The wind is gentle and the fun is endless

The hidden meaning in the eldest aunt's words was very obvious, and everyone in the group could understand it. The servants around also looked at each other, secretly glanced at each other, shook their heads silently, sighed, and dispersed.

Xiangyue looked at Huanhuan, frowned, and hesitated for a few times, not knowing how to comfort her, so she had to leave with an apologetic look in her eyes. Huanhuan saw Xiangyue's intentions, but showed Xiangyue a comforting smile and watched Xiangyue leave.

After Xiangyue left, Huanhuan turned her gaze to Xu Qu, only to see Xu Qu was silent, and his dark eyes were even more worried. Huanhuan thought: Did he see when my aunt was talking? However, Huanhuan didn't want to ask Xu Qu this question. She felt that she still had a lot of things to do, and didn't want to trap herself and Xu Qu in such a boring thing.

So he slowly pulled Xu Qu and said, "Let's go."

Xu Qu looked at Huan Huan and smiled faintly, and the two of them walked towards Xin Garden. On the way, Xu Qu, who had been silent for a long time, took a long breath and said to Huan Huan: "The Xiangyunsha incident has finally come to an end."

He nodded slowly and smiled at Xu Qu: "Yes, your second uncle has been away recently, and you have been very hard-working."

Xu Qu smiled and said, "I have done some, learned some, and understood some. But overall, I don't think I have done much."

He nodded slowly, and said unconsciously, "Indeed, Xie Jin did a lot."

Xu Qu didn't expect Huan Huan to say that. He was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, feeling guilty for saying something wrong: "It's still the mother who takes care of the overall situation and has to work harder."

Looking at Xu Qu slowly, she smiled and said seriously, "I'm not trying to berate her with any evil intentions. I really think Xie Jin is amazing. The talks were already falling apart, so how did she think of bringing Shopkeeper Cao and his wife to the silver shop to buy jewelry to save the situation?"

Xu Qu watched silently for a while and said, "It's not necessarily true that the Cao couple changed their minds because of what they saw in the silver shop. I think they may have regretted it a long time ago and wanted to turn back. The silver shop was just a way for them to save face."

Huanhuan looked at Xu Qu with a twinkling gaze and asked mischievously, "Do you really think so?"

Xu Qu looked at her gently and said slowly: "Really, do you believe me?"

He said slowly and seriously: "As long as your promise is true, I will believe it."

Xu Qu asked: "What would you do if you found out that I lied to you?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "It depends on what the lie is. A big lie is still unforgivable."

Xu Qu kept silent after hearing this, but he couldn't help asking again: "What will happen if I don't forgive you?"

After thinking for a while, she said, "I don't know either. Maybe she will go back to her parents' home and never come back."

Hearing this, Xu Qu's expression suddenly changed and his face looked extremely bad.

Seeing him like this, she smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. You'd have to be a serious deceiver to do that. Being afraid of insects won't be a problem."

Xu Qu looked at him and said word by word: "I am not afraid of insects."

He slowly stopped and asked curiously, "Then why were you hiding behind me yesterday?"

Xu Qu replied: "You were the one who pulled me, and you took the initiative to stand in front of me. Your movements were too fast, and I didn't have time to react."

He slowly said depressedly: "It's my fault?"

Xu Qu looked at Huan Huan hesitantly and said in a tentative tone: "Anyway, if I didn't say it, then it doesn't count as me lying to you, right?"

Slowly looking up at Xu Qu, she was speechless for a moment. She first carefully recalled what happened yesterday, then thought about Xu Qu's words, and finally said helplessly: "Okay."

Xu Qu seemed to have put down a heavy burden and said, "You must remember this sentence." After that, he left with a calm expression and a relaxed step.

However, Xu Qu's relief did not last long, because Madam Xie sent someone to ask his second uncle to discuss the transportation of goods, but his second uncle refused on the grounds that Xiangyin was not feeling well and could not get away. So Madam Xie had to send someone to find Xu Qu again, and Xu Qu went to Jingyuan again. After he left, he slowly went to the rouge shop.

When Xu Qu came back in the evening, he was still with Madam Xie. He went to pay his respects to Madam Xie and visit Xu Qu. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard his aunt throwing a tantrum in the main hall of Jingyuan.

"Bihua has made great contributions this time! It's not right to let her go like this! If she is so ungrateful, how will others look at our Xu family?" It can be heard that the eldest aunt is trying to control her emotions, but her voice is still very loud.

I only heard Madam Xie say: "Bihua is not an outsider, I will also give her a good reward, so don't worry about this, sister."

Huanhuan walked in at this time. The eldest aunt glanced at Huanhuan and continued to frown at Madam Xie and said, "Since she is not an outsider, she should be allowed to stay in the mansion for a few more days and treated well. Is this how we do things in our Xu family?"

Madam Xie smiled and said, "She finally came back. My brother is not in good health, so she should take the opportunity to honor her father."

Originally, this reason was irrefutable, but the eldest aunt took the opportunity to say, "Bihua is not easy. She has no mother to confide in her husband's family, and many of her personal matters are not suitable to be told to her father. It is not easy to have a close aunt like you, but it is not so easy to talk to you. It would be great if she could live here permanently in the future, then all these problems would be solved."

Mrs. Xie looked displeased, but she still maintained a friendly appearance and said, "Sister, you are joking. This is impossible."

The eldest aunt smiled meaningfully and said, "I still say that everything depends on human effort. Bihua has been busy helping our Xu family this time, so I can't let it go. I will invite her to be my guest in two days and treat her well."

Mrs. Xie was unable to refute such a legitimate reason. She looked at her aunt and stopped talking, tacitly agreeing.

Just when everyone in the house was in silence, Xu Qu walked in.

When Mrs. Xie saw Xu Qu, she asked, "Have you arranged it?"

After Xu Qu quickly bowed to his aunt, he turned to Madam Xie and replied, "It's probably been discussed. This is my first time there, so I'll have to discuss the details with the various shopkeepers in the next few days."

After hearing this, the eldest aunt stepped forward, pulled Xu Qu's sleeve and said dissatisfiedly: "That Xu Si! He really takes all the advantages in normal times, but becomes a deserter at the critical moment. You all know our Qu'er's situation. And it's the first time too. How can he lead such a far place alone?" As she spoke, she was about to cry.

Mrs. Xie, the stepmother, was speechless after hearing these words, so Xu Qu said, "You will have to learn it sooner or later, so it would be better if you make detailed arrangements beforehand."

The aunt could only sigh helplessly.

Huanhuan probably guessed at this time that the final plan was to send Xu Qu to Xijiang.

This news really made Huanhuan's heart tighten. Before Xu Qu set off, she already felt reluctant to let him go. So until she returned to Xinyuan, she was worried. Sometimes she was worried about him, and sometimes she was thinking about how to prepare clothes for Xu Qu on the road.

From time to time, Xu Qu looked at Huanhuan with a worried look in his eyes. Seeing Huanhuan's worried look, he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.

In the next two days, the eldest aunt always found various opportunities to brag about Xie Jin. Yes, that's right, every opportunity, including to the servants whom she had always despised, she would not hesitate to "humble herself" and tell them all the good things about Xie Jin.

The servants were frightened and confused. If they catered to her, it would be against their will. If they didn't cater to her, it would be inappropriate. Occasionally, one or two of them would nod woodenly to the words of the aunt, which would make the aunt very proud, but would also attract the eyes of anger from other companions.

That day, just after breakfast, Xu Qu was arranging things for Youcheng, Daping and a few servants in the study, and Huanhuan had also packed up and was about to leave for the rouge shop, but the eldest aunt came for the first time.

Huanhuan was naturally very surprised. She politely bowed to her aunt and asked, "Aunt, are you here to see my husband? I'll go call him." After saying that, she was about to go to the study.

But the eldest aunt stopped her and said, "No need, I came to find you."

This made Huanhuan even more puzzled. Just at this time, Xu Qu had finished talking about what happened in the room, and the servants came out one after another. Passing by the main hall, they all bowed to their aunt and Huanhuan.

She responded to them with a slow smile, and her aunt, as usual, raised her head and nodded slightly.

At this moment, Youcheng, who was at the front, muttered, "Hurry up, should we go? Why are you blocking the road?" Then he kicked Daping in front of him.

Daping was kicked unexpectedly and fell forward with a cry of "Ouch", saying angrily: "Who is that? What are you doing..."

Before Daping could finish his words, Youcheng quickly grabbed Daping's clothes to prevent him from falling, and said to him cheerfully, "Don't worry, we are all behind you and won't let you fall." While saying this, he winked at Daping who turned around.

Daping was very confused, but seeing that Yacheng, who was always cunning, was like this, although he didn't understand the reason yet, he had to cooperate. He took back the swear words that were about to come out of his mouth and just pointed at Yacheng angrily.

You Chengze still smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are all behind you to support you, you will be fine." After that, he turned his head and nodded slowly with a smile.

He looked at them slowly and silently with a knowing smile, while the aunt glanced at Youcheng fiercely and rolled her eyes.
