The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 87

When everyone heard the words, everyone knew it well, so they didn't say anything.

The old aunt was sitting next to the aunt, and when she saw that the aunt was putting something into Baozhen's bowl, she nudged her lightly with her elbow, then looked at Xu Huiru, and motioned for her to add some food to Xu Huiru. .

The eldest aunt was shy for a while, how could she stretch out her hand, she only lowered her head, and picked out the rice in her own bowl, and seeing Mrs. Xu beckoning everyone to eat together, she raised her head and took a few mouthfuls with a smile.

There were so many people at the table, there were many things that I couldn't talk about, and Xie Yujiao couldn't bring it up, so instead of embarrassing everyone by saying it, it's better to finish eating, let Xu Huiru leave Xu Yuxing behind, and the father and daughter can talk about it.

The kitchen prepared the dishes yesterday. The wild game I made today was bought from the city yesterday and kept in the freezer. Now it tastes as fresh as the freshly slaughtered ones. .These are usually what Xu Yuxing likes to eat, and Mrs. Xu knew his taste, so she specially ordered the kitchen to handle them.

The people at the table were all female relatives, and there was only one man, Xu Yuxing. After all, I thought it was a bit weird. Fortunately, Xu Yuxing had a gentle personality and never cared too much about it. Sometimes I can have a drink with my uncle, so that my uncle won't feel bored when he is alone."

Xu Yuxing knew that Xie Yujiao was afraid of embarrassment, so he put down his chopsticks and took a sip of the wine. Seeing that Xu Huiru and Xie Yujiao were both grown up, he felt a little bit reluctant, so he said, "If Chaozong wants to drink with me, I'm afraid I'll have to wait." A few years, but I don't want me to be bored, there is a way, the two of you get married earlier, and naturally someone will drink with me."

When Xu Huiru heard this, her cheeks turned red immediately, she just lowered her head and pursed her lips without speaking.Xie Yujiao was flirtatious by Zhou Tianhao earlier this morning, and there was still some atmosphere in her heart. Hearing Xu Yuxing say this now, she also felt a little awkward in her heart, so she just said, "Uncle is fine, and when it comes to us again, I and Cousin is still young anyway, so she's not in a hurry, if it's really worrying, uncle's matter should be the most worrying!"

Seeing that Xie Yujiao was about to mention that matter, Mrs. Xu felt a little nervous in her heart, fearing that Xu Yuxing would get angry again when she mentioned this matter. Pazi didn't speak, paying attention to Xu Yuxing's reaction.

This time Xu Yuxing didn't think he was as disgusted as before, he just lowered his head, took the wine glass and drank up the wine in it, and then said: "It's Huiru's birthday, we won't talk about it."

Seeing Xu Yuxing say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Xu quickly laughed and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these things today."

An Ansheng finally finished the meal, Mrs. Xu asked her maid to clean up the house, Xie Yujiao took the opportunity to pull Xu Huiru and said, "I'm not going back to Xiulou right now, let uncle go and sit down."

Xu Huiru knew what Xie Yujiao meant, so she just nodded quietly, and invited Xu Yuxing to go to Xiulou together.

Seeing Xu Yuxing go with Xu Huiru, Mrs. Xu felt a little worried, so she frowned and asked Xie Yujiao, "Do you think your cousin can persuade your uncle?"

Xie Yujiao knew Xu's temperament. If she didn't know the result, she might not be able to sleep today, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. Uncle has been refusing to renew the string because of my cousin. Now that my cousin has brought it up, uncle will naturally consider it." How much, even if you don't agree, there is always a certain amount, and besides, the uncle's usual care for the aunt is probably not all for our sake."

Hearing Xie Yujiao's persuasion, Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Sit with me for a while, and after your uncle leaves, you can go back and ask your cousin. If this matter can really come true , can be regarded as a matter of great concern to me."

Xu Yuxing went to the embroidery room with Xu Huiru, and he never forgot his daughter's birthday, even during the two years when Xu Huiru was in the capital, he always ordered his servants to prepare it on time when he was away from home.

Although Xu Yuxing had prepared for a long time, he didn't really understand what Xu Huiru needed. For example, this time, what he gave was a set of red gold and sapphire heads. He personally selected the gems in Persia and kept them privately. , made a face and gave it to Xu Huiru.

Xu Huiru looked at the glittering gold jewelry in the box, although she was happy in her heart, but it was always the same every year, no matter how happy she was, she actually got a little bored.Xu Yuxing really couldn't think of anything else, so the gems were getting bigger and heavier every year, and the gold was getting heavier every year.

"Why, doesn't Huiru like this jewelry?" Xu Yuxing looked at the faint smile on Xu Huiru's face, and seemed to feel something different from previous years.

"I like it..." Xu Huiru lowered her head and said in a low voice, "But Daddy gives these every year, and I don't usually have a chance to take them with me. They are a little dusty in the dowry."

Hearing this, Xu Yuxing only smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't usually wear it, these are all your dowry, but as long as your mother is still around, she must have prepared it properly for you. Now I have too many things to do. Do everything with all your heart, and you can only remember to save one or two things for you every year, so that it won’t be too shabby to leave the cabinet in the future.”

Xu Huiru became even more unhappy when she heard this, her face immediately dropped, and she frowned and said, "Daddy, my daughter is still young and doesn't want to marry yet, even if my daughter wants to leave the court, she has to wait for her father to let her go." Only when my affairs are settled down can I..."

When Xu Huiru said this, she was a little shy. She just lowered her head and dared not speak any more. Xu Yuxing was stunned for a moment and was about to speak, but Xu Huiru raised her head, looked at Xu Yuxing with tears in her eyes, curled her lips and said, "Daddy!" Don't you like grandma?"

Xu Huiru deliberately used the words "auntie and grandma". Xu Yuxing was a little stunned when he heard the words, but didn't know what to say for a while.

If it is said that he likes his great aunt, it doesn't seem to be the case, but he doesn't hate her and thinks she is a pitiful person.Especially the few quick glances on the sidewalk made Xu Yuxing feel that she seemed to be somewhat similar to her previous partner, she was so cautious, hiding in a shell, using her meager strength to care for the people around her.Probably because of this relationship, Xu Yuxing also paid more and more attention to her, but he didn't expect to see it in the eyes of outsiders, but it was more than that.

"This..." Xu Yuxing lowered his head, sighed slightly, stretched out his hands to rub the top of Xu Huiru's hair, and said: "Nowadays, the family is troubled, and the imperial court has been fighting for years. Let's talk about this now..."

When Xu Huiru heard what Xu Yuxing said, it was clearly an excuse, so she just lowered her head and wiped away her tears, put on a coquettish attitude of a little daughter, and said, "My daughter doesn't care, so according to what Daddy said, once the court fights, the people will not be able to marry? Then What is daddy still thinking about about his daughter leaving the cabinet?"

When Xu Yuxing saw Xu Huiru say this, he could only sigh that Xu Huiru was close to Zhu Zhechi. He had only been back for more than a year, and his small mouth was as eloquent as Xie Yujiao's.But Xu Yuxing was very happy in his heart. After all, Xu Huiru was too quiet in the past. Even if he left the cabinet in the future, such a temperament would be worrying, but now he is much better.

Xu Yuxing just lowered his head and smiled helplessly, sighed and said, "Daddy can't talk to you now, who gave you the idea, is it your cousin?"

Seeing Xu Yuxing say this, Xu Hui was also anxious. If Xu Yuxing got angry and angered Xie Yujiao and Xu, it would be bad.

"My cousin is too busy with her own affairs all day long. How can I have time to give me these ideas? I thought of them myself." Xu Huiru lowered her head, glanced at the new clothes she was wearing, and said, "I will I want to be like my cousin and Baozhen Baozhu, and I have mothers who love me."

No matter how hard-hearted Xu Yuxing was, after hearing this, his heart couldn't help softening, he just sighed and said, "Then Huiru, tell me, what do you mean?"

Xu Huiru thought for a while with blushing cheeks, then lowered her head and said, "Father clearly knows what I mean, but still wants to ask me, I'll be different from Daddy."

Xu Yuxing looked at Xu Huiru, feeling guilty that he couldn't hide in his heart. Since her mother passed away, he was busy with business, and he always wanted to find a place to settle her down. He always felt that living in a relative's house was better than finding a different A reliable stepmother is much more reliable.In fact, when a girl grows up, how can she lose her mother?

Xu Yuxing sighed, and only said, "I'll think about this matter when I go back. It's not something that you and I can achieve just by wishful thinking."

Xu Huiru raised her eyebrows a little when she heard what Xu Yuxing said, seeing that he had finally let go, reckoning that there might be some hope, she just wiped her tears and didn't mention this matter anymore, she personally served good tea, and the two chatted again.

When Xu Yuxing came out from Xu Huiru's side, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional in his heart. It has been a few years since he passed his thirties, and he did have the idea of ​​waiting for Xu Huiru to follow up after he came out of the cabinet.In this way, he can give Xu Huiru's dowry even if his step-wife does not handle it; secondly, he really doesn't want to hurt Xu Huiru's heart.It's just that she brought it up by herself today. After all, this matter cannot be delayed again and again.

Xu Yuxing passed by Xu's main room, wanted to go in, but felt a little embarrassed, so he went out of the inner courtyard and went to the guest room outside.

The little maids were watching outside early in the morning, and when they saw Xu Yu walking, they only came in and said, "Miss, my uncle has gone ahead, will you go back to the Xiulou now?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu was only depressed. If Xu Yuxing agreed to this, she would definitely tell herself first, and then she would have to ask her aunt what she meant by herself, but now she went directly to the outer court. After all, she was a little worried. Then he pushed Xie Yujiao and said, "Go back quickly and ask your cousin carefully. There is a possibility for this matter. If there is, I will make preparations earlier."

Xie Yujiao heard the words, and smiled as she walked: "Mother, why should you be so anxious? Uncle has been waiting for more than ten or twenty years, and he is not in a hurry. Mother should sleep peacefully and have a good night's sleep. I'll come back to tell you tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu is now willing to respond, and said in a hurry: "You girl, it's fun to make me sleepless all night?"

Xie Yujiao covered her mouth and laughed. When she got to the door, she turned her head and said, "Mother, don't worry. Whether it succeeds or not, I will send a servant girl to talk to you later."
