Chapter 61 Negotiate
When she finished her first sentence, the two feudal parents, the old lady and the Zhu family, felt uncomfortable in their hearts. But after hearing Xu Xi's last words, they suddenly understood her intention.
With a mother like Wei, no matter who she is, she would be worried, right? Marriage is a major event related to a woman's happiness in the rest of her life. It is completely understandable that Xu Xi would be worried about Wei and ask for a promise from them.
The expressions on both of their faces softened.
"We never force our children to get married." The old lady said, "We will ask for your opinion on your marriage, and we will not decide on it without saying hello. Not only you, but other children as well.
Getting married is about getting married, not enmity. There is no benefit in forcing children to get married."
Mr. Zhu nodded, expressing his agreement with the old lady's words.
"Then what if the second lady arranges a marriage for me without authorization?" Xu Xi asked.
"You are the child of our Hou family. Without the consent of the Marquis and I, Mrs. Hou cannot make the decision," the old lady said.
Seeing her very determined look, Xu Xi relaxed and smiled: "That way, I feel relieved."
She stood up and saluted the old lady and the eldest lady: "Thank you, old lady, and thank you, eldest aunt."
"No need to be polite." The old lady raised her hand with a smile on her face.
The eldest lady looked at Xu Xi with a gentle expression: "If anything happens in the future, you can come to the old lady and tell me. Just be as generous as you are today."
"Yes." The old lady also agreed.
Although she was not very comfortable at first, now she felt that it would be good to talk openly. She had stayed in the back house all her life and had seen too many intrigues and suspicions. She preferred to be frank and frank like Xu Xi.
He has the temperament to talk about everything.
After receiving the promise from the old lady and the eldest lady, Xu Xi also took a step back and said: "Okay, I will go back to live in the Hou Mansion. But if the second lady comes to trouble me, that's a different matter."
Speaking of the Wei family, the old lady's face didn't look good either. She said: "I will control her."
After the matter was settled, Xu Xi stood up and said goodbye.
The eldest lady called her maid Cai Die: "Take the fifth girl to the Tea House to have a look. If there is anything missing, go to the warehouse to get it and buy more for the girl."
Xu Xi saluted and followed Cai Die to the Mingming Residence.
Pinmingju is really a small courtyard built next to Rongxi Hall. I don’t know what it was built for at that time. However, this small courtyard is not accessible from the same gate as Rongxi Hall, but bypasses a section of the wall of Rongxi Hall.
, it can be regarded as a unique institution, which makes Xu Xi very satisfied.
The yard is not big and there are few houses, but Xu Xi lives in one room, one is used as a study room, and another is used as a living room, which is completely enough. The houses are very spacious, and the yard is also seventy or eighty square meters, which is larger than Xu Xi's.
The three-bedroom and two-living room I bought in Hyundai is much better.
Mrs. Zhu had already asked people to move all the things that were originally added to the second bedroom and put them in the tea house. However, they only decorated the bedroom, and other places were only cleaned, without laying out the things.
Xu Xi walked around the yard and ordered: "The main room will be used as a study, the east room will be used as a bedroom, and the west room will be used as a reception room."
When Grandma Yuan heard this, she was a little embarrassed. Although she still couldn't understand Xu Xi's temper, she still dutifully said: "Girl, the main room is usually used for entertaining guests. Isn't it good to use the west room as the reception room?"
"But the main room is bright and bright, so it's just right for a study. And I stay there the longest, so of course I have to use the best and most comfortable room as a study. As for receiving guests, I don't have many people coming here, so it doesn't take long.
Very rarely, if the best house is used as a reception room, it would be a waste."
Xu Xi waved his hand: "Follow my instructions."
Yes, this is a master who doesn't listen to opinions and is very opinionated.
Grandma Yuan had to direct everyone to move the bedding and other things into the east wing, and then move the Eight Immortals table and chairs in the main room to the west wing.
Xu Xi looked at the empty main room and asked Qing Feng: "When Qing Feng received the Four Treasures of the Study, auntie said those things were all for me, right?"
"Yes, girl."
"Now go to the Guanqi Courtyard to get all the things and put them in the study. Then ask the eldest lady if there are any bookshelves and desks. If so, can you lend them to me?"
Qingfeng was shocked again by Xu Xi's familiar behavior.
The fifth girl has just returned to the Marquis' Mansion. Shouldn't she be timid and keep to herself, not daring to say another word or take an extra step? Why did my own girl have a quarrel with her own mother first, and now she is still like this when decorating the new house?
Asking for things without politeness.
Even Miss Zhao Ruyu from the eldest house wouldn’t dare to be so blatant when she wanted something, so she would be right and confident, right?
"Why are you standing there? Why don't you go quickly?" Xu Xi said.
Qingfeng endured it again and again, but couldn't help but persuade: "Girl, how about... let's just use the Eight Immortals table to write and read books? The girl doesn't have any books to put out, and the bookshelf is not in a hurry, right? The girl has just entered the house.
If you want this or that, old lady, the eldest lady won’t say anything, but the young master in the other room will inevitably make comparisons with the girl. When the time comes, she will also ask the eldest lady for something. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for the eldest lady?”
These words can be regarded as good advice, and they are very considerate of Xu Xi.
If Xu Xi wants to live a good life in this prince's mansion and watch other people's faces when dressing and eating, she will naturally listen to Qing Feng's advice. She still understands the principle of listening to people's advice and eating enough.
But she doesn't plan to live a good life here.
Although she promised the old lady and the eldest lady, she estimated that she would not be in the Hou Mansion for most of the time in the future. Moreover, she planned to make money by herself and did not rely on the Hou Mansion for clothing and food, so she did not need to look to the Hou Mansion.
The faces of the people in the government changed.
If it makes her unhappy, she can move out of the Hou Mansion and buy another house to live in. Weddings and funerals have nothing to do with the Hou Mansion.
A financially independent person, Minato is so upright, huh.
"No, just do as I tell you." Xu Xi waved his hand and then looked straight at Qing Feng, as if she didn't obey my orders and even changed her attitude.
Qing Feng sighed secretly, bowed his head and saluted: "Yes." He took a step back and turned to look for the eldest lady.
The eldest lady was still sitting in the old lady's room. When she heard Qing Feng's report, she looked at the old lady.
The old lady frowned and said, "What you want is not too much, so give it to her."
She was willing to give it because the Hou Mansion had these things. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to spend additional money to make or buy them for Xu Xi.
"Would it be that you indulge her too much? It was like this at the beginning, but later on, she indulged her too much," the doctor said.
The old lady took a sip of tea: "When I talked to her just now, I think you can see that she is not that frivolous and ignorant person. Listening to her talk, she is very knowledgeable and understands the importance of things. What she wants is not excessive, so first
Give it to her. Let’s treat her well first and then see how she fares. She doesn’t have a strong sense of belonging to the Hou Mansion. If we continue to suppress her blindly, she will really have some good fortune in the future, and she will not miss the Hou Mansion. "
