Xu Xi shook his head: "That's not true." It's just that the younger sister of the Xu family, named Xu Xue, was admitted to the academy with me, and we want to be together. So I made an appointment to meet at the gate of the academy. The capital is not far from the past, so there is no hurry. ”

The old lady is everyone's beautiful lady and has the habit of eating and sleeping silently. Before coming, Qingfeng reminded Xu Xi. Xu Xi was so happy that he didn't have to talk awkwardly with an unfamiliar old lady and concentrate on enjoying the food.

There is no doubt that even if the Hou Mansion is unable to make ends meet now, it is unwilling to compromise itself in terms of food. Needless to say, the old lady's breakfast is four cold, four hot and four dim sum on the table, as well as specially boiled bird's nest porridge; Xu Xi's portion is half that of the old lady, and the dishes are not so fine. But not only compared to the Xu family, but also compared to the breakfast she casually made in modern times, it was much more hearty.

That's why she eats it extra sweet.

The old lady is young, and her appetite is not very good. I usually eat with my grandson and granddaughter, but it is the first time that Xu Xi eats so deliciously and sweetly. Unknowingly, she was also infected, and ate half a bowl of porridge and a roll more than usual.

Mama Jin saw it and was very happy.

After the meal, the old lady said: "Your aunt has a lot of things, and the whole house can't do without her." Why don't you ask your mother to take you to the academy in a moment? ”

"No, no, no." Xu Xi hurriedly waved his hand, "You don't need to be sent, just send me a carriage." It's just going to school, it's not going to do anything, and you don't need someone to send it. ”

"How?" The old lady frowned.

Xu Xi interjected before she could say the next sentence: "The old lady is really not at ease, so let Qingfeng follow me for a trip." If there is anything in the academy, I will ask her to come back and report it to you. ”

The admission notice states that students are not allowed to bring their subordinates into the college, and students have to do everything in the college by themselves. Therefore, Qingfeng only sent it away, and he would not go to the academy with Xu Xi.

had already made up her mind to show Wei's face, and the old lady naturally didn't bother to reconcile the relationship between Wei and Xu Xi. Since Xu Xi said this, she didn't insist, but said, "Then let Mama Ruan and Qingfeng accompany you on a trip." ”

Mama Ruan is the steward of the inner courtyard, representing the old lady and the eldest lady. Having her go to see Xu Xi can be regarded as representing the importance that the Hou Mansion attaches to this matter, whether it is to Xu Xi or outsiders, they have an explanation.

"That's going to bother Mama Ruan."

Xu Xi stood up: "It's not early, I have to go back and pack my things." So I'll go back to the tea house first. ”

"Be careful all the way. If there is anything, ask Mama Ruan to solve it for you. ”

"Yes."

The group left the house, got into the carriage, and went to the county town of Bac Ninh.

Wei is still waiting for Xu Xi to come and greet her. Hearing that Xu Xi had breakfast at the old lady's place, and after eating breakfast, he went to the girls' academy, and immediately became angry, and scolded: "Little hoof, I really have no conscience, I gave birth to such a thing because of my hard work and ten months of pregnancy." When he saw that people were rich, he went up and threw my mother aside, because I really grew up in the countryside, and I didn't know any filial piety etiquette. With such a person, where is he worthy of going to a girls' academy? I had to go and talk to the head of the academy. ”

Zhao Yuanliang rested in his aunt's house last night. In the Wei Courtyard, there are only a group of subordinates. Her scolding made even Mama Li dare not squeak.

It wasn't until her anger calmed down that Mama Li persuaded her, "Madam, don't say what you said just now." The old lady attaches great importance to the academy, you don't know it. If there is any difference between the five girls in the academy in the future, the old lady will have to blame you. ”

"I'm afraid of her? Old pious woman. Wei scoffed.

This "old pious woman" frightened Mama Li's face drastically, and she hurriedly went to see if there was anyone outside.

Fortunately, when Wei scolded people, the subordinates were worried about being implicated and angry, so they hurriedly went to their own places, and did not dare to stay around. There was no one outside.

Turning around, she didn't dare to persuade again, for fear of provoking something out of line with Wei's again.

The more Wei thought about it, the more angry he became, and said hatefully: "When I come back at night, I have to fix her." ”

The Hou Mansion is divided into rooms for dinner. Xu Xi is a person from the second room, and her meals will be delivered directly to the second room. At that time, Wei didn't believe that she would still stay in the main courtyard and not come back, and have the face to eat the old lady's share.

……

Since Xu Xi returned to the Hou Mansion, the Xu family of four has not been able to eat and sleep, and they are always worried that Xu Xi will not have a good time in the Hou Mansion. So everyone went out together early this morning, and waited at the gate of the girls' academy, just wanting to see Xu Xi. Even Xu Chongwen also asked the school for half an hour's leave.

As soon as Xu Xi got out of the carriage, he was hugged by Xu Xue, crying and laughing: "Sister, sister, I miss you so much." ”

Xu Xi laughed: "It's been a day apart, and I want to be like this." When she raised her eyes and saw the concerned eyes of Xu Yongyi and Xu Chongwen, her heart also became sour.

Xie Shi opened his mouth to ask Xu Xi if he was doing in the Hou Mansion, but when he saw the coachman and Mama Ruan and Qingfeng who got out of the car, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"Uncle, aunt, brother, I'm fine. Both the old lady and the eldest lady were very good to me. Xu Xi smiled to comfort them, and introduced Qingfeng, "This is my eldest girl Qingfeng." In addition to Qingfeng, I also have two little maids and a rough mother-in-law. I live alone in a small courtyard and have a study. It's good to eat and wear. ”

Xu Yongyi and Xie Shi saw that her face was ruddy, her face was full of smiles, and she was wearing a mint green skirt with Chu-colored embroidery edging, which was even more exquisite than yesterday's one, and there was one more jewelry on her head. Mama Ruan and Qingfeng's attitude was also very respectful. It seems that he is really doing well in the Hou Mansion. The hearts of the two of them were relieved.

"Okay, it's not too early, you can go in with Sister Xue'er." Xu Yongyi hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "How is it arranged for a while?" Or we'll wait for you at the door. ”

The other girls who were admitted had already inquired about the rules of the college in the past two days, whether they planned to live in the academy or go home, and how to pay the accommodation fee. But Xu Xi and the Xu family have been disturbed by the Hou Mansion for the past two days, and they don't have the time and energy to inquire about these things, so they are still blind to these things.

"Let's go in first and sign up, inquire about how to settle it, and then come out and tell you, you guys wait outside first." After Xu Xi finished speaking to Xu Yongyi and his wife, he glanced at Ruan Mama and Qingfeng again.

Qingfeng nodded, indicating that he had heard it too.

"Okay, that's it." Xu Yongyi urged, "Then go quickly." I've seen a few people go in. ”

"Okay." Xu Xi agreed, and grabbed Xie's hand, "Auntie, you have to take care of your body." In the future, Xiaoxi can't see you often. ”
