Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Return

Since the fifth day of the first month of July, there are constantly people running back and forth in the Dingxi Hou Mansion, and the news that the prince has entered Zhuolu City and has gone out of the city has come to the tenth day of the seventh month, and it has entered the boundary of Yongqing Mansion since then, since this time there is almost no day and night in the house, day and night are people coming and going, the lights are bright, and the courtyard of the Xie family is even more lively.

When Su Mei walked in with the little girls, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Song were retiring from the Xie family.

"Aunt Zhou, Aunt Song." Su Mei avoided bowing to the side.

Aunt Zhou didn't look at her, and Aunt Song glanced at her.

"Why didn't you see your aunt? At this time, she should not be missing. She smirked.

"Our aunt and grandmother are very happy these days, and Mrs. won't let her come out, so let her take care of it." Su Mei replied.

Aunt Song sighed.

"That's really going to be hard for you, Miss Mei." She smiled meaningfully.

"It's the duty of a slave." Su Mei replied with her head down.

"Okay, where did you talk so much with her, let's go." Aunt Zhou said lightly.

Aunt Song smiled and followed her.

Su Mei raised her head at this time, looked at the two figures who walked away and pouted, showing disdain, the maid in the room here had already been informed.

"What are you doing here when you're not guarding that in the house?" Xie Shi was looking through the account book, lowered his head and didn't look at her and said.

Su Mei saw that in addition to a few housekeepers in the room, there were four sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls standing, all with their heads bowed, but they couldn't hide their joy.

She slipped her eyes and replied with a smile as she saluted.

"My aunt and grandmother boiled the tea soup, thinking that Mrs. had worked hard for the past few days, so she specially asked her to send it." She hurriedly took the food box in the little girl's hand and said.

"She can't eat well by herself, so what kind of tea soup do she make for me." Xie Shi said lightly, looking up at her slightly.

Because she didn't say anything and no one dared to pick it up, Su Mei was a little embarrassed to hold it.

"Master Hou is here." The maids shouted outside the door.

Before the words were settled, Xihou strode in.

Su Mei didn't care about holding the food box in her hand, so she took it with a surprised smile, Xie sat on the kang and didn't move, a sarcastic smile floating on her lips.

"Why are you here?" Dingxi Hou saw Su Mei and asked with a smile.

"Our aunt and grandmother boiled tea soup for me to bring it." Su Mei's eyes looked at Dingxi Hou with affection and said in a coquettish voice.

"Why is she still doing this? Didn't you say you were uncomfortable? Dingxihou said, while sitting down on the kang and beckoning, "Bring it to me and taste it." ”

Su Mei was overjoyed to come over a few steps, and by bringing it out to him, the whole person had to lean on Dingxi Hou.

Ding Xihou just smiled and took a sip.

"Ping'er's good tea soup is famous on the street." He said to Xie with a smile.

Xie Shi raised his eyes and glanced at him, and Dingxi Hou also felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to mention Aunt Zhu's previous background, so he smiled and hurriedly stopped talking.

"It was our aunt who taught me, and I made it." Su Mei hurriedly took the opportunity to say.

"You did it?" Ding Xihou was surprised and nodded, "Not bad, not bad." ”

Xie smiled.

"With such a good master as Aunt Zhu, she really learns everything quickly." She said.

Su Mei just didn't understand her words, just smiled at Dingxihou shyly and expectantly, she and Aunt Zhu were in the same courtyard, if Dingxihou didn't go to them, she wouldn't be able to see them, let alone go to bed, these days, Aunt Zhu is very happy, Dingxihou has some cleanliness habits and won't go, and he hasn't seen him for several days.

The young woman who had just opened her face and became a little woman told her heart so boldly that Dingxihou couldn't help but feel numb in her heart.

"Tell your aunt, I'll see her later." He said, squeezing Su Mei's hand by handing over the bowl.

Su Mei's face was like a morning glow, and she thanked her happily.

"Brother Cheng's house has picked the people, how about you take a look?" Xie Shi said lightly.

The four girls in the room were busy saluting the Hou Ye.

Dingxihou looked at them one by one very seriously.

"It's not too pretty." He commented with a vicious eye.

The four girls bowed their heads in shame.

Xie smiled.

"These are all honest and honest, and you also know Brother Cheng's temper." She said.

"There is no man who doesn't like to be pretty." Dingxi Hou shook his head and said.

Xie Shi's face fell, and he didn't say anything, but Dingxihou nodded again.

"However, too, with Yueniang here, our family is no more beautiful than her, Brother Cheng'er is enough alone." He laughed.

Xie Shi chuckled in his heart.

"Yueniang? What's the reason for mentioning her? A few days ago, I asked people to ask, saying that it was not good that they didn't want to come out to meet people. Xie asked nonchalantly.

"Oh, I just met Ah Hao on the road.." Dingxi Hou smiled, picked up his clothes and sat on the kang, "Ah Hao, that little girl, smile and have two tiger teeth..."

When he met someone, Dingxi Hou always paid attention to what he always looked like, and Xie sneered in his heart.

Here, Mother Su waved her hand very brightly, and withdrew with a few girls, Su Mei hesitated for a moment, until Xie Shi glanced at her coldly before she hurriedly lowered her head and went out.

"Fishing by the lake, it's so naughty, I shouted and ran away in fright." Here Dingxihou said with a smile, and it seemed that he could still see the little woman going away like a rabbit.

Xie Shi didn't think it was funny, she hummed, pushed the account book to Xihou and asked about the expenses.

Ding Xihou, the general secretary of the family, has never cared, and after saying a few words, he felt that he couldn't sit still and left, and when he left, Su's mother just came in with the girls, and Xie Shi suddenly sank his face with a smile, and without saying a word, he threw the account book in his hand to the ground, and the girls in the room were so frightened that they knelt down.

"Are you all dead? His hands have reached out to Hou Ye, and he is still grinning at me here! If you have this kung fu, go and smile at your new aunt and grandmother! ”

The scolding was so heavy that even Su's mother half-knelt down.

"The old slave will check, the old slave will check." She prostrated and said.

She got up and hurried out, and before she could go out, she heard a commotion outside.

"Madam, ma'am, the prince is back." The mother-in-law and maids ran in with a smile, shouting as they ran.

Xie Shi stood down from the kang suddenly, and almost fell because he got up too violently, but Su's mother had already turned around and came back and helped her in time.

"Madam, the prince is back." She cried out in tears.

"Quick, quick.." Xie Shi cried with joy, and helped Su's mother to walk out quickly.

The entire Dingxi Hou Mansion was boiling.

"What for?" When Ah Hao turned out from behind the flower tree with two small fish, she heard the commotion, and then saw that there was a rough girl running by not far away, so she hurriedly shouted.

The girl didn't reply.

"Hurry up, the prince is back, and there will be a reward ahead." She ran away as she spoke.

Ah Hao screamed, and the fish in his hand was gone, so he threw down his feet and ran towards Qiutong Temple.

Qi Yue was sitting and talking with Ah Ru in the Qiutong Courtyard, and Ah Hao bumped in, startling the two of them.

"Who bullied you?"

"What's wrong?"

They looked at Ah Hao being chased by a vicious dog, and they all hurriedly asked.

"It's not.." Ah Hao held his knees with his hands and panted, "The world... Shizi... It's back. ”

Qi Yue and Ah Ru changed color at the same time, the difference is that Qi Yue is frightened, and Ah Ru is surprised.

"The prince is back?" Ah Ru ran down in disbelief and pulled Ah Hao and asked, "Did you see that?" ”

"No, they all ran to the lady's courtyard, and the house was in a hurry, saying that it was a reward." Ah Hao gasped and said, patting his chest, and then he sighed, "My fish.."

Fish? Ah Ru didn't care about asking where the fish came from for the time being, but turned his head happily to look at Qi Yue before he opened his mouth to speak.

"Close the door, close the door, no one is allowed to go out these days, and no one is seen," Qi Yue said with a solemn face, "Just say that I am sick, if there is a reward, I will continue, and if I am happy, I will say, but no one is allowed to go out, especially to the lady and the prince." ”

Ah Ru and Ah Hao were stunned, but soon they both nodded.

The door of the Aki Tong Temple was plugged in with a bang, isolating the hustle and bustle of the house.
