After the main hall dispersed, Xiao Xuan followed the Duansu County Lord and the others back to the second room.

After returning to the second room, Duan Chengwen and Duansu County Lord let Xiao Xuan sit on the main seat.

"Now that I am married to Shaolan, I am the daughter-in-law of my father and mother. It was above the main hall, because my eldest sister was there, so I had to sit on the main seat with her. Xiao Xuan hurriedly smiled and refused. Now that I have returned to my own yard, as a daughter-in-law, I will no longer sit on this throne. ”

"The princess's words are wrong, the princess is the daughter of His Majesty, and she has a noble background." Duan Chengwen and Duansu County Lord glanced at each other and said. "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and it is easy to overcome."

"My father doesn't have to be like this, my mother is also from a clan, and the Internet has known my temperament for many years." Xiao Xuan explained with a smile. "These false gifts are just for outsiders to see."

In the end, because of Xiao Xuan's insistence, Duan Chengwen and Duansu County Lord sat on the main seat. However, Xiao Xuan still sat next to the county lord of Duansu, and Sister Chu had to sit with her, but only Duan Shaolan was left to sit alone.

"Sister Chu, go and accompany your brother." Lord Duansu looked at Duan Shaolan sitting alone, and said to Sister Chu with a smile. "Don't you see your brother sitting down alone?"

"No, I'm going to sit with the princess's sister." Sister Chu likes to stick to Xiao Xuan when she is a child, and today is the same, she has to sit next to Xiao Xuan and squeeze her, and hold her arm.

"Sister Chu, if you call me again, you're going to change your words." Xiao Xuan reminded Sister Chu with a smile. "Since I am married to your brother, I will call my sister-in-law next time."

"Uh-huh, got it." Sister Chu responded obediently. "Sister-in-law."

Brother Bin sat in the arms of the county lord of Duansu and looked at Xiao Xuan with a curious expression.

"Our Brother Bin'er was born so cute." Xiao Xuan took the hand of the county lord of Duansu, gently pinched Brother Bin'er's white and fat face, and said with a smile. "Why is he a little fatter than the last time I saw him?"

Brother Bin and Xiao Xuan were not so familiar, but Brother Bin naturally giggled when he saw Xiao Xuan smiling and talking. Brother Bin wore a red dress today, and when he laughed at this time, he looked more and more pleasing.

"By the way, I've brought some stuff with me." Xiao Xuan looked at Brother Bin'er's innocent and cute smiling face, suddenly remembered, and hurriedly beckoned Lu Lin and them to bring something over. "In addition to the gifts in the main hall just now, I also specially picked out some small things for Sister Chu and Brother Bin."

Xiao Xuan chose some fabrics and jewelry for Sister Chu, all of which were colors and styles suitable for a little girl of Sister Chu'er's age. Sister Chu took it one by one and looked at it, and she really liked everything.

"Here, bring it." Xiao Xuan picked out a red agate bracelet from those jewelry gifts and put it on for Sister Chu. "Mother, you see, Sister Chu was born white and wore such a color as the best."

"Yes, your vision is good." Lord Duansu said. "It's just that it's too much, and she doesn't need so much when she goes out."

Most of the toys Xiao Xuan picked out for Brother Bin'er were delicate, and Brother Bin especially liked one of the hydrangeas decorated with golden bells, as long as they were slightly moved, the golden bells would make a crisp sound as the hydrangeas rolled.

"Mother, Sister Chu'er is almost the same age, although she doesn't have to be in a hurry to settle down at the moment, but it's time to look at each other. Sister Chu will be my sister-in-law in the future, and I will have to take her with me when I walk outside in the future. When the time comes, there will be more opportunities to go out, and you can't let others look at Sister Chu'er with the same things, so it's okay to prepare more. Xiao Xuan took Sister Chu'er's hand and said to Lord Duansu. Mother, do you think I'm right? ”

"You have a point, in fact, I have seen a few families in the past few years, but I always feel that it is not suitable." Lord Duansu said with emotion. "Sister Chu will follow you out in the future, so you have to dress better."

"Mother, that's the right idea." Xiao Xuan nodded. "Sister Chu'er is still young, let's just look at each other first to see if there is a suitable boy in the right person. Sister Chu's marriage needs to be carefully considered, and it is natural to look at each other slowly. ”

The county lord of Duansu left Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan to have lunch in the mansion, before the meal, Sister Chu didn't know where to go to play, Xiao Xuan followed Duan Shaolan back to his yard.

Duan Shaolan's yard is full of bamboo, and the furnishings in the room are very simple.

"Oops, your yard is so boring." Xiao Xuan walked around Duan Shaolan's room and said.

"I work for the pennant guard, and I always come home very rarely. There's nothing to furnish in the room, and I don't have time to play with that. Duan Shaolan came back today and asked Hushu to pack some things to take to the princess's mansion.

Hushu was in the study at this time to pack up the things he was going to bring back to the princess's mansion for Duan Shaolan.

"Then will you be just as busy when you go to the military department in the future?"

"When I first passed, I wasn't familiar with anything, so I was probably going to be a little busier." Duan Shaolan said softly. "Grandfather sent someone to pass the word, saying that he knew that I was going to the military department, and asked me to go to him after lunch. My grandfather has been in business for many years, and he still has a lot of connections in the military department, so there are probably many things to tell me. ”

"Well, with your grandfather helping you, I think you will have an easier time in the military department in the future." Zhen Guogong's qualifications have gone through two generations of emperors, the first emperor and the Chu emperor, and his ability is well known to everyone.

It's a pity that the son-in-law of Zhenguo Gong, the son of Zhenguo Gong, is not of great use, and the idle positions he received in his early years have also been lost, and most of his sons have not succeeded, only Xiao Lu's concubine Duan Shaoyou has now entered the Hanlin Academy. However, Duan Shao is taking the civil official route, and he will not be able to take over the mantle of Zhenguo Gong in the future.

"When the time comes, I will go to my grandfather's yard to talk, and you will stay in the second room and talk to your mother and Sister Chu." Duan Shaolan did not forget to instruct Xiao Xuan.

"Okay, I got it."

After lunch was ready, the county lord of Duansu sent someone to find Xiao Xuan and Duan Shaolan and invite them back to eat.

After the young couple went back, Duan Chengwen and Duansu County Lord were already sitting at the table, but they hadn't seen Sister Chu come back yet.

"You're here?" Lord Duansu handed over the Bin Ge'er in his arms to the nurse. "Come and sit down."

Duan Shaolan helped Xiao Xuan sit down before he sat down.

"Mother, why haven't you seen Sister Chu come over?" After Xiao Xuan sat down, he looked around and asked the Duansu County Lord. "Where did Sister Chu go?"

"Maybe she doesn't know where to go again?" Lord Duansu said helplessly. "Sister Chu gave birth to such a child's temperament, which makes you laugh."

"It doesn't matter."

"Come on, go to the courtyard and find the young lady back." The county lord of Duansu instructed Mama Liu to pick someone to find Sister Chu.

Mama Liu immediately agreed, and picked a few maids who were familiar with the inside and outside of the yard and had dexterous legs and feet to look for Sister Chu.

But before the maids could go out, Sister Chu came back with her hair scattered.

"Sister Chu!" Xiao Xuan sat a little outside, and saw Sister Chu'er's embarrassed appearance at a glance.

She hurriedly got up and walked to Sister Chu.

Sister Chu'er's hair seemed to have been torn by someone, and her body was stained with dust and dirt, Xiao Xuan pulled Sister Chu to look up and down, and after a while, she found that the red agate bracelet she had just put on Sister Chu was gone.

"Sister-in-law." Sister Chu opened her mouth aggrievedly.

"Okay, it's fine." Xiao Xuan hurriedly comforted Sister Chu. "Mother, Sister Chu'er is dirty, I'll send her back to change her clothes."

"Well, I'm tired of you." When the county lord of Duansu looked at Sister Chu'er's appearance, he probably guessed in his heart why Sister Chu had become the embarrassed appearance in front of him.

The maid beside Sister Chu stepped forward to lead the way and took Xiao Xuan to Sister Chu's room.

Xiao Xuan asked Sister Chu to change her clothes and comb her hair again, and she left a few maids who had just gone out with Sister Chu to inquire about the situation.

The clothes on the maids looked like they had been pulled, and one of the maids had a slap mark on her face, which was obviously just beaten. Xiao Xuan thought of Sister Chu's appearance, and asked with a sinking face.

"Which of you is going to tell me what the hell was going on?"

Several maids looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke. After a few moments, the maid who had been beaten in the face took the initiative to stand up and reply.

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, our young lady was bullied by Miss Yan in the house." The maid said.

"Miss Zhu?" Xiao Xuan recalled the scene when she confessed her relatives in the main hall before. "It's the concubine of the Lady of the Prince, right? I remember that Mrs. Shizi had three sons and two daughters under her knees. ”

"Yes, Miss Meng, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Shizi, got married last year, and Miss Zhu, who bullied our young lady today, is a young daughter." The maid answered Xiao Xuan's question. "Just now we accompanied Miss to pick flowers outside, who knew that Miss Yan came, and before she could say two words, she started to do something to Miss Us. We wanted to protect Miss, but we were dragged down and beaten by Miss Yan's people. When Miss Yan was leaving, she snatched the bracelet that Her Royal Highness the Princess had given to Miss. ”

Seeing that Sister Chu was still cleaning up, Xiao Xuan said.

"Alright, I know everything." Xiao Xuan looked at the maids in front of him, and they were also injured to varying degrees. "Go down with the rest of you, and leave you behind, and wait until you have eaten and accompany me to meet Mrs. Shizi. By the way, what's your name? ”

"Slave maid...... The slave's name is Baozhu. ”

"Okay, I'll make a note of it." Xiao Xuan pointed to the palm print on her face. "You go down and put on your face first, and I'll send someone here to call you later."

After eating, Duan Chengwen and Duan Shaolan both went to Zhenguogong's side.

"Mother, I've asked about Sister Chu'er." Xiao Xuan turned his head to look at the Duansu County Lord and said softly. "Sister Chu will stay with her mother, and I will go and talk to Mrs. Shizi."
