Don't blame Mrs. Lu for being angry, no one can bear it if she changes.

Mrs. Jiang's answer was not as much as what Xia Bin and his wife heard from others. When others say these things, they will more or less add a little speculation of their own.

And the Jiang family, it is simply unreasonable!

Old Madam Lu slapped the table with her palm, shaking her hands to the point of pain.

Xia Yanqing immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Old Madam Lu. It seems that she is very puzzled by Mrs. Lu's anger. Does this old lady ignore that this is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve and want to fight with her mother?

Mrs. Jiang was already in a hurry to stand up, and repeatedly bent her knees to confess: "Mother is angry, my daughter-in-law really only knows so much about this matter." The lord said it, but the emperor just asked and said it casually. As a courtier, the lord can't make a big deal of the emperor's casual words. ”

The folds on Mrs. Lu's face are twitching, but she is the one who doesn't understand the rules?

Xia Yanqing followed up and asked in surprise: "Mother, there is such a thing, the emperor asked about his brother and Yanqing?" How did I not know? ”

The people in the old mansion were full of disbelief and suspicion and glanced at Mrs. Jiang's mother and daughter, and these words ...... Is it true? Xia Ke even hid his wife and daughter?

It's okay to hide it from the Jiang family, after all, she is a backhouse woman. But Xia Yanqing is different, that is a person who can start a big business alone, Xia Ke will treat her as an ordinary backhouse woman?

The room was very quiet, and even the maids who were waiting on the side were holding their breath.

Xia Yanqing turned to Old Madam Lu and said tentatively: "Otherwise, grandmother will bring my father to ask, and my granddaughter will also want to know how the emperor asked about my granddaughter." ”

Old Madam Lu's already somewhat cloudy eyes flashed.

She could slap the table on Mrs. Jiang, and even punish her to kneel in the ancestral hall, but when she was facing the summer banquet, her heart was sudden. The emperor summoned Xia Ke and asked Xia Zitang and Xia Yanqing. The person that the emperor pays attention to, even if she is Xia Yanqing's grandmother, she doesn't have the courage to find fault, in case this village girl has the opportunity to sue her, she can't afford it.

"I'm a little tired, let's go outside for a while." Old Mrs. Lu directly ignored that today was the Chinese New Year's Eve, and also ignored the daughters-in-law and granddaughters in the room, held the maid's arm, and went to the inner room to rest.

Everyone got up and sent Mrs. Lu away.

Sun and his daughter Xia Ruiqing also stood up after the form of Old Lady Lu disappeared into the inner door.

Sun said: "Since my mother is tired, then let's step back first, don't disturb my mother's rest." After speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jiang to speak, they pulled Xia Ruiqing, and the mother and daughter left like this.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li smiled awkwardly and said to Mrs. Jiang: "Since this is the case, then let's step down." Wait until Mother has a little rest, and then we'll come back to serve. ”

Saying that, he actually gave Xia Yanrong a look, and he also planned to leave with his daughter, leaving Mrs. Jiang's mother and daughter here.

Yang and Gao took their children in the next room, and the three daughters-in-law of the old mansion were together, probably after listening to the report of the maids, and they had already come over at this time.

As soon as he entered the door, he met Mrs. Li's mother and daughter who were about to leave, and the four people on both sides were stunned.

Behind Mrs. Li, Xia Yanqing came up and asked, "Auntie, since my grandmother is resting, my mother, me, and my two sisters-in-law should also step down." Just, where do we retreat? ”

yes, where to retreat? Mrs. Li hated why she didn't take a step earlier and left before Jiang and Xia Yanqing understood.

"Actually, your grandmother only squinted for a moment." Mrs. Li was vague.

Xia Yanqing made a sudden statement: "In this way, there is no place to go." Auntie, this is going to know her own yard, right? That's okay, mother, second sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, let's go back to our yard too, don't stay here and disturb my grandmother's rest. ”

During the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Li almost vomited blood, she went back to her own yard, and Jiang and other people in the second room would have their own yard, could that be the same thing?

The second room came to the old house in the afternoon, and after a while, he left and returned to the second room's own mansion, what does this make people think?

Especially the second room family is in the limelight, Xia Ke's official work is stable and promoted, and his son has just been promoted two levels in a row, and his son and daughter are all concerned by the emperor, and the conclusion is still ......

Alas, I can't afford to provoke it, so I can only arrange a resting place for them first, and then look at my mother-in-law's cold face.

"That's not necessary," Madame Li quickly calmed down and said with a smile, "Aunt has already arranged a room for you, and you can go and sit there for a while." ”

Although the Yang family didn't know what was going on here, they could hear some signs just from the replies of Mrs. Li and Xia Yanqing.

It seems that it was the aunt of the old house who fell behind and compromised.

…………

The same questioning is going on in the outer courtyard.

After the old lady Xia Bin asked why the emperor summoned Xia Ke, Xia Chen, Xia Lin and a cadre and nephew also listened attentively, waiting for Xia Ke's answer.

The emperor's summoning of Xia Ke was not carried out in secret, although the content of the summoning and questioning was not leaked at all, but there were many people who knew that Xia Ke had entered the palace.

Now that he came to the old mansion for the New Year, Xia Ke knew that he would be asked by his father, and he had already discussed it with Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang naturally wants to claim that she doesn't know. Otherwise, the emperor asked about such a big matter as his own family affairs, and his wife knew about it, but he hid it from his parents, which was really unreasonable.

Xia Ke here, if he can prevaricate in the past, it is naturally the best, but there is really no way, so I have to talk about it roughly.

Now, there's really no way around it.

Xia Ke sighed secretly, glanced at his brothers and several nephews in the same room, and then said to Xia Bin: "This matter is not a big deal. But Ming Yu didn't understand what the emperor meant, so it was not good to mention the current situation to the outside. ”

Xia Bin and Xia Chen naturally understood what Xia Ke meant.

Xia Bin said: "Mingyu doesn't have to worry, we are our own family, and we still know the severity of the situation." As he spoke, he turned to the others and looked around, "You all understand, it is a big crime to spy on the king's heart, and if it is serious, it will harm the family." ”

Everyone in the room agreed.

Charlene's two sons regretted entering the door a little at this time. They weren't interested in the emperor summoning the second uncle, and it wasn't their turn to do good or bad things anyway. If they hear something confidential at this time, and then things change, don't they suffer in vain?

Xia Ke didn't care what kind of attitude and heart everyone had, and said concisely: "The emperor actually just asked a few words casually. first asked about the business of Yanqing Glass Store, and praised the fact that glass can improve the pattern of houses in the world, and then asked Zixi if he was willing to join the company. There is no one else. ”

"The emperor asked Zixi if he was willing to join the office?" The first to be uncontrollable and silent was Charlene.

They thought that the emperor was asking Xia Zitang and Xia Yanqing, but how did they know that the emperor was actually asking Xia Zixi, or asking him if he was willing to join the office.

What kind of luck is this in the second room? The daughter started such a big deal, Xia Zitang had just been promoted, and it was Xia Zixi's turn at this time.

For so many years, he just relied on his father's relationship to be an unpopular civilian official in a small department in the capital. After doing this for many years, there is no chance of promotion at all.

But the emperor actually took the initiative to ask Xia Zixi if he was willing to join the office, why?
