At first, she was uneasy and flattered, but later found out that it was actually someone else's upbringing. And what they respect is not her Xu Xue, but her cousin Xu Xi.

Xu Xi is respected like this, and it is by no means because of her concubine.

In the past few days, I have been in contact with my classmates in the academy and listening to their chats, Xu Xue also learned that the capital and even Beining County are places where the dragon and the crouching tiger are hidden. A marquis like the Marquis of Suiping is not a top-notch existence in the capital. There are many royal relatives, nobles and ministers who have a higher status and more powerful status than the Suiping Marquis Mansion.

The reason why Xu Xi is respected is because of her own ability and her style of acting that is neither humble nor arrogant.

"You look down on yourself, feel that you can't be on the stage, and you are afraid of your words and deeds, how can you expect others to look down on you? But you have self-esteem and self-love, you are sure that you are no worse than anyone else, your words and deeds are generous, your behavior is moderate, and your posture is calm, and others will naturally look up to you. This respect does not come from others, but from yourself. ”

This is what Xu Xi once taught her.

Now Xu Xue deeply feels that these words are really reasonable.

Mrs. Xiao is a straightforward person, and when Xu Xi greeted the shopkeeper Wang, she waved her hand, and several maids in the house directly opened the lids of several cages that had been placed in the house in advance, and the room was full of jewels in an instant.

"These are the raw materials." Mrs. Xiao said, "Look at it." The specific situation of Yinlou will be told to you by Shopkeeper Wang later. ”

Xu Xi pulled Xu Xue by the hand: "Xiaoxue, you also come to open your eyes." ”

Xu Xue smiled at Mrs. Xiao embarrassedly: "I really want to open my eyes." He also stood up and followed Xu Xi to look at the raw materials inside.

Mama Yun glanced at Mrs. Xiao with deep meaning, and Mrs. Xiao felt her gaze and glanced back at her, with puzzlement in her eyes.

Mrs. Xiao's name is Xiao Ruotong, and Princess Zhennan gave birth to three sons and got this daughter, and she was extremely favored. The princess felt that her family background was prominent, Xiao Ruotong was protected by her father and brother, and she was beautiful and talented. When she marries in the future, she will definitely not suffer any wrongs.

Therefore, she only lives according to Xiao Ruotong's preferences.

has such a mother, coupled with a master with a very true temperament, Xiao Ruotong has developed a character that does not eat fireworks in the world and does not understand the world.

It wasn't until now that Xiao Ruotong was not happy in her in-law's house, and Princess Zhennan went to the British Mansion to seek justice for her daughter, and was vaguely accused by the British Duchess in a tortious tone, and Princess Zhennan found that her family was indeed a little lacking in human sophistication.

If it weren't for Mama Yun following her and handling a lot of things for her, she would have been killed by the maid next to the British prince.

After learning from the experience, Princess Zhennan carried it with the British government and did not back down a single step, and asked Mama Yun to teach Xiao Ruotong slowly, at least teach her how to look at people, so as not to be coaxed by others to say a few good words, and really trust people as well-wishers.

Seeing that her young lady didn't understand, Mama Yun took advantage of Xu Xi and Xu Xue to walk to the other end of the house to look at the jewelry, couldn't hear their whispers, and taught in a low voice: "Many people, once they fly on the branches and become a phoenix, often can't hear others mention her previous experience when she was down, and they don't allow old people around her who know the details of her past. The kinder one will give money to send the people who raised her far away; If you are not kind, it is possible to kill your mouth directly. ”

"W-no, won't?" Xiao Ruotong's eyes widened in horror.

"How not? It's all sung in the play. The people who write the drama are also stories that they hear from reality. Didn't you see that the matter of the Suiping Marquis Mansion is even more bizarre than what is sung in the play? Mama Yun said confidently.

Xiao Ruotong was speechless.

Therefore, it is really rare for a person like Miss Xu Xi not only not taboo this, but also carries and repays the Xu family everywhere. From this, it can be seen that she is a frank and honest person. ”

Xiao Ruotong is not stupid. I didn't understand these things before, but she was immersed in the world of calligraphy, and there was no one around her to teach her this, so she didn't seem to understand the world.

Now that Mama Yun mentioned this, she understood, nodded and said, "I know, so I want to partner with Xu Xi, not only do you not stop it, but you also approve it very much, that is, you know that she is an excellent person." ”

"That's right." Mama Yun was relieved that her children could be taught.

Xu Xi didn't know that because of Xiao Ruotong's words that he wanted to "partner" with her, he fell into the eyes of Princess Zhennan, and Princess Zhennan not only relied on Mama Yun, but also investigated Xu Xi through other means.

Fortunately, the original owner went to Xu Xi, who experienced the process from the county town to the countryside, from the only daughter favored by her parents to the orphan girl whose parents died, so Xu Xi's changes did not arouse suspicion.

Even if her temperament changes, everyone will blame it on the "sudden change".

Although others are a little puzzled, how her talent is so outstanding, she is even better than the well-bred nobles of others. But because she was literate, Xu Yongzeng and his wife raised her in a deep boudoir and did not show her depth, and she later showed "outstanding memory" and "extremely intelligent" in the academy, and these talents were not so abrupt.

Xu Xi was looking at the jewels in the cage at this time.

Sure enough, it is worthy of the wealthy Zhennan Palace, a few boxes of jade, a few boxes of gems of different colors, a few boxes of pearls of different sizes, and a few boxes of gold and silver ingots, not only Xu Xue, who had never seen the world, was shocked and stood in place, Xu Xi was also a little dazzled by the jewels in this room.

Xu Xi grabbed a few pieces of jade and looked at it, but he didn't see the jade he liked, and he was very sorry.

In fact, in the few pieces of jade jewelry given to her by the eldest lady, no jadeite was found; The old lady who likes to use jewelry to name her eldest maid did not appear in the name of jadeite, and Xu Xi had a guess in his heart.

She still remembers that although the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty also had jadeite, it was still a rare item at the end of the Ming Dynasty; It wasn't until the middle of the Qing Dynasty that it was loved by the Empress Dowager Cixi and sought after, and jadeite slowly became everyone's favorite jewelry.

If you have the chance, you must take a trip to the southwest border, or send someone to get some jadeite back there.

Xu Xi secretly made up his mind, pulled Xu Xue, who was looking at the jewelry in a daze, back to his seat and sat down, and said to Shopkeeper Wang: "I don't know how Shopkeeper Wang planned?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang stood up, made a gesture to Xu Xi, then sat down again, pointed to the surroundings and said: "This building is now being decorated, and when the craftsmen make the first batch of jewelry, and the silver building is also decorated, you can choose an auspicious day to open." ”
