Xu Xi originally thought that although Zhao Yuankun was a little indifferent, he had been suppressed by the old lady for so many years, and he had no feelings for Bofu, the old lady and the eldest brother, and it was normal to have complaints.

Even if he went to befriend the prince and wanted to get ahead, she could understand that she didn't immediately classify him as a bad guy or an enemy.

Thinking about splitting up, Zhao Yuankun has the opportunity to show his ambitions, and he doesn't need to befriend the prince. If this is done, there is no need for Dafang to target him.

But people's hearts are inherently biased. Now Zhao Yuanxun is her father, and the old lady also loves her. Zhao Yuankun was angry with them like this, and her impression of Zhao Yuankun was also very bad.

"How did Wei's two shops deal with it? Will the court take it back, or will it not be left to the second room at the disposal of the people themselves? Xu Xi asked curiously.

The eldest lady shook her head: "I don't know. I have to wait for the Wei family's affairs to inquire, and it's not easy to ask now. Besides, this is a matter of the second room, since your second uncle went to find someone to help, it has nothing to do with us. I told your dad not to worry about it. Your second uncle can find someone and is willing to spend money, maybe he can keep it in his hands, after all, the deed is still in the second room. ”

Xu Xi nodded.

"I called you here, and there is one more thing I want to discuss with you." The eldest lady said, "It was also an expedient measure to let you live in the tea house. You were a second-room person at the time, and you didn't want to go back to the second room, and you couldn't live in a big or three-room house, so you had to live there. Now that the situation has changed, you might as well move back to the big house. ”

She pointed in a direction to the east: "There is a courtyard over there, called Xiuzhu Courtyard, the environment is quiet, not far from here." Your third sister's Plum Hunting Courtyard is also nearby. If you live there, you can get closer to your third sister. ”

Xu Xi thought about the location of the bamboo courtyard, and nodded obediently: "Okay, it's all arranged by my mother." ”

The courtyard of the big house is actually very close to the Rongxi Hall. Because of the huge area of Bofu, these courtyards in the courtyard group are not close to each other, but are separated by a certain distance. The same is true of Shuzhu-in. Although it is located in the courtyard group of the big house, it is an independent courtyard, and it is not next to the eldest lady's Longyu courtyard and Zhao Ruxin's plum hunting courtyard.

The eldest lady suddenly couldn't do it happily: "Then I'll ask you to help you arrange the layout first, and then move when the arrangement is complete." ”

"Okay."

……

At this time, it was noon, and the noon break of Bac Ninh Academy had passed, and it was finally time for Kang Fuzi's painting class. He rushed into the teaching house and found that Xu Xi's position was empty, so he was immediately unhappy and asked Xu Xue, "Where is your sister?" Are you staying in the North Courtyard? Didn't she take painting class? If you know a little bit of painting, you can your tail, is this like a word? Hurry up, go and call her over. ”

"Well, Master, my sister is not in the North Courtyard, she has taken a leave of absence. Her grandmother was sick, and she went home to serve her. Xu Xue stood up and said.

"Leave of absence?" Kang Shilin's brows furrowed, "How many days off does she take?" ”

Xu Xue shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't say it." ”

"Okay, sit down."

Although Kang Shilin gave a lecture as usual and instructed everyone to paint, everyone could see that he was very unhappy, and the skill of his poisonous tongue was ten out of ten, and he almost didn't make the little girls cry.

finally got through to the end of class, Kang Shilin went to Mrs. Cui's place for a while, and found that Xu Xi had indeed asked for leave to go home to serve the sick, and was about to go out unhappily, and almost collided with a middle-aged man.

Seeing Kang Shilin, the man's body shook slightly, and he hurriedly apologized to him: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't notice that you were going out." ”

Kang Shilin had to return the salute: "Don't worry." ”

Seeing Mrs. Cui standing up, and the man was still followed by Master Chen, Kang Shilin knew that this person had come to find something to do with the academy.

He was about to go out, when he suddenly heard the man say to Mrs. Cui: "I am Xu Xi's father, Sui Ping Bo Zhao Yuanxun." I'm here today to discuss Xu Xi's matter with my wife. ”

Kang Shilin's legs, which had just stepped out of the threshold, were retracted.

He turned around and looked at Zhao Yuanxun twice, didn't speak, and found a chair next to him and sat down.

Zhao Yuanxun first handed the post to the mother-in-law guarding the door at the door, and Mrs. Cui knew his identity. This is the patriarch and the noble, so she asked Mrs. Chen to go out and bring Zhao Yuanxun in.

At this time, I saw that this Sui Pingbo was in his thirties, although he was thin, he was handsome and had a very elegant temperament. When facing them, she behaved politely and neither humbly nor arrogantly, and she added two points of favor.

Mrs. Cui greeted Zhao Yuanxun and invited him to sit down, and saw that the old god Kang Shilin was sitting there on the ground, staring at Zhao Yuanxun with two small eyes, she ignored him helplessly, and smiled at Zhao Yuanxun: "I don't know if the uncle is here, what is the matter?" ”

"I don't know if my wife has heard of my family." Zhao Yuanxun said about holding the wrong child, and also briefly mentioned the matter of the Wei family, explaining that Xu Xi was the biological daughter he had just recognized.

"This matter was also found out by Dali Temple, and the emperor made a will, and we only knew. Originally, my second brother and Wei recognized their daughter back, and after recognizing their relatives with everyone, it was over. When I inquired today, I found out that my household registration had not been moved back. Just now I went to Yamen and moved Sister Xi'er's household registration away. Now I came here to ask, in a situation like her, can she still study in your academy? ”

In order to prevent disputes, women's academies in various localities have long stipulated that people who are not registered are not allowed to enter the women's academies in their own prefectures.

In Xu Xi's case, Mrs. Cui can tell Zhao Yuanxun directly without asking: No!

But Xu Xi has performed too well in the academy during this time, and Mrs. Cui is still hoping that she can earn face for the girls' academy in the imperial examination, and she is really reluctant to let her go.

Mrs. Cui said: "We really haven't encountered this situation. I need to report it to the eldest princess of Schande, and she will decide. In two days, you let Xu Xi come to visit, and I will tell her the eldest princess's decision. If not, the things she left in the academy also need to be cleaned up. ”

"I'll bother you." Zhao Yuanxun stood up and said, "In addition, my sister Xi has changed her name to Zhao Ruxi." If she can still come to the academy to study, she will bother the master to talk to the master and classmates of the academy for her. ”

Zhao Yuanxun is a straightforward person, and since Mrs. Cui gave this word, he said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he also gave Kang Shilin a salute.

Kang Shilin couldn't help it on the side, but he knew the severity and didn't interject.

As soon as Zhao Yuanxun left, he couldn't wait to yell at Mrs. Cui: "You can't let Xu Xi go." Do you know how talented she is at drawing? Without the guidance of a famous teacher, without a family history, you can create a new way of painting, and this is a generation of grandmasters who can be famous for thousands of years. Such a person, you let her drop out of school? So what's the point of running your academy? ”
