Xu Ziying grabbed Old Mrs. Xu's wrist hard.

"Sell all your and Xu Liuyin's jewelry and buy a house immediately!"

Mrs. Xu didn't want to.

"We are already very embarrassed now. If we sell jewelry to support our family, if people find out, we will be scolded in the spine. I have lived a lifetime and cannot be treated like this when I am about to die."

Xu Ziying clenched his back molars instantly, and the squeaking sound proved that he had really exerted great force.

Mrs. Xu quickly lowered her gaze.

But is this a problem that can be avoided by not looking at it?

"Didn't you think that you would be stabbed in the back when you sold your property? You have been so extravagant in enjoyment these years. I never said a word. Now something happened at home and I need you to come out with something, but you are like this shirk?"

At this point, Mrs. Hua felt that if she refused again, he would take action. Just as she was about to reluctantly agree, Xu Liuyin suddenly interrupted.

"There is no need for us to sell off our jewelry. The scholars have already entered the court and become officials."

"Anyway, this house was given to officials by the emperor. It is normal for officials to live there. The emperor will definitely not explain anything in particular. As for us, as family members of officials, it is more normal for us to live here together!"

The more she spoke, the more she felt that her words made sense. Mrs. Xu also fully agreed in order not to take out the jewelry.

Xu Shixue, who had been silent, slowly spoke.

"I don't have a high official position. Even if the emperor is considerate and leaves this place to us, with my salary, I can't maintain the running of the house. If grandma, aunt, you insist on living here, we have to spend money to buy some shops and buildings first. revenue.”

In Xu Liuyin's opinion, official salaries are very high. Over the years, she asked Hua Rong for money to buy various things, always using the name of Xu Ziying's salary. She gave it every time. After careful calculation, one There are quite a few of them every month.

So Xu Liuyin subconsciously thought that Xu Shixue was lying.

Xu Shixue was helpless after being refuted.

"Auntie, how much salary I have has been recorded by the imperial court. It is impossible to falsify it. Furthermore, you can also ask dad to verify what the monthly salary is for an official of my rank."

Xu Liuyin immediately asked for confirmation, but was shocked by the answer.

"How come there are so few..."

Xu Ziying rolled his eyes angrily.

"Isn't this less? This monthly salary is more than an ordinary family can earn in a year."

"How extravagantly do you usually live? I was still thinking at the time why our family would be so poor after Hua Rong and Li left her dowry, and our relationship would be squandered by you!"

Once people become poor, they will become careless, like now.

Things that Xu Ziying didn't care about before were revealed one by one now. Mrs. Xu and Xu Liuyin were not good-tempered people. They were provoked and started quarreling with him.

In the chaos, Xu Shixue lowered his sense of presence and stood there watching the show indifferently.

As for this farce, Xu Zhiyan and the others don't know. Perhaps they don't care about the Xu family's situation at all. They are now discussing where to go before the final result is announced.

Xu Zhiyan strongly requested to go to Yutian County.

"In this season, all the osmanthus flowers are in bloom in Yutian County. I like osmanthus the most. Not only can I fall asleep with the fragrance of osmanthus, I can also drink osmanthus stuffed rice and eat osmanthus cakes."

Before she finished listing the things, she took a sip of saliva.

The little greedy cat made everyone laugh.

Huarong made the decision.

"Sure, let's go to Yutian County."

The group set out the next day. Yutian County is close to Yangzhou Prefecture. Xu Zhiyan lay on the window sill and watched the scenery outside change from noisy to calm. There seemed to be a cool autumn breeze in her heart, which was extremely beautiful.

"Comfortable!"

“You’re already comfortable enough to start playing before you even arrive at your destination?”

The sudden sound not only did not frighten Xu Zhiyan, but even made her excited. She leaned half of her body out of the window and looked around. After confirming that it was Li Wenjin, she shouted excitedly.

"Brother Wen Jin——"

Li Wenjin was so frightened by her aggressive behavior that she pinched the horse's belly with her legs and quickly approached her.

Then one hand pinched her armpit, and when one forcefully lifted the person out, the other hand reached out to support her waist in time, and easily placed the person in front of her.

"You're just fooling around, and you're not afraid of getting hurt."

She nestled comfortably in his arms.

"You were just fooling around by lifting me out of the window."

Despite her words, she didn't mean to be afraid at all. She even thought the horse was walking too slowly, so she pulled Li Wenjin's wrist and asked him to let the horse run.

He had ridden with her before. As the saying goes, "Once a child is born, he is familiar again." He skillfully locked her in his arms, lowered his upper body, waved his riding whip, and the horse spread its hooves and started running. The wind blew across his cheeks, and the slight sting was completely unbearable. Despite her excitement, she still kept shouting.

It was rare to see her so wanton, and Li Wenjin was also happy. When she saw a path ahead, she rushed in with others.

This road is relatively narrow, and walking on it is not enough to make people fearful. However, Xu Zhiyan was riding a horse and moving forward quickly. She was so frightened that she did not dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing Li Wenjin and the horse.

She didn't feel relieved until the two of them, one horse and two others, came out of the path.

"This is so exciting, my heart almost jumped out of my throat!"

The fear is followed by unparalleled excitement.

Li Wenjin saw her face turned red and slowly controlled the horse to stop.

"Why are you so happy? It turns out that my daughter likes this. From now on, I will take you out for horse racing when I have time. When you are tired from running, I will find a tea stall on the roadside and have a cup of tea with you."

This kind of description is simply a common picture of people in the world of martial arts. Xu Zhiyan just accepted this and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, then do you think we will encounter a sudden fight?"

Li Wenjin was amused by her serious expression.

She slapped him dissatisfiedly.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just think Nannan is as cute as ever, but I won't let you see the scene Nannan just mentioned. It's very dangerous."

Xu Zhiyan pouted.

"Okay, let's wait here for a while until mother and the others catch up."

The carriage was not moving very fast. Xu Zhiyan stayed there for about a quarter of an hour before she arrived. The first thing Hua Rong did when he saw her was to poke her forehead.

"You, you, have been a tiger since childhood, you are not afraid of anything!"

Xu Zhiyan's eyebrows curved and she smiled to please.

"It's not that I'm not afraid, but with you by my side, I don't need to worry too much. Mother, I know that besides Osmanthus, Yutian County is most famous for its gambling stones. Let's buy one and gamble on it, right?" "

She has average luck, but her mother is amazing!
