Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

The next morning, Xu Yi, Xu Er, and Xu San were all full of energy, and there was no sign of what had happened yesterday.

They called for the servants to help them change their clothes, put on their best clothes, had a hurried breakfast, and followed Mr. Xu, Minister Xu, and Madam Xu out the door.

Madam Xu Er and Madam Xu San looked on, feeling puzzled.

"Third sister-in-law, do you know where the eldest family is going with the old man?" asked Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu shook her head. She had not received any news and did not know where the eldest wife was with the old man. However, she could ask the housekeeper.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu waved to the butler, signaling him to come forward.

The housekeeper looked at the Second Madam Xu and the Third Madam Xu and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Every time the Second Madam and the Third Madam came to see him, it was always something bad.

But what can he do? He is the master, he can't just turn a blind eye, right? Then he will have to pack up and leave tomorrow.

The housekeeper smiled and walked forward and asked, "Madam San, what do you want to call me?"

Madam Xu San asked with a smile: "Housekeeper, where are the old man, my eldest brother and his wife going today?"

When the housekeeper heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Of course he knew where Mr. Xu and the eldest wife of the Xu family had gone. Wasn't it the Lu family?

The gifts they brought to the Lu family were all prepared by him, the butler!

However, in front of Madam Xu Er and Madam Xu San, the butler did not dare to tell the truth, but he could not lie either.

So the housekeeper nodded and said, "Third Madam, the old master, the eldest master, and the eldest lady are all going to visit relatives."

"Visiting relatives? Then why not invite people from our second and third rooms?" Mrs. Xu immediately rushed to say, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"Third sister-in-law, look at what I said. The old man is really biased now. When he went out to visit relatives, he only took the eldest wife and not us. What does he think of us?"

Mrs. Xu San looked tense. She felt that it was a bit awkward for the second sister-in-law to speak like this in front of the housekeeper. She smiled at the housekeeper and asked, "Housekeeper, do you know which relative's house they are going to?"

The housekeeper shook his head: "The old master and the first master and the first lady didn't tell me, they just asked me to prepare a gift. Second Madam and Third Madam, if you want to know, why don't you wait for the old master and the others to come back and ask them in person?"

The housekeeper thought, the old man didn't even bring the second and third wives with him when he went to visit relatives, doesn't this make it clear that the relatives are only him and the first wife?

I really don't know what's wrong with the Third Madam. This kind of thing is not something a servant like him can decide!

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu San no longer paid attention to the housekeeper, looked unhappy, and pulled Mrs. Xu Er away.

"Hey, Third Sister-in-law, why are you holding me? If we catch up now, maybe we can still make it!" Second Madam Xu broke free from Third Madam Xu's hand.

Madam Xu San saw that there was no one around them except their personal maids, so she no longer hesitated and said, "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. The old man has already decided on something. Aren't you going against him by doing this?"

"If you ask me, let's go back and talk to my second brother and my husband first. Let's see if we should ask the old man when he comes back later."

After listening to this, Mrs. Xu felt that there was some truth in it, so she agreed and hurried towards her yard to find her husband.

On the other side, Mr. Xu and the Xu family’s eldest branch family came to the Lu family’s door.

Madam Xu had already sent an invitation to the Lu family yesterday. Today, everyone in the Lu family naturally knew that they were coming and had already told the doorman to wait for them.

When the doorman saw Mr. Xu and his group, he hurriedly sent someone to report to everyone in the Lu family. Mr. He and Mrs. He walked in front, He Feng and Old Man Lu followed behind, and Lu Jianchuan, Gu Yunxi and others followed at the end.

Everyone stood at the door to welcome the person that Mr. Xu would marry in the future. Lu Jianan's little face was also full of smiles as he welcomed the relatives that his parents had mentioned.

Today he specifically asked for leave and didn't go to the academy, which shows how much his family values ​​him.

However, when he saw Xu One, Xu Two, and Xu Three behind Old Man Xu, his smile froze. Why did the three brothers of the Xu family come?

Wait, Xu? Aunt Xu?

Only then did Lu Jianan react. The relatives his parents were referring to were Aunt Xu and the people from the Xu family?

The three Xu brothers were in the same academy with him. They always wanted to drag him along to sneak out to play, but he didn't want to and refused many times.

Lu Jianan thought, although he also wanted to go out and play, he didn't dare to. If his mother knew, she would break his legs.

Just as he was thinking, Xu Er took the initiative to greet Lu Jianan: "Jianan, so this is your home!"

"Hey, do you know An An?" He Feng asked in surprise, looking at the children with a smile.

She knew that her own son was studying in an academy, and she also knew that the three sons of the Xu family were studying, but she didn't know that their sons were all in the same academy. What a coincidence.

Xu Er politely replied to He Feng: "Yes, aunt, we are classmates in the same academy!"

"Oh, you silly child. What aunt? This is your cousin. An An is your distant cousin." Mrs. Xu hurriedly corrected her son's address.

"Your cousin is your father's cousin, your great aunt's daughter."

Xu Er's face turned red, and he hurriedly shouted to He Feng: "Cousin, I was rude just now."

"Cousin! Uncle-in-law! Cousin Jianchuan, sister-in-law! Cousin! Cousin brother!"

"Cousin, uncle..."

Seeing this, Xu Yi and Xu San were not willing to be outdone, and hurriedly and enthusiastically called for people, causing everyone to laugh.

Lu Jianan curled his lips and called out to the three brothers of the Xu family. He paused and said, "First cousin, second cousin, third cousin."

Xu Yi, Xu Er, and Xu San didn't care about his expression. Anyway, they were now relatives. If they asked Lu Jianan to play with them in the academy in the future, Lu Jianan should be embarrassed to refuse, right?

The three brothers were all happy and remembered what they came here for, and looked at Lu Jianchuan.

"Cousin Jianchuan is often praised by our teacher. We should take cousin Jianchuan as a role model, study hard, and get our names on the list of successful candidates in the future!" Xu Yi couldn't help but say.

Lu Jianchuan was stunned, then smiled and said, "Did your academy teacher really say that? I am only a third place winner. If we want to be a role model, then the first place winner Du Liangran should be the one to learn from."

The top scholar Du Liangran now works in the Hanlin Academy just like him and has profound knowledge. When Lu Jianchuan works with him, he can't help but think he is amazing.

Xu Yi shook his head: "It's different. The teacher said that Du Zhuangyuan grew up in the capital and was well-read. The environment he grew up in provided him with a very good learning environment."

"But you are different, cousin. You grew up in the countryside and even stopped going to school for so long. Yet you picked up your studies again and became the third place in the imperial examination. The teacher said that this is enough to show how hardworking you are to reach this level today."
