Chapter 216: Envy
The two of them went all the way back to Weizhou Courtyard with some chickens and ducks, but now Weizhou Courtyard is full of large and small gift boxes, and many of them are almost filled with huge courtyards, and these needless to say, of course, they are the dowry gifts sent by the Nie family, but Xu Youshan was very surprised, how could these things be piled up here like this, aren't these dowries supposed to be collected by the eldest aunt into the warehouse?
"These, my mother was supposed to put them in the warehouse, but there were too many things piled up in the warehouse, so my mother also wanted to take this opportunity to count them in person, so these things were left in my place first, and after a few days the warehouse was counted, and then put them in." Maybe Xu Yourong saw Xu Youshan's doubts, so he took the initiative to explain to her without waiting for her to ask.
The two walked towards the house while talking, although it was still early, but the sun was not small, Xu Yourong knew that Xu Youshan was the most unbearable person to withstand the heat, so he took her directly into the cool house.
In the house, at this time, Wan'er has prepared melons and fruits and refreshments, and all of them are Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan's favorite food, today's banquet, of course Xu Mingcheng is also coming, but I don't know when to come, after all, people are different from Xu Youshan, Xu Youshan is just a nominal princess of Chu, then everything in the Chu palace is still in charge of Mama Zhao, and Xu Youshan, the princess of Chu, has not had any intention of wanting to take back the power of the family, although Xie Jing mentioned it to her, Do you want to be in charge of the middle feed in the palace with Mama Zhao, but Xu Youshan refused.
Joke. Now this hand-shaking princess of Chu, Xu Youshan is so carefree, she doesn't want to change her current chic life at all. Besides, Mama Zhao is still very old and strong now. Xu Youshan saw that she had no intention of delegating power at all, so why should she embarrass herself and take away other people's preferences?
Therefore, Xu Youshan's current princess of Chu is still in name, not at all like Xu Mingxi's title of princess of Beiding Palace, which is real, not only has she slowly taken over the affairs of Princess Rui of Chu. took over the middle feed of the Beiding Palace, and whether it was going out for a banquet or something like that, it was now Xu Mingcheng who was attending on behalf of the Beiding Palace.
So the current Xu Mingcheng can be said to be busy all day without touching the ground. It is impossible to be like Xu Youshan, who is so leisurely that she can't talk, she comes to Dongyang Lane early to drink tea and eat small cakes.
"Ming Yan is too, I don't know what I'm busy with recently, it's really rare to see her, like ascending to the sky." Xu Yourong obviously also thought of Xu Mingxi. So I complained about her at this time. And after Xu Youshan heard this, she also nodded with deep feeling, Xu Mingcheng is really not ordinary busy.
But this is not incomprehensible, after all, the Beiding Royal Mansion is not an ordinary family, and it is not an easy task to manage. Besides, Xu Youshan thinks that Xu Mingcheng is not the only one who will be busy in the future!
"Eldest sister, in fact, you don't have to complain about your sister like this. The Zhenguo Mansion is no worse than the Beiding Palace, and you and Nie Liugongzi will be married by then. If the eldest prince Nie is not married yet, you are Mrs. Nie's only daughter-in-law, so you will definitely help Mrs. Nie take care of the Zhenguo Mansion at that time. I guess you and Sister Cheng will be just as busy at that time! Xu Youshan smiled at Xu Yourong a little heartlessly, and as long as she thought that when Xu Yourong and Nie Suhyun became married, they would also be entangled in trivial matters, she sighed for Xu Yourong very pretendedly.
After Xu Yourong listened to Xu Youshan's words, her pretty face turned red, and she wanted to reach out and pinch Xu Youshan, but Xu Youshan saw that she was getting old, so she ran away early, and made a teasing look at Xu Yourong, which made Xu Yourong even more ashamed and angry, and got up and ran after Xu Youshan, ready to have an "intimate and friendly" exchange with her, but Xu Youshan didn't have this will, so the two ran and chased each other.
The laughter spread all the way outside the house, so that the people outside could not hear it more clearly, so Xu Mingcheng stood outside the house speechless for a long time, and unconsciously showed a smile to look at Wan'er, and rushed away the boredom in the heat of the summer solstice, "When did Sister Shan'er come?" Xu Mingcheng asked the maid guarding the door.
"If you go back to the eldest lady, the second lady has just arrived." The maid who was asked said truthfully, Xu Mingyan smiled when she heard this, and walked towards the house without a report.
"You two are idle!" Xu Mingcheng pushed open the door and walked in, smiling at Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan who were laughing in the house, and Xu Youshan and the two were still fighting, but suddenly heard the door creak, the two were stunned for a moment, and before they could react, they were surprised by Xu Mingcheng's appearance, so they both hurriedly walked towards Xu Mingcheng and asked her how she was free today and could come so early.
"My aunt and uncle asked me to come, and her old man said that she would give me a day off today, so that I could come back and get together with you." Xu Mingcheng is also very happy to be together with Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan, recently she has been really busy with the affairs in the palace, and she and Xu Youshan have not been together for a long time, so now the three of them are very happy to see each other.
"It's better to be an uncle and grandmother, alas...... I really envy you. Xu Yourong looked at Xu Mingcheng enviously, you must know that since ancient times, the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been the most difficult and terrifying thing, and how lucky Xu Mingcheng is, he was able to meet a mother-in-law like Princess Rui of Beiding, which is simply burning incense.
On this issue, Xu Yourong is really envious of Xu Mingxi, and as long as she thinks of Nie Suhyun's mother-in-law and her future mother-in-law, Mrs. Nie, she has a direct headache, and she can't wait to automatically forget about these problems, but this is impossible, so Xu Yourong's face at this time suddenly became a little stupid, which made Xu Minghuan and Xu Youshan both puzzled.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Mingcheng looked at Xu Yourong and asked funny.
"What else can I do, I just envy you." Xu Yourong replied weakly: "If only my in-laws could be like my uncle and grandmother." "Having said that, where would Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan not know what happened to Xu Yourong. It's not that I thought of Mrs. Nie, who was not very easy to get along with.
But you can't say that, Mrs. Nie is not easy to get along with, and she is still picky. If the object is Nie Yufu, then Mrs. Nie can be said to be the best person in the world. But if the object is changed and replaced by Xu Yourong, then Mrs. Nie will not get along very well, and these conclusions are all due to the fact that after the marriage of Nie Suhyun and Xu Yourong was booked by the Xu family and the Nie family, at a banquet. Xu Yourong found out when he met Mrs. Nie again.
"You too, don't be so negative, maybe you and Nie Liucheng will become married. Mrs. Nie is not like that. Xu Mingcheng was a little comforted, but she also heard the unreliability of her words.
"Come on, weren't you there that day, didn't you also see Mrs. Nie's attitude towards me. That's really cold. At first glance, I just don't like the way I look. As long as Xu Yourong remembered Mrs. Nie's cold attitude towards her when she met Mrs. Nie at the banquet that day, Xu Yourong had already abandoned all the beautiful fantasies before.
At the very least, Xu Yourong didn't dare to think about the things that Mrs. Nie would love herself like her uncle and grandmother loved Xu Mingxi. And she finally understood at that time that a good thing like Xu Mingcheng was as rare as pie in the sky. And ordinary people can't touch it at all. So recently, as long as he mentions his life after marrying into the Zhenguo Mansion in the future, Xu Yourong will immediately feel weak. And it's okay in front of the elders. As long as there were no elders present, Xu Yourong would immediately melt and be paralyzed like snow.
"Ouch, eldest sister, it's you who are too negative, don't you still have Nie Liugongzi." Xu Youshan didn't go to that banquet that day, so she didn't witness Mrs. Nie's cold attitude towards Xu Yourong, so it was quite reasonable to say it at this time, and it was many times more convincing than Xu Mingcheng's weak heart.
But Xu Youshan said it firmly, but Xu Yourong rolled her eyes when she heard it, "Okay, you don't come to stand and talk without backache, you are the happiest among us, you are the happiest among you, you are idle in the palace all day long, no one can care about you at all, you don't get angry with me here." ”
Xu Yourong didn't say it's okay, this said, even Xu Mingming, who was recently tired by the middle feed of the Beiding Palace, immediately turned the spearhead, squinted his eyes at Xu Youshan, and said to her in a suddenly gentle and frightening tone: "That's it, I heard that Sister Shan'er, you just eat, drink, and sleep in the palace all day long, and you don't have to worry about anything else, right?" ”
Maybe Xu Mingming's tone was too "gentle", or maybe Xu Yourong's eyes were too "gentle", so that countless goosebumps suddenly broke up on Xu Youshan's back, so she hurriedly smiled at the two of them: "Look at what you two eldest sisters said, little sister, I don't have a hard time, I have to say that I have no last resort, you also know what a special identity that Mama Zhao in my palace is, I don't even dare to provoke her, then I naturally can't interfere with this matter of feeding, This is my suffering, how can you still say that. ”
Xu Youshan pretended to take Jinpa and pressed the corner of her eye, but Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng ignored her, but they were still looking at her, which made Xu Youshan say that it was terrible.
"Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss, Second Miss, it's not early, Madame, please go to the early autumn pavilion, and then go to Qinhuatang to accompany the old lady for lunch in a while." And at this critical and dangerous moment, when Xu Youshan couldn't help but run away, Liu Yue's voice outside the door came in and fell into Xu Youshan's ears, which was really like a heavenly sound.
"Oh, before I know it, time has passed, eldest sister, sister Huan, let's hurry to the early autumn pavilion, don't let the eldest aunt wait for us." Xu Youshan jumped up without saying a word, and then rushed out first, the speed was really breathtaking, and it also made Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng cry and laugh.
After a while, after Xu Youshan and the three of them arrived at the Autumn Beginning Pavilion to meet Pei's family, they followed Pei's family to Qinhua Hall and accompanied Mrs. Qi to lunch. And Mrs. Qi's body, although she has occasionally felt unwell over the years, but because she is properly maintained on weekdays, she has no serious illnesses and pains, she is still very healthy, and her majesty is still intimidating, so that Xu Youshan, these juniors, will always be a little cautious unconsciously when they see her old man, especially Xu Youshan, after all, her biological father is Xu Rong.
But unlike Xu Youshan's extreme caution, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng are much more relaxed, and thanks to the fact that the two of them have always been lively by Xu Youshan's side, this lunch is not so difficult.
And after lunch, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng accompanied Mrs. Qi to talk for a while, and Mrs. Qi drove them away, letting Xu Youshan and the three of them go to play by themselves, so they didn't have to accompany her, so Xu Youshan and the three of them saluted Mrs. Qi and Pei's family and said goodbye, and returned to Weizhou Courtyard together, after all, it was noon, and the sun was hot, so naturally they couldn't stay outside the house to bask in the sun.
Weizhou-in
"By the way, Yourong, I have something I want to ask you." As soon as they returned to Weizhou Courtyard, Xu Youshan and the three of them hurriedly ran back to the house to stay, and hurriedly asked Wan'er and them to serve cold bayberry soup to relieve the heat. And when the hot heat was almost dissipated, Xu Mingcheng suddenly put down the bayberry soup in his hand, turned his head and said this to Xu Yourong.
"What's the matter, just ask, why are you looking right." Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan were both stunned by Xu Mingming's sudden move.
"How could your marriage with Nie Liu be decided so quickly?" Xu Mingcheng was not ambiguous, and asked directly, and Xu Youshan, who was next to Xu Yourong, immediately froze after hearing the words, she never expected that Sister Huan would ask this question so suddenly, although she had been worrying about this matter, but she had been hesitating, because the more she saw Xu Yourong's happy appearance, the more she couldn't open her mouth, but what she didn't expect was that Sister Huan actually asked.
Xu Youshan froze in place, but she was not the only one who froze, and Xu Yourong next to her also stiffened slightly, but the difference between her and Xu Youshan was that she immediately returned to normal, and then after muttering for a while, she raised her head and met Xu Mingxi's eyes directly, and said: "If I haven't thought about this, it is impossible, but Mingxi, to be honest, I don't know what the exact reason for this matter is."
