Xu Xue nodded sharply: "We really did it voluntarily. My sister is very kind to us. I was admitted to a women's school because of my sister's blessing. My sister paid for my tuition."

Mrs. Xiao glanced at Aunt Yun and saw her nodding, so she knew that the Suiping Hou Mansion had given birth to the wrong daughter.

She laughed and said to Xu Xi: "They are very protective of you."

Xu Xi smiled and nodded: "No, this is my luck."

Mrs. Xiao saw that her smile was very sincere, and that Xie and Xu Xue's nervousness and defense of her did not seem to be hypocritical, and she suddenly envied Xu Xilai in her heart.

The more wealthy the family, the more complicated the interpersonal relationships. Even the biological parents may not really love and care about their children, but put interests first. It is rare for mother and daughter like Xu Xi and Xie to treat each other sincerely. If Xu Xi

What happened to Xi was exactly what she said, and living in the Xu family was a blessing for her.

"Are you the students admitted this year?" she asked again.

"Exactly."

"Okay." Mrs. Xiao stood up, "Since we are all in the academy, it will be convenient to contact you. I will find you after I find the store and the shopkeeper. I have something else to do, so I will leave first. See you later."

"Congratulations, sir."

The three of them walked outside the box and watched their group disappear around the corner of the stairs, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie was uneasy: "Xiao Xi, does this matter have no impact on you and Xiaoxue?"

Xu Xi shook his head: "Probably not. Mrs. Xiao has a straightforward temperament. She didn't show any displeasure, and she also said that if we contact her again, there shouldn't be any bad behavior."

Xie was relieved.

Xu Xi turned around and said to Xie Yifu: "Thank you aunt and sister for explaining to me in time."

"What are you doing? You still think I'm your aunt, so don't say such things." Xie said angrily.

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go home." Xu Xi called the waiter, paid the bill, and went downstairs with Mrs. Xie and Xu Xue.

Because of Fu Yunlang's instructions, Xu Xinda did not disturb Mrs. Xiao when she left. However, after Fu Yunlang saw Mrs. Xiao's appearance upstairs, he confirmed her identity - Mrs. Xiao had a brother whom Fu Yunlang had met. They were siblings.

There is a slight resemblance between their eyebrows and eyes.

After confirming Mrs. Xiao's identity, Fu Yunlang was very grateful for the instructions he had just given to Xu Xinda.

Not only is the Pingnan Marquis Mansion different from the Zhennan Prince Mansion, it is also far from the British Duke Mansion. No matter from any aspect, they cannot afford to offend this woman.

Xu Xinda waited patiently. As soon as Xu Xi and others appeared at the door of the teahouse, he quickly ran out of the silver building and smiled at Xu Xi: "Girl, let's talk about what happened just now?"

Fu Yunlang was worried about Xu Xinda and sent shopkeeper Huang down. At this time, shopkeeper Huang also helped: "As soon as the girl left, our boss regretted it. Now he wants to continue talking to the girl. The girl said a hundred

Two taels of silver and a picture is one hundred taels, and we have no objection."

Xu Xinda nodded quickly: "Yes, yes."

"I'm sorry, the remaining nine pictures have been sold to the lady just now." Xu Xi nodded to Xu Xinda with a smile and raised his feet to leave.

Xu Xinda wanted to cry when he heard this. He stood in front of Xu Xi and blocked her path. He said with a sad face: "Girl, can you draw a few more pictures for us?"

"Yes, we will give you as much as the lady gives you, never less than one hundred taels of silver." Shopkeeper Huang was also trying his best to make up for his mistake.

"There are really none." Xu Xi smiled apologetically, "The ten pictures sold were all made by me in the past two years after careful consideration and repeated revisions. I spent countless efforts and painted wherever I could.

You two, I’m really sorry.”

Xu Xue opened her mouth.

What a year or two? She drew these pictures while watching Xu Xi, and it took less than an hour in total.

She naturally knew that this was not the time for her to speak, so she had no choice but to suppress the questions in her mind and listen to the conversation between Xu Xi and the two of them.

"Girl, can you think about a few more pictures when you go back? As long as the style is novel, everything will be easy." Shopkeeper Huang said.

"I'll give it a try. I think you also know that this kind of thing is not something I want to draw. I need inspiration." Xu Xi said.

"Okay then. If the girl wants to come out, she must bring her to Yulong Pavilion." Shopkeeper Huang Yin Yin warned.

Xu Xi's words are indeed true when I think about it. Such pictures cannot be obtained by casual drawing. Their craftsmen all need to find inspiration. If they don't have inspiration, they can't come up with any new styles even after half a year.

.This kind of thing cannot be rushed.

So he could only settle for the next best thing, hoping that if Xu Xi painted a new style, he could get it to Yulong Pavilion first.

"Okay." Xu Xi said and glanced at Xu Xinda. Xu Xinda had to step aside and watched Xu Xi leave with a few people in depression.

From Shopkeeper Huang's eager expression, how could Xu Xinda not see that he had also been scolded by the Second Young Master and wanted to make up for his mistakes? It can be seen that the Second Young Master cares about this matter. Thinking about today's transaction, it was all his fault.

As a result, his heart sank.

He turned around and told the doorkeeper: "Follow that girl and see where she lives."

Shopkeeper Huang opened his mouth to stop him, but after a pause, he closed his mouth.

The man quickly chased Xu Xi and the others towards the place where they disappeared.

Xu Yongyi saw that Xu Xi was just walking forward and was far away from Yulong Pavilion. He quickly said: "Sister Xi, you wait here, I will call a mule cart."

"Uncle, don't worry." Xu Xi said without explaining, and walked straight forward. When she reached the corner of an alley, she walked in and stopped in front of a house with a locust tree.

, stood behind the locust tree.

Xu Yongyi, his wife and Xu Xue didn't know her intention, but they followed her in without asking.

Ms. Xie knew that Xu Xi had a huge sum of money on his person at this time. Although this alley was not remote, it was still a little deserted compared to the street just now. If someone had malicious intentions, considering Xu Yongyi was a man, it was really not certain

Can protect them.

She was about to speak when she heard Xu Xi say "shush", signaling for them to be silent. Xie quickly closed her mouth and followed Xu Xi's gaze at the entrance of the alley.

I heard the sound of rapid footsteps, and then, a figure rushed over and ran forward a few steps. He seemed to realize something was wrong and stopped and looked around.

Xu Xi didn't wait for him to see her, and asked aloud: "Are you looking for me?"

Only then did Xu Yongyi see clearly that this person was the gatekeeper of Yulong Pavilion. When he was waiting for Xu Xi and others downstairs, he had a few words with this guy and would never admit his mistake again.

He was shocked and angry.
