Among the three brothers of the Zhao family, the marquis Zhao Yuanxun is tall and thin, with a sickly face, and he seems to know that he is a sick seedling; Zhao Yuanliang is thin and small in comparison. Neither of them looks like behind the gate.

Only the third master, Zhao Yuankun, is very tall and looks very strong.

His expression was very serious, and he only bowed slightly to Xu Xi and said, "It's good to come back." Raising his hand, a mother-in-law also took a box up, opened it for everyone to see, inside is a pair of jade paperweights, look at the texture and carving, it is very good.

In this way, the serious master of the Hou Mansion, Xu Xi has seen them all.

Zhao Yuanliang said: "Your accommodation has been arranged, right?" Did anyone accompany you? As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked into the room.

Mama Ruan, who had been silently following behind her, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Second master, the old lady and the eldest lady sent the old slave to lead the fifth girl back." The second lady, the fourth girl, and the sixth girl were also waiting, so that they could accompany the fifth girl back to the second room. ”

Zhao Yuanliang was relieved at this time, nodded and said, "That's good." ”

Xu Xi saluted knowingly: "In this way, Xi'er will retire." ”

"Go ahead."

When Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jing'an saw Xu Xi go out, they also hurriedly followed her out and sent them to the gate of the courtyard, and then turned back.

On the way back, Mama Ruan smiled and said: "The fifth girl also saw that the master of the house, whether it is the old lady, the master, the lady, the young master, the young lady, the young lady, the young lady, are all good people, and the relationship is also harmonious." When they see girls, they only care and love. ”

"Yes, thank you Mama Ruan for mentioning it." Xu Xi responded, but he didn't think so.

Although the novel does not say much about the relationship between the Hou Mansion, it is occasionally mentioned. The Hou Mansion seems to be harmonious, but there are also many contradictions inside.

There is a faint mention in the plot that the Hou Ye Zhao Yuanxun was not born so weak, but was victimized by the concubine of the grandfather of the country. Because of this, the old lady's attitude towards the concubine is not good, not only does she not give half help in the future, but also tries to suppress it from time to time, lest they have a chance, and the Hou Mansion will change.

Zhao Yuanliang is okay, he is incompetent, his ambition is not big, and he can't make many waves; But Zhao Yuankun is a very ambitious and capable person. He wanted to get ahead in martial arts, but because of the suppression of his mother-in-law, he had to succumb to the Hou Mansion and live a life of inaction, and he was very unwilling.

In the end, the catastrophe in the Hou Mansion was caused by him.

Zhao Yuankun only married his wife Su and did not take concubines. Su Shi seems to be weak to the point of being weak and incompetent, but in fact he is also a scheming person. Although there is no mention of anything bad she has done in the novel, the heroine Zhao Ruyu has a very bad impression of her.

This kind of relationship is complicated and everyone has different intentions, but Mama Ruan said that the relationship is harmonious, which is a joke in Xu Xi's opinion.

Not long after the two left, they saw Wei's maid Luqi.

"The fifth girl, the lady, the fourth girl, and the sixth girl are waiting in the gazebo in front. I'm worried that the girl has gone wrong, so let the slave wait for you here. Lu Qi smiled.

Seeing this, Mama Ruan stopped and said to Xu Xi: "Since the second lady is waiting for the girl here, the old slave will go back to give the old lady and the eldest lady their lives." ”

"Thank you Mama Ruan, Mama has worked hard."

Xu Xi went abroad a lot in his previous life, followed the customs of the locals, and had the habit of tipping. Mama Ruan has been running very hard these days, and she still respects Xu Xi, Xu Xi feels that she should be rewarded at this time. But I received a lot of greeting gifts just now, but I didn't receive a single silver or copper coin, and I was shy in my pocket, so I could only pretend that there was no such thing.

Mama Ruan returned to the main courtyard, and Xu Xi followed Lu Qi to the pavilion.

"Why has it been so long?" As soon as Wei saw Xu Xi, he frowned and complained, and he didn't ask her to sit, he slowly finished the snack in his hand and drank another cup of tea, and then Shi Shiran got up and went to the direction of the second room.

That's right, just after such a while, Wei Shi didn't know where to get snacks and tea, sat by the cool breeze lake and drank tea and ate snacks, and complained with a face when it was over.

Xu Xi was silent. On a hot day, she was also hot just now, so she just stood here to rest for a while. After Wei Shi finished eating and got up, she followed behind with a leisurely expression.

On the other hand, Zhao Rurui and Zhao Ruyu, probably because of Wei's low air pressure, both hung their heads and did not say a word, looking timid and angry. At this time, seeing Wei and Xu Xi leaving with their front and back feet, the two got up and followed behind.

Wei didn't know if there was a ghost behind him, and he walked quickly with a maid, and Mama Li and Lu Qi also followed. Xu Xicai didn't bother to chase her, and only followed unhurriedly at his own pace. The five subordinates assigned to her naturally followed her.

Zhao Rurui didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Ruyu, but seeing this situation, she couldn't help but tug on Zhao Ruyu's sleeve, motioned her to look ahead, and asked with her eyes if she wanted to chase Wei.

Zhao Ruyu ignored her, took two steps in a hurry, and spoke to Xu Xi: "Sister, why did you think of going to the girls' academy exam?" I wanted to take the test too, but I've heard that it's so difficult. None of the little sisters around me were admitted to the academy. ”
