The butler stood quietly on the side without saying anything. The master had made his own decision in his heart and there was no need for him to say anything.

Later, when the censor of Xiadu learned that Xiaocao was sending his granddaughter home, he couldn't help laughing. This little girl, to put it nicely, is warm-hearted, and to put it harshly, she is nosy. For those who need her, this kind of heart is...

It may be a life-saving straw, but correspondingly, it may be extremely boring.

The former is like his granddaughter Bihe, and the latter is like most of the current Xia family.

The Censor of Xiadu had a good impression of Xiaocao. This girl was sincere and dared to say and do things, but she was not arrogant. He did not care about her and did not say anything about her coming to the Xia family.

"Where's Brother Feng? He's not back yet?"

"Back to the master, Master Ninth has gone back to the academy."

"Going back to the academy? He skipped classes in the academy and went to confront his sister. He was scolded and found out that he had done something stupid. Now he hides back in the academy and dare not come back? He said that he did not take responsibility, but he is not wrong at all.

My Xia family has such descendants, and it is true that I, the father and grandfather, did not teach them well." The censor of the Xia capital took the letter from the table and began to write a letter to his fourth son in the local area. The grandson was punished.

, the son also has to be punished, it is not something that can be avoided if one is not in the imperial city.

"Sir, there are no regular classes in Changlu Academy today. They are all for students to discuss learning with each other. It is okay to leave the academy." The chief steward said cautiously.

"So you want to say that he didn't skip class? Since students are discussing and studying with each other, it is also skipping school. What's the difference? - Pass the word on, I, the son of the Xia family, all the students who enter will take leave. Next, I will teach them.

Others came over after they went to the Yamen. I spent little time teaching the children at home, so they thought I just said a few words to them casually without getting angry. This meant that they turned a deaf ear to my words." As he spoke, his subordinates did not say anything.

stop.

The Imperial Ambassador of Xiadu wrote quickly, and what fell on the paper was in cursive script. You must know that as the Imperial Envoy of the Capital City, he is very particular about rigor. Sometimes people may take advantage of loopholes in this cursive handwriting, and it is easy to not use it. This shows that he is so

My mood right now is really not that wonderful.

The chief steward felt a little embarrassed, because Master Ninth, the master was angry?!

It is true that Xiadu Yushi is broad-minded, but it does not mean that he really does not care about face. He has been "accused" by a little girl again and again. He will not care about anything with Xiaocao, but it does not mean that he is not annoyed at all. Let others be in

If he is "taught" outside, he can really retire early and not gain a foothold in the court.

Because of Xiaocao's visit, the Xia family members were in a very subtle mood, as if they were annoyed or angry. They couldn't do anything to her, so they simply turned a blind eye and didn't approach her, pretending they didn't know she was coming.

Such a person.

Therefore, along the way, Xiaocao also met the servants of the Xia family. There seemed to be the master of the Xia family in the distance. When he saw her, he avoided her directly - after all, he was worried that he could not control himself, so he said no.

If anything, if she makes a mistake, this girl dares to go to their parents. Can they afford to offend her? If she can't afford to offend her, she will naturally have no choice but to hide.

In their own home, they have to avoid an outsider who comes to the door. They are probably the only one in the Xia family. Not to mention how aggrieved they are. If they tell it, they don't know how they will be laughed at.

Including the servants he saw, they were clearly angry, and they had to smile, so their expressions were naturally a bit weird.

Xia Bihe saw all this and had to say that she was really touched. Sister Xuan had nothing to do with the Xia family. It could be said that everyone in the Xia family should not welcome her. The master took the initiative to avoid her. Now

People forced themselves to smile and greet each other with a respectful attitude and did not dare to neglect; she was the serious mistress of the Xia family, but she was ignored by a bunch of people. Isn't it ridiculous? However, she couldn't smile at all.

She understood the reason, and it was never clearer than at this moment.

Something is quietly sprouting in my heart.

Arriving at Xia Bihe's small courtyard, Xiaocao saw everything inside and outside the house. On the surface, it seemed to be okay, but if you look closely, you will find that there was not much thought at all, and the perfunctory air was really almost to the point of death.

It overflowed.

Apart from anything else, compared with Xiaocao herself, she was really far behind. If something like this happened in Xiaocao's yard, Han might be able to beat the person to death directly.

Therefore, Xia Bihe's current situation is that she is no longer bullied at most, but she is still not taken seriously, and the people who serve her are still neglectful. These things cannot be changed by the Censor of Xiadu paying a little attention to her. After all, no one can

I know that their master will never put too much thought into the inner house.

The maid served tea diligently. Xia Bihe looked at the things on the table, and her heart became more complicated. Sincerely, there is no harm without comparison. This harm, even if I have experienced it now, is still too great. After all, Sister Xuan and her family

People are different.

Xiaocao asked all the maids to go down, and then Xia Bihe's maids, including Xia Bihe's maids, all made a promise to exit, with gentle steps and Xia Bihe's words, but it never had such an effect.

Xiaocao pulled Xia Bihe, who seemed to be greatly stimulated and was in a daze, "When there are people to rely on, you still have to stand up on your own, so that you can truly convince others and be respected; and when there is no one to rely on, you have to rely on yourself even more.

You have to know that dignity is not given by others, but earned by yourself."

Xia Bihe lowered his head and listened silently, without responding for a long time.

Xiaocao didn't rush her. She picked up a piece of snack and took a bite. It tasted pretty good. The tea was also pretty good. Although she didn't usually like tea, it didn't mean she didn't. In fact, she didn't like it.

The tea is quite complete. I occasionally tasted it when I was with Ting Yu. I can still distinguish the taste and quality of various famous teas.

I don't know how long it took, but Xia Bihe said softly, "Sister Xuan, I know, I know."

Sister Xuan worked hard for her, how could she let her down?

Xiaocao smiled and said nothing more. If a person wants to change from the bottom of his heart and works hard for it, he will gain something.

Xiaocao didn't stay long and left.

After Xia Bihe sent the person away, she turned around and met her cousins. The eyes that looked at her were still so unkind.

"Find an outsider to support you, Xia Bihe, don't you think the Xia family has been embarrassed enough?"

Xia Bihe lowered her head. The people in front of her thought she would suffer silently like before. Unexpectedly, she slowly raised her head and straightened her back, "Who makes me a poor thing? Having a family is like having no family."

"It's okay if my family doesn't support me, but they still bully me and make outsiders look down upon me. If I want to be embarrassed, I have nothing, so why do I need the face?"

The two people in front of them widened their eyes in disbelief. Xia Bihe would actually fight back against them, and the words he said were so heartbreaking. For a moment, they didn't even know what to say.

Xia Bihe silently raised the corner of her mouth. Some things had taken the first step. It didn't seem to be that difficult. I had to admit that it was quite pleasant to see their faces change. Then, Xia Bihe passed by them and walked straight away.

Instead of being timid and hunchbacked, he raised his head and held his chest high, with a firm gaze.

The two people behind looked at each other. Did they take the wrong medicine?

Xia Bihe returned to her yard and looked at the gift Xiaocao had prepared for her. She knew it was for her grandfather and whether she wanted to send it to him or not, now it depends on her own wishes. She mustered up the courage to fight back against her cousin and took the initiative to face her grandfather alone.

, are completely different things. Even if I know that my grandfather is not a very strict and unkind person, I am still afraid in my heart, and I can't deal with it as easily as Sister Xuan.

Sister Xuan has the ability to be calm and calm when facing anyone, and is not frightened when things happen. She is really enviable.

Xia Bihe knew that she might never be able to compare in her lifetime, but she could always change something, right? Even if she couldn't do better, she wouldn't be worse than she is now.

Xia Bihe took a deep breath, picked up the things, and stepped out of the door.

Perhaps because of Xiaocao's relationship, even after she left, the rest of the Xia family were paying attention to Xia Bihe's actions, always feeling that there would be some unimaginable changes.

So much so that when Xia Bihe actually took the initiative to go to Xiadu Censor, everyone was surprised. Did Xia Bihe suddenly take the courage of an ambitious leopard? If she had that courage, how could she end up where she is now.

It is said that the place of Xiadu Yushi is not quiet now. After the words of Xiadu Yushi were passed down, everyone who was at home passed away as soon as possible. No matter what it was like outside, but in front of everyone's parents, even if it was

Those who are already grandfathers have to huddle up obediently, lower their heads and listen to the instructions.

Xia Bihe didn't know that this was the case, so she was naturally planning to turn back and come back later.

It's just that courage, it also pays attention to the strength of one go, and then it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. If he goes back, Xia Bihe may not have the courage to come again, so at this moment, he is not sure whether he feels relieved or more depressed.

"Fifth girl, do you want me to go in?"

Xia Bihe, who had just turned around, was stopped by an attendant beside Ambassador Xia Du.

Xia Bihe's body stiffened, and she seemed to shrink a little. She subconsciously hugged the thing in her arms tightly, and looked at it. Xia Bihe was silent for a moment, straightened her back slowly, and exhaled a few breaths. She wanted to change, but she didn't want to.

I want to disappoint Sister Xuan.

Xia Bihe walked into the study step by step. Although her eyes were drooping, her posture did not bend down.

Greeted everyone in a polite manner.

Mr. Du Yushi was a little surprised. This granddaughter was really beyond his expectation. Although her body was stiff and she was obviously afraid, she was trying hard to restrain herself and not let herself show it. At least she had seen her a few days ago.

It was not like this back then. As a grandfather, he could scold and teach his sons and grandsons at will, but it was not so convenient for his granddaughter. Originally, her mother was gone, so it was her stepmother who should be the one to teach her. If the stepmother is not good, there is still a grandmother. However,

...Master Duyu could only sigh in his heart.

Now there were other factors that prompted her to change. Lord Du Yushi unexpectedly thought of that girl from Wen Ren's family, and he didn't even think about it.

"Fifth girl, haven't you eaten well? Why do you look like you've lost a lot of weight?" The Imperial Ambassador of Xiadu said warmly, twirling his beard.

Xia Bihe's face turned red, "Grandpa, it's not like this. Sister Xuan said that I am puffy and fat, which is not good for my health. It's not good-looking for girls if they are fat..." Na Na explained, "I couldn't lose weight before, but now

Sister Xuan helped me, so..." Although she was more embarrassed, she also felt a little heartbroken. In this family, her grandfather was probably the only one who would ask her this question.

The Imperial Envoy of Xiadu nodded, "As long as you are healthy. - What did you get, was it for me?"

"Yes." Xia Bihe hurriedly put the wooden box on the table, "This is Sister Xuan's homemade health tea. It has the functions of delaying aging, reducing fatigue, strengthening the heart and lungs, etc. It is generally suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. I heard that old ladies are drinking it."

"If you're interested, thank them properly later."

"only."

Seeing that she probably wanted to avoid making a fool of herself, the Imperial Envoy of Xiadu deliberately lowered her speaking speed and was not very fluent. Even if she wanted to change, she would do it step by step. She could not push her into a hurry, so he decided to let her go back first.

But at this time, the attendant came in again and reported that the Ninth Young Master was back. The Imperial Ambassador of Xiadu glanced at Xia Bihe, his head was obviously lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly, so he changed his mind.

The imperial envoy of Xiadu asked people to come in and looked at his timid grandson. He originally liked this grandson quite a lot. Compared to others, he was more lively in front of him, although occasionally he seemed a little a little bit nervous.

I was in high spirits and high spirits, but now I am like this. I don’t know if I am more disappointed or heartbroken.

"You still pretend you don't want to come back."

When Master Xia Jiu heard this, he trembled and knelt on the ground, "Grandpa, my grandson knows that he was wrong."

"Are you wrong? Then tell me where you went wrong."

Young Master Xia Jiu said a lot of "shouldn'ts" like he was pouring beans. He seemed to really know that he was wrong.

"In that case, do you still need me to teach you what to do?"

Young Master Xia Jiu expressed his repentance again, and was extremely sincere. The Imperial Envoy of Xiadu felt even more disappointed. He talked in vain and in general terms, but did not have any real meaning. "Little girls say that I didn't teach you well."

Okay, it seems true."

As soon as these words came out, all the children and grandchildren all changed their faces, knelt on the ground, and apologized one after another. It was all their fault for letting their father (grandfather) worry about them, and their reputation was damaged. It was all their fault.

, please father (grandfather) never say that.

The Imperial Envoy of Xiadu still had that calm look on his face. He slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Brother Feng, you told me so much. Have you apologized to your sister? Haven't you taught me this before?"

Young Master Xia Jiu's face turned pale, but was he asked to apologize to Xia Bihe? He might be able to realize his mistakes, but that didn't mean there was no resentment in his heart. His mother had done many wrong things, but it was all because of Xia Bihe, because of her
