In the evening, Xue Qinghe was called to the main hall for dinner.

She greeted Xue Chengdong in a polite manner. When she raised her head, she found that she and her father were alone at the table.

What about everyone else?

Questions rose in Xue Qinghe's throat.

But she found that Xue Chengdong's hand had been bandaged, as if he had smashed something in anger... Xue Qinghe swallowed the question back.

Without her aunt and sister, Xue Qinghe still had a depressing meal.

It wasn't until Xue Chengdong put down her chopsticks that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can go to the tea house on the outskirts of the city tomorrow. Don't you love reading the Classic of Tea? It's better to leave it to you than to your sister. Someone will also send Linghu Pavilion's account book to you tomorrow.

."

After Xue Chengdong said a few words, he stood up and left without any unnecessary warmth.

But thinking about what he just said, "Don't you love reading the Tea Classic on weekdays?", Xue Qinghe felt that her father still paid attention to her.

Xue Qinghe got up and went back to the yard.

Qiu Xin said happily in her ear: "How did the eldest girl take over the property back then? How will the second girl take over today! The Lingxi Pavilion was opened in the East Market and it was very busy. If the second girl managed it well, there would be many princes and princes.

When dealings with nobles, do you need to be afraid of your aunt in the future?"

Xue Qinghe also felt that the pressure in his heart was less.

Maybe the eldest brother will see what she is capable of?

"The master's face looks so ugly today. The eldest girl actually dared to persuade the madam to go back to her parents' house. It's an advantage for us."

"Going back to your parents' home?" Xue Qinghe thought to herself, no wonder she didn't see anyone. This was not like her aunt's style. She thought her aunt would come to the door.

"Yes, I'm back to my parents' house. The second girl should work hard so that she can seize the power of the housekeeper in her own hands. When they come back in the future, they will no longer have a place to show off their power." Qiu Xin encouraged her.

Xue Qinghe said helplessly: "How can there be any reason for an unmarried daughter to manage the house?"

In this matter, Qiu Xin seems to be more ambitious than her.

Qiu Xin said firmly: "Why not? The girl is still too short-sighted. The maid of the Lu family who serves Miss Lu has some personal connections with me. I once heard her talk about how the Lu family, in order to train their eldest daughter's ability to take charge of the middle court,

Leave such a big family to Miss Lu to take care of."

When Xue Qinghe heard this, he felt mixed in his heart.

She was also afraid that her eldest brother would blame her for causing Mrs. Xue to leave when he came back.

I am also afraid that I will not be able to shoulder the big responsibility, but at the same time I can’t help but want to show off to my elder brother and father.

Qiu Xin is also thinking at this moment... She is thinking, what is the eldest girl doing at this time? Is she crying secretly? Or losing her temper?

Xue Qingyin was sitting in front of the table at this time, with dishes being served one after another in front of her.

After all, the Xu family is just a merchant, and they don't care about "too much" or "enjoyment." They have a Huaiyang cook at home, and now they have used their strength to cook several special dishes, and finally presented them to Xue Qingyin

in front of a person.

The whole Xu family was sitting together.

However, only Mrs. Xue and Xue Qingyin were "honored guests".

Especially Xue Qingyin.

Who told her to have a "new" grandfather now?

The three words "Zhao Guogong" were enough to make them tremble with fear.

"Qingyin, try this first." Xu Qi eagerly served Xue Qingyin some vegetables.

Mrs. Gui was busy and asked: "How?"

"It's acceptable." Xue Qingyin said.

These two words immediately made other people of the same generation in the Xu family secretly curl their lips.

She is hard to please!

Completely different from the oppressive atmosphere of the Xue family, Xue Qingyin was served by others and tasted eight dishes briefly. Finally, she ate a plate of cheese cherries. Her mouth was filled with the sweet and sour cherries and the aroma of cheese.

Then everyone gathered around her and came down from the banquet, sending her back to the courtyard to rest.

Xue Qingyin and Mrs. Xue moved into Xinyi Pavilion.

Mrs. Xue lived in Xinyi Pavilion before she got married. At that time, the Xu family was still in Huainan Road. After moving to the capital, they also built the original house in the capital exactly as it was.

After Mrs. Xue walked in, she felt familiar and strange at the same time.

She touched Xue Qingyin's head and asked her to rest.

"I always slept on that couch when I was a child. Your grandmother would come in quietly and cover me with a blanket." Mrs. Xue pointed to the couch inside the door.

Wait for Xue Qingyin to rest.

She then turned around to meet Xu Qi and said: "After all, I got married, and now that I come back, I won't live in vain. I will pay eighty taels of silver to my family every month, and it will only be used as food expenses. In addition, we ourselves

It’s just cooking.”

Xu Qi smiled and said: "Look, what are you talking about? You are going back to your own home, why should you pay?"

Mrs. Xue just smiled and said nothing.

She also realized that after leaving Xue's house, there were not many places she could go. It seemed that no place belonged to her.

Fortunately... with my daughter by my side, everything is home.

This time Xue Qingyin turned over on the couch, but did not fall asleep.

She had no choice but to get up, lie down by the window and look out... Mrs. Xue was not here, and the courtyard was extremely quiet.

I must have been slowly "reminiscing" with the Xu family.

Just when I was thinking about what I should do today, I might as well go to the silk and satin shop to have a look... Then a servant of the Xu family came to the door cautiously and knocked on the door: "Cousin, there is someone outside the door, saying it is some kind of suburban village.

Yes, I came here specifically to see you."

Xue Qingyin stood up immediately, went over and opened the door: "Lead the way."

Did she find the Xu family so quickly?

He is still a smart man and has no intention of waiting in the Xue family.

Xue Qingyin stepped out.

But I saw a carriage parked outside Xu's house.

Looking next to the carriage, he saw a familiar face.

She smiled in surprise: "Why is it you?"

The young general also smiled and said: "We can be regarded as coming from Zhuangzi."

Xue Qingyin nodded: "That's not bad." After saying that, she couldn't help but look at the hanging curtain of the carriage.

Du Hongxue stood outside, it was self-evident who was inside.

Xue Qingyin waved her hand, signaling the Xu family servants to step back.

The servants of the Xu family looked at it twice and didn't dare to leave.

"What are you afraid of? We are all members of our own family." Xue Qingyin said to the servants of the Xu family, "I am going to take care of Zhuangzi's affairs here. How can you follow me?"

Only then did the Xu family servants retreat.

And Xue Qingyin stepped forward in two steps and lifted the curtain unceremoniously.

The person sitting inside, with a teacup in his hand, was none other than King Xuan.

"Meet His Highness King Xuan." Xue Qingyin bowed perfunctorily.

King Xuan raised his eyes: "Are they all from his own family?"

Xue Qingyin whispered: "Fool him."

As she said that, she grabbed the body of the carriage and rushed up.

"Why is His Highness here?" Xue Qingyin wondered: "I just guessed that it was His Highness, but I didn't dare to think about it."

After all, she couldn't figure out why King Xuan came today.

"Liu Xiuyuan doesn't want it anymore?" King Xuan asked calmly.

Xue Qingyin suddenly thought about it: "Yes, of course I want it! I am also counting on this gentleman to write the menu for me as soon as possible."

Du Hongxue poked his head and said, "Let's go see that Liu Xiuyuan now."

"So you are picking me up to see him? But there is no need to bother His Highness. Just ask General Du to pick me up." Xue Qingyin said very considerately.

Du Hongxue said repeatedly: "I can't be a general." His position in the army is general manager, so others often call him "General Manager Du", which is different from the chamberlain general manager in the palace. The position of "general manager" in the army is very important.

important.

As Du Hongxue spoke, he couldn't help but look at King Xuan's face.

He thought to himself, why did Miss Xue suddenly become so charming today?

"Did you have a dispute with Shilang Xue about the Duke of Zhao's palace?" King Xuan said suddenly.

Xue Qingyin's attention was immediately diverted, and she no longer wondered why he appeared in person.

Xue Qingyin did not respond, but smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Xuan knows so much."

King Xuan once said: "If you pay a little attention, you will know."

Xue Qingyin was still smiling: "Thank you, Your Highness, for caring about me so much."

What she said was actually just a scene talk.

It's like saying to the leader, thank you for caring about me.

But it was quite different in the ears of King Xuan.

King Xuan curled his fingertips and pressed them tighter against the tea cup. He asked, "Aren't you sad?"

"Why are you sad? Now I am living a happy life by using the name of the Duke." When Xue Qingyin said this, her eyebrows were lively.

Prince Xuan couldn't help but stare at her features a few more times, and then said calmly: "Aren't you afraid that borrowing too much fame will make the Duke's palace unhappy?"

Xue Qingyin said: "How can I borrow just this one name? If Your Highness is willing to lend me another one and use it interchangeably, that would be fine."

Du Hongxue's eyes widened when he heard it outside.

This argument... is the first time I've heard it! It's fresh and bold!

"Then just take it and use it." Xuan Wanghun said nonchalantly.

This time it was Xue Qingyin's turn to be stunned.
Chapter completed!
