The beauty of the lady

Chapter 72: Housewarming (3)
But she didn't complain, it's not that her mother-in-law is not good, it's just that her mother-in-law doesn't like her. At least she is very good to Mrs. Liu, the concubine, because Mrs. Liu can talk, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is even better at embroidery. She also likes her daughter. Although she serves a man together, Mrs. Liu is a really good person, well-behaved, and never oversteps the rules. With a tough attitude, Mrs. Liu is the young lady.

"I'll bother my sister today." She smiled.

"I didn't bother you, but if you think so, Second Senior Brother should laugh at me." Serving her some tea, he said, "Sister-in-law, just relax, as long as you are at your own home."

Before Mrs. Wu could speak, the outside steward came in.

"Miss, the carriage from the Marquis of Changle has arrived."

"Understood, I'll go out now." Zhou Mei turned around and replied.

"No need, when you came out to greet him, your nephew would have been burnt into briquettes." Yun Zhongren walked in with his son in his arms, followed by his wife Du Shi.

"Brother, you are late." Yin Yanqing stood up, stepped forward to take Yun Cong from his arms, and rubbed his head, "Boy, do you miss your Uncle Qing?"

Yun Cong's little head was shaking from being rubbed, he raised his hand to push Yin Yanqing's big palm away, and said with a smile: "Think, Uncle Qing taught Cong'er how to box?"

"I'm here as a guest today. If you want to learn boxing, come to my uncle's mansion and my uncle will teach you."

"Oh!" Yun Cong was a little disappointed that he didn't get what he wanted, but soon the frustration disappeared. After greeting the people present, he was taken away by Zhou Tang to go shopping in the garden.

After everyone greeted each other a few words, Yun Zhongren and Yin Yanqing went to the living room to talk to Wednesday Zhuang. Although Wednesday Zhuang was worried, Yun Zhongren was a very powerful person, and he talked with Wednesday Zhuang about the harvest of the fields and business matters. , A few words let Zhou Zhuang throw away the embarrassment, and talked freely, Yin Yanqing was dumbfounded, and secretly praised that he really deserves to be a big brother.

As for the two sister-in-laws, they continued to stay in the side hall, and after Mrs. Zhao got dressed, they sat down and talked with her.

Through a simple conversation, Du Xueying was surprised to find that this Mrs. Zhou was definitely not an ordinary person, not to mention that her words were decent, and her manners were not something ordinary people could bring up. Later, she heard that she was also from the capital, so she understood. confused.

"Ma'am, miss, there are guests outside." The butler Qian Hong came in.

"Guests?" Mrs. Zhao looked at her daughter, "Didn't we only invite these two families today?"

"That's right." Zhou Mei nodded, "Boss Qian, who is it?"

"That man said he was the eldest son of An Guogong's mansion." Guanshi Qian also felt a little ringing in his ears. His master's family is really powerful. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary merchant. Who would have thought that he not only knew Changle Hou's mansion and Zhen Guo general? Mansion, now even the Duke's Mansion came to congratulate the housewarming, which is too much face.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Du looked at each other, looking at Mrs. Zhou's face, they seemed a little shocked, did they come to Anguo Gong's mansion by accident or did they come?
"Mother..." Zhou Mei is not sure if she wants to see the people over there now, but it's not easy to drive them away in front of these two families, let alone not being able to afford it, even if she can, she can't do that kind of thing. thing.

"Ma'am, don't worry about us for now. Sister Wu and I happened to be at your place for a drink and a snack. Go and have a look."

Seeing what the two said, Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to stand up and go outside with Zhou Mei.

"Sister Du, I always feel that Mrs. Zhou is really not like the wife of a businessman. Judging by her overall demeanor, she is no worse than the wife of an official family." I also feel that Mrs. Zhou is very unusual in both manner and conversation.

Du covered her lips and smiled lightly, "I also agree with Sister Wu's words."

In front of the gate of the Zhou mansion, after Zhou Mei approached, she saw a man in a purple brocade robe standing in front of the mansion, and a flash of admiration flashed in her eyes.

The man was tall, half a head taller than Zhou Zhuang, with a handsome figure and a healthy wheat-colored complexion. His long black hair was scattered behind his head, and the top of his head was held by a white jade crown, which complemented his facial features. Cleaner and clearer, the waist is wrapped by a dark purple unicorn belt, and a white jade pendant hangs down on the side of the waist, and the upper floor is engraved with cumbersome patterns, which is expensive in terms of texture.

"My nephew has met my aunt. Is my aunt well all these years?" Xuan Shaoling clasped his fists in salute, and the two servants who followed him hurriedly knelt down to salute.

Mrs. Zhao stepped forward to help him up, her beautiful eyes were slightly red, "Get up, why are you here today? Auntie is still thinking about going to the Duke's Mansion to see you after the family is settled."

"It's best for my aunt to go there. Grandma doesn't say anything, but she often misses you in her heart. If she knows that her aunt is still alive, grandma will be very happy. I haven't told my grandmother all these years because I'm afraid that she won't be able to resist going back to find you." Xuan Shaoling supported her arm, and said with a smile: "It's all right now, my aunt is finally back, and my uncle is very happy to know."

"What's wrong with my elder brother?" Haven't seen you in 16 years?I don't know how he is doing now.

"Mother, let's go in first, it's sunny outside, don't get sunburned." Zhou Mei interrupted Xuan Shaoling's words.

Only then did Zhao come back to his senses, nodded hurriedly, pulled Xuan Shaoling towards the front hall, "Yes yes yes, look at me, Shao Ling, let's go in first."

"Okay!" Xuan Shaoling helped Zhao Shi to walk in, and from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Zhou Mei who was walking behind with a half-smile.

She may know something, after all, there is a new nobleman beside him, the eldest son of the Marquis of Changle. Although the Ministry of Rites is the Qingshui Yamen, it still does not hinder Prince Chun's trust and promotion of him.

Walking into the hall, the three present were stunned when they saw Xuan Shaoling.

"I didn't expect this to be the eldest son of Duke An's mansion!" Yun Zhongren said with a smile, "But he came to congratulate Mr. Zhou on his housewarming?"

"Exactly, Brother Yun, Brother Yin, you came so early." Xuan Shaoling stepped forward and sat down at Yun Zhongren's position with fists clasped.

"Master Zhou, please be careful, please accept it." He sent two brocade boxes, one of which was the top four treasures of the study, which was naturally given to Zhou Tang, and the other was a set of gold-encrusted and jade-encrusted heads.

When looking for someone to see that set of masks, his expression immediately became agitated.

"Shaoling, this is..."

Xuan Shaoling put it in Zhao's hands, and said softly: "Auntie, take it first. Grandma asked my nephew to bring it. Later, my nephew has something to discuss with my aunt in private."

"Well, let's talk here first. There are two ladies inside, so I'll go there first."

"Okay, aunt is free, and my nephew happens to be visiting this mansion."

Hearing that Xuan Shaoling wanted to see the Zhou family's house, Zhou Zhouzhuang stood up and said that he would take them around the mansion, and the four of them went out with the servant.
