Xi Hongdou pondered that Chu Tong also had a bad reputation in the end, so he said: "Forget it, it's too immoral to ruin people's marriages, as long as you don't mix with me and you, she can do whatever she loves." ”

Xiao Zhi smiled, Xi Hongdou was still soft-hearted in the end, but since Xi Hongdou didn't want to do that, he wouldn't do it, but if Shao Yulin did anything that couldn't be put on the stage, he couldn't really think that he didn't know anything.

The next day, when Mrs. Xiao and Master Xiao arrived at the dinner table, they found that there were all people at the rare dinner today, so they asked Xiao Zhi: "Why didn't you leave early today?" ”

"There's no rush today." Xiao Zhi said, and then gave Xi red beans a dish.

The husband and wife are like glue, very affectionate, Shao Yulin's face is green, Mrs. Xiao is not a wooden person, how can she not detect the weirdness of this atmosphere, even Master Xiao only cares about eating without raising his head.

"The prince has also been back for a few days, and Yulin's entry into the palace should also be prepared. Although Yulin has a lot of clothes, the style of Jingzhong has not been seen, so in the past two days, I have also made two more sets of new clothes and selected fabrics. Mrs. Xiao said, they are all women, who can't see who? After what happened before, she can be regarded as seeing it, and if she keeps Shao Yulin, she is afraid that she will cause trouble.

Shao Yulin smiled and said, "Thank you, aunt." ”

Xiao Zhi said at this time: "That's just right, make a few sets of red beans, and she didn't like it before." ”

Mrs. Xiao nodded and said, "It's okay, then choose a piece of fabric." ”

"Don't use a piece, let my cousin go first, my cousin is the one who wants to enter the palace, and if there is a good one, it must be used by my cousin." Xi Hongdou said generously, her clothes are enough to wear, and the Xiao family doesn't care about her food and clothing, but she usually doesn't wear long and floating clothes when she goes out, so her style is basically simple and capable.

Shao Yulin was sad, one by one she entered the palace, and now it is difficult for her to ride a tiger, so she said: "There is no word about entering the palace, not to mention that this is what my father and mother meant." ”

"My cousin is in her prime, and she must be favored when she enters the palace." Xi Hongdou said: "The prince has outstanding political achievements at a young age, and I have seen it, handsome!" ”

Shao Yulin smiled and didn't answer, with mixed feelings in her heart.

There are also Mrs. Xiao, Shao Yulin's temperament, I am afraid that if I enter the palace, I will cause trouble, and Master Xiao has also said before that if Shao Yulin enters the palace, the Xiao family will also be difficult.

"Since you don't want to enter the palace, why don't you find someone else?" Mrs. Xiao proposed: "The most important thing in this Kyoto city is the high-ranking officials and nobles, and it is not bad to marry anywhere. ”

Shao Yulin said: "Yulin doesn't want to marry. ”

"When a woman gets married, she will have a companion in the future, is it possible to be lonely and lonely for a lifetime?" Mrs. Xiao persuaded: "But in the end, your parents are in charge of your family affairs, although I say so, I can't really make decisions without going through your parents." ”

Shao Yulin's eyes rolled and said, "Then why don't you write a letter to my aunt and ask me to send it back to my hometown and ask my father what it means?" ”

"That's fine, although the lady in the palace is glamorous, she is not free, and Liangdi is the prince's concubine in the final analysis, how can it be better to marry an ordinary rich family and be a housewife?" Mrs. Xiao said that in the end, she was her niece, and she also hoped that Shao Yulin would have a good home.

Hearing this, Master Xiao was actually not too worried, anyway, he would be brushed down in the end, and the emperor didn't want to see the prince's East Palace and the courtiers have any too close relationship, especially now that the situation is complicated.

Xiao Zhi said at this time: "Mother, my cousin is also a person who may want to participate in the selection now, and I want to say that it is better to move to another courtyard to live first, so as not to leave some tongues." ”

Mrs. Xiao frowned, looked at Shao Yulin, and asked, "What does Yulin think?" ”

"No, my aunt's family is not an outsider." Shao Yulin said, her eyes also looking at Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi smiled: "Naturally, he is not an outsider, but there are foreign men in this house, and this is also for the good of my cousin." ”

"Foreigner?" Shao Yulin asked, remembering that it was Abu.

Mrs. Xiao said: "If you don't want to go out to live, then live, then Abu doesn't also want to go to the academy, just live in the academy." Then he looked at Xi Hongdou.

Xi Hongdou bowed his head directly and drank porridge, and Xiao Zhi said: "Abu doesn't need to go to the school, just ask Mr. to teach him at home, and I don't expect him to take the test, so naturally I don't need to live in the school."

Mrs. Xiao was stunned, didn't she already say it? How has it changed again?

Shao Yulin is not restrained in her heart, the little slave she bought is even more important than her, in this case, it should be the little slave who left the house and let him continue to live, right?

Mrs. Xiao was about to say something more, but Xiao Zhi said: "Abu is Hongdou's godbrother, and no one has gossiped in this mansion for so long. "The implication is that you Shao Yulin began to spread gossip when you came, and you can imagine who passed it on.

Shao Yulin's face flushed, she really couldn't hold it on her face, she got up and said, "Auntie, I've finished eating, I'll go back first, you and uncle eat slowly." Then he leaned over slightly and left first.

As soon as Xi Hongdou saw the people leaving, he secretly glanced at Mrs. Xiao, and when he saw that Mrs. Xiao was really staring at him, he hurriedly lowered his head again.

"Red Bean, didn't you say before that you would let Abu go to study outside the house?" Mrs. Xiao said.

Xi Hongdou smiled bitterly and said, "It's indeed ......"

Xiao Zhi said at this time: "Mother, don't just come to an outsider and say a few words to sow discord here, can you just use red beans to open the knife?" ”

"You're protecting again!" Mrs. Xiao frowned and said: "Although someone provoked this incident, but that Abu is indeed a foreign man, and I am also afraid that Hongdou's reputation will be damaged by doing this." ”

Xiao Zhi sighed: "As long as you don't destroy it, no one will destroy it, the house has been safe and sound for so long, my cousin used the same set in the family, it won't work at all in our family, and my mother was led by her nose, and no one believed it before, you have to believe it!" ”

"Aren't I also afraid that people outside the house will misunderstand if they don't know the situation, and when the gossip spreads, it will be too late!" Mrs. Xiao said.

Master Xiao spoke up at this time: "Don't worry about it, there is no shadow, you deliberately avoid suspicion, people really think it's true." ”

"How can you ......" Mrs. Xiao just wanted to refute, but Master Xiao hurriedly ate the rice in the bowl in two bites and said, "I'm done, I'll go to the yamen first!" Then he anointed the soles of his feet and ran.

Mrs. Xiao was speechless, and ran away after speaking, can she eat people or what?

"Don't learn from your father......" Mrs. Xiao turned around and Xiao Zhi Xi Hongdou continued, but Xiao Zhi also Xi Hongdou also hurriedly ate, after eating, one went to the yamen, the other went to the shop, and they all slipped away.

"Hey......!" Mrs. Xiao really has a headache, no one in the family listens to her!

After Shao Yulin returned to the room, she didn't feel good in her heart, and she was also very unpleasant to look at Yufen, if it wasn't for Yufen's mess before, she wouldn't be able to suffer this kind of anger in this mansion now.

But now she really has no choice, and even her aunt is not on her side, I'm afraid that she really can't stay in this Xiao Mansion. Originally, if Xiao Zhi was interested in her, maybe he could still hold on, but Xiao Zhi was so considerate to that little village girl that he didn't even look at her, even if he stayed, it would be useless.

"Yufen, you made a big mistake, and now you have a chance to make up for it, it's up to you to grasp it!" Shao Yulin said suddenly at this time.

Yufen looked up and nodded heavily.

She has been beaten by Shao Yulin several times in the past few days, and now if she can make up for it, she is naturally willing.

"Because of you, now my sister-in-law is very dissatisfied with me, and in the future, you will still bring a bowl of bird's nest to her every day, and say that it is to make amends." Shao Yulin said.

When Yufen heard this, she said, "But what if the young grandmother refuses to accept it......

"Then it's up to you, whether it's begging or kowtowing, you have to let her accept it, if you don't accept it, it's people who still hold a grudge!" Shao Yulin said.

Yufen was embarrassed, Xi Hongdou hated her, even if she really knelt down and kowtowed to beg Xi Hongdou to accept it, Xi Hongdou would definitely not accept it.

Seeing that Yufen refused to be obedient, Shao Yulin said: "If you don't go, then it's useless for me to keep you, it will only cause trouble for me to offend people, and I will directly sell you to the kiln to worry about it." ”

Yufen was scared, so she knelt down and begged Shao Yulin: "Please Miss don't sell me, I followed Miss when I was eight years old, Miss Nian has been loyal to me for so many years, please don't sell me!" ”

Shao Yulin was entangled in her heart, she had been with her for so many years, and she was really reluctant to sell her, but ......

"Then obediently go and make amends, and see you off every day in the future." Shao Yulin said.

Yufen nodded: "Miss, I'll go, as long as Miss doesn't sell me!" ”

The next day, as soon as Xi Hongdou came out of the door, he almost tripped up, and suddenly there was a big living person kneeling in front of the door, and if you look closely, it is Yufen.

"Yufen? Early in the morning, what are you doing here? After Xi Hongdou finished speaking, he saw Yufen holding something on the tray in her hand.

Yufen hurriedly said: "The slave maid is here to send bird's nest to the young grandmother!" ”

Xi Hongdou said: "You are the slave of your young lady, not counting in this house, don't you need to do this?" Get up first and then speak! ”

"Young grandma will take this bird's nest first." Yufen looked anxious.

When Xi Hongdou looked at the bird's nest, he said, "Didn't you say it before, I can't eat it without your young lady preparing these." ”

"Ask the young grandmother to accept it, my young lady said that because of the sins of the slave maid, the young grandmother is afraid that she will have a misunderstanding with my young lady, and now let the slave and maid send these, just to let the young grandmother dissipate her anger! If the young grandmother refuses to forgive the slave and maid, the slave and maid will keep kneeling. Yufen's voice was about to cry, if Xi Hongdou didn't accept it today, Shao Yulin would definitely sell her.

Xi Hongdou was embarrassed, so he said, "I'm not angry, you can get up too, bird's nest...... You just put it down first, and I'll eat it later. ”

Yufen saw that Xi Hongdou was willing to accept the bird's nest, cried with joy, and thanked her before leaving.
