Rui Xue picked up the two children, took a nap, and was leaning on the brocade mat staring at the red background and gold letter invitation in her hand in a daze, this is the morning Tongcheng Mansion Yin's daughter Miss Cao Hanmei sent a maid to the door, to the effect that the day after tomorrow, the old lady of Cao Mansion will celebrate her 60th birthday, and Cao Mansion will hold a banquet to congratulate her, and want to invite her to come to the door to eat and drink and listen to the play.

Originally, Rui Xue wondered how this post could be sent to her, after all, she had never dealt with the Cao family, and she didn't know whether this Miss Cao was round or flat, but she carefully read it again from beginning to end, and finally found a clue in the opening title, if it was for the Zhao family, then she should be called Mrs. Zhao, if it was for the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, she should be called Miss Chen, but this invitation was written Miss Chen, the righteous daughter of General Zhenbei.

Her identity as a righteous daughter was freshly baked when Wu Lie came to the door the day before yesterday, and this Miss Cao opened her mouth to say that, obviously she knew this very well, and then remembered Wu Lie's strange look that day, the answer was almost ready to come out.

Wu Lie's so-called family of world friends is probably Cao's Mansion, and this Miss Cao must have something to do with him, so she wants to see herself, as for whether she wants to ridicule or please, it is unknown.

The old lady picked up the freshly embroidered purse, and saw that her young lady's face was strange, so she smiled and said, "Miss, are you still thinking about the Cao family's birthday banquet?" ”

Rui Xue nodded and praised casually, "Mama, this Miss Cao's handwriting is really good." ”

The old lady put down her purse and said with a smile, "Miss Boudoir, I have nothing to do all day, I can only practice calligraphy and embroidery, and I naturally write not badly. ”

Ruixue burst out laughing, "Mama praises me so much all day long, I'm going to blush." ”

The old lady held her chest up, her face full of pride, "This is not what I said, the teahouse business is so good, no one in this city praises Miss." ”

"Okay, okay." Rui Xue moved to the old grandmother's side, leaned on her shoulder, and asked, "Mama, you said that this Cao family's birthday banquet, should I go, I don't like people to be noisy, and I don't know each other..."

The old lady has always regarded the master as the sky, and when she heard Rui Xue say she was unwilling, she said, "Then don't go, just prepare a generous gift and send someone to send it. ”

"It's good to have Mama here," Rui Xue rubbed on the old Mama's shoulder, like a little girl who was coquettish with her mother, "No matter what happens in the future, our teahouse is still open here, it's not good to offend the Cao family, I'll think about it again." ”

While the two were talking, Qin Xin, who had gone to make tea in the stove, ran in and said, "Madam, Mr. is back." ”

The old lady and Rui Xue looked at each other, they were silent for a long time, the old mother patted Rui Xue's shoulder, sighed, and said, "Miss, don't be annoyed, you have something to say." ”

"Hmm," Ruixue replied softly, leaning back on the brocade cushion and gently brushing the soft hair on the foreheads of the two sleeping children.

The old lady withdrew with Qin Xin, and looked at Zhao Fengnian, who was standing in the hall with a somewhat embarrassed face, and didn't say anything, turned around and went out after a salute.

Qin Xin watched Zhao Fengnian enter the inner room, and whispered, "Can the masters reconcile, if the second miss is not here, otherwise there will definitely be trouble." ”

The old lady shook her head and took her to the stove room with her, and Jian Wu was washing her face, and they just happened to help.

Zhao Fengnian opened the door of the house, and there was no movement inside, but unconsciously his heart was weak, he walked in lightly, bypassed the screen, and saw that his wife and children who had been missing for many days were in bed, so he was even more cautious, stepped forward and whispered, "Xue, I'm back." ”

Rui Xue faced the bed, as if she hadn't heard it, and patted the two children for a while, Zhao Fengnian sighed in his heart, and didn't dare to step forward again, and said in a low voice, "Xue, it's all my fault, I have wronged you." Just now, I have made it clear to the elders in the family, I will never marry the daughter of the Wu family, I will also let out the position of the head of the family, hand over the account books and business, and in three days, our family will go back to Lingfeng City. ”

Rui Xue's hand paused, her face slowly softened, and she responded lightly, "Will the master let you go?" ”

Master? Zhao Fengnian was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to react, this old man refers to his father, when he went out, Rui Xue still called his father in general with him, and now he is so unfamiliar, it must be that when the conflict was in place, what his father did hurt her heart too much.

"Father... I still haven't figured it out, but let's take him back with us, and slowly persuade him to change in the future. Zhao Fengnian sighed and bowed deeply, "Although I don't know what my father did wrong that day, he is my father after all, Xue, for my sake, forget about it." ”

Rui Xue remembered the horror of that day, her back suddenly straightened, and she turned her head to look at Zhao Fengnian, "Do you know what he did?" Is it so easy to forget?

He forced the woman to drink the poison in front of me, and she bled from all over the place! Then he will take the child and drive me out of Tongcheng, or else he will end up with the woman.

I see that he is your father's affection, I can't afford to provoke and hide, as a result, I can't leave, he actually shouted that someone wanted to arrest me! If it weren't for the protection of Jian Wu and Qin Xin, if you come back today, my child will have no mother! ”

Rui Xue didn't want to say too much, after all, it was Zhao Fengnian's father, this is a place where filial piety is more important than the sky, but she just couldn't bear it, remembering that her child was almost robbed by life, she hated it so much that she wanted to kill, and she couldn't stop her tears.

Zhao Fengnian looked at his wife crying and tears crackling, his heart ached, he thought that his father had said something unpleasant, how did he know that the truth was so unbearable?

He took a few steps forward and wanted to hold his wife and children in his arms, but he didn't want Rui Xue to grab a soft cushion and smash it, "I married you at the beginning, to be honest, I was seriously injured, and I didn't have the right to choose at all." But since I married you, I asked myself, Zhao Fengnian, I am worthy of you, there is an egg, you eat, there are two eggs, you eat one and keep one, you have a cold poison attack, I will go bankrupt to buy medicine to save you!

Yes, I was afraid that you would die and I would be sold into slavery, but I worked diligently, braved the wind and snow, and was not tired for this family? I'm tired, I'm hard, have I complained to you for half a word?

You are proud, I tolerate you, and show you mercy everywhere, for fear that you will feel uncomfortable! You said that in Tongcheng, I am your Zhao Fengnian's wife, so everything is worry-free, but as a result, don't talk about others, only who in your Zhao family has given me a good face, I endured it, I tried my best to please your father, but I don't want you to be uncomfortable in the middle?

As a result, he's going to poison me! You're going to rob my kid! You want to get me out of Tongcheng! Your Zhao family is the oldest, you really think you are the emperor Laozi!

I, Qin Ruixue, have hands and brains, I can earn back gold and silver, and I don't care about your Zhao family's little family business! ”

Ruixue was originally afraid of waking up the child, and suppressed her voice, but the more she said it, the more angry she became, and she forgot that the two children were suddenly woken up, and she cried, she hurriedly picked up her filial brother and coaxed her, and Zhao Fengnian took the opportunity to hug Yiran.

The husband and wife each held a child and gently shook to coax them, but fortunately, the two children didn't like to cry for a long time, but after a while, they bit their fingers and looked at their father and mother with big eyes with dew on their eyelashes, with an ignorant and innocent face.

Zhao Fengnian's heart was warm and soft, and he kissed his daughter on the forehead, not wanting to make his daughter frown again, so he quickly shook it twice, and saw that his daughter's brows were loosened, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he raised his eyes, he saw his wife holding his son, one big and one small, all of which were tears rippling, and he felt even more guilty in his heart.

"Xue, you have been wronged, everything is not good for me, I know that whatever I say, I can't make up for the fright of your mother and son, I knew that as soon as I left, there would be so many twists and turns, and I wouldn't leave. But now, the trade route has been opened, I have done my best for the Zhao family, and I don't have to worry about it anymore, we can go home soon, and never come back. ”

Zhao Fengnian sighed, "As for my father... Well, if you really don't like it, just keep him in the old mansion for another year, and when he wants to open it, I will take him back to Lingfeng City. ”

Rui Xue scolded just now, and her heart was much happier, and she was even happier when she saw that he was going to leave his old father and go home with their mother and son, but he rolled his eyes on his face and said angrily, "Leave your father and go with us, are you really willing?" ”

Zhao Fengnian was stunned, saw his wife's face, and immediately said happily, "Xue, you mean... You mean, you want to take my dad back with you? Great, Snow, I knew you were a reasonable woman. ”

Rui Xue rolled her eyes again, and while checking whether her son's diaper was wet, she said, "Don't be too happy, I'm not doing this for you, I'm afraid that if we leave on the front foot, the people of Tongcheng will be able to leave behind the gossip of the seriously ill old father for a woman, and spread it to everyone in the martial arts." I don't care about this, it's just that my son and daughter will marry someone in the future, and this reputation is not good. ”

"Yes, yes, it's not a good reputation." Zhao Fengnian was so happy that he didn't know what to say, Rui Xue said a word, and he echoed it.

"Also, when I return to Lingfeng City, I will do my duty as a daughter-in-law, but that is my territory, I have to make my own decisions, and I can't ask me to obey everything because he is your father." Rui Xue took the opportunity to put forward absolute sovereignty, and did not want to cause peace in the family because of a filial piety at that time.

Zhao Fengnian hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Okay, if there is anything wrong with my father, I will persuade you, and I will not want you to be wronged again." Besides, his body also... I can't hold on for a few years, when I was young, for the sake of the family business, I traveled all over the world, slept in the open air, and fell into a lot of diseases, so he was so reluctant to give up this business, embarrassed for you, don't be jealous of him anymore. ”

As long as the family can go home happily, Rui Xue naturally has nothing else to ask for, and when she enters her territory, it is difficult for the old man to deal with, and what big waves can he make.

"He is your father, the child's grandfather, how can I be jealous, don't worry about it." Rui Xue tugged at the wrinkled clothes on his body, and said, "I made you a new robe, you can wash it and put it on." ”

"Okay, make me something to eat again, the steamed buns are frozen on the way." Zhao Fengnian saw that his wife was finally discouraged, and the feeling of exhaustion also came up, only to feel that his whole body was sore and unbearable.

Rui Xue hurriedly shouted the sword dance qin heart, prepared the bath bucket hot water and clothes, and then took the two children to sit and play in the hall, the old lady had just listened to a few words outside, and then came to the front and asked in a low voice, "Why should the young lady take the old man home, if he..."

Rui Xue glanced at the door of the house and smiled faintly, "Mama, that's Mr.'s father, if you leave him behind, there will be a good one, Mr. will go back and forth, not to mention, there will be a pimple between us, that's not what I want." As for bringing him, one is to settle down Mr. An's heart, and the other is... Don't we still have Amber here, Amber's medical skills are very good. ”
