Xu smiled and bowed, but his eyebrows were slightly raised.

According to her estimates, Chen Ying's trip will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of Emperor Yuan Jia, and maybe he will be reprimanded. Naturally, because Grandpa Guo just asked for a sentence as a reward, which is not a big taboo, so Emperor Yuanjia should give something small after reprimanding Chen Ying, and the right to compensate, so the matter will pass.

And when Grandpa Guo saw that Chen Ying returned in vain, he would blame the second room for not doing things well and blame Chen Ying for talking too much. In this way, the glory that Chen Ying gained through Chen Lu's reputation will also be annihilated, and their long room will not always have to be used by the second room as a reason.

But at this moment, Chen Ying returned empty-handed, and when she returned, her face was the same as before, and she didn't see any change, didn't that mean that the "reward" was really asked by her?

Not only did he not make a mistake, but he also made a great contribution, and the second room stepped on the long room and walked up, and he went all the way so beautifully.

Xu Shi lifted the handkerchief and pressed it on the corner of his forehead, as if he was wiping sweat, but in fact, he used this action to hide the coldness in his eyes.

However, when she put down the veil, she still had a smile on her face, and said softly to Chen Ying: "Since you are back, go to the eldest aunt to sit down, and the eldest aunt has something to tell you." ”

When Chen Ying heard this, the corners of her mouth moved habitually: "The eldest aunt is too polite, and the niece doesn't dare to be it." ”

Xu's smile became softer and softer, stepped forward and took Chen Ying's hand, and pulled her affectionately.

When they arrived at Deshui Jianxuan, the two of them still took a seat in the hugging building, and Xu asked someone to put refreshments, so he waved everyone away, and said slowly with a tea cup: "The eldest aunt called you here to discuss with you about the ten acres of paddy fields in the suburbs of Beijing, and the old lady thought that she had told you before, right?" ”

Chen Ying did know about this, so she nodded and said, "Yes, aunt, grandmother once asked Mother Liu to inform me." ”

"That's good." Xu Shi smiled and took a shallow sip of tea: "Since you know about this, then take the deed." My aunt asked the outside steward to send it in yesterday, and because I was afraid that I would forget about it, I thought that I would give it to you as soon as possible, and now I ......."

"Yo, this is to see that I'm not there, so why don't you discuss things yourself?" A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Xu's words at once.

She looked up in surprise and saw Shen standing by the door with an angry face, pushing away the curtain and walking in with his head held high.

"Third brother and sister, why are you here at this time?" Xu Shi got up and greeted, his smile was a little reluctant, and he asked, "But is there something?" ”

"Can't you come if you're fine?" didn't wait for anyone to give in, Shen sat on the armchair next to him, fanned him with a handkerchief next to his face, and said in a weird way.

"The third brother and sister are really joking, if there is nothing to do, I will be happy when you come." The smile on Xu's face was a little more natural, and he motioned for Xiao Wei to pour tea.

"Sister-in-law is too polite, how dare my little sister?" Shen Shi said coldly, glancing at Chen Ying with his eyes, and his voice became colder and colder: "Tsk, it seems that there is really no one in the second room, so I called a little girl to stand in the head." ”

A sentence with a gun and a stick scolded the long room and the second room.

Chen Ying's face did not move, drinking tea with a teacup, and Xu Shi smiled bitterly: "What are the third brothers and sisters doing?" If there is anything to say, it is. ”

"I want to be good-natured, but I can't stand someone doing something unsightly behind my back." Shen's tone became more and more hateful, he raised his neck and drank the tea in one go, waved the little maid away, poured the tea by himself, and sneered: "I came uninvited, sister-in-law's tea here can't be said that I have to drink a few bowls of raw tea." ”

This made people laugh even more, but the look on her face was annoyed and hateful, and she really poured the tea by herself, and drank it dry in one gulp, which was a bit like the man's drinking posture.

Xu's lips pursed slightly, the expression on his face was still soft and indifferent, and he raised his head to look around.

Seeing this, the little mustache who had followed the service quietly retreated, and closed the door before leaving.

Xu Shi wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, and said indifferently: "The third brother and sister are not impatient, and if you have something to say, you might as well say it." I don't have the next to the sister-in-law, and I always have time to listen to your two words. ”

The Shen family has always been used to being controlled by the Xu family, and Fang Cai just relied on the courage of the moment to break in, but now that she saw the other party's pale expression, she remembered the repeated defeats in the past ten years, and she couldn't help but be scared first.

It's just that after thinking about the news again, the flames that had been extinguished came up again.

She put down the teacup heavily, wiped the handkerchief to her mouth, and said questioningly: "Since my sister-in-law said this, then I will also speak bluntly about my little sister." You called the three girls over at this time, what is the matter? You weren't ...... before."

"The third brother and sister said this funny." Xu Shi suddenly opened his mouth, cut off her words, and said slowly: "I, who is an aunt, sit down and talk to my niece, isn't this okay?" ”

Shen was stunned by what she said, and Chen Ying took this opportunity to stand up, folded her sleeves and said, "The eldest aunt and the third aunt think that they have something to say, and the niece will not bother." As he spoke, he wanted to go out.

Her move came suddenly, and both Shen and Xu were stunned, and then Shen sneered and said, "When something happens, you will be a turtle with a shrunken head, hiding behind people and stirring up the wind and rain, when who doesn't know?" ”

"Third brother and sister, what are you talking about?" Xu Shi immediately shouted in a low voice, glanced at Chen Ying, lowered his voice more and more, and said in a deep voice: "In front of the child, you should also stop." ”

The Shen family has long been a fire, and the more Xu persuades her, the more angry she becomes. She raised her hand and pushed Xu's hand away, raised her voice and said, "Why can't I say this?" What's the matter, if you allow others to adjust three nests and four nests, you won't allow us to speak outright? ”

As she spoke, she raised her head, revealing a face full of disdain, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Hey, I don't look down on such a person anymore." In the day, I knew that I was sick and crookedly to be a sick beauty, and I used my daughter as a shield, and I was quiet on my face, and I really thought it was ...... to do some unsightly things behind my back."

"The third aunt really worked hard for those more than ten acres of paddy fields." Chen Ying interrupted her words abruptly, turned to her and smiled, her smile was strange and quiet, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with her doing this: "If the third aunt wants a paddy field and asks for it openly, why should she accuse Sang Huai of being a shrew?" My mother's illness has nothing to do with these, and my Mingfeng Pavilion's housework is not to worry about the third aunt's beak. The third aunt is in charge of the heavens and the earth, so let's take care of my own mouth first. ”
