Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Visitor

Grandma Xianglian sat idle for a while, and then went home to collect beans.

"Jiao'er, it's okay." After Grandma Xianglian left, Li took Xue Jiao's hand and said distressedly, "In the future, she will scold her mother, and it will be natural if she is angry, but it's you, don't collide with her." In case the reputation of unfilial piety spreads, it will not be good for you. ”

"Mother, I'm fine, but no matter what you do, my milk still thinks you're bad." Xue Jiao's smile was light and light, and a trace of distress flashed in her eyes.

Li listened to Xue Jiao's words, and thought of the pillow that was crushed by Mrs. Chen, and his eyes were gloomy.

"Xue Yao is here, knowing that the Sun family is proposing to your brother, I don't know if there will be any incident." Li said worriedly.

Speaking of Xue Yao, Xue Jiao thought of the situation in Qingfeng Village that day, and thought of what Grandma Xianglian said in the morning when she saw Xue Yao and a man sitting in the carriage, she was faintly uneasy.

I can't help but think about it, in this era, the reputation of a girl is the reputation of the girls who represent the whole family. The people of Xuzhou Mansion are simple, and women can go out like men, but it does not mean that they do not pay attention to women's reputation. If there is any turmoil in Xueyao, Xue Ruxue Jiao, Xuewa Xuemiao, and even Jinghao's future marriage will be affected.

“…… Is this Xue Yao's sister's home? ”

Xue Jiao walked out and saw that it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-grown child, wearing a cyan straight jacket and a square scarf.

"This sister, is this Sister Xueyao's home?" The kid made a gesture at Xuejiao.

Li Shi heard the shout and walked out, and before Xue Jiao could answer, Xue Miao walked out of the upper room and frowned at the kid and said, "Who is looking for my sister." ”

"It seems that it is Sister Xueyao's home, and Sister Xueyao is not here." The half-sized boy waved at Xue Miao, and asked with a smile.

"Who are you?" Xue Miao didn't answer, staring at the kid with her eyes.

Xue Jiao only felt that this kid was familiar, and suddenly thought that outside the gate of Qingfeng Village that day, Xue Yao took a carriage, and the little guy leading the carriage was the kid in front of him.

"Who's looking for me." Xue Yao walked out, had already changed into a homely autumn fragrance color jacket, saw the bluff, and immediately said with a smile on her face, "Oh, isn't this Shuangshou?" What are you doing here. ”

The little guy named Shuangshou smiled and didn't speak, and ran out of the gate with a smoke. There was a richly decorated carriage parked outside the gate, exactly the same as the carriage that Xue Yao had ridden at the gate of Qingfeng Village that day.

Xue Jiao has a plan in her heart, and it seems that she is from Ding Mansion.

Xiao Shuangshou opened the curtain through the carriage and whispered something inside, then bent down, only to see the carriage curtain open, and a man in dark shoes stepped on Shuangshou's back.

With a fair complexion, a pair of peach blossom eyes, a little bit of hair, and a straight jacket of ice blue silk, he was the man who talked to Xue Yao in Qingfeng Village that day.

Seeing such a noble man coming to the house, Xue Miao slipped into the inner room. Xue Jiao looked at Xue Yao, only to see that her eyes were full of surprise, and then her face turned red and shouted: "Master, how did you find your home." ”

"Ye is worried about you, come and see you." Xiao Shuangshou said flatteringly, and was glared at fiercely by Xue Yao.

Seeing a strange man coming in, Li quickly pulled Xue Jiao into the north room, and drove Xue Rujinghao, who was standing at the door, back to the house with Qi Ping.

After a while, I only heard Mrs. Chen shouting in the house for Li's tea.

Li walked out, and the fourth daughter-in-law, Zhang, was diligently pouring water with a teapot.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on in our family lately, it's a noble person." Zhang said quietly.

Xue Jiao ignored Li's eyes, and also entered the upper room and snuggled against the wall, and Xue Miao pouted proudly at her.

I only heard Xue Yao smile and said, "This master is the uncle of Dingfu, and he specially came to the house to have a look." ”

As soon as Mrs. Chen and the Zhao family heard that it was the uncle of the Ding Mansion, they stood up and wanted to salute.

Uncle Ding Fu waved his hand and said gently: "Don't be polite, Xue Yao is the right-hand man next to the old lady, the old lady can't eat and sleep well without her, I'll come for the old lady to see if she is doing well at home." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but feel a little proud, and Zhao's excited eyes turned red, so that the Ding family's uncle family could come to see Xue Yao and see how faceful Xue Yao was in front of the old lady.

"What are you talking about?" Xue Yaojiao said angrily, and waved her hand at the Li family and the Zhang family who served the tea: "Don't be busy with the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt, I naturally know that the master doesn't drink the tea at home." As he spoke, he went into the house and took out a box of Wuyi rock tea to re-brew the water, and served it to Uncle Ding Fu with a lacquered blue and white porcelain cup, "Drink this, or the old lady appreciates my Wuyi rock tea, I know that you only drink Lu'an fragrant tea, so it's better than the big leaf tea at home, this is the teacup I use every day." ”

Li and Zhang looked embarrassed.

Mrs. Chen fumbled to open the cabinet at the head of the bed, took out the various fruits that Wen Yan had bought, and ordered Zhao to put them on the table.

"Don't bother, I naturally know what he eats." Xue Yao stopped Zhao with a smile, "If you go out of the house and eat indiscriminately, the old lady will scold again when she knows about it." As he spoke, he took out his own cushion and laid it out, and Uncle Ding sat down; Xue Yao took out his small hand stove inlaid with gold wire enamel again, took out two plum cakes into the purse, lifted the lid of the hand stove, burned the lid on it, and placed it on the table in front of Uncle Dingfu, and the room was full of fragrance for a while.

Li frowned, Xue Yao was too intimate with Uncle Ding's tone.

Xue Jiao looked at Xue Yao's cheeks full of glow, and then looked at the eyes of Uncle Ding Mansion looking at Xue Yao, and dared to conclude that the relationship between these two people was not ordinary.

“…… It's hard for your old lady, and she is still thinking about my girl, and you are ordered to come and see her. Mrs. Chen's happy eyebrows and corners of her eyes were full of smiles.

After Zhao was happy, he suddenly looked at Xue Yao silently as if he had thought of something. Whose uncle came to the house for a girl.

"My old lady likes Xueyao, and she also thinks about sleeping when she eats, and it is not good to let other girls serve in a frizzy manner, and now the old lady also said that as long as Xueyao serves, it is not uncommon for you to be a gold and silver man." Uncle Ding only looked at Xue Yao and smiled.

Xue Yao blushed and said, "It's rare that the old lady can afford me." ”

"Don't dare to say anything else, Xue Yao is dedicated, she didn't agree with her to be a slave before, but she said that it is not a way to be trapped in the mountains for the rest of her life, so she entrusted her teeth to the Ding Mansion, and it was her creation to be able to get the old lady's blue eyes. Second daughter-in-law, don't you say? Mrs. Chen said happily.

When Zhao saw Xue Yao drinking water from Master Ding Mansion with his own cup, he saw the clue, and when he observed that Xue Yao's face had been as delicate as a spring breeze, he understood in his heart. She was afraid that Xue Yao had taken the wrong path, so she had to reluctantly deal with Mrs. Chen, and said with a forced smile: "No, she can get the favor of the old lady, which can be regarded as a blessing." ”

Xue Yao lowered her head, smiling, and her face was like a peach blossom.

“…… My eldest grandson was able to go to the White Horse Academy to study thanks to the house. Mrs. Chen said happily, and ordered Zhao: "Qi Lin, always read, hurry up and let him come out to talk to the nobleman." ”

As he spoke, he shouted Chen Qilin in a loud voice.

Since the Sun family proposed to Qi An, Qi Lin felt that he was slapped in the face, and he didn't go out for a few days, studying in the back room every day, determined to compare Qi An to next year's spring.

Zhao entered the house and called Qi Lin out, Qi Lin has a sister who is a maid in Ding Mansion has always had low self-esteem in his heart, and he entered the White Horse Academy to borrow the power of Ding Mansion, he always felt inferior in his heart, so he didn't know what to say except to say hello to Uncle Ding Mansion. Uncle Ding told him to study hard and so on, and ordered the little servant to reward him with a jade pendant with a green color, and Qi Lin went to Xie to re-enter the house to study.

"My eldest grandson has a tender face." Mrs. Chen said proudly, "I only know how to study." ”

Uncle Ding Fu couldn't help but praise a few words, and Mrs. Chen asked Li to go to the field to call Old Man Chen and Chen Zichang to meet the guests, but was stopped by Uncle Ding Mansion.

“…… Just to come to see Xue Yao for the old lady, the old lady said that I would have given you half a month off, but I saw that the old lady was not in good spirits these days without your service, if the family is fine, go back early. Uncle Ding Fu said and stood up, "Seeing that it's not early, I should go back too." ”

Mrs. Chen stayed for dinner, and was persuaded by Xue Yao and said, "Master still has something, I'll send it away." ”

Uncle Ding ordered the little servant Shuangshou to take out ten taels of silver and give it to Mrs. Chen, who folded her hands and recited the Buddha several times.

Li took Xue Jiao back to his house, and when he saw Xue Ru and Jing Hao with a curious face, he couldn't help but say: "Is the flower embroidered ready, don't look out, hurry up and embroider." ”

"I met this man with my second sister, and I saw him last time in Qingfeng Village." Qi Ping said to Li.

Facing Li's suspicious gaze, Xue Jiao told the situation of Qingfeng Village last time, of course, concealing the details of Uncle Ding pinching Xue Yao's cheek.

Li frowned and quietly told Xue Jiao: "Don't talk nonsense. Glancing at Xue Ru and Jinghao, "I'm just telling you in vain, I don't think you will talk nonsense." He said to Qi Ping, "Ping'er don't mention it to the outside." ”

Cai sat at the door basking in the sun, and when he saw Xue Yao sending Uncle Ding Fu out, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth. Whose uncle can go to the countryside to visit a little girl and coax whom.

"What did the sister-in-law say?" Cai saw Xue Yao's back disappear from the yard and turned around and went to Xue Jiao's house.

"Watch the kids embroider." Li said.

"Oh, let me see, Jing Hao and Xueru's hands are so coincidental, see that this bird is about to fly." Cai praised.

Xue Ru brought a pestle, and Xue Jiao took a cushion from the back room and gave it to Cai Shi to lean on his back.

"Reasoning, I shouldn't have said that." Cai Shi looked at Xue Jiaoxue Rujing for three times, and then pointed to the upper room.

"Third sister, you are a straightforward person, you might as well say it directly if you have something to say." Li Shi looked at Xue Jiao and understood what Cai was going to say, "Xue Jiao also went to that house just now." It means that there is no need to avoid Sister Xuejiao when you speak.

“…… Xueyao is also older, I watched Uncle Dingfu come to our house today, it's not such a simple thing, who will come to see a girl. Cai pouted and said.

Li Shi didn't answer, sighed and said, "I heard that Xue Yao came back this time to discuss the matter of redemption with the family. ”

"Redemption? Whoever has the money, not all the money in the prince is in their hands. She went to be a maid, who let her go in the first place, our family didn't afford to support her, and she didn't go because she wanted to earn a future. Cai Shi looked at the upper room and said.

"Anyway, Xue Yao is the daughter of our Chen family after all." Li said.

"Who says it's not, she should pay attention, a big man came to see her, and I don't know how to arrange it outside. I looked at this master of the Ding Mansion to see her, could it be that I wanted to ......" As soon as Cai Shi looked up and saw Xue Jiao's bright eyes, he couldn't say anything about the concubine.

Li knew what Cai wanted to say, and his face was worried. Being a concubine is only a way for the family to take if the family really can't get by, if Xueyao is really accepted by the Ding Mansion, the relatives of other girls in the family will also be affected.

"If that's the case, sister-in-law, you let the eldest brother think of a way, the eldest brother is a talent after all, let him make a reason for his father, although his father is old, he is not as confused as his mother." Cai rubbed his stomach.

Li felt that such words were not good for Xue Jiao and Xue Ru to hear, and no matter how sensible the child was, it was a girl who had not left the cabinet, so she couldn't pollute their ears. After thinking about it, he changed the topic and said happily to Cai's family: "In the morning, the second aunt came to the house to sit for a while, saying that you are a child. ”

As soon as Cai Shi heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, and he threw away the previous topic and said: "The second aunt has a lot of knowledge, and she said that it must be true, and may God bless her as a kid." ”

The two of them talked about the child, and this conversation talked about the sun and the shadow of the west.
