Tianyou say something serious, everyone's eyes fell on him.

Zhang Tianyou Zhengse announced: "Tomorrow the neighbor next door will come to visit us, eldest sister, you must instruct the servants to make arrangements as soon as possible, so as not to lose the courtesy of our family." There are also people here in Jiangnan who are very particular about their behavior, and we must pay attention to the rules. Before I made a sound, the eldest sister didn't want to speak in front of people again. Especially you girls, you have to smile without showing your teeth and speak softly......"

Being counted down by his younger brother, Da Zhang was very unhappy, "It's just a neighbor, he comes and he comes, why do you have to work so hard? It's not to see the emperor Lao Tzu! I'm the head of the house, why can't I speak?"

Zhang Tianyou smiled mysteriously: "Eldest sister, don't be angry, I didn't mean to say you, it's just that the people here are all virtuous, and women are not allowed to show their heads, especially big families pay attention to these pedantic rules." Our next-door neighbor's surname is Yao, but he is a descendant of the famous Wu Xing Yao family, and he is one of the best in Cheung Chau. Originally, I was going to find a reason to pull the relationship, who would have thought that the other party would visit us first, this is a blessing that can't be begged for. Oh, by the way, I heard that Master Shen is coming too......"

Da Zhang's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about the rules of any big households, his whole body was full of fat and trembled, and his red and glamorous lips were turning up and down, "This feeling is good, last time Master Shen gave us a house as soon as he made a move, I don't know what valuable gifts he will bring this time." Hurry up, let the servants clean up and down the house, and see what else needs to be added. Buy what should be bought, flowers that should be spent, we must leave a good impression on the Yao family and the Shen family......"

Ma Xiuying gasped and suddenly felt like she was on pins and needles. No wonder the scenery on the other side of the wall cave is extraordinary, it is a big family.

It is said that it was Emperor Shun Yao Chonghua's 69th grandson, Yao Ping, the minister of the Western Han Dynasty, moved his family to Wuxing County to avoid war and protect the continuity of Emperor Shun's bloodline, and he was a real orthodox nobleman. His family has been ranked in the high gate in all dynasties, the eunuch position is glorious, the hairpin is endless, and has always had the reputation of "the first famous family", and even the emperor has to treat his people politely when he sees them.

Even if the Yao family next door is a branch of the Yao family, it is also a very remarkable family. It's just that such a prominent aristocratic family would succumb to visit their small family, Ma Xiuying was incredulous and felt that the other party was definitely not so simple as visiting. The sly smile of the young man in white suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, and she was more and more sure that the other party was a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to the chickens—not well-intentioned.

The others didn't have Ma Xiuying's worries, and they all felt that it was a great honor for the Yao family to visit.

Guo Tianxu and Guo Tianjue took the opportunity to propose not going to school tomorrow, and Da Zhang's agreed; Guo Daya and Guo Xiaoya proposed to add new clothes and jewelry, and Da Zhang's agreed; Ma Xiuying asked if he could avoid it tomorrow, and Da Zhang's roared, "It's really something that can't be put on the table, it's not my Guo family, can you see such a prominent family? Tomorrow, there will be no one in the mansion to be missing! I warn you in advance, when the time comes, you give me a little more dignity, if something goes wrong, you will look good!"

Ma Xiuying, who had stolen a few steamed buns, returned to Lin Yingyuan dejectedly, she had no way to stop the Yao family from visiting, and she didn't have the courage to play any tricks in front of everyone, so she could only comfort herself: the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and try not to give the young man a chance to tell him about digging a hole in the wall.

The next day, the Guo Mansion took on a new look, the ladies were dressed in fancy clothes, and even Ma Xiuying was powdered and curled up. Usually Da Zhang's will not take care of her, but with outsiders here, Da Zhang's must show how much he loves this righteous daughter.

Although they are next-door neighbors, the doors of the two families are open in different directions, and a few miles away, the Guo family is looking forward to it, and they wait for a stick of incense before they see the Yao family Shanshan appear.

Accompanying Yao Zhen, the master of the Yao family, was also Shen You, the master of the Shen family, who was originally from Huzhou and was a friend of the same village.

In the early years, the two families came to Changzhou from Huzhou to develop together, the Shen family bought land and made a fortune in business, and the Yao family held their own clan and did not want to do business, but only opened a few medical halls to save people. But this does not affect the friendship between the two families, so the two families live next to each other. However, Shen You's business became bigger and bigger, and the place could no longer meet his development, so he left the residence vacant after moving to Zhouzhuang, and then gave it to the Guo family.

One of the Shen family and the Yao family is a wealthy gentry, and the other is a famous family. To be honest, a small family like the Guo family is not up to grade at all in their eyes, which is why Shen You has not interacted much since he gave it to the Guo family's residence. Until now, Shen You didn't understand why the Yao family suddenly remembered to visit the Guo family and ask him to come forward as an intermediary.

Yao Zhenzhi is in his early forties, a few years older than Shen You, probably because he understands medical science, he looks younger than Shen You, if it weren't for the shallow fishtail marks in the corners of his eyes, others would definitely think that he was only about thirty. Although he is a little thin, he has a Chinese face that is not angry and arrogant, and his thick long eyebrows can't hide the sharp gaze in his eyes.

Yao Zhenzhi was already moody, his expression was very serious at the moment, and he didn't look like he was going to visit the Guo family at all, but like he was going to train people. It's no wonder that he was a little unhappy in his heart, a few days ago, his son Yao Tianxi didn't know what nerves he had, and he encouraged him to visit the Guo family.

What is there to visit in a small family, of course Yao Zhenzhi refused without thinking about it. Who knew that the son actually said in front of his wife that distant relatives were not as good as close neighbors, and that neighbors should move around more, and asked the boy of the Shen family to tell his wife about the rescue that day, which made his wife also interested in the family next door, and had to ask him to walk around with the other party. In desperation, he had no choice but to let his old friend Shen You connect him and have today's visit.

In addition to Shen You and Yao Zhenzhi, they were accompanied by their sons Shen Fu and Yao Tianxi.

The two graceful young men are just like the lotus boy in front of the Guanyin seat, with red lips and white teeth, skin like porcelain, long hair tied up by a golden crown fluttering with the wind, fluttering sleeves fluttering like butterflies dancing lightly, and the sun shines on the vigorous posture as if shrouded in the light of the gods, making people unable to take their eyes off.

The corners of Ma Xiuying's eyes twitched, she had already recognized that the young man who followed Shen Fu was the young man she met through the hole in the wall, and sure enough, the person who came was not good, she hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and silently thought in her heart: You don't recognize me, you don't recognize me!

When Zhang Tianyou and the others saw Yao Zhenzhi and Shen You, they hurriedly greeted them, their faces were full of smiles, and their mouths kept stammering: "The arrival of the two masters really makes the humble house shine! Hurry up, please come in! Originally, we should have visited your mansion first, but I didn't want the old man to come first, I was really ashamed." ”

Yao Zhenzhi and Shen You hummed lightly and introduced their son to everyone.

Seeing several people entering the mansion one after another, Ma Xiuying felt a burst of joy in her heart, her head hung so low, that Young Master Yao should not recognize herself.

Who knew that Shen Fu, who was left behind, actually walked up to her with Yao Tianxi, and said with a smile: "Tianxi, this is the heroine who saved me that day, Miss Ma." ”

A smile flashed in Yao Tianxi's eyes, and he said, "In Xia Yao Tianxi, I have long admired the name of Miss Ma." ”

Ma Xiuying didn't appreciate it, turned a blind eye to Yao Tianxi, and only said to Shen Fu: "It's my uncle who saved you, I'm not a heroine." ”

However, Yao Tianxi said to himself: "I heard that Miss Ma was injured by gangsters in order to save Xiaofu, and she is so heroic at such a young age, she is really a woman who does not let her eyebrows, no wonder she can do things that ordinary people dare not do." ”

Ma Xiuying heard that there was something in his words, and she was silent for a while, and quietly shrank a few steps behind Yuan Xing, trying to reduce her sense of existence.

Yuan Xing also recognized Yao Tianxi, and clenched his little fists nervously.

Shen Fu secretly wondered, didn't Tianxi hate dealing with outsiders, especially strange women, the most? Why did he take the initiative to say so much to Ma Xiuying today?

Zhang Tianyou and Da Zhang's didn't notice the episode here, they were busy greeting Master Shen and Master Yao, and the group humbly entered the Guo Mansion only to find that the children were still outside the mansion, Zhang Tianyou immediately went to call a few children into the mansion.

But seeing Guo Daya and Guo Xiaoya staring at Shen Fu and Yao Tianxu in a daze, Shen Fu and Yao Tianxu were talking about what they were talking about around Ma Xiuying, Ma Xiuying hid behind Yuan Xing in a covert manner, and Guo Tianxu and Guo Tianjue's fierce eyes fell on Shen Fu and Yao Tianxu for a while, and then fell on Yuan Xing.

This feeling is really indescribably weird, Zhang Tianyou coughed, and it was rare for Siwen to reply, "Two young masters, please go to the mansion first." Tianxu, bring your younger siblings in. ”

Ma Xiuying quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time took the initiative to run behind Da Zhang's to be a good lady. Who knew that after talking about a few words, Da Zhang's family retired first, leaving only Zhang Tianyou to entertain guests.

This is because of the social atmosphere at that time, women can't show their heads, Master Guo is not in the house, when the housewife shows her face on behalf of her husband's family, she just does her best to be hospitable, and if she stays any longer, she will be ridiculed. Didn't you see that Master Shen and Master Yao didn't bring their wife but just brought their son to visit.

Moreover, Zhang Tianyou had repeatedly reminded everyone yesterday that no matter how much the Da Zhang family tried to tie up the Yao and Shen families, they would not make the same mistake in etiquette again.

As soon as Da Zhang's left, Ma Xiuying couldn't wait to sneak out with him.

But seeing Shen Fu whispering a few words to his father, Shen You smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, let these children go and play by themselves for a while, this yard is familiar to Fu'er, don't worry about them, the three of us have a drink." ”

"Good, good. Zhang Tianyou waved his hand, and the melons and fruits were withdrawn and replaced with wine and food.

Ma Xiuyinglian moved lightly, and finally stepped out of the threshold of the living room, and was about to be free, when she suddenly heard Shen Fu's voice from behind, "Miss Ma, please take me and Tianxi around your mansion." ”
