This Guining family banquet was a little deserted, Xiao Jin didn't know what it was for, his brows on the banquet kept frowning and there were no more words, and after eating a few glasses of wine with Du Huo, he let people withdraw the wine cup, Xiaoliu's family was originally just a stepfamily, and he had always been virtuous, so he had to say a few words to Xiao Rongyue to join in the fun, Xiao Rongle and Xiao Wu's thoughts were not on the banquet, and this meal was a little unpleasant.

As soon as the banquet was dispersed, Xiao Rongyue smiled and said to Xiao Jin, who was about to leave: "Grandpa, I have something to say." ”

Xiao Liu and Du Huo were a little surprised, they all looked at Xiao Rongyue, Xiao Jin turned his head to look at his eldest daughter a few times, and he was also a little puzzled, but he still nodded: "You come with me." ”

When he arrived in the study and took the tea and soup served by the maidservant, Xiao Jin's face didn't look much better, but he said coldly to the eldest daughter: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Xiao Rongyue raised her eyebrows, picked up the agate pomegranate on the table and played with it: "Du Sanlang came today, I'm afraid that he proposed to Grandpa that he wanted a porcelain shop and a weaving and dyeing workshop, right?" ”

Xiao Jin stared at his daughter: "You also know?" Did he consult with you? ”

Du Huo came to the door by Gui Ning, but he opened his mouth to discuss with Xiao Jin, wanting the Du family to also contribute to the Xiao family's two porcelain shops and weaving and dyeing workshops, after all, the two families are in-laws, and in the future, the Du and Xiao families will also help each other and rely on each other.

The words are good, but Xiao Jin doesn't know much about the current situation of the Du family, the Du family has only a little glamour on the outside, and it has long been unable to make ends meet on the inside, so the Du family is in a hurry to send Du Huo to Chang'an, and he should also take the Xiao family's family business. Now that Du Huo wants to contribute, it is just a euphemism that the Du family wants to get a piece of the pie.

Xiao Rongyue raised her eyes to look at Xiao Jin: "Grandpa thinks Du Sanlang will discuss with me?" He never stayed in the main room at night. ”

I didn't want my daughter, who had always been gentle and obedient, to suddenly speak so sharply, Xiao Jin was speechless for a while, and his face was even more ugly: "Marry your husband, since you married into the Du family, you should be filial to your in-laws and obey your husband, if there is anything, you will discuss it with San Lang, and he will always respect you in the future." ”

Xiao Rongyue laughed, this is not surprising, it seems that the reason why the Xiao family was pinched to death by the Du family is also because of the Xiao family, the stepmother of the Xiaoliu family needless to say, at the moment this is the biological father of the Xiao family, but he is just using Xiao Rongyue as a stepping stone for the Xiao family, ignoring the situation of the Xiao family in the Du family, and only caring about the interests of the Xiao family.

She sighed lightly in her heart, feeling worthless for Xiao Shi, who had died once, and then spoke again: "Grandpa decided to agree to him?" ”

Xiao Jin felt more and more that his daughter was a little strange, how could he ask about this.

He snorted: "Now that the Du family and the Xiao family are already in-laws, one is prosperous and the other is lost, since he has decided to help San Lang, he can't let him have worries." ”

What he thinks is that if Du Huo can really come out in the future, these places can have the Du family in them, and Du Huo will naturally do his best to help, which is also a good thing.

Xiao Rongyue naturally knew his plans, and he did the same in his previous life, but unfortunately the later plot did not develop as he expected, Du Huo was indeed in the middle of the court, but what he did was not to help the Xiao family, but to swallow all the properties of the Xiao family.

She put down the agate pomegranate and slowly started the cool fan: "Grandpa, you said that the Du and Xiao families are already in-laws, and their lips are cold and their teeth are cold, but this family affair is recognized by the Du family when they are downtrodden and have no way to do it, if Du Laoshangshu is still in the court at this moment, and the Pei family in Chang'an has not been implicated in the abolition of the king, do you think the Du family will agree to this marriage?" ”

Xiao Jin's face turned cold: "The Du family has to admit it if they don't recognize it, the times are pressing, and they can't help it." ”

"Grandpa, do you know, what kind of character Du Huo is?" Xiao Rongyue said slowly, "I just came to the Du family on the first day and said that Zhan's mother knew about it when I came back, if it was an ordinary person, I was afraid that I would have torn my face and made peace, or the husband and wife would not see each other, but this Du Saburo came to the main room that night to compensate me, and said that Yuzhu was at my disposal." ”

She smiled coldly: "I persuade Grandpa to take a good look at this person again, I'm afraid that he is not as gentle as a gentleman on his face, and his heart is very deep, so he can endure the anger of the moment and lose the people and things he likes, but once he gains power, these humiliations will inevitably be recovered a hundred times." ”

Xiao Jin was speechless for a long time, but the hesitation on his face was no longer hidden, he was a businessman, and he had seen the hearts of the people for a long time, so he naturally would not believe that there were people in the world who were simple and simple, but he was still a little unwilling: "But now we are helping him." ”

Xiao Rongyue raised her eyebrows: "For those who are already selfish and proud, it may not be a humiliation to send charcoal in the snow. ”

She also expected that Xiao Jin was not easy to persuade, so she added: "I heard that before I married into the Du family, Mrs. Du had already taught people to inquire about the Xiao family's livelihood, and even asked a few shops and a few Zhuangzi. ”

Finally, Xiao Jin let out a long breath and looked at Xiao Rongyue a little more seriously: "Then what do you think should be done?" ”

Xiao Rongyue lowered her eyes and covered the sneer at the corner of her mouth with a cool fan: "I have an idea, which can not only not teach Grandpa to be embarrassed, but also make the Du family unreasonable......

When she came out of the study, Xiao Jin's frowning brow finally relaxed: "If there is news from Chang'an, I will have someone send it to Du Mansion." ”

Xiao Rongyue nodded, then said goodbye to Xiao Jin and took the maidservant back to the inner hall.

As soon as he entered the inner hall door, he saw Du Huo's long jade standing by the window, and Xiao Rongle was sitting on the couch not far from him, talking to him shyly with a cool fan, and a pair of eyes fell on him for a moment and refused to leave.

There was no Xiao Yanagi in the hall, and Xiao Wu was nowhere to be seen, but they were the only ones.

Seeing Xiao Rongyue coming back, Xiao Rongle's face was a little panicked, and he hurriedly lowered his head and got up: "Eldest sister, A-Niang said that she was a little tired, so take a break in it." ”

Du Huo looked calm, and turned to look at her a little more inquiring: "What did Master Yuezhang say to you, why have you been married for so long?" ”

Xiao Rongyue chuckled, she couldn't be clearer about the thoughts of Xiaoliu and Xiao Rongle's mother and daughter, but she didn't break it down, and said to Du Huo with a smile: "It's just a few words of advice." ”

After that, he said to Xiao Rongle: "Since my aunt is tired, we won't say goodbye to her, it's not too early to go back." ”

Du Huo naturally had no opinion, politely said goodbye to Xiao Rongle, and strode out of the hall.

The reluctant smile on Xiao Rongle's face suddenly collapsed, but there was no way out, so he could only bite his lip and stare at the back of the husband and wife walking away.
