The discomfort in Zhao Yuan's conscience subsided a little, and he nodded and said, "The fifth girl didn't come back so late, and the eldest lady, as a member of the family, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty if she didn't pay attention to it?" ”

However, after asking, there was no follow-up, it can be seen that they still didn't take the girl in their second room to heart, and Zhao Yuanliang still has a boss opinion on the eldest lady.

Before the carriage started, the coachman shouted in front: "Master, the carriage that went to pick up the fifth girl is back." ”

The little guy was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got out of the carriage to inquire about the news. When Zhao Yuanliang heard the news, he sat in the car and didn't move, leisurely lifted his chopsticks and took a piece of braised pork into his mouth and ate it.

After a while, the little maid came back and said, "Master, it was Qingfeng who came back, and she said that the fifth girl was left by Mrs. Xiao in the academy." She heard that the master was going to look for the fifth girl, so she came to report to you. ”

Zhao Yuanliang was stunned, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, got up and got out of the carriage, and saw Qingfeng standing in front of his car.

"What about the five girls?" He asked.

"Back to the second master, the county lord of Qingyang in Zhennan Wangfu has opened a new silver building in Bac Ninh, and it will open in five days. Because the jewelry style she prepared was not attractive enough, Mrs. Xiao begged the girl to draw more jewelry. Time was tight, so the girl decided to stay in the academy for the next few days and not come back. ”

Qingfeng said, and explained: "There are rooms for students to stay at Bac Ninh Women's Academy. At first, the old lady and the eldest lady did not agree with the girl to live in the academy, so the girl ran back and forth, but she was worried about occasional accidents or rain and snow, so she asked for a bed there to rest. The girl is going to live there for a few days. ”

"The girl asked the slave and maid to return to the old lady, lord, and lady, saying that she was very safe in the academy, and that there were also guards and maids from the Zhennan Wangfu from the silver building to the academy, and there would be nothing to do, and the old lady, lord, and lady were relieved."

"Nonsense. What jewelry drawings does she draw? How many pieces of jewelry has she seen, so she dares to draw a jewelry picture for the master of Qingyang County? If she doesn't paint well and delays someone else's business, can she afford the consequences? Zhao Yuanliang scolded.

What he meant by saying this was different from the starting point of others who underestimated Xu Xi, he was really worried about Xu Xi.

After making up for it just now, he suddenly found that this daughter was very pitiful, and his sense of responsibility as a father was great for a while, for fear that Xu Xi would not know the importance of this kind of work, and if he did not do it well, he would not like the county lord of Qingyang, not only offended the Zhennan Mansion and the British Mansion, but because of Mrs. Xiao's status as a master in the academy, she was afraid that she would not have a good time in the academy.

This daughter, after being picked up, her mother didn't want to see her, and the old lady and eldest lady didn't pay attention to it. The only thing I can count on is the identity of a student at Bac Ninh Girls' College. If she can't stay in the academy, what else can she do? When the time comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to find any good people. The young master of the Wei family is getting bigger and bigger because of Wei's father's official status, and his vision is getting higher and higher, so he may not be able to take a fancy to Xu Xi.

Although Zhao Yuanliang said that he was incompetent, self-motivated and responsible, at this time, he was a fatherly heart to Xu Xi.

Qingfeng lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

"You go again tomorrow and tell the fifth girl what I just said. You tell her to apologize to the county lord of Qingyang, the county lord of Qingyang will not blame her, don't do it. If the county lord of Qingyang is not happy, I will go to beg the old lady and the eldest lady at that time, and let them go and plead with the princess of Zhennan. She is a child, and the Zhennan Mansion will not embarrass her. ”

If the Wei family was here, they would definitely despise Zhao Yuanliang.

A big man, when something happens, he pushes the woman to the front to take care of the work, and he hides in the back and does nothing, only a mouth to point fingers there.

"Yes, the slave will definitely tell the fifth girl about this tomorrow." Qingfeng responded.

Zhao Yuanliang was satisfied, and waved his hand: "Go in."

After Qingfeng entered, Zhao Yuanliang said to the little servant: "You can take those meals to the kitchen and heat them up, and reward you for eating." Ask the kitchen to make me a few more fresh ones, and when it comes to the outer study, I'll rest in the outer study tonight. "Lest I go back and see the stinky face of the Wei girl.

With that, he turned and entered the gate.

……

When Qingfeng came back, he went to the old lady to report first.

"You mean, the second master is sitting in the pavilion, waiting for the fifth girl, and he plans to go to the academy to find the fifth girl?" The old lady was very surprised when she heard this.

Zhao Yuanliang is not a responsible father, he rarely cares about his own son, he either messes with his aunt all day long, or goes outside to drink and chat with friends, and he doesn't worry about everything at home.

"Yes."

"What did the fifth girl say? Is there anything else she'd like you to bring with you tomorrow? The eldest lady asked.

"Let the slave and maid bring the things, the fifth girl let the slave and maid pack up last night. The fifth girl asked the slave maid to tell the old lady and the eldest lady, saying that the two elders should rest assured that she was all right in the academy. Qingfeng said.

In order not to let Wei find out that something was wrong, Xu Xi sent everyone else out last night, and only asked Qingfeng to pack some necessary daily necessities and two clothes. When I sent her there in the morning, I packed her things in a piano case and took them to the academy.

asked Qingfeng to pick her up again tonight, deliberately left her to come back so late, and told the old lady and the eldest lady to send someone to the door to inquire about her news, all in order to pretend to be a fake appearance that Mrs. Xiao temporarily stayed in the academy.

Do a full set of plays, and don't let go of any details, otherwise you won't be able to hide the very scheming Wei.

"Did you girl tell you why she did this?" The eldest lady asked again, her eyes staring at Qing Feng tightly, not letting go of any expression on her face.

Qing Feng still lowered his eyelids, and his face was calm.

She shook her head: "The girl didn't tell the slave. Whatever the girl commands, the slave and maid do. ”

The eldest lady was satisfied, and said to Qingfeng: "Okay, you can go back." He turned his head and said to Caidie, "You go to the tea house with Qingfeng, and tell Mama Yuan to let her control the people in the courtyard, and don't let them chew their tongues with people outside." If the girl is not in the house for the past few days, there is anything wrong with the people in the courtyard, I just have to ask her. ”

Caidie answered and went with Qingfeng.

There was only one person left in the house, Mama Jin.

Only then did the old lady say to the eldest lady: "Fortunately, you picked so many subordinates at the beginning, otherwise, we wouldn't be so troublesome today." ”

At the beginning, I didn't know that the Wei family had hidden evil intentions, and the old lady didn't have any idea about who to choose to serve Xu Xi, she just felt that a girl in the concubine room could just point a few people to serve.

Now that I think about it, this practice is terrible.

The Wei family has the heart to let Xu Xi marry into the Wei family, just let the maid keep blowing the wind in her ears, and then arrange for her to meet the young master of the Wei family, and even let her do something with the young master of the Wei family, wouldn't it be over?
