"Forget about this guard, Mu Xiu? This Mu Xiu has come to visit his cousin, right? "Xue's words are not big, but the domineering and straightforward in his words is undoubtedly obvious.

Although the Xue family was rude, the Gu family still did not get angry, and explained generously, "The eldest brother has not returned home for several days after receiving the imperial mission, and as for where he went, we don't dare, let alone ask." ”

Gu Shi took a sip of tea and looked at the sister-in-law who sat up, stirred the handkerchief and wiped the tears and confronted him. It's really used to being used to by my in-laws, which is not enough in Huohuo Yong'an Earl's Mansion, and I still have to run back and toss.

It's no wonder that his father refused to go back to the house even after hiding out several times, even if he went home, he left in a hurry and took advantage of official business. If he didn't know who he was, Gu would have been suspicious.

"Your sister-in-law is right, the eldest brother has been doing things for the emperor, and he is doing things under Zi and Niangniang, so don't bother him with those troublesome things on weekdays."

The old lady Wang has always loved her daughter, but no matter how much she can't go past the eldest brother, she is the eldest son and grandson of the Xue family, and she is valued by the royal family, and she is afraid that she will be much more beautiful than her own son in the future.

"It's not that the eldest brother deliberately makes a trip, just send a message, it's not easy to do." Xue hurriedly went straight to the point.

"This ......," the old lady looked at her daughter-in-law.

Gu sighed, this old lady cherishes her eldest daughter and can't surpass her eldest grandson, but she doesn't want to be a bad person, does she understand or can't understand this look?

"Big sister, this eldest brother is the emperor's mission, and he often serves by His Majesty and the Queen Mother's side, this is the glory of Qi." Gu Shi's hand holding the silk handkerchief tightened, without hesitation, "But that's the case, the more cautious we are, aren't we?" ”

Xue's face darkened, and she could see it clearly.

The mother hesitated, and the eldest sister-in-law was unwilling at all. just crawled over with a hairy head, that second brother has no official body and no fame, and he is soft-spoken, how can he help her brother Heng out of this evil breath!

"Mother~"

Looking at the swollen eyes of the eldest daughter, the old lady was distressed

"Okay, okay, don't bother him, big brother, he's very busy, he's doing big things, go to your brother."

Xue Shi was very happy when he got the old lady's words, and turned around and said to Gu Shi.

"Sister-in-law, look, I have spent all my makeup, do you have a new rouge gouache from my brother, how about letting my sister freshen up?"

"What else?" Gu sighed in his heart.

Although I know that this sister-in-law is a drunkard, she doesn't mean to drink, but she can't help but let people go.

She didn't want to meddle in a bunch of between her sister-in-law and the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion, and it wasn't that she was unkind, mainly because this sister-in-law relied on the power of the Guogong Mansion to really act as a blessing in her mother's family, and she was overbearing, and she didn't know how many lives she had killed.

And her son is also, not a decent gentleman.

Before he was fifteen, none of the slightly more watery maids in the courtyard escaped his cruelty.

There was a big fuss and several lives were lost, which alarmed Jingzhao Mansion, and the eldest sister-in-law couldn't hold it herself, so she secretly relied on the name of her mother's family to go to other Rao relationships and settle Jingzhao Mansion.

In the end, his unlucky husband didn't know what was going on, so he was demoted from a good gambler to a second-grade Guanglu doctor.

The old lady was also angry, but she just scolded the eldest sister-in-law.

The husband also said several times, but the old lady promised well, and when she came back to her senses, she was gone by the eldest sister-in-law in a word.

Counting carefully, the private rooms left by the father-in-law for the old lady are afraid that they will be coaxed by the eldest sister-in-law.

"Big sister laughs, where is it given by the husband, it's all made up by the maids below, if the sister likes it, although those are." Gu Shi turned around and instructed Fang's mother next to him, "You take Mrs. Gu over and serve you wholeheartedly, don't let the people next to you rush over." ”

Xue rolled his eyes and asked, "Won't the eldest sister-in-law go with you?" ”

"I still have some things, so I won't be together, Fang's mother is the most familiar, with her, my sister can rest assured."

"Go ahead, and sit down with your sister-in-law." The old lady said this, and it was not easy for the Xue family to continue to ask the doubts in her heart.

After the old lady said goodbye, the two followed each other through the weeping flower gate and to the verandah.

"Sister-in-law, what the hell is going on? But what's inconvenient. Xue Shi held the beauty fan in his hand, and looked at Gu's every move with half-covered eyes, to find out what was hidden.

Seeing her pull up her ear hair, she already had a plan in her heart.

Gu Shi smiled slowly, "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter for the people, but it involves a few people, so I went to ask, lest there be some bias in charge after a long time, and this huge mansion will not be able to live in peace." ”

"Sister-in-law is the fairest." Xue's flattering words, in fact, she looked down on this bereaved eldest daughter in her heart, what kind of character is his brother, how could he marry this bereaved eldest daughter because of his fingertips, although his mother cared about his deceased hall sister, there was no such thing.

What's more, this Gu family is still proud everywhere, isn't it that there is an eldest princess of the emperor's sister as a stepmother. Looking at the scenery on the surface, it is not sad behind the scenes.

How much the eldest princess can spoil her, isn't it just to save face. Several grandmothers in the palace are in charge of the restraints, what is there to be happy about.

At the fork in the road, the two separated.

Seeing that Xue had been looking at the direction of his wife's departure, he followed behind his aunt and reminded his mother, "Mrs. Gu, please." ”

Xue Shi glanced at Fang's mother, "Don't I know the way?" You're talking too much here. ”

Mother Fang hung her head, "Mrs. Gu taught me a lesson." ”

Xue Shi took a few steps forward, and Yu Guang saw that Fang's mother was still with her head down, so she quickly took off the red jade drop bead earrings from her ear, and began to shout when she received them in her sleeve, "Huh? Where's my pendant? ”

Fang's mother raised her head and saw that Xue's left ear was indeed bare, but on the other side was a red jade drop earring with excellent color. Fang's mother was originally a female official in the palace, and she was in charge of jewelry and finance at the front master, and she still had a great eye for these things.

"Mrs. Gu, don't worry, this was still in the hall just now, and it must have fallen on the house, so naturally it can be found."

Xue nodded, and then suddenly said, "In that case, you can go and find it, I'm ......" Xue looked around and saw a pavilion not far away, so he said, "It's a little stuffy in the hall, so go to the pavilion and sit down, you can find it and see me later." ”

"This ......"

Seeing that Fang's mother was a little hesitant, Xue Shi became more determined in his heart, and scolded, "Just now, your master wanted your heart to serve, this is what you call your heart?" Is this a slave and a bully? ”

Mother Fang hung her head, "Don't dare, don't dare, the slave will go." ”

Xue's smile was hidden behind the beauty's fan, and when he couldn't see Fang's mother anymore, he lifted his skirt and quietly walked in the direction of Gu's just now.
