The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 542 If You Marry Me, You Will Marry (2)
Xiao Mingyu smiled and asked, "Who is the master of your Xue family? I want to meet."

The steward hesitated for a moment, "Miss Xiao, wait a moment, and I will ask for instructions first."

Butler Xiao said in Xiao Mingyu's ear, "Young lady, is she really going to agree to go on the road with Xue's family? It's not good."

Xiao Mingyu smiled faintly, "It's okay, just treat it as a good relationship."

The steward returned quickly, "Miss Xiao Qi, please, my old lady wants to see Miss Xiao Qi after hearing about it."

"Please lead the way."

Xiao Mingyu came to Xue's family motorcade, the middlemost carriage, the curtain of the door was lifted by a girl, and an old Feng Jun and a lady in common clothes came down.Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue were both looking at Xiao Mingyu, and Xiao Mingyu was also looking at each other calmly.

Xiao Mingyu is a junior, so he is the first to greet.The old lady Xue smiled slightly, "Miss Xiao is being polite, I didn't expect Miss Xiao to be so capable."

Xiao Mingyu said a few words politely, "My old man is unwell, and the elders are also a little unwell. I dare not let the elders work hard. As a junior, since I can contribute, it is my duty to do so. For specific decisions, I need to consult my family. Father."

"It's natural." Mrs. Xue briefly introduced the situation of the Xue family, and then called a few granddaughters to greet her.

Mrs. Xue was a little reserved, or she didn't want to talk to Xiao Mingyu.Xiao Mingyu didn't care either.

Xiao Mingyu was not polite to Xue's family, but only asked: "How much is the food, how many people are there, how many are the men, are there any sick people who need to be taken care of?"

Seeing that Xiao Mingyu asked so impolitely, Mrs. Xue's face flashed with anger.On the contrary, Old Madam Xue has a very good temper. She knew Xiao Mingyu's reason for asking this question, and she was worried that the Xue family would become a burden to the Xiao family, so Old Madam Xue also told the truth.There is enough silver, everyone is healthy, there is no sickness to take care of, there are not enough males, and there are not enough guards.Because I was hit by refugees several times on the road, not only lost materials, but also lost personnel.The most difficult thing is that there is not enough food, because today's situation is that even if you have money, you can't buy food.If Master Zhizhou doesn't open the city gate, Xue's family can't enter the city, so how can they buy food.

Xiao Mingyu asked again, "Have you searched the surrounding farms, maybe there is food."

The old lady Xue also told the truth that she sent people to the countryside to look for grain yesterday, but those farmers couldn't survive anymore, and there was no surplus grain to sell to Xue's family.Mrs. Xue's grandson hasn't been seen for a while, and she hasn't returned from hunting for food.

Xiao Mingyu asked directly again, "How long can the surplus food last?"

Mrs. Xue was a little embarrassed, Mrs. Xue was annoyed, and said dissatisfiedly, "If Miss Xiao Qi dislikes our Xue family, it is a burden, so to put it bluntly, why bother to beat around the bush like this."

Xiao Mingyu raised his eyebrows, and looked at the other party with a half-smile.

The old lady Xue immediately scolded, "Shut up. Miss Xiao is thoughtful and prudent in her actions. You just don't understand Miss Xiao's hard work. How can you say such rude words? Go on."

Mrs. Xue lost face and became more and more dissatisfied with Xiao Mingyu, she glared fiercely, and got into the carriage unwillingly.

The old lady Xue smiled awkwardly, "Ms. Xiao laughed, my daughter-in-law has never suffered much since she was a child, so she doesn't know the hardships of life."

"It's okay, when I'm hungry, I think the eldest lady will have some experience." Xiao Mingyu said with a smile, choking the old lady Xue.Mrs. Xue in the carriage heard this and gritted her teeth. She really is a dead girl who has no rules.Sure enough, the Xiao family lacks a tutor, and it's really not good or bad to walk with such a family.

When Xiao Mingzhen came back from inquiring about the news, he didn't see Xiao Mingyu, so he came over after hearing the servant's report of the situation.Xiao Mingyu introduced to old lady Xue with a smile, "This is my third cousin, and he is also the appointed heir of the head of our Xiao family."

Upon hearing that the other party was the heir of the Patriarch, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but take a few extra glances.Xiao Mingyu introduced the situation of the Xue family to Xiao Mingzhen again.

Xiao Mingzhen frowned, not understanding why Xiao Mingyu had to entangle with Xue's family for so long.If you want him to say that the Xue family is a burden, there is no need to pay attention to it.As the Xue family said, Xiao Mingzhen went to inquire about the news but returned in vain.If Master Zhizhou does not open the gates of the city, no one can enter the city and cannot buy daily necessities.Since the Xue family was about to run out of food, wouldn't the Xiao family increase their burden by taking the Xue family along with them.

Xiao Mingyu said to the old lady Xue politely, "Old lady, I will discuss it with my third brother first, and I will reply to the old lady later."

"Okay, then work hard for Miss Xiao and Mr. Xiao."

"It's not hard." Xiao Mingyu smiled and had a good attitude.

After walking away, Xiao Mingzhen asked directly, "Sister Mingyu, tell me what's going on. You have also seen the situation of the Xue family. If we go all the way with them, we will suffer."

Xiao Mingyu smiled, "Third Brother, don't be impatient. I naturally have a reason for doing this. Han Ba, come and explain it to Third Young Master."

Han Ba ​​was confused, "What do you want your subordinates to say?"

The corners of Xiao Mingyu's mouth twitched, "Okay, let me clear up your doubts. Have you heard of the Xue family in Yunzhou?"

Xiao Mingzhen frowned, he had a vague impression, but he couldn't grasp the point.

Xiao Mingyu didn't wait for Xiao Mingzhen to ask, and continued, "There is Master Xue in the capital. Mr. Xue was released. Not only that, he was also a third-rank official student. Now he is the young teacher of the prince and the official secretary. This Mr. Xue is from Yunzhou. As far as I know, there are many people with the surname Xue in Yunzhou. , but there is only one real family with the surname Xue, and that is Mr. Xue’s family. Looking at that old lady Xue, what did the third brother think? It’s not like an ordinary old lady, right? The third brother hasn’t seen it yet. The eldest wife of the Xue family. As far as I know, Master Xue's eldest daughter-in-law is from a high family, and seems to be the daughter of a princess."

Xiao Mingzhen was startled, "Sister Mingyu, how dare you be sure that this Xue family is the relative of that Lord Xue in the capital. If it is really the relative of that Lord Xue, why didn't the Xue family reveal their identity? If the local prefect knows that it is the Xue family Passing by, there is no reason not to entertain."

"It should have been like this." Xiao Mingyu said, "But the third brother obviously didn't inquire about the situation in the court. The local magistrate, let's not say whether he has seen the greeting card from Xue's family. As far as I know, this magistrate My lord, it’s not that Lord Xue’s disciple. Not only not, but there seems to be some discord. It’s a fluke that Lord Zhizhou didn’t send someone out to embarrass Xue’s family.”

Xiao Mingzhen frowned, "Sister Mingyu, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just why you know so much news? Where did you hear it from?"
