The Lord Protector swaggered through the main hall in a blue crane, and as soon as he entered the main courtyard, a little girl came up quickly and swept the light snow off his shoulders and boots. When the Duchess of Huguo heard the movement, she also greeted her, held the handkerchief in her hand and hesitated and said: "Why is it rumored that the Xia family and our family are married? Grandpa Guo..."

The Protector was slightly stunned, and then laughed triumphantly. The Duchess of Huguo's face sank, hurriedly took a step back, covered her nose and said, "Have you drunk?

As soon as the Protector was about to speak, a wine burp came up, and he was so smoked that he retreated, fanning the wine while saying with an inviting smile: "I did this matter, master." He turned his head to look at Dangui and said, "Hurry up and bring me a cup of strong tea." Ye is happy today, this family business, Ye did it beautifully. ”

The Duchess of the Protector looked at her husband blankly, as if she didn't know him for a long time, and then slowly exhaled.

The Protector leaned back on the chair, pulled the collar of his middle coat, and the maid came over to take off his crane, and then took a big sip of tea on the hand of Dangui, and then smiled happily: "Didn't you say that the girl's father was a poor scholar? He likes to play chess, and I played with him for more than a month, so that he didn't even want to go home. ”

Only then did the Duchess of the Protector come back to her senses, pinched the handkerchief and covered her nose and asked, "The letter of appointment you are going to give today?"

The Protector was interrupted by her, and was stunned before saying, "No." Sort of. The letter of appointment was issued today, and the matter was discussed a few days in advance. I've been working so hard these days, and I've almost told you a few times. It's not a sister-in-law......"

The Duchess of the Protector frowned. I couldn't help but interrupt him again and asked, "Which sister-in-law?" but I couldn't help but hate in my heart, "No wonder! How could he, such a fool who couldn't see the height of his eyebrows, do such a thing? It turned out that it was Chen's family stirrger who gave him the idea. ”

The Protector was separated again, so he waved his hand a little angrily and said, "Don't interject. ”

The Duchess of the Protector sat aside angrily and said hatefully: "Okay, okay, you speak slowly." ”

Only then did the Protector continue proudly: "You said that Mrs. Xia is so difficult and difficult to get along with. I'll see you earlier. He was a very kind, intelligent man. Brother Xia always loses, and Sister-in-law Xia only gives a little pointer. I will not be able to defeat my army. Later, I didn't believe in evil and invited Brother Xia to deal with her together, but neither of us was her opponent. ”

The Protector rubbed his hands. Smacked his lips and said, "Brother Xia is also strange." guarded such a daughter-in-law, and went out to find someone to play chess. Strange or not, you say?"

Duchess Guo gritted her teeth and snorted coldly, thinking, "You two can't get any of her, and you're embarrassed to come out and say it." At least you know how to go out and find someone of the same level to play, you keep losing, you keep losing, do you have a lot of fun?"

Huguo Gong took the strong tea in Dangui's hand, and said angrily: "I ask you, why shouldn't you always be!?" It was so bitter that he was clever, and the wine was really sober for the most part.

Over there. The anger that the Duchess suppressed suddenly came up: "Didn't you just tell me not to interject?"

The Protector was stunned for a moment, and said curtly: "Isn't this drinking too much? Three days ago, our brothers and I discussed it properly, and we waited for Yu'er's good news. As he spoke, he spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's also a shame that Yu'er is fighting for energy, and he doesn't lack arms, and many legs come back alive." ”

The Duchess stood up angrily on the table, only to feel that there was nowhere to vent her anger, so she stared at the Duke of the Protector with a pair of eyes.

The Protector still didn't know, and muttered to himself: "The Xia family came out of the countryside, and the family is no matter how simple and simple people are, and they don't doubt my identity at all. I heard that his daughter married Jin Lan with the county, so he pestered Xia Xiucai to worship, and the Wang Daochang of Changchun Guan personally presided over it to us, and now we have made a blood alliance and are brothers who share weal and woe. ”

When the Duchess heard this, she couldn't help but sit down on the chair in a daze, her mind was originally chaotic, and she suddenly remembered something again, and struggled to hold on to the table and asked, "You went out to drink with people today, didn't... Yes... Let's talk about it. ”

Grandpa Guo turned his face blank, looked at his wife in surprise, and sneered: "Wealth does not return to the hometown, like brocade clothes at night." ”

The Duchess felt like the head of the candle, which suddenly burned to the end, but in a moment, there was no light in front of her.

Liu Huanhuan was terrified when she listened from the sidelines, looked at the pale face of the Duchess Guo, and couldn't help asking: "Grandpa Guo, why are you bothering so much about this." ”

The last trace of clarity aroused by the strong tea has faded, and he leaned on the chair and muttered: "I haven't seen your wife worry every day, and I was so angry with Yu'er's stinky boy that I couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well......

Liu Huanhuan dared to interject again, and glanced at Dangui, and Dangui called a few small servants and rough mothers-in-law to come in, and dragged the tall and tall protector on the couch.

Duchess Guo didn't know whether to be angry or sad, so she only stroked her forehead and said lazily: "You all go out, let me be alone for a while." ”

Liu Huanhuan walked out lightly, thinking: "Madame's wisdom in this life is over, Ming'er is afraid that it will spread all over the capital, and it will have to be half a year, and Madame has no face to go out to socialize." ”

After the New Year, the Duchess of Huguo has unsurprisingly become a major topic in the capital, and those who go to each other to visit relatives for the New Year have to chew a few words of tongue.

"Have you heard, the stepwife of the Xue family went to the Xia family to propose, but was rejected three times and twice. In the end, Mrs. Xia directly said that her stepmother was unkind, and the Xue family actually asked the men in the family to go out and stutter with a shy face, and she insisted that it was a family affair. ”

"Where do you know that the family background is not obvious, it turned out to be a banker. ”

"Not only is the family background not obvious, I heard people say that the girl is not in good health and cannot give birth. ”

"Alas, it's really pitiful for a motherless child, look at Xue Shizi's ability, this family thing said. In the end, it is a farmer, I don't know how powerful, such a soft and weak girl, alas. ”

"It's not that the Xue family is rich. ”

"You are wrong, the Xia family has backbone, but they can't stand the obsession. ”

"That's right, I heard that it was Grandpa Guo who worshiped the girl's father, and patted his chest to promise to treat your girl well. ”

"What's the use of that, it's not up to the housewife to say when you enter the inner house. If you want me to say, I'm afraid that Miss Xia won't live long. ”

When the New Year came, the Duchess of the Protector was simply a model of a green-faced and fanged stepmother. The Duchess of Huguo didn't go out much throughout the New Year, and when she encountered the entertainment that she had to go, she had to admit it: "Isn't it that Miss Xia is smart and virtuous, so I gave up my old face and went to their house to ask for marriage again and again." It's finally satisfying. The ladies squinted at her and laughed, so that she was about to vomit blood.

He fell ill after the New Year, and Xue Yu also returned to the capital at that time, and went to Xia's house as soon as he came out of the palace. This time, the little guy guarding the door did not intimately lead him into the courtyard of Director Xiaoyu, but directly brought him into the main hall, Mrs. Xia swept away the coldness of the past, and said with a smile: "This road is good." ”

And Xia Xiucai, who was usually amiable to him, was very unkind when he saw it, especially when he saw the joy that Xue Yu's eyebrows couldn't hide from the corners of his eyes, he couldn't help but sneer: "It turns out that your father's name is Wei Qing." ”

Xue Yu didn't know why, touched the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "Yes, my father highly admired Wei Qing, the great general of the Han Dynasty, so he used the homophonic expression." Summer ......"

Xia Xiucai said coldly: "Virtuous nephew, your father worshiped me, and you will call me Uncle Shi in the future." ”

Xue Yu hurriedly said: "Uncle Shi, my little nephew heard that Miss Xia is not in good health, so she came back this time and specially found some deer antler velvet and ginseng from Beihan. Auntie, you can't see it. ”

Mrs. Xia smiled gently: "It's rare for you to have such a heart. It's freezing over there, and you're still thinking about her. I've heard that this battle is not going to be easy. ”

Xue Yu hurriedly cheered up and was ready to show off his martial arts.

It's a pity that before he could start, Xia Xiucai had already reprimanded with a straight face: "The virtuous nephew hasn't gone home yet, right? As he spoke, he served tea and sent it off, but poor Xue Yu didn't know that he had offended the future Taishan, and led Dong'an to the Guogong Mansion with his head down.

Dong'an lowered his head and walked for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Lord Shizi, you say, we are not dreaming." ”

One sentence frightened Xue Yu, squinted his eyes and glanced at him very fiercely, before he said: "I'll beat you, if you feel pain, it's not a dream." ”

Dong An hurriedly laughed and said, "Aren't I unsure? I didn't expect the end ...... It turned out that the old man came so suddenly. Dong An couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, so he sighed on the side.

Xue Yu thought about it: "There is Na Cai, Naji, ask the date, alas, I don't know what day the Xia family can book." Don't go too far, isn't Xiaoyu as happy as me? In the future, if I hold her again, she won't ...... Hmm, Xiaoyu's waist is so thin...."

Dong'an was about to ask him about the house, but when he turned around, he saw that General Xue didn't know what he was thinking about, his face was very tight, and Dong'an hurriedly swallowed the words on his lips.

Xiaoyu was wearing a beige round-necked robe with fur edges, crossed Erlang's legs, shook the sheepskin boots on his feet, and sat leisurely in the private room of the teahouse. While drinking tea, while looking at the people coming and going in the inn opposite, Wen Niang pointed to a man on horseback and said, "Oh, that's Second Master Lu." ”

Second Master Lu once visited Mrs. Xia during the New Year, and Xiaoyu's brothers came out to see each other. Xiaoyu was sick for a few days according to Mrs. Xia's wishes and did not come out. Xiaoyu's curiosity soared to the peak all of a sudden, and she slipped out with Wen Niang after packing up. (To be continued......)
