MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 18 aunt

Ah Shu's headache became more and more painful.

There are still a lot of things to do today, but suddenly I heard that the two aunts and sisters are coming in the afternoon. She had no time to use the breakfast, so she quickly picked two spacious and bright rooms with suitable locations, and asked people to wash them quickly while going. Pick the right items in the warehouse.

She didn't know what the temperaments of the two aunts and sister-in-law liked, and there was no one around to inquire, so she could only make some decorations according to Liu Yusu's frugal style, adding some unique incense burners, candlesticks, screens and other things. Thinking that the two of them were women, she picked up exquisite jade hairpins, etc., and sealed two lacquer boxes as gifts.

When everything was ready, it was noon, and finally someone came to report, and the two of them were coming.

Ah Shu was busy riding the carriage, and the Confidence Palace went to the city gate to meet her. She was worried all the way, pinching the corner of her skirt and froze.

When she was changing clothes just now, Queer chose several gorgeous and gorgeous dresses for her to show her respect on the grounds that she should be respectable when she first met her aunt. After hesitating for a moment, she still chose another slightly plain lotus-colored robe with no decoration, only the embroidered belt around the waist was tightened, so that the waist was full of grip, slender and foldable.

She was not afraid of others, but only Liu Xiu's sister-in-law, the deceased Liu Xiu's widow, Mrs. Fan, was really uneasy, for fear that when Mrs. Fan saw her, she would think of the Empress Dowager Zhang who killed her husband.

I'm going to meet you today, it's the first time we meet, you should be more cautious.

At the same time, outside the city of Xindu, a team of hundreds of people was walking in the distance, with a spacious troika guarding the center. There were two women sitting in the car, one was about twenty-six or seven years old, wearing high buns and plain clothes, no hairpins on their bodies, graceful faces, delicate eyebrows, and in their arms, a child between the ages of 1, 3 and 5, was Liu. His wife, Mrs. Fan, and her two children.

Mrs. Fan was born in the downfalling family of the East County, the Fan clan. Her ancestor was a general who was personally appointed by Emperor Wu. Unfortunately, her descendants did not have a good career and did not make much achievements. When Mrs. Fan's father was in her generation, she had to be a small commander. He had a similar door, and admired the name of his clan, so he married his daughter. The two have been married for more than six years and have a pair of children under their knees.

Next to her was another little woman of thirteen or fourteen years old, with a bun and plain clothes, with similar eyebrows and eyes to Liu Yuzhi, but nothing like his gentleness, only three points more lively and flamboyant, but it was Liu Yuzhi. Sister Liu Zhao.

The four of them also lived in Chang'an. Because Liu Xiu had heard about the direction of the stroke last year, he secretly felt that it was not right, and persuaded Liu Xi to send his family back to Dongjun, which made them escape.

After he left Chang'an, he was afraid that someone who wanted to take advantage of it, so he secretly ordered people to go to Dongjun and ordered them to come to Jizhou.

And the leader of these hundreds of people is a weak young man riding a tall horse. The young man was born beautiful and handsome, with high spirits, his face as white as powder and his eyes as black as lacquer, he could be called a gentleman with a jade face.

This person's name is Fan Xiao, and his courtesy name is Ziyu. He was just last year when he was extremely crowned. He was Mrs. Fan's cousin. A few years ago, his father, brother, and relatives were all killed in the refugee uprising. This time, he escorted him all the way from Dongjun to Xindu.

He has always been unrestrained, unrestrained and graceful. Since he has never been to Xindu, he turned around and shouted at the people in the carriage: "Sister, wait for me to explore the way first!" Laughing and galloping forward.

Madam Fan stuck her head out of the car and glanced at the younger brother, then shook her head helplessly: "This child must have been bored along the way."

Liu Zhao also stuck his head out, looking at the city gate of Xindu not far away, showing a somewhat happy smile: "It's finally here, I'm about to see my brother." But just after he finished speaking, he saw the plain on his body. Yi, his mood immediately fell, and he murmured, "It's a pity that the eldest brother is no longer here."

Mrs. Fan's gentle face froze slightly, a haze flashed across her eyes, she lowered her head, and did not answer any more.

Fan Xiao, who was riding a horse outside, had already rushed to the gate of the city at this moment, and at a glance, he saw the beautiful shadow of lotus and lotus among the people who were waiting.

It was a young little woman, dressed in a curved suit, standing in a pavilion, her face could not be seen clearly, but her figure stood out, her waist with a clenched grip and a skirt that fluttered, set off an extraordinary fairy appearance. When I got closer, I saw her blue silk like clouds, graceful and graceful, bright like the bright moon, skin better than snow, looking forward, dazzling, soft and demure, very pitiful, really a rare beauty.

His mind was swayed, his eyes were stunned, and he immediately guessed that this was Zhao Ji, the newly married Liu Yu, who was famous in Hebei.

If he didn't live up to the fame, it was a pity that he was born - he looked back at the carriage that was approaching, and felt regretful.

At this time, A Shu had noticed this weak-crowned young man who came alone on a horse. Seeing him looking at him from time to time, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

In a short while, the frame was approaching, and the young man also walked closer, dismounted with a smile, and bowed to her: "I think this is the new sister-in-law, right? My surname is Fan, and I have a single name."

Ah Shu had never heard of Fan Xiao's name, but from the name Fan, she guessed that he was probably a relative of Mrs. Fan, so she gradually relaxed her vigilance and smiled at him. Just before she could speak, she heard a crisp female voice from the slanting thorn, revealing indescribable willfulness: "Where is the new sister-in-law? Brother Fan, why didn't I see it?"

It was Liu Zhao who had just come out of the carriage. I saw her raised her head and her chest, and her slightly immature face had an undisguised look of contempt.

Rao Shi had already made up his mind before he came, but he still didn't expect Liu Zhao to be so straightforward. Who would have thought that such a modest and polite person as Liu Xiu would have such a self-willed younger sister?

The smile on her face froze, she didn't know what to do for a while, she just froze in place, and after a while she called out "uncle and sister" softly, and explained, "Your Majesty first arrived here, and I have been busy with government affairs recently, and there will be another hour or two. It's time to go back."

Liu Zhao still wanted to speak sarcastically, but now Mrs. Fan also spoke from the car to stop her: "Azhao, don't talk too much, hurry up and go first." After that, she said gently to Ashu, who was about to bow, " But Zhao Ji? Thank you for coming, everyone is tired, so let's go first, no need to be more polite."

Fan Xiao had already sent the people, and since they went to the military camp outside the city to find Liu Yu, the rest of the group went to the city again.

As soon as they arrived at the Xin Palace, A Shu got off the carriage first and hurried to wait in front of Mrs. Fan's carriage.

Liu Zhao was still arrogant, raised his head, passed by, and entered the door.

Mrs. Fan smiled at her, and together with the nurse, turned around and carried the two children down, leading them in together.

Po Nu and A Dai were two young children who were beautiful, with yellow hair hanging down, and they were all staggering beside Mrs. Fan from left to right. When they looked at Ah Shu, Tong Zhen's eyes showed some curiosity.

Ah Shu felt cute in her heart, so she couldn't help but smile at the two children. The innocent and gentle appearance fell in the eyes of the children, and she was very kind. Po Nu and A Dai also giggled.

Liu Zhao and Mrs. Fan's two rooms are adjacent to each other, not far from the west side of the palace where Liu Yu lives. After Ashu sent people in, he ordered them to pour the syrup, and at the same time, he brought the two prepared gifts. As a gift for two people, I also specially brought snacks that children like to eat.

Madam Fan, just like the talented Duanya, took her thanks very gently, as if she didn't care about the younger brother and sister in front of her, but the daughter of the enemy who killed her husband, she just said modestly: "It bothers you, this is a family, and you will not be able to look up in the future. Look down, you don't have to be so polite."

Liu Zhao was so angry that he couldn't stand it down. He snorted and said to Mrs. Fan, "My sister-in-law is too soft-hearted, and my eldest brother's bones are not cold. When are we going to be a family with this woman?"

When Mrs. Fan heard the words "the bones are not cold", her hands on her side couldn't help tightening, and the corners of her smiling lips also faded.

There was silence in the room for a while, and A Shuyuan felt guilty. At this moment, she couldn't help biting her lower lip, lowered her eyes, and dared not look at Mrs. Fan.

However, Mrs. Fan returned to normal in a short time, and waved at Liu Zhao, "Since Zhao Ji is married to Zhong Yuan, she is the wife of our family, so don't mention it any more."

Liu Zhao was dissatisfied, but seeing Madam Fan's tired face and worried eyebrows, he stopped. She was close to her sister-in-law, so she turned her head high and said to Ah Shu: "Sister-in-law is tired, you should go first, and then let us know when Brother A comes back."

After saying that, he didn't even look at Ah Shu anymore, just like sending an ordinary maid.

Mrs. Fan didn't help her either, she just closed her eyes and fell asleep, looking lazy, completely different from Cai Cai.

Ah Shu looked embarrassed, and her heart was full of anger, but she didn't feel good, so she got up and left.

Que'er was standing outside again and could hear clearly. After walking some distance, she couldn't help but said angrily: "As a young aunt, you should salute your sister-in-law to say hello, how can you treat Ashu like that?"

Ashu recalled the closeness between herself and her sister-in-law when she was in Handan in the past, and couldn't help sighing.

That Liu Zhao and Mrs. Fan seem to be very close, and she herself is afraid that she will not have the luck to live in harmony with her sister-in-law in this life.

Seeing that she was silent and her face was not good, Queer thought she was in a depressed mood, so she cautiously added: "It's that Mrs. Fan, who is as virtuous as rumored."

When Ah Shu heard the words, she recalled Mrs. Fan's actions carefully. She had vaguely heard before that this Mrs. Fan was of ordinary origin, but she had a gentle temperament, was submissive and had a virtuous reputation, and was famous in Dongjun when she was young.

When I saw it today, it was indeed true. Even if Mrs. Fan treated her, the daughter of her enemy, she was still gentle and appropriate.

She was also grateful for Mrs. Fan's attitude just now, and she breathed a sigh of relief. But the appearance of Mrs. Fan just before she left made her hesitant.

In the end, it is the big revenge of killing her husband, who can let go so easily? And just now, she clearly cared about her husband's death, but she just kept on enduring it.

If you say this so-called rumor, you can't believe it. For example, Liu Yu, Ah Shu knew that he was completely different from the rumors. How do you know that Mrs. Fan is not good at whitewashing and forbearance?

In the evening, Liu Yucai came back in a hurry.

Before Ah Shu changed his clothes, he heard him ask, "How is Ah Zhao?"

What he said was actually asking Liu Zhao if he was in trouble along the way. His little sister, he knows it all too well.

Because Liu Zhao was a young girl, she was spoiled a bit when she was young. In recent years, he and his brother have been running around a lot, and they have no time to control her. If she is older this year, her temperament has not been calmer and softer.

Ah Shu thought that he was afraid that his sister would be wronged, so he only said: "Everything is fine with my uncle and sister. I just ordered someone to inform him. I think that soon, my uncle and sister will come to see the king in person."

However, Que'er was by her side, but she couldn't listen anymore, so she said boldly, "The young lady is good, but the queen is not so good. The young lady treats the queen like a servant girl."

A Shu was startled by her sudden words, then she stared at her and shook her head quietly, motioning her to stop talking.

Liu Xiu loves his closest relatives and family, and will definitely not want others to comment at will.

However, he was not as she expected. Instead, he rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, shook his head and sighed, "This child is getting more and more unruly."

Ah Shu was still stunned, and heard Liu Zhao's voice from outside the house: "Brother!"

This shout was full of excitement, completely contrary to the cynicism that Ah Shu heard in the daytime.

When everyone looked around, they saw that in the lower court, Liu Zhao trotted in with his skirt and two maids behind him, leading Po Nu and Adai to walk slowly.

As soon as he stepped into the room, Liu Zhao couldn't help but talk, rushed into his brother's arms and hugged him, then pulled his sleeves and said to him, "Brother, long time no see, Ah Zhao misses you so much! Po Nu and A Dai also I read my uncle at home every day."

As she spoke, she took Liu Yu to the couch, as if she hadn't seen A Shu, and deliberately ignored her.

Liu Yu frowned, but stopped, pulled the sleeves out of her hands, pointed at Ah Shu and said, "A Zhao, you haven't seen your second sister-in-law yet."

Liu Zhao seemed to be unable to believe his ears, stared at his serious-looking elder brother with wide eyes, and asked, "Brother, her mother sent someone to kill her elder brother, you not only married her, but also asked me to recognize her as her husband. Sister-in-law, how can you be worthy of your eldest brother like this!"
