Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 5
Xu Jiatong naturally understands this truth, anyway, their situation is not much worse, she continued: "Besides, although starving to death is a small matter, and injustice is a major matter, this is talking about sacrificing one's life for righteousness. If it is for some Unworthy people and things damage the body and skin bestowed by the biological parents, isn’t it not filial piety, isn’t it an even greater disobedience?”

"Si Niang, isn't it also unfilial for you to disobey the elders?" Xu Xiaoxian sneered.

"Third Uncle was joking. He just met him. How could I have the opportunity to disobey Third Uncle? If Third Uncle meant that I would no longer be allowed to sell the silks and satins that I wove to others, as long as my grandmother and I could eat three meals a day. Food and clothing, I am naturally not the kind of person who refuses to enjoy life and care about reputation." Xu Jiatong tugged his sleeves uncomfortably, Xu Xiaoxian's eyes made her uncomfortable.

Xu Xiaoxian didn't expect that she would be ruthless, and his complexion became gloomy for a while.If he didn't respond, it would confirm the fact that he treated the young and the old harshly.If he complied, the anger in his heart would be hard to appease.

Mrs. Cao suddenly laughed, looked at Xu Xiaoxian, then looked at Xu Jiatong and said: "Fourth girl is very bored on weekdays, it is rare for you to come here, so she said a few more words, which is a bit presumptuous. Fourth girl, for your third uncle Make an apology."

"Yes." Xu Jiatong agreed, and even congratulated Xu Xiaoxian, "I was the one who spoke presumptuously and offended Third Uncle just now. It was my fault, so I will apologize to Third Uncle."

"Third son, you are the owner of the ancestral house now, so you must have the measure you should have. This time, since the second son sent a letter to let the fourth girl go back, you don't have to worry too much. It is natural for the fourth girl to reunite with his father and daughter." I will be grateful for your care over the years, and the second child will only miss your kindness. I think it will take ten days for the fourth girl to set off." Mrs. Cao said with a final word.

"I'm afraid I'm in a hurry. Si Niang has neglected her upbringing all these years, and she has to find someone to teach her manners, so as not to go to the Western Capital and offend the nobleman." Xu Xiaoxian obstructed.

"Grandmother, Third Uncle, Fifth Sister and I are very close. I don't know when we will see each other again when we return to the Western Capital this time. I have a heartfelt request. This time, I would like to invite Fifth Sister to live in the West Mansion together. In the future, three Uncle misses Fifth Sister, so I don’t know if Third Uncle will be willing to bring her back again?” Xu Jiatong said softly, this also indirectly fulfilled Xu Xiaoxian’s wish to send Xu Jiaqing to the Western Capital to seek a future.

Xu Xiaoxian thought about it quickly, and finally there was a smile on his face: "You sisters are very affectionate, very good, very good, you will live with Wu Niang for these two days, and choose a day to go to the Western Capital together."

Mrs. Cao nodded, taking advantage of the situation and said: "This is a family, and you don't need to ask someone to teach you how to behave the fourth mother. I'm afraid you forgot that I was the eighth-rank Chengyi in the Phoenix Palace back then. No one here can compare with me. can teach her more."

"Yes, leave everything to Madam Tai." Xu Xiaoxian only hesitated for a moment. In Kunshan, Madam Cao undoubtedly knows the etiquette of the Western Capital best. If she can give Xu Jiaqing a lesson or two, it will be like a tiger with wings added.But if she taught someone who didn't change his teaching, she would lose more than gain if she ruined his good daughter.

He said a few more words in a pretentious manner, then took his leave and went back to prepare, leaving two servants to help them pack their things, and agreed to return to the ancestral house the next day.

"In this life, if you advance, you must retreat. It is impossible to take advantage of it. The third child has suffered such a loss, and your father has suffered too much in the first half of his life. Earn it back. If you want me to say, this account can’t be calculated like this, it depends on good luck.” Mrs. Cao said with emotion.

Xu Jiatong said nonchalantly: "I don't care what advances or retreats, as long as we don't live this kind of life anymore."

"An Sheng's life is not something we can just think about, and all this has just begun. From now on, you have to cheer up." Mrs. Cao seems to have seen the bloody storm in the future, and she is no longer bright Her eyes looked at the distant place, where she had lost her past, and there was something that made her life bleak.

In the early morning of the second day, Xu Jiazu's house sent a carriage to pick up Xu Jiatong. It was originally agreed to take Mrs. Cao back with her, but Xu Xiaoxian had some scruples and did not fulfill the promise.

At this time, the day was dim, the carriage sent by the Xu family was not conspicuous, and the servants who followed were also silent, not attracting attention at all.However, a few people who were in charge of sweeping along the street noticed and murmured.

The gray and black walls along the road were gradually replaced by brand new, clean walls. Some people had stone lions at their doorsteps, and there were also some snack stalls that had just been set up.

Apart from selling brocade products these years, Xu Jiatong has hardly been here, because she needs brocade and embroidery to earn food for her and her grandmother, and she doesn't have much free time, and she has to learn some things that may not be used in her life .

There was a window on the second floor of the teahouse not far away, and there was a person sitting by the window. He couldn't see his face clearly under the shadow, but he felt very leisurely, as if he was alone in the world.When the Xu family's carriage passed by, the man opened the window a little wider, looked down with cold eyes, and as soon as he met those pearl-like eyes, the man closed the window with a "huh" .

Xu Jiatong felt an inexplicable coolness sweep over his head, and suddenly raised his head, only to see a vague shadow.She didn't know the guests in these teahouses. This person looked at her differently from others, but he couldn't explain why.
This man's eyes were like the one who observed her in the dark after she got rid of Lu Yurou that day, as if he could see through all her disguises, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Bishui, did you see that person?" Xu Jiatong asked.

"Who is the girl talking about?" Bi Shui tilted her head to follow her gaze, and shook her head.

Xu Jiatong thought about it for a while, and felt that he was overthinking: "I guess it's because my eyes are dazzled."

"Girl, let's go back. I'm afraid that something will happen to Mrs. Tai if she stays here." Bi Shui asked worriedly, she followed Xu Jiatong, and Mrs. Cao was left with an old man whose hands were shaking while holding a teacup and a doorman boy.

"There is nothing we can do to worry about it right now. We can only look for opportunities to help with food. Bishui, we have to stand firm before we can bring grandma here." Xu Jiatong opened the window curtain by a small corner.

Something was crawling around in the package on the side, and slowly a fluffy, snow-white thing came out, looking like a little rabbit.But its ears are shorter than ordinary rabbits, its eyes are much bigger, and its fur is slightly longer. It is dark red like a gemstone, and its head is bulging like a plump bun.

At this moment it is tilting its head, looking at Xu Jiatong with its eyes wide open, showing a little white eyeball, the white eyelids look like wide double eyelids, the outline of the eyes is light pink, its rabbit eyes don't seem to move I can speak.

"Sugar Baby, are you hungry again?" Xu Jiatong stroked its smooth and slippery fur. The four-month-old rabbit is just at its prime.

Sugar Baby cooed and cooed like a pigeon.Bi Shui's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile on his face: "Little rabbit, come to Bi Shui, there are delicious preserved fruits."

Seeing the dog-legged rabbit in front of him jumping over immediately, Xu Jiatong wished he could grab a handful of its fur.Its parents are a pair of old rabbits raised by Mrs. Cao for nearly 20 years. It is rare for ordinary rabbits to live for ten years, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rabbit spirits.

Before she was able to get Mrs. Cao out of the yard that was windy in winter and rainy in summer, the only people around her who were sincere to her were Bi Shui and this silly rabbit.
