Luliu briefly clarified the relationship between Xiao Yi and Chu Mingzhu!
Just because of the humiliation of the family's decline, Chu Jinyu, the incompetent Anlehou, was not mentioned!
When Mrs. Xiao and others heard that Xiao Yi was actually related to the princess, they didn't know if Jin Yu's child was born to the princess.
I kept hearing Xiao Yi say that the child's mother was dead, and thinking that the child was probably not the child of the princess, she was afraid that mentioning it would affect the princess' mood when she went back.
That's the princess! What a valuable person! Because it is not a crime for a kid to offend, so he never mentions it.
So Chu Jinyu actually missed it in their conversation, so that until Luliu and the others left, no one in the Xiao family knew that the child they had never seen had actually become Anlehou!
Of course, Luliu didn't know that Chu Jinyu had followed her all the way and was looking for Xie Yushu. At the moment, she was only focused on coaxing Mrs. Xiao and leaving a good impression on her master in front of her future mother-in-law.
I thought Xiao Yi had such a tough and upright temperament, but most of his parents were poor and determined old men and women who were neither humble nor arrogant. They must be sensible people at the end of the day!
Luliu was still trembling in fear all the way, thinking about how to please her without leaving a trace, which would not only give the Xiao family their dignity, but also leave their things and money decently.
As a result, when they met, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yan's fawning words were almost at her feet, and they naturally looked down upon them.
Just accept the money, and you don’t have to work hard. You are tired of acting, and you have enough posture. Just give me a smile and they will stick to it!
After finding the correct position, Luliu cleared his throat and said with a standard smile.
"Old madam, Miss Xiao, I am Luliu, the eldest maid of our princess. These are the guards of the house. In the car are some gifts that our princess brought for you and the master, as well as some silver coins.
Our princess heard that there was a drought here and was afraid that life would be difficult, so she specially asked us to send it here. Do you think? "
When Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yan heard Luliu call her "Old Madam" and "Miss", they grinned up to their ears with joy, their bodies became a little lighter, and they hurriedly and enthusiastically went to the courtyard to invite them.
"Oh! The princess is really kind-hearted. Even though you are so far away, you are specially sent to see us. We, Xiao Yi, can win the eyes of the old general and the princess. We are really lucky to have cultivated in eight lifetimes!
Oh, come on in, come on in!
Old man, come out quickly! Our son is on his way to success! We have a distinguished guest at home! "
Old Mrs. Xiao first looked at the crowd of onlookers with a sullen face and deliberately loudly showed off, then turned back to greet Old Man Xiao to come out.
Old Mrs. Xiao's voice shocked not only Old Man Xiao, but also Xie Yujiao and Xiao Dayong's family.
Xie Yujiao was hiding in her yard. When she heard what the princess said about the gifts and money, she immediately came over with wind at her feet. When she saw a carriage and a beauty, and there were guards following her, she immediately came forward.
"Hey! Mom, our family has made a noble friend!"
Xiao Dayong's family watched from a distance.
Just as old man Xiao came out, Widow Liu also put down her work and followed.
Seeing Old Man Xiao coming, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly introduced
"This girl said they were sent by the princess to see us!
They said that our second child was an apprentice trained by the princess's father herself, and she fell in love with our second child. You said that the second child was the same. He fell in the eyes of the old general and the princess outside, but he didn't even say a word to us when he came back!
I should have told you earlier, we had to visit the old general first, didn’t we? "
Seeing her virtuous attitude, Lu Liu would have known better if she had gone to catch the autumn wind earlier!
But after thinking about it, when I saw Old Man Xiao, I still pretended to be respectful and bowed to him and said,
"Hello, sir!"
Old man Xiao also changed his past dullness and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, you guys came all the way, you must be tired, come in and have a rest.
Mrs. Liu, go prepare a meal and kill two chickens to entertain the guests! "
Although Lu Liu and several guards are servants, they are still used to eating chicken, duck and fish. How can they afford a peasant meal? Moreover, the courtyard is in a mess. Widow Liu came to cook a meal last night. She has finished her work today. After breakfast, they had to wash the pile of clothes they had piled up. The yard had not been cleaned yet. The yard was full of chicken, duck and goose feces. It was disgusting to see it. She didn't want to stay here for a moment longer.
But for the sake of face, I still said politely.
"Master, there is no need to go to such trouble. The princess has other tasks for us, and we don't have time to stay for long. We will leave later!
You guys, carry your things to the house for me and my wife! "
Those few people had the same idea as Luliu. After hearing this, they lifted the boxes from the car to Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Xiao's house with their feet raised!
Luliu was also warmly invited into the house by Mrs. Xiao, Xie Yujiao, and Xiao Yan.
Passing by Xiao Dayong's family, Luliu asked
"Who are these?"
Before Xiao Dayong and Mrs. Li could answer, Mrs. Xiao waved her hands and said
"They're just unfilial sons in the family, don't worry about them! Let's go inside and talk!"
Then he went into the house with Lvliu in his arms.
Xiao Dayong didn't care when he saw this, and went straight back to his room.
Mr. Li was puzzled.
"What is the second child doing?
Since there is a princess appointed outside, why should she marry Yushu and then leave without saying a word?
What are you, the old Xiao family, doing? "
Xiao Dayong was also confused and couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.
"Let them like it as they like, let's live our own lives!"
On the other side, Luliu was warmly invited into the house by Mrs. Xiao and others. She was allowed to sit on the kang and given a bowl of hot water.
Looking at the jet black coarse porcelain bowl, Lu Liu took a sip and then put it down!
Although she was embarrassed around the princess, this family was the future in-laws of the princess, so she did not dare to be too presumptuous. After sitting for a while, she said a few good words about Chu Mingzhu, and then introduced Chu Mingzhu to them one by one. What Mingzhu brought them
"This box is a variety of pastries that our princess has brought to you, all of which are specialties of the capital city!
This one contains wine, which is also the most popular wine in Beijing!
In this box are the supplements our princess specially brought to the master and the old lady, including high-quality bird's nests, white fungus, lotus seeds and so on. You and I can make porridge and eat it every day. It is the most nourishing!
There is also this big box, which contains several bolts of popular fabrics, which are thick and beautiful. Your elders, the young master and the young ladies at home, and the ladies are the best at making clothes and coats!
Our princess does not know the specific situation here, so she is afraid that the preparations are not complete enough, so she asked the servant to bring a hundred taels of silver to honor you and your elders. If this family is short of anything, or if the young master and ladies need anything, you and your elders can buy some more yourself! "
As Lu Liu said that, he took out a hundred taels of silver notes from his sleeve and placed them in front of Old Man Xiao and Old Mrs. Xiao!
Old man Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Yan and Xie Yujiao laughed from ear to ear when they looked at the boxes of gifts. When they saw the one hundred taels of silver notes, their eyes went straight!
