Chapter 15
Xu Jiaqing came the next morning and brought some cloth, saying that it was the third lady.Xu Jiatong responded with a smile, and then asked: "Originally, it was said that we were going to leave tomorrow, but no one came to give me a confirmation letter. Is it delayed?"

"Fourth sister doesn't know something. Yesterday my father looked through the handbook left by our ancestors. It said that the girls of the Xu family had to go to Foyuan Pavilion to watch the night before they left the pavilion. Although we didn't leave the pavilion immediately, but especially fourth sister, guess what? Uncle has already arranged a marriage, and he won't be back for two or three years, so he just wanted to arrange for us to watch the night together before leaving." Xu Jiaqing spoke very slowly, and managed to finish the sentence.

"Everything is under the arrangement of my third uncle. I will make more preparations when I leave at a later date. I want to ask my fifth sister some questions, but I don't know if I should ask them." Xu Jiatong changed the topic.

Xu Jiaqing nodded lightly with a bright smile and said, "Fourth sister, just ask."

Xu Jiatong has always been skeptical about what Xu Jiaqing said in front of Li Shi that day. She thought that if Xu Jiaqing was really ordered by others, if she made her words complicated, Xu Jiaqing could not understand, and the people behind would listen After that, it is inevitable that she will think about her more complicatedly, and the methods will emerge in an endless stream in the future.

If it was Xu Jiaqing's idea, then the truth is even more so.Only when she looks simple and weak, Xu Jiaqing will not regard her as an opponent.

"After Fifth Younger Sister said that to the old lady that day, even I felt that I was stinking of copper, and there was always a lump in my heart. I wonder if I offended Fifth Younger Sister? If so, I will definitely apologize." Xu Jiatong softly Soft and authentic.

Xu Jiaqing thought about it for a while, vaguely remembered what she said that day, scratched her hair on her temples and said, "Fourth Sister is overthinking, I don't have any real sisters, and the other cousins ​​are all in Xidu, only the Fourth Sister and one sister can talk, where can I talk to you?" I will say no to you. I just don’t think it’s wrong to exchange my own things for money, and it’s not something close to me. My mother also told me the day before that my fourth sister was flexible and informal, and let me understand the difficulties of my fourth sister. "

"Oh? What's my reason?" Xu Jiatong's eyes softened slightly.

"It's just that the private house is not enough, so I have to rely on the fourth sister to bear it." Xu Jiaqing seemed to have something to say, and she resisted not saying the whole thing.

There must be an explanation for why the usage is insufficient, and the explanation must be very embarrassing.For example, Cao's family is a concubine, for example, Xu Jiatong's background is not right.

Xu Jiatong didn't make things difficult for her, and said with a smile: "I misunderstood Fifth Sister, it's my fault. When I arrive in Xidu, I will personally embroider a screen for Fifth Sister to apologize."

Xu Jiaqing said a few more polite words before leaving, Xu Jiatong sighed, and said to Bi Shui: "Do you think Miss Wu is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"

"Girls should be cautious, but you don't have to be too shrewd about people. Look at the virtues of the young master. It's not surprising that the fifth girl is not shrewd." Bi Shui put the silk and satin in the box.

"It's fine if she's just stupid. If she's acting in front of me, or if she's too easy to be manipulated by others, it's a disaster." This person is always a hidden danger, Xu Jiatong thought about finding an opportunity to keep her away It's better to leave.

Bi Shui covered the box and said with a smile: "These materials are all of the best quality. I think you should save one for the girl to make clothes on the road, and make the rest when you arrive in Xidu?"

"According to your idea, when we arrive in the Western Capital, we will make it according to the new style of the Western Capital. We don't have the time to do it right now. Ah Xiang is good at crafting. Give her more opportunities to learn new things. Maybe she can help weaving in the future." Fang's affairs." Xu Jiatong urged.

"There should be more people around the girl who can do things." Bi Shui laughed.

"Go and find out, which of my big cousin's friends is going to continue, does this person have sisters?" Xu Jiatong's mouth had a faint sneer.

Xu Jiatong called Ah Xiang and Shuang Xiu to come in and inquire about the situation of Foyuan Pavilion, Bi Shui took the badge and left the mansion, and did not come back until dinner.She didn't know why Xu Jiatong suddenly inquired about such a person, but she dutifully inquired about the news.

It turned out that the friend Xu Lianping mentioned was named Fang Rui, who started doing business in his father's generation, and started doing business in his generation.He is a good hand in business, but in terms of personal morality, he really can't look directly at it. It is said that this person began to linger in the brothel Chuguan when he was 14 years old, and the wives and concubines at home couldn't restrain him.His two wives passed away within two years after entering the house, and four or five concubines also died strangely.

In addition to Fang Rui, the generation of the Fang family also has a girl named Fang Xinniang who is waiting to be married. Contrary to her brother, she has a chaste and virtuous character. My dear brother, the person who is still being proposed has broken the threshold.

Xu Lianping just wanted to find a successor for Fang Rui. It can't be said how close Fang Rui and Xu Lianping are, because it was Fang Rui's father who made the list at the door of the house.If anyone becomes the old man of this month, the Fang family will not only reward him with a lot of money, but also give him a gambling house.

Xu Jiatong sneered for a while, and said to Bi Shui: "Try to get close to Miss Fang's body, as long as you can put something on Miss Fang's body, and let Young Master Fang see it."

She had to try to keep her face as calm as possible, not to ruin the important affairs of Jinxiufang at this juncture, not to let Dai Yuanguan get hold of it, and the person hiding in the dark must also be careful.In short, she is bound to win the Jinxiufang in the Western Capital.

In the evening, Mrs. Li sent Xue Ling, a second-class maid beside her, to pass on the message, saying that Xu Xiaozu had sent a letter, and Mrs. Li asked Xu Jiatong and Xu Jiaqing to go over and talk together.

The cold wind blows from time to time, Xu Jiatong feels uncomfortable for no reason, and it is ridiculous to think about it, Xu Xiaozu has not written a letter to her for more than ten years, it is the Cao family who raised him I never got a single word, and now I finally got the news, and it was still named to her.

In that cold and damp ancestral house, she had imagined countless times that one day Xu Xiaozu would take her out of there and take her to the western capital in a warm and comfortable carriage.

But at this moment, the countless long-awaited expectations brewed in dreams and hopeless despair did not bring her the slightest surprise.
"Miss Xueling, I'm going back to the West Mansion in a few days. Speaking of which, my days in the mansion are numbered. The old lady is getting old, but unfortunately I don't have the chance to be filial. This time Miss Wu will go with her, too. The wife will have to rely on the young lady and Miss Xuexin to take care of it. I can’t do anything else, if the old lady or the two young ladies like something new from Xidu in the future, I will try my best to get it.” Xu Jiatong smiled politely .
