Chapter 16: Old Rules

"The girl is no longer the daughter of the Xie family, and the princess is also looking at the face of the first thing, so she did not hold the girl responsible, if the girl is still sensible, she should know each other and leave." Su Zi smiled, did not salute, and followed his wife into the mansion.

"You guys!" Xie Shu'er's body trembled, and she was faintly crying.

She couldn't believe that she just wanted to marry Pei Lang as his wife, why did she end up in such a field?

"Shu'er, grandmother still cares about you when she sees your mother, but now she's just angry." Yang patted her on the back, his face was kind, and he persuaded in a soft voice, "Wait a few days, your mother will be relieved, and she will naturally be able to welcome us back home." ”

"It's just ......" Yang looked hesitant, looking like he couldn't speak.

"Grandmother, you always have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Xie Shu'er grabbed her hand and teary-eyed, "Shu'er only has grandmother and Pei Lang now, you are my dearest person!" ”

Yang smiled, two black eyeballs rolled around, and whispered, "Grandmother, your sister is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you should find a chance to cook her!" ”

Xie Wanzhou's appearance came to mind, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on Xie Shu'er's face, and she lowered her voice, "Grandmother, don't worry, a humble girl, I won't tell her to be arrogant anymore!" ”

"Shu'er...... But is there a way? Yang approached Xie Shu'er and asked in a low voice.

Xie Shu'er snorted coldly, her eyebrows and eyes were full of anger, "For so many years, she has been my subordinate defeat, and now she is just a villain, and she has won the favor of her mother for a few days, and she wants to fly on the branch and become a phoenix, and want to drag her down, but it is just a matter of my fingers!" ”

"Or our Shu'er has the ability." Yang smiled and complimented.

Xie Shu'er pursed her mouth, hugged Yang's arm coquettishly, and urged in a coquettish voice, "Grandmother, let's go buy two golden silk feather quilts, Pei Lang's futon is so thin and hard that I didn't sleep well yesterday." ”

"This ......" A trace of embarrassment appeared on Yang's face, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, "Shu'er, it's not that grandmother doesn't want to respond to you, but our family ......"

"The words were mentioned by Shu'er, how can you let your grandmother spend money?" Xie Shu'er smiled brightly and shook Yang's arm.

After the words fell, she took off the golden hairpin on her bun, handed it to Yang, and giggled, "Let's take this hairpin as a pawn, exchange it for some silver money, and change it for a gold silk feather quilt for my grandfather and grandmother!" ”

"Shu'er...... Wouldn't it be too expensive? Yang held the golden hairpin, and it was difficult to hide the joy in his eyes, but he insisted on pretending to be distressed, "After all, your mother hasn't lost her breath yet......"

"Grandmother, don't worry, I have this thing! Besides, my eldest brother has several grain and oil shops under his name, and if I have no backhand and am coquettish with my eldest brother, he will also buy it for me. Xie Shu'er pulled the Yang family forward and said confidently, "With my eldest brother here, our Pei family doesn't need to spend money to buy grain and oil in the future!" ”

"Hey, that's a good idea!" Yang squinted his eyes with a smile, and slapped his thigh excitedly, "Our Shu'er is filial, and my grandmother hasn't covered a gold silk quilt at such an old age!" ”

The two ancestors and grandsons stood side by side, talking and laughing and leaving the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion.

In the hall, Fang Lan sat on the top seat, smiling with his eyebrows and eyes, and looked at the two children in front of him curiously.

Xie Li noticed his aunt's gaze, and smiled, and that warm appearance made Fang Lan love it even more.

"Xiao Li, my aunt saw you for the first time, I don't know what you like, I can only bring you some pen, ink, paper and inkstone by feeling."

Fang Lan waved his hand, and the little round face behind him consciously took out the red box, and handed it to Xie Li with a smile, "Second son, this is the princess who personally picked it for you, you take it." ”

With a warm smile on his face, Xie Li raised his hand to take it, and thanked him softly, "Fortunately, my aunt is worried about me and can't visit often, and my nephew feels guilty." ”

"Don't care." Fang Lan smiled and waved his hand, glanced at his sister on the side, and saw that she was also looking at herself, her heart warmed slightly, "I didn't move around often before, but the blood relationship continues, and we have always been a family." ”

"And Wanzhou, my aunt came today and brought you some ornaments and fabrics, take a look, do you still like it?"

Fang Lan's words fell, and the little round face ran to Xie Wanzhou non-stop, unfolding the cloth bag and placing it in front of her.

Xie Wanzhou looked at the things on the table, his eyebrows jumped, and even Fang Xu who was sitting in the seat widened his eyes.

There are silver hairpins and jade bracelets scattered on the table, and the fabric is full of patterns woven with gold threads, and the material is brocade, which looks extremely soft and smooth, and is extremely luxurious.

"Auntie... Won't this ...... Something is wrong? Xie Wanzhou looked at the pile of cloth objects, her face couldn't hide her surprise, and her heartbeat accelerated a lot.

"What's wrong?" Fang Lan didn't think there was any problem, and said slowly, "Your uncle has made meritorious achievements, and the one above has rewarded a lot, and after a few days of banquets in the palace, my aunt will ask for Hu Luodai for you." ”

When the words fell, Fang Lan glanced at Fang Xu with disgust, and said softly, "Your daughter wants to be pampered, your mother doesn't care about this, and your aunt thinks about it for you." ”

Fang Xu couldn't say it, it wasn't that she didn't want to give her daughter these, but she really couldn't afford to send them!

The original doted on his daughter, and almost sent half of his net worth to Xie Shu'er to make hairpin bracelets, plus those black-hearted shopkeepers should be inside and out, such a big Hou Mansion is about to be hollowed out!

Fang Xu lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on Xie Li, who bowed his head and was silent, he pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "Sister, what kind of teacher do you know in Beijing?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Fang Xu Yuguang swept Xie Li and froze.

"Mr. Teaching......" Fang Lan paused, thought for a moment, and nodded in response, "I know, but what kind of Mr. Teaching are you looking for?" ”

"Xie Li is fifteen this year, and he has also reached his age, and now this gentleman's ability is mediocre, I want to find a suitable gentleman for him, so that he can plan for his future career." Fang Xu took a sip of mung bean soup and said softly.

Not far away, the young man's straight back froze again, and his eyes widened unconsciously, looking at his mother, who had not taken much care of him since he was a child.

How could she ......

How can you say such things with such an ordinary attitude and so carelessly!

"Career?" Fang Lan glanced at her suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Haven't you Yongcheng Marquis Mansion always adhered to the tradition of one clan and one family?" ”

Over the years, although the two sisters have never spoken, she often sends people to inquire into the trivial matters of her sister's family to solve the lovesickness.

In the Hou Mansion, Xie Changqing has already entered the office and become an official, what else is Xie Li?

The old rules of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, how could Xiao Xu not know?

"One family, one family?" Fang Xu paused, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Sensing Fang Lan's hesitation, Fang Xu hid his expression, frowned, and scolded in a low voice, "What bullshit rules!" It's ridiculous! ”

"Sister, you don't have to be taboo about this, just help me find a suitable gentleman." Fang Xu held her hand with a sincere expression, "The eldest son is not useful, Xie Li is very intelligent, he is a good seedling, I can't watch him fall." ”

"Besides...... The people who made the rules are dead, and the rest of the people can't rest on their laurels, so let's not have this rule! ”
