Xu Xi saw that both of them said they had no opinion, so he said goodbye and went to the academy.

When she got out of the carriage, she told Lu Bo and Qing Feng to pick her up at two quarters of an hour in the evening, and the place of pick-up was changed to the teahouse opposite Yulong Court.

After school that day, she and Xu Xue went to the Silver Building. Xiao Ru and the guards of the Zhennan Royal Mansion picked them up at the gate of the special academy.

Originally, Xu Xi planned to come by himself and let Xu Xue go home after school, but Xu Xue refused. She said that she wanted to take a look at Xu Xi's design jewelry, and she learned from it after a long period of knowledge. She had already told Xie Shi.

When she said this, Xu Xi didn't say anything more. She actually wanted to take Xu Xue with her to have more knowledge.

Shopkeeper Wang heard her coming, personally went downstairs to greet her, and explained with a smile: "My young lady was originally coming, I told her that she was here, and you were afraid that you would not be able to concentrate on your work, so she went back." ”

Regardless of whether this was true or not, Xu Xi was very satisfied with Xiao Ruotong's absence, and thanked Shopkeeper Wang repeatedly.

Xiao Ruotong is not only her teacher, but also her boss. The two don't know each other well. If Xiao Ruotong is here, she still has to spend her time entertaining. In just two quarters of an hour, she hopes to draw as much jewelry as she can.

According to Xu Xi's instructions, Shopkeeper Wang asked people to bring all kinds of jade and gemstones to a box, and said, "Miss Xu, you are busy, go down and see them decorate the house." ”

"Shopkeeper Wang, please."

As soon as Shopkeeper Wang left, Xu Xi looked at all kinds of raw materials, thought about it for a while, and then picked up his pen and painted.

She had already seen the jewelry atlas of Changming Pavilion, and last night she showed her the shopkeeper Wang, and she already knew the jewelry styles of this era. Now she just takes out the jewelry styles that she has seen in her previous life and are different from this era, and designs and draws them with raw materials.

I don't know how much she drew in her previous life, and she had a plan in her head, and half an hour later, she had drawn a design. In addition to the whole drawing, there are also dimensions and detail drawings.

Looking at the dripping in the room, she put down the pen, rubbed her neck and stood up, circled the design drawings and put them in the painting tube, and handed them to the maid who was guarding the side to bring her tea and water: "You tell the shopkeeper Wang to prepare some thick paper next time, and then prepare some charcoal strips and half a cooking cake, I will use this to draw jewelry drawings more easily." However, I have some trouble buying this, and I have to worry about the preparation of the shopkeeper Wang. ”

As she spoke, she gestured to what she had left: "Just make the paper as thick as possible, it doesn't need to be the same as this one; The charcoal strips are prepared in this way. ”

She earns extra money, and she can't always ask the eldest lady for things; She didn't have the time or where to buy that particular paper. So simply call the silver building to prepare.

Anyway, these things are worthless except for paper. If you want to come to Yinlou with a lot of money, you don't care about this.

The mother-in-law agreed, and said with a smile: "Miss Xu, do you want to wait any longer, the old slave will go to report to the shopkeeper Wang." ”

"No need." Xu Xi greeted Xu Xue, and the two went out.

Seeing this, the mother-in-law could only tell the maid to take care of the things in the house, and sent Xu Xi out by herself.

When he returned to the Hou Mansion, Xu Xi saw a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who did not belong to each other, and the two of them counted the rice grains in the bowl one by one on the table against the food on the table.

Xu Xi had no choice but to let Qingfeng go to the kitchen to bring his own food, and eat with the two of them, while persuading: "You guys are like this, before the uncle comes back, the second lady is suspicious." ”

She looked at the eldest lady again: "Auntie, have you shown any clues in front of the eldest young master?" If the second lady is suspicious and has a crime prevention, the second lady can suppress this matter with all her strength. When the time comes, you want to get justice, but it's going to be difficult. ”

She didn't know that the eldest lady had determined this matter, how to deal with the Wei family and the second room, she didn't interfere in this matter and didn't ask, but she still had to ask for the necessary reminders.

The Wei family is now in power, but Wei's father is not a big official, but he has power; The Hou Mansion has a knighthood, and there is nothing to rely on, even if the Zhu family can make a move, they can only fight evenly with the Wei family.

When the time comes, Wei ran to the old lady and cried and begged, and then promised to give some benefits, maybe the old lady asked the eldest lady to endure this breath for the benefit of the Hou Mansion.

The eldest lady had no intention of eating, but when she heard Xu Xi think so thoughtfully for her, she was very thoughtful, so she simply put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to Xu Xi: "Don't worry, I won't be so stupid." I'm like this in front of you and the old lady. Other times, they will find excuses to prevaricate and not arouse suspicion. ”

Xu Xi was relieved.

She used chopsticks to sandwich two chopsticks dishes for the two of them: "Eat more, uncle comes back, and the family may not be in trouble." If you don't eat and sleep well, where will you have the energy to deal with it when the time comes? ”

This sentence really reminded the eldest lady.

Yes, once this is confirmed, she still has a big battle to fight. So before that, you have to eat and sleep well, keep your spirits up, and at the same time think about how to hit with one blow.

"Mother, Sister Xi is right. You can refresh yourself. Master Hou and I, I have to count on you. The eldest lady looked at the old lady expectantly.

The old lady nodded: "Don't worry." I am such a son of the Father. Who will I help you if I don't help you? ”

Xu Xi gave the two of them two more chopsticks dishes, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she watched the two of them cheer up and eat.

After the three of them finished eating, Xu Xi was about to say goodbye, when he heard a maid come to say: "Old lady, the second lady is here." ”

The old lady was picking up the tea cup handed to her by the maid, and she almost didn't burn herself when she heard the words.

She withdrew her hand and glanced at the eldest lady, looking a little worried: "She didn't see anything, did she?" "Otherwise, why did you come here all of a sudden?

"Probably not." The Grand Lady shook her head.

Usually it's fine, the old lady doesn't want to see them. Therefore, the people in the second and third rooms, except for the morning of the first and fifteenth days of the new year, usually do not meet the old lady.

And if the second and third rooms don't ask her for anything, they don't take care of each other very much.

Xu Xi comforted the old lady on the side: "If she sees it, I'm afraid she won't be here to see you." ”

The two were stunned, the old lady relaxed, and said to the eldest lady self-deprecatingly: "I have eaten rice for so many years, and no little girl can see clearly." She instructed the maid, "Let her in." "I have returned to my usual calmness.

The eldest lady glanced at Xu Xi approvingly.

When Wei came in, he didn't seem surprised that Xu Xi was here with the old lady, and he was a little happy anyway.

She saluted the old lady, called the eldest lady again, and immediately looked at Xu Xi, as if waiting for Xu Xi to salute her.

The eldest lady has long regarded Xu Xi as her own child, and now she sees that Wei is waiting for Xu Xi to call her "mother" and salute her, and she can't do anything in order not to startle the snake, so she is anxious and uncomfortable.
