Cuiyun and Yuanxiang's eyes were still red, and they stayed behind Xu Jiayi, looking at the people outside through the window with her. Seeing that more than a dozen of them went to Xiangqiao's side to get the deed of sale and leave, Yuan Xiang gritted her teeth with hatred and almost shattered, and scolded in a low voice, "These are ungrateful!" ”

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Jiayi's face, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not displeased at all, afraid that those people outside would affect Xu Jiayi's mood, Yuan Xiang tried to change the topic and said, "Girl, you're tired for a day, let me pinch your shoulders for you?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Jiayi retracted her gaze and replied lightly. Lying softly on the chair, his body gradually relaxed under Yuanxiang's massage, but he remembered what Yuanxiang had just said, "Since they are willing to go, it is good to let them go, and it is not necessarily good to stay." ”

"But if they're all gone, who's going to serve you, girl."

Xu Jiayi hooked the corners of her lips and smiled, "Then if I drive you away, will you leave?" ”

"Girl......" Yuan Xiang panicked instantly when she heard this, and she couldn't care about the people who were leaving, she looked at Xu Jiayi's expression with a worried face, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the corners of her slightly hooked lips, "Girl, the slave maid said it, the slave and maid will follow you wherever you go, don't think about leaving me behind." ”

"Isn't this it, you can leave if you want to, and those who stay can be single-minded. Besides, I just want to take a few of you with me, so why delay others. ”

Yuan Xiang opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw Cuiyun shaking her head slightly at herself, she swallowed her words back.

The day before Xu Jiayi was about to get married, Mrs. Su sent Mama Su over to invite Xu Jiayi to Wan'an Hall.

"Grandmother has some clothes and jewelry here, as well as a few shops on West Street, which are also handed over to you today." Mrs. Su said, and asked Mama Su to take out the things, "You can sell these shops and then go to the border to buy some new ones, if you believe my old lady, let me help you take care of it, it depends on what you mean." ”

A group of maids and maids carried several large and bulky boxes and walked in from the outside, and only after putting them down did they open the boxes, revealing the contents inside. Three of the boxes are filled with fabrics and brand-new clothes, all of which are fine Shu brocade or Suzhou embroidery. The remaining box is filled with all kinds of step shakes, bead hairpins, head and face jewelry, etc.

When Xu Jiayi saw these things, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she knelt down directly in front of Mrs. Su, who was in a hurry to help people up, but was avoided by Xu Jiayi. Xu Jiayi knelt on the ground, didn't say anything, and only kowtowed to Mrs. Su in a well-behaved and cautious manner.

Mrs. Su also had tears in her eyes, and she hurriedly wiped it off with an embroidered handkerchief, and asked Mama Su to help her up. Holding Mrs. Su's trembling hand, Xu Jiayi choked up and said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter is not filial, so I won't be able to serve you by my side in the future." ”

"What is filial piety or not, it is my grandmother who is sorry for you." Mrs. Su held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, patted Xu Jiayi's hand and pulled out a smile and smiled, "You're going to get married tomorrow, you can't cry, your eyes won't be beautiful if you cry carefully." ”

Hearing this, Xu Jiayi's tears fell even more, and she didn't stop for a long time.

Seeing this, Mama Su had already driven out all the maids in the house, and she also guarded the door herself, so that the two people inside could have a good talk. The grandparents and grandchildren in the house hugged each other and cried for a long time before they stopped their tears, and Mama Su listened to the voice and personally brought a basin of water into it and cleaned the faces of the two masters before retreating.

"Don't rush out in case of trouble, stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, endure everything if you can, let it go, but you can't let people bully it to the head and endure it, if you don't move, you have to control the enemy with one move. You are the girl of our Shangshu Mansion, and you are the wife of the prince of the Anping Hou Mansion, and no one dares to bully you in the border pass. ”

"After getting married, you will no longer be a girl, you must think twice before doing everything, and you must not act recklessly." Old Lady Su spoke out one by one, and she was not annoyed, "Hubu Shangshu Mansion will always be your home, if the Chu Shizi treats you badly, you just take Xiangqiao and a few of them back to Shangshu Mansion, and your grandmother will call the shots for you." ”

After that, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to see her granddaughter again. Although it is not the last time we will meet in this life, I am afraid that it will be about the same.

As they spoke, the grandfather and grandson couldn't help but redden.

On the day Xu Jiayi really left Beijing, the eldest princess also came.

After everyone in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion got the news, they rushed to the front door to greet them. The eldest princess didn't put on a show, and after greeting everyone, she came to Xu Jiayi's boudoir.

Xu Jiayi was also going to the front door to greet her, but now she is a bride, so she can't run around, so she can only wait in Jiaxi Garden, if the eldest princess comes, she can also ask for peace as soon as possible. Sure enough, after waiting for a while, I saw the eldest princess coming, Xu Jiayi bowed, "Say hello to the eldest princess." ”

Knowing that today's time was urgent, the eldest princess did not delay the time, and praised Xu Jiayi as soon as she came in.

"Let's go goodbye, it's hard to see each other in the future, and I don't have anything else to give you, so I'll send you eight words." The eldest princess looked at Xu Jiayi in a wedding dress, and was a little trance-like, and unconsciously thought of the scene on the day her daughter got married, with a look of nostalgia on her face.

Secretly sighed in his heart, then looked at Xu Jiayi and said slowly, "These eight words are 'watch more, listen more, learn more, and talk less'." ”

This is the truth of how to behave in the world that she has realized over the years, and it is also the survival code that she can gain the favor of the emperor. These eight words are easy to say, but even she can do it only 12/12.

"Thank you for the teachings of the eldest princess, keep them all in mind."

Although the wedding day was extremely rushed, Shangshufu tried its best to give Xu Jiayi the best.

In addition to the things specially rewarded by the emperor in the palace, everyone in Shangshu Mansion generously gave away a lot of good things, so much that Xu Jiayi smacked her tongue.

Because Xu Jiayi married far away, everyone tried their best to choose a light and easy-to-carry dowry, and Mrs. Su not only added makeup to her jewelry shops last time, but also stuffed her with a silver ticket of 20,000 taels. This money is almost the savings that Mrs. Su has saved for half of her life, but at this time, it was all given to Xu Jiayi.

After this matter was known to others, they were all envious of Xu Jiayi, although her mother died early and she had such an unreliable father, but in the end there was a good family and a good grandmother to protect her.

Despite this, Mrs. Su still felt that she had not given enough, for fear that Xu Jiayi would be wronged.

I heard that when Wang Yunxiu got married, although Mrs. Su also subsidized her own money, the amount was by no means as much as Xu Jiayi. Others thought that Zhao and Wang Yunxiu would be unhappy, waiting to see the joke, who knew that these two people were not unhappy, but they were also busy preparing for Xu Jiayi's marriage and dowry.

Both the Zhao family and the Qian family love Xu Jiayi as their own daughter, and the dowry given to Xu Jiayi has also been prepared since Xu Jiayi was a child. Now the makeup is also selected from her own dowry, and she secretly gave her a silver ticket stuffed with 5,000 taels in private.

Seeing this, Xu Jiayi hurriedly pushed the silver ticket back, and repeatedly said that she had been taken care of a lot, and she couldn't collect the money herself.

Although my grandfather was in charge of the treasury, the silver was not from their household department. Even because of this position, it is necessary to pay more attention to the money, so as not to accidentally get charged with corruption.

In addition, there are three masters in the palace who are all officials in the court, and there are many places to spend money on weekdays, and the little money of the grandfather and uncle is not enough to maintain the daily expenses of the house, not to mention the three banquets, birthday banquets, weddings and funerals in the various prefectures in Beijing.

Xu Jiayi has been following the Zhao family to learn housekeeping for nearly a year, and she is also clear about the situation in the house. Most of the expenses of Shangshu Mansion rely on the money earned by the family's shop and Zhuangzi. Although my grandfather and uncle were trusted by the emperor, they often received some rewards from the palace. But the rewards in the palace not only cannot be sold, but must be carefully placed.

Although her uncle and aunt love her, she can't be really ignorant. If the money her grandmother gave her was taken from her private treasury, she kept it to comfort the old lady, and she would return it when she found an opportunity in the future. But the money given by the Zhao family and the Qian family, Xu Jiayi can be sure that the two aunts have made up a lot of it from their own dowries.

"You take what you give it, and I don't see anyone who thinks they have a lot of money." Seeing that Xu Jiayi refused to accept their money, Zhao and Qian's faces instantly turned cold, and they simply handed the silver ticket to Xiangqiao on the side, and asked her to put the silver ticket away for the girl. Xiangqiao didn't dare to pick it up, and subconsciously glanced at Xu Jiayi, and Zhao saw this and stuffed it directly into Xiangqiao's arms.

Xiangqiao didn't take the money in her arms and didn't return it, nor did she receive it, it was very embarrassing.

Qian took Xu Jiayi's hand and said loudly, "The brothers in the house are also promising, whether they want a future or money, they need to earn it themselves, I will raise them almost enough, is it possible that I, the mother, will I have to carry them in front of them?!" ”

"You are a girl's family, so naturally you should be pampered, when your cousin Yunxiu got married, the second aunt also gave it. One by one, if you listen to the words of the second aunt, you will take the silver first. If you really have a heart, you will give it to those who are willing to take some money to honor your aunt when you have spare money in the future, but this silver is your aunt's heart, and you must accept it. ”
