Chapter 54 The Enemy (1)
Old Mrs. Du stroked his long beard, his eyes were full of light, and he pondered: "Let's hang it out first, our Du family is not so easy to win over, not to mention that the Xiao family has only accepted the love of Gaoyi County Lord now, and now they are so happy. Come to show us your goodwill, who dares to have this kind of sloppy temperament?" At the end, he paused slightly, "Besides, how long has it been since Bo Shu's incident, could it be that they thought we would really swallow that breath? !"

Mrs. Du also lowered her eyes and nodded, "Master is right!" Thinking of the conversation between Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xiao today, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "The relationship between the two houses of the Xiao family does not seem to be It's so harmonious, the eldest daughter-in-law tried it out today, if the brothers are divorced, maybe what will happen in the future!"

Old Mrs. Du twitched the corners of his lips, "The descendants of the Xiao family are incompetent, the root of this disaster is naturally from within, but I don't think Xiao Yitao is a fool, just wait and see, and see if he hits a wall in Bianjing City, and when he arrives... Who else can I turn to for help..." As he spoke, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.

This game has to be laid out slowly, not only Xiao Yitao, but Xiao Yihai must also be pulled in, and the real excitement will be when the net is closed. Even if he doesn't want the Xiao family to exterminate the family, he still wants them to never stand upright in front of the Du family. Come on!

From time to time, a cold light flashed in Mrs. Du's silent eyes, and Mrs. Du knew that he already had a calculation in his heart, and the original worries turned into clouds of smoke and slowly drifted away at this moment.

In the next few days, Mrs. Xiao came to the door twice again. Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wang dealt with it in a non-salty way. They didn't give the Xiao family any favors, let alone promised anything. Mrs. Xiao felt that it was boring. , Gradually with a plan in mind, the number of visits to the door is not so frequent.

It was Xiao Huaichang who was thinking about Xiao Huaisu, and came to visit her from time to time, and Xiao Huairou also took this opportunity to come to the door together, which made her small courtyard very lively for a while.

At this moment, watching Xiaoju lightly put down the plate of melons and fruits from the well water on the mahogany Eight Immortals table, Xiao Huaichang's eyes were slightly startled, as if he remembered something, he said in surprise: "You are not that dull and stupid girl back then!"

Xiaoju's eyes flashed, and she lowered her head and said, "Second Miss has good eyesight, she is a servant girl!"

Xiao Huaisu smiled from the side: "Second Sister, Xiaoju is not stupid at all, it's just that she doesn't like to talk usually."

Looking at Xiaoju who was retreating aside, Xiao Huaichang couldn't help but glance at her again, "After arriving at the Du's house, the consequences are really different, even the people behave a lot."

Xiao Huaisu smiled and didn't speak, just stretched out his hand and twirled a crystal grape and put it in his mouth. He nodded in satisfaction, and pushed the fruit plate in front of Xiao Huairou and Xiao Huaichang, "Eldest sister and second sister also taste it, I heard it is It was just sent from the village today, and when I came back, I washed it and put it in the well water, but it was fresh!"

Xiao Huairou responded with a smile, but her heart couldn't stop feeling sour.

Their Xiao family doesn't have any Zhuangzi shop in Bianjing city, and even the house they live in is just a small second-entry courtyard, and they haven't lived in a spacious and comfortable place in Lanling's mansion, but it is Bianjing after all, every inch of land is expensive, and it is prosperous. There must be strength behind the honor, and the current Xiao family is indeed unable to compare with the Du family.

Xiao Huaichang didn't pay much attention, he ate and used casually, and asked Du Yanyun and Du Yanyu's whereabouts, "I haven't seen your two cousins ​​today?"

Xiao Huaisu replied with a smile: "Second cousin has already learned to be a housekeeper from my aunt, and third cousin is now working hard on embroidery. In addition to practicing calligraphy, she is doing embroidery every day. She only comes to me when she is free. "After speaking, he smiled and blinked, and took Xiao Huaichang's hand affectionately again, "I'm afraid I know I have a distinguished guest here today, so I didn't bother our sisters to reminisce about the old days."

"Come on!"

Xiao Huaichang obviously didn't believe it, and nodded Xiao Huaisu's forehead with a smile, "You girl, you always speak better than you sing, we must come here too often, now your two cousins ​​are afraid of us!" I couldn't help myself and laughed.

Xiao Huairou's complexion changed a few times, and she looked at Xiao Huaisu with a sullen face, "Sister, did your second cousin say something?" The meaning at the moment is that if Du Yanyun speaks ill of her behind her back, Xiao Huaisu must not Hide it from her.

Seeing Xiao Huairou's sensitive appearance, Xiao Huaisu couldn't help sighing in her heart. She is not a person on the same level but has a heart of comparison everywhere. She really didn't want to hurt Xiao Huairou, so she thought about it and said, "Where did the eldest sister think?" , My second cousin is not such a person, she is too happy for you to be guests, you see, she sent the melons and fruits from the kitchen today."

"really?"

Xiao Huairou looked at Xiao Huaisu half-believingly, who nodded with a smile, but she couldn't say anything more.

On the other side, Xiao Huaichang pursed his lips with some disdain, and pulled Xiao Huaisu to whisper, "I don't know what's wrong with the eldest sister. She was fine when she was in Lanling, but she was a little nervous when she arrived in Bianjing. I thought she was smart, but now I know she is really stupid!"

Xiao Huaisu glanced at Xiao Huaichang in surprise. At first she thought that the second sister was heartless, but now it seems that Xiao Huaichang is the one who sees clearly.

The trace of indifference and easy-going that Du Yanyun showed originally carried a sense of superiority, which could not help but be noticed by the sisters of the Xiao family, even Xiao Huaisu could see it.

But Xiao Huaichang chose to ignore it, just do whatever he wants, and live his life as usual.

But Xiao Huairou started to compare, and the more he compared, the more he felt that he was at a disadvantage in every way. If things went on like this, the little bit of self-confidence he could have pretended to be was completely blown away.

Xiao Huaisu wanted to persuade Xiao Huairou a few words, but seeing her crazy expression, she gave up her thoughts. She was originally doing it for the other party's benefit, but Xiao Huairou might have to think about it again, so it's better not to say it. .

The sisters chatted for a while, and Xiao Huaisu said that at the end of the month, Mrs. Du and his party would go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to escape the summer heat, and I am afraid that they will not return to Du's mansion for a while.

A gleam of envy suddenly appeared in Xiao Huairou's eyes.

Xiao Huaichang was a bit reluctant, she only found a playmate in Bianjing City, but she didn't expect to be separated again, so she could only ask Xiao Huaisu to come back early, otherwise, if she continued to face Xiao Huairou, her life would be boring to death.

The Du family has a Zhuangzi outside the city of Bianjing. The Zhuangzi has a certain terrain and is backed by a mountain. It is shrouded in the shadow of the mountain, and it is especially cool in summer.

At the foot of the mountain is his own fertile orchard, where fresh vegetables and fruits are available. If you want to catch a few fish by yourself, the big pond can fully meet your needs, so Mrs. Du will live in this house for a couple of days every summer. For a month, to avoid the hot season, I went back to Bianjing city.

This year, Xiao Huaisu also had the honor to go to this Zhuangzi with Mrs. Du.
