His two sons were reporting on their work outside, and although it was good to gain experience, his two daughter-in-law were not willing to let it go.
He had already sent a few urgent letters and had to think of a way to recall them back to the capital.
Master Xia returned to the mansion and went to the study with his eldest son.
He even called Jiang Huaian, who had just returned.
Jiang Huai ‘an was interested in the Imperial examinations after the new year. He came back today to visit his grandfather’s old friend.
The current Grand tutor Xie.
Even now, Grand tutor Xie was still managing the Directorate and guiding His Highness in his studies.
“Are you used to today? Why did Lulu fall asleep?”
why does he reek of alcohol … The first mistress, lady Yun, was looking at the account books in the courtyard. She came out to welcome them when she heard the voice.
“This Naughty Monkey is drinking the flower Hawk again.” Xia Yurong was helpless.
“It’s better for a girl to be more naughty. Look at my family’s calm and steady, where is the vitality of a girl.” Madam Yun pointed to the gentle and demure young girl standing beside her.
The young girl pouted and looked at her mother, her face blushing.
“Mother …”
Holding Lulu, Madam Xia felt her arms go limp, and the young girl hurriedly came forward to help.
“This is mother Zhen, right? It was actually this big. Have you said anything about marriage?” Madam Xia put Lulu on the bed. When she saw mother Zhen and sister-in-law, she asked someone to make tea.
“I reached marriageable age last year, and I’m sixteen now. She’s always shirking the marriage proposal and her father doesn’t care about anything, so I’m too lazy to talk to her. ” Madam Yun glared at her daughter. Her two sons already had children, but her daughter’s marriage had always been a worry.
However, mother Zhen had always been sensible and obedient, and many families had inquired about her. At this moment, she had a smile on her face.
“The children and grandchildren have their own fortune. Eldest sister-in-law, your life is good. Mother Zhen is the eldest daughter of the Xia family’s legal wife, so you have to take good care of her in the future. Once this daughter is married, she usually does not return to her mother’s home. Now that she wants to be filial in front of you, her filial piety is also commendable.” Xia Shi picked up some good words to say.
The smile on lady Yun’s face became more sincere.
The second branch had a daughter who was already fifteen. Even if mother Zhen didn’t talk about marriage, the second branch had to suppress it. In fact, Madam Yun was a little anxious.
Mother Zhen’s face turned slightly red.
But Madam Xia’s nose moved slightly, and there seemed to be a strange smell in the air. “Our Xia family worships the memorial tablets of our ancestors? Why do I smell like incense from the temple?” It smelled like incense wax and paper money.
Mother Zhen slightly clenched her handkerchief, lowered her head, and looked at her toes.
“Our residence was newly built in these few years, and the ancestral tablets are still temporarily placed in the temple. We’ll only invite him back when the ancestral Hall is rebuilt in the future, where’s the smell of wax and paper money?”
“Besides, it’s not even the fifteenth day of the month yet. I haven’t even gone to offer incense.”
Madam Yun replied with a smile. Seeing that the sky was already dark, and the master was about to finish his discussion, she had to hurry back to the sea-listening Pavilion with mother Zhen.
Xia Shi was startled, “strange, the smell is gone again.” I can clearly smell the fragrance of incense …”
She had smelled this smell in huangdu, half of July of the first year, and half of July of the second year.
They all smelled it.
Mrs. Xia didn’t have time to think about it. Perhaps it was because her clothes had touched the incense. She only had hot water prepared and gave Lulu a simple wash.
Lulu was in a deep sleep and didn’t even wake up after being fiddled with by the Xia family several times.
The night gradually spread.
The night was as deep as water. Everything was quiet and there was no movement.
In the courtyard of the sea-listening Pavilion, a certain room creaked and opened..
