Zhou Xi's family followed Cheng Yuanniang to see the autumn moon of Pinghu Lake, and after returning to the Shizi Mansion, the first thing was to send someone to inquire about Su Huaiyu's life experience.

The former companion of the Lord of Anwar, this identity must not be faked.

However, Su Huaiyu appeared in Linglong Pavilion, and it is very likely that he will often deal with the Shizi Mansion in the future, so it is necessary to understand his background and background.

At noon the next day, the little eunuch sent out came back, and Su Huaiyu's life experience was very easy to investigate, and he knew everything by asking casually.

"Female official Su was born in a famous family, and her great-grandfather was General Su, who was in charge of the Qingyang Water Division, and was the first fierce general under the grandfather of the old country. However, the descendants withered, and only one son survived to adulthood, but he was lingering on the sickbed. Although the grandfather of the old country has a reward, it can't withstand consumption for a long time. The little eunuch said.

In fact, there is a gossip in the middle. It is said that the reason why the Su family's heirs withered was because General Su killed too many people on the battlefield, and the retribution should be on the descendants of the future.

"At the age of twelve, the female official Su entered the palace to be the companion of the lord of Anhua County, and left the palace at the age of sixteen to prepare for marriage. When she left, the princess had another reward. The little eunuch said, "However, her family affairs were delayed, and she did not leave the cabinet until she was nineteen years old." ”

Zhou Xijia asked: "Why did you delay until you were nineteen years old?" ”

If Su Huaiyu had been working in the mansion on an errand, it could be said that it would have been delayed. But at the age of sixteen, he left the house to prepare for marriage, and he did not leave the cabinet until he was nineteen, and that was for another reason.

"Sister-in-law doesn't know, Female Official Su's family affairs are for marriage, and it is Xu Zhu, the uncle of the Xu family." The little eunuch said, "Mrs. Xu is not satisfied with the marriage, so she has been delaying it. ”

The Xu family is also a family of Jiangmen, but it is a rising star.

When Su Huaiyu and Xu were engaged, although the Su family was a little defeated, at least there was an empty shelf.

The Xu family is different, they are nouveau riche at all, and they are trying to curry favor with their mothers for marriage. But more than ten years have passed, the Su family can be described as a failure, but the Xu family has become a rising star.

Especially Xu Zhu, it can be said that he is a young hero and has an unlimited future.

Mrs. Xu, that is, Xu Zhu's mother, felt that such a daughter-in-law was not worthy of her excellent son.

First, they find a reason to withdraw from the marriage, and if the divorce fails, they delay it for no reason.

There was no way to delay until the end, and for the sake of face, I had to marry someone, but I was holding my breath in my heart, and I always felt that my son was wronged.

"I see." Zhou Xijia understood a little, and asked again: "Then what is ...... now?"

Xu Zhu is a rare general, very famous in Qingyang, even she knows it.

But now there is no war, and the general is idle at home.

The little eunuch said: "Last year, he left. It was Mrs. Xu's meaning, saying that Lady Su had nothing to do. ”

After seven years of marriage, Xu Chai has no children and no daughters.

On this ground, Mrs. Xu forcibly ordered Xu Chai to divorce his wife, but Xu Chai was unwilling. But he couldn't stand Mrs. Xu from making a fuss, and later Xu drove out on business, and Su Huaiyu was reconciled.

"I see." Zhou Xijia said with emotion, sympathizing with Su Huaiyu very much, and said, "Who else is there in the Su family?" ”

Although there is a marriage contract in the past, when it comes to the actual marriage, the two families are no longer the same, and it is common for one party to regret the marriage.

Although it will be morally scolded by outsiders, it is not painful and useless.

The woman suffers a loss in her mother-in-law's family, and the most important thing is whether there is anyone in her mother's family who can get ahead. If you don't even have a good background, no one will know if you die in your mother's house.

"There is no one in the Su family for a long time, and Female Officer Su also has a nephew who is only twelve years old this year." The little eunuch said.

That is, because there is no one to support him, Su Huaiyu can only be reconciled. I went back to my parents' house for a year, but I was afraid that it would be a difficult time, so I came to the palace on an errand again.

Otherwise, a woman who has been divorced and has an adult nephew, not to mention money. Even the Su family clan will not let them go easily, it must be to squeeze oil and eat meat.

Now when he goes to the palace on an errand, not only does he not have to worry about his living expenses, but he can also use this to suppress the clan and make them dare not mess around.

"Female Officer Su is also a hard worker." Zhou Xijia said, took out five taels of silver and stuffed it to the little eunuch, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

The little eunuch took the silver, smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, if you have any errands in the future, remember to look for me." ”

"Definitely." Zhou Xijia said with a smile.

The little eunuch took the silver and left happily, and Zhou Xi's family was also relieved.

Such Su Huaiyu is very safe, and there is nothing to doubt. In the future, even if you go to the side of the princess and concubine, you can also find a way to win over.

Or, should she strike first and start wooing Su Huaiyu now?

was thinking about it, Zhou Xijia only felt a dizziness, if she wasn't sitting herself, she was afraid that she would have fallen to the ground.

"Mom, Mommy......" came the voice of embroidery beads eagerly at the door.

Zhou Xijia felt weak and unbearable, but had to respond: "I'm in the house." ”

Xiuzhu pushed the door into the door, and the lower room of Zhou Xi's family was not spacious, that is, a bed and a table.

Looking up and seeing Zhou Xi's family, Xiuzhu said eagerly: "The princess suddenly inquired about Yueyin and called her mother over." ”

Cheng Yuanniang has a lot of property in her name, and the cash in the dowry is dead, but Zhuang Tian is alive. There is an interest every year, and it is a dowry for money to make money.

And then Cheng Yuanniang, as the princess, has a lot of monthly money.

Cheng Yuanniang has not taken care of these properties for a long time, and they are all Zhou Xi's questions. But just now, Cheng Yuanniang suddenly wanted to check the accounts, which was naturally to check the accounts of Zhou Xi's family.

"Monthly money?" Zhou Xijia was puzzled, so he had to stand up.

Just stood up, there was a wave of dizziness, Xiuzhu saw this, hurriedly supported Zhou Xi's family, and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?" ”

"I'm feeling a little unwell." Zhou Xijia said, "You help me to the bed and lie down." ”

She really couldn't support it, although asking for money was a big deal, but she felt that she had nothing to be sorry for Cheng Yuanniang.

If you have a clear conscience, you don't care about this meeting.

Xiuzhu helped Zhou Xijia to lie down on the bed, at a loss, although she was in a hurry, she had to say: "Mom is unwell, I'll call a doctor." ”

"It's fine." Zhou Xijia nodded and said, "The princess, please turn around." It's not that I don't go, it's that I'm sick. ”

Her body is really unbearable, it's okay to ask a doctor to take a look, but Cheng Yuanniang's side, I still have to talk about it.

Xiuzhu said: "Look at what my mother said, I am also from the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, of course I will help my mother speak." ”

Zhou Xi's family is the old steward of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, and she naturally knows how to behave.

Moreover, she saw it with her own eyes, so she naturally knew how to reply.

"I'm tired of the girl." Zhou Xijia said.

Xiuzhu turned around and went out, first called the little girl to serve Zhou Xi's family, and then ordered the little eunuch to ask for a doctor for Zhou Xi's family.

After this busy pass, Xiuzhu went back to the main room to talk back to Cheng Yuanniang.

"When I passed, Zhou's mother fainted. I helped her to the bed to rest, and asked a doctor, for a while, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to come. Xiuzhu said.

Cheng Yuanniang snorted coldly: "She has a weak heart, how could she be so sick." I asked Ginko, and she was sick. ”

She has never doubted how Zhou Xi's family, her mother's henchmen, could pit her.

But with all kinds of things in front of him, Zhou Xijia, who has always been able to do things, is not as good as one thing. made her deeply feel that Zhou Xi's family did not do their best at all.

His parents have died, and although he has an older brother, he can't stay with him for a long time. This time about the side concubine, she sent a letter to Cheng Shaomu, but Cheng Shaomu only wrote back to comfort her a few words, and did not enter the mansion to see her.

When she was at a loss for what to do, she thought of silver. She has always been confused, and she has never asked for money.

Where did I think that the first time I asked, Zhou Xi's family was sick, and the illness was so coincidental.

"The princess of the world has clearly investigated, Zhou's mother is really sick." Xiuzhu couldn't help but defend Zhou Xi's family.

Cheng Yuanniang glared at her and said, "Are you my girl or her girl, but you will speak for her." ”

Xiuzhu was startled and was stunned on the spot.

She is a wedding girl who grew up waiting for Cheng Yuanniang since she was a child. Although Cheng Yuanniang has always been difficult to serve, she is always different from ordinary people when she marries a girl.

Now that Cheng Yuanniang said so, she really didn't know how to say it.

"The lesson of the princess is that this girl is becoming more and more inspired." Orb grinned and played the round.

Cheng Yuanniang let go of the embroidered beads, but she assigned another mother-in-law: "You go to see Zhou Xi's family, are you dead?" ”

Where did the mother-in-law dare to disobey, hurry up.

However, Zhou Xi's family was really sick, and when the mother-in-law passed, the doctor was diagnosing the pulse.

The mother-in-law didn't know how to do it, so she repeated Cheng Yuanniang's words.

Zhou Xijia, who was sick, felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and without waiting for the doctor to finish diagnosing his pulse, he got up from the bed and said, "I'll go to see the princess." ”

The doctor saw that it was the master who summoned him, so he said, "Sister-in-law, take care of your health, and after finishing the errand, send someone to find me." ”

Although the pulse is halfway through the diagnosis, it is not good to see the pulse. It's just that people's lives are cheap, how can they be carefully maintained.

"I'm tired of the doctor going for nothing." Zhou Xijia said.

The doctor walked away, and Zhou Xi's family had to put on his coat and go to the front room.

I saw that Xiuzhu was standing under the corridor, and when she saw Zhou Xi's family coming over with a sick face, she said with a guilty face: "Mom, it's all my fault, I can't speak, which makes the princess angry." ”

"I know, you're a good boy." Zhou Xijia smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with you." ”

After speaking, Zhou Xi's family entered the main room.

After a while, I saw that Baozhu and the little girls also came out, and there were only two of Cheng Yuanniang and Zhou Xi's family in the house.

Xiuzhu couldn't help but sigh when she saw the jewel come out.

Baozhu pulled her aside and said, "What are your plans for the future?" ”

"What's going on?" Xiuzhu was stunned when she heard it.

Baozhu looked at no one around, and then whispered: "I discussed with my family, and I want to ask the princess for a favor and release her to marry." ”

"So early?" Xiuzhu couldn't help but be stunned.

There are not many ways out for girls, and even fewer girls to marry.

It is impossible to be a young uncle for the uncle, and most of the stewards of the palace are eunuchs, and if they want to marry a steward son, it is impossible to be a housekeeper in the future.

Asking for grace to marry is the best way out, but they are not yet twenty, so why should they leave the cabinet so early. Life after leaving the palace may not be as good as it is now.

"We have also grown up together since childhood, and we have been waiting for Miss Hou for all these years." Baozhu wanted to speak and stopped, "Miss's temper is getting bigger and bigger, and now even Mother Zhou is ......"

Now that the side concubine has not entered the door, Cheng Yuanniang is like this.

When the side concubine entered the door, Cheng Yuanniang's temper was afraid that it would be even greater. Now you can suspect that Zhou Xi's family has two hearts, and the next unlucky ones will be them.

The so-called good gathering and dispersion, while there is still a little bit of master-servant affection, hurry up and beg to leave, and maybe get a little reward.

What if something happens in the future......

The subordinates of the palace are not like the Hou Mansion. Think about the accident of the county lord of Anning, the subordinates of Zhuyun Xuan were all killed.

She was very afraid that she would end up like this, with such a master, she didn't have to think about being rich and noble, and it was a serious thing to retreat.

"You mean......" Xiuzhu was stunned on the spot, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Miss Maid is a matter of course, but now Cheng Yuanniang is irritable, she just wants how to appease, and she never thinks about leaving.
