Chapter 253
Chang Xi didn't shy away from those who listened to gossip, so he answered immediately.

"What should be rewarded should be punished. When I was in the palace that day, the emperor had already made the decision. Thanks to the blessing of the son, we brothers and sisters have the opportunity to study in the Imperial College. As for the four pianos you gave, please take them back."

Cao Jingxiu was a little dumb, but everyone around heard it, the son of the world gave the little girl's brother and sister a Guqin, what does this mean, to cover them?

These aristocrats bullied Chang Xi at the very beginning, and they didn't take their efforts into consideration other than seeing her as a girl.

After all, helping people can get a big deal, which is mutual benefit, and no one owes anyone.

They all thought that the Chang family was out of greed for profit, so they actively sacrificed their lives to help the eldest son return to Beijing.

Looking at it now, it doesn't seem so simple.

The little ginseng spirits turned their minds quickly one by one, and the eyes they looked at Chang's family again changed in a different way.

Today, Mr. Min did not have any accidents, and continued to come over to provoke him. It seemed that if he didn't say a word about the brothers and sisters of the Chang family, he would lose a lot of fun.

In the past, when they met, other people were just watching the fun. Today, besides Mr. Zhang, a few people came out as peacemakers and started to speak for the brothers and sisters of the Chang family.

Chang Xi was stunned, and had a new understanding of the speed at which their faces changed.

Now that there are people on both sides trying to persuade them to fight, they won't really quarrel, and it's impossible to start a fight. Today's scene is just not painful.

Each of them said a few words in a strange manner, and Chang An secretly hated it.

When I got home, my parents were not there, and I didn't know where I went.

Chang Xi went to the kitchen to cook, Chang Le helped, Chang Ping was chopping firewood, Chang An disappeared in a flash.

When parents came home happily, they could smell the aroma of rice before they entered the door. After the empty bamboo baskets were put away, Wen Furong couldn't wait to enter the kitchen.

Seeing that her children are so sensible, Wen Furong felt very happy.

"Leave me alone, you are tired from studying all day."

Chang Xi didn't leave the kitchen, but just liberated the younger brother, mother and daughter, chatting while cooking.

Chang Xi saw her mother with a smile on her face: "How is business?"

The corner of Wen Furong's mouth couldn't be suppressed: "Very good!"

"A lot of travelers coming and going, smelling the aroma of our home's snacks, stopped to buy them, and asked us how many days we can keep them, and wanted to buy more and take them on the road."

"That's a good relationship. The business we do has been established. When the academy is on holiday, we can do more with our brothers and sisters to help sell."

Wen Furong smiled and shook her head: "No, the academy will give you a holiday, so you can relax."

"Today is not just this happy event, there are better things."

"Oh? What is it?" Chang Xi's curiosity was aroused.

"The Cao family just came to Beijing, and we met Steward Cao outside the city to buy."

"Seeing us, Steward Cao, was also very excited. We exchanged our addresses and asked about our business and plans."

"From Steward Cao's point of view, the Cao family wants to stay in the capital for a long time. Their family is originally a businessman, and their property does not move in Liaocheng, so they can live a prosperous life."

"But the Cao family doesn't seem to want to live a comfortable life. I don't know what Mr. Cao is messing around with. Their family is too busy to keep their feet on the ground."

"I heard that the royal decree invited them to the palace for a banquet."

"Oh! This is a great joy!" Chang Xi recalled the time when she met the Empress Dowager, she said that she could recognize Cao's family as godly relatives, and they would continue to communicate in the future.

Looking at it, the empress dowager really has this intention.

Chang Xi was amazed by her generosity, and she felt that she should respect the empress dowager from the bottom of her heart.

Wen Furong didn't know what it was like to recognize a godfather. Chang Xi pretended to be a story to tell her mother. The two chatted in full swing, but they didn't realize that the three boys were gone outside the kitchen.

When Wen Furong heard about the godmother, she pulled Chang Xi excitedly.

"It's terrible, the Cao family is going to be prosperous!"

"Hey! I heard from Butler Cao today that Mrs. Cao is pregnant. Now, no matter whether she has a son or a daughter in her belly, she is definitely a favorite."

"You don't know, Mrs. Cao's own son, how old is Xiao Cao Jingxiu, and now the family who wants to marry has already crossed the threshold."

"The Cao family is really hot. Mrs. Cao is pregnant at this time, I'm afraid she will have her fingertips for marriage. Thinking about it from another angle, it may be that the Cao family's fortune is coming."

Chang Xi knew that the ancients valued marriage, so he had his own opinion on the situation of the Cao family.

She hurriedly told her mother: "You must not talk about our family's affairs outside, so as not to be misunderstood. Except for the elder brother's marriage, the rest of us are not in a hurry."

Wen Furong gave her a reassuring look: "Can I still not understand?"

"When you grow up, get along with yourselves, my mother and your father will not interfere with you."

"Look at that Qin family, it was Wang Dahong who made the decision at the beginning and insisted on getting in, but the result is good, she is a careless master."

"My mother won't worry about it for you, unless you open your mouth and need your parents' help, so don't worry about it."

Chang Xi was a little surprised, she knew that her father was more talkative, but she didn't think her mother was so flexible.

Thinking of the Qin family in the past, Chang Xi felt that her mother might have been inspired by Qin's affairs.

"Thank you mother, you are the best."

As soon as the food was ready to serve, the three brothers came back with wicked smiles on their faces.

Wen Furong didn't pay attention, she just put the chopsticks aside and asked them to wash their hands and eat.

Chang Xi only felt that their smiles were cunning, and didn't know what tricks they were doing secretly, but she refrained from asking when it was time to eat.

After dinner, her mother took her to do needlework, but she forgot to ask.

It wasn't until the next day at school that Chang Xi finally understood what had happened when Mr. Min saw a dead mouse on his desk and screamed horribly.

"Who is it? Put these pickles on my table?"

Mr. Min was furious, his attendants were also little ancestors at home, except for a few flattering words, no one dared to take the mouse and clean the table for him.

Mr. Min just stood there in embarrassment, trembling as he watched the dead mouse.

Chang An couldn't hold back, he laughed, he had moved, and the others laughed too, the laughter was very piercing, Mr. Min knew that they did it, but he had no proof.

"you!"

Chang An stood up and walked in front of Mr. Min: "What are you?"

"What me? Can you talk! Straighten your tongue first, okay?"

He scolded Mr. Min, picked up the mouse in front of his face, and wagged his tail: "Look at its fat body, do you think its meat is delicious?"

As soon as he was led to think this way, Mr. Min, who was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, couldn't help but start to groan: "Shut up!"

Chang An and Chang Le turned to Mr. Min with a shameful face: "Are you a man, a dead mouse is afraid of becoming like this?"
