Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 51
Xiao Huairou was wearing a light pink silk embroidered shirt with white roses, and an orange-red smoked gauze loose flower skirt tied around her waist. Her usual gentle smile hung on her lips. Although she was born as a concubine, she was full of elegance The elegant demeanor seems to be no less than that of ordinary prostitutes.

Xiao Huaichang was dressed in a lake blue white butterfly dress, with crystal bead chains wrapped around his hair, which made him a little more playful and charming. When he met him, he winked at Xiao Huaisu, his eyes seemed full of interest.

Xiao Huaisu was wearing a snow-white plain brocade dress, standing beside Mrs. Du with a smile like that, watching Mrs. Xiao bring her two daughters forward to salute, her whole body was like a pool of still water, with a demure look from inside to outside. temperament.

"They're all relatives, so why be polite!"

Although Mrs. Du said so, her body remained motionless, and she accepted Mrs. Xiao's courtesies peacefully. Even if the other party was Mrs. Hou, she should still bow to her according to her seniority.

Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wang greeted each other again, the mother and daughter sat down, and then a maid brought tea, the top quality Xinyang Maojian floated in the tea gu, and the rich tea fragrance wafted out.

Moisturizing her throat with tea, Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "I just settled here two days ago, and today I came to visit non-stop. It's not that the two girls in the family miss the third girl. Come and see her." Having said this, he paused, then looked at Xiao Huaisu, his eyes flashed, "A four-year-old girl is really different!"

It's not the same, the dazzling style reminds her of Du Boshu back then, but the little girl's eyes are dark, like a pool of water, which makes people a little hard to see through.

Mrs. Xiao remembered what Xiao Huairou had said before, and she also had some calculations in her heart.

Only then did Xiao Huaisu come forward to salute with a smile, "Of course my eldest aunt is happy to come to Huaisu." Then he came forward and took Xiao Huaichang's hand, "Second Sister, I miss you!" The two sisters were very affectionate He held up his little hand.

"Just thinking about your second sister, and forgetting about your eldest sister?"

Xiao Huairou's eyes rolled gently, and he interrupted the conversation with a smile.

Xiao Huaisu turned his head and glanced at Xiao Huairou, his smile faded slightly, "Eldest sister is still as bright and charming as before!"

Xiao Huairou's face flushed, she lowered her head in embarrassment, Madam Xiao covered her lips and smiled, "Look at this sweet little mouth, it's better to be taught by the old lady!"

Mrs. Du nodded not very enthusiastically, picked up the tea and took a sip.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang smiled and talked about other things, "I haven't congratulated Lord Hou for getting the vacancy of Guanglu Temple Chancellor yet. Now that I'm in Bianjing, it's much easier for our two families to communicate with each other."

"It's just an official position from the sixth rank, so it's not good for you!"

Mrs. Xiao waved her hand, although she said it was not good, but her eyes were full of complacency, who didn't know that it was a fat job, and now it fell into the pocket of the Xiao family, how many people would be envious of it.

"Madam Xiao is too modest!"

Mrs. Wang was also very polite, she pursed her lips and smiled after seeing Mrs. Xiao's behavior, and said nothing more.

There was silence in the room for a while, Madam Xiao seemed to feel a little embarrassed, she turned her head and praised Du Yanyun and Du Yanyu, "I knew that the Du family had a pair of sisters, but I never got to meet them before. Sister, but Huairou was compared immediately, look at Sister Yu's chaste and quiet appearance, I think it is better than that wild girl Huaichang!"

Mrs. Wang smiled modestly, Madam Xiao's two daughters are indeed not as good as sisters Du Yanyun, she is naturally discerning in her heart.

Xiao Huairou bit her lips slightly, but she still forced a smile on her face, but her eyes turned to Du Yanyun's side unwillingly.

Xiao Huaichang didn't notice it, he had started talking with Xiao Huaisu affectionately, if the elders were not present, she would have liked to hide aside and whisper about herself.

Mrs. Xiao glanced at Xiao Huaichang's side, but felt relieved.

If it wasn't for her daughter's good relationship with Xiao Huaisu, she would really be embarrassed to enter this door, but now that her husband is an official in Beijing, and Mrs. Du's influence spreads all over the government and the public, she won't get closer like this. What to do?
It's hard to get an official position, but it can't go wrong because of a little thing!

Yes, the Gaoyi County Lord entrusted Princess Daming to ask the emperor for this face, but after that, the mother and daughter can't control them for the rest of their lives, and they are not close to Xiao Yihai's side, so although Xiao Yitao won in Bianjing For this official position, they have to figure out how to work hard and how to get to the top.

When Mrs. Xiao was rejoicing that the relationship between the two families could be repaired a little because of this, Xiao Huaisu's voice rang out inappropriately, with a childlike curiosity and innocence, "Auntie, I heard that I have many Got a sister, but really?"

The smile on Mrs. Xiao's face froze, and she looked at Mrs. Du's sinking face again. Mrs. Wang's lips tightened unknowingly, and she couldn't help being annoyed, but she knew that this matter could not be concealed. , and replied as kindly as possible: "But your second sister told you?" She gave Xiao Huaichang a scolding look, "This girl just can't control her mouth, but... the county lord did give birth to a daughter , on the [-]th of last month..." After finishing speaking, he took a cautious look at the expressions of everyone in the Du family.

A sneering smile rose from the corner of Mrs. Du's lips. After six months of marriage, she gave birth to a baby. This kind of scandal is something that Gaoyi County Lord can't cover up even if he wants to. It depends on how the wind blows!

Mrs. Wang, however, shook her head regretfully, "Originally, Mrs. Xiao still hoped that the county lord would give birth to her a grandson. It's a pity..." There was so much sincere regret in these words, and how much schadenfreude sarcasm Mrs. Xiao can taste the taste after thinking about it for a while, and then she heard Wang's words full of deep meaning: "But the Xiao family does not lack the sons and grandsons to inherit the family business, Mrs. Xiao, don't you think so?"

Madam Xiao's eyes lit up, and the smile on the corner of her lips deepened immediately.

While the adults were talking, the juniors went to the closet to play.

After all, Xiao Huairou wanted to be more reserved, and perhaps wanted to perform better than Du Yanyun, so the two girls of the same age sat together and chatted about the current clothes and jewelry.

Du Yanyu wanted to play with Xiao Huaisu, but Xiao Huaichang couldn't wait to pull Xiao Huaisu aside to reminisce about the old days, his small face was still a little angry, he gave her a blank look and said, "I didn't tell your third aunt Where did you hear about the childbirth? Mother thought I had slipped the tongue, and am I being wronged?!"

"Good second sister, it's my fault for letting you bear this crime for nothing!"

Xiao Huaisu took Xiao Huaichang's hand and acted coquettishly. She had never heard of it before, but in the future, the Lord Gaoyi should give birth, so she just asked.
