Vol 2 Chapter 210: Wang Simu's shock

Aunt Xiaodouding drove out of the hall and could only play alone in the courtyard.
The aunt coughed and smiled at her nephew, "Well, Ning Yan, I remember you cooked a few dishes in the restaurant last time. The styles and tastes are very unique. Well, the aunt thinks that Miss Wang is the daughter of the first daughter. , I am used to eating delicacies and delicacies, and occasionally eat something different......"
"Oh, I'll go to the room to teach a chef."
Xu Qi'an is full of expectations for the good show for a while, and now he will agree to any request from his aunt.
On the other side, after Xiao Douding was driven out of the hall, he played in the yard by himself for a while, feeling bored, and ran to his sister Xu Lingyue's room.
Seeing the fall, Xu Lingyue was making autumn clothes for her beloved elder brother, using the brocade bestowed by Emperor Yuan Jing.
Xu Lingyue's needlework is outstanding, and the gowns she makes are better-looking and delicate than those bought in the shops outside.
Li Miaozhen brought the female ghost Su Su to help. Of course, the Heavenly Sect Saintess would not be a female red, but when Su Su was still alive, she was a decent lady.
Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and needlework are essential skills.
Over the years, Li Miaozhen’s clothes, and even his bellyband, were made by Su Su with the help of the female ghost under his hand.
Xu Lingyue glanced at her younger sister who had climbed up to the table to get the cakes, embroidering patterns, and softly said:
"Ring tone, do you want to have a sister-in-law?"
"What is my sister-in-law?" Xu Lingyin began to eat again.
"The sister-in-law is the second elder brother's daughter-in-law, and she will take care of her money in the future." Xu Lingyue said softly.
Xu Lingyin let out an "Oh", not yet at the age to recognize the importance of economic power, but Su Su sneered:
"What Miss Lingyue said was your second brother's salary, which supported the Xu family's expenses? Your mother bought rare flowers and plants, and she often spent more than ten taels of silver. Who made the silver?"
Xu Lingyue pursed her lips, and said with a small smile: "It's the money the elder brother earned."
The Xu family made a fortune three times. One time was when the Linglong went crazy. Xu Qi'an had done a good job in saving Lin'an, and Emperor Yuan Jing rewarded him with a fortune. The other time was the time of knighthood, and there was also a large sum of silver and good land.
During the two fortunes, Xu Lingyue bought a number of shops, selling good-looking, silk and groceries. These shops are in name by aunts, but Xu Lingyue actually controls them.
The third time he made his fortune was the money distributed by the Essence Chicken Workshop at the beginning of the year. This is an unimaginable amount of money that directly gave the Xu family a golden mountain.
If it weren't for too much money, a woman like aunt, who was a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, wouldn't burn money and grow flowers from time to time.
Of course, the apparent property of the Xu family does not include the private money Xu Qi'an hid in the fragments of the ground book.
Official silver, gold ingots, and treasures treasured by Cao Guogong are enough to pile up a small treasure mountain.
Su Su "hum" twice, plausibly: "So, even if you want to take charge of the mansion's money in the future, it must be Xu Ningyan's wife."
A sharp light flashed in Xu Lingyue's eyes, and she smiled and said: "Then Miss Su Su thinks, who is the best match for my elder brother among the people you know?"
Su Su cleverly avoided Xu Lingyue's death questioning, and muttered:
"I don't know this, your eldest brother is so lustful, he is willing to spend eight thousand taels to redeem his life for the Jiaofang Secretary..."
These words hit Xu Lingyue's sore spot.
The girl Xu Lingyue suspects that Su Su and his elder brother have an adulterous affair, her instinct is so keen... Su Su is not bad either, she used eight thousand taels to stab Xu Lingyue's heart... ......The Tianzong Saintess sat aside, eating cakes and watching the play leisurely.
Xu Lingyin ate cakes in her sister’s room for a while. She didn’t understand what the adults said, so she felt bored, so she ran out with a ruler for cutting fabrics and waved the ruler in the yard, hehe thick, as if she was a sword sword Heroine.
All the way to the gate of Xu's mansion, Xu Lingyin lost the ruler when he saw the middle door of the former confinement opened, climbed up the high threshold, opened his arms, and played balance on it.
"Sister Lingyin, go home, go home, there will be guests coming later."
The porter Zhang waved his hand.
Standing on the threshold, Xu Lingyin tried to maintain her balance, tilting her head and asking, "Is it my second brother's wife?"
"..." The concierge old Zhang was speechless and waved again.
Xu Lingyin tilted his head and fell off the high threshold, patted his and ran away happily.
.........
On the other side, with wheels and wheels, Wang Simu's luxury carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of Xu's house.
The maid took out the stool from under the carriage and greeted the lady getting off.
Wang Simu glanced at the gate of Xu's mansion and nodded slightly. Although it was nowhere near the imperial court house of the Wang family, the Xu family's financial resources were still very rich when buying such a large house in this prosperous area of ​​the inner city.
Having been in charge of the royal family's finances for many years, Wang Simu estimated that the mansion was worth at least 7,000 taels after just a glance.
Knowing that the distinguished guest had arrived, Zhang, the concierge, hurried forward to greet him, and led Wang Simu and his personal servant girl into the mansion.
Wang Simu took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and crossed the threshold...
Suddenly, Wang Simu stepped on something on the sole of his foot, and looked down, it was a ruler.
The ruler symbolizes the rules, and the mother of the Xu family threw the ruler at the door, obviously for me, this is to set the rules for me... Wang Simu's face changed slightly.
Xin said that the mother of Xu's family is very domineering and hard to get along with.
Seeing her stop, the maid asked: "Miss, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing," Wang Simu said in a flat tone: "The ruler fell here. Pick it up and send it back to others."
It may not be a beating, it may also be the temptation of Xu's mistress. After all, my father is the first assistant and really married Erlang, which is considered to be married. She was afraid that I was a domineering character, so she threw a ruler to test.
If I were really a stubborn and willful daughter, I would be furious, but I obviously wouldn't be so superficial...
She didn't plan to fight with the mother of the Xu family today. The so-called knowing oneself, knowing each other and winning every battle, she came to spy on intelligence today.
You must first understand Xu's mistress's methods and temperament before deciding how to get along in the future. That mistress seemed to be trying as she thought.
Sure enough, he is a master.
Lao Zhang led the distinguished guests to go inside, while letting the servants in the house inform Miss Lingyue.
When Wang Simu passed through the outer courtyard and entered the inner courtyard, he happened to see Xu Lingyue greet him with a smile.
Sister Xu's sister wears a long dress of pink color, a simple and elegant bun, her melon-seeded face is beautiful and refined, her facial features are very strong, but she also reveals the tenderness that a man loves.
"Sister Wang's family, after the last poem meeting, there has been no time to invite you to the mansion. Today I finally got what I wanted." Xu Lingyue smiled clear and sweet.
"Speaking of which, when the poem meeting made my sister fall into the water, my sister has always felt sad." Wang Simu smiled dignified and gentle.
The two women held each other's hands, as if they were good sisters who loved each other and had deep feelings.
Entering the inner hall, Wang Simu finally saw the legendary Xu family mistress, she sat in the master seat with a smile, and looked at herself kindly.
She was so stunning, with a sharp face, and exquisite features. At first glance, she was not like Xu Lingyue's mother next to her, but more like her sister.
Wang Simu was both surprised and not surprised by the beauty of the mistress of the Xu family, because only by referring to Xu Lingyue next to him and the admired Xu Erlang, he could probably guess the beauty of the mistress.
She was surprised that the mistress was so well maintained, she could not see that she was the mother of three children.
"Mrs. Xu!"
Wang Simu Yingying giving a gift.
"Miss Wang, you are welcome, please sit down."
With a reserved smile on her face, the aunt motioned to Wang Simu to take her seat.
Of course she can't be too enthusiastic. After all, this is a prospective daughter-in-law, so her mother-in-law still needs to have the air.
After Wang Simu took his seat, he looked at the close-fitting maid with a gentle smile: "When I entered the mansion, I saw a ruler at the door and asked the maid to pick it up."
After the maid put the ruler on the table.
My aunt was taken aback, "Huh, Lingyue, this is your ruler, why did you leave it at the door?"
Xu Lingyue took a closer look and found that it was her ruler, and she said, "It must have been the ringtone that was lost there. She just took my ruler to play with it."
What a powerful method, it left me speechless..........Wang Simu smiled reluctantly, she couldn't say that it was a child.
Then, Wang Simu asked Hucong to present a gift. Because he was going to eat here, he brought some precious pastries, and then some jewelry for his aunt and Lingyue.
This jewelry is not ordinary jewelry, it is the work of craftsmen in the imperial city who specially made jewelry for harem concubines.
Of course, Wang Simu would not deliberately point out the identity of a craftsman, that would be too low-end, and it would only appear that she was a superficial and dazzling woman.
She only said that it was made by craftsmen in the imperial city. What this means is that all wealthy daughters and women who have a bit of knowledge know in her heart.
"Miss Wang is interested."
Auntie was very happy when she received the jewelry.
Upon seeing this, Wang's concubine realized that her little trick was not enough to surprise the mistress.
.........
Outside the hall, Xu Lingyin found her eldest brother sitting on a bench in the corridor, listening attentively to something, and ran over: "Cauldron, what are you doing."
"Big brother is watching the play...No, listening to the play." Xu Qi'an touched her head.
"I want to listen too." Xu Lingyin waved his arms.
Xu Qi'an picked up her sister and put it on her lap.
Xu Lingyin also pretended to listen.
This is the fighting power of Miss Wang's family? Well, after all, I didn’t get married. It’s understandable to be polite and subtle, but it’s too kind to make money..........
As far as I know about Miss Wang, she should be a very assertive and powerful person, it is impossible not to test her aunt's level..........
Why hasn't she shot yet, I'm waiting for her auntie.........
.........
In the hall, Wang Simu chatted with the mother of the Xu family and Xu Lingyue without any flaws.
After a period of probing, Wang Simu was surprised to find that the Xu family mistress was not as unpredictable as she had imagined.
Wang Simu is a little expert in house fighting, and has a keen sense of smell for the same kind, but in the Xu family's mistress, she did not find any similar characteristics.
She has a relatively straightforward personality, and she is blind to her own temptation, as if she doesn't understand intrigue at all. And, it seems that because of her status as the first assistant daughter, she is very polite to her, for fear of improper reception.
For example, when talking about rouge gouache, the posture of the elders immediately disappeared, chattering endlessly, like a little girl.
He even complained that the account books of the outside shop were not easy to understand, so Xu Lingyue could only help to manage it.
No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like that kind of superb woman.
Deep confusion arose in Wang Simu's heart.
After that, the aunt asked Xu Lingyue to take Wang Simu around the house.
Because it was temporarily unclear about the depth of Xu's mistress, Wang Simu also wanted to go out to relax, change his mindset, and wait for the opportunity to fight again.
The Xu Mansion is not as large as the Wang Mansion, but it is also a two-entry compound. Both the inner and outer courtyards are equipped with gardens and small ponds. In addition, the aunt is a flower lover.
Many valuable flowers and trees are planted in the flowerbed.
As a daughter of a top family, Wang Simu knows that people with a solid family will have leisure and financial resources to cultivate precious flowers and plants.
So I looked at the Xu family's wealth.
In the courtyard, Xiaodouding was punching, and Lina was sitting on a stone chair, chewing on her elbows while guiding her apprentice.
"That's the ringing tone of the sister-in-law." Xu Lingyue introduced with a smile.
I only heard Erlang mention it, but he didn't seem to want to introduce this child..........Wang Simu nodded slightly and said, "Sister Lingyin is practicing martial arts?"
"Yes," Xu Lingyue sighed:
"There is only the second brother in the family who is a scholar, but the second brother has a heavy school work and has not had time to teach her. Sending her to a school, and being bullied, my mother is helpless, so I just let her practice martial arts."
Miss Wang frowned. This is not good, because the woman still has to study sensibly. The more knowledgeable and reasonable, the better you can marry a good family in the future.
She thought for a while and said: "If you don't dislike it, I can help sister Lingyin enlighten."
Xu Lingyue smiled sweetly: "Thank you Sister Simu."
Wang Simu smiled. If he could become Xu Lingyin's enlightenment teacher, he would surely gain some respect from his family and show his talents.
Xu Lingyue said again: "In this family, my mother's biggest headache is the ring tone, and she has nothing to do with her."
Xu Lingyin is the weakness of Xu's mistress.........Wang Simu quickly extracted the core elements.
Since the Xu family’s mistress is unfathomable, I learned about the enemy from the Xu family.
At this time, she heard Lina reprimand the disciples: "You are so stupid, and you can't learn a few sets of boxing skills. When can you lift the stone table?"
Lift the stone table? Is such a small child going to lift a stone table?
Then, she saw Lina "squeeze" the stone table with two fingers, freely.
".........."
Wang Simu smiled reluctantly: "That girl is..."
"Oh, her name is Lina, a girl from the Southern Xinjiang Gu clan. She lives in the mansion for the time being~EbookFREE.me~ to teach Lingyin and martial arts." Xu Lingyue said.
"He is a serious teacher with real skills," Wang Simu said.
The two turned the corner of the gallery and saw Xu Qi'an and Zhong Li sitting on the eaves, basking in the sun, and muttering.
Wang Simu moved in his heart and tentatively said: "I heard that Xu Yinluo's parents died early. In order to train him to become a man, Mrs. Xu must rack her brains and take great pains."
"is not it."
Xu Lingyue sighed lightly and said, "When I was a child, my father had to let her elder brother learn martial arts. My mother disagreed and wanted him to study like her second brother. For this reason, father and mother have been competing for many years.
Awesome! ! Wang Simu was amazed.
The entire Dafeng knew that Xu Ningyan was the seed of reading, and even his father Wang Zhenwen had such emotions as "If this son is a scholar, it would be fine."
But because the second uncle of the Xu family insisted on letting Xu Qi'an practice martial arts, he wasted the seed of an amazing and brilliant reading.
Unexpectedly, as early as many years ago, the mother of the Xu family knew how to behave.
Xu Lingyue continued: "When I was young, my eldest brother and my mother were at odds with each other and quarreled from time to time. Angrily, they moved out of the house and lived in the adjacent courtyard for five years. Until they moved to the inner city, the family continued. stay together."
what? !
Can't even Xu Qi'an beat Xu's mistress?
Even the unruly Xu Yinluo who was stuck in the Wumen yelling at the princes, the Caishikou knife and the rebellious Xu Yinluo, was forced to move out of the Xu mansion when he was young by the mother of the Xu family..........
Only then did Wang Simu realize that everything before that was a disguise, the so-called frankness, the so-called not good at fighting, and everything just now was deliberately revealed to herself by the mother of the Xu family.
Wang Simu's breath took a sharp swift, his face was more serious than ever.
