Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

Xishi is Xu Chengqi's eldest daughter and first child.

Compared to his later son, Xishi was sensible and well-behaved, which made him less worried.

During this period, I have been worrying about everything that I hadn't worried about in the past thirteen years.

It's no wonder that Luo Caixuan, who had always abided by the rules and respected her parents-in-law, got so angry that she dared to kick her mother-in-law out of the house. That day, Xu Xishi had blood on half of his face and couldn't even open his eyes, which was really scary.

Luo Caixuan is the daughter of a hunter.

In her mind, the He family's actions were probably worse than the animals in the mountains.

She didn't chop the He family members with a knife, but just let the men of the Luo family beat them up to vent their anger. This was because she had seen that the Luo family had been living half-dependent on the Xu family over the years, so she gave the Xu family face.

They are all in-laws, so the Luo family doesn't have as many taboos as the Xu family when it comes to beating the He family.

Luo Caixuan couldn't understand why the He family couldn't take advantage of others like her own family did, and the family could just work a little harder and live a comfortable life.

He would fall to the ground and couldn't stand up without help. He couldn't eat without being fed. He even became a thief and attacked her daughter, the eldest daughter of the Xu family.

Luo Caixuan realized that she could no longer serve He Xiangmei and the He family.

Xu Chengqi is a coward, so she can't rely on him alone.

If Xu Chengqi talked to her about filial piety, she would take her daughter and son back to her parents' home to fulfill Xu Chengqi's filial piety.

Women, when they are really ruthless, are indeed more generous than men.

Fortunately, Xu Chengqi was a little more "clear-headed" than Xu Huaishan, and understood the importance of a small family, so he did not end up like another man who was separated from his wife and children.

He took some time to tell the He family that Nian Yue was still willing to take care of He Xiangmei, and only then did he trick the He family into coming to Lezhou.

So, it’s not that Xu Chengqi doesn’t scheme against others, he just doesn’t scheme often and is not good at it.

He thought that under the watchful eyes of his aunt, Xu Nianyue did not dare to take too good care of the He family, but he did not expect that everyone was taken care of in the salt well.

Even with the threat of whips from the salt well manager and guards, the He family was able to work.

In fact, in the early years, the He family was indeed capable of working, but after taking advantage of the Xu family, they gradually degenerated into leeches that could only suck blood.

Xu Siyu handed a dagger to Xu Chengqi.

"Nian Yue did a great job dealing with the He family. But if you and your wife feel that's not enough, take this dagger and go 'do the job'. No one will stop you."

Xu Chengqi took the dagger, stared at it for a long time, and carefully put it into his sleeve.

"I'll take this dagger back with me. Take it as a reminder!" Xu Chengqi meant that he would not pursue the He family for punishment.

In his heart, Xu Nianyue had already punished him. Besides, the injury his daughter suffered could not be compensated even if he killed the person.

Thinking of his eldest daughter, Xu Chengqi wanted to ask Xu Siyu for advice.

"Aunt, although the Hu family, who arranged the engagement for Xishi, didn't say they wanted to cancel the engagement, they have met with the matchmaker privately these days." After Xu Xishi got into trouble, Xu Chengqi had been sending people to keep an eye on the Hu family so that he could respond.

"Oh?"

"How did the Hu family get together?" Xu Siyu asked. She didn't know much about the previous events.

Since Xu Siyu divided the property and came to Lezhou, she naturally didn't have much time to take care of the Xu family's affairs in Yunyang Town.

I just ask whoever I meet about their recent situation.

Xu Xishi's parents and grandparents are all alive, so Xu Siyu naturally doesn't have to worry about his marriage, unless the Xu family has any unusual ideas.

"The Hu family is a major tax payer in Heqing County.

Since Chengzi entered the Sinong Temple and got sweet potatoes and potatoes from you, my aunt, for promotion, the master of the Hu family came to Xu Zhuang to buy seeds several times.

After that, although we no longer needed to buy seeds, the Hu family and our family developed a close relationship and visited each other every year.

At the beginning of last year, it was the 60th birthday of the old lady of the Hu family. The old family members specially sent an invitation to Caixuan, inviting her and her daughter to attend the banquet.

My family thought that Xishi was already twelve years old and it was time for her to meet people, so I took her and her mother with me.

So, the Hu family met Xishi and thought she was a good match for their eldest son, so they proposed to us. Caixuan and I also thought the Hu family was wealthy and generous, and that the eldest son was a scholar, so the two families officially arranged the marriage.

"Scholar? Have you achieved any honors?"

"She is now a scholar. According to the Hu family's plan, if we wait another two years, Xishi will be able to marry into the family after reaching the age of marriage. Young Master Hu has already taken the provincial examination. If he passes, Xishi will become the wife of a juren."

This marriage sounds good.

but……

"Are you cherishing time and jumping for joy?"

Xu Siyu asked, but Xu Chengqi couldn't answer.

In response to this, Xu Siyu could only shake her head and said, "I'm afraid this marriage is not suitable."

"Really? My aunt thinks so too?" Xu Chengqi arranged for people to keep an eye on the Hu family's movements, and he half thought that the Hu family would come to cancel the engagement.

"If the Hu family's son is interested in a career in government, this marriage is probably not suitable."

"But even if he passes the imperial examination, he shouldn't still be much lower than Xiaogu and Chengzi."

"If he enters the government, his wife will be an official's wife. Let's not talk about the distant past. Look at Madam Hong. When she was devoted to Mr. Hong's career, did she never stop attending banquets and social events?

Xishi is young and has a disfigured face, so it's inevitable that he will feel inferior.

Neither you nor Caixuan are good at socializing. If you just rely on the reputation of Chengzi and his wife and me, Xishi will have to pay a lot.

do you understand? "

Xu Siyu was not sure that the Hu family was not a good match.

She was just reminding Xu Chengqi from a relatively objective perspective.

Since the other party has taken the initiative to find another matchmaker, it means that he is concerned about Xu Xishi's disfigurement.

Even if the marriage goes ahead in the end, most men in the world are lustful, especially those scholars who have learned the saying "beauties are found in books".

If you claim to be a talented man, who wouldn't want a beautiful woman as your partner?

A marriage that starts with problems is destined to consume more emotions between the couple.

In this era, women who are still in a weak position in marriage must bear more.

Being humble and helping her husband take a concubine is a small matter. What Xu Xishi fears most is that her husband's family will find out that the girl from the Xu family is disfigured, but they are still willing to marry her. This will consume Xu Xishi's life.

Xu Chengqi also thought about the reason, but he was reluctant to give up such a good son-in-law.

"Auntie, if the Hu family cancels the engagement, won't Xishi's marriage be even more difficult?"

This was the problem that troubled Xu Chengqi. If Xishi had still been in good shape, he wouldn't have been so worried. Of course, if she hadn't been disfigured, there wouldn't have been such worries. He only needed to wait two or three years for his daughter to marry in style.

"Chengqi, you are really going backwards as you grow older." Xu Siyu shook her head again. The previous shaking of her head was simply referring to her pessimism about Xu Xishi's marriage, but this time she shook her head because of her disappointment in Xu Chengqi.

"You may have forgotten that before Nian Yue got married, I set the rule of freedom of marriage for the girls in my family."

Xu Chengqi is a man and he really forgot.

But when Xu Siyu mentioned it this way, his memory immediately reacted.
