Xu Qirong remembered that after his father refused to succeed Xu You in his previous life, there was a disagreement between the big house and the fourth room, and Qiao's even sneered at Xu Qirong when he saw him. Even, when participating in other people's flower viewing banquets, Qiao's would say that Xu Qirong was not good in front of his wives and ladies.

It can be seen that Qiao's kindness to himself at this time is nothing more than to please Master Xu Si and make him simply agree to the succession.

After determining Dafang's thoughts, Xu Qirong couldn't sit down in Shui Yuexuan, so he gave the things he brought to Qiao's family, and got up to say goodbye and leave.

Before leaving, he glanced at Xu Hui'er's pitiful appearance, couldn't help but feel a little compassionate, and said to Qiao's: "Auntie, I still have to send things to other rooms, it's boring to be alone, let Sister Hui'er accompany me, okay?" ”

Qiao Shi smiled and said to Xu Qirong: "You are her elder, you can do whatever you want her to do." He said to Hui'er in a cold voice, "Follow your fifth aunt well, don't make your fifth aunt unhappy!" ”

Xu Hui'er timidly agreed, and then stood behind Xu Qirong in a proper manner, waiting for Xu Qirong to leave first.

Out of Shuiyuexuan, Xu Qirong said to Xu Hui'er: "Sister Hui'er, you should go to your mother-in-law to make rules more in the future!" "Gu's weakness is good at being weak, at least he doesn't dare to be harsh on Xu Hui'er, a concubine.

Xu Hui'er said: "Mother said that she has a lot of maids and wives there, so she doesn't need me to serve her." ”

Xu Qirong stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Hui'er, and the two walked side by side: "The maid is the maid woman, you go to your mother to make rules, that is called filial piety!" ”

Xu Hui'er lowered her head, thought for a long time, and held back a sentence: "What the fifth aunt said is true." Hui'er got it. ”

Xu Qirong sighed in his heart. In her previous life, she taught Hui'er to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, but unfortunately this child was trained by Qiao's very much, and became submissive, just like a puppet in a puppet show, anyone can bully twice. Teach her how to fight for her own interests, she promises to do well every time, but when it comes to the end, she still doesn't dare to do what Xu Qirong taught.

Xu Qirong really couldn't talk to Xu Hui'er like this, and she knew that if she let Hui'er go at this time, she would definitely go back to Qiao's to make rules again.

So he simply said to Yu Xia: "You ask the mother-in-law to send things to each room, I'm tired and don't want to go." Seeing Xu Hui'er's lost expression, she couldn't help but feel a little funny, and hurriedly said, "Hui'er will go to my yard to play for a while, okay?" Or come with me to play with my second sister, she is very bored alone. ”

Xu Hui'er nodded hurriedly: "Listen to the fifth aunt." ”

Xu Qirong thought all the way, and felt that he couldn't talk to Xu Hui'er, and Xu Qijin couldn't talk to Xu Hui'er. When the time comes, he will smile with Xu Qijin, and this child will inevitably be sad if he can't interject. So he simply took Xu Hui'er back to Fenghua Courtyard.

Xu Qirong thought about it and asked Jade to go to the study to prepare, since the two of them had nothing to talk about, it was better to write with a pen and a pen.

Master Xu Si is a father who has never been harsh on his daughter, not to mention that Xu Qirong and Xu Qijin's deceased mother, Shen, are also a rich master. Therefore, in Xu Qirong and Xu Qijin's small study, there is no shortage of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and there are many books and scripts that Xu Si specially bought and suitable for children of their age.

Xu Huier is different, she can't even make new clothes a few times a year, how can she have spare money to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone by herself! It's the ones that were sent by the public, and they will be asked by Qiao's to paint some tricks!

Therefore, as soon as she entered Xu Qirong's small study, Xu Hui'er's eyes were not enough, and she looked at the neat books on the bookshelf for a while, the rows of brushes on the pen shelf for a while, the few pieces of good ink that were placed on the table at will, and the thick rice paper for a while, which was divided into several types, suitable for painting, suitable for writing large characters, suitable for copying scriptures, and suitable for copying and rubbing......

Xu Qirong put away the scriptures he copied before, told Jade to move another chair, and when he turned his head, he saw Xu Hui'er's eyes full of envy and longing, and he couldn't help but feel sour...... She really didn't want to show off her wealth in front of Xu Hui'er!

When Xu Hui'er saw Xu Qirong looking at her, her face turned red, and she pursed her lips and whispered, "Fifth Aunt is really amazing!" ”

Xu Qirong thought about it, but he didn't understand what he was so good at. Seeing that the chair had also moved, he beckoned Xu Hui'er to sit up. personally picked out a pen for Xu Hui'er and said, "Do you want to write or draw?" ”

Xu Hui'er looked at the pen, couldn't bear to refuse, thought about it, and said, "I saw that the scriptures that the fifth aunt just copied were copied for the fourth grandmother, right?" I heard that the day after tomorrow is the dojo of the four grandmothers, and Hui'er also wants to copy a volume of scriptures for the four grandmothers, but she is afraid that she will not be able to copy it well. ”

Xu Qirong nodded: "Copying scriptures without reading calligraphy, sincerity is good." Then he said to Jade, "You go and get a copy of the Diamond Sutra and give it to Sister Hui." ”

Xu Hui'er glanced at Xu Qirong gratefully and thanked her in a low voice.

Xu Qirong sighed, what kind of child has he been raised! I thought about it again, since Xu Hui'er copied the scriptures, it should be quiet enough not to affect her. Then copy the scriptures yourself! So he instructed Jade: "Light incense and let the little maid bring warm water to clean my hands and Sister Hui'er." ”

Xu Hui'er was a little surprised, she had already begun to enlighten, and knew that copying scriptures should be burned and bathed, but she thought, how can it be so troublesome to really copy scriptures as written in the book, it is not enough to have paper and pen and sincerity! Now seeing Xu Qirong instructing the maid to light incense and bring water, I realized that the book was not said casually. I couldn't help but have a sense of respect for Xu Qirong.

Xu Qirong was furious by Xu Hui'er's respectful eyes, but she couldn't say anything, for fear of scaring her. I had to try to ignore myself.

After copying the scriptures, Xu Qirong left Xu Hui'er for lunch. After lunch, Xu Huier was afraid that she would affect Xu Qirong's lunch break, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left. Xu Qirong didn't keep her, she thought about the matter of adopting, she should still ask her sister to see if she knew something.

As soon as I entered Xu Qijin's house, I saw Xu Qijin sitting on the bed, leaning on a soft pillow, embroidering on a piece of lilac-colored brocade.

When Xu Qijin heard the movement, he saw that it was Xu Qirong who came, pinned the needle to the thread, and said with a smile: "I just wanted to ask you to come to my side for dinner, but I didn't expect you to play with Hui'er." ”

Xu Qirong picked up Xu Qijin's embroidery work and looked at it, it turned out that the embroidery was scriptures, and said: "I just went to the eldest aunt's room and brought Hui'er back." ”

Xu Qijin raised his eyebrows: "That's a poor child." Or if you have patience, I can't play with her. ”

Xu Qirong smiled bitterly in her heart, she can't play with Hui'er, okay! It's nothing to copy the scriptures together, and when the Tao is eating, Hui'er looks like she can't sit still and tremble and dare not pick up the vegetables, which makes her feel depressed.

Thinking of the events of the morning, Xu Qirong didn't dare to be careless, thought about it, and said with a smile: "I didn't accompany my sister to lunch, so I just took a nap with my sister." ”

Xu Qijin hurriedly shook his head: "I'm still sick, it's not fun to give you my illness!" ”

Xu Qirong thought about it, and was right, so he said: "Then bring a quilt, I'll sleep on the couch outside." ”

Seeing Xu Qirong so insistent, Xu Qijin was a little surprised. But her sister is willing to be close to her, she is still very happy, thinking that Xu Qirong has been in Yangzhou alone for a few months, she can't bear to refuse. really asked the maid to hug the quilt, watched Xu Qirong take off her shoes and outer clothes, and personally helped her press the quilt, and then gave up.

When Xu Qijin was sleeping, he didn't like to have a maid guarding him, and when he saw that the two sisters were about to start taking a nap, he put the green gauze tent and the green gauze tent and the window shade with a cloth, all of which were in place, so he rushed out, leaving the two maids to guard outside the door.

When everyone was finished, Xu Qirong got up with the quilt and climbed on Xu Qijin's bed, saying as he crawled: "Let's have a quilt for each person, it's okay." ”

Xu Qijin was speechless: "I knew you wouldn't be so honest!" ”

Because Xu Qirong was wearing less, Xu Qijin didn't dare to pull and pull with her, for fear that she would catch a cold, so he helped Xu Qirong drag the quilt onto the bed, let Xu Qirong lie down, and press the quilt.

Xu Qijin was plunging the corner under Xu Qirong's body, when she heard Xu Qirong whispering in her ear: "Sister, do you know about Daddy's step-brother?" ”

Xu Qijin was stunned for a moment, withdrew his hand, and asked with a stern face: "Where did you hear about it?" Who sued you for this? ”

Xu Qirong thought about it and felt that it was better to answer these two questions: "You don't care how I know, I just know!" ”

Xu Qijin frowned: "Daddy is still so young, how can he think about stepping into the fourth brother?" After the fourth brother, what if we have a younger brother in the future? Besides, the fourth brother fights cocks and lackeys all day long, and his father doesn't look down on him! Don't talk nonsense, Daddy isn't stupid. ”

Xu Qirong shook his head: "Daddy doesn't have this idea, others don't necessarily don't have this idea!" As he spoke, he told him about meeting Xu You today, and then he went to Shuiyuexuan to investigate.

After Xu Qijin listened, his expression was very strange: "It's just that someone was installed in my house, how can you think about this matter?" ”

Xu Qirong said seriously: "This is a woman's intuition, look at it, I didn't guess wrong!" ”

Xu Qijin snorted: "You little girl knows what kind of woman's intuition!" After laughing and scolding, his face sank, and he said, "If the eldest uncle's family has such thoughts, they will inevitably deceive people too much!" Why does he think that our father will not have a son in the future! If it really comes to the day when he has to pass the step, there are so many good children in the clan, how can it not be his turn Xu You! ”

"That eyeliner ......" Xu Qirong thought about it, decided to believe Xu Qijin again, gritted her teeth and told her what Yu Xia told her, and then said, "Sister, you will love me and take care of me like a mother, right?" ”
