If you want to leave the house, of course, you can't hide it from Xiao Zou.

Zou said with a smile: "Zheng'er and Jinniang have grown so big, and they haven't seen them back to the old mansion yet." While I'm free today, I'd like to take them back to see it. ”

I just politely refused the family affair yesterday, and today I want to go back to the Zou family's old house. The next step is to move out of the Hou Mansion!

Xiao Zou was so shrewd that he guessed Zou's intentions almost immediately, and he was secretly angry in his heart. But he didn't show it at all, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I blame my negligence, I should have accompanied my eldest sister back to my parents' house to have a look." The day when Sister Yu'er will leave the pavilion is approaching, I am busy writing invitations and preparing for the banquet, so I don't have time to accompany you to the Zou family's old house. ”

When Xiao Zou said this, Zou suddenly felt a little apologetic. Xiao Zou is so busy, she should always stay and help. It doesn't hurt to go back to the old house after a while.

Zou was about to open his mouth when Xu Jinyu's voice rang out: "Aunt is so busy, don't worry about us." We're going to go back and have a look today. ”

Zou had no choice but to follow Xu Jinyu's voice and said: "What Jinniang said is that we are already embarrassed that we can't help, so why are you embarrassed to let you accompany us out of the house again." ”

Xu Zheng also smiled: "We must come back before dark." ”

When it came to this, Xiao Zou couldn't stop it anymore, so he had to respond with a smile.

As soon as the three of Zou's mother and son left, Xiao Zou's face suddenly became gloomy, and coldness flashed in his eyes. After a while, he ordered: "Hanyu, you send the little guy in the mansion to send a letter to the prince and ask him to go back to the mansion today." And he said that I had something important to counsel with him. ”

Hanyu has always been clever, and immediately retreated.

As for what "important things" are, this is not something she can inquire about

The three of Zou's mother and son took the carriage and left the Hou Mansion.

Xu Jinyu lifted the corner of the curtain from time to time to look out.

In the past, when I left the mansion, most of them were with Xiao Zou's family, or they were in the same carriage with Ji Yu and them, and they always had to pose like a beautiful lady and be restrained everywhere. Today, there are only three mothers and sons, but they are much more casual.

Xu Zheng also came over, and the two brothers and sisters talked and laughed, which was very pleasant.

Zou saw that the two brothers and sisters were so happy, and they also felt happy in their hearts. The slight uneasiness that was originally caused by annoying Xiao Zou quickly dissipated.

"Mother, how far is the Zou family's old mansion?" Xu Zheng smiled and asked, "It's been more than half an hour since we came out." ”

Zou replied with a smile: "Soon, turn right in front and you'll be there." ”

Xu Zheng glanced at it and said with great interest: "There is a very famous restaurant near here, called Dingxiang Building. I came with Ji Hao and them a few days ago. Let's go to the Zou family's old house first, and then go to Dingxianglou for dinner at noon. ”

Xu Jinyu winked playfully: "Then this lunch will be invited by the eldest brother." ”

Xu Zheng grinned: "Don't talk about a meal, it's a lifetime of food, and the eldest brother can afford it." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zou smiled and glanced at Xu Zheng: "Jin Niang will marry someone in the future." Where do you need to worry about it, big brother. ”

Xu Zheng smiled disapprenosingly: "Even if my sister gets married, I, the eldest brother, will not let go." ”

Xu Jinyu listened very heartwarmingly, and smiled sweetly: "Big brother is so good to me." ”

There will never be a second man in this world who will treat her so wholeheartedly. Even if he has a husband in the future, he probably won't treat her like the eldest brother without principle!

Wait, when I think of my husband, why does a handsome and cold face automatically appear in my mind

Xu Jinyu's whole body chilled, and quickly expelled the uninvited face from his mind

Soon arrived at the old house of the Zou family.

This is a large mansion with five entrances. It is naturally far worse than the Weining Hou Mansion and the Anguo Mansion, but in the inner city of Bianliang, where every inch of land is expensive, there is such a house, and it is more than enough for a family of dozens to live.

Since Zou's brother went to Shandong, the old mansion has been idle. Only an old butler and a few subordinates were left to guard.

The old housekeeper opened the door himself, saw the Zou family, and knelt down tremblingly: "The slave has seen the eldest lady." ”

This long-lost familiar title made Zou sigh and feel nostalgic, and he hurriedly helped the old housekeeper himself: "Steward Zhao, hurry up and be polite." ”

He said to Xu Jinyu's brothers and sisters: "When I was not out of the cabinet, he was the housekeeper of our Zou family. He grew up watching me. The two of you will see Steward Zhao in the future, but you can't be lazy. ”

The two brothers and sisters immediately responded and called Steward Zhao in unison.

Steward Zhao is almost sixty years old this year, his hair is gray, and his body is quite healthy, but his eyesight and ear power are not as good as before. led the three of Zou's mother and son all the way into the inner hall. He also instructed the maid to bring tea.

Xu Jinyu quickly glanced at the inner hall, the furnishings were indeed a little old, but they were very clean. It can be seen that the subordinates are not lazy, and they are diligent in cleaning every day.

The masters are not in the mansion, and the only one who can gossip with the Zou family is Steward Zhao.

Zou smiled and said to Steward Zhao: "I have been back to the capital for a few months, and I have been living in the Weining Marquis Mansion. Today, I specially brought their two brothers and sisters back to have a look. Zheng'er plans to participate in this year's autumn festival, and has to have a quiet place to read and study. I've already asked someone to send a letter to my eldest brother, and maybe I'll be back for a few days soon. ”

Steward Zhao hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't worry, eldest lady, the servants will lead them to clean up inside and out in the past few days." You can come back whenever you want. ”

Zou nodded with a smile.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zou led his children around the old mansion again, and soon it was noon.

Steward Zhao was about to be busy with Zhang Luo's lunch, and Xu Zheng smiled and said, "Steward Zhao doesn't have to be busy. We don't have lunch here. Dingxiang House is nearby, we plan to go to Dingxiang Building. ”

Dingxianglou is famous, of course Steward Zhao has heard of it, and he no longer keeps it, and enthusiastically sends the three out of the house

From the old house of the Zou family to the Dingxiang Building, it is just a time for a cup of tea.

Xu Zheng got out of the carriage first, and then thoughtfully helped Zou and Xu Jinyu to get out of the carriage.

The little guy who greeted the guests in front of Dingxiang Building saw the luxurious carriage with the mark of the Marquis of Weining's Mansion with sharp eyes, and immediately greeted him: "Please come in the guest officer, there is a private room on the second floor." ”

While greeting politely, he secretly raised his eyes to look at the beautiful girl beside the boy.

Xu Zheng was a little unhappy in his heart. But with Xu Jinyu's beauty, as long as she appears in front of people, it is normal to attract men's attention.

It's not just this guy who runs the hall, but also a few men who came over there

Wait a minute! Why are the two in the lead so familiar? R1152
