Chapter 51: Irony

The elders all said this, Xu Jiao had to go to Shou'an Hall with Wu Zhan, in fact, she didn't want to go to this kind of place that was obviously a house fighting style.

The carriage is parked outside Shouando, and you need to walk a little way to get in.

Wu Zhan got out of the car first, turned around and was about to help Xu Jiao, but saw that she had jumped off cleanly.

The servants waiting outside couldn't help frowning when they saw this scene, and glanced at Xu Jiao's feet, and found that it was Tianzu, not bound by feet, and the disdain in their eyes was even heavier.

Xu Jiao didn't understand their eyes, but she didn't know why they were like this, was it because she was jealous of her beauty?

Xu Jiao couldn't help but be intoxicated, but although she had a good skin, she had to admit that this Wu Zhan next to her was better-looking, so she couldn't be jealous of her in front of him.

Xu Jiao came to Shou'an Hall in her thoughts, this hall is simple and elegant, and you can see the ornaments of the year everywhere, in Xu Jiao's words, they are all treasures.

There was incense in the hall, smelling like sandalwood, Xu Jiao didn't like it very much, but she could accept it.

Wu Zhan strode in and knelt and kowtowed to the old lady in the first seat.

"Grandma, my grandson has said hello to you."

The old lady was full of silver threads, trembling and about to get up and help Wu Zhan up, muttering: "It's good to come back, where can I use you to make such a big salute, hurry up." ”

Wu Zhan got up at this time and greeted the people around him: "The second aunt is good, the third aunt is good." ”

Wu Zhan first greeted a plainly dressed woman on the right, this was his second aunt, and the third aunt was a somewhat flamboyant woman, and they all responded to Wu Zhan with a smile.

Wu Zhan finally looked at a woman on the left, this woman was wearing dark purple clothes, her hair was meticulously combed, and she had the most upright sideburns, and when she saw Wu Zhan looking at her, she raised her chin slightly.

Wu Zhan didn't bow his head to her, but said directly: "I came back alive, my mother must be very disappointed." ”

This shocked everyone in the hall to sit up straight, and the old lady in the first seat asked her grandson with a surprised face: "What's the matter?" How to say such things to your mother. ”

Although she doesn't like this daughter-in-law very much, she has given birth to a son and a daughter for her son, and the old lady will still give her the respect she should give.

Sheng Huiyuan, Wu Zhan's nominal mother, laughed instead of being angry: "It's okay, Zhan'er is still young, and I don't blame him for occasionally saying things that shouldn't be said." ”

After that, she turned her eyes to Xu Jiao and quickly changed the topic: "This girl is your guest?" How did you bring a girl back directly? ”

Xu Jiao saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her, and she didn't have stage fright, and she was slightly blessed forward: "I am from Yuehua Country, I saved Wu Zhan, who was seriously injured at the time, and he brought me back to play for a while." ”

This passage not only explained why she was here, but also told the others that Wu Zhan had been injured before.

The old lady was really excited when she heard this, and the mustard that had come to their house casually because of this girl was gone all at once.

"Zhan'er, why are you injured, where are you injured? Show grandma. The old lady was so excited that she couldn't wait to take a look at Wu Zhan's clothes on the spot.

Wu Zhan hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay grandma, thanks to Miss Xu for saving me, my injuries have long been healed." ”

The old lady looked at Xu Jiao with a smile: "Miss Xu, thank you for saving Zhan'er, good girl, sit down and talk." ”

Xu Jiao sat down with Wu Zhan at this time, Sheng Huiyuan looked at Xu Jiao and asked, "The girl came to such a far place, and the family agreed?" ”

Xu Jiao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Thank you Madame for your concern, my father agreed, and he also sent guards to protect me." ”

After speaking, she also pointed to Wu Fa, who was holding a sword outside the hall, and Wu Fa straightened his waist even straighter.

Sheng Huiyuan continued to speak: "Just now I heard from the person at the door that the girl is neat and heroic. ”

The people in the hall couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and they all lowered their heads, Wu Zhan's second and third aunts all frowned, as if they felt that it was a little inappropriate for the sister-in-law to talk about other girls with guns and sticks like this.

The country of Qi has a lot of constraints on women, and women are beautiful with small feet and lotus steps. As long as it is not a poor family and needs girls to work, those with a slightly better family background will bind their daughters' feet from an early age, and if their daughters are not bound by their feet, it will be difficult to marry out of a large family.

The women here are beautiful in terms of weakness and submissiveness, and Sheng Huiyuan is ridiculing Xu Jiao when he says this.

Xu Jiao didn't hear it, but thought she was praising herself, and hurriedly said: "I've won the award, I'm not that good, I just play whip on weekdays, and I'm not a master of everyone." ”

Sheng Huiyuan's sarcastic words that were about to come out were choked back by Xu Jiao's words, what's the matter with this girl, why can't she understand people's words?

Wu Zhan heard the meaning, and didn't want his stepmother to continue to treat his friend slowly, so he chatted with his grandmother for a few words and pulled Xu Jiao up to say goodbye.

"Grandmother, my grandson has just come back, and there are still a lot of things to tidy up, so I'll go back first."

The old lady nodded kindly, and did not forget to instruct: "We had dinner together as a family that night, and your father will come back in the evening, and Miss Xu will also come." ”

Wu Zhan responded one by one and took Xu Jiao out of Shou'an Hall.

Seeing that this girl was looking left and right with wide eyes, she must have really not taken those sarcastic words to heart, Wu Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly to Xu Jiao: "She treated you like this today, I will definitely seek justice for you in the future, you don't have to worry about being angry with yourself." ”

Xu Jiao looked confused, what's wrong with her? Did you miss something? Why can't she understand a word of what this man says?

She asked what she thought, and Wu Zhan knew that she really didn't understand Sheng Huiyuan's words just now, and told her about the twists and turns under Xu Jiao's obsession.

Xu Jiao was dumbfounded when she heard this, women in Yuehua Country also regard softness as beauty, but they will not be bound by those rules and regulations.

The women of Yuehua Kingdom never have to wrap their feet, and they will not go out of the door, if they have an appointment, they can also go directly to the street with their little sisters, and they don't need to wear any veils, just go home before dark.

I didn't expect Qi to be so strict with women here, it was difficult for women to even get out, she was a real boudoir woman, she could only stay in the boudoir before she got married, and if she wanted to go out, she had to report to her family again and again, and walk with her family.

Sure enough, it's better to be Yuehua Kingdom, Xu Jiao sighed, if Yuehua Kingdom is the same as Qi Kingdom, there must be no ministers who support her father to make her heir.

The carriage drove away as soon as they got off, and now they had to walk back, but fortunately, Wu Zhan's yard was not far from here, and it would be there in half an hour.

The place where Xu Jiao lived was the largest guest room in his courtyard, and it had long been properly arranged, but Xu Jiao was not very satisfied, and ran to ask Wu Zhan for advice.

"This room doesn't look like a room for girls at all, it's like a room for scholars who are rushing to take the exam."
