"My sister is pregnant, does Mrs. Luo know?" Qin Zhixing said directly.
Xu Shichu blurted out: "The child is not mine!" After saying this, she realized that she had spoken quickly. Alas, it was all because she had too many weird things in her mind.
Qin Zhixing's face turned dark when he heard her words, and said: "I didn't say it was Madam's, I just wanted to mention it to Madam Luo. For the sake of my sister being pregnant with the next generation of the Luo family, please be more considerate to her." one time."
"Oh, don't worry, as long as she doesn't appear in front of me, I won't remember her at all." Xu Shichu was very magnanimous.
Qin Zhixing's face became darker. He could tell that these words were not meant to praise his sister, but he could only pretend not to hear it and said: "The lady will definitely not interfere in the affairs of her room and give her brother-in-law a room. A girl?"
Xu Shichu's beautiful eyes widened: "Why do you think I'm free enough to do such a thankless thing?"
Qin Zhixing choked. Xu Shichu looked disgusted. He must not have taken his sister seriously at all. If that was the case, why would he want to take revenge on her?
Seeing her like this, Qin Zhixing was relieved, but he still held a breath in his heart, always feeling that Xu Shichu meant to look down on his sister.
"Is this what you're asking me for?" Xu Shichu was not interested in wasting time with him here.
Seeing her impatient look, Qin Zhixing nodded.
"I'm not interested in her affairs. Just take care of your sister and don't let her cause trouble in front of me. Goodbye!" Xu Shichu said, turned back to his carriage, and left without hesitation.
Qin Zhixing thought for a while and felt that it would be better for him to go to his sister in person and tell her not to mess with her step-mother-in-law, so he followed Xu Shichu to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xu Shichu didn't know what the Qin brothers and sisters said when they met. She planned to find another piece of land in the capital to build a house.
With the birth of the next generation of the Luo family, the Prime Minister's Mansion will become more and more lively. With more people, there will be more troubles. What's more, the next generation of the Luo family's mistress can't stand her, so the children born by the mistress will naturally also He doesn't like her, he just thinks she is an outsider occupying a magpie's nest.
In order to avoid being kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future - of course, this possibility is very small, unless Luo Changqing and Luo Rui are no longer alive, and the Luo family will be run by their descendants.
But people must have a sense of crisis, and Du Zhao will grow up in more than ten years. He is not from the Luo family. It will be inconvenient for him to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion when he grows up. It will be even less likely for him to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion when he gets married. , Therefore, even in order for Du Zhao to have a legitimate home, Xu Shichu had to build a house of his own.
She can build her own house whatever she wants. Xu Shichu doesn't intend to make do with it. After all, this is where she wants to live for the rest of her life.
Xu Shichu decided to build a house in the capital. Of course, it would not be close to the places where dignitaries lived in the inner city. Those without power could not afford to live in those places. Xu Shichu was just a mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion who did not live up to her name. If she moved away from the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, then There is really only one name left, and it will depend on whether Du Zhao can live up to his expectations. If he can live up to his expectations, he will not be able to live in the inner city. If he does not live up to his expectations, he will not be qualified to live there.
Therefore, Xu Shichu felt that it would be more appropriate to build her house in a place where wealthy businessmen and petty officials gathered. After all, the land there was not too expensive and she could afford it. The security was much better than in the slums, and the environment was more suitable.
…
Time flies by, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Shichu's house has been generally repaired. To be more precise, the house is not like a house, but more like a manor. Xu Shichu simply calls it "Xu Garden".
Xu Garden occupies a vast area - after all, all kinds of flowers, plants and trees are planted in it; it is magnificent - there is no shortage of carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions, rockeries and ponds.
Xu Shichu is a person who loves to enjoy herself. She earns money to build her own garden. Of course, it must be built to meet her own requirements. After Xu Yuan was built, Xu Shichu only brought Du Zhao to visit. Although the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion knew that she had been building her own house, they gradually forgot about it after so many years of construction without hearing that it was completed.
"Auntie, are we going to transplant the flowers, plants and trees from the Prime Minister's Mansion to Xu Garden?" Du Zhao, who was already twelve years old and had grown into a young boy, asked as he looked at the exquisite and beautiful manor in front of him but it was bare everywhere.
Xu Shichu looked at the house she built with her own hands with satisfaction. Although it was still empty, she was still very happy and said, "Of course! But there is no rush. There are too many flowers and plants in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so we have to plant them one by one." Click here. Of course, it depends on your ability. When will you pass the Jinshi exam and be able to leave the prime minister's house and be independent, then when will my flowers and plants be transplanted."
Du Zhao nodded, with a solemn expression on his still childish but already very handsome face: "I understand, aunt, I can take the scholar exam starting this year, and I can take the Jinshi exam in three years. By then I will be fifteen." Now that you are old, you can leave the Prime Minister’s Mansion and be independent.”
When Xu Shichu saw his serious look, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry. Take your time. After all, the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't drive us away."
Du Zhao looked disappointed, shook his head and said, "Auntie, although Mr. Xiang and Cousin Luo never meant to drive us away, Luo Yan and his mother didn't think so."
Luo Yan is the son of Luo Rui and the eldest grandson of Luo Changqing. He is now five years old. However, he has not inherited the intelligence and agility of his grandfather and father at all. Instead, his personality is more like Qin Mei, willful, stupid, arrogant and arrogant. No matter how hard you teach, you will never change your stubbornness.
Xu Shichu and Du Zhao rarely saw him, but when he was a child, Luo Changqing would occasionally take him to Xu Shichu's garden to play, and they got along with him a few times. But at that time, Luo Changqing was watching, and Xu Shichu didn't notice him. Because of his nature, I thought he was quite good.
Unfortunately, when he could walk and run, and started running around the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Shichu knew that he was a demon king.
Three days ago, he wanted to break into Xu Shichu's garden. When Xu Shichu saw that there was no adult with him, he refused to let him in. Unexpectedly, Luo Yan started to make a fuss.
Not only did he order his slaves to knock on the door, but he also arrogantly cursed Xu Shichu at the door with his hands on his hips and his head raised, calling her a vixen and a bitch who occupies the latrine and doesn't shit. He also said that her garden belonged to the prime minister's house. It's not hers at all, she has no right to occupy it... He said that when he grows up, he must drive away this shameless woman...
A child who was only five years old could curse so badly. Not only Xu Shichu, but also the servants and maids around Luo Yan were dumbfounded. They had no idea that their little master would curse like this. Vulgar words come.
