Chapter 3 Grandmother, Stepmother, Second Aunt
  Closer to home,
  While Xu Wenhui chatted with Mrs. Li about trivial matters in the house, they went to Mrs. Xu’s residence, Leshou Hall,
  The main room of the Xu family is the Wuzhong Hall given by the emperor.

Now Xu Wenhui’s father, Xu Yaozu, who inherited the title, lives here.

The ancients believed in respecting the left and respecting the left.

In the entire Xu family, except for the brave man Xu Yaozu, the most noble one is Mrs. Xu, the dowager.

So the Leshou Hall where she lives is on the left side of the Zhongwu Hall.
  Ordinarily, besides Mrs. Xu, the most distinguished person should be Xu Wenhui, the eldest grandson.

It's a pity that Mrs. Xu is still alive, and the Xu family of Xu Wenhui's father's generation has not yet separated.

Xu Wenhui also has a direct second uncle, Xu Yaozong. This second direct uncle, Xu Yaozong, and his family still live in the Hou Mansion.

Therefore, as the elders are respected, Xu Yaozong's family lived in Keji Hall on the right side of Zhongwu Hall.

Xu Wenhui could only live in the Xiu Shen Hall in the northwest corner.
  Fortunately, Xiu Shen Hall was originally the place where Yongyi Hou of past dynasties took care of themselves.
  It covers a large area and has very high specifications. Not only is it well-constructed, it also has a small martial arts arena.
  Behind the most important Xiuxian Hall is the large garden that runs through the entire Hou Mansion. There is also running water from the Bian River in the garden.
  It is actually more comfortable and comfortable to live in than other courtyards. It is even more convenient for Xu Wenhui to do things!

……

Although they are both located to the west of the Hou Mansion,
  But the Hou Mansion is so big that it takes about ten minutes to walk from Xu Wenhui's Xiu Shen Hall to Le Shou Hall.

Xu Wenhui, the young prince, is Mrs. Xu’s favorite. In addition, Mother Li leads the way.

Naturally, there is no need for simultaneous interpretation.

The journey to the main courtyard was smooth,
  Xu Wenhui walked to the door and was about to enter the house.

Then I heard the high-pitched voice of the second aunt Xu Wang and Wang Ruoyun in the room,

"Sister-in-law, you really have to talk to Hui'er this time. What is he going to do? Who didn't know at the beginning that he was the one who disliked our Hou family and took the initiative to cut off contact with us?
  Now Hui'er doesn't even ask us elders, and just comes to give gifts, where can we put the face of the Hou family?
  If this spreads out, their family is just a sixth-grade general judge, and we are still actively fawning over it. The Marquis Mansion must not be laughed at by others! "

The name of the second aunt Wang Ruoyun is very similar to that of Wang Ruofu, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, but there is actually no connection at all.
  Wang Ruofu was born in the residence of Grand Master Wang. Although his personality is equally irritable, he comes from a serious scholarly family and a noble family!

Wang Ruoyun comes from a family of military generals. His ancestor was the deputy general of his ancestor Yongyi Hou. He has always been a disciple of the Xu family and has been friends for generations.
  Although he has never been knighted, he has always been strong under the care of the Xu family and has worked hard in the army for many years.
  In recent years, the power of the Hou Mansion has not been as strong as before, and there are not many officials who can take action.
  On the contrary, the royal family is full of talented people, prospering and showing signs of prosperity.
  So Wang Ruoyun's voice is much louder than before!
  Xu Wenhui became interested when he heard what the good second aunt said. He raised his hand to stop Mother Li's report and stood quietly at the door to listen.

When the two maids at the door saw this, they quickly nodded and lowered their eyes, fearing that they would hear something they shouldn't and be noticed!

Fortunately, Mother Li acted prudently. Although she did not dare to disobey Xu Wenhui's order, she quickly dismissed the two maids with a wink.
  Xu Wenhui didn't pay much attention to this and stood quietly at the door listening to the conversation in the room.
  I heard my stepmother Xu Liangshi Liang Churan say with a hint of grievance:
  "Brother and sister, you are looking down on me when you say that. Who in the family doesn't know Hui'er's character? When did they hear what my stepmother said? Not to mention me, even if the Marquis orders him, he won't necessarily..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Xu. If these words spread, it would not be a good thing.
  "Okay, don't say you don't have these and play the piano randomly.

I have already sent people to find Hui'er. When Hui'er comes back later, just listen to what Hui'er has to say! "

When Xu Wenhui heard his grandmother's kind voice outside the door, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart.
  As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. Xu Wenhui’s mother died early in this life. His biological father Xu Yaozu later married Liang Churan, the legitimate daughter of the Earl of Yongchang.

It can be said that Xu Wenhui grew up beside his grandparents. His grandfather passed away long ago.
  Now only this grandmother treats herself sincerely!
  Anyway, grandma had already interrupted, and Liang Churan and Wang Ruoyun probably couldn't say anything.

Xu Wenhui shouted "Grandma" loudly, raised the curtain and walked in!

"Grandma, my grandson is back!"

……

Although Mrs. Xu is a person of the grandmother's generation, she is actually only in her fifties and not yet sixty years old.

In today's society, if I dress up a little and beautify my face, I might still be called an old aunt.

But in the Zhou Dynasty, she was already a serious old lady and a person of the grandmother generation.
  However, Mrs. Xu has been rich all her life and has taken good care of herself. There are only a few silver strands in her hair.

She is slightly chubby and has quite shiny skin. She wears a brown stone-colored jacket and looks like a wealthy and auspicious lady.

Mrs. Xu was a little impatient listening to Liang Churan and Wang Ruoyun's chatter. When she saw Xu Wenhui coming in, she immediately turned from anger to joy and happily sat up from her knees.
  He stretched out his hand towards Xu Wenhui and said with a smile:
  “Ouch, my sweet grandson is back!
  Come quickly and let grandma take a look. It's such a cold day. The snow outside hasn't melted yet. Where have you gone? Grandma has been looking for you for a long time!

Ouch, is it cold? Ouch! "

"grandmother!"

Xu Wenhui first bowed to the old lady above him.
  Then they saluted Liang Churan and Wang Ruoyun who were on the left and right respectively!

"Hello, eldest lady, hello, second aunt!"

After the ceremony, Xu Wenhui walked to his superior, Mrs. Xu.
  Compared with the old lady, stepmother Liang Churan and second aunt Wang Ruoyun are at the peak of Fengyun.

They are not yet thirty years old,

Although Liang Churan is the eldest sister-in-law, because she is a step-in-law, she is actually one year younger than Wang Ruoyun.
  Yongchang's ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River, so Liang Churan has the gentle temperament of a woman from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. She has fair skin, a short stature, and is slightly thin. She looks soft and frail, with a bit of tea flavor. Although she is the step-brother, she is deeply loved by the Yongyi Hou Xu Yaozu. of favor,

Wang Ruoyun is different. She is a typical northern woman and a family member of a military general. She may have practiced martial arts in her early years. She is very tall, with a big frame and broad shoulders. Although her appearance can be considered quite charming, she is not as good as her second uncle. Xu Yaozong's favor, but Wang Ruoyun has two legitimate sons by his side, and her natal family is now glorious, so life is going smoothly!

When Liang Churan heard that Xu Wenhui only called her eldest lady and not mother, the smile on her face could not be maintained. She forced a smile and said:
  "Hui'er is back!"
