When Mrs. Xu hurriedly rushed to the Ding Mansion, the disciples of the Ding Mansion greeted her respectfully, but the people of the Xu family felt a little strange, and the disciples of the Ding Mansion seemed to know that they would come, but they felt that the attitude of the people of the Du Mansion was a little different?

But they can't say how it is different, anyway, it feels weird!

The Xu family didn't know that the Dufu disciples had received a notice from the general manager, and they would treat the Xu family as ordinary guests in the future, they treated outsiders politely and politely, but they were alienated.

Mrs. Xu Si didn't feel it at all, with the support of her daughter and maid, she hurriedly followed the housekeeper and daughter-in-law of the Ding Mansion to go inside, just walking, and found that it was not right.

"Hey, where are you going to take us? Feed! Calling you! Miss Xu angrily shouted to the housekeeper's daughter-in-law who led the way.

Although Mrs. Xu felt that her daughter had a bad tone, she knew that her daughter was in a bad mood, so she was just a subordinate anyway, and her daughter was angry so that she could dissipate her anger.

The daughter-in-law in charge stopped, turned back to Mrs. Xu and blessed Mrs. Xu, "I saw that Mrs. was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to tell you, our old lady knew that you were coming, and the special slave maid took you to meet her." ”

"No, no, not necessarily! No need! When Mrs. Xu heard this, her heart jumped suddenly, and she refused with a worried smile, "I'll just talk to our aunt and wife, and I won't bother the old lady!" ”

"You're so kind! O our old lady! These days, when we are in a bad mood, we hope that someone can come to the door and talk to her more. Unravel, unravel, alas! You don't know, our old lady took a vote of old sisters back to her parents' house that day, she wanted to show off, who let our cousin and grandmother husband and wife, that hand Danqing even the Gentiles said yes. ”

As he spoke, he led Mrs. Xu and the others forward, "But who knew that it would not be able to show off, but was frightened!" The housekeeper's daughter-in-law glanced at Mrs. Xu Si, and saw that she looked uneasy, and her smile was even bigger. Miss Xu snorted coldly. She is young, and since she entered Beijing, she has always heard people talk about Fan Anyang and Du Yunxun, but she has never seen Du Yunxun. But she knows Fan Anyang.

At home, I often heard her mother and aunt talk about her. Mrs. Ding naturally wouldn't say good things about Fan Anyang to her sister-in-law. The sister-in-law seized the opportunity to devalue Fan Anyang, so the spoiled Miss Xu had a bad impression of Fan Anyang, especially after seeing her. Let the little girl who thinks she is naturally beautiful and outstandingly hit hard.

Fan Anyang not only looks better than her, but her husband treats her better, thinking that King Lao Lu wanted to recruit him as his grandson-in-law, but he rejected him, which made how many married young women secretly envy and jealous, and how many daughters to be married wished that they could marry a husband like Du Yunxun.

When she first entered Beijing, Miss Xu was still young, but often listened to her sister-in-law and sisters envy and jealousy about it, when she got older, the handkerchiefs around her began to discuss marriage, many little girls took Du Yunxun's refusal to marry King Lu back then, knowing that her aunt married Fan Anyang's grandfather's family, everyone pestered her, wanting to know Fan Anyang's recent situation, or she could go to Du Mansion with her as a guest, etc.

Miss Xu was quite proud at first, because of this, she was very popular among her friends.

It's just that as the days go by, there are only a few old news to talk about, and they can't take them to Du Mansion as guests, get to know Fan Anyang, and gradually the aura of attention fades, and the people who originally scolded her are as light as water, which makes Miss Xu very uncomfortable, which is why she pays so much attention to her appearance, and is afraid of being looked down upon.

Today, she has been repeatedly hit and frustrated, and she has suffered family changes, so when she heard the daughter-in-law talk about Fan Anyang, she couldn't help but laugh, Mrs. Xu Si pulled her daughter embarrassedly, Miss Xu shook off her hand angrily, and yelled at her mother angrily, "What? I can't even laugh, huh? ”

Okay! Why not? But they are coming to the door to ask for help at this time, what if she laughs at the proud granddaughter of the master in front of other people's subordinates, what if she provokes people and refuses to help them?

Mrs. Xu will regret it very much, why didn't she teach her daughter some truths, so that she didn't know the times to make such a move at this moment when she was going to ask for help in a low voice.

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law handed the steps to their mother and daughter with a smile, "Mrs. Xu, don't be in a hurry to scold Miss Xu, I think it's because something happened at home that Miss Xu will be in a bad mood!" It's the slave's fault, and Miss Xu shouldn't be disliked. ”

"Humph! Count you as acquaintances. Miss Xu pursed her lips and snorted, the attitude of the housekeeper's daughter-in-law is still very gentle, and there is no change from before, but Mrs. Xu is very sensitive to feel that there is something different!

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law led them to walk in the verandah, because the wooden curtains on both sides of the verandah to block the rain were pulled down, they walked in the verandah, although they could not see the scenery outside, but they would not be wet by the rain, Mrs. Xu Si had been to the Ding Mansion so many times, this was the first time she had seen this thing, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.

But the housekeeper's daughter-in-law smiled and did not answer.

Miss Xu came less often than her mother, of course, she hadn't seen it, and when she saw that the housekeeper's daughter-in-law didn't answer her mother's question, she said mockingly, "Mother! Don't ask, do you? I've seen this thing in the county king's mansion, maybe they also learned it from the county king's mansion! ”

Mrs. Xu Si's intuition was not, but people didn't answer her, and they didn't refute her daughter's words, so she naturally didn't want to ask any more.

In fact, this wooden curtain was designed by Fan Anyang, and Ding's old house in Huzhou was the first experiment, not that no one had done it before, but it cost wood, and it took up space, and it was heavy, and there were people coming in and out of the verandah from time to time, in case it was too heavy to fall down and hit people.

As a result, Fan Anyang asked people to make wooden curtains, like the form of blinds in later generations, so that the wood could not be too heavy, so that the direction could be adjusted, so as to prevent the rain from falling inside, because it was light, even if it fell and hit someone, it would not hurt too much.

After Mrs. Ding entered Beijing, she asked people to move this set to use, and it was rolled up when there was no rain or snow on weekdays, so Mrs. Xu Si came many times and never saw it.

When I came to the main courtyard, I heard laughter from a distance, didn't it mean that Mrs. Ding was in a bad mood? So why did she smile so happily?

Mrs. Xu's mother and daughter looked at the housekeeper's daughter-in-law dislikedly, and when she explained, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law turned a blind eye and smiled at them, "Two please." ”

Mrs. Xu held her breath and walked into the main room with her head held high, and Miss Xu snorted heavily at the housekeeper's daughter-in-law before following her mother into the house.

As soon as their mother and daughter disappeared behind the curtain of the snow-green brocade magpie climbing the branch and spreading the curtain, a servant woman covered her mouth and leaned up with a smile, "Isn't the fourth master Xu all stripped of his official position and put down to the prison of Dali Temple, why are these mothers and daughters still so arrogant?" ”

"Sensei! If their mother and daughter really have clear brains, how could they instigate the third lady to calculate the sixth cousin and grandmother? ”

"Yes."

Inside the house, Mrs. Ding smiled when she saw Mrs. Xu Si coming in, "Mrs. Xu Si is here!" Have a seat! ”

Mrs. Xu Si thought that Mrs. Ding was trying to pinch Mrs. Ding, so she deliberately asked people to lead her over, in order to beat herself and Mrs. Ding, because she came to visit Mrs. Ding San, and she never came to Mrs. Ding to ask for peace.

Unexpectedly, people didn't mean this at all, "The third daughter-in-law of our family, who is not angry, was punished by me to go to the ancestral hall to recite scriptures and pray for the blessings of the family. ”

If you don't go early, don't go late, this pass will punish her to go to the ancestral hall to recite scriptures and pray for blessings? Is it intentional? Are you sure they'll be coming to the door today? No, no, no, so possible? The court was not opened by their Ding family, how could they know that the master would be arrested and dismissed today?

Old Mrs. Ding didn't have the spirit to deal with their mother and daughter, and before Miss Xu was about to shout regardless of it, she said, "Fourth Master Xu's affairs, our family can't help, and we don't have the ability to help, and I ask Fourth Mrs. Xu to understand, even if it's a relative, there are some things that can't help." ”

"No, no, no, old lady, don't say that, as long as you are willing, let the eldest master of the in-laws and the in-laws say a favor, you can, you can fish out my master, it will be done, otherwise, I will let my lord say that it was the master and the eldest lord of the in-laws who instructed him to do it." In the end, Mrs. Xu Si was already threatening with a fierce face!

"If you are not afraid that my master will shake out the secret matter of the Ding Mansion, you can just leave my master alone." Mrs. Xu Si sneered and looked at Mrs. Ding and said.

Old Madam Ding laughed twice, squinted at Mrs. Xu Si, daring to love that the family had already calculated, as long as something happened to Mr. Xu, all the responsibility would be put on Du Xiang and Mr. Ding?

Dingfu secrets? What other secrets do you have besides Ding Xiaoqing? It's just that he is entrusted by others to support his orphan daughter on behalf of the benefactor, what is there to see? Besides, the real Ding Xiaoqing has already entered the ancestral grave, and the fake Ding Xiaoqing has also married Dongjing as a wife, even if the Xu family really talks about it, it will not have any impact on Master Ding's career.

"Fourth Mrs. Xu is talking about my thirteenth granddaughter?" Old Madam Ding smiled lightly, "What kind of secret matter is that?" Do you think that the emperor didn't check on my son before he reused him? "It was never the Ding family who wanted to hide it from the world back then, but Chu Xiuning, who gave birth to a daughter out of the wall, and now Chu Xiuning has long since died! Who cares about that?

Besides, Chu Xiuning had reconciled and separated before his death, and was deposed as a concubine, and his reputation couldn't be worse, the reason for hiding it from others at the beginning had long since ceased to exist, and he used this matter to blackmail the Ding family? Old Madam Ding felt that Mrs. Xu's brain was really not very good!

In the warm pavilion on the side, Mrs. Ding San was depressed and shrunk in the ebony official hat chair, Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Ding Si accompanied her, seeing her face was discouraged, she couldn't help but sigh, this secret matter must have been told by Mrs. Ding San to her sister-in-law, but the two of them did not have a high vision, and they thought that they had mastered the handle of Ding's mansion, so they kept it as the last life-saving rope, but they didn't know the changes in the current situation and the changes in personnel, this so-called handle has long lost its effectiveness.
