After losing her husband, she turned the little villain of the Hou family into a big boss

The morning of late autumn was already a little chilly, but the bed was very warm, and Tang Shuyi slept soundly wrapped in the quilt.But Cuiyun whispered in his ear, "It's time for Ma'am to get up, the two aunts are here to say hello."

Tang Shuyi's brain was even more confused after waking up, Auntie?What aunt?

Scratching her hair, she carefully searched for the information in her brain, and found out that the deceased Marquis of Yongning, Xiao Huai, had two concubines, both of whom were married in the frontier.However, neither of the two aunts had children, and after Xiao Huai died in battle, they were sent back.

"What time is it?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Cuiyun outside answered softly: "It's time."

Tang Shuyi calculated the time and knew that it was six o'clock, so she got up and got out of bed.Then Hulala came in with a few little maids, all waiting for her to get up early.Tang Shuyi was stunned for a moment, and realized once again that she is now a wealthy lady.

After entering the clean room, a little maid handed her a toothbrush dipped in tooth powder.I used to think that people in ancient times didn't brush their teeth, but just rinsed their mouths with salt water. Only now do I realize that my previous knowledge was narrow.

There were also toothbrushes in ancient times, just like the toothbrush she holds in her hand now, which is made of high-quality sandalwood as the handle, with holes punched and animal hair tied on it.Tooth powder is also made from precious Chinese herbal medicines.

Mmmm, it tastes good.

After washing up and returning to the bedroom, there were two delicate beauties curtseying to her. These were the two aunts.

"Get up." Tang Shuyi said as she sat down in front of the dressing table, and the two aunts immediately walked up to her to help her comb her hair and put on makeup.She hurriedly waved her hand, "Let the servant girl come."

The two aunts stood by the side respectfully, Tang Shuyi smiled and chatted with them about the daily routine, such as what to do every day, and then said: "I have nothing to do here, you go back, you don't have to come to say hello every day in the future .”

The two aunts were a little apprehensive after hearing her words. One said it was right to greet you, and the other said that the rules cannot be broken.Hearing what they said, Tang Shuyi looked at them sideways and said seriously: "I really don't need you to pay my respects, I'm not being polite to you."

These words made both of them at a loss, Tang Shuyi said again, with a gentle tone, "Don't think too much, I just don't want to be troublesome."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, the two aunts saluted again and turned to leave.Tang Shuyi continued to ask the maid to comb her hair and put on makeup.It's not that she is against the two aunts, after all, she has never met the dead husband, so naturally she has no feelings, let alone his concubine.

It's just that Xiao Yuchen's affairs are on hold in her heart, she has no time to deal with others now.

After putting on makeup and combing her hair, Cui Zhu asked what clothes she was wearing today.Tang Shuyi looked at the clothes in the closet, all of them were too luxurious but lacked style.She casually pointed to a set of Zhulu Xiujin's clothes and said, "That's all, I'll call the tailor over later, and make a few more sets."

Cuizhu responded with her hands to help her dress, Tang Shuyi asked: "Have you checked Xue Ji's situation?"

Cuizhu helped her tie her belt and said: "The third-bedroom old man of Wuyang uncle's mansion is a concubine, and he was separated when the family was separated. This three-bedroom old man gave birth to four sons, two concubines and two concubines, and Xue Ji is the fourth son of a concubine." His son is also a concubine."

Tang Shuyi: "..."

Well, he was born in a common family.

"However, Xue Ji and Uncle Wuyang's mansion haven't produced five uniforms yet, so he can still be regarded as a member of Uncle Wuyang's mansion." Cuizhu said again: "I heard that Xue Ji's aunt is very favored, and he himself is a man who knows how to make money. Yes, although it is impossible to achieve martial arts, he has become the head of the Atonement Division of the Ministry of Punishment, a seventh-rank official, through connections.

The wife he married was the concubine of Mr. Zhang's elder brother's family.He now has a son and a daughter, both of whom are from his wife.The son is ten years old and the daughter is eight years old. They are both studying in the ethnology of Wuyang Bofu. "

"Does this Xue Ji have bad habits?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Cuiyun thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of anything other than my love for drilling camps."

Tang Shuyi hummed, "Have you sent someone to invite you?"

"Changming left early in the morning." Cuiyun replied.

"Go let the eldest son out of the ancestral hall, he can't kneel in the ancestral hall when the guests come." Although Tang Shuyi said so, she felt that the time for Xiao Yuchen to kneel was too short, why should Xue Ji leave and let him continue to kneel?

Cuiyun responded, turned around and went out to let the little girl go to the ancestral hall to deliver the message.After everything was tidied up, the breakfast had just been served when three brats came over.Xiao Yuming and Xiao Yuzhu were chattering, while Xiao Yuchen was limping with a slumped expression.

Seeing her, the three said hello:

Xiao Yuzhu: "Mother~"

Xiao Yuming: "Mother."

Xiao Yuchen: "Mother."

Tang Shuyi raised her eyebrows, and the characters of the three children could be seen from the address.

"Sit down and eat." Tang Shuyi sat down first, and the three children followed at the dining table.She didn't want to abide by the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping, chatting with the three brats while eating.

Although the three of them had a lot of problems, Tang Shuyi didn't reprimand them with words, nor did he explain the truth to them, but just talked about family matters to bring them closer.The most important thing now is Xiao Yuchen's matter, two small issues, we can wait until the current matter is over.

After breakfast, Xiao Yuzhu and Xiao Yuming both went to the school, while Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuchen moved to the front yard to meet Xue Ji.On the way, Tang Shuyi told Xiao Yuchen about Xue Ji's situation.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuchen had doubts on his face. He didn't understand why Tang Shuyi asked Xue Ji so clearly. They were relatives, right?

Seeing the expression on his face, Tang Shuyi asked, "Before saving Liu Biqin, did you know who Xue Ji was?"

Xiao Yuchen shook his head, "There are so many offshoots of my uncle's family, how can I know them all?"

"A relative you don't know, why does he take the initiative to approach you and do things for you?" Tang Shuyi asked.

Xiao Yuchen thought for a while, "Because of my identity, it's good for him to have a relationship with me."

Tang Shuyi gave him an approving look, and said: "You are the son of Yongning Hou, the grandson of Tang Guogong's mansion, even if you don't do anything for him, as long as you two get close, others will think highly of him. It’s easier to do things.”

Seeing Xiao Yuchen nodding his head knowingly, Tang Shuyi said again: "You used him to save Liu Biqin, and he used you to raise your status. The relationship between you is purely of interest, don't talk about whether you are related or not."

This made Xiao Yuchen half-understand, Tang Shuyi explained to him, "Some people talk about love, and some talk about profit. It's best not to talk too much about benefits with people who talk about love.

Like you and me, you and your younger siblings, we and your grandfather's family, what we are talking about is love, the affection of close relatives.What you and Xue Ji are talking about is profit. If he has nothing to gain from you, will he help you? "

This time Xiao Yuchen understood, he said: "You have inquired about Xue Ji so clearly, do you want to know yourself and your enemy?"

Tang Shuyi nodded, "We need to know whether he has any fatal flaws, such as gambling, lust, greed for money, etc. These flaws are easy to be seized and threatened. But fortunately, Xue Ji has no particularly fatal flaws except for his love of profiteering. .”

After hearing these words, Xiao Yuchen stopped to look at Tang Shuyi with doubts and a little admiration.Tang Shuyi also stopped and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiao Yuchen pursed his lower lip, "You haven't told me this before..." I didn't know you knew so much.

Tang Shuyi glanced at him, with a look of disgust, "I didn't know you were so... unsophisticated."

Tang Shuyi really wanted to say, I didn't know you were so stupid before.But don't hit the kids too hard.

Xiao Yuchen was speechless for a while.Now he has one more teacher and one less mother.

The mother and son went to the front yard while talking, Tang Shuyi said to go to the study first, and then go to the small hall to meet Xue Ji after he arrived.After hearing this, Xiao Yuchen said, "Are you going to show off?"

Tang Shuyi: "..." I seem to be someone who likes to show off?

Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, she said, "It is to let him know that the initiative of the matter is in our hands."

Xiao Yuchen didn't understand, and Tang Shuyi didn't explain it to him.Having experienced this kind of thing a lot, I will naturally understand it.

After a while, Chang Ming came to report Xue Ji's arrival.Tang Shuyi didn't make people wait, and took Xiao Yuchen to the small hall.
