Chapter 24
Xu Jiatong smiled faintly, a little embarrassed, and a little evasive: "I'm ashamed to say it, I haven't been with him since I was a child, and I've been unfamiliar with him for a long time, and when we meet, it's just to say hello and a gift. If I hadn't heard from the people in his yard this time, I wouldn't have known he had such a big problem."

"Brother Xu won't tell people about his difficulties casually. He is so strong." After Fang Xinniang finished speaking, she lowered her head and twirled the silk with her little hands again, ashamed of a little girl.

I'm afraid it's not that she is so strong, but that she loves to show off, and she is still waiting to use her appearance to deceive the hearts of beautiful girls and take advantage of rich and noble families.

Xu Jiatong sneered in his heart, but there was no trace on his face: "Please ask Sister Fang to keep this matter a secret for me. I don't compare Sister Fang's relationship with him. If I let him know that I hastily intervened in his affairs, I'm afraid he will feel that I am not in love with him." I am busy. It is God's will, if I hadn't met Sister Fang by chance today, I would have been in trouble all the time, worrying about what to do with this jade pendant."

"Fourth sister, don't worry, I will send someone to deliver it to him in the past few days, and I said that I bought it when I saw something familiar at the pawn shop." Fang Xinniang laughed.

"Thank you so much. Come, take a look at these two pieces of material. They are best used to make jackets, and the rest of the material can also be used as shoe uppers." Xu Jiatong introduced them one by one, Fang Xinniang was not as good as she was just now.

When Mrs. Fang came in, she saw that her daughter looked at ease, and she no longer held a gun when talking to her.Xu Shi's mood improved a lot, perhaps in order to show her husband how much she cared for her stepdaughter, she ordered all the pieces of material that Xu Jiatong introduced, and more than half of them had to be cut by the masters of Jinxiu Workshop.

When Mrs. Duan came back, she heard from the shopkeeper that the Fang family had already made an order, and that the deposit was not [-]% of the usual amount, but [-]%. She was somewhat surprised.

When the crowd dispersed, Mrs. Duan said to Xu Jiatong: "Ms. Fang is not married to a bright matchmaker. You must have noticed it a long time ago as you are astute. She is now despised by the ladies in Kunshan. You are not on your feet and you are so close to her. Aren't you afraid of other people's gossip?"

"They can talk if they want to, and there is no difference between a sentence or two." Xu Jiatong shook his head slightly, but he really didn't care.

"I remember that Fang's family has their own weaving workshop. Although it's not as good as our Jinxiu workshop, the whole family used to make things in their own weaving workshop. Mrs. Fang and Miss Fang seem to have never visited Jinxiu workshop, so I don't know if I have." Do you remember correctly?" Xu Jiatong asked suddenly.

"Isn't Miss Fang clamoring to come here, in order to make lifelong affairs more grand and complete, and occasionally break the rules, the Fang family must be accommodating." Duan said.

Mrs. Duan also asked Mrs. Fang this question before, but Mrs. Fang only laughed and said that it was Fang Xinniang who made a fuss, so she didn't delve into it.

Originally, even if there are many skilled craftsmen in the palace, don't they have to buy new things outside every year?It is not uncommon for a local rich man like the Fang family to marry his daughter and give up his weaving workshop and switch to Jinxiu workshop.

"Yeah, it's a lifelong event after all." Xu Jiatong smiled and stopped talking about it.

Fang Xinniang seems simple, her words, deeds, looks and gestures are very similar to a daughter in a boudoir who is dissatisfied with her marriage and has a heart for herself but dare not express her feelings to her parents.

But she overlooked one thing, Xu Jiatong is different from those ladies who grew up in a mansion and have not been exposed to wind and rain.She grew up in the market since she was a child, and she has seen a lot of unsatisfactory things in the world.Even among the tenants near the private houses, I don’t know how many daughters have married into golden silk cages and tiger wolf dens.

Those daughters' tears, those daughters' smiles, all kinds of gestures, all kinds of thoughts, have already been engraved into her eyes and heart.

So she knew what to do in the face of a resisting marriage, what to do was true, and what to do was fake.Xu Shi knew that she would have the same experience as them, so she remembered it with extra care.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++
Although the Fang family is not a famous family, they are also very careful in disciplining their children.Even Fang Rui, who is rampant in Kunshan, is quite particular about his face.

Fang Xinniang is a girl raised in a deep boudoir, the first time she saw her, she showed her heart, without any shyness when talking about her family's ugliness and her own secrets, and her difference with Xu Lianping was so obvious.

Xu Jiatong couldn't hold back a laugh. Today, she is not so much waiting for Fang Xinniang to enter the set, but Fang Xinniang, who has already cast the net, is collecting the net little by little.

Although she grew up in a private house, even the Xu family didn't know much about her.But there is one thing - she is studying art in Jinxiufang, although everyone thinks that she is difficult to be arrogant and deliberately ignores it, but this matter is by no means a secret, and it is not difficult for interested people to interact with her.

Fang Xinniang's marriage must be true, and her friendship with Xu Lianping is quite deep, even if it is not a son-daughter relationship.So, why did Fang Xinniang come here and make such a big detour?
Did Xu Lianping and Fang Xinniang join forces to set her up, or did Fang Xinniang want to use her to have a further relationship with Xu Lianping to get rid of the marriage arranged by the Fang family?Xu Jiatong thought about it secretly, but she was lost in thought, and Duan called her several times before she came back to her senses.

"Jiatong? Master Dai sent someone to invite you over. You must seize the opportunity. When you arrive in Xidu, both you and Jinxiufang will be taken care of by Master Dai." Seeing her absent-minded look, Duan quickly told her road.

Xu Jiatong was startled, and an inexplicable unease crossed his mind: "Master Dai has stayed in Kunshan for so long, does he have other important things to do?"

Duan glanced at her, and said in a stern tone: "You've always been smart, why did you forget that the less you know about some things, the better. As long as Master Dai is willing to take care of you and Jinxiufang, you must not ask too much about other things."

"Jiatong understands." Xu Jiatong was also anxious and flustered, and was awakened by Duan Shi, and immediately followed her obediently, not even taking a second look at the scenery in the garden along the way.

It was Zhao Qiyun who opened the door. Xu Jiatong heard from the masters in the workshop that this person was called a chess basket by Dai Yuanguan and his other follower Pang Tai.Presumably this person is either addicted to chess, or a person who is very good at making plans.

"I've met Master Dai." Xu Jiatong greeted him neither humble nor overbearing.

Dai Yuanguan was still sitting on the reclining chair and flipping through books, but this time there was less mist in the room, and his face was very clear.

His facial features are deep and sharp, like chiseled by knives and axes, his face is thin but has a resolute outline, and the corners of his eyes are slightly raised.It seems that if you don't pay attention, you will be in high spirits.If it weren't for the years of suffering from illness, his complexion turned yellow, and the corners of his eyes and forehead had already shown lines that people of this age should not have. His appearance would probably be unmatched by anyone in Kunshan.

Xu Jiatong has never been out of Kunshan, so he can only comment like this.Since she and Dai Yuanguan met last time, she felt like a dream. She couldn't even believe it. On such a day, Mrs. Duan called her to Jinxiufang, so she wandered with such a The legends in the court, the field, the rivers and lakes, and the business world spoke face-to-face, and all this happened too fast and too suddenly.

"Are you going to stand like this?" Dai Yuanguan put down the book in his hand, and when he looked at her, he could see that he was restrained, but his eyes were still cold.

Just for a moment, Xu Jiatong felt a strange feeling of chills sweeping through his whole body.She seems to have had this feeling before, no, it's not like, it must have been.

But she can't remember where it was, no, she must...it was when she was taken back to the ancestral house...she was in the carriage with Bishui and Sugar Baby, and she looked at the bustling street scene excitedly and a steady stream of people.

She raised her head, and her eyes accidentally crashed into the half-covered window, and the person sitting in the shadow behind the window gave her the same look... It was almost the same feeling, no, it was exactly the same feeling.
