Chapter 114: It's not about you
The old lady was belittled by the person sent by the Jian'an Hou Mansion to send the invitation, of course, she was angry in her heart, and now she asks this, obviously asking for opinions, but in fact, she wants to listen to her daughter-in-law's compliments and seek a balance in her heart, so as to highlight her right to speak in the house!
With such a clear heart, how could Mrs. Xia, who has served on the side for more than 20 years, not see it?
Although Mrs. Xia had already seen through the coldness of this mother-in-law in her heart, knowing that she had never been good to herself, she was just coveting the gift box sent by the Zhao family every year and the honor brought to the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, but she still obeyed the duties of a daughter-in-law, and served her wholeheartedly for so many years, and never disobeyed.
"It's up to the mother to decide." She doesn't care.
The old lady showed a little joy on her face, Zhao Yulan is good at this, filial piety is supreme, after all, she is a daughter from a big family, and she will take care of the interests of the family in everything. Then he turned his head to look at Xia Xue'er, although he didn't like this granddaughter in his heart, he also respected her for three points, he only thought that Xia Xue'er was smart and clever before, and after Bai Yining's incident, he saw that her means were extraordinary, maybe the future of the Hou Mansion would have to rely on her to fulfill it! So he asked a little kindly: "Do the three girls want to go?" ”
Hearing this, the corners of Xia Xue'er's mouth hooked up a smile, which happened to be blocked by the lid of the cup. Since Yalanxuan caught fire a few months ago and she threatened the old lady, the two of them have become a little bit of the same thing, one will never be called "grandma" from now on, and the other will never call "three girls" again. Now that I suddenly have to be so kind, I'm afraid I have something to ask for again!
It's just that although she didn't grow up in the mansion since she was a child, she has also heard about the grievances and grievances between the Xia family's big house and the second room. The foundation of the Xia family was laid down by the old man with Emperor Taizu when he fought the country, and after the opening of the dynasty, he was feudalized and waited for, enjoying the grace of hereditary replacement. In the old lady's generation, most of the people who came out of the big house did not become a weapon, only guarded the position of the prince, and enjoyed glory and wealth, even if they served in the court, most of them were a fictitious position with no real power, but the second room was more famous. Her grandfather served as the imperial general at a young age, and was deeply trusted by the emperor. 's father was deeply influenced by his grandfather, and he was also young and promising, full of prestige in the army, loyal to the lord, and a big celebrity in front of the emperor, so he was later named Marquis of Anguo, and he also enjoyed the hereditary title.
A family can't produce two hereditary marquises, the emperor is willing to do this, on the one hand, for the sake of the Zhao family's face, and more to prevent the Xia family from having a heart of disobedience, after all, Xia Qingxuan and Xia Xing are both in the court, and they are both rare military wizards, and it is a pity to lose them, so he tied them with grace.
In addition, over the years, not only has the Jian'an Houfu not cultivated a half-pillar of the country, but one or two scandals have occurred from time to time, which is really a bit downhill, and it is not impossible to turn around and turn around and tie up the thriving Anguo Houfu!
It's just that over there, how did Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou know that they had cut off the blood and family ties by driving their younger brother's family out of the house at the beginning, and how could they get back now?
Although Xia Xue'er knew these past events and knew the old lady's thoughts, she didn't plan to say it for her, so she put down the teacup in her hand unhurriedly, and didn't look at the people in the hall, only lowered her head and frowned, and replied pretending to be obedient: "Whether you want to or not, it's all up to you to decide." "Since you have to pretend to be kind, then there is no reason for you not to cooperate, right?
At first, when the aunts heard that the old lady called out the "three girls", they wondered if there was something wrong with their ear power, but after seeing that the cold and arrogant third lady on weekdays also had a well-behaved and gentle demeanor, they felt even more incredible!
What kind of magic made the originally incompatible grandparents and grandchildren regain their harmonious faces?
After Xia Xue'er finished speaking, she glanced in the direction where Xia Qiaoyun was, intentionally or unintentionally, and the old lady naturally noticed this detail, her eyes followed her, it was okay not to look at it, but this look pushed up a lot of anger.
A pile of soft mud slumped on the chair, and there is no demeanor that everyone should have! In the end, it was taught by Shen himself, and he couldn't get on the stage! is still delusional to attend the wedding banquet of the prince of Jian'an's Hou Mansion with her unpromising mother, is it because she wants to lose her face to someone else's house, so that people can look down on Anguohou's Mansion?!
"If Sister Yun is not feeling well, let the maid accompany her!" The sternness in the old lady's tone is rare!
Xia Qiaoyun was thinking about the construction of the Hou An's Mansion, and suddenly came back to her senses after hearing this, and raised her head blankly to look at her grandmother, the eyes staring at her seemed to be about to breathe fire, but the strange thing was that she had always been afraid of the old lady was not the slightest bit of panic at the moment. glanced at everyone in the room, the eyes that watched the show flashed with excitement, she could ignore all of this, but Xia Xue'er's bright eyes made her nowhere to hide! The corners of her lips rose slightly in a just right arc, seemingly smiling and not smiling, always with a light and breezy demeanor, hateful, but there was nothing she could do!
Xia Xue'er looked at everyone in the room with a faint expression, but her eyes might have fallen on whom, she just drank tea and didn't interject, she wasn't so noble, she wouldn't send charcoal in the snow, and it wasn't her style to fall into the well, she just wanted to be an idle person who drank tea and watched the play, unharmed, light and light.
It's not without doubts in my heart, today is indeed very unusual, this one by one seems to have taken the wrong medicine, and the style of acting is very different from usual! Especially Aunt Shen, first ran to listen to Yuxuanzhong for no reason, with an extremely humble attitude, and then stepped on a landmine in the Livable Pavilion, and her mouth was open.
Just punished her mother and made a girl, what happened to the women in the Hou Mansion?!
"Have all these years been taught in vain? I won't even answer you when asked! ”
The old lady was very angry. She never liked this granddaughter, she would only complain about the injustice of the world since she was a child, but she was as timid as a mouse, she thought that she would be sent to the family temple for a few months to grow up, but she didn't expect to be as brave as ever, I heard that I was scared sick for a few days after listening to the three girls in Yuxuan, and I was scared to get sick for a few days.
Hey~ Could it be that the dignified Anguo Marquis Mansion is only out of Xia Xue'er, a woman who is both wise and brave? In this alone, he has already lost to the Jian'an Hou Mansion! How could she not be angry!
