Chapter 54
The master and servant slept until the afternoon before waking up one after another. Although they were still sleepy, they didn't dare to sleep too much. Xue Shu simply took Qingyu to the main courtyard to receive the reward.

At this moment, the main courtyard is busy, and Aunt Wu brought Xue Yao over suddenly for some reason, and she is sitting in the courtyard drinking tea at the moment.

Seeing Xue Shu coming in, Aunt Wu smiled like a flower, and even got up to hold Xue Shu's hand, although she was dodged lightly, but Aunt Wu didn't see any displeasure on her face.

"Yaoer can get a place to listen to Yuge, thanks to the big girl for giving up her love!" Aunt Wu sat down with Xue Shu, turned to look at Xue Yao, and said with a smile, "Yaoer, don't let the big sister see you yet." A gift, thank you big sister for fulfilling it?"

Xue Yao bit her lower lip. Although she didn't want to, she got up obediently and bowed slightly to Xue Shu: "Thank you, big sister, for your success."

Although there was a smile on the corner of Xue Shu's mouth, her eyes were indifferent. She gave a soft "um" and turned to look at Xue Lu: "Mother looks not in a good spirit today, but she is not feeling well? How about please The government doctor came to take a look?"

Just ignore Aunt Wu's mother and daughter.

Xue Lu shook his head with a smile, and said, "I'm fine. It's rare that the sun is so good right now. Sunbathing is better than taking any medicine."

She was only woken up last night, and she couldn't fall asleep again after she came back. She didn't feel sleepy until it was dark, how could she be in good spirits.

"What mother said is true." Xue Shu also smiled.

Seeing that the two mother and daughter ignored her completely, Aunt Wu at the side coughed, took out a few receipts from her sleeve, got up and walked to Xue Lushi, bowed slightly, and said, "I heard that the Jade Pavilion is finally finished, This is a bill, I have brought it with me, the mistress has a look?"

It has to be said that after being favored by Xue Yue for so many years, Aunt Wu still has some skills.

She is obviously in good health and has a ruddy complexion, but her every move is like a weak willow supporting the wind, which can easily arouse people's desire to protect.

No wonder Xue Yue doted on her so much, men probably followed suit.

It's a pity that the courtyard is full of female relatives.

Xue Lushi glanced at the bill, but didn't reach out to pick it up.

Aunt Wu laughed dryly, then handed the bill to Mama Zhang, and Mama Zhang handed it to Xue Lushi.

Xue Lu glanced at it casually, then put it on the table: "I've read it, what else do you need?"

Before Xue Shu didn't come, she was still interested in playing with Aunt Wu, but now, she just wants to have a good chat with her daughter.

Aunt Wu is not an idiot, so she naturally understood the meaning of chasing guests in her words, so she smiled, turned her waist back to the seat, and picked up the teacup: "This repairing of the yard is not the work of the concubine alone. , this money... can't I ask the concubine to pay for it myself?"

"Aunt Wu, that's a bad word," Zhang's mother sneered, "Back then, when Madam wanted to repair Miss Yao's yard, all the masons were found, but you drove them away.

The mistress has already done what should be done, isn't it your own business to repair Miss Yao's yard now?But don't drag everything on Madam. "

Aunt Wu's expression froze, and she was about to reprimand, but was interrupted by Xue Shu suddenly: "I remember that Aunt Wu won the favor of my father because of this matter, and my father seemed to give Aunt Wu a land deed? After so many years, Don’t know how much the harvest will be?”

"It was rewarded to me by the lord. Even if there is any harvest, it will belong to me alone. What do you mean by this girl?" Aunt Wu's tone was cold, and there was no trace of tenderness anymore.

Maybe it's because they've been together with Xue Yue for a long time, or maybe it's because Aunt Wu is such a person in the first place. In short, because of the interests involved, the two of them can change faces faster than turning the pages of books.

"Why are you so excited?" Xue Shu sneered, "Back then, Aunt Wu won a good name in front of her father and obtained a land deed. Now Aunt Wu has a yard, and she has taken advantage of it. She doesn't want to pay money...Where in the world? Is there such a cheap thing?"

It doesn't take much money to repair a yard.

Based on Xue Shu's understanding of her mother, she knew that as long as Aunt Wu said a few more words, Xue Lu would definitely spend money to buy cleansing, but no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat. How can it be reasonable to support other family members with its own money?
"What do you mean, Miss?" Aunt Wu narrowed her eyes.

"Girl, why is this Auntie Wu so stupid that she can't even understand the words?" Qingyu's face was full of confusion, and she didn't deliberately lower her voice when she spoke, so that everyone in the yard could hear them clearly.

Xue Shu looked at Aunt Wu with a smile on her face, and said, "Since that's the case, let me make my words clearer. Auntie wants the money for repairing the yard, yes, but you have to return the land deed."

Aunt Wu wanted both, but Xue Shu refused to let her do what she wanted.

"Seeing off guests." Seeing her daughter's unwillingness to give up, Xue Lu frowned helplessly, took Xue Shu's hand and led her into the house.

Mother Zhang and Qingyu stayed outside, blocking the mother and daughter.

"You! It's just a few taels of silver, what's the big deal?" As soon as she entered the room, Xue Lu nodded Xue Shu's nose, and said in a doting tone, "As for you talking so much with her? Too tired to panic?"

Xue Shu snorted and said, "No matter how little money there is, it belongs to our family. If mother has spare money, why don't you give it to me? Why give it to outsiders?"

Xue Lu shook his head with a smile, and said, "Here you are? The money I gave you is still short? Did you run out of money again?"

She was born in the Hou's Mansion, and she has never been short of silver flowers since she was a child. As her own flesh and blood, Xue Shu has never suffered any grievances when it comes to money.

Most of the girls from other families have a fixed amount of silver every month, at most it is only a hundred taels.

But Xue Shu is different. In addition to the monthly allowance, she also has to add the income from the property that Xue Lushi gave her, which is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, a proper little rich woman.

And if she doesn't have enough money, just open her mouth, at most act like a baby, and Xue Lu will open the gate to release the money, and give as much as she wants.

That's why Xue Lu didn't understand why her daughter insisted on holding on to such a small amount of money today.

"Not at all." Xue Shu sat down with Xue Lu's arm in her arms, "My daughter just doesn't want to be taken advantage of by others. Besides, Aunt Wu is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. How much money has my mother given her for so many years?" It's gone, but isn't she still coming to make trouble for mother if she has nothing to do?"

Hearing this, Xue Lu sighed and said with a smile: "Okay, I will listen to you in the future."

She didn't think that Aunt Wu could stir up any troubles, but since her own girls have spoken, she just won't give it in the future.

After talking about Aunt Wu, Xue Lu started talking to her again: "I heard that Mrs. Qin has already started arranging a blind date for Xiang'er?"

When Xue Shu heard it, the alarm bells rang in her heart: "I didn't hear what Xiang'er said."

Xue Lu said with a smile: "In short, the girl's life is the most important thing. I have already drawn up a list and sent it to the Hou's Mansion to tell them to start screening.

In the coming year, when your brother finishes the exam, he will arrange it for you right away, how about it? "

"Daughter...don't be in a hurry." Xue Shu twitched the corners of her mouth, and decisively pulled Xue Chen into the water, "Isn't my brother still not seeing him? Let's find him first. My daughter wants to spend more time with her mother." !"

Xue Lu shook his head, and said in a serious tone: "This is an important matter for my daughter's family, and it should not be delayed—it's not that you are told to meet each other today and leave the court tomorrow, we have to look at the character of the other party.

Just be obedient, if you really don't want to, it's not impossible to get married a few years later, it's just that the candidate has to be decided first. "

Xue Lushi persuaded her earnestly, but Xue Shu nodded indiscriminately, got up and ran out.

Set yourself on fire.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have come.
