The eldest lady nodded.

After thinking about it, she went to the warehouse in person, chose two rosewood bookshelves and a rosewood desk, and picked out small objects such as pen holders, paperweights and a few paintings and calligraphy, and sent them to Pinmingju.

Mama Yuan is also an old man in the Hou Mansion, and she thinks more than Qingfeng. However, she was old and didn't directly advise Xu Xi, and she was apprehensive when she watched Qingfeng leave.

At this time, he was really taken aback when he saw that the mansion not only sent things according to Xu Xi's request, but also sent a lot more. What surprised her the most was that these things were sent by the eldest lady herself.

She couldn't help but look at Qingfeng.

Qingfeng has entered the mansion since she was six years old, and she has achieved the position of a second-class maid in Rongxi Hall, and she knows best how to be cautious in her words and deeds. The conversation between the old lady and the eldest lady, she did not intend to mention it to anyone. What's more, she and Mama Yuan are not in the same place, and the two are not familiar with each other. Not only are they not acquainted, but the two are also competitors - who the five girls rely on more is the first person below Pinming Curie's own son. She is now on the same starting line as Mama Yuan, so she naturally has to compete for this position.

Therefore, she just couldn't see it, and instructed the rough mothers-in-law to move things into the study.

When Xu Xi heard that the eldest lady was in person, he hurriedly greeted her and thanked her again.

The eldest lady smiled: "I heard that you are going to decorate the study, and I don't know if you like these things or not." If you don't like it or if you're missing something, just let me know. ”

"The eldest aunt picked it, it must be a good thing." Xu Xi smiled and ordered, "Auntie, please sit in the house." Leaning on the cui, serving tea. ”

The eldest lady waved her hand: "No need, I still have a lot of things to do there, but I don't have time to drink tea." By the way, there is a library in the house, if you like to read, you can go and check it out. She pointed at Qing Feng, "Qing Feng knows where it is, you have to go and ask her to lead you directly." ”

Xu Xi was overjoyed and hurriedly blessed himself: "Thank you, auntie." "What a gift for her.

She wants to understand the world, and reading books is the fastest and most convenient way.

"Okay, you're busy, I'm leaving." The eldest lady acted neatly, threw down a sentence, and left with the maid.

Xu Xi sent the eldest lady away, instructed the maid to set up the table and bookshelves according to her ideas, and then put on the four treasures of the study and the pen holder and other small objects taken back from the Guanqi Academy, and then hung up the calligraphy and paintings sent by the eldest lady. Looking at the room that had become book-scented, she nodded in satisfaction.

Everything else is OK except that the shelves are empty.

In the afternoon, Xu Xi practiced calligraphy in his new study, and when he heard the "wisdom value +2" broadcast by the system, he felt very pleasant.

The dinner in the Hou Mansion has always been eaten by each room. But when Xu Xi came back today, the old lady asked people to set up a family banquet, and the men's and women's tables were separated by screens.

I don't know if Wei was beaten by the old lady, or if he restrained himself in front of the rest of the Hou Mansion, although Wei had a straight face, he didn't have any moths. The family had a meal in harmony.

"Qingfeng." Before going to bed, Xu Xi asked Qingfeng, "When did everyone go to greet the old lady in the morning?" You remember to wake me up. ”

Since the ancient times, her life has been so green. Because there is no entertainment, the Xu family's life is frugal, and they are reluctant to spend lamp oil, so they always go to bed when it is dark. Although it is the end of summer and it gets dark late, it is also dark. Besides, two meals a day, eat dinner early, and when you have nothing to do after eating, you just go to bed, so as not to be hungry too late and unable to sleep.

Because if you go to bed early, you will wake up naturally early. When Xu Xi was in Xu's house, he usually got up as soon as it was dawn. It was not at all difficult for her to get up early now to greet the old lady.

Qingfeng was a little embarrassed: "The old lady likes to be quiet, so she doesn't ask everyone to go to ask for peace every day." Please be safe only on the morning of the first and fifteenth days of the new year. ”

These rules should have been taught to Xu Xi by the second lady, who was a mother-in-law, and she should have taken it with her for the first time. Now the fifth girl is unwilling to be disciplined by the second lady, and the old lady and the eldest lady don't have the energy to take care of these little things, so they are stumped by Qingfeng now.

She is a subordinate, and it is really difficult to give Xu Xi advice.

When Xu Xi heard this, he thought for a while: "It's okay, I have to go to the academy tomorrow, and I have to say goodbye to the old lady." Let's go and say hello early. Many people are not to blame. ”

"That's what the girl said." Qingfeng was very approving.

Well done, no one says anything; If you don't do it well, wait for someone else to pick the girl's thorn.

After all, the girl had just returned home, and now even the second lady didn't protect her. If she doesn't do it thoroughly, how can these people in the house chew their tongues behind their backs.

Early the next morning, Xu Xi didn't need Qingfeng to call, she woke up naturally. She was slapped by Wei yesterday, and then rolled an egg and smeared the ointment sent by the eldest lady, but there was no trace on her face.

She finished washing up and went to Rongxi Hall, and the old lady only got up for a while. When I saw her coming, I was surprised and looked at Qingfeng.

Qingfeng followed Xu Xi, and naturally hoped that his master would have a good life.

She was busy brushing Xu Xi's good impression: "The slave maid said that the ladies, young grandmothers, and girls in the house all came to greet the old lady on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. But the girl said that she was a newcomer, and she always had to show her filial piety, so she got up early today to greet the old lady. ”

This made the old lady's heart very iron.

She does not lack Xu Xibiao's filial piety. But Xu Xi can know the etiquette and know that he came to greet the old man, which shows that this child still knows the rules very well.

"Not exactly." Xu Xi looked sincere, "Today, Ruxi is going to the academy, and he always has to come to say goodbye to the old lady, so he will go with him by the way." ”

The old lady laughed when she said this, and beckoned to Xu Xi: "You kid, why are you so honest?" Qingfeng has said good things for you, and you still poked her, what should you do after you call her? ”

Qing Feng blushed and laughed.

"After getting along for a long time, the old lady will know, I am a straight person, I don't like to twist and turn, there is one to say, there is two to say." Xu Xidao.

She naturally has a city government, but she is impatient to fight with the people of the Hou Mansion. She is not determined to be in the Hou Mansion, and she is impatient to deal with people, so she has to set up an upright person in the Hou Mansion first. Another way to say Geng Zhi is to be stunned. Such a person speaks and acts straightforwardly, and others will not worry too much about her, avoiding a lot of trouble.

In addition, the old lady has stayed in the back house all her life, so she doesn't believe that Qingfeng's words can please the old lady more than her own words.

Sure enough, the old lady prefers honest children to scheming. Looking at Xu Xi is even more pleasing to the eye.

"It's just right, you're here, just have breakfast with me." The old lady said, instructed her subordinates to bring Xu Xi's breakfast together, and asked her again, "Is there a time when the academy has set for arrival?" ”
