Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 324
Xu Xiaoxian trembled and involuntarily backed away a few steps, Xu Xiaozu just said this, and Xu Jiatong and Fang Rui were a few steps away from him, but he seemed to be pushed away violently.

Without the support of Xu Xiaozu...Xu Xiaoxian didn't dare to think about it. He had offended many people in Kunshan these years, but they didn't bother with him because they were afraid that Xu's family had another Xu Xiaozu who was a lord in the western capital.

If the family is separated, he will lose not only the money that he can earn in the future, but also the backing. Those people may take the opportunity to make many troubles that make him unable to live in peace.

And Xu Lianping... Yes, Xu Xiaozu can ignore him, but he shouldn't ignore Xu Lianping, right?

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense, I am wrong about this matter, but Lian Ping is the only legitimate son of our lineage, in the future..." Xu Xiaoxian said unwillingly.

"Shut up, Xu Lianjue is my son. If I want to make him the son, you should stop thinking about it! Once Jiaqing's marriage is over, you can take your useless son and go back to Kunshan. I'll go back immediately and invite my mother and several clan elders to preside over the separation!" Xu Xiaozu said in a stern voice.

Xu Xiaoxian still wanted to jump up and say something, but with this movement, he fell down directly. His eyes were dark, and the voices of Butler Zhang, maids, and servants could be heard next to his ears. Those noisy voices became farther and farther away, and he finally fainted past.

Xu Jiatong at the door was about to come back to check on Xu Xiaoxian's situation, but Xu Xiaozu said: "Hurry up and send Mr. Fang there, you go and tell your third aunt what I said."

Xu Xiaozu looked at Xu Xiaoxian who was limp on the ground like a puddle of mud, he realized that he had very little to worry about, the brothers had been separated for too long these years, and they were worse than some strangers, he let out a long sigh , Go back to his Danfang to meditate.

Xu Jiatong took Fang Rui to see Xu Lianjue. Xu Lianjue had just heard movement ahead and didn't know what happened. Naturally, he didn't know Fang Rui.

"Second brother." Xu Jiatong blessed the body, "This is Lord Fang from Kunshan. Father is busy with his affairs. Let me bring you here to entertain you for a few days until the eldest cousin's matter is settled."

"Second son, please be polite, just call me Fang Rui." Fang Rui bowed his hands politely.

"You're welcome, I have nothing to do these days, so I can just ask Brother Fang for advice on chess skills." Xu Lianjue couldn't figure out Fang Rui's tricks, but it was always good to talk about the joy of playing chess.

"It's been a while, so I just asked the second son to help me review." Fang Rui also said politely.

Xu Jiatong smiled: "Second Brother, Master Fang's family has quite a lot of property, he is a master of management, and you are also proficient in general affairs. You not only have chess skills to learn from."

"Oh? Then I'm going to ask Brother Fang for advice." Xu Lianjue's eyes lit up, "Brother Fang, please do the inside first, and I'll ask someone to make a good Biluochun for you."

"It's easy to say." Fang Rui followed the boy in with a humble demeanor.

Only then did Xu Lianjue ask: "What is the relationship between this brother Fang and the eldest cousin?"

Xu Jiatong gave an overview of the matter, and then said: "When the troubles come to such an extent, the eldest cousin probably wants to marry his younger sister. Just be polite. In the future, you will definitely be a relative. Even if you can't be a relative, you can be a friend." There is nothing to lose but nothing to gain.”

Xu Lianjue nodded, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's good that the eldest cousin has such a Yue family and brother-in-law. You can always control him. Don't be angry with the eldest cousin, and persuade father, it's because I am not up-to-earth, otherwise this The family business will not be coveted."

"You can't choose who you are, what you can choose is the future. I also want to congratulate my second brother, the happy event is coming soon." Xu Jiatong laughed.

"Happy event?" Xu Lianjue was puzzled.

"Father just said that he wants to establish a son and separate the family. Who else can this son be?" Xu Jiatong laughed.

"Father really said that?" Xu Jiatong asked
"Of course it's true. At that time, my father was very angry. I reminded him from the side. The only way to do it now is to completely cut off the thoughts of Sanfang. My father must have thought about it for a long time, and I said it as soon as I said it." Come out, this time it will most likely succeed." Xu Jiatong laughed.

"But mother's side?" Xu Lianjue still had some scruples.

"Now that grandma is here, the old man nods, Erniang can't do anything about it. If Erniang objects strongly, that's easy. Let's find someone to go to the eldest cousin and tell him the news, so that he thinks that father is going to recruit for third sister. If the son-in-law is married, he will definitely hit the door, and the second mother will definitely not object." Xu Jiatong came up with an idea to fight poison with fire.

"Thank you again for reminding me. If you have anything to help, just tell me." Xu Lianjue said.

Both of them knew that Xu Jialan might recruit a son-in-law in the future, but her future husband would not be allowed to be a prince, and the imperial court and Dali Temple would never allow it.

The reason why Lin has been suppressing Xu Lianjue is because he is afraid that he will gain power and take away the power from their mother and daughter, not because he wants Xu Jialan's husband to become a lord.When the day is too late, unless Xu Xiaozu has another son, Xu Lianjue will definitely inherit the title.

"I'm afraid I really need your help, second brother, for one thing." Xu Jiatong smiled, but it wasn't for herself, "The third cousin, that is, your third cousin, is living a hard life in his hometown in Kunshan. He is cared for by a seriously ill old mother, has a good wife and young son, and there are debts left by his father at home, but he is indeed a good candidate for studying and taking exams. I made a promise at the beginning to help him with his livelihood so that he Concentrate on studying. Now that I have a lot of money, I can help him with some money, but it is better to teach people to fish than to give them a fish. I should help their family find a job. I just want to ask my second brother to help me think about it. It’s good for them to do small business, the cost is not high, and they can live a better life.”

"That's easy. Since the third cousin is a scholar, why don't you help him open a study, in addition to selling books, you can also mount calligraphy and paintings, and put some four treasures of the study, piano, and chess in it. I can help him set up all these from Xidu. If it looks new or expensive, I can give it to him. This will not delay his studies, and it will be elegant in the future, and he will not be said to be tainted with the stench of copper." Xu Lianjue laughed.

Xu Jiatong nodded again and again: "This is indeed good, but my money is not too much. I can only take out 500 taels for this first sum. I'm afraid I can only collect some reliable and fashionable ones, not expensive ones."

"That's already very good. Kunshan is no better than Western Capital. It's expensive at the beginning, but it's not easy to sell." Xu Lianjue is very proficient in this area, and has already figured out which stores to buy.

Xu Jiatong handed him the bank note, and said with a smile, "Here is 500 taels, 100 taels will be used for renting a shop and living for them, and the remaining 400 taels will be collected by the second elder brother Lao. In this way, the second elder brother contributes, and I contribute the money, which can be regarded as complementing each other." gone."

"I am ashamed to say that I am in charge of the family affairs, but I dare not move a penny. But I also have some savings, not too much, and I have to do my best.

"It's good if you have the heart, second brother. Now is the time when you want to win people's hearts. Don't move your savings lightly. You should use it where you need it most." Xu Jiatong advised.

Speaking of not letting Xu Lianjue move money, Xu Jiatong didn't mean to pity him or look down on him, but just discuss the matter and let him use the money where it is more needed. This attitude also made Xu Lianjue very comfortable.

The two had their own ideas, and they understood each other's difficulties, and they talked a lot. Xu Lianjue remembered that he had to entertain Fang Rui, so he agreed to talk with her another day.

Xu Jiatong just returned to the painting garden, just now Cao Shi was afraid that Zheng Shi would cause trouble again, so he brought Zheng Shi back to the painting garden to talk.

When Xu Jiatong went back, he saw that the two of them were very easy-going when they were talking, and there was no tension as imagined.In fact, it's not hard to think, Zheng and Cao are both ladies of great families, Zheng and Li have dealt with each other these years, and they have never been close to Cao, now that they have spoken, they are better than before many.

However, Mrs. Zheng had schemes against Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Xu Jiatong at the beginning, which made their already miserable life worse. Mrs. Cao could not not hate her at all, nor could she not be defenseless against her.

Xu Jiatong did the same with Zheng Shi, but for the present plan, they must win over and use Zheng Shi and the others.

"Grandmother, Third Aunt." Xu Jiatong saluted and went straight over. The painting garden is her place, so she doesn't need to be too polite.

Mrs. Zheng was always worried about Xu Xiaoxian, and Mrs. Cao kept talking to her here, making it difficult for her to send someone to inquire.When she saw Xu Jiatong coming, she immediately became excited.

"Jiatong, can your third uncle discuss it with your father?" Mrs. Zheng said awkwardly.

"Third Uncle didn't nod, but my father meant that it was settled. Since many people in my hometown in Kunshan know about this marriage, you should have agreed to it back then, so you should admit it." Xu Jiatong didn't go around with her, and directly road.

The Cao family said from the side: "The third family, if you want me to say that Lian Ping has a strong wife and uncle, and the Fang family is well-off, I'm afraid it's better than our Xu family combined. Get stronger."

"As long as the master agrees, I agree. In fact, I don't hide it. I have always agreed to this marriage. Nowadays, many of the upstarts in the court marry the daughters of merchants. Our Xu family is also born in the royal family. Shang, it is not shameful to be married to the Fang family, but our master does not agree." Zheng said helplessly.

Zheng Shi also compared Xu Lianping with the upstarts of the imperial court, both Xu Jiatong and Cao Shi secretly sneered, but they didn't point it out.

However, Mrs. Cao still said, "If you are a man, you should be responsible. If you want wealth and fame, you can earn it yourself. Tell me the truth, you don't expect your filial ancestor Li Lianping to be your son, do you? "

"This..." Mrs. Zheng had been mentioned by Xu Jiatong before, and she also felt that it was unlikely, but after all, she once had such an idea, "If you can't be a son, you can't do it, but after all, he is from the father's line." The only direct grandson, second brother will not arrange a good way out for him, right?"
