Chapter 74

Xu Jiatong coughed lightly and said, "They're all sisters who grew up in one place in Kunshan, so don't hurt your friendship, and don't say a few words. Fifth sister, you are too impatient, and you said everything Outsiders can't figure out all the hooks and loops in a sentence of the nobles. If you can't figure it out, they can't figure it out either, so why bother to argue about it. "

"Fourth sister, tell me, do I deserve to be born?" Xu Jiaqing was furious, forcing Xu Jiatong to express her opinion.

"I'm talking angry again. I'll go to Mrs. Zu's place later, and I'll take you there too, so she can tell you." Xu Jiatong said vaguely.

If she told the truth at this time, it would definitely cause an uproar.But she didn't want to do this, killing one thousand enemies and hurting herself eight hundred.Because of the embarrassing status of the Li family, Mr. Xu had a lot of support for the Cao family back then. In the impression of most people in Kunshan, Xu Xiaozu was born of the Cao family.When she slapped Sanfang in the face, she was also slapping Xu Xiaozu in the face, not to mention adding more difficulties for the future, and she would also follow suit.

As for Xu Jiaqing in front of her, she still felt that since Xu Jiaqing's conscience was not lost, she still had to give him some leeway.What's more, she believed that with Xu Jiaqing's temperament and Xu Xiaoxian's consistent face-saving performance, Xu Jiaqing really didn't know the truth.

Xu Jiaqing was so wronged, but when she was about to speak, she heard a soft but steady female voice from the other side: "The fifth girl is still young, and many things are not clear. I'd better listen to the fourth girl and ask the elders in the clan. .”

"Who are you? You are not from our house, so what right do you have to speak." Xu Jiaqing retorted.

Aunt Zhen walked over behind Xu Lianjue who had not spoken all this time, glanced at Xu Jiaqing, and said contemptuously: "The dragon begets the dragon and the phoenix, that is indeed true. Our master is from Mrs. Cao, according to the genealogy It's clearly written. It doesn't matter if the fifth girl is young and doesn't know the depth, it's written in black and white, and it takes a while to read it."

Xu Jiaqing was confused and looked at Xu Jiaqing at a loss.

Xu Jiaqing stepped forward and said with a polite smile: "Just now I heard from Ma's sister that my father and mother sent someone to pick me up. I don't know if this is my elder brother, but this nanny is my sister's wet nurse?"

Mother Zhen smiled back and said: "Miss is right, this is your concubine brother Xu Lianjue, this servant is your elder sister's wet nurse, she is now serving in the second wife's room, and she also served your biological mother for a while. The master and madam specifically told the servants and the second son that they must take you back to the Western Capital in a safe and sound manner, second son, do you think so?"

"Fourth sister, when we were leaving, my mother was counting the days, and said that the ceremony of guarding the pavilion would be almost completed, and let us come and pick you up. You stayed by your grandmother's side all these years to fulfill your filial piety, and you were exhausted. I am really ashamed that my brother was not able to do so. "Xu Lianjue said very restrainedly.

"This is the duty I should do. It's not a toil, but a blessing." Xu Jiatong greeted, and then looked at Aunt Zhen, "Auntie has worked hard all the way, Bishui, show the seat to the second brother and Aunt Zhen , I will use this banquet to welcome the two of you."

"Second son, there is no need. Today is a gathering of female relatives. He is not suitable for a man. He can stay in the place and rest. There is no need to arrange seats for slaves. It is not proper for slaves to sit with other ladies. Slaves look There is no mature and prudent person to take care of the girl, so I entrust an old man to serve the girl, but ask Bishui to arrange another seat for the fifth girl. There is only one proprietor, so it is not suitable to sit together." Zhen Zhen said like a cannonball .

Xu Lianjue didn't refute, and said obediently: "Yes, I'll be abrupt if I stay here, I'll go talk to third uncle, and see fourth and fifth younger sisters later."

"Shuangxiu, you send the Second Young Master there." Xu Jiatong didn't stay and asked someone to send him there.

Xu Lianjue is a concubine, but also Xu Xiaozu's only biological son, so Xu Xiaozu treats him far more than ordinary people treat a concubine, which is also human nature.According to common sense, as long as the biological mother of such a concubine does not mess around, the mistress will adopt the concubine into her own name when it is obvious that she can no longer have a biological son, and then she will gather and coerce her, and in the future It's good to have someone to rely on.

But Lin didn't. I heard from Li that it wasn't that she didn't want to at all, but that she had to completely convince Xu Lianjue before she would make such a decision.It was also because of this that she would intervene in Xu Lianjue's major and minor matters, and a few servants who were close to her often sent messages to Xu Lianjue, in the name of mentioning important things, but in fact they were lessons.

Xu Lianjue's biological mother, Aunt Tao, was an honest and sentimental person who was frail and sickly, and she also persuaded her son to listen to his aunt's teachings.As time goes by, Xu Lianjue has become submissive at least on the surface, regardless of his true temperament.

Xu Jiatong didn't want to keep him, but Xu Jiaqing felt that it was embarrassing, and she was pushed to a side seat again, with a very bad face.She sat down angrily, and said in a bad tone: "Speaking of it, I'm just a slave girl. The ones from the Western Capital are different, and the spectrum is huge."

"So you are not from the same way." Zhao Xiu laughed softly.

On the contrary, Lu Yurou murmured unwillingly: "Didn't it mean that his father didn't recognize her at all? Why did he send such a decent servant over here?"

Aunt Zhen is about 30 years old, with soft features and a calm demeanor. At first glance, she is much taller than the first-class servants of ordinary people here.With such a servant by his side, it is self-evident that his status is precious, so he naturally has to be jealous.

"Looking at the miraculous look of that nanny, we should also bring the nanny along." Wang Rou whispered.

Ma Qinge nodded approvingly, and quickly made a face at her: "Yes, it can also overwhelm Jiatong. Look at the way she was admonishing their young master just now. The slave is bullying the master, hmph."

"Dear sisters, Jiatong would like to thank everyone for practicing it for me. Drink this cup as a respect. You can go to the pavilion over there if you are full. I don't have anything new to entertain you. There are some latest embroidered items from Jinxiu Workshop, all of which are borrowed. If you like it, please ask my servant girl Ah Xiang to write it down. .” Xu Jiatong laughed.

"Really? Fourth girl is still generous."

The people below were just stunned for a moment, and immediately burst into smiles, even Zhao Xiu, who was born in a wealthy family, was no exception.Only Lu Yurou was extremely careful, she was also an apprentice of Jinxiufang, she didn't know when she would have such face.And she knows those things are very good without looking at them, but she doesn't own any of them, and her family is reluctant to buy them for her.

If it was said that these things were given away, Xu Jiatong didn't have such financial resources, nor did he have such a thick skin to ask for cheap.The things in Jinxiufang are hard to come by, the usual wedding dress has to be ordered three years in advance, and the ordinary seasonal clothes have to be ordered half a year in advance, it is really hard to find.It is an honor to get it earlier than those who are not here, and there will be no money.

Seeing everyone talking and laughing and having fun, Aunt Zhen said: "Girls know what they like, even if they don't know each other well, they can get along well. Madam said you must be a delicate person, and she was right. But you After all, it is rare to experience such occasions, and the arrangement this time is not very appropriate."
