"Old, old lady... Little nephew, take your leave..."

Hong Shu said in a hurry, but he didn't dare to say anything, and then looked at the old lady of the Xia family.

"How are you doing?"

The soft, unsentimental question, came out of the old lady's mouth.

As soon as Hong Shu heard this, he nodded and smiled: "Okay! Okay very! She, she didn't talk less... I'm coming, I'm coming to visit the old lady! ”

Although he was still very nervous in his heart, when he heard the old lady and asked about his wife, he couldn't help but feel relieved. In fact, he didn't expect it at the beginning... His wife, Rong, who married from Neixian, even knew the old lady of the Xia family. When he brought his newlywed wife Rong to Xia Mansion to meet this old lady of the Xia family, he was really surprised!

Later, he learned from his wife that the old lady's own clan, the Wan clan, was a family friend of their Rong clan. Although the old lady's own family has already been destroyed by the disaster many years ago. But the old lady is still there, and her own wife is just right, marrying herself to come to Jingxian. Then naturally I have to go to pay a visit, this Wan family is an old friend.

But when he saw the old lady, he didn't dare to mention it to others. On the one hand, his wife didn't let him say much. Second, he also knew that trouble came from his mouth, and he didn't want to cause trouble because he didn't control it. He had already taken his wife to the Xia Mansion and visited the old lady of the Xia family. But he never mentioned it to others. And his own family naturally won't talk about it casually.

Although I have come to Xia Mansion and seen this old lady of the Xia family. But I only saw it once, and even if I often came to Xia Mansion in the future. It was also at the invitation of Xia Shiqing, the young master of the Xia family, but he never saw this old lady again. But, who would... Today, as usual, I came to Xia Mansion to eat and drink, and I actually... I actually met the old lady.

"If E'er wants to come and see me, let her come."

"Yes! Be! The little nephew knows! Got it! That, that little nephew, this. That's it! ”

As Hong Shu spoke, he was about to go out to Zheng Ze and Wu Zhiju and go out. But before he had taken a few steps, the old lady's words came from behind him.

"When you're fine, stay at home with E'er."

"Little nephew knows! Got it! ”

Hong Shu replied to the old lady's words and walked towards the door. As soon as he got out of the door, he fled and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Only the dancers and musicians in the room who were still standing aside, bowing their heads. and Xia Xianqing, who is still lazily hugging and dancing in his arms.

"Stand down, all of you."

"No"

With the old lady's faint command, the dancers and musicians who were standing aside also responded in unison. Then they all quietly retreated outside the house. And the beautiful dancer who was still being cleared by Xia and hugged her waist in her arms, although she also wanted to get up and leave. But her waist was being held by her master and she couldn't get out. Although I was anxious and scared, I didn't dare to move without permission. I could only lower my head and tremble helplessly, but I was very afraid of the old lady.

"What? I told you to step down, didn't you hear? ”

Just as the dancer lowered her head, still worried about what would happen next. The old lady's faint words came, but they were heard in her ears, like a thunderclap. Even if his body is weak, he can't take care of it anymore, and he hugs the young master of his waist. Hurriedly knelt on the soft couch where the main seat was like sitting on pins and needles, and suddenly knelt on the ground, bowing his head and exclaiming: "The maid doesn't dare!" Don't dare! Please, please punish the old lady! ”

"Bang bang bang!"

The dancer confessed as she kowtowed to the ground with her forehead. She was serious, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the real master of the Xia family, the old lady. Although she is a dancer in this summer mansion, the young master bought back from the county. It is a maid who dances for the pleasure of the young master. As a result, among the maidservants in the house, the status is much higher than that of other maidservants. But you are just a servant in your status, and how to please the young master, you are just a servant.

And when she and three other sisters were bought back into the house from the county. I heard from the people in the house... They weren't the only dancing maids bought back from the county by the young master. Originally, the young master had spent a lot of money from elsewhere to buy back a dancing maid who could sing and dance. The dancer, like the four sisters, was also good at sleeve dancing. can even dance and shake his sleeves, sing Yan Song Yale and win the favor of the young master.

But the dancer is cautious even though she is usually in the house. But because once the young master watched her dance and sing, he happened to meet the old lady coming. Relying on himself to win the favor of the young master, the etiquette is lost. But because of this, the old lady was dissatisfied, and soon the dancing maid disappeared in the house. And the young master is like no one. Naturally, no one in the mansion dared to mention the dancing maid, let alone where she went. But anyone can guess that the reason why this dancing maid disappeared must have something to do with the old lady...

"Not yet."

"No!"

The beautiful dancer, who had received the old lady's order again, hurriedly got up and walked out while making a promise. Only the main seat was left on the soft couch, and Xia Shiqing sat alone.

"Mother... Mother..."

Just as the room fell silent again, the old lady was watching indifferently, sitting alone and still sitting on the soft couch of Xia Shiqing. A young woman dressed in a fine costume walked in a little hastily through the door behind the old lady. As soon as she entered the house, she hurriedly walked to the old lady and whispered.

The woman in fancy clothes was seventeen or eighteen years old. Although the appearance is a little more ordinary, it is also dignified and atmospheric. When she was very timid, she gently called the old lady "Mother", and did not dare to say more. The atmosphere didn't dare to breathe, so he stood beside the old lady.

And Xia Shiqing also followed there, and the young woman in Chinese clothes walked into the house. So he got up from the soft couch, and walked out without looking at the old lady and the woman in gorgeous clothes. As soon as he walked past the old lady, the old lady said lightly: "Stop." ”

After listening to the old lady's words, Xia Shiqing, who took a few more steps forward, finally stopped. But he didn't turn around, but still had his back to the two.

"In the future, don't bring those idle people to the house."

"Humph! Promise! Is there anything else that my mother wants to do? If not, Shiqing will retire. ”

Xia Shiqing snorted lightly and replied lightly. The words are as if they were routine.

"Stand down."

The old lady said lightly after getting her son Xia Shiqing's very casual answer. Xia Xiqing, who got his mother's words, still walked out of the house without looking back. And the woman in the fancy dress couldn't help but sneak a glance at the back of Xia Xiqing who was leaving when Xia Xiqing left the house. There was also a slight look in his eyes. There is a faint sadness, there is also inexplicable helplessness, and there is a trace of resentment that is difficult to express to humanity.

"Lin Niang."

"Mother..."

As she spoke, the old lady turned to look at the woman in the costume who bowed her head respectfully. As soon as the woman in the fancy dress heard the old lady call her, she hurriedly replied.

Looking at the woman in a gorgeous costume who looked a little timid, the old lady couldn't help but feel soft in her heart. She also knows what kind of character her daughter-in-law is. Although she is a young lady in the house, because of her honest and obedient temperament, if it weren't for the fact that this house has the final say, and she has her own pressure to show her clear, I'm afraid that she will have to eat a lot of anger.

Over the years, she has been very sorry for her daughter-in-law. Although he has also reprimanded Shiqing many times and asked him to treat her well. But it was all taken as a deaf ear. Even the daughter-in-law's house... That's also never going.

"Alas! It's okay, you can step down. ”

"No"

The old lady spoke lightly, and sent her daughter-in-law away in a complicated mood. Then, after glancing at the silence in the house, he also went out of the house.

"Bang!"

A large hand slapped the vermilion lacquered wooden pillar in the corridor. But Xia Shiqing, who was a little annoyed, started a fire after walking out of the house. And at this time, beside him, there was also a famous young man who was also in his twenties. This young man was also born well, and he wore the clothes of the people in the house.

The young man saw that Xia Shiqing was angry, but he didn't dare to say much. just waited quietly on the side, looking at Xia Shiqing's uncertain and ugly face. But I also muttered in my heart... What's going on today? In the past, the old lady didn't care, the young master invited someone to come to the house to eat and drink. Why did you suddenly change sex today? Take care of the young master's affairs? ...

"Xia Xiang!"

Suddenly, Xia Shiqing, who was standing in front of the porch, said suddenly.

"The little one is here~ What do you want the young master to order?"

And the young man who was standing next to Xia Xiqing, still muttering in his heart, hurriedly replied.

"Humph! Sell Chunmei's woman to me! ”

Xia Shiqing snorted coldly and said lightly to Xia Xiang, who was standing beside him.

"What, what? Less, young master... Yes, you want to sell Chunmei?! ”

When Xia Xiang heard the young master's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect his young master to suddenly say this! That Chunmei is the most beautiful among the four dancing maids bought back from the county, and the sleeve dance is also the best one. At the beginning, he was the steward of his young master's side, and he went to the county to buy it back in person. It cost a lot of money, too! How... Why is there no reason, just sell it if you say it's sold?!

"What? Didn't understand what I said? ”

Xia Xiqing was a little displeased.

"Listen, I understand! The little one understands! ”

Xia Xiang was a clever person and hurriedly replied. But he didn't dare to go against his young master's will. Although there is a pity in his heart, since the young master insists on selling Chunmei, he naturally has to help the young master do it.

"Humph! It's good to understand! No matter how much, just sell that woman to me! ”

Xia Xiqing obviously didn't get angry when he mentioned Chunmei, and then continued. As he spoke, he walked to the front of the corridor again, ignoring Xia Xiang who was standing beside him.

"No..."

Xia Xiang bowed to the back of the young master leaving. The corners of his mouth showed a faint smile. Then he also stepped forward a few steps and walked far behind the young master.
