However, even if they have now separated from the Xia Mansion, Xia Ruoxue is still their clan elder, and after all, they are still of the same bloodline as their father Xia Linxuan. When people come from the capital to worship their parents, there is no reason to receive them respectfully, which is the basic etiquette.

As soon as the three of them entered the hall, they saw a gorgeous lady bowing to the spiritual seats of Xia Linxuan and Donnie Yen, and Shuqing also stood behind her and followed. Two women dressed as big maids and two mothers-in-law dressed in blue silk stood aside and waited.

That lady should be Xia Ruoxue.

Xia Ruoxue's brothers all look like Mrs. Xia, thin, with slightly higher cheekbones, and they are suspected of being shrewd and mean. But Xia Ruoxue is more like her aunt, that is, the sister-in-law of Mrs. Xia, with a round and amiable face.

Today's Xia Ruoxue's clothes are also a sight to behold: she is here to worship her deceased relatives: a moon-white soft smoke skirt, with only some small blue flowers sprinkled on the neckline, cuffs and hem. A simple fallen horse bun is accompanied by two silk hairpins and a hollowed-out orchid sway, followed by a set of white pearl earrings and necklaces.

Shu Yao secretly sneered in her heart, this aunt is much smarter than the eldest uncle and the third uncle!

Xia Ruoxue inserted the incense into the incense burner, and rushed over with tears to hug Shu Yao and Shuwen: "Yao girl? Brother Wen? ”

Shu Yao's eyes were fast, and he quickly pulled Shuwen to "hide" behind Shujie.

Xia Ruoxue's eyes flashed sharply, she withdrew her hand in embarrassment, stood up and looked at Shujie, her eyes full of grief and concern: "Are you Brother Jie?" I am your great aunt, poor child, and my aunt has come to see you. ”

Shujie bowed: "Thank you!" Come all the way from the capital, you have a heart! ”

Since he accidentally discovered that practicing the internal force of breath in the mahogany box is particularly efficient and gets twice the result with half the effort, Shujie has to ask Shu Yao to put him in the mahogany box every night to practice for half an hour, if Shuwen falls asleep, he will bring Shuwen in to sleep, and Xiao Liang and Huohuo often go in together.

Anyway, as long as Shujie's house is closed, whether it is Mother Liu, Aunt Mei, or the eldest girl Xiutao, they will not knock on the door and disturb them, because they are told that the person who practices martial arts is interrupted when practicing internal strength, and if they are not careful, they will go crazy.

I don't know if it's the infiltration of the aura in the mahogany box, plus the things that have been spiritualized by eating and drinking every day, Shujie's five senses are extraordinarily sensitive, and the flashing color in Xia Ruoxue's eyes just now was captured by him, which made him very dissatisfied. In Shujie's heart, his younger siblings are more important than his own lives, how can he tolerate anyone threatening and angry towards them?

Xia Ruoxue saw that she was so sensational, but the three of Shujie looked extremely polite and detached, and even didn't even call "aunt" until now, she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and annoyed, but there was no show on her face: "Brother Jie, I am your aunt, I naturally feel sorry for you, and I am willing to do anything for you." God is pitiful, my second brother and sister-in-law just left your three children behind, I ...... I...... It's uncomfortable to think about, alas, I don't know how many tears have flowed these days. ”

Shujie still bowed respectfully and politely: "I'm tired of you"

Xia Ruoxue forcibly suppressed her impatience: "You kid, why are you so polite?" Come, Yao girl, Brother Wen, my aunt has brought you a lot of things, they are the most fashionable things in the capital. ”

Shu Yao and Shu Wen shook their heads, still hiding behind Shu Jie. In fact, Shu Yao was not afraid of Xia Ruoxue, but she didn't want to talk to her.

Shuwen has always been in the same breath as his twin sister, and seeing Shu Yao like this, he naturally didn't want to deal with Xia Ruoxue.

Shu Qing couldn't help but feel a little disheartened when she saw that Shu Yao and the three of them had such an attitude towards the aunt with the highest status in the family today, it seemed that she was frightened by her father and third uncle, and she was completely alienated from the people in Xia Mansion, so did she still have any hope of befriending them?

Xia Ruoxue didn't expect these three children to be so difficult: "You are so angry with your aunt, my aunt is very sad, I came all the way to see you." ”

Shuwen's face was cute: "This aunt, we don't know you, we haven't seen or heard of you." Our aunt is in Lucheng, and she often asks people to bring things to us, and we have seen it several times, you don't look like you. ”

Shu Yao also looked at her "innocently": "Do you know my mother?" Have you seen my mother? ”

Xia Ruoxue was speechless for a while, not knowing how to receive Shuwen and Shu Yao's words.

Shuqing hurriedly said: "The second aunt in Lucheng is the eldest aunt, the second lady of the Anguo Mansion, sister Yao'er, we are all a family." ”

Shu Yao blinked: "Sister Qing'er, you have said this several times. My eldest brother said, tomorrow when you enter the family tree, we are relatives, and you are my sister. ”

Xia Ruoxue raised her face: "Yao girl, Brother Jie, your father is the son of our Xia Mansion, the lotus root is broken, where can the blood relatives be broken?" No more such things in the future. Brother Jie, listen to your aunt's words, and go to tell the patriarch tomorrow that you must truly recognize your ancestors and return to your grandfather's branch. If you don't want to go back to Xiafu, my aunt will take you to the capital this time, and you will follow my aunt in the future. Brother Jie, filial piety comes first, you are a scholar, you should understand this truth, how can you not recognize your grandfather and uncle? ”

The corners of Shujie's mouth curved, and sure enough, his sister said that the eldest aunt was really here to enter the family tree tomorrow.

Xia Ruoxue saw that the expression on Shujie's face was a little relieved, and finally had a sense of accomplishment, and continued: "You are a sensible child, you should think of it, how can you do without serious elders in the family?" Uncle and aunt are the closest people in this world, and we are the only ones you rely on. My aunt came from the capital this time, firstly, to worship your father, and secondly, to take you by her side to take care of you. ”
