Xiangpu is named because of Xiangfu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoXiang Mansion is Xiang Shouyi's mansion. Xiang Shouyi is the fourth generation of Xiangfu. Since the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Xiang family has been famous for ten miles and eight townships.

The Xiang family not only donated officials in the court, but also built roads in the township. In Xiangpu, Xiangfu is the symbol of Xiangpu.

At this time, someone had already told Xiang Shouyi what was the reason for the commotion outside. Xiang Shouyi leaned on the recliner of Huanghuali, closed his eyes and recuperated, the fine porcelain bowl in his hand was steaming, and he hadn't taken a sip of a cup of good Longjing tea.

"Sir! Sergeant Zhou of the Xiangpu Police Station asked everyone in our house to go to the police station. Xiang Yougen, the housekeeper standing aside, lowered his head and whispered in Xiang Shouyi's ear.

"Hmm." Xiang Shouyi hummed a word out of his nose, and there was no second word.

Xiang Yougen, who had followed the master for many years, exited the room with interest.

Xiang Shouyi lay on the chaise longue and did not move, his shriveled lips under his gray beard. He didn't want to open his eyes, he was afraid of seeing the light since Xuemei ran away. He had to close the curtains during the day.

He thought that the had gone away with someone, but he didn't expect her to come back and die at the door of her house!

"Shame on you!" Xiang Shouyi scolded from his heart.

When Xuemei was married by Xiang Shouyi five years ago, Xiang Shouyi was already in her fifties, and Xuemei was only eighteen years old. At that time, Xiang Shouyi had a second spring because of Xuemei's youth. He stayed in the Xuemei House all day, and the other aunts and wives hated this Xuemei who had just passed the door.

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and Xuemei, who made everyone hate her teeth so much, has become a corpse floating on the peach blossom pool.

What Xiang Shouyi can't understand the most is that he treats Xuemei well, why did this Xuemei betray him. In terms of age, there is a bit of a gap, but he is still very strong, and he has to rest in the snow plum house for two or three nights a week. In the other aunts' rooms, he stayed at most one night.

These aunts and wives in the family are all older than Xuemei, although they usually hate Xuemei, but for the sake of his Xiang Shouyi's face, no one has ever dared to show Xuemei's face. Even Mrs. Xiang's wife, Du Yueqing, regarded Xuemei as her own sister.

Xuemei is much younger than Xiang Shouyi's eldest son Xiang Dong, and even the fourth son Xiang Bei is a few years older than Xuemei, but the children of the Xiang family have been trained by Mrs. Xiang since they were young and learned that they are scholars, and no one dares to speak too disrespectfully to this fifth aunt who is younger than herself.

Xuemei will give whatever she wants. He knew that he could only satisfy the young aunt completely materially. Even if Xuemei wants to study, he depends on her, if it weren't for Xuemei's invitation to the teaching gentleman, there would be no future.

Everything started when Mr. Lin Baiyu entered the door of Xiang's house.

Lin Baiyu is really a handsome teenager. As soon as he stepped into the door of the Xiang family, he attracted the attention of the old and young of the Xiang family. Xiang Bing, the most discerning seventh lady of the Xiang family, took a special look at Lin Baiyu several times.

Lin Baiyu and his youngest son Xiang Bei are about the same age, but they are a head taller than Xiang Bei, and they have a tall nose under the sword eyebrows. Lin Baiyu is not only handsome in appearance, but also knowledgeable, Xuemei wants to learn Chinese studies, arithmetic, English, painting, piano He can actually teach.

Within two months of Lin Baiyu coming, Xiang Bing quarreled with his father Xiang Shouyi to learn English and painting from Mr. Lin. It is said that no one in the school can teach.

At first, Xiang Shouyi treated Lin Baiyu as a child, but gradually, he felt that something was wrong. Except for the youngest daughters Xiang Bing and Xuemei, everyone else in the family is very cold to this Mr. Lin. Mrs. Yueqing and third aunt Tai Chaoyun had both hinted at him vaguely, but he never believed that Xuemei would do something sorry for him, in his eyes, Xuemei should have love for him. Although this love is more like the love of a daughter to her father.

Xiang Shouyi didn't think badly at the beginning, but when he thought about it, Xuemei and Lin Baiyu were gone. The family talked a lot, saying that they had long seen that this Mr. Lin was not ordinary to Xuemei, and the two of them were afraid that they would have secretly crossed Chen Cang a long time ago.

Mrs. Yueqing even blamed Xiang Shouyi for luring the wolf into the room, because the youngest daughter Xiang Bing cried like a tearful person after Lin Baiyu and Xuemei eloped, and everyone reacted, it turned out that Xiang Bing was also in love with this Mr. Lin.

Xiang Shouyi was angry and slapped Xiang Bing hard.

"You know how to be angry with children!" Xiang Bing's biological mother, the second aunt Tai Hongxia, cried and rushed over to protect her tearful daughter.

"Alas! Woe to the family! Xiang Shouyi sat on the Taishi's chair.

Thinking about these things now, Xiang Shouyi still feels vivid.

"Sir! There is a person outside the door who claims to be Mr. Lin's father who wants to visit you, can you see you? Butler Xiang Yougen greeted him outside the door.

"Let him in!" Xiang Shouyi wanted to see what the people who came would say.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and the door opened. Standing behind Xiang Yougen turned out to be a short, black-faced man.
