Chapter 44: Late Summer and Early Autumn

Emperor Zhou Hui suddenly asked with interest: "I remember, I still asked people to check, didn't I?" ”

Yes, definitely. Meng Hai thought to himself, when Emperor Zhou Hui asked him to investigate Xu Youshan, Meng Hai was still surprised in his heart, could it be that Emperor Zhou Hui was so ridiculous and confused that he even had to be the daughter of a powerful minister? But just when Meng Hai was worried and wanted to write to inform the adults in the door, Xu Youshan's information was presented by Meng Hai's subordinates.

And when Meng Hai read these materials, although the doubts in his heart were still there, but the worries were gone, it was really gone.

"Qi Sheng, what the Holy Lord said is that in the early years, the Holy Lord did order the old slave to check on the fourth young lady of the Xu family."

The things that Emperor Zhou Hui has been interested in over the years are not ordinary, and there are really only a handful of things that may make him remember, but this little daughter of the Xu family was actually remembered by Emperor Zhou Hui, which really made Meng Hai love Xu Youshan again.

"Then how old is this Xu family's concubine this year? Is there a marriage match? Zhou Huidi continued to ask.

"Qiqi Sheng, the old slave remembers that the fourth young lady of the Xu family should be four out of ten this year, but whether there is a marriage match, the old slave doesn't know." Meng Hai bowed and replied.

"Okay, you send someone to check it out now, and when you find it, you will go back and forth." Emperor Zhou Hui's interest seemed to rise suddenly, and he smiled mildly at Meng Hai.

"The old slave commands." But Meng Hai's scalp was numb again.

It's true that whenever Emperor Zhou Hui has any "wonderful ideas", he will speak like this. But whenever he speaks like that. There will always be many people who will suffer, but I don't know who it will be this time.

This Dragon Boat Festival, regardless of inside and outside the palace. The whole city of the gods was full of hilarity, at least on the surface. And with the end of the celebration of this Dragon Boat Festival, the Shendu has also been quiet for the time being, and the sunrise and sunset have begun to work every day.

In the Xu Mansion in Dongyang Lane, the separation of Zhai Yu, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen during the Dragon Boat Festival fortunately did not make a big deal in the end. Because the flow of people at that time was indeed in a carnival atmosphere, it was a bit too much, so the people they sent back to move the rescue troops in Xu Youshan had not yet struggled to Dongyang Lane. Xu Youshan and his party, who were moving along the flow of people, first ran into Xu Yourong and Nie Suhyun, Zhai Yu and Xu Mingwen.

But of course, when everyone meets, it is happy to be happy, but there is no less embarrassment. Therefore, in the end, it was Xu Mingwen who suddenly whispered to Xu Youshan. said that the two of them quietly returned to Dongyang Lane first.

And Xu Ming's proposal was also immediately accepted by Xu Youshan, so after the two of them set up words with Xu Mingming, because of Xu Ming's loss just now, Xu Mingcheng was worried about her, so after Xu Youshan and Xu Mingcheng asked Xu Mingcheng for help, Xu Mingcheng immediately agreed, so it doesn't matter what kind of heroic plan she and Xu Yourong have to save beauty.

Not to mention. Someone is tired of Nie Suhyun's side now, how can he know the southeast and northwest.

Therefore. Xu Yourong and all the things in the Dragon Boat Festival ended with Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen taking the lead in returning home, and Xu Yourong was overjoyed for a long time because of a chance encounter with Nie Suhyun.

……

……

In the early autumn pavilion, maple trees are planted all over the place, and in autumn, the fallen leaves are like blood, so the early autumn pavilion is also named after it.

Now, after the scorching summer, the coolness is gradually coming, and in late summer and early autumn, the maple trees in the early autumn hall are gradually turning red, and the upcoming fallen leaves are beginning to brew.

And this silent change was also quietly discovered by people passing by, Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan are also one of these discoverers.

"Autumn is coming."

"The maple leaves are starting to turn red."

Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan stood under the tallest and largest maple tree in the yard, looking up at the dense maple leaves together, not knowing what they were thinking. But the two of them came to the early autumn hall to greet Pei's family, but they were so abnormal that they did not enter the house, but stood in the courtyard and looked at the maple tree, which was a little wrong no matter who looked at it. But even though everyone could see that something was wrong with the two, no one dared to come forward to disturb them, and they all just stood quietly behind.

"Eldest sister, did you see her look just now?"

In addition to Xu Yourong and Wan'er and Yuedai beside Xu Youshan, Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan were talking in a volume that no one else could hear anymore.

"Of course I saw it, but something wrong with her may have been a long time, why don't I see her have other actions now."

"It's really bothersome that she's doing weird things like this that we don't understand the purpose, and I always feel like she's not that simple."

"Hmph, of course I know she's not that simple, don't you see that my 'father' is obedient to her bewitchment? The last batch of Ruyao porcelain sent from Yanzhou, my mother had just finished collecting it and letting people put it in the warehouse, and he sent it to the Green Silk Courtyard in a blink of an eye. It didn't even move my mother's parents, but he didn't say anything and sent it to the Green Silk Courtyard like this, and my 'father's heart' for others really moved me to tears. ”

Xu Yourong's feelings for Xu Xi's father, there really is no time to stop, and it will always accumulate in the hatred day after day. And the depth of such disgust is still something that others can't persuade, after all, since Pei's pregnancy with Xu Yourong, what Xu Xi has done is really comparable to a piece that people don't understand and don't want to understand, at least for Xu Yourong, she is like this.

And Xu Youshan, who knows Xu Yourong so well now, is also one of the people who doesn't know how to persuade her. Just like now, Xu Youshan is not easy to say, the batch of Ru kiln porcelain sent from Yanzhou, Pei Shi did not like it, and he was not very eye-catching. After all, not to mention anything else, if there are Pei Shi in it that is eye-catching, then not to mention picking out two pieces to keep for yourself, but Old Madam Qi and the two of them, as well as Xu Chen, Pei will definitely select the best first, and then send someone to them.

But now none of them have received this batch of Ruyao porcelain, which means that there is no Pei family in it. Otherwise, how could Xu Xi have the opportunity to send them to the Green Silk Courtyard to please his beauties?

In fact, I have to say that Xu Youshan is also from Xu Yourong's faction. For Xu Xi, he stood on the opposite side of Xu Chen. She also has no good impression of that young man, although she is not as memorable as Xu Yourong, but for this great governor of Tianfu who is respected by all the scholars in the world, Xu Youshan is also not welcome.

"So, there is only a thousand days to be a thief. How can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves. She always does things that make us scratch our heads, but she always makes us worry about whether she has other 'deep meaning'. For a long time, we didn't get knocked down by her first. I'll be exhausted first. ”

But then again, Xu Xi is Xu Yourong's father after all, although what he did also made Xu Youshan not want to understand him anymore, but it was not easy to say anything. So Xu Youshan could only divert from this topic and say.

"I know that you can't defend against thieves for a thousand days. But now my mother doesn't want the two of us to care about these bad things. We can only steal and investigate, but this is always a bit constrained. Xu Yourong frowned.

But when Xu Youshan heard what she said, she gave Xu Yourong a big roll of her eyes and sighed: "Eldest sister, can you not use words like 'stealing chickens and touching dogs' to ourselves." ”

"Uh~~~ In a hurry, in a hurry."

“……”

Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan talked for a long time in the courtyard of the early autumn pavilion, and they were often worried, so that others did not know why. But others are others, and they don't understand. But Wan'er and Yuedai don't understand. And seeing Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan frowning like this, the two of them were also unhappy. Even scolded Aunt Gu in his heart.

It turned out that just now Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan were on the way to ask Pei Shi for peace, they met Aunt Gu with the fifth master Xu Che.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss."

In this era, the identity of Aunt Ji Concubine is a half-slave, and this identity of a half-slave also leads to the fact that when Aunt Gu sees Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan, Xu Yourong and they don't have to salute Aunt Gu, but Aunt Gu has to salute Xu Yourong.

"Aunt Gu is very polite, please get up." Xu Yourong's smirk was seamless, making Xu Youshan look sideways at Aunt Gu and say.

"Miss Xie, Second Miss." And Aunt Gu's always cold but beautiful face still didn't have much expression, but she also let others find fault with the fifth master Xu Che and said, "Che'er, don't hurry up and salute the two sisters." ”

"Eldest sister, second sister." Xu Che obediently saluted Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan.

Xu Che, the fifth master of the Xu family, is three years old this year, the second child born to Xu Xi by Aunt Gu, and the brother of the fourth master Xu Yi and his mother. And Xu Che, who is three years old this year, has completely inherited the tradition of the Xu family in appearance, inheriting all the beautiful combinations of Xu Xi and Aunt Gu.

But Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan were looking at this person, whether in name or in fact, they should be called younger brothers, but they had mixed feelings.

Because no matter what Aunt Gu did to the Pei family, it should have nothing to do with Xu Che, the child, but he has a dead name on his body, Gu Yu. Xu Che is Gu Yu's child.

Therefore, after Xu Che saluted Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan with a childish face, when he innocently called his sister, they both pulled the corners of their mouths and wanted to respond to him with a smile. But no matter how hard Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan tried to bend a sincere arc at the corners of their lips, they didn't succeed. So in the end, after the two of them just gently called Xu Che "Fifth Brother", they both quickly moved their eyes back to Aunt Gu.

"Where are you going, Aunt Gu?"

"Back to the eldest lady, I heard that the master is a little tired these days, maybe he is too tired, so I personally cooked some ginseng soup and sent it to him." Aunt Gu said as usual, regardless of Xu Yourong's eyes that became a little cold after hearing this, but after glancing at Xu Yourong obscurely, she looked down at Xu Che who wanted to break free of her hand and get the summer flower on the side of the road.

"Oh, that's it, then I won't bother you, Sister Shan, let's go." But although Xu Yourong sneered in her heart after listening to Aunt Gu's last words, she has to say that over the years, Xu Yourong has become a lot more mature and introverted, so even if she is unhappy now, she will not be seen by her enemies, and she also smiled more and more beautifully.

"Yes, then Aunt Gu, we won't delay you, after all, we are also in a hurry to greet the eldest aunt, so that the eldest aunt will go to Princess Li's banquet for a while." Xu Youshan said suddenly at this time, and also told Aunt Gu that Pei was going to go to Princess Li's banquet in a while.

King Li, unlike Qi Pei, the king of Beiding, is a serious relative of the emperor of eight hundred, and he is also the first-class kind, holding great power, and he is also a confidant of Emperor Zhou Hui. And the princess of the king of thunder, Princess of the Thunderbolt, is of course also a first-class lady, and among the people who make friends with this kind of noblewoman, there will only be those who are right, such as the Pei family. Therefore, after Xu Youshan finished speaking, although Aunt Gu looked at Xu Chen with her eyes down, Xu Youshan and the others couldn't see Aunt Gu's expression clearly, but she was slightly stunned, and Xu Youshan and they could see it clearly.

Therefore, Xu Yourong also looked at Xu Youshan with great approval, and then stopped caring about Aunt Gu, and took Xu Youshan and left.

And because Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan didn't look back, they left Aunt Gu and left, so the two of them didn't see Aunt Gu's eyes when she raised her head and looked at the backs of the two of them, which made Xu Che suddenly cry.

……

……

Xu Mansion, Early Autumn Hall.

"Anyway, she must have a ghost." Xu Yourong remembered the look that Aunt Gu had just looked at her, and she always felt that something strange was in her heart.

"Of course, you can tell from the way she just looks at you." Xu Youshan groaned.

"yes, yes." Xu Yourong said excitedly: "The weird look she had when she just looked at me was really uncomfortable, you said we should tell my mother about it." ”

"This ......" Xu Youshan hesitated, after all, Pei's weekdays are annoying enough, because Pei's has to manage such a big family as Xu's house, so of course Xu Xi's backyard is also to be managed by Pei's, eating, drinking, Lazar, personnel transfer, everything has to go through Pei's nod. And Xu Xi's backyard is not so easy to manage.

Xu Xi has a lot of concubines, and there are really too many, even if they compete for him one by one, it will not be the end of the month in that month. And here, the eunuchs give each other beauties, which is not considered bribery. (To be continued......)
