When Xu Rongrong and Mu Rong dismounted in front of the Xu Mansion, everyone in the Xu Mansion was already present.
Although the streets and alleys where Xu Mansion is located are not too remote, they are not comparable to Zhuxiang Yayuan and Jianghan Street. Along the way, they seem a little desolate.
Especially at the entrance of the alley, the neighbors stood on the eaves with their hands folded and watched.
A county lord appeared in the streets, and he brought the Lord Marquis back to visit him. Naturally, no one would miss it.
Therefore, it is much more lively now than before.
Some familiar neighbors stood in front of their homes and held their hands in front of Xu Chaoqian, which was very helpful to Xu Chaoqian.
His back couldn't help but straighten a bit.
When Xu Rongrong was about to get off the car, he glanced at the carriage covered with black cloth that was following closely behind him, feeling a little strange:
The gifts I brought home today were just ordinary items, nothing large. Why was it transported in such a large carriage?
But Wen Yao was not with him, so he couldn't ask in detail.
Mu Rong followed her and leaned out of the carriage. Following her gaze, he looked over and thought: "That was arranged by me."
Xu Rongrong was a little surprised.
Mu Rong smiled lightly: "Don't worry, this gift has its own uses."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to Xu Rongrong: "For now, let me help you get out of the car first."
Looking at his warm smile, and looking at his arm so close...
He was willing to accompany her on this trip, so she had no reason to offend him, so she gently placed her hand on his palm.
However, the moment his hands touched, they were held tightly by him, their fingers intertwined and unwilling to let go...
The intimacy between the two fell in the eyes of everyone around the Xu Mansion, some were envious and some were jealous.
The feelings of everyone in the Xu Mansion are the most complicated among these people.
Xu Chaoqian looked at the way Mu Rong looked at his daughter for a moment. He was both proud and uncomfortable: Why was it the daughter who was least valued by him that flew up on the branch? The way she bowed to He's memorial tablet when she got married is still like a thorn in his eye, making people panic from time to time.
Standing next to him was Xu Yaoyao. She looked at everything in front of her calmly, but her heart was already turbulent! Obviously, I am no weaker than Xu Rongrong, the eldest sister! If her father hadn't brought Xu Rongrong into the palace on the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, then the woman standing next to Marquis Weiyuan might have been her! But Xu Rongrong already had such a good marriage with Marquis Weiyuan, why did he ruin her good fortune on the wedding day!
If you are unkind, don’t think of me as unjust!
Her hands hidden in the cuffs were clenched into fists.
Behind Xu Yaoyao stood Xu Minmin and Xu Ming. Compared to Xu Ming, who pretended to be serious, what was visible to the naked eye was deep hatred in Xu Minmin's eyes.
For her, if it hadn't been for Xu Rongrong, she wouldn't have been thrown to Zhuangzi to be tortured, nor would she have found that everything around her was completely different after returning home:
Her mother who loved her disappeared. The servants in the mansion said that she was driven back to her old house for murdering her father and was not allowed to return to Beijing.
The life of having clothes to wear and food to eat is gone. There are no considerate girls around to serve you, and your daily monthly payment has been cut in half. If you want to buy something delicious, you have to piece it all together!
When she was suffering terribly, Xu Rongrong was able to marry with great splendor!
The first wife of a first-grade military lord...she deserves it!
Looking at Mu Rong, who is standing next to Xu Rongrong with a tall figure, strong manners, cool and handsome appearance...
Xu Minmin gritted her teeth even more - why did she, Xu Rongrong, get all the good things?
The oncoming emotions changed a thousand times, but instead aroused Xu Rongrong's fighting spirit.
She dusted off the non-existent dust on the purse at her waist and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Seeing the two of them getting out of the car, Xu Chaoqian came forward to greet them: "Why are you here now? My father thought that after you married into the Marquis Mansion, you would not be prepared to recognize our Xu family members."
This sentence is vicious.
Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Steward Xu who was waiting on the side.
He knew that his master was petty, but he didn't expect him to be so petty!
Saying such words in front of the door is clearly a slap in the face of the eldest lady. What is the difference between this and directly calling her ungrateful!
However, there was no anger on Xu Rongrong's face. She just said lightly: "How dare, daughter? It's just that this place is quite far from Hanjiang Street. The delay on the road made my father unhappy."
After saying this, some people in the surrounding neighborhood could not help but laugh out loud:
"Mr. Xu has lived here since he entered the capital. He has not been promoted in ten years and has never moved. Now that his daughter has married into a noble family, the distance between the first and sixth grades is not as simple as an hour or two."
"Who says it's not the case? He still has the nerve to yin and yang his own daughter."
"..."
Xu Chaoqian's face instantly turned pale.
Butler Xu, who was serving at the side, saw this and said hurriedly: "Miss and the Marquis are back now, so don't stand here and enter the house quickly."
After saying that, he glanced at Xu Chaoqian who was embarrassed.
I sighed in my heart: This master of mine is so small-minded, but he still has no self-awareness. If he wants to make others lose face, he doesn't first check how many brushes he has!
……
Take a seat in the hall.
Since there was no mistress in the family and there was only one person in charge, Xu Chaoqian, Mu Rong and Xu Rongrong served tea to him one after another.
Xu Chaoqian did not embarrass the two of them. He took a few sips of tea and gave a few words of advice.
Next, Mu Rong paid tribute to his brothers and sisters in Xu Mansion.
Mu Ai came forward holding three gift boxes. Inside were the gifts prepared by his own prince for the Xu family's siblings.
Xu Yaoyao and Xu Minmin each got a set of gold and jade fan pendants. They were so luxurious that one could tell they were worth a lot of money.
Xu Yaoyao thanked her with joy, but Xu Minmin was a little unhappy: she thought she would get a gift from the palace or even His Majesty today, but she didn't expect it to be something that can be seen everywhere in jewelry shops. Although it is luxurious, it is more ordinary after all!
What Xu Ming got was a set of Four Treasures of the Study, which was in line with his current status as a student.
Xu Ming, who was a scholar, liked this gift quite a lot. He bowed and thanked him in a polite manner, but at the age of twelve he still wanted to act like an adult.
Xu Ming has been raised by the Xu Liu family since he was a child, so he will naturally be more utilitarian than ordinary children. But after all, he left the Xu Mansion when he was eight years old and went to Baiyang Academy hundreds of miles away to study. He also studied in Celadon Hall, known as the cradle of child prodigies, so he was somewhat polite and obedient.
Coupled with his stern and scholarly demeanor, among the people of the Xu family who have different opinions, he seems old-fashioned and cute.
Mu Rong had a desire to test his teachings several times.
And Xu Rongrong was also watching with interest.
Xu Chaoqian watched his son reply fluently, but at the same time he was worried that he would not seize the opportunity to ask for some benefits from Mu Rong.
Unable to hold back, he had no choice but to speak in person.
