Chapter 81: Confession
I didn't sleep well at noon, and my face was really not good-looking when I woke up.
Xiahou Yu took a picture of his lips with lipstick in front of the mirror and sighed secretly.
Since Xiao Huan is guarding against her, she shouldn't be annoying!
She snorted coldly in her heart, put the matter behind her, and went to the Wu family.
The elders and ladies I had seen in the ancestral hall in the morning had not yet left, kneeling down on a desk and gossiping.
Xiahou Yu stepped forward and saluted one by one, and then everyone sat down with dignity and dignity.
Wu asked Xiahou Yu gently: "Have you rested well?" ”
"All is well." Xiahou Yu thanked him.
Several elders chatted with her curiously. Ask her what she usually does. What books to read? What are your interests and hobbies or something. Xiahou Yu likes the Wu family, wants to make the Wu family's face shine, and answers respectfully and modestly, with a generous demeanor and a gentle expression, which not only shows the dignity and grace of the eldest princess, but also shows the demure and elegance of the women of the family, so that several elders see it in their eyes and are happy on their faces, and they praise the Wu family for marrying a good daughter-in-law.
Wu was humble on his lips, but he could not hide his joy and pride between his eyebrows.
Everyone was in a lively place, and a maid quietly walked to Wu's side and whispered a few words to Wu.
Wu's smile suddenly stiffened.
Everyone is a master of observing faces, and some elders said, "What's the matter?" ”
"No, nothing!" Wu hurriedly smiled, "It's the second brother and wife who have arrived." ”
can be called the second brother-in-law by the Wu family, only Xiao Xi's wife Ji.
Xiahou Yu not only knew Ji's family, but for a while Ji and her had a close relationship, but later she found out that Ji's wanted to use her to interfere in the internal affairs of the Xiao family, and always liked to make some small moves behind her back, which made her feel disgusted.
It stands to reason that Xiao Xi should be Xiao Huan's closest person, and Xiao Xi should take the initiative to help preside over the overall situation of Xiahou Yu's ancestral genealogy. Not only did he not help, but he didn't even come forward.
At this time, the Ji family arrived, I don't know if Xiao Xi has arrived?
Or, as in his previous life, Xiao Xi would often call himself sick, and the Ji family would attend some personal contacts at home on his behalf?
Xiahou Yu lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
Ji led the way with a woman of her age and led seven or eight women into the courtyard.
She greeted the elders from a distance, and when she got closer, she saluted everyone in a friendly manner, and was surprised to pull Xiahou Yu's hand.
Xiahou Yu smiled and saw what she was going to do, so he didn't refuse, as if he was seeing her for the first time, and smiled shyly at her.
"Ouch!" Ji's smile was like a flower, and he said to Wu exaggeratedly, "Sister-in-law is really a blessing." Look at our eldest princess, what a rare beauty. Standing with our family's eldest Langjun, it can be said that he is a talented man and a woman, and he is a natural pair. Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about Da Langjun from now on, with such a good daughter-in-law to take care of, are you still afraid that Da Langjun will not have a good life? ”
Wu smiled and nodded.
It's just that the smile seems a little reluctant.
Obviously, I don't like Ji's style very much.
No, it's not just like it or not, but it looks like he doesn't know how to deal with Ji.
Xiahou Yu smiled in his heart.
Although Ji is from a prominent background, it is one of the oldest surnames in Wu, dating back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but by the time of Ji's generation, it has long declined, and the family relies on a lacquerware shop to maintain chewing.
But Ji's aunt, Xiao Huan's step-grandmother, is very outstanding. After Xiao Huan's grandmother died, Xiao Huan's grandfather had originally chosen the daughter of another Wuzhong family as his stepfamily, but when he passed by the Ji family's lacquerware shop, he saw Ji's aunt who went to the lacquerware shop to bring food to his father, and fell in love at first sight, regardless of the opposition of the family, and married Ji's aunt as his wife.
Although Ji's aunt got married, she was not recognized by the daughters-in-law of the Xiao family, and she always looked down on her in her bones.
Ji is the same as her aunt, she is very beautiful, and Xiao Xi has liked this cousin since she was a child. Seeing that his marriage was not going well, he simply had a showdown with his parents, and wanted to marry Ji as his wife.
Xiao Huan's grandfather didn't agree, but he couldn't hold back the tears of Xiao Huan's step-grandmother, and this family affair was done in a daze.
After the Ji family entered the door, unlike Xiao Huan's step-grandmother, she did not hide her background, nor did she change the pungency brought by her mother's family, although she was incompatible with the daughters-in-law of the Xiao family, but she lived a good life with Xiao Huan - she used the name of the Xiao family to take the Ji family's craftsmanship and do business with people outside. In her previous life, when Xiahou Yu and she were acquainted, she had already bought seven or eight shops in the most prosperous downtown of Jiankang City, and became the largest lacquerware merchant in Jiankang City.
After the Ji family praised Xiahou Yu in a good way, he introduced several women who came with her to Xiahou Yu one by one.
Xiahou Yu's gaze stayed on Xiao Han's wife Jiang Shi the most.
In her previous life, she and Jiang didn't meet Xiao Han as often.
She was born in the Langyu Jiang clan and is a side branch of the Langyu Jiang clan. When the imperial court moved south, Jiang encountered a warm epidemic and suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately Xiao Han's great-grandfather was rescued and introduced as a confidant by Jiang's great-grandfather, and later married Jiang to Xiao Han.
Jiang doesn't say much, has a gentle smile, goose egg face, apricot eyes, decent manners, and elegant appearance, Xiao Han respects this wife very much, and the concubines also respect her very much.
She also brought her eldest daughter Xiao Shan this time.
Xiao Shan looks like Jiang Shi poured out of the same mold, probably because of her age, she is much more lively than Jiang, she has a little smile when she doesn't speak, and when she laughs, she shows her little tiger teeth, which looks not only cute, but also exuberant like ice and snow. After saluting Xiahou Yu, he quietly stared at Xiahou Yu, looking at Xiahou Yu's eyes as if he had seen some treasure.
Xiahou Yu was strange.
Could it be that Xiao Shan was also like this in front of her in her previous life?
Why wasn't she impressed at all?
When Xiao Han tried to shove her daughter next to her, she refused directly.
The others are Xiao Huan's wives from his brother, most of them are daughters of big families in Wuzhong, and one of them is a pair of cousins who married into the Xiao family together, and the relationship is very complicated.
But this is not a problem for Xiahou Yu at all.
In a few words, she separated from each other.
Ji Shi said to Wu with an apologetic face: "His second uncle originally planned to go to Qinglong Mountain early in the morning, but who knew that he had a terrible headache when he got up in the morning, and he was dizzy when he stood up, there was no way, so I had to call the medical staff to come over, and I couldn't go to Chengqinglong Mountain in the morning." Speaking of this, she looked at Xiahou Yu with a smile, "Fortunately, it wasn't too late, just in time for the banquet for the eldest princess in the evening." ”
Wu was still a little unhappy, but Ji's words had already come to this point, and she didn't have much to worry about, so she asked Xiao Xi's condition lightly, and asked people to take some good gastrodia for dizziness and give it to Ji.
