Chapter 16 The Most Poisonous Woman's Heart ()

Although the Xu family has not produced any famous figures for a long time, the house in the northeast of Taipingli has been repaired several times and is still quite powerful as the patriarch's main house. The house that has been in the four-enterprise was purchased by the ancestor who was a county magistrate when he returned home. As for how much money and cream there are, it is now unexplainable. However, the blue bricks in the deepest yard have been worn by water and stones for many years, and have long been as smooth as a mirror as it was. The potholes are bumpy and uneven. The maid and maid have to be careful to not sprain their ankles.

Although Master Xu has been ridiculous outside and has taken care of maids, there is no serious concubine in the family. Mrs. Xu is all in charge of the house. She is smart and capable. When she got married, she only had an empty shell left in the house of Xu. Thanks to her years of giving money with her dowry, buying land, looking for the industry to invest in dividends, and buying and selling in the long run in the long run. Nowadays, the long house is naturally in a prosperous situation.

It was almost fifty years old, and the beauty of the past was eroded by the years, leaving only the unconcealed traces of the forehead, eyes, and mouth; the slim figure in the past only left a waist like a bucket; the red and green clothes that I loved the most now had to spend year after year in the bottom of the box; Mrs. Xu naturally took Mr. Xu tighter and took the responsibility of the clan wife more and more. In addition, she loved her young son, and urged Mr. Xu to work hard behind her back all day long, taking the second house as the family, and came to Xu Jin.

Now, the outside reported that Xu Jin was back. Mrs. Xu, who was originally looking casually at a mother beside her, who was scolding her maid, immediately smiled and immediately called someone to call Xu Jin. When Xu Jin rushed into the room excitedly, she pressed him to sit next to her side without waiting for the salute. While hurriedly ordered someone to send tea, she smiled and asked about her well-being. When Xu Jin drank a cup of flower and herbal tea, she suddenly smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.

"Where did you go to today? Your sixth uncle's banquet has been a few days. Can you find your gift?"

"Of course!" Xu Jin remembered Xu Xun's appearance of being defeated in front of him today, and immediately became even more proud. He waved his hand and sent all the idle people. Then he carefully expanded the scroll in his hand for Mrs. Xu to show, "Mom, look, this is what I happened to get today. The original work of Li Tang, a famous artist in Song Dynasty, was just right for me, otherwise I would not be able to buy it even if I had a daughter!"

Mrs. Xu came from a rich family and didn't know many big characters, let alone calligraphy and paintings. She naturally believed the truth when her youngest son said this, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, my son, you have the ability! I told you, I promised your father to make the scene so big this time, not to praise your sixth uncle, but to let you and your elder brother show your ability, especially you! I remember that your second uncle was famous in the clan and had helped countless people, and almost compared your father. Now if you drive out the prodigal son and you have entered the second house, all the good foundations he laid back then will belong to you."

"Mom, how could you push your son out like this!" Xu Jin frowned and said angrily, "I have entered the second house, and my parents have been replaced by someone else. Besides, the property has been almost squandered by the prodigal son, how much can I have left?"

"How many?" Mrs. Xu snorted and shook her head. A golden lilac was revealed on her plump and white earlobes. "Do you think the second house is so poor? They still have at least hundreds of acres of good paddy fields in the countryside of Jurong. Someone like Xu Laoer may be hiding something under the house! Maybe the prodigal son doesn't know it, but don't worry about him, no matter whether he knows it or not, after he drives him out, these will be yours!"

When Xu Jin learned that the second house's property actually included hundreds of acres of paddy fields, he was extremely enthusiastic and remembered the lady Xiao who had a glance at it in a building on the Qinhuai River last time. When he thought of her snake-like waist and the expensive head-wrapped treasure, he felt that his whole heart was itchy and he unknowingly held Mrs. Xu's hand tightly.

"Oh, be gentle, your hand is so strong!" Mrs. Xu complained angrily. Seeing Xu Jin suddenly come back to her senses, she apologized repeatedly. She said slowly, "It would be fine if you follow your father's attitude of seeking peace and use his reason to do anything wrong. But there are so many people in the clan. What if someone comes forward because of your second uncle's good fortune back then? So I plan to ask someone to find a father-in-law and tell her about the birthmarks of the prodigal son, and so on. Even old things such as cradles are prepared one by one, just say that your second uncle had some other abandoned babies back then and took care of them as his own children. The clan bloodline is the most important thing these days. As long as you prove the confusing bloodline, the prodigal son will not be able to pass this level even if he has thousands of abilities!"

"Mom, you really have no choice!"

Xu Jin immediately raised his thumbs up in admiration when he heard his mother's words. Mrs. Xu was proud and gently stroked her son's forehead with her hand. Then she said with a smile: "You were born from my belly. Even if you enter another family, you will still be my son. You will come back if you want to come back on weekdays. No elders can control you. Are you afraid of other people's gossip? Don't learn from your father to be a bitch and set up a archway, and don't learn from your elder brother. It's all his seduced by his wife, and they are timid all day long!"

"Madam, Third Master, the eldest Master is here!"

As he spoke, a mother's voice suddenly came from outside. Mrs. Xu frowned and immediately stopped the more vulgar words he said. Xu Jin turned his head and saw that a young man in his early twenties had a thick eyebrows and broad-eyed look into the door curtain and entered the room. He suddenly saw the painting spread out on the soft couch, and hurriedly rolled it up and put it aside. When the young man bowed respectfully to Mrs. Xu, he had to get up and call his elder brother. When he wanted to salute, he was stopped by Mrs. Xu.

"Brother, why are you making trouble for so many false articles?"

"What Mom said."

Xu Dong glanced at his younger brother who was sitting down with a smile and smiling, and quickly looked away calmly. After Mrs. Xu pointed to the chair beside him, he took a step back and sat down, and then said, "Mom, I just came back from the account room. I heard that my third brother..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Jin immediately stepped forward, but he held Mrs. Xu's shoulder and said warmly: "Mom, I have spent a lot of money these days. I have to buy this gift from Uncle Six, and it has some messy expenses, so..."

"Isn't it just spending some money? What's the big deal?" Mrs. Xu looked down at Xu Dong with a squint, and said unhappily, "You are the brother, why do your younger brother do small things? Your wife has just made several sets of clothes. It's no reason that her sister-in-law can spend money, but she doesn't allow her brother-in-law to spend money!"

Before he could tell the reason, he ate this line and slapped it. Xu Dong's face suddenly became darker, but he didn't know what to do. He just owed his body and said something for a while, and then he took the leave. When he left, Mrs. Xu slapped the bed board of the soft couch in anger.

"Look, after marrying a wife, I forgot my mother, and I hurriedly left after sitting for a while. If it weren't for picking you, I might not even have the intention to come here to sit!"

"Mom, why did my brother think so? You are too careful..."

Although he left the house, the mother and son in the house spoke very loudly. Xu Qing could hear it clearly, and his eyes were immediately more gloomy. His right hand hidden in his sleeve couldn't help but clenched into fists. When he arrived at his father's study, he stood outside the door. After the Shutong reported it, he raised his foot and stepped into the door. Seeing that his father was talking to a scholar with a smile on his face, he had a little bit of resentment that he could not hide just now and then restrained it tightly, but he was covered in spring breeze and bowed.

"Mr. Luo."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and the eldest son is still elegant and graceful, which is gratifying!"

The middle-aged scholar, known as Mr. Luo, was wearing a blue shirt and holding a goose-feather fan in his hand. Although his temples were slightly white, his mouth was smiling and demeanor. His clear and bright appearance actually made people want to praise his good looks at the first sight. After seeing him, he saw Xu Dong standing beside Master Xu, and Mr. Luo said lightly: "I came today, I am for the marriage of your second wife of Xu."
