There is Room For the Poor Daughter
Chapter 668, stepmother came to the door
The fact that Xiqu City was recaptured quickly spread throughout the entire Xia Dynasty, and both officials and commoners were eager to applaud.
The people care about the results, and the officials are more concerned with the process.
In this way, the mysterious Lord Xiao of Jin Lingwei entered people's field of vision again.
Ningmen Mansion, Guo Family.
Mrs. Guo and Guo Xueming are also discussing this matter.
Guo Xueming: "Mother, when Chen Jiarou came to look for me yesterday, she accidentally mentioned that there were many people out there saying that Mr. Xiao from Northern Xinjiang was his cousin."
Mrs. Guo blurted out and wanted to say that it was impossible, but thinking of the proud look of her master every time he talked about Xiao Yeyang, she swallowed the words silently.
Guo Xueming added: "Mother, I remember, it seems that we haven't seen my cousin for half a year. No matter how busy my cousin is, he can't even show up on weekdays. Tell me, are the rumors true? Yes?"
Mrs. Guo glanced at her daughter, pondered for a while, and said, "You have to ask your father about this. Your father must know."
Guo Xueming hesitated: "Father, you shouldn't tell us this."
Mrs. Guo smiled lightly: "It's definitely not possible to ask directly." After speaking, she immediately ordered the kitchen to cook a few meals, and then sent the servant to the barracks.
Guo Xueming watched curiously, not quite understanding what her mother was doing.
That afternoon, the little servant came back.
Mrs. Guo called the servant to ask for a while before letting him leave.
After the guards left, Guo Xueming walked in. Seeing Mrs. Guo's expression of sigh, she couldn't help asking, "Mother, have you heard the news?"
Mrs. Guo looked at her daughter and sighed, "Mother never imagined that Xiao Yeyang, who was rebellious as a child, would grow up to be so promising."
Hearing this, Guo Xueming's expression brightened: "Mother, do you mean that cousin is really that Mr. Xiao?"
Mrs. Guo nodded: "One hundred percent sure."
Guo Xueming was puzzled: "How did the mother find out?"
Mrs. Guo smiled: "Didn't I bring food to your father today? Two of them were for Xiao Yeyang. The servant came back and said that your father and Xiao Yeyang have finished eating."
Guo Xueming was confused: "Is there any problem?"
Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "The two dishes I gave to Xiao Yeyang are the ones that Xiao Yeyang dislikes the most, but your father said that they had finished eating. What does this mean? It means that your father is helping Xiao Yeyang. Taking cover, Xiao Yeyang was not present at all."
Guo Xueming looked stunned, then smiled at Mrs. Guo: "It's still my mother who is amazing."
Mrs. Guo smiled smugly: "I may not know Xiao Yeyang very well, but I still don't know your father, so I haven't checked it out yet." After saying that, the smile on her face gradually converged.
"I thought that Xiao Yeyang was uneducated and restrained in Zhongzhou, and he would grow into a playboy. I never thought that without the instigation of those in the palace, the longer he grew up, the better he became."
Guo Xueming smiled and said, "Isn't this very good?"
Mrs. Guo shook her head: "Silly daughter, Xiao Yeyang wants some sloppy stuff, and maybe even fewer people pay attention to him. Now that Xiao Yeyang is so promising, do you think there will be fewer people who like him? The first one, there are Jiang family."
Marriage with the royal family is actually a contest and game between the family and the family. The better Xiao Yeyang is, the more families will be involved, and the more likely the Guo family will fail.
Guo Xueming's expression froze: "Maybe, we have no chance at all, but my cousin has a sweetheart."
Mrs. Guo snorted coldly: "Xiao Yeyang's wife cannot be Yan Yiyi's, and the prefect of Yan is also a fourth-rank official. Do you think the emperor's marriage will point to the Yan family?"
Guo Xueming was silent for a while: "That's unlikely to point to my daughter."
Mrs. Guo: "In recent years, our family has gradually withdrawn from the court. After your father returned to Beijing after serving as governor, it is estimated that he will also take a job to be idle at home, so he is so interested in our family, and the emperor should also compensate for one or two talents. Yes."
Saying that, his face darkened.
"However, we also have to pay attention, if Yan Yi really fascinated Ye Yang, if he made a great contribution in the northern Xinjiang, and a confused begging the emperor to marry, then we will be vomited to death. already."
Guo Xueming was a little anxious: "Mother, what are we going to do?" If it was said that she married her cousin because of a proposal from her family, but after seeing the cousin herself, she was also happy and even had some vague expectations.
Mrs. Guo pondered: "Don't worry, let me think about it."
In mid-September, Daohua handed over the latest batch of pills to Deshou and asked him to send someone to the northern Xinjiang. Seeing Gu Jian's bored appearance, worried that he would be bored at home, he suggested going out to relax.
Gu Jian's face was moved. In order to take care of his sister, he had hardly gone out these years. Now that her sister is gone, and while his body is still strong, he also wants to take a look around.
So, Daohua sent a letter to the family, explaining the reason, changed into men's clothes, and left Taohua Village with Gu Jian.
The two of them have no destination, just walk around at will, look at the customs, look at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers, and taste the food from all over the world.
In the blink of an eye, it's October.
One day in early October, several carriages stopped in front of the Yan residence.
"Who is it, leave now if you have nothing to do, this is the prefect's house, you can't park randomly."
An old lady with half-white hair stepped down from the carriage and looked at the gate of the prefect's house with a little fear in her heart, but when she thought that she was the mother of the prefect's wife, she immediately raised her chest.
"I'm the mother of your prefect's wife, so let your wife come out to greet me."
Hearing this, the people in the concierge looked at each other in dismay. Isn't there only two uncles and grandfathers in the madam's family? I never heard of an old lady.
Although full of doubts, the concierge did not dare to delay, and quickly entered the backyard to report.
After Mrs. Li heard the concierge's words, her face sank instantly, and she asked the servant to drive people away without thinking.
Who knew that the old lady was shameless. When she heard that Mrs. Li did not recognize her, she immediately rolled around, crying and making trouble, and scolded Mrs. Li for being unfilial. After a while, countless people gathered around to watch.
In just a short while, the news of the prefect's wife not recognizing her mother was spreading in the streets and alleys.
After Mrs. Li found out, her face was ashen with anger, and she immediately went out to make a theory.
Seeing that Mrs. Li's face was wrong, Han Xinran was worried that things would get worse and worse, so she quickly grabbed someone and sent someone to call Yan Wenxiu.
After Yan Wenxiu arrived, he asked Mrs. Li directly, "Mother, is the old lady at the door really your grandmother?"
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and said: "What grandmother, your grandmother died a long time ago, and that person was just the person your grandfather remarried later. I really didn't expect her to have the face to come to the door."
Yan Wenxiu frowned upon hearing this. He knew something about his grandfather's family. This step-grandmother was not easy to deal with. Her mother and two uncles suffered a lot from her, and she almost killed her. Mother married an old man. Later, two uncles fought desperately not to have the family property and separated from her before leaving with her mother.
If such a thing is left in any family, it will not come again. The step-grandmother dares to come to the door, but it is really shameless.
After being silent for a while, Yan Wenxiu said, "Mother, I can't let her continue to make trouble like this. This year is the last year of my father's prefect, and the assessment will be at the end of the year. The loss of military rations has already left a stain on my father's performance. , Now our family can't spread any bad reputation."
Mrs. Li's brows were wrinkled: "Then why don't you invite the old witch in? You have never had contact with her, so you don't know how shameless that person is. Don't take off."
Yan Wenxiu: "It's already like this, let's call someone in first. After entering the mansion, we will take control of the matter."
Mrs. Li rubbed her swollen forehead and nodded: "After calling people in, put them in the yard and don't let them wander around."
Yan Wenxiu nodded in agreement, and then left quickly.
Yan Wenxiu came to the front door and watched Mrs. Li's stepmother Li Wang bring her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren over.
This family is clearly prepared!
Although he was annoyed in his heart, Yan Wenxiu didn't show it on his face, silently watching Li Wangshi's performance, until the other party could no longer perform, and then he called someone into the house.
