Chapter Thirty-Eight: Uncle

When the group returned to Xue's house, Min Yuan asked them to go back to rest, and after a while, he left the house happily, completely ignoring the previous unhappiness. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The two sisters were on the way, but the atmosphere was indescribably silent, Yiying didn't want to make each other unhappy, so she didn't take a few steps before she excused herself to go to the garden, and let Yanhong go back first and separate from them around the corner.

Yi Chen only glanced at her when he heard this, then nodded and left.

Banyue couldn't help but wonder a little: "What's wrong with the eldest lady? Why are you angry with you? You are kind enough to help her, why does she still throw your face at you?"

Yi Ying hurriedly stopped her and said, "It's not that you're angry with me, it's just that she hasn't figured out some things yet, so she's not in a hurry." Having said that, she was still a little depressed in her heart, and she took a few breaths to get better.

There is a garden on the north side of the upper house, planted with flowers and plants, and a clear spring flows through it, and the source is a water pavilion with carved beams and paintings. Yi Ying simply took Half Moon into it to rest, and after a while, she remembered something and said, "Have you asked Yanhong, where did she go when she was at Zhang's house?"

Banyue heard this: "I asked, she just said that she saw a cousin at Zhang's house, chatted a few words and went back to the Baoxia Hall, but when she went, the ladies were gone, so she went back to the flower hall to find the eldest princess." ”

Yiying nodded, not paying much attention. She didn't want to follow Zhao Qingyi's old path, and for no reason it chilled the people around her.

The master and servant didn't say a word, then they saw Liushu coming from a distance, and when they saw the two of them here, they breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But I found the county lord, why didn't I go back with the eldest lady?"

Yiying invited her to sit down and said with a smile: "I just came out of my mother's place, why are you in a hurry to find me, is something wrong?"

Liushu smiled and shook her head: "It's a good thing." Several masters from the East Mansion have come over, and our lord and Aunt Feng are entertaining in the front hall, saying that they haven't seen the county lord yet, and they want to recognize it. ”

Yi Ying frowned and stood up: "Really?"

Liushu was also very happy and nodded with a smile.

It's great that Dongfu has expressed it so quickly. It seems that when she was in the Zhang family, Mrs. Cheng's maintenance was not a whim, are the two mansions going to break the ice?

She steadied herself and told herself to be calm. The two governments have not been in contact for such a long time, it makes no sense that she will suddenly change because she is alone, she is only an opportunity at most, and I am afraid there is still a long way to go if she wants to really remove the suspicion.

However, this did not affect her happy mood now.

She hurriedly followed Liushu to the antechamber of the outer courtyard.

As she walked, Liushu reminded, "...... The third lord over there in the East Mansion likes to be lively and sincere, and the fourth lord is loyal, that is, the eldest lord is more serious with the second old lady, and he also likes these nephews and nieces in his heart, the county lord can rest assured, just give a few uncles a gift generously......"

Yiying nodded and thanked him, and he knew it in his heart. The eldest lord Xue Wenjing and Xue Wentao are all her father's brothers, and they are the fourth lord Xue Wenli, who is also in charge of the Ministry of Industry under the control of her father, and the relationship should be good, and there is no reason to embarrass her.

Several people are officials of the imperial court, that is, the most idle third uncle Xue Wentao, and seven of the ten days stay in the Hanlin Courtyard to make an excerpt, and there are few opportunities to get together, presumably I also think that this is a good opportunity, so I came to the door in time.

It's just that Liushu didn't mention her uncle Feng Zhou, she didn't have much impression of this person in her previous life, and it wasn't until later when the Xue family had an accident that he was exposed to the scandal of a prostitute, which made her remember it, and I don't know what kind of face he was at this time.

She remembered that this Uncle Feng should now be in charge of the commission of Congqipin in the Zongren Mansion.

According to the etiquette system, a son-in-law cannot enter the office. However, in the later period of the emperor's reign, the dynasty was disordered, and the phenomenon of selling officials and lords emerged in endlessly, and her nominal grandfather, Xue Dada, the old lady Xue, was unwilling to be reconciled, so he found such an idle job for his son-in-law who only needed to copy documents and record archives.

After ascending the throne today, because Min Yuan got married, and the Zongren Mansion was also a place in charge of clan affairs, this position was not very tight, so he turned a blind eye to this matter and had the right to send him some food money.

"Sister Liushu, dare to ask what kind of person my uncle is?" she asked with a grin.

Liushu was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said with a smile: "My aunt is a very kind person, and he treats juniors very well. ”

Yi Ying nodded, and secretly said that this Uncle Feng seemed to be not only vague in her eyes, but also dispensable to other people in the Xue family.

When she arrived at the door of the front hall, she could hear the laughter of the man inside, she tidied up her clothes, and followed Liushu inside.

Everyone stopped talking, and looked at the little girl who half-bowed her head and saluted Xue Wen in a proper manner.

Xue Wenfu smiled and asked her to come forward, and pointed to the middle-aged man who was sitting on the right side, with a neat beard under his lower lip, and looked very upright: "This is your eldest uncle." ”

Xue Wenjing saw her holding her skirt and respectfully saluting and calling her eldest uncle, with a kind smile in her eyes, and said, "No need to be polite." He took a brocade box on the table and handed it to her: "This is a meeting gift, keep it." Maybe she wasn't good at words, but she didn't say a word, she took it with a smile, and didn't care, at least she could see the obvious kindness in his eyes.

Xue Wenfu pointed to the first man on the right who had shaved his beard cleanly and looked much younger than everyone else present: "...... This is your third uncle. ”

Xue Wentao couldn't sit still for a long time, if he wasn't really afraid of his two brothers, who were either upright or high-powered, how could he let him sit in one place for so long.

Seeing that it was finally his turn, he was a little overjoyed, looked at Yiying, and sighed: "Second brother, Ying's girl really looks like a sister-in-law, a beautiful embryo." ”

Yiying was a little surprised, so she heard Xue Wenjing reprimand unhappily: "Third child, you are an elder, what you say is not light or serious." ”

Xue Wentao snorted: "I don't look in the mirror every day, I don't think I'm that old, so I don't feel like an elder." ”

Yiying couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and the brothers either shook their heads helplessly, or laughed along with the field.

Xue Wentao took a long box and handed it to Yi Ying: "Ying girl, I heard that you are going to move to that Mu Xiting to live?"

Yi Ying smiled: "The third uncle is well-informed. ”

Xue Wentao seemed to have been praised, and said with a smile: "That's." Then he pointed to the box and said: "My four pearls should be a gift for you to move home, and when the time comes, these pearls will be inlaid on the eaves, reflecting the water waves...... Tsk, it's definitely pretty. ”
