Xu Yongyi just asked casually, which was equivalent to talking to himself, and he didn't expect his daughter to give him any answers. After all, this daughter, who has lived in a small village since she was a child, has never seen much of the world, is innocent and simple, and eats and sleeps all day long, he and Xie Shi thought about finding her an honest son-in-law, and they didn't expect her to make any progress.

Even if they followed Xu Xi into the girls' academy, they felt that they were blessed by Xu Xi, and they didn't treat Xu Xue as a person.

I didn't expect Xu Xue to say such insightful words.

"Did you think of that? Or who taught you? He especially didn't believe that this was his daughter's own idea.

Xu Xue looked at her father in surprise: "Of course I think so." Who can teach me? ”

"Yes...... In this case, did you really come up with it yourself? Xu Yongyi said, afraid of hurting his daughter's heart, so he hurriedly added, "It's really insightful." You didn't understand anything in the past. ”

Xu Xue blinked and understood what Xu Yongyi meant.

She said to her father with great emotion: "My sister has been telling me to think deeply about everything recently, and not just look at the superficial phenomenon. So no matter who I saw during this time, I watched their every move and thought about what they meant by saying these things and doing these things. Probably a lot of this, and I don't understand anything like I used to. ”

She held her head high and her expression was smug: "I have to grow up after all." Dad, you can't treat me like a kid anymore. ”

Xu Yongyi couldn't help but reach out and touch his daughter's head, feeling and relieved, and becoming more and more grateful to Xu Xi.

If Xu Xi hadn't persuaded him to let his daughter go to the girls' academy at the beginning, if she hadn't often mentioned Xu Xue, Xu Xue estimated that even if she got married, she would still be like that without worrying about everything, where could she grow up like this?

……

Xu Xinda hurriedly returned to the silver building and asked the shopkeeper Huang: "Where are the two masters and the two sons?" ”

"I've gone to Zhuangzi."

A few people didn't come to Yinlou on purpose today, but passed by here when they went to Zhuangzi, and came to see by the way. Because the fifth master had never been to Beining County and wanted to go out for a walk, he went to Dongshi.

Xu Xinda knew that today's matter was explained by the fifth master, and even the second son was not easy to deal with, let alone that he, a small owner, could be the master, so he simply told Huang Xing about the matter.

He said: "In this matter, I hope that the shopkeeper Huang will go and discuss with the second son." If it is usually just a trivial matter, but today the fifth master met this Miss Xu and mentioned that he wanted to cooperate with her, and the second master was afraid that it would be difficult to explain. ”

Hearing that Miss Xu's sister had a marriage contract with the second son, Huang Xing also broke out in a cold sweat.

But after thinking about it, he said, "No." The Hou Ye of the Suiping Marquis Mansion is surnamed Zhao, not Xu. This Miss Xu really said that she was from the Hou Mansion? ”

Xu Xinda nodded and said with certainty: "I won't hear it wrong." Turning his head to look at his housekeeper, "You also heard it next to you, did she say that she was the young lady of the Hou Mansion of Slow Ping?" ”

"Yes, that's right."

"That's weird." Huang Xingdao, "Isn't it an impostor? But who is so bold as to dare to impersonate Miss Houfu? No, I have to report this matter to the second son quickly. ”

He thought for a while and said, "Now that the second son is with the second master, the fifth master, and the eldest son, let's look for it, the impact is not good." Anyway, this matter is not in a hurry, wait for the second son and them to turn around, if they pass by Beining and go to the silver building to rest, then take the time to talk to him. ”

With Fu Yunlang's lesson, now Huang Xing no longer regards himself as a subordinate of Xu Xinda, but as most of the master of this silver building, and he is directly in charge of everything, and no longer looks at Xu Xinda's face.

Huang Xing originally represented Fu Yunlang, but now that he is tough, Xu Xinda faintly guessed the identity of the second and fifth masters today, and he no longer has the heart to fight for power.

He nodded obediently, without the slightest objection: "Then listen to the arrangement of the shopkeeper Huang." ”

Seeing this, Huang Xing was very satisfied.

Xu Xinda didn't know about the affairs of the Hou Mansion in Pingnan, but Huang Xing, as Fu Yunlang's key training subordinate, couldn't be clearer about the affairs of the Hou Mansion.

Although Fu Yunlang is Fu Yunkai's younger brother of the same father and mother, he is emotionally close to this younger brother who is only one year older than him, but he is a little jealous.

After all, Fu Yunkai can be literate and martial, and he followed his father to the army since he was twelve years old, and now although he is only sixteen years old, he is already a member of the arsenal of the military department.

And this is only a position that Fu Yunkai followed his grandmother's order to temporarily leave the army in order to get married, and returned to the capital. His future goes far beyond that.

When he gets married and keeps an heir, he will go to the army again, and with his military exploits, he will only be promoted faster. With his ability, sooner or later he will take over his father's position as a general.

Pingnan Hou's wife Dong has only two sons, the eldest son wants to inherit the Hou Mansion, and the Dong family is not happy and has no choice. But for her youngest son, she is unwilling to send him to the army to endure hardships. Therefore, Fu Yunlang has always been detained by his mother's side, and he is much stronger than many children of Xungui's family in the capital, but compared with his dazzling brother, he is a firefly to Haoyue, and there is no comparison at all.

Now that Fu Yunlang has finally gotten the Dong family to delegate power and let him take care of the housework, Fu Yunlang naturally wants to make some achievements in this regard, so that his father and relatives and friends will be impressed by him.

Therefore, the business of Yulong Pavilion is nothing to the Pingnan Hou Mansion, but it is the first general task that the second son takes care of, and there is no room for loss.

……

Xu Xi returned to the Hou Mansion, entered the Hanging Flower Gate, and was about to ask the mother-in-law guarding the door, when he saw a person sitting on the stool next to him, it was Wei. Mama Li and the little maid in the second room stood behind her.

The mother-in-law guarding the door smiled stiffly at Xu Xi's face and said, "Fifth girl, the second lady has been waiting for you here for a long time. ”

Wei stood up and said to Xu Xi with a loving face: "Sister Xi, I haven't seen you for a few days, my mother really remembers you in her heart, and wants you to go back to the second room with me for a meal." Your father often asks about you. ”

"Not really. Fifth girl, you are the meat that fell from the second lady's body, how can a mother not remember her daughter? You have been out early and returned late these days, and you have only eaten by yourself when you come back, don't you know how much the second lady blames herself? She also had some clothes made for you and two pieces of jewelry. ”

Mama Li said, took a burden from the little maid's hand, and opened it to show Xu Xi.

Sure enough, there are two dresses inside, and the material shines with the unique luster of high-end satin, and the color is quite bright.

Mama Li opened a small box on top of her dress, revealing the two pieces of jewelry inside. The same is a hairpin, and the other is a collar, both of which are gemstone-inlaid with gold, and the end is shining with gold, which is very luxurious, and the mother-in-law who guards the door is full of envy.
