Yuzhu's nod finally made the smile of the ancestor spread to the corners of her eyes. She patted Yuzhu's hand and said, "Since you are back, don't leave the mansion. You are well raised at home. Your mother's place is too unruly. When I criticize her, let her accompany you..."

Yuzhu hurriedly said, "This is not too much to kill me, you must not..."

For a moment, the dinner for grandparents and grandchildren was very satisfying.

After the meal, Yuzhu wanted to go back to the old house where she had been living, but the old lady refused to let her go, so she just asked her to go back to her original boudoir. As for the miscellaneous items stored, she asked the servants to order people to move them back.

Yuzhu never said "no" in front of the mistress of the Xiao family. After finishing her meal, she rinsed her mouth with tea, and then left and went back to her boudoir to rest.

Old Mrs. Xiao was also a little tired for a moment. Under the service of her close mother Liu Ma, she wiped it with a wet wipe and slid down with a loose clothes to prepare for rest.

Liu's mother went out to pour water, and after a while, she came back, and whispered to the old lady that the eldest master was waiting outside.

But the ancestor only asked Liu Ma to give up the eldest young master Xiao Shan first because she had already fallen asleep.

When Liu Ma came back, she put Wen Guo's hand into the quilt as usual, and then whispered: "Young Master is looking like a scene that is going to be devil again. Why do you want to leave Miss Six in the mansion, my ancestor?"

Liu Ma was brought by his ancestor when he got married. He never got married in his life. He was an old man in the mansion. Mrs. Xiao did not avoid her and sighed, "If I put it outside, I am afraid that Shan'er would live outside for a long time and would be happy. Raising her sixth sister into an outdoor room... It's not nice to say, and I don't need the emperor's orders. Even if I go down to the Huangquan with my old face, I will be ashamed of my ancestors. I originally expected him to marry a wife and could not hold on to her, but look at Chen in his house, but fortunately, she is still the daughter of the general, without the breath of a tiger gatekeeper. Since this is the case, it would be better to call Liu Yatou back..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao remembered something more important: "By the way, it's not a sign, General Wen is coming. You tell Jing Nian's house that this matter is related to our Xiao Mansion. If she is petty and specializes in the broken things of her Wang family, she will wrap her bags and go back to her parents' home... Also, Liu Yatou is dressed too simply. Since she has returned to her parents' home, there is no need to pray for the Wang boy. She goes to the warehouse to get a few pieces of bright silk and make her new clothes, so she will not be despised by the distinguished guests at home..."

Mother Liu nodded and said yes, covered the quilt for Mrs. Xiao and quietly stepped down...

Just saying that Yuzhu returned to her room, I don’t know if she was used to sleeping in the pillow since childhood, but she didn’t sleep all night.

Early the next morning, when Jue'er took warm water to clean the face for Miss Liu, he looked at the pair of autumn eyes with a little distress, adding a few dark dizziness. Miss Liu always used those sculptures, which was exhausting. In addition, her skin was too white and her eyes were obviously very dark.

Jue'er quickly took the teapot on the table with a distressed heart, wrapped the opened green tea leaves with a silk handkerchief and gently applied it to Yuzhu, saying, "I slept very early, why did this look become like this? Why would you eat breakfast later and then lie down and rest and go back to sleep."

Yuzhu smiled slightly and said, "I still think we are living a life in the old alley, and everything will happen? I'm afraid someone will come in a while."

As soon as Miss Six's words fell to the ground, the sound of brisk footsteps came from the pavilion outside. After a while, Miss Five pushed the door open with a gloomy spirit and said, "Sister Six, have you heard that General Wen is coming to our mansion in the afternoon!"

Looking at Xiao Zhen'er's excited face, Yuzhu gently moved the tea bag covering her eyes and said, "What you said... is General Wen Jicai?"

Xiao Zhen'er waved her hand and turned her hand away, then moved a stool and sat next to Xiao Yuzhu. Her slightly round face turned red. She said softly: Sister, can you tell that General Wen's inner fellow died a few months ago due to miscarriage and blood rupture."

Such a tragedy on earth, coupled with the face of the fifth girl's secret joy of picking up a purse, is really a bit shocking.

However, Jue'er, who was tidying up the wardrobe in the inner room, knew the reason inside.

Wen Ji is a tiger general in the northwest. He was a classmate of the eldest son of the Xiao family when he was studying abroad. The two had a close relationship. At that time, General Wen was not as powerful as he is now, and Wen Dongliang would come to Xiao's house from time to time to visit.

After seeing General Wen a few times, Xiao Zhen'er regarded Wen Lang as the best man in her dream. Such a pillar of the country was tall and strong and handsome, so how could people not be admired? However, in General Wen's eyes at that time, Xiao Lu'er was the second girl of the Xiao Mansion. I thought it was a little too little at the beginning, so General Wen became the son-in-law of the Xiao family. But later, General Wen could not compete with the emperor. In addition to being frustrated in love, he no longer had frequent contacts with the Xiao Mansion as before.

As for Xiao Zhen'er, just in terms of appearance, the difference between her sister Xiao Lu'er and peony and daisy, plus her temperament, is the difference between peony and dogtail grass.

However, although General Wen did not pay attention to Xiao Zhen'er, the fifth girl planted a love plant. When looking at other men, it was inevitable that they would be able to compare themselves, so it was difficult to choose the neat ones.

Later, she heard that General Wen married a lady from Jiangnan. After crying a few times, she became disgusted with her mind as a general's wife. But she didn't expect that the heavens would live up to the infatuated people. She was so reserved and refused to marry, and she actually waited for the day when her family fell into a bloody state. How could she not make the fifth lady ecstatic?

When Jue'er thought of this, she couldn't help rolling her eyes. General Wen was extremely brave in fighting, indeed a pillar of the country, but his reputation was also a wind and waver in the major mansions in the northwest. However, the concubines in the mansion were not mentioned, and he was also a strong general who could survive in the fun.

As for the bloody collapse of the official family, it is said that it is related to the jealousy in the mansion. From this point of view, the second lady really deserves to follow the ancestor of the Xiao Mansion. It was obvious that General Wen was not a good person in the morning, so he went to the palace during the talent show. I don’t know if Miss Five was so anxious to enter the Wen Mansion. Can her short-sighted mind be able to withstand the intrigue in the mansion?

Just as Jue'er was thinking, she heard the five girls in the outer room continue to say: "People say that General Wen is not only going out for a relaxing time, but also looking for a suitable woman to continue marrying in the mansion... He doesn't go to other mansions, but comes to Xiao Mansion... Sister, do you think he will propose marriage to his parents?"

The sixth girl said after hearing this: "This... is not easy to say. Moreover, I have never met General Wen before. I don't know what kind of character General Wen is. However, based on her sister's appearance, it seems more safe to find a young man of the same age..."

"Does Liu Mei think I am not worthy of General Wen?" The fifth girl was most unhelpful to others mentioning that she could not marry Wen Jicai, and she was a little anxious when she spoke. But when she saw Liu Mei's voice raised, she immediately stopped talking because she raised her voice, and she was a little disgusted. Yesterday, because her mother made a big fuss, she realized how wronged Liu Mei had suffered in the Wang family. Now her grandmother has warmed Liu Mei's heart. It is really inappropriate for her to have such a sore face.

So he couldn't help but lower his voice and said softly: "Sixth sister, you said this to be a lack of knowledge. If you have seen General Wen, you will know how the young masters who are raised in the mansion can match General Wen at all? But it was a coincidence that why did General Wen always not be in the mansion when he came to the mansion? Either you went to the temple to burn incense or go to a vegetarian vegetarian food and soak in a hot spring with your grandmother..."

After hearing this, the sixth girl just smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence", and did not say anything wrong with General Wen.

But the fifth girl remembered her intention to come here and said to Liu Mei's arm: "I saw that the narrow skirt you wore yesterday was very unique, which was better than those big red and green skirts. I was a little tired of wearing those clothes. I wonder if I could change your clothes for a few days?"

Yuzhu was stunned for a moment and said, "My mother sent someone to ask me for dinner yesterday. When I received the post, it was already late. So I walked more anxiously and didn't have time to change my clothes. The narrow skirt was worn when I cut it to carve jade for thick work. It was just because the sleeves were smoother and the movements were more convenient. You have never seen them, so I felt it fresh. But if I wear it to meet a distinguished guest, the fabric is always not solemn and rich enough. Why would I choose some suitable ones for you?"

When wearing it, Xiao Zhen'er always believed in Yuzhu, and the servants who went to the old alley also brought the sixth girl's suitcase.

So Yuzhu searched a little, chose a light lotus-colored long skirt for Xiao Zhen'er to change it, and used a skillful and light makeup. Even the weeds gave birth to a bit of peony charm.

Xiao Zhen'er looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh: "There are three sisters, only you, you, went to the study with your grandfather and learned calligraphy and painting. With the foundation of painting, it's different. Why did you just change my eyebrows and your whole face seem to have changed?"

At this moment, Liu Ma also brought clothes to Miss Liu's house, and told her that the distinguished guests came to the palace in the afternoon, so that Miss Liu would dress up neatly and meet with her.

After hearing this, Xiao Zhen'er's face of gouache that had just been applied seemed to have turned pale again. She clenched the silk handkerchief in a hurry, and her eyes couldn't help but sweep at the sixth sister who had not yet dressed up.

If it were someone else, he would be so unkempt and unable to see anyone in this way. However, even if Yuzhu had a messy hair and had no makeup on her, she would have a different kind of lazy beauty.

After finally waiting for my second sister to leave, I came the Yaochi Holy Lotus, which was even more deadly than the charming peony, and the fate of the dogtail grass could only roll in the strong wind.

However, Yuzhu looked at the fifth sister who frowned and glared at her with a funny look: "With such an anxious face, it seems that I have snatched the cake from your mouth. But why?"

"Why did my grandmother ask you to dress up? Did she feel that her mother was sorry for you and wanted to find a wealthy marriage for you?"

Yuzhu stood up and handed Jue'er the remaining clothes one by one to let her put them away. Her tone was still gentle and gentle: "Who is General Wen? Which of the wives of such officials in the court is not innocent? I am just an abandoned woman who has just been retired and returned home. Sister, you are just willing to look down on me. Don't tell such hopeless jokes in front of outsiders."

After Yuzhu reminded her, the fifth girl also woke up: Yes, the sixth sister’s trouble at her husband’s house is really unbearable. If General Wen was interested, just asking for a while, just because she and her clan brother were not clear about it in the study, it would have stopped Liu Mei’s journey to a wealthy family."

Thinking of this, while regretting Liu Mei, I couldn't help but feel a little happy. At that time, I was not far away in Liu Mei's room, so I had to take my maid to the flower room and warm room in the house to pick some flowers and dye clothes.

Although General Wen had an official position in the past, he was not half as powerful as the government and the people today. He went to and from Xiao Mansion just to get off the horse and tie it.

But now he was rising all the way, holding heavy troops in the northwest, and could no longer speak the same as the boys in the past. Therefore, before the general's carriage and horses arrived, the ancestor had personally brought a group of people from the mansion outside to greet him with a cane. Yuzhu also came out with everyone and stood far behind everyone.

Xiao Shan has been unable to talk to her since last night. Now she still looks simple and simple in clothes, and has not seen too many decorations. She can't help but feel relaxed. She just turned her head and stood behind her ancestors, waiting for the general's chariot and horse.

But standing in the cold wind for a while, there was no sign of carriages and horses. He ordered the servant to go ahead to inquire. After a while, he came back all the way back, holding the dog-skinned hat and tremblingly said, "Here! Come! What a long queue of carriages and horses!"

After hearing this, the people who were a little frozen and froze, couldn't help but cheer up and stretched their necks to look into the distance.

The servant's words are true, they are indeed a mighty and majestic team of chariots and horses that have been long and have brought about smoke and dust on the loess road.

The officials in the northwest are not as particular as those in the capital. Even if they have high grades, they will only have five high-covered carriages when they go on patrol.

However, the convoy that appeared in front of everyone was a gilded corner, the body of the car was carved with exquisite patterns, and even the carriage was inlaid with gems the size of a pigeon egg, which shone with a different bride even under the slightly chaotic sunlight. The attendants under the car were all wearing brocades and their faces were filled with an indescribable aura. This aura that was very different from the usual luxurious and luxurious, shocked the people in the Xiao Mansion again, which could not make any sound.

When the convoy gradually stopped, Xiao Shan realized that his good classmate was not sitting in the carriage, but was riding a tall horse in front of him.

He stopped in front of everyone in the Xiao Mansion, but did not dismount. He just clasped his fists at the old lady of the Xiao Mansion and said, "Old ancestor, don't be fine!"

The old lady quickly saluted and politely asked the general to enter the mansion to take a rest.

However, after a few polite greetings with Xiao Shan on the horse's back, General Wen said politely: "I received a letter from Brother Xiao Sheng a few days ago. I originally wanted to bother you for a few days, but why did you want to accompany your distinguished guests soon. Today I just passed by, so I won't bother you to the house?"

Now Wen Ji is the life-saving straw for Xiao’s mansion. Unexpectedly, he refused to even get off the horse. This not only made Xiao Shan feel a little anxious. Just as he was about to say something, someone spoke out in the canopy of the most luxurious carriage.

But the sound is as harsh as a sword cutting weapon, with endless gloom: "It is not advisable to stay in front of the merchant's door for a long time. Brother Wen, your dirty air is too contaminated..."

This is simply the most ruthless ridicule and mockery of the famous Xiao family in the northwest, but it is also a fact. Even if a royal concubine was born, the Xiao family was always a merchant family who bought and sold jade.

I just don’t know who was in the car, but I was so rude to the general in the northwest without any concealment.

Wen Jicai was ridiculed by the people in the car, and his face tightened. He just clenched his fists at Xiao Shan apologized, then activated the stirrups and led the convoy forward. What was left for Xiao Mansion and others to wait was the blurred loess that could not be dispersed for a while.
