After some words, Xu promised to go back to Xu's Mansion directly without delay, and happened to meet Xu Pingyi, who had just returned from Luoyang.

"Big brother. ”

got out of the carriage and walked towards Xu Pingyi, who was standing in the sun waiting for her.

Xu Pingyi smiled very brightly, used his body to help Xu promise block some sunlight, and said: "How did you run out on such a hot day, I brought watermelon back, and I will put it in the ice to cool down before eating." ”

The two walked to the porch, and promised to reply: "Thank you, eldest brother, let's go to my mother's place to eat later, her house is cool, does my mother know that you are going back home today?"

"I don't know. Xu Pingyi walked forward as he spoke, handed Xu a white handkerchief, and said helplessly: "I'm sweating, and I won't wipe it." ”

"In the carriage for Meng. Xu Yu took the handkerchief with a smile, wiped it on his face, stopped suddenly, looked up at Xu Pingyi and said, "Big brother, I'll make a delicious ice drink for you." ”

Xu Pingyi stopped with the promise, looked at the lush trees in the courtyard, and asked, "Do you want to make ice and snow cold yuan or ice and snow licorice soup?"

Nowadays, the most common on the market are these two kinds of ice drinks, which were often made for him by the nurse in the past, but he never bought them in the summer after entering Beijing alone.

"It's not these two, it's a better taste, but it's the first time I've made it, no matter what the taste is, my eldest brother has to give me a face......

I didn't say much for the rest of the time, just raised my eyebrows.

Xu Pingyi chuckled, touched Xu Xu's head, and said, "If it's hard to eat, the eldest brother will endure it." ”

Xu Yu giggled: "Big brother, you are really joking." ”

"I'm serious. Xu Pingyi took his hand away from the promise, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not disappear.

The promise was sent to the inner courtyard. Only then did he turn around and walk towards Xu Gucheng's study.

When he went, Xu Gu Cheng was in the courtyard.

"Father. ”

"Da Lang, you're back, come into the house. Xu Gucheng put down his rolled up sleeves. He entered the study with his hands behind his back, and after Xu Pingyi came in, he said: "This time I have to let you go back to Suzhou, we have to give an explanation to the Zhang family, if they don't want to, then the family matter can be discussed again." ”

The words were heavy.

Xu Qian had this kind of thing in the capital, and the Zhang family must have known about it. If they felt that Xu Qian's virtue was lacking and wanted to withdraw from the marriage, the Xu family had no reason to refute it, so they decided to ask the Zhang family in advance.

After all, the two families are in-laws. There are also business dealings, and it is not good if there is a stiffness because of this matter.

"The child knows, he will leave tomorrow, please rest assured that the father. “

Xu Pingyi stood by the door dressed in white. At this moment, his hands are arched in front of him. The corners of the clothes float with the wind, and the end is the jade tree in the wind, like pine and bamboo.

Xu Gucheng looked into the distance, his eyes were deep and obscure, and said, "It's just that the weather is hot all the way south, and I have to work hard for you." ”

"Relieving a father's worries is what a child should do. Xu Pingyi took a deep breath after speaking, it didn't hurt that the road was hot, but this matter was indeed a little tricky to deal with.

"Good. Let's go and see your mother, she doesn't know you're back. ”

Xu Gucheng asked Xu Pingyi to negotiate with the Zhang family without letting the housekeeper go. One is to show that the Xu family attaches great importance to this matter, and the other is to hone Xu Pingyi, he is easy-going, has no quarrel with the world, and is now ready to take the road of official career, these things are better to contact earlier.

Xu Pingyi raised his head, lowered his arm, and asked, "Father, is it just right to have lunch." ”

"I still have to go out, no need for lunch, you go quickly, your mother has always wanted to see you after the Dragon Boat Festival, and now you are finally back and you are going to leave tomorrow, go talk to her, don't let her worry." ”

"Yes, the child is gone. ”

After lunch, Xu Pingyi told Lu Shi and Xu about going to Suzhou.

Xu Yu frowned instantly, the eldest brother is such a white and pure person, and if he goes out on such a hot day, he will definitely get sunburned.

Thinking that her eldest brother was going to suffer for Xu Qian, she was unhappy.

Lu Shi knew about this, but he didn't expect Xu Pingyi to set off tomorrow, he didn't feel good in his heart, and just said: "Later, my mother will help you pack your luggage and bring a few more clothes......

She wore a blue gown today, with lace of the same color rolling on the sleeves and neckline, she was extremely refreshing, and she had a smile on her face when she spoke, but her eyes did not meet Xu Pingyi's.

"Mother, the child will be back soon, don't worry. ”

"You're so old, my mother won't worry, don't worry, don't worry. ”

Before going to bed at night, she sat on the couch, looked at Xu Gucheng in a white shirt, and said aggrievedly: "Master, Da Lang is simple-minded and has never dealt with these things, this time let him go to Suzhou alone, I am afraid that he will not be able to deal with it, but it will hurt his self-esteem." ”

Those twists and turns in the back house, she is really worried that Da Lang will not be able to deal with it.

Xu Gucheng poured a cup of white water for the Lu family, gave it to her, and asked, "Are you so worried about the children you taught?"

Lu Shi didn't drink water, put the teacup on the table on the side, turned his head and whispered: "Siniang's child was also taught by me, and now that he has fallen to this point, where is his self-confidence?"

Xu Gucheng shook his head helplessly, his deep gaze became dim, and he said softly: "Wan Niang, I sent Su Ye to protect Da Lang secretly, if Da Lang has any difficulties, he will help, don't worry." ”

After hearing this, Lu Shi turned around, with surprise in his tearful eyes, and said happily: "In this way, I am relieved." ”

During the day, she looked relieved in the face of her children, but she was still worried in her heart, and now she knew that Xu Gucheng secretly sent someone to protect Da Lang, so she was relieved.

Ming Jinka, Xu Promise is also worried about this matter.

She sent July out to help her spread the word, but she didn't see July come back at the moment, and after walking back and forth in the house dozens of times, she was ready to go out in person.

Chuntang stopped the promise and said, "Wait, don't worry." ”

"I'm not in a hurry, it's just that it's so hot that I want to go out and breathe. ”

The eldest brother is going to Suzhou tomorrow, and she only found out today! After dinner, she came out of Yingcheng Courtyard, worried that someone would not be able to go out of the house casually, and some arrangements could only be made for July to help her communicate, but July had not returned until now, which inevitably made her anxious.

Just as he was about to go out, he heard footsteps outside the house.

The footsteps of July.

July knocked on the door and promised to reply hurriedly: "Come in." ”

"Lady, according to your orders, everything has been arranged, there will be two teams of people going south with Da Langjun, one team pretending to be businessmen going south to do business, and the other team secretly protecting. ”

July saw that Xu was in a hurry, and was annoyed that he had come back too slowly.

Xu Promise nodded, and after walking for an hour, his legs and feet finally stopped, fanned the wind with his hands, and asked, "The two teams that will leave tomorrow are the ones I chose, right?"

What she took over from Zhu Shang was not only the store, but also his connections and the people he cultivated.

Not long ago, she transferred some martial arts masters from Suzhou back, but she didn't expect this to come in handy.

"Yes, it's all the people you chose. Lady, the little one came back late, which made you worry, but the little one also got a piece of news. ”

"What's the news?"

"When the little one passed by the door of Brother Shuye, he found that he was packing his bags, and he thought that Ah Lang also sent him to protect Da Langjun. July clasped her hands behind her back, and a pair of big eyes watched as Promise waited for her reaction.

After hearing this, Xu Yu laughed: "I know that my father will not let my eldest brother go south alone." ”

Chuntang rolled his eyes in July, since you know, why are you like ants on a hot pot after returning from dinner?-

Small theater

July: Lady, Da Langjun is a dignified eight-foot man, why do you bother so much?

Promise: The eldest brother lacks the eyes, if he is abducted by a lady, the Xu Mansion will not lose a lot? You know, your lady relies on your lady's appearance to improve her aesthetics. (To be continued.) )
