Chapter 54 Looking at each other

The master and the servant slept until after noon before waking up one after another. Although they were still tired, they did not dare to sleep more. Xue Shu simply took Qingyu to the main courtyard to receive the reward in person.

The main courtyard was busy at the moment, and Aunt Wu suddenly brought Xue Yao over for some reason. She was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.

Seeing Xue Shu come in, Aunt Wu suddenly smiled like a flower. She even stood up and stepped forward to hold Xue Shu's hand. Although she was dodged lightly, there was no displeasure on Aunt Wu's face.

"Yao'er can get a place to listen to the Jade Pavilion. I really need to thank the eldest sister for giving up my love!" Aunt Wu sat down with Xue Shu, then turned to look at Xue Yao and said with a smile, "Yao'er, I won't let the eldest sister see you yet."

A gift, thank you big sister for making it happen?"

Xue Yao bit her lower lip. Although she didn't want to, she still stood up obediently and bowed slightly to Xue Shu: "Thank you, big sister."

Although Xue Shu had a smile on her lips, her eyes were indifferent. She said softly "Hmm" and then turned to look at Xue Lu: "Mom seems not to be in good spirits today, but she is not feeling well? How about a treat?"

Is the government doctor coming to take a look?"

They just ignored Aunt Wu and her daughter.

Mrs. Xue Lu smiled and shook her head, saying: "I'm fine. It's rare that the sun is so good right now. The sun is better than taking any medicine."

She was just woken up once last night. After she came back, she couldn't fall asleep again. It wasn't until dawn that she finally felt sleepy. How could she be in good spirits?

"That's what mother said." Xue Shu also smiled.

Aunt Wu on the side saw that the two mother and daughter were completely ignoring her, so she coughed, took out a few bills from her sleeves, stood up and walked to Xue Lu's side, bowed slightly and said: "Tingyu Pavilion is finally completed.

This is a receipt, I have brought it with you, can your mistress take a look?"

I have to say that after being favored by Xue Yue for so many years, Aunt Wu still has some abilities.

She is obviously in good health and has a rosy complexion, but her every move is like a weak willow supporting the wind, easily arousing people's protective desire.

No wonder Xue Yue loves her so much, men probably do this.

It's a pity that the whole yard is full of female relatives.

Mrs. Xue Lu glanced at the note and did not reach out to take it.

Aunt Wu laughed dryly, then handed the bill to Mother Zhang, who then handed it to Xue Lu.

Xue Lu glanced at it casually, then put it on the table: "I've read it, do you have anything else?"

Before Xue Shu didn't come, she was still interested in acting with Aunt Wu for a while, but now, she just wanted to have a good chat with her daughter.

Aunt Wu was not a fool, and naturally she heard the meaning of expelling guests in her words, so she smiled, twisted her waist and returned to her seat, holding up the tea cup: "Repairing the yard is not my job alone.

, you can’t ask me to pay for this money myself, right?”

"Aunt Wu, what you said is terrible," Zhang's mother said with a sneer, "Back then, when my wife wanted to build the yard for Miss Yao, we called for the masons, but you drove them away.

The mistress has done what she should do. Now, isn’t it your own business to repair the yard for Miss Yao? Don’t involve everything on Madam.”

Aunt Wu's expression froze, and she was about to reprimand, but was suddenly interrupted by Xue Shu: "I remember that Aunt Wu won the favor of my father because of this matter. My father seemed to have given Aunt Wu a land deed? After so many years,

I don’t know what the harvest will be?”

"That was given to me by the Lord. Even if there is a harvest, it will all belong to me. What do you mean by this, girl?" Aunt Wu's tone was cold, without any trace of tenderness.

Maybe it's because she and Xue Yue have been together for a long time, or maybe Aunt Wu is just such a person. In short, when interests are involved, the two of them change their minds faster than turning the page of a book.

"Why are you so excited?" Xue Shu sneered, "Back then, Aunt Wu gained a reputation in front of her father and got a land deed. Now Aunt Wu has a yard and an advantage, and she still doesn't want to spend any money... Where in the world?

Is there such a cheap thing?"

Repairing a yard does not cost much money.

Based on Xue Shu's understanding of her mother, she knew that as long as Aunt Wu said a few more words, Xue Lu would definitely spend money to buy it. But flies, no matter how small they are, are still meat. How can you use your own money to support other family members?

"Big girl, what do you mean?" Aunt Wu narrowed her eyes.

"Girl, why is this Aunt Wu so stupid that she can't even understand what she's saying?" Qingyu looked puzzled, and she didn't lower her voice deliberately when she spoke, so that everyone in the yard heard her clearly.

Xue Shu looked at Aunt Wu with a smile on her face and said: "In that case, I will make it clearer. Auntie wants money to repair the yard, that's fine, but you have to return the deed to the field."

Aunt Wu wanted to ask for more, but Xue Shu refused to let her have it.

"Send off guests." Seeing her daughter's unwillingness to give up, Mrs. Xue Lu pinched her brows helplessly, took Xue Shu's hand and led her into the house.

Zhang's mother and Qingyu stayed outside, blocking the mother and daughter.

"You! It's just a few taels of silver, what's that big deal?" As soon as she entered the room, Mrs.

Are you feeling tired?"

Xue Shu snorted and said: "No matter how small the money is, it belongs to our family. If mother has some spare money, why don't you give it to me? Why should you give it to outsiders?"

Mrs. Xue Lu smiled and shook her head, saying: "Here it is? I gave you less money? Have you spent all the money again?"

She was born in the Hou family and had no shortage of money since she was a child. As her biological child, Xue Shu had never suffered any injustice in the matter of money.

Most of the girls from other families have a fixed amount of money every month, which is only a hundred taels at most.

But Xue Shu was different. In addition to her monthly income, she had to add in the income from the property that Xue Lu gave her every month, which amounted to hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver, making her a proper little rich woman.

And if she doesn't have enough money, she just needs to open her mouth or act coquettishly, and Xue Lu will open the gate and release the money, giving her as much money as she wants.

That's why Ms. Xue Lu didn't understand why her daughter insisted on holding on to such a small amount of money today.

"No," Xue Shu held Xue Lu's arm and sat down. "My daughter just doesn't want others to take advantage of her. Besides, Aunt Wu is just an ignorant wolf. How much money has her mother given her over the years?

Yes, but doesn’t she still want to come and cause trouble for her mother no matter what?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Xue Lu sighed and said with a smile: "Okay, I will listen to you from now on."

She didn't think Aunt Wu could stir up any trouble, but since her girls had spoken, she wouldn't do it in the future.

After talking about Aunt Wu, Mrs. Xue Lu started to talk to her about business again: "I heard that Mrs. Qin has already started to arrange a blind date for Xiang'er?"

When Xue Shu heard this, alarm bells rang in her heart: "I didn't listen to Xiang'er."

Xue Lu smiled and said: "In short, a girl's life-long events are very important. I have already drawn up a list and sent it to the Hou Mansion to ask them to start screening.

How about waiting until next year when your brother finishes the exam and arrange it for you right away?"

"Daughter... I'm not in a hurry." Xue Shu twitched the corner of her mouth and decisively pulled Xue Chen into the water. "Brother hasn't seen her yet? It's better to look for him first. My daughter wants to spend more time with her mother.

!”

Mrs. Xue Lu shook her head and said in a serious tone: "This is an important matter for my daughter's family and cannot be delayed - we are not asking you to meet each other today and leave the cabinet tomorrow. We have to see each other's character.

Just be obedient. If you really don't want to, it's not impossible to get married a few years later, but the candidate must be decided first."

Mrs. Xue Lu persuaded her earnestly, but Xue Shu could only nodded casually, got up and ran out.

Set yourself on fire.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have come.
