Zhu Fang nodded with difficulty. Obviously, they all lived too comfortably without Xiao Jing, so when they heard that he was back, it was difficult to smile on everyone's faces.
Xie Wanyu sighed slightly.
At this point, she had no choice but to go home.
"Okay, let's just clean up a little. Let's go back and stay for two days. Let Peizhi also clean up a little while we go back to deal with errands. We won't stay here for a long time." Xie Wanyu said with a yawn.
"Yes." Zhu Fang responded.
In everyone's hearts, Panyun Mountain has long been regarded as home. Not only Xie Wanyu, but also others do not want to go back to the smoky Hou Mansion.
After a brief tidying up, the group set off.
But Xie Wanyu kept Xie Fengya and Cuiyu.
Now that Panyunshan's business is booming, she has to leave someone to look after her.
Xie Fengya was originally a little interested in Xiao Jing, but later found out that he was soft-hearted and ineffective, so she had no interest in him.
As Xie Fengya moved more and saw more, Xiao Jing could no longer satisfy her ambition.
Therefore, she is also willing to stay in Panyun Mountain, and also has Cuiyu as her companion.
By the time Xie Wanyu arrived at the Hou Mansion, it was already afternoon.
Although there was only one more person, the Hou Mansion seemed to be even more lively than usual, with the maids and servants all busy running back and forth.
Xie Wanyu went back to the room to tidy up, and then took Zhufang to Tai'antang.
Although she had such trouble with this family, she was still a member of the Xiao family, and she still had to have the proper etiquette.
Tai'an Hall.
Mrs. Xiao sat on the main seat and held Xiao Jing's hand, "You only ate so much for lunch. You need to eat more for dinner. Grandma will cook in person and make your favorite fresh bamboo shoots and ribs."
"Grandma, just hearing the name of the dish you mentioned makes me greedy." Xiao Jing is very good at talking.
Mrs. Xiao was so happy that she couldn't help but smile, "I knew you liked it. Don't worry, I've already sent someone to dig bamboo shoots in the backyard. I guarantee they'll be fresh."
"Thank you, grandma." Xiao Jing said.
Xiao Yinshuang sat on the other side of Xiao Jing and took the opportunity to say, "Xie Wanyu will be back soon, don't forget what you should say."
"I promised eldest sister just now at the dinner table, how could I forget." Xiao Jing patted her chest, "Don't worry, it's not her turn to make the decision in this family."
Hearing what Xiao Jing said, Xiao Yinshuang smiled.
She couldn't help but feel a little proud. After all, this family's surname was Xiao, and Xiao Jing was as obedient as before, but she didn't believe how arrogant Xie Wanyu could be.
Xue Xuening sat opposite, with a smile on her face, staring at Xiao Jing.
It's just that Xiao Jing looked at her very little and was kept pestered by Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yinshuang.
Xue Xuening looked out the window. She was looking forward to the evening now. Xiao Jing would definitely go to her at night, and then she would slowly tell her thoughts and the pain of these days.
She grabbed the veil and reached out to stroke her carefully tied bun.
Just then, Xie Wanyu walked in with Zhu Fang.
Because she was in a hurry to come back, Xie Wanyu just tied a high bun on the back of her head without much decoration. It was fixed with two hostas. She wore a goose-yellow dress with dark patterns and held a round fan in her hand.
"Greetings to grandma." She bent her knees slightly and then faced Xiao Jing.
The two looked at each other.
Xie Wanyu looked at Xiao Jing. She hadn't seen him in half a year. Compared with the thinness before, he was now much stronger, and his skin had changed from fair to wheat-colored.
The whole person looked much more determined, and his eyes became sharp.
"Long blessing, Lord Marquis." Xie Wanyu nodded slightly and saluted.
Compared with Xie Wanyu's gaze, Xiao Jing's gaze was a bit revealing. He glanced at Xie Wanyu from top to bottom.
Looking at her slender neck and graceful figure, a woman in her twenties is more mature than a teenage girl, and her body is more curvy.
His eyes were scanning eagerly, and there was a vague smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Xie Wanyu was not used to it, because Xiao Jing would not be like this at all before. It must be because the people in Northern Xinjiang are simple and honest, and the army is full of rough men. He is also close to the red, and he is not as respectful and polite as before. .
"Eldest sister, eldest sister-in-law." Xie Wanyu greeted them one by one.
Mrs. Xiao then said, "You know how to come back. Sit down."
Xie Wanyu smiled, "Grandma also knows that the business in Panyun Mountain is so good now that I don't have time to come back. It's not just to supplement the family income."
"You said it nicely. Have you given us money?" Xiao Yinshuang was waiting for this sentence.
"Why, I gave three hundred taels, isn't it enough for the family to spend? Or is the eldest sister interested in something valuable again?" Xie Wanyu asked with raised eyebrows.
Although Xiao Jing is back, it does not mean that she can be weak and bullied.
Xiao Yinshuang knew that she could not defeat Xie Wanyu, so she turned her attention to Xiao Jing.
"Wanyu, why do you think this is my eldest sister? Have you forgotten all the rules you learned in the Xie family? You are so rude!" Like a big patriarch, he scolded Xie Wanyu.
Only then did Xie Wanyu understand that it was rare for Xiao Jing to come back, so these people were waiting for Xiao Jing's support.
Looking at their eyes, Xie Wanyu felt a little ridiculous. She should be the person closest to her, but now she was helping others to bully her.
"Master Hou, I just told the truth, where was the rudeness in my words?" Xie Wanyu asked.
"You are so arrogant," Xiao Jing said, "Also, you should leave Panyun Mountain to the eldest sister. She is now helping my grandmother manage the house, and all the business in the house should be handed over to her."
He seemed to take it for granted.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but find it ridiculous, "Master Hou has only been out for a few months and is used to giving orders in the army, so he can't change it when he returns home?"
Her voice was cold and her face showed disdain.
"Xie Wanyu, you have to know your own position." Xiao Jing said domineeringly.
Xiao Yinshuang was so happy that she wanted to give Xiao Jing a thumbs up.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but feel helpless and could only say patiently, "Master Hou, you gave me Panyun Mountain. When you gave it to me, it was just a dilapidated mountain. These days, I make money only when I contribute money and effort." After paying some money, why should I give it to my family? Or does the Marquis regret giving things to others? "
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are no longer a family?" Xiao Jing said with a guilty conscience.
Xie Wanyu twitched her lips, "I am not a cruel person, so I will give my family three hundred taels as a subsidy every month. If you insist on Panyun Mountain, then I will demolish it. What was it like before? I will return it to its original state, and then you will spend your own money to repair it, and I can’t afford the three hundred taels per month."
After she finished speaking, she leaned back on the chair, looking like she had broken a jar.
Xiao Yinshuang said immediately, "Don't believe her, she won't let it go."
"I, Xie Wanyu, have a lot of money. If Panyun Mountain is demolished here, I can afford to buy a few Panyun Mountains." Xie Wanyu said.
