Chapter 16: Turbulent Surges
The little fox didn't bother to bother with his subordinates, and his eyes fell on the lady. This noble lady looks gentle and magnificent, and on her seemingly kind face, a pair of phoenix eyes inadvertently crosses a trace of indifference.
Jasmine tugged at the corner of her clothes and whispered: "Leave the girl, this is the biological mother of the young master of my family, the wife of the Xia family, the girl must not miss the courtesy." ”
Xiaohu'er frowned slightly, this noble lady turned out to be Xia Qinghou's mother! Not to mention, the eyebrows and eyes are very similar; in this way, I really have to go and thank you. She pressed down the unhappiness in her heart, and leaned in and said, "Ah Li has seen Mrs. Xia." ”
Mrs. Xia chuckled, raised her hand and said, "You are the one who often talks about Miss Ah Li, right? Hurry up! They are all their own people, there is no need to be so polite in the future, the people are not sensible, Miss Ah Li is not as knowledgeable as her!"
The little fox smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said secretly in her heart, our thousand-year-old fox has already become a fine, and if you play such a trick with me, can I really be so calculating? If there is no hint from you, the head of the house, how dare she be so presumptuous with her subordinate!
But what I think in my heart, I naturally can't talk about it, how to say it, she is also the mother of that guy, and she still has to give this face, so she doesn't care about your woman.
The little fox leaned slightly to the side, and said with a bow: "Madame is polite! It's windy outside, please sit inside." ”
Mrs. Xia nodded, walked into the side hall, and sat straight on the main seat. Several subordinates stood behind them in turn, looking at the posture, very domineering.
The little fox's eyes flashed away, and she didn't care whether this Mrs. Xia was not good or not, she sat down on her subordinate seat, and ordered Jasmine to read the tea and wait for the next step of Mrs. Xia.
No one spoke in the side hall for a while, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing. Seeing that she didn't speak, Mrs. Xia chuckled and spoke first: "Ah Li, girl, in this Xia Mansion, are you still used to living?"
"Mrs. Lao is worried, Ah Li is all right. ”
The little fox was naturally intuitive, and she saw all the changes on Mrs. Xia's face.
"It's good to live in a good habit, and I blame that there are too many chores in this house, and I can't entertain the girl well. Mrs. Xia said politely, that look was very sincere.
But the occasional trace of contempt in her eyes betrayed her completely.
The little fox smiled and said, "Madam, you are too polite, how dare Ah Li bother Madame?"
Mrs. Xia put down the cup, leaned forward slightly, and carefully looked at the woman in front of her.
This Ah Li is not very old, although his appearance is outstanding, but it is not the face of the world, why does Hou Er like it, such a woman of unknown origin?
No wonder Xia Zhiyuan dislikes her very much and wants to solve her secretly. Such a homeless and powerful person is really not qualified to enter the gate of my Xia family.
However, I really have to help this girl, who made her the person on the tip of Hou Er's heart?
My son is the only one I rely on in the future, but the angry thing is that the old man took him away from a young age and didn't let me raise my own son.
What do you say about the ancestral rules, I think he just doesn't want the child to be close to me.
You want to deal with this girl? I really can't let you get what you want. This is the woman my son has a crush on, I'm a mother, how can I say that I should protect it?
"If Miss Ah Li has any needs, just tell me, you are the person who Hou'er arranged to enter the mansion, and you are not an outsider. Mrs. Xia sat up straight and said thoughtfully with a smile.
Mrs. Ah Lixie took care of it. The little fox said politely.
Mrs. Xia picked up the teacup, took a sip, swept her eyes to the little fox, and suddenly smiled: "This Xia Mansion has a large population, and it is inevitable that something bad will happen; ”
"After all, in this house, Hou'er is my dearest person, but in the future, there will be more girls like you!"
Mrs. Xia's phoenix eyes crossed a trace of ridicule, if it weren't for her son, she really didn't bother to say these words to the same hairy girl.
"You just have to remember that in this mansion, except for me and Hou'er, you don't believe anyone else. Don't believe even if it's a master!"
Little Fox looked at Mrs. Xia with some astonishment, she never thought that this woman would say such a thing.
Mrs. Xia was very satisfied with her reaction. It's just a little girl, isn't it up to you to hold it in your hands?
Mrs. Xia raised her eyebrows lightly, and her fingertips tapped the armchair from time to time, and after a while, she continued: "I know that the girl is from the countryside, and she doesn't understand the etiquette of the family. ”
The little fox was a little confused, what did it mean to enter the Xia Mansion, you have to obey the rules? Could it be that the Great Zhou State said this? Guests must abide by the rules of the main family?
She suddenly regretted coming to the Xia family, she knew that there was such a custom, and it was better to go alone.
Mrs. Xia saw that the little fox was still not salty, and her face was a little unhappy: "In order to avoid being truthful, Lin Lang, in the future, you will teach Miss Ah Li etiquette." ”
The old woman beside her hurriedly curtsied and said, "Yes, Madame, rest assured, the old slave will definitely teach Miss Ah Li well." ”
Mrs. Xia nodded her arrogant chin and continued: "Jasmine and Hongni are too young, I'm afraid they won't be able to help the girl; ”
I scolded the little fox just now, the maid named Xia Chun, bowed down on her knees, and responded "yes" repeatedly, seeing her respectful attitude, but there was obviously a trace of provocation in the eyes that looked at the little fox.
Little Fox frowned and wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Naxia continued: "Ah Li girl, Hou'er has been in retreat recently, so I can't come to visit you. As a woman, you should abide by your duty, and you must learn from Lin Lang well in the future, and you must not slack off!" Only the three little foxes were left, standing on the spot.
"Jasmine, do you know what Mrs. Xia means?" asked the little fox with a depressed face.
Jasmine and Red Clay glanced at each other, shook their heads, and said, "Madame has never asked about our hospital before......; I'm afraid I won't know until the young master returns. But the girls don't have to worry too much, there is a young master, they don't dare to embarrass the girl. ”
This Jasmine is loyal to Xia Qinghou, and Mrs. Xia's attitude is strange and ambiguous. They even dared to respect her as much as before, it seemed that the two people who Xia Qinghou arranged to take care of her were quite reliable.
After a while, Lin Lang and Xia Chun had already returned again. After the two walked in front of the little fox and saluted, Lin Lang spoke: "Ah Li girl, Mrs. ordered me to teach the girl, and the old slave did not dare to slack off; Ask the girl to go with the old slave to the outer garden. ”
The little fox looked at Lin Lang's zombie face, and was very disgusted in her heart, since this is already the case, let them make trouble, and see what tricks they can play.
Lin Lang saw the little fox nodding, his face softened a little, and said, "Please go first." ”
The little fox snorted faintly and strode forward. "Smack!" Lin Lang took out an extra whip in his hand at some point, and slapped it fiercely on the little fox's leg. This force is really well controlled, it is painful and does not hurt the flesh and skin.
Lin Lang's sharp words also rang out: "Ah Li, the old slave is entrusted by his wife, so he naturally has to fulfill his duties. As a woman from a family, you must not be impetuous, and you must pay attention to your manners when walking, living, sitting and lying. ”
"Xia Chun, you go and bring a basin of boiling water. ”
Xia Chun answered with some excitement and went out, and after a while, he came in with a large basin of boiling water.
Lin Lang instructed Jasmine to take a piece of linen cloth again, and then folded the cloth into several folds and handed it to Xia Chun, and glanced at it again.
Xia Chun understood, put the sackcloth on top of the little fox's head, and called Jasmine to come over and ask her to help, and put boiling water on top of the fox's head.
