That guy's job is to receive guests, usher in and send them off, and have never done anything to follow guests. At this time, seeing Xu Xi and the others standing there for a long time, it seemed that they were waiting for him here, he suddenly blushed, denied it in a hurry, and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, don't misunderstand, girl." That's where my family lives. He pointed ahead, "There is an urgent matter at home, so I ran a little haste." ”

"Oh? Is that so? Xu Xi smiled meaningfully and made a gesture of please, "Then go back quickly, don't delay your urgent matter." ”

The guy couldn't do it, so he had to arch his hand towards Xu Xi and run forward.

"Uncle, you stay here. If he turns his head and wants to chase us, stop him, ask him what he wants to do, say that he suspects him of wanting to rob, and take him to the yamen to scare him. Xu Xi said.

Seeing Xu Yongyi's frightened nod, she told again: "When you come back, make a few more detours, make sure that no one is behind you and then go home." ”

"But when the three of you go back, I don't worry." Xu Yongyi said.

Although he has been walking the streets and alleys for so many years, he has seen a lot of dirty methods, but like today, it is the first time he has seen a robbery in the blue sky and daytime, and he is very frightened in his heart.

Xie Shi and Xu Xue also had overly frightened expressions.

Xu Xi soothed: "Don't worry, they don't want to rob us, but they want to know where I live, and in the future, they will ask someone to ask me if I have drawn the design well." It's just a normal tactic for businessmen. ”

"Really?" Xu Xue hurriedly asked.

"Nature is true. Their family has a big business, and they will not take risks for this bit of silver. ”

The three members of the Xu family all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, then you guys hurry up." Xu Yongyi knew that Yinlou was really like what Xu Xi said, and that guy would definitely come back again in order to go back for a good job.

"I'm here, I'm not afraid." Xie Shi grabbed Xu Xi's hand, like an old chicken protecting a chicken, pulled her out of the alley quickly, and beckoned to the mule cart driver in the distance. He did not wait for the mule cart to come, but hurried to meet the mule cart, got into the mule cart, and said to the coachman, "Go quickly." ”

The mule cart driver did not know what had happened, and drove the mule cart forward.

"Where are we going? Do you go back to the house in the city, or go straight to the academy? Xie asked.

In her opinion, it is better to go to the academy. The academy was opened by the royal family, and no matter how bold the owner of Yulong Pavilion was, he didn't dare to rush to the academy to find someone.

"Go to the house in the city." Xu Xidao.

She still has something to talk about with Xu Yongyi and his wife, and at this time, there is still half a day before Qingfeng and them come to pick her up, so she just takes this time to talk about it. In the future, she will be picked up and dropped off when she comes and goes, and it is inconvenient to come to the Xu family's house again. But he couldn't be frightened by Yulon Court, so he disrupted his plan.

"Okay then." Xie was reluctant to send Xu Xi directly to the academy like this. She heard Xu Xue say that the academy was just signing up today, and there was no one. Xu Xi staying alone in the academy is not a problem.

Even so, Xie Shi was obviously frightened, she was stunned to let the mule cart turn around the street twice, and found that no one was following behind, so she let the coachman drive in the direction of the Xu family's house.

When she arrived nearby, she didn't let the mule cart drive directly to the door of her house, but got off the car nearby, led Xu Xi and Xu Xue through the two alleys, and then returned home.

After a while, Xu Yongyi also came back and said to Xu Xi: "Sure enough, as you expected, as soon as you left, he turned back again." If I hadn't stopped him there, he would have come back with us. ”

"Uncle, hurry up and rest." Xu Xi poured Xu Yongyi a cup of tea.

Xie patted his chest and said to Xu Xi: "It's still Xiaoxi who is thoughtful. If you hadn't been careful, we'd have followed their path today. ”

Xu Yongyi was very worried: "This county is so big, there will always be a day in the future." If you meet you on the road, or know that you are studying at a girls' college, how can I find you? ”

Xie Shi and Xu Xue also looked at Xu Xi nervously.

The family didn't find out, and I don't know when they all regarded Xu Xi as the backbone.

"Don't be afraid." Xu Xi said, "I'm a student of the Women's Academy, or a young lady from the Hou Mansion, how can they get into trouble for some profit?" ”

These words really comforted the three members of the Xu family.

Xu Xi saw that their nerves had eased up, and said to Xie Shi, who was about to continue to go to the kitchen, "Auntie, you also sit down, while you are free, let's talk about your business." ”

Xie Shi hurriedly sat down again.

"Uncle, how are the preparations for the sale?" Xu Xi asked Xu Yongyi.

"I sent you away yesterday, and we arrived in the county. Over the years, I have been walking around the streets and alleys doing small business, and I have also met some people. I have inquired with someone, and in addition to paying a certain fee to the yamen, I also have to pay a protection fee to a gang of gangsters here, which adds up to about one tael of silver a month. If the business is doing well, you may have to pay more. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yongyi's face was not very good-looking.

He used to work as a small trader, and he traveled from village to village, and he did not need to pay stall fees, taxes, and protection fees. And he worked hard for a month, in addition to the capital, he probably earned more than a tael of silver. Now that the business has not been done, he has to pay so much money, and he is a little worried in his heart, lest the business will not be good, and in the end he will not make any money, and he will lose money.

Xu Xi also guessed Xu Yongyi's concerns, and she asked with a smile: "Uncle, do you guess how much money I made just now?" ”

Xie Shi became nervous when he heard this, "shhhhhhh The grandson of that family has the most bright ears, don't let people listen to it. ”

When she entered the door, she closed the courtyard door. Then she simply got up and closed the door of the hall.

Xu Xi stuck out his tongue, took out the silver ticket from his arms, and put it on the table of the eight immortals in the hall.

Although the Xu family treats her well, the wealth is moving, and this small courtyard is only worth a hundred taels of silver. One thousand taels can buy ten such yards. Xu Yongyi and his wife are not greedy for this courtyard, but what about ten?

Xu Xi actually didn't want to use money to test the Xu family's bottom limit. She will not have the idea of giving all the money she earns to the Xu family.

It's just that this money was earned under the noses of the Xie family and Xu Xue, instead of hiding it and chilling the Xu family, it is better to take it out generously and take the opportunity to take a look at the Xu family's conduct again.

She will definitely earn more than a thousand taels or a few thousand taels of silver in the future. If the Xu family's conduct is really good and trustworthy, then she can rest assured that she will be able to take care of her business with them in the future.

Seeing the denomination on the silver ticket clearly, and there were at least eight or nine silver tickets, Xu Yongyi was bluffed. He had never seen so much money in his life.
