Xue Meixin looked at Wang Dong's determined expression, so she sat back again, but she subconsciously glanced at Xue's place, and happened to meet Xue's gaze towards her.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then they each looked away.

Sometimes, it's not a pleasant thing to meet people who look the same.

Wang Dong's gaze stayed on the faces of the people present for a moment, and seeing that no one raised any objections, he nodded and said to Xue: "Now that they have all been photographed." Your sister has traveled a short distance, the boat is tired, you accompany her down to rest, these days to take her more familiar with the surrounding environment, although she grew up in Beijing, but also away from home for many years. ”

Xue obediently bowed his head and said yes. When he looked up, he couldn't help but glance at Wang Dong, but he saw that his demeanor and demeanor looked the same as before.

But Xue is Wang Dongdi's pillow person, and he can still detect a slight difference after all.

For example, he drinks tea on weekdays, and Tieguanyin is only willing to drink autumn tea with a weak soup taste, especially winter tea with a green color and green taste. If the maids didn't carelessly send winter tea, he would know as soon as he opened the lid of the bowl, and he would never drink it.

Today's bowl of winter tea, but he drank it to the bottom.

Xue actually wanted to ask the last question, in what capacity will you treat Miss Xue in the future? What are you going to do after arranging her in the back of the West Chamber?

But she has always had a submissive attitude towards Wang Dong, and her temperament is also gentle, she really came out in front of people, and even when there were only two people, she and Wang Dong, she was afraid that she would not be able to ask.

Although she is not smart, she also understands that everyone has an existence in their hearts that no one can touch and prying on. Wang Dong also has. And it is also related to her sister-in-law here.

If the Xue family can't ask it, Xue Ruyu, who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic at this time, can ask it.

She covered her mouth and smiled, and said to Wang Dong: "Lord Wang, Sister Mei Xin, she can't live so namelessly, right?" Our Xue family's girl will allow your Wang family to be so cheap? You have to put a few banquets on the table. It's good to let your old friends and relatives know. ”

After speaking, she consciously winked at Xue Meixin, and pretended to be playful: "Don't think that my sister Meixin doesn't have her family to talk to her." ”

In one place, there is silence in the hall.

Sanniang and Wang Jing both looked down at Xuan Xiaoyi's head. What happened in the elders' room, it was not their turn to put their beaks, and they had to pretend not to understand when they heard it.

Xue ignored Xue Ruyu's provocative gaze, she only looked at Wang Dong and waited for him to speak. Although she is Wang Dong's wife, she can't accept Xue Meixin, but she doesn't have the final say.

If Wang Dong has this meaning. No matter what she actually thought in her heart, she had to happily help him do it.

Wang Dong turned his head to look at Xue Meixin.

Xue Meixin's face was pale, and there was a look of pain in her eyes that she couldn't hide.

As if sensing Wang Dong's gaze, she also looked up, and the eyes of the two met in one place.

Neither spoke. But they all seemed to be stabbed by the other party's gaze, and when they turned their eyes away, they all had a look of lost soul.

No matter what Wang Dong said, he was also a politician who had been in the officialdom, but he concealed his emotions in a moment, and when he spoke, his voice was already steady and calm: "You are right, it is time to have a banquet for old friends, relatives and friends." ”

Xue Meixin suddenly looked up at Wang Dong, a little stunned.

Xue Shi calmed down and just wanted to answer. Wang Dong continued: "How to say, Miss Xue is also the daughter of my Wang Dong's mentor and my wife's own sister, and I am very happy that she has returned safely now." Relatives and friends will also be relieved. Celebrate yourself. ”

Everyone was stunned, this is the meaning of rejecting Naxue Mei's heart as a concubine?

Xue Meixin looked at Wang Dong. There was gloom in his eyes, but there was also a hint of joy, like sadness and joy, and his expression was complicated.

Xue Shi retracted his surprised look, but somehow breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Xue Ruyu frowned: "Lord Wang, what do you mean?" ”

Xue Meixin finally spoke: "Ruyu, don't be rude!" ”

Xue Ruyu pursed her lips: "Sister Mei Xin, now there are people who like the new and hate the old, and they only hear the newcomer laugh and can't see the old cry." ”

Xue Mei's heart lowered her eyes, and she was a little embarrassed: "You like to talk nonsense more and more." ”

Xue Ruyu still wanted to speak, but she met Wang Dong's cold look at her, thinking that if she offended everyone, if the Wang family drove people out, she would have no excitement to see, so she reluctantly swallowed back what she was going to say.

But she was still unwilling after all, her eyes were rolling, and she said to Xue Shi again: "Before, my sister Mei Xin didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and her things were all borne by you for her." Now that she's back, you should return it to its rightful owner, right? ”

"Ruyu-" Xue Meixin hurriedly stopped Xue Ruyu's words.

Xue Ruyu didn't pay any attention to it, only squinted her eyes at Xue, waiting for her to make a statement.

This time, Wang Dong did not speak.

The royal family returned the Xue family's house and some ancestral properties to the Xue family before. Originally, if the Xue family was the only bone and blood left by the Xue family, there would naturally be no problem. But now that Xue Meixin is back, the ownership of the property that was originally returned to the Xue family by the royal family needs to be discussed.

Yu Qing, Xue Meixin is the daughter of the Xue family, the Xue family is the daughter of the Xue family, and Xue Meixin, the family property of the Xue family, should account for the majority, no matter how bad Xue Meixin is, she can also ask for an equal share.

Yu Li, the Xue family's property was returned to the Xue family by the royal family, and the king did not joke, the prince gave the things to the Xue family, and no one dared to say that he wanted to go back. Therefore, the Xue family didn't give Xue Meixin a penny, and no one dared to say half a word about her.

But no matter what the Xue family wants to do with the Xue family's property, Wang Dong has no right to speak. Those are considered Xue's dowry, and she herself has absolute autonomy. So he chose silence.

Xue knew that she had to speak at this time, she thought about it, and said to Xue Meixin: "The emperor gave back the Xue family's house, land, and silver taels, except for the three thousand taels of silver tickets I once gave Xue Ruyu a dowry, and the rest has not moved." Now that my sister is back, I will return all these things to my sister. ”

Everyone looked at the Xue family in shock when they heard this, and the imperial court compensated the Xue family with a lot of things. How could the total value exceed tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the Xue family was willing to take it all out to Xue Meixin?

Even Wang Dong looked at Xue Shi and nodded, very satisfied with her reasonableness, kindness and generosity. Wang Dong, who was born in a literati family. He has a light view of money, and he is not short of silver.

Xue Ruyu was also shocked, and stammered: "You are lying, right?" Did you secretly exchange real money or something? The Xue family's property has become an empty shelf? That's why you're pretending to be generous at this time? ”

Xue Shi smiled, and for the first time there was some undisguised disdain in his eyes when he looked at Xue Ruyu: "The emperor's reward is naturally on the holy decree that has crossed the clear path, who dares to change it secretly?" That's a big sin. No matter how ignorant I am, I can't do such a shameful thing. ”

These words are an insinuation that Xue Ruyu is ignorant and can't get on the stage, Xue Ruyu is so angry that her face turns pale.

The clay figure still has three points of earthiness, and the Xue family thinks that Xue Ruyu is not thin. was targeted by her everywhere, and at this time she couldn't help but be a little annoyed, so she turned her head and ignored her.

Xue Meixin also felt a little blushing, and hurriedly said: "Since the imperial court gave you those rewards, you will accept them." I don't want it. ”

Xue Ruyu was so angry when she heard the words that she glanced at Xue Meixin, and almost shouted: You don't want me!

Xue Meixin lowered her head and didn't want to look at her.

"Okay, you two sisters will discuss this matter slowly in the future. It's not too early, so let's settle down first. Wang Dong waved his hand and made a decision.

Everyone got up, and Xue nodded and smiled at Xue Meixin: "I'll take you to the residence to have a look." ”

Xue Meixin saluted Wang Dong and followed Xue down.

Sanniang saw that Xue Shi glanced at her side before going out, so she also got up and smiled: "Father, my brother and I also went down first." ”

Wang Dong nodded: "You have always been assertive, go and accompany your mother to have a look." Help with ideas. Stay at home for dinner today, and remember to send someone back to inform Prince Zhuang's mansion. ”

Sanniang originally wanted to leave earlier, but she couldn't refuse when Wang Dong left for dinner, so she nodded and agreed.

Wang Dong rarely touched the head of Xuan Xiaoyi, who was smiling at him: "The child is very well-behaved and teaches well." When are you going to enlighten him? ”

Xuan Xiaoyi had just been sitting with his mother for so long, and he had a smile on his face all the time. It's not even noisy, it's really very well-behaved.

But enlightenment? The child is just over nine months old.

Sanniang couldn't help but feel embarrassed, Wang Dong really had no experience as a father.

Wang Dong said: "Let him enlighten when he is three years old, don't let him learn the way of the noble children of the clan." A good child, all of them have been abolished. ”

Sanniang didn't think so, but said with a smile on her face: "Yes, father, I wrote it down." "When Xuan Xiaoyi is over three years old, she won't go back to her parents' house.

After waiting for Sanniang and Wang Jing to go out with Xuan Xiaoyi in his arms, Wang Dong went to the study alone, took a book and looked at it motionless for an hour, without turning a page from beginning to end.

As soon as Xuan Xiao came out of the main room, he became lively again, "giggled" and stretched out his hand to Wang Jing and asked him to hug him.

Wang Jing hugged Xuan Xiaoyi, lifted him high, and put him down, and so on. Xuan Xiaoyi was happy to dance and laugh.

The nurse was so frightened that she hurriedly complained to Sanniang: "Young lady, the little young master is still young, so he can't be frightened like this." Tell your uncle to let him down. ”

Sanniang looked at Wang Jing and Xuan Xiaoyi with a smile, and said disapprerovingly: "Where is the child so easily scared?" Boys, just have to be rough. This is also pampered, that is also pampered, people still think that I raise a daughter. ”

It's the first time I've heard this kind of strange remarks, which sister-in-law doesn't look like an eyeball? It was the first time she had seen a young lady who didn't take her son seriously. It is as if sons are not rare at all, but daughters are much more precious than sons.

"Sister, I took Xiaoyi to the front yard to catch fish and play." Wang Jing, who had already run away, turned around and shouted.

Sanniang waved her hand and let them go.

The nurse screamed in surprise and hurriedly chased after her: "Uncle young master, don't let the little master play in the water, what should I do if I catch a cold?" ”

"Xiaoyi, the nurse is here, let's run-" Wang Jing's voice and Xuan Xiaoyi's excited laughter could still be heard from afar.

Bai Lan and Bai Zhi chased after them and laughed uncontrollably.

But after entering the backyard, Sanniang felt an obvious depressing atmosphere.

The Xue family accompanied Xue Meixin to the back west chamber, and the two of them didn't talk much, and Xue Ruyu on the side had just suffered a loss from the Xue family, and she didn't want to talk at this time.

The three of them looked in silence to the east and west, and looked through the three rooms in the west chamber.

"Since I just received the news, I just arranged it briefly. If there's anything wrong, just tell me, or any of the maids in the yard. I've already explained, and the mother-in-law won't dare to slack off. Xue finally spoke.

Xue Meixin nodded and said softly, "Thank you." ”

Xue Shi also nodded, but did not speak again, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Although the two are sisters, their status was very different when they were in the Xue family, one was a young lady who was loved by thousands of people, and the other was the daughter of a laundry servant.

met again more than ten years later, but his status was dropped.

No matter how generous a woman is, she can't really be calm when facing her husband's old lover, let alone liking it. So Xue has no way to like Xue Meixin, even if she has tried.

And a woman who is about to grow old can't look at a woman who has made a white-headed alliance with the only man she has ever loved in her life with a face that is almost exactly the same as when she was young. Therefore, Xue Meixin has no way to like Xue, even if Xue's is kind and generous.

Xue Ruyu said to Xue Meixin: "Sister Meixin, do you still remember Mama Xue?" ”

When Xue Mei heard this, she immediately said, "Is it my mother's side Xue Steward?" ”

Xue Ruyu nodded immediately: "I saw Mama Xue in the Wang family before, but I heard that she was sent to Zhuangzi." ”

Xue Ruyu glanced at the Xue family and proposed to Xue Meixin: "Sister Meixin, do you want to take Mama Xue back to serve you?" She is an old man next to her aunt, and she will do her best for you. lest you have no confidant around you, and you will be bullied. ”

Xue frowned and glanced at Xue Ruyu, Xue Mei was about to speak, but a gentle voice with a smile said: "Mama Xue has found her maiden nephew, and now she is enjoying family fun with her nephew's family." Although if Aunt Xue went to invite her back, she would not ignore it due to the previous master-servant relationship. But...... After all, she is old, if she does this, those who know will say that we are reluctant to be old, and those who don't know are afraid that we will blame us for violating heaven and ethics. ”
