Chapter 089: The Xue Family Visits
Although Xue Xinran, the Duke of Fengguo, is over sixty years old, he is in good spirits and has a strong attitude.
Although the eldest son Xue Zheng is not as good as Fengguo, he is also the governor of Lizhou, and he is the largest family in Lizhou.
Although Xue Zhengfa's wife Lou was not born high, she was born with a delicate mind, beautiful and moving, and the Xue family is not a layman who only values family background, so this Xue family's marriage was also lively back then.
In addition to Xue Zheng's marriage, the Xue family also has a marriage that makes people nod and shake their heads, envy and regret, that is, Xue Xinran's youngest and most favored daughter Xue Peixin.
Speaking of this Xue Peixin, she is also a well-known beauty, when she is at the age of marriage, there are many people who come to the door to propose relatives, in the huge capital, the fourth lady of the Xue family only fell in love with Ling Shandao, the eldest young master of the Ling family, and the two families are big families, so there is naturally no hesitation in this marriage.
A year after marriage, the Xue family gave birth to a daughter, but the daughter was born not long ago, but he returned to heaven, but mortals mentioned this matter, they can't help but say "God is jealous".
Ling Shandao is a loving and righteous person, he has not remarried for more than ten years, only an aunt in the house, but he has not been corrected for more than ten years, and when he mentions this matter, he can't help but sigh.
When Ling Yi grew up, she almost never had contact with her grandfather's house, and she only remembered meeting a few times in her previous life.
I have the impression that my grandfather always has a calm face and doesn't say much, and at that time she was very afraid of this grandfather, so she hid behind the nurse Hu Shi every time to take a look, and then ran away.
As for those uncles and aunts, their memories were even more blurry, so when Zhi Yu said that the Zou family had invited their uncles and aunts over on their birthdays, Ling Yi was a little surprised.
Calculating the time, Zou's birthday is indeed approaching, and Ling Yi has never liked her, so she didn't take this kind of thing to heart.
The reason why Zhi Yu knew was that she noticed that many new things had been added to the interior of the mansion one after another, and she seemed to be preparing something, so she casually asked someone, only to know that it was the birthday of the Zou family every year, and the mansion had to do it.
Although she is still an aunt's wife in name, the treatment she can enjoy is already the treatment of a wife.
On the surface, it was natural for the Zou family to invite guests on her birthday, but this time she invited the Xue family, which had to make Ling Yi suspicious.
The Zou family has always coveted the position of his wife, and it stands to reason that she will deliberately avoid having any dealings with Xue's mother's family.
But this time, why did you take the initiative to invite someone over? If it was a demonstration or something, Ling Yi would never believe it, the Zou family was not so stupid as to want to stimulate the mother's family of Ling Shandao's wife, the Xue family.
The hunt is still in full swing, and the capital is lively.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, it was extremely hot, and there were very few people entering and leaving the city gate, but at this time a gorgeous carriage drove in, and the coachman alone was better dressed than ordinary people, which made the soldiers guarding the city curious.
Take a closer look, the car is hung with the word Xue, there is no lack of big families surnamed Xue in Beijing, the gatekeeper did not react for a while, asked the coachman where to go, replied "Lingfu", the soldier immediately understood, immediately greeted with a smile and watched the carriage enter the city.
After another quarter of an hour, a woman's impatient voice came from inside the car: "Why haven't you arrived yet?" ”
Another male voice gently comforted: "It's almost fast, you have to be patient." ”
In the car was Xue Zheng and his wife Lou, Lou came at the invitation of the Zou family, and Xue Zheng came with his wife.
Judging from the conversation in the car, Xue Zheng is obviously a man who is afraid of inward, and he has to accommodate his wife in everything, which is very different from Fengguo Gong.
Lou pouted and looked unhappy: "If you hadn't chosen that ghost place in the first place, would I be able to bear this anger now?" ”
It was not the first time Xue Zheng had heard anything bad about Lizhou, so she naturally didn't react, but smiled and relieved: "Whether it's Lizhou or Beijing, my father is old and can't stand the disturbances in Beijing. ”
Lou's face sank: "You have considered your father, but have you considered it for Yu'er?" If he grew up in Beijing since he was a child, and made friends with the children of the nobility, he would definitely be able to go much better in his career in the future. ”
When Xue Zheng heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't get angry, but his tone was flat: "Career is important, but Yu'er is also alive and well now, and he likes those friends very much, so why bother." ”
"Am I careful? If you grow up? What can I do about that? Your monthly income is not enough to support the expenses of the house, if it weren't for my care, this family would have been unable to sustain for a long time, you are good, you don't care about anything, I have to worry about everything, the one hundred taels that your second brother borrowed the day before yesterday, are you not going to ask for it? I'll tell you ----"
The more Lou Shi spoke, the more excited he became, and the words came out of his mouth like beans without a pause.
Xue listened calmly, obviously accustomed to hearing these words.
Lou was still scolding, the carriage was suddenly stopped, and the coachman said, "Old lady, Lingfu has arrived." ”
Xue Zheng hurriedly patted the back of Lou's hand, "Don't say it, I haven't been to my brother-in-law's house for a long time, and I don't know how tall it is." ”
As soon as he mentioned Fusheng, Lou's complexion changed, and he immediately returned to a calm and gentle color, letting Xue Zheng get out of the car first, and he got off later.
As soon as the Xue family entered the mansion, Ling Yi got the news, but she pretended not to know, and it wasn't until the Lan family sent someone to inform her that she was surprised and surprised, and took Zhi Yu to the front hall.
When I first saw Lou, I could guess the latter's demeanor back then.
Although she has passed her youth, she still has charm, especially the latter's smile and every move reflect the image of a gentle woman.
If it weren't for the deliberate glance she was given as soon as she entered the door, Ling Yi would almost have to believe that this aunt was really as good as the legend said.
"Fusheng has seen my uncle and aunt." She saluted as well-behaved as before, but pretended not to see Lou's gaze.
Fengguo Gong has four sons and two daughters, among which Xue Zheng has the closest relationship with Xue Peixin, that is, Ling Yi's mother, so when he saw Ling Yi carved out of a mold like his little sister, he was emotional, and couldn't help but reddened his eyes for a while.
With just this one action, Ling Yi knew that this uncle, who he didn't understand in his previous life, was actually a man who valued love and righteousness, this kind of person, marrying a wife is naturally easy to say, but if he marries a wife who can calculate, it will definitely be more than a dead pressure.
And no matter how she looks at Lou, she doesn't look like an ordinary person.
She was also full of curiosity about Lou's visit this time.
Lou's attitude towards Ling Yi can be imagined, pulling the latter to praise him for a while, and saying that he missed it a lot, and finally took off a delicate blood jade bracelet from his wrist and said that it was a meeting gift.
Ling Yi repeatedly excused herself before respectfully accepting it.
The Zou family was naturally the most happy with the arrival of the Lou family, in fact, when the Lou family was invited over, she also took some time to say that Ling Shandao moved, and after Ling Shandao agreed, she gave the Lan family, and finally everyone knew.
The people on the side only thought that she invited Lou to come in order to ease the relationship.
Ling Shandao also thought that this was the case, so he didn't think much about anything else, he also liked this big brother a lot, although the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, they didn't have a relationship, and they didn't have anything to do with Xue's death, and they talked very happily.
After several people met, Lan claimed to be tired, so he went back to Lan Yuan to rest.
Ling Yi also said that he had left beforehand.
Somehow, Zou and Lou hit it off at first sight, and the two went to Qinxin Garden hand in hand.
The remaining Ling Shandao and Xue Zheng also went to the study to play chess, and told each other that they would fight for three hundred rounds.
For a while, the house was not lively.
