Xu Xi is different, joy, anger and sorrow, everything is on the bright side; If there is any need, just say it; What to say, to be blunt.

She is also smart, very has a sense of the overall situation, can see the movements of the entire court, can analyze the situation of the entire Hou Mansion, and can make overall considerations for the Hou Mansion. Thinking about it, her analysis is all on the point, maybe things will really go the way she says, and people can't help but do something, just in case.

This wisdom and wisdom, this overall situation, this sensitivity to politics, and this good heart for the entire Hou Mansion are not available to the well-bred son Zhao Jingli, but they appeared in Xu Xi, who grew up in the countryside.

Such a child, if it is really born to the Zhu family, the old lady is naturally happy, and this joy can even dilute the frustration caused by the separation of the family; But if it is confirmed that Xu Xi was born to Wei......

Thinking of this, the old lady let out a long sigh: then she can only accept her fate.

The children of the Hou Mansion are stronger than the grandmother, and this branch of the grandmother can not only hope that food and clothing will be worry-free, safe and secure, what else can they want?

In fact, it is good to be able to have no worries about food and clothing, and be safe. She probably shouldn't have had any more expectations.

Thinking like this, the old lady seemed to let go of the burden of her whole body.

At worst, that's it, isn't it?

The shock that the old lady was subjected to, as well as what she thought, was exactly what Xu Xi wanted.

She was the one who had read it, although she had flipped through it because it was not to her liking, and she did not remember all the details of the book. But because of her good memory, she still remembers the general plot and content.

The Hou Mansion is going to be raided. And the root of the family is the third master Zhao Yuankun.

He was in a hurry to climb up and fell in love with the prince, but the prince failed to force the palace, and the emperor imprisoned the prince and directly angered the people under the prince, and everyone was beheaded and confiscated. Zhao Yuankun was beheaded, and the Suiping Marquis Mansion was raided. The original owner was kicked out by her husband's family and died of starvation.

Now that she's here, she's not going to sit idly by and watch these things happen.

But if she wants to change the future fate of the Suiping Marquis Mansion, she must have a say in this family. So she set up a straightforward and upright character from the beginning, she dared to say anything, said anything, the old lady will find her foresight, her political acumen from her words, and find that everything she says is very reasonable, and it will even be fulfilled soon.

In this way, the old lady will pay attention to every word she says. Her words will also account for the heaviest weight in this family. In this way, she can gain the right to speak in this family.

Her goal now is to broker a separation.

Xu Xi was not disturbed by these things, went back to Pinmingju to eat, memorized the knowledge that the masters said in the morning step by step, and then read the jewelry album given to her by the shopkeeper Wang, and fell asleep.

Now when the masters are lecturing on it, she is taking notes, and she can earn dozens of points every morning. After ten years, the masters finished the basics and began to let them play the piano, play games, and draw by themselves, and those points could be brushed up one by one.

So she doesn't have to spend time earning points now.

The next morning, Xu Xi had breakfast and went to the old lady to say goodbye, and met the eldest lady who came back very late yesterday.

The eldest lady's face was full of tiredness, and it was obvious that she hadn't slept all night, but her eyes were amazingly bright, and her spirit was unprecedentedly good.

As soon as she saw Xu Xi, she held her hand and smiled: "This time, I was able to find Wen Po so smoothly, thanks to your portrait." ”

She pulled Xu Xi to sit down, and said: "That person has a distant cousin, when he was a child, his family suffered a disaster and received the favor of his mother-in-law's father-in-law, and when he grew up, he got a job in the yamen to catch a quick job. After Wen Po encountered this, she went to find him, and changed her household registration through his relationship. ”

But the man had died of illness a few years earlier. I sent someone to investigate, but I only found here, and I couldn't find any clues. Later, I had two portraits of you, and I took them to the person in charge of the household registration that year to identify them, and after stuffing some money, I found her new household registration, and continued to chase them down in this way, and it didn't take a few days to find her whereabouts. ”

Xu Xi nodded and asked, "Have you sent someone to Jiangnan now?" ”

"Master Hou went with my brother early this morning. I've done the math, and I'll know the news in about ten days. ”

The eldest lady said, and affectionately stroked Xu Xi's hair with her hand: "If you persuade the old lady, the old lady will tell me." Don't worry, when the Hou Ye comes back, I will not only investigate the responsibility of these people back then, but also divide the family. ”

In fact, she has long wanted to break up. She is also very tired of managing the food and drink of this big family. It's just that the old lady doesn't agree, and she can't either.

She always wanted to wait for the whereabouts of Wen Po to be found, figure out this matter, punish the Wei family, and mention the separation of the family by the way. I never thought that Xu Xi would directly persuade the old lady.

"The day after tomorrow is the end of the day. I had discussed with the old lady before, and the confession banquet would be held after the matter was clarified. The eldest lady said again.

"Okay." Xu Xi naturally did not disagree.

"Old lady, aunt." Xu Xi said, "Master Xiao, who teaches calligraphy in our academy, is the county lord of Qingyang in Zhennan Wangfu. She loves the jewelry drawings I designed. Now she plans to open a silver building in Bac Ninh, and wants me to draw jewelry drawings for the silver building, can you see it? ”

"Oh?" The old lady thought for a moment and asked in surprise, "Lord Qingyang, but the British princess?" ”

"Yes, it's her."

"Ah, then why does she still go to the academy to teach and open a silver building?" The old lady wondered.

The upper class of society in the capital also has its own small circle. Xiao Ruotong is a royal prince, his father has a prominent status, and the British public family he married is also top-notch. In the past, Grandpa Guo was still alive, and the old lady also went to the banquet of this top circle.

Later, the grandfather of the country died, the title declined, Zhao Yuanxun only held an idle position in the court, he had no power in his hands, and the rest of the Zhao family had no interest. Therefore, the old lady does not know Xiao Ruotong's current situation.

Although Xu Xi knew the details from the system, he didn't plan to say it, so he only said vaguely: "Maybe you want to distract yourself." Xiao Fuzi's attainments in calligraphy are so high, it's a pity to stay at home. As for the silver building, it was only after reading a few jewelry drawings I drew that I had a whim. Zhennan Wangfu has a shop in Bac Ninh, so you can pull out a shopkeeper and buy some jewelry and hire a few craftsmen. ”

Xu Xi can draw, and he can draw so well, so the old lady doesn't care about Xu Xi's painting of jewelry, thinking that she is just painting casually.

At this time, she only sighed at Mrs. Xiao's good life, and said that if she opened a silver building, she would open a silver building, just like playing. Unlike the Hou Mansion, if you want to open a shop and run an industry, because you have no money, it is very difficult.
