Yuan Yu returned to the house from the shop, and Yuan Ziyi was waiting for him under the second gate.

Before he could get off, she pushed the pile of dried tea scallops over or something: "Xu Yong asked me to bring it to my father, what does this mean?" ”

Yuan Yu didn't expect Xu Yong to refuse to accept his gift. He went to find Xu Yong to avoid Yuan Ziyi, and it seemed that Xu Yong didn't say anything, so he lied right away and said that he didn't know, maybe it was because Lord Xu felt that there were too many things at home, so he asked her to bring them back so as not to trample on them.

He didn't believe it himself, Yuan Ziyi naturally didn't believe it even more, she was in a hurry, so he went into the backyard to bathe, and Yuan Ziyi was helpless.

Xu Ying couldn't bear the gossip heart, and after dinner, she also touched Xu Yong's room and asked about it.

Xu Yong told him about Yuan Yu coming to him, and then said: "What the shopkeeper Yuan is worried about is also reasonable, you are so good at making claims, and when the Yuan family's ancestral property is taken care of, is it really good for the Yuan family?" ”

"How can there be no one to take care of it?" Xu Ying felt that Yuan Yi really ignored Yuan Ziyi's ability, "Yuan Ziyi changed their Yuan family in a few months, and now when Yuan goes out, others look up to him, and no one treats him as a small trader." Not to mention more than a dozen shops, even if there are twice as many shops, Yuan Ziyi can take it down without a problem. ”

You don't have to do business this kind of thing, you just need to pick a few reliable and capable people to take care of the following matters, where do you need to run outside all year round like Yuan Yu? In the end, it depends on whether you have the vision to pick people.

The key is that Yuan Yu himself does not reject being an official, but he himself has no confidence.

But since he was so worried, and he specially found Xu Yong to be a lobbyist, she had to talk to Yuan Ziyi.

Xu Yong grabbed her handle while she was thinking about it: "It's okay to double it?" ”

Xu Ying paused, and hurriedly talked about going to Lu's house as a guest tomorrow. Brought this to the fore.

Lu Yiming is 19 years old.

According to Yang, in previous years, only Xu Shaochuan took Xu Yong to the house on his birthday, and later Xu Shaochuan passed away, and only Xu Yong went over. Of course, there are still some birthday gifts in each room.

This year, because Xu Ying was given a marriage, as soon as they went to the third room, other people really couldn't afford to go to this shelf. Feng originally wanted to take it, but was yelled at by Xu Shaoze, and had to take Xu Bing to clean up and get into the sedan chair. Xu Ying also wanted to go to the Lu family to have a look. So people all the way to Lu's house.

Lu Yiming is the third among the grandchildren of the Lu family. It's really his turn, and the countdown can't be his turn. In previous years, the birthday house was given an extra month according to the regulations, plus a bowl of longevity noodles cooked by the nurse, plus Xu Yong's brothers and sisters to accompany him. Of course, he should not miss the three young masters' rules. It's just that life is like a fish, and you know how cold and warm you are.

And early in the morning on this year's birthday, I got the news that several aunts and cousins in the Xu Mansion would come, Mo said that he was at a loss, and even the entire Lu Mansion was lively, after all, there were so many people coming to a scattered life. And there are not only the ladies and ladies of the left squire of the military department of the dynasty, but also the princesses and concubines who are about to enter the Rongchang Palace of Prince Duan's mansion. This is undoubtedly grand.

The Lu family received news from the Xu family yesterday that the Xu family would come, and thought that it was only Xu Yong, so they didn't take it to heart. When the people arrived, they saw Feng get off the sedan chair. Lu Yiming's stepmother and the eldest wife of the Lu family were dumbfounded, and hurriedly sent someone to Zhang Luo for refreshments, and temporarily prepared wine and food.

Wait until Xu Ying gets off the sedan chair. Mrs. Lu personally came up to help the sedan bar.

The Lu family is also a big family in Beijing, and there is no shortage of officials in the family. Otherwise, Xu Shaohui didn't have the courage to buckle the basin on the Yang family's head after his death, but their family officials are obviously not as good as their business, and they have never been stronger than the old lady of the Xu family, so it is no longer good to see the Feng family, and when they see Xu Ying again, they can't wait to carry her directly into the door.

Of course, it is an exaggeration to say this, in short, as soon as Xu Ying entered the door of the Lu family, he immediately grasped the atmosphere of this family.

Xu Bing, who came with him, never had a good face.

In the past, when they went out as guests together, she was always sought after, but now that she has been replaced by Xu Ying, of course she will be unbalanced.

However, after being taught a lesson by Xu Shaoze, he has been nagged by Feng recently, and he has also restrained a lot. There are few words throughout the whole day, and the peace is tight.

Lu Yiming couldn't hide his joy, even though Xu Yong didn't plan to stay for dinner, he tried his best to keep it.

Mrs. Lu invited the girls to accompany her, and the fourth daughter invited Xu Ying to her yard to talk.

Xu Ying has no opinion, of course she came to understand.

The courtyard of the fourth girl, Lu Mingzhu, is quiet and elegant, and the tea set used for entertaining is also good.

"I haven't seen you all these years, Sister Ying has vaguely seen you a few times, and Ice Girl hasn't seen you for many years. I don't know if you're used to my coarse tea. Lu Mingzhu smiled and whispered.

Xu Ying raised her hand and fanned the fragrance of tea, and said: "Tea is excellent tea, but the fragrance of books in your house is too heavy, which makes people admire the master's talent, but they don't have the heart to eat tea." ”

Lu Mingzhu covered her mouth with a fan and said with a smile: "When did Sister Ying become so good at touting people?" ”

Xu Ying smiled and didn't speak. This Lu Mingzhu is a clever person, and he can't be too honest when dealing with this kind of person.

Lu Mingzhu saw that she didn't speak, so she asked Xu Bing, "What does the ice girl think?" ”

Xu Bing said: "Excellent." She quietly squinted at her, a little uncomfortable with her respectfully calling herself a girl and Xu Ying a sister.

Lu Mingzhu smiled again and took Xu Ying's hand: "Originally, when the third brother's mother was still there, I also went to your house, I still remember that there is a wisteria tree in your yard, I don't know if it's still there?" ”

"It's still there."

They chatted here, although they were not very enthusiastic, but Xu Bing couldn't interject, and they were a little embarrassed to look at it.

In fact, not all of the Lu family are snobbish, but those who are not snobbish have to succumb to reality in such an environment, but this Lu Mingzhu can see that he is very scheming. But because she has nothing to do with the Xu family, Xu Ying neither wants to deliberately arouse Xu Bing's jealousy, nor does she want to show her indifference to the Lu family, so she has always been salty and indifferent.

Xu Bing sat for a long time, watching the maids outside the door come and go, and was really bored, so he interjected: "It is said that the children's birthday is the mother's day of suffering, and I haven't even seen my aunt's former residence when I came, so let's go to the second room and sit down." ”

It's rare for her to say such a decent word, Xu Ying can't help but respond. got up here, and Lu Mingzhu also stood up and led them to the second room.
