Chapter 92 Xu Mansion as a guest

About a quarter of an hour after the carriage from the King of Jin's Mansion entered, the carriage of the Shen family also arrived at the gate of the Xu Mansion. The Xu family is an old family in Jindu, which has been passed down for more than ten generations and has not many descendants, but fortunately they are all quite successful. The flirtatious Xu Kui is also above the three brothers of the Shen family. He is the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The Xu family has long been separated, the three old men have all died, and the three old ladies are still alive, and they are all gathered in Yishou Hall today. In addition to the guests and female relatives, there are also Shen Gu, Mrs. Xu San from the second room, Mrs. Xu Si and several aunts from the Xu family and aunts.

After hearing the news that the people from the Shen family were coming, Chen Meiwei came out with Mrs. Xu Er to greet her. When she saw three sisters-in-law and nieces, they were all dressed up and looked OK. Even the third sister-in-law, who always liked to wear gold jewelry on her head, was dressed very well today and did not embarrass her.

"My sister-in-law has asked several times, you are here." Mrs. Xu Er smiled.

Lin, Zhou and Tao smiled and came forward to greet each other.

Mrs. Xu helped the three of them up and said, "Thank you so hard for my sister-in-law to greet me."

If it weren't for the fact that the Shen family had no qualifications to attend the banquet. Although Mrs. Xu was not able to get the title of princess because of the fourth place, she was born in the royal palace and now she is a second-rank lady. It would be impossible for her to be attentive to the Shen family.

Chen Mei knew this well and asked the mother to take a few nephews to the male guest. She led her sister-in-law and niece to Yishou Hall. Every few steps on the long corridor, she was either a longevity pot or a daylily potted plant.

After entering the very festive Yishou Hall, there were three old ladies with gray heads sitting on the soft couch in the middle. Chen and Xu's family didn't have much contact. Chen Danxia and other juniors had never seen Mrs. Xu at all. The three sisters-in-law Lin had met two or three times, but they didn't really recognize Mrs. Xu.

Under the guidance of Shen Meimei, the Shen family knew that the one in the middle was Mrs. Xu San, the birthday boy today. She was wearing an old red dark flower-dressed shirt. Sitting on her left, wearing a sandalwood dark flower-dressed shirt, was her sister-in-law Mrs. Xu, who was the mother-in-law of Shen Meimei; sitting on her right, wearing a ginger dark flower-dressed shirt, was her second sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu liked the ex-daughter-in-law Peng, whom she personally selected, who was Xu Lang's biological mother. She was extremely disgusted with Chen Meimei, a woman who was angry with Peng, who ruined her reputation and married her with her belly. Even though she would not vent her anger on the innocent Shen family, she was not very willing to interact with the Shen family.

Mrs. Xu San knew that her sister-in-law was knotted, but it had been more than ten years since the incident. It would be fine if she had a cold face at home, but she would be a little more casual outside. After all, the few born to her parents have grown up, so she should always leave some face for them.

After greeting each other, Mrs. Xu San, who was willing to ease the atmosphere, saw a cute and very likable little girl standing beside Mrs. Tao. She smiled and waved, "Little Nannan, come here and let me take a closer look."

Chen Danxia looked at Tao, and Tao pushed it on her back, signaling her to go forward. Chen Danxia got her agreement, walked to the old lady Xu San and said sweetly: "Hello, old lady, I wish the old lady a happy smile and a long life."

"Oh, you're so good at speaking. How old are you?" Mrs. Xu San reached out to rub her fair and round face and asked with a smile.

"I'm six years old this year." Chen Danxia smiled with a smile on his face.

"I'm six years old, what's the number one at home?" asked Mrs. Xu San with a smile.

"The ninth place, the old lady can call me Xiao Jiuer." Chen Danxia answered questions and answered.

"What is Xiao Jiuer's name?" Mrs. Xu San asked.

Chen Danxia smiled and said, "Xiao Jiuer is called Chen Danxia, ​​the fragrance of osmanthus is famous for the famous Xia Ye."

Mrs. Xu's eyes moved slightly and looked at Chen Danxia. Seeing that her eyebrows were picturesque. Although it was a little round, she could vaguely see a bit of a beauty's shadow. When answering the question, her mouth was clear and her voice was sweet. After careful examination, her eyes were clear and bright, and her eyes were clear and white. She couldn't help but relax her face and smiled.

"Who chose Xiao Jiuer?" Mrs. Xu San asked with a smile.

"Listen to this, Xiao Jiuer is reading and literate?" Mrs. Xu interrupted and asked.

Chen Danxia's eyes were flowing, and she could probably guess the intention of Mrs. Xu San. If Mrs. Xu was just the mother-in-law of Chen Pei, she would not care about her, but Mrs. Xu was Xu Lang's grandmother. For Brother Lang's sake, she would answer obediently.

"Xiao Jiuer's name was chosen by her grandfather." Chen Danxia moved three steps towards Mrs. Xu, lay on her knees, and looked at her with her little head tilted. "The old lady at home sent Xiao Jiuer to the Xie Mansion next door, where she studied and read. Xiao Jiuer learned "Daughter's Sutra" and "Sound and Rhythm Enlightenment."

Mrs. Xu was stunned. She didn't expect that Chen Danxia would be willing to get close to her. Just now, Chen Danxia had been standing beside Mrs. Xu San. Even Mrs. Xu San rubbed her face, and she did not stay by Mrs. Xu San.

"Xiao Jiuer has learned the "Daughter's Sutra", can you recite it to me?" Old Mrs. Xu took Chen Danxia's right hand, smiled slightly, wiped off the jade string from her hand, and put it on her wrist. Chen Danxia's eyes fell on Shen Danxia, ​​thinking about something.

Chen Danxia smiled and said unfaithfully: "Daughter's sutra, daughter's sutra must be listened to. The first thing is to learn about female virtues; the second thing..."

At this time, a sing came from outside: "The Prince of Anping has arrived, and the prince of the Prince of Jin's mansion has arrived, and I will pay my birthday to the old lady."

Prince Anping!

Prince of Jin's Mansion!

The hall suddenly became lively, especially those girls, who quickly checked their clothes and could not make them ugly in front of the prince and the prince. Mrs. Xu's second wife was not in the hall, and the Xu family's aunt helped make arrangements. Chen Danxia, ​​the youngest of the young, stood in inconspicuous places, and those who stood in conspicuous places were girls who could discuss their relatives.

It is true that the Xu family is a noble family. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a family that cannot be afforded. However, in front of the royal nobles, none of the girls present is qualified to marry into the official family. For example, the Shen family has no share of being a concubine.
