Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 16 Letter from Father
In the evening, Mrs. Li sent Xue Ling, a second-class maid beside her, to pass on the message, saying that Xu Xiaozu had sent a letter, and Mrs. Li asked Xu Jiatong and Xu Jiaqing to go over and talk together.

The cold wind blows from time to time, Xu Jiatong feels uncomfortable for no reason, and it is ridiculous to think about it, Xu Xiaozu has not written a letter to her for more than ten years, it is the Cao family who raised him I never got a single word, and now I finally got the news, and it was still named to her.

In that cold and damp ancestral house, she had imagined countless times that one day Xu Xiaozu would take her out of there and take her to the western capital in a warm and comfortable carriage.

But at this moment, the countless long-awaited expectations brewed in dreams and hopeless despair did not bring her the slightest surprise.
"Miss Xueling, I'm going back to the West Mansion in a few days. Speaking of which, my days in the mansion are numbered. The old lady is getting old, but unfortunately I don't have the chance to be filial. This time Miss Wu will go with her, too. The wife will have to rely on the young lady and Miss Xuexin to take care of it. I can’t do anything else, if the old lady or the two young ladies like something new from Xidu in the future, I will try my best to get it.” Xu Jiatong smiled politely .

Xue Ling couldn't compare to Xue Xin's dominance, and said cautiously: "Serving the old lady is the duty of servants. I can't afford to be wronged by the girl, so the girl is still called the servant girl. The old lady knows that the girl is filial and kind to others, so she will definitely remember the girl's kindness." .” As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at the double embroidery that followed him.

Compared with Ah Xiang, Shuangxiu must have a closer relationship with the Li family and the Zheng family. She treats Shuangxiu better on the surface, to reassure the people in the mansion, and to keep others around her from being too ostentatious.

"It's because of her ability and sweet talk that I value her. This is also thanks to the training of the old lady and the third aunt." Xu Jiatong said modestly.

Xueling smiled, and spoke more casually than before: "If you say that people are different when they are old and young, the old lady's heart is soft now, and she is full of children and grandchildren. The days around the wife are short, so you can send more messages to the old lady in the future. If you don't know your identity, blood is thicker than water, and the old lady is your real grandmother."

"But these years... the old lady never said that she would take me back." Xu Jiatong acted like a weak woman should.

This is indeed a question in her heart. Xu Xiaozu doesn't like her, maybe it's because of her unknown background, maybe it's because her birth caused his wife to die early, maybe he put all his thoughts on it On top of her official career, she already has another wife, but little is known about her situation.But Mrs. Li is different. Not only does Mrs. Li know her situation, but almost all the sufferings are caused by Mrs. Li alone.

Xueling thought for a while, and there was a trace of sympathy in her eyes: "The old lady also has her difficulties. After all, you were raised by Mrs. Tai since childhood. No matter what, Mrs. Tai is still Mrs. Tai. He is your biological father. Even the legitimate son on the genealogy cannot snatch you back from Mrs. Tai."

"It's my bad luck." What Xu Jiatong showed on his face was not complaining, but a kind of emotion, a kind of relief that the matter had finally passed.

Xue Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the two gradually started talking and laughing.These days Xu Jiatong often feels that he should go to a play, the plays performed in this house every day are always much better than those performed by outside theater troupes, but no one came here like this.

If not, wouldn't the originally peaceful and boring days be like a pool of stagnant water until it stinks and dries up without causing any waves.

Taking advantage of Xueling's inattention, Xu Jiatong looked around, but the strange sneer did not appear.Suspicion begets ghosts, maybe it's because she has too many thoughts, and she becomes suspicious.It's as if some people always hear strange sounds, but the people close at hand don't hear anything.

When they arrived at Li Shi's place, apart from Xu Jiaqing, Zheng Shi was also there.She was serving Mrs. Li with tea, when she handed over the teacup, she shook it, revealing an unbearable aggrieved and impatience.But Mrs. Li was silent as if she didn't notice, as if she was used to it, and seemed to enjoy Mrs. Zheng's service.

Xu Jiatong greeted them, and greeted Xu Jiaqing, only to hear Li Shi say: "The second master has sent a letter, in which there are many praises for the fourth girl, and it is said that the Dai family also praised the fourth girl's weaving skills. , and urged me to send the fourth girl off as soon as possible. I called you here today to discuss this matter."

"Didn't we start after the night watch at Foyuan Pavilion?" Xu Jiaqing said heartlessly.

Li smiled and said: "Originally, there were two auspicious days in this month. The nearest one is five days later, and the other is half a month later. I was afraid that I would not be able to prepare in time, so I decided on the latter one. Now that I think about it, it is more important to start as soon as possible. Or change it to five days later, although some things can’t be made in time, the old ones have been kept in the warehouse, and they are all good, just like this, I have wronged you.”

Xu Jiatong glanced at Xu Jiaqing and said with a smile: "Everything in the mansion is good regardless of whether it's old or new. Besides, Foyuan Pavilion is in the mansion. It's only a day and a night. If there is anything missing, you can get it from the mansion in time. Why don't you feel wronged?" .”

"Isn't it just for one night, even if you don't sleep well for one night, it's not a big deal." Xu Jiaqing was not interested in this matter, so it didn't matter.

"Then let's do it like this, the third family, you just need to spend more time making arrangements, and make sure everything goes smoothly." Li ordered.

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Xu Jiaqing with hatred, and said dissatisfiedly: "Old lady, our Wu Niang is a decent girl from the Xu family. You watched her grow up, and there is no difference in her behavior. She has been married all her life. Once, there was a lack of etiquette, and it was reported how much she had been wronged. Even if outsiders didn't know about it, it was a pity in her heart."

These words directly bypassed Xu Jiatong, and only said that using old things would make Xu Jiaqing's face dull.Xu Jiatong was displeased, thought about it, and smiled.

"Although the distance between Xidu and Kunshan is not far, seeing each other again this time is not as good as seeing each other every day. The third aunt loves the fifth sister, and she is reluctant to let her go. The fifth sister is still young, so there is no need to rush to the west at this time. Well, it's better to stay for another year or so. First, she can be separated from Third Aunt later, and second, she can prepare meticulously so that she will never be wronged in the slightest." Xu Jiatong said.

"You..." Mrs. Zheng couldn't tell what was wrong when she heard the words roughly, but she couldn't help but glared at her when she thought about it carefully, but she said the words first, and she couldn't talk back.

Once Xu Jiaqing fails to go to the Western Capital this time, there will inevitably be a change in the interval of a year and a half.After all, Xu Xiaozu didn't take the initiative to let Xu Jiaqing accompany him, and no matter Xu Xiaozu, Lin or their children met Xu Jiaqing the number of times, let alone their feelings.

Xu Jiatong ignored her, and asked Xu Jiaqing: "Fifth sister, there are no outsiders here. You say that if you go here, you will stay in the Western Capital. From now on, you can only see the old lady and your parents for a few days a year. Are you okay?" willing?"

A lady next to Xu Jiaqing was squeezed out in Xidu, which made her feel uncomfortable. She shook her head and boldly said: "I don't want to go to Xidu. Xidu, if I go too, how lonely the old lady, father and mother would be here. Wouldn’t it be better for me to stay in Kunshan?”

"Shut up and talk nonsense, it's for your own good." Zheng scolded in a low voice, looking at Xu Jiatong even more sour, "I was just impatient, old lady, since Wu Niang herself I have no objection, so let's do this. It's getting late, Wu Niang, follow me back and let the old lady rest."

"Yes." Xu Jiaqing was scared as soon as she said the words, and now she felt much better, she crouched and glanced at Xu Jiatong, and followed Zheng Shi.

Mrs. Zheng turned her head and glared at Xu Jiatong, wanting her to resign voluntarily, but hurried back to teach Xu Jiaqing a lesson, so she had to leave.

"Your third aunt thinks that you have wronged your fifth sister by doing that, but do you feel wronged?" Mrs. Li looked at the cold tea and said calmly.

　Happy weekend, please collect and recommend tickets, cute
