Xu Xiuyan returned to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River, and after being sent by the emperor to Dali Temple on an errand, he rented a room on the edge of Dali Temple, and lived here most of the time, and rarely returned to Xufu to live.

Originally, he wanted to take Xu Xilian's mother and son, but Xu Xilian refused.

On this day, Xu Xiuyan returned to his residence from the yamen of Dali Temple, and saw the chief housekeeper of the Xu Mansion standing outside at the door.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Xiuyan's voice was indifferent.

Seeing him come back, the big housekeeper didn't care about his attitude, anyway, since he was a child, he rarely saw the child's attitude mild.

The chief butler suddenly thought of the person who was treated gently by the son, and his mind was constricted, and he looked around, and the chief butler reported in a low voice,

"Childe, the master asked the little one to come over and talk to you, Ma Fu is gone."

Xu Xiuyan frowned, "He's gone, what's the use of you coming to talk to me?" Just send someone to find it. ”

The chief butler said, "The master suspects that he is not missing by himself, but by being ......."

Hearing this, Xu Xiuyan's already frowning brows furrowed even tighter.

He pushed open the door and went in, asked the attendant to boil water, and then turned and walked towards the main room.

The butler followed him into the main house.

The housekeeper of this courtyard has also been here many times, and the first feeling every time he comes is that he is cold and has no popularity, just like the childe.

The main house is very simple, there is no superfluous decoration, and the study on the right is a little popular, but it is very messy, files, books and the like, and some scrapped paper is thrown everywhere.

The chief butler followed Xu Xiuyan into the study, and when he saw him walking in casually, he didn't care if he stepped on the book on his feet.

He shook his head in his heart, outsiders said that the son's demeanor was how, if he saw this scene in the study, and the scene of stepping on the book just now, I don't know what those ladies will think.

Xu Xiuyan sat directly behind the bookcase, and the big housekeeper stood at the door, bending down to clean up, but Xu Xiuyan coldly refused.

"You ask me Ma Fu, I don't know, he is not my entourage, is there anything else, if not, go back."

"In the future, don't come to me less."

The chief butler touched the sweat on his forehead and bowed,

"The lord wants you to stare at the little prince in Zhenbei, and this private copper coin case, so you try not to wipe your hands."

Xu Xiuyan's gaze stayed on the table, and he didn't raise his head.

The big housekeeper was helpless, he was willing to do anything else except report to his son.

Xu Xiuyan said expressionlessly,

"What are you doing staring at the little prince? Does he still want to repeat the events of that year? ”

He said, "I see, you stand down." ”

The chief butler whispered and withdrew.

Generally, Childe replied like this, that is, his errand was done.

Xu Xiuyan sat quietly in front of the bookcase, like a wood carving, for a long time, then slowly got up, walked to the edge of the bookshelf behind him, pushed the bookshelf, and there was a small inner room behind him.

This inner room looks very clean, there is only one incense case in it, and the smell of incense lingers in the room.

On the incense table, there is a tablet that reads,

"The first wife Huo Menhan gave birth to the lotus position of the West."

He took out three sticks of incense from the incense bag that was sitting on the side, lit them skillfully, and then inserted them into the incense burner in front of the spirit tablet.

Suddenly, he sneezed for no apparent reason, and his exhaled breath hit the incense burner, blowing up some incense ashes and floating in the air.

Xu Xiuyan frowned, took out the handkerchief from his arms, and did not wipe his nose first, but first carefully wiped the dust on the tablet.

……

On the side of Xuanpingfang Xufu, the battle of the three men finally stopped.

Xu Danxiu said that he was going to Shudi, it was really a thunderstorm, and Xu Jun was blown up, and when he thought about it, he felt more and more guilty.

Over the years, Xu Danxiu has been trapped in the palace, and it is really rare to go out, let alone go back to see Prince Xu.

Xu Jun chased after him and said in a low voice,

"Ah Xiu, if you want to go, I won't stop you, just the person who escorts you, let's use the palace, so that not only I can rest assured, but even Han'er, I can rest assured."

He turned a corner and asked Xu Han, "Han'er, did you say that?" ”

Xu Han, "......"

Without waiting for Xu Han to speak, he saw An Xiangchu walking forward, raising his eyebrows,

"Don't bother the old prince, the lady has invited me to be a groom with a lot of money, and the lady's safety is guarded by me personally saddle the horse and the horse!"

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows heavily, biting the word 'personally' extremely hard, with full provocation.

Even if he is hidden behind the scenes, Xu Jun is still the high-ranking prince, so naturally he can't afford to look down on a person like An Xiangchu.

However, he also knows that Xu Danxiu is the kind of person who is open-minded, pays a confidant in his life, and does not ask about the origin of the hero.

Otherwise, she would not have taken a fancy to a foreigner like herself in Shudi.

Xu Jun frowned, clenched his fist in his hand, loosened, tightened, and loosened, and desperately pressed down the fuse that was about to explode.

Xu Danxiu took the two children by the hand, turned around, hooked the corners of her lips, smiled lightly, and had a thin anger in her eyes.

"Xu Jun, please don't interfere in my private affairs, and you have no right to interfere."

Turning his head, he said to Shang'an Xiangchu, and changed to another language, a little soft, a little helpless, and said,

"Stop, be careful that I get you out."

Although it is said to be ruthless, Xu Danxiu's attitude towards An Xiangchu is much softer, which is completely different from Xu Jun's hard attitude.

An Xiangchu's purple pupils, with a smile, winked at Xu Danxiu, and said in a low voice,

"Yes, ma'am."

Indeed, if An Xiangchu's lazy attitude hadn't set Xu Jun on fire, there would have been no such fight.

Otherwise, why should he fight Xu Jun as a person dressed as a servant, although Xu Jun's behavior is also a bit down.

However, An Xiangchu whispered like this, not because he was afraid of being kicked out by Xu Danxiu, but because he suddenly found that he seemed to be really wrong.

The little prince of Zhenbei came over later, and it was not a pleasant thing to see his father beating or being beaten.

Heck, it's really just about pleasing the big ones and forgetting the small ones.

Therefore, even if he thought more about Xu Jun, he disappeared without a trace at this moment, and the person quickly withdrew.

As for Qi Heng, the general, An Xiangchu didn't look at it at all.

It's just a fool who has no hope at all, don't care.

Xu Danxiu took the child back to the backyard, and Xu Han whispered to Xiao Wei,

"You go back first, let's talk about it tomorrow, since that Yunfeng handed over the case of coinage to me, and so many days have passed, he said that he wanted to find out the den of money, we should also ask him."

Xiao Wei looked at the sky, and didn't leave, originally thinking about whether he could have a meal, but he also knew that Xu Han must have been shocked by the news of, so he obediently left Xuanpingfang.

As he walked, he pondered how to coax his Hanhan.

Xiao Wei left, Xu Jun and Qi Heng watched Xu Danxiu leave, and then saw that the little horseman had also entered the back house, the two gritted their teeth, but they were helpless.

can only walk out of the gate of the Xu Mansion side by side, both of them are a little depressed, as if they are two brothers who fought with people outside and did not win.

But the other brothers can go back to their father and mother to complain, but these two have nowhere to sue.

At dinner, Xu Xilian took Jun'er, as well as Yingying, Xu Han, and Xu Danxiu around a table to eat, fried bacon, egg and meat soup, two kinds of fresh vegetables sent from the suburban Zhuangzi, braised crucian carp with chives on the head, drenched in oil, and a boiled mushroom soup that made it thick and white, and several people ate together.

Xu Han actually had a stomach of questions, and blamed her, during this time, she went to Dongshan Daying and Qingshui Town, and there was no time to stop.

Naturally, he neglected to pay attention to his mother, and always thought that she was there and that she was fine.

If it weren't for today's fight, she might have found the groom named An Xiangchu a while later.

It's really that she has been going out on horseback recently, and occasionally when she goes out, Xiao Wei will come to pick her up in a carriage.

She felt a little guilty, holding the rice with chopsticks, and thinking of the horseman An Xiangchu just now, the subordinate did not neglect him, but called him 'An Ye'.

Listening to Mama Fang, these times, my mother's travel is waiting for this grandfather in front of the saddle and behind the horse.

As for the origin, Mama Fang just said that because the coachman in the house was injured and couldn't move for a long time, this An Ye once helped his mother, and when he heard that the coachman in the house was injured, Mao Shun recommended himself.

As for his identity and why his mother agreed, Mama Fang prevaricated vaguely.

No matter what Xu Han thinks, that An Xiangchu doesn't look like a horseman.

Speaking of which, it's really not easy to ask about your mother's affairs.

It's just that she is curious in her heart, and she doesn't ask as if she was scratched by a cat.

Xu Danxiu watched Xu Han absentmindedly counting the grains of rice and knocking on her bowl,

"Eat well when you eat, and be careful to stuff it in your nose."

Xu Han smiled wryly and served Xu Danxiu a bowl of soup.

Over there, Xu Xilian took care of Jun'er and Yingying to eat, and the two children took a mouthful of oil and arrived at Xu Danxiu's side.

"Grandmother, I'm going to find Uncle An......"

Especially Jun'er, in the afternoon, I saw An Xiangchu's power, and I couldn't admire it, so I grabbed Xu Danxiu's legs.

Xu Danxiu wiped Jun'er with a handkerchief, wiped Yingying clean, and said,

"He's eating in the kitchen, and when he's done, he'll take you to play, okay?"

Jun'er shook Xu Danxiu's legs, "I'm done eating with Yingying, can I go to her?" ”

Xu Danxiu's heart softened when she was shaken by the two children, and said softly, "Then you go to him, but ask the nurse and the maid to take you there." ”

Jun'er and Yingying glanced at each other and immediately cheered, but they still respectfully saluted everyone before going out.

When they were far away, they could still hear the cheerful laughter of two people.

The room was quiet, Xu Xilian had always been silent, and she was slowly eating.

Xu Danxiu's gaze stopped at Xu Han's body, Xu Han didn't want to ask anymore, and hurriedly said,

"Mother, I won't ask, I won't ask anything."

Indeed, this matter is Xu Danxiu's business.

Moreover, she is not a child and is able to sort out her life, and what she wants.

And that An Xiangchu, although he was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, Ge cloth jackets and pants, and the treatment of eating in the big kitchen.

Isn't it the relationship between the proprietor and the long-term worker?

It's just that although An Xiangchu only has such treatment, he is still neither humble nor arrogant, such a subordinate position, can be like this, and makes people respectfully call him 'master', his temperament should actually be somewhat clear.

However, what will happen in the end, it depends on the future, and it depends on Xu Danxiu's choice.

In short, her choice, her decision, Xu Han was in favor of it with both hands.

Her mother, not a woman who guards the cold kiln, pursues her happiness as much as she wants.

However, Xu Han didn't ask Xu Danxiu, but Xu Danxiu had something to ask Xu Han.

About to be full, Xu Danxiu pushed the bowl, rinsed his mouth with the Su Ye water prepared on the side, his voice was soft, and asked,

"Han'er, why did that Xiao Shizi come with you today? Last time too. ”

And he led her to speak,

"Speaking of which, this Xiao Shizi is handsome, if you are a daughter now, I probably want such a son-in-law."

"Although he is not very good, but he is good-looking, and his nephew in the future should be good-looking."

"If you can't live this day, it's a big deal to get married, a good-looking nephew of Bai."

Xu Han said with a smile,

"Mother, did you just take a fancy to your father's beauty at the beginning?"

Xu Danxiu sneered again and again, "That old killer." ”

My mother scolded my father, Xu Han was not good at picking up the stubble, but I didn't hear it, and I used to sit next to Xu Danxiu.

"Mother, are you going to see your grandfather?"

Xu Danxiu smiled, "I have this idea, I haven't been back for many years, anyway, it's good to go back and see if I'm so idle now." ”

You can also dodge Xu Jun and Qi Heng's two old things, it's great.

She quietly brought the topic to Xiao Wei again, she really couldn't forget the conversation she heard between Princess Anping and the maid in the rouge shop that day.

This prince of Cheng'en actually likes the rabbit master, and then looks at his daughter, dressed up, with picturesque eyebrows, carved in pink and jade, although he still has some heroism, but he can't argue with male and female, who doesn't like it?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt in her heart, waved her hand, and let the people on the side retreat, and asked in a low voice,

"Han'er, that prince of Cheng'en didn't do anything to you, did he? He's never been so close to anyone before, so why did he treat you well? ”

Xu Han thought of Xiao Xiao's awkward personality, although he had a good relationship with Yu Dongping and Shu Ze in the past, he seemed to have a habit of cleanliness and kept a certain distance from people.

She said,

"Probably because we fell in love, he is smart, his family affairs are good, and he is favored by the people in the palace, in fact, his family is very complicated."

"He has no father or mother since he was a child, he was brought up by the eldest princess, and his uncle and aunt are not very good, so he grinds his temperament into loneliness.

He doesn't have anyone close to him, and it's rare to see someone who isn't annoying, so we're always in the same place. ”

The more Xu Danxiu listened, the more uneasy she became, and as a mother and a person who came over, she suddenly became vigilant.

I felt that something was wrong in my heart, and asked a few more questions, and Xu Han answered very normally.

The daughter is at the age when she is ready to be released, and she is different from other girls, she has been self-disciplined and self-reliant since she was a child, whether it is martial arts or literature.

In the past, I was just close to my eldest son Xu Xuan, but later I went to Shu for three years, and I didn't have any friends.

Not to mention touching the affairs of his children, in case, he fell in love with Xiao Wei ignorantly, and he was not sure of his safety, and his daughter was discovered at that time......

Moreover, when her daughter mentioned him, it was very wrong, and she suddenly did not know whether to be angry or happy.

The daughter is enlightened, and this Xiao Shizi, does she know her daughter's identity?

Xu Han felt that his attitude towards Xiao Zheng was pure, but he didn't expect Xu Danxiu to be overturning in his heart, and he couldn't wait to ask Xu Han directly.

But this kind of children's affairs are not easy to ask directly.

So, she said around the corner,

"My mother said that Xiao Shizi is good-looking, but that's just because I'm an elder."

She was a little distressed,

"Back then, Xu Jun used his unlucky skin to confuse me, and I just saw him for the sake of his good looks, so I was confused and suffered losses for most of my life."

"Mother thinks that Xiao Shizi is like that, don't listen to your mother's nonsense."

Xu Danxiu was very sad in her heart, why did she pass on her face problem to Han'er?

This is about the logic of all mothers in the world, is it wrong, it is someone else's, or her own, as for the child, no matter what she does, she should not be.

Xu Han is not stupid, after listening to Xu Danxiu's words, if she still doesn't know what she wants to express, then it will be in vain.

Not to mention anything about revenge.

She was a little funny in her heart, and a little moved, in addition to Xu Jun, whether it was Huo Han or Xu Han, they all met good family members, and now, even Xu Jun, who used to think that he was not very good, and Xu Zhao, who was regarded as an opponent, have changed.

She leaned her head on Xu Danxiu's shoulder and said softly,

"Mother, that's not what you say, where can you control who you like? People who are born well are also very good, at least Xiao Shizi is good.

It doesn't matter if character and looks are, besides, I can't find someone who doesn't look for character in the future. ”

Balabala, a bunch.

The more Xu Danxiu listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she simply asked,

"Han'er, you like that Xiao Shizi, right?"

Xu Han was silent for a moment, and finally raised his head, looked at Xu Danxiu, and moved his lips.
