78, add makeup
After leaving Chunhui Garden, Xu Hui trotted all the way and indeed caught up with Xu Shu. Xu Shu was lowering her head and walking slowly while stopping step by step. Xu Hui called her, "Xiao Jiu!"
Xu Shu turned around, stunned for a moment before whispering, "Father hasn't called me like this for a long time! Except for the eldest sister... I haven't heard the word Xiaojiu for a long time..."
Xu Shuxingjiu was born in September 9th, so she was called Xiaojiu since she was a child. Later, she gradually called her name when she grew up.
After a moment of emotion, Xu Shu looked up again but smiled, "My father must have good news to tell her daughter when she chased her?"
Xu Hui said, "It's Ru Jie'er's business. I know you care about your fourth sister, so I'll tell you specifically! Mr. Zhang is not young anymore and is going to take the spring exam again after the New Year. I plan to marry Ru Jie'er before the New Year!"
Xu Shu calculated her fingers and exclaimed, "It's only been a few months, aren't it too hurrying?"
Xu Hui nodded, "It's better to hurry up a little, just to hurry up a little. The longer the time delays, the easier it is to create troubles!"
Thinking of An and Xu Ru’s marriage at least was disastrous, Xu Shu nodded in agreement, “In this way, I wish my fourth sister would get married tomorrow, but when I think that she would never see her again after getting married, I couldn’t bear to let her get married so quickly!”
Xu Hui comforted, "The Zhang family is close to you. If you miss her, just go see her!"
"Really? Can my daughter really go to see the fourth sister?" Xu Shu couldn't help but jump, but after a moment, the glory in her eyes dimmed again. "My mother said that her daughter should abide by the rules. Those who don't go out of the door will be the lady of a noble family!"
"Don't listen to your mother! She is angry as her father. What she says has nothing to do with you!"
Even though Li was so partial, Xu Hui was still unwilling to destroy her image in Xu Shu's heart, not for Li, but for Xu Shu who knew the truth would be sad.
After hearing Xu Hui's words, Xu Shu felt better. She put her waist on her hips and said, "My mother has worked hard every day to do housework and teach us four brothers. Why does her father still make her angry? She is really not considerate at all!"
Xu Hui begged for mercy repeatedly, "Okay, okay, my fault, my fault! I will go back and I will apologize to your mother, okay!"
Xu Shu nodded with satisfaction and asked after a moment, "Does my father still have free time now?"
Xu Hui said, "As long as my Xiaojiu has something to do, my father will always be idle!"
Xu Shu smiled and said, "Father loves Xiaojiu the most! If the father is really free, go and help Xiaojiu pick up some things. My daughter wants to choose some makeup for the fourth sister!"
Although the Xu family has not had much contact with the Rongguo Duke's Mansion in recent years, the Rongguo Duke's Mansion still sends gifts to Xu Shu every year according to etiquette. The various rewards Xu Shu receives every year and the thank-you gifts from each family are collected in her name.
Taxue brought the account book to Xu Hui, and Xu Hui was shocked after seeing it. These things were enough to marry all the daughters of the Xu family.
Xu Shu didn't read the account book, and thought with her fingers, "I remember the Qi family gave her a bucket of sea pearls two years ago. The pearls were warm and the temperament of the fourth sister. She gave her that one to her, but she was a jade Ruyi, and she used it for her to press the bed. If you want Fu Liu to put two boxes for her, her father would help me see which piece of land to give her!"
Xu Hui looked at the account book and said without raising his head, "Your land is good, just give it whatever you want!"
"One piece is not enough!" Xu Shu said, "I remember that I should have thirteen pieces of land in total. If it is divided equally, the eldest sister, the seventh sister, and the tenth sister will have three pieces each! The fourth sister also has three pieces!"
"Then you only have one piece left?" Xu Hui was stunned.
"Yes!" Xu Shu nodded, "It's useless to keep your daughter. It's better to give it to the sisters to add makeup to their marriage and give them a glorious marriage! It's also a face for parents Xu! Besides, if your father and mother are there, will you still lack food and drink from your daughter?"
It is indeed a long face. Most of Xu Shu's land was given by the palace, or the powerful and powerful gave it to Xu Shu by the hands of the Empress Dowager in order to please the palace. That is all the best land. The Xu family is not as big and good land as such, and the Xu family is reluctant to take out so much land to marry their daughter.
Xu Shu's generousness compared to Li's biasedness, made Xu Hui feel distracted. He closed the account book with a "snaps" and said, "If you don't say anything about Sister-in-law's situation, you won't say anything about her father. Just keep the other things. The dowry of Sister-in-law and Sister-in-law Feng will worry about her father and your mother!"
The coldness on Xu Hui's face scared Xu Shu. After a long time, Xu Shu said, "You're just listening to your father!"
Realizing that his attitude was bad, Xu Hui sighed, but could not explain to Xu Shu. He could only say, "You still have a lifetime of road to go, but my father is old and can't take care of you for the rest of your life. You always have to leave something to accompany you!"
Xu Shu bit her lips and didn't say anything, as if she could not face the fact that Xu Hui would eventually grow old and leave her. Xu Hui sighed and handed over the account book to Taxue, "If you want to add makeup to Sister Ru, remember to give it to me quietly, don't let your third aunt know!"
If An knew about it, even if it was Xu Shu's things, An would snatch them without any scruples. An would not give Xu Ru any good things, nor would he be afraid of others giving Xu Ru good things.
Xu Shu nodded, "Daughter can save you. My daughter plans to add these things openly to the dowry list when the Zhang family comes to the betrothal gift. With grandfather and grandmother here, she has passed the open stuff. Even if Aunt San is angry, she can't do anything!"
"It's good!" If you don't have to pay a penny for your parents like this, the old lady will naturally help Xu Ru not let An take away Xu Ru's things.
Xu Hui was about to leave after saying that, but suddenly turned around and instructed, "Don't let your mother know!"
Xu Shu said inexplicably, "Why! My mother also loves the fourth sister very much!"
Xu Hui did not explain, but kept saying, "You just listen to what you are father!"
Xu Shu had to ask what was going on, "Why did you hide it from your mother? My daughter also wanted her to help me learn about the jewelry!"
Xu Hui was silent for a moment before saying, "It's okay to have jewelry, don't talk about the local affairs!"
"But the land deeds are all on my mother's side!" Xu Shu's voice was full of confusion and innocence.
"The land deed is with your mother?" Xu Hui seemed to have not heard Xu Shu clearly and asked again.
Xu Shu nodded, "The land deed has always been taken care of by my mother, and it was also arranged by my mother to take care of it!"
Xu Hui stood up and froze there. He looked at Xu Shu, then took the account book in Taxue's hand and put it in his sleeve. He turned to Xu Shu and said, "I'll go and tell your mother!"
Is Xiaojiu's land still there?
Xu Hui, who was walking away slowly with the account book, was solemn and unrestrained.
