Chapter 18 The so-called back road

The cold wind rose, the frost moved, and everyone was so cold that they shrunk their necks.

Xia Wanrou did not shrink her neck, she held her head high and her posture was beautiful, this is the demeanor engraved in her bones when she has been a fat jade girl for several years.

She walked towards the carriage of the fat jade fang step by step, weak and beautiful, the vast heaven and earth and the white frost on the grass, falling into the eyes of others, this is a poignant moving picture.

Xia Wanxin is both jealous and envious of Xia Wanrou's beauty, and only the three words on the carriage can barely suppress her jealousy.

What about beauty, once she becomes a fat girl, it is impossible for a good man to marry her.

She thought of Lu Banjiang, in seven days it would be the day of the academy's holiday, and when the time came, she wanted to see if he still felt that Xia Wanrou was not a woman who was greedy for wealth and nobility.

Xia Wanrou was getting closer and closer to the carriage of the Fat Jade Fang, and the mother-in-law of the Fat Jade Fang had already gotten up and raised her feet to greet Xia Wanrou.

A glimmer of joy flashed in everyone's eyes.

"Slow ......"

Suddenly, a shrill voice was heard in the distance.

A white, fat, middle-aged man in a brocade suit walked briskly from the main road to this direction.

Xia Wanrou stopped.

Xia Wanxin frowned and looked at Xia Li, but saw that Xia Li also frowned at herself...... They didn't know the person who came, and they were also sure that Xia Wanrou didn't know this person.

So, what is he here for?

While thinking about it, the middle-aged man had already arrived.

He said to Xia Wanrou with a smile: "The miscellaneous family is the housekeeper next to the eldest princess, but Miss is Xia Hanlin's orphan?" ”

"Exactly." Xia Wan held her breath and bowed to Duofu Yingying, "I've seen many fathers-in-law." ”

"Miss, after worshipping Xia Hanlin, are you going to go home?" The steward asked.

When Xia Wanrou walked to the carriage of Fat Yufang, Xia Li and Xia Wanrou deliberately stayed away in order to "avoid suspicion". Therefore, at this moment, Duofu and Xia Wanrou were talking, and they didn't really hear it, only vaguely hearing the words "Xia Hanlin".

"Mother, that person has no beard, I heard that there is a county lord's mansion on the top of this Qingzhong Mountain, is this person a eunuch in the house?" Xia Wanxin asked Xia Li in a low voice.

The Xia family has been defeated for many years, and the Xia family has not walked around with serious officials and nobles for a long time, so they don't know anything about the affairs of the eldest princess's mansion. They didn't even know that the county lord's mansion on the top of the mountain was the mansion of the world-famous filial daughter Shang Yi.

Xia Li frowned worriedly: "It's so dignified, why did Wanrou talk to a eunuch?" ”

Xia Wanxin: "Mother, let's go over and have a look." ”

Xia Li said: "Let's wait and see." ”

Her face was calm, but her heart was empty, the word eunuch represented too many things, which made her hesitate to step forward.

So Xia Wanrou didn't let them wait long, and soon, she walked towards them with the eunuch.

"Mother, sister, this is the father-in-law sent by the eldest princess, and I have invited me to come over to the house, and I have already complied. I am afraid that I will have to move back from what I promised you, and trouble my mother and grandmother to negotiate. ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xia Wanxin: "My sister is smart, if my mother can't make up her mind, you can ask my sister if she has any good plans." ”

Xia Wanrou's expression and tone were extremely gentle, as if she was talking to them about a trivial matter, but Xia Li and Xia Wan's hearts sank, and they couldn't laugh when they looked at the people in the Fat Jade Fang who were still waiting.

They understood that this was Xia Wanrou's back road. I just don't know how she did it.

"What, the eldest princess is invited, are your mother and sister unhappy?"

Xia Wanrou smiled: "Father-in-law said that the eldest princess is very kind, and when I see the eldest princess, I will be cautious in my words and deeds, you don't have to worry." ”

Next to him was the father-in-law in charge of the eldest princess's mansion, Xia Li didn't dare to attack with anger in his heart, so he had to follow Xia Wanrou's words and said: "Wanrou, you can go boldly, don't worry about the family, everything has a mother!" ”

As she spoke, she suddenly felt that her back was twisted, and she immediately started to think about something else: "It's just that your sister has never seen a noble person when she is so old, why don't you take your sister to kowtow to the eldest princess?" ”

She is partial to herself, and she likes the younger daughter more than the eldest daughter, so she thinks that others will definitely think that the younger daughter is cuter than the eldest daughter.

Xia Wanrou sneered in her heart, and her face remained silent: "Mother, the eldest princess didn't say that she wanted to see her sister, and her daughter didn't dare to be self-conscious." ”

Xia Li thought in his heart, it was indeed such a reason, so he had to watch Xia Wanrou follow Duo Gonggong.
