There were two carriages parked in front of Xu's house, and several servants were sitting or standing on the steps, waiting for the people inside to come out.
Xu Chunjun got up earlier than usual. After washing and dressing up, he had breakfast and came to see Xu Lang.
Xu Lang's energy has been better than usual these two days. He had just had breakfast and was sitting in an armchair looking at his family's accounts.
Today she wore a two-color green and grass white pullover with a narrow hem and a long ingot collar. She had a pearl comb in her bun, which made her look unconventional.
It's just that time has been ruthless and fortune has been unlucky. Miss Xu San, who was so talented and beautiful back then, now has fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and there are occasional white hairs among the black hair on her head.
Xu Chunjun lost her mother when she was young. Among the women she saw, the third aunt was the most ladylike.
Being gentle and strong at the same time is truly admirable.
Consciously or unconsciously, she regards Xu Lang as her role model, and coupled with her naturally stable and gentle temperament, when the servants in the family are discussing, they also say that these girls in the younger generation are the top five girls and girls. The third aunt and grandma are the most similar.
It's a pity that he was born as a commoner.
Due to Xu Chunjun's status and the fact that the Wei family was unreasonable, she was afraid that people would think she was fawning over her family members, so she was not very close to Xu Lang on weekdays.
"Chunjun pays your respects to Third Aunt. We will be on our way soon. I wonder if you have anything else to say?" Xu Chunjun asked politely.
"I already told you yesterday what I need to say about going to Beijing to ask for help. Besides, you are a sensible and worry-free person, so there is no need for me to tell you again." Xu Lang put down the account book, took Xu Chunjun's hand and said, "How many more do I have today?" I want to tell you that since ancient times, people have decided to make things happen, and God has to make things happen. No matter whether things succeed or not, you just have to have a clear conscience. This is the first thing."
"I understand what aunt means and will keep it in mind." Xu Chunjun promised.
"The second thing is, although this time you came to Beijing for your second brother's affairs, you should still have some selfishness," Xu Lang continued: "It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, it's not trivial at all. You have to make plans for your future. We are living in this small place, and it is really hard for you juniors. If you can meet someone destined to be in the capital, you should take advantage of it."
Xu Chunjun couldn't help but blush and didn't know what to say.
"You have such an appearance and temperament, and such a big heart and insight. My aunt can't bear to have you bury her. A woman must not be careless when getting married." Xu Lang sighed, and there were some words she didn't say. I'm afraid that the aunt of the Wei family would be difficult for Xu Chunjun. Looking for a serious marriage.
Although she is an aunt, it is difficult for her to overstep her authority, but if there is an opportunity to get married in the capital, the Wei family will not stop it.
After all, Xu Chunjun is her daughter in name. If Xu Chunjun marries well, it will also be beneficial to her.
After so many years as sister-in-law, Xu Lang has already seen through the Wei family. She is really a person who can't afford to be early without any benefit.
"Thank God for being able to save my second brother this time. Chunjun doesn't dare to expect anything else." Xu Chunjun really thought so.
"If this matter can be accomplished, you will be a hero of the Xu family," Xu Lang said: "If the foreign king is not satisfied with his life, I will leave this matter to you, and you can do it with confidence and boldness."
"Thank you, aunt, for trusting me. My niece will try her best." Xu Chunjun still wasn't completely sure in her heart.
"Third thing, take this purse with you. Don't use it unless it is absolutely necessary." Xu Lang said profoundly: "When you are really at the end of your rope and no one can turn to you, you can take it with you to see Chen Qin. For the sake of his face, The boss will also think of ways to help you."
Xu Chunjun took the purse, which was embroidered with orchid grass and rocks. This thing was obviously old, but it was kept very carefully.
Xu Chunjun knew that the Chen Qin her third aunt was talking about was her fiancé back then.
In the beginning, the Chen family and the Xu family were rivals, and Xu Lang and Chen Qin were considered a perfect couple.
It's a pity that the hosta was broken and it was difficult to collect it due to flooding.
It’s just that everyone said that the man once humiliated the third aunt in public. After so long, would he still miss the old relationship?
But since Third Aunt told me, I just need to remember it, since it may not be useful anyway.
"Auntie, you should also take care of yourself at home. You are the backbone of this family and everyone is counting on you." Xu Chunjun was also worried about Xu Lang. It would take several months for him to leave soon.
"Don't worry about it. Everything is easy for me at home. I asked Mama Cheng and her family to accompany you to Beijing. They have all been in the capital and are more familiar with it than most people." Xu Lang said, "Besides, she is old and knows everything about it.
If you have more, you also have someone you can discuss with."
Xu Lang thought about everything he could think of for Xu Chunjun, and then handed her the money.
He also called the people who were following him in, and ordered in front of Xu Chunjun: "When you accompany the fifth girl to Beijing, she should be the leader in everything. Don't rely on her old age and disobey her because she is young and thin-skinned."
Everyone hurriedly said: "What my aunt taught me is that we will not dare to do it."
"Auntie, grandma and grandma are all here." Cheng's mother said, "They must be here to see off the fifth girl."
Sure enough, after a while, people from all the rooms came. Wei did not come in person, but just sent Xu Chunsu over.
Xu Chunmao's wedding was coming soon. Her mother, Sun, did not want to marry her daughter because something happened to her son, but Xu Lang stopped her.
Xu Chunmao's marriage was decided many years ago. What is rare is that her husband's family did not regret the marriage because of the decline of the Xu family.
The whole Yu family is now in Yongzhou, so they sent letters last winter to agree on a wedding date.
Xu Lang felt that this matter could not be delayed to avoid causing complications, so he made an agreement with Sun and his daughter to leave the cabinet next month.
"Second sister, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you when you leave the cabinet." Xu Chunjun said regretfully: "I have rushed out another pair of shoes in the past two days, and I will ask the girl in my room to send them to you later." Xu Chunjun said quietly to Xu Chunmao.
"You've done enough for me, so why bother? Besides, I should be the one to feel sorry for myself, so I have to thank you." Xu Chunmao felt guilty, reasoning that it was her brother who was in trouble, and it was her turn to step in.
Now this heavy burden falls on Xu Chunjun, and she is still given to accompany him.
"It's getting late, five girls, let's get going!" Xu Lang urged.
Because he was in a hurry, Xu Chunjun didn't waste much time, said goodbye to everyone in each room, and went out.
They planned to travel day and night and arrive in Beijing in eight days at the earliest.
What's more, when you ask for help, nothing goes smoothly, and you will inevitably be delayed here and there.
Everyone watched Xu Chunjun's carriage go away before they all went in.
"Fifth girl, it's a long way to go." Cheng's mother put the cushion behind Xu Chunjun and said, "Please be more energetic on the way. When we get to the capital, we don't know how busy it will be!"
"Thank you, Mother Cheng, for reminding me, please take a rest." Mother Cheng is Xu Lang's nanny, and Xu Chunjun respects her very much.
Zi Ling and Lvyan both felt fresh as soon as they went out. They lay on the car window and looked at the scenery on the roadside.
In late spring, the trees are full of shade and the birds are chirping softly. Unfortunately, everyone has something else on their mind, so there is no leisure and relaxation.
