Out of Chunhui Garden, Xu Hui trotted all the way, and sure enough, he caught up with Xu Shu, Xu Shu was hanging his head, walking step by step and walking slowly, Xu Hui stopped her, "Xiao Jiu!" ”

Xu Shu turned her head and was stunned before she whispered, "Father hasn't called me that for a long time!" Except for the eldest sister...... It's been a long time since I've heard the word Xiao Jiu......"

Xu Shu Xingjiu, born on September 9, was called Xiao Jiu since she was a child, and gradually called her name when she was older.

After a moment of emotion, Xu Shu looked up again but smiled, "Father must have come over to tell his daughter good news, right?" ”

Xu Hui said, "It's like a sister, I know that you care about your fourth sister, so I came to tell you!" Fourth Young Master Zhang is not young anymore, and he is going to take the spring exam again in the new year, so he plans to marry Sister Ru'er in the door before the year! ”

Xu Shu pinched her fingers and exclaimed, "It's only been a few months, isn't it too rushed?" ”

Xu Hui nodded, "Time is in a hurry, just catch some, the longer the time drags on, the easier it is to give birth to branches!" ”

Thinking of An's family, thinking of Xu Ru's family affairs that were at least stirred up, Xu Shu nodded approvingly, "Speaking of which, I wish that the fourth sister would be able to marry Ming'er, but when I think of her getting married, I can't see her anymore, so I can't bear to let her marry out so quickly!" ”

Xu Hui comforted, "The Zhang family is also close, if you miss her, just go and see her!" ”

"Really? Can my daughter really go to see the fourth sister? Xu Shu couldn't help but jump up, but after a while, the brilliance in her eyes dimmed again, "Mother said that her daughter should abide by the rules, and the one who doesn't go out of the door is the one who is beautiful!" ”

"Don't listen to your mother! She is angry with her father, and what she says has nothing to do with you! ”

Even if the Li family is eccentric to this extent, Xu Hui is still unwilling to destroy her image in Xu Shu's heart, not for the sake of the Li family, but for fear that Xu Shu, who knows the truth, will be sad.

After listening to Xu Hui's words, Xu Shu's mood really improved, and she crossed her waist and "glared" at Xu Hui and said, "Mother takes care of household affairs every day, and it is already very hard to teach us four sisters and brothers, why does my father still make my mother angry?" It's really not considerate at all! ”

Xu Hui begged for mercy again and again, "Okay, good, my fault, my fault!" I'll go back and compensate your mother, okay! ”

Xu Shu nodded with satisfaction, and after a while, he asked, "Father is still idle now?" ”

Xu Hui said, "As long as my Xiaojiu has something, my father will always be idle!" ”

Xu Shu said with a smile, "Father loves Xiao Jiu the most!" If the father is really free, go and help Xiao Jiu pick out some things, the daughter wants to pick out some makeup for the fourth sister! ”

Although the Xu family has not had much contact with the Rongguo Mansion over the years, the Rongguo Mansion still sends gifts to Xu Shu every year according to etiquette, and Xu Shu's various rewards every year, as well as the thank you gifts of each family, are all in her name.

Taxue brought the account book to Xu Hui, Xu Hui was shocked when he saw it, these things are enough to marry all the daughters of the Xu family.

Xu Shu didn't look at the account book, and said while thinking about it, "I remember that the Qi family gave a sea pearl the year before last, the pearl is warm, which is the most suitable for the temperament of the fourth sister, give it to her, or a jade ruyi, that one for her to press the bed, jewelry or something, let Fu Liu look at the two boxes for her, and my father will help me see which pieces of land to send to the fourth sister!" ”

Xu Hui looked at the account book and said without raising his head, "Your land produces well, just give it whichever piece you want!" ”

"One piece is enough!" Xu Shu said, "I remember that I should have a total of thirteen pieces of land, if it is divided equally, the eldest sister, the seventh sister, and the tenth sister will each have three pieces!" The fourth sister also has three pieces! ”

"Then don't you have one piece left?" Xu Hui was stunned.

"That's right!" Xu Shu nodded, "It's useless for my daughter to keep it, it's better to share it with the sisters to make makeup, so that they can marry more beautifully!" Also give Xu's parents face! Besides, with a father and mother, will there be a lack of a daughter to eat and drink? ”

It is indeed a long face, most of Xu Shu's land was given by the palace, or it was specially given to Xu Shu by the hands of the Empress Dowager in order to please the palace, it is all good land, the Xu family does not have such a big and good land, and the Xu family is reluctant to take out so much land to marry their daughter.

Xu Shu's generosity compared to Li's eccentricity made Xu Hui feel estranged, and closed the account book with a "snap", "If your sister's condition is concerned, you won't say anything about how many things you give her for your father, you can keep the other things, Sister Ting and Sister Wan'er's dowry have their own worries for their father and your mother!" ”

The coldness on Xu Hui's face startled Xu Shu, and it took a long time for Xu Shu to say, "My daughter listens to her father!" ”

Realizing that his attitude was bad, Xu Hui sighed, but he couldn't explain it to Xu Shu, so he could only say, "You still have a lifetime to go, but your father is old and can't take care of you for a lifetime, you always have to leave something to keep around!" ”

Xu Shu bit her lip and didn't speak, as if she couldn't face the fact that Xu Hui would eventually grow old and leave her, Xu Hui sighed and handed the account book back to Taxue, "If you want to add makeup to Sister Ru'er, remember to give it quietly, don't let your third aunt know!" ”

If An knew about it, even if it was Xu Shu's thing, An would grab it without any scruples, An would not give Xu Ru a little good thing, and he couldn't see others giving Xu Ru good things.

Xu Shu nodded, "My daughter can save it, my daughter plans to wait for the Zhang family to come to the dowry when the dowry is generous, these things are added to the dowry list, there are grandfathers and grandmothers, and it is something that has passed the surface, and the third aunt is helpless even if she is angry again!" ”

"That's fine!" In this way, if you give the Xu family a face, and you don't need the Xu family to pay an extra penny, the old lady will naturally help Xu Ru not let An Shike deduct Xu Ru's things.

Xu Hui was about to leave after speaking, but suddenly turned back and instructed, "Don't let your mother know!" ”

Xu Shu was puzzled, "Why! Mother also loves the fourth sister very much! ”

Xu Hui didn't explain, just said vigorously, "You just listen to your father!" ”

Xu Shu wanted to ask the truth, "Why do you want to hide it from your mother?" The daughter also wants her mother to help her see the jewelry! ”

Xu Hui was silent for a moment before saying, "Jewelry is fine, don't talk about the land!" ”

"But the title deeds are all with my mother!" Xu Shu's voice was full of incomprehension and innocence.

"The title deed is with your mother?" Xu Hui didn't seem to hear Xu Shu's words clearly, and asked again.

Xu Shu nodded, "The title deed has always been collected by my mother, and it is also arranged by my mother to take care of it!" ”

Xu Hui froze there when he got up, looked at Xu Shu, took the account book in Taxue's hand and put it in his sleeve, turned his head to Xu Shu and said, "I'll go tell your mother!" ”

Is Xiao Jiu's land still there?

The back of Xu Hui, who was holding the ledger and walking away slowly, was solemn and uneasy.
