The maid in the room saw He Ningxin and his party, and hurriedly opened the curtain, and the evangelist girl arrived to the people inside. ”

He Ningxin walked up the steps with her skirt, rushed out of the inner room, and a woman with light makeup rushed out of the inner room, took He Ningxin's hand and said, "My son, you can be regarded as good" The words were not finished, and tears fell like rain.

This is true motherly affection. He Ningxin's nose immediately became sour.

Seeing that this person was the Xu family of Inspector Zuo's Imperial History He Siping, He Ningxin hurriedly held the other party's hand with his backhand and called softly...... Mother. A little choked, he helped Xu to walk into the house.

When she came to the hall, He Ningxin helped Xu to her seat, and knelt in front of her and kowtowed.

"Xin'er, what are you doing? - Hurry up, hurry up" Xu is thin and tall, not very beautiful, but graceful, just a little weak. When she pulled it, she didn't help He Ningxin up.

After He Ningxin kowtowed, she stood up with the support of Mama Chen, and said apologetically that the child was not filial, which made her mother worried. ”

Seeing that her daughter had a serious illness, she actually understood things, acted moderately, and behaved extraordinarily, which was really an unexpected joy. pulled her to sit beside him, wanting to say a few thoughtful words, but he couldn't stop the tears in his eyes, and they still kept flowing.

He Ningxin hurriedly took out the handkerchief, carefully wiped He from his tears, and glanced at the servants who were waiting on the side. - Go get some water. ”

The people in the room were stunned for a moment, they had never been shy and timid, and they were not close to Xu, but today they really put on a big picture of admiration, and everyone was a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that no one listened, He Ningxin slowly glanced at the maid standing in the room, and found two names from his memory, saying Back to autumn and winter, you go to fetch water. "Hui Qiu and Hui Dong are big girls, and they are standing aside in a daze at the moment.

Hearing the name of the big one, Hui Qiu and Hui Dong glanced at each other, and hurriedly answered yes, they wanted to go out to fetch water.

Xu stopped them, and Wen Yan said that fetching water is the job of the little maid, so you go out and let them cook water. ”

Back to autumn and back to winter, the two went out of the main room side by side.

"Xin'er, you haven't managed the house, not in this family, the most important thing is to perform your own duties, and your rights and responsibilities are clear. Just because you are the master, you should not disregard the duties of your subordinates and assign them arbitrarily. Xu looked at He Ningxin's expression attentively, and explained to her that he wanted to refute her words just now.

These things, He Ningxin is also true. It's just that she is new to the He family, and she is not familiar with the He family, but she just gave a casual order, and she didn't feel that Xu refuted her words, that is, she refuted her face, but said to Xu Wei with a grateful face: "My daughter doesn't know the depths, and she points at people indiscriminately, making it difficult for her mother."

Xu was even more pleased, stretched out his hand and took her in his arms, and his face was full of thoughts, and he said with a little choked up My son, you finally thought about it. Mother......"

He Ningxin was secretly surprised in her heart, no, this Miss He had an unbreakable knot with her mother-in-law, so that her mother-in-law had to look at her daughter's eyes.

Xu this person, when He Ningxin was still Pei Shufan before, he also dealt with him. She knew that Xu was born in Dongyang Xu and was extremely talented. When she was a girl, she became famous, which attracted many people to ask for marriage. Later, she chose a son-in-law with poetry and essays, and chose He Siping, a poor student from a peasant family. In addition to being talented, He Siping was also very handsome. Xu's was born ordinary, and this marriage was criticized at that time, saying that Xu's was clear about choosing talents, but in fact, he chose appearance. also said that He Siping was "an Israelite person", and he went to the Xu family's wealth. All kinds of rumors are extremely unbearable.

Who knew that within a few years of the two getting married, He Siping won the champion and became an official, I don't know how many people are envious, and how many girls sigh and look away. For a while, it became a common practice for noble girls from Dongyang Gaomen to marry students from poor families, but no one was like He Siping, who was even in the middle of three yuan.

For more than 20 years, Xu and He Siping have been in love with each other and have a son and a daughter. He Siping loves Xu's intelligence and generosity, and his temperament can be bent and stretched. This kind of temperament is an excellent complement to He Siping's overly upright and inflexible personality. Therefore, the two husbands and wives are extremely harmonious, and over the years, they have never quarreled once, nor have they blushed once, let alone those concubines and aunts to add to the blockage. He Siping's family lives with He Siping's mother, Mrs. He, and He Siping's younger brother He Sida's family.

is such a simple family, and it can be seen that Xu is also in pain with He Ningxin to the bone. The kind of prudence that is afraid of melting in the mouth and holding it in the hand for fear of falling is not like the average mother to her daughter, but a bit like a subordinate to her boss, who wants to look at each other's faces to live.

Thinking of her former mother-in-law, He Ningxin couldn't help but wet her eyes a little, and she snuggled in Xu's arms and refused to look up.

The daughter Xu was holding was like a dream. The last time my daughter was so close was when she was very young. I don't know when my daughter began to be estranged......

"Yo, I'm late. I just went to the eldest niece's house, and I heard that the eldest sister-in-law's house was coming, and I thought the sun was coming out in the west. - It turned out to be true" The people in the room held their breath, but there was a burst of unbridled laughter like silver bells outside.

He Ningxin felt Xu's body stiffen. She looked up at Xu's face, and asked in a low voice, Niang, are you uncomfortable, don't skip words.

Xu stared down at her, hugging her tighter and tighter, as if he was afraid that she would fly away.

The curtain of the main house was opened by two maids left and right, and a woman wearing a red butterfly with a flowered sleeve jacket and an eight-piece horse-faced skirt with indigo at the waist, combed her hair into a cloud bun, and swayed a crystal flower obliquely, and walked in slowly. A pair of Danfeng triangular eyes, two curved willow leaves hanging eyebrows, lips are not dotted and Dan, eyebrows are not painted but green. When he laughed, he showed a mouthful of glutinous rice teeth, and he was extremely beautiful and flamboyant.

He Ningxin frowned first, thought for a while, and then remembered that this was her second aunt, the second uncle He Sida's main room, Li. Li is the concubine of the Guozi priest wine, and she is a family affair for his younger brother after He Siping won the top prize.

Guozi Priest Liquor is an official of the fourth grade, although the grade is not low, but there is no real power, and the Li family is also thin. Li was born beautiful, but did not have much dowry. The Li family married He Sida, also for the sake of his champion brother. originally thought it was a pro, and He Sida should not be much worse than He Siping. But He Sida has been taking the exam for more than 20 years, and he has not even passed the exam. Now it's just clinging to the eldest brother and helping to take care of some big houses to make a living.

Of course, He Ningxin's memory does not have these details. She only vaguely remembered that this Li family seemed to be very close to He Ningxin before. As for the level of intimacy, she doesn't.

"Xin'er, the second aunt is here, aren't you happy?" As soon as Li entered the door of the main room, he stood at the door and beckoned with a smile.

He Ningxin looked at the door with a calm face, and slowly sat up from Xu's arms.

Xu was a little nervous, holding her firmly and not wanting to let go.

He Ningxin patted her hands in surprise, and said in a low voice, Mother, it's okay, I'm not leaving. ”

Xu lightly eased his hand, still pulling her to sit next to her.

He Ningxin turned her head to Xu and gave Xu a "relieved" look, and then turned back to the second aunt of the Li family. ”

Li Shi saw that He Ningxin was different from the happy appearance of seeing him before, and his heart changed color for a moment, and he quickly changed his smile on his face, pinching his handkerchief and walking up. While walking, she said Xin'er, but she was angry with her second aunt? The second aunt was worried all night yesterday, and she didn't sleep well. I'm worried that Xin'er has three longs and two shorts, but she can let the second aunt live? ”

He Ningxin sat up straight, smiled reservedly at the Li family first, and said that the second aunt was serious. "I just got up and took a few steps forward, and bowed to the Li family and thanked the second aunt for my concern, my niece is now very well."

Only then did Li Shi be convinced that He Ningxin was different from before, so he approached her quickly and circled around her several times, only to see that she was the sister-in-law's biological daughter, and her style of acting was exactly the same as that of her sister-in-law. - Even the looks are the same. ”

He Ningxin smiled and said I am my mother's daughter, what's so strange about being born like my mother? - The second aunt is really funny, saying some inexplicable things. "In fact, He Ningxin was not born like Xu, but more like He Siping. It's just that He Ningxin is a little fat now, so her facial features don't look very good. If you are a little thinner, you are also a beautiful woman.

Li still wanted to say more, He Ningxin had already interrupted her unceremoniously, "Second aunt, my mother is here, and I haven't seen my second aunt to give my mother a gift?" ”

Xu is the sister-in-law, and Li is the younger sister. When she saw Xu, she should be the first to say hello. But looking at Li's singing and playing just now, it's like Xu's doesn't exist at all.

Xu pinched and looked at the sweat for a long time, and when he heard his daughter with his own ears, and saw that she didn't care about people saying that she was born like her, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings. ——I don't know when He Ningxin began to have low self-esteem, and she was most reluctant to hear people say that she was born like Xu, and she cried when she heard someone say it. After making trouble for a while, everyone knew about her problems, and they never mentioned her appearance.

Li Shi was a little blushing by He Ningxin's words, so he hurriedly turned to Xu, who was sitting on the side, and curtsied and said that he had seen his sister-in-law. ”

Xu bowed slightly, changed the topic casually, and said to Li Shidao It's almost time for dinner, you ask the kitchen to prepare more green and red radish mutton soup for the old man and the second uncle. There is also steamed lamb with milk, which is for old ladies. In addition, prepare some sea cucumber black chicken venison soup for Xin'er and Yu'er. and Yuan'er, too, eat more venison soup. "Yuan'er is Xu Yan's eldest son, He Ningqi, Xu's eldest grandson, who is only eight years old this year.

Li Shi was busy and diligently. My sister-in-law ordered me yesterday, and I asked the kitchen staff to prepare it. When the eldest master comes from the yamen, he can set the meal. ”

"It's hard for you. I'm going to take Xin'er to my mother to ask for peace, you can do it yourself. Xu stood up gracefully, took He Ningxin's hand, and walked out the door.

Li stepped aside and let Xu and He Ningxin go out.

Xu and He Ningxin's maid and mother-in-law hurriedly followed, and went to the cultivation and reading hall where Mrs. He lived.

Li sent them away with a smile, and when the group went far, Li's face fell, and he glanced over there gloomily, and the right person said hatefully......"

Li's eldest maid Huichun hurriedly followed up and supported Li's left hand, and while walking, she asked tentatively the second wife, what is the eldest girl doing there? "Lee's He Sida is not an official body, so he can't be called". The He family calls her the second wife up and down.

Li pondered for a while with a straight face, and leaned into Huichun's ear and said a few words.

Hui Chun nodded knowingly, and whispered that Aunt Nie had come to borrow money again, and said that the young master had not returned home in the past few days, and he didn't know where he went. - just sent her away. ”

Li squeezed her hand and told her not to talk too much on the road. - Who is allowed to plant a hand where? It's better to be cautious outside.

Yes By].
