"Oops." Xu Yongyi slapped his thigh and gritted his teeth in pain, but he ignored the pain.

"Xiaoxue, you can do it. This set of principles is really well explained. I didn't expect that you and your sister are becoming more and more similar now. No wonder people say, 'If you are close to red, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black.' What you said

What you say makes so much sense.”

He turned to look at Xu Chongwen: "What your sister just said is exactly what I want to say. Don't have any other thoughts now. Watch your sister write story books to make money, and you also secretly write story books. I tell you,

Not everyone can get into the Zhao Family School. Now that you finally have such an opportunity, just immerse yourself in studying and don’t think about anything. You can’t be too behind in the school, otherwise I will have no shame in letting you stay there anymore. You have to

Go to the front of the exam, at least above the average level. Otherwise we will lose face, you will embarrass Xiao Xi, and you will also embarrass Uncle Suiping and his wife who have tried their best to help us."

Xu Chongwen blushed when he was told that, he lowered his head and said: "Yes."

I heard my sister talk about selling books for money, but he kept lighting the lamp and writing in his storybook last night. But I don’t know if it’s because he is stupid and has no talent, or because he just hasn’t found a way. He was fine when he was writing articles, but when he started writing stories, he was actually

I have no clue and don't know where to start.

This made him even more frustrated.

Is he not as smart as his sister? If so, why should he take the imperial examination?

But now that his father said this, he regained his fighting spirit.

Their Xu family members are not stupid. In his original private school, he memorized papers faster than others and ranked first in every exam.

He felt that as long as he worked hard, even if he went to the Zhao Family School, he would definitely be able to pass the exam and not embarrass Xiao Xi, Suiping and his parents. Before he was twenty years old, he must be admitted as a scholar.

Zhao Ruxi had actually arrived a long time ago. The courtyard door of the Xu family was open, and voices in the hall could be faintly heard outside the gate. This was considered her home, so she walked in directly. Unexpectedly, she heard Xu Yongyi praising his daughter.

What to teach your son.

Considering Xu Chongwen's fragile self-esteem, she did not come in immediately, but paused outside the door for a moment, then pretended to have just come in, and shouted happily: "Uncle, aunt, are you at home?"

"Xiao Xi, are you here?" Mrs. Xie was so happy when she saw Zhao Ruxi.

Xu Xue reacted even more quickly, running over to hold Zhao Ruxi's arm and calling sweetly: "Sister."

Xu Yongyi hasn’t seen Zhao Ruxi for a long time.

He looked Zhao Ruxi up and down and nodded happily: "I have grown taller and am more energetic."

As he spoke, his nose felt a little sore.

This was originally the only bloodline of my brother and sister-in-law, but unexpectedly it became someone else's.

From the bottom of his heart, he still regards Zhao Ruxi as one of his own. As for Zhao Ruyu, the real blood of the Xu family, he usually can't remember it at all. He has no memory of what Zhao Ruyu looks like.

The child never considered himself a member of the Xu family and never visited them again.

"Uncle, I made you worried some time ago." Zhao Ruxi met Xu Yongyi and remembered that he had gone all over the city to find her, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"As long as you're okay, it'll be okay." Xu Yongyi still had lingering fears when he mentioned the anxiety he felt a while ago.

When Mrs. Xie saw this, she quickly changed the subject: "Okay, since Xiaoxi has come to pick her up, let's leave quickly to avoid the long wait over there."

She said she was about to leave, but she pulled Zhao Ruxi and said, "Xiao Xi, take a look again, are your uncles and I dressed appropriately? Don't be too shabby and lose your face."

Zhao Ruxi looked at them a few times and felt that the others were fine, but Xie's clothes were too bright and not suitable for her.

Xu Xue probably picked out her outfit, which is coral red. Xie is slightly chubby, so wearing such a color makes her look fatter, and she is also suspected of being pretentious.

She asked Ms. Xie: "Auntie, do you have any other clothes besides this one?"

"Yes, yes. Xiaoxue pulled me to buy several clothes yesterday." Ms. Xie pulled at her dress uncomfortably, "Is the color too bright? I said no, Xiaoxue will die.

You asked me to buy it, but you forced me to wear it today."

Xiaoxue smiled coquettishly beside her: "The color is beautiful."

"The color is nice, but it makes me look fatter. Wearing something darker will make you look slimmer and make you more energetic." Zhao Ruxi pulled her into the room, "Let's go in and take a look, and I'll pick one for you."

Xu Yongyi and Xu Chongwen looked at each other helplessly.

Although there are only two women in the family, and the two women are very simple, since they received the invitation and bought some clothes and jewelry, they have already gained a lot of experience in dressing up women.

It is said that you need to change clothes, but in fact you also need to change your skirt. The colors and styles of clothes and skirts should be matched in various ways. If you feel that your bun does not match your clothes, you will have to comb your hair again. After combing your hair, you can never use the original one again.

Jewelry, right? Then you have to pick out the jewelry and try on various insertions.

In short, they couldn't get out of the house for a quarter of an hour or two.

Xu Yongyi said: "You go back to the house first and memorize a book. I will call you when your mother and others come out."

Xu Chongwen nodded and went back to the house to endorse.

Back in the house, Zhao Ruxi went through all the procedures that Xu Yongyi had expected, and even did things they couldn't imagine.

She trimmed Xie's eyebrows and put on makeup. Yesterday, Zhao Ruxi asked her family to buy her a set of cosmetics used by ancient women. Zhao Ruxi is now young and full of collagen, which she doesn't need.

Cosmetics. This set of cosmetics is a gift she specially prepared for Mr. Xie.

Although there are not as many types of cosmetics in ancient times as there are in modern times, because they are produced by Queen Shengyao, the quality is still good and the varieties are still complete.

After putting on the clothes Zhao Ruxi picked out and putting on makeup, even Xu Xue looked at her mother and was stunned.

It wasn't that Ms. Xie was so beautiful that she couldn't get back to her senses. She was completely stunned by the magical method of makeup.

Mrs. Xie can be described as "two completely different people". She used to be an ordinary village woman with slightly good facial features, but now she has become a dignified woman with quite a temperament, and she is much prettier than before, which fully highlights the advantages of her facial features.

Covers blemishes.

Zhao Ruxi looked at Xie's jewelry again, only picked out a jade hairpin and inserted it into her bun, and inserted a light purple beaded flower next to it. Then she took off her original earrings and replaced them with the ones she brought.

A pair of purple pearl earrings.

"Jewelry should be fine but not too much. It is most taboo to have jewelry all over your head and body. That is what the most unfashionable nouveau riche wife does." She said to Xu Xue.

While she was doing this, she was telling Xu Xue some theories on dressing up, and Xu Xue learned a lot.
