Chapter 72 The British Crown Prince's Visiting Parents

The British Government House, this is the residence of Zhang Fu, a benchmark figure among the Daming Huns. "Hunting Wen" Net Δ

Early in the morning, the maids and servants in the Duke's mansion were all warned.

—— Be careful today, don't lose the face of the Duke's Mansion, or you won't be able to take care of the friendship of several lifetimes.

"I heard that the second aunt is coming back to visit relatives, and the second uncle is also coming."

"Well, let me tell you, the second aunt broke away from her family back then, and she was so angry that she called the second and third masters and expelled her!"

"Then why did the second aunt come back again? And the attitude of the mansion is not for expulsion!"

The two maids were taking the opportunity to gossip, and one of the maids with a red mole on the corner of her mouth said mysteriously: "That's old news, do you know? The Duke heard about it later and wrote a letter to scold the eldest lady." Wait, don't you see that the second lady is in charge of the house now?"

"Oh! So that's the case! I said why is it so grand today, so I want to make up for the second aunt!"

There has never been less gossip in the mansion, but today it seems to be especially a lot.

When Fang Xing escorted Zhang Shuhui to the gate of the British government on horseback, two rows of servants had already lined up to welcome her.

"Open the side door!"

A steward came out of the gate. He first ordered someone to open the side door, then walked over, bowed and said, "I have seen the second son-in-law, the old lady and the madam have been waiting for a long time."

Fang Xing nodded, and said to Lao Qi behind him: "Take them to rest, be careful."

Xin Laoqi replied: "Young master, don't worry, you will never lose face to our Fang family."

Today is also very strange, people on both sides are close relatives, but they all put on a show, Fang Xing brought out ten servants.

"Second uncle, please."

The side door opened, and Fang Xing entered with the carriage. As for going in through the side door instead of the main one, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The main entrance of the British government is usually closed, and it will only be opened when there are decrees or important events.

However, some people in later generations complained about Lin Daiyu, thinking that Jia's house did not open the front door to welcome her.

Consider it a contempt.

In fact, this is not the case. If Jia's mansion had opened the front door to welcome him, everyone in the capital would probably laugh at his family for flattering the Xunyan Yushi.

Gossip aside, Fang Xing was caught by Xue Huamin as soon as he entered the door, and he led Fang Xing to meet the old lady.

It seems that Xue Huamin's status in the Zhang family is not low!

Seeing Xue Huamin leading him into the backyard skillfully, Fang Xing pondered in his heart.

But in front of a door in the backyard, Xue Huamin couldn't get in either, and a servant girl led the way.

After entering this gate, there are winding paths all the way, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere.

Fang Xing compared this place with his own residence, and came to the conclusion that his current residence is an affordable housing, while the Duke's Mansion is a super mansion with an invincible sea view.

Even though it was only early spring, there was still plenty of colorful flowers in the Duke's Mansion. Fang Xing's eyes turned around and then retracted, because he noticed that the maid who led the way had been carefully observing him.

After passing through a veranda and walking into a small garden, an independent courtyard appears in front of you.

This is the residence of Wang Shi, the widow of Rong Guogong and the mother of British Duke.

There were a few maidservants standing at the door, and when they saw Fang Xing, someone went in to report.

And Zhang Shuhui happened to be brought here too, the couple looked at each other and gave each other a comforting smile.

"Second uncle, second aunt, the old lady is here to invite you."

Fang Xing walked over, stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Shuhui's little hand, and under the dull eyes of those maids, Shi Shiran followed into the compound.

"Oh! Still holding hands?"

When the old lady heard what her own people said, she smiled and said: "This young couple is newly married, and it's time to mix oil with honey, so don't make fun of it."

Just as he was talking, people had already entered.

Kowtowing, proclaiming mother and mother-in-law, these should be done one by one, and then Fang Xing left.

After Fang woke up, the old lady looked at the indifferent Zhang Shuhui, and sighed: "You were still a child when your biological mother died of illness. Then your father sent you to me to raise you for a few years. When you were out of character, it gave me a lot of fun."

Zhang Shuhui bowed her head and said: "Mom, I can still remember what happened when I was young, thank you for raising me back then."

After the greetings were over, the old lady sent her own congratulatory gifts, all of which were decorations, and finally returned a wooden box.

Zhang Shuhui resigned, and then went to the second wife.

Fang Xing was being received by Xue Huamin, and it was pleasant for the two of them to drink tea and chat, but Zhang Shuhui had already seen someone she didn't want to see.

On the way to the second lady's residence, Zhang Shuhui saw the eldest lady Li.

Mrs. Li was supported by two maidservants, and when she saw Zhang Shuhui, she sneered and said, "Second aunt is just passing through the door and not entering!"

Zhang Shuhui said: "My sister-in-law has been reduced in recent years, so it can be seen that she has worked so hard for the Duke's mansion. When the eldest brother comes back, he should be comforted by a good wife."

There was a hint of wit in the words of the two, and finally the eldest lady snorted coldly, turned around and left.

When they arrived at the second lady's place, the aunt and sister-in-law became more intimate.

The young second lady pulled Zhang Shuhui to sit on the Hu bed, and said with emotion: "You were so courageous back then, but now seeing that you are living happily, I am relieved."

The second wife is Zhang Fu who married into the family and gave birth to a son, and works as a housekeeper. Over the past few years, her status in the mansion has also risen sharply, so she dared to say these words.

Seeing the wooden box, the second lady smiled and said, "The old lady still misses you, otherwise no one will be able to easily get good things from her."

"What's in here?"

Zhang Shuhui wanted to open it to take a look, but was stopped by the second lady, and then changed the subject for a while, then forgot about it.

After Zhang Shuhui left, the second lady sighed: "My little sister, we all thought that she would be lonely for the rest of her life, but now she has fallen into the nest of blessings, but I am still..."

The accompanying room next to him also said: "Who said it wasn't the case? Back then, the second aunt rushed out of the house. Fortunately, my wife sent a few guards and mothers-in-law to protect me. Otherwise, let alone going to Beiping, I guess even Jinling would have come out." Not going."

The second lady touched her belly and said, "They are all women, why bother?"

Seeing this action, the companion's eyes darkened, and he comforted: "Don't worry! Look, the second aunt has been married for half a year, but there is no good news either!"

The second lady looked at the door blankly: "It's different! Although the Duke didn't say anything, I know that he has been looking forward to having a healthy son!"

"But sister-in-law's life is much better."

Thinking of the maid who passed on the message that Zhang Shuhui was led into the gate by Fang Xing, the Second Madam was a little envious.

"Nothing can compare to the love between husband and wife, woman..."
