Xu Xilu stared at himself in the bronze mirror expressionlessly.

A sallow face, with crowded facial features, a few red and swollen pimples sporadically growing on both cheeks, and a very obvious double chin without looking down. Even if it is not ugly, it is not normal. .But a pair of eyes are beautiful, clear and bright, not inferior to Xu Xilu's original eyes.

Xu Xilu was originally a model who relied on her face and figure to make a living. Due to her outstanding appearance and talent, she became the darling of the fashion circle at a young age.Half a month ago, an accident caused him to cross over to Xu Xilu, and he became the most unpopular young master Xu in the Shangshu Mansion.In the past half month, Xu Xilu was dizzy with fever due to the chills, his limbs were weak, and he hardly got out of bed. When he woke up, there was already an extra memory in his mind that didn't belong to him.

This Xu family can be regarded as a rich family in the capital where the rich and powerful are everywhere.Xu Xilu's father, Xu Taihe, was a first-rank official in the imperial court and served as a minister in the Ministry of Industry.Xu Taihe's ancestral home was in Cangzhou. His family was poor and his father died when he was young. His mother set up a noodle stall on the side of the street and brought him up for him to study in a private school. He hoped that he would be able to go to high school in the future and shine on his family.It's a pity that during the first two years of Xu Taihe's scientific examination, Xu's mother accumulated illnesses, and was unwilling to spend money on medical treatment and medicine. Minor illnesses turned into serious illnesses, and finally passed away, leaving only meager savings and a son who could only study .With this little savings, even the travel expenses to Beijing are not enough.Just when Xu Taihe was desperate and no one wanted him even if he worked hard, Xu Xilu's mother appeared.

The Liu family opened an inn in the east of the city, just a few steps away from Xu's mother's noodle stall. Although the business is not slow, the family's food and clothing are not worrying.The daughter of the Liu family, Liu Shujie, was born very well. She is as charming as the moon, and her skin is as white as snow. Liu Shujie didn't like any of his youngest sons.Liu's father and Liu's mother always loved his little daughter very much, and he didn't force her to keep her by his side for a few more years.I thought that the daughter was just not married yet, but unexpectedly, their precious daughter has long since made a secret promise, not to mention a private life, and also took out the gold and silver that she had accumulated since childhood to support her lover to go to Beijing for scientific research.

Although the Liu family is a family of merchants, they still have to face.When the Dongchuang incident happened, Liu's father gave his daughter a meal, and Liu's mother shed tears every day.Facing the anger of her parents and being sad, Liu Shujie only said one sentence from the beginning to the end: "When Xu Lang is in high school, he will definitely come to pick me up and marry me."

The fact that Liu Shujie had an affair with the poor scholar spread out somehow, and no one came to propose marriage to her.The Liu family has also become a joke among the innocent people in Cangzhou City.

Fortunately, the sky pays off.Three years later, Liu Shujie finally found her lover.At this time, Xu Taihe is already a prodigy in fresh clothes and angry horses. He rode around the city in high school, and his outstanding appearance provoked all the girls to throw flowers and fruits.The parents of the Liu family were delighted to have such a son-in-law, and regardless of what the matchmaker said, Najib hired him and sent their daughter over directly.Liu Shujie also thought that she and her lover could finally be on par with each other and never leave each other.It's just that she never expected that in the back house of Xu's mansion in central Beijing, there were already two women waiting for her early - Xu Taihe's regular wife, Zhang Shi, and his noble concubine, Xie Shi.

Just like that, carrying a woman's longing for marriage, she entered Xu's mansion through the side door in a small sedan chair.Liu Shujie was unbelievable and heartbroken at first, but later accepted the reality numbly.Her person, her heart, belonged to Xu Taihe, so what could she do as a weak woman far away from home?Fortunately, Xu Taihe is not completely ungrateful, a person who wants to change when he sees a difference.For his wife Zhang, he respects and alienates him; for his concubine Xie, he is both a husband and a friend.And although Liu Shujie was forced to be a concubine with a humble background, Xu Taihe treated her as before and loved her very much.

After several years in the Xu Mansion, Liu Shujie gave birth to the eldest daughter of the Xu family, but died of a blood collapse when giving birth to the second son, leaving behind only the six-year-old daughter and the newborn Xu Xilu.

Xu Taihe, who has always been rational and calm, imposed the pain of losing his beloved concubine on Xu Xilu. He always avoided this son as much as he could. He was charming and lovely, but he grew into a vulgar and reckless idiot, and it was too much to even look at him.

Unable to get Xu Taihe's love, and the aunt's mother ignored him, the Xu family's servants always acted according to the master's wink, so naturally they were not flattering to him like other young masters and ladies, and his appearance was really hard to describe in words , Xu Xilu naturally grew into a cowardly, inferior and honest personality, usually nesting in his own yard when he had nothing to do, and would not say a few words.

Youdao is born from the heart, facing this face, I can't even like it, let alone others.Xu Xilu pinched the three layers of fat on his stomach, wishing to spit out a mouthful of old blood——no, how could he, a supermodel who has been relying on his face for a living since he was a child, wear it on such a simple and honest...cute little fat man?

"Master, don't be sad, after this illness, you have already lost a lot of weight!" Jiu Dong is Xu Xilu's servant, who has served around Xu Xilu since he was a child, and knows the second young master of the Xu family very well.But for some reason, after the second young master woke up, he seemed to be a different person. He often looked left and right in front of the mirror, touched the mirror, sighed, and occasionally vented his anger on his own flesh. like down.

Xu Xilu was shocked when he heard the words, pointed to his face and said, "With my appearance, I still lost a lot of weight?"

"Yes, yes." Jiudong scratched his head, a little confused, but still tried his best to comfort his young master, "Master, my mother said that it is a blessing to be able to eat, and you will be fat if you look like you. Wealthy and rich, soaring to the top!"

Xu Xilu covered his chest with one hand to prevent him from vomiting blood, and signaled Jiudong to shut up with the other hand.At this time, the door squeaked, and a maid walked in with a food box.The maid's name is Xing Nong, she has a small cherry mouth, and she is quite pretty, "Second Young Master, it's time for lunch."

In Xu's mansion, except for the master and wife, and the concubine Xie's courtyard, there is a small kitchen, and the daily meals of everyone else are taken care of by the big kitchen.After the cook cooked the meal, each courtyard sent people to take it back to the courtyard for the master to use.Xing Nong opened the food box and took out the meals one by one. There are sauced pork trotters, spicy chicken, stir-fried pork liver, sweet and sour short ribs, all of which are full of oily fragrance, making people mouth watering, and served with a large bowl of foot A generous amount of rice and a bowl of rich white fungus and lotus seed soup, well, it's really fragrant.

Xu Xilu hardly ate during the few days of his illness, seeing such delicacies now made his index finger twitch.Not to mention this body, in the past, he had dietitians strictly regulate the calories for his three meals a day, so he had to run on a treadmill for half an hour after eating such a high-calorie and high-fat food.After eating salad and chicken breast, a bowl of bibimbap with soy sauce is a delicacy that he can't wait for.Xu Xilu was about to move his chopsticks when he suddenly saw his fat claws and froze immediately.

Standing aside, Jiudong watched Xu Xilu's face change from ecstasy to anger, and finally put down his chopsticks with resentment. "What's the matter, master? Is the food not to your appetite?"

Xu Xilu asked Xing Nong, "Are you sure you took it right, this is my share?"

Xing Nong giggled and said, "Second Master was joking, I have fetched rice for Second Master for so many years, how could I take the wrong one?"

"So..." Xu Xilu tapped the table with his fingertips, "People in the kitchen, do you know that I'm sick?"

"Ah?" Jiudong was taken aback, wondering why the young master suddenly asked such a question, Xing Nong was quicker than him, and replied: "Of course I know. Now the monthly regulations, meals, clothing materials, etc. of each courtyard in the mansion are big and small. Aunt Dong is in charge of all the chores. Aunt Dong heard that the second young master was ill, so she specially asked the kitchen to make more good ones for Wen Qiuyuan. The cook said that the second young master ate better than the eldest young master! "

Hearing Aunt Dong's words, Jiudong rolled her huge eyes, "If Aunt Dong is really that kind, why didn't you invite a doctor to see our young master! Our young master just got a little bit of cold, and it wouldn't be long before You can get better in just one day, if there is no doctor, why would you need to live for ten days and a half months." Jiu Dongyue became more excited as he spoke, his eyes turned red with anger, "Poor our young master, he has lost a lot of weight..."

Xing Nong was at a loss, but still spoke for Aunt Dong, "There are many things in the house, Aunt Dong must have forgotten..."

"Hmph, I don't remember when I'm sick, but when I'm well, I'll show you how to be courteous. Who cares?"

Xing Nong opened her mouth to say something, but after thinking about it, she closed her mouth obediently, but Xu Xilu could guess what she was thinking.

When the Liu family entered the mansion, they were favored and treated favorably by Xu Taihe. Whether it was the Shi'an Garden of the wife Zhang or the Fuqu Pavilion of the noble concubine Xie, it was deserted for a while.Mrs. Zhang didn't know what to think, but at this time, she bought a woman surnamed Dong from outside to be Xu Taihe's concubine.Aunt Dong's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Liu's, she is more gentle, considerate, and understanding, unlike Zhang and Xie, who are the daughters of a wealthy family and are taught to be restrained. She knows how to please men, so Even Xu Taihe, a noble scholar, couldn't help being a little bit doted on by her.After Mrs. Liu passed away, she had a face similar to Mrs. Liu's, which made her husband love her even more. Mrs. Zhang also took good care of her, and even let her take care of some trivial matters in the house.Such an Aunt Dong naturally doesn't need to show her courtesy to Xu Xilu, an unpopular bastard.

After recalling the twists and turns, Xu Xilu finally reluctantly looked at the delicacies. He only brought the bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup. After taking a sip, he frowned slightly—it was too sweet, at least half a catty of it should be put in sugar bar.Xu Xilu put down the soup, and said to Xing Nong: "Go to the kitchen to see if there is any white fungus and lotus seed soup. If there is any, ask them to bring you two bowls without adding sugar. Another serving of boiled vegetables is fine, except Don’t put any salt or anything else. Oh, by the way, remember to bring two corns when you see them.”

Xing Nong was stunned when he heard that, "These things in the kitchen today..."

Xu Xilu looked at Xing Nong, then at Jiu Dong, "Look at you who are thin, and then at me who is fat, others must think that only the master eats well in Wenqiu Pavilion, you are suffering..."

Jiudong hurriedly said: "No! The young master has always been very good to Jiudong!"

Unexpectedly, this clever young man was really sincere to him, Xu Xilu chuckled, "Okay, take this table away, you go."
