Suddenly, a red glow flew onto Liu Xuan's cheeks, and she pretended to be calm: "You might as well go and ask him to summon it." ”

Liu Zhiqing waved his hand again and again when he heard this: "I'm not stupid enough to ask for hardship." ”

The time for the two to talk and laugh passed quickly, and it didn't take long for a maid to inform them that lunch was ready.

Liu Zhiqing led Liu Xuan towards the dining hall, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the dining hall, he saw a noble lady looking this way accompanied by two maids, Liu Zhiqing took two steps forward and helped the noble lady's arm and said, "Why is my mother standing at the door?" ”

The noble lady ignored Liu Zhiqing, came straight towards Liu Xuan, and when she walked in front of Liu Xuan, she held her hand, with a loving smile on her face: "You are Xuan'er, you are really lovely." ”

Liu Xuan called in a low voice: "Mrs. Liu." But it provoked Liu's mother to have a slightly disgusted expression: "Call me Mrs. Liu, Xuan'er doesn't want to change her words?" ”

Liu Xuan was embarrassed and hurriedly changed her words: "Mother-in-law." ”

Mrs. Liu suddenly smiled, patted Liu Xuan's hand and led her towards the dining hall: "I heard what your stepfather said about you, I was thinking that he must be a lovely person who knows his heart, and when I heard that you want to eat together, I ignored their persuasion and waited outside the door, otherwise I would be happy when I saw it." ”

Mrs. Liu was praised by Mrs. Liu, lowered her head and followed her with a slight shame: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Mrs. Liu led Liu Xuan into the dining hall, and a woman got up and greeted her: "Sister, I can be regarded as bringing Miss Liu here." With a smile in her words, Liu Xuan raised her eyes and saw a woman with willowy eyebrows and apricot eyes looking at her.

Mother Liu smiled and introduced Liu Xuan: "This is Mrs. Qian." ”

Liu Xuan smiled slightly and blessed Mrs. Qian: "Xuan'er has seen Mrs. Qian." ”

Mrs. Qian stepped forward with a smile and looked Liu Xuan up and down, and then said, "My sister had to greet you at the door before, but I wanted to accompany her but refused." I have to be the first to see you. ”

Speaking of this, she withdrew a jade bracelet from her slap and stuffed it into Liu Xuan's hand with an unrefusable posture: "Please call me Mrs. Qian." From now on, we will be a family, and I have nothing to give you. This jade bracelet has been with me for many years, and today I will give it to you, and you must not dislike it. ”

Liu Xuan looked at the jade bracelet in her hand and knew that it was a valuable one, and was about to refuse but heard Liu's mother say: "It's rare that this picker is willing to give you this good thing, and Xuan'er accepts it." ”

Mother Liu said this, and Liu Xuan had to accept it: "Mrs. Qian gave me a generous gift, and Xuan'er thanked her." ”

The three women were chatting here, and Mrs. Liu, who was on the main seat, who was ignored, coughed lightly: "Okay, okay, I'll talk about something after dinner." ”

Mrs. Liu spoke, and Mother Liu and Mrs. Qian stopped talking, and Mother Liu took Liu Xuan into the seat. Liu Zhiqing also sat next to Liu Xuan, there was only one Mrs. Qian opposite Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan was slightly surprised, didn't Liu Zhiqing say that Mrs. Liu had two concubines, why did she only see one today?

As if knowing what Liu Xuan was thinking, Liu Muwei said with a smile: "Originally, Sister Feng was also going to come to see you today, but her body and bones were not very good, and she was about to enter winter, so she didn't come. ”

As soon as Liu's mother's words fell, she heard Mrs. Liu snort heavily: "I don't know the etiquette!" ”

After he snorted heavily, only Liu Zhiqing said as if he was nothing: "Father, it's time to start eating." ”

Mrs. Liu snorted lightly and ordered the table to open. The Liu family's most important ritual meal is naturally silent, Liu Xuan quietly used this meal under Qiu Ju's service, but in her heart she probably had a judgment about the people in Liufu, this Liu Mu must not be so kind and smooth as she looks at on weekdays. Just from the fact that the two concubines have nothing to say, we can know one or two.

The Liu family was originally a big family, and Liu Xuan was smart since she was a child, and she saw the dirty methods in the backyard clearly. This Liu Mu must also have a means.

And Mrs. Qian is obviously also smart, knowing her identity and knowing what to do and say. She said that Liu's mother had to be the first to see herself, which inadvertently expressed Liu's mother's love for herself. Simple, one sentence. not only pleases Liu's mother but also pleases himself, which is really shrewd.

As for Mrs. Feng who didn't come, it can be seen from Mrs. Liu's sentence of 'I don't know the number of etiquette' that her illness is not serious, but I am afraid that she will not come on purpose today, maybe not only today, Mrs. Feng is just a concubine, I don't know why she dares to go against Mother Liu so much.

After finishing the meal, Mrs. Liu got up and asked Liu Zhiqing to accompany him to play chess, Liu Zhiqing hurriedly said: "Sister Xuan is here, is my father afraid of finding the wrong person to play?" ”

Mrs. Liu's eyes were surprised, and Liu Zhiqing pointed at Liu Xuan with a smile and said, "Father and Sister Xuan will know if they play against each other, but you have to be prepared to lose your old face." ”

As he spoke, his true nature was revealed, and Mrs. Liu looked at him and snorted coldly, seeing that Liu Zhiqing had a gloating look, he turned his eyes to Liu Xuan and smiled slightly: "Since Zhiqing said so, Xuan'er will accompany her father-in-law to play a game." ”

Liu Xuan hasn't answered yet, but Liu's mother doesn't follow: "I only gave birth to two bastards in my life, and I have been looking forward to it for more than ten years and finally have a lovely daughter, and I still want to talk to her more, why is the master going to take someone away?" ”

"It's a long time coming." Mrs. Liu said: "In the future, there will be time for you to talk, Xuan'er will come to Liufu to accompany you more if she has nothing to do, and she will accompany me to play a game today, and then go to your yard after the game." ”

Liu Xuan smiled and said: "It is Xuan'er's luck to be able to accompany her father-in-law to play chess, her mother-in-law loves her, and Xuan'er will go to see her mother after playing with her father-in-law." ”

Mother Liu smiled and nodded in response, and Mrs. Liu left the dining hall with Liu Xuan and Liu Zhiqing first.

The three of them walked towards the study, and Liu Zhiqing whispered in Liu Xuan's ear: "My father is a chess idiot and an upright character, don't leave your hand when playing with him, even if you kill him without leaving a piece of armor, you can win his favor more than letting him have a son." ”

Liu Xuan nodded in response.

Liu Xuan originally wanted to go to the backyard to talk to Liu's mother after playing a game with Mrs. Liu, but he never said that Mrs. Liu was really a chess idiot.

Mrs. Liu looked at the white son who had failed miserably and sighed: "Xuan'er's chess skills are only unmatched by few people in this world, and the old man has never been so miserable in the hands of the prince." ”

How is Li Che's chess skills Liu Xuan knows that Liu Taifu is afraid that Li Che deliberately let it go when he says this, and only he can make it so leaky and leave no trace, and it is still impossible to do it with Liu Xuan's chess ability.

Liu Xuan smiled slightly: "My father-in-law praised him, there is Tianxuan'er outside the sky, and he never dares to be arrogant, and he tries his best to play against others." ”

"That's very good." Mrs. Liu nodded: "The old man looks down on those who deliberately give in the most, how can the chess field be like a battlefield and give in at will." ”

His words made Liu Xuan and Liu Zhiqing dumbfounded, and Mrs. Liu looked at the sky: "I don't want it to be so late, Xuan'er went to the backyard to say goodbye to your stepmother and go back early, after all, going back too late is not decided, and going back too late will damage your reputation." ”

Liu Xuan said yes, and gave the originally prepared gift to Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu took it and opened it to see that it was the only book of the famous family, and looked at Liu Xuan's eyes even more lovingly: "Xuan'er has a heart." ”

Liu Xuan said yes, and then went out of the study with Liu Zhiqing.

Liu Zhiqing took Liu Xuan to Liu's mother's residence in the backyard, and Liu's mother was disgusted that Mrs. Liu had left Liu Xuan for too long, and ordered the maid to hand over the prepared gift to Liu Xuan, and then said something to Liu Xuan, and then personally sent Liu Xuan out of the gate of Liu's mansion.

Mother Liu took Liu Xuan's hand in front of the door and said goodbye to her: "Today's time is short, I haven't had a good chat with you, more than ten years ago I made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva hoping to have another daughter, and now you have become my righteous daughter is also a wish, tomorrow I want to go to Tianxiang Temple to make a vow, can you have time to go with me?" ”

Liu Xuan naturally said that she was free, and Liu's mother took Liu Xuan's hand and reluctantly said goodbye to her for a long time, so she sent Liu Xuan to the carriage and left.

The carriage drove on the road for a while, Liu Xuan asked Qiu Ju to take a look at the things sent by Liu's mother, what Liu's mother gave to Liu Xuan was a delicate box, Liu Xuan opened it and looked surprised, this box was full of jewelry, Mrs. Liu is Qingliu is only a little rich, this box full of jewelry and jewelry are all high-quality, but I am afraid that it is still Liu's mother's dowry.

Mrs. Liu and Mother Liu's attention to her made her a little apprehensive, she didn't think that she had much ability to treat the two of them like this, Liu Xuan understood very well in her heart, all this was because of Li Che, but what was Li Che's purpose in lifting her so high? And Deng Yu said that Li Che must have other plans to hand over all the properties of the Prince's Mansion to her, what are his plans?

Liu Xuan shook her head and decided not to think about it, she couldn't figure it out anyway, Li Che's every move had deep meanings, and she had already seen it very clearly.

After Liu Zhiqing sent Liu Xuan away, he turned around and went into the study room, where Mrs. Liu was waiting, and the father and son retreated left and right, and only then began to speak after making sure that there was no one around.

Liu Zhiqing was slightly puzzled: "Is my father's matter today a little too much?" ”

Mrs. Liu frowned: "How do you say this?" ”

"Father may not know something." Liu Zhiqing said: "Liu Xuan was drunk the night before, and the prince accompanied her for a night until the morning court did not leave, Long Yi once brought the prince's court clothes into Liu Xuan's mansion, but the prince insisted on going back to the prince's mansion to change the court robe, obviously not wanting Liu Xuan to be in front of everyone, and my father's decision today is not contrary to the prince's wishes?" ”

Mrs. Liu sighed and shook her head when she heard this: "You are still too young. ”

Seeing Liu Zhiqing's puzzled face, he slowly explained: "The prince took the initiative to mention that you should worship Liu Xuan, and at that time, my father knew that the prince wanted to give Liu Xuan a good background, so my father took the initiative to ask Ying to accept Liu Xuan as a righteous daughter, and raised Liu Xuan's identity higher.
