Chapter 708: Free to Retract
Mrs. Xia was naturally worried about Xia Siya and Tang Bao going out to play.
So, he told his son Xia Siming: "You go with them and take good care of your two sisters. Don't let anyone bully them."
After saying that, he looked at Xia Siya and warned her, "Don't talk too loudly outside, don't jump up and down when you walk, be steady, be able to pick up a brush to paint, smile without showing your teeth, and walk without swinging your skirt..."
"Mom, I know. Don't worry. Once I leave our house, I will be a virtuous and elegant lady!" Xia Siya said confidently.
After saying that, she glanced at Shi Liu, who was standing behind Tang Bao with her brows lowered, and continued, "Even after Shi Liu came to the capital, she has the airs of a maid from a wealthy family. I can't let Shi Liu outshine me, can I?"
Following Xia Siya's words, everyone looked at Shi Liu.
Shi Liu knelt down and saluted Xia Siya in a standard manner, saying with a smile, "Miss Xia, you are so kind."
"Look, look, even Shi Liu's speech is elegant," Xia Siya exclaimed. "You can tell at a glance that her mistress is a well-educated and well-mannered girl."
Shi Liu couldn't hold it back, and a look of pride appeared on his face.
"Of course, I represent the reputation of our lady!" Shi Liu raised her chin proudly.
Xia Siya giggled twice.
"See, it's broken."
Pomegranate:"……"
With her chin drooping and her eyes lowered, she instantly turned into a well-behaved maidservant.
——Free to control.
Madam Xia sighed, "Shi Liu is right. When you go out, you should follow the rules and etiquette. You can't let others look down on you."
After saying this, she lovingly straightened the pearl flower on Tang Bao's head and added, "Stay close to your brothers and sisters, and don't get lost. If they only care about playing by themselves and can't take good care of you, come back and tell your godmother, and she will beat them with a feather duster."
"It's true that now that I have a goddaughter, my own sons and daughters have become like weeds." Xia Siya sighed and said, "Second brother, do you understand how I've felt all these years?"
Xia Siming said: "With sister Fuya, I feel that you, my sister, have become a weed in my second brother's heart."
Xia Siya: “…”
No love anymore!
Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and just as they were about to leave, Su Laowu came out of the study and said goodbye to Mrs. Xia.
As soon as Xia Siya saw Su Laowu, her eyes lit up.
"Fifth brother, what do you think? Have you decided?"
The top scholar’s half-master!
Su Laowu clenched his right fist slightly and coughed lightly.
"I've decided. I won't bother Sister Siya anymore."
Xia Siya's face was full of regret.
"Fifth brother, you are so rude!"
"I'm sorry to disappoint Sister Siya."
Su Laowu said sorry, but there was no sincerity on his face.
Mrs. Xia and Xia Siming were confused by what the two people said.
Tang Bao knew it, but she also knew that Sister Siya was just daydreaming.
Several people said goodbye to Mrs. Xia and walked out.
Xia Siya held Tang Bao's hand and they walked in the middle.
"Fifth brother, aren't you going back to study?" Xia Siya asked with her head tilted.
"Learning is endless, and it takes time to accumulate. I don't mind this little bit of time."
There was a hint of calm pride in Su Laowu's tone.
Tang Bao felt that she couldn't neglect the older brother Xia who was like a grown-up girl.
So, he tilted his head and asked, "Second brother, are you also participating in the Autumn Examination?"
"Yeah." Xia Siming nodded.
Upon hearing this, Xia Siya exclaimed in surprise: "Second brother, aren't you not going to participate?"
"Dad told me last night that I should participate." Xia Siming said, glancing at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao: “…”
Why are you looking at me?
After hearing what Xia Siming said, Xia Siya said "Oh".
Then he put the matter of his brother behind his head.
Anyway, even if her second brother participated, he would not be able to get the first place in the exam.
Who made us have Fifth Brother Su?
"Fifth brother, do you have money?" Xia Siya said, "We're going to Juxianglou for roast duck at noon, and we're also going to the snack street to buy candied fruit, and we're also going to Zhenbaozhai for a stroll..."
Several people walked and talked.
Because of the conversation, Su Laowu walked to Xia Siya's right side, and Xia Siming walked to Tang Bao's left side.
Mrs. Xia was going to the side porch for the director. When she reached the door of the porch, she turned her head to look at the backs of four people walking side by side, and she couldn't help but pause.
Mother Zou was walking behind Mrs. Xia and stopped when she saw this.
"Madam, the fifth young master of the Su family is truly a rare talent, and he gets along very well with the young lady..." said Mother Zou.
Mrs. Xia's eyes flashed and she nodded.
Then, he sighed.
My family is currently discussing marriage with the Bai family, so it’s too late to say anything.
Mother Zou added, "It's a pity that Miss Su is a little young. Otherwise, if Madam likes Miss Su so much, it would be perfect for her to stay at home and be her daughter-in-law."
Madam Xia: “…”
My heart moved.
Although Fuya is young, her son can wait for a few more years, right?
The fifth son of the Su family is already twenty-three years old this year, but he still hasn’t gotten married, right?
Zou Shuqin and Mo Ju were walking to the corner of the porch when they saw the backs of Tang Bao and others.
Not only that, he also happened to hear what Zou's mother said.
Mo Ju whispered angrily, "Miss, the concubine is too neglectful to you."
Zou Shuqin said nothing, turned the corner and walked towards Mrs. Xia.
"Meet my aunt."
Zou Shuqin bowed with a smile on her face.
When Mrs. Xia saw Zou Shuqin, she remembered that her son and daughter had gone shopping and had not brought her niece with them.
"Aunt, where's my cousin?" Zou Shuqin said with a smile, "I heard my cousin has some new patterns. I want to borrow them and make a pair of shoes for you..."
When Zou Shuqin said this, an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.
Then, she continued, "I wanted to ask my cousin to go for a walk on the street and buy a gift for Miss Su. I just went to my cousin's yard, and the servant said that my cousin came to see you, aunt..."
Mrs. Xia was embarrassed when she heard what Zou Shuqin said.
My niece made shoes for herself and bought gifts for her goddaughter...
Mrs. Xia was not only embarrassed, but also felt that she had wronged her niece.
"Um, your cousin went out..."
Mrs. Xia was too embarrassed to explain herself.
"Is that so..." Zou Shuqin's face was full of disappointment.
Mrs. Xia felt more and more uncomfortable.
"In a few days, my aunt will hold a flower-viewing banquet. Later, I will ask the tailor from Hongxiufang to come over and make a few sets of clothes for you." Mrs. Xia said.
Hongxiufang is the best ready-made clothing shop in the city.
Every year, the most popular clothing styles in the capital come from Hongxiufang.
Because the main store of Hongxiufang is in the capital, the one in the provincial capital is a branch.
Of course, the prices of clothes from Hongxiufang are also quite high.
In order to make amends to her niece, Mrs. Xia directly promised her several sets of contracts.
