When the prince has the ability to read minds, he switches to the princess

They went back and waited until nightfall.

Xilin turned around and brought back good news, that is, the emperor named them imperial merchants and specially gave them a signboard for the No. 1 grain merchant in the world.

Xi Ming asked: "Why did the emperor give you this sign?"

"Grandpa, this should be a reward given to our family by our grandson who built a house and resettled refugees."

"Can you also receive a commendation from the emperor?"

Xilin said he didn't know.

“I don’t know if this is a blessing or a curse.”

"It should be a good thing."

I hope so.

After dinner, Xilin was alone with Xirou, looking at his cousin's current dress. A unique jade hairpin was combed in her bun, with tassels hanging on it, swaying gently, adding a bit of nobility.

"My cousin's outfit today is very good."

Xirou raised her eyebrows.

"You think it looks good? You are worthy of being raised by your grandfather, and your taste is the same as my grandfather's. This is my grandfather's taste. Buy whatever is expensive."

Hahaha

However, he found his cousin's dress pleasing to his eye and said:

"This is how girls should dress."

Xi Rou did not deny it.

Xilin asked someone to prepare tea after the meal. When he thought about what he encountered in the palace today, he felt that it was unreal.

"Cousin, are you planning what happened to me in the palace today?"

Xirou shook her head.

"I really didn't expect this reward."

Xilin said he believed her.

"Marquis Dingyuan brought his son to the palace today to plead guilty. The emperor did not blame him. He also asked Marquis Dingyuan to help me resettle the refugees." When he said this, he asked, "What did my cousin give him?"

Xi Judao: "A map. At that time, I heard that Chen Shizi was talking nonsense about you hurting him, so I thought of using this in exchange to make him change his story."

"No wonder. Next time, my cousin is waiting, so there is no need to waste good things in vain."

Xirou shook her head.

"I didn't think so much about it at that time."

She thought it was her fault.

"My cousin is fine now."

Xilin sighed, as if he guessed his cousin's thoughts, and said:

"My cousin, don't feel guilty. What happened to me today has nothing to do with my cousin."

"Needless to say, the outcome of this incident is good."

......

Fang Sheng found it incredible that the Xi family received such a reward.

After going to court today, Marquis Dingyuan greeted him personally and said that he had given birth to a good daughter.

When did your daughter have a good relationship with Dingyuan Houfu?

"Master Hou, what has my girl done?"

"Your girl is very good, but it's not good for a girl from the Fang family to live in her maternal grandfather's house all the time. If someone wants to propose marriage, I don't know where to go?"

Propose marriage? who? Dingyuanhou Mansion?

"Master Marquis, are you trying to be a matchmaker?"

"Who has that skill? It's just that the dog is not young. The eldest girl in your family is also Huizhi Lanxin, and she is about the same age as my dog."

It is really the Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

Fang Sheng said hurriedly:

"What the prince said is that this child is filial and wants to stay with her grandfather for a few more days, but it's time to go home."

"That's good."

Marquis Dingyuan left, and Fang Sheng stood on the aisle, but he was a little messy.

The eldest daughter of my family is indeed very capable. She lost the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and actually climbed up to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

The only child of appropriate age in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is Chen Shizi.

If you marry into the Marquis Mansion, you will become the Crown Princess in the future.

Crown Princess?

Fang Sheng hurriedly went back, returning home first, and then sent Dongzi to pick him up.

At that time, Fang Xirou was not in Xifu, but accompanied her grandfather to the countryside to see her cousin resettle refugees.

The last time Chen Shizi set fire, only part of the house was destroyed. The foundation was still there, and it is not difficult to rebuild now.

Coupled with the additional manpower sent by Dingyuan Hou, the construction of houses was even faster than before.

Xirou went over to accompany her grandfather for a walk. Xirou saw the tragic situation of the refugees being homeless, and she felt inexplicable.

It's one thing to know that it's miserable, but it's another thing to see it with your own eyes. She regrets not telling her in advance.

But at that time, even if I said it, who could believe it?

Only my cousin believed in me.

After looking back at my grandfather, my grandfather looked unpredictable and was silent all the way.

Xirou thought he was just worried.

Then he comforted: "Grandpa, don't worry about your cousin. My cousin can handle it well."

Xi Xuan nodded.

"Grandpa is getting old. Your cousin is playing a big game of chess."

"Huh? What chess game are you playing?"

"You just walked around, did you hear anything?"

Xi Rou thought for a while.

"They talked a lot, and they all praised my cousin."

"Yes, they all praise your cousin for being gentle and kind-hearted. This is his method. Your cousin has just entered the capital and has no foundation. Only by capturing the hearts of these people can he have the foundation to establish himself in the capital."

Xirou nodded in agreement.

"My cousin is smart and capable, and my grandfather taught me well."

Mentioning this, Xi Ming tried to persuade her again.

"So, if you have better judgment, there is no one in this world who is more worthy of you than the one trained by your grandfather. The third child? Huh, even his father despises him for not being a good person."

Xirou quickly changed the subject and said, "Grandpa, someone is setting a trap over there. Let's go and take a look."

"Go ahead and let people follow you."

"Ah."

Xirou left, while Ximu found a place to rest under the shade of a tree. Xing Shun was beside her and said, "My cousin loves to play, she is exactly the same as our aunt."

"Yuzhu was about her age at that time. He was still a child, a playful age."

Xi Tu was still a little worried, "I'm really afraid that she will be like her mother, who will never look back if she likes someone."

"No, the eldest girl doesn't look like my aunt...it definitely doesn't look like her at all."

"Then why do you think she wants to choose that bastard from Xishui?"

"Can't this be done?"

"I don't think so either, but these days, I see the two of them getting along, just like brother and sister, without any ambiguity."

"Then...my cousin has never met the third young master, how can she like the third young master?"

"That's right. Is that an excuse for not liking Xilin? That must be the case."

On the other side, as soon as Xi Rou approached the ring, she saw Chen Fengpei coming on horseback not far away.

Is this person causing trouble again?

He was riding on a horse and said unreasonably:

"Fang Xirou, I have something to do with you, please come here."

Xirou thinks he is sick.

However, as soon as he arrived, he saw Wen Chengxiu not far away following him.

Wen Chengxiu dismounted, then walked up to her and said, "There is indeed something important. I think you don't know about it yet."

Xirou frowned, glanced at Chen Shizi again, and then said: "My grandfather is over there, so go over there."

Wen Chengxiu thought she was cautious, but also very good.

Wen Chengxiu and Chen Shizi said, "Go."

Xi Rou stood not far from his grandfather, waiting for Chen Shizi to come over.

Chen Shizi seemed to be in a hurry. As soon as he approached, he said, "Fang Xirou, I will not marry you. Please go back and tell my father."

Marry me?

"Are you crazy? When will I marry you?"

"You don't know yet? My father has already discussed it with your father. We are going to be hired."

"..."

"Fang Xirou, actually I still hope that you can be with Brother Xiu. You two are a perfect match."

You are a perfect match for him, and your whole family is a perfect match for him.

Yaya, I can’t be mad at you.

"Chen Shizi, did your father come to my family as a concubine?"

"of course."

"That's really great."

"Excellent? You think it's excellent? Why do you feel so good?"

"Why don't I feel good? You don't think I'm so stupid that I can't tell the difference between a wife and a concubine. When I marry the crown prince, I will be the crown prince's concubine."

"You...you are a playboy, I will not marry you."

"Chen Fengpei, the betrothal gift is about to arrive at my house. Is it useful to say that you don't want to marry me?"

Seeing that Chen Fengpei was no match for Fang Xirou, Wen Chengxiu said, "Miss Fang, don't be angry. I know you don't want to marry Chen Shizi. You must have a way to reject this marriage."

Xi Rou smiled mockingly at Wen Chengxiu.

"My parents ordered me to be a matchmaker. You really shouldn't come so directly."

"I......"

"Disobedience to parents and elders is unfilial."

Seeing that she didn't listen to her advice, Chen Fengpei really wanted to take action, but then Xi Min came forward.

"Xirou, it's time for us to go back."
