When she finished her first sentence, the old lady and the Zhu family, the two feudal parents, were uncomfortable in their hearts. But hearing Xu Xi's later words, the two suddenly understood the intention of what she said.

Having a mother like Wei's, no matter who it is, is it not at ease? Marriage is a major event related to a woman's happiness in the second half of her life, and it is completely understandable that Xu Xi is not worried about the Wei family and asks them for a promise.

The expressions on both of their faces softened.

"We never force children to marry them." The old lady said, "We would have asked for your opinion on your marriage, and we would not have decided it without saying hello." Not only you, but other children too. Marriage is marriage, not enmity. There is no benefit in forcing children to marry. ”

Zhu nodded, expressing his agreement with the old lady's words.

"Then what if the second lady sets up a family affair for me without authorization?" Xu Xi asked.

"You are a child of our Hou Mansion. Without the consent of me, Master Hou and Mrs. Hou, she can't be the master. The old lady said.

Seeing that she looked very determined, Xu Xi relaxed and smiled: "In this way, I will rest assured." ”

She stood up and saluted the old lady and the eldest lady: "Thank you, old lady, thank you aunt." ”

"No need to be polite." The old lady raised her hand, and a smile appeared on her face.

The eldest lady looked at Xu Xi with a gentle expression: "If there is anything in the future, you can come to the old lady and tell me, it is good to be as generous as today." ”

"Yes." The old lady also chimed in.

Although she was not very comfortable at first, she felt that it was good to have something to say openly. She has stayed in the back house all her life, and she has seen too many intrigues and suspicions, and prefers a frank and open-minded personality like Xu Xi.

After getting the promise of the old lady and the eldest lady, Xu Xi also took a step back and said, "Okay, I will go back to live in the Hou Mansion." But if the second lady comes to me for trouble, it will be a different matter. ”

Speaking of Wei, the old lady's face was not good-looking. She said, "I'll take care of her." ”

After negotiating the matter, Xu Xi stood up and said goodbye.

The eldest lady called her eldest maid Caidie: "You take the five girls to the tea house to have a look, if there is anything missing, go to the treasury to get it yourself, and add it to the girl." ”

Xu Xi saluted and followed Caidie to the tea house.

Pinmingju is really a small cross-courtyard built by Rongxi Hall, and I don't know what it was built for at that time. However, this small courtyard is not to enter and exit from the Rongxi Hall, but to bypass a section of the wall of the Rongxi Hall, which is considered a separate courtyard, which makes Xu Xi very satisfied.

The yard is not big, and there are few houses, but Xu Xi lives in one, one is a study, and another is a living room, which is completely enough. The houses are very spacious, and the yard is also seventy or eighty square meters, which is much stronger than the three bedrooms and two living rooms that Xu Xi bought in modern times.

The Zhu family had already asked someone to move all the things that were originally added to the second room and spread them out in the tea house. However, it was only the bedroom, and the rest of the place was just cleaned and not laid out.

Xu Xi walked around the courtyard and ordered: "The main house is used as a study, the east house is used as a bedroom, and the west room is used as a reception room." ”

When Mama Yuan heard this, she was a little embarrassed. Although he couldn't figure out Xu Xi's temper, he still dutifully said: "Girl, the main house is generally used to entertain guests. Wouldn't it be nice to use Westinghouse as a reception room? ”

"But the main house is bright, and it's just right to be a study. And I've been there for the longest time, and of course I've had to use the best and most comfortable room for my study. As for the reception, I don't have many people here, and I have very little time, and it would be a waste to use the best room for the reception room. ”

Xu Xiyi waved his hand: "Do as I ask." ”

Yes, this is the master who can't listen to opinions and is very assertive.

Mama Yuan had to instruct everyone to move the bedding and other things into the east chamber, and then move the table and chairs of the eight immortals in the main room to the west chamber.

Xu Xi looked at the main house that had been emptied, and asked Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, when you received the four treasures of the study, the eldest aunt said that those things were all for me, right?" ”

"Yes, girl."

"Now you go to the chess academy and bring all the things and put them in the study. Then ask the eldest lady if there are bookshelves and desks. If so, can you lend it to me? ”

Qingfeng was stunned by Xu Xi's familiar behavior again.

The fifth girl just returned to the Hou Mansion, shouldn't she be timid and keep to herself, dare not say a word, dare not take one more step? Why did my own girl, first quarrel with her mother, and now decorate the new house, and so unceremoniously want to go east and west.

It's Zhao Ruyu, the girl in the big house, she doesn't dare to be so blatant if she wants anything, right?

"What are you doing? Why don't you go soon? Xu Xi said.

Qingfeng endured and endured, but still couldn't help but persuade: "Girl, why don't you ...... Let's make do with the Eight Immortals table to write and read first? The girl doesn't have any books to put on the shelves, and the bookshelf is not in a hurry, right? As soon as the girl entered the house, she asked for this and that, and the old lady and the eldest lady would not say anything, but the young master and the girl in the other room would inevitably make comparisons. When the time comes, I also ask the eldest lady for something, isn't it embarrassing for the eldest lady? ”

These words can be regarded as good words, and they are very considerate of Xu Xi.

If Xu Xi wants to spend a good time in this Hou Mansion in the future, looking at other people's faces, dressing and eating, she will naturally listen to Qingfeng's persuasion. Listen to people's persuasion and eat well, she still understands this truth.

But she's not going to live here.

Although she promised the old lady and the eldest lady, she estimated that she would not be in the Hou Mansion for most of the next half of the time. And she plans to make money by herself, and she doesn't expect the Hou Mansion to dress and eat, so she doesn't have to look at the faces of the people in the Hou Mansion.

If she is unhappy, she can move out of the Hou Mansion and buy another house to live in by herself, and the wedding and funeral have nothing to do with the Hou Mansion.

People who are financially independent are so straight-waisted, humming.

"No, you just do what I tell you to do." Xu Xi waved his hand, and after speaking, he looked straight at Qingfeng, and there was a frame that she didn't listen to and even replaced her with her.

Qing Feng sighed secretly in his heart, bowed his head and saluted: "Yes." He took a step back and turned to find the eldest lady.

The eldest lady was still sitting in the old lady's room, and when she heard Qingfeng's report, she looked at the old lady.

The old lady frowned and said, "It's not too much to ask for, give it to her." ”

She is willing to give because these things are available in the Hou Mansion. Otherwise, it is impossible to spend another money to make or buy it for Xu Xi.

"Wouldn't it be too pampering for her? That's it at the beginning, and she doesn't know the importance of falling backwards. The eldest lady said.

The old lady took a sip of tea: "I talked to her just now, and you can see that she is not such a frivolous person who does not know how to measure." Listening to her, she knows the importance of etiquette very well. She didn't ask for too much, so she gave it to her first. Let's be nice to her first, and then see how she is. She doesn't have a strong sense of the Hou Mansion's destiny, if we blindly suppress it again, she will really have something to do in the future, and she won't miss the Hou Mansion. ”

She sighed: "Be nice to her first, hold her heart and then talk about anything else." ”
