The most difficult female boss in history

Chapter 201
In this snowy new year, the General's Mansion was extremely deserted.

Xiao Mingzhu accompanied Mrs. Xu to have a very quiet New Year's Eve dinner. Mrs. Xu gave Xiao Mingzhu a red envelope, and sent her back to her yard to play with the maids on the pretext that she was not feeling well.

Xiao Mingzhu didn't care about Mrs. Xu's coldness.

Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I went to give Mrs. Xu a nibble, pay New Year greetings, and then have breakfast together.

The two returned to the previous state of getting along again. During this period, Mrs. Xu seldom talked with Xiao Mingzhu, let alone mentioned Xin'an and Xiao Huaien.But Xiao Mingzhu knew very well in her heart that the string in her grandmother's heart was tighter than anyone else, and the slightest disturbance could trigger it.She believed that she did not have the eloquence of Mu Xuan, and she also knew that her grandmother would not be as firm in her choice as she was, so she never mentioned those things.

The peaceful days thus came to the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.

In the early morning of the thirteenth day, Eunuch Cheng came to the door again, this time he brought a piece of news that was not good, but not bad.

Xin'an's latest battle report has been sent to Kyoto. Dachu arranged a large number of troops to capture Han Yunjing and neglected its own rear. While Xiao Huaien led his own troops to rescue Han Yunjing, he arranged several groups of troops to attack the city behind Dachu.Da Chu failed to catch Han Yunjing, but suffered heavy losses. Under Da Chu's pursuit, he lost three cities in a row.However, Xiao Huaien, the greatest contributor this time, was pursued by Dachu for bringing the fake "Han Yunjing", and his whereabouts were unknown.

Mrs. Xu may have prepared herself a little this time, her reaction was much lighter than last time, she didn't faint, and she was able to talk to Cheng Gonggong calmly.

Xiao Mingzhu's expression was very calm: "If there is no bad news, it is good news."

Da Chu suffered such a big loss this time, if he caught his father, or killed his father, he would definitely not hide it.

Mrs. Xu and Xiao Mingzhu could hold their breath, but some people couldn't.

Early the next morning, Shuxiang hurried to the yard.

Hearing the voices of the little girls, Zhichun flashed out from the waiter, stepped forward and stopped Shuxiang, "Sister Shuxiang came here early this morning, is there something wrong?"

"Where's the girl, are you up?" Shuxiang was very anxious, and even turned her head to look into the room.

Zhichun looked embarrassed, and stretched out his hand to hold Shuxiang: "The girl hasn't gotten up yet, sister should come here to warm up first."

After Eunuch Cheng left yesterday, the old lady was going to Falin Temple to make a wish, but her body really couldn't bear the tossing all the way in this winter, so the girl went instead of the old lady.Going in the morning and returning in the evening, it was almost non-stop, and there was no time to eat something at noon. The girl was so tired that she fell asleep when she returned to the mansion, and she didn't even have time to eat dinner.

How can Shuxiang sit still, pulling Zhichun: "Urge the girl to get up, the old patriarch led the Hou Mansion and several clan elders are here, the old lady is calling the girl over."

The old patriarch?Lord Hou, clan elder?
Now Zhichun also knew that the situation was really urgent, and hurriedly said: "Sister Shuxiang is waiting in the waiter, I will report to the mother right away."

Xiao Mingzhu looked unhappy when Aunt Qiao pulled her up from the bed. She yawned and moved her neck: "It's coming when it comes. Do you still need me to come in front of you to serve her?"

Just because of the people in the clan's attitude towards her father, she thought it was enough to treat the people in the clan with a decent face. It was impossible for her to treat and respect them as relatives and elders sincerely!
Nanny Shang nimbly took a few sets of clothes and came over to pick out for Xiao Mingzhu, and said in a low voice: "Girl, I'm afraid the patriarch's intentions are not good, so the old lady called you over."

"Why, could it be that he came to make trouble after giving birth?" Xiao Mingzhu's eyes widened.If she dared to stretch out her hand, hey...she would beat them so rudely that they didn't dare to stretch out again!
Before she was sent to Xiao Mingzhu's side, Aunt Qiao had carefully studied the past events of the General's Mansion and the Xiao family. She methodically analyzed for Xiao Mingdao: "I'm afraid I'm here to inquire about the news. After all, the old lady cares about face. It's not appropriate for her to say that, that's why the old lady wanted to call you over."

Aunt Qiao sighed softly, feeling a little dissatisfied with the old lady's arrangement.This clearly shows that he wants the girl to embarrass the clan members.When someone mentions it, she can say that the girl is young and ignorant, which is enough to bring the girl's faux pas over.

"So, let me offend people?" Xiao Mingzhu understood as soon as she heard it, she shrugged indifferently: "If they are looking for trouble, then why should I be polite and reason with them." She pointed to the bright red embroidered gold peony The cloud brocade outer dress and the flowered cloud satin skirt of the same color, and said: "Mother, the soft whip given by the emperor, bring it, and I will wear it later."

Aunt Qiao was startled when she heard the word "soft whip", and immediately understood.

The old lady thought more deeply.

The girl got the nanny and the whip from the emperor, and the seven-tailed phoenix hairpin from the queen.This is a great honor for any family. The old lady cares about it, and the Hou Mansion and the Xiao family, which are declining day by day, care even more.

The old lady insisted on leading the girl in front of her, but she just thought that the girl was young and vigorous, and might become impulsive after hearing a few bad words.No matter whether the girl took the face of the patriarch Hou Ye or made a move, no matter how angry they were, no matter how hard they tolerated it, they would not let the girl spread a bad reputation in the end.

But wouldn't the old lady think about it for the girl, if it was spread or not, it would be a stain on the girl, what if those people in the Xiao family turned around and used the girl to control the girl?

"Girl, be careful, think twice before saying something." Aunt Qiao couldn't help reminding: "Don't do anything."

Xiao Mingzhu nodded: "Auntie stay here, and it will be fine for the nanny to accompany me later."

Nanny Shang, who had been silent by the side, brought over a soft whip, tied it around the girl's waist with her own hands, and said indifferently: "Girl, don't be afraid, even if one or two words are inappropriate, they are elders, how dare they argue with the girl?" Woolen cloth."

Xiao Mingzhu laughed all of a sudden, she understood Aunt Qiao's worry, and she also understood Shang Nanny's hint.It's no wonder that Nanny Shang came by that person's side, so she must have obeyed his orders not to be afraid and not to be restrained.

When she thought of his words "I'm here", she felt extra at ease.

When we arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Xu was also ready and was waiting for Xiao Mingzhu in the hall.Seeing Xiao Mingzhu wearing a big red dress, she only felt dazzling.Afraid that she would get annoyed again, Mammy Ru said in a low voice, "Madam, the patriarch is still waiting in the front hall."

Mrs. Xu gave her a blank look, but she didn't say anything to criticize Xiao Mingzhu, she just reminded plainly: "The group of weasels coming to the door must be up to no good. You will definitely be caught by him if you wear such a suit."
