Chapter 21
Xu Jiatong has long understood this truth of being constantly looked down upon by people all these years, not to mention that Xu Jiatong is by no means the jewel in Xu Xiaozu's heart.

Picking her back was only because she had the title of the first wife.Perhaps Xu Xiaozu would be surprised by the fact that she was still alive after being tortured by Xu Xiaoxian and Zheng for more than ten years, so how could she expect anything from this so-called father?

In the past 16 years, the nobles in the palace don't even remember that there is such a little her living in a certain corner of the world. How could she exist in their hearts? The marriage either failed or failed. It's just arbitrarily arranged.

Internal and external troubles, she can only rely on herself, even if there are others, they are not her closest people.

"It's not easy to be favored by the nobles in the palace, and I have never been loved by my father since I was a child, let alone gossip. I must go through untold hardships to occupy a place in the palace." Xu Jiatong's eyes were cold.

Xu Jiatong was not worried that the Cao family would favor Xu Xiaozu, the Lin family and their children, so at this time, he naturally wanted to tell all the bad things that could be expected.If something happens in the future, the Cao family can also be prepared.

She continued: "Among them, I have to worry about my father and the family members. If the matter is successful, they will take it for granted, greedy and want anything from me. If the matter fails, they will not hesitate to regard me as an abandoned child." I don't necessarily have to wait until then, as long as there are ups and downs in the middle, they will be like this. What kind of family they can marry into, and how the people in my husband's family will treat me in the future all depend on my natal family. I'm not sure I can marry into a good husband's family who can help me."

"Neither the fate nor the fate of parents can be relied on. A woman must control her own destiny and rely on herself. The reason why I made you a first-rank female official is not entirely out of selfishness, but for you, this is the only one that is most likely to be obtained." The road to success. Only when you have a status that cannot be ignored, will you be able to get a good marriage or the attention of your husband's family." Cao said.

Cao's scheming continued: "It's resistance, not just for the road of becoming a female officer, but for your honor, disgrace, peace and joy in this life. As long as you live well, it doesn't matter whether it's help or resistance. It's not enough to use your marriage as a bargaining chip to realize my wish."

"But after arriving in the Western Capital, I'm afraid I can't be the one to make the decision. Maybe I was randomly arranged for a marriage before I became a female officer." Xu Jiatong smiled embarrassingly.

She never thinks about her marriage, because she knows that she is not qualified yet, so she only regards marriage as a help.

"Becoming a female official is not only for me, but also for you to break free from the shadow of the Xu family's filth in the future. If your marriage is not going well, you have to hurry up. When you become a first-class Shanggong, He Li is just a master." It's a matter of talking. By then, you will not only fulfill my wish, but also live a better life, wouldn't you kill two birds with one stone?" Cao said with a smile.

Before he knew it, Xu Jiatong's eyes had already firmly landed on Cao Shi.At this time, although Cao's eyes were as sharp as before, they were faintly surrounded by gentleness.

Not only had Cao's ambitions been high, but she also naturally dreamed about her marriage like other daughters' families, and wanted to get to know and befriend a beloved man who would hold hands and grow old together.

But these have not been realized. The former must have fallen short in the past, and the reasons must be complicated, but they are no longer known.

The first half of the latter is sweet and happy, lost in the east, harvested in mulberry, the beauty at that time can make up for her lost ambition.But in the second half, people are strong but fate is not strong. He lost his son and husband, and his health was also broken. In the end, he lost her power in the Xu clan.

Mrs. Cao treated her very harshly. She had doubts and wanted to question her. In Mrs. Cao's heart, was she a weapon, a tool, or a sharp weapon to realize Cao's plan?

At this moment, she gradually understood from Cao Shi's warm eyes that she might be a tool or a weapon, and she entrusted Cao Shi's obsession, but she was also Cao Shi's beloved granddaughter.

She wants to realize Cao's dream and make her own dream come true.Satisfying Mrs. Cao and making her life better, it is possible to have both, and it is even the only way to realize her dream.And these Caos have also thought of it, so they have been implementing this distant plan with an unknown ending on her bit by bit in the past ten years.

Xu Jiatong's heart is overwhelmed and it is difficult to calm down at this moment. The elders will always place such expectations on them.Cao's expectation of her is only a little higher than others, but he can't erase his love for her for more than ten years.

"Grandmother, I will have a good life, and I will let you have a good life." Xu Jiatong put his head on Cao's lap, closed his eyes gently, and there was a trace of warm tears in the corner of his eyes.

Cao raised her hand and gently touched her soft hair, she sighed and said: "But you have to remember, even if you marry a good man, you must know the seriousness of everything, and you must not be too addicted. It is like walking on thin ice in the deep house, you must protect yourself at all times, only if you are alive, can you have other hope."

"I've lived my whole life for myself, so can't I give up my order for others?" Xu Jiatong opened his eyes, sat up, his eyes were bright.

"Jiatong, that's a luxury, we can't even do it." Cao said full of vicissitudes.

Xu Jiatong smiled and said nothing. Although she planned to follow Cao Shi's wishes, she didn't want to spend her life like her.

That was too tiring, and when she could, she wanted to do something for a person and a family without any scruples, even if it was only once, even if she gave everything.Only in this way, it is worthwhile to walk in this world.

After talking about Mrs. Li's arrangement, Mrs. Cao didn't raise her eyelids, which was obviously expected.When Xu Jiatong said these words, Cao Shi lightly stroked the back of her hand twice, feeling the slight tightening of Cao Shi's hand strength, she smiled knowingly.The miss between them has become a tacit understanding.

Say goodbye to Cao's for a few words, if only we can meet before going to Xidu.If you can't, don't force it, just find a way to say a few simple words.The tacit understanding developed after more than ten years of getting along has long been a tacit understanding.

After leaving the private house, Xu Jiatong let the coachman take a detour and went straight to Jinxiufang.Mrs. Li was half worried about her relationship with Jinxiufang in the past, and the other half was also greedy to get involved, so she asked the driver not to stop her from going to Jinxiufang early in the morning. Now she is naturally going smoothly.

Bi Shui came out to greet Xu Jiatong, and two younger maids brought the coachman to the back to drink tea with the horses.

Xu Jiatong cleaned his hands, and followed the clear water into the back room where the goods were ordered.Items that have been woven and dyed are stored here, waiting to be boxed and shipped.

"The young lady of the Fang family won't arrive until half an hour in the evening. Let's see, Miss Fang. This was ordered by Mrs. Fang and the young lady of the Fang family last month." Spread out gently.

Among the few pieces of material, the light-colored poplin weaving thread used as the inner lining has a fine warp and weft, and the whole is soft and dense.Some of the other horses are delicate and charming, just like the lotus-pink silk, which seems to drip water when pinched.There are a few horses that are very dignified, which are just right for big makeup on formal occasions.
