Aunt xiaodouding rushed 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 several dishes in the kitchen last time. The style and taste are very unique. Well, my aunt thinks that Miss Wang is the first assistant. She is used to eating delicacies, and occasionally eats something different..."

"Oh, I'll go to the kitchen to teach the cook."

Xu Qi'an is full of expectations for the good play. Now he will agree to whatever his aunt asks.

On the other side, after xiaodouding was driven out of the hall, he played alone in the yard for a moment. He felt bored and ran to his sister Xu Lingyue's room.

Seeing that autumn is coming, Xu Lingyue is making autumn clothes for her beloved elder brother, which are made of brocade given by Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty.

Xu Lingyue's needlework is outstanding. Her robes are more beautiful and delicate than those bought in the shops outside.

Li Miaozhen brings Su Su Su to help. Of course, the saint of Tianzong won't do needlework, but Su Su was a serious lady when she was still alive.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, needlework and needlework are all necessary skills.

These years, Li Miaozhen's clothes and even his belly pocket were all made by Su Su with the help of the female ghost under her hands.

Xu Lingyue took a look at her sister who climbed up to the table to get the cake. While embroidering the pattern, she said in a soft voice:

"Ling Yin, do you want to have a sister-in-law?"

"What is sister-in-law?" Xu Lingyin began to eat again.

"My sister-in-law is my second brother's daughter-in-law, and she will need money from the housekeeper in the future." Xu Lingyue said softly.

Xu Lingyin said, "Oh, I'm not old enough to realize the importance of economic power. On the contrary, it's Su Su who sneers:" what miss Lingyue said is that your second brother's salary can support the expenses of the Xu family? Your mother often pays more than ten taels of silver to buy valuable flowers and plants. Who earns all the money? "

Xu Lingyue pursed her mouth and said with a smile, "it's the silver earned by big brother."

There are three times for the Xu family to make a fortune. One time is when Linglong was mad. Xu Qi'an made great contributions to the rescue of Lin'an, and Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty rewarded him with a fortune. The other time was when he was appointed as a marquis. There was also a large amount of silver and good land.

In her two fortunes, Xu Lingyue bought a number of shops, selling cosmetics, satins, groceries, etc. These shops are nominally managed by my aunt, but actually controlled by Xu Lingyue.

For the third time, it was the silver that chicken essence workshop shared at the beginning of the year. It was an unimaginable sum of money, which directly gave the Xu family a golden mountain.

If it wasn't for too much silver, a thrifty woman like my aunt would not burn money from time to time.

Of course, the superficial property of the Xu family does not include Xu Qi'an's private money hidden in the fragments of the book.

Official silver, gold ingots, and treasures collected by Cao Guogong are enough to build a small treasure mountain.

Su Su "hummed" twice, with a strong voice: "therefore, even if you want to manage the family's money in the future, it must be Xu Ningyan's daughter-in-law."

Xu Lingyue flashed a sharp light in her eyes and said with a smile, "that girl Su Su thinks, among the people you know, who is the best match for my elder brother?"

Su Su cleverly avoided Xu Lingyue's death interrogation and muttered:

"I don't know. Your eldest brother is amorous and willing to spend 8000 Liang to redeem himself for Huakui of Jiaofang Department..."

this remark touched Xu Lingyue's pain.

Xu Lingyue, a girl, suspects that Su Su and his elder brother are having an affair. She has a keen intuition..... Su Su is not bad either. She stabs Xu Lingyue with 8000 liang of backhand..... The saint of Tianzong sits on one side, eating cakes and watching plays leisurely.

Xu Lingyin ate some cakes in her sister's room. She didn't understand what the adults said, so she felt bored. So she ran out with a cloth cutting ruler and waved it in the yard. Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe.

Playing all the way to the gate of Xu's mansion, Xu Lingyin lost his ruler when he saw that the middle gate was open, climbed up the high threshold, opened his arms and played balance on it.

"Sister Lingyin, go back, go back, there will be guests coming later."

Old porter Zhang waved.

Standing on the threshold, Xu Lingyin tried to keep his balance. He tilted his head and asked, "is it my second brother's daughter-in-law?"

The porter Lao Zhang was speechless and waved again.

As soon as Xu Lingyin tilted her head, she fell from the high threshold, patted her ass and ran away happily.

...

on the other side, with the wheels rattling, Wang simu's luxurious carriage slowly stops at the gate of Xu's house.

The servant girl took out the stool from under the carriage to welcome the young lady out of the carriage.

Wang simu took a look at the gate of Xu's house and nodded slightly. Although it was far less than the royal house of the Wang family, it was still very rich for the Xu family to buy such a big house in the inner city.

Having been in charge of the finance of the palace for many years, Wang simu estimated that the house was worth at least 7000 Liang.Knowing that the distinguished guest had arrived, the porter Lao Zhang hurried forward to greet him and led Wang simu and his servant girl into the house.

Wang simu took a deep breath, adjusted his mind and crossed the threshold....

suddenly, Wang simu stepped on something under his feet and looked down. It was a ruler.

The ruler symbolizes the rules. The Xu's mother left the ruler at the door, obviously for me. This is to make rules for me..... Wang simu's face changed slightly.

Xin said that the master mother of the Xu family is good tempered, overbearing and difficult to get along with.

The servant girl saw her stop and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"

"Nothing," Wang simu said in a flat tone, "the ruler has fallen here. Pick it up and send it back."

It may not be the beating, but it may be the Xu's mother's temptation to me. After all, my father is the first assistant. He really married Erlang, so he was married. She was afraid that I was domineering and unruly, so she threw a ruler to test me.

If I'm really unruly and willful, I will be furious, but I'm obviously not so superficial...

she doesn't plan to fight with master Xu's mother today. She is here to spy intelligence today.

First of all, we should find out the means and temperament of Xu's mother, so that we can decide how to get along with each other in the future. The mother seems to be testing as she thinks.

He is really a master.

Lao Zhang led the guests to go inside, and asked the servants to inform miss Lingyue.

When Wang simu went through the outer courtyard and entered the inner courtyard, he happened to see Xu Lingyue coming out with a smile.

Xu's sister is wearing a long lotus colored skirt and a simple and elegant bun. Her face is pure and refined, and her facial features are very three-dimensional, but they are tender and tender for men.

"Sister Wang, I haven't had time to invite you to my house since the last poetry meeting. Today I finally got what I wanted. " Xu Lingyue's smile is clear and sweet.

"It's said that my sister fell into the water when I was at the poetry meeting. My sister always felt bad about it." Wang simu has a dignified and gentle smile.

Holding each other's hands, the two women seem to be good sisters who love each other deeply.

After entering the inner hall, Wang simu finally met the legendary master mother of the Xu family. She sat on the throne with a smile and looked at herself with a kind face.

She is so amazing, with a sharp face and exquisite facial features. At first glance, she doesn't look like Xu Lingyue's mother, but more like her sister.

Wang simu was surprised and not surprised by the beauty of Xu's mother, because as long as you refer to Xu Lingyue and Xu Erlang, you can probably guess the beauty of this mother.

She was surprised that the mother was so well maintained that she could not see that she was a mother of three.

"Mrs. Xu!"

Wang simu saluted Yingying.

Please sit down, Miss Wang

With a reserved smile on her aunt's face, she motioned Wang simu to take a seat.

Of course, she can't show too much enthusiasm. After all, this is the daughter-in-law to be, so her mother-in-law's airs still need to have.

When Wang simu sat down, he looked at the maid and said with a gentle smile, "when I just entered the house, I saw a ruler at the door and let the maid pick it up."

Wait for the maid to put the ruler on the table.

Aunt a Leng, "Yi, Ling month, this is your ruler, how to throw the door."

Xu Lingyue fixed her eyes and saw that it was really her ruler. Alas, she said, "it must have been the ring tone that she lost there. She just took my ruler to play with it."

What a powerful means, I was speechless..... Wang simu forced a smile, she could not say a child is not.

Then, Wang simu asked the retinue to send gifts. Because he wanted to have dinner here, he brought some valuable cakes, 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 make jewelry for the concubines in the imperial palace.

Of course, Wang simu will not deliberately point out the identity of the craftsman, that is too low-end, it will only appear that she is a superficial love dazzle woman.

She only said that it was made by craftsmen in the imperial city. What it meant was clear to all the rich men and women who had some insight.

"Miss Wang has a heart."

My aunt was very happy when she received the jewelry.

Seeing this, Wang's daughter realized that her tricks were not enough to surprise the mother.

...

outside the hall, Xu Lingyin found his elder brother sitting on the bench in the corridor, listening to something, and ran to him: "big pot, what are you doing?"

"Big brother is at the theatre... No, at the theatre." Xu Qian touched her head.

"I want to listen, too." Xu Lingyin waved her arms.

Xu Qi'an picked up her sister and put her on her lap.

Xu Lingyin also pretends to listen.

That's Miss Wang's fighting power? Well, after all, I didn't marry. It's understandable to be polite and reserved, but I'm too angry to make moneyAs far as I know Miss Wang, she should be a very independent and powerful person. It's impossible not to test her aunt's level....

why hasn't she started yet? I'm waiting for her to choke my aunt....

...

in the hall, Wang simu chatted with Xu's mother and Xu Lingyue without any flaw.

After a period of exploration, Wang simu was stunned to find that the Xu's mother was not as profound as she thought.

Wang simu is an expert in house fighting. She has a keen sense of the same kind, but she doesn't find any similar characteristics here.

She is quite frank and turns a blind eye to her own exploration, as if she doesn't know how to intrigue at all. Moreover, it seems that because of her status as the first assistant daughter, she is especially polite to her for fear of being ill treated.

For example, when we talk about Rouge powder, we immediately lose the posture of our elders and chatter like a little girl.

He even complained that he didn't understand the account books of the shops outside, so he could only let Xu Lingyue help manage them and expose his shortcomings.

In any case, she doesn't look like the kind of woman with superb skills.

Wang simu was deeply confused.

After that, my aunt asked Xu Lingyue to take Wang simu around the house.

Because he couldn't find out the depth of Xu's mother for the time being, Wang simu also wanted to go out to relax, change his mind and wait for another chance to fight.

The scale of Xu's mansion is not as large as that of Wang's mansion, but it is also a compound with two entrances. Both the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are equipped with gardens and pools. In addition, my aunt is a flower lover.

Many valuable flowers and trees are planted in the flower garden.

Wang simu, as the daughter of a top family, knows that only a family with a solid family background can have leisure and financial resources to cultivate precious flowers and plants.

So I think highly of the financial resources of the Xu family.

In the courtyard, xiaodouding was fighting. Lina was sitting on a stone chair, gnawing her elbow while guiding her apprentice.

"That's shemei's ring tone." Introduced by Xu Lingyue with a smile.

Only Erlang mentioned it, but he didn't seem to want to introduce the child more..... Wang simu nodded slightly and said, "sister Lingyin practices martial arts?"

"Yes," sighed Xu Lingyue:

"only the second brother in the family is a scholar, but the second brother has been studying hard and has no time to teach her. I sent her to school and was bullied by others, but my mother had no choice, so I just let her practice martial arts. "

Miss Wang frowned. That's not good. Women still have to read and understand. The more knowledgeable and reasonable you are, the more you will be able to marry a good family in the future.

She thought about it and said, "if you don't dislike it, I can enlighten Ling Yin."

Xu Lingyue said with a sweet smile, "thank you, sister simu."

Wang simu said with a smile that if he could become the first teacher of Xu Lingyin, he would gain some respect from the Xu family and show his talent.

Xu Lingyue said: "in this family, my mother's biggest headache is the ring tone. I have nothing to do with her."

Xu Lingyin is the weakness of Xu's mother...... Wang simu quickly extracted the core elements.

Since the master mother of the Xu family is unfathomable, I understand the enemy situation from the Xu family.

At this time, she listened to Lina scold her apprentice: "you are so stupid that you can't learn several boxing skills well. When can you lift the stone table?"

Raise the stone table? Is such a small child going to lift a stone table?

Then, she saw Lina two fingers "pinch" the stone table, relaxed freehand.

"...".

Wang simu forced a smile: "that girl is..."

"Oh, her name is Lina, a girl of Gu nationality in southern Xinjiang. For the time being, I live in Lingwu Xu Lingyue said.

"He is a strict teacher with real ability." Wang said.

When they turned the corner of the corridor, they saw Xu Qi'an and Zhong Li sitting on the eaves, basking in the sun and muttering.

Wang simu moved in his heart and said tentatively, "it's said that Xu Yinluo's parents died early. In order to train him to become a useful person, Mrs. Xu must have racked her brains and made great efforts."

"That's right."

Xu Lingyue sighed and said: "when I was a child, my father had to let my elder brother practice martial arts. My mother didn't agree. She wanted him to study like my second brother. For this reason, father and mother have been fighting for many years. "

Great!! Wang simu was amazed.

The whole Dafeng knew that Xu Ningyan was the seed of reading, and even his father Wang Zhenwen had the feeling that "if this son were a scholar, it would be better.".

But because the second uncle of the Xu family had to let Xu Qi'an practice martial arts, he wasted a brilliant reading seed.

Unexpectedly, as early as many years ago, Xu's mother knew the Pearl with her eyes.

Xu Lingyue continued: "when I was young, my eldest brother and my mother had a bad relationship and quarreled sometimes. In a fit of anger, I moved out of the house and lived in a nearby courtyard for five years. Until they moved to the inner city, the family continued to live together. "

What?!

Even Xu Qi'an can't fight Xu's mother?Even the rebellious Xu Yinluo, who was blocked in the Meridian Gate and scolded the princes, chopped the Duke at the market, was forced by Xu's mother to move out of Xu's house when he was young....

Wang simu realized that everything before was disguised, the so-called frankness, the so-called not good at fighting, and Fang Cai's everything was deliberately revealed to himself by Xu's mother.

Wang simu breathed fiercely and his face was more serious than ever.
