Chu Xianzhao replied with a smile: "I don't know anything about the way of businessmen, and the way of being an official is also the way, this time, in addition to Sister Huayu taking me back, my father's student Lord Lu Qi will also take care of me, and he will tell me what to do." ”

Gao's eyes were strange and said, "Lu Qi, you still know that Hubu squire?"

Everyone was very curious about how Chu Xianzhao asked Shen Taisui to find him in a haystack, and even let him connect with the people in the imperial court, but it didn't seem that he was going to take over the Shen family's business house, what did he want this child to do in Sunset City?

"Auntie really wants to know why your hair is gray at such a young age, is it because you are tired. Seeing that my aunt is very distressed?"

Since Gao asked the beginning, now there is a noblewoman in gorgeous clothes who is often called a fox by Shen Taisui in private, stretching out her slender jade finger and pointing at Chu Xianzhao's head, her voice is tender to the point of sweetness.

Chu Xianzhao said cautiously: "What should I call you?"

"How pitiful it is for the child to have no mother since he was a child, if you are willing, it is not impossible to call me a mother. The foxy lady covered her plump breasts and smiled.

"Bah, you don't want to be ashamed, we still have face, do you have such a casual recognition of your son?" a lady in a green dress screamed with round eyes.

"The lord wrote very clearly in the letter, he wants us to take care of him as his own son, is there anything wrong with him calling me a mother, if you are envious, you have the ability to give birth to one. The foxy lady said happily.

"You really can't change eating. ”

"Who are you scolding for being a, you have the ability to say it again!"

The eldest lady's voice was full of majesty: "Shut up for me both of you bitches, if you want to quarrel again, if you quarrel to death, I will collect the corpse for you!"

Chu Xianzhao held back a smile, watching the two noble ladies snort and close their mouths, the eldest lady waited for Chu Xianzhao to finish drinking tea, poured him another cup, and asked, "By the way, why is your hair white, was it born like this, or did you dye it yourself?"

"When I go back to the eldest lady, my mother's hair is also white, and my hair color and appearance are all with hers. ”

"White-haired man...... I heard that the royal family of Shuyue seems to have white hair, what does your mother have to do with the Shuyue royal family?"

"Back to the words of the eldest lady, I heard my mother say that her grandfather was a county king of Shuyue, and I should have a little blood of the Shuyue royal family, and it is not surprising that my head is snow-white. ”

Chu Xianzhao made up the story along the topic, fortunately, a royal family from the Shantai came out to support the scene, he couldn't tell the eldest lady that the royal breath in his body was lost and his hair was snow-white, which would frighten people.

A noble lady asked curiously, "Then your gray hair has something to do with your mother, but what's the matter with your eyes, which are actually purple?"

"Hey, by you

So, it seems that his eyes are really purple, child, don't you always squint at us, open your eyes wide for us to see?"

"I heard that the eyes of the prince of Yinguo, who ran away from marriage and went abroad, seem to be purple......"

Chu Xianzhao suddenly didn't know how to answer a series of questions, and the eldest lady coldly put the cup in front of Chu Xianzhao, and everyone was immediately silent, not daring to ask any more, for fear that the eldest lady would be angry and not let go of herself.

Compared with the old man Shen who is as happy as Maitreya Buddha, what they are most afraid of is this dignified lady like Guanyin Bodhisattva, no matter how high they are like to make waves, they can't fight her Wuzhi Mountain.

"Tang Huang, the women here in the manor are the same one in front and one in the back, most of them are goods that can only sleep for men, and they have no other skills, if any of them dare to bully you behind your back, come and tell me, I will not be able to bypass her!" said the eldest lady in an accentuated tone.

Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but smile: "Mrs. Xie is very loving, and Mrs. Sun and the third lady are very good to me. ”

The eldest lady nodded, and the Gao family looked at them as if they were watching a good show, she at first thought that the eldest lady summoned him as soon as Chu Xianzhao entered the Shen mansion, and wanted to beat him through conversation, suppress his arrogance, and let him understand that his identity in the Shen family was no better than that of a maid, but now it sounds like she really treats Chu Xianzhao as a junior, and Chu Xianzhao can't feel such a thing as arrogance, her tone is still polite and straightforward, and her appearance can be called handsome, but the white hair and purple eyes are a little eye-catching, and her whole body exudes an aura that she can't see, Mrs. Fangcai's last sentence was to indirectly tell the child that she had accepted the existence of his illegitimate child.

The eldest lady blinked her eyes and asked, "The lord said in the letter that your swordsmanship is superior and comparable to that of the grandmaster, is this true?"

Chu Xianzhao smiled bitterly and said, "I don't dare to nod if you say something like this, big lady. ”

"The master has always been a mouthful of spit and a pit, and he will never praise a person too much, the Shen family is rich and rivals the country, and any thing in the manor is worth a thousand gold, and there are often thieves who turn into the manor to steal things, this personal guard Xie Feng next to me, is known as a sword to break the long wind, there are dozens of thieves who have died in his hands over the years, and there has never been a fish that has slipped through the net and stolen something to leave, I don't know the swordsmanship of the two of you, who is more powerful?"

The eldest lady pointed to the burly man with dark cheeks, this person's face was also very dark, Chu Xianzhao didn't notice him as soon as he came in, and now when he smiled at himself, he saw the white dangling teeth.

"If the young master wants to learn swordsmanship, Xie Feng will accompany him at any time. The man clenched his fists and laughed.

Chu Xianzhao said: "Next time, next time, I will definitely find you to test your swordsmanship." ”

The eldest lady rubbed her eyebrows, it seemed that today's conversation had come to an end, and her voice was a little tired: "Since the master praised your swordsmanship, I think."

You can protect yourself in Sunset City, and I won't arrange it for you, but there are other things I can give you. ”

"In early summer, if you want to see what your brother looks like, come out and see, hide aside and sneak around, what do you say?"

In the early summer, Chu Xianzhao looked at the eldest lady in front of him in confusion, only to hear the sound of the bead curtain shaking, and the hand that was as white as fat stretched out the bead curtain, and then there was a gentle footstep, and a graceful girl stood in front of him.

Chu Xianzhao couldn't see her face clearly, her sideburns slid to the side of her face, successfully covering half of her face, making Chu Xianzhao feel that the hair was like a turtle shell covering her head.

"Hello auntie, hello aunts. ”

The girl finally raised her head after saluting the eldest lady, this is a very beautiful and clean girl, there is a little coldness between her eyebrows, not that she is as cold and beautiful as an iceberg beauty, but there is a feeling of some resistance to the things around her, not at all like Shen Huayu's cute feeling of bouncing, such a look appears on a wealthy woman, it is really a little strange.

The eldest lady took a sip of the teacup, and said indifferently: "Help your brother prepare a few sets of suitable clothes, and let the next person clean up his room, and he will live here in the future." ”

Only then did the girl dare to boldly look at Chu Xianzhao's face, the coldness between her eyebrows gradually disappeared, her expression was a little excited, a little hesitant, and wanted to say something to Chu Xianzhao, but she subconsciously took half a step back, and after tidying up her clothes, she gave herself a slight blessing.

Brother?

Now that there is a large group of mothers and Shen Huayu, the fake sister, and now there is another sister, the corners of Chu Xianzhao's mouth twitched slightly, and he hurriedly reached out to help her arm, and said, "Sister, my name is Tang Huang, no need to be polite." ”

"My name is Shen Chuxia...... girl's voice was as thin as a mosquito's chirp, and seeing that Chu Xianzhao was a little confused, she hurriedly explained: "In early summer, my mother gave birth to me in early summer, so I will be called early summer." ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled slightly: "I see. ”

The eldest lady said: "Her mother died a few years ago, she was smart and clever in early summer, and she knew how to help me write accounts when she was very young, and we have been trying to marry her off for the past two years, but we have not found a suitable family, and she is a little reluctant, so she has been staying here in the manor, she is almost twenty years old this year, and it should be right to call your brother, right?"

"Hmmm......"

Chu Xianzhao looked at her from head to toe, and when he looked at Shen Chuxia's face, he found that her eyes were very clean, and there was a faint smile in them, as if Su Changyan was looking at his gaze.

"Tang Huang will move in in the future, he is your younger brother, you have to take care of him a little more, Huayu that girl always likes to bounce I don't worry, he came to take care of her, and everyone else is the same. ”

She told Shen Chuxia in an unquestionable tone,

Once again, she put on the courage of the number one lady of the Shen family, and it is this kind of courage that allows her to govern the entire Shen family obediently when Shen Taisui is not in Luoyang City, and the Gao family next to her listens to the arrangement of the eldest lady, she is not as good as this eldest lady in terms of wrists, and she can only sigh to herself that the two daughters born in the wheel are not as good as the two daughters of the eldest lady, and the two daughters will cause trouble for her.

After the death of the sixth lady, Shen Chuxia has always been taken by the eldest lady, two years ago I heard that she fell in love with a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, and wanted to wait for him to stay with her for life after the title of the gold list, but the man just took a fancy to the silver in her hand, and after cheating her of these accumulations, he evaporated and smashed the sun, crying Shen Chuxia was so miserable that she wanted to use her connections to catch the bastard and beat him to death in front of Shen Chuxia, but Shen Chuxia's daughter still interceded for the man, saying that the two of them would not see each other in the future, and she could only hope that the child could ease up as soon as possible。

Now after the lord sent a letter to Luoyang, he told her that his illegitimate son would soon follow Shen Huayu back to Luoyang, and let them take good care of him, Shen Chuxia heard that he suddenly had a younger brother, and his mood gradually improved, and he did not have the depressed appearance before, so the eldest lady not only did not feel embarrassed in the face of Chu Xianzhao, but was very grateful for his arrival.

The eldest lady asked, "These eyes are so beautiful, and your mother gave them to you?"

After Chu Xianzhao nodded, he stood up and bowed to the eldest lady to the end, the eldest lady gently grabbed his arm, deliberately narrowed the distance between him and said: "Since you are still a member of the Shen family, there is nothing wrong with calling me the eldest lady in front of outsiders, in private, I allow you to call me eldest lady like they did in early summer." ”

"Yes...... Ma'am. ”

The eldest lady's smile was still gentle, and she said: "Tang Huang, since we have gone home, we are a family, and you will live here in the manor in the future, so you must adapt to it as soon as possible." ”

Chu Xianzhao's face was calm and said, "I know." ”

The eldest lady looked at the bewitching women around her and asked, "Do you sisters have any opinions?"

"It's all up to the eldest sister. It was rare for them to say in unison, but Gao's voice was a little indifferent: "Since it is the master's biological son, we naturally don't dare to have any opinions." ”

The eldest lady slowly took out a card glowing with golden light from her arms, handed it to Chu Xianzhao and said: "This gold card is stamped with the seal of the South China Chamber of Commerce, and it is opened with my identity, you can use this card to buy things at will in Luoyang City, and the account will be counted on my head at that time." No matter how you spend your money, this money will eventually go into our Shen family's purse, so you can use it with confidence. I don't know what the lord asked you to come to Luoyang for, but we won't let you contact the affairs of the business house for the time being, I know you have your own things to do, but you just don't want to tell us, about your future, I still have some things to ask the lord in person, waiting for him to nod

I can rest assured that you can do it, and you don't have to worry about these things, until you get familiar with the people and things in this city. You are the only son of our master, so I will not treat you as an illegitimate outsider, say one thing in front of you and say another thing behind my back, I hope that one day you can take over the burden of the Shen family like my lord, then I will rest assured. ”

Even if the calm Qi is like Gao's family, it is difficult to maintain calm at this time, accepting this illegitimate child is still a doomed thing, and it is too surprising, otherwise the lord will not let him come to Luoyang City, what really makes her care is the attitude of the eldest lady, Shen Sanqian is not in Luoyang City all the year round, and the person who really holds great power in the family is her, but since she has a superficial attitude, then even if she doesn't like this illegitimate child anymore, she can't embarrass him.

Chu Xianzhao held the gold card with body temperature, gently stuffed it into his arms, did not thank Dai Xie like a subordinate who was rewarded, nodded slightly, and opened his eyes that had been squinting by the way.

At this moment, these extremely rare purple eyes were visible to everyone, and his image slowly brightened up in their hearts, and he could even hear the sound of the ladies gasping.

After Chu Xianzhao and Shen Chuxia left, the Gao family frowned and leaned over to the eldest lady and said, "Eldest sister, you just gave him that gold card? Admit that he is from the Shen family so quickly, it is inevitably too cheap for him, right?"

The eldest lady glanced at the Gao family, who had always been unkind to others, shook her head and said: "How dare I slack off on the son that Lao Shen personally admitted, maybe in another ten years, I, an old woman, will have to call him the head of the family." Anyway, let's wait and see, I think this child is definitely not a frog at the bottom of a carp well in the pond. ”

Gao Shi was very unimpressed by her words, but he couldn't even say anything to refute them.

——

In this way, Chu Xianzhao moved into the Shen family manor, which can be regarded as a work under the eaves, this roof can not only shelter himself from the wind and rain, but even allow him to stand on a higher place overlooking Sunset City.

Chu Xianzhao stuffed the gold card given to him by the eldest lady in his pocket, and knew very well that the accounts on this card were not for him to squander at will, and every account he owed to this family was remembered by Shen Taisui in his heart.

The gentle woman named Shen Chuxia in front of her led Chu Xianzhao back to the small courtyard just now, Shen Huayu had been waiting here for a long time, and after seeing Chu Xianzhao and Shen Chuxia, she threw herself into Shen Chuxia's arms, and the six sisters and six sisters kept shouting.

The eyebrows and eyes of the two sisters look very similar, except for the appearance of their mothers, the two sisters are whispering something, Chu Xianzhao is embarrassed to listen, but I don't know what Shen Huayu asked, Shen Chuxia wiped his tears on his sleeve with red eyes, and then Shen Huayu said viciously Sixth sister, I told you that the man is unreliable, if he sees him by this woman, he will definitely break his two dog legs and the third leg.

At night, the sky is full of stars, and the moonlight spills into the courtyard through the gaps between the glazed tiles.

Mrs. Sun personally summoned Chu Xuan to eat hot pot, and let the next person walk into the courtyard with a few food boxes, at this time it is the beginning of winter, the light snow is full of sunset, and the city likes to eat mutton hot pot and dumpling noodles regardless of whether they are rich or poor, cheap and delicious and warm the stomach, the copper plate has the best hand-cut black mutton outside the city, ginger and green onion dipping sauce, and the charcoal fire under the copper stove is very strong, and the faces of several women shine warm and pleasant.

After taking a bath, Chu Xianzhao changed into a casual suit, sat under the courtyard and looked at the snow scene in the distance, even though the aroma of the hot pot in front of him was overflowing, there was no snow scene to attract him.

The mahogany food box contained all kinds of ingredients, the mutton soup in the copper pot was boiling, the warm steam was faintly rising, and the boiling sound of mutton soup was left in his ears, and he felt that the scene in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar.

In the courtyard, only the four of them were eating mutton hot pot around a table, Shen Huayu still had that cute face and poured wine for herself, but the woman named Shen Chuxia was not as open as her sister, Chu Xianzhao gave a casual look, which always made her a little ashamed, not as intellectual and generous as she was in front of the eldest lady before, and it was estimated that her purple eyes were too scary.

When I was a child, I secretly ran out of the palace to play, and was beckoned by a lame fortune teller to go over and calculate a hexagram, and finally pointed to my eyes and said that I had the luck of the emperor, with ghosts and gods in my eyes, and my angry eyes could be turned away from demons.

Whether to retreat or not, the demon Chu instantaneously doesn't know, anyway, it's true that everyone doesn't dare to look him in the eyes.

There are servants who come to the bench and put it in the courtyard, a square table and two benches, Shen Huayu wants to sit next to Chu Xian, and the elder brother is called very happy, Shen Chuxia always faces himself with a slight open mouth, and looks like he wants to speak and stops.

Mrs. Sun picked up the chopsticks and pinched a piece of steaming mutton and put it into Chu Xuanzhao's bowl, "Come, Tang Huang, we will be a family in the future, you have to take care of your sisters and sisters, after all, you are the only man in the Shen family now." ”

"Thank you, auntie. ”

Mrs. Sun bent her eyebrows and said: "I heard that Huayu said that you encountered a robbership on the road, it was you who rescued my daughter, I should have thanked you for sending you something, the eldest lady gave you her gold card, if you send silver, it is not necessary, I am reluctant to send you a boy who does not need jewelry, so I have to invite you to have a meal, don't dislike my aunt and slam the door." ”

"The grace of a meal should be remembered. ”

Shen Huayu dismantled the stage very invisibly and said: "Mother, you are really picky, you want to buy people's hearts with a meal." ”

Mrs. Sun knocked her daughter on the head, "There are so many delicious foods that can't stop your mouth, eat quickly and talk less." ”

Shen Chuxia's lips pursed and smiled secretly, but he still looked timid, not daring to look directly into Chu Xianzhao's eyes.

"Come, Tang Huang, we will be a family in the future, you have to take care of your sisters and sisters, after all, you are the only man in the Shen family now. ”

Chu Xianzhao said happily: "Thank you, auntie." ”
