Chapter XXIII. There is a sister Jiarou.
The old housekeeper's mouth, formerly known as Yang Shoucheng, is the head of the Yang family located in the west of Changzhi City. Mobile Quick Reading: .1. Text version of the first {bubble, book. Head. And the Yang family is also a small landlord class in Changzhi City, and the family has a lot of land, although it is not very rich and expensive, but it can be regarded as worry-free.
The Yang family and the Xiao family originally had nothing to do with each other, but this Yang Shoucheng's wife was Xiao Mo's grandmother Liu's sister, Liu Lanfeng.
The Liu family, where the Liu family was born, was one of the top landlords in Changzhi City back then, and the Liu family, where Liu Laosan, who had played against Xiao Shenxing for many years, was just a remote side branch of the Liu family back then. But although the family wealth is not weak, the Liu family is unlucky, like the Xiao family in recent years, there are only two women, Liu and Liu Lanfeng.
At that time, the Liu family had already shown the shrewdness and strength at this time when he was young, and he helped the elders of the aging family to keep the Liu family in good order, and was very favored by the elders of the Liu family. In comparison, Liu Lanfeng is much more mediocre, and she is worried about some small things all day long.
It's just that women have to marry after all, but the strong Liu family is married to Xiao Shenxing, who is far inferior to her in terms of family business and ability in the hearts of everyone, but Liu Lanfeng is married to Yang Shoucheng.
At the same time, perhaps because the Liu family's family business has always been taken care of by the Liu family, or because the Liu family is biased, in short, most of the Liu family's family business has become the Liu family's dowry, and the Xiao family has become one of the few wealthy families in Huanzhou, but what is left to Liu Lanfeng is just a house, two tilts of land, and even less than one-tenth of the Liu family's family business.
Whether it is Liu Lanfeng or Yang Shoucheng, they are not open-minded, and the Liu family's family business with hundreds of fields back then was too huge, because this matter had a lot of resentment against the Xiao family and the Liu family, so although the two families were in Changzhi City, they had never communicated for decades.
It is precisely because of this that when they heard that Liu Shoucheng and his wife came to visit, everyone in the main hall looked so strange.
Xiao Shenxing, Xiao Shenyan and the Liu family glanced at each other, and Xiao Shenxing said slowly: "Anyway, since people are here, let's go and greet them." ”
As he spoke, Xiao Shenxing stood up first and led everyone towards the front yard.
Along the way, the Xiao family members who heard the news followed behind Xiao Shenxing, everyone looked weird, but no one expected Yang Shoucheng and Liu Lanfeng to come to visit.
When everyone was halfway there, they saw a group of people walking towards everyone under the leadership of several subordinates.
The person at the head is a thin old man, with a medium stature, a white face and no beard, and an old woman next to him, similar in appearance to Liu's, but with a richer figure, it is Yang Shoucheng and Liu Lanfeng who came to visit.
Behind the two of them, there were several strange men and women, judging from their outfits, they should be servants of the Yang family.
Seeing Xiao Shenxing and the others ushering in, Yang Shoucheng took two quick steps, grabbed Xiao Shenxing's hands, and laughed: "Brother-in-law, you haven't seen any old age over the years, compared with back then, you are more energetic." ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Shenxing's eyes, and Yang Shoucheng seemed to have never been so polite to him in his memory, but he still said politely: "What don't you see old, you are in your sixties, and you can't live for a few years, but Shoucheng, although you haven't seen him for more than ten years, your spirit is still the same." ”
When Xiao Shenxing and Liu Shoucheng were polite, Liu Lanfeng also moved to Liu's side and spoke with a smile.
Looking at this affectionate scene, Xiao Mo couldn't help frowning, Xiao Mo didn't like hypocrisy, and the smiling appearance on Yang Shoucheng and Liu Lanfeng's faces made Xiao Mo really unbearable. The most important thing is the eyes of these two people, although they are smiling, but there is a thick cold color in their eyes, as if vultures are circling in the sky and patrolling the earth, waiting for death and decaying bones.
As everyone returned to the main hall, thinking of the scene that the Xiao family was facing at this time, and linking the sudden appearance of Yang Shoucheng and Liu Lanfeng at this moment, Xiao Mo frowned even deeper, things were weird, and there was always some kind of bad premonition in his heart.
While everyone was chatting, Xiao Mo beckoned behind him, and Xiao Yi came to his side quickly.
"You will tell the old housekeeper in a while, grandpa asked him to send someone to watch all the people from the Yang family to see what they are doing after they come to the Xiao family, none of them can relax, but they can't let them show up, you know?"
Xiao Mo settled softly.
A trace of doubt flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, but he still nodded and walked towards the old housekeeper.
And at this moment, Xiao Shenxing began to introduce the Xiao family's clansmen to Liu Shoucheng, and when Xiao Mo was introduced, Liu Shoucheng still laughed, patted Xiao Mo's shoulder, and said: "Mo'er is so old, oops, I happened to be sick when Mo'er was born, and I haven't been able to see you for so many years, come, Mo'er, this is a gift from grandpa." ”
As he spoke, Yang Shoucheng pulled down the jade pendant he was wearing around his waist and stuffed it into Xiao Mo's hand.
"Thank you, grandpa."
Xiao Mo said politely, hiding the disgust in his heart very well.
Then, Liu Lanfeng next to him also came over and praised Xiao Mo, to the effect that he praised Xiao Mo for being smart and promising in the future, both ancient and modern.
Then, I saw Liu Lanfeng turn her head and wave behind her, and called, "Rou'er, come here." ”
Under Liu Lanfeng's call, an eight or nine-year-old girl timidly came to Liu Lanfeng's side, in front of Xiao Mo.
Goose egg face, Joan nose and small mouth, big eyes are quite cute, but quite introverted, hanging his head and flashing his eyes dare not look at everyone.
The little girl had been hidden among the servants of the Yang family before, because she was too short, Xiao Mo had never been able to notice it.
Liu Lanfeng smiled and introduced to Liu: "This is the child of a distant relative of the Yang family, but unfortunately her parents died early, and I and the head of the family took pity on her for being lonely, so we took her to the house, this child is quite well-behaved, but she is a little afraid of people." ”
As she spoke, Liu Lanfeng lowered her head and said to the girl named Rou'er, "Rou'er, call someone." ”
Rou'er called out softly to everyone: "Grandpa, aunt, fourth grandfather, ......"
When she turned to Xiao Mo, Rou'er hesitated for a moment and then called softly, "Brother Mo." ”
With the appearance of Rou'er, Xiao Shenxing and the others naturally wanted to praise Rou'er for being beautiful and well-behaved, and after the politeness was over, Liu Lanfeng said to Rou'er: "Rou'er, I'll talk to your aunt and grandmother, and you go out with your brother Mo." ”
Rou'er obviously didn't dare to get along with strangers, and her expression was a little hesitant.
Seeing that Rou'er didn't listen to her words, a trace of anger flashed in Liu Lanfeng's eyes, and the kind look that she barely maintained was about to disappear, but it scared Rou'er's body to tremble, and she quickly nodded in agreement.
Seeing this scene, all the people of the Xiao family on the field frowned, judging from the changes in the expressions of Liu Lanfeng and Rou'er, it seems that although Liu Lanfeng is very affectionate to Rou'er in front of others, I am afraid that she will not be too good to Rou'er on weekdays.
Xiao Mo sighed secretly, and didn't want to continue to pretend to be well-behaved and polite to these people, so he took this opportunity to bow to Yang Shoucheng and Liu Lanfeng, and said, "Grandpa, aunt, then I'll take Rou'er to play." ”
After everyone agreed, Xiao Mo took Rou'er's hand, turned around and left the main hall, and walked towards his room.
From afar, Xiao Yi ran briskly towards Xiao Mo.
