Shu Shi replied: "Ready." He turned his head and glanced at Xia Jin.

Xia Jin glanced at her and didn't make a sound.

"Then let's go." The old lady was resolute, stood up and walked out.

Everyone hurried to keep up.

When she went to the front hall to meet the men, Mrs. Shao only said that the hour was not early, and she was afraid that the sister-in-law of the Cen family would be in a hurry at home, so she went back to Xuanping Houfu first. When Mrs. Shao heard that the third son's family also followed, she didn't say anything, and with a wave of her hand, more than 20 people from Hulala got on the car, rode horses, and went to Xuanping Houfu in a mighty way.

Shu Shi followed closely by Mrs. Shao's side, and finally got into a carriage with her.

Guo Shi, who came in the same car with Mrs. Shao, smiled, turned to Xia Jin and said, "Auntie sit with you." ”

Xia Jin saw it, and his heart warmed, but he also felt sad.

Shu's temperament couldn't be more honest. She never pleases and behaves, let alone goes out of her way to please others. According to her temperament, she will definitely walk at the end of the crowd, wait for everyone to get in the car, and then silently take her own car to Cen Mansion, and will never compete with the eldest aunt and the second aunt for favor. Now that she is like this, she must want to take the opportunity of being in the carriage to tell Mrs. Shao that she can neither promise the Luo family's family affairs nor refuse to Mrs. Shao.

For the sake of her daughter, she would rather be misunderstood and go against her heart.

If her mother can do this for herself, Xia Jin will naturally not let her aunt misunderstand her mother.

She explained to Guo: "The Luo family's family affair is more complicated, if you refuse it directly, maybe there will be rumors, saying that Luo Gongzi went to the border for me, regardless of his life and future, but I came to the capital but thought about it." greedy for the powerful and refused to marry him. My mother wanted to explain the stakes to my grandmother, so I thought about sharing the car with my grandmother and talking all the way. She is dedicated to me, and if there is any rudeness, please forgive my aunt. ”

Saying that, she blessed Guo Shi.

She wasn't loud. But it's not small. Because of the order of the young and old. Those sisters-in-law didn't get into the car, but waited for Guo and Yang to get into the car before they got on. The two or three people who were standing closer to Xia Jin and Guo heard Xia Jin's words.

Kwok is actually nothing. It's just that I feel that the newly recognized third brother and sister are a little flattering, and they don't seem to be quite the same as them, so I have some thoughts in my heart.

When Xia Jin explained this, she was embarrassed. Holding Xia Jin and saying, "Don't say that." You have been living abroad for decades, and you should have been closer to the elderly. I'm embarrassed to say that. It's as if there is no room for people. ”

"The eldest aunt is naturally generous, I just explained it like this, so as not to misunderstand my mother." Xia Jin said with a smile.

Seeing that everyone was standing, she said again: "Auntie, get in the car quickly." The sisters-in-law are waiting. ”

"Let's go, let's be together." Guo Shi pulled Xia Jin and got into the car affectionately.

But the carriage was halfway there. It stopped. Guo's status in the Shao family is the same as that of the Xiao family. is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she is also the housekeeper's daughter-in-law. Seeing the carriage stop, she hurriedly lifted the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Her son rode by and replied, "It's my grandmother's car that has stopped, and my son is going to take a look." So saying, he stepped forward.

But just a few minutes after leaving, he turned around again and said, "Grandmother asked the sixth sister to get into her car and sit in it." ”

Xia Jin saw that Guo Shi turned his head to look at her, and realized that there were five daughters in front of the Shao family, and the "sixth sister" referred to her.

She hurriedly got up: "Auntie, then I'll go to the front." ”

"Well, let's go."

The carriage that Guo was riding was in second place in a carriage procession, and it was the closest to the one that Mrs. Shao was riding. After a while, Xia Jin got on the first one. The carriage procession moved slowly again.

"Grandmother, are you looking for me?" Xia Jin guessed that Mrs. Shao was looking for her, and it must be for Mrs. Luo's marriage. But what exactly to ask, she really couldn't guess. Her relationship with the Luo family, the Shu family knows everything she can say, so why do you have to ask herself?

"I ask you." Old Madam Shao got straight to the point, "Before you left Linjiang, did you have an alliance with Luo Gongzi?" ”

"Nope." Xia Jin shook his head, "After Mrs. Luo helped him get engaged to Miss Zheng, he once came to me and said that he wanted to join the army. I advised him to marry Miss Zheng and participate in the imperial examination, and not to do such a senseless thing, which would only worry his parents. There was no agreement with him. ”

"That's good." Old Madam Shao put her mind at ease and patted Xia Jin's hand, "Okay, leave everything to grandmother, grandmother will take care of it." ”

Xia Jin glanced at Shu, and Shu nodded slightly. She turned her head and smiled at Old Madam Shao: "It's better to have a grandmother." ”

It's true.

Shu is the same generation as Mrs. Luo, his status is a lot shorter, and his temperament is soft. It was too difficult for her to confront Mrs. Luo. If there was no Old Madam Shao, Xia Jin would have to go into battle in person to settle the matter.

But Mrs. Shao is different. Her status is similar to that of Mrs. Xuanpinghou, and she is old, qualified, wise, upright, and has no shortage of city government. Whatever she said, Mrs. Luo would never dare to do it with her neck.

After walking for a while, the carriage stopped in front of the Xuanping Houfu. The group got off the car, got off the horse, and when they walked to the second gate, the old lady Xuanping and the Xiao family had already come out.

Old Madam Shao hurriedly took two quick steps, took Mrs. Xuanpinghou's hand, and said affectionately: "Old sister, why are you still coming out?" We're not guests, so where do we want you to be welcomed? ”

"Hmph, I'm not going to welcome you old thing. I'm trying to see more of these awesome guys. "The friendship between Mrs. Xuanping Hou and Mrs. Shao is obviously not ordinary, and they joke with each other.

As she spoke, she saw that Shu Shi and Xia Jin were also in the crowd, and greeted with a smile: "You are here too?" Let's get inside. ”

"Wait." Old Madam Shao shouted, turned her head and beckoned Shao Hengguo and Xia Zhengqian, "Second and third, come here." ”

Therefore, it was the second gate, and the men were ready to go in the other direction, but when they saw Xuanping waiting for the old lady to come out, they stopped and prepared to go to the front yard after saluting. Hearing their mother's call, the twin brothers stepped forward.

"Look at what they look like." Old Madam Shao said proudly.

Needless to say, the old lady Xuanping and Xiao Shi looked sluggish, their eyes looked at the two people in front of them fixedly, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

These two people are simply printed in one mold.

"Old sister, I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't met Sister Jin and her in Linjiang and summoned her to Beijing, our family would have no hope of reuniting. When Mrs. Shao talked about this, she was still very emotional.

She beckoned to Xia Zhengqian, and when he walked in front of her, she took his hand and said to Mrs. Xuanpinghou: "Reintroduction, this is my third son." is a twin brother with the second Hengguo. ”

"Really, really, is he really?" Although Mrs. Xuanping Hou's words were a question, she used a very positive tone.

Old Madam Shao nodded: "He has a jade pendant on his body, which I stuffed into his swaddling clothes back then." ”

It took Mrs. Xuanping to digest the news for a while, and said with emotion: "That's really good." Congratulations on your family reunion. Speaking of the back, her eyes reddened.

Old Madam Shao wiped her tears and said to Shao Hengguo and Xia Zhengqian: "Okay, you guys go." ”

The two saluted Mrs. Xuanping Hou, and then left with their nephews.

"I'm going to have a good drink today." Old Madam Xuan Pinghou patted Old Madam Shao's hand and said happily.

Old Madam Shao didn't answer this, but said something that couldn't be beaten: "I heard that there is a prefect's wife surnamed Luo living in your house?" She's your relative? ”

Old lady Xuanping knew what it meant as soon as she heard it. Half an hour ago, Mrs. Luo went out, and the next person knew about her.

"Exactly." She laughed, "It's not my relative." Do you remember? When you gave birth to Brother An, it snowed heavily in the capital that year, and a good sister of mine surnamed Zhao came to the capital from Su Province and lived in my house for two months. At that time, you also gave her half-year-old daughter a set of head jewelry as a gift for her meeting. ”

Old Madam Shao thought about it and suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered." His eyes froze, "Could it be that the child is this prefect's wife?" ”

"That's not it, that's her sister. This is called Bai Ying, the youngest daughter of my best friend surnamed Zhao, who is four years younger than the girl you have ever seen. ”

"Oh, that's it." Old Madam Shao smiled, "After it turns out to be an old man, it will be easy to do." ”

She looked at Mrs. Xuanping: "I want to see her." ”

Mrs. Xuanping Hou and Mrs. Shao had the most similar temperament and temperament when they were young, and each other's husbands were sworn brothers, and the two families had a deep relationship with each other, which was deeper than her relationship with her white girlfriend.

Although the two haven't seen each other for decades, based on her experience, she can judge from just a few words that this sister is still the same as before - she is still very sensible, and she will never attack people for no reason. Now her face is not good, and she asked to see Mrs. Luo, thinking that it was Mrs. Luo who did something foolish, which caused the elders to come to the door.

She didn't intend to stop it, and ordered her subordinates to invite Mrs. Luo, turned her head and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go in and talk." ”

The group went to the inner hall.

As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Luo arrived.

She was surprised to see many people sitting in the dark press in the hall. Glancing at the hall, she found that Shu Shi and Xia Jin were present, she frowned, bowed to Mrs. Xuanping, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I heard that General Shao's family has arrived today." I want to sit next to you this is Mrs. Shao, right? ”

"Exactly." Old Mrs. Xuan Pinghou introduced her with a smile, "The two people sitting next to her are the eldest wife of the Shao family, Guo Shi, and the second wife, Yang. ”

As soon as she stopped speaking, Mrs. Shao pointed at Shu Shi and said, "This is my third daughter-in-law, Shu Shi." (To be continued)
