Chapter 38: Parting
When Xu Yongyi heard this, he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.
He is business-minded, and he can see that this cold dish made by Xu Xi is definitely a good deal that can make money. Therefore, his mind now is to hurry up and start the business so that he can make a lot of money quickly. He didn't think about the details at all.
"Details determine success or failure", although Xu Yongyi has never heard of this proverb, he also understands this truth.
The neighbors in the county house are all small citizens, and many of them are jealous of others and do not look down on others. If Xu Xi doesn't remind him today, when his business starts, there will definitely be people chewing the root of his tongue everywhere. It is difficult to build a reputation for buying and selling, but it can be destroyed overnight. Xu Xi finally gave him the good deal he came up with, and it would be ruined in his hands when the time came.
"Sister Xi, don't worry, Uncle will clean up the house and yard. When you usually cook cold dishes, you must also pay attention to hygiene, and never make people eat bad stomachs. He swore and solemnly assured.
Seeing that he listened to his words, Xu Xi was very happy.
Xie Shi was grateful, and hurriedly grabbed a chopstick dish and put it in Xu Xi's bowl: "Come, eat more." ”
Seeing Xu Xi eating sweetly, she sighed: "I don't know when I will be able to eat with you." ”
This made everyone sad.
Xu Yongyi glared at Xie Shi: "Eat well, why do you mention this?" Sister Xi is studying in the academy, and we have moved to the county again, so it's not easy to meet? ”
"That's it." Xu Xi smiled, "I'm close to you, far away from the Hou Mansion." It's just a matter of lifting our feet to meet. ”
Xu Chongwen, who had been silent, raised his head, looked at Xu Xi and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Xu Xi asked, "Brother, do you want me not to go to the Hou Mansion?" In the memory of the original owner, Xu Chongwen has protected his two younger sisters since he was a child, and he is an excellent elder brother.
Xu Chongwen shook his head: "It's not." As he spoke, he silently took a mouthful of rice into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and his eyes drooped slightly, "I just don't worry about you going to that place." I heard that that kind of big house has a large population and is very complicated. I'm worried you're being bullied. ”
Xu Xizheng has chicken soup to pour for Xu Chongwen.
"Brother, if you want me and Xiaoxue not to be bullied, you have to be promising. If you are admitted to Xiucai, raise people, or even become an officer, others will have to weigh and weigh if they want to bully us. ”
"yes, that's the reason." Xu Yongyi took over and said, "Chongwen, you have to work hard to study." ”
"Hmm." Xu Chongwen nodded vigorously, "Our husband said that I can give it a try next year." ”
"Really?" Xie Shi became excited, "You husband really said that?" ”
"Hmm."
"Then you'll have to work hard." Xie pulled the egg custard into Xu Chongwen's bowl, "Eat more." ”
Xu Chongwen avoided: "To Sister Xi." ”
Xu Xi was helpless: "Why can't I even eat an egg custard when I go to the Hou Mansion?" That's too miserable, isn't it? So brother, don't push around. Whether we can eat chicken thighs in the future or not depends on you. ”
Everyone laughed.
At that time, three carriages with the sign of the Hou Mansion slowly drove into Xiaorong Village.
The carriage of the Hou Mansion has been coming every day for the past few days, and the villagers in Xiaorong Village have become numb. Who doesn't have a lot of work to do? I can't eat melons and I can't eat enough! So now those who followed the carriage of the Hou Mansion and came to Xu's house to watch, there were only a group of little children and a few old ladies who had nothing to do and gossip.
That day, the Wei family and Zhao Ruyu's dislike were seen by the Xie family, and they were angry, feeling that they had lost face to Xu Xi. So after Mama Ruan left yesterday, she swept the yard and swept it, rinsed it with water, and put all the chickens in the chicken coop so that they would not run around the ground. When she woke up this morning, she cleaned up the house inside and out again.
However, the dirt yard and the old and simple furniture, no matter how she cleaned up, it was not much better than the original.
It was still Mama Ruan and Steward Liu who accompanied Mrs. Hou Zhu, accompanied by a grandmother and a maid beside Zhu.
Zhu got out of the carriage, as if he hadn't seen the Xu family's simple mud house, took Xie's hand and walked towards the hall, said a few words to her, and looked at Xu Xi's appearance and said: "I see that Sister Xi is the child of our Hou Mansion, she is not like her father and mother, but like her uncle." ”
Xie didn't see the Marquis of Suiping, he only thought that Zhu was talking about the scene. After all, because of the little red mole behind Xu Xi's ear, it has been determined that this is the child that Hou Fu held by the wrong person, and it doesn't matter if it looks like it. Zhu said this for the second lady Wei's round.
She smiled: "Unlike my father's mother, there are many children, some are good and some are good, and some are good and bad." Our sister Xi is a good one. ”
Zhu laughed heartily: "You're right. ”
