Chapter 108: A Chance Encounter
Xiao Xiaoxue's biological mother's surname is Chen, and she is another aunt in the Ming State Houfu, and she can be regarded as the last one to enter the mansion.
This Chen was originally just a tea picker in the Zhuangzi of the Houfu of the Ming Kingdom, not the son of the Hou Mansion, but just a hired worker. So the background is not very low.
Although the same hard work is repeated every day, Chen's appearance is very good. Although it is not a country and a city, it is a small jasper, especially among the tea pickers, it is even more outstanding.
The most important thing is that between her eyebrows and eyes, she is actually very similar to that Wei.
In the early years, when the Ming Kingdom had nothing to do, he personally went to the Zhuangzi of the Hou Mansion to inspect it. In the neat rows of tea groves, you can see the Chen family at a glance.
At that time, it had been almost a year since Wei's death, and Ming Guohou himself had certain feelings for Wei, coupled with his later guilt, when he saw Chen, his heart moved, and he asked the person in charge of taking care of Zhuangzi for her name and identity. After going back, I found a matchmaker to say goodbye.
said that it was a kiss, but in fact, it was just the identity of a concubine.
But Chen has her own ambitions, and her parents also believe that it is a blessing for generations of small families like them to be able to climb to the top of the Ming Dynasty. So in just a few days, she entered the door of the Ming Kingdom Houfu with the gift of a concubine.
Before passing through the door, the Chen family had already inquired clearly, the mother of the Ming State Houfu had passed away, and although Xiao He occasionally moved his mind, there was only one aunt in the house.
She originally thought that the position of the master mother had been vacant for a whole year, and the Luo clan had not been able to get it, so she must be a person who had no scheming and no means. Such people are often the best to handle.
However, soon after entering the mansion, Chan realized that he had been completely wrong.
How could this Luo not be good at scheming, she just knows how to disguise too well! She not only wants the power to be the master of the house in this house, but also wants to maintain the image of a good wife and mother in Xiao He's eyes.
After being framed and crushed by Luo Mei several times, Chen finally realized that he had no power or power, and he did not have a strong maiden family to support him.
So, she hurriedly put away her ambitions before entering the mansion, and turned to Luo Mei to lower her eyebrows, just hoping to be able to exchange for a moment of stability. It's just that secretly he is not convinced at all, and he just wants to wait for an opportunity to turn over.
Luo Mei is not a fool, so she naturally sees Chen's little caution. It's just that she is very sure that she will not give the latter that chance, even if this person is superficially obedient to her, at least she will not have to bother to fight her anymore.
Since then, Chen has been clinging to Luo Mei, seemingly resigned to it. After Xiao Xiaoxue was born, I don't know if it was Chen's teachings or the influence of the environment in the house, and she was quite thoughtful.
She walked with Xiao Yuan'er, and deliberately lowered her posture, isn't it just like Chen's attachment to Luomei?
Speaking of which, although Chen was the latest to enter the mansion, she soon became pregnant. And Xiao Yuan'er is the youngest daughter born by Luo Mei, and she is the same age as Xiao Xiaoxue.
Although the subordinates in the Ming Guohou Mansion also called Luo Mei "Second Lady" on weekdays, Xiao He only handed over the trivial matters in the mansion to her to take care of, and still didn't really straighten her out. If you want to calculate it carefully, Xiao Xiaoxue's identity should be equal to Xiao Kite.
Just as she thought just now, she just called Sister Xiao Yuan'er because of Luo Mei's relationship. became like a shadow and followed her, just so that he could continue to live in the Hou Mansion smoothly.
However, Xiao Yuan'er didn't know that she had been used as a gun, and at this time, she had already been angered by Xiao Xiaoxue's two sentences, and under the latter's gaze, she actually rushed directly into the back hall!
Xiao Chumo and Yu Panxi were talking and laughing, and the shopkeeper on the side commanded a few maids behind him to pack up all the jewelry of mutton fat jade, and sent someone to Xiao Mansion after a while. Xiao Yuan'er suddenly broke in like this, which really attracted the attention of several people in the house.
"Be careful, this set of jewelry is very precious!"
Seeing that the maid under his command accidentally touched the box on the side and almost threw something to the ground, the shopkeeper of Cui Yuxuan couldn't help but lower his voice and scolded.
It was this sentence that broke the atmosphere that had just been quiet for a moment because of Xiao Yuan'er's intrusion.
Yu Panxi put away the little surprise in her heart, raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yuan'er, and the smile on her face did not fade by half a minute: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, it turns out that my sister is also here today to choose jewelry?" ”
What she said sounded like she was just occasionally seeing relatives outside to say hello, and there was nothing wrong with it, and she didn't even care about Xiao Kite's faux pas.
The shopkeeper of Jade Xuan on the side listened to it and couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.
Yu Panxi always had some bad rumors before, and he thought that the general's wife was really unclean, so people would catch the handle. But now that she looks at it, she knows how to read and reason, and it is obviously not the slightest resemblance to the rumors.
And Yu Panxi's painless sentence seemed to stimulate Xiao Yuan'er and wake her up.
The latter's face was still full of anger, and at this moment it had turned into panic. After coming back to his senses, he was even more annoyed.
Even if she hated Yu Panxi in her heart and looked down on her, she had to take her words as a step for herself at this time: "Yes, yes...... I just saw my brother come here outside, and I thought I hadn't seen him for a few days, so I thought about coming in and saying hello. ”
Damn, why did you forget that your brother was still here? Yu Panxi, a slut, will find a chance to clean up in the future, and now he has to find a way to save his image first.
Xiao Yuan'er was a little angry in her heart, and she didn't think about it at all, if it wasn't for Yu Panxi who asked her at the right time, she was afraid that she would be even more embarrassed. On the contrary, after some chagrin, all the fault was attributed to Yu Panxi.
"You don't have to say hello, there's nothing to say."
Unlike Yu Panxi, Xiao Chumo saw Xiao Yuan'er and glanced at her coldly, without giving the latter a good look.
"We've been here long enough, can we go out for a walk?"
The latter sentence was naturally said to Yu Panxi. It's just that the tone and attitude of this speech are simply the same as when facing Xiao Yuan'er.
Yu Panxi didn't expect Xiao Chumo to be so straightforward and decisive, and smiled slightly: "Then let's go." ”
She didn't ignore it, Xiao Yuan'er's face was full of anger when she broke in just now, she must have seen a lot of the situation here, and she didn't want to stay here to be spied on.
Hearing that the two were leaving, Xiao Yuan'er was a little panicked, since Xiao Chumo moved the house, she was finally able to meet him once, and the number of times she could talk was even rarer. But she really couldn't think of an excuse to stop Xiao Chumo for a while, and when she saw the two of them leave Cuiyuxuan directly, she could only stomp her feet in anger.
