The fifth girl can see it clearly, and the reverse bone of the banquet bell is pulled out and weighed, which is actually heavier than hers. She likes banquet bells so much. When she saw Wu Li again, she was already very calm. There is no resentment and complaining, but there is no much closeness either.

She sat gently on the side, listening to her parents' generation. Mrs. Wu has always liked her, and took her hand and said, "I want you to come to my house quickly, I really ...... The thought of having you at home makes my heart much more secure. ”

Although the Wu family is a family and is also famous in Kyoto City, it has less grace and power than the Ning Guo Mansion, so in the Ning family, she never holds it. What's more, she is still living a very depressed life.

It is true that the old lady dotes on her younger son and makes her discord with her younger siblings, and she is intrigued all day long, but her own concubines and concubines are not worry-free, and they are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Mrs. Wu gave birth to only one son.

She thinks that no one in her family is of the same mind as her. She really likes the fifth girl, and when she saw her, she couldn't help but take off the bracelet in her hand and give it to her, "Ah Li was not here for the first three years, and you didn't want to go to my house, but now that he is back, you have to come often." ”

"You're here, our mother and daughter can be regarded as a companion."

The fifth girl held her hands, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll accompany you more." ”

The whole family is harmonious. Wu Li returned to Wu's house and said: "Mother, I went to see Xixi alone, she was very cold to me, I thought she blamed me for not returning for many years, today I saw that she is so good with you, like a mother and daughter, I am relieved." ”

Mrs. Wu took a sip of him, "My daughter's family is different from your man, she is a real girl from a family, she doesn't go out of the door, and she naturally only thinks about you, but you have been running for three years, let alone her, even if I saw you the day before yesterday, I was unfamiliar." ”

"Don't blame her for resenting you, she also loves you, that's why she complains. Although it is said that it is normal for men to go out to earn a living, women have been thinking about it in the house for three years, needless to say, it is uncomfortable for everyone. You, be kind to her, and now that you're back, spend more time with her. ”

Wu Li was relieved after listening to Mrs. Wu's words, and said happily: "Thank you mother for your advice, as long as Xixi doesn't change her mind." ”

Mrs. Wu: "I'll watch it for you in Kyoto, but she hasn't even seen a foreign man." ”

And she is extremely promising, which lady doesn't envy her for having such a good daughter-in-law?

She whispered: "Your fifth brother is also talking about kissing, your aunt is holding her breath and looking for it, she wants to find someone better than Xixi, heh, she wants to be beautiful!" ”

Wu Li laughed, "Mother, they are all members of the family, so you don't have to worry about it so much." ”

Mrs. Wu felt that her son was not as intimate as Xixi, and muttered, "What do you know! Last time I went to the Zhao family's flower appreciation banquet, I was talking to Xi Xi, when I saw her twisting her waist and saying to Xi Xi: Five girls, you don't come, your mother-in-law's jade hairpin has nowhere to go. ”

The jade hairpin was Mrs. Wu's dowry, but the old lady took a fancy to it and wanted to go. Mrs. Wu didn't want to give it, so she lied and said that she had already told the fifth girl that the hairpin was for her.

The old lady was very unhappy, but she also took care of her reputation, so the matter was settled.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wu hated itchy, "The Wu family is also a scholarly family, why does she look like a little family!" ”

Wu Li is a grandson, so it is difficult to say that it is the fault of his grandmother, so he had to comfort him and ask, "Then what does Xixi say?" ”

Mrs. Wu laughed happily, "Xixi said: Auntie's maiden family is the well-known Wu family in Yuezhou, and the things brought from her mother's family are not only worth geometrically, but only the age and provenance, which are treasures worth cherishing." My mother used to tell me to be smarter, sweeter, and more likable, so that I could get more benefits from my aunt. ”

"Although I have a stupid mouth, my aunt pities and loves me, and I really get a lot of secretly, and there are a few jade hairpins, but I don't know which one my uncle is talking about?"

Mrs. Wu was very proud when she said this, "I just like Xixi's mouth!" ”

Wu Li was also happy to hear it, and liked Xixi even more, "My son will also be good to her." ”

Mrs. Wu: "This is not over yet, your uncle and mother are deflated, where will she be spared, so she smiled and said: Since there are so many jade hairpins, it is not impossible to give one to your mother." ”

He also said that his mother's nurturing feelings were very unpleasant to hear. Xixi still wanted to be angry for me, but your uncle and mother are a shabby, skinless and faceless, and it is the Zhao family's banquet, what should I do if I quarrel? I stopped her. ”

As a result, Xixi, the girl, knew that I was not happy, so she asked her father to hand over a box of jade hairpins after the next court, and said: Brother Yu, I heard that the old lady of your mansion likes jade hairpins very much, but your wife's hairpins were given to Xixi, and my wife was very uneasy when she learned about it, so she asked me to send these hairpins, and I hope that the old lady Haihan ...... At the next banquet, don't talk about it in public, if you don't know, you still think that our two families are four walls. ”

Wu Li couldn't help laughing, "Father's face was not good at that time, right?" ”

Mrs. Wu nodded, "When I came home, I asked me what was going on, and I said: My mother took a fancy to my dowry hairpin, so I told it to Xixi, this matter has already passed, but my younger siblings have to talk about it at the banquet, so Xixi has no face." It is estimated that Duchess Ning Guo also knew, afraid that our family would think that she coveted my things, and she was angry, so she asked Ning Guogong to send a hairpin. ”

"Your father heard this, and personally went to tell Uncle Bi about it, hmph, they didn't have any trouble."

When Wu Li heard this, he sighed: "I didn't expect that my grandmother and uncle would be so arrogant when I wasn't in Kyoto. ”

Mrs. Wu shed tears, "My son, you don't know, if you are not there, they will bully me and have no one to support me." ”

"Your father has a concubine room on the left and a concubine room, a concubine on the left and a concubine on the right, and I am anxious."

As soon as Wu Li heard about the concubine's room, he said, "Mother, I also have something for you to help me do." ”

Mrs. Wu wiped her tears, "You say." ”

Wu Li: "Xing'er has served me since she was a child, and I have used her as a girl in the room two years ago, but when I returned to Kyoto, I am about to get married again, for the sake of Xixi, this girl can't stay." You can find her a good family to marry, and I won't have an aunt until I get married. ”

Mrs. Wu was a little reluctant, "Xing'er was personally selected by me for you, what a good girl, she has a gentle temperament, she has no bad intentions, her ambition is mediocre, she is a good candidate to be an aunt, and she is also literate and arithmetic, and she can also help Xixi in the future." ”

Wu Li frowned, "But I look at the Xixi family, the three brothers don't have an aunt, and even if there is a girl in the room, they don't raise it to be an aunt." ”

"Xixi helps you and treats me well, I can't let her suffer, I have thought about it, before she gives birth to a child, there will be no aunt."

Mrs. Wu thought for a while and said: "But Xing'er is duty, she doesn't care about her reputation, the girl is a girl, she doesn't have to be an aunt, and it is also her blessing to be a roommate." ”

"You leave her first, and you don't need to accept other girls, wait until you get married, ask Xixi."

Wu Li: "Then listen to my mother." ”

Mrs. Wu rejoiced again: "I am really happy Xixi, waiting for her to be my daughter-in-law." ”

Wu Li returned to the room, Xing'er came to serve, Wu Li said: "I wanted my mother to send you to marry, but my mother said to keep you for the time being, and she will decide when Miss Ning marries...... What do you think of it yourself? ”

Xing'er knelt down and said, "The slave is a house slave, and it is already a blessing to be able to serve the master, so I don't dare to think about anything else." But if the master is willing...... The slave also wanted to redeem herself and go back to her hometown. ”

The implication is that she is unwilling to remarry, nor does she want to stay in the house, and wants to return home.

Wu Li had nothing to do, nodded and said, "Then you wait a little longer, and wait for the main mother to fall next year." ”

Xing'er breathed a sigh of relief and showed a well-behaved smile: "Yes." ”
