Zhuo's mansion is quiet during the day, and it is even quieter at night, like a deserted courtyard with no people.

Zhuo Xiyu sat on the couch, holding a book in her hand, and listened to Feng's mother talk about the interpersonal relationships of her uncle's family in the capital with a light smile.

"If it weren't for the old man's temper back then, he would have cut off contact with the family in the capital, and the young lady would not have suffered these grievances over the years, and the person who couldn't raise his face would not have been raised as a lady." Thinking of Xu's appearance during the day, Feng's mother was angry, and the strength of the pu fan in her hand was also a little stronger.

"Miss's eldest uncle's family is very simple, there is only one son and one daughter, the eldest son is one year older than Miss, and that girl should be the same age as Yuan Niang. I heard that Madam Wang, who came today, said that Mrs. Tai only asked about the affairs of the house, and it was Mrs. who was in charge. When the young lady enters the capital, she will not be wronged when she gets there. ”

Thinking that such a young lady's marriage was just around the corner, the smile on Feng's mother's face became thicker and thicker.

Zhuo Xiyu put down the book in her hand with some anxiety, "It's just that you also know the situation at home, what gift should you give on the day of your birthday?" ”

"Miss's handwriting is good, the painting is also good, the female celebrity is even better, which one gets it out by hand, it's all good"

Mother Feng got up and poured a cup of tea and handed it over, Zhuo Xiyu took it and put it on the square table next to her, her brows still locked.

At first glance, Feng's mother became more and more incomprehensible, "Miss, but what's wrong?" ”

"There is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the capital, and this little thing I take out is just a fur, how can I get it."

Zhuo Xiyu's worries are not superfluous, in a place like Jiangnan, although it is relatively rich, compared with its capital, it is the countryside, although Zhuo Mansion still has some reputation, but in the end has not been exposed to any big occasions, and has not learned the rules, when every move is slightly worse, it will make people feel small.

Mother Feng also thought of this at this time, and looked embarrassed, "Otherwise, I'll go and talk to that Mother Wang, let the girl called Xia Ri stay, and teach the rules that should be paid attention to on weekdays." ”

Zhuo Xiyu glanced at her, "Nurse, although the family is ruined, how can I also be a master, how can I let someone teach me the rules?" ”

Mother Feng hurriedly laughed a few times, "It's because I didn't think about it well, Miss, don't blame me." ”

Zhuo Xiyu shook her head, the nurse is sincere to herself, but she only thinks about the things in front of her, she is short-sighted, and she will marry herself in the future, and she is afraid that she will suffer a loss.

The children of poor families have long been in charge, they are ignorant when they are young, and their biological mother is gone, so that she is jealous of Yuan Niang and her own mother, and even pushed her into the lake by mistake.

Seeing that the young lady was silent, Mama Feng didn't dare to disturb her, so she got up and lightly filled the incense burner with some incense, and then retreated to the soft couch.

On this night, no one in the house went to bed early.

Xu arrived at Yuan Niang's yard after dark, and when he saw her coming, Yuan Niang was surprised, welcomed people to the soft couch, and served tea on Lan Mei before sitting down on the other side.

"Madame came here so late, but is there something wrong?" may be the rejection of the bottom of her heart, Yuan Niang has never called her mother.

Xu didn't care, took a sip of tea, looked at her, didn't speak, just looked up and down, and finally sighed.

She made Yuan Niang more and more unable to guess what this meant.

In the end, Xu raised his eyes again and began to look at Lan Mei on the side, Lan Mei moved to the side cautiously in fright, only to hear Xu's sigh leisurely.

"Unconsciously, this girl Lan Mei has grown so big."

Inexplicably, such a sentence came, and the frightened Lan Mei instantly knelt on the ground.

"Madame, please don't sell your slaves."

Yuan Niang also looked at the Xu family and secretly figured out a few points.

Xu's expression was numb, "Get up, where did I say I was going to sell you." ”

also no longer looked at Lan Mei, but looked at Yuan Niang and sighed, "I see that your female red is good, the eldest lady is going to the capital to celebrate Mrs. Tai's birthday, you can embroider something when you have nothing to do, and also respect filial piety." ”

The look of surprise flashed in Yuan Niang's eyes, and she responded quietly.

Xu didn't say much and got up to leave.

After sending Xu away, Lan Mei had not yet recovered from her shock.
