Although it was early in the morning, the temperature was not low, everyone stood under the sun for half an hour, and their bodies were already a little weak, so they could drink tea to quench their thirst after entering the house to cool down. The old lady's trick is about to be used up, and she picks the cold winter and the hot summer, and she has to come three or five times a year, but at this moment, even if there are thousands of dissatisfaction in her chest, she doesn't dare to say it!

"I heard that the lotus flowers in the green lotus pond have already budded, so let's go over and sit down together!"

Xia Xue'er's mind was full of Shuang'er's meaningful smile, and when she thought that Xianglan hadn't returned yet, she became more and more panicked, but the Liu family always wanted to find a chance to be alone with her, where did she have the heart to deal with her? So he turned his head and glanced at the other aunts behind him, smiled slightly, and said in a very "intimate" manner: "Since the old lady is unwell, then we should not disturb her old man's rest, with her mother serving on the side, you aunts can also rest assured that you can go back, but just now Aunt Liu and everyone went to sit on the Bishui Pavilion, I don't know what you think?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd that was still a little moving instantly quieted down, and everyone looked at each other, excited and somewhat puzzled. These three young ladies have always been cold and arrogant, especially after making a lot of murders, they disdain to get along with their lowly aunts, so they would invite them at this time? It's a rare thing!

Xia Xue'er didn't urge or explain, but looked at everyone with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth. She knew very well in her heart that her invitation was a great opportunity for these aunts who were desperate to earn a good future and a good home for themselves and their children, and they had no reason to refuse.

But it was at this time that a man caught her attention. When everyone looked puzzled and looked at each other, this person was smiling at the corner of his mouth, standing aside with his eyebrows lowered, as if he was not moved at all, and seemed to hold everything in his own hands.

This person is Aunt Li, the biological mother of the fourth lady Xia Qiaohui.

Xia Xue'er had also been in contact with the Li family before. At last year's birthday banquet, Li's nephew Li Zongyang also fought with him, and later because of poisoning, she was sent to the Buddhist hall for a few days because she couldn't get rid of the suspicion, or Xia Xueer interceded to let her out. But even with such an experience, in her opinion, Li Shi has never found any difference between her and others except for being silent, and now that she looks closely, she can see the clues.

Originally, the people who could generally become the aunts of the Hou Mansion would not be simple-minded women, but these aunts in the Xia Mansion were exceptional!

Xia Qingxuan is a single-minded person, never in and out of the fireworks Willow Lane, since the Ming Media is marrying the daughter of the Zhao family in Jiangnan, he has never looked at the woman next to him, only focused on the official career, because of this, the old lady is impatient, and he took it upon himself to carry back the concubines of one room after another for his son, so among these many aunts, except for the Liu family, who was married by his father himself, all of them were arranged by the old lady, and there was no emotional basis in advance. And when the old lady was looking for a concubine candidate for her son, in addition to her outstanding appearance, the biggest condition was to be decent, what she liked was that this person would not only be able to open up branches for the Xia family in the future, but also be able to be controlled by herself in applause, so as not to cause a storm in the backyard, and also help herself suppress Zhao Yulan's standout. It's a pity that human nature is self-interested, and no matter how decent people are, they will gradually learn to see the direction of the wind when they reach this prosperous imperial capital like a deep pool.

Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been two tigers, but one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. No matter how gentle and generous Zhao Yulan is, she can't help the old lady's eyes like an enemy and her old man's egg-picking temperament. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are calm on the surface, but they are actually working hard secretly. When Xia Qingxuan was not yet the marquis, Zhao Yulan was the wife of the emperor Chrysostom, and the old lady coveted the power and financial resources of the Zhao family, and hated that she was inferior in front of her daughter-in-law, so there was always a thorn in her heart. And although Zhao Yulan has the bearing, she has already smoothed out her patience and has cultivated a non-contentious mentality. Filial piety to the old lady is purely to perform the duties of a daughter-in-law with her good family education, anything else is an indifferent attitude, in the face of such a daughter-in-law, the old lady is often like a punch in the cotton, a deep sense of powerlessness.

Zhao Yulan was born in a century-old famous family, has a dignified temperament, and has the capital to stand out from the crowd, but she is gentle and kind, and has her own set of rules and regulations for treating people and things, and she can also treat her concubines generously and never exclude. From the old man to the sweeping maid in the house, all of them praised him. In addition, the eldest young master is from Zhao Yulan, young and promising, and now he is just over 20 years old and the princess is engaged, not only the red man in front of the emperor but also the prince of Anguo, and the future is immeasurable.

The aunts in the mansion are naturally not stupid, and everyone understands that if they enter this Hou Mansion, they will stay for the rest of their lives. If you follow the old lady and do right with the lady on weekdays, how should you live your life after the old lady is a hundred years old? But if you stand in the right direction, not only will your life be guaranteed, but even your children will be able to find a good way out, isn't this eldest lady a living example!

Who is the king of this house? The obvious pros and cons, no one will fail to see! The old lady wanted to hold them one by one in her hands, but she didn't want it to backfire, so she made a wishful thinking.

Li raised his hand and pressed the smile on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, the wind in this house has always touched her accurately, in the past, the old lady was very difficult to deal with the lady, and now there is a Xia Xue'er, which is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and has been favored by the six princes, from now on, the old lady wants to deal with this throat sting, I am afraid that she is powerless, and sooner or later this backyard will have to change her surname to Zhao!

Fortunately, he has been by his wife's side for so many years, and he has pretended to be stupid and stupid, and he has never been jealous of others.

"Madame Lan Xinhuizhi, there is naturally nothing to worry about with her serving the concubine by the old lady's side, since the third lady has such a good mention, why should there be no reason not to go?"

With the leader of the Li family, the rest of the people also smiled and echoed: "Sister Li is right, the Qinglian Pond is very cool, and it is the best way to cool off!" ”

Xia Xue'er looked at Li, and it happened that she was also looking at herself, and she also smiled and nodded. Seeing this, the smile in Xia Xue'er's eyes deepened a little.

Since the Li family sold himself a favor, he will naturally return her back!
