As soon as Xu Ying got up, the daughter-in-law who had asked her to wait here just now was already looking for her at the door.

"Mrs. and Grandma have finished speaking, and now they are waiting for the young lady to pass."

At this time, the red bean also came, and he didn't take anything in his hand.

The daughter-in-law slapped her head, "I should be beaten, I forgot to serve the girl refreshments." Please follow me first, my wife is waiting for you. ”

Xu Ying nodded, and followed behind her with red beans.

When she came to the main room, Xu Ying was just about to salute, but she was stopped by Mrs. Gu's grandmother. Xu Ying saw clearly that there was a woman in purple clothes embroidered brocade in her forties sitting on the seat, thinking that this was Mrs. Gu of Xifu.

Beside her sat a young woman, in her mid-twenties. It's just that the clothes are cleaner than that of the Gu family, and even the hairpin ring on the head is very simple.

"I have long heard that Hongfei has a fiancée who has been married since she was a child, but I didn't expect it to be so standard, but it compared to the sisters in the yard."

The young woman looked at Su Jing, but she didn't expect to speak very neatly, so she came over directly and dragged Xu Ying to the couch next to her to speak, holding her hand and patting it gently, "It's really handsome, if my son could have been born a few years earlier, I would have grabbed it and treated you as a daughter-in-law." ”

Gu nodded the young woman's forehead with a smile and said, "You are a well-opened and broken household, this is the unfinished daughter-in-law of the Zhao family in Lixiang Courtyard, where can you worry about it?"

Besides, your Lin'er is only three years old this year, and she is still very young. ”

The young woman nodded.

Gu Shi smiled and took Xu Ying's other hand and asked, "How old are you, have you ever gone to school?" The child only said that your family lives in the capital, your mother has passed away, your father has disappeared, and now you are just living in a relative's house, which is not reassuring.

I must go to the capital to take you back to stay with you, this body, I look really too thin, I came here, but I have to make up for it. ”

His mother died, his father disappeared, and he lived with relatives, this is what Zhao Hongfei said. Xu Ying instantly understood that he didn't want the people in the Zhao Mansion to know that he was the niece of Xu Lang, the Duke of Dingguo, and the fact that he was Xu Guangling's biological daughter.

does have this identity, but it is not easy to treat in the Zhao Mansion.

After Xu Ying thought about it, she began to reply: "Twelve, just literate, I have read the fourth book of women, the biography of women, and the thousand-character text." ”

The answer is decent, and the performance is cowardly and shy.

"This is your sister-in-law Jin, her name is Ruizhu, and she is the head of the East Mansion, but she has been living in the West Mansion and helping to manage things."

The young woman immediately answered, "If my sister needs something, just go to the garden and find my sister-in-law to get it." If the subordinates take care of it inappropriately, they will also talk to them. I'll clean up and make sure I'm okay. ”

Gu said: "What else to pack up, just change a good call for your younger siblings." It's not that there is no one in the family, and many of the children are still sitting at home, waiting for someone to serve them in the house.

Pick a few clever ones and send them to Rixiangin. ”

Seeing that Xu Ying was about to excuse herself, the young woman immediately said, "Sister, don't worry, keep it for you." ”

After all, she has been a queen for a few years, and she has also been on the battlefield, and it is of course not a problem to deal with two boudoir women. After a few words, the three of them burst into laughter.

Politely sent Xu Ying away, Gu said: "I thought it was a small family, but I didn't expect that this rule made people unable to find anything wrong."

The one in Rikain is still a little blessed. ”

"Who said it wasn't, who let him be favored by the lord of our house. Just waiting for the township test to win the championship in one fell swoop," the young woman pursed her lips and said, "Auntie, there is no one in this family who can read, why does my uncle only fancy him."

Give back the money, give the yard, and give the little maid, and this will pay him to marry his daughter-in-law to Lixiangyuan.

In a few years, I will give birth to a fat boy, but it will be all money and people. This bunch of things, all of them are paid for by the government? ”

The Gu family has long complained about Zhao Song's acceptance of Zhao Hongfei, and after listening to his niece's words today, he felt even more uncomfortable.

However, Gu Shi didn't show it on his face, and even said: "What do you know, just see the benefits of real money, but you can't see the things behind it?"

There are not many officials behind to support them, even if they make more money, who can keep it, can it last for a long time?

Things in officialdom are all changing rapidly, and if there are a few more people to help, the road may be easier.

You see that it costs money to take him in now, but if he is admitted to the Jinshi, makes up for the real shortcomings, and holds great power, the benefits are still to come. ”

These words were originally repeated by Zhao Song many times in front of his wife Gu. Now although Gu said it himself, most of them still didn't believe it. There are thousands of people in the world who read books, but every three years they only come out of the top three, which is really not enough.

That Zhao Hongfei, does he have that life?

After hearing this, the young woman Jin Da and Young Grandma nodded again and again, and her tone was very enthusiastic, and said, "What my aunt said is reasonable, sure enough, I have to come to my aunt's place to sit more." ”

Gu Shi smiled and rubbed the corners of his forehead, and Grandma Jin immediately saw that there was a send-off. She immediately called Gu's eldest girl over, served Gu's rest, and took the girl back to the yard by herself.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Zhao Jin in a gorgeous costume teasing the parrot under the porch, while flirting with Xiu'er who was doing needlework in the house.

Suddenly he was angry, and his tone was sour, "I'm really a hard worker, I only ate one bite of food in the morning, just look at this yard, look at that yard, and see if there is anything wrong."

However, if there are people, they are blessed. Comfortably doing needlework in the house, there is someone around to make me happy. ”

When Xiu'er heard this, her face turned red at the moment, and she hurriedly put down the embroidery bandage and picked up the curtain to greet Gu Ruizhu.

"The young grandmother is back."

Gu Ruizhu looked at Xiu'er's woman's bun, snorted, and walked to the porch.

Zhao Jin looked back at his daughter-in-law and joked with a smile, "You are here to be prestigious, where are you going to suffer." In the courtyard of Xidong Mansion, who dares to show you face. ”

"That's just for now," Gu Ruizhu came over and snatched the bird food in Zhao Jin's hand and threw it to the girl next to him, and said, "The one in Lixiang Courtyard brought a little girl back, do you know this?" ”

Zhao Jin thought for a long time before remembering who the one in Lixiangyuan was, "Is that the brother whose parents died in Xifu a few years ago, but who was very talented?"

He brought a little girl, and he brought a little girl. The concubine has a room or something, whatever he wants. Anyway, no one up there cared about him. Simply, it's fifteen years old this year, and it's the time to be greedy for freshness, if you suffocate it, you may be able to do something. ”

"He's in the capital to pick up his fiancée."

"Fiancée?" Zhao Jin reacted a little at this time, and followed Gu Ruizhu into the house to talk about things.
