Chapter 88
When Zhao Qiyun was leaving, Xu Lianjue happened to come over.Zhao Qiyun's expression was as usual, and he saluted him like an ordinary servant.Xu Lianjue suddenly felt familiar, but couldn't remember anything exactly, so he quickened his pace.

"Why did brother come here? I should be the one to visit." Xu Jiatong was very surprised.

In terms of etiquette, Xu Jiatong was supposed to meet Xu Lianjue in these two days, but she and Xu Lianjue had only met once, so it would be embarrassing not to be able to speak.Furthermore, it is also taboo for Madam Zhen to tell Lin Shi about her actions, making Lin Shi be wary from the very beginning.

Xu Lianjue didn't really admit it, and said enthusiastically: "I think you are packing your luggage, so you must be at your wits end. It's better for me to come. When I saw you in the past, I was still a baby. All these years, my father only came back when he worshiped the ancestors. I I didn’t have the blessing to attend it, so I didn’t come back. In a blink of an eye, you have grown into a big girl, I’m just ashamed, I haven’t done anything for you for so many years.”

When Xu Jiatong's biological mother, Mrs. Du, was still alive, due to many years of childlessness, Mrs. Lin wanted to enter the door again. He wanted to prevent Mrs. Li from taking the lead, and did not want to put himself in a precarious situation. Ji's aunt is also Xu Lianjue's biological mother.

"Brother, you don't have to say that. Everyone has their own destiny. Maybe my luck is in the future." Xu Jiatong suddenly felt speechless, and asked with a smile, "What does brother do on weekdays?"

Xu Lianjue was called around by Lin Shi and Xu Jialan all day long in the Xu residence. Seeing her amiable, she became more talkative: "Father walks around in the court and the palace, so he is too busy to take care of general affairs. I have nothing to do, and I don't study for the imperial examinations. I just help the family take care of the shop and the farm. I heard that the second younger sister is learning brocade weaving in her spare time, and she even became a teacher in Jinxiufang, which is amazing, and I am ashamed of myself."

His words sounded very comfortable, Xu Jiatong also let go a little, and said with a smile: "It's just a woman's gadget, and I can also exchange it for some food, it's just food and clothing, it's not as good as my brother's livelihood for the whole family."

"Let's stop complimenting each other." Xu Lianjue was thin-skinned, a little embarrassed, "But enough to eat and eat? Is it because the people here treat my sister badly?"

"Grandma is recuperating in a private house, and I accompany her around. After a long time, this side has become negligent. I don't want to cause trouble for them, so that's all I can do. Please don't laugh at me, brother. I'm also timid, I can't save face, and I don't want to beg .” Xu Jiatong didn’t point it out, but just said a few words cryptically.

Xu Lianjue nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and said without thinking: "Just now, there is a servant who walked out from my sister, but is it from this mansion?"

Guessing that it was Zhao Qiyun he was talking about, Xu Jiatong quickly realized: "It's the daughter of the Ma family, the daughter of Master Ma Zhuo, she is also going to enter the palace to be elected, and she is on the same road, and we will set off with us in one day .She sent someone over to give some instructions, saying that all the commonly used things are prepared.”

"It turned out to be a boy in a vest. No wonder I think it looks familiar. I remember seeing him at some official family in Western Capital." Xu Lianjue immediately had no doubts about him.

Xu Jiatong felt that something was wrong, so he smiled to cover it up.Zhao Qiyun is from Dai Yuanguan, and Dai Yuanguan is a merchant, so it is not impossible to send Zhao Qiyun to the official's house.But thinking about what Wang Yansheng said before, it seems that this is not the case again. Could it be that Dai Yuanguan really has another identity?
"We'll be leaving tomorrow, and Aunt Zhen will be in the same car with you. She must have a lot to say to you. I got a lot of advice from her since I was a child, and it's also beneficial. It's just... forget it, I won't bother you, Pack it up and go to bed early." Xu Lianjue nodded, said goodbye and left.

A daughter-in-law is raised all the way by a nanny, and she is not her own nanny, so at least on the surface, she has to act as if she obeys her.Once you lower your head, it will be difficult to raise your head in the future.

It is also possible that Aunt Zhen had accepted Lin's entrustment and wanted her to promise something first.There is no room for maneuver in the carriage, if she refuses to agree, she will be scolded, and if she refuses to agree, there may be more troubles, which will make the already bad relationship even worse.

When Bi Shui came back from Xu Jiaqing's place, he saw a sugar baby with an aggrieved face, picked it up and rubbed it against Xu Jiatong on its back, and said with a smile, "Sugar baby, are you going to be stewed by the girl again? The girl is soft-hearted and can't bear you."

Sugar Baby was different from the past, forcibly getting down from Bi Shui's embrace, standing on the table with eyes higher than the top and only looking at people with his nostrils.

"It was backed up by someone. For some reason, it fell into Master Dai's eyes. Don't mess with it. I have something to tell you. Starting tomorrow, Mother Zhen wants to ride with me. I don't want to. You only need to... "Xu Jiatong motioned her to come over and explained.

On the second day of departure, Xu Jinfeng and Mrs. Lu came to see him off, and the three talked for a while.After a few polite words, Mrs. Zheng went to tell her daughter.Seeing Xu Jinfeng and Lu's presence, Mrs. Li didn't go forward, too lazy to make fun of herself.

Xu Xiaoxian also came, and said with a cold expression: "Si Niang is an elder sister, and I will take care of your fifth younger sister in the future. When your eldest cousin's marriage is settled, you can tell your father to ask him to pick your eldest cousin over to meet you." In the world, it is best to find an errand."

"Third Uncle's words, I will definitely bring them." Xu Jiatong smiled, and it was necessary to pass on the message, but it was not up to her to agree or not.

Mother Zhen stepped forward and said: "It's not too early, it's time to leave, after all, it's not like we won't see each other for a lifetime, and there will be time to talk in the future. The journey is bumpy, and the servants see that Bishui and Shuangxiu have never traveled far, why not let them The servants are serving them personally."

"I really lack someone who has traveled a long distance by my side. Thank you for your kindness. It's just that Miss Ma and Miss Wang who are traveling with us have already prepared a large carriage and invited me to go along the way. It is not good to be with outsiders. It's easy, but Miss Ma's kindness is hard to resist, she has a straightforward temper, and her father is...you can understand." Xu Jiatong smiled and pointed to the carriage in the distance, and the driver sitting in front waved at them The whip signaled.

Aunt Zhen said awkwardly: "Young lady and Miss Ma have only met once, and we have known each other for a short time. Isn't it embarrassing to accompany you all the way like this, so let's decline."

Mrs. Zheng was dissatisfied before that Nanny Zhen looked down on their third wife, but this time she seized the opportunity and said sarcastically: "A nanny rides with a girl and doesn't look at her identity. The fourth mother is waiting for election in the palace. Let others know, why don't you laugh at our Xu family for not knowing the rules."

"Third Madam, this servant is also for the good of Fourth Young Lady." Aunt Zhen said displeasedly.

"Slaves are slaves. It's your turn to take care of the girls. When you said that we are the fifth girl, you are righteous and stern, as if you know the etiquette. At this time, the mother doesn't know how to treat others with respect. Let yourself know some etiquette, don't let outsiders laugh " Zheng said with a stick in his arms.
