Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 12

Although Xu Jiatong had already expected it somewhat, Xu Jiatong couldn't help being shocked when he heard Duan's words. It seemed that the Dai family attached great importance to the Jinxiufang's entry into the Western Capital, and even Dai Yuanguan, the owner of the family who had never shown his face, showed up.

Duan pushed aside the bead curtain, led her to salute Dai Yuanguan, and said humbly: "Master Dai, this is the most proud apprentice of the women, the fourth daughter of the Xu family, Xu Jiatong. It just so happens that her father is going to pick her up recently Back in the Western Capital, the woman is thinking about entrusting her with Jinxiu Fang's business in the Western Capital for the time being. You can tell her what you have to do, what do you think?"

Tea was boiling in the small pot on the low table, white smoke curled up, Dai Yuanguan seemed to be in the smoke.After entering the inner hall, he found that he was not sitting on an ordinary chair, but leaning on a slightly higher recliner.His complexion was pale and a little greenish-yellow, his clothes were loose and his figure could not be discerned, but it was conceivable that he was haggard after years of serious illness.

But such a sick and weak person not only does not look ugly at all, but is a bit fairy-like.His facial features are deep, his thick eyebrows are stretched, and his eyes are deep.The eyes just glanced casually, and wherever they went, there was a bit of a chill as if they were seen through.

"It's her?" Dai Yuanguan looked at her sharply, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, a little disapprovingly.

Thinking that they were afraid that the disease would infect others, the steward brought by Dai Yuanguan stopped them at the door, asked them to sit down, and added a piece of spices to the incense burner, the strong smell of herbs was smoked away. Come.

"Don't look at her young age, but she is the most thoughtful in Jinxiufang's generation, and her brocade and embroidery skills are also the best. It's not that the women boast about it, and it's not bad even if she enters the Shang Palace. Why don't you ask her alone Now, the women are going to get embroidery samples and brocades." Duan smiled slightly at Xu Jiatong, signaling her to seize the opportunity.

"Uncle Pang, you go with Master Duan." Dai Yuanguan ordered politely, coughing a few times uncontrollably.

Pang Tai said yes, and closed the door when he went out.Xu Jiatong never imagined that when he left the dark alley and went back to his ancestral house, he was only five steps away from such a big man.Her face was still as calm as before, but her heart was no longer calm.

"Master Dai, it's my honor for Master to let me take up the important task of Jinxiufang in the Western Capital. But I am still young, and to be honest, I have never run a weaving workshop. When it comes to taking care of the house, even though my grandmother gave me advice Quite a lot, but the situation at that time really did not allow me to have the opportunity to intervene in the family affairs. All I had was craftsmanship, and all I could do was try my best to do well what Master Dai and Jinxiufang were going to do." Xu Jiatong said frankly.

Since Dai Yuanguan attaches so much importance to Jinxiufang's stall in Xidu, he will definitely evaluate the candidates appointed by Duan.Her things that are well-known in Kunshan don't need to be told by her, his people will find out clearly, so it's better to be honest with each other from the beginning.

"You are Xu Xiaozu's first daughter?" Dai Yuanguan put down the herbal tea in his hand, and his probing eyes wandered over her.

Xu Jiatong suddenly felt very uncomfortable, his gaze was too presumptuous, and the reason was unknown.This feeling is not lustful and contemptuous, but with a kind of disgust, even hatred.

But how is this possible?Xu Jiatong was sure that they had never met before.Even if the Dai family and the Xu family had some unknown enmity, a big man like Dai Yuanguan would not transfer the enmity to a girl like her who was not valued by the Xu family at all.

Xu Jiatong nodded and said: "My father is Xu Xiaozu, who is an official in the Western Capital, Master Dai knows my father?"

"It's kind of acquaintance." Dai Yuanguan said perfunctorily, and he was very honest about this, "You were born and lost your mother, and you were sent to Kunshan before the full moon to be raised by Mrs. Xu at that time. Am I right?"

Inexplicably, Xu Jiatong couldn't figure out his intentions, but at this moment she couldn't help but answer after she figured it out, so she could only say: "Exactly."

After coughing for a while, Dai Yuanguan suddenly sneered: "You are Master Xu's daughter, and Master Xu is Aunt Li's biological son. Aunt Li has been in charge of the Xu family's ancestral house for a long time, but she has not taken care of you for a long time. The granddaughter who was connected by blood was brought up by her side. You said that she left you by the side of the former enemy to be peaceful, to serve and be filial, what is she thinking?"

Xu Jiatong's body trembled, and she even tilted the stool. It's not like she hadn't thought about this question, why did Mrs. Li leave her own granddaughter to her former mortal enemy, and let her only have grandparent love for this mortal enemy.She hadn't figured it out either, she could only think that the Li family had to be bound by the patriarchal clan and could not overturn the decision of the clan elders back then.

As for Li Shi never expressing concern for her in private, she could only ignore it.These thoughts that had been buried in his heart for a long time were revealed by Dai Yuanguan in just a few words, what exactly did he want to do.

"In the past ten years, whether it was me when I was a child or the me now, there is only one thing that needs to be taken care of all the time, and that is survival. As for the others, I really have no time to speculate." Xu Jiatong's tone couldn't help but stiffen when he was provoked.

Dai Yuanguan was silent for a while, appreciating her gaffe, and said coldly: "Survival, it's true, sometimes there is nothing more difficult than trying to survive. Maybe you think you are already miserable, but have you I thought about it, some people don't even have the right to think about the way to survive, everything about him is in the hands of others, I don't know if Miss Four understands this feeling?"

"I understand." Xu Jiatong's heart became more and more uneasy, and he didn't understand what he meant by these words.

"No, you don't understand. People who don't experience pain will not understand. But there is no need to worry. If you want to make rapid progress in life, you have to experience this." Dai Yuanguan finally shifted his gaze to the medicine cup again. superior.

"Master Dai, I'm about Jinxiufang..." The pressure dropped suddenly, Xu Jiatong breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately wanted to return to the main topic.

"Just follow Master Duan's instructions. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to run a business, just watch those weavers and embroiderers." Dai Yuanguan said coldly.

"Thank you, Master Dai, for your tolerance. I will do my best." Xu Jiatong secretly heaved a sigh of relief. No matter how many detours he made, his wish finally came true.

"Go." Dai Yuanguan dropped these two words and did not say another word.

Xu Jiatong tactfully withdrew and went outside to wait for Mrs. Duan.Perhaps people with a high status and high status like Dai Yuanguan have a bit of a bad temper. As long as we reach a consensus with them on major issues, it's better to muddle through the minutiae.

But what Dai Yuanguan just said just now can't be due to his eccentric temper, Xu Jiatong can only keep it in his heart, and don't think about it for the time being, it will take time for her to discover many things.

Seeing Xu Jiatong come out, Pang Tai led in a middle-aged attendant who was waiting outside.There are only the three of them here, and Pang Tai's address to Dai Yuanguan has not changed, he respectfully said: "Dian...Master, did you know that Miss Xu before?"

"What happened to the people in the dark?" Dai Yuanguan stood up suddenly, lazily stretched his muscles and bones, his voice was no longer hoarse, and the continuous coughing sound even disappeared.

When he didn't get an answer, Pang Tai's heart skipped a beat. It seems that this is not what he should ask.He silently looked at the middle-aged attendant beside him and said, "Chess basket, master is asking you something."

"Everyone is watching, everything is in order, please rest assured, master." This person's name is Zhao Qiyun, and his voice is thinner than that of ordinary men.Although I practiced it deliberately, it still sounds a little strange.

"I'm very relieved that you two are performing your duties." Dai Yuanguan glanced over the two of them, and landed on the bronze mirror next to him, "Zhao Qiyun, today's color is a bit pale."
