After Cuizhu came in, he knelt directly on the ground.

Lan Mei blinked, glanced up at her master, and then stepped aside to stand.

"Ask the second lady to ask for a slave." Cuizhu raised her head with a firm face, "The slave is willing to go to the soup for the second lady." ”

Don't say what you want first, but show determination, Yuan Niang understands a little in her heart.

"Get up and talk" can be regarded as a change of direction.

Cuizhu cried with joy and wiped the tears on her face, before she was helped by Lan Mei to stand up, "Slave and maid Xie Second Miss for her life." ”

"You just have to go back, if there is anything, I will help you, but don't think about it yourself, if something really happens, I can't protect you, and you know the awkward position of my identity."

Cuizhu nodded solemnly, "Second Miss, don't worry, the slave maid is by no means the kind of willful, it's not early, the slave maid won't disturb the second lady's rest." ”

When he arrived at the door, Cuizhu remembered, and admonished, "Today's lady seems to regret marrying the prince is not the eldest lady, the slave maid sees that the lady has a strange expression, and the second lady should pay attention to it on weekdays." ”

Yuan Niang had expected this to happen, so she thanked Cuizhu.

Lan Mei sent someone back, saw that the master had fallen asleep, so he did not speak again, the next day at dawn, everyone got up and went on the road, when the inn went downstairs, Xu turned a blind eye to Yuan Niang.

Yuan Niang sneered, Xu has such a temperament, fortunately she made a decision at the beginning, otherwise she would have been too deeply involved with herself, and she was afraid that she would have to worry about her for the rest of her life.

It's not that she's unfilial, but she doesn't know how to use her own daughter like this, and it's no different from having a poisonous insect around her.

In addition to the carriage is a horse, the speed is not fast, with the experience of the last time, this time Yuan Niang is not as irritable as in the past, only to feel in the blink of an eye, people will arrive in the capital.

This time, Zhuo's mansion opened the door to welcome Yuanniang's mother and daughter into the mansion, although Dong's smile was blunt, he still had a polite conversation with Xu, and the two talked for a while, and the girl over there came back.

"Mrs. Tai is not feeling well, she has been asleep, and said that she will not see her cousin and second cousin today."

Dong's eyes flashed with pride, but he looked at Xu impatiently, "Mother-in-law is not in good health for a while, since this is the case, my younger sister and Yuan Niang will rest first, anyway, there will be more time to meet in the future." ”

Xu Shi smiled coldly, "Yes, now that our Yuan Niang is about to marry into the Hou Mansion, I also plan to buy a house in this capital and settle down, and I will live in the capital in the future, where to use such politeness." ”

Dong glanced Xu up and down, "Brother and sister don't know yet, right?" The house in this capital is the place where the greedy people live, and it is not less than 10,000 taels, which is expensive. ”

Without thinking too much, you can hear that the Dong family is looking down on the Xu family.

According to Dong's understanding, the Zhuo Mansion in Jiangnan can't even afford it, and when Wang's mother came back, she also said that the Xu family personally went to the kitchen to cook, which shows that the family is only to the point of doing work for others, and even wants to buy a house in the capital, which is really a big joke.

As soon as he heard the money, Xu's face was proud, "Don't say anything else, there is still some money, but after all, we are new to here, and we will have to bother my sister-in-law to find a good place when we come." ”

Dong was stunned for a moment, "Okay, I'll let people take a look in the next few days." ”

But I was puzzled in my heart, could it be that this Xu family still has some private money? Or was Xiyu's dowry moved by her in private? Such speculation made Dong uneasy for an instant.

forcibly sent Xu and Yuan Niang to the prepared courtyard, and then turned around and went to Xixue Pavilion.

Zhuo Xiyu had heard that Yuanniang and the others were coming, but she didn't want to say hello at all, but taking into account her identity and the opinions of outsiders, she knew that she had to go.

When she was hesitating, Dong came, which relieved her.

After the two sat down on the couch, Dong continued her to ask, "Xiyu, the eldest aunt has never treated you as an outsider, you tell the truth to the eldest aunt today, is your dowry collected by yourself or by your mother 、、、 Xu?" ”

Although Zhuo Xiyu didn't understand, "The dowry is collected by myself, in fact, there is nothing, but a few shops and some silver tickets, and other things have to be bought before the wedding. ”

"That's good," Dong sighed with relief.

told Zhuo Xiyu about Xu's plan to buy a house again, and Zhuo Xiyu also wondered, "Where did she get the money?" Unless it was given to her by Yuan Niang, but where did Yuan Niang get the silver? Isn't it 、、、."

Zhuo Xiyu looked at the Dong family with wide eyes, "Isn't it the silver that the prince gave her?" ”

No matter what happens these days, as long as she thinks of Yuan Niang, Zhuo Xiyu will pull out the world, thinking how she can be willing, Yuan Niang has been inferior to her since she was a child, but the one who marries her has overpowered her.

"Xiyu, in fact, you have a different idea, you are married to an uncle after all, when you are in the Hou Mansion, Yuan Niang will still respect you as an aunt, you are not pressed on her." Dong persuaded.

Zhuo Xiyu nodded, she knows all this, but in the future, the position of the Hou Ye will be taken by the prince, not the man she wants to marry, this is what she is most unwilling to do.

Sometimes, she would rather marry Aunt Yuanniang and let Yuanniang be her elder.

After sending the Dong family away, Yu Yan dared to speak, "Miss, what the slave's mother said is really not wrong, their mother and daughter don't know how much money they usually swallow." ”

It turned out that Feng's mother and her family, who were driven out, really entered Beijing, but they only found Zhuo's mansion in the past few days, and the money on their bodies was stolen on the way.

As for Feng's mother's honest husband, he felt a cold on the road and disappeared, which made Feng's mother and her daughter Yuyan blame all this on Yuanniang's mother and daughter.

Zhuo Xiyu was upset, but fortunately, Feng's mother walked in at the right time, "Miss, then the Xu family really wants to buy a house?" ”

It turned out that Feng's mother overheard those words outside, but Dong was not good at that time.

"Mother, what should I do? Could it be true that they let the young lady go down? Yu Yan observed her master's expression and made a provocative voice on the side.

Sure enough, Zhuo Xiyu's face was a little ugly.

Mother Feng walked over and took Zhuo Xiyu's hand affectionately, "Miss, why don't you go and ask now, where did the Xu family's money come from?" To put it mildly, Miss is the master of the Eight Classics, where can they be the master, if there is silver, it is also Miss's, how can they be the master. ”

"What if the money is given by the Son? What can I do? ”

"It doesn't matter who gave it, as long as you enter our house, then Miss has to be the master" Feng's mother took out the truth of the concubine again, "Back then, the Xu family was just an aunt, and Yuan Niang was just a young lady who carried the concubine, and the young lady in front of her went to ask for the silver, and they couldn't say a thing or two, and it was even more clear in the eyes of outsiders,"

Zhuo Xiyu hesitated, in fact, she knew that the reason Feng's mother said was too far-fetched, but seeing Yuan Niang pressing herself under her again and again, she was unwilling.

"Mother, forget it" Yu Yan saw a little, glanced at Feng's mother, and turned to persuade, "It won't be long before the second miss will marry into the Hou Mansion, and she will be the heroine of the Hou Mansion in the future, if the young lady can't get along with her at this time, I don't know how she will deal with the young lady in the Hou Mansion in the future, who made the young lady's life miserable, and now she is pressed down by the second young lady." ”

Taking a step back, it made Zhuo Xiyu firm up, she stood up, "Let's go, since my mother is here, why don't we go over and have a look." ”

Behind them, Feng's mother and Yu Yan glanced at each other and smiled secretly.

Yuan Niang and Xu were arranged to go to the east side room of Wangyue Xuan where the Dong family lived, separated from the Dong family's courtyard by a long corridor, and walked through two doors, so they couldn't see or worry about each other.

The partial house is divided into front and back yards, Yuan Niang lives in the backyard, and Xu's lives in the front yard, which is connected to a small corner gate.

When Zhuo Xiyu came in, he went directly to Xu's house, and saw that Xu was no longer like the cowardly and timid appearance when he was in Jiangnan, and he looked like a bit of a housewife, and when Zhuo Xiyu came in, he sat on the couch.

"Mother" Zhuo Xiyu blessed her body slightly.

"Sit down" Xu's attitude towards Zhuo Xiyu became a little more enthusiastic, and when his eyes swept to Feng's mother, he snorted coldly, "Since the eldest lady left you by her side with her old love, you can clean your hands and feet in the future, if you do something more to steal chickens and dogs, don't blame me for not sparing you." ”

Zhuo Xiyu listened to the confusion and looked at Feng's mother, Feng's mother's face was blue and red, and she was busy responding, but she didn't dare to look up at Zhuo Xiyu, it turned out that after she came to Zhuo's mansion, she found Zhuo Xiyu and didn't say that she was kicked out because she stole Xu's things, but only said that Xu framed her and drove her out.

Zhuo Xiyu was very angry when she heard this, and said that she wanted to question Xu in person when she saw her, but she was persuaded by Feng's mother, and only said that now that she is in the capital, she should not let others see it, and then it will affect her reputation, and she will suffer some grievances.

Seeing Feng's mother's weak heart like this, Zhuo Xiyu only frowned slightly and didn't say more, "Why don't you see the second sister?" ”

"She, now that she is going to marry into the Hou Mansion, the gold is expensive" is completely sarcastic.

Zhuo Xiyu was shocked again, she thought that the Xu family would be happy, but it didn't seem to be the case, "Yes, now the second sister is expensive." ”

However, with an understatement, Xu's face was a little ugly.

After observing it, Feng's mother had a few calculations in her heart, and after the group left Mochiyue Xuan, she couldn't help but whisper, "Miss, is there a way for the slave?" ”

Zhuo Xiyu didn't look back at her, but her default attitude was to agree with her, so she lowered her voice and said, "It's not as 、、、、 as this."

Yu Yan was behind her, only to see her mother talking to her master, but she didn't know what the two were talking about, and finally saw that the young lady's face finally had a happy color, and her heart was secretly strange.
