The carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the annex.

From behind the light gauze tent, Xu saw the familiar figure of the seventh girl at a glance. For a moment, many thoughts were left behind. Just like when I was a child, I pulled her to me and asked her if she was warm and if she was eating well. As a mother, in the final analysis, it is always extra painful for the few small ones that come out of me.

I can see the four vermilion lacquer doors open side by side behind her, a pair of stone lions with jade bases in front of the door, and four pillars nearly two zhang high under the eaves, which are majestic. When you only see the courtyard, you know the wealth here. This is just a separate courtyard, which is no longer comparable to the Jiang family.

Xu Shi suddenly saw the seventh girl, and his excited mood gradually calmed down. In addition, there was a long, graceful and upright figure standing beside her, and Xu's heart sank. turned around and beckoned Tao's mother to take care of Tuan Tuan, take care of herself, get up, and go out with the curtains.

"Ma'am." The seventh girl stretched out her hand to help someone, her little face flushed, full of joy to see her family.

Xu Shi was helped to the ground by her, and as soon as he stood firmly, he didn't say a word, gently pushed her little hand away, and bowed to the person next to her.

The Seven Girls' Joy suddenly froze on her face, embarrassed, and her eyes wandered back and forth between him and his wife.

Mrs. acted like this, obviously treating him as an outsider, and she was extremely polite. There's an old saying called "stay away". Because of awe, they are alienated. I also want to know that it is not him who his wife respects, but the unattainable family background behind him.

She looked at him worriedly, but saw that his eyes were as calm as ever. It doesn't seem to be too diligent, just talk about etiquette and help a hand, turn sideways slightly, let the debut, invite the Xu family and someone, and go into the house first to talk.

Xu shook his head and was about to step up the stone steps, but suddenly, he felt that his cuffs were being hooked. When I buried my head in it, I found that a very decent child was nestled in her lap. raised Bai Shengsheng's little face, with a little timid uneasiness, and silently shook her hand.

"This is ......" Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, and his mind was on the two of them, where could he care about paying attention to others. In the blink of an eye, a child appeared out of nowhere, looking at this eyebrow, it looked a little like the son of the world.

Xu couldn't help but be shocked. Isn't it, it's the same as the rumored wandering of Wang Ji's sons, this son of Zhao Guogong's upbringing is also so unruly, and his wife got a concubine early before he passed the door?

The seventh girl is a human spirit, and when she saw that her wife's expression was wrong, she hurriedly stepped forward and took Brother Yi'er's other little hand, and touched his head with a smile. "This is the eldest aunt and grandmother of the Guogong Mansion, married to the sister-in-law of Mrs. Guan in Youzhou, called Brother Yi."

Hearing her say this, Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. I was suspicious that this child was from the inner courtyard of the prince, but now I know that she is too careful, but it is not good to keep a straight face. Finally soft-hearted to Xiao'er, Xu squeezed out a light smile, and Brother Yi shook her hand, just like the mother and daughter, with Brother Yi in the middle, and a few words on the road.

The Seventh Girl dealt with it cautiously, deliberately avoiding the words that were not very appropriate at this time. pointed to whether Lord Jiang and his wife were healthy and how their family was, and asked softly.

is still in another house, just to discipline her, but also behind closed doors, the Jiang family's housework. Outside, it's always bad to give her a look at her all the time, so she doesn't save face, and the Xu family is afraid that the Guogong Mansion will look down on her. Such a contradictory state of mind is difficult for those who are not parents to experience.

Even Mother Tao followed behind her wife, and she could feel that Mrs. always loved the girl. No matter how annoyed she was before, she really saw someone now, no matter how hard her mouth was, her heart was always soft.

"Auntie, Ming'er will take Brother Yi to cut the flower branches. Insert a branch in the mother's house, and also insert a branch in the aunt's mother's house. "It is said that children's minds are the sharpest. Brother Yi felt that although Mrs. Jiang did not smile as much as her mother's mother, Mrs. Jiang's hands were very soft. It is fragrant and warm to hold, just like my mother and aunt.

The seventh girl secretly praised in her heart, Mrs. Guan taught her well, and Brother Yi had a sweet mouth and helped her coax his wife.

Looking back and thinking about it again, that person deliberately took Brother Yi out of the door, isn't it, he already knows the importance of playing the emotional card? Turning a corner, she stole a glance back at him. But I don't know when, this person took Tuan Tuan over in his arms and held him in his arms. Mother Tao followed behind him, and what she saw was no better than him.

The corners of her mouth almost smiled. It's easy to remind yourself that your wife should not get carried away, so I suffocated it again.

She had guessed his plan a little. This man is too deceitful. The tough methods he is used to being outside are all restrained at the moment. To Jiang Yu, how could he ever see him so silent, modest and polite?

The group entered the flower hall, Mrs. Guan was here early, and unlike the prince, Mrs. Guan came forward, which was naturally another scene. smiled and called people to watch the seat to serve tea, and pulled Xu's again, so enthusiastic that she could not refuse, and took someone to sit on the main seat together. Instead, they squeezed him behind.

He also pushed the boat down the river, picked a circle chair and sat down, and the next was the seventh girl and Brother Yi who was sitting on her lap. There was only a carved strip between the two, and Brother Yi was lying on the small table where the light was visible, staring at the black eyes, staring at the Tuan Tuan in his arms.

Mrs. Guan pulled Xu to speak on one end, and secretly kept an eye on it. Judging by her generous and decent, although she is also shrewd, she is not one of those mean people who are bitter and difficult to get along with. There are so many worries in my heart, both of them are housewives, and they can always talk about one place when they start at will.

Like Mrs. Guan, the Xu family is also silently examining the married aunt and grandmother of the Zhao Guogong Mansion. Although I only talked about these three or five sentences, I have to say that whether it is the prince of the world or the beautiful Mrs. Guan in front of me, I really can't find fault with my words and deeds. It is very different from the assumption before entering Beijing, the high-ranking family will inevitably bring some eyes above the top, and there is no one in the eyes.

Xu's eyes caught a glimpse of Mother Tao standing behind the son of the world, tuantuan in the arms of that person, and she never woke up. From Brother Yi'er's dependence on him, it is easy to guess that the son of the world treats children quite patiently. At least, it's not as close to the king of Yama as rumored outside.

After using tea, it can be regarded as a formal face-to-face. Mrs. Guan also kept people soon, and only told the seventh girl that if Mrs. Jiang was short of money in the house, don't hide it. Otherwise, she has to make people laugh, her aunt and grandmother in the country's mansion are so careless even in hospitality.

The seventh girl took Tuan Tuan from his arms, he glanced at her, and took Brother Yi back to his side. After that, she followed Mrs. Guan's maid to the side room that had been cleaned up early in the inner courtyard with Mrs. Guan. He took Brother Yi and stood under the porch, and only asked Mrs. Jiang to rest. When Xu approached, he nodded at her, not showing how intimate he was. The first time he experienced this, he was also extremely cautious and did not dare to rush forward.

The wings are neat and clean. In front of the west window, a green potted plant was placed, and when the window drawer was opened, the soft light of the bright hall sprinkled in, and the warm breeze swept up the faint fragrance of thorn peach under the corridor.

The door was closed, and there was no one else in the house. Xu Shi sat down on the embroidery stool in the middle, and with a cold glance, the seven girls obediently lowered their hands, and took a few steps to get closer, knowing that they would not be able to hide today, so they would no longer be coquettish and denial.

Xu Shi had many words in his heart before and wanted to discipline her, but now, when the words came to his mouth and were in his mouth, they finally turned into a sigh with exhaustion.

"I didn't mention it before, but now there is something that you need to think about. It was you who went to explain it to the son of the world and made it clear. Or for your mother, refuse his kindness. With such a door as the Guogong Mansion, the Jiang family committee really can't afford it. Since ancient times, they have all paid attention to the right person. Not to mention that if you really enter the threshold of the Gu family, if you are bullied in the future, it will be difficult for the family to support you. is a family like his Gu family, how can it be easy to get the inner courtyard of Gaomen? Do you really want to live such a life of right and wrong, and you can't live a tangled life? Not to mention, even if the Gu clan admits this snatched family matter, if he wants to carry people to the backyard in the future, the Jiang family's family background will not be successful, and he knows that his mother will not want to see you. With no background and no dependence, how can you sit comfortably? ”

Marriage is a very realistic thing, and the concept of family has not been completely eliminated now. Some relatives asked, why is there so much difference between the mother of the demon girl and Xiao Qi's mother? Actually, it's not that bad. The demon girl refers to marriage, and there is no choice. What's more, there is a big difference between people in the way they treat people. Contact your parents, and then think about the parents of relatives and friends around you, at least around you, in comparison, the situation of each family is varied, where can it be the same.
