Chapter 310 Cao's Arrival
After the election, Queen Wu wanted to rest in the palace for a while, but she was not at ease.The image of Xu Jiatong kept appearing in front of her eyes, regretting the decision just now, and feeling that it should be like this.

The more Queen Wu thought about it, the more she felt guilty. After 16 years of separation, she met three times in such a hurry. She did not do enough and compensated too little.

"Yulan." Queen Wu sat up, put on a coat and ordered, "I just asked her if she had a sweetheart, and she said no, but she hesitated at that time, and I felt that there was someone in her heart." Yes. You go and inquire, if Bengong's guess is correct, she must be allowed to fulfill her wish."

"I'm going to inquire now, maidservant. But, ma'am, the Fourth Miss Xu is very close to the members of the Dai family. Could she have any connection with His Royal Highness Sheng Wang?" Yulan was somewhat worried.

"Being close to the Dai family doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Yuan Shen. If it's a member of the Dai family...or if she marries into the Dai family, maybe she can help Yuan Xiang win some money." Queen Wu secretly Intend.

Yulan immediately took the badge she bought and left the palace. Everything related to Xu Jiatong was done by her and Tai Eunuch herself, there was no room for sloppyness, and no leaks.

Xu Jiatong just felt refreshed after leaving the palace gate. She looked at Ah Xiang who had changed a little around her, and immediately felt that the experience of entering the palace was really rewarding.

For Xu Jiatong, she dreamed of the Phoenix Palace in the past, if she didn't go there once in her life, she might leave a lifetime of regrets.During the few days she was in Chuyun Pavilion, she had a new understanding of many things in the palace, as calm as her, she naturally felt that it was just that.

For Ah Xiang, the significance is even more significant.In the past few days, Fuxin in Chuyun Pavilion has sent two young maids to serve Xu Jiatong and Ma Qinge, Xu Jiatong simply asked Ah Xiang to compete with a few court ladies who are proficient in embroidery in Chuyun Pavilion.

It was also a mistake. Among the court ladies, He Shangyi Bureau was familiar with them, and invited a female official to guide them. Ah Xiang learned a lot in the past few days, and even got a silk handkerchief embroidered by the female official.

"Girl, is that our carriage over there?" Ah Xiang pointed to the front.

There was a totem of Dai's business name on the carriage, Xu Jiatong recognized it, and before they stepped forward, Zhao Qiyun came up to meet them.

"Fourth Miss, please hurry up, we can't stay here for long." Zhao Qiyun said with a smile, and quickly let them get into the carriage.

Xu Jiatong only thought that this was the entrance of the palace, and the Dai family's carriage could not stop, so he didn't feel any difference.

"Is the Dai family still in peace these few days? I heard some troubles from people in the palace." On the way, Xu Jiatong couldn't help asking.

"Some minor disturbances are justified, but there have been too many people targeting the Dai family recently, and the fourth girl had better be careful outside." Zhao Qiyun's tone did not sound dignified.

"When can I see Master Dai again?" Xu Jiatong felt guilty.

They both reached the point where they were talking about marriage. Although it was fake, she didn't even know whether he was in the west, but he remembered the day when she left the palace and sent Zhao Qiyun to pick her up. , she is really dereliction of duty.

"This...fourth girl, you'd better go back to the Marquis Mansion first. Your grandmother Mrs. Cao will be here in a while. Marquis Ding'an and his wife are making arrangements in the mansion." Zhao Qiyun said evasively.

Mrs. Cao just arrived today?Xu Jiatong was stunned for a moment, she thought that the Cao family had already arrived during the time she was in Chuyun Pavilion, but it seemed that she was delayed at the ancestral house.

The Marquis of Ding'an Mansion was indeed different from the past. Xu Jiatong got out of the carriage, and at a glance, he saw the middle door was wide open, and a big red lantern was hung inside.The stone steps in front of the door were also cleaned up early, and it looked like it was washed out bit by bit.

In the past, Ding'an Hou's Mansion looked very old and looked dilapidated, but now it is full of joy, people who don't know will think that some of their young masters or girls are going to have a wedding.

"Miss Si is back, Miss Si is back." Someone announced at the door.

Xu Jiatong was going all the way to Xu Xiaozu's place, but before reaching the place, he bumped into Xu Xiaozu and Lin Shi who were coming towards him.

Xu Xiaozu and Mrs. Lin were arranging their own clothes and accessories as they walked, and they also helped each other to look at them, for fear that there might be some omissions that would be out of etiquette.

"Jiatong is back?" Lin smiled unnaturally.

"I met my father and my second mother. The selection is over. I didn't get selected, so I came back after receiving the reward." Xu Jiatong deliberately didn't mention that she was going home to fulfill her filial piety and received Zhao Yu's reward. She just wanted to test their reactions. .

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiaozu just nodded vaguely: "The gate of the palace is as deep as the sea, it may not be a good thing not to be selected. Your grandmother's car will be here soon, and it's okay for you to behave like this. Follow us to welcome her to her old man's house."

"Jiatong, your grandmother is coming soon, let's let go of other things first, we can't let outsiders see the joke." Lin rarely took the opportunity to make trouble.

Xu Jiatong and Ah Xiang followed behind them, looking at the newly decorated scenery along the way, it seems that whether it is Lin or Xu Xiaozu, the most important thing right now is how to rectify their names, and they can put it aside.

As long as the Cao family recognizes Xu Xiaozu and the Lin family, it will be a matter of Xu Xiaozu being the first son of the Xu family, and it will be a matter of time before the Lin family gets Cao's approval, enters the genealogy, and goes to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.

Xu Xiaozu longed to be able to raise his head in front of his colleagues and old friends, and Mrs. Lin had long wanted to rectify his name and Xu Jialan's name after suffering for so many years. At this time, no one would miss their important event because of Xu Jiatong .

"Steward Zhang, if you ask someone to go to the gate of the city to have a look, Mrs. Tai must come back and report in advance when she arrives." Xu Xiaozu said anxiously.

There was a big blister on Xu Xiaozu's thin upper lip, which was caused by worries these days.

It's good that Xu Jiatong wasn't chosen, so he wouldn't have to spend all his time guarding against her.

Xu Xiaozu knew some things back then, and always thought that Xu Jiatong was the blood of those two in the palace. He never doubted that Xu Jiatong would one day embark on a road of nobility, unless she would never appear in front of Queen Wu for the rest of her life.

But how and when to be distinguished is also particular.If Xu Jiatong realizes how important he is to the Xu family as a father, then she will remember the benefits of him and the Xu family and repay her when she is truly wealthy.

Mrs. Lin couldn't see Xu Jiatong's good looks even more. As long as Mrs. Cao recognized her and helped Xu Jialan to rectify her name, she would make Xu Jiatong look good sooner or later.

"Here we come, Madam Tai's carriage is here." Steward Zhang ran back first, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the city, he saw Cao's carriage from a distance.

Xu Xiaozu and Lin's spirits became serious, Xu Jiatong glanced over and felt that their faces were shining brightly.

After waiting for a while, the carriage really came.Mrs. Cao got out of the carriage with the help of an unfamiliar servant girl. Xu Xiaozu was the first to go up to him, and supported Mrs. Cao from the other side.

Xu Jiatong looked at Cao Shi whose complexion had improved a bit, his nose was sour, and he almost shed tears.

During these days, she made a lot of efforts to try to make Xu Xiaozu feel that he can't do without Cao's approval, but in the final analysis, Xu Xiaozu and Lin's name urgently need to be rectified, otherwise it will not be easy.

"My daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin, leads the Hou family to welcome my mother." Lin also performed the scene, leading the female family members of the Hou mansion and all the servants to salute and greet her.

Xu Jiatong stood behind Lin and saluted, she looked around, Xu Jialan and Xu Jiaxing were not among them, Xu Jialan might not be able to leave the house yet, Xu Jiaxing must have been rejected by Lin.

"Second Mother, where is Fifth Sister?" Xu Jiatong asked in a low voice.

"Jiaqing and your third uncle and third aunt went to Juexiao Temple to offer incense. Your father and I only got your grandmother's itinerary yesterday, so we didn't have time to inform them, but it's only two days or so, and they should be back. " Lin smiled, got up and greeted her.

Mrs. Cao looked at Xu Xiaozu who was already a stranger. She hadn't seen him for more than ten years. Xu Xiaozu's appearance had changed a bit. After all, she was a child raised by herself. Seeing her at this time, she felt a little touched.

But it was also this child who was brought up by her so hard that allowed her to suffer in a private house for more than ten years, which made her feel a little less.

"Filial Ancestor, my son, are you alright in Xidu?" After all, Cao decided to give him some face, but didn't speak clearly.

If Mrs. Cao said at this time, "My son, I haven't seen you in more than ten years", I'm afraid the people around would have exploded.

"Mother, my son is not filial, I should have taken you to Xidu earlier to enjoy the blessings." Xu Xiaozu's face was ashamed, he had missed Cao's in these years, but these few tears were shed for the first time.

"My daughter-in-law has seen her mother." Lin stepped forward and said respectfully.

Lin fully thought that if Cao accepted Xu Xiaozu, she would accept her, and if she didn't accept her, she would not give Xu Xiaozu face, but she really didn't understand Cao.

In the heart of the mother, the son is the son, the daughter-in-law is the daughter-in-law, the son is her own, and the daughter-in-law is always an outsider when it comes to matters related to the son and grandson.

Don't say that there is something wrong with the identity of Lin's stepmother, even if it is perfect, Cao himself doesn't like it, and he won't recognize it.

"My daughter-in-law? Xiaozu, didn't my daughter-in-law die 15 years ago?" Cao said harshly.

It's a joke, it's not impossible for her to recognize Lin, but she can't do so easily.

Xu Xiaozu's face froze, he almost let go of Cao's hand, but was held tightly by Cao.

"Where's my granddaughter? Jiatong, Jiatong?" Mrs. Cao looked towards the door.

Xu Jiatong walked out in such a graceful manner, walked around Mrs. Lin and arrived in front of Mrs. Cao.The maid also had good eyesight, and when she saw her coming, she gave up her seat and asked Xu Jiatong to support Cao Shi.

"Grandmother, you are confused. My mother is indeed gone. She is not my mother, but Erniang." Xu Jiatong whispered in her ear, but everyone around her could hear her words clearly.
