Chapter 279
After Xu Jiaxing finished her meal, Xu Jiatong didn't feel much emotion. The friendship between them was not deep, and she and Sanfang had an old grudge.

Sanfang asked her to help, even if it didn't work, she didn't want the past grievances to affect the future.As for Xu Jiaxing, she was even more afraid that Xu Jialan would slow down and would not let her go. She showed her favor to Xu Jiatong at this time, and she wanted to make those people feel apprehensive.

But the next day, around noon, Xu Xiaozu sent Butler Zhang to invite Xu Jiatong to the study to talk.

"You all prepare first, take less clothes, and bring more valuables." Xu Jiatong ordered Bi Shui and Ah Xiang to pack their things.

Entering the palace to be selected is not the emperor's choice of concubine, but a maid can be brought in. People think that Xu Jiatong must bring Bishui, but they don't think she wants to bring Ah Xiang.

There is always someone to take care of this painting garden, to deal with Lin and the others, but also to deal with Sanfang, and more importantly, Cao will come to Xidu soon and needs to be taken care of.Cao Shi and Ah Xiang have only met a handful of times, and Bishui is the right one.

The two agreed, and continued to rummage through boxes and boxes. Xu Jiatong then followed Steward Zhang to the study.

In the study room, Xu Xiaozu wasn't reading and practicing calligraphy, he was just pacing up and down there with his hands behind his back, apparently with a heavy heart.

"I've met my father. I'm going to enter the palace to be elected tomorrow. I wanted to say goodbye to you, but you called me here first." Xu Jiatong said politely.

"Just come." Xu Xiaozu nodded, his expression relaxed a little, "Do you have any plans to enter the palace this time?"

"Entering the palace to be elected, I have to listen to the arrangements of the king, the queen, and the nobles and masters in the palace wherever I go. As long as I don't make mistakes and seize one or two opportunities to perform a little bit, that's it. What else can I do? Plan?" Xu Jiatong laughed.

Xu Jiatong is a very self-aware person, she knows very well that after entering the palace, there are too few things she can do, and she has never planned to become famous all at once.

"How could this be, you are close to girls from the Ma family and Wang family, and you have won the appreciation of the queen, it's not limited to this." Xu Xiaozu is full of ambition, very sure that she will have a good future.

"Then what does father want from me?" Xu Jiatong really wanted to hear his plan.

"You can't marry this prince, but the son of an official is quite possible. If you can't marry into the general's family or their family, then look at these families who are related to the official department and the household department. I can find a good son-in-law. After a few years, if you give your third sister a hand, our Xu family will be rejuvenated." Xu Xiaozu said with a smile.

Xu Xiaozu and Xu Xiaoxian are really brothers, they always want to sell their daughters.It's just that Xu Xiaozu was a little better, but he wasn't as successful as Xu Xiaoxian.

Xu Jiatong smiled coldly: "Then what if you can't get married?"

"No, never, just remember what I said, and promise me that you must repay the Xu family's kindness in nurturing you." Xu Xiaozu recognized this truth and insisted on her promise, "If you don't want to help Jia Lan, that's all, but the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the lintel rests on your shoulders."

"Father, you haven't raised me for a day, but now you feel at ease. If I refuse, you will definitely threaten me with your grandmother, but don't forget, I am also a person who can enter the palace anyway. If I say you If you don't show filial piety to your aunt and seek fame, you, the Marquis of Ding'an, will only do more disgraceful." Xu Jiatong retorted.

"You... I put you in the ancestral house for reasons." Xu Xiaozu lost face, and the explanation seemed absurd, "You were raised by your grandmother, you are familiar with the rules of the palace, and you are good at weaving and embroidery. This is an arrangement between me and the Xu family. As a girl, you should relax your mind and don't worry about it."

"Then you are really far-sighted. When I was still in my infancy, you knew the pearl with your eyes. You knew that I would be able to have today, so you threw me into the ancestral house for more than ten years. Don't say anything else, I He almost died many times, and almost died at the hands of his third uncle and third aunt, how will this account be settled?" Xu Jiatong didn't intend to be coaxed by him with just a few words.

No matter what good things Xu Xiaozu said, Xu Jiatong would never forget the past, let alone be dismissed by him in a few words. The reason why she is still talking nonsense with him here is because he wants more.

In the days when she is going to leave, the Ding'an Hou Mansion will definitely not be peaceful.Lin Shi and Xu Jialan will definitely regain power in a different way and eliminate dissidents. If they just let them toss, when she comes back, it will definitely be worse than before.

Only by mobilizing the several forces in the mansion and fighting together, can the situation be maintained and give herself and Xu Lianjue a chance to take advantage of the chaos.

Xu Xiaoxian and Zheng's are her elders after all, it's not worth it for her to do it and get her own reputation, it's better to instigate Xu Xiaozu to do it.

"Your third uncle and third aunt attacked you?" Xu Xiaozu was also surprised, he knew that those people would not treat her well, but it would be too blatant to take her life.

"It's more than that, I don't believe it. After so many years, you don't know anything. They did it in the name of Erniang. I will put the words here today. If Erniang didn't instigate those things, then The third uncle and the third aunt must bear the responsibility, I will not sacrifice my life for a family that does not care about my life." Xu Jiatong said bluntly.

"This..." Xu Xiaozu hesitated again, won't people say that he mutilated his siblings again?
"Could it be that you also got involved? If not, how could you not help your own daughter to uphold justice?" Xu Jiatong asked relentlessly.

"Those things have nothing to do with me, but there may be misunderstandings. After all, they are blood relatives. How could this be? We must investigate the matter clearly before making a conclusion." Xu Xiaozu made up his mind and dragged on.

"You are the only one who still regards her as your blood brother, but you are a descendant of a concubine, and he is a descendant of a concubine. There is a difference, and he also has grievances in his heart. He has long stopped treating you as an elder brother. They use your name Not to mention walking sideways in Kunshan, intending to renege on the marriage of your son, and eagerly running to the West to pave the way for your son to usurp other people's property, do you not notice it at all?" Xu Jiatong said in his words. With grievances said.

"This property belongs to our second wife, they can't take it away. Besides, it's not like you don't have an elder brother, isn't there Lian Jue? Don't think about it all day long." It's not that Xu Xiaozu doesn't understand, it's just that he doesn't want to waste a lot of trouble.

Xu Xiaozu believed that with his status as a father, Xu Jiatong would definitely submit, so why did he put in so much effort to deal with the third party and tear his face apart?

"They even sold their daughter, so what else can't be done? I don't care. If you don't help me out, I don't care about anything." Xu Jiatong sat down on the chair next to him with broken pots.

Xu Xiaozu used some coaxing, and wrote flattering words: "I originally wanted you to marry the eldest son of the Yang family. That is not a good destination. If I hadn't been in the midst of mediation, this marriage would not have fallen on Jiaqing. You You should thank me, and you should also thank your third uncle's family for taking care of you. What happened in the past... I will definitely investigate and give you an explanation, but it is too late right now, and it is important to enter the palace."

"Okay, I believe you're not done yet? But father, you must treat grandma well, let her enjoy her old age peacefully, and don't let her have any regrets in her heart." Xu Jiatong sighed, looked at him and said, "If this I can't do anything well, so I can only sigh that my fate with the Xu family is not deep."

"You child." Xu Xiaozu said helplessly, "She is also my mother, you can enter the palace without worry, in Ding'an Hou's mansion, I have the final say."

"Then I don't worry, and please don't worry too. If you track down the person in the third room and treat grandma well, if you do both, I will not forget the Xu family's kindness to me in nurturing me." Xu Jiatong saw that his goal had been achieved. I don't love fighting either.

At this time, Butler Zhang reported outside, saying that Xu Lianping had come, and Xu Xiaozu had just heard Xu Jiatong's words, and felt a headache when he heard the name.

"Second uncle." Xu Lianping was dressed in fine clothes, but he was very energetic.

"The new clothes you wear are for dealing with people from the Yang family?" Xu Jiatong looked at him in surprise.

When Xu Lianjue walked around the mansion on weekdays, he dressed very casually, and only put up the facade when he went outside.His new clothes, which are luxuriously made and exquisitely crafted, are much better than those he used to, so it can be seen that they were carefully arranged.Dressed like this, it's not hard to imagine that he is going to the Yang Mansion to arrange a wedding for Xu Jiaqing.

"This outfit is quite spirited. It's decent to go to Yang's residence. Lian Ping, you have to remember that you should speak neither humble nor overbearing when talking to members of the Yang family, showing the character of our Xu family." Xu Xiaozu looked at Xu Lianping's outfit with satisfaction.

Kunshan is no better than the West, the people and things there are involuntarily covered with a layer of rusticity in front of Xu Xiaozu, he is always afraid that these people from Sanfang will do something that will lose face when they come.

And Xu Xiaozu was afraid that they would show a flattering face in front of the Yang family, which would make him also be implicated, and he would feel ashamed when he walked around in the future.

But Xu Lianping never played cards according to the cards, what he said next, shocked Xu Xiaozu's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

"Jiaqing's marriage is naturally decided by my parents. I wear this new outfit for my fourth sister. Fourth sister, look, this dress won't embarrass you, right?" Xu Lianping slowly turned around. Make a circle so that Xu Jiatong can see clearly the front and back of him.

Xu Jiatong asked puzzledly: "My face? The eldest cousin is joking, what does it have to do with my face?"

It's not bad for him not to embarrass her, so he can still take care of her face?

"That's natural. I heard that the carriages for the noble daughters to enter the palace are prepared by each family themselves, and most of the people who see them off are the noble daughter's brothers or nephews in the family. I am the eldest son of the Xu family. , and the only legitimate son, of course I will send you to the gate of the palace tomorrow. How is it? This body should be comparable to those young masters in Xidu, right?" Xu Lianping said complacently.
