Xia Hanqiu had been waiting for her uncle's letter, but she didn't expect to see her uncle again so soon.

There was a sparse sound of rain outside, and when I saw my uncle wearing rain gear, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Did you bring clothes?" ”

"I came in a hurry, I forgot, it's okay, my clothes aren't much wet, and they'll be dry in a while."

"No, it's easy to get sick in this weather, Nian'er's clothes may be a little smaller......"

"Wear mine." Duan Ziyi, who happened to come over, hurriedly instructed the people behind him to go back to the house to get clothes.

"This man looks at the eyes, the new man?" Wet clothes are uncomfortable to wear, Xia Cong did not refuse, sat down and drank hot tea and asked, he has a good memory, and everyone who has met him remembers.

"It's my manpower outside, and it's not appropriate for me to call Qiu'er's maid all the time, so I transferred a few people in to wait." Duan Ziyi sat down at the bottom, "It's been raining for a few days, why did you choose such a day to go out, there is something urgent?" ”

"Urgent." Xia Cong looked at her niece, and saw that she nodded slightly and understood, and it seemed that what she had said to herself was not hidden from her fiancé.

He was not in a hurry for this moment, and only after Xia Cong changed his clothes and drank a bowl of ginger syrup did he take the initiative to open the conversation.

"It's so coincidental, the day after I got home, I was about to send a letter to the third brother when I received a letter from him back, your brother-in-law looks like a rough person, but how can he be really stupid if he can be Wuwei Dao Chang, the family letter sent back over the years, he never mentioned anything that should not be written, and he said that Wu Wei Dao Chang is powerful, but our Xia family obviously has a disciple of Wu Wei Dao Chang but never knows how powerful Dao Chang is, what kind of powerful method it is. Your uncle never said it, but this time, he didn't talk nonsense, he just told us to collect business, restrain our families, try to collect more food in order to cope with changes in the situation, and warned the disciples of the Xia family not to go far away. One giving is a big deal. ”

Xia Cong smiled bitterly and shook his head. "First Qiu'er's words, and then the third brother's reminder, I can't take this as a coincidence, and I found out something through some relationships. So far. I have to believe it. The Xia family is now in charge of the family, and before I came out, I had already ordered some unimportant shops to be handed over to others, and the grain store at home was slowly shrinking. Buy in large quantities and sell in small quantities, Chengyang is the root of the Xia family, and the Xia family must not cause panic. ”

Duan Ziyi nodded secretly, the Xia family has Xia Jing, and Xia Cong, who is at the helm with the idea, is very assertive, he can be stable when he should be stable, and the next generation of the Xia family is not crooked, plus the Xia family still has Qiu'er to protect, the world is in chaos, and it is not an opportunity for the Xia family to come out.

Xia Hanqiu's hands hidden in her sleeves were tightly wrenched, if she was not so sure before, now she is determined, but how to protect the Xia family in the troubled times to survive, she has not thought about it.

"Uncle, since you believe it, write to tell me, why bother to make such a trip."

"I've discussed some things with your grandfather, so I'll have to come in person for this trip." Xia Cong looked at his niece fixedly, "Qiu'er, I don't ask you how you have such ability, I only ask you, will you protect the Xia family?" ”

"Of course." Xia Hanqiu said without thinking about it: "The Xia family has never abandoned me, and I naturally will not abandon the Xia family." ”

"That's enough, I won't ask much about the rest." Xia Cong's body relaxed a little, "I have discussed with your grandfather, the third brother's family affairs will be in the Pavilion City, and at that time, all the Xia family will be invited to the Pavilion on the grounds of this matter, and after the family affairs, let them know that Wuyang City is in chaos and don't let them go back, as long as it drags on for a month, they will not be able to go back even if they want to, Qiu'er, you have to remember, no matter what you know, you have to think about the future before you say it, and you must not let people suspect you, the foundation of the Xia family is good, but it is only good, Uncle can't lend you shelter, but he still brings you danger. ”

Xia Hanqiu bit his lip lightly and nodded.

Duan Ziyi answered on the side: "Uncle, don't worry, I will protect Qiu'er." ”

"Rather than protecting after the fact, it is best to eliminate the danger beforehand."

"I made a note of it."

Xia Cong was also a little happier to see him so persuaded, but this would be more important, "There are a lot of Xia family members, in this kind of matter, as long as the Xia family is close to the Xia family, no matter how distant they are, they can't be left behind, Qiu'er, this is the selfishness of the uncle, I want to save as much as possible for the Xia family in the future, one of the purposes of my visit this time is to buy a few houses to settle the Xia family, I am not familiar with Huiting City, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to go to the Fu family for help in this matter, I can only trouble you." ”

"Don't bother, I'm also a member of the Xia family, I should do my best where I should try."

"I'll do it." Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Duan Ziyi's expression remained unchanged, "I have transferred a lot of people to the pavilion, they have already familiarized themselves with this pavilion city, uncle, you have a request, they will definitely be able to find the house you want." ”

"It's okay, Ziyi, I won't be polite to you at this time."

"It shouldn't be polite, Qiu'er kisses the Xia family, naturally because the Xia family treats her well, I will treat all those who have treated Qiu'er well."

said it bluntly, knowing that her niece was thin-skinned, and she didn't make fun of her, she said: "I roughly calculated, there are about one hundred and forty people in the Xia family, but there are still many domestic servants in the Xia family, and some of them are waiting for the master of the Xia family for generations, we can't leave them alone, plus the steward in the Xia family's shop, two hundred and four people are afraid that they can't be stopped." ”

At this time, you have to take into account the next person, I am afraid that it is the Xia family, Duan Ziyi does not dislike Xia Cong's kindness as a woman in the eyes of others, but feels that it is practical to have a relationship with such a person.

"I'll go and let people see if I can buy the piece opposite Guo's house, and I can take care of it if I live closer."

"It would be nice if it did, but I'm afraid it's not easy."

"You have to try it to find out."

Xia Hanqiu saw that the two of them had finished speaking before interjecting: "Uncle, the existence of me and Nian'er is no longer a secret, and there is no need to hide other things, others can wait until September to come over, but grandfather and grandmother don't need to be like this, just come over earlier to do the work for my uncle, what do you think?" ”

"That's what I plan, and this time I'm here to make a front stop first, lest the two of them suddenly come over and don't even have a suitable place to live."

"Can't you live here?"

"It's okay to be a guest here, but after all, this is Guo's house, so it's not suitable."

was worried that their sister and brother would feel uncomfortable, Xia Hanqiu didn't insist anymore, "Brother-in-law can almost live there." ”

"Well, I still have to go and talk to the people of the Fu family, the house over there has always been arranged by Miss Fu, and I always want her to know that her in-laws will live here in the future, and she won't be scared when she goes to the other side."

The three of them discussed some details again, but Xia Hanqiu stopped his uncle when he saw that his uncle was tired, and sent the person back to the house to rest.

The rain was getting heavier, and the breeze was blowing a little cold.

The two walked in the verandah, and Duan Ziyi changed to Qiu'er's right hand, which was the direction in which the wind was blowing.

Xia Hanqiu glanced at him, and there was a smile in his eyes.

"Uncle's plan is beyond my expectations."

"Uncle is a smart man." Duan Ziyi felt that he had underestimated Xia Cong a little before, "Chengyang is the foundation of the Xia family, but Chengyang is only a county after all, and there is not much room for development after being run by the Xia family for many years, and now there is an opportunity to move the Xia family to the pavilion, and the Xia family may not be moved by anyone who sees far, in addition, the Xia family is too conspicuous in Chengyang, once there is chaos, the Xia family will be the first to suffer, but if it is to the pavilion, it will be different, there are several famous nobles here, such as Mrs. Fu's maiden family, the He family, For example, the side branches of the Fu family represented by the lord of Fu City...... Mo said that the Xia family is white, even if it is really a noble, it is nothing to put it in Huiting City, even if there is a mess in Huiting, the Xia family will not be targeted. ”

"Huiting City will not be chaotic, but ......" but there will still be changes, but compared to any place in the ten countries of the world, Huiting is considered to have experienced the least war, thanks to the fact that Huiting City has a good city lord.

"In other words, the Lord of Fu City is a good person, and Huiting City will benefit from him."

That's why!

Duan Ziyi was a little surprised, the impression of the Fu family in his heart was that the grass on the wall was still the kind that was afraid of wolves and tigers, and Fu Rui was an outlier in the Fu family.

The character is, the nature is, even the ability to do things is not at all like the Fu family, but he is a pragmatic person, and everything is done to the point.

Huiting City has always been in the middle of the ranking in the fourteen cities of Liang Kingdom, and he couldn't see the characteristics before, he only felt that the entire Huiting looked like it was not hot, but now, he understood the stability of the Huiting.

Perhaps it is this stability that has allowed Huitingde to survive the war.

"You believe it again?" Seeing his thoughtful look, Xia Hanqiu couldn't help but ask.

"If you don't believe me, I believe you, it's okay, you will believe it in the future, don't worry, the lord of Fucheng, I will let people watch more, and I won't let him suffer."

"That's what you promised, I'll make a note of it."

With a somewhat coquettish tone, it was clearly a joke and not so serious, Duan Ziyi shook her palm, and immediately let it go again, "You just said that Pavilion City benefited from the Fu City Lord, your expression was very emotional, I guess although he saved Pavilion City, the ending will not be too good, right?" The reason why you say this is because you want me to protect him. ”

This person is too keen, for a moment Xia Hanqiu's heart was trembling, but thinking that this person was her fiancé, she was a little relieved.

I'm glad I don't have to be an enemy of such a person.

Otherwise, you will have to open half your eyes when you sleep.

"Don't be afraid, I won't calculate you even if I do my best, I just hope you can have more confidence in me, my softness is only in front of you, Duan Ziyi in front of others is not like this, everything you want to do, I can do it for you, believe me, Qiu'er, I have this ability."

Xia Hanqiu didn't answer, but in her heart, she believed it. (To be continued......)
