"You said Du Hengxue was looking for relatives?" Long Xiangye Town is bored, and he is still very interested in these things about men and women marrying.

Xiao Taihe raised his long eyebrows, a pair of peach blossom eyes with a smile, and said: "Sister Xue'er has a gentle temperament, I heard that Aunt Fang said that she wanted to choose a good family and marry her." After speaking, he sighed, "It's a pity, ......"

Long Xiangye heard what Xiao Taiji meant, opened his mouth for a while, and reprimanded in a low voice: "You quickly put away that mind for me!" - What's so good about the women of the Du family? One or two are going to marry into my Xiao family! I don't want her, no matter how good she is, I don't want her! ”

Xiao Taiji was a little unwilling, and said softly: "Mother, what's the matter?" It's not a family swap. Of course, changing relatives makes people look down on ......" and sisters marrying brothers at the same time is a good story.

Long Xiangye snorted, closed his eyes and shook his feather fan, and said in a low voice: "I know your thoughts, and I complain that the kiss I ordered for you is not in line with your heart." Isn't it just a few pieces of silver? Don't be so shallow-eyed, our Xiao family has a lot of money, and we don't need to point to our daughter-in-law's marriage to live. ”

Xiao Taiji heard that this was a little interesting, and hurriedly said: "Mother, you still love me." But the eldest brother ......"

"Your eldest brother is a ghost in the air. After a long time, he will know that only his mother and brother are reliable, and other people are unreliable. "Long Xiangye is confident.

Xiao Taiji was still a little uneasy, and muttered: "You can't say that." Gu Yun and his wife are one, or the eldest brother has a child, how can they be of the same heart as us? ”

Long Xiangye opened his eyes and knocked Xiao Taiji's head with a feather fan. "I look pretty smart on weekdays, but now how can I say such a thing? Your eldest brother has a child, so naturally it is our Xiao family. These family wealth are ours, and of course they have a share. After speaking, he was not at ease, and continued to knock Xiao Taiji, "Your share, don't worry, I will naturally get it back for you." but your eldest brother's share of the children is theirs. You can't make up your mind. ”

Xiao Tai and shouted to hit the sky. "Mother, wronged, when did I think about my nephews' share? I'm just worried that my eldest brother won't want to talk to us about the family property right now. Then he had children. Wouldn't it be even more reluctant? ”

Long Xiangye choked. He shrank his feet back, and said for a while: "Your eldest brother is not that kind of person, you can watch it." If not. I'll let you break up in advance. - If your eldest brother can divide half of your property, I will let you divide the family. ”

Xiao Tai and Hehe smiled, "Mother, I don't want half of the family property as much, as long as I give me thirty percent, I will be enough." When the time comes, my mother and I will move out of Lu together, our mother and son will live happily, my mother is naturally the old feudal lord of my family, who dares not to listen to my mother, I will sell her to Liaodong! ”

Long Xiangye ironed in his heart, smiled and knocked Xiao Taiji's shoulder with a feather fan, "Your mouth, it's like smearing honey, you know how to coax your mother to be happy." You said it so lightly, your daughter-in-law will be unhappy. ”

Xiao Taiji pursed his lips disdainfully, "How dare she?!" If she dares to be disrespectful to her mother, I will divorce her! ”

Long Xiangye nodded, "With your words, I'm relieved." Said a little sadly, "If your eldest brother can say this to me, how can I be angry every day?" ”

Xiao Taiji hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my eldest brother must think the same thing in his heart, but I am worried that if I say it, the people of the Xu family will be unhappy." Mother, you also know that the Xu family is in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and we can't afford to mess with it. ”

"Really? Is your eldest brother really in the way of the Xu family? - If this is the case, I want to urge him to make contributions as soon as possible, and in the future, he will be promoted to the rank of knight, so that the three of us mother and son will not have to look at other people's faces. Long Xiangye nodded frequently, feeling that he had found a very reasonable explanation for Xiao Shiji's behavior, and pondered for a while how to vent his anger for Xiao Shiji. He was angry with the Xu family outside, and he had to make up for it on Du Hengshuang, right?

In the courtyard of the main house, Chen Yuejiao got up, bit her lower lip and thought for a long time, but still rubbed up the steps, and when she was at the door, she was stopped by two little maids who had just left her head, and smiled and curtled her knees, "Miss Cousin, please allow us to go in and pass it on." ”

Hearing the words of the maid outside, he knew that Chen Yuejiao was here, and Long Xiangye and Xiao Taihe kept silent about what they had just said.

Long Xiangye even secretly gave Xiao Taiji a look and warned him not to be blinded by lard.

Xiao Taiji understood the meaning of Long Xiangye, knowing that the road was not passable, and then thinking about his own family, he also had a lot of money, so why bother to toss his muscles and bones for a little dowry silver, and he kept this matter in his mouth.

"I'm tired, you go down first. - Let the maid come and beat my legs, I will sleep for a while, and wait for your eldest brother to bring in the banquet in the evening, and there will be a family banquet. Long Xiangye instructed, "Let Miss Biao go back and rest, and we will have dinner together at the family banquet in the evening." ”

Xiao Taiji slapped his forehead and said "Ah", "I almost forgot." Mother, at the family banquet in the evening, do you want to invite a few female ancestors to come in and talk about books? Or ask a few who can do the whirlwind? ”

Long Xiangye closed her eyes slightly, reclined on the Luohan bed, waved her hand and said, "It's just the female ancestor, what do you want those dancing dancers to do?" I didn't have to take your sister ......."

Xiao Taiji said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is a good player, why don't you let your sister-in-law dance a song for your mother when the time comes?" ”

Long Xiangye opened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Taiji, he wanted to say yes, but thinking of Chen Yuejiao's words just now, it seemed to be reasonable.

If he takes care of Du Hengshuang again, he will push his eldest son farther and farther, wouldn't it be as the women of the Du family wanted?

I don't have a son, so I let my daughter rob someone else's son.

Hmph, it's shameless......

The midday sun shone in through the dark red brocade maplet. The mallet was covered with a fine veil of shadows, which filtered the sunlight and fell on the side of Luohan's bed.

Long Xiangye opened his eyes and looked at this rich and noble hall, his mood calmed down again, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, he lowered his eyes again, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The little maid knelt down and gently pounded Long Xiangye's leg with a beauty.

Long Xiangye shook the feather fan in her hand, closed her eyes and said, "Your sister-in-law is the one who wants to take care of the outer courtyard, you let her dance for everyone to relieve boredom." Doesn't it make your eldest brother's face unbearable? You're such an adult, and you're still frizzy, and you don't know if you offend people sooner or later! ”

Xiao Taiji hurriedly slapped his face twice, and said with a smile: "You should fight, you should fight!" Who made you only have a mother in your eyes and no sister-in-law?! - You have to remember that now this family is in charge of the sister-in-law. ”

Long Xiangye felt extremely uncomfortable, but he couldn't help but didn't refute, just nodded and said, "It's good if you know the way." Get out of here, I'm very tired today. You guys just give me a headache. ”

Xiao Taiji hurriedly got up and said goodbye. I opened the curtain and went out.

Standing under the porch at the door, Xiao Taiji looked at the pavilions and pavilions of the Xiao family with his hands behind his back, which were full of green trees and flowers. Exhaled deeply. before returning to his yard.

Kwan had just finished assigning the kitchen work. Sitting in the main room of his house, he did some needlework with the maid.

Xiao Taiji looked a little impatient, sat down beside her with his hands in his hands, and said a little cowardly: "I remember that there are needlemen in our family." What do you do to get your mother-in-law to do needlework? ”

Guan is not from a rich family after all. Although her father Guan Zheng made a lot of silver, but because it was stolen goods, it was not easy to take them out as a façade, and most of them were secretly transported back to his hometown to hide, leaving only a few silver in the capital.

Guan has grown up since he was a child, and he has not experienced real wealth, so he doesn't understand this, and completely relies on Chen Yuejiao to give advice behind his back.

As far as the current Chen Yuejiao is concerned, she is first Du Yu, Xiao Shiji's original wife, and then Chen Yuejiao, Xiao Shiji's house-filling steproom.

Besides, Xiao Shihe will be the Marquis of Zhu Guo in four years, the wealth of the Xiao family is even more than now, and she naturally understands how to take care of the backyard of the powerful family. But the housekeeping skills she taught her cousin Guan were more in line with Guan's identity, and she didn't want to teach them any deeper. - She didn't want to teach her apprentices, and when the time came, she would starve her master to death.

If Guan really does everything well, then what should she Chen Yuejiao do?

When Chen Yuejiao defected, Xiao Shiji was already the Marquis of Zhuguo. By the time she married Xiao Shi and did house-filling, it was more than ten years later. As soon as she got into charge of housekeeping, she compared this second brother and sister.

These things, Du Yu knew clearly from Chen Yuejiao's memory.

She had already made up her mind that before she Chen Yuejiao did Xiao Shiji's house-filling, she would help Guan Yunlian gain a firm foothold in the Xiao family, but she would not teach her unreservedly.

Therefore, when Guan proposed to eliminate needlework and save some housekeeper expenses, Chen Yuejiao did not persuade her to say a word, but just nodded her head in praise.

Now that Xiao Taiji said that people should use needles and threads at home, Guan was a little panicked and muttered: "I think the cost is too big." There were only a few people in the family, and the needlework man had to support them for almost two hundred taels of silver a month, so I was the master to release them from the house. ”

"What?!" Xiao Taiji was surprised, "You released it?!" When did you let them out? They all signed a death contract, how much money did you let them pay for their lives? ”

Guan Shi was even more panicked, and helped the maid to stand up, his whole body trembling like chaff, "...... Silver...... What ransom money...... I thought about letting them out, which would be better for the eldest brother's official voice. ”

Xiao Taiji stood up with his hands behind his back, looked at Guan Shi with a gloomy face, couldn't speak for a long time, coughed after the last moment, and went to lie down in his own room to rest.

Guan Shi was very flustered, and said in a loud voice: "Go and ask Miss Watch!" Tell Miss Cousin to come over quickly! ”

Chen Yuejiao soon followed Guan's mother-in-law in, curtsied at her with a smile, and asked, "Cousin, what's wrong?" ”

Guan Shi talked about the removal of needlework and thread.

Chen Yuejiao's eyes widened and she looked puzzled, "Cousin, you're right about this." How can a cousin-in-law talk like that? ”

Guan felt that Chen Yuejiao had said that she was in her heart, and pulled her to cry.

Chen Yuejiao comforted her painlessly, and said with a smile: "Cousin, tonight is a family banquet." It's better for my cousin to find my sister-in-law, admit my mistake in private, and let my sister-in-law help make up for it. ”

Let her go to Du Hengshuang to be low and small, and Guan's face couldn't get over it.

Chen Yuejiao just wanted to snort in her nose, and endured it for a long time before she said, "Cousin, if you want to get these people back, you need a lot of silver." Your housekeepers are all hats with their heads now, where can you have extra money to bring them back?! ”

As soon as he talked about silver, Guan immediately felt that his waist was a little softer, so he listened to Chen Yuejiao's words and asked people to stare at the gate, as long as Du Hengshuang came back, he would immediately report to her.

Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe only returned from Xu's house in the evening.

On the way back to Xiao's house, he met an envoy from the overseas Françaine country who came to Chang'an to worship, and the group was full of people, as many as three or five hundred people, crowding the streets of Chang'an City.

Du Hengshuang was curious, lifted the curtain to take a look, and asked, "Who are these people?" It looks weird. "They are all high-nosed and deep-eyed, blue-eyed and yellow-haired, similar to the monsters drawn in the notebook.

Xiao Shiji also looked at it.

Because the car couldn't go, it stopped on the side of the road, and Xiao Shiji went to investigate.

The man went for a long time and came back and said, "Uncle, I heard that the envoy of the French country of Haixi came to meet His Majesty. ”

Française is a familiar name.

Du Hengshuang suddenly felt a little sad, lowered his head, leaned against the wall of the car, closed his eyes, and remembered his father Du Xiancheng. He died on the sea route to France. (To be continued......)
