Chapter VIII
Lan Xue opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, and sneered, "This slave doesn't know ...... either."
"Well, I knew it was useless to ask you." Wang Yunxiu pursed her lips dissatisfied, turned around and rummaged again, "Eh, the jade that my big brother gave me last time was good, I don't know if Yiyi will like it......"
When Zhao came over, Wang Yunxiu was looking at the pile of things on the table that had been turned out by himself, and his face was embarrassed, and when he entered the door, he saw the chaos in the room, and Mama Zhao was surprised, "What's wrong?" Why is there such a mess in the house? ”
Lan Xue saluted the Zhao family respectfully, glanced at her own girl, and replied, "The girl is looking at what is better for the cousin." ”
"Mother," Wang Yunxiu looked around her room, her cheeks slightly red and a little embarrassed, "I'll let Lan Xue clean up the room later." ”
Zhao looked Wang Yunxiu up and down, and saw that her hair was scattered and her disheveled appearance was a little embarrassed, and she wanted to laugh. Seeing Wang Yunxiu rubbing his hands quite embarrassed, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Mother......" Wang Yunxiu was angry.
"Now you know that you are ashamed? Lan Xue went to fetch a basin of water to wash the girl's face. Zhao took Wang Yunxiu's hand and sat down, "You are Yiyi's sister, no matter what you send, it is your heart, and Yiyi is happy in her heart." ”
"My daughter understands."
"Good," Zhao touched Wang Yunxiu's head, "Yiyi just lost his mother, and it is inevitable that he will be in a bad mood, if there is something wrong, you as a sister will have to be more patient and teach." ”
"I know that no matter what I do, I won't be angry."
"No, the country has national laws, and families have family rules, and if you make a mistake, you have to act according to the rules. When you made mistakes in the past, did your mother punish you? Zhao shook his head and taught, and sighed when he saw Wang Yunxiu as if he understood or not, "That's it, you're still young, you'll know when you're older." ”
Zhao instructed Mama Zhao beside her to lead the maid to clean up the girl's boudoir, and she herself groomed her daughter's makeup.
"Madam, there are three women outside the door, saying that they are relatives in the house."
"Whose relatives?" Zhao is a little strange, what kind of relative does this come to the door and introduce himself, the big house and the second room in the house are not separated, and now there is another niece living at home, where can she guess which family it is?
Did you know that the old lady was sick and someone from the Su family came to visit?
No, Zhao shook his head, although the old lady is the daughter of the Su family, but after the death of the old lady's father, her brother inherited the title, and the titles in the back house are all held by the old lady's sister-in-law.
Her sister-in-law is a calculating, and when the old lady led them to visit Su Mansion during the New Year's holidays, she looked like she was ignoring them, and fortunately her father-in-law sat in the position of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, plus the two children were fighting for a place in the court, so their faces were better.
The old lady also knew that the sister-in-law of the Su family was not waiting to see her, and when she met again during the New Year's holidays, she would only send someone to send some gifts to the past, and then send some back over there, and the two families did not communicate again.
Zhao twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, and a possibility suddenly popped up in his mind, could it be that someone from the Xu family came and wanted to take them back one by one?
This thought turned around in his mind, and Zhao's face immediately turned cold, "If the Xu family comes, just send it away in the future, and you don't need to report it." ”
I didn't come to visit my wife's funeral, and now I want to send a few people to take my daughter back, how can it be so good. If Xu Mingda came to pick it up in person, the Zhao family would not be angry. I'm afraid that if the old lady knows that he is coming, he won't even be able to get out of the gate of the Wang family.
"These people are not from the Xu family. The minions didn't know which relatives in the mansion they were, they hadn't seen these before, and they didn't look like people in Yanjing City when they were dressed. The porter's servant replied respectfully outside the door, quite embarrassed.
Zhao frowned, "Since you don't know each other, just drive it away." ”
"This ......"
Seeing the servant's hesitant appearance, Zhao raised his voice a little, and hummed softly in displeasure.
"The woman at the head said that she was from the old lady's family and came from Yunzhou." The porter whispered, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, the woman also has a hosta in her hand, saying that it is a token." ”
This Shangshu Mansion was later promoted to the Ministry of Household Shangshu before it began to be purchased, except for a few close servants, most of them were re-purchased later, because they were not familiar with the personnel relationship of the Wang family.
If it weren't for the woman's sworn appearance, he was afraid that he would have mistaken the master's affairs, and he would have driven the person away directly. Originally, I wanted to bring the hairpin in to show my wife if she knew it, but the woman seemed to be afraid that he would swallow it privately, so she wouldn't let him touch it, she looked down on people, and he was so angry that he almost drove people away on the spot.
Zhao frowned slightly, handed the comb to Mama Zhao on the side, continued to comb Wang Yunxiu's hair, walked to the door and asked the servant, "Where is the hairpin?" ”
"In the woman's hand, she would not give it to the slave."
Zhao lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and instructed the maid beside him, "Xiaoyu, you go and invite people in, you don't have to come to my house, lead them to the old lady's room." ”
Xiao Yu took the order and went out with the porter.
"Mother, are you a relative of your grandfather's family?" Wang Yunxiu turned his head to look at Zhao who was stunned at the door of the room, and asked curiously.
"Mother doesn't know," Seeing that Mama Zhao had already redressed Wang Yunxiu, Zhao looked up and down to see that there was nothing wrong, "Xiu'er, you don't have to go to the old lady's room to ask for peace today, go directly to Jiaxi Garden." ”
After Wang Yunxiu left, Zhao sat in her room for a while, expecting that Xiaoyu would go to Wan'an Hall after she almost arrived at the gate of the mansion. As she walked, she thought about her master's family situation.
The old man's father is also the old lady, but he is a romantic person, and he has not much ability, but there are a group of wives and concubines in the house. There are a total of four sons, seven or eight daughters, Wang Hongsheng is the youngest son-in-law, and there is a brother who is a fellow mother, but unfortunately he died of illness when he was young.
In addition, there are two sons born to a concubine, and because their mother is quite beautiful, the old lady is very fond of these two sons. In contrast, for his only surviving son-in-law, the old lady is much more alienated. After the death of his parents Junxian, Wang Hongsheng was elected to the court as an official, and only brought his wife and children to move out of Yunzhou.
Yunzhou is far away from Yanjing City, and almost all of them have broken off their relationship with the clan in the past ten years. Moreover, Zhao felt that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were not very happy with the people of Yunzhou, and only occasionally talked about the past of Yunzhou.
She only vaguely knew that the old lady had several brothers and sisters, but she didn't know which sister was from outside the door today.
