Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 52 Conversation
However, Xiao Huaichang's disposition is calmer than before. If it were the past, or in the Xiao family, I'm afraid Mrs. Xiao's words made her distinguish for herself, but today she is completely suppressed. Xiao Huaisu was a little bit impressed by his temper.

"That's all." Xiao Huaichang has always been soft and not hard. Seeing Xiao Huaisu's appearance, he waved his hands grandly, and said: "Anyway, we can't hide this matter. The fourth sister happened to be full moon on the day we arrived in Bianjing. Well, third uncle named her Huaixiu."

Xiao Huaisu smiled lightly, "Huaixiu...that's a good name!"

"Fourth sister is so young, I don't know who she will be like in the future..." Xiao Huaichang paused at this point, gritted his teeth and said, "Did you know that Dong Yan lived in our house? It's the one that my third aunt gave birth to before." Daughter?" While speaking, she squeezed Xiao Huaisu's hand with a little more force, and it was obvious that she was very displeased with Dong Yan.

The seemingly weak face flashed in his mind, Xiao Huaisu's eyes flashed, and then he nodded, "I heard that Dong Yan lives in Xiao's house, but she can't get in the way of the second sister, why are you so angry?" ?”

"She's just getting in my way!"

Xiao Huaichang snorted coldly, "Not to mention the third aunt spoiled her to the sky, she depends on her in everything, and she is used to pretending to be weak and pitiful, and now she has won the favor of grandma, but for a small matter, If she didn't pick things up, could grandma reprimand me? Are you angry?!"

"This... won't it?"

Xiao Huaisu was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Dong Yan really had some tricks, how many days had passed before Mrs. Xiao was tidied up, and even his granddaughter had to be sidelined?

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about her, I just get angry when I talk about it!"

Xiao Huaichang sat at the side sullenly, Xiao Huaisu rolled his eyes and persuaded: "Second Sister, anyway, you have already come to Bianjing City, out of sight, out of mind!"

Only then did Xiao Huaichang smile comfortably, "Yeah, it's also fortunate that my father went to Bianjing to take up his post, so I was able to leave there. I can't see that annoying ghost right now, and I feel better!" Turning his head again, he looked at Xiao Huaisu Look again, "Third Sister has changed a lot, and she's even smarter!"

"Second sister isn't the same," Xiao Huaisu replied with a smile, then glanced at Xiao Huairou, and whispered: "I see that the eldest sister is also quite decent, did the eldest aunt teach her a lot before she went to Beijing?"

"That's not it!"

Xiao Huaichang nodded, "After the year, my mother invited a nanny to teach me. My eldest sister and I have been tortured by her for a few months, and we have learned a lot of rules. Do you think I look decent now? "As he spoke, he got up and walked around in front of Xiao Huaisu, the lake blue white butterfly in a flower skirt swayed in a circle, and her silver bell-like laughter seemed a bit playful.

That Fang Du Yanyun's gaze also turned around, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, cousin Xiao Er, so happy?"

Xiao Huairou also stood up, but she said to Xiao Huaichang with the style of a big sister, "Second sister, we are visiting Du's house, so don't be frivolous!"

Xiao Huaichang stuck out his tongue indifferently, and under Xiao Huairou's slightly stiff face, he still responded, "Elder sister is right!" Then he sat down beside Xiao Huaisu again.

When Du Yanyun rolled his eyes, he could see some taste, and couldn't help but lightly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Xiao Huairou wants to discipline Xiao Huaichang just because she is her elder sister, but how can the distinction between concubine and concubine be overridden, it must be rare for Xiao Huaichang not to refute her immediately.

Seeing that the atmosphere was slightly tense, Xiao Huaisu couldn't help but change the subject, turned to Xiao Huairou and asked softly, "Elder Sister, did Eldest Brother and Second Brother come with you this time?"

The Xiao family now has two young masters, the eldest young master Xiao Huaimu is now ten years old, and the second young master Xiao Huaiqing is also eight years old. Both of them are Mrs. Xiao's sons, and they are as precious as eyeballs.

Only then did Xiao Huairou's expression soften, and he looked at Xiao Huaisu with a sweet smile, "The elder brother and the second younger brother are also here, and mother wants to find an academy for them in Bianjing City, which is better than Lanling Academy!"

Du Yanyu scratched his head at the side, a little puzzled and said: "But my elder brother and second elder brother didn't go to the academy either. The elder brother's knowledge is not bad, and my father said that he will be able to give it a try in two years' time!"

Xiao Huairou's complexion suddenly became awkward, and after thinking about it, he bit his lips and said: "The Du family has a rich heritage, and they are full of Jinshi. I heard that Du Sishu was born in Tanhua, so they must have personally taught them. Even if you don't enter the academy, you are no better than others Poor!"

Du Yanyu immediately nodded proudly, "My father's knowledge is indeed not weak, and he is currently working in the Imperial Academy. I heard that he will give lectures to the princes!"

Seeing that Xiao Huairou's complexion changed again and again, Du Yanyun couldn't help but chuckled softly in his heart.

Du Yanyu said this seemingly innocently and unintentionally, but it was like a sore foot stepping on Xiao Huairou's chest again and again.

The Du family has a rich background, even if they don't enter the academy, they can still produce talents, but in contrast to the Xiao family, which has been a family for hundreds of years, it is now declining more and more. Compared with the two, how could Xiao Huairou feel that he has a bright face? ?
Seeing that Xiao Huairou's complexion became even more ugly, Du Yanyun smiled and said to Du Yanyu, "Fourth Uncle is so powerful, I have never seen you serve snacks. If one day your embroidery skills improve a thousand miles, I will ask you to It's admirable!"

"Second sister is making fun of me!"

Du Yanyu blushed immediately, and then hid behind Du Yanyun embarrassingly.

Xiao Huaichang took a look at Xiao Huaisu, and said with a pursed mouth: "No wonder Sanmei can write better than me now, it's different after all with expert advice!"

Is this also worth being jealous?
Xiao Huaisu shook his head helplessly, then took Xiao Huaichang over again, and whispered in her ear: "Second sister, I will find you a copybook later, and you can trace the red, and you will definitely be above me in a few months." Already!"

Xiao Huaichang's eyes lit up, and then Mimi smiled and nodded.

Although the Chancellor of Guanglu Temple is only a sixth-rank official position, the official position in Bianjing City is naturally higher than that of local officials. Even if Xiao Yihai now sits as a fifth-rank co-prefect, his power and status are still far behind Xiao Yitao , if it weren't for this, Mrs. Xiao would not have tried her best to take this position.

Mrs. Xiao was chatting enthusiastically, and she didn't plan to leave for a while, so Mrs. Wang had to ask Lian Sheng's family to go down and arrange the table.

Although the meal at noon was not enjoyable, everyone was still friendly on the surface. Mrs. Xiao exchanged pleasantries again, then put down the presents and left with her two daughters.

Looking at the backs of the Xiao family's mother and daughter leaving, Du Yanyun turned to look at Xiao Huaisu, the smile on the corner of his lips carried a hint of ambiguity, "Miss Xiao is quite high-spirited!"
