After driving back to Xi Mansion, Yun Qiao had dinner at Xi Lanting's place.
There is pigeon soup for dinner.
Xi Lanting filled a bowl for her: "Put in red dates and wolfberry, your favorite drink."
Yun Qiao thanked him.
After dinner, Yun Qiao returned to the fourth room.
Everyone in the fourth room didn't know something happened to her again, they just thought it was Xi Lanting who was sick again.
"How is he?" Du Xueru asked.
She no longer kept saying "your seventh uncle", but she didn't know how to address Xi Lanting in front of Yun Qiao, so she had to keep it simple.
"It's ready." Yun Qiao said.
Du Xueru: "Yun Qiao, why don't you tell Xiao Qi and get married as soon as possible. His health is so bad..."
Wouldn't it be a shame if he died halfway if we dragged him on?
Yun Qiao smiled: "Mom, it's hard for me to say this."
"That's right, you can't be in a hurry." Du Xueru said.
Yun Qiao changed the subject and asked Du Xueru: "Everyone in the family is talking about Wen Luo. What outcome did you and your father choose?"
Do you want money or an official position?
Du Xueru pursed her lips and smiled, feeling a little bit more confident: "Okay, why do you bring this up now? We have to wait until the end of the year."
Fourth Master Xi chose an official position.
He was originally from the Ministry of Finance, only the finance department of the Yancheng City Government, and the people above him were all close associates of the military governor.
The deputy chief is from the Wen family.
Compared with this concubine, the governor is closer to the Wen family. Fourth Master Xi has no hope of promotion in the yamen, but he is capable of practical work.
Fourth Master Xi has mediocre talents and has no merits and demerits. He is by no means a virtuous person, but he is not a fool either.
After being transferred to Peiping, the president there needs the support of the Xi family's army and the help of the forces in Yancheng, so he will not treat Fourth Master Xi badly.
Fourth Master Xi is very hopeful about the future.
However, when things came to a close, he felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't leave his homeland.
"...Don't talk about this. Yun Qiao, how many days will it take for you to start school, right?" Fourth Master Xi interrupted them.
Du Xueru was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Yun Qiao was going to study in the newly opened medical department of Yancheng University.
This is also Xi Lanting's handiwork.
Xi Lanting built a special academy for her.
"Yes." Yun Qiao said.
Fourth Master Xi said: "I will hire a driver for you, and I will pay the money personally."
After hearing this, Xi Wenlan felt bitter and unspeakable.
She also has a driver and a car, but they are not given by Fourth Master Xi, but specially provided by the old lady. The driver's salary is paid by the old lady's yard.
Now, Dad wants to assign Yun Qiao a special driver.
After hearing this, Yun Qiao was silent for a moment, and then said: "Dad, thank you for your kindness. I am very grateful. You still remember this matter, thank you."
She said thank you twice in a row.
Yun Qiao doesn't talk much on weekdays, but she knows how to be grateful. When others treat her well, even if it's just a small favor, she will remember it and be very grateful.
"It's just that I'm used to driving by myself, and it's very convenient to go back and forth. A car doesn't require any strength, it's just a dexterous job. I'm more careful and patient, so I'm definitely safer than the driver," Yun Qiao said.
Fourth Master Xi listened and nodded: "That's fine. If you need anything, just tell dad."
"Okay." Yun Qiao said bluntly.
Xi Wenlan couldn't bear it anymore and clenched her chopsticks tightly with her fingers. The ebony chopsticks were heavy and her fingers turned white and she almost crushed the heavy chopsticks.
Early the next morning, Xi Wenlan left Xi Mansion early on the pretext of going out to meet friends.
There is a small dyeing workshop in Yancheng with a low building. Even if the sun is shining brightly, it cannot dispel the musty smell in the yard.
Xi Wenlan covered her mouth and nose.
The other party asked her to sit down in the back room, with his own boys guarding the front and back. Then he asked Xi Wenlan angrily: "What are you going to do?"
He spoke Mandarin with a Yancheng accent.
When Xi Wenlan spoke, it was in Japanese. She had a very smooth and natural Kansai accent, the accent of a Japanese aristocrat: "I want to see the carrier pigeon."
