The old lady is in the mansion, and every now and then the juniors will gather together to eat and chat with her.Wu Xia is now also used to the food in the Xiao Mansion, although he can't say that he eats it wholeheartedly, at least he doesn't have to rush to eat as soon as he returns to the courtyard.Besides, Wu Xia likes to listen to them talking together, there is a lot of gossip to listen to.

When I went to pay my respects to the old lady that day, Mr. Xiao hadn't left yet.After the invitation, the old lady said to Mr. Xiao, "The letter sent to Wang's family was answered, saying that after February [-], the eldest lady of his family will come over. You can send someone to pick it up."

Master Xiao thought for a while, "There will be a caravan going to the capital in two days. I will let Feng'er go with it, and then I will pick up Yuyi. One boat should be enough."

"En." The old lady nodded to express her satisfaction, and asked Xiao Feng, "Feng'er, are you willing to help grandma take this trip?"

Xiao Feng said, "Feng'er should do his best."

"Well, why don't you bring your daughter-in-law with you, as there is no female relative on board, I'm afraid Yuyi will feel uncomfortable." The old lady suggested. "Let their sister-in-law and sister-in-law get along well."

Li Huilan's eyes lit up when she heard the words, girls in the boudoir rarely have the opportunity to travel far, so this is still very attractive to her.

"Mother, I know you love that child Yuyi, but it's not the rule to let the family members go out to pick him up." Xiao Wangshi said.What kind of little girl, she's just a bitch that her father doesn't love and her mother doesn't want.

"Rules are made by people." Master Xiao said, "I can do whatever my mother says."

"Just do what the master says. I'll just mention it anyway. It's not necessary to make people misunderstand. As a daughter-in-law, I deliberately make things difficult for my mother-in-law." Xiao Wang said with a smile. "However, after the beginning of spring, our family really has a few waves of distinguished guests. A sister-in-law of my natal family, whose son will come to Liangcheng to discuss business in early February, my old sister-in-law thought of stopping by to see me. I guess, it might be better than Yuyi has to arrive early."

Mrs. Xiao Wang said to Mr. Xiao, "It's my sister-in-law after all. I heard that her daughter will bring her here too. This is because my cousin is here as a guest. Otherwise, let Yun'er also go to greet her. I don't treat one favorably than another. Courtesy of our family."

The old lady asked casually, "Your natal sister-in-law? Which natal sister-in-law of yours, why didn't I know that your natal family also has a sister-in-law who is waiting to marry a girl."

Mrs. Xiao paused, "Although this sister-in-law is a side branch, she couldn't help but gave birth to a good son. Huidefang, the master knows, it was his son who opened it. Her family has been very close to my elder brother's in recent years. The elder brother said more than once that her son is the best of the generation of the Wang clan."

"The boss of Huidefang wants to come to Liangcheng to discuss business?" Mr. Xiao was concerned about another aspect.

"That's right, but it's not decided yet. I'm probably here to see the situation." Xiao Wang said, "That kid is capable, and the Xiao family's children are not bad. Wouldn't it be great for the two sides to communicate with each other then?"

Master Xiao tapped on the armrest of the stool again and again, which was a sign of his thinking.The scene suddenly became deserted.

Xiao Wang looked at Master Xiao and said carefully, "If Master has no objection, I will arrange someone to go."

"Huh? What are the arrangements?" Master Xiao seemed to have just recovered.

"It means to ask Yun'er to pick up my sister-in-law." Xiao Wangshi said. "Feng'er is going to pick up Yuyi, so it must be the same here!"

"Confused. Can a cousin with a three-thousand-mile appearance compare to my upright cousin?" Master Xiao said. "Your relative is here. You have arranged it properly in the outer courtyard. It's almost enough to hold a welcome banquet, and let Yun'er pick it up? Then my son doesn't have to do anything every day. He can just pick up his relatives every day."

"Feng'er, when you go to the capital, stop by Xiao's gold shop to take a look. The profit sent at the end of last year was nearly one-third less than in previous years. Go and see what's going on." Master Xiao said.

"Just take your wife with you." Mr. Xiao said after a moment of contemplation, "It's good to go out and see the world, there are not many such opportunities."

Xiao Feng nodded calmly, but Li Huilan was a little happy, "Thank you dad, thank you grandma."

Coming out of the old lady's yard, Li Huilan excitedly grabbed Wu Xia's arm and chirped, as if she would arrive in the capital tomorrow.Now, Li Huilan really regarded Wu Xia as a good girlfriend.Wu Xia said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, don't get excited, it's not too late to get excited when you don't get seasick on the boat."

"I'm not afraid of seasickness, and I don't know what to do in the capital. Wu Xia, don't worry, I will bring you special products from the capital." Li Huilan said.During this period of time, Xiao Wang's harshness towards her is still the same, but her relationship with Xiao Feng is getting better and better, which makes her more and more cheerful.

"There is no need for special products. I miss the pea yellow shop under the pagoda tree at Daqianmen very much. My sister-in-law doesn't want to bring me anything else, just bring back a few boxes of pea yellow." Wu Xia said.

"Okay, the pea yellow under the locust tree in Daqianmen, I remember it." Li Huilan said with a smile.

After separating from Xiao Feng and his wife, Wu Xia said to Xiao Yun, "I said, why did you hear that Wang Yuyi was coming over? My wife is so calm. It turns out that the rescue has been arranged a long time ago? The young lady of the next branch of Wang's family, hey, I'm still here." I thought the wife my wife proposed to Xiao Lei would be of a higher class."

"You say that, because you have never heard of Huidefang. Huidefang appeared in the capital three years ago and quickly became the primary place for dignitaries to socialize. You call it a restaurant, but it's not just a restaurant. You say it's a restaurant. It's a technical workshop, his skills are not outstanding, you say he is a brothel, he has never publicly traded ROU, everyone wants to emulate the business model of Huidefang, but they have all failed." Xiao Yun explained very calmly explain.

"There is only one in the capital, and I think it must be making a lot of money every day. But what, he has only been in business for three years, no matter how much money he makes, he still lacks a bit of background. Does the wife think that if Xiao Lei married his sister, that person will be Can you tell Xiao Lei about the way Huidefang operates?" Wu Xia said.

"It's impossible to tell nature completely, but if you want to participate in it, you can still share some money. Even if you don't have anything, you are still a powerful foreign family, much better than Cousin Yuyi." Xiao Yun said .

"If Cousin Yuyi is a good girl, I will also help her escape from this whirlpool. Half points will be deducted if she has a wife. As for Xiao Lei, he is also good-looking. I heard that he recently hired her in Baihualou. An oiran, really." Wu Xia said with a smack of tongue.

"Where did you know that?" Xiao Yun had a strange expression on his face. "The news of Xiao Lei's being in the brothel, my wife has always been very guarded, so she won't reveal the slightest bit in front of my father and grandmother?"

"If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing. If you want to know, you will know." Wu Xia said mischievously.Before he reached the gate of the courtyard, the servant beside Master Xiao was already waiting there.

"Second master, the master told you to go over and lie down." The boy said after saluting.

"Okay, I'll go." Xiao Yun said to the boy, and then said to Wu Xia, "If you are bored at home, go out for a walk, that Wu Yongji always whispers in my ear that he wants to see you. "

"Then when will you come back from dad? I'll wait for you to go out together." Wu Xia thought for a while and said that he was able to go out because of Master Xiao's words. Last year, he wanted the new wife to keep a low profile. some.

"I probably went straight out of my father's place. If you get tired from shopping, go to the Nanyang store and I'll ask Ah Jia to find you." Xiao Yun said.

"Okay." Wu Xia said.

In the end, Wu Xia didn't come back with Xiao Yun. He wandered around the city, and when he arrived at the entrance of Nanyang Shop, the shopkeeper came over to pass a message that the second master was delayed by something and couldn't come over. Check here to see if there is anyone you like, and then go back by yourself.

If you can't wait for people, what is there to do in the store?Wu Xia only confessed to send a box of fragrant wood beads to Wu's house outside the city, and then went back by car.

After reading a few books, practicing calligraphy, and lying down on the bed after eating, Wu Xia yawned and wanted to sleep thinking about how depraved his life was.

When Xiao Yun came back, Wu Xia woke up after a nap, so he knew when Xiao Yun got into bed.Tucking his legs between Xiao Yun's legs, he stretched his hands into Xiao Yun's arms, "What are you busy with? Are you back so late?"

Xiao Yun was originally afraid that the cold air on his body would chill Wu Xia, but it turned out that Wu Xia was fine and rushed forward.Xiao Yun could only tuck in the bed and stroke Wu Xia's temples. "Why haven't you slept yet? It's nothing. Dad has some guesses. I'll go outside to inquire about the news."

"What guess? Is it related to Huidefang?" Wu Xia muttered. "I got it."

"My wife is so smart." Xiao Yun pecked Wu Xia's mouth, "Then guess what it is?"

"Don't guess, tell me." Wu Xia said.

Xiao Yun thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with telling Wu Xia, so he said, "Huidefang is very cautious in opening a branch. My wife said that the boss of Huidefang was going to Liangcheng to discuss business. Dad wondered if the court had What action."

"The boss of Huidefang doesn't necessarily come to discuss business because of Huidefang? Maybe he wants to do some other business. The court? What should the court be involved in?" Wu Xia seemed to be a little sober.

"When the first emperor was in power, he said that he would open the sea ban. There have been rumors, but it has never been implemented. Today, it has been five years since he ascended the throne. The government is in hand, and the killing is decisive. Now there are rumors, and I am afraid it will succeed. "Xiao Yun said.

Wu Xia was silent for a moment, and said, "Even if the imperial court really lifts the sea ban, the location will not be in Liangcheng. Liangcheng is too close to the capital."

"Even if you are not in Liangcheng, Liangcheng will benefit a lot if the sea ban is opened," Xiao Yun said.

"It's more likely to open in Dongzhou, Xizhou." Wu Xia guessed, "If it's true, let's hurry over and buy the land."

"The coastal line is so long, do you know which one to choose? Let's wait for the news to be confirmed. No matter what, Liangcheng will definitely become an important transit port by then. If you seize the opportunity, the Xiao family will be able to rise to the next level." Xiao Yun said, "But for now, go to sleep."

"If the sea ban is really lifted, which one of you will Dad send to develop the port area?" Wu Xia asked.

Xiao Yun's breathing was even and long, but Wu Xia knew he hadn't slept.

"Father's ambitions are definitely not limited to ports. He also wants to develop sea routes. Who will be in charge then?" Wu Xia asked again.

Xiao Yun didn't answer.

Wu Xia said leisurely, "Hey - there is an ambitious father who likes to work hard, being a son is not enough to be successful."
