Chapter 486: Anyway, these people can't beat Xu Yu
Sang Zhixia was in a dilemma. Liu Qingfang, who had been sent to the east courtyard earlier, walked along the way and had already roughly seen the layout of the Xu family.
The house here is extremely luxurious in the village, but of course it can't be compared with the Jiaxing Marquis Mansion.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.
There are four courtyards extending from the main courtyard, occupying one corner each of the east, west, south and north.
They were about to move into the east side courtyard of the east courtyard.
According to Aunt Xie, the east courtyard is not big, with two rooms for entry and exit, which is just right for Liu Qingfang and her son to live there.
Aunt Xie doesn’t talk much. She answers questions and never says more if no one asks.
Just a few words were enough to understand the current situation, and Liu Qingfang also had an idea of her current situation.
Without waiting for Aunt Xie to speak, Liu Qingfang took the initiative to say, "We haven't needed anyone to wait on us along the way. I don't have anything important to do, so I can do it myself. There's no need to cause any more trouble."
The young master and young lady of the Xu family don't have anyone to serve them, so there is no need for them and their mother to be treated specially.
Aunt Xie was slightly startled for a moment, then bowed her head and said respectfully, "It's not a big deal. I'll just wait for you to settle down and add two maids to serve you. It's just a piece of cake for the boss."
"No."
Liu Qingfang hugged her son and smiled, shaking her head: "No need for all that."
"If there's something I don't know, I can just ask boldly. It won't be too much trouble."
Liu Qingfang insisted on doing so, and Aunt Xie had no choice but to agree temporarily.
The empty houses in the east courtyard are also cleaned every day, and when temporarily arranging for someone to live in them, only some necessary small items need to be added.
Aunt Xie quickly prepared everything she needed and without staying any longer, she bowed and left immediately.
Liu Qingfang held Aunt Xie's wrists with both hands to prevent her from completing the ceremony. She calmly pulled the jade bracelet off her wrist and stuffed it into Aunt Xie's hand.
"Mom is the closest person to the young lady. From now on, we will live here, so it's inevitable that we will bother you. If there is anything wrong, I hope you can point it out."
If it were in Kyoto, Liu Qingfang's behavior would not be wrong.
After all, there is a folk saying that a prime minister's servant is a seventh-rank official. If a respectable servant becomes a mischievous little devil, he can be more difficult to deal with than a real master.
But this is the Xu family in Luobei Village.
Although Aunt Xie called herself Sang Zhixia's servant, Sang Zhixia treated her as an elder, and the Xu family, young and old, never looked down on her.
Such a method is really redundant here.
Aunt Xie's brows were respectful, and she calmly avoided the jade bracelet in Liu Qingfang's hand. She said with a kind smile, "Madam, you are too polite. This is all part of our job, and we don't deserve such a generous gift from you."
"But……"
"Madam is the host's distinguished guest. You can do whatever you want. If you have any instructions, you can just call us over. Once we know what you want, we will do our best to help you."
Aunt Xie smoothed over her words without a single mistake, and she and Diancui retreated with their heads lowered, closing the open door politely.
Liu Qingfang took off the bracelet but did not give it away. She was silent for a moment, then looked down at her son who had been looking at her eagerly, tears in her eyes.
The northwest is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and there is no communication via wild geese.
They were trapped here, not knowing what the future would hold or what would happen to their family...
Liu Qingfang was overwhelmed with grief. She hugged her ignorant son tightly and bit her lower lip hard, not daring to let herself cry out even a sound.
At the same time, Aunt Xie also told every word of what happened in the east courtyard, and Sang Zhixia was a little distracted while listening.
Aunt Xu laughed after hearing this and said, "Xia Xia was worried that she would be picked on because she had no servants to serve her. Now she feels relieved?"
Liu Qingfang is a sensible person and is aware of his situation.
In such a situation, she would not cause trouble out of nothing.
Sang Zhixia couldn't explain what she felt. She sighed and looked down at the silk thread she was slowly winding. She said slowly, "It's best not to be picky. Otherwise, I really don't know how I'm going to explain this to General Chen."
This is the person that Chen Nianhe spent a lot of effort to send out.
Since Chen Nianhe trusts her, she must take good care of him. Otherwise, if Chen Nianhe sees her in the future, she won't be able to argue with General Chen with his loud voice.
Sang Zhixia recalled the things Liu Qingfang brought with her when she came and said, "We've already settled everything. It's inconvenient to have nothing."
"Well, Diancui, go ask the young master of the Chen family about his height. Bring a tape measure with you and take the mother and son's measurements. Send them to Second Aunt's embroidery shop tomorrow and bring back a few suitable clothes for them to change into."
In theory, Young Master Chen and Xu Mingyang are not much different in age, so Xu Mingyang can wear the clothes even if he has never worn them before.
But Sang Zhixia's mind flashed back to the young master's overly thin physique and Xu Mingyang, who had grown into a calf. She said with a smile, "If there really is nothing suitable, just take two similar ones and urge the embroidery shop to make a few more first."
But going back and forth would take time. Xu Wenxiu paused and said, "I'm afraid it would be too late if we rush to do it now. Why don't we take Mingxu's first?"
Xu Wenxiu tried to compare the height Sang Zhixia had described and sighed, "From what you said, her child is about the same height as our Mingxu, isn't he?"
Although Xu Mingxu is not very old, he has inherited the tall stature passed down from the Xu family, and is not much different from the young master of the Chen family.
Sang Zhixia was a little unsure for a moment, and Xu Wenxiu said with a smile, "It's okay."
"Well, you sit down and talk to your Third Aunt for a while, I'll go see you off."
Sang Zhixia subconsciously said, "How can that be possible?"
"You are the elder, this..."
"Hey, I've met that person before. She might feel more at ease seeing me now. It's perfect for me to go."
Xu Wenxiu took Diancui away without saying anything to pack her clothes. Sang Zhixia also quickly asked Huashan to go back to the north courtyard, find a few sets of clothes that she had not had time to wear before she became pregnant, and sent them over.
Aunt Xu fiddled with the silk thread in her hand intently, and without looking up, she said, "Your mother-in-law has a soft temper, but she's been in the inner house for decades, so she's the most reliable when it comes to handling these matters. Just rest assured."
Sang Zhixia was not worried about this.
Sang Zhixia hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Aunt San, I was thinking about Xu Yu."
Aunt Xu paused, and Sang Zhixia smiled bitterly and said, "General Chen has made peace with our family, but it's hard for us to tell what the other people's situation is like right now."
Liu Qingfang's husband's leg was broken by Xu Yu.
The festival has happened many years ago, and there is no way to deny it.
Aunt Xu's face flashed with embarrassment, and then she adopted an attitude of letting the wind blow and the waves beat, and I remained unmoved. She said calmly, "That's none of your business."
"When Xu Yu gets himself in trouble for causing this trouble, he'll figure out a way to deal with it. Don't worry about it, just let them do what they want."
So what if I hold a grudge?
Could Liu Qingfang pick up a stick and break Xu Yu's legs, or could she order her son, who was not even as tall as Xu Mingxu, to draw a knife against Xu Yu?
If you want to fight, just fight.
Anyway, these people can't beat Xu Yu.
