In the suburbs of Beijing, there are many cars and horses.

The old people pay attention to climbing high and looking far on this day, call three or five friends, take a walk on the mountain road in the cool autumn, and ask for a sign in the Taoist hall on the way.

Before it was time to return, the carriages were heading out of the city, so one of them was a little more eye-catching.

Although it was not so jammed that it was difficult to move forward, it also caused some trouble to the people around him, and when he entered the city, he collided with the wheels of another carriage out of the city, and both carriages jolted for a while.

It was the carriage of Xu Shilang's mansion that entered the city.

Old lady Xu seemed to be angry, lifted the curtain and glared at the handlebar: "How is the car?" Go and see if anyone is hurt. ”

The handlebar type hurriedly jumped down and apologized to the city.

The driver of the car looked cautious, whispered a few words to the car, and then said to the handlebar: "This place is crowded, it is inevitable to bump, and our master has nothing to do." ”

The Xu family's handlebar style knew the temper of the old lady Xu, and said with a smile: "I don't know where your mansion is in the capital?" Our old lady came to the door another day to apologize. ”

When the other party heard this, he shirked for a while, but he was unwilling to report to his family.

Old lady Xu listened to a few words across the carriage, and when she saw that the other party's shelf was more than him, she couldn't help muttering in her heart.

Isn't it a character sitting in the car?

The Xu family has had ups and downs this year, and Xu Yan is not in Beijing, so Mrs. Xu didn't want to accidentally offend someone, so she simply got out of the car in person, reported her name, and asked the owner a few words.

The other party's curtain just turned to the side, and a hoarse voice came from inside, saying: "I don't mean to shirk, it's really inconvenient for my legs and feet, and it's not easy to walk." Besides, he has to travel far away, and the boss is so attentive that after returning to Beijing, he will definitely visit the boss's house when he gets the opportunity. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu didn't ask, and let the other party's carriage and horses go first.

Back at Shilang's Mansion, Old Lady Xu was thinking about this.

The other party listened to him report the name of the Lang Mansion, and there was not much change in his tone, as if he had seen too many officials.

But when you go to the noble family, there are rules to follow, and it's just close to it, many people don't pay attention to the pomp, but when they go out, they will still have enough in their hands.

Partial to that car, there is no other accompanying before and after, a master's house, a handlebar, and at most one in the car to serve, what kind of faraway door is this?

Old lady Xu estimated that what the other party said was probably a refusal.

Thinking about it like this, the anger he was already holding in his heart became more and more feverish.

Old lady Xu flicked her sleeves and strode back to Xianhe Hall, with a dark face and a fierce momentum along the way, which made several mothers-in-law hurry to report to Mrs. Min.

Mrs. Min was sitting on the Luohan bed and snorting melon seeds, and said strangely: "Didn't he climb the mountain?" When I came back at this time, I must have been angry outside. ”

Yang had heard about it, but she didn't know about it.

No matter where the father-in-law is angry, this anger can't be spread on the daughter-in-law's head, as long as she doesn't stupidly get up and touch the moldy head.

Yang avoided it, but Old Lady Min couldn't, and besides, she was not a gentle person.

As soon as she looked up and saw Mrs. Xu's black face, Mrs. Min smacked the melon seed shell and snorted: "I'm old, my legs and feet are useless, and I can't even climb the mountain, so I can only come back?" ”

"You know something!" Old lady Xu glared at her, "Those old horsemen don't take us seriously now!" In the final analysis, we are not optimistic about the future of our family! ”

Mrs. Min couldn't understand this, and said: "Da Lang is about to return to Beijing, and he has cured the flood for the saint, even if he doesn't remember his merits and get promoted, do you still want to be degraded?" Besides, he married the Ji family, and the Ji Shangshu Mansion was still well-known in Beijing? ”

Old lady Xu pouted: "The Ji family clearly likes Lingyi, not the Shilang Mansion!" ”

The truth in the officialdom, Mrs. Xu didn't understand it before, but Xu Yan had a smooth journey, so that he, who was developed by relying on his son, had not planned well at all.

The Xu family relied on the Yang family all the way, and now, the Yang family and the mother's family are completely separated.

Old lady Xu knew the inside story, so she naturally wouldn't let her daughter-in-law stick her hot face to the Yang family's cold buttocks, but in this way, the Xu family was like a single-handedly man in the officialdom.

Only Xu Yan is the only one who joins the office, Xu Chi only takes care of business, among the grandchildren, Xu Lingzheng and Xu Linglan are both young, and they have not yet obtained fame......

No matter how well Xu Lingyi marries, no matter how much he is liked in his in-law's family, the Ji family and the Xu family are only face-saving in-laws, and they are definitely not both prosperous and loss-oriented.

As soon as she counted it like this, Mrs. Xu was extremely worried about her daughter Xu Hui.

The daughter is different from the granddaughter, the Xu family is an elder in the fourth room of the Gu family, not like Xu Lingyi is just a junior.

The General's Mansion has a great reputation, and the two girls who are married in Beijing, Gu Yunsifu's family is Fu Taishi's Mansion, and Gu Yunjin is going to marry a serious relative of the emperor, which is not comparable to idlers.

When the Xu family was smooth, Old Lady Xu would not bother with this, but today he felt that his family was being despised by him, and those thoughts suddenly rose.

"Hui'er became a grandmother, and her brother washed the third, and she didn't ask her two sisters-in-law to go to Tianxi," Old Lady Xu said in a deep voice, "Didn't Yunjin want us to eat and drink when she got married?" ”

As soon as Mrs. Min heard about her stepdaughter, her face immediately fell: "She is a grandmother? What kind of grandmother is she? The six sons of the Gu family were not born to her! ”

"The stepmother is also a mother! You just didn't treat Hui'er as a daughter from beginning to end, and now Hui'er doesn't even care about her anymore! On my birthday next month, there is no daughter on the table, and the whole capital laughs at me! Old Mrs. Xu thought of being ridiculed by friends today and scolded Huai, and she was about to jump to her feet.

"You're thinking about being a good dad now?" Mrs. Min snorted heavily, "I also said that it is for the future of Da Lang, you are for your face!" ”

"Shameless and skinless like you?"

The old husband and wife quarrel, who can persuade, who wants to persuade?

The maids and daughters-in-law can only look at their noses and noses, even if they ask people to deliver messages to the Yang family and the Wei family, it is also fruitless.

In the end, no one can yell at anyone who can win this dispute, and if they can really quarrel high and low, they will not leave this problem to this day.

Mrs. Min was so angry that she smashed the teacup, and Mrs. Xu brushed her sleeves away.

Seeing that the war was over, but early the next morning, Mrs. Xu went to the largest gold and silver shop on East Street to put a gold and jade collar and sent it to Xilin Hutong.

Shan suddenly accepted such a gift, and it was not easy to handle, so he handed it over to Xu's to deal with.

Xu Shi looked at the collar, let out a long sigh, and asked Gu Yunjin, "Is there any rumor outside?" How to send things well. ”
