Xia Mu was talking to Guan in the study, and a little servant came outside to report: "Old lady, bring the adult to visit with Mrs. Hui, and I am waiting outside for a while." ”

"Put, sir?" Xia Mu was stunned and looked at Guan.

"My family has never had anything to do with the Jiajia, and they are probably here for Shu'er's business." Guan Shi thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Shu'er......" Xia Mu also knew about this, and he hesitated a little: "I said last time, I'm afraid that my family doesn't look down on our family, and I'm afraid it's not a good thing to come this time." ”

is also an official, for so many years, he has always been a five-grade, but Yan Huan has been rising steadily, and he has risen to the top.

He is not good at clinging, and he is not familiar with Yan Huan, but he knows him well, and he knows some of his personality and knows that he has always looked down on people with low official positions.

In addition, Yun Ting's appearance is good, he reads well, and he is a descendant, so he concluded that his family is not as good as his daughter.

"That's a matter of two children, what if he can't look at it? It has nothing to do with him, and it doesn't matter if he says it, I think he can't hold Yun Ting's temperament. Guan didn't pay much attention when he heard this.

She had already known that Yun Ting's upright temperament would definitely be fulfilled what she promised, and if it weren't for him doing what he said, she wouldn't have been able to say it at the beginning.

"How can it be so easy for a child's marriage to be in charge of his own affairs? Do you think everyone understands you and me? Xia Mu sighed softly and looked at her with some melancholy: "Then they are here today, look at what this means...... How are you going to be? ”

He was born with an indifferent temperament, so he was an idle official, and he was neither in charge nor in charge on weekdays, and the family was under the control of the Guan family inside and out, and he didn't know how to face such a thing.

"Don't be afraid." Guan Shi simply took everything over: "Wait for what they say in a while, you just have to go through the motions, and naturally I will deal with it." ”

"Done." Xia Mu raised his hand at the little maid: "Go and ask the adults to go to the front hall." ”

"Yes." The little guy turned and walked out.

Guan sorted out Xia Mu's clothes, and the two went to the front hall together.

Before he could sit down at the door, Yan Huan and Lian Yanru also entered the door.

"Take your lordship." Xia Mu arched his hand, and there were no extra polite words.

He is like this, he is not sociable, and he can't slap his beard, and he just blindly does his job in the officialdom, and doesn't ask about other things.

"Lord Xia." Yan Huan bowed slightly.

"This is Madame, please come in." Guan greeted him with a smile.

Even Yanru smiled back, and the couple both entered the door.

"Come on, get some tea." Guan Shi commanded his subordinates, and came back to his senses to greet them: "My lord, please sit down with my wife." ”

"Mrs. Xia is polite." Lian Yanru replied with a smile, waited for Yan Huan to sit down, and then sat down.

Xia Mu and Guan also sat down, and Guan asked with a smile: "The adults and the wife are very busy, how can they have time to come to the cold house today?" ”

"It's just a matter of taking some time." Lian Yanru smiled politely.

Yan Huan and Xia Mu were silent, and only the two women and Taoists exchanged a few words of tacit greetings, and the next person served tea.

Even Yan Ru didn't touch the teacup, so she smiled and said, "Today, I came with my master, and I didn't inform him in advance, so I shouldn't have taken the liberty of bothering, so I won't beat around the bush and delay your time." ”

"Tell me Madame." Guan raised his hand and said politely.

"Mrs. Xia should have guessed our intentions, right? We are here for my family. Lian Yanru glanced at Yan Huan, and saw that he was expressionless, so she continued: "My lord has been busy saying goodbye to Yunting recently, but he has mentioned several girls, and the child refuses to nod his head when he says anything.

I, as a mother, naturally want to ask, but he still refuses to say, and then you don't laugh, I still asked the little maid in the family to pay attention, only to know that he had a private agreement with other girls outside for life. ”

When she said this, she paused deliberately, saying that "other girls" were saving face for the Xia family, and she felt that this was tactful enough.

Guan still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold, she also estimated that these two people were afraid that it would be worse today, but she still hoped that things would be good, but looking at Lian Yanru's statement, she was afraid that her expectations would be disappointed.

Lian Yanru continued: "Mrs. Xia, the five-grade official of your family, Lord Xia, is not small in the local area.

People see it, you are also called 'madam', I think your background is not bad, we are girls since childhood parents have been taught, private life is not right, especially the girl's family, if it is spread out, it will be ugly.

It's one thing whether the family affair can succeed or not, but if the reputation is gone, whether you can marry in the future is another matter. ”

Guan chuckled twice and said: "Don't hide it from my wife, I really wasn't born in a big family, I was just a country woman, thanks to my lord, I looked up to me, and the two of us used to be privately decided for life." ”

When Lian Yanru heard this, her face changed slightly, this Guan family is really shameless, and he can actually say such a thing: "What Mrs. Xia said, don't be funny with me, didn't Lord Xia's original wife go?" ”

"Exactly." Guan said with a smile: "My lord and I have known each other since childhood, and we promised each other for life early, but unfortunately, his parents looked down on me at that time, but what did I say later?"

Isn't it still me sitting in Mrs. Xia's position now? What about the nasty things that people out there say about me? I'm no worse off, and although my lord doesn't have much to offer, he treats me well, and I'm content. ”

Although she is not from a high background, she has already experienced the warmth and coldness of human affection, and she has been suspended again, and the secular etiquette or something is nothing but Erer in her eyes, and others ridicule her, but it is just a gust of wind, and she doesn't care at all.

And what she said meant was that it was for Yan Huan and his wife, you don't call Yunting to marry my family Jingshu now, but the position of Yunting's wife will be my family Jingshu sooner or later.

Even Yanru never thought that there was such a woman in this world, all she saw on weekdays were the wives of some big families, all of them were powerful characters, but they all loved their faces like their lives.

Where is there such a thing? She picked out the matter clearly, and said the ugly things, but she told her that she had nothing to say.

After thinking about it slightly, she had an idea, looked at Guan Shi with a smile and said, "I heard that Mrs. Xia does not have biological children, and the children under her knees were left by the previous wife?" ”

"Exactly." Guan didn't hide it, even if he recognized it.

Lian Yanru smiled and said: "Neither is it biological, Mrs. Xia is understandable for saying this, I am like you, and I also understand the pain of being a stepmother, after all, Yunting is not my biological either." ”
