Chapter 78 Chatting with Grandma about the Sheng Family

Chapter 78 Chatting with Grandma about the Sheng Family
  On the way to Ning'an Hall,

Xu Wenhui thought about the next trip,
  Then he turned to Xu Qingyun and said:

"Qingyun, prepare a few posts for me. The first one is for the Duke of Yue. Send it to my cousin, saying that I will invite him to tea at Changchun Tower tomorrow! See if he is free!"

Nowadays, except for Li Hackin, everyone else in the Duke of Yue's palace looks down on him.

Xu Wenhui didn't even bother to come to the house to get a look. He just asked Li Hackin out to meet him.
  Although I saw Li Hackin in the main hall, there were so many people at that time that I couldn't say much.

Xu Wenhui had to discuss some matters with Li Hackin, and when he returned to Bianjing, he had to pay a formal visit!
  Seeing Xu Qingyun nodding in agreement, Xu Wenhui continued:

"The second letter..." Xu Wenhui paused for a moment, and then continued:

"The second letter will be sent to Uncle Yongchang's Mansion, to Uncle Yongchang or to Count Yongchang's wife, saying that my nephew Xu Boxheng will visit his uncle and aunt the day after tomorrow!"

After hearing what happened with Xu Wanling last night, Xu Wenhui suddenly felt that he was too harsh on Xu Wanrong, his eldest sister.
  Xu Wanling has become smarter and rational, but he still likes her and doesn't think there's anything wrong with her!

But Xu Wanrong had been smart and calm since she was a child, but he was a little bored. He always felt that Xu Wanrong was not sincere to his elder brother.
  Now that I think about it, it seems like this is somewhat of a double standard!

It is true that one's deeds do not matter one's heart. Xu Wanrong has not done anything to be sorry for his eldest brother, and he really shouldn't treat others differently!

And no matter what, Xu Wanrong is also his biological sister.

As the eldest brother, even if I still don’t like him very much, I still have to respect him!
  Otherwise, Xu Wanrong would be bullied and looked down upon in her husband's family.

He, a big brother, can’t leave behind anything good!

Xu Qingyun was standing behind her and listening carefully. When she heard that Xu Wenhui was going to the Yongchang uncle's house for the second time, and called Yongchang uncle and his wife uncle and aunt, she was a little surprised.
  You must know that because Xu Wenhui had a normal relationship with Liang Churan in the past, he has always had an average relationship with the Yongchang uncle's family.
  It can be said that I have never had such a formal visit!

However, Xu Qingyun quickly understood what Xu Wenhui meant and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, young master, I will definitely send someone to deliver it!" He said, thinking of the conversation between Liang Churan and Mrs. Xu yesterday, and said with a smile:
  "Actually, the old lady told the eldest lady yesterday that she wanted you to help educate the eldest lady's brother Nan!"

"Oh, is there such a thing? Then why didn't grandma say anything yesterday?" After Xu Wenhui said it, he thought for a moment and understood. Maybe grandma didn't know what he was thinking, and was afraid that he would refuse in front of everyone and make a fuss.
  If I invited him over for breakfast so quickly this morning, I'm afraid I'd have to talk about it in a subtle way!

Xu Qingyun also guessed that it had something to do with it. Seeing the understanding on Xu Wenhui's face, she smiled and said:

"The old lady should feel relieved now!"

Xu Wenhui nodded slightly and continued what he just said without making too many comments:

"There is a third letter. If you send it to the master or mistress of the Sheng family in Jiying Lane, tell me that I will visit my great-aunt in two days!"

……

Just like Xu Wenhui and Xu Qingyun thought,
  Mrs. Xu's intention to meet Xu Wenhui for breakfast was indeed her intention. She wanted Xu Wenhui to help Xu Wanrong and stabilize Xu Wanrong's status in the Yuan family!
  Hearing Xu Wenhui's hearty agreement,
  Mrs. Xu was immediately overjoyed and even ate an extra bowl of rice!
  After breakfast,

Xu Wenhui supported Mrs. Xu and walked around and chatted in the garden of Ning'antang.
  After chatting for a while,

Xu Wenhui suddenly thought of the Sheng family's affairs and asked:

"Grandma, I heard that my family has not been in contact with my aunt's family in the past few years?" When Xu Wenhui asked about this, Mrs. Xu's face flashed with a hint of unnaturalness. Speaking of which, it was indeed the Xu family who did this. Somewhat unreasonable,

After that incident, Xu Wenhui went to Wubian in the northwest, basically ending his path to the imperial examination.
  The old lady thought that the Sheng family was of little use, and coupled with the fact that the sister-in-law didn't like to get married in the first place,
  So when the Sheng family sent someone to deliver the post, they didn’t pay much attention to it! I want to give them the cold shoulder!
  Who would have thought that the Sheng family was also temperamental. After being ignored, they simply never came to the door again.
  The two families were at a standstill!

Mrs. Xu was a bit old and had a bad temper. When she thought about the little Sheng family's repayment, she said angrily:

"It's because the Sheng family is too pretentious. What kind of family is our Xu family? What kind of family is their Sheng family? It's just that I forgot to reply to their post because I was busy at the beginning. The next one will be there!
  I don’t know where the confidence of a small sixth-grade mansion comes from! "

Xu Wenhui shook his head a little when he saw this. This man is really childish sometimes when he gets old. How can this be a letter of greeting?

But he couldn't blame his grandmother for this, so he said directly:

"In two days' time, I will go to the Sheng family to visit my great-aunt.

When I was in Yangzhou, I had similar interests and had a good relationship with the younger members of their family.

So when the time comes, I will invite the younger generations of their family to come over as guests. If it is cheaper for my grandma, I will let them visit. It doesn’t matter if it is inconvenient.

But I hope grandma won’t stop it! "

When Mrs. Xu heard what Xu Wenhui said, the expression on her face stagnated slightly.
  She originally thought that after her words, Xu Wenhui, the child, would go along with the flow and drift away from the Sheng family.

Unexpectedly, she wanted to get close to the Sheng family. This was somewhat disobedient to her grandmother!

But Mrs. Xu was not an ordinary person, and she soon understood,

Today, Xu Wenhui is no longer just her grandson, but a general on the battlefield.

Naturally, he will have his own thoughts and opinions, which are different from her two submissive sons!
  Although she understood in her heart, Mrs. Xu still felt a little uncomfortable.

So she wanted to throw away Xu Wenhui's hand that was supporting her, and replied in a stiff tone:

"Now that you are successful, you can do whatever you want. How can I, a grandmother, have the final say!"

Mrs. Xu didn't say anything to stop her. Xu Wenhui knew that the old lady was just being naughty after being pushed by him.

He tightened his grip on the old lady's arm and said seriously:

"Grandma naturally has the final say. Look at just now, you asked me to help Wanrong educate my nephew. Didn't I agree immediately?"

When Xu Qingyun in the back heard what Xu Wenhui said, her expression seemed to be smiling and annoyed, which was very strange!
  It was obvious that the eldest young master had made up his mind a long time ago, and if he still said this, he was clearly trying to fool the old lady!

This situation is somewhat of a shock to a girl like her who is influenced by traditional culture!

But Mrs. Xu didn't know, and thought that Xu Wenhui really listened to her opinion and felt that her words were still very important, so she immediately became happy again!
