Chapter 871: In This Life, Enter Prime Minister Wen’s Mansion Again

Mrs. Tai originally said she would not go to Prime Minister Wen's Mansion, but then she actually went to go again, taking Shao Cailing, Shao Wanru, and her new daughter-in-law Zhao Xiran with her.

Although the two mansions were very close, they still got on the carriage. Xingguo Houfu prepared two carriages. Shao Wanru and Mrs. Tai were sitting in the front carriage. Zhao Xiran and Shao Cailing were in the rear carriage. Everyone got on the carriage and turned a corner. Then we arrived at Prime Minister Wen's Mansion.

They were the first ones to arrive, and they entered the door of Prime Minister Wen's Mansion not long after waiting.

The male family members stayed in the living room outside, while the female family members went to the inner door.

When Mrs. Wenxiang heard that Mrs. Tai had arrived, she waited at the Chuihua Gate early. The relationship between the two houses had always been good. Although they rarely interacted with each other on weekdays because Mrs. Tai didn't care about anything, their friendship over the years was still deep.

Mrs. Wenxiang was a beautiful-looking middle-aged woman, dressed very elegantly and decently. When she saw the Mrs. Mrs. coming, she hurriedly smiled and greeted her.

After the two chatted for a while, the wife looked at a beautiful woman behind Mrs. Wenxiang and said, "This girl looks familiar."

"Madam, you have forgotten, this is my niece Xi Shu, the sister Shu who used to play with the ladies in your house." Mrs. Wen Xiang introduced with a smile.

"Ah...oh, yes, I am old-sighted. Yes, it's your sister Shu. I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that she is so beautiful. She looks like a flower. It is indeed Mrs. Wen who knows how to raise people. You have raised a niece so well!" Mrs. Tai said with a smile in sudden realization.

"Mrs. Tai, you are so polite. There are no young ladies from your house. They are all as long as flowers. Could this be Miss Shao Wu?" Mrs. Wen Xiang's eyes fell on the women following Mrs. Tai.

She has seen Zhao Xiran before, and Shao Cailing is also very familiar with her. The only one she is not familiar with is Shao Wanru. She is an elegant and charming girl with delicate and beautiful facial features and smart watery eyes. But when she raises her eyes to look at people, she It also gives people a hazy feeling, the beauty is a bit unreal, and I can't help but praise it secretly.

Mrs. Wen Xiang has seen the beauty of Shao Yanru before, and she has always felt that it is difficult for a woman to surpass Shao Yanru. Now that she sees Miss Shao Wu, she realizes that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.

Speaking of which, the Xingguo Hou Mansion is truly blessed. It already has such a beautiful Miss Shao. I didn’t expect that Miss Shao Wu, who has recognized her ancestors again, is actually a stunning beauty. It’s just a pity for Miss Shao, but she didn’t know that this Miss Shao Wu Isn't she a beauty with a bad fate?

"Fifth girl, come and meet Mrs. Wen Xiang!" Mrs. Tai waved to Shao Wanru.

Shao Wanru took a step forward and saluted Mrs. Wen Xiang respectfully.

"Okay, good boy. She is indeed beautiful and knows etiquette so well. The granddaughter of the Grand Madam is indeed well-bred." Mrs. Wenxiang nodded repeatedly, reached out and took off a bracelet from her hand, and put it on Shao Wanru's hand. Putting it on, he said, "I didn't prepare anything good today. This jade bracelet is nice. Let's give it to Miss Fifth as a meeting gift!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Wenxiang!" Mrs. Tai said cheerfully.

Shao Wanru thanked him and stepped aside.

Gu Xishu was standing next to her, glaring at her with a cannibalistic look. There was almost uncontrollable hatred in her expression. Shao Wanru met Gu Xishu's eyes nonchalantly, Then she smiled slightly. She didn't understand why Gu Xishu was so excited when she saw her.

It has been so long since the conflict a few years ago, and it was still a trivial matter. Even if Gu Xishu didn't make progress, it would be impossible for her to hold grudges for so long. However, Gu Xishu's look really surprised her, and she looked at her. There was shock, resentment, and gnashing of teeth.

Fortunately, Gu Xishu gradually controlled her emotions, calmed down, and then her expression returned to her natural state.

After the respective juniors had seen each other, Mrs. Wen Xiang personally welcomed the concubine and walked in. Several juniors followed behind, listening to their words as they walked in.

Shao Wanru was the youngest, and Gu Xishu came to her side at some point.

"This is the first time that Miss Shao Wu has come to our house. How about I accompany Miss Shao Wu to enjoy the scenery!" Gu Xishu said with a smile, as if the malicious glare just now was because Shao Wanru had seen it wrong. generally.

"Thank you Miss Gu for your kindness!" Shao Wanru smiled slightly.

"Fifth Miss, there is no need to be polite. Today you are the guest and I am the host!" Gu Ximei said softly, as if she was referring to something, but Shao Wanru was not interested in her affairs. He just smiled politely but did not take the topic. .

"Miss Gu, could it be that..." Shao Caihuan took up the topic. They played together when they were young, and they played well. Later, they also understood Gu Xishu's thoughts, but there were many people at this meeting, and Shao Caihuan also I couldn't say anything to my face, I just mentioned it a little bit.

Gu Xishu's face turned red, she stretched out her hand and pulled the handkerchief in her hand, bit her lip, her shy and timid look showed that there was something going on.

"Is Miss Gu engaged to the second young master?" Zhao Xiran was well informed. After looking at the wife in front of him and Mrs. Wen Xiang who was talking about being very energetic, he lowered his voice.

Engaged? Not for concubine? Shao Wanru raised his eyebrows, and his watery eyes turned with a hint of darkness.

"There's no final agreement yet!" Gu Xishu said in a voice as loud as an ant, her face already red and hot.

"Miss Gu, I'm sorry, I thought it had been agreed upon!" Zhao Xiran apologized hastily.

"Grandma Shao, you're so polite!" Gu Xishu said delicately. She glanced at Shao Wanru with a red face, quite proud of herself. Shao Wanru was confused for a while. She didn't know what Gu Xishu was so proud of. , I have nothing to do with her, right?

The flower hall was not far from the Flower Gate. The Tai Madam and Mrs. Wen Xiang did not restrain them and asked Gu Xishu to accompany them everywhere.

Zhao Xi

However, she didn't leave. She said she would accompany the wife and let Shao Cailing and Shao Wanru play with Gu Xishu.

Zhao Xiran's behavior was immediately praised by Mrs. Wen Xiang, who nodded repeatedly to express that the wife had married a good granddaughter-in-law, and that the daughter of Zhao Shangshu's house was very knowledgeable and sensible.

The Madam didn't like Zhao Xiran at first, but at this time she also put on a loving expression on her face. While politely modest, she looked at Zhao Xiran with satisfaction, as if she was really satisfied with Zhao Xiran.

Shao Cailing didn't want to leave, and the life of the third room was not easy now. Before going out, the third lady also repeatedly asked her to please the madam. Seeing that Zhao Xiran's trick worked, she immediately moved to the other side of the madam, saying that she did not want to leave. Don't worry, Madam, you don't want to go out either.

There were only four people in total, and neither of them wanted to go out. They were focused on pleasing Mrs. Shao, so Shao Wanru sat down next to Shao Cailing.

"Miss Shao Wu hasn't been to our house yet, has she? Xi Shu happened to have nothing to do, so she just walked with Miss Shao Wu to know the way!" Seeing Shao Wanru also sitting down, Mrs. Wen Xiang suggested with a smile.

"Miss Shao Wu, can we go for a walk together? It's your first time at our house. If you don't treat me well, my aunt will blame me. Miss Shao Wu won't let me embarrass you!" Gu Xishu made a warm and affectionate gesture. He came over and stretched out his hand to pull Shao Wanru to stand up.

Shao Wanru stood up and stepped back, just in time to avoid Gu Xishu's hand, "Then there's Miss Lao Gu!"

She couldn't refuse Mrs. Wen Xiang's reason. Indeed, she was the only one present here who had "never been" to Wen Xiang's Mansion. Mrs. Wen Xiang's arrangement made sense.

"Auntie, then I'll take Miss Shao Wu out for a walk!" Gu Xishu said to Mrs. Wen Xiang with a smile, as if she didn't notice Shao Wanru's neglect of her.

Mrs. Wenxiang nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't go too far, take a short walk and come back. If Miss Shao Wu is tired, come back earlier! There will be snacks for a while, but there won't be any if you come late. Got it!"

"Auntie!" Gu Xishu stamped her feet in disbelief, "When you say that, you will think that I am a good eater!"

"Aren't you a good eater?" Mrs. Wenxiang laughed, and the wife couldn't help laughing either.

"Miss Shao Wu, let's go first and come back after shopping for a while, so as not to eat all the good ones!" Gu Ximei blushed at the laughter, and came to Shao Wanru's side and said affectionately.

"Okay, okay, let's go!" Mrs. Wenxiang smiled and shook her hand. It was obvious that she liked this niece very much.

The smile on Mrs. Tai's face also faded. The Gu Xishu in front of her reminded her of Mr. Jiang, who also grew up in front of her and wanted her to marry into her family and become her favorite when she grew up. It was my daughter-in-law's fault, but she ended up in this situation. Now that I think about it, Mrs. Jiang didn't even know what kind of evil possessed Jiang, and she made mistakes one after another.

Shao Wanru bowed to Mrs. Tai before leaving behind Gu Xishu.

After exiting the flower hall, Gu Xishu pointed to a path in front of her on the right and said, "Miss Shao Wu, can we go for a walk there? The scenery over there is very nice!"

After looking at this direction, Shao Wanru's eyes were a little quiet, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but then he said: "It's up to Miss Gu."

Naturally, what she meant was that she had never been anywhere, and she could let Gu Xishu make the decision no matter where she went.

"Okay, then let's turn around from here!" Gu Xishu nodded with a smile, and the two of them walked forward talking about the scenery as if they had never met each other before.

Shao Wanru is actually very familiar with this road. In his last life, he could walk on this road several times a day. This is the only place in the backyard of Wen Xiang's Mansion that Shao Wanru is most familiar with.

If there had been no changes here, the place that the road leads to would be really familiar...the courtyard where Wen Xichi lives.

Wen Xiang's only daughter died early, and he only had three sons. As for other concubines, Wen Xiang himself did not have many, so the several large courtyards in the backyard were reserved for his three sons.

Wen Xichi was Wen Xiang's favorite son. He was rare in talent but also the most favored. He occupied a large courtyard at the end of this road.

Moving forward calmly, she wanted to see what Gu Xishu wanted to do by pretending to be so clever.

At an intersection, Gu Xishu stopped with a smile and pointed forward, "That's my third cousin's yard over there. We won't go there because we're afraid of bumping into him. He's a bit elusive." Yes, who knows if he is here, Miss Shao Wu, let’s go this way!”

The road she pointed was not towards Wen Xichi's yard. It seemed as if she really didn't want to run into Wen Xichi.

If someone else had said this, Shao Wanru might have believed it, but Gu Xishu? Shao Wanru curled her lips, with a hint of coldness in her graceful posture, "Miss Gu will just lead the way!"
