The old lady snorted angrily: "My coming forward doesn't mean that I regret it, I just don't want to let the old face of our Hou Mansion be disgraced!" Whoever comes to take away Ansheng's girl today can do it, but no one from his Leng family cannot.

The last time Jingyun was seriously injured and treated, my Hou Mansion lowered his head, and it wasn't until later that Jingyun was finally able to get it back. If he is killed by his son today, and he takes people away from Jingyun in a grand manner, the prestige of our Hou Mansion will be extinguished forever! ”

The second lady shook her head helplessly: "They all say old children, old children, sure enough." You are still so competitive at this age, and you are not inferior to those hairy boys. ”

The old lady snorted lightly again: "An Sheng, this girl is very rare, but unfortunately, her mind is not on Jingyun." Originally, listening to Jingyun's mother's persuasion, I was also a little shaken, thinking that An Sheng's girl was not suitable for Jingyun, and I didn't want to do anything to help Jingyun keep her.

However, if the opponent of Jingyun is this kid surnamed Leng, then it is a different story! We can't afford to lose to him! Otherwise, if Hou Ye sees that sour boy again in the future, won't he be laughed at by him? The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, who doesn't know that the two of them are not compatible, and they are competing openly and secretly? If you don't fight for steamed buns, you have to fight for breath, and our family must win. ”

"You old mean you agreed?" The second lady asked suspiciously.

The old lady was obviously still a little hesitant: "It's still the same sentence, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, who knows what the final outcome will be?" What about his mother? You sent someone to call her to me, I have something to say to her. ”

The second lady hesitated slightly: "The eldest lady heard that she went to the Rui Wangfu." ”

"Oh?" The old lady frowned slightly: "What is she doing in the Rui Wang's Mansion?" ”

"It was Lord Luo Bing who sent someone to invite her over." The second lady didn't say much, and said truthfully.

The old lady sighed lightly: "She just doesn't see things as well as you, but the things in this mansion are vicious, why has she been obsessed with the situation in the court?" Marrying the Lingrui Palace, for our Hou Mansion, is it a blessing or a curse or an unknown. ”

Lingrui Palace.

Xue brushed the hair on the sideburns, and just smeared the good osmanthus head oil, the lines were not messy, and the slippery hands were not left.

She satisfiedly straightened the gold-inlaid jade Fushou eight-treasure hairpin on her sideburns, carefully dusted off her cuffs, and stepped into the high threshold of Lingrui Palace.

Today, she suddenly received an invitation from the lord of Lingrui Palace, Luo Bing, which made her really flattered.

There is no intersection between Lingrui Wangfu and Xia Mansion, Luo Bing County Lord sent someone to pick her up from the mansion, she was a little nervous, I don't know what happened?

The mother-in-law who led the way in front of the head turned her head and looked around, and the Xue family, who was full of envy, raised her hand: "The county lord of my family is waiting for Mrs. in the house, please come in." ”

The mother-in-law took two steps back and made a way, still bowing her head, full of respect.

This made the Xue clan very satisfied, and the sense of superiority in his heart quickly swelled.

The maid at the door raised her hand and lifted the curtain high, and before she got closer, there was a faint fragrance of flowers mixed with a warm breeze.

Xue hurriedly lowered his head and entered the house.

The room is naturally full of bright walls, and the tent is fragrant, which is dazzling.

In the middle of the seat, there are two people sitting, one is a delicate girl, with red lips and eyebrows, bright eyes and bright teeth, and there is a coquettishness in the noble spirit of the people, not angry and angry; The other person is a woman the same age as herself, Zhu Huan is green, extravagant, and not angry and arrogant.

The Xue family didn't know this woman, but thinking about it, there was no doubt that this girl should be the lord of Luo Bing. Therefore, he bowed his head and bowed to worship.

"You're Cheyenne's stepmother?" Ling Luobing asked unceremoniously.

Obedient and obedient, as soon as she heard Ling Luobing's tone, she suddenly remembered that before she left, her daughter Xia Zixian told her: "It is rumored in Beijing that Ling Luobing, the county lord of Lingrui Wangfu, has always liked Yu Shizi, and last time because Xia Ansheng was angry with me and Ziwu, we lost face in front of the noble girls. Today, she recklessly invited someone to invite her mother to come over, and it was hard to guarantee that it was not because of Xia Ansheng. Mother should be careful in everything, but don't be dragged down by Xia Ansheng. ”

Xue nodded: "Exactly." ”

Ling Luobing smiled "hehe": "You have raised a good daughter." ”

Xue Shi could hear her hostility from her voice, and smiled: "An Sheng, this girl, has been unruly since she was a child, and she is disobedient to her upbringing. ”

The woman next to her said, "Get up and sit down." ”

Xue hurriedly thanked him, then stood up and sat down sideways at the bottom of the head. Immediately, someone stepped forward and offered tea.

"Ansheng, this girl, I look very good, it's not as exaggerated as you say." The woman said gently.

Xue didn't understand what the woman's attitude was for a while, so he didn't dare to speak recklessly, and said perfunctorily: "People are clever, but their temperament is too strong. ”

The woman nodded: "My family Jingyun has told me about it before. It can be seen from her desperate efforts to save her father in Dali Temple that it is indeed as you said, some are stronger. ”

Xue Shi raised his face in surprise and glanced at the woman, accompanied by a smiling face: "May I ask who you are?" ”

Ling Luobing snorted lightly: "This is the eldest lady of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion." ”

Xue's face was sincerely frightened: "It turned out to be Mrs. Hou, the little woman has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive me for being clumsy." ”

Mrs. Hou smiled slightly: "You and I have never met, it is natural not to know each other, Madame does not have to be polite." ”

The Xue family was promoted by Mrs. Hou, and became more and more frightened: "Madame's demeanor and wealth, how many people can there be in the entire Chang'an Dynasty?" Woman, I should have guessed long ago. ”

Mrs. Hou smiled perfunctorily, but there was obvious disdain in her eyes: "Mrs. Xia has a tongue as bright as a lotus, and Ansheng's girl has inherited your teachings." ”

At this time, Xue Shi had already tossed and turned several times in his heart, and vaguely guessed that something had come out.

Today, it is obviously Ling Luobing who is pulling the strings, and what he really wants to see is the Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion.

If she wanted to see herself, she could summon herself to the Hou Mansion, why did she come to this Ling Wang's Mansion? It's clear that there is something to avoid.

What can it be for? It must be Xia Ansheng.

She rolled her eyes, comprehended, and said with a sneer: "An Sheng, this kid is not sensible, living in the Hou Mansion can cause you trouble." ”

Mrs. Hou waved her hand: "Where is it?" This girl's single-handed needlework is quite pleasing to the old lady, and it is like a fish in water in our Hou Mansion. I like it when I look at it. ”

These words sounded like they were full of praise for An Sheng, but Xue Shi heard obvious displeasure from Mrs. Hou's voice, especially the words "like a fish in water", which was even more permeated with a trace of dissatisfaction.

Xue climbed up the pole: "This kid is indeed a little clever and will please people." ”

Mrs. Hou raised her eyebrows indifferently: "I heard that this child is already seventeen years old after the New Year?" ”

Xue nodded: "Madame is really careful, exactly." ”

"Is there anyone?"

The Xue family couldn't help but be stunned, the matter of Yu Jingyun and An Sheng was spreading in the capital, who in the capital didn't know? Could it be that Mrs. Hou Ye actually came to propose marriage to An Sheng today?

As soon as he thought of this, the Xue family was jealous and hateful in his heart, Xia Ansheng was a wild girl, it was a blessing from several generations of cultivation, and she actually climbed to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion?

Being able to have a relationship with the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is undesirable for the Xue family. But it definitely can't be Xia Ansheng! If Xia Ansheng soared into the sky, climbed the high branches, and became the concubine of the Hou Mansion, wouldn't she be trampled under her feet for the rest of her life?

Xue Shi hated it very much in his heart, but he couldn't bring it out on his face, so he smiled far-fetchedly: "Not yet, this girl has a high heart." ”

"Oh, it's good if you don't have a match." Mrs. Hou Ye is also smiling and not smiling.

Xue raised his face: "Isn't it Madame, you want to raise An Sheng?" ”

Mrs. Hou and Ling Luobing glanced at each other: "I really let you tell me." ”

Xue gritted his teeth with hatred, and the corners of his lips twitched twice: "How can this girl have such a good fortune?" ”

"Who made your daughter be treated?" Mrs. Hou laughed dryly: "One of my distant nephews fell in love with her at a glance. ”

Xue Shi was startled, and suddenly raised his face: "You, what did you say?" Distant nephew? ”

Ling Luobing on the side snorted softly: "If not, who do you think it is?" ”

Xue suddenly came to his senses: "It's just a little flattered for a while." Mrs. Hou's nephew must also be a dragon and phoenix among people, and he can actually look at my family's Ansheng, which is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. ”

Ling Luobing sneered again: "You, a mother, are much more knowledgeable than her." ”

At this time, the Xue family had fully understood what Mrs. Hou meant.

Obviously, Mrs. Hou, as Yu Jingyun's mother, does not want to see Xia Ansheng.

She is obviously a matchmaker, who knows if she is beating herself secretly, so that she has self-knowledge, and don't think about Gao Panhou Mansion?

Xue's heart immediately rejoiced, and directly rendered the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"When a woman knows who she is, she is self-aware. Ansheng's girl didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, so I was afraid that the county lord and his wife would laugh at her. ”

Mrs. Hou has seen all the changes on her face, and she already knows in her heart that An Sheng, the stepmother, is eager to trample An Sheng into the mud.

Mrs. Hou smiled a lot more kindly this time.

"An Sheng is also the daughter of Shilang's Mansion now, and my nephew is now also a deputy general, which can be described as young and promising, no matter in all aspects, it is more than enough to match her. I don't know what Mrs. Xia thinks? ”

The Xue family didn't even inquire, and agreed to it: "If you can climb high, Mrs., what do I have to say, the ancestor has burned high incense." ”

Mrs. Hou nodded with satisfaction: "With your words, I will be relieved, and I can go back to my distant brother's house." ”
