People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

Xu Xilu originally thought that Song Yanqing's line was cold, so he could only honestly think about other countermeasures.He was sitting by the window, looking worried at the pattering rain, the little golden monkey nestled in his arms, happily gnawing a nectarine in its paws.

At this moment, a steward of the Xu family ran in and said, "Second young master, there are people coming from the palace, the master told the second young master to go to the front hall quickly!"

Xu Xilu was taken aback for a moment, the corners of his mouth gradually turned up, and finally he couldn't help laughing out loud.He stuffed the little monkey into the cage, and said to Jiudong, "Go, let's go get the reward!"

Liu Jinzhong, the chief eunuch next to the emperor, came to Xu's mansion with many precious rewards, and at the same time expressed the emperor's appreciation for Xu Xilu.The whole family of Xu's family knelt in the front hall to listen to the order, and everyone's expressions could be said to be different.Xu Taihe was relieved, Xu Xuanying was surprised, Zhang Shi looked indifferently and respectfully, but the hand holding the Buddhist beads trembled slightly.

After Liu Jinzhong dictated the oracle, he said with a smile: "Master Xu, you really gave birth to a good son."

Xu Taihe hurriedly said: "Don't dare, this is what children should do."

"I reward you for putting it away. You don't need to go to the palace to thank you." Liu Jinzhong said, not forgetting to glance at the second son of the Xu family who was kneeling behind Lord Shangshu, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled-although the second son of Xu is a little fat, but She has fair skin and surprisingly good facial features, so she doesn't look scary at all, and she doesn't know how those rumors came about.

After Liu Jinzhong left, Xu Taihe said kindly to Xu Xilu: "You did a good job this time, and you have brought some glory to our Xu family. But you must remember not to get carried away, and you must always remember to be rigorous and self-cultivating."

Xu Xilu smiled lightly: "Son, save it."

Not long after, Shangguan, the mistress of the Xie family, also brought Xie Qingsu to the door to thank her in person.When officials and relatives came to visit, Mrs. Zhang was supposed to host the reception, but Mrs. Shangguan happened to be Mrs. Xie's sister-in-law, which was a bit embarrassing.Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang didn't seem to have any intention of establishing a relationship with the Xie family. She said that she would not be sick, so Mrs. Xie naturally invited her into the Fuqu Pavilion, and asked her servants to also call Xu Xilu.

The two noble ladies sat together and chatted, the topics were nothing more than the affairs of the inner house and the important affairs of their children.The Xie family and the Shangguan family are both people who have little relationship with their children. The Shangguan family still has Xie Qingsu, the only son, and the Xie family has been married to the Xu family for more than [-] years but has nothing. This has always been her heart disease.

"Yao'er, is Dr. Pan useful?" Shangguan asked.

Mrs. Xie took a sip of tea, and said: "The person my elder brother and sister-in-law found for me is not easy to use? It's just that I'm getting old, and I really don't dare to ask for an heir."

Shangguan patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "You forgot our third aunt? Didn't you give birth to a fat boy after forty? You, you have to relax, maybe you will be pregnant .”

It was not easy for Xie Qingsu to participate in the topic of the two ladies, so he could only sit and drink tea, and glance towards the door from time to time.Not long after, someone came to announce: "The second young master is here."

Shangguan said with a smile: "This kid is finally here, please come in and let me have a look."

When Xu Xilu stepped into the inner hall, he saw a gentle and loving lady welcoming him, and hurriedly saluted, "Mrs. Shangguan."

Shangguan supported Xu Xilu's arms, and said with a smile: "You child, why are you so polite, you saved our Qingsu, and you are the benefactor of our Xie clan."

Xu Xilu had a humble face, "Ma'am's words are really disgraceful to Xilu. Brother Qingsu is an auspicious man with a natural appearance. I'm just trying my best."

Shangguan's turned to Xie's, "Look at how good this kid can talk, and he is blessed to grow up. He will definitely do something in the future."

Xie nodded with a smile, "There are so many children in the Xu family, I like him the most."

"Son," Shangguan patted Xu Xilu's hand, and said softly, "If there is anything the Xie family can help you with in the future, just ask, and we will do our best."

Several people exchanged pleasantries, Xu Xilu guessed that Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Shangguan still had a lot of private things to say, so she invited Xie Qingsu to sit in Wenqiu Pavilion.Although Xie Qingsu often came to Xu's mansion and lived there for a while, except for Fuqu Pavilion and Tingyulou where he lived, he had never been to other places.It was also his first time visiting Wenqiu Pavilion.

Compared with the elegant atmosphere of Fuqu Pavilion, the furnishings of Wenqiu Pavilion can only be described as simple and clean. Except for the necessary supplies, there are almost no decorations. The sandbags are not like the yard of the young master of Shang Shufu at all.Xu Xilu saw Xie Qingsu's confusion, and took the initiative to explain: "I asked them to remove those unnecessary things to make room for me to exercise. Anyway, I usually don't have any guests here, and you are the first one. Shuanghua, why not?" Thank you, Young Master, for the tea."

Xu Xilu's name was Shuanghua, but the two girls serving in the inner room came out, one handed tea, the other served some snacks, from the beginning to the end, his eyes never moved away from Xie Qingsu's body, and his cheeks were also exposed. There is a hint of pink, which is a treatment that Xu Xilu has never had before.What Xu Changying said is correct, which daughter's family would not like Mr. Jun Lang?

Xie Qingsu didn't seem to notice the two girls' glances, he took a sip of tea, Junxiu frowned slightly, and immediately put down the teacup again.

"What's the matter?" Xu Xilu joked, "But you don't like the rough tea here?"

Xie Qingsu looked away slightly, "No."

Xu Xilu couldn't help laughing secretly in his heart, Xie Qingsu didn't dare to look at people when he was lying, it was so serious and funny.At this time, he felt rustling on the soles of his feet, and looked down, the little hairy monkey ran out out of nowhere, was looking up at him with his head up, wearing a small vest made by Shuanghua, blinking his eyes.Xu Xilu's blood tank was emptied in an instant, he bent down and fished the little monkey into his arms, "Skin monkey, why are you out again?"

The little monkey hugged Xu Xilu's finger and let out a groan, Xie Qingsu also looked over, "This is?"

Xu Xilu replied: "My favorite pet." Although he originally intended to give the monkey to Song Yanqing, but they refused to accept it and could not return it, so they had to raise it by themselves.Fortunately, although this little guy is a bit skinny, he is very humane and will not hurt others. He can also perform a few juggling on weekdays to make everyone happy.

Xie Qingsu watched the little monkey put Xu Xilu's finger in its mouth and asked, "Does it have a name?"

"Name?" Xu Xilu thought for a while, then said with a smile, "It just got it, and it's called Qingqing."

Kiss?Green?Xie Qingsu was taken aback for a moment, then coughed lightly, turned his face away, "boring."

The two sat in the inner hall for a while, then Xu Xilu took Xie Qingsu to the study.Before crossing, Xu Xilu would also read some books in his spare time, but here he is really not interested in those obscure books, and only occasionally reads casual books and story books.Xie Qingsu looked at the rows of large bookshelves and was a little surprised. In his opinion, Xu Xilu didn't seem like a book lover.

"I got all of these, I bought them, and I borrowed them." Xu Xilu took out a book from it, flipped through it casually, and said casually: "Speaking of which, I used to send a lot of books to Qingsu Brother, Brother Qingsu, do you want to keep it?"

Xie Qingsu silently looked away, although his face was still cold, but Xu Xilu swore that he saw a trace of guilt in it. "That seems to be kept." Xu Xilu said with a smile that was not a smile, "Brother Qingsu has learned a lot, next time I go to Xie Mansion, I must discuss it with Brother Qingsu."

Xie Qingsu's eyes flickered slightly, and he gave a soft "en".

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, someone from Fuqu Pavilion came to urge him, so Xu Xilu let Xie Qingsu go.When the two returned to the Fuqu Pavilion, they happened to meet Xu Qingyang who had just come out of the garden.Xu Qingyang didn't seem to see Xu Xilu, and smiled brightly at Xie Qingsu, "Brother Qingsu."

I have to say that the looks of the daughters of the Xu family are really good. Xu Changying is dignified and dignified. Xu Qingyang is pretty and pleasant. Although Xu Anning has not grown up in stature, she can still be seen as a beauty. Even Xu Xuanying is elegant and delicate. Yes, only Xu Xilu worked hard for more than half a year. Although his face is becoming more and more like Liu's, but with this figure, no matter how good his appearance is, it will be greatly reduced.

Xie Qingsu nodded towards Xu Qingyang, "Second Miss Xu."

"When did brother Qingsu come, why don't I know?"

Xu Xilu said: "Brother Qingsu is my guest at Wenqiu Pavilion today, it's normal for the second sister not to know."

The smile on Xu Qingyang's face restrained a bit, and it was not easy to get angry in front of Xie Qingsu, so he just said lightly: "Second brother is here too."

"I won't be here soon." Xu Xilu wrapped his arms around Xie Qingsu's shoulders in a demonstrative manner, "Qingsu, let's go, don't make Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Shangguan wait for a long time."

Xie Qingsu's body froze, but he didn't break free from Xu Xilu, and said with a sullen face, "Okay."

Xu Qingyang looked at the back of the two who left together, stomped his feet, and returned to Yinyan Pavilion full of anger.In the yard, Aunt Dong was collecting the dew on the leaves. Lian Cha followed her and said in a low voice, "Auntie, do you want to continue with what you arranged last time?"

"Everyone is here in the palace, what are you doing?" Aunt Dong said irritably, "If there are any more rumors, it's obviously against that person in the palace, do you want to die?"

Lian Cha's eyes darkened, "Then we just let the second young master go like this? I just heard from the girl in Shi'anyuan that the last time the internal officials came to the mansion, the lady seemed to be fine on the surface, but when she went back, she took a few The girl got angry and almost beat her to death."

Aunt Dong's hands paused, "Although Madam is dedicated to Buddha, as long as it's about the young master, she will... well, she hasn't approached me recently, and she must be waiting to make a big move." She was upset In a mess, seeing Xu Qingyang coming back from the outside in a hurry, he couldn't help but blame: "They are all people who are about to discuss marriage, why are you still so frizzy?"

Xu Qingyang paused, overjoyed and said: "About marriage? Really?"

"That's right, Second Miss," Lian Cha said with a smile, "Madam has already agreed to find someone for you after the young master's marriage is over."

Xu Qingyang's face flushed, and she looked even more charming and cute. She stepped forward and took Aunt Dong's arm, and said coquettishly, "Auntie, what kind of family will Madam help me see?"

Aunt Dong gently slapped her daughter's hand, "You are a girl, and you are not ashamed to ask about your own marriage?"

"I don't care," Xu Qingyang pouted, "Anyway, I must marry better than Xu Changying."

"Your eldest sister is the marriage that your father personally talked about. How many people in the capital are better than the Zhenyuan General's Mansion?" Aunt Dong said displeased, "If you want to marry well, why not spend more effort to please your father , the province's aunt wants to curry favor with Madam."

"Xu Changying and I are both concubine daughters, why can't I marry better than her?" Xu Qingyang thought of Xie Qingsu who had just met by chance, and smiled, "There are many high-ranking families in Beijing, so they said they came to our house today Xie's family, I see that there is no need for the general Zhenyuan's mansion."

Aunt Dong suddenly looked at her daughter, "Could it be that you-have you taken a fancy to that Xie Qingsu?"

"Auntie—"

"You're crazy!" Aunt Dong slammed Xu Qingyang's hand away, "You know that Madam doesn't like Xie's family the most, but you still——do you want Auntie to have a hard time living in this inner house in the future?"

"Auntie, where is this? No matter what else, Brother Qingsu and I have known each other since we were young, and the two families are also related. I can see that Brother Qingsu is interested in me. What's more, there are two names in his name and mine. There is a word 'green', which means that there is a great fate..."

"Shut up!" Aunt Dong raised her hand and wanted to slap her, but Lian Cha hurriedly stopped her, "Don't get angry, Auntie! Look, slave girl, if Mr. Xie is really interested in our girl, it may not be a bad thing." Good thing."

Aunt Dong gradually calmed down. Lian Cha has been with her for many years and has always been her most trusted person, giving her many ideas. "you mean……"
