Mrs. Sun accompanied Chu Xianzhao for a while, and whispered some precautions in the house, and then watched him disappear at the gate.

The girl who led the way for Chu Xianzhao was beautiful, walked in front with her head down, and led him all the way through the hall and corridor, walking through the flowers and trees.

Although the Shen family's manor is very large, it is still a place with a sesame point compared to the Dayin Palace, even so, Chu Xianzhao still feels that he has walked for a long time, perhaps because he is in a strange place.

When Chu Xianzhao looked at the scenery around the manor, the little maid couldn't help but turn her head to look at his face, accidentally bumped into the pillar in front of her, covered her little head in pain, and looked at Chu Xianzhao pitifully.

Chu Xianzhao stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, and couldn't help but quip: "Is there gold or silver on this ground, walking with your head so low, you bumped into it now." ”

The little maid looked at her master's illegitimate son, and said timidly: "There are many rules in the manor, not every lady is as good at talking as Mrs. Sun, young master must be careful." ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling that the palace maids in the Dayin Palace were not as cautious as this little girl, Shen Taisui was far away as the governor of Guhe City, but the foundation of the Shen family was still in Luoyang City, and the power of the family naturally fell into the hands of his wife, who was the eldest lady in Shen Huayu's mouth.

He looked at this lovely maid who had not yet developed, but his head was thinking about the strange woman who claimed to want to see him, and by the way, he remembered the labyrinthine aisle gate of the Shen family's manor in his mind, since this place has temporarily become his place of residence, he must know more about the customs and customs here.

"Yo, you're the bastard son of the master, right? You dare to do something to the maid just now, and you're very bold!"

The maid knelt on the ground in a hurry, Chu Xianzhao looked at the woman who came a little unexpectedly, like Shen Huayu's mother, Mrs. Sun, the noble lady in front of her was the third wife and concubine of Shen Taisui in the mansion, and her age should be in her thirties, and she could vaguely see the beautiful traces left back then, but her face was not extravagant, and her eyes looked at Chu Xianzhao coldly.

Chu Xianzhao was stunned for a moment, only to hear the little maid say in a mosquito chirping voice: "Young master...... She is the third lady of the lord. ”

Facing her face that had no Fu Lu or noble, out of politeness, Chu Xianzhao still bowed his hand and said, "In Xia Tang Huang, I have seen the third lady. ”

The third lady Gao's tone was far worse than that of Mrs. Sun, and she said coldly and directly: "The eldest lady and other ladies want to come to see you, I was worried that Sun Li's fox spirit would lose her words, so I came to see you." Your appearance is an uproar for our Shen family, but since you are here, we have to do something for our Shen family, but before that, let me take you to meet the eldest lady and them. ”

She waved her hand to rebuke the maid, and then took Chu Instant to the higher part of the manor, and was privately called by the maid

"Resentful woman" Gao's family, at this time, a resentment emerged from the bottom of her heart, she has always been quick to do things, and she is used to grasping the situation in front of her, and she began to feel out of control.

Among Shen Taisui's seven wives, Gao's is the woman who wants to give him a son the most, but after all, he still failed to give Shen Taisui the desire to inherit the ancestry, and the two daughters born are not successful, and they will only care about her asking for money all day long, and now they have become widows, and they are even more amorous, unlike the eldest and second who marry as wives and live with peace of mind, and they don't want the fourth child to be so competitive as a female official in the Daqing court.

The family behind her is not very powerful in Luoyang City, just a caged bird raised in the manor by Shen Taisui, unlike the eldest lady who occupies half of the voice in the family, and even the people of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce have respect for her.

The young man who was as white as snow next to him was actually the illegitimate son of his own master, it was impossible to say that she didn't have a little sour in her heart, Shen Taisui had so many wives who could pass on the lineage for him, and the child's mother actually gave birth to a child with a handle for Shen Sanqian, although he didn't have the surname Shen Sanqian, but after all, it was also the bloodline that he personally admitted, even if they were unhappy, they had to endure it.

The appearance of this young man was so sudden, which caught each of them off guard, although the impression looked okay, but if he wanted his son to inherit his father's business and inherit the Shen family's business, I am afraid that he would be a little tender, even if the eldest lady asked her to come to him, she did not plan to put this illegitimate child in her eyes.

Looking at the back of this noble lady, Chu Xianzhao felt more and more uneasy, and could only act hard to see the opportunity, feeling that the women in this manor were so yin and yang when they spoke.

Gao took him to a simple and quiet courtyard, where there were still footprints left by the maid on the snow, red sleeping winter plums could be seen everywhere, and there were some precious flowers and plants that only the southern continent could not call.

This courtyard feels as peaceful as a Buddhist hall, and not far away, a beaded curtain that exudes the atmosphere of wealth wafts out of the warm fragrance.

Soon, a maid of the same age as Chu Xianzhao walked out from behind the bead curtain, and after saluting the Gao family, she respectfully invited the two in.

Chu Xianzhao tried his best to be dignified this time, he didn't look around, he just felt that the breath in this courtyard was very cold, and the coolness slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.

After he followed Gao into the inner hall, he found that there was a room of gorgeous ladies sitting here, as if someone had handed a handful of delicate peonies stained with rain and dew in front of him, and several of them looked at him with burning eyes, as if they wanted to drill a hole in him, and some people even regarded themselves as nothing, absentmindedly playing with the jade bracelet in their hands, and there were several burly guards standing in the corner.

Chu Xianzhao slowly felt the qi in their bodies, and found that they were really Lian Jiazi, and the aura of one of them could even be comparable to Shen Sanqian's personal guard Guo Longbow, and all of them had a broken sword

The ability of the top ten.

While Chu Xianzhao felt their qi, they were also exploring the qi in Chu Xianzhao's body, and he released the qi machine intentionally or unintentionally, as a greeting gift.

A few powerful guards who did not move like a mountain, a beautiful lady with burning eyes all over the room, and a dignified lady in the middle position, looked at themselves more like an elder looking at a junior, this Shen family manor could be said to make Chu Xianzhao vigilant.

Chu Xuanzhao also found that a certain guard with two knives around his waist was eye-browing with a lady intentionally or unintentionally, and that scorching gaze was definitely not the look that a subordinate should have when looking at his master, this kind of thing is very common among high-ranking families.

It seems that Shen Taisui is no longer in Luoyang City these days, a certain canary who was locked in a cage by him may have already come out of the wall with a red apricot and lightly put a green hat on his head, Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but think secretly.

"Sit down, kid. ”

The eldest lady in the middle of the position, Zhang Yan, coughed lightly, and politely asked Chu Xianzhao to sit on the chair in the middle of the hall, her expression was not as relaxed and harmonious as Mrs. Sun, nor was she as lukewarm as the third lady, she could only say that her expression was calm, but under this calm look, there was a deep scrutiny, which made Chu Xianzhao a little uncomfortable.

After Chu instantaneously thanked him, he sat down a little stiffly, and a cold sweat began to break out on his back.

The women in this room were all looking at this young man who had been born early, and whispers began to appear in the hall, and even the Gao family looked at Chu Xianzhao again, but there was still no good face, and he didn't understand why Chu Xianzhao was less than twenty years old, and his hair was as white as snow, and how he met Shen Taisui and finally asked Shen Huayu to bring him to Luoyang, but he was still the illegitimate child that Shen Taisui personally wrote a letter to admit, and this trace could not be faked, so she didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, it was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard, because no one in the room spoke, Chu Xianzhao could only sit quietly and practice dumb meditation, looking at each of them with a calm demeanor.

Everyone was looking at him, Chu Xianzhao also looked at each of them, the dignified and gentle lady in the middle should be the so-called eldest lady Zhang Yan, she has a wooden hairpin on her head, and her clothes are so clean that she looks a little out of place with other noblewomen, compared to other noblewomen, her appearance can only be regarded as ordinary, but inadvertently there is a trace of majesty, which makes people feel that she is the person who sits in charge of the overall situation at a glance, and makes herself feel an aura similar to Chu Xiaohua from her.

There is no shortage of ladies here who make men unable to take their eyes off at a glance, looking at Chu Xianzhao's eyes with some indescribable taste, biting his lower lip, his eyes are moving, not like the eyes of the elders looking at the juniors.

Only then did Chu Xianzhao see that some of them were not much older than him, and at the age of thirty like wolves and forty tigers, a handsome little student finally came to the family, and his eyes naturally said no

The meaning of the warm smell of the clear road.

Wealthy nobles, who understand etiquette in front of people, have no taboos in the future, and have long been open secrets.

Chu Xianzhao felt the scorching gaze of the Quartet, still as immobile as a mountain, he preferred to focus on the dignified lady in the center, she seemed to be the woman who could dominate the overall situation, and was by no means the kind of useless caged canary.

"Don't be nervous, I just asked the third sister to call you to let us all see. ”

The woman tried her best to put on a gentle expression, and looked at Chu Xianzhao with a smile, like an elder looking at a younger generation, "The master wrote a letter to Luoyang, and suddenly the letter said that there is an extra son coming out, let us take good care of you, make us all scramble, you just came back to Luoyang City with Huayu, we have to meet you." By the way, what's your name, kid?"

"Tang Huang, Tang of Tang Kingdom, Huang Huang of Yingying, I have my mother's surname. ”

Chu Xianzhao's voice had a special wavelength at this time, his smile was indifferent, and his tone was relaxed, his voice was very fascinated by women.

"Don ...... Huang?"

The eldest lady's face changed slightly, and she quickly became calm and indifferent, and nodded: "Surname Tang, next time when Lao Shen comes back, I will take you to the ancestral hall to kowtow and incense, which can be regarded as recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors, in short, we will be a family in the future." ”

In Chu Xian's summoning, the eldest lady just said something that was too ordinary to be ordinary, but in the other ladies, this sentence should be placed in the last sentence of today's conversation, this illegitimate son stepped into the Shen family's manor on the first day, and he didn't beat him a few times, which made him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, which inevitably made him take advantage, right?

In fact, Shen Sanqian talked in detail about Chu Xianzhao's current situation in the letter sent to the eldest lady, and the words of praise on the letter were endless, praising Chu Xianzhao as if there was nothing in heaven and earth, making the eldest lady subconsciously think that Shen Sanqian wanted this illegitimate son to come back to inherit the great cause of the Shen family, and he didn't say what he was doing in Luoyang City, but just asked them to take good care of him and meet all his needs.

Since her husband values this illegitimate child so much, presumably he still has some unusual skills, the reason why the eldest lady said that is mainly to let this child let go of her vigilance against them, looking at her face and listening to her voice, she feels that this child is not the kind of person who is arrogant and difficult to get along with, if he can train him well, it may not be impossible for him to support the Shen family.

When the eldest lady said this, the Gao family looked deeply at Chu Xianzhao's side face, thinking that this illegitimate son will start today, but he has completely changed from a pheasant to a phoenix.

If she knew Chu Xuan's past identity, it would be demeaning to describe him as a phoenix.

Chu instantly summoned him to be a dragon sparrow, a big Yin dragon sparrow, and a dragon swallowing sparrow.

Soon the tea and snacks came up, Chu Xianzhao gently sipped the golden sunset hair tip of the leaves, and felt that the people of the Southern Continent just like to drink tea, and I heard that the climate in the land of the Southern Barbarians is humid and hot

, The people there drink a kind of tea that is more bitter than the medicinal soup every day to nourish the body, fortunately he was born in the Northern Regions and not in the Southern Continent, otherwise he is so afraid of bitterness, if he drinks bitter tea every day, it is better to call him to die.

Shen Taisui and the eldest lady Zhang Yan are a couple who are married to the belly, Zhang Yan's grandfather was Zhang Zhengju, the prime minister of Luoyang, the two are together can be described as a good pair, Zhang Yan is not the kind of ordinary woman who does not listen to things outside the window, and only weaves the red cloth of the girl, Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, six Tao and three strategies, and even the temple warp and weft, she is very proficient, and later married Shen Tai Sui after marrying a chicken and a dog to learn the way of businessmen, but Shen Tai Sui is romantic, and soon after the two got married, they began to stay at night, lingering in the flower shop and spending a lot of money, Zhang Yan, who lived in a simple and virtuous manner, had no way to discipline him at that time, and could only watch him bring one woman after another into the Shen Mansion, Later, he devoted himself to the layout of the Shen family's firm, so that the foundation of the Shen family was even more deep-rooted, and the tentacles were all over the Southern Continent countries, and the way the husband and wife got along with each other was barely respectful of each other, as for whether they respected each other like ice, only the eldest lady who was summoning tea for Chu Xuan knew.

When Chu Xianzhao took the hot tea handed by the eldest lady, his face was calm, and his mood was not like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, the eldest lady was satisfied with his performance, and said to Chu Xianzhao in a gentle tone unique to the elders: " This sunset hair tip clear eyes can sober up the wine, Lao Shen used to drink the flower wine outside after coming back, I will personally make a pot for him, more than ten years ago, the tea itself is not expensive, but later the Queen Mother likes to drink this tea, so the people outside will be this tea as a royal tribute fried up, a piece of tea is more expensive than gold outside, tea merchants also restrict tea farmers to plant this kind of tea, to ensure that the scarcity is expensive, the entire tea market will be smoky, tea cakes are Lao Shen before drinking leftovers, your father likes to drink this tea, I think you should also like to drink。 ”

Chu Xianzhao didn't understand the way of these businessmen, so he could only squint and smile while drinking tea to deal with the eldest lady, and the eldest lady asked, "Child, how old are you this year?"

Chu Xianzhao said: "Mrs. Hui, it will be eighteen after September. ”

"Then is your mother still there?"

“...... It was gone many years ago. ”

The eldest lady sighed and said, "What a poor child, tell me, how did you find Lao Shen?"

This question made Chu Xianzhao stunned, and soon he calmed down and said calmly: "If you go back to the eldest lady, it was not me who found my father, but my father who found me." ”

The eldest lady glanced at him thoughtfully, and Chu Xianzhao smiled calmly, still with the posture of a young man who was calm and breezy.

"Lao Shen found you...... In that case, I understand. ”

Chu Xianzhao's answer can be described as exquisite, and the tone is similar to that of this eldest lady who seems to be able to see through your thoughts, and he made up a story full of loopholes in front of him, it is better to directly say that Shen Taisui found him, so the doctor

It's not easy for people to ask any more questions.

After all, a man like Shen Taisui, who is as cunning as a fox and has a high vision, can't just recognize a child without a father and a mother on the street and say that he is his illegitimate child, there must be conclusive evidence, such as a token birthmark or something.

Although he is an illegitimate child, Chu Xianzhao's actions are not like that of a child without a father and mother, he speaks clearly and smiles easily, he always looks calm and unhurried in the face of himself, and even knows the etiquette of drinking tea.

The eldest lady has received many businessmen who claim to be the prince of the county and the king of the county, they have incense and crowns, brocade clothes and wide sleeves, but as soon as they drink, they will immediately be exposed, and the appearance of holding a cup in one hand looks as rude as a country man sitting in front of his house drinking water.

The child also knows that before drinking tea, he uses the saucer to cushion the cup, and after turning the pattern on the teacup to himself, he drinks it gently, which is the respect of the tea drinker to the person who delivers the tea in the tea ceremony.

The three brothers and sisters in the Dayin Palace have their own preferences for drinks, the elder brother has been drunk in the wine cellar of the imperial dining room since he was a child, he likes to drink the sugar water stewed by Su Changyan for him, Chu Xun likes to drink tea, every time he goes to the princess's mansion to find her when he is a child, Chu Xun will make tea for his younger brother with his own hands, this tea ceremony etiquette Chu Xuanzhao naturally understands, but he has drunk it for so many years and does not think that this tea from the bird is anything good, it is not as good as the hearty and spicy throat of the wine, and it is not as cool and sweet as the sugar water。

Chu Xianzhao and the eldest lady asked and answered, and the ladies around them may have questions that they wanted to ask Chu Xianzhao, but they all kept their mouths shut with tacit understanding.

The reason why the eldest lady is the eldest lady is not that she is just Shen Taisui's first wife, and some people even say that if she goes to the palace to be the queen, she can still manage the harem obediently.

Now there are more silent people, and there are always only two voices in the lobby, and everyone lowers their heads absentmindedly, only Gao's brows are slightly furrowed.

She found that this bastard child was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and even when they occasionally saw the eldest lady, they couldn't help but avoid it like a mouse seeing a cat, and he could still chat with the eldest lady so happily, and he was free to deal with it without any nervousness, saying that he was mature and stable, but at least he was much more stable than his peers.

It's not the first time that the master has had an affair with a woman outside, but this time he actually asked his daughter to bring back an illegitimate child, and asked them to take good care of him, is it not that after the old man stretches his legs in a few years, he will be the head of the Shen family, and when he sees him, he will have to bow down and call him the head of the family?

It has always been the eldest lady who talks to Chu Xianzhao again, making it clear that she still wants to weaken their status in his heart, but after all, she is still his elder, and she still has a little right to speak.

Gao coughed lightly, interrupted the conversation between the two, and asked, "The master asked you to come to Luoyang this time, mainly to be an official, or to join a business house to do things?"
