When Xiuyan left, she was only more than two years old, less than three years old. Although she still regarded Xing Shuang as her mother at that time, she hadn't seen her for so many years, and she didn't remember it for a long time. Now that he was pulled in Xing Shuang's arms, he was touching and hugging, and his face was red with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Zhong Xiu said to her with a smile: "This is your aunt, you don't remember her, but you were born in her family, I will come to Gusu to meet your father at that time, and you have been growing up by her side since you stayed in Shangdu." When you left, you cried and refused to leave, and when you came to me, you didn't ask anyone. ”

Xing Xiuyan didn't remember this, but her mother never scolded her, since her mother said so, it was true. She looked up at the aunt carefully, and saw that she was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and she was dignified and generous, and she couldn't help but feel a little good in her heart.

"Auntie!" Xiao Xiuyan screamed sweetly, not at all as cold as in the book. Xing Shuang's heart warmed, hugged her and belched, and sighed for a while, a little like crying.

This child was obedient when he was a child, but fortunately, he changed the fate of his mother's family early, and now the Xing family will no longer be tortured by poverty, and it will not let Xiaoxiuyan live as bleak as in the book.

However, when Xing Shuang came back, she didn't just visit Xing Zhong's family, but to talk about Daiyu.

After listening to her aunt's request, Zhong Xiu agreed without hesitation.

Xing Shuang thanked her, and Zhong Xiu smiled and said, "Sister, what are you talking about thank you or not?" If there was no sister, would our family be like this? And now that the old man has that deal, he always has to go back and forth between the north and the south, and now his largest unloading dock is in Jiaozhou. If you want to go to the capital all the way, you have to change boats there, and it is more convenient to have me with you.

"Besides, on weekdays, when the old man leaves, I am also idle at home, so it is better to take my daughter to my sister's place to say hello to the old lady, and then go back to my hometown in Jinling to have a look."

Xing Shuang said with a smile: "If you don't bother, this is naturally good, and if you have a few words of white instructions, Mrs. Gu will leave, Yu'er is afraid that she will be indulging in pain for a while, and she doesn't know how to be thoughtful in this etiquette." If there is anything abrupt, please bear with me. ”

Zhong Xiu hurriedly said: "I naturally know this, don't say that she is only five years old, even at my age, if my mother goes, she has no intention of communicating." It's just that she has no mother, and the old lady wants her to leave her father, and I don't know if she wants to do it or not. ”

Xing Shuang sighed, Zhongxiu was really an understanding person, and said to her helplessly: "What if you don't want to?" The old lady grabbed Li'er.

"The Lin family is thin, and the main family has only one uncle, and the side branches are all withered. It's just that only we have a female dependent here to rely on, and if you don't send it to the family, you will have to be gossiped about by others.

"In this world, the most powerful thing is a mouth. is obviously a well-behaved and sensible girl, but without the guidance of her elders, she will be rejected by others. ”

Zhong Xiu also sighed and said, "Isn't it? As everyone knows, there are many people who have elders, but they are not as good as those who don't. This upbringing also depends on the conduct environment.

"The Lin family is a scholarly family, and the rules are very good, even if the girl doesn't go to the capital, it's okay to come. It's just that the old lady asked her to go with this reason, and she was sorry that she had to send someone to the fence at a young age. ”

Xing Shuang sighed with Zhong Xiu a few more words, then put aside the matter of not mentioning Daiyu again, talking too much, but it was too obvious. In the next few days, she only lived in Xing Zhong's house, and went to the garden with Zhong Xiu every day to play, which was not mentioned.

When he embarked on the return journey again, Wang Xifeng asked Xing Shuang: "Now that the key is with my wife, my wife has been gone for a month, what can I do at home?" ”

Xing Shuang smiled: "With your aunt and the old lady here, there will be no problem." And the old lady is also washing her face with tears every day, and if I don't come in person, she is afraid that she will not be at ease. Now that I'm here, and her letter has come with her, I'm afraid I'm going to pick up your sister for a long time. ”

Wang Xifeng asked: "What does Mrs. mean, she doesn't want to take Sister Lin into Beijing?" ”

Xing Shuang smiled slightly: "It's not, it's just that I'm afraid that the old lady is too old to deal with it." If you take your sister back at this time, and you don't clean up your sister's courtyard when you get home, won't it make people laugh at us for bullying her? ”

Wang Xifeng's eyes rolled, and he only felt that these words were not simple. And at Mrs. Aunt's funeral before, the words that Mrs. said were still imprinted in her heart.

Wang Xifeng wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to ask. The itch of a heart is unbearable, and the face is just out of a trance.

Xing Shuang didn't know that she had found out that something was wrong, but she still told her: "You don't have to worry about your sister's matter. You and Lian'er are now learning English well, and it just so happens that school starts in September, so you have to go over and meet with Viscount Norton earlier to take care of everything for you. So when you get home, you pack up, and you have to set off in March or April. ”

When Wang Xifeng heard that he was going to leave so soon, he was a little reluctant to go home for a while, and asked again: "The boat is already there?" Didn't the lord say that this big ship is hard to find? ”

Xing Shuang said with a smile: "It's hard to buy, but if it's just a boat, this English merchant ship can still be found at any time." Fleck will also go back with you, and with him, I am not afraid that I will not find the fleet to go back. ”

Wang Xifeng asked again: "This is really going to go, I have to bring some gold and silver, I am young, I don't know what to do, how much is appropriate?" ”

Xing Shuang was stunned, and suddenly burst into joy: "This kid, do you think that you have to spend your own money this time?" Although the two of you have become married, this dowry is your own, and you can keep it. I started to look for people to exchange my gold years ago, and now I have saved a lot of money, and I will take it with you when I leave.

"When you go out, don't be wronged. Do you understand the way to get rich for the poor? No matter how much I give you, you can take it, and don't make a noise.

"Again, I tell you a few words in vain, don't show off this way. It's not that you are forced to pretend to be poor, but I'm afraid that someone has bad intentions. This trip to England, no better than the capital, go there, don't get into trouble if you can, don't get into trouble, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. ”

Wang Xifeng replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Mrs., this is my province." I will also keep an eye on the second master everywhere and don't ask him to make trouble. ”

Xing Shuang smiled with relief: "You have been smart since you were a child, so I am naturally relieved." Lian'er is also a good boy, and I'm not afraid of him looking for trouble. But the gap between the rich and the poor in England is huge, and you have to remember that everywhere there are mobs. Don't put yourself in an embarrassment because of kindness.

"Viscount Norton has a very good relationship with the lord, but it is only a matter of duty. If someone takes care of it for us, you must also give him enough silver, and don't let him stick it upside down. If it's not enough, just write back and ask for it. ”
