"Mother, you don't have to worry," hearing her say this, the second lady Tang Rongqiu, who was walking on the other side, said, "The daughter-in-law has asked the matchmaker to inquire about the young lady of the Ministry of Shangshu Wei's family, it is said that she is outstanding and gentle, and when Cheng Xuan and the master come back from Hunan, they can go to meet them." ”

"I hope that the boy will be obedient and agree to meet someone," the old lady sighed, still looking worried, "I'm afraid that he will still find an excuse to shirk the past as before." ”

"Mother, don't worry, the daughters-in-law will persuade him well," the third lady Lu Yunzhuang comforted with a light smile, "These two girls have given birth to children, and the four girls will get married in more than half a year, and he, as a brother, can't be delayed any longer." ”

"Yes, grandmother, there are Erniang, Sanniang, Siniang and Niang, you can rest easy." Ye Xiyao, who had been walking behind, also took two steps forward and followed.

The old lady looked around at the two people walking beside her, did not speak again, nodded slightly, and quickened her pace Under the guidance of the Xu family servant who led the way for them, she walked along the bluestone wide road with endless shadows.

Jiang Shu and Ye Chiwan followed side by side, she casually listened to the conversation of the people in front of her, and turned her head to look at Ye Chiwan beside her with some curiosity: "Do you know, who is the person who was called the eldest young master just now?" ”

At first, the old lady called him the eldest young master, and she thought it was their so-called second brother-in-law Xu Shaoting, but later heard him call the child who was going to pass the full moon today "nephew", and quickly denied her conjecture.

"It seems that it must be the eldest brother of the second brother-in-law, the eldest young master of the Xu family, Xu Shaofu." Ye Chiwan tilted his head and thought about it, guessing.

"The second brother-in-law has a big brother?" Jiang Shu was a little surprised.

In the past, she had only heard Ping Qian mention that Xu Shaoting, the young master of the Xu family, was a sick man who had been sick for a long time, and her nominal second sister Ye Tanyan was forced by the holy decree to marry Chongxi.

can make the family members move to ask for the holy decree, she still thinks that Xu Shaoting is the only seedling of the Xu family.

"Yes, he is the half-brother of the second brother-in-law," Ye Chiwan pulled the corners of his mouth lightly and said, "It's just that he is from the concubine's room, and he is the identity of the concubine." ”

"Oh, I see." Jiang Shu nodded thoughtfully.

Inadvertently looked up, and saw that they had been shaken down by several elders and Ye Xi who were walking in front of him for some distance, and hurriedly reached out to take her hand: "Sixth sister, let's go faster, don't be unable to keep up." ”

"No," Ye Chi's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed her with his backhand, "Fourth sister, we won't follow, I'll take you around this Xu Mansion." ”

"That's not good." Looking at the backs of the people in front of him who were getting farther and farther away, a look of embarrassment appeared on Jiang Shu's face.

"What's so bad," Ye Chiwan smiled nonchalantly, raised his hand and pointed around, "Look at this Xu Mansion, the gardens, rockeries, pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, flowers and trees, this is the place where the richest people in the entire capital live, if you don't take a walk, wouldn't it be a pity." ”

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but speak, took Jiang Shu's hand, walked to the fork in front and turned around.

However, just after walking forward, I saw that behind the green bamboo swaying in the wind on the opposite wall, Zhu Xuanrao wore a light purple collar and waist short jacket, and a dark blue pleated long skirt, walking towards this side with the maid Gui'er.
