On the return carriage, Master Feng Er held the "original" in his hand and was reluctant to put it down for a moment.

?

Old Madam Feng leaned on the pillow with her eyes half closed, as if she was half asleep.

?

Feng Yushuo's eyes were filled with the smiles and frowns of Xie Liuzheng, and he couldn't help but be absent-minded.

?

It turns out that she looks like this, which is a little different from what I imagined, but it is even more amazing.

?

Elegant as white plum blossoms and pure as orchids.

?

I wonder what kind of man she will marry in the future.

?

"Yu Shu." Old Madam Feng suddenly spoke.

?

Feng Yushu's ears felt hot as if someone had seen through his thoughts. He quickly collected his thoughts and asked respectfully, "Grandma, what do you want me to do?"

?

Madam Feng had been aloof and arrogant all her life, and she felt bad when she suddenly had to admit that she was wrong.

?

However, it was a fact that Xie Liuzheng saved Master Feng II. If she tried to avoid any contact with the Xie family, it would only lead to gossip.

?

After a pause, he said calmly, "Send someone to invite Madam Liu when we get back home."

?

Mrs. Liu didn't usually interact with the Feng family, so she was a little confused when she was suddenly invited to visit by Old Madam Feng. But when she heard Old Madam Feng hesitantly mention Xie Liuzheng and hoped that Mrs. Liu would show up to ease the relationship between the two families, she suddenly realized what was going on.

?

It turned out that Madam Feng had said too much before, and now she came to me to smooth things over for her.

?

Madam Liu was filled with great admiration for Xie Liuzheng. She said that the child was definitely not an ordinary person. She could even easily win over the stubborn old Madam Feng. When she grew up, she would be even more extraordinary.

?

Since Old Madam Feng had spoken, Madam Liu naturally would not refuse and agreed without hesitation. After leaving the Feng family, she asked someone to pass a message to Xie Liuzheng.

?

Xie Liuzheng was in a villa outside the city. It was already afternoon when he received the letter, so it was inconvenient for him to go out. He replied that he would visit him early the next morning.

?

When Xie Liuhui and her sister heard that Xie Liuzheng was going to meet Liu Shoubei's wife, they were filled with envy and jealousy, and looked at her eagerly.

?

"Mrs. Feng just came over, and Mrs. Liu sent an invitation to my cousin. My cousin is so lucky."

?

"Yes, the most noble person I have ever seen is only the second daughter of the county magistrate. She is also a concubine's daughter."

?

Xie Xiangyu heard that the two wanted to go with Xie Liuzheng, and she also wanted to let them see the world, so she asked Xie Liuzheng, "Did Madam Liu tell you what she wanted to see you for? If we just want to hang out, it would be nice to bring your two sisters along."

?

The post didn't say what it was about. Xie Liuzheng guessed that it was related to Old Madam Feng, and it was obviously inappropriate to bring in strangers. He smiled and said, "It should be to order jewelry for the second half of the year. If the two sisters go together, they will just sit by the side. What's the point?"

?

"I remember that Miss Liu's birthday is in a few days. We must send her a birthday gift then. Why not bring the two sisters along to have a bowl of birthday noodles so that it will be more lively."

?

When they heard that they could go to Liu's house, they were very excited.

?

After returning to her room, Xie Liufang said with longing, "The young lady of Liu Shoubei's family must have been raised in luxury. I don't know how many young ladies will come to celebrate my birthday. I have to dress up nicely and try to get to know a few of them."

?

Xie Liuhui thought about how many times Xie Liuzheng had attended such banquets, and she began to feel jealous again. "You are just trying to take advantage of others and watch the fun. You may not be able to talk to those ladies. Why are you so excited?"

?

Xie Liufang curled his lips unconvincedly, "It's good to be able to see the world, I won't talk to you anymore, let me think about what clothes to wear that day."

?

The next morning, Xie Liuzheng was invited to the Liu Mansion. As soon as Mrs. Liu saw her, she held her hand tightly and asked her to sit next to her.

?

Xie Liuzheng finally broke free, performed the proper etiquette, and then sat down at the seat below Madam Liu.

?

Madam Liu looked at her and shook her head and sighed, "You are a very well-behaved child. What's even more rare is that you are neither arrogant nor impatient. You are calmer than many wives of the head of the family."

?

"Madam, you are too kind." Xie Liuzheng bowed and said modestly, "I am just a little stupid and don't know how to curry favor with others. I can only follow the rules and etiquette to prevent myself from making a fool of myself."

?

"If you were stupid, there would be no smart people in the world." Madam Liu patted Xie Liuzheng's hand and whispered in her ear, "I asked you to come here today because I want you to do me a favor."

?

"Yesterday, Madam Feng asked me to help her find an opportunity to ease the relationship with your family. I was in a dilemma. You can tell her temper even without me telling you. I have to save her face and take back my previous comments about your mother. I thought about it all night but couldn't come up with a solution. I can only ask you to help me come up with some ideas."

?

Xie Liuzheng stood up and was about to bow again, but Madam Liu forced him to sit down. "Child, don't bow all the time. Since I'm telling you the truth, I don't treat you as an outsider. If you keep doing this, it will make you look strange."

?

"Don't think that I'm asking you to help me just to give you face. The Feng family has a high status, and I also hope to gain face in front of Old Madam Feng, so this is not only for you, but also for myself."

?

Xie Liuzheng had a new respect for Madam Liu. It turned out that the families of these officials were not simple people.

?

"Thank you for your kindness, Madam. I won't be polite to you then." Xie Liuzheng smiled and took over the matter directly. "Actually, this matter is difficult, but it is also easy. I will send some jewelry suitable for the elderly later. Please take the trouble to ask Madam Feng to take a look."

?

"Madam Feng doesn't need to say anything. As long as she accepts this small gift, others will naturally understand her intention."

?

Madam Liu pondered for a moment, then clapped her hands and said, "Let's do it this way."

?

"Let's not talk about this anymore. My little daughter is taking a nap here and it's time for her to wake up. I'll ask her to come and talk to you."

?

"What sister Xie said is very interesting." Liu Yingying came out from the warm room, bowed to Madam Liu, sat down next to Xie Liuzheng, and looked at her curiously.

?

"I get bored when I hear other people talk about the ways of the world, but I find it very interesting when I hear Sister Xie say this. Sister, please tell me more."

?

Madam Liu stroked Liu Yingying's hair with a look of doting and helplessness, "This little girl is a little spoiled, and her personality is very simple. She is really a fool."

?

Being simple is because one does not have to face the fickleness of human nature. Why wouldn't Xie Liuzheng want to be simple?

?

"Madam and Miss are too polite. I don't know anything about the ways of the world. I'm just stupid and timid. I'm afraid of offending people, so I'll spend some time to save other people's face."

?

People live by their face and trees live by their bark. If you maintain other people's face, others will naturally be willing to give you some face.

?

Liu Yingying tilted her head, thoughtfully.

?

Xie Liuzheng sat for a while and then stood up to say goodbye. She went to the silver shop to get a few pieces of jewelry as the Feng family's door-knocking stone, and selected a few more pieces to give to Liu Yingying, saying that they were just a gift for meeting each other.

?

Liu Yingying was very happy to receive the jewelry and showed them to Mrs. Liu one by one.
