Herb Family [Rebirth]

Few people know about Su Wang's son being disabled, so I heard that Su Wang's son is going to choose a companion to read, and all the families in the capital have selected the best nephews from the family.

Only the Xu family planned to send a crippled cousin to compete.

The rest of the Xu family naturally couldn't understand what the old lady and the old man were thinking. Mrs. Xu even thought that it was because the old lady was getting old, so she became more and more unconscious.

Therefore, after Uncle Xu came back at night, the eldest lady hinted about today's incident tactfully, and focused on the fact that Young Biao was a lame man.

Uncle Xu didn't expect that the nephew from Tongcheng turned out to be a disabled person in a wheelchair.

However, he didn't think that his mother and father were insane like the eldest lady. Instead, he thought that his father would agree to his mother's request, and there must be something inside.

Thinking about the fact that Su Wang's son rarely appeared in front of people, a guess suddenly floated in Uncle Xu's heart, could it be...?

Seeing that her husband was silent, Mrs. Xu felt a little anxious. She still wanted her husband to stand out and fight for this spot for her natal nephew.

But my husband heard that the bumpkin from Tongcheng was disabled, why didn't he respond?

Just when the eldest lady was about to say something more, Uncle Xu finally came back to his senses. Seeing the expression on the eldest lady's face, he guessed what was going on in the other person's mind, so he lowered his face and said coldly: "Put away your thoughts, you have entered The door of the Xu family is the people of the Xu family, don't make any foolish plans!"

The eldest lady was taken aback by her husband's sternness, and hurriedly said: "The concubine knows about it." But in her heart she was secretly resentful, her husband's ruthless words hurt her heart severely.

Thinking that she has been married into Xu's family for many years, and has given birth to children for Xu's family. She has never turned to her natal family. Now she just wants to find a way out for her natal nephew. This is the first time that she has received such a severe reprimand. How could she feel better ?

Uncle Xu may also feel that his tone just now was too harsh, so he calmed down and comforted the eldest lady, "Since father and mother chose Qi'er, they must have their intentions, we must not disobey the elders."

"What my husband said is true, I know it." The eldest lady responded submissively on the surface, but she was still upset, so she couldn't help but hate Lu Qi who just came today. ...

At this time, Lu Qi and Bai Heng lived in Xu's house. The courtyard they shared was in the northwest corner of Xu's mansion. The location was a bit remote, but it was quiet and quiet.

After they visited Mrs. Xu in the main courtyard, they were dismissed without saying much. Bai Heng could tell that although the old lady's attitude towards Lu Qi was indifferent, the concern in her eyes did not seem fake.

The attitude of others is not good.

At least maybe the eldest lady doesn't seem to be a good match.

But fortunately, they don't have to worry about it. Besides, they are men, and they don't go in and out of the backyard often, which just avoids the chance to meet the eldest lady.

It's just that Bai Heng had a good idea. Early the next morning, someone came to the old lady's yard, saying that he wanted to invite Young Master Biao and Young Master Bai to talk.

After hearing this, Bai Heng and Lu Qi glanced at each other, and it seemed that there might be a tough battle coming up.

Not only Bai Heng felt the Xu family's unfriendliness, but Lu Qi also felt it. He wanted to stay in the yard obediently and not deal with the Xu family before going to King Su's mansion, but the old lady disrupted their relationship. Wishful thinking.

No matter how much they slandered in their hearts, the old lady had to obediently go to the main courtyard if she was invited.

Mrs. Xu's courtyard is located in the center of Xu's mansion. It is a three-entry courtyard with a very grand style. It has always been the main courtyard where the mistress of the Xu family lives.

When Lu Qi and Bai Heng came, the daughters-in-law of the old lady had already arrived, but because they knew that the old lady had invited Master Biao and Young Master Bai, the little girls of the Xu family did not attend.

After all, no matter how thin Lu Qi is, he is still a 13-year-old boy, and he always needs to avoid suspicion.

So when the two arrived, they saw the old lady sitting in the middle, with several wives from Xu's residence sitting on both sides.

Before they entered Beijing, Mrs. Lu explained the situation in Xu's residence. As the eldest daughter of the Xu family, Mrs. Lu had four younger brothers and three younger sisters.

Except for Uncle Xu and Third Master Xu, who were born to the old lady, the other children were all concubines.

At this time, the daughter-in-law of the first son and the daughter-in-law of the concubine are naturally distinct, the eldest wife and the third wife are sitting on the right hand side of the old lady, and the second wife and fourth wife are sitting on the left hand side of the old lady.

On weekdays, the old lady is very indifferent to the concubine and daughter-in-law, but the second and fourth wives still go to the main courtyard every morning and evening to calm down. After all, the old lady is their aunt, no matter how indifferent the aunt's attitude, there must be rules. Otherwise, just wait to be poked in the spine.

Fortunately, the old lady is not a grinder, and she couldn't bear to see the concubine and daughter-in-law wandering in front of her eyes every day, so she decided to come back every three days.

Although today is not a day for concubines and daughters-in-law to pay their respects, but after hearing that the old lady asked the young master to speak, the second and fourth wives hurried to the main courtyard as soon as they got together.

The old lady knew what the two concubines and daughters-in-law were thinking, and she didn't intend to stop them. After Lu Qi left and right, she would go to Su Wang's mansion on behalf of the Xu family. It is serious to have a good relationship with the Xu family at this time.

After all, although Second Master Xu and Fourth Master Xu are concubines, they can be regarded as promising. Although they are not as powerful as the boss and the third child in the court, they are still officials of the fourth and fifth ranks.

It can also be a help when necessary.

This is also the reason why the old lady has never rubbed the son-in-law's daughter-in-law, even if she is far from her heart, she will never do anything to disappoint the old lady.

So after so many years, although someone in the concubine's room of the old man gave birth to a son, no one in the backyard of Xu's mansion could go past the old lady.

Even the old lady's favorite concubine did not dare to speak loudly in front of the old lady, let alone show off.

In the past, there was a concubine of Mrs. Xu who secretly changed to Bizitang. After she became pregnant, she became mad and offended the old lady several times, so the doctor diagnosed that the concubine's belly was a boy.

At that time, the Xu family had only one daughter of the old lady, and there were no males, so the concubine felt that the boy in her womb could gain a firm foothold in the Xu family, so she began to provoke the mistress.

Who would have thought that the old lady hadn't spoken yet, but after the old man found out, he ordered someone to drink the medicine without saying a word, and then sold the concubine's room.

Since then, the concubines of the old man settled down in peace, and later the old lady gave birth to the first male in the Xu family for the old man, and his position became more and more stable from then on.

Even if there are other people who give birth to boys, in the eyes of the old man, only Uncle Xu and Third Master Xu are the ones who should focus on cultivation.

Because of this, the old lady never thought of dealing with concubines or concubine daughters. In the eyes of the old lady, those are things that are not on the stage, and they don't need her to bother.

Unexpectedly, the old lady's behavior has attracted more and more respect from the old lady. For decades in the Xu family's backyard, no one can surpass the old lady, and no one dares to challenge the old lady's position. ...

After Lu Qi and Bai Heng came in, they first saluted and greeted the old lady, and then greeted the four aunts. With a decent smile, the eldest lady said in a warm voice: "You don't need to pay so much, they are all from your own family." A sharp light flashed quickly.

The eldest lady thought that she was covering it up very well, but she didn't know that Bai Heng had already captured her expression. Bai Heng was on guard, and felt more and more that the Xu family was really as expected, even if it wasn't a dragon's lake and a tiger's lair, it was not far off.

Lu Qi didn't notice the lady's expression, but he knew that his arrival must have blocked the way of many people, so he was always focused on 12 points, not daring to relax in the slightest.

When the old lady saw Lu Qi coming in with a wheelchair, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes. After Lu Qi and her daughters-in-law greeted each other, she said, "Qi'er, come closer and let grandma see."

Lu Qi pushed the wheelchair forward, while Bai Heng stood obediently on the spot with his head bowed.

When Lu Qi arrived in front of the old lady's soft couch, the old lady straightened up and looked at his eyebrows and eyes carefully, but she couldn't see the appearance of a daughter at all, but most of them followed the appearance of the uncle of the Lu family.

The old lady sighed in her heart, Wan'er was wronged when she married, but in the situation of the Xu family back then, Wan'er could only be sacrificed.In addition, Wan'er is low-married, the Lu family has to support Wan'er no matter what.

It's just that she didn't expect that Wan'er's life would be so hard, and her only son would be disabled.

If it weren't for the fact that Prince Su's son wanted to choose a companion to read, Wan'er's son could be said to have been abolished.

Fortunately, God opened his eyes and didn't continue to rub her Wan'er. The more the old lady thought about it, the more sad she became, and she became more and more kind to Lu Qi. She asked Lu Qi about his diet and daily life, and then personally ordered him not to treat Master Biao slowly.

Several daughter-in-laws were a little jealous when they saw that the old lady had such a good attitude towards Lu Qi. You must know that the old lady's attitude towards other grandsons and granddaughters was not so good.

The old lady has always been indifferent to the juniors, treating them seriously and not withholding them, but not getting too close.

In addition to the reason of the old lady's own temperament, it is also because the old lady is all focused on the old man, so naturally she can't pay attention to the younger generations below.

Even towards her parents and children, Uncle Xu and Third Master Xu, the old lady's attitude was not very warm, so everyone was shocked to see that the old lady was so kind to Lu Qi.

Lu Qi himself was also very surprised. After all, before entering Beijing, Mrs. Lu also mentioned the old lady. He knew that his nominal grandmother was a cold-tempered person. Apart from the old lady, there was no one else who could enter her. Eye.

Unexpectedly, with such a good attitude towards him now, Lu Qi didn't feel flattered, but became more vigilant.

Because he not only sees pity in the eyes of the old lady, but also sees the indifference hidden in the depths. It is impossible to change a person's nature. At this time, the old lady can treat him well, but if the old lady or the government is involved, the old lady can also treat him well. She pushed him out without blinking an eye.

Just like Miss Xu back then, Mrs. Lu today.

The old lady also loved her only daughter, but compared to the old man and the whole Xu family, the daughter became insignificant. For the old man and the Xu family, Mrs. Lu was married to Tongcheng.

This is Mrs. Lu's unforgettable pain, and it is also a lesson for Lu Qi.
