Regarding that portrait, Xu Sa only thought it strange at first.

However, some things are often very scary to think about, and the more you think about them, the more wrong they become.

The Xu family has been destroyed for fourteen years, but she has only been away from Longye for seven years. Even though she lived a very low-key life in the first seven years, she also came forward to meet her white-eyed wolf relatives.

It was a strange thing to happen.

If it weren't for seeing that portrait, Xu Sa really couldn't have imagined that there were still people looking for her in this world.

Even Sister Ruyi, who has been paying attention to the situation in Chudi, didn't know about this...... It really made her want to explore the truth more and more.

By the way, he accompanied Fu Rushen to deal with affairs in the main building, and had dinner with Han Ye. When it was dark, Xu Sa was about to leave, but the owner of Fu Zhuang said, "I'll send you back." ”

"Don't bother, do you?" Xu Sa pursed his lips and put his hands behind his back, lowered his head, but quietly raised his eyes to look at the other party.

Master Fu was silent and spoke: "Then you go back." ”

“……”

Doesn't this person hold on?

Xu Sa secretly rolled his eyes, said "oh", turned around and left.

When she was halfway down the road, she turned back.

"What are you doing with me?"

When asked by her, Master Fu frowned: "I'm going to the West Warehouse." ”

The Tingfeng Pavilion is in the west courtyard, and the west warehouse is in the west of the Tingfeng Pavilion, and all the cloth armor to be worn by the darts is placed.

Looking at the sky, Xu Sa was suspicious, and asked meaningfully: "Big Boss, did you learn anything from the third owner?" ”

Outside, it is rumored that the owners of the big village are incomprehensible, and the owners of the three villages are indiscriminate...... How did she feel that the rumors did not match the facts?

"What can he teach me?" Master Fu had a serious expression and looked at her with a negative hand, "The owner of this village only feels that he seems to have learned something by himself recently." ”

“……”

Talking to this person is too easy to be turned back on. Xu Sapi smiled and arched his hand: "That's really congratulations to the owner." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Master Fu Zhuang smiled and watched her go back to Tingfeng Pavilion.

From the beginning of entering the yard, Xu Sa was stepping on heavy steps all the way.

Xin Yuzhi was puzzled: "Master, are you in a bad mood?" ”

Xu Sa's face was slightly red, his mouth was flattened, and he said with annoyance: "I'm alone and quiet!" ”

So saying, he went back to the inner room and slammed the door shut.

Eager to roll on the bed three times in a row, Xu Sa rolled himself up in the quilt and slapped his forehead with both hands: "Calm, rational, steady ......"

She can't be confused by men, absolutely, yes, she can't leave a little handle for Fu Rushen!

Touching his chest, his heart gradually became heavy, and Xu Sa suddenly looked forward to the Hou Mansion as soon as possible.

If she was destined to leave before Miss Fu returned, maybe she could suppress her curiosity about that portrait and comfort herself that she already had a goal, and there would always be a chance to find some information in the future.

However, God seems to be particularly fond of seeing her expectations disappointed.

Early the next morning, Xu Sa was woken up by Xinyu: "Master, master, get up quickly!" ”

Xu Sa yawned and got up.

Last night, she was full of worries, she slept a little late, and her eyes were still hazy: "Is something wrong?" ”

Xinyu nodded anxiously: "The entourage of the third village owner just came to inform him that the big village owner's sister is about to arrive at the villa...... The owner of the big village is not there in the morning when he goes out, and the third owner asks you to pick up the eldest lady first! ”

"Huh?" It was as if something had fallen from the sky and smashed on top of her head. Xu Sa instantly fell asleep: "So fast? ”

"Who knows, people will not come until they arrive." Xinyu pouted, "The water is ready, the slave maid will serve you to dress first!" ”

My head went blank for a while, and I didn't recover until I wiped my face. Xu Sa took advantage of Xinyu's time to comb her hair, hurriedly ate a few pastries, and then pushed open the door and rushed out.

"Master, do you want to explain something to the slave in advance?" Xinyu asked after her.

"No, you don't." Xu Sa didn't look back.

Xinyu was startled and hurriedly looked left and right. Even though there was no one around, she still reminded in a low voice: "Master, don't panic and forget, you are a dumb person!" ”

After a pause, Xu Sa pursed his lips in a helpless arc: "I haven't forgotten." ”

At the gate of Longhang Villa, Yun Xiangyi tossed back and forth, and finally saw people walking up the front steps of Longhang Villa.

"Cousin!" Yun Xiangyi jumped up excitedly and took Fu Xuerong's arm, "You're back!" ”

Anyone who goes out for half a year is happy to be warmly welcomed when they come back. Fu Xuerong stepped into the threshold and asked with a smile: "Yiyi misses her cousin?" ”

"Of course!" Yun Xiangyi said with joy on his face, "Yiyi misses her cousin, and when you don't have a cousin, you can't find anyone to talk to!" ”

"Huh?" Fu Xuerong blinked when she heard this, then looked around and asked, "By the way, why didn't you see Ah Shen, nor did you see Ah Shen's daughter-in-law?" ”

Yun Xiangyi was stunned by her question, and only spoke after a while: "Cousin, do you know that your cousin has married a wife?" ”

"I was also congratulated on the way back, which scared me." Fu Xuerong frowned, "So why didn't the two of them come?" ”

At this moment when she asked, Han Sanzhuang's owner came over and arched his hand at her: "Welcome the eldest sister back to the village." ”

"What about Ah Shen and the daughter-in-law he married without me?" Fu Xuerong didn't let go of this topic, "It can't be that you haven't woken up yet, right?" ”

Han Ye smiled calmly: "The eldest brother has something to do in the morning, and he went out of the door, and the third brother has already gone to give him a message and asked him to come back quickly." As for the sister-in-law......"

"Oops! Speaking of cousin-in-law," Yun Xiangyi interrupted Han Ye's words at first glance, and asked Fu Xuerong with thin eyebrows, "Cousin, do you know that cousin-in-law is a mute?" ”

"Dumb?!" Fu Xuerong was shocked.

"Don't you know?" Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a figure rushing over here, Yun Xiangyi immediately hugged Fu Xue into the main hall, and pouted, "No wonder, cousin originally wanted to deal with this matter before you came back." ”

"Yiyi!" Han Ye frowned and drank lowly.

"No, what's going on? I've only been gone for four months, why has the sky changed in the villa? Fu Xuerong said anxiously, "Han Ye, don't scare Yiyi, let her talk...... Bright...... White ......"

The reason why there are words jumping in the back is because Fu Xuerong saw a woman with a raw face walking towards her with a smile.

What a beautiful woman! Not only was he born with bright eyes and bright teeth, he walked straight towards her like this, and his steps were not slow, and his clothes and jewelry were very pleasing to the eye, and he was gentle and courageous...... Even she was stunned.

"This is ......"

The beauty smiled slightly, and bowed shortly: "Xu Sa greets the eldest sister." ”

"Xu Sa?" Fu Xuerong nodded with a somewhat overwhelmed smile, turned her head and asked, "Who will introduce me?" ”

However, when she turned her head, she found that Yun Xiangyi seemed to be frozen by something, and was staring at the Xu beauty.

Han Ye also raised his eyebrows in surprise and was speechless.

"Yiyi?" Fu Xuerong felt a little embarrassed and shook the little girl beside her.

Xu Sa thought that there would be such a picture on the way, so he smiled very calmly and said: "Eldest sister, Xu Sa is the dumb bride that the owner of the big village married without telling you." ”

Fu Xuerong: "......"

The expression was subtle and silent for a long time, and then Fu Xuerong asked: "That, the so-called dumb, isn't that what I thought?" Is it a nickname? ”

"Hahaha, eldest sister, look around you!" Han Ye finally shook his fan and came up to play a round game, "Speaking of which, it's the first time I've heard my sister-in-law speak, but my eldest brother has explained the reason for the matter to me." ”

Then Han Ye winked at Xu Sa, and then took Fu Xuerong to his seat as he spoke: "What about the matter, it is probably that the sister-in-law lost her voice for some reason before marrying Longxing Villa, and it took two days to recover ......"

The three owners of Longxing Villa have not yet had the next generation, so Fu Xuerong is still the eldest lady in the villa, and her status is second only to the three owners. Xu Sa was her new brother-in-law, and of course the two had a lot to say, so they each sat on both sides of the small table on the right hand side of the main seat, and they were at the same table.

Yun Xiangyi's face turned blue and pale, and he didn't even resist when he was ignored, but after looking at them with complicated eyes for a long time, he threw off the handkerchief and ran out.

Fu Xuerong looked inexplicable: "What's wrong with Yiyi?" ”

"Maybe I was a little scared when I heard my sister-in-law speak?" Han Ye smiled and put away the fan, "After all, she is still a little girl, and it is normal that she can't accept it for a while." ”

"That's right." Fu Xuerong nodded suddenly.

Xu Sa bent his eyebrows, and he already had a bottom in his heart.

With her ability to look at girls, she can see that Fu Xuerong should not be a snarky person.

Sure enough, Fu Xuerong didn't do that kind of thing to protect her shortcomings, because she scared Yun Xiangyi when she spoke, so she reprimanded her first, but replied to Han Ye, "Then let her slow down first", and then turned her head and chatted with Xu Sa about this family affair that was hidden from her.

Regarding this family affair, Xu Sa confessed to Fu Rushen yesterday afternoon. Therefore, the answer is also relaxed, and the story is perfectly rounded into the tragic drama of "my sister has a miserable background, marries away for her sister, and gets along with her husband secretly, but she may be beaten by a stick at any time".

When Fu Xuerong heard the end, her brows tightened, and she grabbed her hand and said, "Don't worry, Sasa, Ah Shen has great skills, as long as you husband and wife are of the same heart, no one in this world can break you apart!" Big sister is on your side! ”

"Thank you, big sister." Enduring the embarrassment in his heart, Xu Sa let out a wry smile and said affectionately: "I also hope that I can't be separated from him." ”

Fu Xuerong was moved, and she didn't care about what she had been hidden from before.

On the contrary, the more I looked at Xu Sa, the more cordial I felt, and I suddenly remembered something between the teas: "By the way, I still have a pair of bracelets, which were given to me by my mother and asked me to give them to Ah Shen's daughter-in-law...... You see, I've almost forgotten about it for years! ”

After speaking, he picked up Xu Sa and walked to her Su Xueju.

Fu Rushen is not there. Before Xu Sa was pulled away, he could only glance at Han Ye.

Han Ye looked at it and seemed to sigh a little, he didn't have a hippie smile like usual, he just nodded towards Xu Sa.

Xu Sa followed Fu Xuerong with confidence.

It didn't take long for Master Fu Zhuang to rush back, and saw that the main hall was empty, only Han Ye was sitting there drinking tea, and he frowned: "Where have all the people gone?" What about the eldest sister? ”

"The eldest sister took the sister-in-law to her place, saying that there was a pair of bracelets to give to the sister-in-law." Han Ye blew the foam on the tea.

"Bracelets?"

Han Ye nodded: "It seems that the eldest mother handed it over to the eldest sister and asked her to give it to your future daughter-in-law." ”

“……”

Feeling the sudden change in the mood of the person in front of him, Han Ye put down the teacup, walked up to him gracefully, and patted him on the shoulder: "Sister-in-law is a good person, otherwise the eldest sister would not have no resistance to her." You are a blessing in disguise, so think about the road ahead. ”

Glancing at him, Master Fu raised his eyebrows: "When will it be your turn to pretend to be old in front of me?" ”

Han Ye brushed open the folding fan to hide his face and coughed lightly: "Use the news that I quietly walked outside for a while, and my sister-in-law resumed her speech?" ”

The owner of Fu Zhuang said lightly: "There is no need to deliberately say this, tell the brothers in the village to pay attention, just don't make jokes because of this trivial matter." ”

"Okay!" Putting away the folding fan and waving at him, Han Ye turned around and walked out, "The eldest sister came back suddenly, I'll go and arrange for people to go to the restaurant to order some food first!" ”

Without waiting for a reply, Han Ye disappeared as soon as he left the main hall. Fu Rushen stood in place with his arms crossed over his chest, and pursed his lips with a smile.

"Master," Hengyuan said on the side, "The eldest lady came back really suddenly, and my subordinates thought that it would be at least tomorrow." ”

"yes." Fortunately, he exchanged messages with Xu Sa yesterday, otherwise things would be in trouble.

Hengyuan looked at his master and thought for a moment before saying, "My subordinates think that although the eldest lady is more informal, she will not do such a sudden return." ”

"I know that there must be a demon when things go wrong." Master Fu Zhuang twisted his eyebrows, "I will quietly write a letter to the eldest sister to come up with ideas, and I only have Yiyi, I really don't know when she will be sensible......"

Hengyuan followed the path that everyone used to excuse Yun Xiangyi and said: "Miss Yun is still young. ”

Master Fu only sighed: "But I think that when Xu Sa is the same age as her, he should be much more sensible than her." ”

At this time, Xu Sa had already been pulled into Su Xueju.

As soon as Fu Xuerong entered the room, he opened the secret grid key in a row, and finally a floor tile rose from the corner of the inconspicuous ground, revealing a small box inside.

Blowing the ash on the box, Fu Xuerong presented the things to Xu Sa, and smiled embarrassedly: "Don't be surprised, Sasa, this bracelet was given to Ah Shen's daughter-in-law by my mother, I don't dare to slack off, so I keep it all the time." As a result, Ah Shen refused to marry his daughter-in-law, and I never moved, so it fell into a layer of dust, but it must be good inside. ”

As she spoke, she opened the box.

A pair of high-quality mutton fat white jade bracelets lay quietly inside.

Fu Xuerong didn't hesitate, took out the bracelet and put it on Xu Sa's wrist, muttering: "This bracelet matches your skin color quite well." ”

Fu Xuerong and Fu Rushen have the same father and mother, and their appearance is also very symbolic, and they are the same age as Wei Ruyi. But Xu Sa tasted the vicissitudes of life from her demeanor.

She still remembered that Fu Rushen said that Fu Xuerong's fiancé died in the turmoil in Dongchu, and she has never been married since then.

It's been more than ten years...... This woman is really infatuated. Xu Sa suddenly became curious about one thing: "Eldest sister, do you know why the owner of the big village has been reluctant to marry a wife before?" ”

Fu Xuerong was looking at her wrist with relief, but her eyes darkened when she heard this, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "Didn't Ah Shen tell you?" ”

After a pause, without waiting for Xu Sa to speak, she smiled more deeply: "Also, Ah Shen is always reluctant to mention the past." ”

In addition to the curiosity, Xu Sa also felt the sadness in Fu Xuerong's tone: "Can the eldest sister talk to me?" ”

"You are your own family, there is nothing to hide from you." Fu Xuerong chuckled and pulled Xu Sa to sit down in the soft collapse.

"I don't know how much you know about the past Chu Di...... After all, Dongchu used to be monogamous, and my father's relationship had always been very good. But later, when Dongchu was in chaos, my father brought back a woman to make him a concubine out of nowhere, and my mother began to be bullied by that woman everywhere, and finally folded in the Chinese New Year's Eve of the second year. ”

"Even though my mother is a loser in her soft temperament, she will not tell anyone about her hardships, but what makes me and Ah Shen angry is that even if the later things are revealed, my father also chose to forgive his concubine, which caused the woman to be pampered and arrogant, and began to intensify, using her identity to quietly embezzle the money in the village and produce a batch of dart carts with questionable quality...... Later, when my father was using the dart cart to escort the goods, he fell off the cliff with the goods. ”

After a slight pause, Fu Xuerong took a breath and shook her head with a smile: "You just don't know what she's thinking, when Bai Fan hasn't been withdrawn...... She was already clamoring to take the title of the big owner. ”

"This ......," the corners of Xu Sa's mouth twitched slightly, "So, he recommended himself to become the owner of the village at the age of fifteen?" ”

"You know?" Fu Xuerong was surprised.

Xu Sa confessed: "I have seen the memorabilia of Longxing Villa. ”

Nodding, Fu Xuerong said, "Fortunately, the second uncle was still there at that time." With the support of him and the third uncle, Ah Shen became the owner of the big village, and the first thing he did after that was to sell the woman to an inferior kiln on the border of Chudi. It was also after that that Ah Shen began to resist contact with women and marry a wife...... He probably didn't want another tragedy to happen. ”

"So Sasa," Fu Xuerong grabbed Xu Sa's hand and winked at her, "You have to be strong, if Ah Shen is blind one day and wants to take a concubine, you must not agree!" Then ......"

"And then tell the eldest sister that you are on my side?"

"You know again?" Fu Xuerong was even more surprised.

Xu Sa shrugged innocently: "I guessed this." ”

Fu Xuerong also laughed: "Ah Shen's vision now is similar to that of my father. I just hope he won't be lame in the future. ”

"I won't."

A faint voice rang out from the faint doorway.

The two little women in the room were startled and stood up one after another. Fu Xuerong pulled Xu Sa over and said, "Ah Shen, you really found a good daughter-in-law!" ”

"It's only been half an hour since the eldest sister came back, right?" Fu Zhuang said with a face, "Isn't it too hasty to draw conclusions now?" ”

"Then you're not going to be hasty, are you?" Fu Xuerong smiled noncommittally, "I can trust my brother's gaze." ”

With a smile on his face, Fu Rushen raised his hand to lead the way: "Let's go, go and wash the dust for you." ”

"Okay." Fu Xuerong smiled and put Xu Sa's hand on Fu Rushen's hand, letting the two of them hold it, "Your daughter-in-law is good for herself!" ”

This situation always feels a little weird...... made Xu Sa laugh. But gradually, she suddenly discovered that she saw similarities with herself in Fu Xuerong's body.

If her brother is still alive, she should also have such a mentality of being a sister and a mother.

The dark one is a little more stunned.

Lunch is eaten by a large family. Everyone knew that Xu Sa's voice had recovered, and they didn't react much, only Yun Xiangyi opened his mouth carefully: "Since my cousin-in-law has resumed her words, is that ...... Should I learn more about the rules in the lodge? ”

After a pause, facing everyone's gaze, Yun Xiangyi said innocently: "After all, my cousin-in-law has been married for a month, but she still doesn't know the detailed rules of the village, so it's not good." ”

"Yiyi." Fu Rushen whispered.

Fu Xuerong looked at the two of them, clapped her hands and smiled: "Indeed, there are many rules in the village, and it is better to know it earlier." ”

However, some people played a round, but they couldn't stop the secret thinking of others, and the atmosphere at the table was already strange.

Xu Sa sighed secretly.

Being targeted at this kind of thing, as long as it doesn't hurt her body, she never cares too much. But......

"Zhuang Master," the little paw hidden under the table quietly showed his nails, scratching five paths on the thigh next to him, Xu Sa smiled reluctantly, leaned over and asked, "I still have to study the rules?" ”

"You don't need to delve into it, but you need to get a brief understanding." Master Fu Zhuang did not deliberately lower his voice, "After all, it is better to see than to hear, in the future, when you go out to talk about business or darts, you will act with me more, and I will personally guide you in some things." ”

Xu Sa's eyes darkened.

Fu Xuerong was surprised: "Ah Shen, just talk about business, do you still want to follow you with you?" ”

"Doesn't the eldest sister know?" Master Fu's eyes were filled with a little pride, "Sassy kung fu is very powerful." ”

"Really? Sassy and martial? Can you still praise you? Fu Xuerong was even more surprised.

Xu Sa smiled: "It's him who protects his shortcomings, it's all false praise." ”

After speaking, he pinched the owner of Fu Zhuang fiercely.

Is there such a thing as pushing people into a pit? Does he understand what it means that more is better than less?

Master Fu glanced at her, and quietly wrapped her little paws with his backhand.

couldn't break free, Xu Sa switched to stepping on his feet.

Now the whole leg was pressed against the leg of the chair.

Xu Sa: "......"

As if nothing had happened, Master Fu's faint voice was tender: "Eat more, and I'll ask Hengyuan to bring you the booklet of the Zhuang rules in the afternoon." When the eldest sister rests, let her take you around the villa in detail tomorrow. ”

Xu Sa swallowed the blood that surged to his mouth, squeezed out a smile, and said gently, "Okay." ”

Fu Xuerong looked at the two of them and smiled kindly.

Then I heard the sound of the chopsticks next to me "clicking" on the porcelain bowl.

Yun Xiangyi stood up and said with a small face, "I'm full." ”

"Why are you eating less and less? Look at your skinny ...... Is it because you are not feeling well? Fu Xuerong was softly concerned.

Yun Xiangyi shook his head and smiled reluctantly: "It may be that the weather is cold, but I don't have much appetite...... Why don't you make some refreshments later, and my cousin comes to Caiyunxuan to accompany Yiyi to eat refreshments and talk? ”

Seeing that Yun Xiangyi's face was not very good-looking, Fu Xuerong nodded: "Okay, then I'll look for you when my cousin goes back to the house to rest for a while." ”

"Eldest sister, don't be too reluctant, you're not in good health."

After Yun Xiangyi left, Fu Rushen said.

Fu Xuerong's gaze swept over him and Xu Sa, and shook her head with a smile: "I'd better go and accompany her." ”

Fu Rushen pursed her lips and said, "I'll go to her first in a while, eldest sister, it's not too late to go after you have rested." ”

In the silence, Xu Sa's inexplicable chest was a little uncomfortable, and after lunch, he refused to be accompanied by Master Fu, and he and Xinyu went back to Tingfeng Pavilion.

Gu Yuankun was waiting for her behind the gate of the courtyard, which was rare.

"What's wrong? Rebels? Xu Sa dragged his steps, and his voice was not energetic.

Glancing at her, Gu Yuankun held his weapon and said a little unnaturally: "You, can you take me out?" ”
