At dusk, the setting sun shines into the hall, pulling out long shadows.

Although the living room of the Thorn Shi Mansion was leisurely and elegantly furnished, there was absolutely no uncomfortable place, and the Lin Da Butler of the Jian'an Hou Mansion still had trouble sitting still.

He couldn't help but look to his right, where a woman and a teenager sat on a chair.

The woman looked no more than in her early thirties, and she was beautiful and richly dressed. The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his facial features were somewhat similar to hers, and he was quite handsome.

The girl came in and added tea again, but there was still no host to entertain the guests.

Butler Lin couldn't hold back and called the girl: "This sister." ”

The girl stopped and looked at him in surprise.

Butler Lin's face turned red, and he still asked, "I don't know if Second Mrs. Xu has returned home?" ”

The host said that he was not there, that is, he didn't want to see the guest, and he asked so deliberately, but it seemed uninteresting.

The girl gave a salute before replying, "Slave and maid, let's ask." ”

After that, she walked out quickly, and whether she asked or not, I don't know.

After waiting for a long time, the woman was a little impatient, put down the teacup, pursed her lips gently, and said, "There is a lack of a housewife." ”

This is saying that the other party has lost the rudeness, so I am still tired of waiting.

The young man glanced at his mother and apologized: "It's all my fault." ”

As soon as the woman said this, she raised the teacup again and regained her composure: "It's okay, my mother can wait for this time." ”

What else can I do if I don't wait?

This is Nanyuan, the place of the Xu family.

Since twenty years ago, the Green Forest Army had a big trouble, and the imperial court was not able to control the king by recruiting troops from all over the country.

Xu Huan, the assassin of Nanyuan, made great contributions to quelling the chaos at the beginning, and he has not moved his nest for more than ten years, and the government and military affairs are not leaky.

Although he held a piece of edict left behind, when he arrived in Nanyuan, Xu Huan had the final say.

The dragon is trapped in the shallows, the tiger falls in Pingyang, and it is necessary to bow his head.

Otherwise, she would not have taken her son to apologize to a little girl.

That's right, apologize to a little girl-

Mrs. Jian'anhou's face distorted for a moment, and she quickly regained her proper smile.

If you want to talk about the reason for this, she is quite proud of being a mother.

But he said that his own Hou Ye came to Nanyuan at the beginning of the year to take office. It's just that Qi Ming, the son of the world, is too good, and he has attracted the attention of the ladies in the city as soon as he comes. That Miss Xu San, Xu Yin, has always been unwilling to be a queen, and she also chases people every day.

The day before yesterday, a literary meeting was held in Mingde Building, and everyone liked whose poems and texts they liked, and they gave them flowers. With a wave of her hand, Miss Xu San ordered someone to collect the flowers in the whole building and give them to Qi Ming.

Mrs. Jian'anhou knew that her son was a little sick, and it was a shame to get the first place like this. He couldn't hold back for a while, and scolded Miss Xu San on the spot.

Miss Xu San is used to being powerful, when has she been humiliated like this? The scene was chaotic for a while, and I don't know why, I fell from the second floor and fell into the lake.

Xu Huan lost his wife at an early age, and only had two daughters under his knees, and his love was like a pearl in the palm of his hand. Especially the small one, almost spoiled to the sky.

It's a good thing now, Miss Xu San has suffered such a big loss, and no one knows what will happen later.

Fortunately, Xu Huan went out on business and hasn't come back yet.

Mrs. Jian'an Hou hurriedly took her son and came to the door to make amends first.

At this time, the director of the house is in the second room. But Mrs. Jian'anhou sat for an afternoon, and she didn't see Mrs. Xu's face, which was really embarrassing.

……

In the West Courtyard of the Assassin's Mansion, that girl really reported to Second Mrs. Xu.

Second Miss Xu Jia asked, "Mother, aren't you going to see guests?" ”

Second Mrs. Xu sent the girl away and continued to sort out the accounts: "Why do you want to see you?" ”

Xu Jia said: "After all, it is Mrs. Jian'anhou, not to mention that this matter is the fault of the third sister." ”

Second Mrs. Xu paused for a moment and asked her, "Why is it your third sister's fault?" ”

Seeing that she had the intention of defending, Xu Jia couldn't help but shout: "She chases after Qi Shizi every day, and she doesn't care about the dignity of the Assassin Mansion, is she still doing the right thing?" Moreover, she stirred up the Wenhui and made Qi Shizi laughed at, no wonder people were angry. ”

Second Lady Xu looked at her meaningfully.

Xu Jia was seen as weak-hearted, and couldn't help shrinking: "Mother, mother, mother......"

Second Mrs. Xu said lightly: "She is not the only one who chases Qi Shizi every day, although the matter of the Wenhui is inappropriate, but in the final analysis, it is nothing that the child is messing around." Jiajia, she is a younger sister, and as a sister, you must know to protect her. ”

Xu Jia showed an angry look: "Mother, I naturally know how to protect my sisters, but you can't ask me to carry the black pot every time, right?" It was her own trouble, but my father came to scold me, saying that I didn't take a good look at her. ”

Thinking of it, Xu Jia got angry. She is the same age as Xu Yin, and since she was a child, Xu Yin has relied on the favor of her elders to do nonsense and cause trouble everywhere, but because she has a good father, she has nothing to do. And as long as you get a little bit of it, you will be scolded.

Just like this time, it was obvious that Xu Yin had to go to Mingde Building, but she was to blame.

But Second Mrs. Xu didn't comfort her, but said, "Don't blame you, who do you blame?" Can your father still scold her? ”

Xu Jia choked and almost cried: "Mother! ”

Seeing her like this, Second Mrs. Xu slowed down her tone and said softly: "Okay, my mother knows that you are wronged, but our family can be so beautiful, it is because of your uncle, people must know how to repay it." ”

The Xu family was originally just a squire, with hundreds of acres of land at home, and there were a few talented people in their ancestors. That is, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and no matter how much you have, you won't have it.

Who knew that there was a Xu Huan later, and the young man was smart and passed the exam in one fell swoop, and the official became bigger and bigger, creating such a family business.

The scenery of the Xu family is all because of him, and his beloved daughter is naturally the treasure of the whole family.

It's a pity that he has nothing to show except for his two daughters.

Thinking of this, Second Lady Xu smiled slightly.

In addition to this daughter, she also gave birth to the only male child of the next generation of the Xu family. The uncle has no parents, so this family business will naturally be passed on to her son.

For this, what is it to lift Xu Yin to the sky? No matter how much you spoil it, it's a girl, and when you're older, you can just marry it thickly, and you can't compete for this idleness.

Second Mrs. Xu then explained: "Ah Yin has suffered this loss in vain, and your uncle will definitely be angry when he comes home." Tell Mrs. Jian'an Hou to wait, and then send her away later. ”

As long as the uncle knows that the second room is angry for Xu Yin, as for whether it will have an impact if she offends the Jian'an Hou Mansion, and whether Xu Yin's reputation will be worse, she doesn't care.

Second Mrs. Xu made up her mind and picked up the teacup to drink, but saw her henchman coming in from outside, and said, "Madam, the third lady has gone to entertain the guests herself." ”

Second Mrs. Xu was defenseless, a sip of hot tea was almost poured into her chest, and she finally stabilized it, and she didn't care about wiping it, and hurriedly asked, "How does the third lady know?" Isn't she bedridden? ”
