protect our patriarch

Chapter 38 What sorcery did the fourth brother cast?
……

Standing in front of Wang Shouzhe was a very well-dressed middle-aged woman. She had a bead hairpin on her head, jade bracelets on her hands, high cloud boots on her feet, and a luxurious colorful moiré silk skirt. The famous lady of the city.

In addition, she had carefully groomed before coming, with powder on her face and a little crimson lips.It doesn't look like a 40-year-old person at all, but a 27-year-old mature woman, which shows that she is usually well-maintained.And the eldest brother Wang Shouxin should spoil her very much, and he is more used to it.

It's just that his eyes are a little red, and he obviously only cried not long ago.

What is extremely rare is that she is also holding a large bamboo basket, which is covered with a red cloth.

Seeing Wang Shouzhe being so polite, Mrs. Xu's nervous emotions and hostility in her heart dissipated a bit, and she immediately returned the ceremony honestly: "Clan. Xu pays respects to the fourth uncle."

"Sister-in-law is very polite." Wang Shouzhe smiled very sincerely, "Sister-in-law is here, please go to the side hall to rest, and my aunt is also there." He politely led Mrs Xu into the side hall.

Xu's expression tightened, and when she saw Gongsun Hui, she hurriedly and respectfully saluted: "Xu's visit to Madam Hui." She has always been arrogant and arrogant. The mentality of marrying.But no matter how arrogant she was, she still didn't dare to pose in front of Shanyang Gongsun's direct daughter.

What's more, Gongsun is still the wife of the former patriarch, the mother of the current patriarch, and her elder!

"Hey, it turns out that the trustworthy family is here, which gust of wind brought you here?" Gongsun Hui said with a little coercion, but with a smile on his face, "Come here, sit down and talk, just in time. Have a taste of the Shanyang Spirit Seeds that Shouzhe's grandfather and grandfather planted."

She put on the tone of an elder, and used the phrase "the trustworthy family" to directly emphasize the identity of the Xu family as Wang Shouxin's daughter-in-law, obviously a kind of warning.

"No, no, how dare I sit in front of Mrs. Hui." Xu shi smiled awkwardly. She didn't expect Mrs. Gongsun to be there, otherwise she wouldn't dare to come to Wang Shouzhe at this time.

Moreover, the tea that their mother and son drank was a spiritual tea, so how could she drink spiritual tea with her status in the Xu Clan in Changning?As for marrying Wang Shouxin, let alone...

"Fourth Uncle, you are the backbone of the family." Mrs. Xu showed a slightly flattering smile, handed out the basket in her hand and said, "Sister-in-law just sees that your practice is too hard, so I will send you some fresh ingredients to replenish your body. This will not disturb your mother and son's conversation..."

After all, she put down the basket and prepared to leave.

"Sister-in-law, hold on." Wang Shouzhe stopped him with a smile, "It's rare for you to come to my side, let's have a cup of tea first. And I haven't seen my brother Shouxin for a long time. I heard that he happened to be back to the main house because of something, so I said Let the servant go and invite him over and have a meal together."

"This..." Xu shi was a little flattered, but looked at Gongsun Hui with some trepidation.

"Shouzhe is the head of the Wang family, he asks you to sit as you please." Gongsun Hui's attitude was a little kinder.

Only then did Mrs. Xu sit down awkwardly. Although she was dressed luxuriously, she did not show any extravagance in front of Gongsun Hui, who was dressed more simply.

Wang Shouzhe called Wang Gui in and instructed: "Instruct the big kitchen to cook a large piece of pork and pork meat sent by the four old masters, and the meat should not be too simmered. Besides, we will find another skilled cook to come to our yard. Open a small stove and cut two catties of Lingjiao yak meat. Well, also bring the pot of spirit wine, and you can take care of the rest of the fresh fruits and vegetables."

"Yes, Patriarch. By the way, Master Six sent someone to send a fresh red-scaled eel into the family's ice cellar, and the most precious eel's blood was also processed into blood tofu, saying that it was caught by you, Patriarch, and belongs to your private library. , you are only allowed to eat alone." Wang Gui reminded.

"Hehe, ignore what he said." Wang Shouzhe laughed, "Cut a piece of the best red-scale eel in the middle, and even bring the blood tofu. The rest will be put into the public treasury and distributed according to needs, so that everyone can have a taste. You arrange. After that, go and invite my trustworthy brother."

"Yes, Patriarch." Wang Gui led the order to retreat.

"Fourth Uncle, this, this is too rich...and it costs you too much." Xu Shi's body was shaking, and he said weakly, "Make it simpler, simpler."

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Wang Shouxin is my eldest brother, and you are my eldest sister-in-law. It is rare for our family to get together for dinner, so how can we be casual?" "Sister-in-law first taste this little spirit seed of Shanyang, it's good to drink it while it's hot."

Xu shivered and took a sip of the tea, the bitterness and unique flavor of spirit tea hit her heart.For a moment, she felt like crying.

She has been a girl for 19 years in the Changning Xu family and 21 years in the Wang family in Ping'an, but she has never had the blessing to drink a cup of spiritual tea.The first cup of spiritual tea in this life was actually invited by Wang Shouzhe.

Originally, she came here, and she had already made plans to beg him.If it really doesn't work, he is going to do that shit and scolding the streets to make things bigger and alarm all the clansmen.

For the sake of her son, she can't take care of anything, and she can't be afraid of anything.

But she never imagined that Wang Shouzhe, the noble descendant of the family and the patriarch, would respect her so much and treat her sister-in-law so much.

"Fourth Uncle, that, that..." For a moment, Mrs Xu felt that she couldn't speak.Wang Shouzhe treats her and his wife so kindly, maybe things will turn around.

"Sister-in-law, are you talking about Zong Wei's child?" Wang Shouzhe didn't intend to evade this question at all, but said with a smile, "I've already thought about this matter, I'll wait for the elder brother to come, and let's talk and talk. Sister-in-law, please eat some snacks to pad your stomach first."

"Yes." Mrs. Xu hurriedly swallowed her words, and looking at Wang Shouzhe's attitude, it seemed like she wanted to hold on to it, but she was still a little uneasy in her heart.

Not long after, the family cook came. After meeting Wang Shouzhe, she was about to make a fire in the small kitchen in the courtyard, but was stopped by Wang Shouzhe: "Don't be too busy, just cut the fresh ingredients, Lingyak beef and Cut the red scale eel into thin slices and place it on a plate, the thinner the better. In addition, build a brazier with high-quality charcoal, and prepare a clean copper basin and water, as well as some salt."

Although the cook was inexplicable, she dared to disobey the order of the head of the family, so she followed her words.

"What are you doing, Zheer?" Gongsun Hui asked curiously, "What kind of brazier are you building on this hot day?"

"Auntie, you'll know in a while." Wang Shouzhe smiled, "This is a cooking method I saw in ancient books. It's unique and delicious."

"You, it's getting harder and harder to understand you. Just don't waste your precious spiritual food." Gongsun Hui suppressed her curiosity and took Xu's hand to warm it up.She was very surprised by the way Wang Shouzhe dealt with Wang Zongwei's affairs. At least he didn't rely on the prestige of the patriarch to force him with arrogant means.

However, based on her understanding of the Xu family, she should not give up casually.Therefore, Gongsun Hui was even more curious about how his son would deal with the next thing.

After a while, Wang Shouxin came in a hurry under the leadership of Wang Gui. As soon as he entered the room, his face became cold and anger came, and he scolded Xu Shi: "You ignorant woman, how dare you, How dare you come to Shouzhe..."

Wang Shouxin is 43 years old this year. He has a face with Chinese characters and a beard. He looks quite calm and prestige.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu didn't eat his way at all, and the temper suppressed by Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui suddenly exploded: "Wang Shouxin! What nonsense are you talking about. Zong Wei is like that, how can I not Come and beg your brother to let him go? Zong Wei is my son, do I just watch him get killed by you? Or watch his future be compensated by that... being robbed by Wang Luotong?"

As usual, it is estimated that her loser has blurted out.But in front of Wang Shouzhe and Gongsun Hui, she never dared to say these words, so she swallowed them in a hurry.

"You, you... Shouzhe is the patriarch, not to mention that little beast should be beaten and punished." Wang Shouxin blushed and said angrily, "If you hadn't protected him... I would have..."

However, this set of his is obviously unable to suppress the Xu family.

"Sister-in-law, eldest brother." Wang Shouzhe prevented them from arguing more and more fiercely, and waved his hand to stop them immediately, "It's all a family, what's the noise like? They all sit down to eat first, and talk slowly while eating."

"Yes, uncle." Mrs. Xu immediately obediently put away her shrew's aura, sat down honestly, and said gently, "I listen to my uncle, they are all family, don't make noise, let's be reasonable."

"hiss!"

Wang Shouxin on the side sucked in a breath of cold air, and he was in shock, what kind of magic did the fourth brother use?It was the first time in his life that he saw Xu Shi so well-behaved and obedient, instantly suppressing his violent temper, and being reasonable?
