Foster son and husband

Chapter 230 Together
Aunt Zhou personally served hot tea to Meimei in the Yixinyuan of the waiting mansion. Meimei took it with both hands, thanked her with a smile, opened the tea cover, and gently placed the tea cup on the table. Aunt Zhou saw that she was thirsty and was busy. She took the silk fan again and fanned it carefully. Meimei smiled, took the fan and said, "I'll do it myself, my aunt and rest!"

Aunt Zhou still insisted, Xu Junxuan smiled and said: "Auntie just listen to sister-in-law!"

Although they have been redeemed as good concubines, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Lin always remember their status as servants and feel that it is right to serve Xu Junying and Meimei. The elders respect and have no other ideas.

When Xu Junxuan listened to Meimei's narration, he was stunned for a while: "I didn't expect that she...had suffered so much! I saw her so elegant and peaceful, and I thought she was just a poor family."

Meimei nodded: "I had the same impression when I first saw her, but Mrs. Changlehou is not lying. Last year, there was a flood in Pingzhou, Hunan, right? She did escape, and she was once the daughter of a wealthy family. , is nothing now—oh, no! It should be said that she is a business woman. With the help of Mrs. Changle Hou, she opened an embroidery village. Servants live, that's how it is!"

Bai Jingyu was also stunned when Meimei said that the woman the sixth fell in love with was originally an embroidery village owner: "What should I do? Even if there are relatives like Changle Houfu, they are vines and vines that are too far involved. The old lady would not let the merchant girl in no matter what, so could it be possible that the sixth son really listened to the old lady? Married a girl from the Luo family?"

Meimei looked at her: "Aren't the Luo family sisters vines? The old lady likes the Luo family sisters so much? That sister is really daring, and what she does is unreliable, but that sister is well-behaved and has a real temperament. Gentle, do you think she is good? If the outside is the same, that's not bad. In fact, the old lady wants to settle for the Luo family sisters for Lao Liu, just because they will listen to her. And Lao Liu doesn't care about family status, and refuses to marry you by force Daughter, it’s because he loves Mrs. Zhou, and he doesn’t want to let his biological mother suffer a little bit of grievance, because he is afraid that he will marry a famous girl and look down on his mother!”

Bai Jingyu sighed, and said dejectedly: "The old lady...is really different from before. She keeps admonishing us to pay attention to rules and etiquette, but now she is always indulgent and over-behaved, not to mention pampering my aunt and grandma." , This is her own granddaughter. But she also protects the relatives of the Luo family - I took Luo Xiangying to report the matter to her, smashed the veil on her face, and waited for the old lady What do you think of the outcome of dealing with her? The old lady sent me away, and it sounded like she was reprimanded inside. Later, she saw that Luo Xiangying's face was full of tears, and she was dragged back to Champs by her mother. , She didn’t drive them away! The old lady even called me in specially and told me to keep quiet, saying that the girl was too young, and she really liked Lao Liu, so she asked her to marry her sister and do things for Lao Liu. A concubine!"

Meimei looked at her in disbelief: "That's it?"

Bai Jingyu flicked the silk handkerchief in his hand, his face full of resentment and resentment: "Isn't that the way it is? I understand that the girls and relatives of the Zhuang family, good or bad, as long as there is an old lady, they must rely on the men of the Xu family!"

Meimei snorted: "Then we have to see if the men of the Xu family want it!"

Two days later, Meimei took two sets of clothes and went out of the house with Cuixi and Cuisi. Bai Zhan and the guards surrounded her. It was so lively that the whole street was disturbed, so she asked Cuisi to deal with Bai Zhan, and asked them not to go too far and keep a low profile.

About to leave the alley of Houfu, Xu Junxuan came back from the yamen, hurriedly got off his horse, went to the Meimei carriage and bowed to salute, and asked his sister-in-law where she was going through two layers of window screens.
Meimei said: "Qian'er has made an agreement with Jixiang Embroidery Shop, go to see the embroidery, and try to do two embroidery jobs for them by the way!"

Xu Junxuan was silent for a while, and he naturally thought that the embroidered shop that Meimei mentioned must be the shop of Miss Liu. The sister-in-law found out the person he wanted to ask for him, but after he thanked him, there was no movement. Don't mention this matter anymore, and now, sister-in-law is going to see that girl, do you have any ideas?

In fact, he didn't sleep well these two nights. For the first time, he seriously and carefully considered his own marriage. For the first time, I didn't feel anything, and didn't even look at whether the parents were well-off, let alone think about marriage.He is not a wooden man who can only read. On the contrary, when it comes to the active and playful young masters in the capital, there is no one he doesn't know. Who can play?But always keep a sincere heart, a true love, and look forward to the appearance of a beautiful woman one day.Back then when his sister-in-law married and came in, it took him a long time to see the new sister-in-law. He felt like seeing a fairy in his dreams. The mother can't go close to the sister-in-law, because she is a direct descendant, and if she walks with the concubine family, letting the eldest wife know, it will not be good.He saw kindness in the eyes of his sister-in-law, and the natural elegance and elegance on his body was fascinating. What kind of wife he wanted to marry, the scale in his mind was instantly clear.He is a concubine, that's right, it's not something he can choose. He also received strict and good upbringing since he was a child. The seventh child can be more domineering, but he can't. How can there be no arrogance and blood in him?It is okay to be filial and docile to the elders, but it is impossible to obey orders and let people hold back a lifetime of happiness!

Liu Jingyun's demeanor and appearance attracted him, and he could perceive her as a woman with excellent character without verbal communication. This is not comparable to the Luo sisters. They played nearly ten games of chess with Luo Xiangying. According to Yingying's request, he watched Luo Zhaoying's painting on the spot, made pertinent comments, practiced cousin etiquette, discussed things based on facts, and said what to say. ?The old lady has already called for a marriage proposal, but he has not officially notified him yet, but he will not agree, and he has to settle on a girl as soon as possible, so as to stop the old lady from wanting to manipulate his marriage.But with Liu Jingyun's background, she can't even meet half of the requirements of the sister-in-law back then. If she insists on making a decision to fend off the Luo sisters, she might piss off the old lady. That's too much, what should I do?
Meimei couldn't hear Xu Junxuan's reply, and wondered what this scholar uncle was thinking?She was indeed curious about Liu Jingyun. Regardless of whether the sixth child would take a liking to him, she wanted to find out more. After all, this very capable and down-and-out rich lady walked the way she walked before, but obviously Liu Jingyun It's harder than her, so what's the reason?The answer is very simple, because she is married, she has a big tree like Xu Junying to lean on, borrowing his power, even his friends have been dug over, and Liu Jingyun only needs a little help from Mrs. nothing else.

But Liu Jingyun is just as good, she doesn't have to be imprisoned or forced to marry, she is free!

Xu Junxuan finally responded: "Sister-in-law, can you wait for my younger brother? Let my younger brother accompany you?"

Meimei was taken aback for a moment, and Bai Zhan next to him was also a little surprised: Uncle is going to visit the embroidery village with sister-in-law?It seems that I have never heard of it.The name is uncle and sister-in-law. In fact, sister-in-law is younger than uncle. When they walk together, people they know will find it strange to see it, but people they don’t know will see it. What if they misunderstand that they are a couple?
I pray in my heart that the young lady will not agree, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and the bodyguard has to take care of the young lady's reputation, this is what the Lord Hou explained: prevent all irrelevant men from approaching the young lady!During the time when Master Hou was not at home, he was very nervous when the young lady left the house, fearing that he would not be able to control her whereabouts if the young lady became self-willed and domineering.Fortunately, the young lady didn't have any new situation except for the few common masters in daily life. Zhang and Ling are very well-behaved. They always keep a distance from the young lady when they talk together. King Qi doesn't follow the rules and insists on They got very close, but they were just talking, and what can Bai Zhan do to the prince?Could he go forward and say: Please keep your lord away from our wife?
Therefore, every time he saw King Qi, Bai Zhan felt nervous and had a headache, and being with the young lady was several times more tiring than being with Lord Hou.

What happened to the sixth master today?Well, I want to accompany my sister-in-law to the streets. This large group of guards are not just for food, so I won't bother you, Master Liu, and go back to the mansion to rest!

Xu Junxuan asked again: "Sister-in-law? Can I let my younger brother go with my sister-in-law?"

Bai Zhan's mouth opened, and Meimei agreed from the car, directly making his mouth open even wider, unable to close it!
Meimei said, "Sixth Brother Lao, hurry up and change!"

Auspicious Embroidery Village, the size of two shops, is much smaller in momentum and rules than Bai Jingyu's Embroidery Village, but it is very clean and tidy, with a unique style, and the embroidery styles placed inside are also rich and varied, exquisite and exquisite , the embroidery art from the south of the Yangtze River is exquisite and ingenious. It is not only loved by the daughters-in-law of rich and noble families, but also loved by the majority of small and wealthy businessmen.There are only two or three clerks guarding Liu Jingyun's embroidery store, and it is estimated that there is another embroidery workshop. A woman in her 30s with elegant clothes and a good face came, and blessed Chao Meimei and Xu Junxuan, and smiled cautiously. She introduced the embroidery on the counter, and asked her if she needed to process a dress, or would she like to buy something?
Bai Zhan didn't dare to follow too closely, so he entered the store first, found a corner in the store where he could control the whole situation at a glance, and stood there, watching the young lady and Liu Ye enter the store.

Listening to the woman say: "Grandma, grandma, do you need to buy embroidery materials? There is a private room upstairs, why don't you invite Grandpa and grandma to sit and rest for a while, have a cup of hot tea, and then teach someone to bring samples?" Pick slowly?"

Xu Junxuan blushed a bit, and stopped on purpose to keep the distance between the two of them further away, but Meimei looked at the embroidery on the cabinet as she walked, without thinking about other things, she didn't feel his embarrassment, she was shopping with a man beside her, This was perfectly normal in the previous life, and it was Xu Junxuan who she thought was simple and harmless, so she didn't have the time to pay attention to what people called him, grandpa, grandma, and the maids and women in the mansion also called it that way.

Bai Zhan complained secretly in the corner: What's the matter?Really misunderstood, right?Sixth Master, Sixth Master, what's your idea?

　One more. . . . . .
