The courtyard where Xiao Yan is located is called Yi Yan Ju, and it takes about seven or eight minutes to walk from here to the main house, which shows the size of the ancient courtyard. Although this yard is large, it does not appear to be empty.

From Yiyan Residence to the main hall where Xiao's mother lived, the surrounding scenery changed slightly. Most of the landscapes in Yiyanju are casual and extravagant, while the layout of the main hall is exquisite. It can be seen that the layout of the courtyard also follows the owner's temperament.

Xiao Yan recalled the introduction about Xiao's mother in his mind. This is a standard ancient master, unsmiling, old-fashioned and serious. The original heroine, who was almost skinny at ordinary times, had two strands of life in front of Mother Xiao.

In the original book, today's "Xiao Yan" was seen by Li's mother after she had strengthened A Li, and Li's mother vomited blood on the spot. 'Xiao Yan' was asked by Xiao's mother for the family law, and she was forced to take fifty whips to ask her to marry A Li as her husband.

'Xiao Yan' had just recovered from a serious illness, and was beaten badly just after an inexplicable nightmare. She complained about Li's mother and son in her heart. She was clearly the one who was at fault, but she was annoyed with Ah Li, especially when her butt was pumped. When Ah Li was bloody and unwilling to marry her, 'Xiao Yan' felt that a mute even picked up Qiao, thinking about how to ignore him after marriage.

Xiao Yan thought about the plot and didn't stop, just as he was led to the main house by the servants, he saw his younger sister Xiao Shu was eating tea with Xiao's mother. Xiao's mother is still satisfied with Xiao Shu's daughter. After all, she is very smart, and her words and actions are not comparable to the pig brain of 'Xiao Yan'.

But the ancestors of the family set the rules, and the family business can only be transferred to the niece. Unless she made an unforgivable mistake and was expelled from the family, the prostitute would not even think about it.

Mother Xiao planned to leave most of the family business to Xiao Yan when she got old, lest she starve to death without any skills.

This was the best arrangement. Mother Xiao also hinted at it when her two daughters became adults, but Xiao Shu has a big ambition and a big appetite. She despised Xiao Yan and could not understand why the Xiao family's industry was entrusted to such a man stuff?

So she wants to fight.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the figure at the door, Xiao Shu's smile became more and more intense when talking to Xiao's mother, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Xiao's mother.

Xiao Yan entered the door and saluted, Xiao's mother raised her eyes and glanced at her, and asked lightly, "Is your body better?"

"Much better." Xiao Yan bowed his head and replied in a proper manner.

The original heroine was often used by Xiao's mother to compare her with her younger sister because of her mother's partiality towards Xiao Shu and her lack of ability.

Xiao Yan thought that it was better, lest her acting skills be ineffective in front of this sharp-eyed mother Xiao.

Mother Xiao nodded lightly and motioned her to find a chair to sit down, "I just happen to have something to tell you two."

Xiao Yan lowered his hands, and just sat on the chair next to Xiao Shu, which was closer to the main seat, when he saw Xiao Shu squinting slightly, pretending to hold a tea cup sideways, and whispering to her with a smile, "Looks like the eldest sister's body has recovered. , but as a younger sister, I still have to persuade the eldest sister to be more restrained."

Xiao Yan's mother has been single for 25 years. Today, she's still turning to meat. Do you talk to her about moderation?

Seeing Xiao Yan's puzzled expression, Xiao Shuguang landed on her gauze-wrapped wrist, and said "concernedly", "I know the eldest sister is very energetic, but I'd better not provoke those unruly and thorny people, so as not to hurt others next time."

Previously, A Li's bite was so ruthless that he could not wait to bite the flesh off Xiao Yan's body, but even if there was blood, Xiao Yan wrapped it in gauze hastily, and now there are traces of blood oozing out.

Xiao Yan lowered his head and glanced at his wrist, Lili covered his gauze with a magnanimous look, and said in a lukewarm voice, "Thank you for reminding me."

Xiao Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, took the tea cup and sipped it lightly, looking at Xiao Yan from the corner of his eye. She always felt that some aspects of this sister-in-law were different from before.

If it was before, after what she said, she must have been like a frightened rabbit, intimidating her in a restrained manner and telling her not to meddle in her own business.

interesting.

Mother Xiao waited for Xiao Yan to sit down, holding a tea cup, the tea lid lightly scratched the tea foam on the top layer, and lowered her eyes and said, "Yan'er has recovered from this serious illness thanks to your Aunt Li, I met you when I was young, Over the years, I have often communicated by letter, and my feelings have never changed. This time she can come and live there, and I am very happy."

Xiao Shuxiao followed her words and said, "If mother likes it, then let Auntie Li live in our house all the time."

Mother Xiao nodded in agreement, "I think so too, but you should be stronger than your aunt, and definitely won't stay in our mansion for no reason. I'm not worried about walking in the rivers and lakes. So I thought, it's better for our two families to kiss each other, so that she will stay even for her son. "

Xiao Yan's heart moved slightly. She hadn't even opened her mouth to beg, but this relative pointed to her?

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and looked at his pale fingers resting on the handle of the chair, and moved the tip of his index finger:

——Is this the legendary golden finger?

Xiao Shu heard the words, but her eyelids jumped wildly. She faintly had a bold guess, and pretended to drink tea and didn't answer the question.

Sure enough, Mother Xiao spoke again, all her eyes fell on Xiao Shu, and she didn't give Xiao Yan half a point, "Shu'er is the closest in age to Ah Li, and his temperament is also very gentle. After marrying Ah Li in the future, his husband and wife will definitely be harmonious. "

"?!"

Xiao Yan raised his head sharply to look at Mother Xiao, wondering if the golden finger was in the wrong place? How could she put her man on her sister!

Xiao Shu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth secretly, and squeezed his fingers tightly holding the teacup.

She knows, she knows!

This kind of "good" thing will never happen to Xiao Yan's daughter. Xiao's mother just used her age as an excuse to go back and find a noble son from a good family for Xiao Yan's daughter. The female casually used a mute to get rid of it.

The same is used for marriage, why do you have to marry a dumb? Just to let an Auntie Li who knows some medical skills stay?

Xiao Shu's cheeks tightened, thinking about how to refuse. Not to mention whether this Ah Li has ever been slept by Xiao Yan, even just his background is also disdainful. No matter how good-looking he is, he is still a mute. Xiao Shu likes waves on the bed, while Ah Li has a cold and detached look. He doesn't like crying on the bed at first glance, and he can't call it out.

Xiao Shu felt that even if it wasn't for the family background behind her husband, she couldn't marry a wooden man, Li, just for the pleasure of sex.

Xiao Yan had already recovered from her golden finger. She cleared her throat and said, "Mother, marriage can't be forced. I don't think Xiao Shu likes A Li."

As soon as these words came out, the two people in the room looked at Xiao Yan together. Xiao's mother looked into it, and Xiao Shu was even more unbelievable. The tea cup in his hand was slightly tilted, and the tea was almost spilled between his legs.

"Why?" Mother Xiao put down the tea cup, her tone was flat, "It doesn't matter if you don't like it, you will like it after a long time. I have always restrained you two from having a side attendant in the room, so that I will marry my husband in the future. Not so dirty."

Xiao's family is strict, and they despise the practice of stuffing men into her house when their daughters are just fifteen or sixteen years old. The daughter of the Xiao family, there can be no men in the house before marrying the husband.

Xiao Yan thought for a while, and said, "I am the daughter of the house, the oldest, and I haven't married a husband yet. If this concubine Xiao Shu married her husband first, she would definitely be uneasy, and she might not be able to sleep well at night. ."

Concubine Xiao Shu nodded in agreement with a smile at the corner of her mouth, she almost crushed the tea cup in her hand behind her back, and her voice came out from between her teeth, "Thank you for your understanding, eldest sister!"

Mother Xiao frowned, A Li was the only son from her mother, and it was born after middle age, and she was even more precious in her heart. Since she chose a wife and owner for him, Mother Xiao wanted to pick a good personality, and would be considerate to A Li. hate him for not being able to speak.

Among the two daughters, Xiao Shu is the most agreeable condition. And Xiao Yan... Xiao's mother sighed in her heart, she wanted to talk to her mother, not to make the two families enmity.

Xiao Yan knew very well what kind of virtue he was in the book, so he immediately took up the attitude of talking about business, and put forward the conditions that made Xiao's mother most excited, so as to achieve her goal of assigning the "project" of Ali to herself.

"It is said that the descendants of marriage will become mature and stable. Presumably, after I have a husband, I will be more self-motivated. I will take the responsibility of my own small family, and I will no longer mess around like in the past."

Xiao's mother dreamed that her daughter would have a future, and the Xiao family's family business would have successors in the future. Hearing that, she raised her eyes slightly and looked deeply at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Shu didn't want to marry A Li, let alone let a dumb person occupy the position of his lord, and now he echoed Xiao Yan's words, "I think what the eldest sister said is right, it seems that after the eldest sister's serious illness, her mind is clearer than before, isn't it? Little, think about it, you have figured it out and you are sensible."

When she said this, the original spying in Xiao's mother's eyes slowly faded, and she nodded slowly, thinking that it might be as Xiao Shu said, Xiao Yan was seriously ill, and the person matured. If that's the case, she'd be a little relieved.

Originally, Xiao Yan and Xiao Shu's position in the Xiao family's industry was that they were competitors. At this moment, they had nothing to do with their family's business, so the two actually cooperated tacitly.

Mother Xiao pondered for a moment, but did not dare to agree directly, but said euphemistically, "It's useless for me to agree to this matter alone, it mainly depends on your intention to leave Auntie." She paused, "If you really want to marry Auntie Leaving, why don't you go to your aunt's place to walk around more."

This is to imply that she is going to please her future Lord Taiyue.

Xiao Shu also said, "Bring some good things over there. I see that Ah Li's face is pale today. Maybe his body is too weak. You should send more nourishing things over there."

She didn't really mean anything when she said this, but when she arrived at Xiao Yan's place, it was inevitable that she had some thoughts. A Li's face was bad, half tired, but most of the time angry.

Xiao Yan bowed his hands and stepped back. Following Mother Xiao's suggestion, he asked the housekeeper to go to the warehouse to pick up the hundred-year-old ginseng and a lot of good things to nourish the body, and then went to the small courtyard where the mother and son lived.

Seeing Xiao Yan coming, Li Mu was quite surprised. Looking at the large and small gift boxes behind her, she subconsciously said, "Just come, what else do you bring."

Xiao Yan raised her head and glanced at her yard. She didn't say much. She looked behind Li's mother and didn't see Ah Li coming out.

"I made A Li angry today. The first thing I brought here is to make amends, and the second is to thank my aunt for saving her life." Xiao Yan saluted respectfully, even more respectfully than when facing his mother.

Li's mother heard that "Xiao Yan" was a jerk on weekdays. She usually lay on the bed with a white face and couldn't see it. Now, seeing her attitude, she was a little unsure. I wondered if what happened today was really an accident?

Reaching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Li mother said, "Ali is in the room. If I called him out, it would be fine if the young man had any misunderstandings and told him face to face."

How dare Xiao Yan let A Li come out to see her specially, she hurriedly stopped her mother, and asked embarrassingly, "Can I go in and see him?"

Afraid that his mother would refuse to leave, he immediately bowed his hands, and said with a serious attitude, "I definitely won't go overboard with A Li, please rest assured Auntie."

I've fallen asleep, what else could be more extreme than this?

Li Mu was a little worried at first, but now seeing Xiao Yan's open attitude, he immediately patted her arm with a smile, "Go ahead."

Xiao Yan asked Changsui to give things to his mother, and he only took a ginseng into it. The ginseng was placed in the brocade box, and she held it in her hand and knocked on A Li's door.

Thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with repairing the roots.

The author has something to say: A Li: Is it bad to live? Not in a hurry to send "heads"?
