The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

"Hey, mother, why are you here? Is this... Youxin?"

Xue Youlin came back from outside the house and was surprised to see his mother talking to his concubine in the east courtyard with a smile on her face.

You must know that his mother has always disliked seeing her younger brothers and younger sisters, and felt that their existence was just to annoy her.

Normally I don't even want to see them, let alone give them a good look.

What's going on today...

What surprised him even more was Xue Youxin. He had only been out for more than half a month, and he almost didn't recognize this concubine. In my impression, Xue Youxin lowered his head every time he saw his elders or his brothers and sisters, and he was obedient and sincere when asking questions. He had never been like this before - when he spoke to his mother, he had a straight back, neither humble nor arrogant, and his movements were full of confidence. .

This confused Xue Youlin: What happened in the house while he was away from home?

How could the second wife dare to explain to her son why she was in the front yard right now? Apart from her and her mother-in-law's family, no one else in her husband's family knew about the loan. If they knew, they would probably think she was greedy for money.

So he waved his hand to Xue Youxin: "Youxin, go ahead and think about it after you go back. I have absolutely no intention of alienating you from the east courtyard. I really want to fight for you."

After Xue Youxin left, she warmly greeted her son back to the west courtyard: "Lin'er, you're back! Did you go well with the errands for the Sixth Prince? Let's go! I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some of your favorite dishes for you, and I'll find your eldest brother later too. Come, you two brothers have a nice drink."

"Mom, something happened in the east courtyard?" Xue Youlin pointed in the direction of the east courtyard and asked in a low voice, "Is it my cousin..."

"Where are you thinking?" The second lady looked dumbfounded, "If your cousin is like that... Well, why don't you hang a white gauze at the door of the house? He is still the same, but he will probably be around soon. I just said There's no point in trying to get married. I should have known better than to marry the Xu family, but now I'm fine..."

She told all the big and small things that happened in the house while her son was away from home, and finally said with an annoyed look:

"In short, the East Courtyard has never been quiet since the time the Xu family came to the family. Your eldest aunt is really too lazy to take care of it herself. She actually handed over the decision-making power of the East Courtyard to her daughter-in-law who just passed away. It would be really annoying to leave it alone..."

After hearing the general idea, Xue Youlin understood in his heart: No wonder Youxin has changed so much, and his eldest aunt is treating him as a half legitimate son and raising him.

If this is true, it's definitely a good thing for him.

It is absolutely impossible for the old lady to pass on the title to a mere bastard.

That’s it for the east courtyard!

But this matter will be discussed in detail later. At the moment, he has no time to talk to his mother.

I just rushed back from the city after doing some errands for the Sixth Prince. It was a long and tiring journey, so I planned to freshen up first, and then wait for the old lady to take a lunch break before visiting her again. She had to go to the Prince's Mansion to return to work tomorrow morning, so she might meet again. Come back with an errand.

To be honest, he was a little tired of running errands for the Sixth Prince, especially when he was extremely tired, he would inevitably feel confused:

Was it the same thing when my cousin was running errands for the Fourth Prince? ——It seems that he is busy in and out and exhausted to death, but in fact, he is not doing important things that only his close friends have the opportunity to contact.

Look at all the errands he has been doing for the Sixth Prince recently.

Either they were looking for women who could not be accommodated in the house, or they were secretly sending the illegitimate children born to the sixth prince to the south to avoid being discovered by the jealous sixth prince and drowning in a bucket of urine...

But in order to win the old lady's favor and secure her position as the future head of the Xue Mansion, she had no choice but to grit her teeth.

I hope he did not see the wrong person or follow the wrong master. The sixth prince will definitely inherit the throne in the future, not other princes, otherwise...

Xue Youlin shook his head, not daring to think further, otherwise he would feel that his busy life in the past few years was a fucking joke.

The second wife didn't know that her son was distracted, and she was worried that there was no one to whom she could pour her sorrows. The eldest son is either sitting in the study writing and drawing all day long, or he is out of the house and chatting with his close friends. There is no shadow. It is rare to see the youngest son who has been most loved by the old lady in the past two years. He is back, but you can't hold him and treat him well. After complaining and complaining in the east courtyard, he scolded the little beast Xue Yousheng for disrespecting his aunt. "Lin'er, you don't know, that little beast Xue Yousheng has rebelled recently..."

"Mom, I'm tired. I have to see the old lady later, and I want to go back and wash up first."

Xue Youlin absorbed the information that was useful to him. As for those useless parents, he listened impatiently and interrupted the second lady's chattering.

He was so busy that he hit the back of his head with his heels. He didn't even have time to see Xiao Qingmei, who he grew up with, and he didn't have time to listen to his mother gossiping about other people.

The second wife felt sorry for her son. When she heard what he said, she immediately stopped talking: "Okay, okay, go and wash up quickly. I'll ask the kitchen to bring you some hot food."

"Excuse me, mother."

In that room, Xue Youxin returned to the east courtyard and saw Xu Yin instructing his servants to transplant old trees and vines, so he went to help.

After transplanting, Xu Yin invited him and Xue Wenlan to have afternoon tea together.

Xue Youxin mentioned that he had just met Xue Youlin in the front yard. He had returned from doing errands for the sixth prince.

Xue Youxin once envied his brothers. It was such an honor to be able to run errands for the princes.

It is a pity that he comes from a humble background. Even if he succeeds in the scientific examination, he is at best a local official and it is difficult for him to enter the circle of relatives of the emperor.

But for some reason, when he saw Xue Youlin today, he felt extremely peaceful and couldn't feel any envy. On the contrary, his mood was a bit complicated.

This may be related to the content of the errand that the Sixth Prince ordered Xue Youlin to run overheard a month ago.

It was also that time that he realized that Xue Youlin seemed to be following the sixth prince in a graceful manner, just like the deep friendship between his brother and the fourth prince back then. However, in fact, what he did were all frivolous things that were not on the table, such as arranging an outhouse for the sixth prince, or going to a brothel to redeem his son...

What kind of errand is this? The moment Xue Youxin overheard it, he was completely confused, completely subverting his previous understanding.

Now think about it, if all you do for the prince are that kind of errands, you might as well learn more from the eldest sister-in-law!

"Xue Youlin?"

Xu Yin's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, thinking to herself, isn't this the male protagonist?

Now that the male protagonist has appeared, can the female protagonist be far behind?

It seems that the Xue Mansion will have another happy event soon.

The West Courtyard is going to have a new hostess. Will it be noisy in the future?

Xu Yin thought that she must finish all the planned projects listed in the notebook as soon as possible, make the residence the most comfortable, and then enter the Maodong life of peeling pine nuts, drinking tea, eating melons and watching movies up close.

"Come on, come on! It's time to eat crabs recently. Try the snacks I learned when I was in the south - crab roe soup dumplings and crab roe shaomai. After eating, let's continue working. It's still early before dark, so try to get there before it rains. Transplant all the flowers, trees and fruit trees.”

"..."

My brother-in-law and my sister-in-law looked at each other and thought to themselves, didn’t my sister-in-law just say that this is the end of the day and the rest will continue tomorrow? Why did he change his mind while having a cup of tea?

But if my sister-in-law is willing to send them to work, they will be happy to do so!

What’s more, there’s delicious food to follow my sister-in-law!

They have never seen these foods before, let alone eating them! (End of chapter)
