Nightwatcher Chapter 210: Wang Simu’s shock

Aunt Xiaodouding drove out of the hall and could only play alone in the courtyard.

My aunt coughed and smiled at my nephew, "Well, Ning Yan, I remember you cooked a few dishes in the kitchen last time. The styles and tastes are very unique. Well, my aunt thinks that Miss Wang is Shoufu daughter, I am used to eating delicacies and seafood, and occasionally eat something different......"

"Oh, I'll go to the room to teach a chef."

Xu Qi'an is looking forward to the good show for a while, and now he will agree to any request from his aunt.

On the other side, after Xiao Douding was driven out of the hall, he played in the yard alone for a while, felt bored, and ran to her sister Xu Lingyue's room.

Seeing that autumn is coming, Xu Lingyue is making autumn clothes for her beloved elder brother. The material used is the brocade bestowed by Emperor Yuan Jing.

Xu Lingyue's needlework is outstanding, and the gowns she makes are better-looking and delicate than those bought in the shops outside.

Li Miaozhen brought the female ghost Su Su to help. Of course, the Heavenly Sect Saintess would not be a female actress, but when Su Su was still alive, she was a serious lady.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and needlework are essential skills.

In the past few years, Li Miaozhen’s clothes, and even his bellyband, were made by Su Su with the help of the female ghost under his hand.

Xu Lingyue glanced at her sister who had climbed up to the table to get the cakes, embroidering patterns and softly said:

"Ring tone, do you want to have a sister-in-law?"

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

"The sister-in-law is the second elder brother's wife. In the future, she will take care of the family's money." Xu Lingyue said softly.

Xu Lingyin gave a "Oh", not yet at the age to realize the importance of economic power, but Su Su sneered:

"What Miss Lingyue said was your second brother's salary, which supported the Xu family's expenses? Your mother bought rare flowers and plants, and she often spent more than ten taels of silver. Who made the silver?"

Xu Lingyue pursed her mouth, and smiled lightly: "It's the silver earned by the elder brother."

The Xu family made a fortune three times. One time was the time when the Linglong went crazy. Xu Qi'an had done a good job in saving Lin'an, and Emperor Yuanjing rewarded him with a fortune. The other time was the time of knighthood, and there was also a large sum of silver and good land.

During the two fortunes, Xu Lingyue bought a number of shops, selling good-looking, silk and groceries. These shops are in name by aunts, but Xu Lingyue actually controls them.

The third time it made its fortune was the money distributed by the Essence Chicken Workshop at the beginning of the year. This is an unimaginable amount of money that directly gave the Xu family a golden mountain.

If it weren’t for too much money, a woman like her aunt, who is a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, wouldn’t burn money and grow flowers from time to time.

Of course, the apparent property of the Xu family does not include the private money that Xu Qi'an hid in the fragments of the ground book.

Official silver, gold ingots, and treasures treasured by Cao Guogong are enough to pile up a small treasure mountain.

Su Su "hum" twice, plausibly: "So, even if you want to take care of the mansion's money in the future, it must be Xu Ningyan's wife."

A sharp light flashed in Xu Lingyue's eyes, and she smiled and said: "Ms. Susu thinks, among the people you know, who is the best match for my elder brother?"

Su Su cleverly avoided Xu Lingyue's death questioning, muttered:

"I don't know this, your eldest brother is romantic and lustful, and he is willing to spend eight thousand taels to redeem his life for the oiran of Jiaofang..."

These words hit Xu Lingyue's sore spot.

Xu Lingyue, this girl, suspects that Su Su and his elder brother have an adulterous affair, her instinct is really keen.... Su Su is not bad either, she used eight thousand taels to pierce Xu Lingyue's heart with her backhand. .........The Tianzong Saintess sat aside, eating cakes and watching the play leisurely.

Xu Lingyin ate cakes in her sister’s room for a while. She didn’t understand what the adults said and felt bored. So she ran out with a ruler for cutting fabrics and waved the ruler in the yard, hehe thick, as if she were Swordswoman in the arena.

Playing all the way to the gate of Xu's mansion, seeing the middle door that was previously closed open, Xu Lingyin lost the ruler, climbed the high threshold, opened his arms, and played balance on it.

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

Lao Zhang, the porter, waved his hand.

Xu Lingyin stood on the threshold, trying to maintain balance, tilted his head and asked: "Is it my second brother's wife?"

"........" The concierge old Zhang was speechless and waved again.

Xu Lingyin tilted his head and fell from the high threshold, patted his **** and ran away happily.

............

On the other side, with wheels and wheels, Wang Simu's luxurious carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of Xu's house.

The maid took out the stool from under the carriage and greeted the lady to get off.

Wang Simu glanced at the door of Xu's mansion and nodded slightly. Although it was nowhere near the imperially gifted mansion of the Wang family, the Xu family's financial resources were still very rich when buying such a large mansion in this prosperous area of ​​the inner city.

For many years in charge of the royal family's finances, Wang Simu estimated that the house was worth at least 7,000 taels after just a glance.

Lao Zhang, the concierge, knew that the distinguished guest had arrived, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, leading Wang Simu and his personal servant girl into the house.

Wang Simu took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and crossed the threshold...

Suddenly, Wang Simu stepped on something on the sole of his foot, and looked down, it was a ruler.

The ruler symbolizes the rules, and the mother of the Xu family threw the ruler at the door. It was obviously prepared for me. This is to set the rules for me... Wang Simu's face changed slightly.

Xin said that the mistress of the Xu family is very domineering and hard to get along with.

Seeing her stop, the maid asked: "Miss, what's the matter?"

"Nothing," Wang Simu said in a flat tone: "The ruler fell here, pick it up, and send it back to others."

It's not necessarily a beating, it may also be the temptation of the Xu family's mistress. After all, my father is the first assistant, and really married Erlang, which is considered to be married. She was afraid that I was a domineering character, so she threw a ruler to test.

If I were really a stubborn and willful daughter, I would be furious, but I obviously wouldn't be so superficial...

She didn't plan to fight with the mother of the Xu family today. The so-called knowing oneself, knowing each other and winning every battle, she came to spy on intelligence today.

First find out the ways and temperament of Xu's mistress, before deciding how to get along in the future, that mistress seems to be trying as she thought.

Sure enough, he is a master.

Lao Zhang led the distinguished guests to go inside, while letting the servants from the mansion inform Miss Lingyue.

Wang Simu walked through the outer courtyard and entered the inner courtyard when he happened to see Xu Lingyue greet him with a smile.

Sister Xu's sister wears a long dress of pink color, a simple and elegant hair bun, her melon-seed face is beautiful and refined, her facial features are very strong, but she is also weak that a man loves.

"Sister Wang, since the last poem meeting, I have not had time to invite you to the mansion. Today I finally got what I wanted." Xu Lingyue smiled clear and sweet.

"Speaking of it, my sister fell into the water during the poem meeting, and my sister has been in trouble." Wang Simu smiled dignified and gentle.

The two women hold each other's hands, as if they are good sisters who love each other and have deep feelings.

Entering the inner hall, Wang Simu finally saw the legendary Xu family mistress, she was sitting in the master seat with a smile, looking at herself kindly.

She is so amazing, with a sharp face with melon seeds and exquisite features. At first glance, she is not like Xu Lingyue's mother next to her, but more like her sister.

Wang Simu was both surprised and not surprised by the beauty of the mistress of the Xu family, because just by referring to Xu Lingyue next to him and the admired Xu Erlang, he could probably guess the beauty of this mistress.

She was surprised that the mistress took care of it so well, she couldn't tell that she was the mother of three children.

"Mrs. Xu!"

Wang Simu Yingying giving a gift.

"Miss Wang, you are welcome, please sit down."

With a reserved smile, the aunt motioned Wang Simu to take her seat.

Of course, she can't be too enthusiastic. After all, this is a prospective daughter-in-law, so her mother-in-law still has the air.

After Wang Simu took his seat, he looked at the close-fitting maid with a gentle smile: "When I entered the mansion, I saw a ruler at the door and asked the maid to pick it up."

Wait after the maid puts the ruler on the table.

My aunt was taken aback, "Huh, Lingyue, this is your ruler, why did you leave it at the door?"

Xu Lingyue took a closer look and found that it was her ruler, and she said: "It must have been the ringtone that was lost there. She just took my ruler to play."

What a powerful method, it left me speechless..........Wang Simu smiled reluctantly, she could not say that it was not for a child.

Next, Wang Simu asked Hucong to give gifts. Because he was going to eat here, he brought some precious pastries, and some jewelry for his aunt and Lingyue.

This jewellery is not ordinary jewellery, it is the work of craftsmen in the imperial city who specially made jewellery for harem concubines.

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

She only said that it was made by craftsmen in the imperial city. What this means is that all wealthy daughters and women with a little knowledge know it in their hearts.

"Miss Wang is interested."

Auntie was very happy to receive the jewelry.

When Wang's prostitute saw this, she realized that her little trick was not enough to surprise the mistress.

............

Outside the hall, Xu Lingyin found her eldest brother sitting on a bench in the corridor, listening attentively, and ran over: "Cauldron, what are you doing."

"Big Brother is watching the play...No, listening to the play." Xu Qi'an touched her head.

"I want to listen too." Xu Lingyin waved his arms.

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

Xu Lingyin also pretended to listen.

Miss Wang's combat power is this? Well, after all, I didn’t get married. It’s understandable to be polite and reserved, but it’s too kind to make a fortune...

As far as I know about Miss Wang, she should be a very assertive and powerful person. It is impossible not to test her aunt's level...

Why hasn't she shot yet, I'm waiting for her auntie.........

............

In the hall, Wang Simu chatted with the mother of the Xu family and Xu Lingyue without any flaws.

After a period of probing, Wang Simu was surprised to find that this Xu family mistress was not as unpredictable as she thought.

Wang Simu is a little expert in house fighting, and has a keen sense of smell for the same kind, but in the Xu family's mistress, she did not find any similar characteristics.

She has a relatively straightforward character, she is blind to her own temptation, as if she doesn't know how to fight intrigue. And, it seems that because of her status as the first assistant daughter, she is very polite to her, for fear of improper reception.

For example, when we talked about rouge gouache, I immediately lost the posture of the elders, chattering endlessly, like a little girl.

I even complained that the account books of the outside shop were not easy to understand, so I could only ask Xu Lingyue to help manage it.

No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like that kind of superb woman.

Wang Simu was deeply confused.

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

Because I can't figure out the depth of Xu's mistress for the time being, Wang Simu also wanted to go out and relax, change his mentality, and wait for the opportunity to fight again.

The scale of Xu's Mansion is not as large as that of the Royal Mansion, but it is also a two-entry compound. Both the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are equipped with gardens and small ponds, and the aunt is a flower lover.

There are many precious flowers and trees planted in the flower garden.

As a daughter of a top family, Wang Simu knows that only people with a solid family will have leisure and financial resources to cultivate precious flowers and plants.

So I looked at the Xu family's wealth.

In the courtyard, Xiaodouding was punching, and Lina was sitting on the stone chair, chewing on her elbows, and guiding her apprentice.

"That's the melody of the girl's sister." Xu Lingyue introduced with a smile.

I only heard Erlang mention it, but he seemed unwilling to introduce this child..........Wang Simu nodded slightly and said: "Sister Lingyin is practicing martial arts?"

"Yes," Xu Lingyue sighed:

"The only second elder brother in the family is a scholar, but the second elder brother has a heavy school work and has not had time to teach her. Sending her to school, she was bullied, and my mother was helpless, so I just let her practice martial arts."

Miss Wang frowned. This is not good. The woman still has to read a book wisely. The more knowledgeable and reasonable, the better you can marry a good family in the future.

She thought for a while and said: "If you don't hate it, I can help sister Lingyin enlighten."

Xu Lingyue smiled sweetly: "Thank you Sister Simu."

Wang Simu gave a small smile. If he could become Xu Lingyin's enlightenment teacher, he would definitely gain some respect from his family and show his talents.

Xu Lingyue said again: "In this family, my mother's biggest headache is the ringtone. I can't help her."

Xu Lingyin is the weakness of Xu's mistress.........Wang Simu quickly extracted the core elements.

Since the Xu family’s mistress is unfathomable, I learned about the enemy from the Xu family.

At this moment, she listened to Lina scolding the disciple: "You are so stupid, and you can't learn a few sets of boxing skills. When can you lift the stone table?"

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

Then she saw Lina "squeeze" the stone table with two fingers, freely.

".........."

Wang Simu reluctantly smiled: "That girl is..."

"Oh, her name is Lina, a girl from the Southern Xinjiang Gu clan. She lives in the mansion for the time being~IndoMTL.com~ teaches Lingyin and martial arts." Xu Lingyue said.

"He is a serious teacher with real skills." Wang Simu said.

The two turned around the corner of the gallery and saw Xu Qi'an and Zhong Li sitting on the eaves, basking in the sun, and whispering.

Wang Simu moved in his heart and tentatively said: "I heard that Xu Yinluo's parents died early. In order to train him to become a man, Mrs. Xu must rack her brains and work hard."

"Isn't it."

Xu Lingyue sighed lightly and said: "When I was a child, my father had to let her elder brother learn martial arts. My mother disagreed and wanted him to study like her second brother. For this reason, my father and mother have been competing for many years." /

Great! ! Wang Simu was amazed.

The entire Dafeng knew that Xu Ningyan was the seed of reading, and even his father Wang Zhenwen had such emotions as "If this son is a scholar".

But because the second uncle of the Xu family insisted on letting Xu Qi'an practice martial arts, he wasted the seed of an amazing and brilliant reading.

Unexpectedly, the mistress of the Xu family had been able to recognize beads many years ago.

Xu Lingyue continued: "When I was young, my eldest brother and my mother were at odds with each other and quarreled from time to time. Angrily, they moved out of the house and lived in the adjacent courtyard for five years. Until they moved to the inner city, The family will continue to live together."

What? !

Even Xu Qi'an can't beat Xu's mistress?

Even the unruly and rebellious Xu Yinluo who was stuck at the Meridian Gate and yelled at the princes at the Meridian Gate, and the rebellious Xu Yinluo was forced to move out of the Xu mansion when he was young... ..

Only then did Wang Simu realize that everything before that was a disguise, the so-called frankness, the so-called not good at fighting, everything just now was deliberately revealed by the mother of the Xu family.

Wang Simu breathed sharply, his face more serious than ever.
